Watchman Who’s Going to Jail Cardiologist Blows Whistle: All Hospital ‘COVID Deaths’ Were ‘Murdered’–Bill Gates Should be First!

By StevieRay Hansen | March 18, 2024

SRH, Watchman: Who’s Going to Prison? Cardiologist Comes Clean: All “COVID Deaths” in Hospitals Were “Murdered” In a shocking testimony, a well-known cardiologist has come clean about the real reason behind the deaths of individuals whose diagnoses were labeled as “covid.” In testimony given before the Novel Coronavirus Southwestern Intergovernmental Committee, Dr. Peter McCullough discussed the startling number of alleged COVID-19 deaths in hospital settings both during and after the outbreak. All in attendance were astonished, nevertheless, by McCullough’s claim that the virus did not kill any patients. Instead, McCullough informed the panel that the hospital where each patient received “treatment” actually “murdered” them, despite the fact that their cause of death was recorded as “COVID.” McCullough said that hospitals gained more money the more patients they killed. Huge financial incentives were given to hospitals to put deadly policies in…

Watchman: A Court System Out of Control and the Supreme Court’s Ruling That Public Officials May Block Their Constituents on Social Media

By StevieRay Hansen | March 18, 2024

By SRH, Public officials are now allowed to block their constituents on social media, according to a ruling by the Supreme Court. In Michigan, a local official blocked commenters who were critical of their COVID-19 policies. No Free Speech allow,In a unanimous ruling on March 15, the Supreme Court determined that public officials are permitted to block individuals on social media in certain circumstances. Furthermore, the court emphasized that when public officials use their personal social media accounts to address work-related issues, they are essentially representing the government. However, these officials can only be held accountable for violating the First Amendment if they have been duly authorized by the government to communicate on its behalf. The elected representatives have seemingly overlooked the fact that it is us, the people who elected them, and it is us, the people who finance…

Janet Yellen’s Treasury Department Hires 5-Count Felon JPMorgan Chase to Look for Fraud–In Our Face BS From Satan Soldiers

By StevieRay Hansen | March 18, 2024

HNewsWire: By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 11, 2023 ~ Janet Yellen Immediately upon departing her post as Chair of the Federal Reserve, but prior to getting the nod from the Biden administration to become U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen engaged in what the courageous reporter at ProPublica, Jesse Eisinger, called a “two-fisted money grab from banks.” Yellen raked in more than $7 million in speaking fees with the bulk of that coming from Wall Street banks and trading houses, including JPMorgan Chase. In a Tweet, Eisinger said: “This is corruption, but isn’t called that because it’s so quotidian.” Now there is the appearance that a quid pro quo is coming full circle. According to a press release posted on JPMorgan Chase’s website, “it has been designated by the United States Treasury Department under a financial agency agreement to provide account…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, It’s Better to Confront Danger Beside the Lord Than to Run and Hide From It

By StevieRay Hansen | March 18, 2024

Devotional: Acts 9:1-20 How risk-averse or daring are you while making decisions? Because of the potential for loss or other unfavorable outcomes, many Christians avoid taking risks. The elimination of risks makes intuitive sense from a human perspective. Uncertainty, however, is a normal aspect of the Christian life of faith. Obedience may seem hazardous to us, but God sees no such thing since He is in complete charge of everything and will use it for His good. In the Bible, we read of actual individuals who trusted God even when faced with the unexpected. Ananias is one of them; he is a disciple whom God has sent to help the freshly converted Saul. By paying a visit to this well-known antichrist, Ananias put his life in danger. After his conversion, Saul too faced danger on a daily basis as he diligently…

Watchman:Warning Christian Persecution Is a Reality and Its Going To Be Brutal

By StevieRay Hansen | March 17, 2024

By SRH, Christian Concern has issued a warning, expressing concern that Christians may face the label of “extremists” due to the government’s recently published definition of extremism. This new definition states that extremism involves promoting or advocating an ideology rooted in violence, hatred, or intolerance, with the intention of undermining or eradicating the fundamental rights and freedoms of others. According to Christian Concern, individuals who hold pro-life views, question gender norms, or adhere to traditional beliefs regarding marriage Will be targeted under this broad definition. According to the organization, Christians who uphold the value of life may be viewed as standing against the assumed ‘fundamental right’ to abortion, thereby being labeled as ‘intolerant’ and extremists. It is important to mention that opposing abortion is already included in the Prevent list of ideologies that are seen as potential signs of extremism.…

Watchman: Insider Cautions About WEF’s Intentions to ‘Relaunch’ the COVID Plandemic–Evil Never Rest

By StevieRay Hansen | March 17, 2024

By SRH, The World Economic Forum (WEF) is allegedly plotting to reignite the COVID plandemic, as per a whistleblower from the bio-weapons industry. Dr. Harvey Risch, a Yale University professor and expert in bio-weapons, has raised the alarm about an imminent “next plandemic” that will catch the world off guard. Despite the belief that the COVID crisis is in the past, Risch cautions that the globalist elites are determined to see their “Great Reset” agenda through, and another, more lethal COVID outbreak could be the key to achieving their goals. The alleged “virus” and “vaccine” have conveniently provided the perfect opportunity for the bioweapons industry in America to position itself as a necessary entity, claiming to protect the public and safeguard our health. However, Dr. Risch is taking action by informing influential lawmakers about the hidden agenda behind these plans.…

Watchman’s Warning: U.S. Green Berets Confirmed on Taiwanese Islands Near China’s Coast,War Is Near and Tribulation Plays Out In Real Time, Our Gov. Lied to Us Again

By StevieRay Hansen | March 17, 2024

by Tyler Durden Sunday, Mar 17, 2024 Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com, Taiwanese Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng confirmed on Thursday the presence of US Army Special Forces soldiers in Kinmen, a group of islands that are controlled by Taiwan but located just off the coast of mainland China. Some parts of the Kinmen islands are just 2.5 miles away from the mainland Chinese city of Xiamen. The presence of US troops on the islands was first reported by Taiwanese media last month. Chiu confirmed the highly provocative deployment when asked about a new report from the US outlet SOFREP that said US Green Berets have taken up “permanent positions” as military advisors in Kinmen. The US soldiers are also deployed in Penghu, a Taiwanese-controlled archipelago about 30 miles west of the main island of Taiwan and 70 miles east of mainland China. The…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Your Fruitfulness Is Absolutely Related to Your Understanding of Divine Truth. “Bearing Fruit in Every Good Work and Growing in God’s Knowledge” (Col. 1:10)

By StevieRay Hansen | March 17, 2024

Your Fruitfulness Is Directly Related to Your Knowledge of Divine Truth. Every farmer who enjoys a bountiful harvest does so only after a lot of hard work. He must cultivate the soil, plant the seed, and care for it till it matures. Each step is deliberate, disciplined, and systematic. Similarly, bearing spiritual fruit is not a spontaneous or unplanned process. It necessitates our diligence in obtaining knowledge of God’s will as revealed in His Word. It is the prayer of Paul in Colossians 1:9, which he repeats in verse 10. The phrase “growing in God’s understanding” (v. 10) might be rendered as “increasing by God’s knowledge.” Both versions are acceptable. The first emphasizes the urge to grow, whereas the second highlights the need of knowledge in spiritual progress. The Holy Spirit renews your mind and modifies your thinking as your…

Watchman: The Democratic Party Is Taking Steps to Prohibit Veterans From Purchasing Weapons; What Could Possibly Scare Them?

By StevieRay Hansen | March 16, 2024

By SRH, Over 140 Democrats in the House want to bring back the part of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act that lets veterans be limited in certain situations in their ability to buy or own guns. The VA has been telling the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for a long time about soldiers who are having mental health issues. These worries cover cases in which veterans use a fiduciary to manage their VA benefits. But this year, the Senate got rid of the gun ban in the Clinton area thanks to an amendment put forward by Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). Thank you to those who have donated.

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.
