A dear friend sent us these Scriptures as a reminder. Dear Lord please encourage all who read Your Word and help us all to remember always to hold on to You. Help us not to worry, but to rest, knowing Your Word reassures us that we have no reason to fear or worry. For anyone reading this post, searching for the meaning of life and Sure Hope, please stir their hearts and draw them to You Lord Jesus. Help them to know that being a Christian is a relationship with Jesus and not following a religion. They Jesus loves everyone, inspire of what we may feel. Thank You Father for your love and forgiveness. Please bless all who read Your Word, helping them wherever they need help.<p></p><p>We love you Lord.</p><p>In Jesus'</p><p>Name I pray, Amen</p><p><b>[<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/jhn/16/33/s_1013033">Jhn 16:33 NLT</a>] 33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me.

What God's Word Says<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IS__O1uHyDg/TXkZUc_TTtI/AAAAAAAAADo/dfiGKx-q7JI_S2BbW2SS7EvIzkMiLH4-gCPcBGAYYCw/s750/BLUE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="750" height="311" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IS__O1uHyDg/TXkZUc_TTtI/AAAAAAAAADo/dfiGKx-q7JI_S2BbW2SS7EvIzkMiLH4-gCPcBGAYYCw/w583-h311/BLUE.jpg" width="583" /></a></div><br />Never really thought that I would live to see days like these. My Mom is in the hospital and thanks to the covid pandemic she can only have my Dad visit. As thankful as I am for that, my heart feels sad to not be able to see her. People I know haven't been able to get medical treatment all because of this covid thing. Children have to wear masks to go to school while parents anxiously wonder if and when we will all be under lockdown again. News story after news story, all around our planet shows people wearing masks en masse or protesting lock downs and forced mask wearing.<p></p><p>And that is just the covid pandemic. Then there are the crazy news stories we've watched from all four "corners" of the earth, massive fires, devastating weather phenomena, earthquakes in diverse places, unknown objects being caught on video, strange experiences, locust swarms, mass animal deaths, people hating like never seen before, moral Biblical morals blatantly ignored, families changing in ways never imagined in my life time and so on and so on.</p><p>Thank You Lord as hard as all of this is, my heart still has peace in this storm. A storm I think, may just be beginning. I've read about signs and warnings to watch for that help us to know our Sure Hope, Jesus Christ is returning. It's so wonderful to anticipate. I must say after all that has been happening during this past year, my heart feels tested. The temptation to be fearful and have anxiety about what will happen next and will I be able to handle it. Where do I find answers and reassurance? In God's Word. To help remind myself, I wanted to copy and paste some key passages (definitely not all inclusive- just a smattering of God's unchanging Word.) to help remind me and incase anyone else feels how I do.</p><p>If I ddn't have Jesus, I would be beyond anxious about all that the entire world is experiencing. God gets all the glory and praise for saving my life. Some of you may say, how can you really know He is real? All I can speak of is what He has done in my heart. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. He knows our hearts and knows how many hairs are on our heads. Before one day of our life began, He already knew us. He gives us choices to make and He was worth everything to me. Even during the darkest and most uncertain times, He gives me strength to persevere and have peace and rest. Do I fail? Yes, daily I fail and depend on my own strength - only to discover I don't have any ability on my own. He actually wants us to totally depend upon Him. Be encouraged, no matter what you see on the news.</p><p><a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/dan/7/13/s_857013" target="_blank">[Dan 7:13-14 NLT] 13</a><i> As my vision continued that night, I saw someone like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven.

They will even kill some of you. 17 And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish! 19 By standing firm, you will win your souls. 20 "And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived. 21 Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. Those in Jerusalem must get out, and those out in the country should not return to the city. 22 For those will be days of God's vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. 23 How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. For there will be disaster in the land and great anger against this people. 24 They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end. 25 "And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. 26 People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory. 28 So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!" 29 Then he gave them this illustration: "Notice the fig tree, or any other tree. 30 When the leaves come out, you know without being told that summer is near. 31 In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things have taken place. 33 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. 34 "Watch out! Don't let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don't let that day catch you unaware, 35 like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. 36 Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man." 37 Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives. 38 The crowds gathered at the Temple early each morning to hear him.</i></p>A Bergie Creationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03674686511195682577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977677016989051598.post-62639403271086640002020-10-06T18:17:00.001-07:002020-10-06T18:17:25.612-07:00A Song of Praise to the LORD<p><a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/isa/26/19/t_conc_705014" target="_blank">A Song of Praise to the LORD</a> 2 Open the gates to all who are righteous; allow the faithful to enter. 3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! 4 Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock. 5 He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city.

You are a God who does what is right, and you smooth out the path ahead of them. 8 LORD, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart's desire is to glorify your name. 9 All night long I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek for God. For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right. 10 Your kindness to the wicked does not make them do good. Although others do right, the wicked keep doing wrong and take no notice of the LORD's majesty. 11 O LORD, they pay no attention to your upraised fist. Show them your eagerness to defend your people. Then they will be ashamed. Let your fire consume your enemies. 12 LORD, you will grant us peace; all we have accomplished is really from you. 13 O LORD our God, others have ruled us, but you alone are the one we worship. 14 Those we served before are dead and gone. Their departed spirits will never return! You attacked them and destroyed them, and they are long forgotten. 15 O LORD, you have made our nation great; yes, you have made us great. You have extended our borders, and we give you the glory! 16 LORD, in distress we searched for you. We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline. 17 Just as a pregnant woman writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth, so were we in your presence, LORD. 18 We, too, writhe in agony, but nothing comes of our suffering. We have not given salvation to the earth, nor brought life into the world. 19 But those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For your life-giving light will fall like dew on your people in the place of the dead! 20 Go home, my people, and lock your doors! Hide yourselves for a little while until the LORD's anger has passed. 21 Look! The LORD is coming from heaven to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed. They will be brought out for all to see.<p></p>A Bergie Creationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03674686511195682577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977677016989051598.post-64304770044518881522020-05-19T22:16:00.001-07:002020-05-19T22:16:33.984-07:00Be Encouraged: Our Sure Hope - A Short Video<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

We decided to share how we handle tough times like what the entire world has been going. Self isolation, unable to see family and friends. For those with fragile health, fear of getting ill tries weighing us down. We will be intermittently sharing special Bible Verses to hopefully inspire and encore fellow believers and those who are desperate to know, why are we on this planet. We can have peace in our heart no matter what things may look like. This passage is primarily directed toward fellow believers. We are to encourage each other always. S here is a short video. Be Encouraged...<br />

One person God has encouraged and inspired me with for over four decades or so, has been Joni Eareckson Tada. And she just did it again as she speaks about dealing with times like now, self quarantining because of the Corona virus. Especially When your body is compromised persons who are at higher risk like Joni and other persons like us with disabilities like her's, a spinal cord injury and cancer survivor, or like mine, Spinal muscular Atrophy and my husband a senior at 68 living with Spina bifida occulta. It can be tempting to be afraid when we hear all the news about this contagious virus affecting the entire world. If we didn't know our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we'd be very afraid. We want to share some more of Joni's encouraging words about dealing with this pandemic. Nothing is in vain. Fear not.<br />
Be courageous!<br />

We are all living in a time like we have never seen before. We read in God's Word warning us what to watch for in what many of us call '""'The End Times." Not saying this pandemic and such are what we are waiting for but, it definitely causes us to consider what God tells us.<br />
So thankful that we can have no fear because of what Jesus Christ did for us. Without Him, we would be in a completely different state of mind. If you know Him, you know of the Hope we are talking about. But if not, we want you to know there is Sure Hope. We often put things off thinking we have loads of time. I am guilty of procrastinating most of my life. Not worth it. But thankfully God knows our heart. Read the book of John and all of God's Word for that matter if you want to know more about The Sure Hope we are talking about.<br />
<br />
All of this reminded me about a dream I had three years ago. So we just watched it and googled what happened three years to the day of that <a href="https://www.wincalendar.com/Calendar-Canada/date/January-26-2020" target="_blank">recording/dream.</a> Just was curious and discovered it was on January 26 of this year that the Covid virus was first confirmed in Canada. <br />

We are all facing warnings about avoiding a virus that can be spread by hand to hand, in the air, so far it kills 3% of it's victims. The more I learn about how it works against the human body in those like myself. I have a neuromuscular disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

coughing up funky phlegm to fight of respiratory illnesses, just don't function well as I get older. Leaving this world does not scare me, I look forward to spending Eternity with my dear Lord and Saviour. For me, I do fear at times, the process, or how He will end my physical life. So watching detailed videos about the pathology of this and other health issues, only stirs up the temptation to fear. It's good to know such things to a point, because then maybe those who are not being careful with public contact and hygiene practices, that they will be more meticulous and be responsible for preventing the spreading of germs and such.<br />
<br />
The number one awesome fact about a time like this is that it causes folks to think about the meaning of life. For those who don't already know that Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth And The Life.<br />

We once did and were so lost. If we were going through this uncertain time, without our Sue Hope, we would be terrified, anxious in everything, depressed and probably self medicating, destroying our life. But Thank You God, He saved Craig and I over thirty years ago. And because we can attest to All He Is, That everything written in in His Word about Him is True.<br />
That no matter how dark the world around us may get, we have peace and rest only because of all that Jesus did.<br />
We have assurance of salvation. No doubts because we can never earn our salvation, it is a gift from God. Made possible by His Son. God, fully human and fully God.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/1jo/5/1/s_1164001" target="_blank">[1Jo 5:11-13 NLT] </a>11<b><i> And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life. 13 I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal lif</i></b>e.<br />
<br />
In spite of our Sure Hope, we still face the temptations in these fleshly bodies, to have anxiety and fears.<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/mat/6/25/s_935025" target="_blank">[Mat 6:25-27 NLT] </a><i>25 "<b>That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life--whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?</b></i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/mat/6/25/s_935025" target="_blank">[Mat 6:33-34 NLT] 33</a> <i><b>Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/phl/4/1/s_1107001" target="_blank">[Phl 4:6-8 NLT] </a><i><b>6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.</b></i><br />
<br />
Which is why it is important to fill our heart and mind with God's life changing Truth,<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/rom/12/2/s_1058002" target="_blank">[Rom 12:2 NLT<i><b>] </b></i></a><i><b>2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.</b></i><br />
<br />
His Word to help us stay focused on His Truth. That we will not loose heart. That we will share the Hope we have in Christ Jesus with all those who are afraid and lost. God is allowing all of this for His purposes. He doesn't want one person to perish.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you are afraid, have questions about Christianity, the meaning of life or live with a physical disability, we'd love to hear from you. We also ha blog about our life called <a href="https://walkingwayoverrated.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Walking Way Overrated </a>as well as a Creativity blog <a href="http://heartfullycreating.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Heartfully Creating.</a> Praying that all will be safe and most of all turn to Jesus as their Lordand Saviour.<br />

I decided to share another channel that really helps share the Good News and the meaning of life.<br />

As most of us can say, we have never experienced a world wide event like we are now. It really does feel like it's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsxavPANO8s" target="_blank">the end of the world as we know it</a>. The question is, Do we feel fine? (check out that song if you aren't sure why I am referencing that song. It's catchy.)<br />
<br />
<i>As an artist, all the virus images did inspire an incomplete painting to the left. Abstracted microbes are unique and interesting, but not to be taken lightly.</i><br />
<br />
The 24/7 talk about Quarantines, Cancellation Of Everything, Pandemic, Social Distancing, staying six feet apart, disinfecting everything and hoarding toilet paper and such has definitely increased my heart rate a lot lately. It feels like I am a warrior with my sword and shield fighting against anxiety, not Covid-19, but anxiety!<br />
<br />
Thankfully my dear husband says he has zero anxiety. He says he doesn't think it's real, the virus that is, not the anxiety. It's my fault for watching too many conspiracy theory YouTube channels. But I think he means the intensity presented in Mainstream Media, when compared to world history. And I guess when I consider what his great grandma experienced in 1918, this, so far is a huge contrast to what happened then. She was an aboriginal woman, known for helping to heal victims hit by the deadly Spanish flu pandemic with Sturgeon oil, and roots.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you haven't heard about that pandemic, here's a decent eye opening documentary we watched about it.<br />
The final death toll for that horrific event ranges from 50 to 100 million worldwide. Thankfully, we know far more now about how not to spread diseases. And we don't believe we will see anything like Granny Cavanagh did.<br />
Which is why I set out to write this article. Wiping surfaces you never may have thought of before...<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Watch How To Keep Surfaces Clean By What To Clean. </span></b><br />
We spray 70% rubbing alcohol or higher if we don't have wipes and such.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Vulnerable Population</b></span><br />
We may not be living in 1918 thankfully, but it doesn't mean we are all guaranteed we won't get this illness. In fact my husband and myself, along with plenty of our friends who also have underlying health conditions are apparently those who run a higher mortality risk with Covid-19. Craig is almost 68 and has a physical disability as well. As for me, I'm middle Aged and was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 3, Severe scoliosis is also my achilles heal. Awe heck, decades ago the Doctors told me, it wouldn't be my muscle wasting disease that would do me in, but pneumonia. So it's not a surprise to keep hearing this kind of talk. But I do feel concerned fo my aging parents, mom survived non Hodgkins lymphoma over ten years ago, dad is a heart patient..and then there are all our loved ones with special needs in our lives and our virtual family on YouTube. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6fwHD4Tcgs" target="_blank">Shane Burcaw</a> who lives with SMA 3 and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJcBBWTSiAE" target="_blank">Mary Frey</a> who lives with Cystic Fibrosis and my hero Joni Eareckson Tada vulnerable 70 year old quadriplegic.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All of you guys are on our hearts as we all hunker down trying staying virus free. We encourage all of us to stay self quarantined and I wanted to share some practical videos about how to stay virus free. Every see a movie called Five Feet Apart. It's about Cystic Fibrosis patients and how they can't be less than 5 feet apart. They are highly susceptible to catching illnesses from fellow CF patients.<br />
<br />
So all this pandemic talk may have huge effects on our elderly folks (we do feel for those who are alone, with no visitors. But my husband who is a volunteer, says this has been an issue forever, not just now!)<br />
We pray for our dear elderly population, and us and our fellow vulnerable peers, but we take heart refusing to believe that we won't be able to avoid it. We trust God for His protection, we are living as self quarantined as possible, disinfecting everything we can,<br />

And besides, personally we have more immediate issues to figure out, as I am short one personal care attendant, so Have been preparing to try sleeping in my power tilt wheelchair. While my husband chooses to sleep next to me on the futon. We get to stay up as late as we want and can rise whenever we want. I will be sharing more on this adventure as it unfolds. Hopefully someone who is suitable will apply very soon. Always an adventure. And as were are about to read, God is in charge...<br />
<br />
<br />
As Christians, we do trust that God is in control and even though I am battling anxiety temptation, I am constantly reminded to cast all my cares on HIM for HE cares for us. And another favourite Bible passage is:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/mat/6/25/s_935025" target="_blank">[Mat 6:25-34 NLT] 25</a> "<i>That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life--whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear.

Today, I am planning on studying the book of John by listening to The <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nlt_d&b=43&c=1" target="_blank">audio version</a> [I like to do that while I work on my creativity/Art]. click<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nlt_d&b=43&c=1" target="_blank"> here to listen</a>. And then I am going to supplemented by Listening to a Great Resource from the blue letter Bible. It is an audio <a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/missler_chuck/Jhn/John_Vintage.cfm" target="_blank"> Chuck Missler.</a><br />

commentary by a favorite Bible teacher of ours, Who has since gone on home to Heaven,<br />
<br />
Just a reminder, Please do not ever substitute Bible reading by just reading commentaries or listening to commentaries about the Bible alone. Are you suited up in my early Christian walk about 30 years ago, Assuming whatever the commentaries that must be true. Since then I've learned it is only their interpretation, And or opinion About a passage of the Bible.<br />
<br />
However God does bless us with spiritual gifts and one of those gifts is teaching, Knowledge, and prophecy, Pastoring...So with that in mind it's okay to listen to what you consider godly Teaching. Always remember to listen or read prayerfully and make sure that everything lines up with scripture. God's word is always our plumbline. As well, The holy spirit living within Morning and believers [Actually you can't Be a believer without being born-again,<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/jhn/3/1/s_1000001" target="_blank">[Jhn 3:2-7 NLT</a>] <i>2 After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. "Rabbi," he said, "we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you." 3 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God." 4 "What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?" 5 Jesus replied, "I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. 7 So don't be surprised when I say, 'You must be born again</i>.']<br />

A dear friend and I were discussing about the importance of memorizing Scripture. In God's Word we are told the Holy Spirit will tell us what to say when facing persecution.<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/luk/12/11/s_985011" target="_blank">[Luk 12:11-12 NLT] 11</a> <i>"And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don't worry about how to defend yourself or what to say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what needs to be said."</i><br />

Yet, that is a separate teaching compared to the large number of verses teaching us about the importance of hiding God's Word in our hearts. The following are a collection of verses discussing God's Word and how valuable It is. The first verse showing how precious His Word is...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/jhn/1/1/s_998001" target="_blank">[Jhn 1:1-5 NLT] 1</a> In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.<br />

New Life in Christ may be a familiar term to you or not. If you want to hear the "Readers Digest" version of how I went from death to new life, watch this brief condensed version below! The point is, when you experience a life transforming event, and have been living differently ever since, you want others to know. Like having the best cheesecake, Baked Expectations by the way in Winnipeg Manitoba! You tell everyone you know so they too can have some, if they want!<br />
<br />
Yah, I know, cheesecake is a lame comparison to new life in Christ, but not if you adore a good cheesecake or just discovered how great it can be. It's normal to want to share great things when you experience them, so others can experience them too. Well New Life is far beyond any food, or fun ride. In fact He is Food for our soul and spirit, The Bread Of Life!<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">If you Want to Watch Now, Click the video below!</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
When you go from being terrified of death and what's next, hopeless, full of questions, confused, seeking our purpose on this earth, all under ten years of age and are a skeptic to boot - when you finally wake up (all glory goes to God for that!), and have experienced the Amazing Grace and Mercy from God for over thirty years now, you figure others out there, may want to know why you can smile and laugh even though outwardly, your body is wasting away. You may want to know why we are on this planet, you too may lay awake every night asking, "another day has passed, what's the point of life?" Or you may be getting tempted to listen to the enemy of our souls and be considering exiting this earth by your own hands. Wherever you may be at, if your reading this, then I'd like to believe that God wants you to know about the Sure Hope we have. Sure Hope meaning absolute Hope, not wishful thinking. And that you may be ready to embrace Him, or it may be the first seed to be planted in your heart that will grow up into changing your heart. That's what happened to me. Seeds were planted all along the way, but I was a slow learner or just was meant to go through various trials and "adventures," for God's higher purposes. Nothing is ever in vain.<br />
<br />
Anything that I do that is right and good, only happens because of He Who saved my life, He gets the glory. Apart from Jesus Christ, I can do no good thing.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over thirty years ago my husband and I (long before we were brought together by God) had the scales fell off of our eyes and our hard hearts were softened with faith in Jesus Christ. Soon we will be posting our own testimonies here, but for now, as always, we want to share the many amazing testimonies from others out here online. What is a testimony you ask? When something happens to you, in this case that is life altering, miraculous, soul saving, healing, freeing, and more, you want others to hear what you experienced, witnessed ... Like the testimony given in the court of law - of a witness to help convict or free someone charged with a crime. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are already a believer in Jesus Christ, then hearing testimonies of how other lost souls were saved, you will be encouraged, maybe even challenged. Many of us have believed in Jesus for decades, but realize our lives never changed. We live the same as we always did, for our self and not for Jesus. God may want to help you see that you may have the first step correct, believing or faith in Christ, but you were never truly born again. We receive this incredible New Life, when old things are passed away and all things spiritually speaking are made new! It's like being an infant that never grows up, but then if we are truly born again, the baby grows and matures into a toddler, child, pre-teen, teen, young adult, adult, middle aged adult, senior and eventually physical death into the next stage of eternity. Where we spend it, is a choice we get to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are like I once was, hopeless, lost, depressed, terrified of death and the after life, confused...just on the road to destruction. (More to come in a video testimony soon. Then you will not be the same after hearing the testimonies of those who were lost and seeing what is available to all who cry out to Jesus. You have nothing to lose, take a watch. You need to watch the entire testimony in order to get the whole benefit of this true witness account. May you be blessed and find Sure Hope and be freed like so many. </div>

This message is great for all of us. You may think, oh that's Joni, the lady who broke her neck in 1967 when she was 17. She's the lady who inspires people living with disabilities. That's great for them, but, I don't need to listen - it's not for me because I don't have a disability.<br />
Well, we would ask you if you do think like that, please think again. Joni's message is always a powerful one to all people. Whatever you may struggle with or however you may feel, god blesses this amazing woman with a heart that shares the love of Christ. She encourages me, and millions of others. And we want to share more messages from her as we receive them to help inspire and motivate, spur on anyone who's heart longs for meaning, Sure Hope and New Life. Including seeing that quality of life is not about whether or not your body works, you are healthy or rich, successful as the world sees successful, come and hear what real Sure Hope is all about, from a woman who knows what of what she speaks.<br />
<br />
The cool thing as often happens in my life, is how God has an amazing way of encouraging us just at the right moment, right when we need it. He knows what we need, when we need it. Today, He knew I needed to hear from my earthly hero who speaks about my Heavenly Hero, Jesus Christ. How our weaknesses really are our strengths because of Him. close to Him. He cares about all aspects of our lives.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are warned in the bible to watch for false teachers. Yes, I know there are many believers who feel it is no big deal to be concerned about deception and false teaching and prophecy under the banner of Christianity. There is no peace in our hearts about just letting deceptive ways slide by. If you aren't sure just research Bible verses about the warnings of false teachers and such. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On that note, we want to share <a href="http://www.piratechristian.com/fightingforthefaith/" target="_blank">Pirate Christian Radio</a>, a radio ministry that now posts videos as well, that we first discovered years ago. Pastor Chris Rosborough plays sermons and such of, ministries/ persons who are considered to be Christian yet are flawed in their Biblical teaching and leading others away from solid Doctrine. He does a great job explaining what is incorrect along with a sense of humour. No false teaching isn't funny, but Chris presents his messages in a way that shares a very serious subject in an interesting way. It's okay to smile when learning why someone needs to hear the truth about infected doctrine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This subject is not one that most Christians want to know about or acknowledge. Why? Well, based on my own weaknesses and what draws me in, I can say possibly because many of us were raised on television and movies. For my entire life, there is a false soothing effect when I turn on a television or these days, whatever I can find on the world wide web, YouTube. Like a drug addiction. When you research the history and purpose of entertainment that reaches the masses, it is clear that it was all created with a purpose. Below is a message (one of many parts) from Pastor Jason Cooley talking about Hollywood. We are impacted by it more than most of us realize. Come see...</div>

This is not an easy topic but it is crucial to not let these groups go unnoticed. We are sharing the channel of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCif57-rdKCDOavdd3X8Ac7w" target="_blank">Karly Franz.</a> She is a survivor of Satanic Ritual Abuse. The details are disturbing and hard to believe. But we have done a lot of research and know that her testimony sadly is true. There are many victims of this horrific crime against children. It is our obligation to share her story.<br />
<br />
The saddest part is that we usually don't even know these dark realities exist. It is because so many of these unfathomable crimes against children have been covered up by those in higher positions, and many have had their lives threatened if the speak, so most citizens don't even believe all of these testimonies are true. If you are up for it, research the truth behind the McMartin Preschool case, The Franklin Cover-up, Satanic Ritual Abuse and MK Ultra Mind Control, are all real. As well as the fact that the illuminati, Deep State, Freemasons, and other such Luciferian organizations truly exist. We can pray for the innocent victims, share the information with others to help wake people up in hope that we can rescue and save the children. Satan hates The Light, Jesus Christ. As believers we have Divine protection and are able to pray and/or join folks like Russ Dizdar's group to help free and heal the victims of SRA.<br />
<br />
Below<b> is a video of Russ Dizdar who has spent most of his life helping rescue and exposing Satanic Ritual Abuse. </b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">If you are a victim like Karly, please contact Russ, they will help you.</span></b><br />

Recently, we have been watching Hebrew Scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser at a great, very eye opening, thought provoking seminar. We also have one of his books called "Unseen Realm" which is the topic of the seminar below. It took him 15 years to write this book, spurred on by reading Psalm 82. As a believer myself for 30 years, I realize how much I read past verses, not digging deeper into what they really mean. With the resources available these days, and thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls (the Biblical texts), they have been able to grasp the Bible's Words even better. Translating Greek/Hebrew into English definitely can weaken the meaning if no translated accurately. Michael has an incredible insight an heart's desire to explain the meaning of the supernatural realm and Biblical text on the deepest level I have ever heard. His words for some can be controversial,because we have been taught basic Bible doctrines based on human tradition and thought. The best thing to do is watch/read what he has to say and you will gain insight that many of us have never had or considered before.<br />
<br />
I have been one of those Christians who believed it was wrong to read extra biblical texts like Enoch, Book of the Giants, and Jasher. Yet these books are referred to in the Bible. No, they are not official canonized Scripture. But they were written and they are used because they have useful information. Again if you want to know more, I suggest listening to the seminar below and/or read his book.<br />
It will change the way you read God's Word.<br />
<br />
<b>Here are some verses Michael mentions to help sho God's divine council.</b><br />
<br />
He doesn't need a council, He actually doesn't need anything or anyone to help. He can make decisions Himself, Why does He have a Divine council and the supernatural beings? The supernatural beings are sons of god (small "g". His supernatural family existed before creation on earth. He likes family, His<br />

God has taken his place in the<b> divine council</b>; in the midst of <b>the gods he holds judgment:</b> 2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." 5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I said, <b>"You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;</b> 7 nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince." 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!</i><br />

And he said, 'I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.' 23 Now therefore behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; the LORD has declared disaster for you." 24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"</i><br />

<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/gal/4/1/t_conc_1095024" target="_blank">[Gal 4:19-31 NLT] 1</a>9 Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I'm going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives. 20 I wish I were with you right now so I could change my tone. But at this distance I don't know how else to help you. 21 Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? 22 The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. 23 The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God's promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God's own fulfillment of his promise. 24 These two women serve as an illustration of God's two covenants. The first woman, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai where people received the law that enslaved them. 25 And now Jerusalem is just like Mount Sinai in Arabia, because she and her children live in slavery to the law. 26 But the other woman, Sarah, represents the heavenly Jerusalem. She is the free woman, and she is our mother. 27 As Isaiah said, "Rejoice, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into a joyful shout, you who have never been in labor! For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband!" 28 And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac. 29 But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit. 30 But what do the Scriptures say about that? "Get rid of the slave and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman's son." 31 So, dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman; we are children of the free woman.</div>
