Globalists planned the impending “food armageddon” YEARS ago
|
|
It might seem that the current calamities facing our country and world are all coincidentally occurring simultaneously as a byproduct of government “incompetence,” but do not be fooled: It was all planned out by these cretins years ago for such a time as this.
That Rockefeller Foundation document we recently told you about offers a mere glimpse into what the globalists have had planned for the world, probably for many decades or even longer.
Mass starvation is in the works as part of the “Reset the Table” initiative, which aligns with the so-called “Great Reset” initiative outlined by World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab. Like the now-demolished Georgia Guidestones long foretold, they want a planet comprised of far fewer people than currently exist, and they want it now.
The current food shortages and corresponding inflation, perhaps needless to say, are no accident. Part of how they plan to reduce the world’s population is by depriving people of access to healing, nourishing food. Instead, they want a much smaller human herd eating bugs and fake GMO (genetically engineered) “meat” from the likes of Bill Gates.
The war in Ukraine is just a cover, as was the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic, to deconstruct the current world order and replace it with a brand new one: population 500 million. They also like to use the excuse of “climate change” to disguise their true intentions for the world. (News Target) Read more here. |

- Lord, as I read this article, I sense You are laughing (Ps. 2:4) at these evil plans of man/satan to decimate the world’s population through plague and famine. We also believe that You are toppling this modern-day Tower of Babel—the World Economic Forum. Thank you, Father, that You are in process of “resetting” this group of fools--You have exposed the perpetrators and their plans. We say "NO" to mass starvation, inflation and plague and ask for Your supernatural power to work through Your people in multiplying food for the needy and healing for the sick. May You be lifted up and multitudes harvested in the valley of decision. Good Shepherd, lead us through the valley of the shadow of death.

1. Biden to demand Israel give Ukraine Iron Dome system, US officials hint - World Israel News
The U.S. is urging Israel to offer Ukraine military aid for the war against Russia, American officials said Wednesday, hinting that the Biden administration may press Jerusalem to transfer the Iron Dome missile defense system to Ukraine.
President Joe Biden is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid in Jerusalem Thursday morning, kicking off the second day of Biden’s visit to Israel.
While the two leaders are expected to discuss Iran and efforts to achieve a breakthrough in nuclear deal talks in Vienna, U.S. officials told reporters Wednesday that Biden will also use his meeting with Lapid to request that Israel offer military aid to Kyiv. (Read more)

2. US, UAE, India, and Israel hold historic I2U2 summit - Israel Hayom
The leaders of the United States, India, Israel and the United Arab Emirates on Thursday held their first virtual summit as part of a new initiative that's being called the I2U2, a collection of countries that have pledged greater collaboration.
The idea was hatched last year in Washington, at the home of the UAE. ambassador, according to Prime Minister Yair Lapid.
"We sat around the table and spoke about how, after we get control over the pandemic, anyone trying to go back to how things used to be would fail," Lapid said. "Anyone who understands that we live in a new world with new challenges would succeed and flourish." (Read more)

4. Palestinian factions urge Abbas to call off meeting with Biden - Jerusalem Post
The call came in response to The Jerusalem US-Israel Strategic Partnership Declaration, which was signed on Thursday between Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Biden.
Palestinian radical factions on Thursday called on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to cancel his meeting with US President Joe Biden on Friday in protest of Washington’s “bias” in favor of Israel.
The meeting between Abbas and Biden is scheduled to take place in Bethlehem on Friday.
A senior Palestinian official in Ramallah expressed outrage over the signing of the Israeli-US declaration but said Friday’s meeting would not be canceled.
“What’s left to talk about with the Palestinians after such a declaration?” the official asked. “This declaration proves that the Palestinian issue is not at the top of the Biden administration’s list of priorities. It also shows that the US administration is more interested in strengthening Israel’s security and promoting normalization with the Arab countries at the expense of the Palestinians.” (Read more)

1. National security THREAT: Gov. Kristi Noem warns Biden regime not to allow China to buy up U.S. farmland, food production facilities -NewsTarget
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem blasted President Joe Biden anew over his administration’s lack of an effective policy regarding the nation’s food supply.
Noem in particular lashed out at Biden for allowing foreign adversaries to buy up massive amounts of American farmland.
“I have been talking about food security as a national security issue for about 15 years now, being involved in farming and ranching,” she told Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM. “I was very young when I started working on federal policy, because the United States has always embraced a policy where we believed it was important to grow our own food in this country, and I’m a strong believer that when another country controls our food supply, that’s when they truly control us.”
“If we think a pandemic was scary, wait until we realize that we can’t put food on the grocery store shelves because China controls the entire system, and what most of America hasn’t been paying attention to, is that China — for years — has been buying up our chemical companies, our fertilizer companies, our processing systems, and now they’re buying land, and we have foreign countries that are heavily invested in that entire supply system,” she continued.
“We are losing control of the ability to feed our people and that’s what is challenging us today,” the GOP governor noted further. “We finally are waking up to that, but it is going to be a serious situation that this administration needs to recognize they have a huge role in, and all they’ve done is strengthen our enemies and given them more ability to control our food supply which puts us in a very precarious situation as a country.” (Read more) |
|
|
- Father, bless Your daughter, Governor Noem, who is sounding the alarm on the treachery of other countries against the American food supply chain. May we respond with a vigorous opposition to every other nation and even malign corporations that intends to gobble up our great resources and bring us to our knees. We pray for our boundaries to be restored to sovereignty and wisdom to our government, in Jesus name.
- "'Now, therefore,' says the Lord, 'Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.'" (Joel 2:12)

2. Inflation Hits 9.1 Percent in June, New 40-Year High – The Epoch Times
Surging costs of fuel, housing, and food were major contributors to high inflation last month
The U.S. annual inflation rate climbed to 9.1 percent in June, reaching its highest level since November 1981 and topping the market estimate of 8.8 percent and May’s annual rate of 8.6 percent. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS), the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.3 percent month-over-month. The monthly inflation also was higher than economists’ expectations of 1.1 percent. While the core inflation rate, which removes the volatile food and energy sectors, eased to 5.9 percent, that was higher than the forecast of 5.7 percent. On a monthly basis, core inflation rose at a higher-than-expected pace of 0.7 percent.
Food prices soared by 10.4 percent, while the energy index advanced by 41.6 percent. (Read more) |

- Oh Holy One, these times are very troubling and we bind the causes and plots for this crushing inflation.

3. The Inflation Monster That Our Leaders Have Created Is Voraciously Eating Away Our Standard Of Living – The Economic Collapse Blog
The purchasing power of the dollar is not nearly as strong as it once was, and as a result our standard of living is rapidly going down. The overall rate of inflation has been rising faster than our paychecks have been for quite a while, and this is causing a tremendous amount of pain for millions of U.S. consumers. Unfortunately, this isn’t going to change any time soon. The inflation monster that our leaders have created will continue to rage even as our economy plunges into a severe recession. I relentlessly warned that the trillions of dollars that our leaders were pumping into the system would cause enormous problems down the road, and now we are trapped in an economic nightmare with no easy way out.
On Wednesday, we learned that the rate of inflation in the United States jumped even higher last month. Shoppers paid sharply higher prices for a variety of goods in June as inflation kept its hold on a slowing U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
The consumer price index, a broad measure of everyday goods and services related to the cost of living, soared 9.1% from a year ago, above the 8.8% Dow Jones estimate. That marked the fastest pace for inflation going back to November 1981.
Of course the way that inflation is calculated today is much different from the way that it was calculated back in the 1980s. If the way that inflation was calculated had not been changed, the official inflation rate would be much higher right now.
But even if you want to take the 9.1 percent figure at face value, it is still extremely high, and last month energy and food prices were two of the main reasons why we witnessed such a dramatic surge… Right now we are seeing rapid price increases in almost aisle of the grocery store… (Read more) |

- Abba, we turn to You in this time of distress and we sense that this is only the beginning. We ask You to obstruct the destruction being wreaked over this nation and the world, with Your righteousness. This is a man-made and controlled global crisis that can be stopped as easily as it was started, so we ask You O King, to raise up the men and women of courage and strength who will act decisively to turn the tables on this march towards globalism, in Jesus name.
- "'Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One who is faithful.'" (Hosea 11:12)

4. 62,000 Unvaccinated Guards, Reserve Soldiers Facing Loss of Pay as Army Prepares to Enforce Vaccine Mandate – The Epoch Times
About 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 reserve soldiers will be blocked from service for rejecting the COVID vaccines, U.S. Army officials said on July 8.
“Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands,” an Army spokesperson told Military.com.
The deadline for the Defense Department’s vaccination mandate passed at midnight on June 30. The order cuts off pay and some of the military benefits to the 62,000 service members.
Retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general Tom McInerney criticized the Biden administration’s vaccination mandates. “Why would the army do that when the survival rate of their age group is [extremely high]?” McInerney told The Epoch Times. (Read more) |

- Heavenly Father, we lift up our National Guard and Reserve Soldiers to you. We ask that you protect them from losing their pay and benefits due to rejecting a covid-19 vaccine. We pray you meet the needs of every Soldier with your mercy and blessings, as they weather this storm. Amen.

5. European Union FINALLY admits COVID-19 vaccines DESTROY your immune system – Pandemic.news
The European Union (EU) has finally admitted that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines destroy the immune system and make people more susceptible not just to COVID but to all diseases.
According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), taking booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccines every four months could weaken the immune system and tire people out.
Despite this revelation, the EU is still recommending that people take COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. What the EMA wants to change is the time in between booster doses.
“[Boosters] can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly,” said Marco Cavaleri, the EMA’s head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy. “We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.” (Read more) |
|
- Holy God, thank you for revealing the truth by the European Union that the covid-19 vaccines destroy the immune system. We look to you, the Great Physician, to cure any adverse reactions to our immune systems, and heal us of any complications the vaccine has created. In Jesus name. Amen.
- "He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction." (Psalms 107:20)

6. Biden admin sets up Justice Department ‘task force’ to police, challenge pro-life laws – Lifesite News
'The Justice Department is committed to protecting access to reproductive services,' Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said in a statement. The Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday announced the launch of a “reproductive rights task force” to police states’ pro-life laws.
The DOJ task force will monitor states’ abortion restrictions to prevent “overreach,” and consider legal challenges against additional protections for the unborn, including bans on abortion-inducing drugs and laws preventing women from traveling out of state to kill their unborn babies, The Washington Post reported.
“The Justice Department is committed to protecting access to reproductive services,” Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said in a statement, according to the Post.
The move to establish a task force for policing state’s pro-life laws comes after the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which reversed 49 years of federal abortion precedent by overturning Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). [Read more] |

- Holy Father God, we know you care about unborn children. At this point in time it seems the Administration is more invested in abortion as a method of birth control for rampant promiscuity. Please God help us all. Amen.
- "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;" (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5)

7. Battle lines emerge over out-of-state abortion – The Hill
New battle lines are emerging around the issue of interstate travel for abortion, as a confusing patchwork of state and federal rules materializes in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
No state currently bans women from obtaining an out-of-state abortion. But conservative lawmakers in a handful of GOP-led states where abortion is banned or restricted have floated measures that would penalize those involved — even tangentially — in helping someone access the procedure in another state.
Other red state restrictions have already had a chilling effect on doctors prescribing abortion pills across state lines.
At the other end of the political spectrum, several blue states have taken steps to become abortion safe havens, saying they would refuse to cooperate with red-state investigations into cross-border abortion cases. Meanwhile, the Justice Department (DOJ), is digging in for a fight, vowing to draw on federal legal authority to protect women who seek an abortion in states where it is legal. (Read more) |

- Father God, Prof. Cohen of Drexel University zeroes in on the heart of the matter by stating: “There are so many different permutations of what can happen here [re out of state abortions] that it could go to the Supreme Court many different times.” In the natural this seems very true, and we pray that the right to an abortion issue would come before the court as many times as needed to render abortion illegal anywhere in this nation. However, we know, Abba, that You are not limited to “natural means” but can do anything supernaturally. We pray above all that You would change hearts in revival to such a degree that there would no longer be anyone seeking to destroy life in the womb. Lord, we declare and decree that Your commands supersede any earthly court order or ruling.

8. California once again experiencing massive port congestion, number of ships waiting to dock approaching record highs – NewsTarget
In a sign that the supply chain crisis was never fully resolved, the number of container ships waiting to offload their goods at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are approaching record highs set last year.
In late October last year, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach experienced record-breaking port congestion, with many container ships having to wait over a week before they can dock and offload their goods.
As of Monday, July 11, the Port of Long Beach broke the record it set last year for the number of import containers sitting in Long Beach terminals for nine days or more. There were 28,723 such containers in the port, nine percent higher than the record set in late Oct. 2021.
In Los Angeles, there were 33,999 import containers sitting in the port’s terminals for nine days or more. This is up by 20 percent over the past 12 days. The last time the Port of Los Angeles had this many import containers dwelling for nine days or more was on Nov. 18, 2021. (Read more) |
|
- Lord God, You know what is at the root of this horrendous backlog of container ships waiting to off-load their goods, plus the containers already in port going nowhere. We ask that You “Break the Dam”; and as ships dock, may they find fueled up trucks ready to load and safely head to their intended destinations. Uncover the root causes and show us how to pray, Lord.
- "... and David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.” (1 Chronicles 14:11b)

9. Biden May Choose Salmon Above Americans Which Will Jeopardize Power Supplies in the Pacific Northwest – The Gateway Pundit
The Biden administration continues its ridiculous push for climate change reform, this time choosing salmon over you and still reducing green energy output.
This week the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recommended breaching dams on the Snake River to ensure the survival of endangered salmon.
The move would most likely jeopardize power supplies in the Pacific Northwest and worsen the supply chain crisis.
A Monday draft report from NOAA suggested that four lower Snake River dams should be breached to decrease travel time for salmon. It cited that the move would also reduce stress on juvenile fish and encounters with powerhouses. (Read more) |
|
|
- Mighty King, we put this agency, NOAA, and their propaganda under Your feet, in Jesus name. We pray for the local fish and wildlife management agencies to have a strong and powerful voice and bless them for the ways in which they have been following the salmon returns for many years. Due to their research and study, we know that these dams are not obstructing the salmon returns, so we bind the mouths of these controlling agencies and command their words to fall like ashes to the ground, in Jesus name.
- "I said in my heart, 'God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'" (Ecclesiastes 3:17)

Insanity
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, July 14, 2022
Back in the day when I was growing up on the farm in Ohio, nonsense, stupidity and insanity were not tolerated. There were ways to deal with each, the insanity usually resulted in separation from society until the mental health of the person was healed. Today, we elect them to public office and let them run society into the dirt. Today there is a toleration for almost every form of nonsense, stupidity and insanity. Think about it. We have Planned Parenthood wanting to evangelize transgenderism in school children—and I’m sure there are school systems and parents dumb enough to allow it. We have a US Senator saying that Pregnancy Care Centers should be shut down because they torture pregnant people. Lunacy!
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a former failed presidential candidate, refuses to recognize pregnant women because she believes that all genders can get pregnant. In fact, so do a lot of these twisted crazies. They also are of the ilk that want to promote that there are dozens of different genders or sexual orientations—and they want to indoctrinate our children to be accepting of them or even be one of them. These pro-abortion activists are also crazy. Yes, crazy. They are out there marching and protesting and stalking judges for the non-existent “right” to kill their babies in the womb. And they are radical about it. Some religious denominations are saying it is a biblical right. I guess all the verses and context of the Bible that stress choosing life, having it more abundantly, and God knowing you before you were born have no meaning. Read More

Why Biden Could Come Back from Saudi Arabia Empty-Handed
|
|
|
|
·
Biden is set to travel to Saudi Arabia this week to plead his case for additional oil output.
The trip may end in disappointment as Middle East producers have very little capacity to spare.
A razor-thin global capacity cushion would make supply shocks even more shocking to the market.
As U.S. President Joe Biden travels on his first visit to the Middle East this week, he and his team will make the case for the need for additional oil supply to the market. The Middle East is just the right place to go when oil supply is concerned. Unfortunately for President Biden and for consumers in America and elsewhere, the biggest oil producers in the Middle East have very little to offer in the short term to alleviate the pain at the pump. Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest crude oil exporter, may not have the capacity and/or the willingness to tap deeper into capacity despite the continuous calls from major oil-consuming nations.
The top OPEC producers, all of which are in the Middle East, have some spare oil production capacity left, but the actual numbers are shrouded in mystery, and analysts are only guesstimating how much oil Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) could add to the market if they wanted to.

Hundreds of truckers protest AB5 at Southern California’s busiest ports
|
|
|
Some California truckers turned off their trucks, blocked terminals or staged slow rolls to snarl traffic around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach Wednesday to express frustration over a controversial state law, AB5, that seeks to limit the use of independent contractors and largely classify them as employee drivers.
Rachel Campbell, media relations manager at the Port of Los Angeles, said there was “no disruption of terminal activity.” “Los Angeles Port Police will assist in making sure all parties are able to express their First Amendment rights while also making sure the Port continues to operate safely and commerce continues to flow,” Campbell said in a statement to FreightWaves.
However, news stations showed traffic jammed for miles because of the AB5 protest.
Some motor carriers that serve the ports of LA and Long Beach say despite their efforts to encourage truckers to become employee drivers, many independent owner-operators continue to refuse. “Many of the port truckers who are independent owner-operators are first- and second-generation Americans who want to be their own bosses and dream of owning their own businesses,” said Gordon Reimer, manager of Southern California-based FHE Express.
Many of the 75 owner-operators his company uses to serve the ports have turned down FHE’s requests to make them employee drivers, Reimer said. “Today’s actions by frustrated owner-operators at the California ports is a clear cry for help,” Reimer told FreightWaves. “It takes courage to park your truck and take a stand against a state intent on ending your ability to earn a living — California’s AB5 is just that.” (Freight Ways)

- Heavenly Father, we ask for your grace and favor upon the truckers who provide the lifeline to our familiy and business needs. We come against the Bill (AB5) and the intent to impose control over their livelihoods as independent contractors. Let justice and righteousness prevail by Your almighty hand. May this restrictive and manipulative legislation be overturned. In the name of Jesus we pray.

Mercy and truth go before You." (Psalm 89:14)

Senators are close to releasing a bill to stop candidates from stealing elections
|
|
|
|
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of senators has agreed on a series of provisions to reform the Electoral Count Act, a move aimed at clarifying the role of the vice president and Congress in confirming the winner of a presidential election in the wake of Jan. 6. The working group is finalizing legislation and expects to release text as early as next week.
“We’re very close. We’ve got a few technical issues that we need to iron out, and I’m very hopeful that we’ll have a bill early next week — or bills,” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told reporters Wednesday. “That’s one of the issues that we’re deciding: whether it’s better to introduce more than one bill or one bill.”
The working group met Wednesday afternoon to hash out the remaining issues and are close to a deal they hope both parties can support. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have both blessed the bipartisan talks aimed at closing loopholes in election law. And Collins anticipates broad support for what they introduce, saying the group has gotten input from the transition councils of both former President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama’s administrations.
The Senate election group has agreed to clarify the law to make clear the vice president cannot unilaterally reject electors and to raise the threshold for members of Congress to object from the current rule of one member of the House and Senate. They also plan to amend the presidential transition rules to provide essential resources to both major candidates in cases of a close or contested election. The group has also discussed including other provisions.
“We gained consensus on presidential transition, the Electoral Count Act, the responsibility of the vice president about certification proceedings,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told NBC News.
Tillis said the group has also worked on protecting “voter access” — a demand of many Democrats — largely by affirming and emphasizing existing law. He didn’t offer more details.
"We've got a substantial base where we agree. We've eliminated the things where we couldn't find common ground," he said.
. . . It's unclear when the Senate might vote on the package.
Tillis said that's up to Schumer. He added that a vote in the lame-duck session after the Nov. 8 midterm election was a possibility with legislative days running short.
Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said he wants to see votes after the month-long August recess but before the November election.
"That's the hope," he said. (NBC News) Read more here.

- Father God, whenever Congress begins addressing changes to our voting laws, it is time to pray. We ask that each member of the committees that are working to revamp Election Law -- especially in light of the event of January 6th -- be graced only with YOUR wisdom in doing so. Let not the plans of man interfere with what is actually best for the health of our nation and the integrity of our election laws, in Your name, Holy One, amen and amen.
- "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)

US tourist, 23, falls into Mount Vesuvius after selfie gone wrong
|
|
|
The tourist entered a forbidden area before attempting to snap a breathtaking image, but the photo that is going viral is one of the aftermath of his fall into the infamous volcano instead.
A group of tourists, including Philip Carroll, a 23-year-old American man from Baltimore, snuck up to the top of Italy's Mount Vesuvius through a forbidden area to take pictures this past Saturday, according to NBC News.
As Carroll tried to take a selfie, he dropped his phone into the mouth of the dangerous volcanic crater.
When Carroll went to retrieve the phone, he slipped and fell several meters, leaving him with significant scrapes and cuts along his back before he was able to regain his balance. However, Carroll had fallen deep enough into the volcano that he needed the help of rescuers to escape.
"This morning a tourist for reasons still to be determined, together with his family they ventured on a forbidden path, arrived on the edge of the crater and fell into the mouth of #Vesuvius," Gennaro Lametta, an official at Assoturismo Campania, an Italian tourism company, said in Facebook post on July 9.

Is the Holy Spirit Devising a Bigger Plan than Anyone Imagined?
|
|
As we watch the rollout of the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" plan, the transhumanist movement, talk about upgrading humans "into gods," and emerging technologies that could be precursors to the mark of the beast, we believe God is working a bigger plan than anyone has imagined. First, consider the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling overturning the landmark decision Roe v. Wade, concluding that there is no constitutional right to an abortion in America. And while the global situation appears dark, with soaring inflation and gas prices, skyrocketing levels of a debt and a possible recession, hope is growing not only for a miraculous turnaround in the political sphere later this year and in the 2024 presidential election, but also in the spiritual realm.
While the devil is waging an all-out assault on the body of Christ, knowing his time is short, many faith leaders are expressing optimism that we may be witnessing signs of the beginning of a powerful Holy Spirit-led spiritual awakening that many believe will usher countless millions into the kingdom of God in the months and years ahead. "This is a time for warriors," Robin D. Bullock said on "The Eleventh Hour" video on May 3. "It's a time for warriors to fight like they've never fought before. Someone may say, 'Yes, but we see victory on the horizon.' Yes, we see victory on the horizon, but that does not mean that everything is over and settled. Once you stand, and having done all, and defeated all, then you stand, ready to defeat the next wave.
"For there is going to be now great pushback, 'but you stand,' says the Lord, 'for now it has begun,' and the dam is breaking, and the fire is burning through the map, and it will burn it all the way out as it goes, for this is that time. It's the time prayed for. It's the time waited for. It's the time that men have fasted and prayed for. This is that time and now you have lived to see it. You've lived to be in it." So, yes, just as there was hope in Isaiah and Jesus' day, there is hope today, and the hope largely rests with the remnant of believers who are arising as warriors to help bring in what Regeneration Nashville Pastor Kent Christmas described at The Renewal: Restoring America's Founding Covenant as the "final harvest."

Jesus Blessed Jesus

Words and Music: Charles Gabriel
Scripture: He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5
Lyrics:
There’s One who can comfort when all else fails,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
A Savior who saves tho’ the foe assails,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
Once He traveled the way we go,
Felt the pangs of deceit and woe;
Who more perfectly then can know,
Than Jesus, blessèd Jesus?
He heareth the cry of the soul distressed,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
He healeth the wounded, He giveth rest,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
When from loved ones we’re called to part,
When the tears in our anguish start,
None can comfort the breaking heart,
Like Jesus, blessèd Jesus.
He never forsakes in the darkest hour,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
His arm is around us with keeping power,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
When we enter the shadow land,
When at Jordan we trembling stand,
He will meet us with outstretched hand,
This Jesus, blessèd Jesus.
What joy it will be when we see His face,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus;
Forever to sing of His love and grace,
Jesus, blessèd Jesus:
There at home on that shining shore,
With the loved ones gone on before,
We will praise Him forevermore,
Our Jesus, blessèd Jesus.
