Watchman: The Department of Defense Is the Master Controller of the Kill Shot COVID-19 Plan-Demic and COVID-19 Experimental Biological Deadly Weapons

By StevieRay Hansen | February 2, 2023

All Evil , and mankind has lost control To Satan! HNewsWire: “Really this is a military operation, war crimes and atrocities covered up as a health event.” Perhaps the biggest existential question of our times is where exactly did covid-19 come from? According to Sasha Latypova, a Russian-American, former pharmaceutical industry research and development executive, and Katherine Watt, a para-legal researcher, and philosopher, it’s an inside job. Covid-19 is an act of bio-warfare perpetrated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) on the U.S. and worldwide populations in two stages. The first step was a virus that frightened the living daylights out of people already primed for the next disaster. The second was the rollout of toxic “vaccines” designed to cause further harm and death. “They were designed to be toxic, with intent to cause harm,” Latypova told L4Atv. “It looks like…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, There Is Only One Door Through Which We Can Escape God’s Judgment. (John 10) There Is No Other Provision Made for Escaping the Wrath of God That Was to Come Upon the Earth

By StevieRay Hansen | February 2, 2023

Daily Devotional: The ark represents Christ. Judgment was about to end the agony that man was causing on himself, but God was going to find a way to save some from it. On the ark, there is only one door (v. 16), just as there is only one entrance by which we can escape God’s punishment. (John 10) There is no other way to avoid God’s wrath that is about to fall on the planet. The only way to look on the ark was up. The window was at the very top of the building. In Christ, we have an upward vision on the world. “Then the LORD shut him in,” after Noah, his family, and the animals had entered. Gen. 7:16b With His Spirit, the Lord Himself seals us into the new life. He confirms his promise (covenant) with…

Why God DOES NOT Speak to His People Through Prophets “In These Last Days”- Heb.1:1,2

By Edward O'Hara | February 1, 2023

We are seeing many who call themselves prophets speaking as it were for God saying all sorts of things. Sometimes even seeming to get it right. But, we are not only told by Jesus that we must not be deceived by them. We also see in passages like Heb.1:1,2 that God does not speak to His people through prophets. Heb.1:1,2 says “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake IN TIME PAST unto the fathers BY THE PROPHETS, Hath IN THESE LAST DAYS spoken unto us BY HIS SON, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.” And 1John2:26,27 says, “These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the ANOINTING which ye have received of him abideth in you, AND YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN…

UNDERSTANDING GENESIS: GOD SAID IT WAS VERY GOOD; GOD WAS SAYING IT WAS EXACTLY AS HE INTENDED IT TO BE

By Edward O'Hara | January 31, 2023

What so many have been deceived to believe is a behavioral problem for mankind, is actually a spiritual problem. Because what people do is not what keeps them from heaven and eternal life. It’s what and in whom they believe that does. The fact that man was created natural and not spiritual is the issue. And this issue can only be remedied when we are made spiritual. In this message I will show you that it is because Adam was made a natural man, not a spiritual one that created man’s need for Jesus. Because only in this way could God’s plan that men would choose to love Him in return for His love by their own God given free will fill their need for Jesus. This is why God made man in such a way that it would not…

Watchman: The Ongoing COVID Deceptions: How Ruling Elites Lied About Masks and Mask Mandates

By StevieRay Hansen | January 31, 2023

HNewsWire: Lipton Matthews The mishandling of the covid-19 pandemic by global elites has severely eroded confidence in expert opinion. New information is emerging that senior officials doubted policies that were foisted upon the American public. By sharing the results of his deposition with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt exposed Fauci’s advocacy of face masks as insincere: Another tidbit from the Fauci depo: In Feb 20 he emailed a friend advising her that masks were ineffective. Confirmed again on Mar 31. On April 3 he’s adamant masks should be worn even though he couldn’t cite a single study to prove it. Mandates followed-Lives ruined. Numerous studies disputed the efficacy of face masks, yet mask mandates rose to national prominence. During the apex of pandemic hysteria, the American Institute for Economic Research ran a series of scathing articles debunking the usefulness of face…

The Watchman Gives a Warning. Satan Soldiers Are Coming For Us: Australian Health Authorities (Satan Soldiers) Call For More COVID Boosters… But the Public Says No. Americans Are Next!

By StevieRay Hansen | January 31, 2023

HNewsWire: Australia and New Zealand saw among of the harshest pandemic mandate conditions of any Western country, crossing the line into dictatorship on several occasions. The Australian authorities (Satan’s Soldiers) limited residents of larger cities to living close to their homes, with residents not permitted to travel more than three miles from their residences. Curfew hours were imposed between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. They were prohibited from entering public parks and beaches without a mask, despite the fact that it is practically impossible to spread a virus outside and UV light from the sun functions as a natural disinfectant. In the worst cases, Australian residents were visited by police and government officials (Satan’s troops) for expressing their opposition to the mandates on social media. Some were even arrested for calling for anti-lockdown protests. COVID camps were created in Australia and…

Why Jesus’ Sacrifice on the Cross Matters!

By James | January 29, 2023

Daily Devotional: Today’s devotional is about the importance of Jesus’ sacrifice. As Christians, we believe that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of humanity, and through his death and resurrection, we can have eternal life. The Bible teaches us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Our sins separate us from God and we cannot reconcile ourselves to him on our own. But God, in his love and mercy, provided a way for us to be reconciled to him through the sacrifice of Jesus. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is not just a historical event, but it has ongoing power and significance…

Day of Wrath: South Africa Deploys 10,000 Troops As “Flood Disasters” Leave Hundreds Dead

By StevieRay Hansen | January 28, 2023

HNewsWire: South African authorities have “activated” 10,000 troops to assist with emergency relief operations in the flood-ravaged KwaZulu-Natal Province, where at least 443 people have died. HNewsWire: According to a statement from the province of KwaZulu-Natal, the “flood disasters” brought on by six days of torrential rain now “rank as being among the biggest tragedies to hit the region in a long time.” On Monday, he revealed that the dead toll had risen to 443, and that 63 people were still missing.

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.
