The Watchman Has Expressed Concerns About the New CDC Director, Dr. Mandy Cohen, Suggesting That She Can Be Having Some Personal Challenges and a Tendency to Be Deceitful. The Watchman Believes That Her Decision-Making May Be Influenced by Demonic Forces

By StevieRay Hansen | December 3, 2023

HNewsWire: Watchman Says Dr. Mandy Cohen, the New Director of the CDC, Is a Master Liar, Has Demonic Problems, and Indicates Satan Directs Her Thoughts In her first appearance before Congress on Nov. 30, the newly appointed director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defended COVID-era measures like vaccine requirements. The new director, Dr. Mandy Cohen, told Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), “I’m very proud of the work we did in North Carolina,” in response to his question about whether she regretted any of the policies implemented while serving as the state’s health secretary, including closing schools. “I feel like we did that in a way that was very inclusive,” she said. Does the fact that the swamp monster nominated someone from the swamp truly surprise us? She is a member, of course, and she won’t betray…

Watchman Sees Death: saRNA Self-Amplifying RNA Kill Shots Are Coming

By StevieRay Hansen | December 3, 2023

HNewsWire: Kill Shots The next generation of RNA-based injections will contain self-amplifying RNA (saRNA). If the term “self-amplifying RNA” sounds frightening, it should. It likely brings to mind images of scientific experiments running amok. As discussed in a previous article, “mRNA vaccines” are not made with messenger RNA but with modified RNA (modRNA). These so-called vaccines are actually gene therapy products (GTPs), as modRNA hijacks our cells’ software. We have no possibility at all of gaining influence on modRNA (or saRNA) after it has been injected. You have to wonder how many people were vaccinated while in the hospital and under anesthesia and now have serious health problems or have died. Also, it’s interesting that both Moderna and Pfizer have these deadly vaccines, but only Pfizer is being thrown under the bus when they both do the same thing. We…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, End-Time Demonic Activities in the Book of Revelation, Tribulation Now Playing Out

By StevieRay Hansen | December 3, 2023

We are living in the end times. The exaltation of the satanic and demonic will grow worse, not better. The whole world will fall under Satan’s spell. “that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” -Revelation 12:9 This includes the apostate churches and all those who trust in them. The one-world religion described in Revelation 17:1-18 as “the great harlot” will be part of the end-times scenario. The term harlot is used throughout the Old Testament as a metaphor for false religion. The actual identity and makeup of the religion have been debated for centuries and has resulted in a number of different views among Bible commentators and theologians. There are convincing arguments for the one world religion being Catholicism, Islam, the New Age movement, or some form of religion not even invented yet, and an internet search will…

THE GARDEN- ISOLATION? OR OPPORTUNITY?

By Edward O'Hara | December 2, 2023

By Edward O’HARA When God placed Adam in the garden did He tell him he was to live only in the garden? Were there boundaries for the garden that he was not to pass? Is there any place in the Bible that says Adam had to stay in the garden when God placed him there? Or was Adam able to go anywhere in the earth he chose? Is there in the Genesis account, or anywhere else in the Bible, anything that tells us that Adam had access to the whole earth? The answer is yes. Because in Gen.1:29 God told Adam and Eve they were to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. He said, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl…

HNewsWire:  HNewsWire: Evidence suggests that the injections damage the immune system over time in a dose-dependent way. Only if one survives the spike protein’s immediate toxicity may one enjoy the benefits of its long-term effects. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) slammed the White House’s Dr. Anthony Fauci and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra for failing to provide critical information regarding a new COVID-19 subvariant. “How is it that the flu vaccination varies every year, but this vaccine is not?” On Tuesday, Paul spoke to Fox News. “You may have a point there,” I’ll admit. As long as you can tell me, “We have a new vaccination that truly has anything to…

HNewsWire: by Tyler Durden Friday, Oct 20, 2023 – 04:45 AM It took what felt like forever, but at least some reality is making its way back into healthcare. We guess this means no more dancing nurse Tik Tok videos, though. And now that we’ve seen the “pump” on the healthcare industry from Covid-19, it’s time for the “dump”. That was the topic of a new report from Bloomberg which reported that vaccine makers, pharmacy chains, makers of at-home rapid tests – and generally anyone who was cashing checks off the back of the Covid-19 hysteria – is now seeing business suffer, or going belly up. The report notes that the biggest “loser” from the nation’s return to common sense is Pfizer, who was a major beneficiary of the pandemic surge. The company just dramatically reduced its annual sales outlook by $9…

Watchman Warns Where the Republican Party Is Headed: Christian Woman Targeted by Republican Rep Over ‘Christ Alone’ Post Fired—They Are Not Your Friend–They Are The Enemy!

SRH: Those who love their sins will criminalize anything in Christianity that offends them. Our government has been overthrown. HNewsWire: According to multiple accounts, Elizabeth “Lizzie” Marbach, the woman who was targeted by an Ohio congressman for proclaiming the gospel, has lost her job. Marbach, a former Trump campaign and Ohio Republican Party staffer, was let go by Ohio Right to Life, according to The Sentinel. Marbach, a “proud Reformed Baptist,” is still identified as Ohio Right to Life’s director of communications. “There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone,” she wrote on X, previously Twitter, on Tuesday.”This is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen,” Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), who later apologized, said. Lizzie, delete it. In the United States, religious freedom applies to all religions. You’ve taken it…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, “Many Will Come In My Name, Claiming, ‘I Am the Christ,’ and Will Deceive Many

By StevieRay Hansen | December 2, 2023

Matthew 24:5-8 gives us some important clues for discerning the approach of the end times: “Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.” An increase in false messiahs, an increase in warfare, and increases in famines, plagues, and natural disasters-these are signs of the end times. In this passage, though, we are given a warning: we are not to be deceived, because these events are only the beginning of birth pains; the end is still to come. Some interpreters…

RENEWING OUR MINDS, AND IT’S BY PRODUCT, MUST BE MOTIVATED BY GOD’S LOVE- Rom.12:1,2

By Edward O'Hara | December 2, 2023

In our last look at Rom.11 I referenced Rom.12 saying that when we get to it we will read where Paul would begin to address some things about behavior as it relates to believers. And we will see now that he does. But, it’s probably not what most people think of when they think about how a believer is to behave. We also learned that Paul taught that it was necessary in God’s plan for Him to “show mercy to all”, that Israel would be concluded in unbelief. Because this was the way God planned for them and the rest of the nations to be shown God’s mercy for salvation. Because it was in their unbelief that Israel rejected and crucified Jesus. Whose death was planned from before God made the world because it is in this way power is…

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.
