In one day. This is a trial run in order to vaccinate a lot of people. So if and when something goes wrong with the vaccine, nobody will refuse it. They’ve already taken it. It takes a little time for the rumors to spread about abortions, ovulation problems, paralysis, so forth. They have a trial run to vaccinate a huge number of people in one day.

WHEN AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT GOES OUT OF A MAN- Mt.12

By Edward O'Hara | June 15, 2024

In the parable Jesus told of the unclean spirit that was sent out of a man, only to return to find his house swept and clean. Jesus is showing us that there is nothing in a natural man. He is flesh and blood and only flesh and blood. No spirit of his own to commune with God. He is also showing us that an unclean spirit can only take occupancy in a man whose house, that is his body, is empty of anything else. This is why when he returns to find the man’s house swept and clean the unclean spirit knows he can again take occupancy. This empty house is in agreement with what was written in Gen.2:7 and Gen.7:15,22. Also found in 1Cor.15:45,46. Which explains why Paul also wrote in 1Cor.2:14 about natural men saying, “But the natural…

Over A Million People Have Been Detained in China Internment Camps — Yet America Looks the Other Way, While Apple, Tesla Opens Showroom in That Wicked Country

By StevieRay Hansen | June 15, 2024

Featured Story Once again proving that when it comes to selling cars in China, there doesn’t appear to be anything that’s off limits, Tesla has opened its first showroom in Xinjiang. Xinjiang is the region best known for where “Chinese authorities are carrying out a campaign of forcible assimilation against religious minorities”, according to MarketWatch and the Wall Street Journal. The showroom is located in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. It started operations on December 31, 2021, according to a Tesla Weibo post. The company posted: “On the last day of 2021, we meet in Xinjiang. In 2022, let us together launch Xinjiang on its electric journey!” The grand opening ceremony for the showroom included “traditional Chinese lion dances” and Chinese citizens posting with signs that said “Tesla (heart) Xinjiang,” the report said. Meanwhile, nearby to the grand opening ceremony is the area where…

Watchman: Yes, Donald Trump Was a Flawed Man but His Sins Are Minor Compared to Those of His Persecutors

HNewsWire: Tucker has delivered an epic tour de force condemning the Deep State, which over the past 6 years has been focused solely on one goal: to put away the one person who stands in its way, and in the way of countless neocons and war profiteers from attaining their trillions in deadly spoils: Donald Trump. Despite a ‘cease and desist’ order from Fox News, Tucker Carlson is back tonight with the 3rd episode of his ‘Tucker on Twitter’ show. After over 115 million views on his first and almost 60 million on his second, tonight’s discussion of the indictment of former president Trump is sure to be the most widely viewed news of the day (despite CNN/MSNBC’s euphoria at the day’s events).

Watchman Believes Christian Will Die By Living for Christ Soon, Tribulation In Play!

By StevieRay Hansen | June 15, 2024

HNewsWire: As a follower of Christ, you won’t be terrified of death since you know you’ll be spending eternity in Heaven when your time comes. Inevitably, our hearts break when we lose a loved one; we mourn them dearly and wish they hadn’t gone on. However, after death, believers will enter a paradise that surpasses this world in beauty. What motivates you every day, then? If you believe, as you claim you do, that “For me, to live is money,” then death means giving up all you value. If “to live” means “fame” to you, then “to die” means “to be forgotten.” If you believe, as some do, that “to live is power,” then death represents a complete loss of that power. If, on the other hand, you might say, “For me, to live is Christ,” then you could also declare…

Watchman: We Need to Be Well-Grounded Know the Difference Between the Truth and a Lie

I am not going to give a prediction concerning when Christ will return. The Bible clearly instructs us in Matthew 24:36 that we would only be guessing, for no man knows the day or the hour. Many have predicted exact dates concerning the latter days, only to find themselves one of many who have been in error. This has allowed the doubters of the world to grow in number, while those who understand what will eventually happen to this world find themselves discredited. Our faith tells us what events take place, but we do not know when. One thing we do know is that this world is growing in lawlessness…

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.
