Morality, the Thread We Cannot Let Go - Epoch Times

Most people have never heard of Mrinank Sharma. That is part of the problem.

On Feb. 9, 2026, Sharma resigned from Anthropic, one of the most influential artificial intelligence companies in the world. He had led its Safeguards Research Team, the group responsible for ensuring that Anthropic’s AI could not be used to help engineer a biological weapon. His final project was a study of how AI systems distort the way people perceive reality. It was serious, consequential work for humankind. His resignation letter was seen more than 14 million times on X. It opened with the words, “the world is in peril.” And it ended with a poem and by announcing that he was leaving one of the most consequential jobs in artificial intelligence to pursue a poetry degree. Yes, you read that right: peril and poetry.

Veronica West -  So on Sunday 2/22/26 early morning,…I woke up to a powerful vision…

…Where I saw Apostles and Prophets being attacked, Stones being thrown at them…I saw that their attackers were filled with hatred and rage…Religious Pharisees…Accusers of the brethren…that cast their stones..

…A Spirit of Pride that hates the Truth…a Mocking Spirit…that despises Covenant…a Spirit of the Philistine…a Spirit of Lawlessness and Rebellion rising up against the Truth Tellers of the Most High…the same Spirit of Rejection and Persecution that saw Stephen Stoned….

But then…

…I heard these words…“Fear Not…For I Am with you…I say WATCH as the Mantle of the Giant Slayer comes upon My Remnant…

….WATCH! As the Stones of False Accusations and hatred…Rage and Religiosity become the stones that will bring the Giants down…

…I say pick up the Stones and Stand up and face that Accuser of the Brethren…that Spirit of Rebellion and Lawlessness…that mocking Spirit of the Philistine that seeks to block up the Well within you…

…I say…No!…The Rivers of Living Waters within your belly shall not be stopped up…they shall not be clogged by the stones and dust of Accusation nor dried up by the heat of Persecution and Trial…

Watchmen Pay Attention: Asian Hornets and Trump! - Veronica West

For three consecutive days, I have been strongly led to pray specifically for President Trump’s health and for Divine Protection over his life!

During this time I have sensed that Satan is actively seeking to orchestrate another Assassination attempt.

I have been led to Pray concerning Reporters entering The White House and his Staff Members working behind the scenes, both at The White House and at Mar a Lago in Florida, as well as every visitor who comes through those locations!

A Quick share and update!

So today, I was again impressed to pray for President Trump, his Administration and his Family.

As did, I suddenly saw in The Spirit a large Hornets Nest being violently shaken and disturbed, and the Hornets became very angry and began to fly out of the Nest.

Now as I looked closer in this strange Vision, I saw that the Hornets were enormous — absolutely massive in size!

Then suddenly I heard,  “Watch — for the Asian Hornets have been released!”

At first, I did not understand what I was hearing, ”Asian Hornets!” —  as I had never heard of such a thing!

I immediately looked it online up to verify what I heard, and was stunned to discover that they are real.

Google said:

“The Asian Giant Hornet, also known as the “murder hornet”, is considered the most dangerous hornet in the world.
… It is massive in size, extremely aggressive, capable of stinging multiple times and carries venom potent enough to cause organ failure and death.”

I was immediately compelled to Pray further and I began to bind a “Murderous Spirit…a Blood thirsty Spirit and a Spirit of Death!”

I was also impressed to Pray against Demonic Incantations  — demonic Spells being cast by high ranking witches and warlocks.

Lastly, I do not believe it is a coincidence that the species I heard identified was “Asian”!

The Watchmen must stay Alert!

Keep Watching and Praying!

God Is Love - Oswald Chambers

"The world does not encourage you to sing, but God does. Song is the sign of an unburdened heart; so sing your songs of love freely, rising ever higher and higher into a fuller understanding of the greatest, grandest fact on the stage of time—God is love."
 

No one but God could have revealed that to the world, for we all see nothing but its contradiction in our own limited experience. From shattered and broken lives, from caverns of despair where fiends rather than men seem to live, come the apparent contradiction to any such statement. No wonder the carnal mind, the merely intellectually cultured, considers us foolish, mere dreamers talking of love when murder, war, famine, lust, pestilence, and selfish cruelty are abroad in the earth.

But, oh, the beauty of the Abraham-like faith that dares to place the center of its life, confidence, action, and hope in an unseen and apparently unknown God. Such faith says, “God is love,” in spite of all appearances to the contrary; it says, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15). Such faith is counted for righteousness.

Look back over your own history, as revealed to you by grace, and you will see one central fact growing large—God is love. No matter how often your faith in such an announcement was clouded, no matter how often the pain and suffering of the moment made you speak carelessly, this statement has carried its own evidence most persistently—God is love. In the future, when trial and difficulties await you, do not be fearful. Whatever and whoever you may lose faith in, do not let this faith slip from you—God is love. Whisper it not only to your heart in its hour of darkness, but here in your corner of God’s earth and man’s great city. Live in the belief of it; preach it by your sweetened, disciplined, happy life; sing it in consecrated moments of peaceful joy; sing until the world around you is wrought to sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not. (Percy Bysshe Shelley)

The world does not encourage you to sing, but God does. Song is the sign of an unburdened heart; so sing your songs of love freely, rising ever higher and higher into a fuller understanding of the greatest, grandest fact on the stage of time—God is love.   READ MORE

I Think Myself Happy - Dr. Sandie Freed, Bedford, TX - Feb 18, 2026

 

The Importance of Joy and Happiness

I had heard from the Lord at the end of 2025 that 2026 would be a year of increased anointing. We would be stretching our tents, enlarging them, and experiencing a great increase. Our spheres of influence would increase, and we would begin to give out of abundance rather than out of lack. He said that He would empower us to overcome the spirits of Mammon and Jezebel in 2026 and bring forth great multiplication in many ways. He also said He was going to judge all barrenness and bring forth fruitfulness.

I was excited for Him to give me more revelation and much more detail. However, on January 1, the Lord began ministering to me about the importance of joy and happiness.

What? That didn't seem so profound... but it is.

In the dictionary, joy and happiness are described similarly, yet we often separate their definitions depending on the subject matter.

Fierce Times Are Coming | Derek Prince

ARE YOU FACING OPPOSITION? - Karen Hardin - February 11, 2026

We are reliving the days of Acts. During the time of Peter and Paul in Acts, they saw the Holy Spirit poured out. The disciples were making other disciples. People were coming to Christ in large numbers. Revival was happening! But simultaneously, there were large groups of people who rose up to oppose them, threaten them and try to destroy them.

At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed. But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and  poisoned their minds against the brothers. So Paul and  Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly  for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders. The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles. (Acts 14:1-4)

They were so effective a great number believed.

Jealous Jews, who were losing influence, went around stirring up people and poisoning their minds to create division.

So Paul and Barnabas “spent considerable time there.” Another version says, they stayed even longer after the Jews stirred up division, speaking boldly for the Lord!

Signs and wonders were taking place—confirming their work.

The people of the city were divided.

Only when they learned there was an assassination plot against them did they go to another city.

Daniel and Revelation, Part 2 - Rick Joyner

       God’s love, truth, and justice are more powerful than any evil. Perhaps the most astonishing consequence of earth’s story is that, even after mankind rebelled and the earth fell into deep depravity under man’s dominion, God Himself determined that He is going to dwell on the earth among men! That reveals God’s absolute commitment to our redemption and restoration.

       This will make the earth, which has experienced the full maturity of evil and debauchery, His capital city of the entire creation! That is the depth and power of His redemption, reconciliation, and devotion to restoration. That which fell is restored to an even higher place than from where it fell. Should this not give us hope for anyone—or any place—regardless of their present spiritual state?

       So, the book of Revelation reveals the ultimate consequence of turning from God and giving evil its way.    READ MORE

February 4, 2026 - What is God’s Will for Every Believer? - Karen Hardin

Probably the majority of us would say we want to fulfill the call of God for our lives. If that is you, keep reading.

In a nutshell, God’s will for every believer is:
to be in covenant-relationship with God the Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
And to be in relationship with others, serving fellow believers and representing Christ to non-believers.

This truth is the main theme throughout both the Old and New Testaments.

#1 - ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
Jesus taught his disciples to pray: Holy Father, Your kingdom come! Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Where is your focus? Is it obeying Christ on how we see God’s kingdom and will on earth as it is in heaven? How many pastors and/or Bible teachers put focus on that important issue? Oftentimes there is more debate on when the rapture comes rather than how we as the Church can make an impact for Christ outside the walls of the church.

#2 - JESUS REVEALED GOD’S WILL ON EARTH

Have You Been Swatting Flies? - Karen Hardin, Tulsa, OK - Jan 31, 2026

Flies in the Natural and the Spiritual

There are two kinds of flies: natural and spiritual.

What started out as swatting natural flies turned into swatting "spiritual flies"—annoyances meant to discourage us and make us come to a halt.

Intruders in Our Home

An odd thing happened at my home recently. We were inundated with flies.

At first, we thought perhaps the door had been left open, allowing flies trying to escape the unseasonable heat to the cooler air inside. But for every fly we killed, one or two more would appear. It was a seemingly never-ending barrage of annoyance. Their constant buzzing noise, flying around us, landing on food and counters. In one evening, we must have killed fifteen to twenty.

It was with a sense of satisfaction and a smile when I killed what I thought was the last fly, only to walk into our bathroom and find another one buzzing around. And then it would start again the next day. That's when we realized that eggs must have been laid by one of the aggravating beasts, and we were now reaping the result.

All of this took place after my husband and I had just come off an excruciatingly busy schedule, launching a three-day revival in a large arena in our city.

The Lord Is Asking, "What Do You See?" It's Time to Shift! - Alane Haynes, San Diego, CA  - Jan 28, 2026

Spiritual Sight Is Increasing: Jeremiah 1:9–12

There has been a shift this month; spiritual sight is increasing. Increased spiritual sight almost always starts with shifting of perception, a lifting of the veil of unbelief. On January 9, the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me about Jeremiah 1:9–12.

I believe this section of Scripture speaks of foundational apostolic truths and prophetic realities. He led me into deeper revelation that I believe is a calling for many. By the Spirit of the Lord in you, may you perceive correctly that what God speaks is already done in the eternal realm; engage your whole being to believe that He will fulfill it here and you will see correctly! Through perceiving it by the Spirit of God as completed, faith comes forth!

"Then the LORD put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth.

"See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

"Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

"Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten My word to perform it." (Jeremiah 1:9–12 KJV)

America's "Big Ben" Moment - Jon Hamill and Dutch Sheets - Jan 26, 2026

Introduction from Dutch Sheets:

God has certainly been speaking to leaders in the Church about increasing prayer for America and the nations. In today's post, my friend, John Hamill, shares a powerful strategy from Holy Spirit regarding this. And it involves, of all things, Big Ben; yes, the famous British clock! His title is "America's 'Big Ben' Moment."

America's "Big Ben" Moment
by Jon Hamill

Our nation stands at a historic crossroads. Here in Washington, D.C., my wife Jolene and I sense prophetically that in 2026 our nation is choosing which "spirit of America" will ultimately direct our future. Which spiritual influence will prevail? This is a vital question to answer, because only through the Spirit of the Lord will our liberties be preserved (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Many of our fellow Americans have embraced a steady decline into socialism, totalitarianism, and idolatry. However, millions are also praying and turning to the Lord. Recently the Lord showed us a strategy to add to this praying army and direct America's course towards freedom. The sheer simplicity took us by surprise.

We were visiting with our longtime friends Tom and Lynnie Harlow, when Lynnie suddenly asked us to pray about something. "I saw a vision of Big Ben," Lynnie recounted. "And I heard the phrase 'Big Ben Minute.' The Lord was saying we are now in a 'Big Ben moment' for America. We are at a tipping point, where we can go one way or another."

Lynnie and Tom went on to share that during World War II, a minute of nightly prayer helped shift the course of the war. We had never heard this story before.

Artificial Intelligence - Rick Joyner

       The spiritual gift of discernment is rare in the body of Christ, and it is one of the most important gifts that we need in these times. What has usurped the place of this gift is suspicion and human judgments often based on partial and/or one-sided information. The Holy Spirit’s gift of discernment is a supernatural gift that is not dependent on human knowledge or reasoning.

 
       A new emphasis and clarity are coming concerning all of the gifts of the Spirit. We need all of them, and those who seek them as Paul exhorted in 1 Corinthians will receive them. Then, we must mature in our understanding and use of these gifts. In these days when Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a chief pursuit, we need the intelligence of the Holy Spirit even more.  

       Regardless of how advanced AI gets, it will never compare to the knowledge, power, and authority of the Holy Spirit. Those who seek the Lord above all, who are filled and led by His Holy Spirit, will have His truth and wisdom if they maintain the humility to which He gives His grace. ...   READ MORE
