Watchman: The World Economic Forum and Bill Gates Are Preparing to Introduce “Disease X,” Which Will Have “20X More Fatalities” Than COVID-19. All Around the Globe,Its All Pr-Planned,Tribulation in Play

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2024

HNewsWire: Next week, the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) will begin in Davos, Switzerland, and the agenda is jam-packed with the usual suspects. Our would-be world rulers are planning to have a blast once again, enslaving us all in the name of some “greater good.” There will never be another program like 2024. The event will feature presentations on AI by Albert Bourla of Pfizer and Sam Altman of Open AI. They will witness Bill “Killem” Gates, who advocates for depopulation, promoting climate fraud. The “energy transition” will be the topic of John Kerry’s four stage appearances. Also, we will see Klaus Schwab’s one-on-one meeting with the second-highest-ranking official in the Chinese government. However, “Preparing for Disease X” stands out among the other panels. This is a very unsettling and extremely mysterious subject. “In light of recent…

Watchman Update: You Will Be Betrayed Even by Your Parents, Brothers, Relatives, and Friends, and They Will Put Some of You to Death. All Men Will Hate You Because of Me. (Words of Jesus Recorded in Luke 21:16–17)

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2024

Jesus made a clear distinction between those who were his “disciples” and those who were religious but did not know God, as evidenced in the Gospel of John in Chapter 8, and he had harsh words for those who were religious but did not know God.            To the “disciples”: To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32) To the unbelieving Jews: You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar…

THE ‘HOW TO’ AND ‘HOW NOT TO’ OF THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION!- 2Cor.5:19

By Edward O'Hara | April 27, 2024

By Edward O’Hara, Adam was only flesh when he was made. Even with the knowledge of good and evil he was still only flesh. This is why God wouldn’t allow him to continue to eat from the tree of life to live forever. Because…. “Flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God”. 1Cor.15:56 Adam was an earth suit. A living soul that was only equipped to live here on earth. Made of flesh alone and without spirit. But, because God ultimately wants man in heaven with Him. And heaven is a spiritual kingdom. This is why Adam was placed in circumstances where he was to most likely eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This would give to him free will and dominion, in a place surrounded by choices he was not yet fully…

Watchman: The Suffering Is Immeasurable, and Those Harmed Tend Not to Understand Why. There Is No Peace Without Him

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2024

By SRH,  The pain is indescribable, and individuals affected frequently don’t comprehend why. Without him, there can be no peace. US regulatory organizations frequently assert that vaccination lowers the risk of long-term COVID, while the reverse is actually true. If we want to be healthy, we should do the opposite of everything they tell us about COVID and MRSA. Researchers found spike protein in the bloodstream of patients with long-term COVID-19 two months after vaccination and infection, indicating that spike protein may stay in the body for a lot longer than previously thought and may not stay at the injection site. The study, which came out on December 27 in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, looked at 81 people with long COVID syndrome. It found viral spike protein in one person who had already recovered from infection…

They’ll Never Take Jesus Out Of My Heart–StevieRay Hansen HNewsWire: Federal officials are delaying the release of a manifesto written by Audrey Hale, who killed six people in a Nashville Christian school, according to local officials, with one calling it “astronomically dangerous.” Officials have identified the suspect in Monday’s Nashville Christian school shooting incident as 28-year-old Audrey Hale as Nashville Police released surveillance footage, seen above, on March 28, 2023. (Nashville Police Department) Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) told the New York Post this week that the FBI is currently behind the delay. He said that the documents should be made public for grieving family members and for members of Congress. Hale, who was born female, used “he/him” pronouns, and police officials previously told a news conference she identified as transgender. Later, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Hale suffered from mental……...

They’ll Never Take Jesus Out Of My Heart–StevieRay Hansen In 33 States, Satan Soldiers Are in Charge of Managing Voter Rolls, Which Bodes Ill for Midterm Elections HNewsWire: Honest citizens are growing tired of the left’s bullying. Just like schoolyard bullies, those who are bullied will eventually tire of it and hit the bully back. If these leftist bullies don’t back down, I’m afraid things will get bloody. Your voter registration should not be used by someone else to vote. When someone moves or dies, their name should be removed from the list of registered voters so that they cannot vote.

Watchman’s List of Enemies,NBC Removes C.J. Stroud’s Reference to ‘Jesus Christ’

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2024

HNewsWire: Todd Starnes NBC Sports intentionally censored Houston Texans Quarterback C.J. Stroud when he mentioned Jesus Christ. “I just want to give all glory and praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” Stroud said Sunday after a record-setting victory against Cleveland. “It’s been amazing being in this city for as short as I’ve been – but the love that I’ve got, I’ve really just been doing it for Houston and the people back home. I’m blessed to be in the position that I’m in and blessed enough to be playing at a high level right now. We’ve just gotta keep it going. But I’m super blessed.” But when NBC posted the interview on social media, they intentionally edited Stroud’s reference to Jesus. We have the video evidence below. The reporter asks the question and then they cut out Jesus.…

Watchman: Most Of The World Has Become Enemies of Christ…

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2024

In his epistle to the Philippians, the apostle Paul warned: “For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ” (Phil. 3:18). The term “enemy” translates the Greek word echthros. It is a form kindred to echthos, “hate,” hence denotes one whose disposition is hateful, hostile, or in opposition to another. In the context of Philippians 3, it referred to certain Judaizers who were contending that salvation is obtained upon the basis of submitting to the law of Moses (cf. Acts 15:1). If that is the case, of course, then the Lord’s death upon the cross was in vain (cf. Gal. 2:20). Those who taught this doctrine were, therefore, clearly in opposition to the cross. Nothing more terrible can be said of a person than to suggest that…

Watchman: Residents of an Isolated Community in Arizona, Three Hundred Miles From the US Border, Were Prepared To Take up Guns in Opposition to the Governor’s Activities–Civil War Ready America

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2024

By SRH,  “You’re in cowboy country here,” said Ms. Reidhead, who takes a hard line over illegal immigration and protecting her community’s traditional way of life. Three hundred miles from the U.S. border, a small Arizona hamlet was ready to fight the governor. Pretender Gov. Katie Hobbs helped create this massive American problem but won’t have her office answer the phone. Typical Democrat. Creates problems for Americans, then ignores them when they ask for the solution. In protest of the governor, residents of a remote Arizona hamlet 300 miles from the US border were ready to shoot. Phoenix, Arizona Springerville, a small rural town in Arizona, has all the amenities it needs. RV parks, a general store, a small regional hospital, a supermarket, retail businesses, motels, and restaurants are open during the tourist season. Town’s nearest neighbor is 4,800-person Eagar.…

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the Lord.

Vice President Mike Pence told a crowd of graduates from the Christian-based Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, that they ought to be ready for ridicule because this secular world is about as intolerant of those of the faith as can be.

There is no doubt that persecution is a stark reality of living the Christian life. Christian persecution is to be expected: the apostle Paul warned that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus said that, if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute His followers (John 15:20). Jesus made it clear that those of the world will hate Christians because the world hates Christ. If Christians were like the world—vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition—the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution (see John 15:18–19). Christians are influenced by different principles from those of the world. We are motivated by the love of God and holiness, while the world is driven by the love of sin. It is our very separation from the world that arouses the world’s animosity (1 Peter 4:3–4).

Christians must learn to recognize the value of persecution and even to rejoice in it, not in an ostentatious way but quietly and humbly because persecution has great spiritual value. First, the persecution of Christians allows them to share in a unique fellowship with the Lord. Paul outlined a number of things he had surrendered for the cause of Christ. Such losses, however, he viewed as “rubbish” (Philippians 3:8) or “dung” (KJV) that he might share in the “fellowship of [Christ’s] sufferings” (Philippians 3:10). The noble apostle even counted his chains as a grace (favor) that God had bestowed upon him (Philippians 1:7).

Second, in all truth, Christian persecution is good for believers. James argues that trials test the Christian’s faith, develop endurance in his life, and help develop maturity (James 1:2–4). As steel is tempered in the forge, trials and persecution serve to strengthen the character of believers. A Christian yielding graciously to persecution demonstrates that he is of superior quality as compared to his adversaries (see Hebrews 11:38). It’s easy to be hateful, but Christlikeness produces kindness and blessing in the face of evil opposition. Peter says of Jesus, “When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly” (1 Peter 2:23).

Third, Christian persecution enables believers to better value the support of true friends. Conflict can bring faithful children of God together in an encouraging and supportive way they might not have known otherwise. Hardship can stimulate the Lord’s people toward a greater resolve to love and comfort one another and lift one another to the throne of grace in prayer. There’s nothing like an unpleasant incident to help us reach a greater level of brotherly love.

Even in the face of Christian persecution, we can press on. We can thank God for His grace and patience with us. We can express gratitude for those whom we love in the Lord and who stand with us in times of distress. And we can pray for those who would accuse, misuse, or abuse us (2 Corinthians 11:24Romans 10:1).

A working definition of hate speech is "speech that is intended to insult, intimidate, or cause prejudice against a person or people based on their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation, occupation, disability, or physical appearance." If that is the accepted definition, a Christian should never participate in hate speech. However, the problem is that the definition of hate speech is broadening over time. Proclaiming that a certain belief is wrong or that a certain activity is sinful, based on biblical principles, is increasingly being included in the definition of hate speech.

Ephesians 4:15 refers to "speaking the truth in love." First Peter 3:15 instructs Christians to defend their faith, but to do so "with gentleness and respect." Colossians 4:6 proclaims, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt." Sadly, some Christians fail to follow these biblical instructions. Some Christians (or at least people who claim to be Christians) speak the truth but speak it in such a way that it is very hateful. One prominent example would be Westboro Baptist Church and its "God hates fags" slogan. Westboro Baptist Church is correct in declaring the Bible's teaching that homosexuality is sinful, but they are declaring this truth in such a way that it is intended to be incendiary, offensive, and hurtful. Needless to say, the Bible does not support such methods.

It is likely that in the near future, governments will begin declaring more speech as hate speech, thereby making it illegal. In some parts of the world, it is illegal to say that homosexuality is a sin. In some countries, it is illegal to declare one religion right and other religions wrong. This steady broadening of what qualifies as hate speech could eventually lead to any effort to evangelize being declared hate speech since it would be "hateful" to tell a person that what he/she currently believes is incorrect.

What the perpetrators of this expanded hate speech definition fail to realize (or admit) is that to tell someone the truth is an act of love, not hate. Is it hateful for a teacher to tell a student that his/her answer is wrong? Is it hateful for a building inspector to tell a construction company that they are building on a faulty foundation? Of course, the answer to these questions is no. However, that is precisely the illogic that is being applied to current hate speech legislation. Telling someone that his/her religious views are wrong is somehow hateful. Telling someone that his/her lifestyle is immoral is somehow hateful. The logic is not, in any sense, consistent with how truth is determined in other areas of society.

Our goal is to speak the truth in love. We do not hate Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Catholics, Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather, we simply believe that these groups are making some serious theological and biblical errors. We do not hate homosexuals, adulterers, pornographers, transsexuals, or fornicators. Rather, we simply believe that those who commit such acts are making immoral and ungodly decisions. Telling someone that he/she is in the wrong is not hateful. In reality, refusing to tell someone the truth is what is truly hateful. Declaring the speaking of truth, presented respectfully, to be hate speech, is, in fact, the ultimate demonstration of hate.Source

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.

Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom.

Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse us of doing this very thing because we speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it's also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions.

Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone.
