For, in the aftermath of this experience, my family and I finally see the Truth that has been hiding beneath the surface; some people are manipulators whose only intention in life is not to fulfill God&#8217;s calling, but to ride on the free train of laziness&#8212;off the backs of others, especially those in their own households&#8230;.. Furthermore, they focus only on what they can take from everyone else, without even so much of a thought of offering help, or anything in return, or even a sympathetic ear&#8230; </p><p>Learning this lesson means so much to us because we have had to live with enormous stress as to what this man has put us through, which this video reiterates verbatim as to what the Bible teaches on this vital subject, that so many of us get wrong because of guilt&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-tD5mRwjfn2E" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;tD5mRwjfn2E&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/tD5mRwjfn2E?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>And, oh yeah, guilt is something Satan uses against us; it&#8217;s not even from God&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-iUf6ssqeTUo" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;iUf6ssqeTUo&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iUf6ssqeTUo?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>I do believe I needed to hear this message a thousand times more than any of my prospective readers will when they hear it! I do feel a little slow and stupid for going through this experience with someone of this thinking for a whole year before coming to the realization that this is REAL and IT IS exactly what we&#8217;ve been dealing with&#8212;a man who calls himself a believer whose only real goal is to manipulate God and other people as much as possible and then have the unmitigated gall to declare to everyone that his gain came as a &#8216;<em>Blessing from GOD!&#8221;</em></p><p>This is such an important lesson, most particularly for the time in which we are living, because our society has been overcome with this victim mindset, just as the devil did plan for this confusion to set in-</p><div id="youtube2-C62TbW2zReY" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;C62TbW2zReY&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/C62TbW2zReY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Because, most especially for believers, this is a tough lesson to learn, because of the guilt that ensues whenever we detect this problem in someone else&#8230;&#8230;..AND especially when that person claims to be a believer&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.&#8221; </em>(2Thessalonians 3:10)</p><p>This verse is important to this conversation because it exposes the &#8216;tough love&#8217; theory that in certain cases, helping someone out of a problem, like hunger due to refusal to work, only reinforces that problem of laziness. And this action, although well-intended, only stands in the way of what God is wanting that person to learn, that he or she is in need of accepting responsibility and that manipulating others for self-gain is immoral and goes against GOD.</p><p>Just as Jesus warned, there are people in this world that only seek to use and take from those in whom they may readily manipulate; never intending to keep their promises of repayment, lending or favors, but will in fact say anything necessary to get others to do for them&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Behold, I will  send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.&#8221; (</em>Matthew 10:16)</p><p>This can come as a vital lesson for believers!</p><p>It may also be helpful for us to discern this understanding as a parallel to something the world calls &#8220;Tough Love,&#8221; as it holds to this concept of not allowing those who live with entitlement to advantage of us&#8230;.</p><p>Another parallel we can point to is narcissism. We have probably all met someone at some point who demands everyone else&#8217;s attention at all times. So if you were to be talking to someone with this personality disorder, you would quickly realize that at first mention of anything you say in conversation, that person will respond with his or her own experience that you just reminded him of. For example, if you were to mention that you didn&#8217;t feel well, instead of an empathetic response, all you would hear is something that starts with &#8216;I,&#8217; in utter and complete disregard for your situation&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-eI65CbmTlAc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;eI65CbmTlAc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/eI65CbmTlAc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>NKJV</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[SEEING TRUTH:]]></title><description><![CDATA[Discerning Someone's True Heart Condition]]></description><link>https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/seeing-truth</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/seeing-truth</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linzy Bruno]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:12:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/KYlqQMrIAxo" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="youtube2-KYlqQMrIAxo" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;KYlqQMrIAxo&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KYlqQMrIAxo?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>How can we be sure someone is saved, or not saved? Just basing that on whether or not someone claims to be a Christian is not always the most reliable method! That is sadly due to the fact that there are those who only <em>think</em> they are saved&#8230;.OR those who actually believe they can manipulate ALMIGHTY GOD!</p><p>The Bible implies that we will be able to see the condition of someone&#8217;s heart based on what they do, and even what they don&#8217;t do&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;You will know them by their fruits.&#8221; </em>(Matthew 7:16a)</p><p><em>&#8220;Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.&#8221; </em>(James 4:7)</p><p>It is also biblically implied that God looks beyond our ignorance and goes straight to the condition of our hearts in His determining Judgment, not whether or not we comprehend His Word, or even salvation, but do we have the heart He is looking for, like: Is this person for real? Will he or she surrender his or her will to Me? These are questions everyone claiming salvation needs to ask themselves, because we are all born out of evil, with inherently wicked hearts, <em>but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, our faith in Jesus changes the condition of our hearts</em>. <em>THANKS BE TO GOD!</em></p><p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that God will allow someone into Heaven without faith in Jesus, but that He will call that one to Himself, and that person will ultimately answer that call because of his/her unfeigned heart of love!</p><p>By that biblically sound logic, we may see that someone can be a believer without ever having the ability to articulate it, although we are taught to proclaim the Truth of Jesus, there are some legitimate reasons someone cannot. God doesn&#8217;t look at that person with the Eye of His Wrath, but with His Eye of compassion and understanding. And that is incredible for all those who do have some sort of mental blockage or challenge. However, what causes that blockage is far more revealing. Because if it&#8217;s due to a cognitive stifling, the Lord will shower down His Mercy, but if someone is ignorant because of a highly obstinate refusal to surrender to God&#8217;s Control; refusing to turn his or her will over to Him, that is another story entirely!</p><p>Paul taught that ignorance stems from a hard heart, because the heart governs the mind. However, he is clearly speaking of that someone we all know (I think) who only sees what he or she <em>wants</em> to see&#8212;-</p><p><em>&#8220;This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart, who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.&#8221; </em>(Ephesians 4:17-19)</p><p>This implies that it all begins and ends with our hearts, which explains that verse in the first Book of Samuel, where God declares this Truth&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;But the LORD said to Samuel, &#8220;Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, <strong>but the LORD looks at the heart.&#8221; </strong></em><strong>(</strong>1Samuel 16:7)</p><p>AND this also explains why the Bible refers to the &#8216;heart of David, because David had a heart for God&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will&#8221; </em>(Acts 13:22)</p><p>And, it furthermore shows that God searches each person&#8217;s heart for that same heart condition as was with David&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart&#8221;</em> (1Samuel 13:14)</p><p>Okay, so we know that ignorance comes from a hardened heart, which basically links denying the Truth to one&#8217;s self with a hardness of heart. People becoming people who only see what they want to see, and use their ignorance as an excuse, and even a crutch abide in a dangerous countenance before the LORD!</p><p>AND this sort of ignorance consequently does NOT come from the innocent ignorance of simply not knowing the Truth due to some sort of lacking in that person&#8217;s intelligence/ability, but points to a deliberate denial for the sake of self-preservation, and that comes from PRIDE, plain and simple. </p><p>So after we identify that someone fails to understand the most simple basics of Christian living/heart condition, we then need to establish why. What is this person&#8217;s ignorance stemming from? IS it a legitimate ignorance, or is this an ignorance based in the pride of man that refuses to see the Truth of GOD? </p><p>And how interesting that Paul even adds in the element of greediness at the end of that statement! WOW, that implies that people who are greedy lie to themselves in order to justify their behaviors to themselves, as well as those onlookers of their actions; those who may just expose their actions as unfeeling, self-promoting and downright uncaring.</p><p>And it really does go back to the condition of someone&#8217;s heart. And what Paul said in Romans 1:20 provides another illustration providing further evidence unto his assertions&#8212;&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;for since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.&#8221; </em></p><p>These words should also tell us it all goes back to the heart, because people who do not want there to be a Creator will refuse to believe the Truth that an intelligent Designer had to be responsible for all creation; everything that GOD has created, and rather choose to see creation as nature doing what nature does, and this is all there is; that there is no heaven or hell, only this temporary existence that ends at the grave. That is mortal mans&#8217; description at best, and does reveal a darkness within that one&#8217;s soul&#8230;.</p><p>This discovery may just explain someone to me and my family. We&#8217;ve has been trying to understand for this whole past year where this person is coming from. It&#8217;s still a head-scratcher, but it makes so much more sense after this unveiling that the Scripture has supplied on this glorious day in the LORD! Everything that Paul has outlined in Ephesians 4:17-19, right up to his final point of how greed for worldliness/money comes into the picture. </p><p>We have all seen this exact scenario in this person, whose identity I will not disclose, but who inspired me to study this subject, not only for the sake of this article, but for my and my family&#8217;s better understanding and peace of mind&#8230;.</p><p>We know someone is operating in the pride of man if that person refuses to ever take any responsibility for his or her actions, but rather just turns away, never mentioning it and acting like it was never mentioned in the first place; just going on as normal, secure in his or her delusion&#8230; Someone who lives this way, whose habit is this exact thing, not sometimes, but every single time there is mention that he or she has done something unethical and just plain wrong; like for example nearly hitting your car with his car in the middle of a busy intersection, even though it was only a near accident and not done deliberately. Even still, shouldn&#8217;t that person at least show some remorse? Shouldn&#8217;t our family at least hear an apology? </p><p>(And this is only one example, there have been many other incidences, like lying and confirmed evidence of greed through acts of dishonest gain, even calling this gain a &#8220;blessing from the Lord!&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;)</p><p><strong>AI Overview:</strong></p><p>The Command V.17&#8212;&#8220;Paul &#8220;insists in the Lord&#8221; that Christians must stop walking in the futility of their minds,&#8221; meaning in purposeless, empty, and irrational ways, as the surrounding pagan world does. </p><p>The Condition of the World V.18&#8212;Unbelievers have darkened understanding, are alienated from the life of God, and live in ignorance due to the &#8220;harkening of their hearts.&#8221; </p><p>The Consequences V.19&#8212;Having lost all sensitivity, people become callous and abandon themselves to sensuality, impurity and greed.</p><p>The Contrast &#8212;This passage is part of a larger section highlighting the difference between the &#8220;old man&#8221; (past life of sin&#8221; and the &#8220;new man&#8221; (new life in Christ).</p><p></p><div id="youtube2-kZAqwOatNnA" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;kZAqwOatNnA&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/kZAqwOatNnA?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><em>&#8220;Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.&#8221;</em> (Proverbs 16:18)</p><p></p><p></p><p>NKJV</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE DEVIL'S TWIST:]]></title><description><![CDATA[We Could Call It Wokeology!]]></description><link>https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/the-devils-twist</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/the-devils-twist</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linzy Bruno]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:30:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/tjjg-HO1nAI" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="youtube2-tjjg-HO1nAI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;tjjg-HO1nAI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/tjjg-HO1nAI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Truly not everyone understands the nefarious nature behind the WOKE craze we see doing nothing but gaining in strength and popularity over time&#8230;..And, also quite crystal clear is that this term was birthed as a counter to the Christian born-again status that we come to through faith in Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross, for we who believe are AWAKE unto HIM. Therefore and thereby, the devil cleverly made up this term, along with its entire ideology as a counterfeit to the True salvation.</p><p>And this has been a prodigious win for Satan, who has no ways nor means of his own volition. Therefore what he does is turn everything of GOD upside down or backwards, in the hopes that as many of the lost as possible will fall for his twist on righteousness.</p><p>That&#8217;s why the ideology known as &#8216;wokeism,&#8217; most commonly just called WOKE, has been such a powerful influence on the current culture we detect around every corner, (unless God dwells there of course!)</p><p>Consequently, this equates to the separation of the Sheep and the Goats. See Matthew 25:31-46. The sheep are on God&#8217;s Right side; the one that will see eternal Life in Heaven. And the goats are on His left; the side that will be thrown into the Lake of Fire for their &#8216;everlasting punishment.&#8217;</p><p>It&#8217;s also helpful to note that not too long ago, it was quite often unclear as to what side a person chose, because back then people didn&#8217;t want everyone to see their true colors; using that public mask to hide behind, so only their own associates would know of their immoral deeds and ungodly condition of their hearts. But these days, Satan&#8217;s deception runs so deep that these same sorts of lost people actually believe that they are more aligned with morality than Christians are, and subsequently, speak  openly and proudly regarding their affiliation to the left. But this is an affiliation with Satan, as the Word of GOD make clear&#8212; the path of righteousness is deeply opposed to his Woke ideologies&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.&#8221;</em> (Matthew 7:14)</p><p><strong>You Will Know Them By Their Fruits</strong></p><p><em>&#8220;Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep&#8217;s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from  thornbushes or figs from thistles?&#8221; </em>(Matthew 15-16)</p><p>Also noteworthy is that knowing others by their fruits includes the fruit of evil doers as well&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad  tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.&#8221; </em>(Matthew 7:17-20)</p><p>Furthermore, the sort of fruit on someone&#8217;s &#8216;tree&#8217; has never been more readily detected. And as time wears on, evil doers seem to become increasingly more emboldened, and more deceived by Satan&#8217;s influence over them, yet still oblivious as to  his activity prompting their minds toward ever worsening anti-God thoughts and behaviors. This is so clearly what the Bible deems as a sign of our Savior&#8217;s soon Return for His Church!&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness by denying its power. And from such people turn away!&#8221;</em> (2Timothy 3:1-5)</p><p>Inasmuch as WOKE indicates everything that is against God, here is a list we can follow&#8212;</p><p>Wokeism is characterized by anti-law, pro trans and LGB&#8230;..rhetoric. Moreover, the ideology sites racial prejudice as the cause behind every politically-charged problem, while pushing Critical Race theory and gender confusion in schools. Moreover, this ideology protects and defends pedofiles and murderers, illegal aliens and the criminal over the victim. This should clearly reveal that WOKE is an anti-God rhetoric and should not be supported or followed in any way, shape or form! And it also should be clear that Satan is behind this deception, inasmuch as all of these things go directly against God&#8217;s Statutes and Precepts&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

And as he has outlined, JD did this so we who know Him, would be ready for His Arrival, AND so that we would be equipped to use His pre-emptive Words as absolute proof that these things are evidence that, not only was His Message in Matthew 24, and other places True, but also discredit any arguable doubt, (except perhaps for those who abide in so much pride that they cannot see this evidence as True and reliable fact&#8230;..)</p><p><strong>The Biblical Parallels and Current Events Are aligning Seamlessly, Most Predominantly through Matthew 24&#8212;</strong></p><p>Jesus presents His Disciples with the order of things that will occur in this stunning chapter, that comes alive with said alignment. Through the first 2 verses, He makes it clear that the Temple that they had known, will no longer be operational, but in fact be torn down; signifying the prophetic shift on the earth from the mass worship of God, toward the new trending worship of the Antichrist system, in which we are heading toward at record speed today&#8212;</p><p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8230;..<em>Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down&#8230;&#8230;.&#8221; </em>(Verse 2b)</p><p>Then, He points to the generation of our current day by outlining those glaring signs; taking us from verses 3 to 14&#8212;</p><p><strong>Deception</strong>&#8212;&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<em>Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, &#8216;I am the Christ,&#8217; and deceive many.&#8221; </em>(Verse 4b)</p><p><strong>Wars</strong>&#8212;&#8221;<em>And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars</em>&#8230;&#8230;&#8221; (Verse 6a)</p><p><strong>Famines, Pestilences and earthquakes</strong>&#8212;&#8221;<em>And there will  be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.</em>&#8221; (Verse 7b)</p><p><strong>The Convergence</strong>&#8212;<em>&#8221;All these are the beginning of sorrows.&#8221; </em>(Verse 8)</p><p><strong>Persecution &amp; Lawlessness</strong>&#8212;Next, through verses 9 to 12, He addresses more personal horror stories of Christian and Jewish persecution, much of which is happening now in places like Nigeria, where Christians are being tortured and slaughtered, our college campuses where students are harassing and in some instances, physically attacking Jewish students&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-Znw4ZtiGwl8" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;Znw4ZtiGwl8&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Znw4ZtiGwl8?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div id="youtube2-jXt7_3asow0" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;jXt7_3asow0&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/jXt7_3asow0?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>And, what He says next ought to be clear to believers and nonbelievers alike. WE ARE <em>seeing lawlessness abound</em>, especially in Minneapolis, but also in many other major cities. These news stories are plentiful, devastating and brutal, because as Jesus said, their love <em>will</em> &#8216;grow cold&#8217;&#8212;</p><p>&#8220;<em>And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.&#8221; </em>(Verse 12)</p><div id="youtube2-GEYpwuUVCfw" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;GEYpwuUVCfw&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GEYpwuUVCfw?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Then through verses 13 to14, He talks about the glorious condition of His followers who &#8216;endure to the end,&#8217; and the revivals that will be going on! Therefore, He is, in essence saying that believers remain in His Sight, His Cover, and even His Blessings! And, those in whom He has been waiting to arrive in the Spirit, are indeed realizing the Truth and crying tears of great joy at the Foot of His Throne in these last of the Last Days!&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-rASemG7fO2g" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;rASemG7fO2g&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/rASemG7fO2g?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Then from verses 15-28, He describes the great tribulation event that will last for 7 years&#8212;</p><p>Then from verses 36-44, He informs His Disciples that no one knows exactly when He will return, and what the Rapture will be like. And, inasmuch as He was not even sure Himself, (as God was keeping Him from certain knowledge while He walked this earth.) But He advised His Disciples to be ready because they will not know the moment He will arrive&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken  and the other left.&#8221; (</em>Verses 40-41)</p><p>And to end this discussion, Jesus provides a parable of insight as to why all of this must happen, particularly due to the Wrath of God that mankind has caused to fall on himself, as recorded in verses 45-51&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;"But if that evil servant says in his heart, &#8220;My master is delaying his coming,&#8217; and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.&#8221;</em> (48-51)  </p><p><strong>Parallels to Matthew 24:</strong></p><p>Mark 13 &amp; Luke 21:5-36, And a short passage in the Book of John&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will  raise him up at the last day.&#8221;</em> (John 6:39-40)</p><p>And for further detail on the Rapture, see 1Corinthians 15:51-54 below and perhaps the most quoted, descriptive passage of what the Rapture will be like, recorded in 1Thessalonians 4:13-18&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed&#8212;in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruption has put on incorruption,  and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: &#8220;Death is swallowed up in victory.&#8221;</em> (1Corinthians 15:51-54)</p><p>Therefore, considering all this proof, (and this is not even all of it), in the right situation and moment, we who believe ought to use this knowledge to point out Truth to the doubters and even the atheists we come across while we are still here, because our opportunities to preach the Gospel will run out SOON&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-b-2TPzs26_E" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;b-2TPzs26_E&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/b-2TPzs26_E?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>And one last, very important point that I present now as a request, is that we pray for our persecuted brethren in Nigeria, and that our Christian President will be able to stop this, even through militarily means if necessary, and put an end to this travesty of epic proportions&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-aRCB2Nc5vuY" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;aRCB2Nc5vuY&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/aRCB2Nc5vuY?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Please join me in prayer using this God-inspired poem, written to move hearts, and hopefully motivate believers to pray for persecuted Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere&#8212;</p><p>linzybruno.substack.com/p/righteous-agony</p><p></p><p></p><p>NKJV</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[AND NOW THIS GOING ON IN MINNESOTA!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ever Increasing Cultural Depravity: The Newest & Most Deplorable Sexual Revolution!]]></description><link>https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/and-now-this-going-on-in-minnesota</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/and-now-this-going-on-in-minnesota</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linzy Bruno]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 16:07:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/GI7w77ZS1Hw" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="youtube2-GI7w77ZS1Hw" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;GI7w77ZS1Hw&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GI7w77ZS1Hw?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>In this news report aired last week, Laura shines a light on the latest shocker developing in Minneapolis: lawmakers considering bringing back the sex trade. She mentions the fact that this hasn&#8217;t been the legal case of the matter since prior to the HIV epidemic that was going on back in the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s&#8212;</p><p>Well Laura, a google search shows that prostitution was deemed illegal back in the early 1900&#8217;s, but that&#8217;s okay&#8230;.The point is that now at a time when evil is gaining in momentum, and the Bible is playing out in real time, we are enabled to see the prophetic implications of this development.</p><p>For inasmuch as Satan has been emboldened by GOD to increase in strength and influence during these last days; a new sexual revolution was bound to come to fruition, as Satan uses the allure of sex to tempt, convict and accuse anyone he possibly can. We haven&#8217;t seen the Antichrist make his appearance on the world stage yet, as that is a tribulation event yet to manifest. But Satan is being embollened prior to that time, which is <em>now</em>; seeing new heights over these last several years. And Jesus&#8217; Prophetic Teachings are reaching their climactic peak, just as Satan&#8217;s powers and influence are nearing their climatic peak.  </p><p>In both of Paul&#8217;s Epistles to the Thessalonians, he highlights this time, that for us IS the present time; most particularly in 1st Thessalonians 4 &amp; 5, but all throughout these Books, the time in which we live today is the time that he was referencing all those many years ago&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.&#8221; </em>(2Thessalonians 2:9-10)</p><p><em>&#8220;But knowing this, that in the last days perilous times will come: <strong>For men will be lovers of themselves, </strong>lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, <strong>without self-control</strong>, brutal, <strong>despisers of good, </strong>traitors, <strong>headstrong, haughty</strong>, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!&#8221; </em>(2Timothy 3:1-5)</p><p>Jesus said that when He comes, the culture would be like it was in the days of Lot. And it&#8217;s NO coincidence that the depravity we are seeing today, just like back in the days of Lot is also founded in what is grotesquely against what God intended for mankind to be natural: behaviors that God has deemed as abomination in His Sight&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Likewise as it was in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.&#8221; (</em>Luke 17:28-30)</p><p>Also See: Romans 1:26-27 &amp; Leviticus 18:22 &amp; Hebrews 13:4</p><p>And the days of Lot were a time of heightened sexual immorality, which included of all kinds, but it&#8217;s especially poignant that Lot was exposed to that same unnatural abomination that plagues our culture today&#8212;</p><p><strong>Sodom&#8217;s Depravity</strong></p><p><em>&#8220;So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut  the door behind, and said, '&#8220;Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! See now,<strong> I have two daughters who have not known a man;  please, let me bring them out to you may do to them as you wish;</strong> only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>And they said, &#8220;Stand back!&#8221; Then they said, &#8220;This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.&#8221; So they pressed hard against the man Loto, and came near to break down the door. But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. <strong>And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness,</strong> both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.&#8221; (</em>Genesis 19:6-11)</p><p>Lot was overcome by these men, for the sheer strength of their number. And he thought they would be less wicked to take his daughters than to attack his daughters&#8217; husbands, in which they clearly had no interest; being of unnatural sexual orientation. That was not the godly choice of course, but God had mercy on this, Lot&#8217;s confusing and rather impossible situation, as these perpetrators of evil were so clearly possessed by demons, or perhaps even Satan himself, as the text reads they struck the men with blindness, which is not within the capabilities of ordinary men&#8230;.</p><p>AND THIS WOULD BE A LIKENED CASE IN THESE LAST DAYS, AS JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES!</p><p>With sexual sin being one of the most prevalent of all sin among the wicked, and generally throughout the world, over all of our 2,000 years, and even before the Church Age began, this was an inevitable repeat of history for the world at large, especially now that we are so close to the end of time.</p><p>And we have been seeing other manifestations of this through the many unsavory behaviors playing out in our city streets, during the pride parades and White House protests; the transgender community cannot help resist the temptation to expose their disgraceful pride over their sick surgical transformations&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-MLHtkIx6cxU" class="youtube-wrap"

inappropriate sense of entitled &#8216;expression,&#8217; as this &#8216;model&#8217; puts it&#8230;</p><p>However, even with just this one transgender&#8217;s display of &#8216;self-expression,&#8217; the correlation to the days of Lot is unmistakable proof that SO very SOON, JESUS WILL SHOW UP, LARGER THAN ALL LIFE IN THE SKY!</p><p></p><p>OUR HATRED OF EVIL IS

we had such a term, we would use it!) Moreover, the Bible is the only Book that chronicles all three phases of time known to man. </p><p>Everyone understands that God&#8217;s Word covers all of history, but perhaps not the present or future. But it does, nonetheless. And we can even prove this claim through the study of Bible Prophecy.</p><p>And we also see our present time in our Bibles if we consider all of the many teachings we are privy to, as told by Jesus and the Apostles, therefore, we can also view the Bible as a Book that is alive and active in our present day and time, as we learn so many practical lessons through the accounts noted by the Scribes, for these lessons are timeless, inasmuch as neither God&#8217;s Precepts, nor His Character ever changes.&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.&#8221; (</em>Malachi 3:6)</p><p>Moreover, we also have the wisdom we glean from the wisdom recorded in the Proverbs, and the revelations of the Psalmists, along with the many stories of Biblical figures that have been recorded for our knowledge in our amazing Bibles!</p><p>And, even more amazingly, we can also get a glimpse into the future through the prophetic Scriptures that highlight the End of Days; revealing to those with ears to hear what will soon come to complete fruition. </p><p>In Matthew 24, Jesus supplies us with the most detailed and specifically ordained of all; aligning with current events from the digital headlines today, as the man in the video below points out with great awe and humble admittance, And these are all events that will carry on and continue worsen until Jesus comes back, which provides us with the detail regarding the future of our world, aka: End Times Prophecies&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-18juc_KNT1g" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;18juc_KNT1g&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/18juc_KNT1g?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Moreover, the alien deception that Satan has put into place to explain away the Rapture before those who find themselves left behind, in order to hide what really happened, will be the greatest deception of them ALL. And this coincides with the future, in all wicked deception, for those who continue to defy God and His Reality. These lies are already convincing secular society that aliens are legitime beings from another planet who want to &#8216;communicate&#8217; with us. But they are leaving out all the harmful parts&#8212;the harm that deception causes, as well as the harm that comes to those who believe aliens are harmless, because demons are far from harmless, no matter how much Hollywood cutesies them up&#8212; </p><div id="youtube2-6dZbkdRGnjM" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;6dZbkdRGnjM&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6dZbkdRGnjM?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>And there are more reveals woven into the prophetic pages of our Bibles&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only <strong>but also to all who have loved His appearing.&#8221;</strong></em> (2Timothy 4:7-8)</p><p><em>&#8220;But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.&#8221; </em>(1Peter 4:7) </p><p><em>&#8220;so Christ was offered onced to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He <strong>will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.&#8221;</strong></em><strong> </strong>(Hebrews 9:28)</p><p><em>&#8220;And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, ass is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more <strong>as you see the Day approaching.&#8221;</strong> (</em>Hebrews 10:24-25)</p><p><em>&#8220;Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, <strong>but let us watch </strong>and be sober.&#8221; </em>(1Thessalonians 5:6)</p><p><em> &#8220;They shall be Mine,&#8221; says the LORD of  hosts, &#8220;<strong>On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.&#8221;</strong></em><strong> </strong>(Malachi 3:17) </p><p><em>&#8220;And now, little children, abide in Him, <strong>that when He appears</strong>, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.&#8221;</em> (1John 2:28) </p><p>And there are so many more, more than will even fit into this writing.</p><p>Furthermore, Pastor Billy Crone is an expert on this subject. He points this out, as he sits wearing the hat that naysayers claim is on the heads of those who believe in God, and most particularly, prophecy, even before we open our mouths in order to humorously drive his point home &#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-Y1grACZAQvQ" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;Y1grACZAQvQ&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Y1grACZAQvQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>To say this all adds up to excitement is an understatement! The Bible reveals the future in the most mind-blowing and tantalizing way, in order that we would be able to sense it in our bones, that God will amaze us with the beautiful sight of our Lord Jesus coming in the clouds. And then, God will amaze us with the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, who is Jesus in Heaven!</p><p>OH COME Lord JESUS, COME! Your faithful ones are so excited about Your Appearance, and Your Rescue!&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who  are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede  those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dad in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.&#8221; </em>(1Thessalonians 4:15-18)</p><p></p><p></p><p>NKJV</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA["YOU ATHEISTS DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

gentlemen at the next table; sitting by himself. She was taken by the sight of this man, not because of his good looks, but because in her spirit she sensed his longing for the Truth and had almost given up in finding it. She knew he was close to believing, as the Lord whispered that into her ear. So, thereby, she lingered; waiting for an opportunity to strike up a conversation with him; especially considering the fact that Resurrection Sunday was quickly approaching, and she still had one seat open at her dining table.</p><p>The man called the server for another cup of coffee and smiled innocently in her direction; holding up his cup, as if to toast some event or special occasion. </p><p>That made her spring to her feet and she made her way over to him. </p><p>&#8220;Hi! How are you this beautiful day in the life?&#8221; She asked him, in a strange way, that he thought was different, but not at all strange.</p><p>&#8220;Hi! &#8230;..Well, you&#8217;re certainly nice and friendly. What brings you to this cafe?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I come here often, but usually just have a cup of tea and a look around for smiling faces, and also for anyone who may be crying, of course&#8230;.. And I noticed your smile and felt you were someone who would enjoy some friendly conversation&#8230;.I hope you know when I say friendly, that&#8217;s all I mean. I just believe in people reaching out to one another. We&#8217;ve learned to keep far too much to ourselves in this driven, busy life we live.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Oh how true!&#8221; He replied, taking in the aromas and the sights, and the special feeling of the moment.</p><p>&#8220;So, what do you do?&#8221; She asked.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a computer tech for a few offices downtown. How about you?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m a stay-at-home mother and housewife. I usually like to come here when my kids are at a friend&#8217;s house or at one of their after school activities,&#8221; she replied.</p><p>&#8220;Oh, what school do they attend?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;One one that&#8217;s in our living room!&#8221; she answered, with a big smile.</p><p>&#8220;OH, hahahaha. That&#8217;s funny! You have a good sense of humor!&#8221; He replied.</p><p>&#8220;Hahaha. Thanks. Well see we&#8217;re Christians and we don&#8217;t like what we are seeing in the school system,&#8221; she replied.</p><p>&#8220;OH yeah! It&#8217;s pretty bad,&#8221; the man replied. &#8220;So, what&#8217;s it like to be a Christian family?I don&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve ever known any personally.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Well you do now! You know, atheists don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re missing, because with God, life is so much more satisfying&#8230;..You know, in the world all we really have is our good circumstances, otherwise, our world is turned upside down. And it can happen in an instant, but God&#8217;s Joy is Superior; it overrides even our worst circumstances, IF we are close to Him and abide in Him&#8230;.It&#8217;s the best life you can imagine, nothing to do with being perfect by the world&#8217;s standards, but I could go on all day about how great life is when you turn it over to Jesus!&#8221; She replied, with a radiant glow around her smile; captivating his attention further.</p><p>&#8220;Please enlighten me with a few examples,&#8221; he said to her delight.</p><p>&#8220;Okay, when we first moved into our house, we had a serious problem of water in the basement every time it rained&#8230;..And we couldn&#8217;t fix it right away, because we had to save up the money. So I would dread the rain and get angry at the previous owners for not fixing the problem and also neglecting to inform us<em> of </em>the problem. But, God was patient with me, while I had my fits and complaints, until one rainy night that had me slaving for hours. I&#8217;m surprised I got any sleep at all that night&#8230;.. But, then God led me to use the broom and sweep the water to the french drain my husband told me about, so I could take a break from having to carry the heavy pail to the sink to dump it so many times. It hurt my arms and shoulders. And while I was sweeping in the dead quiet of night, God comforted me. I started praising Him and thanking Him that He was there with me in my struggle and the most amazing JOY came over me! And then I began to meditate on the some of my favorite Scriptures and my spirit soared&#8230;..Do ever feel like this amazing comfort come over you in the midst of something difficult or challenging in your life?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;WELL NO, but I sure would like to!&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;WELL, you can, if your heart is true&#8230;.Being a Christian doesn&#8217;t mean having a perfect life, but that God will make everything, every problem, every concern, every dilemma work out perfectly in your life, even if we cannot see the perfection, or it remains as a seed, anyone who has been walking with the Lord for a long time has this sense&#8230;..BUT this is only a reality for those who surrender their lives to Jesus, Who said, &#8220;I am the Vine, and you are the branches,&#8221; (John 15:5). Do you know of anything else in this life that would be as great as that?&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;WELL, no&#8230;..&#8221;</p><p>The great life in which I speak is not based in the way we naturally define great. It goes so much deeper, and it&#8217;s so much better than that, because we have our problems and struggles, but then He shows up and we get to watch Him do His Amazing Work in our lives, teach us His Wise Ways, and lift our spirits when life gets us down&#8230;...</p><p>I&#8217;m not saying we believe and commit ourselves to God to get anything in return, that would be like trying to manipulate God, and He WILL NOT be mocked&#8230;&#8230;.But the benefits of believing definitely far outweigh the benefits that the world has to offer: like, oh, let&#8217;s see&#8230;&#8230;having a boatload of money, a great career to get you that money, which means you must have a great education, which costs a boatload of money, good looks, popularity with people, which when you put all of that together adds up to a boatload of stress and pressure! </p><p>But with the Lord, we are enabled to do whatever we need to do in this life, we can manage without a lot of money, which also carries the unexpected benefit of watching God come through, experiencing the awesome things He will make you able to do, or even a miracle that is clearly Him doing something that no man can even do&#8230;&#8230;And we also end up using our creative imagination to come up with la few lucrative endeavors of our own, at least the potential is there anyway,  if that&#8217;s what&#8217;s in God&#8217;s Will for that person a that time. And that is also remarkable, because even something good like a lot of money, if it&#8217;s not in God&#8217;s Will, will turn out not even being a benefit at all, while something like financial hardship can work out a major breakthrough or blessing or favor, simply because<em> that </em>was the Will of GOD. And His Will is what actually makes this world continue on it&#8217;s axis&#8230;</p><p>And there&#8217;s something else&#8230;&#8230;.see, to an atheist, when your time is up&#8212;<em>it&#8217;s up</em>, but not if you believe in Jesus! He conquered death the moment He was Resurrected. And, not only does that mean we will be resurrected to new life in heaven when we leave this world; we can <em>live</em> a Resurrected <em>Life</em>&#8230;&#8230;</p><p>Now tomorrow is Resurrection Sunday and we are going to church, and then we&#8217;ll come home and celebrate with a great feast of rare roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes and peas, with carrot cake for dessert. Would you like to join us, and just see what you think about God when the day is done?&#8221;</p><p>The man who doubted God just sat there thinking for a few minutes and then he looked up from his lap and hollered, &#8220;YES! I will do that! Thank you so much!&#8221;</p><p>SO the man showed up at the house Easter morning, better referred to as Resurrection Sunday; wearing a casual suit without a tie, and holding a bouquet of daffodils in his hand. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Come on in! Welcome to our home on this most holy of days!&#8221; she declared, as she opened her front door wider, and stepped aside&#8230;.</p><p>Everyone was properly introduced. And right before dinner, the woman stood up and announced:</p><p>&#8220;Before we eat we always read the Scriptures aloud about Jesus&#8217; Resurrection on Resurrection Sunday:</p><p>Matthew 28, verses 5 to 6: <em>But the angel answered and said to the women, &#8216;Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen,  and he said. Come, see the pace where the Lord lay. </em></p><p>Luke 24, verses 6 to 7: <em>He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. </em></p><p>Romans 6, verse 9, knowing that Christ having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.</p><p>Romans 8, verse 8, in verse 34,<em> Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.</em></p><p>And Jesus asked His Disciples in the Gospel of John, chapter 11, verse 25, <em>Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he  shall live. And whoever  lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?</em></p><p>That last part, do you believe this is truly the key to salvation. We must believe that Jesus is who He has said He is, or we will not see heaven, but we instead condemn ourselves to hell,&#8221; the woman concluded. </p><p>Then she disappeared into the kitchen to finish cooking her feast and the other women and children helped set the table with candles in the center. And it was breathtakingly beautiful to see all of this unfolding through the man&#8217;s eyes&#8230; </p><p>And so the man who doubted began to feel his spirit moving and his heart filling with joy, a new sense of appreciation and a sensitivity to the women and children, and even more aligned with their husbands as the strong leaders and protectors of the house&#8230;..</p><p>&#8216;I guess it&#8217;s true! I have not known nor understood what I have been missing! I just knew something was missing!&#8217; And he was amazed as he sat in awe at that dining table; just looking around at the beauty, and the feeling the love of Jesus overtake him. He listened to the woman saying Grace before anyone partook of any food. It was the first time he had ever heard someone say Grace or even knew believers partook of such a meaningful custom as this&#8230;&#8230;And he thought, &#8216;Well, it&#8217;s not even the end of the day yet and I already know what this woman is talking about. Jesus&#8230;&#8230;.. I DO believe in YOU! I can see You sitting here at this table; waiting for this lovely family to join You. And I now join with You too! YOU are the VINE, and I am a branch<em> for You.</em> <em>Do</em> <em>with me what You Will.&#8221;</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,even as God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.</em></p><p><em>For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will  descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.&#8221;</em> (1Thessalonians 4:13-18)</p><p>Yet, most churches want us to be oblivious to this amazing Truth&#8230;.It&#8217;s hard to understand why. We know they fear that people would stop attending their establishments, as they even admit, but there are other reasons for this denial, like they are not studied up on the End Times well enough to teach it. And then there are some who are not even convinced of it, while others tend to hide behind the various &#8216;theories,&#8217; so they can claim that there is no way of knowing. </p><p>This happened in one we attended and the Pastor even tried to use what Jesus said in Acts 1:4-8, to try to say that He doesn&#8217;t know when the Rapture is&#8230;.Well, yes it&#8217;s true while He was in the flesh, God kept Him from knowing certain things, and the timing of the End Times and the Rapture was clearly not something He knew then, BUT HE KNOWS everything, as He sits at the Right Hand of His Father, and IS as one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, therefore, his answer revealed that he only understood part of the story when it comes to what JESUS KNOWS! (I have a theory on this topic: God kept Jesus from knowing the time He would send Him to gather His children in the Rapture in order for those conversations with His Disciples to take place and their questions to be appropriate and relevant. Because if He knew that pivotal detail, He would have just said not to be concerned being it would not affect them. And that means that their conversation was more geared toward the benefit of those future readers of this text that would follow, most particularly God did that for those who are alive today!)</p><p>The Bible also says we are to study and learn <strong>the whole counsel of God and not leave anything out,</strong> as it says at the end of the Bible, and as Paul declares in Acts 20:27.</p><p>Additionally, verses like Isaiah 55:6 &#8212;(&#8220;<em>Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.</em>&#8221;) bring to light even more proof that the Church Age has an expiration date attached, because we know that God gave man 2,000 years to come to His Throne in repentance. But still there are so many who believe and teach that this verse is simply referring to someone in whom God has rejected due to their evil rejection of Him because their chances have run out. Well, of course that is in place here, especially when we consider our mortality, it&#8217;s undeniable. But the bigger picture they tend to leave out&#8230; And, as we know from the verse that talks about there no longer being a sacrifice for those who have tasted the heavenly gift and then turned away, GOD does not wait for the lost forever. But, this particular verse takes us deeper. First of all it&#8217;s addressing all of Israel, not merely one individual, which provides a more overarching perspective to emerge&#8230;.</p><p>And, although much of the prophecy recorded in Isaiah were fulfilled in the New Testament; namely Jesus&#8217; Birth, we do find that Isaiah also prophesied about the End of Days, for we are the last generation&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD&#8217;s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains,  And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.&#8221;</em> (Isaiah 2:2)</p><p><em>&#8220;Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near&#8212;at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.&#8221; </em>(Matthew 24:32-34)</p><p>Here we are in the most relevant, exciting and consequential period of time, when repentance has never been more urgently and desperately needed, but they keep quiet and preach the more traditional Bible lessons. And, they should teach those things, inasmuch as they are of vital importance to all of Christendom. However, it&#8217;s beyond comprehension that the<strong> biggest event </strong>that will ever occur is left out of their Sermons! It&#8217;s hard to believe that there is a valid reason behind that&#8230;.Their reasoning comes down to excuses; nothing that makes it okay to deprive believers of this extraordinary and compelling, even life-altering information to keep us calm and rational through these perilous times, as the Apostle Paul instructs his church in 1Thessalonians 4:18.</p><p>AND Isaiah 55:6 is a parallel to Matthew 25:1-13, as both of these passages describe the end of the Church Age and describe as coming to a close, permanently closed&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also saying, &#8216;Lord, Lord, open to us!&#8217; But he answered and said, &#8216;Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.&#8217; &#8220;Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.&#8221; </em>(Matthew 25:10-13)</p><p>In the verse above, Jesus was addressing His Disciples in telling this parable, which means He was speaking to believers, who would not be here in the tribulation. Thereby He was referring not to His Second Coming, which takes place at the end of the tribulation, but His Appearing in the clouds for the Rapture of the church&#8230;..</p><div id="youtube2-TDg6lK36pvg" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;TDg6lK36pvg&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/TDg6lK36pvg?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>These profound words of foreknowledge, that prophets, like Isaiah, as well as Apostles like Paul and Peter, His Disciple contributed to God&#8217;s Word confirm the End Times even more. They were mandated by God to have share this vital knowledge, so that more souls would heed the time-sensitive urgency of this message and hopefully avoid procrastinating coming to God&#8217;s Throne in repentance. AND the urgency thereof cannot be understated. </p><p>And there are so many more End Times passages, like Isaiah 24-27, chapters 12 through 14 in Zechariah, and Jeremiah 12:12, 30:7 and chapter 51, and Daniel 7-12&#8230;most particularly 9:24-27! And so much more about His appearing and Day of the Lord, and on and on, as the Bible is about 30% prophecy, (and some teachers claim it&#8217;s even more than that)&#8212;</p><p>https://www.foi.org/2023/02/24/6-reasons-to-study-prophecy/</p><p>And in the New Testament, we have 2Timothy 3:1-5, 2Peter 3 and OF COURSE, the entire Book of Revelation! AND THERE ARE SO MANY MORE subtle little nuggets of this Truth woven into other Books like Hebrews; referencing the coming Appearing of Jesus, the Day of Christ, and the Day of the Lord, and judgement Day woven all throughout the pages of God&#8217;s Word!</p><p>God provided believers with His Instructions on the reality that the Church Age will come to it&#8217;s inevitable and permanent end. They point us to the season, that we are the generation, and have provided many intriguing details;  using language like &#8220;His Appearing,&#8221; which can only mean one thing! IT can&#8217;t refer to each believer at the time of his or her death, because saying it that way implies that we will ALL see Him at the same glorious moment, as He comes down into our atmosphere and calls us upward! </p><p>God is helping us to be ready with these detailed prophetic Scriptures, so that we would know enough to &#8216;get our houses into order&#8217; as the prophecy teachers put it. Because those who are oblivious will ultimately have to deal with confusion and that may lead to worry and distraction. And that confusion could even lead some lukewarm believers to anger toward God or even a falling away. </p><p>But, for those who take the time to study and understand there is great excitement, even in these perilous times, because seeing every detail happening in our modern world being spoken of in God&#8217;s Word, brings the Truth of His Word to life, as we can see the End Times prophecies playing out in real time&#8230;That not only functions as a strengthener of our faith, it also brings such a wonderful sense of comfort and peace, because we can see right through liars and even the reason and motivation for those things, as the wicked desperately try to hold onto the deceptive tricks that their father Satan has directed and instructed them to follow! </p><p>SO, even without our churches teaching these vital lessons, finding these things out on our own really helps us to not fear what we see going on, or worry about the wars and rumors of wars, as Jesus comforted His Disciples; saying, &#8216;<em>And you will hear of</em> <em>wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to  pass, but the end is not yet;&#8217;</em> in Matthew 24:6. And we have so much more, like Paul&#8217;s reassuring words for his church as he taught the Thessalonians this same sort of discernment to bring them peace and comfort, as noted previously&#8230;&#8230;</p><p>SO what we ought to be telling each other isn&#8217;t &#8216;Oh No what we become of us? We are at war with Iran,&#8217; we can bring the prophetic reality to the forefront of our conversations and thereby, provide our brethren who accept this wisdom great assistance in the vital matter of peace.

other saint here in the New World, because those in whom God has assigned a career in Heaven, those skills they will begin to cultivate in the here and now, in this most delightful Millennial Kingdom, where Jesus reigns Supreme! And, like with every case, Linzy, if you had not followed the Lord&#8217;s direction and completed your earthly assignment of writing these stories, this reward would not have come to pass for you!&#8221;</p><p>Linzy smiled in appreciation, and bowed facing the angel. And then the Angel Madeline continued speaking before the children and parents, with Linzy at her side&#8212;</p><p>&#8220;Our Great God and Father has put that seed inside of each of His saints, even as he or she still resided in his or her mother&#8217;s womb, so that later in life His Instructions might be followed carefully,&#8221; the Angel Madeline announced to all who sat waiting in the children&#8217;s library story room for Linzy Bruno to read her teaching, fictional stories about God's Love and spiritual growth and those necessary, enriching trials we all must endure  and hopefully learn from&#8230;.</p><p>Also, Jesus wanted me to tell you that the only reason for your not succeeding as an author in the earthly realm was due to only one key factor: He was keeping you from selling the Gospel. And, even your secular kids&#8217; books were not in His Will for you to sell, because that would have taken your career into a whole different direction&#8230;&#8230;All that Christian fiction, and the non, He wanted you to give away just as much as you could. And you pleased Him when you heeded His Call by disabling all of your Amazon books, and then put everything on Substack, and the other platforms for free. And that explains why you never did feel right about <em>even trying</em> to sell <em>any</em> of your material at any point all throughout this refining process that God had you go through, so that you could now receive your reward here in His Millennial Kingdom. </p><p>He directed me to have you read those corresponding verses to everyone, because many get it wrong; believing that because it is good, and they have the ability to sell it, that <em>that</em> alone makes it a good idea. But God is saying, any Christian book, fiction or nonfiction has great potential to lead someone to Christ, and the gospel He intended to be free, because salvation is free. Therefore, every Christian writing, poems included, should not be sold, but shared generously in the giving thereof&#8212;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg" width="1024" height="1024" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1024,&quot;width&quot;:1024,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:161604,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://linzybruno.substack.com/i/192087925?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WC-w!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F78789104-6a21-458e-adcd-e46b6bcc329d_1024x1024.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Just as we do read in 2 verses of Scripture.

The angel said, without being able to hide her smile of excitement for this boy&#8217;s enthusiasm for the LORD&#8230;</p><p>And, during her reading of this first story, several children raised their hands to ask a question or make a comment, which is how Linzy knew that she was making an impact, being her listeners were engaged in what the story was teaching about angels watching over little children as they play. </p><p>Then after that, Linzy said farewell to each child with a hug; saying: &#8220;We are nothing without our Lord JESUS!&#8221; And all the kids were taken home in great joy and satisfaction&#8230;</p><p>&#8220;Okay, Jason will take Karly and her mother, Cherilyn home.

And, Diana, will you take Ashley and her mother, Carol  home&#8230;.&#8221; Madeline continued, until every child was assigned a transmitter. And this was only one of God&#8217;s Assignments for this important job that kept the new kingdom from using the vehicle method of transportation, inasmuch as <em>that system </em>was only necessary for use in the Church Age.</p><p>And Linzy continued to read one story at a time, until she had read every one. And then she started writing more to add to her collection and to her reading list, just as every saint was given this favor, in order that they may come to fully realize their careers in Heaven, as the Lord had ordained that each would be able to live out each of his or her own private Millennial fantasies&#8230;..BUT ONLY IF that fantasy was indeed from the ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD&#8230;</p><div

And, each one continues to reflect back even more of that Exaltation, that belongs ONLY to Jesus; singing and shouting,</p><p>&#8220;Oh JESUS!

(For example, we cannot know all that much now, so we all have questions, like, will there be a sun and a moon during those 1,000 years?) Because, until that moment arrives for God&#8217;s saints, we only know that it will paradise, because earth and heaven will be as one, just like in the Garden of Eden, just as God had Ordained from before the beginning of time: people living to well over 100, all of the animals laying down peaceably together, children playing safely in the streets, and the Jews will be living in the honor and respect, and safety they have always longed for&#8230;..</p><p>OH, and that we will come back to earth on horses with JESUS leading the way to rule and reign with Him&#8212;that&#8217;s about all the Bible eludes to in the Book of Zachariah, chapter 8&#8230;..Therefore, please excuse anything that doesn&#8217;t strike you as perfectly, prophetically accurate, especially considering the fact that this is coming from a place of dreams, possible ones, but dreams nonetheless&#8230;..Thank YOU!</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places.&#8221; </em>(Psalm 18:32-33)</p><p>What the word perfect means here may not be what first comes to mind, because God uses a word like this to mean something a bit higher than our minds naturally, immediately go to&#8230;&#8230;I do believe that is the case here, what the first part of this passage means is not that Christians are given a perfect way in life, where everything looks clear from the start and we naturally just know what God has in mind around every turn and corner&#8230;&#8230;In fact, that is not even close, as all believers must come to understand and accept, because we all have problems in this life. BUT, God&#8217;s Plan is even better, as we can glean even more out of the twists and turns in life, than we do if everything is just perfect all the time and there are no challenges and that leaves us with nothing to learn or cause us to stand in awe of our Lord God&#8230;.</p><p>I believe this verse teaches two things, first that when things do work out right at the beginning perfectly, we need to acknowledge that it was indeed HIM to make that so, and the second thing is that in God&#8217;s Economy a word like perfect ought to be studied out. In this context, the word perfect implies not that everything always falls into place, because God may just take us in a few circles first before we see deliverance from a difficult issue&#8230;. And, perfect to God could also at times imply that even the trying stages of the path He has us on are perfect because they face us toward that avenue that God wants us to walk toward, even without knowing every step of the process, but just trusting Him and continuing to seek His Counsel&#8230;&#8230;.AND, this facing us in the right direction then takes us the rest of the way; (unless we do something to slow down the process,) we go from confusion to victory, and sometimes that even happens overnight, after a long difficult road has been travelled, and that miraculous event highlights God&#8217;s Handiwork even more definitively! And what He deems perfect for one soul, is never anything like what He has for someone else, because He deals with everything that concerns each one of His followers on a strictly individual basis, and always in line with His Word.</p><p>The Psalmist who wrote this beautiful, worshipful bit of praise was King David. He had awakened to the fact that whatever happened in his life, especially His good gifts, only comes to fruition due to Almighty God; we have zero ability to make much of anything come to pass, sure we can control worldly issues in our homes and at our workplaces, but David praised the Lord in this passage because he had this revelation: that when his life works out right, it wasn&#8217;t due to anything he could have done or even have thought to do, but Him and only Him can turn our worlds around and bring about something perfect that we could never have seen coming, and we certainly could never have brought to pass ourselves, in David&#8217;s case it was the sparring of his life from the hand of Saul&#8230;</p><p>But, this isn&#8217;t to say that we don&#8217;t reap the consequences for our actions, or that our hands are tied when it comes to doing good, like in being a blessing to others, it is strictly speaking to the fact that only God can take something that is dead and bring it to life, and life extraordinary&#8230;</p><p>David didn&#8217;t fully come to repentance until Psalms 32 and 50, (checkthis!) but here in chapter 18, he is clearly beginning to comprehend this Truth, through his continued relationship and spiritual growth with God.</p><p>God makes it to rain on the just and the unjust alike. And rain in this context includes both the benefits as well as the symbolic woes of rain in someone&#8217;s life&#8212;</p><p><em> &#8220;that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.&#8221;</em> (Matthew 5:45)</p><p>This verse, although not a direct parallel, is nonetheless important to bring into a study on Psalm 18:32, because it&#8217;s so important to note that God is saying He arms us with strength, which implies we will go through hard things prior to that favor He gives later, in part because we are being tested in and through those tough times we all at times find ourselves in, and that&#8217;s when things seem to climax to the max in the difficulty of the situation. No, the perfect part is how we can look back after going through something and see that if God didn&#8217;t move in our situation in the exact way He did, with say a phone call coming at that perfect moment, or a certain medication arriving just in time before tragedy was to strike; God does this sort of thing with the big as well as those little things in our lives. And sometimes we don&#8217;t even know what God is doing for a long time, if ever&#8230;..But, when He shows us something through our experience, plus our studying of His Word, it&#8217;s always amazing what we can see that He had made come to pass on our behalf&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly  dividing the word of truth.&#8221;</em> (2Timothy 2:15) </p><p>Furthermore, God didn&#8217;t want us to have an oversimplified version of His Truth, instead He made it deeply profound. We are His children, but He addresses and appeals to us in His Word in a very sophisticated manner; He speaks to us as the spiritually mature adult He expects us to be. And, this is not to say that His Word is written over our heads, but what He does project to all who read is the strong prompting to take everything He says extremely seriously, and seek to comprehend the meat of the Word, and not only the milk, as recorded in 1Corinthians 3:2, or as Paul also puts it, putting on the &#8216;new man&#8217;, as recorded in Ephesians 4:24. And wisdom comes from sound doctrine is another vital point and yet another parallel, as we read in Titus 2:1, as well as other places&#8230;.</p><p>And another helpful thing we may come to notice upon studying His Word is the encouragement to study. Because when we read, it&#8217;s wonderful and awe-inspiring, but when we break down every word as to the full meaning, suddenly a whole new world opens up before us, because we can then see the more complete picture in everything that verse or passage is communicating on God&#8217;s level of interpretation. </p><p>And, also noteworthy is that parallel verses can confirm meaning and paint a clearer and more definitive picture of the whole counsel we may learn through those Scriptures&#8230;.</p><p>It&#8217;s also noteworthy to add, that it&#8217;s not as though God made a secret code for only smart people to latch onto, it&#8217;s just that biblically it does make sense that we would be required to do deeper studies on any verse or passage of Scripture that we find ourselves repeatedly wondering about, so we can take in more than merely what drove our first and foremost impression&#8230;</p><p>THE BREAKDOWN OF THE VERSE&#8212;</p><p>The first verse provides the bigger picture of how that God is THE ONE who is behind the scenes making things work out for our good, that it&#8217;s nothing we can do to make that good outcome come to fruition. And then in verse 33, David uses the illustration of the deer. Deer run fast and are, therefore, able to escape trouble when they detect it coming over the horizon, which is a perfect analogy as to God&#8217;s Handiwork. Moreover, He removes or redirects the danger through His ultimate Sovereignty over every situation. And as we can plainly detect at the end of this passage, which states, &#8216;He sets me on my high places,&#8217; hence, He repositions us so that we can face that right direction in order to claim our place in that better outcome; the one that is in His Will for us&#8230;.</p><p>AND, He does this for anyone He chooses, whether it&#8217;s to provide that glorious experience with Him for the benefit of one of His followers, or for any purpose He may have in bringing glory to Himself&#8212;</p><p>It&#8217;s not that God has bestowed upon me this perfect life. Just like everyone, the saved and the unsaved alike, there is no such thing as a perfect life, but that&#8217;s not what the verse is saying anyway. Because this verse provides the particulars of this promise, and there are parallel verses as well, which God&#8217;s Word provides for those of us who seek out the breakdown of Scripture in order that we may absorb every little tidbit of what God is really communicating to us individually. Notwithstanding God&#8217;s Word projects a spiritual wisdom that is for all, but that doesn&#8217;t mean He doesn&#8217;t also instruct us in highly individual manner. </p><p>Because, as we read in Romans 8:28, God does indeed turn our bad into good, in accordance with His individualized plan for each one of His children, which makes this verse another parallel when it comes to God&#8217;s special little blessings that He does for His Good Pleasure that He gets from delivering us in our betterment&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-uJTRYyvtL24" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;uJTRYyvtL24&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/uJTRYyvtL24?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The way that God has winked and smiled down at me has always amazed me. And there are far too many examples to include here&#8230;</p><p>When I am going through some trial that seems to make zero sense in the midst of it, there is often great revelation coming out the other side. For example, there was a brief, recent period when my husband and I, as well as our adult son were faced with a delima, we found ourselves faced with a coming rent increase where we lived in an already overpriced apartment building. And we were tired of having to move nearly every year for one reason or another, and we were also confused as to where to go, even what state to consider moving to, because we absolutely could not and would not spend more money for a place that we all agreed wasn&#8217;t even worth the cost we had already paid that past year. Then a phone call came that would change everything. My husband&#8217;s Uncle, who had recently lost his wife, wanted us to come and live with him. And, long story short, now we are in the process of purchasing our own home instead of having to rent anything at all!  It it&#8217;s all due to the fact that God made a change that has made our way &#8216;perfect!&#8217; </p><p>Sometimes it happens in a quick and clear cut sort of manner like this example, but this sort of thing comes about differently every time, whether it&#8217;s a big thing or a small thing, we can see God doing miraculous things if we just take the time to look and then to study His Word for clues, while we seek His continued guidance from beginning to end&#8230;&#8230;</p><p></p><p>NKJV</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[MEGA CHURCHES GOING OUT OF STYLE!]]></title><description><![CDATA[But Not All Will Find Truth Who Leave]]></description><link>https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/mega-churches-going-out-of-style</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://linzybruno.substack.com/p/mega-churches-going-out-of-style</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linzy Bruno]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 14:22:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/5GucBXhsSGM" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="youtube2-5GucBXhsSGM" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;5GucBXhsSGM&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/5GucBXhsSGM?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Finally, the good news has come; mega churches are collapsing! But is this development really what it appears to be?</p><p>At first glance, this seems shocking, because of the ear-tickling prophecy we&#8217;ve been watching go on for some years now. But then if we remember that a One World Religion will be coming to every culture on the globe during the tribulation, we have to acknowledge that this trend will not by and large morph its way into anything good. The old framework must begin to transform itself into something, just as blasphemous, but not quite the same, in order for the next part of prophetic history to come to fruition, namely, the one third branch of what is coming&#8212;the One World Order, which branches will be based in religion, government and economy. The world will be under the one and only governmental control of the Antichrist, religion will be forced with only one so-called &#8216;church,&#8217; with the worship of the Antichrist set as a life or death scenario. And the Antichrist will rule the left behind with that tyrannical government with the one digital currency, (as recorded in Revelation 13:11-18.)</p><p>We are witnessing a transformation process from the Mega Church craze to those who will lack vision and follow this new trend, and the few who will see the writing on the wall, and fall to their knees..</p><p>Of course it's always been obvious that Mega Churches predominately teach so-called doctrines that fill their bank accounts, but now their attendees are finally starting to see that these organizations are based in business and finance, NOT in our Lord Jesus, no matter how much they may declare His Name... And, with every one of them being multimillionaires, true believers cannot even be blind enough to not to see right through them. But now this wisdom is finally affecting others who have, apparently unbeknownst to them, been living in darkness, for these empires are beginning to crumble for lack of attendance, which equates to lagging funds&#8230;.</p><p>It's pretty fascinating watching God work. His Justice is The LAW, and no man can out do, out wit, or out challenge Almighty God. They lose before the game even starts. </p><p>Yes, isn&#8217;t it wonderful? The prosperity gospel finally crumbling because stadium attendees are realizing that these pastors are the only ones getting rich&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-v2rJoWn0U4I" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;v2rJoWn0U4I&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/v2rJoWn0U4I?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>AND look at this evidence that Paula White is only interested in her own prosperity!&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-qriKz4L_bXs" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;qriKz4L_bXs&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/qriKz4L_bXs?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><em>&#8220;For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.&#8221; </em>(1Timothy 6:10)</p><p>Wow, through the above verse, we can not only detect that drop dead fact that money is at the root of most all evil, it goes on to explain that it even causes the faithful to falter, but of course that only can occur when the heart has been harboring greed, which then reveals that the greed has been the true motivator. And, <em>that</em> indicates that evil must have been the condition of that person&#8217;s heart all along! And then, the verse gets into the punishment that will follow. And that person needs to look in the mirror when this happens, inasmuch as the verse reveals the fact that it was all that person&#8217;s fault from start to finish&#8230;..So if any of these prosperity teachers ever find themselves on the street without a home, that reveals that drop dead fact&#8212;They brought it on themselves&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-UwKH39hop1A" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;UwKH39hop1A&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/UwKH39hop1A?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>And, also noteworthy in this surprising development; this is an illustration of the furtherance of the God-Ordained separating of the Wheat and the Tares, recorded in Matthew 13:24-30, and the Sheep and the Goats, recorded in Matthew 25:31-46, as Jesus used these analogies in the form of parables in order to depict the clear fact of the matter&#8230;</p><p>AND, this phenomenon is unveiled through the obvious fact as to who these people really are underneath, inasmuch as it is no longer difficult to tell which side these people, and others are choosing, for what is truly at the core of all their doings, they can no longer keep hidden, because what they choose to do is so obviously not of GOD. </p><p>And, also poignant and enlightening is the way that God has been waiting to punish the wicked, in order that the righteous would not be in the line of His Fire, as the Wheat and the Tares parable does indeed include in Jesus&#8217; Illustration&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;&#8230;&#8230;..The servant said to him, &#8216;Do you want us to go and gather them up?&#8217; But he said, &#8216;No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;</em> (Matthew 13:28b-30a)</p><p>Furthermore, God&#8217;s punishment shows up in other parallel verses, like this one, in which He has decreed in His Word for further clarity and consistency of doctrinal Truths&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.&#8221; </em>(Ezekiel 18:30)</p><p>In light of these things, perhaps our prayer should be, not for God to change the course of history being written, in which He is the Author, but for this shift, in which we are in the climatic midst of, would bring lost souls to the Truth, with a consequent result of a strong and steadfast revelation of Christ Jesus, our Lord! </p><p></p><p>OH LORD, COME! We have made our house ready!</p><p>YOUR faithful followers are ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR GRAND AND GLORIOUS RETURN LORD JESUS, OUR

rapture.</strong> Not by sensational claims or numerical IQs, but by the <strong>clear prophetic indicators</strong> the Bible gives for discerning the <em>season</em> of Christ&#8217;s return.</p><p><strong>The Rapture</strong> is a biblically grounded event prophesied in Scripture in which Jesus Christ will <em>suddenly</em> and <em>supernaturally</em> gather His Church, those who are truly born again, <em>out of the earth</em>, both the dead in Christ and the living, to meet Him in the air. It is the next imminent, unfulfilled event in God&#8217;s prophetic timeline.</p><p>The word <em>&#8220;rapture&#8221;</em> is <strong>not</strong> found in the King James Bible, but it comes from the Latin <em>&#8220;rapturo,&#8221;</em> which translates the Greek word <strong>&#7937;&#961;&#960;&#940;&#950;&#969; (harpaz&#333;)</strong> meaning <em>&#8220;to seize, snatch, or catch up&#8221;</em> &#8212; used in <strong>1 Thessalonians 4:17</strong>.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;<strong>For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.</strong>&#8221; &#8212; 1 Thessalonians 4:16&#8211;17</em></p></blockquote><p>While no man knows the <strong>day nor the hour</strong> (Matthew 24:36), <strong>Jesus rebuked those who could read the weather but not discern the times</strong> (Matthew 16:3). We are not told to set dates, but we are absolutely commanded to <em>watch</em>, <em>be sober</em>, and <em>understand the times</em> (1 Thessalonians 5:1&#8211;6).</p><p>Now, let&#8217;s break this down clearly, biblically, and rigorously.</p><h2><strong>1. Scriptural Clarity: You Can Know the Season, Not the Day</strong></h2><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.&#8221; </strong>(1 Thessalonians 5:4)</em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.&#8221;</strong>(Matthew 24:33)</em></p></blockquote><p>While date-setting is forbidden, discerning the nearness of the rapture <strong>is not only allowed &#8212; it is expected</strong>.</p><h2><strong>2. Indicators in the Bible That Point to the End of the Church Age</strong></h2><p>Here are <strong>ten signs</strong> that Scripture says will mark the generation leading to the rapture and Tribulation. All are happening now, some for the first time in history:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

What Jesus Called &#8220;The Beginning of Sorrows&#8221;</strong></h2><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars&#8230; Nation shall rise against nation&#8230; famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.&#8221; </strong></em>(Matthew 24:6&#8211;8)</p></blockquote><p>These aren&#8217;t the Tribulation yet &#8212; they&#8217;re <strong>birth pains</strong>. And what do birth pains do? They increase in <strong>intensity</strong> and <strong>frequency</strong>. Compare world events now to even 20 years ago:</p><ul><li><p>Global pandemics</p></li><li><p>Ethnic strife</p></li><li><p>Natural disasters</p></li><li><p>Government overreach</p></li><li><p>Spiritual deception</p></li></ul><p>All are <strong>accelerating</strong>, not diminishing.</p><h2><strong>4. The Fig Tree Generation Argument</strong></h2><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.&#8221; </strong>(Matthew 24:34)</em></p></blockquote><p>This comes right after Jesus speaks of the <strong>fig tree</strong> &#8212; a symbol of Israel (Hosea 9:10, Jeremiah 24:5). Many scholars understand this to mean:</p><ul><li><p>The generation that witnesses the rebirth of Israel (1948) will also witness the end.</p></li></ul><p>If a generation biblically is around 70&#8211;80 years (Psalm 90:10), <strong>we are right on the edge</strong>. The fig tree bloomed. Time is not limitless.</p><h2><strong>5. The Rapture Must Occur Before the Tribulation</strong></h2><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;God hath not appointed us to wrath&#8230;&#8221;</strong> </em>(1 Thessalonians 5:9)</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.&#8221;</strong><br></em>(2 Thessalonians 2:7)</p></blockquote><p>The Holy Spirit through the Church is <strong>restraining evil</strong>. Once the Church is raptured, the Antichrist will be revealed. This makes the rapture <strong>imminent</strong>, and all the infrastructure for global control is already here.</p><h2><strong>6. What About the Claim by Young Soon Kim and His IQ of 276?</strong></h2><p>An IQ of 276 may make someone intellectually brilliant, but <strong>biblical discernment is not measured by IQ &#8212; it is measured by fear of the Lord and knowledge of Scripture.</strong></p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom&#8230;&#8221;</strong> (Proverbs 9:10)</em></p></blockquote><p>If Young Soon Kim claims Christ will return in this generation <strong>without setting a date</strong>, then he is making a biblically <strong>permissible observation</strong>. But if he claims special revelation or divine insight <strong>apart from Scripture</strong>, that must be <strong>rejected</strong>.</p><h2>Get Coby Mendoza&#8217;s stories in your inbox</h2><p>Join Medium for free to get updates from this writer.</p><p>Subscribe</p><p>Remember me for faster sign in</p><p>Jesus did not say &#8220;the wise of the world&#8221; would understand the times.

Conclusion: Are We Near the Rapture?</strong></h2><p><strong>Yes. All signs point to it. We are in the final minutes of the final hour.</strong></p><p>You are not crazy. You are not extreme. You are watching with oil in your lamp while the world sleeps or scoffs.</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.&#8221;</strong> </em>(Luke 21:28)&#8221; END QUOTE</p><p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p><p>It&#8217;s also important to note that inasmuch as AI is inherently wicked; being based in godlessness, it doesn't stand to reason that the Rapture would appear as a drop dead fact to artificial intelligence creators, but it seems as though it would at least make them stop and scratch their heads, as what they uncover comes as straightforward answers that have enough influence and factual, biblical proof to create for themselves an opportunity to gain revelation about JESUS! But, that's our God! <em>He does and can use anything </em>He sees fit to to do His Marvelous Works!&#8212;</p></blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The LORD has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom.&#8221; </em>(Proverbs 16:4)</p><p>The above verse tells us that God is using the wicked for His Righteous Purposes, not only to help them see His Reality, but even in order to aid in bringing His Master Plan to it&#8217;s complete and final fruition. Because before He pours out His Wrath on the world during the 7 year tribulation, He is using Satan to begin the distinct division between the wheat and the tares, as it is recorded in Matthew 13:24-30 and the sheep and the goats, as it is recorded in Matthew 25:31-46, as Jesus used both of these analogies, in the form of parables to teach on this interesting and poignant subject matter&#8230;..</p><p>And if we are paying attention to what is going on, on the world stage, we can detect the devil&#8217;s role in this, inasmuch as he and/or his minions are the ones who are influencing this ever-increasing wickedness we are seeing, even playing out in our streets for all who observe to see for themselves&#8230;..But, that may be only like a dream for the believer, because what it does indeed appear that they only become further emboldened by what they hear and see, which is even somewhat due to wicked local legislation, as laws that enable them further to commit crime is what is evident to the casual observer&#8212;TRULY, these lost souls need our prayers and Jesus-declaring posts, to prompt them toward reconsideration of everything they hold dear. </p><p>Moreover, Satan does know about the Rapture, and he has his ways, probably with the help of his minions, to get that information to those of his followers of his choosing&#8230;.BUT, sadly, his reveal of little bits and pieces of Truth coming from those who either leave his allegiance, or are under God&#8217;s Mandate to reveal certain things,. BUT, generally speaking, the wicked are by and large focused on misleading their fellow lost souls, like with their promotion of the alien deception, that so many of the left behind will fall for; further keeping them from GOD, and His Reality.</p><p>It&#8217;s also clear that AI data is born out of data annotation; targeting those who are unaware, as this latest technology is a majorly evil force, BUT for now, we can still utilize for our godly and  righteous purposes. (But that will not go on much longer!)</p><p>Therefore, it also stands to reason that these proven realities, give credence to further confirm the Truth of the Rapture to naysayers, and scoffers, which by another amazing chance, IS also a sign of the Rapture! As we read in 2Peter 3:3-4&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, &#8220;Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.&#8221; </em>(nkjv)</p><p>What is actually being misunderstood here is that nothing has really changed, even if studied, and even if we were to back track all the way to Israel&#8217;s forefathers!</p><p>This is a very interesting and relevant piece to the bigger picture. Because these naysayers are evidently only able to detect the status quo: the weather has always seen unusual patterns that cannot be explained, there has always been evil, and lawlessness and the list goes on&#8230;..</p><p>They fail to see the increase in frequency and intensity the Bible talks about; using phrases like, &#8216;the birth pains,&#8217; and &#8216;the beginning of sorrows&#8217; to depict the atmosphere of <strong>our specific </strong>time, and the prophetic headquarters set in and playing out in Israel. And it was Jesus Who used this descriptive terminology in the KJV, which is the same as the NKJV, while the NIV, ESV, and NASB and the NLT use &#8216;Birth pains&#8217; in order to give a highly relatable illustration for the increasing frequency and intensity we are indeed seeing!&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. <strong>All these are the beginning of sorrows.&#8221; </strong></em> (Matthew 24:7-8, nkjv)</p><p><em>&#8220;Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. <strong>All these are the beginning of birth pains.&#8221; </strong></em>(Matthew 24:7-8, niv)</p><p></p><p>NKJV </p><p>&amp; KJV (Used by Coby

the hearers.&#8221; </em>(Ephesians 4:29)</p><p>Although we Christians are not focused on our own feelings, and getting our own way, we ought to be focused on the feelings of those in which we come into contact. If we're truly humble, our opinion should come second to another person's feelings. If I say to myself, '&#8216;my opinion doesn't matter here&#8217; maybe that will come to mind when someone asks for my opinion, and I don't have anything nice to reply, if I'm to be brutally honest. Even stating those words,&#8216; OH, my old opinion doesn't matter!&#8217; Or,  comment on something I do like about a woman&#8217;s dress when asked, saying something like, &#8220;I like the pretty flowers!&#8221; Because while I do think the flowers are nice, I can decide to keep out the part about how the dress is too busy in its pattern, and the flowers are too bright in my opinion&#8230;..This is a better response, because of it&#8217;s positive aspect, which is more Christlike. And reacting with this meekness also demonstrates humility, and that's the example a Christian needs to project.</p><p>And this reaction shows that we're making a point to keep our the whole extent of our opinion out of the matter, so that the focus can be on that person who asks the question, by answering with his or her best interest at heart; choosing the most positive response as possible, which is something we believe that person needs to hear, without crossing that dividing line into dishonesty.  </p><p>Like if a young, seemingly insecure woman of around 20 years asks me about her new haircut, which she has been crying over for days. And I think she&#8217;s so pretty that her hairdo makes no real difference, even though I see that the hairstylist did do a bad job, I should tell her that! And maybe add that her bangs will grow in really fast because that&#8217;s hair that is freshly grown, so it grows faster than the length. And that sort of edifying response may even help her see herself in a new, more self-gracious light&#8230;</p><p>The Bible does make this point. Like, with those 2 sisters, for example, Rachel and Leah. Rachel was the one blessed with physical beauty and the Bible makes that clear. But the other one the Bible describes as having &#8216;delicate eyes&#8217;&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Leah&#8217;s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form  and appearance.&#8221; </em>(Genesis 29:17)</p><p>How beautifully the Bible puts things is something to keep in mind, because with God ALL things from giving to charity to the way we speak, He Decrees are to be beautiful. Because we can take the beauty out of anything, we mere mortals are awfully good at that. We can take a beautiful gesture and then brag to our friends, which the Bible warns is ungodly, because it makes our generosity all about ourselves. And we even lose any reward from Him! (SEE Matthew 6:1-7) </p><p>There's always a way, through this practice to use our words to exalt a fellow, vulnerable human being, which we all are when we put ourselves out there and ask someone else's opinion, whether it's about our hairdo, special abilities, cracking jokes about our intelligence, or lack there of&#8212;anything&#8230;.</p><p>Being humble means more than simply not thinking too highly about ourselves. (SEE Romans 12:4) Because the whole point of being honest is lost if our words lose their edifying purpose in the process. I'm not talking about codling someone's weakness, which only makes that person weaker, or strengthening a delusion; I'm talking about those times we all find ourselves in where someone asks something like, &#8216;How do I look?&#8217;</p><p>But in the end, if our honest answer isn&#8217;t edifying, what good is it? If it tears someone down, it's no longer a question of honesty, but of something more important. Because this situation requires the brutal kind of honesty. See Ephesians 4:29 noted below. There are times when hearing the truth does more harm than good. </p><p>When Jesus demonstrated brutal honesty, it was to the Pharisees who challenged Him, and He responded with the highest, ultimate authority that belongs only to Him. So that's an example of His jurisdiction of His unmatchable authority. Which leads to another point, when we focus more on honesty than edification, we are in essence, acting more like a Pharisee than a Christ-follower, as they stood on ceremony, as the saying goes; making the following of rules a bigger priority than that of projecting in Christlikeness&#8230;</p><p>Responding to another's request for my opinion may call for me to say to myself, &#8216;My opinion doesn&#8217;t matter in this case. How can I reply in a way that will edify and uplift this person whose heart is raw and exposed right now?&#8217; Then, give him or her my most loving and merciful response. And this also further demonstrates doing unto others. </p><p>Here is the AI answer. It is worthy of displaying here, as this response aligns perfectly with what the Bible teaches on this fragile subject&#8212;</p><p><strong>AI Answer</strong></p><p><strong>&#8220;The Bible does not explicitly state that your opinion doesn't matter when someone asks for your thoughts on their appearance. However, it provides strong principles on how to balance honesty with kindness in such situations.&#8221;</strong></p><p><strong>RELEVANT VERSES NOTED ABOVE:</strong></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.&#8221; </strong></em><strong>(Ephesians 4:29)</strong></p><p><strong>AI also confirmed that the word corrupt in this context is not explicitly refers to dishonesty, but even honest words that do not edify&#8212;</strong></p><p><strong>Highlights Taken From AI Answer:</strong></p><p><strong>&#8220;The word &#8220;corrupt&#8221; (sapros) in Ephesians 4:29 includes harsh, hurtful words, even if they are one&#8217;s honest opinion, because the verse defines acceptable speech by its impact&#8212;edifying others&#8212;not by its raw honesty.</strong></p><p><strong>Definition: This Greek word (sapros) describes rotten fruit, putrid fish, trees that are unhealthy. </strong></p><p><strong>The Purpose of Speech: The text commands that speech should be &#8220;good for necessary edification&#8221;and&#8221;Impart grace to the hearers.&#8221; The goal is to strengthen, encourage, and bless the listener, not to simply express one&#8217;s opinions regardless of the damage.&#8221;</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>NKJV</strong></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE END OF OUR FAITH:]]></title><description><![CDATA[A Vital Key To The

Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, <strong>receiving the end of your faith</strong>&#8212;the salvation of your souls.&#8221;</em> (1Peter 1:8-9)</p><p>The Books of Peter, he speaks a great deal on suffering in order to show the stark difference between life on earth and life in Heaven; his teachings spoke often of the End of Days&#8230;.And we know that he is referencing the End of Days even more assuredly, because of what he states in a previous verse&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again  to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away,  reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready  t<strong>o be revealed in the last time.</strong>&#8221; </em>(1Peter 1:3-5)</p><p>And in this, his epistle, he instructs believers to be watchmen in regard to the coming of the Lord!&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.&#8221; </em>(1Peter 4:7)</p><p>Peter is leading somewhere with his speech, because a little after that, he concludes that the time of the end will have come, and implying that it will be marked the Lord&#8217;s coming,&#8212;</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God, </strong>and if it begins with us first, what will  be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?&#8221; </em>(Peter 4:17)</p><p>Note he is referring to the &#8216;house of God,&#8217; which does not imply individuals meeting the Lord at the time of death, but when the Lord comes&#8230;.</p><p>In this life, the only way to have a relationship with God is through faith in His Son. And this &#8216;life&#8217; in which John is referring to is our permanent, real, eternal Life, which starts in the Spirit here on earth. But this amazing new life can only be realized through the exclusive relationship with God that opens unto us through our faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord Who saves us. And the Bible even acknowledges that no one can see God. We see this through Moses, as he wasn&#8217;t allowed to see the Face of God and the Scripture does state that no man has ever seen Him, or ever will, not in this life&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.&#8221;</em> (1John 5:11-12)</p><p><em>&#8220;But He said, &#8220;You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.&#8221;</em> (Exodus 33:20)</p><p>But when we are rescued, or if we pass into the next life through our sleep in Jesus, then we will see Him face to Face, and bask in His Beauty throughout eternity&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.&#8221; </em>(Revelation 22;4)</p><p>But when we are in our new glorified bodies in Heaven, we no longer need to rely on faith, as man has done and must continue to do all the way to that last Day of the Church Age, if he indeed does value and crave that relationship as he ought to in this, our temporary life. For when we are in His physical presence, we no longer have the need for faith, as we stand in awe of His Reality and the reality of Heaven!</p><p>Jesus came to save souls and the wonders of His Truth and Beauty will never cease, but there are verses that depict salvation as a literal moment&#8212;that Grand Rescue we who are alive and remain at the time of His Coming will experience. As the Apostle Peter has illustrated in the verse above. And Jesus uses that same transformation framework of language in the passage below&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on earth the distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men&#8217;s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.&#8221; </em>(Luke 21:25-28)</p><p>When we are literally snatched away, we will be literally saved from the Wrath of God and from Satan and his own version of wrath, for he will be more embollened during the 7 long years of tribulation on the earth that will follow, than any other time he has had any degree of power, or ever will. But our bodies, God will change in an instant at the last trumpet&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;Behold, I tell you mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed&#8212;in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Blocking strong men,
they change reality under their sun,
certain of great cause and vision;
utterly unaware 
of the battle already won.

(Romans 8:37)

So many souls blinded by
pleasure in violence,
even unable to tell you why,
keeping neighbors 
from certain rescue;
hurling stones
from a fortress only so high.

(2Thessalonians 2:12)

They shoot in vain,
their bows with arrows,
but their battle,
can never win for them, 
the prize.
For treasure 
is found only in Jesus,
but they fall unable,
from chasing lies.

(Matthew 24:4-5)

And what is all this, but a curse,
they think so great to receive;
one that will ultimately unravel, 
til their game plan implodes,
from failure to believe.

(Revelation 20:14-15)

For they are blinded 
by sight at the intake;
spinning colors 
make the world go round,
and pretty houses 
perfectly perched upon hills, 
but with barely any substance 
to be found.

(Psalm 49:6-9)

For they are blocking the view 
of True beauty;
gathering in roads 
and alleyways in great dismay,
with streaming tears 
blurring decency, 
like a wall 
overshadowing the One
True Way.

(Acts 9:2)

For as our Savior watches them,
they turn their heads
from His troubled Eyes;
stricken with unseemliness,
their glorious future,
crumbles in great surprise.

(Revelation 3:17)

And as they try to walk without vision;
turning corners cursed with good health,
in a way that blinds at the onset;
they cling to personal power,
and the great pursuit of wealth.

(1Timothy 6:10)

So they carry on in their pretty houses,
perched way up on those hills;
near a city with lavish store windows,
that summon their freedoms,
and defy their Creator's Will.

(Romans 1:28)

We&#8217;ve all watched the shocking turning from the picture of strength, courage, and role of leadership and provider that all men were intended to portray and thrive in, toward a cowardly sense of suppressed relational intimidation that then transforms itself into old emotional baggage. And even worse, society is embracing that ideology so readily that many mothers are not hesitating to teach this convoluted idea to their sons, or we wouldn&#8217;t be seeing girls joining the Boy Scouts&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-hZrtDdZATeE" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;hZrtDdZATeE&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hZrtDdZATeE?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Feminism is at the heart of what has happened to male masculinity and led to the coining of phrases that should never have been coined, like &#8216;toxic masculinity.&#8217; </p><div id="youtube2-ymqdjtZdKzg" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;ymqdjtZdKzg&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ymqdjtZdKzg?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>The truth is that women need men to be masculine and men need women to be feminine. Not only is this the only way that men and women can relate or even be attracted to one another, anything that deviates from this, the natural order of things, will be fraught with dysfunction and turmoil that will undoubtedly ensue because masculinity and femininity are biblical concepts, and even the ungodly did not question the natural order of this arrangement until recent years. So, now here we are in the last of the last days, and we, who have been paying attention are not surprised, but still dismayed&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-Of1YXDpfuoc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;Of1YXDpfuoc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Of1YXDpfuoc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>We are seeing men shrink back and fear the women in their lives and even just women in general. And it would appear that it&#8217;s due to women rising up and taking the place of men; embracing male characteristics for themselves. And that leaves no room for men to be men in today&#8217;s society. But once in a while we may just find that there are a few that become so tired of forsaking their own souls and their Creator that they make a glorious return to their ruggedly handsome appearance and strong male character. This man thought he should go so far as to become as feminine a female as possible, but lived to change his mind. AND then, God went in and changed his heart. Now he is a believer to the fullest, and a man who draws people to himself through the strength of his new and much improved character and demeanor&#8230; Of all the transformation videos that have been posted about men who went from forsaking their testosterone for glitter makeup, and back again. This one is truly the most dramatic; going from so ridiculous to so gorgeous and masculine&#8230;&#8230;You won&#8217;t believe your eyes when you see how drastic the transformation! This man exudes the most stunning transforming of ALL, because he goes from freakishly feminine to the most pronounced example of masculinity. It&#8217;s hard to believe it&#8217;s really him.

(Back when I was too young and spiritually immature to biblically comprehend/apply birth control, I remember thinking that they sounded like a great organization and even went there once!) But this &#8216;plan&#8217; they want you to focus on as their main objective in all their doings is actually what they hide behind, so that hopefully you won&#8217;t notice that abortion is their true main objective, (as one abortion doctor admitted in the fourth video, if counted from here) which, in essence, is the <em>stifling </em>of family growth. The overall celebration of life is nonexistent in their arena, in all aspects of their operating methods, and protocols; having been held together like glue, with the lie that all fetal tissue is merely a &#8216;clump of cells.&#8217; This was the original false rhetoric they used to indoctrinate women; duping them into believing that abortion is a legitimate form of healthcare&#8212;</p><div id="youtube2-3aUlvCn-RZM" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;3aUlvCn-RZM&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3aUlvCn-RZM?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>And now we have their latest lie; trying to float the notion that a toddler doesn&#8217;t feel pain, that they aren&#8217;t conscious beings, when literally every lucid parent can detect without a single doubt or moment of confusion, that they most definitely DO and ARE! No one watches a child cry in pain and then denies that it&#8217;s happening, unless they are mentally ill&#8230; BUT, that&#8217;s what they would have parents think!&#8212;How dumb and crazy can these people be? And how dumb does any person, especially a parent have to be to fall for this?!</p><p>This newest lie takes the cake.

And this, coupled with the fact that God has given them over to a debased mind, tells those of of us with a firm grip on reality that said propensity to murder should not come as some big surprise. </p><p>Furthermore, our Bibles confirm that this day would come in the last days&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man&#8212;and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.&#8221; </em>(Romans 1:18-25)</p><p>The passage above is quite revealing as to what we are seeing happen to these individuals who have listened to the doctrine of Satan, rather than the doctrines of our Lord God, in order to embrace the ideals they find the most endearing, attractive, and sensible in their twisted &#8216;feelings&#8217; and opinions. </p><p>From verses 18-20, Paul is describing this phenomena; stating that there will be those (as we see today) who reject God because they simply do not want to admit that God is the Creator, no matter how much proof they can see right in front of their eyes because of what HE has created&#8230;</p><p>Then in verse 21, he takes it a bit further; describing that when someone rejects God long enough and fiercely enough, their hearts will be darkened and ripe for Satan to manipulate, exploit and work through for his purposes of destruction&#8230;&#8230;Moreover, this verse also reveals the cause for their murderous hearts and minds&#8212;their outright, and glaringly plain rejection of the Truth.</p><p>Then in verses 22 and 23, Paul illustrates that those who think this way actually reduce the notion of God to weaker beings; denying His Almighty Power! </p><p>Then in verse 24, he points out the dishonoring of their bodies, which indicates their vile same sex behaviors, and even appears to be pointing to their sex change surgeries, pronouns and everything attached to their new way of life in their altered bodies&#8230;..</p><p>Then in verse 25, Paul mentions the fact that these things come from the lie that is circulating throughout our whole world, which of course Satan has propagated and continues to propagate among all who reject God, as much as it is possible for him to deceive. And, furthermore, this verse appears to allude to the lie of climate change, as Paul says, &#8216;they served the creature, rather than the Creator;&#8217; meaning that these individuals are from that same camp, those who are following the thinking of Satan believing in sex changes being the right and valid choice among those &#8216;in the wrong bodies,&#8217; are also those who push the climate change agenda&#8230;&#8230;Coincidence? Uhhhh, NO!

The first is recorded in Matthew 25:31-46. Here is are key verses from that passage&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another,as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.&#8221;</em> (Verses 31 &amp; 32)</p><p>And, the Wheat and Tares parable is recorded in Matthew 13:24-30. Here are key verses from that passage&#8212;</p><p><em>&#8220;&#8230;&#8230;Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares? He said to them, &#8216;An enemy has done this,&#8217; The servant said to him, &#8216;Do you want us  then to go and gather them up? But he said, &#8216;No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat from them. Let both grow together until the harvest&#8230;&#8230;</em>(Verses 27b-30a)</p><p>NKJV</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
