"Let God be true, and every man a liar"
Prayer is indeed a mighty spiritual weapon of war. God does not call us to something He will not answer.In this most important hour of our history, we who are privileged to live and be a part of God’s church at war in our generation must be on high alert to what could be our greatest battle yet. Whether we know it or not, time is running out fast. Nations that were less than a few months ago as free as some states in our nation have, without a shot being fired, fallen to extreme hard-nosed tyrannical communistic style government, e.g. Australia and New Zealand, Canada, nd various European countries. These countries have enjoyed democratic liberty and freedom and yet have surrendered quickly to totalitarian police statism. If you are not vaccinated, your freedom is gone and you become their target.
This war cannot be won with natural weapons only. Most importantly, we must use the spiritual weapons God has given us to fight with. This war is not a natural war. It is a spiritual war. The weapons of our warfare and not carnal (fleshly, natural) but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Who would have thought that vaccinations would become the catalyst to usher in government control over our own bodies? It has certainly been proved over and over, even by those responsible for administering these vaccinations, masks etc. that they do not protect anyone from the so-called common viruses.
Therefore, we ask ourselves, why are governments making such a big thing of it? This morning (1 – 18 – 22) we were praying for England which has also been under heavy restrictions and mandates to vaccinate. We were asking God for these heavy restrictions to be removed as we need to travel again and resume speaking engagements in England and the rest of UK.
A few hours’ later, while driving in our car, we heard Bois Johnson, Prime Minister of England, lift all mandates and all Covid regulations, including mandatory vaccinations, vaccine passports, mask wearing etc. Praise be to the Lord of Heaven and earth who has given the Prime Minister of England the courage to make this bold stand. This is indeed a great encouragement to our faith, and we will continue pray that all the leaders of the nations of these so-called free democracies will do likewise.
Earnest prayer is indeed a great weapon to break the chains of these evil deceptions.
Be encouraged.

We cannot sit idly by while this nation is being pushed into tyranny. This is the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Exercise your right to freedom.

Make sure you read God's Word to your family before they leave the meal table. We must feed their bodies, but their spirits are even more important. Don't let them grow up big and tall physically and yet their inner man is shriveled and starving. (1 John 2:13, 14).

Please forgive me. It has been some time since I wrote my last post to you. I have had so many things in and around our home that needed urgent attention and I have been giving myself to them rather than sitting down and writing.I am naturally more of a “hands-on” man and enjoy doing practical things rather than applying myself to pen and paper. This requires discipline for me. I still preach regularly at our Hilltop Fellowship as well as speaking to families at Above Rubies conferences. With my wife’s encouragement I try hard to stay active and healthy. I am coming up 82 years young this coming spring.
Having given my apologies, I want to get back to writing. I have so much on my heart to share with you and I must discipline myself to get it to you. I want to finish our series on the different battle weapons God calls His people. Completing that,
I have another series on my heart ready to begin.
It is my earnest heart’s desire to keep fighting on, especially in this strategic hour when God is calling us to our battle stations. I believe the battle between light and darkness has never been more serious and intense than what we as God’s people are facing right now.
This is not the time to allow lukewarmness, indifference, and casualness to creep in and rob us of the victories God will give to those who do not faint in the day of battle.
Proverbs 24:10: “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.”
Galatians 6:9: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
1 Corinthians 15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in The work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
Because of the intense battle that is going on in our western countries, we are continuing, no matter what the cost, to hold three prayer meetings each week here on the Hilltop, plus in our morning and evening prayer times at our Family Devotions.
We have a Prayer Meeting at our home on Monday evenings, on Wednesday evenings at Sam and Serene’s home, and each Sunday morning for 30 minutes for all those who have a heart to pray for this nation and the world. As we continue to pray, I notice a greater intensity of heart and fire coming upon the prayer warriors.
At this time, our hearts are going out to the people in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and certain European countries. Some of these countries are facing massive lockdowns, restrictions, and police tyranny. Liberties are vehemently applied through physical force. Attendance at church is stifled in communist style, bullying tactics. The governments of these countries have surrendered to extreme socialist, anti-Christ, anti-democratic, anti-freedom, anti-liberty, and new world order demands.
The number is growing of good people wanting to escape by seeking asylum in the USA or other countries. Our hearts ache for all these people. Because of vaccination requirements many cannot leave even though they want to.
To those who say that these vaccinations are okay because they follow the science, “the proof is in the pudding,” as multitudes are dying, or their immune systems compromised similar to AIDS victims.
Blood clotting, respiratory problems, and a host of life-threatening abnormalities are happening every day. I was just reading last night of over 50,000 deaths caused by this vaccination in the USA alone, let alone worldwide.
Is this subject divisive? You bet it is. Should we stop speaking about it? No, never! We must take a strong stand against this murderous weapon of death and destruction.
Bill Gates proclaimed it boldly on YouTube in this declaration to the leaders of the most powerful nations that in order to reduce the overgrowth of the world population, vaccinations are the answer. Satan is definitely driving this whole thing.
The answer is to stand up for truth, speak up, and pray up.
We are our “brother’s keeper” (Genesis 4:9).
We are all called to be watchmen and sound a warning to our neighbors and friends. If we love one another, we will speak the truth in love, even if it pains us to do so.
Be encouraged.

Recently I talked to a young man who is attending college. He shared how his professors advocate delaying marriage and childbearing until they establish themselves and their career. This is how all young people are educated today. Girls are urged to make sure they get settled in a career so that they will have a means of support "in case their marriage fails."Talking to another young lady who attends college she said, "Don't you know that we can now freeze our eggs so we can enjoy our career and have babies later in life when we are ready?"
"Yes," I replied. "I have read about this." In fact, Facebook and Apple now offer female employees a health benefit in order to freeze their eggs so they can focus on their career. However, although this young lady thinks it is “the norm” I am appalled. A generation of young women are being deceived and denied the glory that God intends for them.
It is dangerous to send a young person to college if they are not cemented in godly convictions and a biblical worldview. If they don't know what they believe and are rooted in God's eternal truths, they will soon be indoctrinated with lies from Satan.
The ideology of humanism and feminism looks "wise" to those who do not know the truth. This is Satan's trick. He coats his lies with a semblance of wisdom. They sound a good idea to the natural mind. This is how he first tempted Eve in the garden? How could you tempt someone who walked and talked with God every day? Only by making things "seem" good and wise (Genesis 3:6).
1 Corinthians 1:20, 25 says: "Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? . . . Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." Isaiah 44:25 says that He "Turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolishness."
Let’s be very careful where we send our children to be taught. Surely we want them to walk in truth and wisdom.
