What Do I Risk To Take The Jab?

 This week (Thursday, 5/6/2021), some in our church looked at the potential risk of taking the vaccine. We hear from Joe Biden and our governor, and the MSM is that the vaccine is safe. With all the information about the vaccine being spread around, you would think everyone would know the risk. The data is on the CDC site, the Big Pharma sites, and many medical doctors warn against the potential risk to both young and old. If you have not had your shot, you may be under pressure from friends, family, and doctor to get the jab. My doctor has been twisting my arm for the last two appointments to get the shot. Every day we hear someone in authority telling us to get the shot. But what are they not telling us?

Joe Boden wants to reach 70% by July 2021. There will be a lot of pressure for the unvaccinated to comply. There will come a time in the near months where it will become difficult not to be vaccinated. People are calling for "shunning" of the unvaccinated. Those wishing to travel will not fly on commercial airplanes or go to work, enter a business, receive medical treatment if they do not have the shot. People are not allowing the unvaccinated to attend family functions, weddings, or gathering with a group of friends. But before you run out and make the appointment to get the job, you should consider the potential risk.


I am sure you can recall that both Biden and Harris were against the same vaccine they took and now support during the Trump administration. When Trump was president, the vaccine was not safe or reliable. Now that Biden and Harris are in office, it is both safe and reliable.


"I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump" on the reliability of a vaccine. (Harris)


During the live debate in Salt Lake City, Harris said when she was asked if Americans should take a vaccine if the Trump administration were to approve one either before or after the election, her answer was, "But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it. I'm not taking it."  


There are risks in everything, including in getting a vaccine. So why not rationally weigh the risk/reward ratio, as we do with every decision we make. One of the very few elected officials in the country who has said a word about any of this, who has asked the obvious questions, not attacking vaccines, wondering about their effects, is Republican Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Johnson asked Francis Collins, the NIH director, why so many Americans seem to be dying after the shot.


Maybe there's a good answer for that, and Collins wouldn't even acknowledge that was happening. Instead, Collins fretted if the population-focused too much on the harm from vaccines, people might be hesitant to get them. Some people don't want the vaccine. That's their right to refuse the shot. Period. Not all of us are crazy. Health decisions used to be considered personal choices. We didn't ask about them. They were deemed to be private as recently as last fall. 


If American citizens are going to be forced to take this vaccine or any other medicine, we have an absolute right to know the effects it might have on our bodies. And we have a fundamental right to ask that question without being silenced or censored, or mocked. No amount of happy talk or coercion, or appeals to false patriotism can change that.


Check out the link below.

The 4/23/2021 release of VAERS data: Found 3,544 cases where vaccine targets COVID-19 (COVID19) and Patient Died. https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?EVENTS=ON&VAX=COVID19&VAXTYPES=COVID-19&DIED=Yes   


Only a small percentage of test subjects are reporting, which means these numbers are much higher than reported.


Here is a switch. There are those calling for the shunning of the unvaccinated, but it is unvaccinated people who are in danger of being infected by the vaccinated.


PFIZER'S DOCUMENTS STATE BOTH INHALATION AND SKIN CONTACT WILL TRANSMIT WHATEVER IS IN THE VAX FROM THE VACCINATED TO THE UNVACCINATED Here is what just this small portion of this Pfizer document is saying:


1. If a man who was not vaccinated touches a vaccinated woman or breathes any of the air she breathes (in other words, walks by her in the office) and he then has sex with his wife, his wife can have an adverse event, and she should avoid having children.


2. If a woman who was never vaccinated gets exposed to a woman who was vaccinated, she can:

A: miscarry,

B: spontaneously abort,

C. poison a baby via her breast milk

D: Have babies that have cognitive difficulties.


8.3.5.3. Occupational Exposure

"An occupational exposure occurs when a person receives unplanned direct contact with a vaccine test subject, which may or may not lead to the occurrence of an adverse event. These people may include health care providers, family members, and other people around the trial participant.


When such exposures happen, the investigator must report them to Pfizer within 24 hours of becoming aware of when they happened, regardless of whether there is an associated secondary adverse event. This must be reported using the vaccine secondary adverse event report form. SINCE THE INFORMATION DOES NOT PERTAIN TO A PARTICIPANT INVOLVED IN THE STUDY, THE INFORMATION WILL BE KEPT SEPARATE FROM THE STUDY."


TO CLARIFY: Vaccine study participants become super-spreaders of something. They don't say what it is, but it triggers secondary adverse events in people who never had the vax when exposed to people who did have the vax.


Maybe it is time for the unvaccinated to shun the vaccinated. During the beginning of the pandemic, churches were closed to stop the spread. Mask and social distance were required to be followed. Some people refused to return to church because not everyone wore a mask. That was their choice. Has the time come when the vaccinated should be asked to stay away from the unvaccinated?


I, along with others, believe it is time to stop the madness. We are giving up hard-fought rights and freedoms out of fear. As a nation, we forget that we have already long ago established fundamental human rights such as bodily autonomy, medical sovereignty (HIPPA), and informed voluntary consent. Informed consent to medical treatment is essential in both ethics and law. Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended treatments so that they can make well-considered decisions about care. Successful communication in the patient-physician relationship fosters trust and supports shared decision-making. Know the risk is part of the decision-making process.


The Nuremberg Code is a stark reminder we have been through this before and should not allow it to happen again. We must remember Who We Are and stop this insane COVID medical experimentation – before it's too late. The whole world is now witnessing the descent to a global state of manufactured madness, irrational fear, and extreme over-reaction being experienced by the vast majority of humanity. A highly organized strategy is implemented with extremely purposeful design by demonic powers and evil forces to destroy humanity. Satan is changing society to his design and purpose, and we need to resist him.

The Dissenter

 I have noticed I am getting tagged by the "fact-checkers" more often than in the past few months.  I am getting the feeling that I am an "extremist," or as some have labeled me, a "domestic terrorist." I have been reading where the President and some appointed people will be watching people who disagree with their policies.  They seem to think that dissent is a National Security issue.  For someone to non-violently protest or speak out against or even criticize their policies is dangerous to democracy.

I must admit that I have engaged in what they call "extremist" activities.  I have put written words to my thought crimes. I have been very vocal about the evil the present administration has perpetrated on the American public.  I have been labeled even by so-called friends for questioning the government as being a "conspiracy theorist, "anti-vaxxer", a "dissenter," and a terrible Christian.  In the past few years, I have become an official enemy of the state to question the agenda of those who are of the Synagogue of Satan.

I am sure that I am or will soon be under surveillance for questioning the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccine and spreading misinformation about the adverse effects of taking the deadly jab.  I no doubt should seek counseling for my tendencies to question civil authorities, the press, and globalism. The problem is I don't know who to trust.  The ruling elites have become so powerful and far-reaching that they are controlling every aspect of our life.  I feel like I am living in George Orwell's 1984.  Here again, I am "anti-democratic," criticizing the country's leadership by comparing it to a totalitarian system of 1984.

In recent months I have found that being a "white evangelical Christian" is the same a being a "white-supremacist militia member," and being a white male makes me a racist.  Some had even referred to me as a Russian asset since a few hundred Russian readers read my blog before it was blocked.  I am not in the class of the big dissenters who have hundreds of thousands of followers; I am only small potatoes.  Just keep in mind that size does not matter.  The globalist elite and their corporate media mouthpieces in the MSM are telling us, in no uncertain terms, that "objection to their authority" will no longer be tolerated, nor will dissent from their official narratives. Such dissent will be deemed "dangerous" and above all "false." It will not be engaged with or rationally debated. It will be erased from public view for not meeting community standards. There will be an inviolable, official "reality." Any deviation from official "reality" or defiance of the "civil authorities" will be labeled "extremism" and dealt with accordingly.

This is the essence of totalitarianism, establishing an inviolable official ideology and the criminalization of dissent. And that is what is happening right now. A new official doctrine is being established. Not a state ideology. A global ideology. The "New Normal" is that official ideology controlled by the Synagogue of Satan.

An Open Letter to our Elected Officials:

As a minister, I am concerned about the direction the COVID-19 vaccines are going. I am thankful for the use of new medical intervention which has been developed to make our lives better. However, I am concerned that the side effects being reported following vaccination has become a safety concern. We are being told that the vaccine is safe, while reports not controlled by "fact-checkers" indicate that this is not the case.


I am concerned that there is organized collaboration between the government and Big Pharma to cover up the numerous reports of significant health issues and even death related to the vaccine. I understand that these issues might have been unfortunate coincidences. Disconcerting is that the medical and pharmaceutical industry continue to downplay the adverse effects and fail to scrutinize the possible causes under these circumstances. The CDC has reported that there has been no death related to the vaccine. This report is being made by people who are under the supervision of the CDC and FDA. There needs to be an independent group with no connection to the CDC, WHO, or the FDA. 


Anyone who has a financial connection to the production of the vaccine or holds stock in the pharmaceutical industry should not be included in investigating reported adverse effects.


As a minister who people often ask if they should take the vaccine, I can only tell them that they must decide based on truth. They should research the reported side effects. The problem is the facts are being erased from the web under the guise of "violation of community standards." The community standards are based on what Big Pharma and Big Government have established as acceptable and not truth.


 My concern is that the media, the government, and Big Pharma will continue to blame "white evangelical Christians" for refusing to take the vaccine. I am not anti-vax. In the past, I have taken proven and tested vaccines. However, I will not encourage people to participate in an experiment that has taken several thousand lives and caused significant health issues in hundreds of thousands of individuals.


I find it suspicious that a government official could predict a pandemic that would take so many deaths. "There is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases," Fauci said during his "Pandemic Preparedness in the Next Administration" speech. He added, "the thing we're extraordinarily confident about is that we're going to see this in the next few years." How did he know what was coming? 


Both Vice President Harris and United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield have said we must prepare for the next pandemic. What do they know that they are not sharing?


I think it is time that the government show conclusive evidence that an actual emergency existed when the President issued the emergency authorization of the COVID-19 vaccines. Big Pharma and investors have made billions from "human experimentation," a violation of the Nuremberg Code. The government has found a way to take away freedom and control every aspect of our lives under the guise of health safety. It is time to allow truth to speak.  

Big Government and Big Pharma

 I was trying to research the number of deaths from the vaccine but found that information is hard to find.  Even the CDC has stated that there is no proof the COVID vaccine has caused any death.  So why the denial?  This is another lie to cover up what is really happening.

We are living in George Orwell's 1984.  If you recall, a Ministry of Truth was responsible for propaganda, historical revisionism, culture, and entertainment.  They were the "fact-checkers."  Of course, as with the other ministries in 'Oceania,' the name is a misnomer as the Ministry's primary purpose is misinformation and falsifying historical events so that they agree with Big Brother – it's the place where lies are made.  

The Ministry of Truth is taking form in the modern-day merger of Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Media, and Big Tech. Government and public health officials are becoming dystopian controllers of information and manipulative propagandists who carry out the deception of the vaccine industry. Government officials work tirelessly with social media companies to control all information on covid-19, cover up their crimes, and justify their tyranny. Social media algorithms are already designed to limit the spread of covid-19 "misinformation," but it's never enough. The truth that does not meet their community standards is slienced.  No matter how hard the powers try to silence personal testimony of vaccine injury and death, the absolute truth continues to surface.

The movers and shakers of the covid vaccine are concerned about our health and safety and believe that lockdowns should be tied to vaccination status--Passports.  What happened to freedom of choice?  Where are the protesters who gave us the slogan, MY BODY, MY CHOICE?   Unconscionable actions on the part of elected leaders have destroyed our freedom.   Americans have been deceived into believing the vaccines now being used are safe when time proves they are not. It's criminal; every person vaccinated was NOT told they were getting an experimental drug.  No one knows the long-term effects this new technology for vaccines will have in the future.

The false-prophets of Big Pharm had made predictions that, when wrong, changed the information to make it "accurate" to give the illusion they know what they are doing.  Both the CDC and the WHO said not to wear a mask, and then they stated we should wear a mask.  Their false prophets are now telling us to wear two masks.  You may have heard or read the study from Denmark that wearing a surgical mask doesn't offer a significant benefit to the wearer.  So, who are we to believe?

Just like Big Brother of 1984, if the prediction turns out to be wrong, the employees of the Ministry of Truth correct the record to make it "accurate." They must maintain the illusion they know what they are doing.   Big Pharma controls the news media and all social platforms by changing the message to make it seem they are always right.  When they are exposed as false prophets, they look for scapegoats.  Scapegoating and discrimination is a typical response in the face of a pandemic. During the Antonine Plague of 166 CE, for instance, there was an eruption of persecution of Christians blamed for the plague because they rejected local gods, their blasphemies, and their indulgence in black magic.

Again Christians are being blamed for the spread of the virus.  Here are some headlines:  White Evangelical Resistance Is Obstacle in Vaccination Effort ... Vaccine skepticism runs deep among white evangelicals in ... How white evangelicals' vaccine refusal could prolong the virus...Florida evangelicals on vaccine: Wise move or satanic plot ...  Maybe the Ministry of Truth should not give confusing information that gives rise to the doubt Big Pharm knows what they are doing.  

 Behind the veil of secrecy comes the story of the vaccine that AstraZeneca developed with the University of Oxford.  It is filled with communication blunders, messy trials, manufacturing nightmares, and political and economic rivalry. Most seriously, reports that a small number of people who received it, most of them younger than 60, developed a rare form of cerebral blood clotting.  Other than a nasal spray for flu, Astra had almost no experience in vaccines.   

AstraZeneca even miscalculated the concentration of the vaccine, which led some Phase III trial participants to receive a half-dose.  Around the same time, the team decided to move from a one-shot to a two-shot regimen after seeing signs it would produce better protection, but the miscalculation and the decision to add a second shot meant the team would need to make more vaccine. That, in turn, delayed the second jab for a large number of volunteers.  We are being asked to put our trust in Big Pharm when they cannot seem to get their act together.

 Big Brother is the leader, and symbolic figurehead of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling Party wields total power over the inhabitants for its own sake' — the maxim 'Big Brother is watching you is on display everywhere. Big Brother is a synonym for abuse of government power, particularly concerning mass surveillance and civil liberties. Orwell's creation of a Ministry of Truth that alters history / misinforms its people mirrors the actions of people like Napoleon and Stalin. Upon his conquest of a country, Napoleon would immediately take control of the newspapers. Stalin set up a vast machine to rewrite history by altering photographs, censoring many things in print, and murdering those considered enemies of the state.  How soon will America see those who question the government are locked away in some non-vaccine camp or denied the right to work, travel, or receive medical treatment?

Enemies of the Soul

 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For 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. 

Relationships  As we continue the message from last Sunday, we were looking at the enemies we face in life’s battles.  The next area I want us to look at is our relationships.

33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. ICor.15:33-34

Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals." I Cor. 15:33 The first warning is about deception.  We are not to be deceived into thinking what God is telling us is either not true or doesn’t apply in our situation.  We are not to be deceived into believing this warning was meant for someone else.  Why?   Because that’s exactly the rationalization each of us makes regarding God’s Word whenever His Word won’t allow us to do what we want to do and what we think is right.  After all, we want to follow our heart, and to our own heart be true.  Yet we willingly forget God states our heart is “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” (Jer. 17:9).  So, to have the knowledge of God, our heart would be the last thing we would want to follow.

Yet we still do.  Over and over again. And we never seem to learn. The second warning is about the essence of the deception.  And it’s the lie that we can play with fire and not get burned.   We can roll around in the mud with pigs and not get dirty.  We can live like the world, think like the world, look like the world, value what the world values and crave the world’s love and acceptance and yet remain pure from the world.  I mean, how stupid is that?

God tells us there is a one-way path when we associate with evil people.  Just one way.  And that way is from purity to defilement.  From virtue to sin, from light to darkness, from worth and value to corruption and decay.  It’s a one-way street that leads from holiness to depravity, and not the other way around.  I am sure you have heard people justify their actions.

“But I know the Jesus in me will change their hearts if I just spend enough time with them and do the things they are doing.”  You are deceived.

“But I love him/her  And I know if we date or get married he will someday see Jesus in me and become a Christian.  I just know it!”  You’re are deceived.

“Hey, they’re my friends.  I can hang with them and just not do what they are doing.  You know, I can be a light in their darkness.”  You’re deceived.

Choose friends carefully because guilt by association can have life-impacting consequences.

All humans have the desire to belong. At some point, most people will likely join a group, class, or club where they can meet other like-minded people. If you're a member of an organization, it's important to consider the quality of the people in this group. For better or worse, humans are at least partially judged by the people they associate with.

You've probably heard at least one of the following phrases:

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"Show me your friends, and I'll show you who you are."

In essence, both of these quotes affirm that human beings tend to surround themselves with people who are similar to them. What does this mean for the idea of "guilt by association?" Different people have different perspectives. Many individuals apply and abide by the assumptions of the association. There may even be legal ramifications to the friends we keep.

The association is applicable in real life because it's a valid principle in the legal and criminal justice system. Although each case and situation vary according to the circumstances and the individuals involved, there are many scenarios where people can be (and have been) held accountable for the actions of their connections, even if they did not break the law.

Non-believers never become Believers by osmosis.  That takes a sovereign act of God.  And you have been warned by the Lord not to be deceived into thinking “good morals or good character will redeem bad company.”  In fact, the truth is just the opposite.  Don’t be deceived into thinking this warning from God doesn’t apply in your case for whatever reason you conjure up in your mind to justify your disobedience.  It’s just not going to happen.  Why?  Because God doesn’t lie.

Ephesians 1

Emotions   Our bodies respond to different thoughts and emotions. The chemical processes in our bodies change depending on which types of emotions we are feeling. When an individual thinks about comfort and pleasure and feels hopeful about life, the Body transforms into a relaxed state where specific chemical changes occur, and healing can occur. When an individual is angry, different chemical reactions occur in their Body, creating stress on various, organs, especially the liver and pancreas. If these emotions continue for extended periods, illness can result. When we are physically weak, we are open to discouragement, doubt, and stress. This has a negative influence on our faith.

 Looking at the letter to the Church at Ephesus, we see the authority given to us. God has given the believer authority and victory in both the natural and spiritual realm. Notice what it says in these verses, "What is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us that believe."

(Ephesians 1:19 KJV); "Far above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named" (Ephesians 1:21 KJV); "And hath put all things under His feet" (Ephesians 1:22 KJV). God gave all that authority to His Body, the Church (Ephesians 1:22-23). We are seated in heavenly places with Him (Ephesians 2:6), where he is head over all things (Ephesians 1:22-23).

Jesus has given this authority to us, His followers.

 Luke 9:1, 2 says, Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Mark 13:34 tells us, for the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ... And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:15,17, 18.

Jesus has promised His authority to those who are His own. The problem is that we do not believe it, and therefore do not exercise it effectively.

Keeping with the warrior's allegory asked yourself this question, what happens when an army attempts to use its authority and finds that it is resisted? Does the commander shrug his shoulders and say, "Well, I guess that didn't work!" No, he turns up the heat of his authority. He pursues and subdues the enemy. Sometimes there is a stiff fight -- but the lawful authority wins in the end!

So, it is with our authority as believers. We need to understand that the infinitely powerful government of heaven backs us up. Jesus Himself is the one who has given us authority in His Name. Sometimes -- in fact, most of the time -- there is going to be a battle. Hell doesn't want to let go of its victims all that easily. We need to pursue, press in and insist on being obeyed. And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 

 Matthew 11:12. Sometimes the commander needs to use force. Sometimes the believer does, too, in the process of obtaining the desired answer.

 There are some qualifications that we must meet to have rightful authority in Christ. Let's continue to look at parallels between the commander and the Christian.

1. The commander must be under authority himself, obedient to his superiors. He goes where he has been assigned, not outside his jurisdiction. We believers must be doing what Jesus has said, according to the Bible and His word to us as well. We cannot be out doing our own thing for our pleasure. A clean, submitted heart to the will of the LORD is imperative.

2. The commander must continue contacting his superiors and getting their direction as needed in difficult situations. We need to be in constant communication with our superior officer -- Jesus

3. The commander must know how to use his weapons, or his opponent will run roughshod over him and maybe kill him. We must be skillful in using our weapons -- the Blood of Jesus, the Name of Jesus, our faith. Primarily, we have to know the Word of God and use it properly. Appropriate the Word.

4. The commander must understand the law and not step outside its boundaries. He can't attack people if they are not the enemy. We must understand what Jesus has given us and what He has not. If it's in the Book, it's ours to use. If it's not clear in the Book, we're on shaky ground. We need to research from Genesis to Revelation to make sure we're getting it right. Know the Word.

 Remember whose authority it is in which we operate. We have no control to come against the powers of darkness in our strength. We go against them in the Name of Jesus. It is His authority, not ours.

 Attempting to execute authority for anything other than His plans, His will, His desires is presumption. It will most certainly fail --and may put us in grave danger as well.  If something is important to you, you will go after it. The things God has promised us in His Word should be vitally important to us --enough so that we are prepared to take hold and struggle for them at any cost until we obtain them. Anything worth having is worth fighting for.

You people are not faithful to God! You should know that loving what the world has is the same as hating God. So anyone who wants to be friends with this evil world becomes God’s enemy. James 4:4

The World   The devil and his angels lead the hostility against the people of God, and there are plenty of mortals willing to assist him. The "world forces of this darkness" work together with "the spiritual forces of wickedness" (Ephesians 6:12).

 As we saw before, "The whole world lies in the evil one" (1John 5:19-20) so that many people of the world are among the enemies of Christ. There are those in the Synagogue of Satan that has dedicated their life to Satan. They have for generations down through history been faithful servants to the overthrow of everything God holds dear. Since the early 1900s, they have put their plan on fast-forward and are rushing to bring about a world controlled by Satan. They are the hidden power behind the world governments. They control every aspect of human conditions. 

 I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Rev.2:9

They go by many names, the Pilgrims Society, the Club of Rome, the Illuminati, Council on Foreign Relations, International Bankers, Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Kappa Beta Phi,  but they are the Synagogue of Satan that Jesus spoke of to John in Revelation. They exercise excessive control over society by depopulating agendas and genetic engineering, controlling energy and commodities, education and the media, and ideological and psycho-political strategies to divide and rule on all fronts.  These are the same people who are pushing us into a war with Russia, China and Syria. RIGHT NOW,  Russia and the United States remain on a ten-second hair-trigger, where a mistaken blip on a screen could trigger war.

They manipulate the planet's food supply to achieve strategic objectives. Their utter disdain for humanity is becoming ever more apparent with each passing day. They seem to regard us as little more than beasts to do their bidding. Even though we outnumber them by millions, they contain us by controlling and regulating the necessities of life, population control through wars, abortions, and many other means.

There are two companies that control every aspect of our lives.  They are Vanguard and BlackRock. The power of these two companies is beyond your imagination. Not only do they own a large part of the stocks of nearly all big companies but also the stocks of the investors in those companies. This gives them a complete monopoly.

Bloomberg calls BlackRock “The fourth branch of government”, because it’s the only private agency that closely works with the central banks. BlackRock lends money to the central bank but it’s also the advisor s well as developing the software the central bank uses.

In March of 2020, the mainstream financial press was quiet about the Federal Reserve’s appointment (March 24) of BlackRock to manage its massive corporate debt purchase program in response to the Covid-19 crisis. That silence might have a simple explanation: you don’t complain about your boss if you know what’s good for you.

 BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink is the most powerful man in the world, overseeing not just the Fed’s new (potentially $4.5 trillion) corporate slush-fund, but also managing $27 trillion of the global economy (even before the March appointment). The total global economy is $88 trillion.  Today one-man controls over one-third of the world economy and influences governments to do his bidding.

 Many BlackRock employees were in the White House with Bush, Obama Trump, and now Biden. Its CEO. and founder, Larry Fink can count on a warm welcome from leaders and politicians.  BlackRock advises governments on monetary and financial policy through its consulting unit, BlackRock Solutions. 

BlackRock has unprecedented access to the halls of power. Meeting calendars and phone logs have revealed almost 400 conversations between BlackRock executives and senior officials in the White House, Treasury and Federal Reserve since the financial crisis. Among other benefits, and despite its massive portfolio, BlackRock has avoided the same type of regulation put in place for other large financial institutions.

Vanguard and BlackRock hold a monopoly in all industries in the world and they have tremendous power with government. BlackRock is also the driving force behind climate change.  Fink is already pushing investment away from companies that don’t fit with his own moralism, using his vast power over public companies to affect policy debates.

Why doesn’t everybody know this? Why aren’t there movies and documentaries about this? Why isn’t it in the news? Because 90% of the international media is owned by six media conglomerates who are controlled by Blackrock and Vanguard.  These people are all members of the Synagogue of Satan and are working towards a world where there is no god but Satan.

So why do we stand idly by and let them feed their alcohol and drugs to our youth? Why are we allowing them to destroy our economies and our nations before our children ever have the chance to live their lives to the fullest course in what should be a good life? Our pathetic condition of apathy, non-awareness, and non-involvement has allowed them to get away with murder on a gigantic scale for centuries. By our irresponsibility and inaction, they have turned the streets of our cities into `no go` areas, where people fear for their lives and those of their loved ones. We have allowed their creation of a legal system that releases murderers, rapists, and pedophiles back onto the streets to repeat their vile deeds over and over again.

 Yet, we stick our heads in the sand and deny what is happening around us. We can call those who have their eyes open conspiracy theorists and laugh about their paranoid warnings. Right now, every day in the news, these minions of Satan are in our face bringing about the destruction of all that God loves. This is Satan's last chance to take total control of planet earth. To do this, he must destroy every trance of a Holy and Righteous God. He must bring about the death of everyone who serves Jesus Christ. He is doing this right now with those who serve him, and you ask how do we recognize them? Well, Jesus said: "By their fruits, you will know them."

 So just pick up a `newspaper, turn on the prime-time news, and wherever you see so-called `leaders of nations` justifying wars of aggression, mass slaughter, lies, deception, vice, atrocity, perversion, along with barefaced lies about overpopulation, climate change and a multitude of measures all designed to take away more of your personal liberty, all justified on the baseless grounds of National and or Global Security; That's them!

The scriptures say,  There are no good people left.  Everyone is planning to kill someone.  Everyone is trying to trap their brother.  People are good at doing bad things with both hands.  Officials ask for bribes. Judges take money to change their decisions in court.  Important leaders” do whatever they want to do. Even the best of them is as crooked as a tangled thornbush.  The Day of Punishment Is Coming Your prophets said this day would come, and the day of your watchmen[a] has come. Now you will be punished. Now you will be confused! Don’t trust your neighbor or trust a friend!  Don’t even speak freely with your wife.  Your enemies will be the people in your own house.  A son will not honor his father.  A daughter will turn against her mother. A daughter-in-law will turn against her mother-in-law (Malachi 7:5-6).

Jesus repeats this warning (Matthew 10:34-37).  

He told His disciple to listen to Him because they would be like sheep among wolves. They were to be wise as a snake and harmless as a dove. They were to be careful who they trusted. He warned them that there are people who will arrest you and take you to be judged. They will whip you in their synagogues. You will be taken to stand before governors and kings. People will do this to you because you follow me. You will tell about me to those kings and governors and the non-Jewish people. When you are arrested, don't worry about what to say or how you should say it. At that time, you will be given the words to say. It will not be you speaking; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.

Not only will neighbors and government officials turn against you so will family. Brothers will turn against their brothers and hand them over to be killed. Fathers will hand over their children to be killed. Children will fight against their parents and will have them killed. Everyone will hate you because you follow me. But the one who remains faithful to the end will be saved. When you are mistreated in one city, go to another town. I promise you that you will not finish going to all the cities before the Son of Man comes again. This does not happen to us all, but many Christians do taste the bitterness of it.

Disunity has always been a significant problem with God's people. Even the Old Testament records the civil wars and family fights among the people of Israel. Almost every local Church mentioned in the New Testament had divisions to contend with. The Corinthians were divided over human leaders, and some of the members were even suing each other (1 Cor. 1:10-13; 6:1-8). The Galatian saints were "biting and devouring" one another (see Gal. 5:15), and the saints in Ephesus and Colossae had to be reminded of the importance of Christian unity (Eph. 4:1-3; Col. 2:1-2). In the Church at Philippi, two women were at odds with each other and, as a result, were splitting the Church (Phil. 4:1-3).

Some of these problems stemmed from the backgrounds of the believers in the churches. The Jews, for example, were saved out of a strict legalistic environment that would be difficult to forget. The Gentiles never had to worry about diets and days. The first church council in history debated the relationship of the Christian to the law (Acts 15).

The believers in Rome were divided over special diets and special days. Some of the members thought it was a sin to eat meat, so they ate only vegetables. Other members thought it a sin not to observe the Jewish holy days. If each Christian had kept his preferences to himself, there would have been no problem, but they began to criticize and judge one another. The one group was sure the other group was not at all spiritual.

Unfortunately, we have similar problems today with many gray areas of life that are not right or wrong to every believer. Some activities we know are inappropriate because the Bible condemns them. Other activities we know are suitable because the Bible commands them. But when it comes to areas that are not clearly defined in Scripture, we find ourselves needing some other kind of guidance. Paul gave principles of this guidance. He explained how believers could disagree on nonessentials and still maintain unity in the Church. If it is not essential to your salvation, then it is not worth discord. However, some issues are critical to your salvation, and some will teach false doctrines. Paul seems to be referring to certain church members when he says, "I tell you even weeping, they are enemies of the cross of Christ" (Philippians 3:17-19).

In the controversy about eating meat sacrificed to idols, Paul shows how some Christians became the enemies of others: "By sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ" (1Corinthians 8:10-13).

James spoke of violent "quarrels and conflicts among" the brethren (James 4:1).  These people will be the ones to turn you into government officials.       

 Our Selves  As if there is not enough to contend with, we can sometimes be our own worst enemy.  Paul describes this when he says, "I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner..." (Romans 7:22-23).

 Of course, Christ can set us free from this enmity with ourselves, as Paul goes on to point out (Romans 7:24-25, 8:1-2).

The enemies of God are fighting a losing war: "Surely your enemies, Lord, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered" (Psalm 92:9). The final enemy of God to be eradicated is death: "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death" (1 Corinthians 15:25–26; see also 2 Timothy 1:10; Revelation 21:4).

Again, if you have felt at all like you are in a spiritual war, you are not alone. The question is, who controls you? Have you put on the armor of God for this conflict?  Whose side are you on?  You serve the LORD or you serve Satan.  If you are unsaved you need to find a place where you call on the LORD and ask forgiveness and accept His gift of salvation.

BE NOT DECIEVED

 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:- There is nothing loving about the enemy of your soul".

Introduction

Our warfare weapons are not carnal but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds in our minds. But the weapons of Satan are carnal, mighty in our flesh for the erecting of strongholds in our minds—and we're the ones arming him.


It is true Jesus "disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them" (Col. 2:15). Some will oppose spiritual warfare practices by pointing to that Scripture and say we don't have to fight because the devil is already defeated. Yes, the devil is already defeated, but Paul nevertheless told Timothy to "fight the good fight of faith" (1 Tim. 6:12) and said the Ephesians we "wrestle against ... principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12).


If Jesus destroyed the power of principalities and powers, why are we still wrestling them? We still wrestle, in part, because we are arming the enemy with the words of our mouth, handing him our God-given authority to use against us. Satan has no authority over us unless we give it to him, just like the serpent had no power in the garden until Adam gave it to him.


Weapons and Strategies

We must understand the weapons and strategies of the devil. The weapons he will use against are:

· Lies, deception and confusion Genesis 3:4, I Kings 13:18

· Unrighteousness wrong thoughts II Thessalonians 2:10

· Condemnation, accusation Job 4:17-18, Nehemiah 6:6

· Fear, worry, anxiety Job 4:14-15

· Destruction John 10:10, I Corinthians 5:5

· Traditions, opinions, doctrines Galatians 1:6-8

· Detractions, entertainment, addictions, laziness Judges 14:1-3


The strategies Satan uses against you are:

Break Your Will To Fight And He Will Own You!

The devil's plot is to harass you until you lose your will to fight the good fight of faith. He will not let up until one of two things happen, he breaks your will to fight, or you take the Sword of the Spirit and defeat the devil! If you find yourself during a battle, lacking spiritual fortitude (i.e., little or no prayer, no Bible study, not confessing the Word of God, and no fellowship with firm Believers), you have allowed forces of darkness to break your will to fight.


Wear You Down And Satan Will Control You!

Wear the saints down mentally and exhaust them physically. Get them worried about the economy, war, unemployment, gasoline price, the high crime rate, the so-called pandemic, anything to usurp the peace of God in their minds and hearts. Once a Believer is worn down, they become spiritually incapacitated and thus, are useless to God's kingdom.


Divide And Conquer

In Matthew 12:25,".Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand." The devil is acutely aware of this spiritual law and uses it as a weapon to destroy marriages, families, ministries, friendships, businesses, and any partnership. He looks for ways to inspire disagreement and create division. The scheme is simple, pit Christian against Christian, husband against wife, children against parents, and members against pastor anywhere he can sow disunity.


"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." ICor.1:10-13


"Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Eph.4:3


Never Press a Child of God Too Hard!

The devil understands the danger of forcing a Believer into a corner. He knows that too much pressure, and they may cry out to God for deliverance. The devil knows that a desperate foe is a dangerous foe. In some cases, his tactic is to bring just enough pressure to interfere with the plan of God for your life but not enough to cause you to cry out to God in prayer.


Will Impose His Will Upon The Church

He will impose the evil kingdom of darkness upon the Body of Christ but will not allow the Church to impose its will upon the kingdom of darkness. The devil will use threats, fear, the judicial system, and any other means available in an attempt to impose his will upon the Church.


Today the use of political correctness has been used to impose the will of the kingdom of darkness. As one man said, "Political correctness is tyranny with manners."


Ye are all the children of light and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 Thes.5:5


Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? IICor.6:14


Turn Them Away From God - By Changing The Laws

The devil uses the court system to changes laws to legislate sin and legalize debauchery. Change the rules, and you change the minds of the people. The body of Christ must rid itself of this spirit of passiveness when it comes to fighting Satan on this front. Believers must band together (those with legal training, financial resources, and prayer warriors) and rise and become aggressive in this arena and attack the devil at one of his favorite strongholds.


The Use of False Teachers

Out of nearly 1,300 Christians surveyed, 88% believe that the Church is being swayed by leaders promoting a worldly belief system contrary to sound Biblical teaching.


Acts 20:28-30 - Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.


Titus 1:10-11 - For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.


Timothy 6:5 - Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Titus 1:16 - They profess that they know God, but in works, they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.


Rush In and Crush

In Ephesians 4:27, we are commanded to "Give no place to the devil." When you give place to the enemy by living in sin, whether by omission or commission, you have exposed yourself to the devil, and in most cases, he will take that opportunity to rush in and crush you!


Find Their Weakness And Exploit It

When we become distracted from our faith, we become separated from God. Think of your faith as a driver. Who wants to be in a car with a distracted driver? All kinds of things can happen. You miss your exits. You run off the road. You take a wrong turn. It's no different in our faith. All kinds of spiritual distractions take us on all kinds of false paths and far away from God. Here are some everyday things that take us away from our faith:


Music

With some, it is the music you listen to. In the hands of Satan, music is a (WMD), a weapon of mass destruction. Sitting atop the Holy mountain of God, Satan was the maestro of music. He was the praise and worship leader of the entire universe (See Ezekiel 28:11-19). That is why he understands the power of rhythm, harmony, and melody. He uses that knowledge to create music to entice and hypnotize men and women to sin (See Daniel 3:1-7).


A good interview to read about dangerous music is with Steve Mencher from the Library of Congress.  https://www.loc.gov/podcasts/musicandthebrain/transcripts/loc_musicanndthebrain_dangerousmusic.pdf


Sports and Entertainment

"For while bodily training is of some value," says 1 Timothy 4:8, "godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also the life to come."


For years I have cried out against problems of sports.  I see the evil of sport being injected into the lives of young men and women.  Our youth are being taught that all that matters in life is winning.  It does not matter what sport you choose; it will require polarization.  Competitors in games aren't expected to work together or recognize any values or objectives outside the game. Players in games don't have constituents they're supposed to represent. Competitions exist for no other reason than personal gratification.  


One other thing that amazes me is the "personal ownership" fan have to "their team."  You do not win or lose gams, you are not part of the business plan, and the team owner does not care about your feelings or the community.  They are only concerned about making money.  If the money dries up they will leave.  


I understand sports is fun, and it's supposed to be fun. It's fun to watch, and it's fun to play. Remember, though, we've made sports fun over the centuries by rendering it harmless and inconsequential and giving it its isolated place in our society. Sports are isolated because the things that go on there are frequently illegal in the real world. If you tackle or punch someone on the street the way players do in games, you get arrested. Athletes no longer play for their lives like gladiators used to, and no one loses their health care if the Cubs's win a baseball game. But when you take the sports mentality out of that controlled environment and apply it to everyday life, you turn fellow citizens into opponents that are to be defeated on a field of play where there are no referees and no instant replays. Unlike sports where the most severe consequence is a lost game, but the same actions on the street, when done wrong, can harm or even kill people. It may be absurd to ask an athlete whether or not it's right or wrong to win a game. Still, when we stop asking whether our violent actions are right or wrong, we become sociopaths whose only interest is personal gratification.


When our main focus in life is sports and entertainment, we lose sight of the spiritual life we should be living.


Let me ask this question, What kind of Christian looks at the character of the players and says, "I don't care, as long as I get my football?"


 What kind of Christian pretends that brand loyalty to a privately owned sports franchise is some kind of civic duty or responsibility? What kind of Christian pretends that athletes with incredibly narrow skill sets that are completely useless outside of a game are role models worth hundreds of millions of dollars? What kind of person assumes they're entitled to hundreds of millions worth of public financing for their personal entertainment? It is not someone whose eyes are focused on the LORD.


Pro-sports doesn't promote community, and it promotes decay and selfishness. How else can one describe a willingness to short fund public safety while spending millions of dollars on a football bailout, so we don't "lose the team"? One of the biggest myths surrounding sports is that it promotes teamwork and sacrifice. Sports become more focused on winning than the thrill of competition, promoting egoism and selfishness, not sacrifice and teamwork.  Are these excellent Christian qualities to model our lives?


The longer people play the game, and the more focused the game becomes on winning, the more likely players are to endorse cheating. Sports can erode community values when it creates a moral bubble around athletes who consider themselves beyond normal social regulation. These "morally exempt" zones encourage dangerous and anti-social behavior and promote its acceptance by the community at large. This doesn't tie communities together, and it divides them according to privilege. 


Sports and entertainment are a spiritual distraction to the Christian.

Relationships

Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals." I Cor. 15:33


Micah 7:6

For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the members of his own household.


I am upset because I am like fruit that has been gathered, like grapes that have already been picked. There are no grapes left to eat. There are none of the early figs that I love. By this, I mean that all the faithful people are gone. There are no good people left. Everyone is planning to kill someone. Everyone is trying to trap their brother. People are good at doing nasty things with both hands. Officials ask for bribes. Judges take money to change their decisions in court. "Important leaders" do whatever they want to do. Even the best of them is as crooked as a tangled thornbush.


The Day of Punishment Is Coming Your prophets said this day would come, and the day of your watchmen has come. Now you will be punished. Now you will be confused! Don't trust your neighbor or trust a friend! Don't even speak freely with your wife. Your enemies will be the people in your own house. A son will not honor his father. A daughter will turn against her mother. A daughter-in-law will turn against her mother-in-law. Micah 7:1-6 


Micah is living among people who have lost their way. Men had no comfort, no satisfaction in their own families or their nearest relations. Contempt and violation of domestic duties are a sad symptom of universal corruption. When parents are not honored, the children will likely come to a wrong end in life. When there is a lack of trust between husband and wife, there will be a loss of love. The prophet saw no hope but into looking to the LORD.


Our relationships must be scriptural in their foundation. Husbands love your wife as Christi loves the Church and gave himself for it. Children honor your parents. Suppose this is not the foundation of your family relationship. In that case, those outside the family will not give you the satisfaction you are looking to have. Satan will destroy your relationship with your family and your friends.


Jesus tells us that our relationships will change when we accept Him as our Savior.


Matthew 10:35

For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.


Luke 12:52

From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the Son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law.


Matthew 10:21,22

And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.


Physical and Emotional Issues

Our bodies respond to different thoughts and emotions. The chemical processes in our bodies change depending on which types of emotions we are feeling. When an individual thinks about comfort and pleasure and feels hopeful about life, the body transforms into a relaxed state where specific chemical changes occur, and healing can occur. When an individual is angry, different chemical reactions occur in their body, creating stress on various organs, especially the liver and pancreas. If these emotions continue for extended periods, illness can result. When we are physically weak, we are open to discouragement, doubt, and stress. This has a negative influence on our faith.


Authority of the Believer

Looking at the letter to the Church at Ephesus, we see the authority given to us. God has given the believer authority and victory in both the natural and spiritual realm. Notice what it says in these verses, "What is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us that believe" (Ephesians 1:19 KJV); "Far above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named" (Ephesians 1:21 KJV); "And hath put all things under His feet" (Ephesians 1:22 KJV). God gave all that authority to His body, the Church (Ephesians 1:22-23). We are seated in heavenly places with Him (Ephesians 2:6), where he is head over all things (Ephesians 1:22-23).

Jesus has given this authority to us, His followers.


Luke 9:1, 2 says, Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.


Mark 13:34 tells us, for the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.


And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ... And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:15, 17, 18.


Jesus has promised His authority to those who are His own. The problem is that we do not believe it, and therefore do not exercise it effectively.


Keeping with the warrior's allegory asked yourself this question, what happens when an army attempts to use its authority and finds that it is resisted? Does the commander shrug his shoulders and say, "Well, I guess that didn't work!" No, he turns up the heat of his authority. He pursues and subdues the enemy. Sometimes there is a stiff fight -- but the lawful authority wins in the end!


So it is with our authority as believers. We need to understand that the infinitely powerful government of heaven backs us up. Jesus Himself is the one who has given us authority in His Name. Sometimes -- in fact, most of the time -- there is going to be a battle. Hell doesn't want to let go of its victims all that easily. We need to pursue, press in and insist on being obeyed. And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. --


 Matthew 11:12. Sometimes the commander needs to use force. Sometimes the believer does, too, in the process of obtaining the desired answer.


There are some qualifications that we must meet to have rightful authority in Christ. Let's continue to look at parallels between the commander and the Christian.


1. The commander must be under authority himself, obedient to his superiors. He goes where he has been assigned, not outside his jurisdiction. We believers must be doing what Jesus has said, according to the Bible and His word to us as well. We cannot be out doing our own thing for our pleasure. A clean, submitted heart to the will of the LORD is imperative.


2. The commander must continue contacting his superiors and getting their direction as needed in difficult situations. We need to be in constant communication with our superior officer -- Jesus


3. The commander must know how to use his weapons, or his opponent will run roughshod over him and maybe kill him. We must be skillful in using our weapons -- the Blood of Jesus, the Name of Jesus, our faith. Primarily, we have to know the Word of God and use it properly. Appropriate the Word.


4. The commander must understand the law and not step outside its boundaries. He can't attack people if they are not the enemy. We must understand what Jesus has given us and what He has not. If it's in the Book, it's ours to use. If it's not clear in the Book, we're on shaky ground. We need to research from Genesis to Revelation to make sure we're getting it right. Know the Word.


Remember whose authority it is in which we operate. We have no control to come against the powers of darkness in our strength. We go against them in the Name of Jesus. It is His authority, not ours.


Attempting to execute authority for anything other than His plans, His will, His desires is presumption. It will most certainly fail --and may put us in grave danger as well.


If something is important to you, you will go after it. The things God has promised us in His Word should be vitally important to us -- enough so that we are prepared to take hold and struggle for them at any cost until we obtain them.


Anything worth having is worth fighting to keep.
