The title of the recently released movie about Bob Dylan’s life is taken from the song, “Like a Rolling Stone’

It depicts the meteoric rise from obscurity of the folk /rock legend of a local lad from Hibbing Minnesota beginning way back in the 60s .

Our mailman doesn’t deliver a lot of ‘personal’ mail these days, as for many of you I suspect?

However this week we got a ‘personal’ letter from another Dillon

Joe Dillon’s wife Sue, was writing to us from Iowa, to let us know that Joe has ‘gone to be with Jesus’ a few weeks ago.

I can’t remember how we were introduced to Joe and his devoted wife Sue many years ago but I can remember how they used to regularly drive the 5+ hours to come to their first retreat and then to our fellowship meetings for a season.

After the first retreat Joe was remarkably changed. His profound mental anguish gave way to a most pleasant and peaceful disposition.

We lost track for some years and then last year they appeared again on our doorstep. Our happy reunion was overshadowed by the news Joe has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His demeanor however was as pleasant and peaceful as ever!

Today the letter arrived from Sue informing us of Joe’s graduating from this life. The obituary read,

“Joe, a Vietnam Nam vet, dedicated 27 years to the US Postal Service where he was admired for his hard work, humor and camaraderie with coworkers. Faith and family were central to Joe’s life. He was a devoted ‘born again’ Catholic.A true fisher of men Joe had a profound gift for sharing his relationship with Jesus, faithful;y speaking the gospel to family friends and strangers alike. He had a genuine love for people and a gift for connecting with others often striking up conversations with anyone he met. Known for his beautiful penmanship he often hand wrote Bible verses to uplift those around him.”

It occurred to me that Joe was another “Complete Unknown” Dylan/Dillon, whose penmanship never led to fame or fortune but did ‘uplift’ the circle of influence that he was given

It just ‘so happened’ that in the same mail delivery there was another ‘personal’ parcel also addressed to Paul and Hilary.

It was postmarked from Canada, from our friends Carolyn and Muroslav, whose wedding we participated in on the first of our three, become five ‘Victory Laps’ last year.

We opened it to find this beautiful plaque.

And this amazing;y timely and appropriate note inside

It was Father’s double witness confirming the message of this ‘GodBlog’

At the end of this brief life it’s not about how known we have been on earth but how known we are in heaven

……as we complete the Victory lap in Christ that we have been given to run here as His for the most part ‘unknown’ but ‘faithful servants’

As I completed the blog. I chuckled….. and heard the echo from above.

…from “The humorous Mailman with the beautiful penmanship.”🙂

I never know what I will be given next to blog about!

Scanning my last blog I noted the highlighting of verse 25 from chapter 23 in the book of Jubilees and thought of our transition to the year 2025. This is earmarked to be a year and a time where those with the childlike humility described in that verse will be relearning what is the truth.

Johnny Enlow’s latest Unfiltered episode is an encouraging perspective of what lies ahead taken from Isaiah 25.

Here is the link

My last sentence in the previous blog was…

“Thankfully we have a Redeemer.”

Let me pick up from there………

This week I had my usual WW4K Bible study with my three grandsons swollen to four with Freddie visiting from New York.

We are studying the story of Ruth.

I was struck by this verse,

“She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi (grace) call me Mara, (bitter) for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?””
‭‭(Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV)

The point of the story of Ruth is captured in the last few verses of ‘begats’ in the book where we see Naomi’s ‘calamitous loss’ of husband and two sons, transformed into a ‘win’ for the whole world as her offspring Obed takes his place in the lineage, ultimately, of Jesus.

Only with hindsight at the coming of The Redeemer, was this first ‘Mary’’s personal ‘calamity’ seen to have been fully redeemed.

What Naomi experienced as a personal ‘calamity’ turned out in the end to be a monumental victory for her and for humanity.

Are you facing a ‘calamity’ at the moment?

Personally I would say we are looking at two or three situations currently that could be described as ‘calamities’

This story inspires us to trust fully in the greatness and goodness of our God for these situations and dear ones.

I spoke last about ‘millions’ in the context of vaccines ….’not in a million years,……. not for a million dollars’. Maybe you or someone you know were one of the ‘millions’ who were tragically injured (or died) as a result of ‘the jab’ or other harmful behaviors imposed during the COVID hoax.

(If you doubt the veracity or magnitude of this statement I would suggest checking out the research at the Steve Kirsh substack…..

https://kirschsubstack.com/

…or here is another short Bobby Kennedy clip

…but ‘There is a Redeemer’ who can transform ‘calamities’ so that we can remain Calamity Calm rather than Calamity Jane in the midst of the storm, knowing we know the One who knows the end from the beginning.

Here are two practical helps for those affected adversely by the jabs.’ This includes myself because although I did not take ‘the jab’ subsequent illness has been ascribed by 2 doctors to shedding of ‘the bioweapon’ and treated successfully accordingly.

The two treatment approaches I would recommend are first spiritual and then physical

In a blog during the height of the scamdemic I suggested applying the 5 ‘R Steps’ we teach at Your Smiling Face retreats or ‘Keys’ in Neal Lozano’s book, Unbound.

Repentance for sin. Release (forgiveness) of those who have offended us. Renunciation and Rebuke of evil. Receiving afresh the Father’s healing love.

Secondly there are a number of protocols that have emerged that show promise in undoing the harm of the jabs. Here is one….

https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/FLCCC_Alliance-I-RECOVER-Protocol-Post-Vaccine.pdf

Freddie and his family set off this morning to return to New York.

As we said our farewells at our front door I read out the quote from Lord of the Rings on the plaque pictured above that hangs there.

Our final time together had been watching the extended version of the final movie, The Return of the King.

It looked like ‘a calamity’…….Mankind would be destroyed! Middle earth conquered by evil!

Then the epic battle sees The King wielding the reforged sword, leading mankind and aided by supernatural beings, sweep away all opposition before him.

These last years have been ‘a global calamity’ in the sense of human suffering and loss. Yet in its wake there has been a ‘rude’ awakening to the reality of GOOD vs. EVIL bringing with it the opportunity for people to choose afresh for the side of GOOD…..for the side of GOD.

In the words of Sam Gamgee….

‘……There’s some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for!”

Or to repeat my own words about the sword of the Lord which is the word of the Lord that will not return to him void…

‘Toward the final conflict God’s word our command

We move inevitably onwards God’s weapons held in our hands

In Him we shall do more than conquer before our Lord who can stand

Man shall glorify his Maker, God shall be enjoyed

And that one called the Deceiver. His works shall be destroyed.”

So KEEP CALM

………..trusting in the Lord with all of your heart.

(Bill Maher interviews Dr Casey Means)

The Book of Jubilees is an ancient Jewish apocryphal text of 50 chapters, considered canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In chapter 23 we read,

24. And the heads of the children shall be white with grey hair,
And a child of three weeks shall appear old like a man of one hundred years, And their stature shall be destroyed by tribulation and oppression.

This well describes the deteriorating state of children’s health in the west and especially in the USA today. Bobby Kennedy has been crusading for years on behalf of our children through the Children’s Health Defense

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/

With his appointment as Secretary for Health and Human services he will now have the largest federal budget to implement his authentic largesse.

The text continues.

25. And in those days the children shall begin to study the laws, 
And to seek the commandments, 
And to return to the path of righteousness.

Then we read of a wonderful turn around….

26.And the days shall begin to grow many and increase amongst those children of men till their days draw nigh to one thousand years. 
And to a greater number of years than (before) was the number of the days.

A promise of health and an extension of life beyond what had been known (before) ……the flood.

The key to this turn around is highlighted in verse 25. There needs to be an unlearning and then a re-education as the children begin to study that which they have forgotten or has been kept from them.

I was trained in ‘allopathic medicine’ at Queen’s University Medical School. Allopathic simply means ‘against symptoms’ It often ends up focusing on managing the symptoms of an illness rather than identifying and treating the root cause.

When we moved to the US with no NHS and no salary, we were forced to look beyond ‘the government’ for a ‘doctor’s’ help.

Interestingly the word ‘doctor’ comes from the Latin for ‘teacher’

We are all meant to learn how to take responsibility to keep our bodies in health. Of course ‘Our help comes from the Lord the Maker of Heaven and earth’ God is our teacher and physician and our first recourse as believers has always been and continues to be when we or one of our children fall ill we ‘take it to the Lord in prayer’.

James asks. ‘Is anyone among you ill?’

He doesn’t suggest taking yourself to Casualty or the ER as a first response, but rather seeking the Lord for a causation that may require a ‘confession of sins’ and then a ‘laying on of hands’ and ‘anointing with oil.’ (James 5:14)

This last instruction was an early part of my being retaught as a ‘doctor.’ in the US when over lunch one day in response to my coughing fit a friend pulled out a little bottle from his pocket and said,

‘Here try this.’

It was our introduction to ‘essential oils’ the ‘life blood’ of plants – God’s natural medicine cabinet. These have become a mainstay for our health and healing ever since.

Another part of my re-education was to do with learning about the shady origins of modern allopathic medicine, something that was never touched on at med school.

It is captured in the story surrounding The Flexner Report where the monied oil magnets saw an opportunity to market their resource through patenting the key ingredients of God’s medicine cabinet, and attempting to recreate them from petrochemicals, discrediting any competitors as ‘quacks’ and selling them to profit from a gullible propagandized public.

They of course failed to improve of the Maker’s blueprint but rather facilitated a subsequent money maker in the treatments of these drugs ‘side effects’.

It was ironic last week to read of a Nobel prize winner from Harvard referring to Bobby Kennedy’ s appointment as ‘a return to ‘witchcraft’’. It is the Greek word for ‘witchcraft’ or ‘sorcery’ – pharmakiea from which we get the word pharmaceutical as in the pharmaceutical industry.

The ‘monied’ elite establishment again are seen opposing the courageous truth seekers and speakers. Nothing has changed since Jesus day.

I saw a recent quote where Kennedy said,’Not in a thousand years would I take the flu shot.’ It reminded me of my response when someone asked me a few years ago if I would take the Covid shot. I replied, ‘Not if you gave me a million dollars.’

The evidence is now overwhelming that what some labelled ‘the ‘kill shot’ was indeed part of a nefarious ‘depopulation’ agenda’

Thankfully we have a Redeemer.

To be continued….

Last week I got my yearly 2024 Wrapped report from Spotify.

I was interested but not surprised to discover that my most listened to song was Born into A Battle

You can listen to it by clicking here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc8mE1SBmhA

Then the other day I listened to an Ivor Cummins interview with DR. JACOB NORDANGARD entitled. ‘The Incredible History of How We Got Here”

As with Medicine so with History we need to question everything we have been taught. This is an enlightening insight into the machinations of the ‘evil’ and hidden actors who have influenced our world over the last 500 years.

You can listen to it here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqm3jjmCwjk

It was the closing few minutes that caught my attention when looking to the future Jacob used the word INEVITABLE to describe the confidence the two shared about how ‘good would intimately triumph over ‘evil’ and ‘truth’ over ‘falsehood.’

I am not aware of the word INEVITABLY occurring in any other Christian song’s lyrics than Born Into A Battle.

…’We move inevitably onwards; God’s weapons held in our hands.’

The fact that Born into a Battle is currently my ‘top’ song indicates how acutely aware people are of the spiritual battle that has been and continues to rage ……..

but also of the final outcome of this ‘War of the Ages’ as described in the Presbyterian catechism I learned as a boy…….

‘Man shall glorify his Maker

God shall be enjoyed

And that one called ‘The Deceiver’

His works shall be destroyed.‘

Just as I was about to post this blog I listened to the latest Johnny Enlow Unfiltered.

It was a perfect compliment to the earlier interview which did not give a biblical faith perspective of what is now developing. Johnny begins with some ‘on the ground’ good news and then helps us re-learn on the mountain of Religion.

I was confirmed in posting it here as it ends with the scripture that forms the chorus of Born into A Battle

‘For the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and He shall reign forever and ever.’

Here is the link……

On Saturday for the third year in a row Hilary participated in a Christmas Artisan fair with her WEEONESWEAR

She was assisted by me, so St Paul was in St.Paul’s church in St.Paul city.

The church venue was on Summit, appropriately named because it occupies the ‘high ground’ overlooking the city of St.Paul.

Summit Avenue is home to the longest stretch of VICTORIAN era homes in the United States!

As I prayer walked it again this year for the third time I heard from Father echoes of our ‘Three Victory Laps’ from earlier this year.

The ‘Visit St. Paul’ website states,

‘……there were 440 glorious homes on Summit Avenue.’

44 is the number for ‘chosen.’

‘Famous architect Cass Gilbert (who also designed the Minnesota State Capitol) designed eight houses on Summit. The most famous is the Lightner House at 318 Summit.’

318 represents the ‘remnant of grace’ who are indeed called to be those who fulfill Isaiah 60 as they shine as a Light in the dark world in these days, and to fulfill Matt.5:14 as, “A city set on a hill that cannot be hidden.”

When on previous years I walked this stretch that Saint Paul’s own F. Scott Fitzgerald once described as “a mausoleum of American architectural monstrosities”, and world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright dubbed, ‘the worst collection of architecture in the world”, I sensed the Lord say that evil in the earth had now reached its zenith or Summit. ( I recalled when we first moved here someone telling me, Anton Levey, or some other famous Occultist had actually lived on Summit)

That we are ‘over the hump’ was confirmed to me by our experience at this year’s fair.

Hilary felt she should diffuse the oil Abundance on our stall. The first mom who spotted our stall immediately purchased $100 of clothing for her adorable 1 year old. The number 100 speaks 0f Abundance.

We had several deep meaningful spiritual connections with folk. For example Hilary had felted and repurposed one of her own sweaters for BIGONESWEAR. At $40 it was a steal and was quickly scooped up by a lady who then realized the only way she could pay for it was to retrieve the small amount of cash she kept in the car for emergencies….but never had occasion to use….until now!

She returned with 2 crisp $20 (redemption x2)) bills – exactly the $40 she needed which lead into a deep conversation about God’s providence….and the significance of that number 40!

We ended up selling twice as much as last year!

I say ‘selling’ but truth be told Hilary is almost giving these garments away! If her time was to be properly remunerated she should be charging much more. These upcycled articles are lovingly recreated as ‘one of a kind.” out of nature’s fabric – pure wool, that has been felted and reimagined from adult garments.

With a frequency of 5000 Hz they energize rather than, like synthetic materials, deplete the body’s energy. Waterproof, durable and easy to care for they are worth their weight in gold as proven over the 5 years they have been tested out on our cared for grandchildren.

Father however spoke to me last night that it is the intention of the loving hands and heart behind their creation that makes them priceless instruments of healing .

We pay 20% of the takings to the host church. It came to $147 It had to be by cash or check. We were lead to purchase some items using cash and we had no check book, so we emptied our pockets and counted our money…..We had exactly $147!!!🙂

Cue for a song from Psalm 147 which speaks of the glorification of those ‘who fear the Lotd’

The highlight of the day was to see the expression of a delightful little girl whose heart was set on a beautiful pink jacket.

‘Look it fits me Daddy’🙂

‘Yes my love, It’s yours.’ 🙂

Her name was Noelle meaning Christmas festival where we celebrate God’s amazing gift of love to us – His son!

The pink color reminded me of Restoration where all that has been stolen by the enemy will be restored by our loving heavenly Father, as the evil kingdom which has held sway on the mountaintops of society gives way in the coming days to the Kingdom of God, the increase of which knows ‘no Summit!

This is the really Good News we announce from the Mountain Top

P.S. This was a rather unexpected way for me to begin to follow on from the positive response to my question last blog about my sharing more personally some insights on heath and healing.

The prize for the wittiest reply goes to Eugene who matched my “dead hang for 90 secs’ claim with……”I used to be able to hang a door in 10 minutes, now I just hang on to them.🙂“

So which one would you trust to help you improve your health, the current US secretary for Health and Human Services or the president elect’s nominee……before or after Trump?

It appears we truly are facing into a second American Revolution.

Make America Healthy Again is one aspect of this revolution.

With the remarkable team Trump is assembling the pole is no longer about right or left but about up or down as in ‘which wisdom are you drawing on, the wisdom from above or the wisdom from below?

‘“……..But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form and it always bears the beautiful harvest of righteousness! Good seeds of wisdom’s fruit will be planted with peaceful acts by those who cherish making peace.”
‭‭James (Jacob)‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

As I watch (antiwar) Kennedy work out I’m reminded of the passage in Hebrews that speaks of the peaceable fruit of righteousness. that is the result of godly training that may be painful for the moment.

This video caught my attention personally because like Bobby Kennedy** I too am 71 years old and like him pull-ups are one of the ways I keep my self healthy.

At 71 I can still run 100 meters in 17 seconds. That’s another sort of Victory (17) Lap🙂

I can do 40 push ups and 10 pull ups at a time and dead hang for 90 seconds. I haven’t been to an allopathic doctor (trained like I was) in probably about 20 years, and I can’t remember the last time I took a pharmaceutical drug.

I’m not saying all this to boast, but in Thanksgiving to God who has given me this gift of health.

As the ‘Victory Lap’ story about the 10 lepers in Luke 17 illustrates, ‘sozo’ healing goes beyond physical healing to a healing of ‘spirit, soul and body’.

Our Your Smiling Face retreat is built on the foundation of 1 Thessalonians. 5:23,24…..

‘Now may the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept sound at the coming of the Lord. The one who has called you is faithful. If he said it, he will do it!’

This ‘wholistic’ health is also illustrated in Bobby Kennedy’a personal story as his journey into health involved a journey out of addiction and into a personal relationship with God.

It occurred to me that my readers might be interested in my blogging on this more personal ‘pastoral’ note by sharing some of the practical things Hilary and I have learned about caring for the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit.’

If that would be of interest to you.….please let me know

Thankful for your journeying with us over these many years.

Paul and Hilary

** If you have imbibed what Russell Brand calls the ‘ambience of disdain’ created by the corrupt corporate machine around Bobby Kennedy here is a a piece of ‘wisdom from above’ from Russell….

Take a listen to this song about a river, that I recorded and released 7 years ago.

The song has been rising up in my spirit again in recent days.

In the latest Episode of Johnny Enlow Unfiltered he was talking about that river.

The above is.a screen shot. You can listen to the episode by clicking below…

https://rumble.com/v5qlc0b-johnny-enlow-unfiltered-131.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp

Johnny then went on from the Ezekiel 47 study to read from a book he had published 4 years ago in 2020, ‘The End of the World as we know it” where he had described the ‘golden age’ that we are now entering into.

It dovetailed beautifully with the sentiments of the song I had released, three years earlier.

On our recent ‘’Three Victory Laps’ to New England, Ireland and Korea, each time I found myself saying,

‘What we have experienced here is better than we could have ever imagined!’

Johnny mentioned at the end that the last sentence in his book, was just that,

‘The future will be better than we could ever have imagined.”

I was reminded again of the song we were given to sing on these victory laps for the nations.

“You’ve come this far now step farther out, out of the vale of tears

You’ve come this far now move farther in, while all of heaven cheers.

Freedom! Freedom! Let all creation sing

As we take the hand of our Father

As we take the hand of our King.

I omitted to post the link to that song, On The Day You Were Born on the blog…….so here is the second song for this week’s blog….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd1uQVWp9lY

Relax and enjoy 😊

The other name Johnny Enlow mentioned that stood out to me as ‘a double witness’, was the American football player who recently caught the winning ‘Hail Mary’ (appeal to heaven) pass.

His name was Noah.

Our Korean hosts had a surprise for us on our last day!

We drove for several hours to the Eastern Sea. As we rounded the final corner on the country road the structure in the above photo met our eyes.

Noah’s ark on Mount Ararat” said Kuk, smiling from ear to ear!

It certainly was a ‘Destination’ vacation spot, where earth and heaven appeared to kiss🙂

In Luke 17 we are told that ‘As it was in the days of Noah so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man.’

Noah, the ‘preacher of righteousness’ and his family were ‘saved through water’ It marked the ending of a world that was corrupt and a new beginning.

Genesis 9 then records God’s covenant made after the flood with Noah and ‘The Whole of Creation’. The 7 colored rainbow was given as a sign of his unfailing love.

Echos once more, for ‘the days’ in which we are now living.

As we basked briefly on the luxurious Sun Cruise I couldn’t but reflect on the ‘vacant’ expressions of many on board the Sun Cruise, reflecting how the best this world has to offer is indeed empty compared to the richness of God’s ‘kingdom life’

On our way there we had stopped off at Jason and Dajung’s more humble home, a small organic family farm in the beautiful Korean hills where they are raising their (large) Korean family of 4 children and hosting camps for young people.

They are radical, ‘Light Finders’ now ‘arising and shining’ on the ‘kingdom mountains’ of Family,, Education, Economics and Religion.

Our stomachs and hearts were filled up with good things. We drove on, basking this time in the luxurious ‘peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.’

‘Better by far’ I reflected ‘To be one of the Son’s Crew, than on the Sun Cruise. ‘

They took us to their workshop where God had inspired them to create several simple but highly effective tools including a ‘planter’ that is proving of enormous benefit to small farmers like themselves, and is now being shipped to many nations.

As we formed a final circle to pray, I sang…

May the one from whom you came.

May the one to whom you go

Bless you on your journey here below.

May the hand that formed your frames.

May the mouth that spoke your names.

Guide each step wherever you may go.

May your feet be always found

Planted firm on solid ground.

And your heart be lost

In heaven’s boundless blue.

That when journey here is o’er

And you find that distant shore

May what remains be beautiful and true.

As “Yah’s son” wiped the tears from his eyes we all knew we had once again experienced ‘’Earth and Heaven Kiss.’

We embraced each other one last time, and bade farewell one in heart and mind., to continue, on our separate journeys, but both going deeper into His kingdom come…… on earth as it is in heaven’.

The title, “When Earth and Heaven Kiss’ taken from Psalm 85 brings to my mind the kiss imagined in the 4th verse of a the Flame song which was given to me at the time of the Sydney Olympics in the year 2000.

When this age shall end and the time has come

For the trump to sound and our Lord to come.

Then as one well rise and our flame unite

With the one who loved and bought us.”

Of course at that time ‘the trump’ referred to was that of 1Thessalonians 4:16 as part of the description of the order of events we are to expect at the coming of the Lord in keeping with the pattern laid out in the fall feasts.

Donald J Trump at that time was merely a businessman and tv personality.

How amazingly events have unfolded since then, as the whole world has heard that TRUMP loud and clear!

After citing the 4 numbers I’ve gone over, Johnny Enlow then mentioned 4 names of sportsmen currently in the headlines.

One of these names was Freddie (peaceful ruler) Freeman.

In 2000 it was another, female Freeman, who was in the sporting limelight.. Kathy Freeman was the Aussie aboriginal gold medalist.

Katherine means ‘pure’, a bride prepared and fit to join her ‘peaceful ruler’ husband.

Kathy was the one selected to ascend with a torch to join with the enormous Olympic flame as illustrated here

You might remember the ‘technical hiccup-up” where she was left simply standing for several minutes before making her ascent through the Fire and Water.

The scripture came to mind was Psalm 66.

¹⁰ For you, God, tested us;
    you refined us like silver.
¹¹ You brought us into prison
    and laid burdens on our backs.
¹² You let people ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.

Now 24 years later is it indeed God’s time for, as President Trump,said ‘A Golden Age’ for the Freemen and Freewomen now and throughout the ages who have been purified as they have stood firm and passed through the testing water and fire to be united with The Flame.

The day we left Korea our friend Kuk who initiated the Korean youth leadership movement called The Institute of Light Finders honored me with a wonderful gift. It was a last remaining antique from his father’s Korean collection. His father, a strong believer, had been a highly esteemed and culturally influential figure in the nation of Korea.

It was a 300 year old lamp stand.

At bible Bible study this past Thursday with my three grandsons, we had come to the story of Gideon. There the fearless and discerning 300 Trump-eting Light Finders, experienced a ‘divine deliverance’ on behalf of the whole nation,

I took the photo above of the three

………holding this ‘earth and heaven kiss’ treasure.

I wrote last week about The Victory of Grace pointing to our three victory laps in the US, Ireland and Korea that Father then extended to 5 through 2 more ‘home runs’ here in Minneapolis.

5 is the number of Grace and 17 the number of Victory.

In Johnny Enlow’s post election message as he reflected on the election and on recent sporting events he identified 4 numbers. The first two proved ‘a double witness’ to our 5 and 17.

The second two numbers Johnny mentions are 50 and 85.

Here then is the second half of our story spanning the last 3 months and 30 years since moving to America. This again constitutes ‘a ‘double witness’ about these numbers, 50 and 85, in Johnny Enlow Unfiltered Episode 129, posted on the previous blog.

$50,000 was the ‘Jubilee’ figure Ben was lead to ask for by way of pledges in order to record our album, The Jubilee is the law of grace that will in the end be extended to The Whole of Creation.

Ben just happened’ to launch the Kickstarter 0n September 17. It was to run for one month ending on October 17, the day after we arrived home from Korea.On the morning of 17th literally at ‘the 11th hour’ he, Hilary and I were sitting around our living room table pondering the situation. We were still short by about $19,000 yet were all at peace.

My phone rang. It was a dear friend calling from Florida.

Paul’ he said,” My wife and I have been praying about the album and have heard nothing,until this morning when the Lord spoke a word to us about contributing what was needed to make up the $50,000.’

This brother’s name was……Laurence – “Man of victory.’

We looked at each other. ‘WOW! Thank you Father!”

The man of victory (17) had helped us cross the finish line on the day of victory (17)!!

The fourth number Johnny mentioned was the number 85.

This is the year 5785 in the Jewish calendar.

Psalm 85 was the psalm we were given for the USA when we arrived here in 1994.We subsequently discovered it was Psalm 85 that was read out at the first Continental Congress.

John Adams in a letter to his wife later wrote,I never saw a greater effect produced upon an audience. It seemed as if Heaven had ordained that psalm to be read on that morning…….It was enough to melt a heart of stone.”

The number 85 represents “Restored Fortunes” which is the theme of Psalm 85.

Verses 9-12 read,Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.”

Hence the title for this short three part series, “When Earth and Heaven Kiss,”

P.S. The day after the election I noticed that although our neighborhood was full of Harris/Waltz yard signs, there was only one Kamala on our block – our neighbor Michael. The ‘morning after’ as I returned home from a walk I noticed Michael was putting air into the tyre of his girlfriend’s car. For the first time I noticed the license plate was the same number as this Unfiltered episode – 129

I greeted Michael cheerfully and reading his vacant expression Father said,

‘It’s because they (like the tyre) are deflated after last night.”

He was alerting me to the wonderful opportunity we are presented with, to now come alongside those who have been mislead and are bewildered about the future to bring hope.
