This Man Should Be the Next Pres. Of the United States of America. DeSantis Sends Cops to Physically Remove Suspended ‘Soros-Backed’ State Attorney, Now Let’s Remove Soros

By StevieRay Hansen | August 5, 2022

  HNewsWire:Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has suspended State Attorney Andrew Warren for ‘picking and choosing which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda,’ and has appointed Susan Lopez as his replacement during the suspension. Warren, who had served the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, has most recently refused to follow state policy criminalizing abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade – and repeatedly refused to enforce laws cracking down on child sex-change surgeries, according to DeSantis. The liberal state attorney also declined to prosecute 67 protesters arrested in George Floyd demonstrations, and said in 2017 that he would only pursue the death penalty “in the very worst cases,” and not where “mental illness played a role.” “We are suspending Soros-backed 13th circuit state attorney Andrew Warren for neglecting his duties as he pledges not…

UNRIGHTEOUSNESS- DOES THIS MEAN YOU ARE BAD? Those who try to attain heaven by works, by someone’s works, by anyone’s works, are unrighteous every bit as much as those whose behavior contradicts God’s love. Believing that righteousness of works is the righteousness that God requires for them to be accepted in His kingdom. The unrighteous appeal to God for something that can not save them. They ask, “Please make me good enough to be accepted into your kingdom”. Men like Ray Comfort and other so called street preachers that preach this way of salvation every time they tell people about their Jesus have completely missed the mark. This is the false gospel in a nutshell that Paul said in Gal.1 those who believe and teach it are “accursed”. Because being good or bad has nothing to do with why men…

Featured Story HNewsWire- Here’s Satan’s Soldiers Doing Their Evil Work! online Chinese videos Showed Farmers From Various Parts of the Country Were Removed as They Plowed the Fields by Local Police for Violating Lockdowns, and Were Subject to either Detention or Quarantine for 14 Days. Only one local seed business was able to validate the official line on seed ready for The Epoch Times’ Chinese version. The employee said that the firm has been shuttered since the lockdown in early March. “Everyone is remaining at home for the PCR test” during the epidemic, she added, adding that she didn’t know when business would restart. Food shortages will result from a seed shortage. Liu is a Chinese journalist who has asked to remain anonymous. He argues that the scarcity of viable seeds is more problematic than the limitations imposed during the lockdown. “The…

Update: Scourge of the Heavens In Play: Texas Power Grid Operator Urges Customers to Conserve Electricity After Six Plants Go Offline, but Don’t Worry People, They Have Things Under Control. If the Power Out, HNewsWire Suggest You Find a Shade Tree and Pray, Make More Sense Then (Ercot)

By StevieRay Hansen | August 3, 2022

HNewsWire: Texans must be prepared for a power outage. Again. According to a new bombshell report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), while Texas has made some progress in increasing surplus energy flow to the grid for times of peak demand, power will be extremely tight this summer, and Texans should expect rolling blackouts during the hottest months of the year. According to the newly issued 2022 Summer Reliability Assessment, Texas, as well as sections of California and the Southwest, are in a “elevated risk category of energy crisis.” The increased strain on the system is caused by a mix of exceptionally high temperatures and weather conditions, inadequate generator care and maintenance throughout Texas, continuous supply chain challenges, and rising demand. NERC also identified cyber threats, wildfires, and a scarcity of coal power inputs as important challenges that…

It’s Gonna Get Cold in Europe Now That Gazprom Halts Gas Shipments to Europe via Critical Pipeline as Energy Prices Soar, Leading to Rationing, Blackouts, and Other Measures That Will Make the 1970s Oil Crisis in the US Look Like Child’s Play

By StevieRay Hansen | August 2, 2022

HNewsWire-To avoid blackouts and other measures that would make the 1970s oil crisis in the US seem like child’s play for Europe, Gazprom has halted gas shipments to Europe through a critical pipeline as energy prices skyrocket. Gas giant Gazprom has suspended all exports to Europe through the Yamal-Europe pipeline, a vital conduit to European energy supply, after Europe received the most Russian gas in months yesterday as Vladimir Putin’s deadline to either pay for gas in rubles (or be cut off) came and passed. Rather of heading toward Germany and the European Union, gas supplies began moving in the other way on Friday and Saturday, according to Gascade, the network operator. The EU has already increased its imports of LNG from the United States in recent months. Researchers at Goldman Sachs have previously found that US exports of LNG…

California, Illinois, and N.Y. to Declare Monkeypox States of Emergency LockDown is approaching! Mail In Voting Next

Corporations Are Now in Charge of American Values, You Will Be Assimilated

By StevieRay Hansen | July 31, 2022

HNewsWire: Despite the First Amendment, in the United States today, Christians do not have total freedom of speech. There are things we believe, ideas clearly taught in the Scriptures, that are now considered “hate speech” in our world of political correctness. A society that proudly proclaims freedom of speech and then creates laws against hate speech is talking out of both sides of its mouth. Laws and governments aside, there are still what we might call “social laws” in place, and when Christians are faced with ostracization due to their beliefs, it certainly does not demonstrate freedom of speech. Many believers throughout history have been persecuted by their societies because the expression of their beliefs did not line up with the status quo. A notable example is Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whose refusal to bow down to the king’s idol landed…

It’s A New World Order, Alright, Birth Pains

By StevieRay Hansen | July 29, 2022

HNewsWire: The erroneous concept that the Antichrist will be the world’s most brilliant and glorious leader is based on Revelation 13:7 where it says he will gain authority over “every tribe, people, tongue and nation” on planet earth — something no other person has ever done. But the evidence of prophecy points to the fact that his reign will be anything but brilliant and glorious. For example, his conquest of the world will devastate the earth. It will be like Napoleon’s “victory” in Russia — he will win the battle and lose the war. The Antichrist will end up with a world that is devastated and polluted beyond imagination. Furthermore, the world’s subservience to him and worship of him will be based to a large degree on the force, deception, and terror — not just genuine admiration. Also, his obsession with the Jews will…

To Hospitals, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Is Prescribing the Usage of the Phrase “Father’s Milk.” All of Which Are the Antichrist Losers Who Have Taken Over the Medical Profession?

By StevieRay Hansen | July 28, 2022

HNewsWire:Demonic activity, In the United States, the Demonic Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has produced a new guidance recommending hospitals and health care providers to adapt their wording to be more “gender-inclusive.” The book offers “conventional terminology” like “breast milk,” then proposes woke alternatives like “human milk,” “parent’s milk,” and, most bizarrely, “father’s milk.” GOD’s Plans Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Colin Wright, an evolutionary scientist, shared a screenshot of the book, which proposes using the phrases “gestational parent” instead of “mother,” “lactating person” instead of “nursing mother,” and “chest-feeding” instead of “breastfeeding.” SRH: There is no such thing as chest-feeding father milk, just ‘breastfeeding’ mother milk. Even the term ‘breast’ is substituted with’ mammary gland’ by the newspeak diktat. I received this paper from a friend whose wife works as a hospital nurse for new mothers and their newborns.

WHY THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU The kingdom of God is not of this world. Jesus made this clear when He said, “If this were my kingdom then would my servants fight for me.” John18:36. This is why in Eph.6:12 Paul said “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The arena we fight in is a spiritual one. Not a natural one. So, when Jesus said “the kingdom of God is within you”, it was relative to the new spirit birthed in us that He came to provide for mankind. Through the New Testament that Heb.9:15 says was given power through His death and resurrection. And not the natural world around us. Before Jesus came the kingdom of…

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.
