Prayer is important

That God takes delight in me (Zeph. 3:17), is enthralled by my
beauty (Ps. 45:11), and loves me unconditionally (Jer. 31:3) are truths I am still learning to believe.

If past experiences hinder the new believers you know from accepting God’s unconditional love, direct and encourage them in the process of releasing those experiences to Him for redemption. Share Ps. 103:8-14 with them, verses 8-10 and 13 in particular: “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. . . . As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.”

Prayer is a language of humility.


Prayer is a new language, and it takes time to learn. Encourage young believers to keep it simple. It’s so easy for a novice to become overwhelmed or to be intimidated by the fluent prayers of others. Encourage new believers simply to listen and learn when veteran members of God’s family are praying. Reassure them that all prayers from the heart are acceptable to God. Remind them that God is patient, and He understands the learning curve!

Mt. 6:5, 7: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. . . . And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.”

a simple way to approach God in prayer: I’m sorry (confession and repentance), thank you (gratitude), and please (petition). Searching for and admitting where I am wrong opens the door for honest communication with God. Scripture tells me that if I miss this important step, the Lord will not hear me when I pray (Ps. 66:18). Repenting of sin wipes it away and brings refreshment from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19). Gratitude acknowledges the many blessings I have been given, through no effort of my own. Then I am ready to bring my requests for myself or others humbly to Him.

Prayer is a conversation.

While God does want to grant us the desires of our hearts, those desires should not be our primary motivation for prayer. Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” It delights God when we delight in Him by praising Him, thanking Him, seeking Him, and listening to Him. Receiving the desires of our heart is a by-product of the conversation.

Prayer is a habit.


I once read that it takes 28 days to develop a habit. If I want to nurture my relationship with God, I must develop the habit of spending time with Him—talking to Him, listening to Him, and making Him a priority in my life. Teach new Christians that although prayer can be done any time and anywhere, it’s important to reserve some quiet times for intimacy with God. Remind them how difficult it is to have a conversation with someone in a crowded room. Jesus often drew away from the others for prayer, especially when He needed alone time with His Father or when
He had an important decision to make (Lk. 6:12). He also taught about the importance of quiet times for prayer in Mt. 6:6: “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.”

…..praying “in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and
requests” (Eph. 6:18)

2021 redux

The Futility of Life

1There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men— 2a man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction. 3If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, “Better the miscarriage than he, 4for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity. 5“It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he. 6“Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not enjoy good things—do not all go to one place?”

      7All a man’s labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied. 8For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living? 9What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and a striving after wind.

      10Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is. 11For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man? 12For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

digital Kristallnacht, ccp style

On Jan. 8, 2020, the tech giants staged a digital Kristallnacht against 74 million Trump supporters, burning not subversive books and shops (as the Nazis did) but erasing internet content and companies opposed to left-wing ideology.

Steve Bannon had his show unplugged by YouTube. Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn have been suspended by Twitter, along with (according to Twitter itself) over 70,000 right-wing accounts for discussing “conspiracy theories.” Ron Paul was suspended from Facebook for complaining about big tech tyranny.

The real Deplorable s

The Democrats scorned the wall on our southern border, erected to bolster America’s sovereignty.  Now they have the gall to erect 12-foot walls around a swath of D.C. What do they fear?

The Democrats who scream “racist” when logical, honest citizens advocate for voter ID, are now demanding identification checks and documentation to enter the city for Inauguration. 

The Democrats, who falsely decried Trump’s lack of transparency, have induced hotel chains to cancel all reservations for dates surrounding the inauguration, and are drowning out opposing dialog.    

The Democrats, who falsely claimed Trump was a rabble-rousing propagandist, have ignited a war against all Trump supporters, elected and citizen.   

The Democrats, whose battle cry has been “defund the police,” now have twenty to twenty-five thousand National Guard forces protecting DC.  

The Democrats, who persecuted, spied on and lied about Trump for over four years  and chanted “not my  president,” have the audacity to want to expel  Cruz and Hawley from Congress and all Republicans who contested the electoral vote.

Update on the mess in 2021

Zoom call with General Paul Valley, General McKenney, and Carla Dean
, 01/07/21
Please excuse the typo’s spelling, and grammar in advance. I’m not a secretary, but want to get this typed up, and out to my contacts. If all of us will pass it onto our direct contacts, we can help people prepare.
Our prayer team had a last minute invite to a skype call with General Paul Valley, General McKenney, and Carla Dean. Both Generals are retired, but in direct contact with General Flynn. Flynn couldn’t make it, he’s with the President.
For starters What we’re all seeing played out before our eyes, is straight out of Alinsky’s Communist playbook. This has been China’s long game, since the late 60’s, early 70’s. A good book to read, for details is “Unrestricted Warfare,” by the Chinese. (Not sure the author).
1) It tells how first they will use Bio Weapons to collapse our economy.
2) Take over our ports, then use biological/nuclear warfare brought in on cargo ships.
3) Then invade.
There are other video links, they will be sending out, which I can forward.
You can also look up “The Perfect Storm”, an article on the “Center For Security Policy” web sight. I have not looked it up yet. This is what Obama and Biden put into place in this country. The Panama Canal now is all Chinese, we are no longer in control of it.
We did confirm the rumors of Chinese armies on our Canadian border. There are 75,000 Chinese military in Vancouver Canada, and thousands on our southern border. We’re not sure how many. They also spoke about “Club K”, which I will have to look up.
Just a heads up. I was writing as fast as I could, and didn’t understand all of it. The following are possible options President Trump may take. They have overwhelming proof of not only major voter fraud, but details on who and how our country has been sold out. This will affect many nations.
When Trump came out to speak after they “stormed the capital” in DC, he told everyone to “go home.” Apparently that can be considered as the first step of implementing the “Insurrection Act.” There are three steps President Trump possibly will need to take:
1) Habeas Corpus
2) Martial Law
3) Insurrection Act
There will be mass arrests, who will be tried for Treason by a military Tribunal. The arrests will be domestic, Congress and Senate. International, China, Italy, and seven other countries are involved. Whatever he does, has to be done in the next 12 days. The President has purposely waited as long as possible, for more people to show their hand, i.e. Lindsy Graham, McConnel, and VP Pence. It was Palosi, McConnel, and Pence who set up the riots yesterday. A lot more went on, than the media reported. It was Antifa that “stormed the capital.” “Made for television, so they could blame it on Trump supporters, who were all peaceful, and a lot doing prayer walks.
Trump has had a lot of internal turn coats. He has General Flynn, and a very tight internal circle of proven people he is now trusting, and planning with. When he gave his speech today he said “there will be a new administration,” he never used the word Biden. More than likely that will be President Trump and a new VP. The Supreme Court, DOJ, and FBI will be set aside, and the military tribunals will try the people, under the Secretary of Defence. Because McConnel and Pence are aware of all the forign interference, they are guilty of treason.
We are in a Civil War, and are in a hostile takeover. Apparently, for a lot of good reason’s Trump doesn’t want to call it a Civil War, but we are in a Civil War. The plan, from a military point of view will be to look at the threat, then neutralize it. One possibility for how they may get this information out to all the American people, could be a satellite dump of the massive evidence they do have. That’s just one possibility discussed. If you saw Trump’s last speech, it’s the first time he has spoken from behind bulletproof glass.
President Trump would be able to use the emergency broadcasting system, to get information out to all the people. Some will have to be leaked, to try and prepare the public a little. Right now, the military is the only intelligence Trump can trust. The element of surprise will also be important in this. Most Americans, when they really see what Biden has done, would not want him as our president.
Apparently food suppliers are largely controlled by forign/Chinese nationalists. China has been buying up a lot of our farm land.
They recommend at the very least we should have:
1) Six months of food and water.
2) A way to protect yourself.
Whatever happens is expected to happen in the next 12 days.
Georgia, and Pennsylvania both may have their proof through the courts by then, but not a sure thing. If they both had their cases heard, that would give Trump the 270 needed electoral votes. President Trump won in a landslide. I believe I sent all of you the video about the affidavit in Italy, from the person who changed the votes from Trump, to Biden.
Of our Cargo containers coming in from all over the world, only !% are searched. The Co. who does that is “Hutchison”, which is a Chinese Co.
It is important that each of us share this information with as many people as possible. Even if each of us only share with five people and ask those people to do the same, it will help to get this information out to the public. We may have one more of these calls. I will try to let you know if I hear about it soon enough.
Prayer, wisdom, and being prepared are all important.

Italygate

The theft of the election was orchestrated in the Rome embassy by an employee Stefano Serafini, foreign service officer of over 20 years. He retired the day before the election to ensure he would not lose his pension unlike what happened to some of the FBI agents who betrayed our country in 2016 and did lose their pension just days before their retirement. Stefan Serafini coordinated with a general Claudio Graziano, who is on the board of Leonardo SPA (an Italian aerospace defense contractor). Leonardo used their military satellite uplink to load the software and transfer it over to change the votes from Trump to Biden. The plan was orchestrated by Barack Obama with the help of Matteo Renzi, the former prime minister of Italy. The Italian intelligence service supplied intercepts, photos, phone calls, and (shockingly) pictures of the CIA agents who have been involved in orchestrating this. Italy did it.
