Murderers can’t kill a soul and they didn’t kill Charlie Kirk’s, but they did poke a sleeping Giant and rouse a nation of Saints.
From the moment this country was born I gave it My all. I’ll never let it fall to the enemy of your soul. Look up, your redemption draws nigh. – Rhema Word
Our hearts may be broken today, but watch how our Sovereign brings good out of what the enemy intended for bad through the army that arises in righteous indignation and with a Godly militant Spirit that turns the tide. It’s already happening.
I’m just one and in my anguish and anger I prayed the Lord would raise up hundreds if not thousands or millions of Charlie’s all across this country, and praise God, the YouTube message attached was confirmation and comfort.
We may feel gutted, but God wasn’t taken by surprise.
Watch and pray and see what I will do.
Just watch.

We have heard it with our ears, O God; our ancestors have told us what You did in their days, in days long ago. With Your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors; You crushed the peoples and made our ancestors flourish. It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was Your right hand, your arm, and the light of Your face, for You loved them.
You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for *Christians* Through You we push back our enemies; through Your name we trample our foes. I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but You give us victory over our enemies, You put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise Your name forever.
A self-proclaimed Bishop in Aurora, Illinois offers alternative weddings to the homosexual community and screams on video at a group of elderly Christians that Jesus was never born!, as well as offensive slurs and profanity that belie the loosely used title.
Not only was Jesus born- prophetic fulfilment foretold hundreds of years prior to His arrival- there are approx. 400 years between Old and New Testament -a fact documented outside of the Bible. His crucifixion and resurrection as well.
Jesus died for humanity screaming like Banshees in denial, and all humanity in fact, a supernatural display of love, strength, and power that defies and supersedes any act of sacrifice by any human being that ever lived. Or ever will.
God bless us to be careful and prayerful not to allow non-believers derail or upset us and cause us to treat them in kind, no matter how offensive or evil. They’re unaware they desperately need us to intercede and pray for their souls, just as we needed someone to pray for us. They have no idea the beautiful heights of Heaven nor the love of Jesus that defies imagination and human origin.
The truth is we’ve been given all the evidence we could possibly need to make the case for the validity of the Word of God. No one will be able to say, I didn’t know.

Non-Christian Historical Data
Today, many people doubt that Jesus was a real person who walked on Earth some 2,000 years ago.1 Before fact-checking, I found myself originally belonging to this group. However, to my surprise, many scholars, both Christian and non-Christian, agree today that Jesus was at least a real historical person.2 Within a few decades of his life (a very short period for ancient historical figures), renowned non-Christian scholars confirmed the historicity of Jesus.
These were reputable and reliable historians of ancient times. They were non-Christians. Ironically, by criticizing or attacking Jesus, they provided some of the most convincing extrabiblical records that testify to the historical existence of Jesus twenty centuries ago.
“Islam will take over the world and there’s nothing you can do about it,” said the Muslim via social media, no doubt speaking from the influence of his culture, perhaps fully convinced by trusted sources in his formative years.
As children, many of us believe in Santa Clause because the source of truth we trust above all others fools us he’s real and further deceives with gifts on Christmas morning. For a time, we fully believe a lie that influences our perception of truth.
We’re sent to school, a heretofore trusted entity, and we believe the information we’re taught are facts based on credible sources; i.e., recorded history, scholars, esteemed scientists. We’re taught our origins are rooted in the theory of evolution and for a time, we may believe a lie that shapes our perception of truth.
Many of us are taught to believe in various religions. We’re influenced by those we trust implicitly and automatically believe what they believe, thus often adopting their truth as our own, even if atheism. For a time, we perhaps believe a lie that becomes our perception of truth.
We all live out of our truths, and those truths are perceptions that become the framework for how we live, the choices we make and the people we become. But if there’s no definitive source, truth is subjective and what we’re influenced to believe as impressionable children, or convinced to believe as reasoning adults, often becomes the guiding force that shapes our lives.
So if we’re truly deceived, how do we know?
“There are many things we can get wrong in this life and still survive, this isn’t one of them,” a very wise man once shared, speaking to Christianity. “The biggest mistake any of us can ever make is viewing God through the lens of humanity; people can get it wrong and perhaps often do, God never has and He never will. Go to the Source.”
If truth is subjective, we can all choose our god like we choose our cereal; strictly personal preference. But if truth is a fixed reality and our lives depend upon finding it, we must seek an irrefutable source that is untainted by human error and uncompromised by fallible human wisdom.
There’s a world of difference between head knowledge and revelation knowledge. I was taught Christianity as a child and so believed, but I personally encountered the Sovereign God of the Bible as an adult and so became enlightened. Hubris became experience and experience the revelation that became certainty. I finally knew definitively what I’d only believed.
“You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.”
The one thing that sets Jesus Christ apart from all prophets and gods and solidifies His Divinity is His resurrection; without that, Christianity is just another box of religion on the shelf of life. Those dead religions may appeal to our senses, but they’re counterfeits that will lead us astray, rob intimate Relationship with our Godhead while stealing our destiny, and ultimately destroy our soul.
Challenges to foundational truths are as old as time. We see it at the outset of humanity when the lying serpent slithered into The Garden and whispered into Eve’s mind, causing her to question the goodness of her Creator Father God, outright lie she won’t die as warned, and entice her with the sin of pride.
We see it in Genesis in the recorded Biblical history of Ishmael and Isaac. Ishmael, the son of a slave and result of fallible reasoning; Isaac, the son of an esteemed wife and gifted by Divine Promise. Thus, we have the ancient origins of Islam and the prophetic New Covenant and lineage of Christ Jesus; one an illegitimate counterfeit, the other Divine Providence.
The story is a fascinating portent as it fleshes out the dichotomy between natural and Spiritual and explains the deception of Islam today:
“Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. (He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers). But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.”
Abraham loved his sons dearly, just as he loved his wife and cared about Hagar’s welfare, surrogate mother of Ismael. He petitioned God from that place of love, angst, and concern and God responded. All of them were blessed and the Promise kept just as decreed and proclaimed, because our Sovereign is a good Father and a great God. He loves all His children equally, meets us where we are (situations & level of understanding), and answers our prayers with love, wisdom, justice and grace.
Still, not all have the same destiny and mission in life: “But My covenant I will establish with Isaac.”
Sovereignty denotes supremacy- no one above and none higher. His is the final word and He the final authority. His Word is infallible, proven, and true. Jesus wasn’t a mere prophet, He was Son of the Living God made flesh, King of the Jews and Savior of the world. The only avenue to salvation, relationship, and eternal life, His is the only Name that breeches the Spiritual divide. There may be many prophets, but there’s only one Son and Savior.
Free will is a beautiful gift and weighty responsibility. We’re all free to choose, none free to choose consequences.
“Salvation is God’s work. At the same time, our motives, desires, and actions are voluntary, and we are rightly held responsible for them.”
Which brings us full circle.
Islam may very well one day take over the world, but it’s still just another counterfeit perception that will never save a soul nor take anyone to Heaven. And there’s nothing Muslims or anyone can do about that except seek the only reliable Source of enlightenment free of human error and the tradition of mere men.
Thank You for mothers, for the hands that hold, the hearts that carry, and the quiet strength that shapes generations.
You’ve woven something eternal into a mother’s love. It forgives before it’s asked. It fights without fear. It gives without asking for anything in return.
It is fierce. It is gentle. It is holy.
We see You, Lord… in the way a mother stays when others leave, in the way she prays when no one sees, in the way she loves when it costs her everything.
“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” (Proverbs 31:28)
So today, we rise up… To honor the mothers who raised us, who believed in us, who sacrificed so we could stand.
We pray for the weary mothers… carrying more than they let on. Refresh them.
We pray for the grieving mothers… with names written on their hearts instead of in their arms. Comfort them.
We pray for the new mothers… wide-eyed and wonder-filled. Strengthen them.
We pray for the spiritual mothers… who love like Christ and lead with wisdom. Bless them.
And we pray for those who long to be mothers… waiting, hoping, aching. Hold them close, Lord.
Let every mother feel seen and loved today… Not just with flowers or words but with the peace of knowing that their love has eternal weight.
May they know that what they do matters… That every prayer whispered, every tear shed, every act of faith, every late night, every early morning. You’ve seen it all.
Let them rest in Your joy. Let them rise in Your strength. Let them walk in the legacy they are building— one child, one prayer, one day at a time.
Because a mother’s love is not ordinary it’s a glimpse of Yours.
And we thank You for every one of them.
In the name of Jesus, the Son who loved His mother from the cross,
You’re now angrier at the poor people chasing a lie than the people who created the fable for them to believe in.
Adam B. Coleman
They want foreign nationals teased about having an “American Dream” who will never achieve it because it would hurt their donors’ bottom line. I believe the “pathway to citizenship” discussion was meant to be the next wedge issue that will never be resolved, but every politician could run on pretending that they care about their manufactured underclass.
“It’s really you they’re after, I’m just standing in the way.” -Donald Trump
May Sovereign God in Jesus’ name be pleased to champion the cause of His people all across the globe. And when He does, may we be very careful to give Him the praise and glory even as we in America give honor to President Trump for his tenacious grit and fight, and not so trifling, his love and loyalty to country and fellowman.
Thank you President Trump!

In the first chapter of Romans, the wrath of God is revealed against distortions of God that culminate in various religious practices called idolatry. God is by no means always pleased with the operations and functions that we call religion. I would say that Christianity first and foremost is not a religion, even though we use that term to describe it from a sociological perspective.
The term religion describes human practices—practices of worship, of cultic involvement, of belief in a god, and of obeying certain rules that come from the god or gods. There are various kinds of religions in this world.
There is a religious aspect to Christianity. We do worship, and we are involved in certain human activities, such as prayer and Bible studies and devotions. Our religious practices are similar to the practices of other religions. But Christianity is much more than a religion; it’s life.
It’s relationship. (emphasis addded).
The very fact that a person is religious does not necessarily mean that he is pleasing God; the primordial sin of man is idolatry, and idolatry is the worship of something that, in fact, is not God. The worship of idols involves the practice of religion. This is exactly what Romans 1 is speaking about; God is not pleased by any and all types of religious activity. Our religious activity may at times be insulting to God. Christianity itself can degenerate into being merely a religion; that is, it can have the external formal activities and sociological practices without the substance that motivates all these things—a profound love and devotion to God himself and a profound trust in Christ’s work.
This is how people from east to west will come to respect the name and honor the glory of the Eternal. For He will come on like a torrential flood driven by the Eternal’s winds. Eternal One:The Redeemer will come to make Zion right again, to rescue those of Jacob’s holy line who turn their backs on wrongdoing. This is what the Eternal One declares. Eternal One:This is My covenant promise to them: My Spirit, which rests on and moves in you, and My words, which I have placed within you, will continue to be spoken among you and move you to action. And not only you, but so it will be for your children and their children too. And so on through the generations for all time.
Why have destructive ideas become so contagious? Evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad and PragerU CEO Marissa Streit discuss why humans engage in maladaptive behaviors, why universities are the breeding grounds for bad ideas, and what are the best ways to achieve true happiness.
The human condition is actually quite fascinating. It was interesting to listen in on Dr. Saad’s discussion about the woke mind virus that has infected so many human beings and the evolution of mindsets based on societal flux and influence
As a Christian, I obviously don’t believe in the religion of theorized evolution; however, we can all agree to disagree and still learn something from the civil discourse and/or alternative viewpoint.
First seek to understand, then seek to be understood.
When I accepted Christ as Savior and Lord, I naturally began to read and study the Bible and immediately noted many Scriptures taught what is often rewritten and attributed to those of high intellect and/or manmade gods and religions. I’ll let the irony of that fall where it may. And prayerfully enlightenment.
I sincerely hope and pray those of us who need to, get the revelation how easily we can all be manipulated by evil if we remain in a stubborn and unwitting state, unwilling and so unable to see beyond the twisted cuneiform of what passes for truth in the current state of societal flux where in a time of universal deceit, telling truth has indeed become a revolutionary act.
Bless the Lord for His unconditional love and inerrant truths, may our Sovereign in Jesus’ name soften hardened hearts and seared-over minds so that wisdom breaks through darkness and deception, resonating louder than feelings and human intellect.
What does it mean thatpeople will not endure sound doctrine?
The idea of “enduring” sound teaching has to do with “tolerating” it or putting up with it. In other words, people will refuse to listen to what is good and right. They will be intolerant of the truth.
The Greek word translated “doctrine” is simply referring to “teaching” or “instruction.” Often, teaching and instruction systematized is understood as doctrine. The Greek word translated as “sound” can also be understood as “healthy” or “free from error.”
Paul is warning Timothy that there will come a time when people will not desire to hear true or correct teaching—teaching that accords with reality. Instead, “they will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear”
It is important that we, as teachers and learners, heed the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 4:3. As teachers, we must teach sound doctrine, holding to the truths of Scripture regardless of the consequences. As learners, we must seek sound doctrine and receive it, if we are to live according to the truth. The learner’s desires must take a back seat to the truths of Scripture. Prayerfully, as the learner matures and is transformed by the renewing of the mind, his or her desires align more and more with the sound doctrine of Scripture.
Substituting Merit for DEI justified by Stakeholder Capitalism => Enshittification
Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. This process results in a significant deterioration of the user experience. A variety of platforms have been described as examples of this, including Airbnb, Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Netflix, Bandcamp, YouTube, Reddit, Uber, and Unity.
Forcing change has taken on many avenues since the current guard forced its way into the forefront on a global scale, wresting control in ways not granted by the free world, weaponizing governments and entities to silence all dissenting voices, fair means or foul; even, as witnessed by the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, obliterate those standing in opposition.
Broadly, Trump’s trial is societal travail under Sovereign surveil: all-seeing, limitless reach, matchless power under perfect control. For the wonder, the wondering, and the wanderers.
Troy Black is a Christian YouTuber, author, and prophetic voice. Prophecy @ 24 :24 “My sheep hear My voice and a stranger’s voice they will not follow.”
Amos 3:7 God has always warned of coming judgment in order that people may choose to change their behavior and avoid it. He warned Noah of the coming flood (Gen 6:13ff); Abraham and Lot of the future destruction of Sodom (Gen 18:17; 19:14); Joseph of the seven-year famine (Gen 41:30); Moses of the ten plagues on Egypt (Ex 7:1ff); Jonah of the destruction of Nineveh (Jon 1:2; 3:4); Amos of the downfall of Aram (Syria), Philistia, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah, and Israel (Amos 1 and 2).
Various prophets were told in advance about the captivities of the chosen people, and they came to pass because the warnings were disregarded. Jonah announced the destruction of Nineveh, but judgment was postponed following repentance.When later generations of Ninevites reverted to paganism and wickedness, the warning of Nahum was carried out against them.
Imagine; a 3400-year-old manuscript, writing our present like its already recorded history. There truly is nothing new under the sun– nothing that has been that won’t be again- nothing and no one outside the purview of our Sovereign Triune Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We can learn from history, or we can repeat it.
Reactions vary to the awful events that sweep over Judah in the wake of the Babylonian invasion. Some people think that the God of Israel is defeated. This is exactly what the Babylonians hope the people will think and say; it makes the job of the tyrants and their deputies that much easier. So when the prophet announces that Israel’s God can and will rescue His displaced people, many reason that God may want to rescue them but cannot, for He is no match for the might of Babylon. Others are apparently wondering if God simply couldn’t hear their cries for help in the first place. Is Babylon too powerful? Are the exiles too far from home to be heard? The prophet knows the fears that reside in anxious hearts; but more than that, he knows the truth.
“So, how can you know truth? You spend time reading and studying and meditating on Scripture. You learn what truth is by getting to know a person, Jesus Christ. As you do, you’ll find the most secure place for your trust and a foundation for life.“
I recall once experiencing a type of deep mourning for two individuals depicted in a movie based on their lives, the times, and the people and choices that soiled the relationship and ultimately ripped them apart for the rest of their lives.
At the end of his life, the female visited the gravesite of the male and within days, also passed away.
Their story impacted me so profoundly that for many days I literally couldn’t shake the sadness. Clearly, I heard the Lord say, “They had their time under the sun.”
If you’re ready to commit your life to Jesus, then pray this prayer:
“Dear Jesus, you have promised that if I believe in you, everything I’ve ever done wrong will be forgiven, and you will accept me into your eternal home in heaven one day.
“I confess my sin, and I receive you into my life as my Lord and Savior. I trust you when you say salvation comes by grace, through faith, and not by anything I do. Today I’m turning over every part of my life to your management.
“I’m grateful for your unconditional love. I want to use the rest of my life to love and serve you instead of serving myself. I commit my life to you and ask you to save me and accept me into your family. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
If you just prayed to accept Jesus, please email Rick@PastorRick.com and let me know. I’d like to send you some free materials to help you start your journey with Jesus.
I read somewhere recently, it is not an enemy who can betray, only a friend.
One, and merely one of the signs of the last days is mankind’s willingness to betray one another. And isn’t it more prevalent than you’ve ever seen, from the top down and in every area of life?
Facebook and Twitter (X) in particular have been exposed for their invasive if not outright criminal betrayal of America and fellowman; yet note, most free apps require access to more personal and private information than they have any reasonable business accessing.
With friends like that, who needs enemies? And yet, those abound as well!
As a side note, Trump was right. Again.
From fingerprints to filenames, here’s what TikTok knows about you…
When you agree to TikTok’s terms of service after downloading the app, you’re handing Communist China the keys to the kingdom. I dug up all the creepy things TikTok tracks and how it does it — plus, how to quickly find red flags in their terms and conditions.
Think the TikTok paranoia is overblown? It’s not. Here’s the laundry list of data you give up every time you scroll. It’s a lot:
Your name, age, username, email address, password, phone number and location.
Your IP address, cellphone carrier, time zone, the model of your device and its operating system.
Biometric identifiers, like facial IDs and voiceprints. Yep.
The content of your messages, along with when you send, receive and read them.
If you buy stuff from TikTok Shop, you’re giving up your purchase info, including your credit card number and billing and shipping addresses.
Your activities on other websites and apps (or in stores!), including, yep, your purchase info.
Filenames and file types.
Your keystroke patterns and rhythms.
Objects and scenery that show up in your videos, including tourist attractions, shops and other landmarks.
The sites you visit most and how you interact with them.
Any text, images and videos on your clipboard.

Donald Trump left office January 20, 2021. The following June, new president Joe Biden signed an executive order revoking the Trump Administration’s ban on TikTok, and instead ordered the Secretary of Commerce to investigate the app to determine if it poses a threat to U.S. national security.[65] On June 25, 2021, CNBC reported that “Direction and approvals for all kinds of decision-making, whether it be minor contracts or key strategies, come from ByteDance’s leadership, which is based in China.” According to Jim Lewis, a strategic technologies researcher at CSIS, “If the Chinese government wants to look at the data that ByteDance is collecting, they can do so, and no one can say anything about it.”
We’re a country whose sold Herself for worthless dross and mindless entertainment, prostrated on self-made altars of exorbitant lusts that bleed freedom; right along with those pesky little things that speak to character, like honor, integrity, loyalty to our Sovereign Creator-God, country and fellowman.
…for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also.
“The eye is the lamp of the body; so if your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive], your whole body will be full of light [benefiting from God’s precepts]. But if your eye is bad [spiritually blind], your whole body will be full of darkness [devoid of God’s precepts]. So if the [very] light inside you [your inner self, your heart, your conscience] is darkness, how great and terrible is that darkness!
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].

On May 5, 2021, White House press secretary Jen Psaki issued a mob-like warning to social-media companies and information distributors generally. They need to get with the program and start censoring critics of Covid policy. They need to amplify government propaganda. After all, it would be a shame if something would happen to these companies.
You would have to be willfully blind not to see the long-run ambition. The goal is a mass reversion to the past, a world like we had in the 1970s with three networks and limited information sources about anything going on in government. Back then, people did not know what they did not know. That’s how effective the system was. It came about not entirely because of active censorship but because of technological limitations.
For example, look at how they depict people struggling to pay their bills due to inflation. The Left sells Bidenflation good for consumers. The Biden administration tells us to enjoy our inability to pay our bills or not have our salaries keep up with inflation. Meanwhile, they use our tax dollars to give billions to fight a useless war in Ukraine.
But it’s not enough that they give our money away in foreign lands, the Left invites invaders to take our money domestically. Citizens of America know that you’re better off being an illegal in this country, thanks to the idiocy of the Left. Both our foreign and domestic slap in the face were caused by Joe Biden, who pays for nothing. In fact, Biden and his family profit from his bad policies, as the Left ignore their crimes.
These represent only two examples of Leftist idiocy. Scary when you consider that if this is the type of lunacy we get in the real world, what will the Leftist-created version of AI reimagine for us in the AI world?
This tweet by the New York Post provides a glimpse into the future. A future where Barack Obama and Joe Biden are hailed as heroes, and Donald Trump as the second coming of Adolf Hitler.
To illustrate my point, understand the reality of the present: Biden is a horrible president. But not to the Left, or so they pretend. So you can bet that the AI that produced that historical nonsense posted above will be programmed by the same people who write Biden’s present.
Google’s AI-powered engine called Gemini depicted George Washington as Black. It did the same for former popes as well. Google gave AI a “black eye”, visually and literally.
You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.
Consistency of the Holy Spirit, when multiple voices confirm a Word from God.
March 24, 2024: Allow Me to transform you, says the Lord. What you do matters far less than who you are in Me. I am looking over the face of the whole earth to find those whose hearts are in sync with Mine. I want you to walk and live in the Spirit with no distance between us. Come and be unified; become one with Me.
John 17:20-21 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
Understanding the continuity of God’s law under the New Covenant has significant practical implications for Christian living. It reorients our approach to the law from a list of dos and don’ts to a guide for living a life that pleases God. Empowered by the Spirit, believers can now genuinely embody the ethical and moral principles of the law. This empowerment leads to a life that mirrors God’s character – a life of love, justice, and righteousness, rooted not in the obligation of the law, but in the transformative work of the Spirit within us.
This is also why neither the left nor the right, nor Democrats or Republicans, nor capitalists or socialists, seem to be speaking clearly to the moment in which we live. The dominating force on both the national and global scene today is techno-corporatism that intrudes itself into our food, our medicine, our media, our information flows, our homes, and all the way down to the hundreds of surveillance tools that we carry around in our pockets.
I truly wish these companies were genuinely private, but they are not. They are de facto state actors. More precisely, they all work hand-in-glove and which is the hand and which is the glove is no longer clear.
Coming to terms with this intellectually is the major challenge of our times. Dealing with it juridically and politically seems like a much more daunting task, to say the least. The problem is complicated by the drive to purge serious dissent at all levels of society. How did American capitalism become American corporatism? A little at a time and then all at once.
