What Is a Biochip? Nanotech? Neuralink? A Biological Chip Is a Microchip Intended to Function in a Biological Environment, Especially Inside a Living Organism,YOU!

By StevieRay Hansen | February 9, 2023

HNewsWire: What exactly is a biochip? Nanotech? Neuralink? A biological chip is a microchip designed to operate in a biological environment, particularly within a living creature. They will monitor emotions: heart rate, blood sugar levels, emotions, and, gradually, the quantified self. That’s just with the spyware you knowingly add via fitbit and Apple Watch. “Lose the convenience,” I would argue. You are contributing to your children’s “future” in the matrix. The mark is explicitly associated with the worship of the beast and the rejection of the Lord Jesus in Revelation 13. We are not told exactly what the mark is, other than that it is associated with the beast’s name or number, as that which signifies who he is and what he stands for. It is a technique of forcing the world to submit to him as the supreme ruler…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Take a Bunch of Hyssop, Dip It Into the Blood in the Basin and Put Some of the Blood on the Top and on Both Sides of the Doorframe. Not One of You Shall Go Out the Door of His House Until Morning

By StevieRay Hansen | February 9, 2023

Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:22 22Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning. The Hebrew word for basin (caph) referred to a drainage trough at the base of the entrance that prevented rain from entering and muddying the home. That is why it is sometimes translated as “threshold.” Follow the Israelite head of his home as he takes a specific type of branch, hyssop, and marks the top and sides of the door from the base. What did he just do? He’s made a bloody cross above the door to his house. Now travel back in time over a thousand years to a hill right outside…

These Corrupt Politicians Will Literally Tear Each Other Apart. Biden Got It All Wrong During SOTU–Satan Soldier Demonic Biden Heckled, Booed by Republicans During SOTU

By StevieRay Hansen | February 8, 2023

HNewsWire: Satan Soldier Biden Heckled, Booed By Republicans During SOTU Recognizing Demonic Affliction At 80 years old, and One of Satan Older Solder, Biden is the oldest Fake Wanna-be  president to offer a State of the Union speech, and it showed. Satan Soldier Biden referred to Tyre Nichols as “Tyler” while discussing police enforcement and his death in Memphis. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was referred to as the Senate’s “minority” leader by Biden. Biden said he had succeeded in pushing illegal immigration “down” at his State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, in a somewhat shocking remark. Republicans heckled Biden again when he called on Congress to establish a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants as well as border security funding, causing Democrats to cry “order!” According to The Daily Caller, the president’s remarks come on the heels of a…

Turkey: 20 Earthquakes in Two Days TURKEY-SYRIA EARTHQUAKES by Anna Fleck,Feb 7, 2023 Thousands of people have been killed in Turkey and northern Syria after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck on Monday. According to data from the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), the earthquake and its aftershocks hit the areas of Central Turkey, East Turkey and the Turkish-Syrian border region between Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 February. As our chart shows, the initial 7.8 quake was closely followed by a 6.7 magnitude aftershock in the same region, and a 5.6 magnitude aftershock in the Turkey-Syria border region. Galatians 6:7 warns us what happens when we remove the authority of God from our values, our goals, and our laws: Society reaps what it sows as well.  The light went out in the church, and that’s the reason the world got dark.…

Watchman: One Of Satan’s Most Trusted Soldiers, Franklin Graham: “Jesus Would Have Taken the Covid-19 Vaccine”

By StevieRay Hansen | February 7, 2023

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 delusion that happens to those who never gave…

Watchman: Satan’s Best Ambassadors Are Not Pimps Politicians or Power-Brokers, But Pastors…

By StevieRay Hansen | February 7, 2023

Satan’s ambassadors are not pimps, politicians, or power-brokers, but pastors, bishops and phony theologians. His priests do not peddle a different religion, but a deadly perversion of the true one. His troops do not make a full-out frontal assault, but work as agents, sneaking into the opposing army. Satan’s tactics are studied, clever, predictable, effective. Therefore, we must always remain vigilant. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15-16a). False doctrine weakens the future church, while sound doctrine strengthens the future church. Christians are responsible for both the present and the future of the faith. Jesus’s final commandment to his disciples included not only evangelizing and baptizing the nations, but also “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20a). In…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Community Church Pastors Have Strayed From God’s Word, Causing Individuals to Wander in Doubt and Darkness

Daily Devotional: Watchman Issues Warning: Community Church Pastors Have Strayed From God’s Word, Causing Individuals to Wander in Doubt and Darkness We Have False Prophets Today, and When They Deviate From the Word of God, They Get Into This Era of This Heretical Teaching The first characteristic Christians should be aware of can be found in Jude 1:4, which says that false teachers have a way of secretly slipping in among Christians and disguising themselves alongside godly church leaders. In 2 Thes.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…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, God Showed the Egyptians That He Was Greater Than All Things They Worshipped as Gods, They Still Refused to Let the Israelites Leave to Worship Him

By StevieRay Hansen | February 6, 2023

Daily Devotional: The Exodus is a story of deliverance Exodus 12:13 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. The story of the Exodus is one of deliverance. Even after God demonstrated to the Egyptians that He was greater than all the gods they worshiped, they refused to let the Israelites depart to worship Him. The death of the firstborn was the final scourge. The Egyptians worshiped Pharaoh as a god, and his son would succeed him. Because God is kind, this was the last Egyptian god to be tormented. God provided a means for His people to avoid the angel of death. They were supposed to kill and consume a spotless lamb. The…

UNDERSTANDING GENESIS–The Lord God sent him forth from the garden…

By Edward O'Hara | February 4, 2023

I read a meme recently that made the claim that it was the gospel in a nutshell. It said God made it- Adam broke it- Jesus fixed it. If you believe this is the Genesis account in a nutshell then you do not know the first thing about the true and living God. His Son Jesus. Or what the atonement was for. In Rom.5:12,13 Paul tells us that when Adam sinned it brought sin into the world. Not all sin. Just his. And Paul also said this sin was not imputed to him or anyone else. This means that God did not hold this sin against Adam. So that he, nor anyone else for that matter, was not punished for it. So how could Adam be accused of breaking anything? And how can the rest of mankind be punished for…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Jesus Is the Great Deliverer. He Has Come to Free You From Slavery to the World So That You Can Worship Him

By StevieRay Hansen | February 4, 2023

Daily Devotional: Blessed Is That Word “Free,” and Blessed Is He Who Spends Himself to Make Men So Egypt is a microcosm of the world. Pharaoh is comparable to Satan, the prince of this world. Those who are called by God are born into the world and subject to its rule. But when the LORD summons them, the prince of this world will not let them leave easily. He wants their servitude. He desires their worship and despises the idea of people worshiping the LORD. “I will not let my slaves go,” he usually says. The LORD summons those to whom He will give His firstborn son. He considers them his own children. As the heirs of their father, the firstborn have rights and benefits. The Father summons us from the world to worship Him. We have been serving Pharaoh,…

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.
