Humble Yourselves
Having exhorted humility toward others, Peter now exhorts humility toward God, especially in relation to the unpleasant circumstances in which the believers find themselves. They are to regard these circumstances as God’s sovereign will for them.
As a result, in their distress they are not to shake their fist at the heavens but are to humbly accept their suffering as God’s will, at least for the time being. When Christ returns, God will lift them from this humbled state to a position of honored exaltation.
In the meantime, if their suffering should tempt them to question God’s attitude toward them, they should remember that God cares for them, which should lead them to share their anxiety with God in prayer. They need to keep their heads, being mindful that their difficulties open them up to the devil’s wiles. He is like a ravenous lion who will devour them if he can, which echoes the description of the enemies of the suffering psalmist in Psalm 22:13.
The devil is the greatest enemy the faithful have. Indeed, instead of abandoning the faith because of their difficulties, they must stand firm and remember that they are not in this fight alone. They are part of a far-reaching family that knows these same kinds of trials.
Furthermore, these trials are not the end of the story, for one day God will fulfill the plans to which he originally called them. Then they will live out their lives in the eternal glory God has prepared for them. Since God is all-powerful, they can be sure that he will bring this great hope of theirs to pass.

Take Action Before It's Too Late! - Karen Hardin
March 13,2024
Both of today's articles show how the Chinese government is increasing its control over their population and any foreigners living there. Keep in mind, this is the direction the Left is trying to take the U.S. and all nations as well under a one world government. We know from scripture that it will eventually come, but it is NOT the Lord's will for it to happen before the Lord's return. If the Church keeps its head in the sand though and refuses to understand that we are the ones who allow wickedness to flourish in our land or we are the ones who can bring reformation, then we are condemning millions to hell.
Isaiah 56:1 NIV says "This is what the LORD says: 'Maintain justice and do what is right...'"

Response to Biden via IFA (Intercessors for America) following Biden’s SOTU Address - Carol Basset
Last night, you presented your assessment of the priorities for our nation. I would like to share my priorities with you.
But first, there may be one aspect of the state of the union that flies under the radar: I want you to know that people of faith like me are intentionally uniting to pray for leaders like you—for wisdom, for discernment, and for your colleagues.
Whether we agree or not on what America has always stood for, how America is doing, and what America needs, I want you to know that I make it a top priority to pray for you as you serve. Especially that your mind will be enlightened to Truth, not impaired by any medical condition nor influenced by the powerful group of influential people globally who have been pushing, now overtly, for our nation's demise.

The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis
CHAPTER VIII -- Of the danger of too much familiarity
Open not thine heart to every man, but deal with one who is wise and feareth God. Be seldom with the young and with strangers. Be not a flatterer of the rich; nor willingly seek the society of the great. Let thy company be the humble and the simple, the devout and the gentle, and let thy discourse be concerning things which edify. Be not familiar with any woman, but commend all good women alike unto God. Choose for thy companions God and His Angels only, and flee from the notice of men.
2. We must love all men, but not make close companions of all. It sometimes falleth out that one who is unknown to us is highly regarded through good report of him, whose actual person is nevertheless unpleasing to those who behold it. We sometimes think to please others by our intimacy, and forthwith displease them the more by the faultiness of character which they perceive in us.

Exposure in the Church
I had a dream (on March 5, 2024) that more exposure in elements of the Church NEEDS to happen. The shocking thing I knew was that the exposure we have seen so far among several denominations and streams of the Church has not yet uncovered someone that was revealed to me of whom I was not given a name or face... But who I saw was a type of "king pin" involved in heinous, immoral activity (including human/child trafficking within and through the 'church' system). Again, I didn't see a face or hear a name, but was made aware that there was someone like this. continue reading >>>

Prophetic word (February 19, 2024):
Praise, glory, and honor be to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who sits on the highest throne. The Lord of hosts is His name. His holiness encompasses the heavens; His words and judgments pierce the earth. The earth cries out to its Creator, and to His Kingdom there is no end.
The Departments of Justice and Law Shall Be Written Over
And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, "I AM GOD. THERE IS NO OTHER. I am not a [man] that I should lie, and the mockeries of men in this hour shall deliver unto them a shameful portion that they shall have to eat before the people.
"For the wicked – the Hamans, the Delilahs – have arisen and have attempted to lynch others in order to pay the money into the king's treasury for a great power and prestige. That money shall be a curse unto them!" says the Lord. "Woe unto them," says the Lord. "Woe unto them. For it would have been better that some were never born," says the Lord. "For the public gallows they have erected and the decrees they have attempted through pious judges and generals – and the Departments of Justice and Law – shall be written over in due season," says the Lord. "They shall be written over. They shall be overridden, overruled...
"FOR I AM THE HIGHEST JUDGE, AND THE JUDGES WHO TOOK CASES OF MONEY AND CONSUMED THE PROMISES OF SERPENTS SHALL AND WILL SUDDENLY FALL," SAYS THE LORD. "THEY SHALL FALL INTO THE BRIARS AND THORN BUSHES OF THEIR OWN MAKING. FOR THEY SELECT JUSTICE; THEY DO NOT CARRY IT OUT AS PUBLIC SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE.

How the Government Used ‘Track F’ to Fund Censorship Tools: Report
The National Science Foundation spent $39 million on Track F, a program related to censoring, suppressing Americans’ speech, says a new report.
Mark Tapscott
Officials from the National Science Foundation tried to conceal the spending of millions of taxpayer dollars on research and development for artificial intelligence tools used to censor political speech and influence the outcome of elections, according to a new congressional report.
The report looking into the National Science Foundation (NSF) is the latest addition to a growing body of evidence that critics claim shows federal officials—especially at the FBI and the CIA—are creating a “censorship-industrial complex” to monitor American public expression and suppress speech disfavored by the government.
“In the name of combatting alleged misinformation regarding COVID-19 and the 2020 election, NSF has been issuing multimillion-dollar grants to university and nonprofit research teams,” states the report by the House Judiciary Committee and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
“The purpose of these taxpayer-funded projects is to develop AI-powered censorship and propaganda tools that can be used by governments and Big Tech to shape public opinion by restricting certain viewpoints or promoting others.”
The report also described, based on previously unknown documents, elaborate efforts by NSF officials to cover up the true purposes of the research.
The efforts included tracking public criticism of the foundation’s work by conservative journalists and legal scholars.

"Vision of the Golden Key"
by Caleb Wampler
As I was praying the other morning, the Lord showed me something in a vision that I knew I had to share with you. Be encouraged today, for the Lord your God is with you!
The vision:
As I was waiting on the Lord, I saw an angel that had been sent from the throne room. He came bearing good news and holding a scroll in his hand. He opened the scroll, and instead of words written on the pages, there was a GOLDEN KEY inside.
The angel walked up to me as I was sitting in this room. I remained very still, awaiting the revelation that was coming. He then took the key, and instead of handing it to me or referencing a door that it would open, he did something completely different. The angel walked up to me, stood by my side, and then placed the key toward my head as if to unlock my mind. Instantly, it was as if chains fell off my mind. They were definitely chains, but wrapped around the chains were a number of slithering snakes that had interwoven themselves amongst the chain links.
As each chain and snake fell off, I saw my mind begin to glow with a gleaming and radiant shine. It was luminescent, and I knew, symbolically, that the glory of God was covering my mindset. Revelation began to flood my mind...
The angel then looked at me, smiled, shot up straight into the air, and departed out of view. I saw a newness of expectation and faith enter into my eyes. A confidence rose within my spirit, and suddenly it was as if everything fell into alignment as I looked ahead. (Photo via Pexels)

The Future Revealed
During an amazing visit to Heaven, the Lord showed me what was coming to the earth, and as the visitation unfolded, He also spoke to me about Donald Trump and those like him who have sacrificially served Him and their fellowman. Donald Trump will be publicly honored!
On February 18, 2024, the Holy Spirit directed me to prepare for my prayer time by going through my house and cleaning out any spirits that had gotten in. From previous encounters with the Lord, I was taught that spirits can come into our homes in many ways without our being aware of them. They can come through people who visit, television, and other electronics.
Following the Holy Spirit's instructions, I went throughout the entire house binding any demons that were present, putting them in chains, and sending them to the abyss. Then, I got my bottle of anointing oil and reconsecrated our home to Jesus. After removing anything that would distract or deter me from hearing the Lord, I sat before Him.
Immediately I heard, "Don't fear that you won't hear or see Us; We are here with you, and you are with Us always. Just look and see!"
Opening my spiritual eyes, I looked into the spirit realm and saw myself in the garden of glory sitting on the swing between Father and Jesus. To my great surprise and delight, I saw a group of happy animals surrounding us.
The tall, friendly giraffe came over and gave me a big lick; the gorilla welcomed me; all the cats and dogs greeted us, as did the gentle elephant. These were Father's and Jesus' friends, and today I knew they were mine too. They were excited that I came to visit with faith so I could see them.
The giraffe bent down close to the ground and invited Jesus and me to go for a ride. With great expectation, I climbed on his back and sat in front of Jesus. Speaking gently into my ear, Jesus explained, "Because your faith is allowing Us to reveal Ourselves to you today, We are well pleased. Come, let your spiritual eyes open wide and see what We want you to see and to reveal to Our children."
Leaving Father and the garden swing, we approached a vast herd of animals in the valley and on the hills about us. They were happy to see us, and with fond affection stood still as we walked by. Jesus commands that kind of attention in Heaven, even from the animals. Love poured off all of them: the zebras, hippos, monkeys, horses, kangaroos... A wonderful warmth filled my being as we walked by and received their affectionate greeting. continue >>>
Intro from Dutch Sheets: You would have to look long and hard to find anyone more passionate about seeing America revived and reformed than my brother, Tim Sheets. He seeks God diligently regarding what Holy Spirit is saying to the Church and what is necessary in order for these two things to occur. As you will see from this word, Tim is on fire.
The Call of the Ekklesia
Tim shares: "Current events must be defined using God's truth. Demonic visuals and messages must be forbidden and resisted. We must be a people who discern the times. Thomas Aquinas, a thirteenth-century Italian priest, philosopher, and theologian, made this statement, 'He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice, and if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.'(1)
"It's possible to be angry and sin not (Ephesians 4:26). Anger at injustice is righteous anger. It is not love to wink at injustice; it is love to resist it.
"We are in a spiritual and ideological war for this nation. Ours is a call to spiritual warfare, and it is a call to cultural battles. It is an ideological war against unrighteous government and societal tyranny. It's a call to speak truth to abusive, lying powers. The call of the Ekklesia is to arise and stand against evil. The weapons God gave us are mighty through Him to the pulling down of strongholds. We are called to partner with Him and stop corruption. It is time to cast off fear, apathy, indifference, laziness, and stand against injustice.
