3 Day Purim Fast: Mar. 1 - 3, 2021

Dr. Robert Mawire has called for 3 days of fasting and prayer, following in the footsteps of Queen Esther, Feast of Purim, Book of Esther 9:1-3.

Dr. Mawire didn't say exactly when we should fast, nor how.  Searching historical Biblical event on Nick Vanderlaan's Official Enoch Calendar, I found only "Fake Purim"; not sure what that means.

In Esther 4:16, Queen Esther called for a total fast (no food, no drink) and continuous prayer for 3 days by all Jews to prepare and purify them for the strongest possible prayers to God, and to support the Queen.  Queen Esther planned to barge in, and interrupt the King without prior invitation, for which she would be instantly killed by Court guards unless the King instantly granted her mercy.  She planned to interrupt the King, to seek his mercy and support for all Jews scheduled for execution.  Queen Esther chose to put herself at risk so as to save her people from evil genocide.

Not knowing sufficient details to join this call for fasting & prayer, I needed more info.  The Book of Esther is short, so I started reading it at the beginning, to refresh my memory and collect the specific calendar dates mentioned in the Bible (See Verses:   2:16, 3:7, 3:12, 3:13, 4:11, 4:16, 5:1, 5:8, 7:2, 8:1, 8:9-13, 8:12, 9:1-3, 9:15, 9:18, 9:19, and 9:21).

Of these, the 13th day of the 12th month (Adar), in 473 BC was the day Queen Esther exposed her true identity as a Jew, hoping that if she finds favor with the King, he would save her people from the genocide planned against all Jews in Mede-Persia.

Queen Esther was successful, and Mordecai, Queen Esther's adopted father, was then made Vice Regent, and the Festival of Purim for the 13, 14, and 15th of the 12th month (Adar) was established for all future ages. This corresponded to March 7th, 473 BC.

Translating the ancient Biblical dates via the Enoch calendar says the anniversary of the Purim Festival is Mar. 1, 2, and 3rd, 2021.  The orthodox Jewish calendar says Purim was Feb. 25, 26, 2021.

Dr. Mawire's video https://youtu.be/sHXR9T2OEOk was only posted 6 hours ago, thus the reason for the last minute announcement here. 

 

Totally linked with Purim is the behind the scenes actions and presence of God.  Not once is God mentioned in the Book of Esther.  Yet God says repeatedly elsewhere in the Bible that He will never abandon us, that He is always with us.  This up front lack of God in the Book of Esther raised serious questions about whether it should be included in the Bible, or left out as something that was not writings inspired by God.

In Esther, God wanted humans to act as His prime mover.  As usual, we are the tool in God's hand through which things are physically accomplished for God.

In the time of Queen Esther, the Medo-Persian Empire was the ruler of the world, in size, power, wealth, knowledge, etc. Medo-Persia stretched from India, to Russia, throughout the Middle East, and Africa.

All of a sudden, that powerful kingdom takes a sharp turn against God's chosen people, the Jews, with the plan of a genocide, to kill every Jew in the kingdom.

As Mordicai said, if Queen Esther refuses to stand up to protect her people, then God will ensure His people will be protected through some other way from this great evil.  In other words, the hidden hand of God will prevail.

Today,  the most powerful nation is, no doubt, the USA.  With Trump out, and Biden in, that powerful nation has been making a very abrupt change in direction.  

For a review on the first 6 weeks of the Biden administration and the rising wall against God and His Word, see the following video:  https://youtu.be/9H6AfZFdiD8 

There is now a growing evil against Christians (both in the laws and customs of today), and this evil will likely quickly spread throughout the world.

This evil will be directed especially against Christians (ie. Cancel Culture, no church service allowed, forced association with LGBTQ+ activists, Equality Act, the Bible and preaching of the Gospel deemed to be illegal hate speech, Christians are deemed to be domestic terrorists, etc.).

This is a time for all true Christians to stand and be counted, and to speak out against the rising evil, showing your solidarity with God, His Commandments, and His true Word in the Holy Bible.

With the Israeli election coming up again for the 4th time on March 23, 2021 and Biden's US Administration abandoning Israel to its own devices and in favor of the Two State Solution (ie. dividing up Israel to give the Palestinians their own country, contrary to the Bible), and Iran ready to attack Israel;   the Middle East is primed, and ready, to explode.

Stand and be counted, True Christians!

Psalm 83 War and the rise of the AntiChrist are more likely than ever.

By doing this fast, and praying continuously, Dr. Mawire says that you are asking for God's anointing in preparation for being appointed by God as one of His Overcomer during End Times.  

Dr. Mawire also suggests writing your own Royal Decree under the authority and power of King Jesus Christ for all that you declare, want, and need (health, wisdom, resources, protection, etc.).  Rather than greed, I suggest you start with a list of what God would want you to have, and what you truly need, rather than what you covet and desire.

From here, we will be doing the full 3 day fast, and praying continuously. We will also be doing street preaching and public marching to show Christianity is not running away from, nor hiding in fear of the rising evil.

It is interesting that today, Jews have adopted the custom of gorging themselves with both food and drink during Purim, and most say that it is required to get drunk during Purim, which is a clear and obvious sin under God's Commandments.  Can the contrast between God and His Word be any more obviously different from the Satanic corruption within Rabbinical Jeudaism of today?

All the other fasts I have previously done were no food, but with unlimited water allowed.  With neither food nor water for 3 days on this Purim Fast, I'm not sure how I will make out.  Thank God I don't live in the Sahara desert, and it's not summer.  However, I know that God will see me through, and keep me safe, for I have faith in Him.

If you can come join us, the fast begins tomorrow Mar. 1st, 2021 at sunrise (7:07 AM my local time).

Please leave a comment below if you can come join us on this fast and prayer vigil.

*** Update 1:   2021-03-04   ***

Royal Degree for Purim 2021

According to Esther 9:18 of Your Holy Word in the King James Bible 1760 Edition, Purim is on the 13th, 14th, and 15th day of the 12th month (Adar), which according to the Official Enoch Calendar is from March 1 to 3, 2021.

Having prepared ourselves by physically cleansing our bodies with soap and water, and having done a total fast (neither food nor drink) for the last three full days; and having prayed for your strength and guidance to  make this Royal Decree for Purim 2021, we hereby pray to God the Father, and to Jesus Christ His Begotten Son, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all other things that have been created, and to the Holy Spirit; as follows:

[Mat 6:9-13 KJV] "…Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."

Thank-you God for our lives, and Your world in which we live.  Thank-you for all the blessings that You have bestowed upon us in our physical bodies, our mental faculties, and our spiritual strength.  

Thank-you for the constant nurturing that we have received throughout our years to help us grow physically, mentally, and spiritually through Your Holy Spirit, our family, friends, community, our nation, and the natural environment.  

Thank-you for the opportunities, trials, tribulations, free will, and Your patience that have shaped us to what we are today.  

Thank-you for Your Word in the Holy Bible to help ground us, and guide us, and teach us Your Will, and Your Way, and our role to be fulfilled in Your creation.
 

We confess and regret that we have not always taken advantage of your opportunities and gifts to the fullest, and have improperly used our free will for sin, transgressions, iniquities, and blasphemies against You, God; and done wrongful transgressions against Your creation, and other persons; in our thoughts, words, deeds, and inactions.
 

God, we ask for Your forgiveness of all our sins, transgressions, iniquities, and blasphemies.  We pray for Your cleansing of our bodies, minds, souls, and spirits so that we are adequately prepared for this Royal Decree for Purim 2021, and to fulfill our roll and duties under Your Will during End Times.
 

God, we pray for Your anointing of us with Your Holy Spirit, to fill us up to overflowing so as to perfect our lives and prepare us for participation in Your End Times; that like John the Baptist who prepared the way for your First Coming, we may help prepare the way for Your Second Coming.
 

We humbly ask and pray for You to heal and otherwise prepare our bodies, minds, souls, and spirits so that we have the strength, capacity, knowledge, and will to perform Your Will under all the conditions that we must endure.
 

We ask and pray that all of Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada where we live will be cleansed of all evil, and that Satan and all of his evil fallen angels, demons, spirits, and supporters must immediately depart from this territory, and are hereby banned from re-entry forever, and from influencing or affecting this territory and all people and things located within this territory; and that this territory is hereby reclaimed in Your Holy Name as Your sanctuary for the remnant of Your people.
 

Through the power of Your Holy Name and Your blood sacrifice, we ask and pray for us to be anointed and given by You the power and authority to do Your Will through all of the following:

1.    Discern Your Word, and Your Will so that we may properly fulfill our duties to You;

2.    Discern the good or evil intentions and spirits that are present or affecting all people, things, situations, times, or places;

3.    Withstand the fiery darts and other attacks of Satan and his demons and evil spirits;

4.    Discern, prevent, neutralize, and mitigate all evil plans, actions, and inactions; and repair any damage created by all evil plans and forces that are contrary to Your Will;

5.    Drive out Satan, his demons and evil spirits from all other persons, animals, plants, lands, waters, airs, and things of Your creation;

6.    Shine forth as Your guiding light for all others;

7.    Preach Your Gospel in an effective and sufficient manner to all creatures;

8.    Heal the sick, in and through Your Holy Will and Your Holy Name;

9.    Receive all other knowledge, powers, authority, and skills that You, God wish to grant to us, and bless us with, in Your Holy Will.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Our Saviour and Redeemer, we hereby pray for all of these blessings, gifts, and grace to be bestowed upon us right now.

Amen

Woke Green & Rainbow Peas in a Pod

Can Australia act like a time machine, to see Canada & USA's future under President Biden & Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau? 

 Daniel Andrews is a Roman Catholic Premier of the State Victoria (with capital city of Melbourne), in Australia.  He is as progressive & woke as politicians can be. 

Joe Biden is also a Roman Catholic, and strongly supports the Pope, Jesuits, and their humanist, far left agenda.

Trudeau is a weird, 100% woke, feminist, and far left. He welcomes China, Globalists, Great Financial Reset, & One World Government. 

Rainbow flavored, green peas in the same pod.

Look & listen how quickly Australia is moving to the progressive, woke left extreme. 

 Like it or not, USA has Biden for next 4 years, and we have Trudeau for another 2 years in Canada.

By the way, Macron in France and many other European leaders are cut from the same cloth.

If Australia and Premier Andrews is not your cup of tea, you had better wake up, smell the coffee, and decide how you are going to retreat, hide, or defend you and your family from what likely soon comes.

Let the Great Tribulation Begin!

 In my previous posting, I had proposed Feb. 10, 2021 as a possible transition point.  When it came, and passed by seemingly uneventful, I sighed, and wondered if my next alternative of May 14, 2021 would be the major event in the world that upsets the apple cart, and starts the Great Tribulation.

It's called the "Great Tribulation", not because it's fantastic, but because its devastation will be huge.

Today, I and many others, read Julie's latest Blog posting.  Julie received the message on Feb. 10th (mere coincidence?), and posted it today.  Julie said we have crossed over, a sea change, a tipping point has been passed on or about Feb. 10th.

It is such an important message, I am staying up late so as to immediately get it posted here, not a moment to lose.

https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-beast-rises-but-i-am-your-breath-of.html

I was shocked and amazed at the power, specifics, and tender touch in this message.  Jesus spoke personally and specifically to each major class of people in this wicked world; both the saved and the lost, so that they would receive specific instructions at this critical moment.

Jesus has a personal message for:

• Friends of the Groom, Jesus Christ;
  
• The Crowned Jewels of Jesus (good & faithful servants of God);
  
• The desperate and those seeking answer to the meaning of life;
  
• The lonely, and those who suffered great losses of those they loved;
• The angry, bitter, haters who lash out at this world;
• Those with great sorrow grief, & sadness;
• Those who have been betrayed, tricked, and manipulated;
• You who are outcasts and rejects of this world;
• The victims who have been attacked and oppressed;
• Those who have been stalked, spied upon, and persecuted;
• The faithful True Christians who have withstood the scorn & ridicule of all others;
• Those who are sick, diseased, old, or handicapped;
• Those who are immature, deceived, naive, or starved from truth;
• People who are shamed, ashamed, or humiliated by their family, friends, or the public;
• Weak, weary, and empty ones who have little more stamina.

I cannot think of any group or person (except Satan and his followers) who was left out of this all-inclusive message.

President Biden has shunned Israel, and caters to the Palestinians.  Iran recently produced the first uranium metal from its nuclear fuel concentrating centrifuges, enabling them to soon construct a nuclear bomb, likely destined for use against Israel.  Israel is planning to divide their territory via a Two-State Solution; land that belongs to God, and that God has given specific instructions is not to be divided nor given away.  A sudden weakening of the USA will leave Israel unprotected, and open to sudden attack by vengeful forces who have been patiently awaiting a safe opportunity to attack Israel.  Israel has been badly hit by COVID, and is therefore an easier, weakened target.

All of these and many more say that now is the time for Psalm 83 War to begin.  This will be a brutal, highly destructive war on both sides, but it will eventually destroy all of Israel's enemies.  Thereafter,  Israel will be able to live in pseudo peace, under the manipulative, cunning protection of the AntiChrist.  Next, there will be a great Exodus of Jews from all over the world, coming to live in peace and security in Israel for the 3.5 year honeymoon period.

Likely thousands to billions of people will lose their lives in the events described in the previous two paragraphs.  If you die in your unrepented sins, you will wake up at your trial before God on His Great White Throne, then you will be found guilty of your unrepented sins, and immediately thrown into the Lake of Fire for an eternity of torment, weeping, gnashing of teeth, and no rest.

In the alternative, wake up, confess & repent your sins before it's too late.  No time like this very moment to confess your sins.

Here are the detailed instruction to save yourself from an eternity in Hell:

https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/gods-26-commandments-for-christians.html

Ready or not, here comes God

Are you ready for what soon comes?

Judgement is at hand.  Beware, all those who deny God and His Commandments.

Pastor Perry Stone recently shared that President Biden's name, when translated by Hebrew Gematria, becomes "Alas, Judgement" (see  https://youtu.be/A-t3nG8uqzI ).

Whether or not you're American, the USA has a huge impact on the world (militarily, financially, socially, etc.).  If the USA goes down under God's Judgement, the evil ooze will soon rise to take their place.  The USA is no saint, but Satan and the soon rise of the AntiChrist will be far worse than what the Atheists, Satinists, neocons, Globalists, Illuminati, Jesuits, terrorists, Communists, and all the billionaires ever dreamed of doing.

Both Julie (see https://iamcallingyounow.blogspot.com/2021/02/we-are-ready-yahushua-prayer-of.html?m=1 ), and Erin (see http://sparrowcloud9.com/heaven-dreams-interpretations/the-tribulation/excerpt-from-dreams-questions-answered/full-dreams/dream-475/ ) seem to have reached a crescendo, a peak, are past the point of no return.  I am 80% convinced that both these ladies are likely true prophets of God, so like a good Berean, I carefully study what they say, and compare it to God's Word in the King James Bible.

Dr. Robert Mawire agrees with Julie and Erin, that we are in a crisis time, with the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ occurring very soon (see https://youtu.be/CMFqzUmKuEg beginning 9:20 timestamp after intro song).  I am 95% convinced that Dr. Mawire is a true prophet of God, based on his long, verifiable track history.

1st Alternative Date for God's Judgement End Times

According to the Enoch Calendar of Nick Vanderlaan (see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1y1oQa3auMQ2nOzD5INXuO6GYdMSIrdWTh26xIDLcLro/htmlview ), Feb. 10, 2021 is the anniversary date for Zechariah 1:7 seeing the Red Rider hidden in the myrtle trees.  Red Rider likely means war, and both Middle East and South East China Seas seem primed and ready to explode.  In the USA, it too seems ready to explode domestically.

2nd Alternative

If Feb. 10, 2021 isn't the start, it likely will be on or before May 14, 2021 for this is the 74 year of Israel since its formation on May 14, 1948 (plus 70 year for the End Times generation, or 80 years if by strength but with labor and sorrow according to Psalm 90:10, Mat 24:34, Mark 13:30, and Luke 21:32), so this has a hard ending on May 14, 2028.  Subtracting 7 years for Jacob's Trouble according to Daniel 9:24-27, we have the start of Jacob's Trouble on or about May 14, 2021.

3rd. Alternative

Alternatively, if Israel gets just 70 years per Psalm 90:10, that deadline was May 14, 2018 but nothing obvious seems to have happened then. 

However, in Luke 13:6-9 Jesus tells us the parable of the unproductive fig tree.  The owner tells the gardener to chop it down and burn it, for it hasn't produced any fruit for 2 years.  The gardener pleads for the opportunity to dig round it, fertilize and water the soil for another year, and if it still hasn't produced, then yes, alas the tree is to be uprooted and destroyed. 

Adding those 3 probationary years to May 14, 2018 we get May 14, 2021 as the same hard deadline.

4th Alternative

A fourth alternative is described by a stone plaque on the wall in Jerusalem commemorating June 29, 1536 when Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent finished repairing the streets, walls, and water supply for Jerusalem Israel Presumably Suleiman's decree was the year previous, likely 1535 AD.  Daniel 9:25 says that 69 weeks after the command to rebuild the walls will be End Times.  1535 + (69 x7)= 2018 AD.  Again, adding the 3 probationary fig tree years of the unproductive fig tree, we get 2021 AD.

Reliable Prophecy?

Should you believe in the Bible and Daniel's prophecies?  Daniel 12:11 says there are 1,290 days (ie. prophetic years) between the time when sacrifices are taken away until the abomination that makes desolate is set up.  Dome of the Rock, a mosque to the false god Allah, was built on Temple Mount by the Muslim's Umayyad Caliphate, starting in 685 AD and finishing initial construction in 691 AD.  The original Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem's Temple Mount was likely destroyed in 586 BC.  For 1,290 prophetic years = 360 days x 1290= 464,400 days.  464,400/(365.25 days per solar year)= 1,271.46 solar years.  To clarify how to count years between BC and AD, after Year 1 BC happened, the next year was 1 AD, with no Year 0 between 1 BC and 1 AD.  Therefore from 586 BC to 1 BC is 585 years, then its 586 years to get to 1 AD, then to get to the 1271.46 years total, we have to go another 685.46 years after 1 AD.  In summary 586 BC + 1271.46 years= 685 AD which is the year Dome of the Rock started construction.  This should help convince you that God's prophecies in the Book of Daniel are real, and accurate.

5th Alternative

For the 5th alternative, Daniel 12:12 says that blessed are those that waiteth, and cometh to to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.  We aren't given great clarity of the start or ending events for this prophecy, just a period of 1,335 days.  If these days are interpreted as years, and is a continuation from the previous verse (Daniel 12:11), we have 691 AD + 1335 years= 2026 AD as the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ.  Subtracting the 7 years for Jacob's Troubles, we have 2026-7= 2019 AD.  Adding 3 years for the unproductive fig, we get 2022 AD for the start of Jacob's Trouble. 

Depending on when in 691 AD the construction was completed, it may have still been 690 AD on the Hebrew calendar, as their year starts on or about Mar 20th, rather than Jan 1st as for the Gregorian calendar.  Therefore this may be 690 AD or 691 AD, it's hard to know.  If its 690 AD, then this Alternative aligns with all the others, on 2021 AD.

Conclusion:   Start Date for God's Judgement & End Times

Therefore there are significant reasons for considering Feb. 10, 2021 to May 14, 2021 to be a time of high alert for all Watchmen. 

If none of these alternatives pan out, like good and loyal servant of God, and as one of His Watchmen, we will continue to pray continuously, fast, preach the Gospel to all creatures, look up, and wait.  God knows what He's doing, God has His plan, and is working His plan, we trust in God, so we continue to wait and watch.

I'm sure every parent had great anticipation on when their child would finally be born, and what would be the ultimate outcome; both fear and love and impatience and excitement.  The End Times process is no different.  Many fits & starts, and false alarms, but eventually there will be deliverance.

Time will tell.

Get God's Protection NOW!

Psalm 91 and elsewhere in the Bible, God explains that He is trustworthy, always with His people,and will protect them.

Unfortunately, Satan (and many Pastors deceived to spread the false propaganda of Satan) have convinced millions of lukewarm Christians and pagans who worship false gods that they too will benefit and be protected by God.

For example, if someone buys a watch from a guy in a dark alley, believing it's a solid gold Rolex Oyster with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, and you only paid $50.00 for a watch that normally sells for more than $10,000.00 in a legitimate store, does this person realize they have been deceived?  When the watch stops working 3 days after purchase, can they understand that Rolex and their legitimate dealers will not honour their fake warranty documents they received in the dark alley?  Do they realize they have lost their $50.00 and the watch will likely never work again?  They have been scammed!

I estimate that 95% of so-called Christians have been scammed by Pastors tickling their ears, telling the deceived what they wanted to hear.  I know, for I was  one of them for over 55 years.  This includes, but is not limited to Muslims, Roman Catholics, Mormons, SDA, Jehovah Witnesses, Christian Science, evangelicals, charismatics, Calvinists, Methodists, Mega Churches, etc.

Fortunately for my wife and I, 5 years ago our 97 year old church was closed, and we were tossed our into the snow, so we stayed home and read our Bible, cover to cover.  We soon noticed a growing discrepancy between what we read, and what we had been previously told for the previous 55 years.

In Feb. 2017 we suddenly woke up, and realized we had been deceived for a LONG TIME.  We realized we were at great spiritual risk.  We fixed our spiritual problem by believing only God and His Bible, nothing else, and getting baptized and becoming Born Again.

How to become Born Again

I suggest you should wake up before it's too late.  The necessary steps are as follows:

a) Fear God;

b) Know God;

c) Love God;

d) Admit you are a sinner;

e) Admit you hold anger, or resentment, or vengeance towards those who have previously mistreated you;

f) Confess directly to God your sins, iniquities, & blasphemies;

g) Forgive all who trespassed against you;

h) Ask for God's forgiveness;

i) Ask God to cleanse you from your past sins;

j) Ask for God's anointing through the Holy Spirit to come into your life, to give you a new heart, mind, and improved soul, dedicating your life to Jesus Christ.

k) Get baptized in the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit to be Born Again in Jesus Christ.


If you follow those steps, God promises to receive you as His adopted child of God

God does not listen to the prayers of sinners. It's like broadcasting on AM, while God is listening on FM; it's not going to get heard.

Lights Out!

I suggest everybody should pay very close attention to the following link for Overcomers' Prayer. 

We all must decide if we want to be a True Christian ---> Overcomer,

 or

 Lukewarm Christian ---> martyr for Christ via beheading,

 or 

be a reprobate deceived mind that worships sin, and is doomed to an eternity in Hell.

 Zech 1:7 speaks of the red rider (ie. War!) standing hidden in the myrtle trees. Feb. 10th is the anniversary date for this End Times prophecy; meaning a huge disaster in N. America, and the beginning of Psalm 83 war in Middle East. 

 If not as soon as Feb. 10th 2021 then Ezek 37 prophecy was fulfilled on May 14, 1948 with formation of State of Israel, setting the stage for God's End Times.

 The 70 year generation clock of Psalm 90:10 then begins ticking, and ends on May 14, 2018, then up to an extra 10 years if they have strength yet mixed with labour & sorrow, then fly away on or before May 14, 2028.

 In Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30; and Luke 21:32, Jesus said this generation will not pass before all End Times events have occurred, including His 2nd Coming. 

 Daniel 9:24-27 says that Jacob's Trouble, 1 week (ie. of years, or 7 years) must yet occur. Subtracting this 7 years from our hard end date of May 14, 2028 we find that God's End Time process must begin on or before May 14, 2021. Therefore God's End Times could begin as early as May 14, 2018 but no later than May 14, 2021. 

Luke 13:6-9 by the parable of the non-productive fig tree, adds up to an additional 3 years from May 14, 2018 (ending May 14, 2021) to bear fruit for God, and leave their backsliding and adultery behind, or God will dig them up & destroy them as eternally hopeless. 

Therefore from Feb. 10 2021 until on or before May 14, 2021 is likely the decision deadline for everyone to come (or come back) to Jesus and end their chronic iniquity (if any).

I don't know how I'd react being guillotined, as I'd be afraid of losing it.

Therefore I fasted for 14 days, water only, ending last week, praying continuously, asking God to accept me as an Overcomer, so that I get sealed (like the 144,000), do great exploits, and avoid the million man rush to the guillotine.

If I don't make the grade as Overcomer, I guess I'll be repeating Eccles 12:13  (my favorite verse) as the guillotine blade drops:

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

What's your favorite verse you'll be reciting?  Put it in the comments below.

Prayer to be an Overcomer:

Honorable, Righteous, Trustworthy People

We are in a crazy, mixed up, upside down world, and AntiChrist hasn't even risen yet (but soon will).

To help you stabilize your life (&/or somebody you know), here is something I wrote as a Saturday Sabbath sermon at King James Bible Church, Manitoulin.

Honorable, Righteous, Trustworthy People

Honorable, Righteous, Trustworthy People ("HRTP") obey all of God's Commandments. 

HRTP's treat others as kindly and lovingly as themselves.

HRTP's are trustworthy (ie. take the benevolent best interest in the other people before they act in their own self interest; ensures open & honest communication occurs; have predictable behaviors; and are competent in what they say & do). 

HRTP's realize that those 4 factors of trustworthiness slowly build trust inside families, between friends & neighbours, between employees and employers, and all other relationships. 

HRTP's realize that loss of one or more of those 4 factors of trust will instantly destroy trust. Trust builds slowly, and is destroyed instantly. 

HRTP's fellowship and teamwork with other HRTP's.

HRTP's keep a safe distance away from those who are not HRTP's, and approach only under safe, controlled conditions (so as to not be negatively effected by their dysfunctional behaviours).

HRTP's plan their life in advance. 

HRTP's meet their commitments already made, and will reasonably and prudently make new commitments with themselves & others.

HRTP's will pay off old debts (if any) as quickly as possible, be content to live within their current means and income, and plan their life so as to avoid debt. 

HRTP's realize that moving something from one place to another, or from one time to another, takes extra work. 

HRTP's realize that loans solve no problems, often make current problems bigger (ie. Interest), and only moves the debt problem to the future. 

HRTP's realize that like a snowplow pushing snow, someone can only push it so far as the pile of snow gets bigger & bigger, until they can no longer push this huge pile they have created. Unlike a snowplow that can back up, debtors are chained to their huge pile of debt they have created, and cannot escape.

Trump, the Scapegoat, & God

The enemy of God has attempted to make Trump into the scapegoat, and will continue to do so, more & more.  

God knows the truth.

The enemy's evil fruit will soon be fully ripe, ready for God's harvest.  

Stay on God's path (or get on God's path ASAP), stay in His Word, help the weaker ones among you to keep the faith.  

God's Will, not your will.  God's perfect timing, not your timing.

Prior to posting the above message in this Blog, I sent it out to 8 local friends via email.  So far, I have heard back from 3 of them.

The responses I have received so far are as follows:

Friend 1:  "Words fail, [...].  Please remove me from your email list."

Friend 2:  "[...] unless future emails relate to [our local men's group] activities I would also ask to be excluded from your email list."

Friend 3:   "I see your bungee cord has finally snapped. Before you hit the bottom please take me off your email list. "

Did my email upset them because:  

   a) it mentioned Trump;   

   b) it mentioned God;

   c) it mentioned both Trump & God in the same paragraph; 

 or d) some other reason?

Many people feel the discussion of politics &/or religion with family & friends are tabboo, forbidden topics.

While I have deleted them from my list of email addresses (ie.  done as they have asked), I find this to be an interesting study in human nature.

Let's do a mind experiment.  Instead of the above message on God and Trump, what if I had sent out an email saying:

" I have been contacted by a Nigerian Prince via email.   I am liquidating my life savings to send to the Nigerian Prince so as to invest in his royal gold mine."

If you had received this email from a good friend, how would you have responded?

If I had received this email from a friend, the hairs on the back of my neck would be standing up as soon as I read "Nigerian Prince".  I would have stopped reading, and started dialing my friend as soon as I read "liquidating my life savings to send to the Nigerian Prince".

To me friendship is built on trust.  Trust depends on 4 factors, which create, build, & protect trust, or destroy trust if one or more of those factors are missing.  One of those factors for trust is:

Open & honest communication

Everybody is entitled to their personal beliefs, and to choose for themselves how they will run their life within the constraints of the laws of God and man.

However in my view, family & friends are supposed to watch out for each other, protect each other, help each other.

For Christians, this also applies to helping & protecting neighbours, widows, orphans, and all who can't readily defend themselves.  When the crowd asked Jesus exactly who is my neighbour, Jesus replied with the parable of the Good Samaritin (Luke 10:25-37), teaching us that neighbours include all humans, even when there is cultural differences and animosity between different groups.  When somebody is laying in a ditch, bleeding to death, this is no time for bigotry, favoritism, arrogance, or distain (see https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2019/12/christian-charity-at-christmas.html for more info on the extremes to which the Good Samaratin went to help a total stranger).

Instead of warning a friend about the impending disaster of fraud by a so-called Nigerian Prince, could some recipients of the email have ignored it (ie. made no response) with callous disregard for their "friend"?

Would it have been OK for a "friend" to have supported and encouraged the fraud, as vengence for some ancient slight, rationalizing that if the "friend" is so naive or stupid, he deserves what he gets, as in "a fool and his money are soon parted" (similar to Proverbs 25:20)?

If the "friend" is left scratching his head, unsure what to make of the email, or why it was sent, or the full meaning of the communication, what should a true friend do?  I suggest a true friends asks for clarification.  I suggest they say "I understand X and Y, but is there more here than that?

I suggest a true friend cares about what their friends care about, and learn vicariously through their friends.  For example, I have no natural interest in professional sports, but I try to listen as my friends discuss the details, amazed at their in-depth knowledge on the smallest details, as I slowly learn from them.  What kind of "friend" refuses to have sports discussed in their presence, especially when they know their buddy derives so much enjoyment from it?

Do true friends censor each other?

I believe there are some limits.  If someone discusses a proposed crime, the listener becomes a conspirator to that crime before the fact,  even if the crime is committed in a different manner than originally discussed.

Equally bad and unacceptable is sin, iniquity, or blasphamy.  Discussions of these beyond education or reinforcement against them is either sinful, or a waste of precious time that would be better spent on productive efforts.  Time wasters are the worthless stubble or tares that will be burned up with nothing to show for your mal-investment.

Beyond these limits, I believe in free speech.

Have I missed something?  Are there other limits you impose on family &/or friends?  Please add your thoughts in the comments below.
