CHASTENING of California

 Proverbs 16:18

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Was California proud?

Had her officials been belligerent?

Had they failed their people?

Have they owned up to their mistakes?

Was she under "judgment"?

Were the fires man-made?

And GOD-allowed?

Of course, only GOD knows.

Apart from whoever "planned" or "started" the fire.

If it was man-made, at all.

Or part of a "greater" picture we know nothing about.

But we do know what the Bible says about "chastening".

We feel California is being "chastened".

All that pride, and wokefulness, won't do.

All her love for things of the world, won't do.

Hollywood's love for sin, won't do.

GOD loves California.

Despite her many errors.

He wants her SAVED -- through JESUS.

The very JESUS she mocks, and sets aside.

Otherwise, He wouldn't have "chastened" her.

He wants her eyes "opened".

Would she open it, this time?

Would she turn to GOD, this time?

Would she finally lose that self-absorption?

Would her officials abandon their left, and woke, ideology?

Would she become born again, so SPIRIT would lead her, instead of "self"?

Would she repent of her sins?

As I ponder over California's raging fires, and failed leadership, SPIRIT led me to some very telling verses.

Know more what "chastening" means:

Hebrews 12:5

King James Version

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation 

which speaketh unto you as unto children, 

My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, 

nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

Hebrews 12:6

King James Version

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, 

and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Hebrews 12:7

King James Version

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; 

for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Hebrews 12:8

King James Version

8 But if ye be without chastisement, 

whereof all are partakers, 

then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Hebrews 12:9

King James Version

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh 

which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: 

shall we not much rather be in subjection 

unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Hebrews 12:10

King James Version

10 For they verily for a few days 

chastened us after their own pleasure; 

but he for our profit, 

that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Hebrews 12:11

King James Version

11 Now no chastening for the present 

seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: 

nevertheless afterward it yieldeth 

the peaceable fruit of righteousness 

unto them which are exercised thereby.

Hebrews 12:12-13

King James Version

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, 

and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, 

lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; 

but let it rather be healed.

Hebrews 12:14

King James Version

14 Follow peace with all men, 

and holiness, without which 

no man shall see the Lord:

Hebrews 12:15

King James Version

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; 

lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, 

and thereby many be defiled;

 Ephesians 6:10-12

King James Version

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to stand 

against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I'm not into conspiracy theories.

I merely connect the dots, through the HOLY SPIRIT's prompt.

More often than not, as I write an article, other articles are spawned.

I merely follow SPIRIT's lead.

Such as when we ended yesterday's article with:

"America is on the road to recovery with the Trump team.

Nation-wise, militarily, economically, and spiritually.

CHRIST's enemy knows that.

Precisely why he placed obstacles before them.

And that's for another post."

-- "AMERICA's re-elected HOUSE speaker"

This article you're reading now is that "post".

The trigger actually came right at the start of the Mike Johnson video, when he prayed for the victims at Louisiana.

Wherein a military guy plowed through Bourbon Street.

Killing 15, and injuring dozens of people.

RIGHT at that moment, I began to wonder if it was connected to a recent cybertruck explosion:

Are these "coincidences"?

FIRST, the car-ramming in Louisiana, which happened to be Speaker Johnson's home state. It happened just days before he was to be voted in Congress.

SECOND, the blowing up of the Tesla cybertruck, in front of the Trump hotel. Tesla's Elon Musk, and president-elect Trump, are pretty close. Trump's inauguration draws close.

THIRD, both perpetrators are military men; both American citizens. What pushed them over the edge?

FOURTH, both came from Fort Bragg.

FIFTH, both didn't mind perishing (the first perished through police gunfire; the second was self-inflicted).

SIXTH, both seemed to have marriage problems.

Are these two random events, or are these connected?

Were they meant to warn the TRUMP team?

Is there a larger picture here?

What made these men "fall off"?

We are not into conjecture either.

We wait for the investigator's findings.

We shall know more as the days evolve.

We add videos below as they show up each day.

But we do know this -- Satan continues to menace.

Either to cause panic, fear, confusion, deception, hatred, anger, death, and destruction.

Those are his "fingerprints".

BEWARE his ways, and intentions:

1 Peter 5:8-9 

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, 

knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished 

in your brethren that are in the world.

And to the public, know this:

Only through JESUS 

can we be safe, and saved.

The LORD assures believers:

Matthew 10:28

King James Version

28 And fear not them which kill the body, 

but are not able to kill the soul: 

but rather fear him which is able to destroy 

both soul and body in hell.

Luke 21:18

King James Version

18 But there shall not 

an hair of your head perish.

Revelation 1:18

King James Version

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; 

and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; 

and have the keys of hell and of death.

We've looked into America recently.

But now that her elections are over, she's going to be just fine.

GOD put president-elect Trump to look after her, and Israel.

Now, the HOLY SPIRIT turned my attention to Africa.

Seems, it's the third "assignment" He gave me.

We've already studied America, and Israel.

Now, it's Africa's turn.

There's one, particular nation He led me to:

KENYA

Kenya is an amazing country.

She may be of lower middle-income status, but she's got guts!

She can go against international pressure, even "bullying".

She is not afraid of "giants".

We know of two clear instances.

FIRST instance:

Today, we learned her High Court "suspends immunity" on the Gates Foundation.

Her people question why the foundation should have "immunity", which is normally reserved for those with diplomatic status.

She questions, what is the foundation "hiding"?

Well, we did write on 7 October 2022:

"Many years ago, I wanted to join an essay contest.

It was being sponsored by a well-known foundation.

Reviewing the guidelines, I was alerted to something.

Which soured the idea for me.

The foundation was promoting vaccines in Africa.

To my mind, that felt incongruous to the plight of Africa.

Didn't the people needed food, clean water, homes?

Wasn't there famine everywhere?

Why was the foundation promoting vaccines?

The nagging thought was set aside for a time.

Until GOD made me born again in September 2019."

-- "Why vaccines and not FOOD?"

We also learned that very same foundation has been buying large tracts of land in America, as well as promoting modern farming methods in Kenya.

She is really attractive to these globalists for this reason -- among many:

"Agriculture is the largest sector; tea and coffee are traditional cash crops, while fresh flowers are a fast-growing export."

-- Wikipedia

SECOND instance:

On 9 October 2022, we wrote that William Ruto, Kenya's president, subtly put an international reporter in her place, because she kept badgering him about LGBTQ.

This is what president Ruto told her:

"As it is now, we are grappling with five million young people who don't have jobs, four million people who are hungry, and that is my concern. That is the forecast of the people of Kenya at the moment."

   -- Source: Woke CNN Reporter HUMILIATED By Kenyan President Over LGBT Rights

One would think the female reporter would have known this:

Homosexual acts are illegal in Kenya and typically punishable by up to 14 years in prison.[154] According to a 2020 survey by the Pew Research Center, 83% of Kenyans believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society.[155] While addressing a joint press conference together with President Barack Obama* in 2015, President Kenyatta declined to assure Kenya's commitment to gay rights, saying that "the issue of gay rights is really a non-issue... But there are some things that we must admit we don't share. Our culture, our societies don't accept."

-- Wikipedia

*Obama's father is Kenyan; his mother, American.

America must really stop trying to convert others to their gender and woke issues.

Well, Kamala lost, and that's that.

Trump will make sure America acts right again.

Other things going for Kenya?

A lot:

"Most Kenyans are Christian (85.5%), with 53.9% Protestant and 20.6% Roman Catholic."

"Kenya has by far the highest number of Quakers of any country in the world, with around 146,300.[220] The only Jewish synagogue in the country is in Nairobi."

-- Wikipedia

Thank GOD, Kenya worships JESUS.

Now you see why Satan wants to corrupt her.

SPIRIT also made us see areas for potential problems.

But that will have to be for another post.

She is also attractive to globalists because of her "youth":

According to the 2019 Population and Census results, 75 percent of the 47.6 million population is under the age of 35, making Kenya a country of the youth.

-- Wikipedia

Despite her lower middle-income status, Kenya is no pushover.

She may not be a perfect nation, as no human nation is.

But she's got GOD in her national anthem:

Anthem: "Ee Mungu Nguvu Yetu"

(English: "O God of All Creation")

We shall pray for Kenya, that she continues on her GODLY path.

And become free of corruption, oppression, and manipulation.

May her people live peacefully, freely, and prosperously!

Numbers 6:24-26

King James Version

24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, 

and be gracious unto thee:

26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, 

and give thee peace.

BEYOND peripheral VISION

1 Samuel 3:1

King James Version

3 And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. 

And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; 

there was no open vision.

Once a reader of new age material, I prided myself in having "peripheral" vision.

It's "seeing" from "outside the corner of one's eyes".

I thought that was the right way to "see".

Of course, new age makes you think you're more than you really are.

Well, soon as GOD made me born again in 2019, I began to see differently.

Starting with losing all sense of "self".

My vision truly expanded.

I began to see beyond the peripheral.

I began to see , and become aware of "others".

Their plight, their needs, my sins against them.

When you really start "seeing", the latter is the most painful of all.

But it's something you have to go through.

That's what automatically happens when GOD makes you born again.

FIRST, you receive a "humbling".

SECOND, the "forgiveness"

THIRD, the "anointing".

You begin to finally "see", as GOD wants you to see.

Your vision is not clouded anymore.

You begin to understand, and grasp things, through Scripture.

The WORD of GOD becomes your ONE, TRUE GUIDE.

You begin to appreciate everything GOD gave you.

You begin to acknowledge all your sins.

You realize self is not as important as new age says it should be.

I never thought I was the center of the universe.

I always thought the sun was.

Even that was corrected.

Only GOD is the center of the UNIVERSE.

Concern goes beyond self.

You begin to truly care about others.

Love becomes "unconditional".

Because JESUS taught us that.

That's what it means to go BEYOND peripheral vision.

Now, you have SPIRIT and SPIRITUAL vision.

You are now being taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

He teaches you about GOD, self, and others.

He teaches you about GOD's commands.

He teaches you about JESUS.

He tells you of past, present, and future.

He answers all the questions you have.

As born again, you see who you really are.

You see others for who they really are.

You see the world for what it really is.

You see GOD for Who He Is.

You see JESUS for Who He Is.

You see SPIRIT for Who He Is.

You see Scripture for what it is.

Nothing is withheld from you anymore.

As born again, you see beyond the norm, the usual, the programmed.

It's like, all of a sudden, you don't need to "wear" glasses anymore.

Now, you see through the LENS of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Your "vision" has become perfect!

Or, at least, being perfected.

Now, nothing is being hidden from you.

Scripture tells us all we need to know.

That's why I marvel, and write like crazy.

We have created 110 blogs, as of this writing.

Those blogs explore, and expand, on our Bible discoveries.

As my vision expanded. so did my understanding of GOD's laws.

Now, you don't need to see through "philosophy".

Or what man thinks you "should" focus on.

Now, all you care about is that SPIRIT makes you "see".

You don't need intellect, as much as you need a childlike heart.

As a teen, I came across this quote from "The Little Prince":

"It is only in the heart that one can see rightly, 

what is essential is invisible to the eye".

-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Today, I reflect upon it.

And discover HALF of it is right.

It is not "in the heart" that makes us see rightly.

It is only "through SPIRIT" that one can see "rightly".

1 Corinthians 2:10

King James Version

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.

And yes, Exupery was HALF right, too.

"What is essential is invisible to the eye".

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

JESUS said these of the HOLY SPIRIT:

John 3:8

King James Version

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 14:17

King James Version

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

Apostle Paul speaks of the "unseen":

2 Corinthians 4:18

King James Version

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, 

but at the things which are not seen: 

for the things which are seen are temporal; 

but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Pray to be born again.

You have no idea what you're missing out on.

I champion the cause of being BORN AGAIN.

Not in the way many elite, or prosperity churches have abused it.

But in the way that JESUS defined it.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Only through GOD's LOVE, and GRACE, do I have clear vision.

Otherwise, I couldn't write as I do.

Much less understand Scripture, as I have.

I'm done with peripheral vision.

It is limited.

GOD isn't.

COVERING the ELECTIONS

JESUS asked us: 

Luke 15:4

King James Version

4 What man of you, 

having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, 

doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

I had no idea I'd be writing so much about Kamala Harris.

I've written once about J.K. Rowling.

And once about Celine Dion.

But never several posts on just one woman.

Neither do I cover the elections.

What more the U.S. elections?

I live over 7,000 miles from the U.S.

Politics, and politicians don't interest me at all.

And yet, the first time I heard her "cackle", I got alarmed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's like warning bells rang so loudly in my heart.

Then she started "unveiling" her agendas.

I had to carry the banner of the LORD.

SPIRIT and I had to write about her many errors.

How she blatantly defies GOD's laws.

And "uses " Him, when it's convenient.

Causing potential danger to herself, and others.

Of course, I was particularly alarmed, as she was running for the highest office of her country.

And when I saw her barely able to "tolerate" the presence of Israel's Netanyahu, I knew the goose was "cooked".

That signaled what she was about.

ISRAEL was in DANGER.

It was also the "swagger" that got me.

As if a girl came from the 'hood -- to hoodwink us?

Well, she is in politics; I'm not.

I am in Scripture.

All I need to know, I learn from Scripture.

All I need to learn, the HOLY SPIRIT teaches me.

He makes Scripture easy for me to understand.

He teaches me all things JESUS.

He makes me warn people.

The LORD JESUS did say:

John 16:7-15 

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, 

because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine:

 therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

Writing about Kamala was a total surprise for me.

I was careful that it was not due to my emotions, but only through real alarm.

I continue to observe, as she blunders, and boasts about her ways, and agenda.

Calling people to reproductive freedom, and to be "woke".

In outright defiance of GOD's laws.

Being constantly evasive in answering important issues.

Stringing people along, for her ride.

No one can seem to "pin" her down on anything.

Don't even try.

Satan's chameleon's on a roll.

With that false sense of "bravado".

Remember what the Bible says about "pride"?

Proverbs 16:18

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

And when you're not transparent, then you're hiding something.

As born again watchman, I can't shut my eyes, and ears, to what I was seeing, and hearing.

AMERICA was in DANGER.

I feel Trump will be president.

But I don't really know what the Democratic machine, or the "deep state", have up their sleeve.

Anything can happen, from now, till the inauguration.

There is a great urgency for reform these days.

People can "snap", from their suffering.

Trump called everyone to "common sense".

Which America so badly needed.

As it was, Satan had her skull, and jaw.

I've been observing the world since 2019.

With particular emphasis on the U.S. and Israel.

This Biden administration is very concerning.

I was appalled at their conflicting policies.

Their policies didn't make sense.

They didn't seem to care for their own people.

They opened their borders freely, and dangerously.

They tied the hands of their police.

They were going nuts over their woke culture.

They were helping Ukraine, and yet they had trillions in debt.

Who was paying for all that?

Why aren't citizens complaining?

I didn't see any protests.

Unless they were "warned" by government, and media.

If you look at media now, you'd see whose side they're on.

Everyday Americans were made to keep their heads low.

And not ask too many questions.

I felt something building up, ready to be "blown".

When GOD made me born again, He made me look into the U.S.

That was over five years ago, in September 2019.

Right away, He led me to Bible prophecy.

With specific emphasis on the U.S.

How she is "RIPE" for judgment.

Soon as Kamala was endorsed by Biden, it alerted me.

Especially when she started cackling, boasting, and swaggering.

I could not believe she was their choice.

Signs that it wasn't going to be a fair fight at all.

She gloated in her new-found power.

Something she has prepared for, all her life.

Lusting for that one, supreme, worldly power.

And a woman of "color" yet!

Yes, that was their narrative.

But the veil kept slipping.

Trump calls her "Lying Kamala".

Others call her "Scammala".

Many were aghast at her brashness.

Christians were alerted by her "wokeness".

And many things that didn't "add" up.

Thank GOD, He alerted me to that "cackle".

That was the "signal" He gave me.

It spoke volumes to my born again heart.

Asked what she would do when she becomes president?

She said, she won't change a thing Biden did.

Again, more alarms ran through my body.

What would happen to the U.S. now?

What would happen to the world now?

What would happen to Israel now?

All these, Kamala is well aware of.

Almost tasting the power in her deluded hands.

JESUS died for you, Kamala.

But you turned Him away.

It's not too late.

Whether you become president, or not, you need to obey what JESUS commanded us:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand:

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

John 3:18-20

King James Version

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: 

but he that believeth not is condemned already, 

because he hath not believed in the name 

of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, 

that light is come into the world, 

and men loved darkness rather than light, 

because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, 

neither cometh to the light, 

lest his deeds should be reproved.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

By tonight, perhaps we'll know the winner.

May America wake up on time.

May she have voted, with JESUS in her heart.

If not, may people turn to the LORD now.

Before it's later than late.
