Watchman: The Norm For Tribulation: Social Unrest, Wildfires, Hurricanes and Food Lines

By StevieRay Hansen | April 27, 2023

HNewsWire: Dominate the Headlines, a Surge in Violent Crime Across Major Us Metropolitan Areas Has Also Been Observed Since the Virus-Plandemic Began in March… HNewsWire: This afternoon, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages Texas’ electric power system, urged residents and businesses to conserve energy and warned of probable rolling blackouts. The grid is facing a “possible reserve capacity shortfall with no market solution available,” according to an ERCOT notification issued late Sunday night. ERCOT has encouraged residents to decrease their energy use between 1400-2000 local time, when temperatures are predicted to reach triple digits. High temperatures are fueling record electricity consumption, and limited wind generation may push the system to its limit. Wind power is expected to account for roughly 8% of total capacity during peak hours today, according to current predictions. The current predicted electricity demand…

“One-World Religion”, Referring to the False Religion’s Influence Among the World’s Rulers and Influential People

By StevieRay Hansen | April 26, 2023

HNewsWire: 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 produce many more possibilities and theories. There is no doubt that some sort of one-world religion under the false prophet will be a part of the end times, perhaps made up of a number of different religions, sects, and isms that are around today. Revelation 17:1-18 gives us several characteristics of the one-world religion.…

Those Who Despise the Truth and Wish to Keep It Hidden It Is a Conflict Between Those Who Love and Speak the Truth and Others Who Hate It

By StevieRay Hansen | April 26, 2023

HNewsWire: Those who are spiritually dead are oblivious to their state (2 Corinthians 4:4). They assume they can “eat, drink and be merry” (Luke 12:19 NIV), for physical life is all there is. In so doing, they fail to engage their inmost longings. They fail to recognize their sense of purposelessness, disconnectedness, and the fact that, apart from God, their pursuits do not provide fulfillment. The real danger is that, without the new life that Christ gives, the sinner’s physical death will be followed by the second death (Revelation 20:14-15). Even believers, who have spiritual life, sometimes fail to fully live it by rebelling through sin. The consequence of sin is spiritual death (Romans 6:23). When believers in Christ toy with sin, they experience the death-like symptoms of sin – a sense of distance from God.  The fundamental conflict in our culture…

Satan Soldiers U.N.’s Guterres Warns: New Model for Global Governance’ Is Coming

By StevieRay Hansen | April 26, 2023

To Redistribute ‘Power and Wealth’, There Is One Small Detail Guterres Has Left Out, the U.N. Will be a Big Part of the Antichrist Appearance on the World Stage, the Correct Description Would Be to Enslave the Masses Into a Life of Hell on Earth, Full Throttle Tribulations… The Portugese socialist made his prediction Saturday as he delivered the Nelson Mandela Lecture and spoke of the need for the U.N. to address “the huge gaps in governance structures and ethical frameworks” the epidemic has exposed. He said: To close those gaps, and to make the New Social Contract possible, we need a New Global Deal to ensure that power, wealth and opportunities are shared more broadly and fairly at the international level. A new model for global governance must be based on full, inclusive and equal participation in global institutions. […] A…

A MORE PERFECT WAY- ACTS 18:26–IN THIS WE SEE THAT THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST GIVEN THROUGH JOHN’S BAPTISM WAS INSUFFICIENT

By Edward O'Hara | April 26, 2023

Edward O’Hara: Like Rom.6, Acts 18 tells us there is a difference between John’s baptism and New Covenant baptism. The man Apollos in this passage is said to have been preaching the message of Christ. But, that he was preaching the way of John’s baptism. So that he was in need of being taught “a more perfect way”. In this we see that the message of Christ given through John’s baptism was insufficient. The reason this is true is because John’s baptism was only for those who were under the law. A baptism that shows how to believe in Christ while still living under the law. A way that included the remission of sins they committed while under the law. Just as John, an apostle to the circumcision per Gal.2:9, in 1 John 1:8,9 teaches. The “more perfect way” regards…

HOW THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST HAS BEEN

By Edward O'Hara | April 26, 2023

PREPARING ‘CHURCHIANITY’ TO BE STRONGLY DELUDED… Edward O’Hara… In 2Thes.2 Paul is teaching the church about the great falling away and the coming of the “man of sin”. In it Paul says that the great falling away is caused by a strong delusion that comes upon those who were in the church. And that this strong delusion is for those in the church that have never come to a love of the truth. So it is these who are sent this strong delusion. It is for those who believed they have come to a love for the truth but never did. Because instead they allowed themselves to be deceived by Satan through false teachers and wound up joining themselves to a false religion that called itself Christianity but was not Christianity at all. So this passage is not speaking of a…

Satan Soldier Biden Predicts ‘Real’ Food Shortages in America, but Offers No Plan to Feed America’s People

By StevieRay Hansen | April 26, 2023

HNewsWire-Surprisingly, the president of the United States appeared in front of the globe this week, anticipating “serious food shortages” while failing to present a strategy to keep us nourished. “With respect to food shortages-yes, we did discuss food shortages, and, um, and it’s going to be real,” His Fraudulence Joe Biden remarked during a press conference on Thursday. “The price of these sanctions is placed not just on Russia, but on a slew of other nations as well.” Including European nations as well as our own.” Naturally, Biden made this statement only a few days after Press Secretary Lyin’ Ginger said that Americans are unlikely to experience food shortages. “While we do not foresee a food crisis in the United States, we do predict that increased energy, fertilizer, wheat, and grain prices may effect the cost of producing and buying…

Kill Shot And The Long-Term Dangers Of Experimental MRNA Shots

By StevieRay Hansen | April 26, 2023

“Let’s start with a thought experiment: If an engineering design flaw exists and no one measures it, can it really injure people or kill them?” a Twitter user named Ehden writes.1 He goes on to discuss an overlooked aspect of the COVID mRNA shots, something called “codon optimization,” which virtually guarantees unexpected results. Ehden explains:2 “Trying to tell your body to generate proteins is hard for many reasons. One of them is the fact that when you try to run the protein information via ribosomes which process that code and generate the protein, it can be very slow or can get stuck during the process. Luckily, scientists found a way to overcome this problem, by doing code substitution: instead of using the original genetic code to generate the protein, they changed the letters in the code so the code would be…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Reject the Gospel as False. Unbelievers Reject the Good News That All Sinners Can Be Saved Through Faith in Jesus Christ. Atheists Have No Faith Because They Reject the Bible as God’s Inspired and Authoritative Word

By StevieRay Hansen | April 26, 2023

Daily Devotional: You will also notice that a major characteristic of nonbelievers is a hatred of the truth and wisdom found in God’s word. Those who reject the Bible’s claims are more likely to embrace the lies of the devil, which cater to their fallen nature, than they are to embrace the truth of God, which is revealed in the Bible. They readily accept the falsehoods of this world, which are unable to provide them with the eternal life their precious souls require. The truth of God’s word is offensive and painful to those who reject God. And Revelation 21:8 says that those who refuse to believe will be tossed in the fiery lake of fire with Satan and his angels. If you don’t believe in Jesus Christ and what He did for you on the cross, you’re already damned…

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.
