The Broken Wall, Nehemiah, & The Lion

1 Peter 5. 8 “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” But how do you recognize The Devil when he is invisible? Lies. John 8:44:… He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. The wall separating truth and lies in health and science is broken. The Devil’s lies are now entrenched in the church. The wall of truth that kept the lies on the outside is broken. The Lion- the Devil- is freely roaming about inside the church destroying our faith, our lives and our church. Watch this video series to identify those lies. Start rebuilding the wall now! God will send people only to a church that has rebuilt that wall Video #1 In our Post-Christian era why do we think we are being told the truth? Video #1 explains how power now establishes what is truth and what is lies. Not actual truth. Video #2 Censored- The 4 Ways Trusted Medical Authorities Censor Medical Truth I suggest you watch this documentary 2nd in this series because until you understand how scientific information is processed-- obeying scripture to hear the other side of the story- will be extremely difficult Video #3 Creation A Christian View of Everything: THE IMPORTANCE AND VALIDITY OF READING GENESIS AS HISTORY The same tricks and methods used to suppress the health risks of cigarette smoking for 50 years are still being used to control and shape “The Narrative” on climate, abortion health risks to the woman, and crazy as it sounds- the age of earth and the universe. Video #4 Covid 19: Concise Report: Did Jesus reveal a better Plan? 2021 The Pandemic: A Concise Report. 30 minutes to understand what happened (Sept. 2021) Video #5 The Hidden Physical Health Risks of Abortion and Informed Consent: For a Teenage Girl and Her Physician 20 years ago I believe God asked me to use my video production company to get the national television networks to sponsor a documentary about abortion risks to women. They all refused. The justification for abortion is based entirely on lies. There is no truth whatsoever. 6 The Hidden Emotional Risks of Abortion The shame in post abortion Christian women is so high such women have extreme difficulty even sharing with their best friend. So they keep it bottled up resulting in a diminished relationship with everyone around her and God. #7 Help Moving Forward: Sorting Through the Additional Rubble: Expanding Your News Sources We must continue to pick through the rubble sorting out which ideas that are now on the inside of the church belong on the outside with "The Enemy" and his “Narrative" Some examples: Population growth? The Narrative wants fewer people on earth, far fewer. So don’t be surprised when destructive ideas and policies emerge. In fact Jesus looks at people as a blessing. The Bible never revoked the command to multiply. Despite images of cities teaming with people the entire world’s population can still be placed into a very very small geographical area. Hunger is not due to overpopulation or a shortage of food but poverty that comes from evil governments. Gender confusion? Children years too young to provide legal consent are undergoing life changing permanent physical and chemical mutilation to their God given gender. Studies reveal it doesn’t make them happier. Born Gay? A major medical research organization did a thorough analysis of the human DNA hoping to find the gay gene. They found nothing. Neither God nor evolution could create same sex attraction. Climate Change or climate alarmism? There is ample evidence that “The Narrative" is based on power and politics more than actual science. We know beyond dispute that the oceans were higher and the planet far warmer in the recent past. "The Narrative’s not telling you that. Yet we are rushing forward trying to eliminate fossil fuels 20 or 30 years ahead of being able to replace them with electricity. The resulting chaos is worsening. And the WEF- the world economic forum. "The Narrative" wants you to believe it consists of uber wealthy kindly rich men like Bill Gates dressed in his casual sweater like Mr. Rogers. The WEF claims to be simply helping our elected officials do their job of helping everyone stay healthy and happy, right? So why did Bill Gates refuse to let the poorest countries have the formulae to make their own Covid vaccines? These are a few of the ideas that permeate our thinking but appear to be very destructive. You have learned through the earlier documentary, Censored, how empirical science is skewed to support The Narrative. I believe Christians and our churches are at a divide in the road. There is a 100 dollar word for choosing which path you will follow- bifurcation. It is a term used in the nautical world. There is a river I like to boat on that divides into a wide channel and a narrow channel at one point. Only if you know how to interpret the meaning of the colour of a simple floating marker, a buoy, do you know to take the narrow channel to avoid the rocks on the wide one. There is no arrow to point out the correct direction. On occasion we hear the crunching and propeller grinding from a boater who didn't know how to interpret the simple buoy. Unlike road signs with arrows and even multiple languages the boater gets a simple floating pole in the water. No words. And the colour alone does not tell you which channel to choose. You must also know which way the current is flowing. So I wrap up asking if you know which way the current is taking you? Scripture tells us how to discern and sort out these ideas. But in addition, podcasters like the one running in the background are a great resource. Revelation 17, 9: "Don't drop your guard, use your head"..... ". The Message (MSG) Churches and individuals which continue to rebuild the wall of truth will be safely inside Jesus plan.
