God is good! Always has been, always will be. Amen. Hello blessed friends in Christ. I pray God’s goodness fills you to overflow all of the time.

Thank You Father God, for in Christ we lack absolutely nothing. Completely content in the Holy Spirit as we sit at a table prepared by our Lord Jesus Christ, drinking and eating of Him, our Spiritual sustenance.

The inward man (Inner Man – You) is growing stronger by the day, shining and bursting with the brilliance of Lord Jesus. The outward man crucified, long dead and washed away from our memory, by the blood of Jesus.

The inward man lives in the divine presence of the Godhead, in a Holy temple, lovingly formed by his Father’s hands. God’s Spirit filling the temple in all His power and glory. He sits with Son and His best friend – Jesus, in the presence of Father God. They love each other more than anything.

Jesus continues to nurture, comfort and counsel the inner man. He is becoming just like Jesus. Together their countenance shines throughout all the temple. Father God is well pleased with the inner man, and loves him as He always has done, from the beginning of time.

Father God has set aside great plans for the inner man. He will carry him in His right arm through strong waters and protect him from evil. He will never leave or forsake him.

Father God holds a great inheritance for him, in His Kingdom, where His beautiful Son Jesus reigns as King for ever and ever.

The Inner man, will be with his best friend, for ever and ever. Amen.

Matthew 5:6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.

John 6:53-58 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.

1 Corinthians 6:19

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

2 Corinthians 3:18

Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 4:16

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Romans 7:22

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.

Psalm 51:6

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

Proverbs 20:27

The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the inner depths of his heart.

Colossians 3:9-10

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

Ephesians 3:14-19

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Psalm 23:1-6

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

Psalm 139:1-18

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

If  I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Ezekiel 36:25-27

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

God Bless your inner man to receive the fullness in Christ.

With love from your brother in Christ,

Paul

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, today is a significant day in history and foretold in scripture in the Old Testament. This peace deal is one of the major markers required before Jesus’s return and we have now hit this major milestone. A significant time and event prophesied in the Bible, in the end times.

We celebrate with Israel and the United States in achieving peace in the middle east, especially for Israel and the Jewish people in that region. As you well know many lives were lost on both sides and we all grieved for those who died, notably the innocent in this horrific war.

Hopefully we will see lasting peace for Israel and in that region, as the people find their footing and establish their homes and remaining families in some semblance of civilisation. Please pray for them all as both sides struggle to re-establish themselves again.

What an awesome day it was to see the Israeli hostages released back into the arms of their families and loved ones. No doubt we will see celebrations and absolute joy as these are reunited in love.

This is not to put a damper on this momentous occasion during this time of celebrating the reconciliation and peace, but we must also keep our eyes wide open to what scripture warns us about this time of celebration.

What happens next, we need to watch and see the remaining scripture in 1 Thessalonians 5:4, Paul writes, where everyone celebrates “Peace and Safety“, as this invites “Sudden Destruction”.

We brothers and sisters, are not deceived but ever watchful as Watchmen, as another major sign of scripture is completed on God’s heavenly countdown clock and calendar. This scripture gives us a sobering warning:

1 Thessalonians 5:4

The Day of the Lord

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

Please continue to pray for Israel and Jerusalem, as this is just the beginning of all out war in that region, the peace and safety will be short lived and may bring a false sense of relief and unexpected devastation.

Scripture is always proven right, and God forewarns us that this is not the time for letting our guard down but quite the opposite, to be vigilant and be ready. We still have to see the Ezekiel 38 and 39 war, as Israel’s enemies will surround her in an effort to destroy her.

Read Ezekiel 38 and 39 here by clicking on these links below:

Ezekiel 38 NKJV

Ezekiel 39 NKJV

We watch closely as we know the truth, only our Lord God Almighty can bring everlasting peace.

Trust in the Lord God with all your understanding, leaning on Him always know He will deliver us from the snare of the fowler and deadly pestilance and that no harm will come near your home – paraphrasing parts of Psalm 91

Your brother in Christ.

“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” – Genesis 12:3

Today 23rd September 2025, marks a significant day in the calendar in human history. All the nations of the world had indicated that they would support a vote to divide Israel and recognise Palestine as part of a two state nation.

This is a direct opposition of what God tells us about the nation of Israel in scriptures, and how those who come against the nation of Israel will be judged and punished by God

“For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.” – Deuteronomy 14:2

The Nation of Israel. has a unique place in God’s heart and plan. Throughout history, many important events happened in Israel, showing how God guided and protected His people from those willing to attack or hurt His people. Understanding these verses helps us appreciate the deep bond between God and Israel.

“And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.” – Genesis 17:7

“You shall be My people, and I will be your God.” – Jeremiah 30:22

Israel has an ancient history which starts with God from creation and still today the nation of Israel worship the one God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

In the past years where Israel has gone to war, our Lord has always given them victory when in obedience to Him and added land to the nation from her enemies. Take a look at what God says to Israel in this scripture:

‘When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, When He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.‘ – Deuteronomy 32:8

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them, and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.” – Ezekiel 37:21-22

“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.” – Deuteronomy 7:6:

Today the people of the world, as represented by their ambassadors to the Untied Nations unanimously voted that Israel be divided and to share the nation with Hamas (Palestinians) and Israel, which is Israel’s mortal enemy. This of course Israel will not accept, nor will the USA who is a great friend of Israel’s.

God tell us clearly what will happen when the world turns against Israel and try to divide their land:

“And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” – Zechariah 12:9

“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” – Genesis 12:3

“This is what the LORD says: ‘I will uproot from their land the evil nations that seek to destroy my people.’” – Jeremiah 12:14

“I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; there I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel.” – Joel 3:2

These verses presents a clear warning about God’s judgment against those who mistreat His people. Nations will face consequences for their actions, teaching us the necessity to uphold love and peace towards Israel.

This is not a political war but a spiritual war for dominance over that which God has placed His name on. The enemy dresses this entire strategy as peace and safety for the region and in fact the world, yet he (the enemy, the devil) deceives the nations and manipulates them to his own ends.

Lets see what our Lord says about this particular statement:

“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.” –  1 Thessalonians 5:3

The nations are gathering against Israel to isolate her under the guise of peace and safety (security), which is ironic as the UN recognises Hamas and other terrorist organisations as member states and nations.

The UN will by design, will intend to reduce Israel to be manipulated by an sworn enemy right on her doorstep and effectively remove the only democracy from the Middle East.

Right now only the USA will stand up for Israel, but we know according to scripture this will change over time and Israel will have no support to defend her cause.

However there is One Who Sees, and He will not forget who we are told in scripture will step in and destroy all the nations arising against Israel.

The oracle of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus declares the Lord, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him: “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. On that day, declares the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. But for the sake of the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, when I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the Lord of hosts, their God.‘ – Zechariah 12:1-9

On which side will you stand?

Pray with us as we stand for Israel and the God who loves and protects her our Lord Jesus Christ

Pray for Israel, pray for the peace of Israel as we are instructed by our Lord God.

‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!’ – Psalm 122:6-8

Your brother in Christ.

See brother Paul’s comment in post 77….

Hello Friends in Christ. I just wanted to honour a brother in Christ, Charlie Kirk, who was taken to glory early.

Thank You Jesus for Your amazing ministry with him that touched so many lives. I thank You Jesus, for the courage and boldness Charlie displayed as You spoke through him the full gospel message to millions of people.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Charlie went to places that no one else would go, to speak truth and life at many college campuses across America.

Exposing false doctrines and articulating God’s truth in a way that people could understand. Setting people free from the deceptions and sin, of this world.

Exposing wickedness according to God’s word, enlightening people by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal truthfully are His delight.

2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

John 8:32  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Charlie gave up his life for others, Jesus says there is no greater love than this. But you O Lord God, have a way of turning things around.

We have seen revival ignited across the world as people come together in honour of what You Jesus, have done through Charlie.

An end time harvest coming to pass, all thanks and glory to You Jesus.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

We are in awe of You my Lord, of Your wondrous works in all the world. Your loving grace and mercy, always extending Your hand to the people of this world, that You desire none to perish.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Brotherly love and sympathies to Erika and family for your great loss of a wonderful husband and Dad.

We pray healing and restoration for you all, in Jesus name. Thank You Father for strengthening Erika to get through this time, that You will continue to use her mightily for the the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

As The Day of the Lord approaches, let us all be confident that we will see again or meet our beloved brother in Christ Charlie. And all our family or friends asleep in Christ, who will be raised up first.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18  But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord Therefore comfort one another with these words.

We thank you for joining us here, please comment by clicking on the post title.

With love from your brother in Christ,

Paul
