Baghdad, Iraq, 2005. Victory Base Chapel. Early morning.
I watch Soldiers who are just now entering chapel for services. They look weary, most have been up all night either on a mission or pulling guard duty. They bring their weapons with them and drop them on the floor, and then they lift their hands in worship. After service is over, they pick up their firearms and continue their mission. There is no respite in combat.
I want you to get this picture: Soldiers never leave their weapons unattended, even in chapel services at Victory Base, Baghdad, Iraq. They have those weapons beside them just in case of an enemy attack. They are ready for combat at all times.
If we did that here in America, it would be a strange sight indeed, but not in a war zone, not in combat. The interesting thing to note is we are at war in America!
What war, you ask?
There are dark spiritual forces at war with believers here in America and around the world. Make no mistake about it; we are in combat every day with the unseen enemy. Ephesians 6:12 tells us: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
What do we need to do to combat the forces of darkness? Be ready and prepared! The Lord, in these last days, is preparing His Army for spiritual hand to hand combat.
Look at Matthew 25:1-5, the parable of the ten virgins: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
The ten virgins’ job was to provide light, and some of them, according to John Piper, had “lamps without oil, candles without wicks, torches without fire, light bulbs without electricity. They had the outward form of religion and no internal power. They liked their position; otherwise, they would have left. But they did not have a passion for using the necessary means to fulfill the point of their position.”[1]
Five were ready, and five were not. Those five were distracted, too busy with politics or shopping or sports or whatever. They probably relished the excellent church services, loved the sermons, enjoyed fellowship feasts, and were very busy with the details of the day, yet the Bible tells us they were asleep! They were not ready for the coming of their Lord.
I want to share with you the secret of the US Army’s success. The number one priority is READINESS! There is no other number one priority. If the Army was not adequately trained, equipped, manned, and supplied, what do you think will happen in the next conflict? We lose. Period.
The five virgins who were ready had oil, and they had their lamps, they prepared for the return of the groom. Are You ready?
Here are some ways to start getting ready:
1. Take a good hard look at your life right now: are you focused and doing all that Christ has asked of you? How do you spend your time?
2. Start by repenting! Just start. When the Army throws you into boot camp, on day one you are now a Soldier, not a civilian. No looking back.
3. Determine to follow Christ every moment of every day by putting to death the flesh, that part of me that doesn’t relate to Christ. In the Army, you follow the orders of those who are over you. Throw out all idols in your life, those things that are higher priority than God.
4. Fill your lamp with oil, which is the power of the Holy Spirit. We need power packed disciples. Listening to Him every moment of every day.
5. Read and live the Word every day.
How shall we live in 2021 and beyond? Keep your weapons by you at all times.

We are pulling out of our driveway to go to our son’s first Championship Baseball game. He is the starting pitcher today, and then it happens. My phone rings and it is the church secretary. Pastor, the bathroom toilet has overflowed and the sanctuary is flooding. Now I get a text from the head deacon, I am on the way to the hospital. My wife is going into labor and she is hemorrhaging.
The phone rings again……My wife looks at me and says. “Can’t you just ignore that phone long enough to watch your son’s game! We have a life too!”
Does any of this sound familiar? As a pastor the multiple directions of life that pull on us are impossible to imagine, unless you are a pastor.
The “Call” of a shepherd is a great responsibility and the gift of a wife and children is a wonderful blessing. They each demand our time and attention. The only way to have the wisdom, strength and sensitivity do all well is by the “Hand of God” on our life.
As Pastors it is critical that we surround ourselves with men(pastors) who completely understand this and are willing to go to the throne of God with us and for us. Having men of God who we can trust standing with us is invaluable and standing up for our fellow brothers is just as important! As a pastor, it is very easy to find ourselves standing all alone when church and family collide. This is why we have developed the Champions Table also called the “Pastor’s Prayer Fortress”. It truly is a fortress of prayer.
The Champions Table becomes your prayer fortress, four men standing together when everyone else scatters. These four men develop a sacred bond that is unbreakable! This “prayer fortress” is the foundation of the Champions Table.
Some may still say, I am a Pastor, why do I need a “prayer fortress”? I am constantly being asked to pray about every kind of issue imaginable. Every single day someone has a new crisis that needs immediate attention and prayer. Prayer is a way of life for me. I get up out of bed praying for people and I go to bed praying for people. I pray for our country and for Israel, I pray for my wife and children, I pray for revival and a mighty move of God, for the hurting, I pray for the widows and orphans, the homeless and hungry too.
Again, some will respond, “Pastor’s Fortress”, I feel like I live in a fortress? Well, that is the point. The walls of “aloneness” can grow thicker and thicker when a man stands alone. That is why Jesus himself gave us the model to follow! Men like us linking arms with us and “praying with us and for us”, mighty men of God who love us and we are safe with! Now this is what every Pastor needs!
The Champions Table “Frees” us and breathes life and vitality into us. We never feel alone again. Start your Champions Table today and feel the relief that comes from your “Pastors Fortress of Prayer”.
Paul is the Founder and CEO of All Pro Pastors International, a ministry that encourages and challenges Pastors to join together as Kingdom Brothers to develop trust, accountability and unity. It is a ministry that strengthens Pastors marriages, families, and ministries by establishing “Champions Tables”. The “Champions Table” is a safe place where Pastors can meet together and develop genuine relationships. The Champions Table is a pastors “Prayer Fortress!”
Pastor Paul Pickern is married to his wife Linda. They have 5 children (Tony, Stephanie, Dale, Seth, Schyler) and 12 grand children. Their home is in Plant City, Florida between Tampa and Orlando. Paul was born in Belleville, Illinois and Linda was born in Charleston, West Virginia.
When Paul Pickern so graciously asked me to write some articles for All Pro Pastors International, I was deeply humbled and honored. Having just written a research book on pastor’s prayer meetings, I have thoroughly studied today’s global ministries to pastors. There is absolutely no group as crucial as pastors and no ministry more powerful than All Pro Pastors International. They even have a ministry to pray for pastors which I strongly encourage pastors to use.
Because pastors are facing unprecedented pressures, I sense this introductory article should be a testimony of encouragement and practical help. It is the story of how God’s grace transformed my life and ministry at a time of devastating difficulty and impossibility. My earnest hope is that our experience of God’s grace and deliverance will be an encouragement to pastors today. Absolutely nothing is more important than encouraging and strengthening the Lord’s shepherds. Pastors are the enemy’s primary target and God’s primary means for spreading Christ’s kingdom. They and their churches are the spiritual soul and fate of our nation and world. Loving and uplifting pastors is a burning passion of my heart.
Having been blessed to work with persecuted underground pastors, I have witnessed how God gives incredible joy and power in even the darkest places. In today’s intense conditions, it is crucial for pastors to have a joy, passion and power that is truly of the Holy Spirit, not circumstances. We are now far past what academics, personality and programs alone can overcome. But while the early Church and Christian reformers faced even worse challenges than most today, they totally transformed their world for Christ. We too can trust in the risen Lord Who is “the same yesterday, today and forever!” (Hebrews 13:8) I pray this testimony brings glory to God and fresh hope to pastors and their churches.
A Story of God’s Grace in the Fire
“Be Careful What You Pray For”
We often hear the half-joking phrase, “be careful about praying for patience because you know how you get it.” While of course we definitely should pray for this important grace, it is among the more challenging of the spiritual fruits. Shortly after graduation from seminary in 1983, I unwittingly discovered another somewhat risky prayer. It was when I prayed “Lord give me some good experience for growth in ministry.” Well, the Lord definitely answered that prayer, though a lot different than I expected.
Just as I was considering a call to pastor a church with strong growth potential, I got a call from another church. It was to be the Associate Pastor/Minister of Evangelism in a church in a very high crime, declining area. Then shortly after they contacted me, the TV news erupted with a catastrophic scandal involving sex abuse allegations about their church run daycare. In that day, such a thing was virtually unheard of. There was devastating publicity on every TV station and newspaper for a six state radius. I thought “phew,” I am so glad I didn’t go there!
But surprisingly, the embattled church still wanted to proceed in trying to fill their staff position. They asked me if I would at least please pray about coming to be their Associate Pastor of Evangelism. Of course in my most spiritual voice, I told them, “Oh yes, I’ll pray about it.” Frankly, I thought to myself, that’s an easy one — I’m not going into a situation like that. No way! I just knew the Lord would surely have me to go to the much easier church where I could quickly reach more people. But when I actually prayed about it, the Lord definitely led me to go to the church in the intense battle. I wish I could say I was perfectly brave and noble, but I had some very deep concerns. I even told the Lord of many perfectly logical reasons why I shouldn’t go. But somehow, He just wasn’t buying my human reasoning. So, I told the church that I would come.
Ominously, even before I arrived on the church field more allegations erupted and soon brought additional arrests. Legal bills were exploding to shocking levels on top of a major church building debt. The surrounding community was hit with a shocking new crime wave and an even greater stream of people began moving away. But unbelievably, circumstances were about to get even much more intense. After just a few months as associate pastor, the responsibility to become their pastor suddenly fell to me. Though conditions seemed hopeless, the Lord was about to teach me that nothing is too hard for Him. But, it would require me to learn some lessons I really thought I already knew. It would also take five years of almost indescribable pain and battle.
Coming to the End of Our Own Strength
As the church entered into a continuous five year nightmare, the circumstances were far worse than I could ever describe in any article. In the first three years, the battles were so intense my life was actually threatened for trying to help “that” church. A seminary professor told me in forty years of teaching, he had never heard of anything so extreme. He said, it was essentially the “Chernobyl” of the church world. (Not exactly a title you desire.) Yet, the core people of the church truly loved their Lord, their church and their inexperienced young pastor. I owe those dear people an eternal debt of gratitude.
So for five years, we aggressively used the best evangelism, discipleship and growth programs in existence. I sought to faithfully preach the whole counsel of Scripture and we even had weekly church prayer meetings. Toward the end of the fifth year, church decline was bad enough that things were getting really desperate. As a last ditch effort we conducted a massive community-wide visitation campaign to over five thousand households. But with a rapidly declining community and constant negative news coverage, the church continued downward. Even after all of the intense efforts, we were seeing few people saved, rising disunity, very few visitors and continuing decline. Five years earlier we were four to five hundred in attendance, but had dropped to well less than two hundred and fifty.
The church was increasingly discouraged and so was their pastor. Though I could still preach and put on a fairly good face, I was seriously burned out, wounded and dry. I also began to deal with some painful ongoing health issues. Yet, I personally knew some persecuted believers who had incredible joy and evangelistic power in some of the darkest regions of earth. I also realized the early Church and Christian reformers had great joy and power even in the face of horrific torture and martyrdom. So I knew greater strength, joy and closeness with Jesus were definitely possible. Then what was wrong with me? I felt great condemnation and failure over my strong feelings of doubt, frustration and weakness. At that point, I seriously considered leaving the ministry. I actually took the air traffic controller test and passed with a high score. It was God’s grace alone that kept me from leaving. Once I committed to stay, the Lord gave me peace He would do something that would one day encourage other pastors in days of intense battles. With pandemics and growing persecutions, such days are now a reality for millions.
Three Life-Changing Revelations
As I sought the Lord for greater closeness, joy and power, He led me to do a very deep study of John 15:4-16, 1 Corinthians 2:1-4, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Acts 1:4-8, 4:29-34, 5:41 and James 5:16-18. In these texts, it became clear that abundant spiritual fruit and Spirit-empowerment flow only from deep closeness with Jesus, fervent prayer and full yieldedness of heart. As I further researched the leaders of great awakenings and persecuted believers, the Lord opened my eyes to three specific points of inadequacy in my walk with Christ. Though by today’s rushed patterns my prayer life might have seemed above average, it was definitely not sufficient by God’s standards in Scripture and historic awakenings. The Lord graciously helped me see three missing elements that ultimately made a vast difference in my life and church. I pray these insights will help fellow pastors as much as they transformed me.
First, I realized I was focusing so much on God’s love, I was neglecting the reverential fear of His holiness. As a result, I had settled for using some popular heart cleansing/surrender guides that were simply not complete enough to bring specific yielding in all key areas of sin and self. (Psalm 139:23-24; 2 Corinthians 7:1) The Lord helped me see that there were actually around seven areas I needed to yield fully and consistently. (Most cleansing/growth guides deal with only four or five general areas.) I also saw that full surrender to Jesus had to involve a continual yielding of “self, weights of hindrance and heart idols,” not just sin. (Matthew 16:24; Hebrews 12:1-2) I was discovering that Jesus wanted to be Lord of even our motives and secret thoughts. And while of course we are all very much a work in progress, we do have to at least be in serious, intentional progress.
I began to realize being “under grace” in no way meant I could marginalize ever-deeper growth and surrender. If the Apostle Paul needed to continually “press toward the mark” and “perfect holiness in the fear of God,” I surely needed it all the more! But I really didn’t have a clear enough handle on how to walk in that. The Lord was revealing that I needed to more fully revere His awesome holiness. After much prayer and study, the Lord led me to develop a seven category pattern of Scripture to pray through. There were twelve to fourteen Scriptures and issues for each major category. Bear in mind, this was to be a process prayed through over several days, not at one prayer time. It was to be a grace relationship of love and surrender, not a legalistic guilt trip.
Second, the Lord helped me recognize that my personal time in His word and prayer was stopping short of the relational abiding in Christ described in Scripture. (John 15:4-16) I realized many quiet time models either left out or marginalized two or three essential biblical elements of full surrender and empowerment in Christ. Many prayer patterns stopped at general confession (with little emphasis on specific repentance.) Most models further omitted any intentional time to meditate on God’s word and truly listen to His voice.
I also noticed many devotional patterns tended to focus more on personal desires and needs than God’s kingdom and righteousness. They were kind of a reverse of Matthew 6:33. More importantly, I sensed God wanted me to view time in His word and prayer more as truly experiencing a relationship than just doing my prayer and Bible reading. Though the changes did require some additional time, it wasn’t exorbitant, undoable or legalistic. Over the next several weeks I began to experience a major difference in closeness with Jesus.
Third, the Lord helped me more fully understand that all true growth and power flow solely from His grace and Holy Spirit-empowerment, not legalism or religious works. (Galatians 3:1-3, 5:16; Ephesians 2:8-9, 5:18) I knew as I embraced the deeper cleansing and yielding, I had to stay focused on my full acceptance by God’s grace in Christ. It was so freeing to realize God doesn’t convict His children to condemn, but to transform us by His grace and Spirit. So rather than dreading deeper cleansing and yielding, I knew I was to desire it out of love for Christ. (1 John 3:3, 5:3) So with these three biblical principles firmly in my mind, I began a twelve week focused journey of deeper surrender and more complete time in God’s word and prayer. It was the beginning of a relationship journey that would utterly transform my life, ministry and church!
A Wounded, Weary Pastor Renewed and Empowered
During the first few weeks, I slowly prayed through all seven key areas of cleansing and surrender. Those specific areas were: thoughts/heart focus, attitudes, words/social media, all relationships, sins of transgression, sins omission, yielding of self /weights and heart idols. Soon, a much greater revelation of God’s holiness gripped my heart. As the Lord brought deeper brokenness and godly sorrow, a reverential fear of the Lord became much more real. Over just those first weeks, the Lord revealed no less than eleven specific areas for confession, repentance and deeper surrender.
Several issues were things I had no idea were hindering God’s Spirit (i.e. confession without repentance, selfish motives, secret thoughts, people I had not fully forgiven, prideful ambition, desiring the praise of men, self-preservation, etc.) I found when I truly allowed the Lord to deeply search all areas, I saw things I would never have seen with the more brief, general patterns. But praise God, it was about grace, growth and empowerment, not condemnation and guilt! Above all, it was about embracing the life-long journey to ever-more fully know, love and revere the Lord. (John 17:3; Matthew 22:37; Ecclesiastes 12:13)
By the end of about nine weeks, I was becoming a very different person. Though many situations at the church were actually worse and my physical condition more painful, God gave me a joy and peace unlike anything I had ever known. He was teaching me that my peace, joy and love had to be in Jesus alone, not my personal, family or ministry circumstances. Though I have certainly had to re-learn and grow in that truth many times since, it was a huge turning point. My preaching was empowered like never before and God’s word came much more alive to me. Before long, the Lord was revealing some powerful new insights to help my beleaguered church.
Two Essential Principles of Spiritual Power
While I still had (and have) plenty of battles, pain and need for growth, God was opening my eyes to two key principles. First — it is impossible to experience full New Testament-type joy, power and intimacy with Christ without New Testament-type prayer and surrender to Christ’s Lordship. Second — we will never be any more full of the Holy Spirit, than we are willing to be daily emptied of both sin and self. While we experience it all by trusting in God’s grace and Spirit, we must nonetheless choose the continuous growth and yielding. There really isn’t a short cut and none of us ever outgrow the need to be perfecting holiness in both the love and reverence of God. (John 15:9-13; Philippians 2:12-13, 3:10-14) The Lord wants none of us to be in a spiritual coast mode.
As busy pastors, it can be easy to overlook this need and casually assume “oh yes, I’m already doing the cleansing and yielding.” Yet, we may unwittingly be doing a watered-down version rather than one of full biblical completeness and depth. That had definitely happened to me but I didn’t realize it. The truth is, the Lord wants to be taking all of us ever-deeper. No matter how long we’ve served God, there is always more to know of Jesus. (Philippians 3:10-14) In the many verses describing believers’ call to ever-deeper holiness and prayer, there is absolutely no hint that we can be casual or unintentional. (2 Corinthians 7:1; Philippians 2:12-13; Hebrews 12:14) But thank God, His grace and love are with us every step! Growing in Holiness is not a walk of condemnation, legalism or works that we have to endure. Rather, it is a relationship of grace we get to experience for God’s glory! (John 15:9; 1 John 5:3)
A Broken Church Revived and Empowered
As the Lord was transforming my own life, He then revealed the following two truths about my role as pastor. (1) It is impossible for believers to know, love and revere God fully if pastors do not clearly teach both His love and holiness. (2) It is impossible for churches to function in New Testament-type joy and power if pastors do not clearly teach and consistently call them to New Testament-type prayer and surrender. I realized that if I said (or implied) that a brief little devotion is all believers need, then that is all they will likely do. (And most won’t even do that.) In that moment, I knew what God wanted me to teach and preach for the next six months. So using the key Scriptures that had so transformed my life, I taught the more complete biblical patterns of abiding in Christ by His word, prayer and surrender.
First, I started by teaching my members to embrace more complete biblical times in daily prayer and Scripture. Though I was not asking that my peoples’ quiet times be unduly long, they would experience a pattern for deeper surrender, closer listening to God’s voice and prayer that was more Spirit-empowered. The goal was for their time in Scripture and prayer to be more a dialogue of talking and listening to God through His word. So for a few weeks, a core minority of my church transformed their patterns of personal prayer and Scripture. They would also seek to meditate, listen and apply God’s word, not just read it.
Second, I taught my people the seven element pattern for ongoing deep yielding of sin and self. While it was not some magic formula, it did provide a clearer biblical mark toward which we are all to be pressing continually. Indeed, how can people fully yield and daily “press toward the mark” if they really don’t have one that is clear and practical?
We also discovered that the seven elements of cleansings and growth were very practical for ongoing daily use (after the initial deeper focused cleansing.) By being seven categories, a believer could easily focus on one different life area each day. In that pattern, believers freshly surrender and grow in all key areas of life each week. Though it’s certainly not a magic formula, I have never found a better way to help believers continually “press toward the mark” and “perfect holiness in the fear of God.” And for sure, none of us will ever outgrow the seven biblical areas of cleansing and growth.
All God Needs is a Dedicated Remnant
(Judges 7:1-7)
As any pastor surely knows, it is usually just a small minority that will embrace deepest commitment to holiness and prayer. For my first few years of pastoring, I was much troubled that a majority of people seemed somewhat lukewarm about deeper prayer, repentance and soul winning. It was freeing when God revealed to me that He begins His deep working through a dedicated remnant, not the lukewarm majority. Leaders if we are not careful, it is easy to spend so much time catering to the majority, we fail to take the remnant to true New Testament depth and power.
While in my church it was only a remnant that responded to the call to deeper quiet times and surrender, I focused on deepening that remnant. And what God did through that small minority was phenomenal! Within about three months, some of my people were definitely praying both alone (and together) on a new level. The Lord was changing both our personal and corporate prayer patterns. And while answers to prayer often come quite slowly and gradually, in our particularly desperate need the Lord moved with merciful swiftness and power.
Though we had tried all the best growth programs and visited over 5,000 households in six weeks, the church was steadily declining. Yet as people began to pray on a deeper level, the Lord led several to pray specifically that He would “send laborers” into our church body. Some of us sensed God had given a promise from Matthew 9:37-38. Miraculously after a few weeks, several people just suddenly started visiting our church. And this was right in the middle of horrific publicity and a rapidly declining area.
The first Sunday when about seven walked the aisle to join our church, it was like a Red Sea miracle. In fact when the first ones came down the aisle to join, I almost felt like saying, “What do you want?” (I was so out of practice!) And as many more people joined in coming weeks, several literally said, “We want to go to work for God.” Just as He promised, the Lord was sending laborers and tithers into our struggling church! In truth, I think some of my people had more faith than their pastor. While answers to prayer definitely don’t always come fast, the effectual, fervent prayers of yielded hearts still avail much!
A New Passion and Power For Soul Winning
One crucial change was the difference that came to some marriages and family relationships. We also saw some remarkable healing in broken and strained relationships between church members. But an especially powerful change was a new passion to intercede and witness to lost people. Those who had gone deeper in prayer were definitely praying with greater effectiveness, fervency, faith and power. One particularly quiet shy woman began to fast and pray for thirty lost people. And though she had never before led anyone to Christ, she actually went to witness to most of the people on her list. Within six months, I baptized twenty-one of her thirty! For those months, the Lord probably used that unassuming little praying lady more than anyone. But the answers were just beginning.
Though our church had been praying for about sixty lost people for five years, only a very few had been saved. And as people began to pray with much greater power and faith, we saw forty-five of the sixty saved and baptized within nine months! One of our men began fasting and praying for a co-worker who was notoriously rough and violent. That rough co-worker was among those who were gloriously saved and became one of our most faithful witnesses for Jesus.
A Sunday School teacher had long been praying for a son who was drifting. For years there was no change except for the worse. But as her closeness and surrender went to another level, she said “my prayers are just different now. I truly believe God has shown me my son will be saved and become a minister.” A few weeks later, that young man gave his life to Christ. And you guessed it, for many years now he has been an ordained minister in Middle Tennessee.
Deeper Unity and Healed Relationships
As God’s moving increased, many church members at last saw wayward children restored, spouses saved and relationships healed. And though our people still didn’t all enjoy the same worship style or agree on all issues, God gave us a stronger love and unity anyway. And finally the legal and financial answers began to happen.
After five years of an intense legal battle, the Lord brought full court vindication and victory for the church and people acquitted. But then we needed another miracle. We faced over-whelming debt from over five years of legal fees. Once again through intense united prayer, God graciously moved and saved the church. The Lord led eight kind-hearted attorneys to forgive the church close to a million dollar debt. And one of those attorneys came to Jesus!
Dear pastors, while answers definitely don’t always come quick, God can yet move in even the darkest places and times. But, it still requires the effectual, fervent prayers of yielded hearts. (James 5:16) Regardless of new theories, programs, academics or strategies, these can never replace true heart-yieldedness and powerful united prayer. Yet if we are not careful, we can easily wind up placing greater focus and time on everything in the world except the one thing that brings full New Testament power. (Mark 11:17; Acts 1:8; James 5:16-18) And while it is certainly not the intent, a subtle form of spiritual inoculation creeps into our lives and churches. In “inoculation” we embrace a weakened version of something that keeps us from getting the real thing. There is little question this is a major unrecognized hindrance for countless busy leaders and churches.
Overcoming Today’s Spiritual Desensitization and Inoculation
Sadly, many well-meaning believers have unwittingly embraced prayer and surrender patterns that stop short of true biblical abiding in Christ’s fullness and power. Given society’s saturation with impurity and materialism, believers can also become “desensitized” to some common daily patterns that are seriously hindering God’s Spirit. And when the Spirit is hindered, believers are much more vulnerable to marriage and parenting failures. Because we live in a day when so few have seen true biblical revival and awakening, it is easy to become so accustomed to sub-normal patterns, we can begin to think that is all there is. We then fall into the unconscious trap of “measuring ourselves by ourselves” rather than God’s word and Spirit. (2 Corinthians 10:12) There is an important truth in a statement by late revivalist Manley Beasley. “We will generally have about as much of God as we’re willing to settle for.” (Jeremiah 29:13; Hebrews 11:6)
Though today is a sound-bite, cliffs-notes type society, fullest New Testament power and closeness just don’t come from sound-bite prayers and surface confession. Because of well-meaning efforts to give people something brief and simple, believers can quite easily get stuck in below average (or shallow) patterns. Thus with many, their spiritual life is a lot like trying to drive a car at Interstate speeds in first gear. No matter how hard someone might try, no one can travel seventy miles per hour in first gear.
Given the prevalence of overly-quick, surface devotions, it is a virtual certainly that many are experiencing an unintended form of “spiritual inoculation.” While believers will surely experience some joy and strength, it is often not the rivers of living water and powerful prayer Jesus intends for His people. (John 7:38; Mark 11:22-24; James 5:16) When people embrace weakened versions of prayer and surrender, they are hindered from experiencing the full reality of Christ’s fullness and power.
It is crucial for believers to realize there really is a major difference between a little devotional moment and God-seeking, heart yielding prayer times. And though believers may be filled with all kinds of intellectual Bible knowledge, doctrines and new methods, one thing is certain. None of us will ever rise spiritually above the height of our personal prayer life and depth of our heart surrender and closeness to Christ. (John 15:4-13; James 5:16) Yet by God’s great grace, deeper surrender and fullness are definitely not out of reach for even the busiest believers and pastors!
A Word of Grace and Hope for Pastors
In writing this testimony of my first church, I pray one thing is clear. All of the transformation was solely by the incredible grace, mercy and power of God. It certainly wasn’t some eloquent, impressive pastor because they didn’t have one. Though we aggressively tried all the programs and strategies of the day, they were not what turned the tide. And while we certainly “said” a lot of prayers, during the first five years, most were not quite the “effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous that avail much.” But in His marvelous grace, the Lord helped us see that James 5:16 has an opposite truth it is all-too easy to ignore.
Just as the “effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous avails much,” the ineffective, casual prayers of the unyielded avail little. This is almost surely a major reason so many have been “praying for revival” and so few churches have actually seen it. The Bible is clear that just “saying” voluminous prayers does not mean they are necessarily powerful. (Isaiah 58:1-6, 59:1-2) In His grace, the Lord was showing our church that prayers and surrender needed to go higher. Yet with some fairly simple and practical biblical adjustments, the Lord helped a broken, discouraged people move more into the flow of His grace and power. And though we were far from perfect, the Lord did a “surprising work of grace.” If He could move in a setting like ours, there is surely hope for those who now read these words.
More each day, my fervent prayer is to encourage and help pastors in the fiery assaults they now face from every angle. And I very much write as a fellow learner, not some exalted lecturer of others. In sharing my testimony of God’s grace in a broken church, I am mindful of the importance of accuracy and balance. So to be clear, I am definitely not suggesting God led us to some magic formula that guarantees quick answers and continuous growth. The precise timing and number of how God moves is always in His hands, not ours. Neither am I implying if we just pray and surrender enough, everything will be rosy and we’ll see miracles by the minute. That is definitely not the case. We still live in earthen vessels of flesh with persecutions and spiritual warfare ever-increasing. Yet as we cast ourselves on God’s grace, there is great hope in His mercy and strength. The Lord Jesus has not lost His power and can still do “surprising works of grace!”
Christ’s Great Desire to Strengthen Pastors
Above all else, I pray this article brings encouragement and hope to fellow soldiers of the cross. The last thing I desire is for any pastor to feel condemned or discouraged about their difficult settings or lack of growth numbers. Thank the Lord, He does not judge us by church size or growth patterns. In some cases, church members just will not respond to serious calls to deeper prayer and surrender. All we can do is faithfully seek to encourage and equip. The response is ultimately up to them. I am further convinced some of the greatest eternal rewards may well go to pastors who were never called to write a book or privileged to see explosive growth. God most rewards the faithfulness, humility and purity with which we serve in our own appointed places. In fact, among God’s greatest heroes of faith are some of our bi-vocational pastors. Though they may be called “part-time,” there is nothing part-time about the hearts and ministries of so many.
It is also true that some of God’s greatest pastors have at one time or another been viciously attacked, fired, falsely scandalized or abandoned. (Some examples are the Lord Jesus, the Apostle Paul, Jonathan Edwards, etc.) Obviously, none of these were failures! And sometimes, it is the next pastor that gets to see the church grow. Our call there was to plow and deal with hindrances. That too is surely no failure. In truth, plowing and sowing are often harder than reaping. But remember, our gracious Lord definitely notices and rewards “degree of difficulty and sacrifice.” (Mark 12:41-44)
And pastors, even when we have totally blown it and it is all our fault, remember the ignominious failures of several leaders in the Bible. Yet, the Lord still loved them and used many again! Even as I write these words, I have a sense some readers need the encouraging message of Psalm 24:16. “Though a righteous man fall seven times, he will get up.” If the Lord still loved and used Peter, there is hope for us. So please don’t stay down dear pastor! Great are the Lord’s compassions and His mercies are new each morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23) And for pastors who may think “I’m just too far along in my ministry for major changes, God can still restore years locusts have eaten. And think of the key “old men” God picked and used in Scripture. I have seen several ministers of advanced years, experience a remarkable new work of grace.
As shepherds, the most crucial thing any of us can do is make sure we are truly abiding in the fervent prayer and surrender the New Testament describes. Sadly, I must confess there have been times since those early ministry years when I drifted back into what I call the “Martha Syndrome.” (Luke 10:38) And it always negatively impacted my life, family and church. This happens to us when (like well-meaning Martha), we get so busy trying to work for Christ and people, we don’t spend enough time with Him in prayer and total heart surrender. And just like Martha, we inevitably end up frustrated, vulnerable and spiritually powerless. The Lord is always as much (or more) concerned with our relationship with Him and what we are than just going through the outward actions of ministry. All of our works will be judged by what “sort” they are. (1 Corinthians 3:13)
Avoiding the “Martha Syndrome”
Modern Pastors’ Most Subtle Risk
Pastors, whether we are contemporary or traditional, reform or non-reform, charismatic or non-charismatic, the foundations of biblical prayer and surrender are equally non-negotiable for us all. If we are not mindful, the ministry itself can become as something of a false idol and mistress we place above closeness and full surrender to Christ Himself. The Lord is a jealous God who is grieved by over-focus or reliance on anything more than closeness and first love passion for Jesus. For Abraham, the key turning point was when God asked Him to sacrifice Isaac, his greatest love and promise. Pastors if we let them, even “blessings, ministry and outward success” can become heart idols that come ahead of God Himself. But thank the Lord, He is willing to renew us afresh if were turn to Him with all our hearts. (Zechariah 1:3)
Another vital key is for pastors to pray together and be partners, not competitors. That is why ministries like AllProPastors are so crucial. Absolutely none of us are designed to function as lone rangers! (And it would be arrogant to think that we are.) Frankly, I don’t believe I would have made it without a few special pastors who truly be-friended me. I would likely not be alive except for the personal friendship and prayers of Henry Blackably and T. W. Hunt. So as important as are activities, education and innovative programs, they can never replace powerful personal and united prayer with others.
There is actually one sense in which today’s unpresented explosion of education, innovative methods, ready-made sermons and strategies can become a subtle risk. It is the risk of emphasizing and relying more on these than on deep surrender, prayer and Holy Spirit-empowerment. Many pastors are even tricked into thinking “it is alright if my prayer life is kind of average because my main strength is preaching, pastoring, administration, or vision casting.” This is surely among Satan’s most damaging deceptions for today’s shepherds.
Distractions Bring Powerlessness and Vulnerability
Beyond question, too little time in prayer and surrender leaves pastors vulnerable to pornography, wrong relationships, and all other pitfalls. Fervent prayer also makes a huge difference in withstanding today’s unprecedented pressures upon marriage and parenting. The problem with the “prayer is not my main strength mindset” is that it is the exact opposite of the example and teaching of Jesus, the Apostles and virtually all leaders of historic awakenings. Since fervent prayer and surrender were definitely their priority practices, so too they must be ours! To do less is to do without God’s fullest anointing and power. Regardless of what some may think, we do not have a plan that is better than God’s.
After nearly four decades of researching historic awakenings and missions movements, it has never been more clear that fullest New Testament power and awakening must start with deeply cleansed, revived pastors. (Joel 2:17; Malachi 3:2-4; Acts 6:4; 2 Corinthians 7:1) As few before, our generation must re-learn the essential principle of the apostle Paul. Though he was a brilliant man of learning, he did not rely on high learning, leadership persona or persuasive words of men. His primary reliance was on the “demonstration of the Spirit and power.” (1 Corinthians 2:1-4) He summed it best when he wrote, “The kingdom of God is not in word (or talk), but in (spiritual) power.” (1 Corinthians 4:20) Regardless of the excellent new tools we are blessed to use, New Testament-type power still requires New Testament-type prayer, surrender and Spirit-empowerment. (Zechariah 4:6)
The Testimony From Then to Now
Though my first church never again saw quite the numbers of that initial strong move, God continued to do extraordinary things through deeper prayer and surrender. While we had little extra money, the Lord birthed a multi-state radio ministry and book distribution that ultimately went into many languages. Indeed, all that God has done in my life since, began from His grace in the faithful people of my first church. I will never forget their commitment. Then five years later in 1994, I contracted a devastating case of Lymes disease which was improperly diagnosed and treated. The illness did significant long-term damage. My doctor said I would likely need to go on disability as intense writing, preaching and missions travel would be difficult if not impossible.
As I prayed over this, I was begging God to heal me. And while in many cases He will heal, the Lord spoke through 2 Corinthians 12:9. It was where the Apostle Paul was begging God to deliver him from an incredibly painful thorn. But, the Lord told him “no.” He promised sufficient grace to give Him power in midst of pain and weakness. While I definitely did not want to hear that answer, I knew God could bring greater strength and fruit out of pain. So rather than healing, the Lord’s answer was to call me to still deeper levels of prayer and surrender. (And the truth is, we can always go deeper.) And though at that time I had never written an actual book, the Lord promised grace to write multiple books and spread them over key mission fields worldwide. In spite of many disappointments, battles, discouragements and struggles, God has been faithful to His word!
While, I have lived with pain and periodic bouts of extreme fatigue since 1994, there are now over forty books and resources on many mission fields. Solely by God’s hand, at least one book is printed in more than forty languages. And though doctors said extensive travel would be near impossible, the Lord has sent me nearly three million miles conducting over a thousand church and pastor renewal conferences.
God’s Strength in Our Impossibilities
Though better circumstances and healing can surely bring God glory, His grace can also be very real in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:10) If we walk in trust, His grace and joy are stronger than our circumstances. Though I have seen God’s gracious hand in forty years of ministry, I think the greatest joy is seeing the Lord work in prayer/renewal conferences in churches and pastors groups. The joy is actually seeing Christ’s shepherds and people face to face. For churches, our primary conference has been Going Deeper With God. With pastor groups, it is Principles of New Testament, Great Awakening-Type Ministry. And especially when ministering among persecuted underground pastors and churches, I have undoubtedly learned far more from them than they learned from me.
Because my heart passion is to help pastors and churches, I close this article with a mention of two practical books. The two Scripture-filled books are: How to Develop a Powerful Prayer Life and Returning to Holiness, or its later version, Return to Me Says the Lord. The book, Return to Me has appendices that are practical tools for effective daily prayer, full surrender and evangelistic intercession.
As readers might guess, these are the books God birthed from His gracious movement in my first church. The studies are specifically designed to raise believers’ level of prayer and deepen their surrender to Christ’s Lordship. They are about deeper intimacy, joy and power in Jesus. Above all, the studies are about glorifying God’s name and spreading Christ’s kingdom. The books are encouraging and practical for individual, small groups or church-wide growth and renewal. By God’s grace, people have donated nearly two million of these books in strategic mission fields.
In the US and Canada, we sell books for reasonable prices to make it easy for churches to use. The books can be obtained at www.frizzellministries.org for those in North America and Canada. Just go to our website and click on the “Ordering Resources” tab to find the particular books. For those outside North America, go to http://masterdesign.org/frizzellspecial.html. (Some of our other books are distributed only in the mission countries and are therefore not available on our website.)If I can help with information about a book or conference, it would be my deepest joy. Please feel free to contact me at info@frizzellministries.org.
As today’s darkness and persecution intensify, may God encourage, guide and protect all of His shepherds. It is and shall always be the most important calling on earth! As go pastors, so goes our churches. And as go our churches, so goes our cities, nations and the world. Let us determine to ever-abide in Christ and His word in us. In Him, we can “ask whatever we will, walk in joy and bear much fruit to the glory of God’s name!” (John 15:4-13)

What is “Counting the Omer”?
God’s people have been counting the omer or days from Passover to Pentecost (a.k.a. Shavuot, Feast of Weeks) for a long time. Why do God’s people count the days to Pentecost?
I looked up the phrase “counting the days” and one definition said …
Counting the Days: to wait for something that you want very much to happen.
I also looked up quotes about “counting the days” and several said something like this …
“Roses are read. Violets are blue. I’m counting the days, until I can finally see you.”
People who are engaged to be married count the days until their wedding. When I was a child, several of my teachers counted the days until summer vacation. All throughout history people have counted the days when they have been excited about something that was coming soon. So why have God’s people counted the days from Passover to Pentecost for thousands of years?
(Leviticus 23:15-16, 22) ‘You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete Sabbaths. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord. … When you reap the harvest of your land.
God’s people counted the days from Passover to Pentecost because Pentecost was the time when they reaped the Spring harvest. This was something people were excited about and wanted very much to happen. While they were counting the days, they were counting on God to give them a harvest that would supply all their needs.
After delivering His people from Egypt, God brought them to Mt. Sinai. When you count the days from Passover (or the time Israel left Egypt) you discover that Moses was meeting with God at Mt. Sinai on the day of Pentecost. This is certainly something to get excited about. As we count the days to Pentecost and think about Israel’s time with God at Mt. Sinai, we pray and hope that God will grant us a special revelation of Himself and His Word.
About 2,000 years ago while God’s people were in the Upper Room and counting the days to Pentecost, God again met with them in a very special way by giving them His Spirit. Just like God’s people in the first century, we need a fresh impartation of God’s Spirit.
God gave us His Word and Spirit on the same day because they work together to accomplish God’s purposes in our life. Receiving God’s Word and Spirit are not simply one-time events. When we first receive a revelation of God’s Word and Spirit, we are not complete or perfect. Every day we need more revelation of God’s Word, and a fresh impartation of His Spirit, and since He gave both on the same day, we should expect that this is a special day to pursue more of both.
Receiving more revelation of God’s Word, and a fresh touch of His Spirit is something that should excite us, and we should want to happen so we should be counting the days until Pentecost. We should be confident that God loves us so much that He wants to give us a fresh revelation of His Word, and impartation of His Spirit.
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it. I’m about to meet with God and I think I like it.

Ron was raised as a traditional Jew and was sent to deprogramming by his parents and rabbi in hopes of getting him to reject Yeshua (Jesus). He shares how he met the Jewish Jesus and helps other people meet the Jewish Jesus. Have you met the Jewish Jesus?
Are you a Biblical Citizen? What exactly does this mean? Is it important?
My answer is yes, and yes! It means taking your Christian Faith serious enough to stand strong with it and defending it in love.
In America the church has started to experience what many countries have endured for years. Shutting places of worship down and threatening pastors against preaching the word of God is just the beginning.
Pastors please wake up. I have a short video from my heart for you. It is just a short word on how I see things and some of what we have coming for you.
Paul is the Founder and CEO of All Pro Pastors International, a ministry that encourages and challenges Pastors to join together as Kingdom Brothers to develop trust, accountability and unity. It is a ministry that strengthens Pastors marriages, families, and ministries by establishing “Champions Tables”. The “Champions Table” is a safe place where Pastors can meet together and develop genuine relationships. The Champions Table is a pastors “Prayer Fortress!”
Pastor Paul Pickern is married to his wife Linda. They have 5 children (Tony, Stephanie, Dale, Seth, Schyler) and 12 grand children. Their home is in Plant City, Florida between Tampa and Orlando. Paul was born in Belleville, Illinois and Linda was born in Charleston, West Virginia.
The message of Passover is not simply one about God delivering His people Israel thousands of years ago. It is also about God delivering His people today. The Passover Seder begins looking back (in time) to Pharoah and the pyramids. It begins by celebrating what God did in the past, but after dinner it changes direction.
A person opens the door to see if Elijah is there waiting to join their Seder. If he’s not there, the person calls out, “Come out, come out wherever you are. Elijah you are our special guest of honor. We want you to join us tonight. Look, we’ve made a special cup and your name is written on it. It’s the prettiest cup on the table. We have some horse radish, charoset and matzah waiting for you. We also have a glass of Manischewitz Wine poured for you.” People have always known that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
Why do we invite Elijah to our Passover Seder? Elijah was not in Egypt during the time of slavery. He didn’t grow up with Moses. Elijah and Moses did not graduate from Pharoah High School together. What’s so special about Elijah?
As I thought about it, it’s not really Elijah people want. It’s what Elijah will do for us. It’s about who Elijah will bring with him. Elijah never died; he was physically taken up to heaven. People want Elijah to come because he will come back to earth, and when he does, he will bring the Messiah.
Once we invite Elijah to our Seder we are no longer looking back in history, but ahead to the future. Then we drink more cups of wine. The cups of wine were added to the Seder to remind us of the promises of God found in Exodus 6.
The fourth of cup reminds us of God’s promise: “I will take you for My people.” The 3rd cup reminded us that God will redeem or purchase us. When He does, we are His possession and belong to Him; He is Adonai our Lord and Master. This is important, but God wants more out of our relationship with Him. He wants to take us to be His bride. God purchased or redeemed Israel so He could marry them at Mt. Sinai.
Then Exodus 6 contains one more promise. This means we need to drink 5 cups (not 4). God’s 5th promise is: “I will bring you into the land.” God did not simply bring Israel out of Egypt. He did not just marry them at Mt. Sinai. God did not have their honeymoon last forever. After “enjoying” a 40-year honeymoon in the wilderness, God brought His bride home to Israel.
Israel was passing through Sinai on their way home. We too are passing through earth on our way home to heaven. We are foreigners and strangers on earth so don’t get too comfortable here. Yeshua is preparing our eternal home. Once it is ready, He will get us to bring us home. We end the Seder declaring, “Next year in Jerusalem.” It’s not just earthly Jerusalem we’re longing for, but the heavenly Jerusalem. Thank God for what He did in the past and look forward to what He promises to do in the near future. May we all be together next year in (the heavenly) Jerusalem!

Trans-humanism In the Bible
In our last article, we talked about the Covid vaccines and how they are, at minimum, experimental, and at maximum, the precursor to the Mark of the Beast (MOB) because we are beginning to change our genetic material from what God wrote to something that man wrote. They are changing our creator. But if you are still skeptical, then ask yourself this question. If they have isolated this virus and have an accurate test for Covid, then why are 80% of the people who test positive for Covid asymptomatic?
They also developed a natural “herd” immunity to Covid, which will last for a significant period. So, why are they pushing this vaccine so hard? Now consider that up to 80% of the people who take the vaccine become symptomatic. It becomes obvious, just as 55,000 doctors said in the “Great Barrington Declaration,” that head-to-head natural immunity (God’s way) is way better than man-made immunity.
Given these statistics, why would anyone take this vaccine if they have no risk of dying from Covid? Why are people around the globe losing their jobs and being bullied into taking this vaccine? Especially when here in the USA the “CDC Reports 1,637 Deaths Following COVID-19 Vaccinations.” In Europe, many countries have pulled the AstraZeneca vaccine due to complications. None of this makes sense. What is the real agenda? https://time.com/5842669/coronavirus-asymptomatic-transmission/ https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/many-receiving-second-covid-19-vaccine-dose-are-reporting-symptoms https://gbdeclaration.org https://thevaccinereaction.org/2021/03/cdc-reports-1637-deaths-following-covid-19-vaccinations/ https://medicalkidnap.com/2021/03/12/cdc-1524-dead-31079-injured-following-experimental-covid-mrna-vaccines/ https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/more-european-countries-halt-use-astrazeneca-vaccine
An Obsession with “Super”
In this current article, we want to explore some of the other temptations to alter our DNA. But the biggest question that we will address is whether the Bible has warned us of this coming genetic revolution. More specifically, did the Bible predict that something like trans-humanism would come along to offer something that Satan has been promising mankind since the Garden of Eden?
It is becoming more obvious that our society is becoming obsessed with “superheroes” or people with superpowers. If we add in aliens, magic, and sorcery, we have the plot of virtually every new movie. Yet, with all of this talk of superheroes, I want to remind us that Jesus is still the greatest superhero of all. Why? Because Jesus had to be born a man, live like a man, and die like a man to redeem all of mankind. Someone who wasn’t a man, with different DNA than ours, could not have achieved this superhuman feat because he wasn’t fully human.
This is the power of the Gospel. Through Christ, we will get a new super body, a new super destiny, a new super identity, a new super home, and new superpowers to boot. This is why the desire for something more is buried so deep within our hearts because this is what we were created to be. Satan knows how tempting this is for us. Consequently, the motivation to take the MOB may be more than just fear. It could simply be linked to our desire to be like God. Isn’t that why we are so fascinated with both superheroes and the supernatural world? Wasn’t this temptation to be super part of Satan’s first spiel? Maybe it wasn’t all fluff. Maybe the MOB will in some way full fill part of Satan’s promise to make us a little more “god-like.”
Altered Perception
What are some of the consequences of changing our DNA? Unfortunately, the consequences could be endless. I have heard Dr. Tom Horn talk many times about how when we transfer quail DNA in chickens, they move their heads like quail and sound like quail. These are complex memories and patterns of behavior that are instantaneously changed. Applying this to human beings could turn them into something that is not fully human. Even Francis Fukuyama, the Nobel peace prize-winning scientist that wrote “What is the world’s most dangerous idea?” did not stop there. He went on to write “Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution.”
This is where looking at the super-soldier program may be our best illustration of what is possible. What exactly are they looking to change about humans in this program? Some of the scary truth comes out in the article, “DARPA Continues Human Experiments to Create Military Super Soldiers.” In the article, they specifically say they are trying to: “enhance a soldier’s ability to kill without care or remorse, shows no fear, can fight battle after battle without fatigue, and generally behave more like a machine than a man.”
Unfortunately, they have been experimenting on human beings in this way for more than 20 years. But who would call the soldier they are describing human? More importantly, who would want to sign up for that? Honestly, that description could easily be a description of your average demon. If you are still struggling with understanding how unlocking and sequencing DNA is changing mankind, then here are some movies to watch that might help to get a handle on just what is possible.
INHUMAN: THE NEXT AND FINAL PHASE OF MANKIND IS HERE!
“Human Nature” & “Unnatural Selection” on Netflix – Detailing CRISPR technology
Trans-humanism?
Originally trans-humanism was changing our DNA and combining or splicing it with other species, but with the invention of CRISPR technology, it is possible to sequence our own designer DNA instead of using pre-existing DNA strands and splicing them together. What people fail to understand is that the fundamental tenet of transhumanism is to re-make mankind into a new image, and one of our own (or someone else’s) choosing. We have the technology to combine plants, animals, and humans to make human-hybrids that are stronger, smarter, less violent, and live much longer. This is the supposedly positive side of altering our DNA, but the super-soldiers sound more like demons more than men.
Nonetheless, if the promises of trans-humanism come true, which is to make a better man than God did, then how might this also be another kind of “cause” that motivates the whole world to take this marker? Who doesn’t want to look better, live longer, and have superpowers? Unfortunately, no matter what your narrative is, changing our DNA would be the extinction of the human race, at least the one that God created. God simply can not say that He created the kinds of changes that are being proposed. This is the point where we would stop being what God created and become something else.
This is why trans-humanism is the world’s most dangerous idea because it is the end of the human race and the beginning of another race. After all, from their perspective, we are just evolving. The problem is we are starting to evolve into beings who think they are gods. This is also why I believe trans-humanism is connected to the MOB. Certainly, the MOB would have to be considered the single most dangerous threat to salvation that mankind will ever see. Consequently, genetic manipulation of the human genome is the game-changer that the church is completely unaware of. But where their plan converges on our Bibles is that they need access to our bodies to execute their plan.
As we speak most of us are even now focused on some kind of outrageous assault on our freedoms because there are too many “causes” destroying our country to even count. Wouldn’t now be the perfect time to slip the world’s most dangerous agenda into play. Certainly, it could be argued that taking a vaccine is one of the main narratives of the COVID-19 deception. This elimination of the original genome that God wrote Himself could easily be the reason why God tells us that He has to return otherwise no one would be left. (Matthew 24:22)
Maybe, God is talking about His children. The ones who have His DNA, and the ones who bear His image. But none of this is possible unless they get access to our bodies. Even now they are getting us comfortable with their template and things like DNA and RNA. But the question is: did the Bible give us some huge hints that there might be a genetic component to the MOB?
For now, understand that trans-humanism is asking a question that has been raging in our minds since the temptation in the Garden of Eden. Do we want to be God’s children, or do we want to be something of our own making? Do we want to be a god? Now we must look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become. This has always been Satan’s agenda, to have a seed that looks like him.
While technology is getting better every day, there are still some glitches in the plan. They are not ready to roll out the MOB, but this cannot be a coincidence that these are the first vaccines to have mRNA. The mistake would be to think that these vaccines aren’t going to do anything, even though they won’t cause us to lose our salvation. Yet the fact remains that genetic codes are being sent into our bodies to re-write our God-given RNA, which in turn will make our bodies begin to do unnatural things. They are saying that these codes are only temporary, but that was not what happened when they tried this same technology on mice. That was not what Tal Zaks, chief medical officer of Moderna said was happening. So, my advice is don’t change anything God did.
The Precursor to MOB
The mistake would be to think that just because the first rocket didn’t put a man on the moon, that it didn’t go anywhere. Likewise, it would be a mistake to think that changing our RNA is harmless. More importantly, we could be looking for a treatment plan instead of a “one and done” deal. Rolling things out in stages would certainly avoid the obvious objections to the gross undeniable change that the MOB seems to cause.
A better way to roll this out simply means turning up the heat slowly. In other words, small genetic changes could produce smaller behavioral or spiritual changes that somehow change our perceptions and/or our ability to connect with God. In other words, our conscience may be the most important tool we have to remain in a good relationship with God. It is also true, that changing what we can see could also change us. What am I talking about? In the same way that Balaam’s donkey could see the angel and Balaam couldn’t, changing our DNA could change the world that we think we live in. A veil could be opened or closed. Here is an example that happened in one of the trials by AstraZeneca.
“They’ve Killed God; I Can’t Feel God Anymore – My Soul Is Dead” After the Vaccine.
https://beforeitsnews.com/prophecy/2020/09/theyve-killed-god-i-cant-feel-god-anymore-my-soul-is-dead-after-the-vaccine-urgent-read-2514214.html?fbclid=IwAR3nVNZGeCXg1_SjmswXoc9UqWzQwA9HUyuYjntaGf7b4Un4RZ4JKYQQebg
Not only can eyes be opened or closed, but certainly, splicing reptilian or wolf DNA into a human being would allow them to be able to kill more easily and with less remorse. This is why opening up our DNA for anyone to tamper with becomes the “pandora’s box” that should not be opened. The fact that they are using mRNA is a sign that they are now going to try and use genetic therapy to accomplish their goals from here on out.
The Covid deception is the greatest deception we have seen in our lifetime. It has also provided the “chaos” that the world’s governments have needed to require access to our bodies so that they can tamper with our genetic material? How is that not at least putting an engine on a frame with wheels? Surely, they are trying to make a car. Surely, this is at least a crime against humanity, and how can we as the church, keep silent for those that will hear?
The Great Deception
The problem that I have with most everyone in the field of Bible prophecy is that they are always telling us what is going to happen. Everyone is so sure that they know what the MOB that they aren’t even looking for it. I will be the first to tell you that I do not know what is going to happen, or even what it will all look like when it happens. This is why I believe we must speculate on the few things the Bible gives us based upon what we are seeing happen right now. (Luke 21) I believe this chaos, deception, governmental mandates, loss of freedom, and now experimental vaccines with RNA inside them are clearly saying that now is the season and Jesus is coming soon.
But what exactly are the churches standing up for? Mostly what I see is business as usual. Just continuing to preach their next sermon series and trying to stay away from anything political. Unfortunately, most people shut down this line of inquiry before I can even get started. That is why none of this is going to convince some people. I’ve had friends of mine that will tell me, “I’m sorry Kevan, you’re never going be able to convince me that the Mark of the Beast has anything to do with vaccines.” But honestly, this only proves my point that vaccines would be the perfect way to start a pattern of needing access to our bodies. People aren’t looking for it.
They have had many vaccines before and they didn’t turn into green-eyed monsters. But Christians are not the only ones to be alarmed at the idea of changing any of our genetic codes. Like it or not, changing our DNA is the world’s most dangerous idea. Not only is that idea here, but it is also now being partially executed through a vaccine that is surrounded by chaos.
Genetic Manipulation in the Bible.
There are many troubling passages in the Bible, but Genesis the third chapter is certainly one of them. This is the chapter that gives us the first prophecy in the Bible, and it is called the “War of the Seeds.” The key part of what God says to Adam, Eve, and Satan is “I will put enmity (make enemies, open hostility, war) between you and the woman, and between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, and you shall [only] bruise His heel.” AMP This is prophetic of the coming of the Messiah who is the “seed or offspring” of a woman, which was fulfilled through the virgin birth.
The problem is that most people do not look at this verse as the template or strategy for how Satan plans on defeating God and His children. Satan is looking to have children himself. There is almost nothing that God does that Satan does not want to emulate. It would also seem to wage this war against God that Satan needs a lot of help. Remember, he only took one-third of the angels in heaven with him, so he is hopelessly outnumbered. (Revelations 12:4) Not only does Satan need children, but he also wants them, and the more they look like him the better.
Certainly, Satan’s desire to also take everything of God’s is why we are in a battle for souls of humanity, but does someone giving their soul to Satan fulfill this passage? I don’t believe that it does. This passage says that Satan’s greatest plan is to create offspring that will help him wage this war against God’s children. The problem is where is Satan’s seed or offspring? An even more fundamental question is how could Satan alter the DNA necessary to make his dreams come alive?
The Days of Noah
How this could happen, we are not able to answer because we have no way of knowing how much technology Satan knows. The mistake would be to think that Satan isn’t actively exploring any avenue that will help him win the war. Either way, Genesis 3 should be considered to be the backdrop for Genesis 6:6, which is the strangest story in the Bible. However, if we were already looking for the appearance of a new creature that was not created in the first 6 days of creation, then it becomes just a little less strange.
Of all the questions surrounding Genesis 6, we have to remember that the end result was the creation of the Nephilim. The Nephilim are the only real candidates for the literal “seed (offspring) of Satan” in the entire Bible. The problem is that “how this happened” is still controversial even to this day. Now I am not here to tell us that I know whether disobedient angels can have sex with women, but I am not sure that is absolutely what the text says. More importantly, if I can take a swab of anyone’s DNA and have a baby with them, no matter what sex they are, then how is Satan less technologically advanced than we are?
What I get from the passage is quite simple. Human women were taken by fallen angels, but they were also punished for what they did in the Days of Noah. (2 Peter 2:4 & Jude 1:6) The “Sons of God” did not marry these women and there was no wedding. They did not seem to keep them for very long either. When they came back, they were pregnant. When they delivered these children, they were different in every way, which means that they had different DNA. What could have changed their DNA?
While the Nephilim were different, they could still breed with humans, which means they were human hybrids. Again, if left unchecked, these genetic manipulations would have destroyed all of God’s creation by contaminating His seed or offspring. Considering that the Messiah was to come from the “seed of the woman” this was not something God could overlook. This would certainly be considered an act of war by anyone’s standards. Consequently, God had to intervene to keep the Messianic lineage uncorrupted.
Genetic integrity is also why Noah was chosen because he was “perfect in his generations.” (Genesis 6:9) The Bible goes on to tell us that God destroyed the world with a flood because all flesh had become corrupt. (Genesis 6:12) Taking that passage literally could certainly mean that their DNA had become corrupt. All of the “Days of Noah” narrative fits the Genesis 3 template. If the Nephilim or giants were indeed Satan’s genetically modified offspring, then the only question left to ask is, “were they at war with humans?
The Bible teaches that these two people groups were at war with each other. While the flood took care of most of the issue, the Nephilim continued on the earth for some time after the flood, but that was not to last. That is because the Bible commanded that they were to be killed everywhere they were found. (Deuteronomy 2:10-11, 2:21, and 3:11) These specific passages have become notorious with critics of the Bible because they have allowed them to say that God of the Bible could not possibly be a God of love to do such things.
But if we understand what God said would happen immediately after the fall of mankind (the war between the two seeds or offspring), then all of this starts to make sense. Different seed, different offspring, and their differing genetic codes are important themes from the very beginnings of our faith, but only in modern times have we been able to understand the genetic implications of these passages.
The DNA Wars
Why is all of this important? Jesus specifically tells us that just before He returns it would be just like the “Days of Noah. (DON) (Matthew 24:37) No matter what really happened in Genesis 6, the Nephilim narrative becomes the distinguishing feature of the DON. Can it then be a coincidence that in modern terms, genetic manipulation in the form of trans-humanism is once again producing a new offspring with a different seed or DNA? Their mistake the first time was to make these hybrids too different. Keep this in mind for the next phase of their age-old war. The difference this time is that God will once again have to intervene.
So, the obvious question is: if one of the major indicators that we are in the end times is that we see a new kind of hybrid human being, then maybe the Days of Noah are once again upon us. Combine this with the “super sign,” which is the mere existence of Israel and the controversy that has caused around the world, then everything necessary seems to be in play for the “end times.” (Zechariah 12:3) So, why can’t the MOB start to show its head?
Especially if there is a connection between the seed of Satan, the DON, and the MOB. Yet, there is yet another passage that speaks of two kinds of seed that is directly applicable to the people groups living in the last days. I am talking about the “Divided Kingdom” found in Daniel the 2nd chapter. Recall we are talking about the image with the head of gold followed by silver, bronze, iron, and then a unique or “divided kingdom” because it has two distinct kinds of people. Partly iron and partly clay, in that “they” mingled themselves with the seed of men, and the two would not mix.” (Daniel 2:43)
Who are the “they” being referenced here? One would have to say that the best candidate would have to be the same beings that pulled off the same feet previously. This would be the “Sons of God” or disobedient angels who were punished for what they did in the Days of Noah. Again, thinking back to the only hybrid people with mixed, mingled, or with a different seed certainly causes Genesis 3 & 6 to come to mind. Again, the Nephilim are the only clear candidates.
So, Daniel is giving us some great information reminiscent of the DON. Here is what I hear Daniel saying. In the “last days,” there are two kinds of people. Those with mingled or mixed seed, and those with unmingled or unmixed seed. But the two do not get along. Again, the seed we are talking about here in modern terms is DNA, which certainly produces two different kinds of people or offspring.
True to history, the idea of putting these two people groups together again would certainly be like trying to mix oil and vinegar. It is not going to work and everyone knows it. This is why the National Institutes of Health granted $773,000 to Case Law School to help determine “ethically acceptable rules” for how to integrate hybrids into our society. When this comes out, a new level of racism is going to immerge between those who have human DNA versus those with trans-human DNA.
https://www.christianpost.com/news/listening-to-the-transhumanists.html
Of course, the biggest complaint against some of the narratives involving the Nephilim is the lack of physical evidence. This is where I believe there is a provable cover-up. Some of this cover-up is detailed in the movie, “A Race of Giants.” The movie is not from a religious point of view. Nonetheless, the movie documents that in America alone there have been over 1,500 newspaper accounts that have referenced 3,781 skeletons of a race of blond-haired giants (7-12 feet tall).
Recently, LA Marzulli has documented many of the elongated skulls, and shown how they have different DNA than we have. (See the Watcher Series: Expert Analysis: DNA results) I go further into this argument in my “Days of Noah” series on prophecydays.com. There you will find a video link, an MP3 audio file, and a download of my notes. At this point, the fundamental question for many of us is why is changing our genetic codes a big problem.
Kinsman Redeemer Idea
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. (Hebrews 10:4)
Animals cannot redeem humans, but Jesus can because he is related to us. Jesus is our kinsman. This is why Jesus had to be born a man, live like a man, and die like a man to redeem mankind. Jesus would be the first one redeemed to heaven, which is a higher reality of love, holiness, and joy unspeakable. Even though that higher reality has been watching over us, and cheering for us, there was no way that we could ever redeem ourselves. Vice versa, heaven could not compromise itself and allow evil to enter back in. (Revelation 21:27) No man was good enough until Jesus.
That is why Jesus’s disciples called him “good.” (Mark 10:18) Because Jesus was God, He was able to be the unblemished lamb and redeem the sins of the whole world. He redeemed our race because He was of the same race. Even more glorious, Jesus now sits on the throne of heaven. What people forget (and what Dr. Michel Heiser points out) is that there is a government in heaven that includes divine courts and counsels. The point is that the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus destroyed the legal obstacles that were preventing the reinstatement of our birthright as children of God.
That being said, if we were to argue the rights of a father to his son here on earth, most likely the court would order a DNA test. If the father has no common alleles, then that father would have no paternal rights to the child. Why do we do that? Because in some sense the father is also partly the creator of the child, but only if part of the father is also in his child. Now, I am not trying to say that our DNA saves us, but it is part of who we are and why we look like our Father.
On the other hand, we are not just spiritual beings, even though it is being “born again” of the spirit that ultimately saves our souls and our bodies. The great news is that this rebirth of the spirit will one day also give us back a new physical body. Not surprisingly, all of the saints who have gone on before us are waiting expectantly for the day when they get their bodies back. (Romans 8:23) The mistake is to think of our bodies as only a box we live in as if they do not affect who we are. The reason the Saints groaned is that without their bodies they were incomplete. Our bodies give us input, they affect our identity, and they give us a way to connect and express ourselves in the physical world. Part of us is in our bodies.
God Wrote Our DNA
If the word of God is sharper than any sword, then what is it about God’s words that makes them so powerful? There are many components to this answer, but part of the answer is that words relay information. If they come from God, they communicate correct information or truth. As we know from scripture, it is the truth that sets us free from the lies of Satan. More importantly, the right words or truth are more powerful at creating a right relationship with God than any other commodity.
Here is the parallel. Just like words, DNA is an information system. But unlike words, DNA also has the ability to change the physical reality of the user. This is why God has specifically commanded that we not mix species. (Leviticus 19:198) If we change DNA in any species, then we are changing what God created, which means we are playing God. We are also changing the image from something that God had previously called “good.” But are we capable of making something better than God?
When I think about changing anything God did or said, I like to remember that if God said something different, then all of reality would change. This is why God never changes because if He did, He would be less Holy, righteous, and loving. This is also why changing any part of what God created is wrong in general. However, when it is directed at changing our DNA, I believe it is blasphemy. After all, changing the words of the Bible has the same effect. (Revelation 22:18-19)
What I am asserting is that if God wrote our DNA, then our DNA is relaying correct information. However, if we change our DNA, then we are changing the truth of God’s creation into a lie. We are choosing to change our very identity at a fundamental level. If we change our DNA, then whose children would we be? If Satan has been planning on how to have more children since Genesis 3, how far do you think he has gotten since then? More importantly, how far can we go and still be human? How far can we go and still be related to Adam or Jesus? Only the courts of heaven could ever know, and I don’t intend on finding out.
Blaspheming the Temple of the Holy Spirit
While it is common for Christians to teach that our bodies are “the temple of the Holy Spirit,” it is not common for them to realize that every measurement of that temple is determined by the information found in our DNA. Historically, changing the dimensions or any part of the temple, Holy of Holies or the “Ark of the Covenant” would all be considered blasphemy. Now consider that the other unforgivable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which essentially comes down to denying the ultimate truth, “Jesus is Lord.”
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:16-18)
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8; also see 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
Vice versa, all of the people who worship the beast obviously do not believe Jesus is the Son of God. This is a deal-breaker for all of heaven. After all, three simple words, “Jesus is Lord,” are the most important and utterly undeniable facts of the universe. However, this information is still something that only the Holy Spirit (HS) can reveal to us. If we deny the truth of Jesus, it is difficult to understand how someone can be saved because they have repeatedly blasphemed the witness of the HS. Keep in mind just how important the Holy Spirit is in our lives because Jesus said that it was better for Him to leave so that the Holy Spirit could come and live inside of us.
If that Holy Spirit cannot come inside us, then we have blasphemed the HS’s message. On the other hand, it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can walk and talk with God every day in the garden of our hearts. However, no matter how much God loves us, not following instructions or correct information is what caused Adam and Eve to sin in the first place. The same is also true for Cain. Not following the instructions for the measurements of the temple could cause God to refuse to inhabit it. It is dangerous to destroy God’s temple because God promises to destroy anyone who dares to do that.
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
If God refused to inhabit a temple that was not what He instructed or designed, then why wouldn’t this also apply to our bodies? Can a Holy God inhabit an un-holy temple constructed in direct disobedience? Can a holy God inhabit the unholy seed or offspring of Satan who is created in Satan’s image? Remember, God hates sin, lies, and hate. So, how could God love or inhabit a being created based on lies, sin, and hate?
This is why I believe the first unforgivable sin is connected to the second unforgivable sin, which is the MOB. I believe the MOB is also blaspheming the Holy Spirit because it defiles or destroys the temple of the Holy Spirit and making the person uninhabitable. Vice versa, Satan also wants to make a person that he or his demons can inhabit because most of them are disembodied spirits, which means they are looking for a body to inhabit and to express themselves into the world.
This is why we cannot worship God and Satan. There is a choice that has to be made, and that is why people must choose the MOB for it to work at all. The problem is that if they do, then they have defiled the temple of God, which is their own body by corrupting the image that they were made in. They are also permanently changing who’s seed or offspring they are. At best, it would seem difficult to imagine how the HS could inhabit the children of Satan. Yet, this is the promise of trans-humanism, to remake mankind into a new image and one of our choosing.
Now consider the Covid “cause” and the effect that it is having on our governments. Now the thing that we have to take to let things go back to normal requires taking something that has never been proposed in human history. The genetic material in the form of messenger RNA is now sending new messages into our bodies and rewriting God’s instructions. Who in their right mind would want to do that, but it is happening right now because of the great deception? Unfortunately, both political parties are pushing it as the solution to the problem. The only difference is that some of them are saying it should be mandatory.
Here is an article that details recombinant DNA and CRISPR technology, and how we can incorporate new information into human beings to make them better.

Enter the Alien Agenda
As if I haven’t pushed the envelope enough, I am still going there because there is an obvious connection. Few are willing to talk about it, but I am going to point out how this phenomenon is manifesting some of the exact narratives of these articles. More importantly, why aren’t we talking about aliens? After all, more Americans now believe in aliens more than God. (see below) That statistic alone should be a strong indicator as to how the Anti-Christ might best present himself to the world as its true savior. So, how can we not talk about that? After all, the things we don’t talk about are the very things that the world only hears one side of the story.
https://entertainment.ie/trending/statistics-show-that-more-people-believe-in-ghosts-and-aliens-than-god-342325/
Not only is the TV show “Ancient Aliens” popular, but much of it can also be easily debunked. (see below) However, even some basic investigation of the alien hypothesis can yield some startling intersections with Biblical themes. For instance, there is a movie on amazon prime called, Extraordinary: The Seeding. Not only does this movie have multiple accounts of women being abducted by aliens and coming back pregnant, but the name of it is “The Seeding,” which is the same word our Bibles uses talking about what Satan will one day have.
These same women are abducted again before giving birth, and this time the baby is taken. Later, some of these women are abducted and met their children. Ok, so what does that sound like? This is almost the same scenario talked about in Genesis 6. The difference seems to be that they have learned a few things since then. Meaning, they don’t let the baby be born because that might make world news.
Whether we believe in alien abduction or not, they have several connection points with some of the supernatural things found in the Bible. One example is when angels helped Peter escape prison. Like the cuffs falling off, people can pass through other solid objects. Just like Peter’s guards, people can be paralyzed so they are helpless. The shocking thing is that the people in the UFO community teach that once an abduction starts, it cannot be stopped. But this isn’t true.
A man by the name of Joe Jordan, a MUFON certified investigator, has documented hundreds of cases where the name of Jesus stopped those aliens’ abductions in their tracks. Now, what does that sound like? It sounds like we should be teaching that from every pulpit in the country. Through this discovery, Joe not only became a Christian, but he now helps people see the connection between the alien agenda and demons. He also sees a connection between Satan’s desire to have a seed or modern Nephilim, and the alien agenda.
https://youtu.be/NuMajWp_EzA & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOC7K3L86TM
But Joe Jordan is not the only one. Dr. David Jacobs is the author of “UFO Controversy in America,” “Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions,” and “The Threat.” Dr. Jacobs has been studying alien abductions for longer than anyone (30+ years). In an interview, Dr. Jacobs was asked what alien abductions have in common. He said it was their “obsession with genetic material.” When asked what he made of that he replied, they have their “own breeding program.” Now, what does that sound like? The only thing that stops these entities is the name of Jesus, and they are obsessed with genetic material probably because they have a breeding program.
Could this be why the world is going so crazy so fast? We always talk about how we are in spiritual warfare with spiritual powers and principalities, but could there be a literal seed of Satan already among us? Could this same seed be a way for disembodied demons to manifest themselves into our world and take up the age-old “War of the Seeds?” Again, I cannot say whether this is all true, but I can say that the alien phenomenon clearly has intersections with Biblical narratives like the “Days of Noah” and demonology.
The last thing I am going to mention about the alien agenda is something that Pastor Billy Crone has brought out in some of his alien studies that can be found on YouTube. Billy is a Baptist minister, but he came out of the new age movement. Consequently, he is familiar with remote viewing, astral projection, and out-of-body experiences. But one of my favorite sermons was about how aliens act like demons. Billy also does a great job at showing how many of the new age authors are channeling or remote writing for spirits who identify themselves as aliens.
Coincidentally, they are always from specific constellations that are historically occultic. This fact alone should make all of us consider the possibility that when the Abyss is opened, and the spirits who have been in prison are released, one of the obvious ways they may present themselves to the world is an alien race. Now that would certainly be quite the deception, especially when more people now believe in aliens than God.
The War of the Seeds
Just as God desires to have children, Satan also wants to do the same, but he needs them for a far more sinister purpose; to wage war against the children of God. Satan himself was a child of God and he wants to recruit us in his cause against God. But I also believe that Satan also wants to be the father and creator to a new category of beings. He can do this by remaking mankind into his image. This fundamental change is possible through trans-humanism and modern science.
If we consider the Bible to be true, then it is possible that the “war of the seeds” may be upon us just as it was in the “Days of Noah.” Unfortunately, it may be one of the major backdrops for the turmoil of the “end times.” Breakthroughs like CRISPR mean that people will be able to change their race or even create a new race of beings. I also believe that the current mRNA vaccines mark the beginning of genetic experimentation on the masses.
Unfortunately, the worldwide “cause” has blinded some people. Yet, none of this deception would be possible if we had not failed to see the connection of our body and our spirit. Our bodies are more than just our habitation (earthly house, tent, or tabernacle). (2 Corinthians 5:2) Our bodies and our DNA are why we look like God. (1 John 3:2) Dr. Michael Heiser summarizes much of the whole Bible into a drama surrounding God’s “divine family.” Dr. Heiser also calls us God’s “imagers,” meaning that we look exactly like God. This also makes sense because Jesus looks like us.
The Politically Correct Church
When we see Jesus face to face, we will look like Him and we will be like Him. (1 John 3:2) How would that meeting go if we didn’t look like Him? If DNA determines how we look, then how can anyone claim that overwriting (what God wrote) our natural RNA or possibly our DNA is somehow godly? This vaccine, by all appearances, is the start of changing what God wrote into our genes, which is why I believe this is the precursor to the MOB.
Consequently, we have no idea what kinds of doors we are opening up. There is little room to debate that we are not officially messing with the code of life, which is a form of playing God. Unfortunately, churches see this subject as a medical or political issue, so they are steering clear of it as if it will go away. But not all churches are being silent. Some are speaking truth, which is that something more than fishy is going on here.
Black leaders dare to tell the truth about vaccine depopulation GENOCIDE – https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-03-04-situation-update-mar-4th-black-leaders-tell-the-truth-vaccine-depopulation-genocide.html
There is a world-wide assault on all of our freedoms. But of all the freedoms we are losing, (speech, guns, family, marriage, boys, girls, to show our face, travel, work, liberty, and privacy), losing the rights to our own body would be the ultimate loss of freedom. Anything that comes against this right or even has the potential to change our DNA, should be avoided at all costs. One thing we know, there is a mark that is coming, but we don’t know exactly what it is except that it changes us in some way. Not only can we not be saved, but we worship the Anti-Christ whether we want to or not.
The only way we can be safe is to come out from among them. We can no longer afford to be neutral. We must defy our government and its mandates peacefully. Remember, Jesus was killed for many reasons, but one of them was political. How can we expect anything different in the end times? Our society has broken with its Christian heritage. Consequently, there is coming a day very soon, where people will no longer be able to believe what they see on TV or hear in the media and still be Christian. The false Covid narrative has already emptied our churches, and the next great “cause” will be even worse.

We who are mature in the Lord must begin to prepare those we can for this break with our society. We are now only a sub-culture or counter-culture. While we can still strive for peace, there is a war that is coming and we cannot shrink back because we are carrying the truth down to our DNA. We must continue to stand up for the Great Commission of our Lord. Just with one small change. Beware of the Mark of the Beast! Do not give up access to your body lightly. If we heed His commands, we have a promise from the Lord. He will be with us “always, even unto the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
I hope you will join me in the coming weeks for our final article. I believe it promises to be yet another eye-opening experience as we explore the mystery of what is hidden in our foreheads, and its connection to the MOB. This is only one of the great schemes of the Devil that we hope to expose in our next article. May God grant us all the strength to be a light on a hill and a lamp for those who are looking where to step in these difficult times.

Dr. Dennis O’Hara was born and raised on Long Island, NY and was an athlete throughout his school years. He fell in love with chiropractic while being helped as a patient for numerous sports injuries. Dr. O’Hara has been in practice since he graduated from National College of Chiropractic in April 1992. Dr. O’Hara continued his education achieving his Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.
Dr. O’Hara’s clinical emphasis focuses on injuries of the neck and back, Sports injuries, biomechanical and postural correction and rehabilitation. He has worked with amateur and professional athletes and was the chiropractic physician for the Washington DC United MLS soccer team from 1996-1998. Dr. O’Hara had been a ringside physician for amateur MMA from 2009 through 2015 having worked hundreds of hours evaluating fighters before and after fights.
Dr. O’Hara’s continued passion for chiropractic drives his desire to help educate the public on the importance of spinal health and overall wellness.wait to deceive.” We will let people back into the church. We will be the rock upon which God

Dr. Kevan Kruse has been practicing Chiropractic in the Bay area since 1992. Educated at the University of Tampa and Life University, Kevan received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Doctorate of Chiropractic. Kevan was born in Florida, but he was raised with down to earth Midwestern values. These values translate into an office that is dedicated to serving patients in a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. Each patient is evaluated on an individual basis and treated appropriately.
Dr. Kruse is also open to multi-disciplinary approaches to health care, with his focus being primarily chiropractic and nutritional ways to help solve health problems. His fascination and extensive participation in sports makes his treatment of automobile accidents, work related injuries and sports injuries especially on-target. Dr. Kruse is married to Alexandra and they have two sons named Wiatte and Whestan. Dr. Kruse supports many local charities and attends Bell Shoals Baptist church, where he occasionally teaches classes on various topics.
Why is the church important? The church is where the friends of Jesus meet and grow. It is a hospital for those who admit they are sick and who want to get better. The church is not a building or an organization, it is just people. The church is also part of your spiritual family. Does anyone you know have a perfect family? Good, because that won’t happen in church either. You won’t like all the people there, but you will grow to love many of them. You may have to visit around some to find the right church for you, but if you work at it, you will be better for it. My church friends are one of my greatest sources or encouragement and joy.
The Beast & The Vaccine
This article is the 3rd part of the “Covid Beast”
Update: More Mandates Are Coming!
Just in the last two weeks, more mandates are being made to force us into taking this “supposed vaccine.” The pressure is on and people are losing their jobs all over the world because they are refusing to take these vaccines. Even in America, cruise ships are demanding that we be vaccinated to board a ship.
“NY is testing a ‘COVID passport,” to make sure that everyone complies with the vaccine mandates, which will begin at NY Rangers games. Recently, a New York City waitress was fired for refusing to get the vaccine. While some people think we are supposed to comply with all state mandates, I believe now is the time to take a stand because our Bibles have given us a warning about this scenario.
This article is going to be a deep dive into these vaccines. But we need to remember that we win, and nothing can shut down our faith, even persecution. More importantly, the gospel is still being preached freely and Jesus is still changing people’s lives just like He always has. So, before we deal with the powers and principalities that are fighting against us, we have to decide who we are going to be? Are we going to people who live in fear, or have we been called to be a witness in times such as this? But current events are telling us that time is running out for God’s creation. Now is the time for the watchmen on the wall to begin to sound the alarm that there is movement on the horizon, and it isn’t our troops who are moving.
Unfortunately, the church is more asleep today than it has ever been in my lifetime. Not only does the church need to wake up, but they must stop being “lukewarm.” Cultural Christianity is no longer going to work because our society has completely disconnected from the foundations of our faith. More importantly, they are now spreading lies that are causing people to give up their freedoms and stop going to church. Unfortunately, this falling away, especially among the church, is another sign that Jesus is coming soon.
The tribulation is also coming, and we need to get the message out to anyone that might find themselves in it. They will need to be warned of the danger ahead, and what not to do in the tribulation. Those that hear wisdom and accept knowledge will not be deceived by the coming deception. They will be a lifeline to the new breed of saints that will pass through the greatest fire the world has ever seen.
The “Cause”
We have talked about the Covid narrative and how it has blossomed into a worldwide “cause” that has partially manifested many of the main components leading up to the MOB scenario. Our governments are in the process of mandating access to our bodies. Many of us could lose our license or our ability to work, which would certainly make it difficult to “buy and sell.”
Of course, we will still explore the three remaining components of the MOB, including the connection of the MOB to the number 666, why the MOB has something to do with our right hand or our forehead, and how the people who take this mark will also worship the beast. But before we jump into talking about this supposed vaccine, we have to address the other “elephants” in the room.
False Assumptions
Unfortunately, I have found that many Christians and pastors will not even entertain the idea that a precursor (pattern or template) to the MOB is here because of the following:
The rapture hasn’t occurred yet, so this can’t be the MOB.
The Anti-Christ is the one who requires the MOB, and He hasn’t appeared yet.
The one-world government isn’t here yet, so this can’t be the MOB.
The Mark of the Beast has to be something that we know is the MOB. In other words, there can be no deception concerning what the MOB is or what it does to us.
The MOB must be a visible mark or a physical computer chip. This vaccine does not leave a visible mark on us, so it cannot be the MOB.
The MOB is about worship. The worship of the beast. Vaccines have nothing to do with worship.
The problem with all of these statements is the Bible does not teach these exact scenarios, let alone a step-by-step process for exactly how things are going to go in the end times. Many of these ideas are based on probable scenarios, but not definitive scripture. For example. while the rapture is going to happen, the timing of the event is hotly debated. I would not bet my life on any of them. When it comes to my philosophy for how to navigate these trying times, I use Luke 21, both as my template and my attitude for studying Bible Prophecy.
In Luke 21, Jesus tells us the end would come shortly after Jerusalem would is no longer be trodden down by the gentiles. This is the season Jesus was talking about and that season started in 1967. Until then, we hadn’t seen anything happen in almost 2000 years. But suddenly, God’s time clock started ticking again. Then Jesus says, “when you see these things beginning to happen, stand up, lift up your head, for your redemption is drawing closer.” God’s people are in the land, and now specific parts of the MOB scenario are happening right in front of us and very few are talking about it. Yet the church refuses to alter its next sermon series because they fail to recognize the “signs of the times.” This is why I believe it is time to start waking people up to the fact that Jesus is coming soon and that there is a world-wide “cause” that is deceiving so many.
When it comes to the MOB, the Bible doesn’t say that the Anti-Christ institutes the MOB. It is a world-wide “cause” is that motivates everyone towards the MOB. Certainly, the Anti-Christ does finish the job, but a “cause” is what starts it all. As far as the one-world government, it is getting harder to believe that there is no powerful conspiracy controlling the media, internet and manipulating virtually every country towards its goal of global control. Chaos or a cause is the most likely way they will accomplish this goal. So, where is the conundrum? The “cause” comes before the mark, and who knows what else? Since we don’t know what the MOB is, we don’t know its true effect on how things will play out.
For example, nowhere does the Bible tell us that the MOB is visible. In fact, we can be marked by things that are so small, we could never see them. They can mark us in ways that we have even yet to imagine. The fact is that the Bible tells us so little about the MOB, it is surprising that we have gotten so dogmatic about exactly how all of this is going to come down. Our preconceived ideas about what we think will happen are why people can’t see the fulfillment of Bible prophecy even though it is happening right in front of them.
This is why I have always taught that Bible prophecy was not given to us to predict the future, but so we know that God knows the future. You could also say that prophecy is a way for us to know that the future is here. It is also helpful to remember that the main characteristic of the end times is deception. Don’t you think that our enemy knows the common or most popular scenarios being taught about Bible prophecy? Wouldn’t he naturally try and avoid them so that he did not set off any alarms? This is why Bible prophecy is cryptic. God is going to give us broader and more general warnings so that we can recognize an infinite variety of Satan’s plans. Too many specifics and Satan would just change his plan.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. (Matthew 24:24)
The 1st Lie
Satan is the father of lies. As Christians, we must be willing to address his lies to thwart his agenda. The first lie is that this vaccine is a vaccine. The best description of these vaccines is genetic therapy. The second lie we are being told is that all of this will go away if everyone just takes it. But this vaccine does not make us immune to Covid-19. Even after taking any of the vaccines, we can still get Covid, and we can still spread or transmit Covid. Consequently, we will still have to wear masks, and we still have to social distance. Exactly how is this going back to normal?
Every other commercial is selling this lie to the American people. Taking these vaccines is not going to let us go back to normal, and this is not going to let us develop specific immunity to Covid. At best, it will only lessen the symptoms. Unfortunately, the church has divorced itself from matters of the state until they have believed the same lie the media is selling. This divorce has left us “churchgoers” alone and empty as we try and make some of the most difficult choices of our lives. The problem is, now we will have to roll up our sleeves and capitulate for the lie. Now they want access to our bodies so they can change something.
** The day I released this article, the CDC is now saying that vaccinated people can hang out with vaccinated people. Of course, now comes the obvious question; how are they going to know who has had the vaccine, and who doesn’t? Maybe they need a mark.
While vaccines may have had some beneficial value in the past in such cases as Polio, Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, some scientists argue these diseases were well on the decline before the vaccines were introduced. However, they can also be used for great evil. Furthermore, vaccines do fulfill the essence of a Biblical warning about giving our governments access to our bodies. If you don’t think vaccines can be used by evil, then watch the movie “The Origin of Aids” on Amazon Prime. Aids has killed 85 million people worldwide and all of it could be related to a vaccine. Additionally, the movie gives a lot of information about how vaccines are made and why they work, which is important as we move forward.
Something is different about this vaccine. As it turns out when my wife went to give blood, she was asked several times if she had been vaccinated. Asking the tech about that, she was told that people who receive this vaccine cannot give blood. This is not unprecedented, but now I wonder just how long this will be the case. She asked why this was an issue and they just told her that if she had received a covid vaccine they would not be able to use her blood or platelets for anyone currently suffering from covid. They only wanted people that have never had the vaccine to donate blood and plasma. That should be alarming to anyone that has received a vaccine.
After all, that means you will not be able to give your blood to your child should they require a transfusion for any reason. How long this might be an issue was never stated, but as a parent, it is shocking that this kind of information has never been disclosed to people receiving these vaccines. Unfortunately, this supposed vaccine should more accurately be called gene therapy because it is the first vaccine that also can rewrite your genetic code. If the hair on the back of your neck just stood up, you are not alone. One of the key articles outlining these facts comes from an interview with Dr. David Martin.
This information can also be found in the vaccine paperwork from both Moderna and Pfizer, but Dr. David Martin drops quite a few bombs about the Covid deception and their supposed vaccines. The first being that this is not a vaccine in any traditional sense. The word vaccine is only being used to sneak it through public health exemptions and protocols. Here are some of the most striking statements from the interview.
No vaccine is in development for… SARS-CoV-2 virus. That doesn’t exist… It’s one of the unfortunate things about what’s going on in the propaganda war.
When asked if SARS-CoV-2 was “the virus” and COVID-19 was the disease.Dr. Marten responded, “COVID 19 is not a disease. It is a series of clinical symptoms… One is a virus, in their definition, and one is a set of clinical symptoms. The illusion in February was that SARS-CoV-2 caused COVID-19. The problem with that definition and with the expectation is that the majority of people who test positive… are not ill at all. The illusion that the virus causes a disease fell apart. That’s the reason why they invented the term asymptomatic carrier.
They’ve made a false assumption that SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19… Most of the people who have a positive test will never have a single symptom. Most of the people who have symptoms do not have positive tests.
The official numbers that we get trapped across the screens every morning of our computers, in our televisions, those numbers are willfully lying… They have been willfully lying since the inception of this. A viral infection hasn’t been documented in the majority of what is called cases.
“The second half of the problem is that what is being touted as a vaccination” is not. There is no “attenuated or live virus or a fragment of an attenuated virus.” There is no prevention “from transmitting the infection,” which is what the “common definition of a vaccine is meant to do.’
The problem is that in the case of Moderna and Pfizer, this is not a vaccine. This is gene therapy. It’s a chemotherapy agent that is gene therapy. It’s sending a strand of synthetic RNA into the human being and is invoking within the human being, the creation of the S1 spike protein, which is a pathogen. It’s a toxin inside of human beings. This is not only not keeping you from getting sick, it’s making your body produce the thing that makes you sick… A vaccine is supposed to trigger immunity. It’s not supposed to trigger you to make a toxin.
This (vaccine) is not going to stop you from getting Coronavirus. It’s not going to stop you from getting sick. In fact, on the contrary, it will make you sick far more often than the virus itself.
People are getting it more from the “vaccine?” “Yes. You will get COVID-19 symptoms from getting the gene therapy passed off as a vaccine. You will get COVID symptoms from that 80% of the time. If you’re exposed to SARS-CoV-2 according to RT-PCR, 80% of the time, you will have no symptoms at all.
What is the purpose of getting this vaccine or this gene manipulation as you call it? “The benefit is non-existent. A human being is going to be potentially exposed to unclassified, both short-term and long-term risks of altering their RNA and DNA from exposure to this gene therapy.
This (the vaccine) is not helping us. We’re being told to take a treatment for a disease we don’t have and most likely will not have. We’re being told that using careful marketing manipulation and propaganda, calling these things vaccines for public health… We’ve been primed to accept that approach. That’s the (vaccine) narrative everybody expects.
In Moderna’s own SEC filings, they make it abundantly clear that their technology is a gene therapy technology. In their clinical trial, they’ve made it abundantly clear that they could not measure the presence or absence of the virus and they could not measure the presence or the absence of the transmission of the virus. Every single thing that they represented to be doing that preys on the public understanding of what vaccination is, they explicitly said, “They’re not doing that.”
The fact of the matter is the PCR (Covid) test has never been approved as a diagnostic. It is not diagnostic. There’s nothing about taking a PCR test that does anything other than reinforce a propaganda narrative. It doesn’t tell you anything. I’ve interviewed Dr. Tom Cowan and Dr. Andy Kaufman, and they say the same thing. The person who came up with or developed the PCR test says that it’s not to be used to diagnose anything. People don’t understand that if you lift the state of emergency, the whole house of cards falls.
Talking about the taking vaccine: “I will not touch a thing and I will not allow my body to be invaded with a thing that is been developed in an unethical and illegal way. I am not going to let anybody have the opportunity to manipulate my genetic code. It’s not going to happen. If that means that it comes at a cost of a particular employer or a particular relationship or whatever else, my life happens to be worth more than that. We’ve been conditioned to fall into this trap, which is, “We might not be able to get on a plane.” So, drive.
Essentially, Dr, Marten is saying this vaccine is not a drug, it is mRNA (which is what is used to write DNA) packaged in a fat envelope to deliver a medical device into our cells that will force that cell into becoming a pathogen manufacturing site. It does this by overriding our natural genetic coding and replacing it with theirs. This vaccine produces synthetic pathogen, which they claim will then cause us to have increased immunity of a general nature. We do not get specific immunity to Covid-19. This mRNA is not a living system. It is physical technology that produces genetic changes at the cellular level.
However, of all the things Dr. Martin says, one particular line stands out, and I know because I have been saying it for the past 10 years in my Bible prophecy conferences. “I am not going to let anybody have the opportunity to manipulate my genetic code (DNA). It’s not going to happen.” When I say this, I have pastors ask me, “Why is it a problem to change our DNA?” My short answer is, “because God wrote our DNA Himself. Our DNA is what gives us our identity. Our DNA contains the encoded information that makes us look like our Father’s image. If God did not write our DNA, then God would not be our Father, but someone else would.”
The idea that the world governments have begun genetic manipulation upon the masses should trip everyone’s alarm here. It is worth repeating that for as long as I can remember, I have heard how a pandemic was the most likely explanation for the world-wide cause that made everyone give up access to their bodies and take the MOB. Now consider, I have been thinking about the MOB my whole life, and exactly what this could be. The most troubling aspect being why Jesus can’t save someone with the MOB.
The best explanation I have been able to come up with is that the MOB will not just be a physical marker, but a genetic marker. It may even have beast or animal DNA. Later, I will explain how I arrived at this conclusion. Now for the denials. Just a small bit of googling, (but I now recommend duckduckgo.com) will reveal that most sources are saying this therapy is not going to change your DNA permanently. But the fact is that it does temporarily. Usually, when I get to a trust issue I verify, but this is going to be hard in the case.
They say that the mRNA just degrades (it does come frozen for stabilization), but if that is true then how is it doing anything? RNA is what writes DNA. The fact is, if we re-sequence RNA, and then place it into a cell, we are high jacking that cell’s machinery to make it do something unnatural. Unfortunately, it does still have the potential to change our DNA permanently or leave some kinds of markers behind as we will see. After all the lies we have heard about Covid for the past 15 months, why exactly would we believe anything the mainstream media is saying now?
Other Views
Another source, Dr. Tom Cowan says based upon total mortality figures of 2020, and based upon their ability to actually isolate the Coronavirus, there is no reason to believe that there’s any actual coronavirus out there at all. For my money, something doesn’t add up. There is no way they have met Koch’s postulates (the standard for establishing the relationship between a microbe and a disease), but they are saying they can’t meet these requirements because Coronavirus is not a bacteria. I fail to see the logic.
The other problem is: if they have the virus, then why do none of the current vaccines have any attenuated (disabled) Covid virus inside of them? This could certainly explain why they are messing with our RNA instead of going the traditional route. Furthermore, if they have the virus, then why is the PCR test so unreliable with more than 80% of the positives showing no symptoms? While virtually every site is saying that they have isolated this virus many times, here is the link to “Letters to the CDC and their Responses Concerning the Existence of SARS CoV-2 Renamed SARS CoV-19” that indicates otherwise, and it includes references.
According to the “Coronavirus Misinformation Tracking Center,” neither U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stipulate that vaccines must both provide immunity and block transmission of a virus, but that is what traditional vaccines do. The problem is that are re-defining vaccines. In their rebuttal of Dr. Marten, they use CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund as their source. “There are many ways to define it, but CDC describes a vaccine as a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”
While they are saying mRNA vaccines meet this definition, the problem is that mRNA therapy does not produce specific immunity to Covid. It uses genetic material to force the body to manufacture a pathogen, which then in turn makes the person sick. Of course, this does also force the person’s body to muster an immune response, but nothing specific to Covid. Because there is no specific immunity to Covid, people still have to wear masks and keep a social distance. Of course, you can argue that there is some protection, but certainly not specific. So, this does not meet Kristen’s definition of a vaccine.
They also use the FDA’s website stating, “Vaccination stimulates the body’s immune system to build up defenses against the infectious bacteria or virus (organism) without causing the disease.” The problem is they are not stimulating the immune system. They are high jacking the machinery of your cells using mRNA to force them to manufacture a spike protein. In other words, they are making your body produce a disease, which is why 80% are symptomatic after taking the mRNA vaccines.
Specifically, the immune response happens because of the production of a genetically modified Spike protein, which makes people sick. Again, their definition says that a vaccine does not make people sick, but here we have one that is making 80% of the people sick for several days. Honestly, their description of how sick they get sounds much like what would happen if someone was to catch covid in the first place. Maybe less, after all, 80% of the people testing positive for Covid are asymptomatic.
At this point, I know of no research that is definitively saying there no potential for these changes to become part of our permanent DNA. Obviously, they are claiming that these vaccines do not change our DNA, but they seem to be lying about almost everything. Consequently, who wouldn’t have some trust issues here? At best, mRNA is in the exoplasm or exterior of the cell. We are also seeing an expansion of the term vaccine to include genetic therapy.
At the very least, we are seeing the beginnings of a new experiment being carried out on the general public. Consequently, there is no way of telling what the long-term effect may be because mRNA vaccines are still in the testing phase, which is why they are approved only for emergency use. The other question that is plaguing my mind is what is so bad about catching Covid if you are the right age and have no underlying conditions? Again, this “herd immunity” is what 55,000 doctors are recommending as the best approach. Going the natural route gives us a better chance of being symptomatic. Plus, it gives us specific immunity to Covid. Isn’t that better than what is being offered with these vaccines?
Even though Facebook will not let me post this study, as it has been proven false from their perspective, Dr. Dolores Cahill makes a great argument showing some “proven research” (which I have listed below) about how when mRNA vaccines were initially used on mice there was hypersensitivity upon future exposure to SARS-COV. When the mice were later exposed to naturally occurring Covid and beginning to mount a response, their bodies noticed that the same marker is present in each one of its cells, and began attacking them.
This creates a massive autoimmune response or “cytokines storm,” which can lead to major organ failure, and significantly increase one’s chances of death. While the cytokines storm has been documented in some Covid cases around the globe, it is being hotly contested. While they are saying the human military trials of mRNA went better than they did for the mice, I don’t find them convincing. There simply hasn’t been enough time elapsed to be conclusive about the long-term effects of mRNA vaccines. Consequently, the only way we can refute this argument is time itself. We will probably know by this time next year if vaccinated people start expressing this hyperimmune response leading to an increased risk of death.
The question is; if there was caution involved in going to human studies, then why risk it when most of us have no risk of dying from Covid, to begin with? The other connection to what we have been previously covering is that Dr. Cahill agrees that when we take this vaccine, we will now be a genetically modified human being. The reason we can say that is because our bodies do not normally manufacture foreign substances. This may all be a test to see what else they can make our bodies do. However, we have to be genetically altered to do things outside of what our DNA is encoded for. The issue then becomes whether this is genetic modification is permanent or whether it leaves some type of residual markers. Either way, I am not willing to take the chance.
PROFESSOR DOLORES CAHILL: WHY PEOPLE WILL START DYING A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST MRNA VACCINATION
This hypersensitivity to Covid because of previous vaccinations was also something that the movie “Plandemic” (https://plandemicvideo.com) alluded to. The idea was that previous vaccinations creating hypersensitivity to Covid variants, which they postulated as to why Spain and Italy were hit so hard by Covid-19. Yet, the real issue here is that I am not allowed to trust in God, and in what He did when He made my body. Trusting in God and the DNA that He wrote is simply not allowed, even though I have no personal risk of dying from Covid. I must irrationally believe I am going to die even though the evidence says otherwise.
In a way, we are being forced to both worship and capitulate with the Covid narrative even though it is false. But again, 55,000 doctors (the Great Barrington Declaration) are clearly saying that “herd immunity” is better than vaccinated immunity. In other words, these doctors are saying “trust in God” and trust in His immunity versus some other man-made vaccine. Here is a nice study showing that God’s natural immunity is better than vaccines. Vaccines do have risks and are full of other ingredients that can cause us harm. Besides, even the British Journal of Medicine admits that “No vaccine is perfectly safe.”
The horror of this harmful reality is already in play. Now we are tampering with God’s creation and the temple of the Holy Spirit as if we are God. Remember, we are being told these vaccines are safe, and yet in Israel, more youth are dying from the vaccine than from Covid. Here is what they found. Unfortunately, like anyone not saying what they want us to say, they are being silenced. Scary!
Dr. Simone Gold of americasfrontlinedoctors.com does a great job at exposing the false Covid narrative and the supposed vaccines in “The truth about the CV19 vaccine.” She believes this is a crime against humanity, and I have to agree.
Vaccination in Israel: Challenging mortality figures.
There is a mismatch between the data published by the authorities and the reality on the ground.
In January 2021, there were 3,000 records of vaccine adverse events, including 2,900 for mRNA vaccines. Compared to other years, mortality is 40 times higher.
On February 11, a Ynet article presented data related to vaccination. The authors of the Nakim article claim to have debunked this analysis based on data published by Ynet itself: “We took the data by looking at mortality during the vaccination period, which spans 5 weeks. By analyzing these data, we arrived at startling figures that attribute significant mortality to the vaccine.”
The authors say “vaccinations have caused more deaths than the coronavirus would have caused during the same period.”
Haim Yativ and Dr. Seligmann declare that for them, “this is a new Holocaust,” in the face of Israeli authority pressure to vaccinate citizens.
The authors also deplored “the fact of not being able to communicate on this vital information” to their fellow citizens.
While nothing is being talked about on TV and all the debunking sites smear anyone who says something bad happened after they took the vaccine, the CDC has not come out and admitted that there are some significant problems with this vaccine. For example, “between Dec. 14, 2020, and Feb. 26, a total of 25,212 total adverse events were reported to VAERS (Vaccine Emergency Response System), including 1,265 deaths and 4,424 serious injuries.”
“As of Feb. 26, 180 pregnant women had reported adverse reactions to COVID vaccines, including 56 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.” None of the COVID vaccines approved for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) have been tested for safety or efficacy in pregnant women. This is surprising since everyone is telling pregnant women to get vaccinated, but in this narrative, those 56 woman’s lives or their children’s lives don’t matter. Here is the source for that and some other disturbing headlines.
Because of all these complications of the vaccine, the CDC has finally been forced to put out an informed consent for everyone receiving the vaccine. This means we cannot sue the companies that are making the vaccines. Here are some of the possible contraindications of taking the vaccines.
COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies may sensitize vaccine recipients to more severe diseases than if they were not vaccinated.
Vaccines for SARS, MERS, and RSV have never been approved, and the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern.
Conclusion: The specific and significant COVID-19 risk of ADE should have been and should be prominently and independently disclosed to research subjects currently in vaccine trials, as well as those being recruited for the trials and future patients after vaccine approval, to meet the medical ethics standard of patient comprehension for informed consent.
Notice that they refer to them as a trial because the vaccine has not been approved for anything beyond emergency use. So, when did any of the commercials warn us of these contraindications? Did anyone tell us that this is still in the trial stages of development?

During the writing of the article, the J&J vaccine is now on the scene. One of the first issues was noted by: “American bishops insist the new one-shot vaccine isn’t the preferred option for Catholics since it was developed using aborted fetal stem cells from the 1970s and ’80s.” Furthermore, fetal lines were also used to test the vaccine, even though J&J denies that there is no fetal tissue in the vaccine itself. Still, “Catholics Urged to Shun Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Over Abortion Link.”
The J& J vaccine is a viral vector vaccine, which uses the genetic material of a modified version of a different virus (potentially adenovirus) to induce an immune response by instructing the body into making something similar to the spike protein. (Not sure how it does this instructing) They are saying the genetic material delivered by the viral vector does not integrate into a person’s DNA, and it cannot cause disease.
However, they do admit that this gene uses the “cell’s machinery to produce the spike protein and display it on the cell’s surface.” They also further state that some people have immunity to these vector viruses, which means they won’t work on them. Consequently, they also use some “uncommon viruses or viruses only found in other species (such as chimpanzees) as viral vectors.” This is also a similar scenario to what happened in the “Origin of Aids” movie. The bottom line is all this is so new, and there are many questions still to be answered, but it is still too early to trust what is happening in the J&J vaccine. Especially the part about what gene they are using, and how it can highjack our cells to produce a spike protein, which is a pathogen.
Regarding the mRNA in this supposed vaccine, of course, they are going to say that it dissipates, but clearly, this vaccine is changing the RNA/DNA in some of our cells temporarily. This type of treatment has been used in cancer treatment, but its goal is also closely associated with recombinant DNA therapy or rDNA. rDNA therapy is a corrective form of gene therapy for those suffering from some kind of genetic birth defect. Here is another article that admits mRNA has a direct effect on our DNA.
In the case of recombinant DNA therapy, they take two pieces of DNA or RNA and recombine them into something new. This is changing our DNA, which is already part of the goals for the super-soldier program. While there currently seems to be some technical challenges to fully changing someone’s DNA, one would have to think that there may be some breakthroughs that are already here or are coming shortly. For recombinant DNA therapy, they usually need multiple sessions over a longer period. But that is exactly, what the narrative suddenly requires.
Bill Gates: Third Shot May Be Needed to Combat Coronavirus Variants
Curiously, they are already saying this supposed vaccine may need a third session, but they also have the German, British, African, and Australian virus strains coming soon. Each of these strains will need its vaccine. In other words, they have created a long-term narrative where they are going to need access to our bodies indefinitely. The fact that it takes a series of treatments seems to indicate that these first few vaccines are only the precursors to the next one in the series. I am proposing that the last one is the Mark of the beast.
However, there is one question that I cannot answer, and it keeps my caution close my bedpost at night instead of in the wind. Exactly how much can I change my DNA and still be related to Jesus? How much can I change my DNA until I am no longer considered a human being instead of some other kind of being? This question has no answer. So, we must err on the side of caution. This is why we must resist the Covid narrative and deny the access to our bodies that they so desire.
Luciferian Technology
While we have been focusing on vaccines, there are many other options with many different potentials that may also fit into the MOB equation or the promises that Satan has made. One of the most striking is something that has been patented called “luciferase,” and it can be delivered through a micro-needling patch.
Bill Gates Vaccine Ingredient Says It All: An Enzyme Called LUCIFERASE is What Makes Bill Gates Implantable Vaccine Work
This patented enzyme is named after Lucifer, because it is bio-luminescent, which means that it gives off light when exposed to certain kinds of light. It is a way to brand us with an invisible marker that is only visible when scanned. You should see the area treated with this patch light up once it is exposed to a scanning device. Otherwise, it is invisible. Remember, we have already been told that each person will eventually be branded like any product ID. This is what agendas like the real ID2020 act are all about. Everyone will eventually have a unique identifier on or in their body.
This kind of mark would likely be the end of the cash system, as well as the end of our independence. Unfortunately, this technology is so much more than that. This patch can also implant nanotechnology, with essentially works like tiny micro-robots inside our body. Nanotechnology is kind of hard to believe, but somehow, it can fit a computer or a robot on the tip of a needle or even smaller.
Another product call hydrogel developed by DARPA is another under-the-skin nanotechnology that places microbots inside our bodies. They would have the ability to assemble, dis-assemble, gather personal information, and communicate through the cloud to artificial intelligence. They would be able to execute commands and even deliver medications. It is also completely possible that they could manipulate our genes using rDNA or mRNA. What we are also not being told is that these genetic changes could be made to be permanent.
“Like other government agencies, DARPA relies heavily on partnering with corporations to develop the products needed to advance their agenda. In this case, hydrogel is made by Profusa, who s that their goal is “pioneering tissue-integrating biosensors for continuous monitoring of body chemistries.” Their website explains how it works.”
Bombshell: Moderna Chief Medical Officer Admits MRNA Alters DNA -https://thewashingtonstandard.com/bombshell-moderna-chief-medical-officer-admits-mrna-alters-dna/
In the course of writing this article, some new information has arisen. Not only does Tal Zaks, chief medical officer of Moderna, say that this vaccine alters or recodes our RNA, but he affirms that it also alters our DNA permanently by “hacking the software of life.” Here is what he means when he says that:
When “changing” a line of code or “introducing” a line of code” (referring to DNA), the “code” or DNA is then altered, meaning the individual or “subject” has now had their genome changed to what the “scientists” have coded. The individual or subject is no longer a creation of God but a creation of man, meaning the individual or subject could be the object of a “patent.”
What did he just say? This vaccine does alter our DNA. Our old DNA was obviously written by God, but our new DNA is now written by men. Because we have been altered by man, like any other invention, we could be the subject of “patents,” which is a title of ownership This idea of a patent is something that companies like Monsanto have already proven to use legally to control the farming industry. Because they own the patent on their genetically modified seeds, everyone must pay them even if their seed happens to blow onto their land.
The fact is that this medical technology is genetically modifying the recipient with codes specific to each company (much like Monsanto’s patented genetically modified seed) could allow them to push for a patent of human beings. This should sound the alarm for everyone, especially Christians who claim to belong to Christ. But that was not the only scary thing that was said.
Not only does Tal Zaks agree with our premise that God wrote our DNA, but he also maintains that after we take the vaccine, we are a new creation of man and not God. He also believes arguments can be made to “patent” us, which is the idea of a legal title or ownership. If secular courts can make these arguments about who is our true creator and who has ownership of us, then don’t you think that Satan could also do the same thing. For myself, scarier words have not been spoken in quite some time. The study Tal Zaks cites is below.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28457665/
For the record, I am not fully convinced that the DNA in our chromosomes is being altered by these vaccines, but these new lines of thinking make it seem more possible than it is. What we can say for sure is that our RNA is being overwritten with new man-made code. Since RNA is a genetic component, we can say that these vaccines are overwriting some of our genetic codes, which means they are genetic therapy.
I also do not buy into Tal Zaks argument completely that changing one line of coding in our RNA or DNA will cause us to stop being a creation of God. In the same way that putting aftermarket wheels on our new Ford does not stop it from being a Ford. Consequently, we cannot argue that these vaccines could cause us to lose our salvation. But there is a point where a manufacturer no longer recognizes a car or truck as still being one of its own because it has been so heavily modified.
I do not know what that point is, but I believe that a tipping point exists. As we will see in the next article, I also believe that genetic modifications explain much of the mystery concerning the MOB, which is why I believe these vaccines represent the precursor to the MOB. In other words, many more modifications are coming. This is just the first one.
Another line of reasoning I have recently pursued is the idea of how manufacturer warranties work. This is important because many aftermarket upgrades, such as a supercharger, void a car’s warranty. The issue of warranty may be the illustration that is the most applicable to what we are talking about here. Why do I say that? In life, Jesus is our warranty, and we do not want to do anything that somehow may void His claims to our lives. This is why, no matter how you look at the situation, changing our RNA or potentially changing our DNA is the world’s most dangerous idea.
The last thing I will say is that it would be a mistake to think that this vaccine is doing nothing. It seems likely that this type of genetic therapy could leave behind some kind of code or marker that might be responsible for the cytokine storm or hypersensitivity reaction that occurred in mice when exposed to natural occurring Covid’s later. Consequently, each of us must make our own decision. However, as Christians, we cannot tolerate mandates. Besides, after all the lies we have been told, why would I just accept this latest narrative? But I have to acknowledge my trust issues with anything man-made, and I feel that I have made a good case for my reasons.
The World’s Most Dangerous Agenda
By now some of you are starting to think that I have either lost my mind or that I am grasping at straws. However, I am not alone in my concerns over genetic changes that are being made to the human race. The best way to illustrate this concern would be to ask a question that was first asked back in 2004. “What is the world’s most dangerous idea?” According to Francis Fukuyama, a Nobel peace prize-winning scientist and non-Christian, it is changing our DNA.
Why? Changing our DNA would irreparably change who we are. Even more unfortunate, changing the DNA of a few people would change the DNA of the entire human race within 4-5 generations. At that point, none of the people that God created would be left. This is yet another reason why we are seeing a convergence of modern technology and Bible prophecy that is getting harder to ignore. Next week we will further explore just what the implications of trans-humanism are and why it is “the world’s most dangerous idea.”
But understanding just how important our DNA is to maintaining our humanity is difficult to fathom. Consequently, of all the freedoms that have been lost since 2020, rights to our bodies could be the greatest one of them all. The problem is that with any freedoms that we give our government, they never give them back. So, tread carefully on the hallowed ground we now find ourselves on.
An Issue of Trust
But before we go, we have to ask ourselves a question. Who do we trust for our health, wealth, and well-being? The problem is that there have been so many lies propagated by our society since the advent of 2020 that it is difficult to even count them all. Why would we now believe this final narrative or vaccine is our salvation? Especially when this vaccine would more appropriately be called genetic therapy. Yet, some churches are doing vaccination drives or even letting the state come to their church and administer the vaccines for everyone there.
I get that we want to be helpful good citizens, but I struggle with how could this be the case. How can a pastor not be fully researching what He is recommending to his people? Is that not the blind leading the blind. If all lies are of Satan, and if the true church is to survive, we must realize that our society has become completely untethered from our Christian heritage. Evil is taking control. Not only is tribulation and the beast government coming, but we are fast approaching the point where the only thing we can trust is the Lord and His word, “Trust (only) in the Lord and lean not on our own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)
If God is the God of our lives, then we can trust in what the Bible says over the Covid drama that has swallowed this nation whole. Now is the time to stand up and say that we can never give access to our bodies to any government. God wrote our genetic material and we will not let anyone change it. Our bodies are His temple and His spirit will protect us naturally from this supposed disease. You don’t have to be a Christian to doubt the Covid narrative. Again, 55,000 doctors feel that we will all obtain natural “herd immunity” just fine. So, now is the time to let the light shine on a different narrative to all that will hear.
One that puts God on His throne, so that we will no longer be “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” We will let people back into the church. We will be the rock upon which God builds His kingdom, instead of a stepping stone towards Satan’s final agenda. May God prick our hearts, and may the church begin to wake up, because the time is getting short. Jesus is coming soon.

Why is the church important? The church is where the friends of Jesus meet and grow. It is a hospital for those who admit they are sick and who want to get better. The church is not a building or an organization, it is just people. The church is also part of your spiritual family. Does anyone you know have a perfect family? Good, because that won’t happen in church either. You won’t like all the people there, but you will grow to love many of them. You may have to visit around some to find the right church for you, but if you work at it, you will be better for it. My church friends are one of my greatest sources or encouragement and joy.

February 26, 2021 is the Feast of Purim which is a celebration of what God did for His people Israel and is recorded in the Book of Esther.
The Book of Esther begins by telling us that Queen Vashti refused to go to the King’s Palace to be paraded before a crowd of drunken men. The King was so mad at her that Vashti was not allowed to ever come into the presence of the King again, and her royal position (of being the Queen) was to be given to another woman “who is more worthy than she.”
A Beauty Pageant was planned to find a new bride for the King, and a new Queen for the land. In preparation for the Beauty Pageant Hegai was placed in charge of the women who entered the Beauty Pageant. Right away Esther pleased Hegai and found favor with him so he quickly provided her with cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice female attendants from the king’s palace, and a VIP Pass that allowed her to go to the best place in the harem. Esther received favor from Hegai which enabled her to enjoy benefits that other ladies did not have. This preferential treatment made it possible for her to win the Beauty Pageant and become the Queen.
In the future Haman plotted to kill all the Jewish people. No one in the Palace knew that Esther was Jewish, but if anyone found out, her life would be at risk as well. Mordecai (Esther’s cousin) told her she needed to ask her husband (the King) for help and protection. Esther realized that she needed the King’s help, but no person could go to the king in the inner courtyard, if they were not summoned. If someone walked into his courtyard, he or she would be put to death; and this included his wife, Queen Esther. But fortunately there was one way to avoid death. If the king extended the golden scepter that person would live.
Esther knew the urgency and importance of the moment so she had Mordecai get all the Jews in Susa to fast with her for three days. After the three days of fasting (which probably included prayer as well) Esther would visit her husband.
When Esther entered the courtyard the king extended the golden scepter to her so that she could live. She obtained favor, or a VIP Pass to join the King in his courtyard. Esther then asked the King if she could hold a private banquet for the two of them and Haman.
While at the banquet Queen Esther said to the King, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my request, and my people as my wish; for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and eliminated [by this man Haman].”
Once again Esther received favor, or a VIP Pass from the King. This special act of kindness allowed her, and all the Jewish people to live. Most of us will never receive a VIP Pass to enter the Royal Palace, but we all will have times that we need to receive favor to accomplish a specific task, and possibly to keep our life.
God is no respecter of persons; everyone who belongs to Him is His favorite. God is also the same yesterday, today and forever. He gave Esther VIP Passes when she needed them, and He will offer favor to you as well. Stay close to God, and when the need arises, ask God for your VIP Pass.

There is an elephant in the room and the church is refusing to talk about it. However, if we do not address it soon, the church will become increasingly irrelevant because we are failing to talk about what really matters. Of course, most of us would like to go back to pretending that things will return to normal, but this is unlikely to be the case because, whether we like it or not, there is a hard decision that is coming. A fork in the road that may forever change our fate and our destiny. This decision is about whether to take the Covid vaccine or not.
Unfortunately, our entire society has been held hostage for almost a year due to the COVID-19 narrative. Now we are being told that things cannot go back to normal unless we are all vaccinated. Yet, the COVID-19 narrative and agenda are false with respect to being different than the flu and associated pneumonia. This deception is exactly what we covered in our two-part article entitled, “Only COVID-19 Lives Matter.” To fully understand the deception, we cannot compare COVID-19 to only the flu or pneumonia. That is because the flu and pneumonia are inseparable. Consequently, they are the perfect candidates for comparison. In fact, even the CDC no longer differentiates between COVID-19, influenza, and pneumonia.
Since our last article, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US-CDC), the World Health Organization, and global health partners have increased the number of annual deaths associated due to respiratory diseases such as seasonal influenza/flu up to 650,000. This marks an increase on the previous global estimate of 250 000 – 500 000, which dates from over ten years ago and covered all influenza-related deaths, including cardiovascular disease or diabetes. The new figures of 290 000 – 650 000 deaths are based on more recent data from a larger, more diverse group of countries, including lower-middle-income countries, and exclude deaths from non-respiratory diseases
• (https://www.who.int/news/item/13-12-2017-up-to-650-000-people-die-of-respiratory-diseases-linked-to-seasonal-flu-each-year)
When we combine these new figures with the deaths from pneumonia in years like the 2017-2018 flu season, which was 2.54 million, the total death count from the flu and pneumonia is approximately 3.1 million people. In comparison to COVID-19 (as of February 2nd, 2021) worldometers.info says 2.3 million people have died of Covid-19. Not only did the flu and pneumonia kill more people, but it also happened in a significantly shorter period of time. After all, Covid has been around now for over a year, while the flu season usually lasts 6-8 months. Ironically, in the 2017-2018 flu season, we never shut down the world, gave 24/7 TV coverage, wore masks, or did anything significantly different.
• (source: https://ourworldindata.org/pneumonia)
• https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2017/p1213-flu-death-estimate.html
The final nail in the coffin for the fallacy of the Covid narrative came when John’s Hopkins critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the CDC. “Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups… In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.”
We have been hearing for quite some time that the 2020 death rate remained the same when compared to the previous year. However, now that the death rate of the “at-risk group” has remained the same, we can definitively say that there was no pandemic. Is Covid-19 real? Yes, but is it statistically different than the flu and pneumonia. No, it isn’t. Now let that sink in.
Not only are the COVID-19 deaths not statistically different than other flu/pneumonia seasons, but the tests for COVID-19 are also inaccurate. For example, the RT-PCR test being used for Covid-19 is non-specific and cannot differentiate between an active and an inactive virus. The RT-PCR test is also unable to tell between other RNA viruses such as the flu. More on this later.
Interestingly, the WHO or World Health Organization (AKA – The privately-owned for-profit company controlled by Bill Gates) changed the guidelines on COVID-19 testing one hour after President Biden was elected. Now they require two positive tests and a clinical diagnosis. What does this admit about the accuracy of the test? What will having two positive tests correlated with an actual clinical exam do to the total number of COVID-19 infections? I believe that with these changes COVID-19 could literally go away.
• Link: https://rairfoundation.com/pandemic-numbers-faked-to-blame-trump-the-who-changes-guidelines-on-covid-tests-an-hour-after-biden-inauguration/
Now, let’s ask ourselves some serious questions. If the COVID-19 test is flawed and shows false positives for many of the other Covid’s, then how do we know how many people actually have it? If health insurance companies gave significantly more money for a COVID-19 diagnosis and hospitals retooled their entire billing department to take advantage of COVID-19 money, then what do you think that did to the over-all COVID-19 numbers. Even the CDC director admitted that the COVID-19 numbers were increased because of financial incentives. (See the last article)
All of this has led me to the inextricable conclusion that the COVID-19 narrative is completely false (to the point of being manufactured) with respect to being statistically different than the flu and pneumonia. Now the question is who is in on it. If Joe Biden, Donald Trump, every conservative, every liberal, every TV station, every news source, every internet company, every health insurance company, every hospital, and every internet search engine is complicit with the Covid narrative, then what are we up against? Are you starting to get the picture? My only conclusion, in times like these, the Bible is our only source of absolute truth!
Still, it is the COVID-19 narrative that overturned an incumbent president, forcible closed our churches and schools, allowed for mail-in ballots, added 7 trillion-plus to the national debt, divided our people, and destroyed the greatest economy the USA had ever seen. Most importantly, COVID-19 has significantly damaged the church and the faith of those who were attending. Like it or not, COVID-19 is dividing the church and people are questioning their faith more than ever before.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 narrative has also produced legislation that has destroyed many of our religious freedoms in this country. In unprecedented fashion, churches and even home Bible studies were shut down, and citizens were fined if they attended. Churches in California had to declare themselves temporary “strip clubs” because strip clubs were considered essential and they were not. In Covid times, God and our faith are not essential?
Yet, God did not leave us without a warning to be on guard for a massive deception that is to be played out upon us all in the end times. In fact, the Bible says that a delusion is coming that is so powerful and so persuasive, that if it was possible, it would deceive the very elect of God’s children.
• The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-11, but read the whole chapter.)
• For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:24
The COVID-19 narrative has put churches and ministers in a difficult place because of the political pressure associated with defying the COVID-19 agendas. It has divided the church in many ways. Unfortunately, some people are true believers in the COVID-19 narrative. Unfortunately, we can’t even talk to some people about this without triggering some kind of overreaction. Still, many people have walked out of the church and they may never come back.
The disinformation warfare surrounding the Covid narrative has created a fear of bringing up what is boiling under the surface for all of us. I pray for our ministers who are trying to speak the truth in love, while still trying to be the peacemakers. Big churches are especially at risk because most people are still worried about gathering in big groups.
My admonition for those of you who are called to be a pastor or in ministry is to tell you that you were born for a time like this. More importantly, you are called to fight for the minds and hearts of God’s children, and this means we can’t remain neutral any longer. The wolf is leading the sheep astray as we speak.
The COVID-19 Agenda
Like any deception, the COVID-19 agenda has predictably followed the rules of performing magic. A magician always distracts us with his one hand, when he is doing all the real work of deception with the other hand. The fact that everyone is in on the Covid narrative tells us that Covid-19 (not all of the other political and social issues most of us are ranting about) is what is accomplishing Satan’s real agenda. We can no longer be fooled by this good cop and bad cop routine. We must fight what has been dividing and destroying our freedoms since the founding of our country.
America is important in one sense because America is the biggest obstacle to a one-world government that the Bible says is coming. The way to destroy any country is to divide the people and to destroy their financial resources. The financial part of this agenda was laid out by the World Economic Forum in their plan for the Great Reset. Letting no crisis go to waste the plan is to reset the world economies for sustainability. This will specifically weaken the economic power of America.

In “Only Covid Lives Matter,” I mentioned two tried and true ways of manipulating whole societies. One is “order out of chaos,” and the other is an application of the Hegelian Dialectic. Each of them involves actively creating a problem that allows for the implementation of their solution to accomplish their true goals, which is control. Unfortunately, fear is Covid’s only prescription, but in Christ, we are told that “perfect love casts out fear.” This is important because we have officially entered a time when other “men’s hearts are failing them for fear.” (1 John 4:18 & Luke 21:26) Now is the time to let the world know the hope that still lies within us.
Disinformation & Desensitization
Since the advent of COVID-19, look at how people have been dehumanized and desensitized just by becoming masked entities instead of people full of joy and wearing contagious smiles. The Covid narrative is purposely trying to destroy our personal social network and familial ties to isolate us leaving us with nothing but our TV set. With Covid, we cannot afford to get too close to anyone. Suddenly, everyone needs their personal space and people will let you know it. We are told to have a virtual Thanksgiving and give virtual high-fives. Do not meet in person, and do not go on vacation. This is all intentional. Every day is an all-out assault on our sensibilities and on our reason.
This is why the practice of disinformation, or the art of telling lies, remains the number one way to disrupt and control entire societies. Remember, Satan is the father of lies. Now, these lies are being played out on us right here at home. For example, CNN has a Covid score sheet on its main screen much of the time. We are simply not allowed to stop thinking about Covid 24/7. We are still forced to wear masks, even though they do not work. Whether we like it or not, we are being forced to capitulate with the narrative.
Surprisingly, a simple thing like a mask is dividing us as we speak. Why? Because people do not know who to believe. They trust what is on TV more than they trust 55,000 doctors or the CDC. For some, the panic is palpable. People are living with so much fear that they feel like they must do something even though it does not work. I can show someone the research revealing that the mask they are wearing is only able to filter something 800 times bigger than this virus, but they usually just clutch it more tightly or they just get mad.
• Previously referenced in “Only Covid Lives Matter,” based on an article by the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons.
Shockingly, there are no face masks on the market that can filter something this small. Then, in mind-numbing dribble, Dr. Fauci comes out and tells us to wear three of them, and then only to change his mind within a week. To date, there is no peer-reviewed research that supports the effectiveness of wearing a mask to prevent COVID-19, and yet, we are forced to capitulate with the lies. How rude or ignorant we are made to feel if we dare question such things.
But questioning the mask mandate reveals the opposite. Masks are not effective in reducing the contamination of influenza. The following is a quote from the article listed below found in the British Medical Journal.
• “A systematic review published on 6 April 2020 examined whether wearing a face mask or other barrier (goggles, shield, veil) prevents transmission of respiratory illness such as coronavirus, rhinovirus, tuberculosis, or influenza. It identified 31 eligible studies, including 12 randomized controlled trials. The authors found that overall, mask-wearing both in general and by infected members within households seemed to produce small but statistically non-significant reductions in infection rates. The authors concluded that “The evidence is not sufficiently strong to support the widespread use of facemasks as a protective measure against covid-19…”
• https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1435
In the same article, they also reviewed non-pharmaceutical measures for the prevention of influenza. They identified 10 randomized controlled trials published between 1946 and 2018 that tested the efficacy of face masks for preventing laboratory-confirmed influenza. This “pooled meta-analysis found no significant reduction in influenza transmission. They also identified seven studies conducted in households: four provided masks for all household members, one for the sick member-only, and two for household contacts only. None showed a significant reduction in laboratory-confirmed influenza in the face mask arm.”
While the article was still recommending caution, the authors of the research they were referencing concluded: “randomized controlled trials of [face masks] did not support a substantial effect on the transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.” It is research like this that was used by the Canadian nurses’ union to win their dispute with the hospitals that were requiring them to both vaccinate and wear masks. This is also why virtually no one was recommending the use of masks when Covid first started. Precedent had already been set. Masks don’t work.

The Covid-19 PCR Test
The Covid test itself is also part of the disinformation warfare that they are using. This is how they have changed the narrative from the number of deaths to the number of cases. There was suspicion back in May of 2020 that the CDC numbers regarding the number of persons dying from COVID-19 were skewed for financial reasons. (see the last article) Since the beginning of the Pandemic hospitals were instructed to count all deaths suspected of Covid-19 whether they had tested positive or not.
In fact, hospitals were given financial incentives for the diagnosis of Covid-19 patients (approximately $13,000 per diagnosis), and, if the patient had to be intubated, there was a $40,000 per patient payment. Most of these patients were diagnosed via the symptoms they presented with and some were diagnosed utilizing the Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain reaction test or RT-PCR. This test was developed by Kary Mullis back in 1983 while working at Cetus Corporation. The test effectively takes a small part of DNA and amplifies it through thermal cycles for identification. This amplification is fundamental in genetic testing for both biomedical research and criminal forensics.
However, most experts state the cycling should not exceed 30 cycles otherwise false identification can occur. How does this apply to COVID-19, more specially SARs CV-2 testing? Since the virus is an RNA virus, they were cycling upwards of 35-40 cycles effectively giving a 70%-90% false-positive identification. Too many cycles make the testing procedure ineffective. The other problem with the test is it cannot differentiate between a live virus and an attenuated (non-infectious) virus. This is how they have effectively INCREASED the CASE NUMBERS to drive the Pandemic narrative.
Yet, knowing the truth always sets us free. Truth is the only way to see through the stream of disinformation, the veil of chaos, and the mask mandates. Truth exposes the larger COVID-19 agenda, which is to divide and destroy America the same way the Russians divided their country between the haves and the have not’s. Racial division and financial ruin are also a major part of this agenda. Yet, I have now come to believe that there is an even greater agenda that has finally been revealed. Enter the Covid vaccine, which will soon be mandatory!
The Covid Vaccine
While I am constantly asked if I am taking the vaccine, most of us have never heard any kind of actual discussion about it. That is because the magician has been distracting us with all of the other drama going on in our society with his off-hand. Vaccines also have a staunch history in this country and most of us are accustomed to their mandatory nature. However, the first question any of us should ask ourselves is if we are at risk of dying from Covid. If you are not aware of your risk level, we covered some of the co-morbidities or pre-existing conditions that make us at risk in “Only Covid Lives Matter.”
For most of us, if we have no risk of dying, then why would we be worried about getting sick for a few days. Besides, many epidemiologists and doctors regard these kinds of common illnesses as essential to the development of a healthy immune system. Do not believe it! Check out the “The Great Barrington Declaration,” these are the 55,000 doctors and scientists that I previously referred to that are recommending that we open our society back up. This includes letting the people who are not at risk catch COVID-19 because we will obtain herd immunity in a shorter period of time.
This approach will allow Covid to pass through our society much quicker. Plus, we will not have to protect the at-risk population for as long. In the end, fewer people will end up dying this way. Again, 55,000 of the world’s most educated people are providing a completely different narrative than what is being propagated by the news media and our government. Instead, Dr. Fauci has been their man and he has never used one peer-reviewed article for any of his opinions.
Here are some other facts to consider about taking the Covid vaccine. First, this is an experimental vaccine. It has not even been approved by the FDA for regular usage, because it does not meet the FDA’s rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, the description of the vaccine says that it is for “emergency use.” This actually happened through an executive order. The emergency designation only happens when testing facilities allow shots to be given to certain people while studies of safety and effectiveness are still ongoing. In other words, safety and effectiveness are still up in the air – i.e., experimental.
• FDA does not approve Covid vaccine – https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/covid-19-vaccines
Furthermore, the vaccine does not protect you from catching Covid nor does it prevent you from spreading Covid. According to the research trials, the vaccine only is effective in reducing the symptoms of Covid if you are infected. That is why they are stating that even if you are vaccinated you will still need to continue to wear a mask and social distance.

Fetal Tissue
Fetal tissue is also a big issue when it comes to vaccines. Yet, most people are surprised that vaccines typically have any fetal tissue in them at all. Obviously, this is a huge issue for us as Christians and one we need to continue to take before the court of public opinion. One of the reasons I believe we should do this is not just that it is the only moral path forward, but because most people are clearly sympathetic to the plight of the unborn child.
• CDC admits that vaccines have fetal tissue: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2020/phdata/tmy/2020HB-05044-R000219-Wrinn%2015,%20Chris-TMY.PDF
Unfortunately, some articles will deny the use of fetal tissue in vaccines. The worst one I found asks the question and then tells us that it is a big no. Then the next line admits that vaccines use fetal tissue that is 60 years old. Now, how is 60-year-old fetal tissue not still fetal tissue? They also go on to say that this fetal tissue was legally and electively aborted in the early 1960s. Do you see the denial? This is why one of the greatest strategies for us as Christians to break the deception is to continue to represent the interest of “all lives.” “For God so loved the whole world…” Plain and simple.
While I do not want to get sidetracked on abortion, I do want to give enough pause to list why I believe this is a crucial issue. First, child sacrifice was clearly a part of the worship of false pagan gods. When Stevie Nicks, not to single her out, tells us that if she hadn’t had her abortions, then we wouldn’t have had Fleetwood Mac. What that tells me is that Stevie worships the false gods of money, fame, and career. They are more important than children, and this is exactly how we have parented our generation.
Second, we have politicians who are throwing parties and lighting up buildings in NY city to celebrate the ability to kill an infant the day before their due date. This is one of the most horrifying things I can imagine. They also support partial-birth abortions, which are the most barbaric thing still done on the planet. I don’t know anyone who could actually sit through watching the procedure, let alone perform one. There really are monsters among us. All of this makes me believe that a crystal-clear line has been crossed and consciousness about such evil has been permanently seared.
At the very least, a new holocaust is taking place on our watch. Now they want to make abortion part of national health care to make us all accomplices. The question now becomes how can God not judge us for it. Furthermore, according to the CDC, there were 619,591 abortions in the United States in 2018, that is 11,915 abortions per week! How can anyone claim to care about 2000-3000 people dying per week from Covid when nearly 5 times as many lives are being taken through abortions? Have they suddenly become pro-life or is it that only certain lives matter? Could it be that their political agenda is designed to relieve us of our liberties?
The next question is why is it a problem to inject fetal tissue into our bodies? Hang with me for a second. The Passover is one of the most important festivals in the Bible because it was part of the Old Testament plan of salvation. Part of the Passover involved killing a lamb and applying its blood to the doorpost of your house so that the angel of death would Passover. Later, when Jesus met John the Baptist, he exclaimed, “behold the Lamb of God.”
Then, at the Passover supper, Jesus takes communion with His disciples. Jesus breaks the bread and passes around the wine and asks them to eat. By doing this, they are symbolically applying the body and the blood of Christ to their lives. So, what is happening when we take actual fetal tissue into our bodies? How are we not participating in some kind of unholy communion? This means that we have literally taken some of these slain infants’ blood and body into our bodies. If the “blood of the Lamb” contains testimony that overcomes all of our accusations, does not the blood of this slain child also carry testimony? (See Revelations 12:11)) So, in some sense, we became an accomplice and a participant in the shedding of this child’s innocent life.
We could also say that we were marked because something was physically applied to our lives. If it is the testimony of the blood of the lamb that we must apply to our lives, then how is this not the opposite. Remember the Catholics believe that when they take communion it literally becomes the blood and body of Jesus Christ. Shockingly, this too is literally the blood and body of a cloned fetus from the 1960s.
How does any of this apply to the Covid vaccine in particular? Back in June of 2020, I was reading about the vaccines, and they were reported as having fetal tissue. However, more recent research is saying the Covid vaccines do not actually contain fetal tissue. Of course, this is a relief. However, while Pfizer and Moderna claim there are no actual fetal cells in the vaccine, they did use fetal tissue in testing the vaccines.
These are called fetal cell lines, and they don’t consider them to be fetal tissue. They consider them to be immortalized cells, which just means they are using cloned fetal tissue. For myself, it is a relief that the vaccine does not have actual fetal tissue inside it. However, they are still using fetal tissue to their benefit, and that is more than enough to say no for many of us.
We will continue this article and post an explosive look at how the Covid Vaccine and the Mark of the Beast are related. It promises to be eye-opening, thought-provoking, and in line with the prophetic warnings of the “End Times.”
The CDC Changed the Rules
Dr. Andrew Kaufman explains how the CDC, after more than 50 years, suddenly changed the rules about how a death certificate was filled out. This happened as soon as Covid was declared a public health crisis. The CDC did this by issuing a guidance change. Specifically, they were told that if there was a suspicion of Covid, then you should put Covid as the cause of death. In other words, all they needed was suspicion to create this whole mess. Suspicion alone would not normally be something that they would use to determine a cause of death.
“The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to death certifiers on proper cause-of-death certification for cases where confirmed or suspected COVID–19 infection resulted in death.” – https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/vsrg/vsrg03-508.pdf
The other major change that was made had to do with giving an immediate Covid diagnosis preference over obvious underlying conditions. This change alone has allowed them to perpetuate the idea that normal healthy people are dying of Covid, but this is not the case. Normally, if someone has cancer as the underlying condition, you do not say they died of an infection, the flu, or cold because normal people do not die of these things even though they are the immediate condition.
The immediate cause of death, which is the disease or condition that directly preceded death and is not necessarily the underlying cause of death (UCOD), should be reported on line a. (Source: same as above)
Heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death in America for a reason. But taking these changes too far could certainly wipe out cancer and heart disease. Another strange change was that they prevented autopsies of Covid deaths. Now, just in case you were wondering, they did still keep track of comorbidities or underlying conditions. This is why we can still somewhat see what would have happened if they hadn’t changed anything. This old analysis versus the new analysis is why the CDC later admitted that 94% of the people that died of Covid had other comorbidities, which means that only 6% of the deaths were due to only Covid and no other conditions.
Depending on which analysis they used is why we see some of the change in the CDC numbers. In this case, the CDC is being truthful, so that we can see the way it would have been if they hadn’t change the rules. So, why did they change the rules and their analysis just for Covid? The fact remains that if they hadn’t changed the rules about how to fill out a death certificate, then they would have never been able to produce sufficient deaths to declare a pandemic to the public.
Without these changes, we could be looking at something around 30,000 total Covid only deaths. Not something that would have changed the world. The other reason why the numbers for Covid are increased was because of the significant financial incentives offered for a Covid diagnosis compared to other similar conditions or treatments. Again, the CDC director admitted this was also happening. (see our last article, “Only Covid Lives Matter”)
Again, from their counter perspective, they believe the data doesn’t indicate that 94% of deaths were caused by other conditions, but rather, that 94% of people who died from COVID-19 had at least one other health condition when they died. But the truth is they changed the rules and that probably means that Covid caused closer to 6% of deaths than the 100% they are claiming as the real amount.

Dr. O’Hara had been a ringside physician for amateur MMA from 2009 through 2015 having worked hundreds of hours evaluating fighters before and after fights.
Dr. O’Hara’s continued passion for chiropractic drives his desire to help educate the public on the importance of spinal health and overall wellness.
Dr. Kevan Kruse has been practicing Chiropractic in the Bay area since 1992. Educated at the University of Tampa and Life University, Kevan received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Doctorate of Chiropractic. Kevan was born in Florida, but he was raised with down to earth Midwestern values. These values translate into an office that is dedicated to serving patients in a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. Each patient is evaluated on an individual basis and treated appropriately.
Dr. Kruse is also open to multi-disciplinary approaches to health care, with his focus being primarily chiropractic and nutritional ways to help solve health problems. His fascination and extensive participation in sports makes his treatment of automobile accidents, work related injuries and sports injuries especially on-target. Dr. Kruse is married to Alexandra and they have two sons named Wiatte and Whestan. Dr. Kruse supports many local charities and attends Bell Shoals Baptist church, where he occasionally teaches classes on various topics.
Why is the church important? The church is where the friends of Jesus meet and grow. It is a hospital for those who admit they are sick and who want to get better. The church is not a building or an organization, it is just people. The church is also part of your spiritual family. Does anyone you know have a perfect family? Good, because that won’t happen in church either. You won’t like all the people there, but you will grow to love many of them. You may have to visit around some to find the right church for you, but if you work at it, you will be better for it. My church friends are one of my greatest sources or encouragement and joy.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
—Revelation 1:8
***
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
—Genesis 1:1–2
***
Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers;
that they do not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with Watchers.
—Isaiah 14:21
***
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
—Revelation 20:4
The universe has always been planned. From beginning to ending, the Creator of all has known precisely what He would do, and when He would do it. And that even goes for the existence of sin, death, and resurrection. He’s foreseen rebellion, warfare, paganism, child abuse, thefts, and every dark thing done in every darkened place since the beginning of time itself. He is all-knowing, yet all-loving. He is the Father who stands at the end of the lane, watching for the return of His prodigal son. And you, dear reader—you are part of His wonderful plan. Each of us has a place in His design, and as of this moment, you’re reading this from a battlefield. Why, you ask? Because, the Lord of Hosts (Armies) has been marching to war since Genesis. That’s when the war started, and Revelation is when it ends. And it’s all about life and death.
The first action recorded in this ongoing war commenced just prior to Genesis 1:2. We cannot know for certain what happened, but a rebellion of some kind can be presumed. It is called the chaoskampf by scholars, and it’s a theme repeated throughout all civilizations and all cosmogonies.
The term is composed of two words: chaos and kampf. The first is Greek and refers to a state of disorder but also to a primordial god known as Chaos. Kampf is German for “war” or “struggle.”
Nearly every civilization has a mythology within its cosmogony that describes the subduing of a primordial “dragon.” The hero in these tales is the storm-god, and the villain is the monstrous god (sometimes goddess) of the sea:
Zeus subduing Typhon
Marduk destroying Tiamat
Baal clubbing Yam
Yahweh versus Leviathan
Thor taking out Jömungandr
Tarhunz defeating Illuyanka
Indra against Vritra
Yamata versus No Orochi (Japanese)
In all of these tales, the conquering hero uses a mace, a club, an ax, or another weapon to subdue the beast, but in the true version of events, YHWH only spoke. He then sealed the primordial dragon beneath the waves of the sea and placed His Holy Spirit upon it.
But if that was phase one of this long war, what comes next? In the Old Testament, we see YHWH again and again using the wiles of the enemy against them, turning their rituals on their heads as a means to foil their plots, and in the New Testament, Christ takes a claim made by the mighty men of old, the spirits of the Nephilim, those called the Rephaim, shades of the dead. These long-dead princes plan to rise again, when their leader calls them to life. It will take them three days to arrive, according to the ritual texts. Three days? It’s no coincidence that our Savior rose three days after the infernal realm killed Him.
We who watch for His return expect our Lord to set the world to rights, but the Fallen believe once again (foolishly) that they can circumvent that arrival by raising up their own army.
An army of the dead. It will be the ultimate zombie apocalypse, and these infernal demonic spirits will try to use humans as shields against the Almighty.
***
Human history began in a garden. Many of the myths and legends told by bards, storytellers, shamans, and priests through the ages originated with a dim, shared memory of a lost paradise. Much of the blood, sweat, and tears shed by mankind over the millennia has been in the service of gods who promised our ancestors a path back to that paradise.
The concept of “garden” has changed over time. Today, we think of a pleasant patch of earth for flowers, vegetables, fruit, or maybe herbs we can pick to spice up our cooking. It wasn’t that way in the beginning.
To really understand what God communicated through His prophets and apostles, we need to get inside the heads of the men who wrote the books of the Bible. Sadly, most of us don’t make much of an effort; it’s easier to read ourselves into the Bible than to put ourselves into the minds of people who lived two or three thousand years ago on the other side of the world. While it’s uplifting to read the story of, say, David and Goliath as a symbol for how God empowers us to slay the “giants” in our lives, it’s also a historic account of how David defeated the champion of an elite cult of pagan warriors who worshiped the dead.
Reading the Bible with the worldview of the ancient Hebrews takes a little work, but it’s worth it. The payoff is seeing the stories we’ve known since Sunday school through new eyes, almost as children reading them for the first time. It will bring a level of excitement to your study of God’s Word you haven’t felt in years, if ever, and it will instill a deep appreciation for what’s at stake in this long, supernatural war, and for God’s sacrifice to get you off the battlefield in one piece—and bring you back to where it all began—Eden.
The original garden wasn’t what we think of when we hear the word, and neither were the gardens in the days of the Hebrew prophets and apostles. There is a spiritual sense to the word that’s been lost over the years. Archaeologists who specialize in the ancient Near East—the lands we now call Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq—have known this for some time. They know many things that haven’t been passed along to us in the pews, either because they don’t see the information through a biblical lens or because there just isn’t much interaction between professional scholars and us lay people.
We will dig deeper into this concept as we unpack the importance of the dead in the ancient world. Gardens held a special place in the culture of the ancient Near East, and it was part of a very different way of looking at the world. This wasn’t just because they lacked modern conveniences, our understanding of the sciences, and access to the Internet, but because they understood that the spirit realm was part of daily life—something we’ve lost in the modern world, especially in the West. Part and parcel of their reality was interacting with the dead.
The dead were gone only in the physical sense. It was understood that those who’d gone before had moved on to a different type of existence. It wasn’t necessarily enjoyable, and one’s happiness in the afterlife depended on his or her descendants performing the correct rituals every month.
The exception was the dead kings of old. They held a place of esteem in the afterlife, and the pagan kings of the ancient Near East aspired to join the ranks of their venerated fathers who could still affect the world of the living. To that end, special rituals were performed at special locations—and that brings us back to gardens.
This will make more sense as we dig into the beliefs and practices of the neighbors of ancient Israel. The significance of the cults of the dead will become clear, and you’ll see that the venerated dead are prophesied to play a role at Armageddon. The mother of all battles will be fought at the end of human history outside the walls around the Garden of God.
And the enemy host at the gates will literally be an army of the evil dead.
