BeLOnGings

I landed in Part 1 in a place of ‘fervent blessing’ beneath the protective wings of the Almighty.

The night I posted, this amazing and amusing benediction linked below was given at the RNC convention……

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrZ2V27YOsQ

I had referenced in the last post how our two house numbers involved in the local drama when matched with the Greek Strong’s numbers painted a picture of what was happening to us. It connected with the story in Acts chapter 18 concerning the opposition Paul faced in Corinth.

2721 is our house number. In Strong’s, 2721 (as distinct from 2721a and 2721b) is the Greek word katephistemi, used only once in scripture in the context of the attack on Paul. That is Acts 18:12.

As I listened on Newsmax to the report of the assassination attempt the time the bullet struck Trump, struck me! It was reported as 18.14 hrs.

I turned to Acts 18 again and read the rest of the story involving Paul’s assault.

Verse 14 speaks about ‘hearing’. It was Trump’s ear that had been struck by the bullet.

Paul had been brought to court…….. as has Trump.

Gallio the judge says, “If this involved some major crime or fraud I would be responsible to hear the case.”

However he decides it is not a major crime or fraud, and so we read, “He drove them (the accusers) away from the judgement seat.” (Amp)

On my way home from Costco last Monday, I turned on the radio and immediately heard the report that in Florida Judge Cannon had just dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump. She said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was violating the Constitution.

As in Acts 18, Trump’s accusers (specifically Jack Smith funded by the DOJ ) were ‘driven from the judgement seat.‘

Subsequent to our own ‘accusers’ having been driven off in our local situation, as we have continued to dwell under the shadow of the Almighty’s protective wings, we have indeed experienced increasingly that central meaning of our house number 2721a…..

…..and been blessed……… fervently!

Continuing home from Costco, I turned the radio off knowing that this was all I had needed to hear.

At that very moment a dove (not a pigeon!) representing the Holy Spirit appeared in front of my windshield and amazingly began to chart a course right in front of me as I circled upwards on the ramp to join Highway 100 above.

Stephen Jones writes, “There are three measures of the Holy Spirit. We are given the first measure (omer) of the Spirit through Passover when we are begotten by the Spirit. We are given a second measure (ephah) of the Spirit through Pentecost, when we receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The final measure (homer) is given through Tabernacles, when we receive the Holy Spirit without measure.An ephah is ten omers, but a homer is 100 omers.

100 represents the fullness of the Spirit ….as we circle upwards to this third and highest level of faith.

You’ve come this far now step further 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

As Romans 8 tells us, all creation is, “standing on tip toe to see the sons of God come into their own.” …..knowing the time is near for its own liberation from it’s bondage to corruption.

Here is the link to the song…….

‘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.’(Eph.6:12)

July 13th 2024 will go down in history because of what happened that evening.

That morning, our Psalm for the day was the classic one assuring us of God’s protection, number 91 It begins,

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].”(Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬ ‭AMP)‬‬

It reminded us of the ‘close shave’ Hilary had when she was hit by a car crossing a street in Melbourne, Australia and miraculously was pulled back rather than being dragged under the car.

The next day we flew to New Zealand. As we read Psalm 91together Hilary began weeping. I could see people looking wondering, “What did that cruel man just say to her?’ But her tears were a mixture of gratitude and delayed shock as we read together then,

“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;”

After ministering at Taupo a few days later, a lady told us, “I saw a tall green angel standing behind you on the platform.’

So last Saturday, on the 13th, after reading this psalm, Father prompted me to dig deeper into another experience of divine protection we shared about more recently.

I blogged extensively about our coming under attack from our nextdoor neighbor.

Her name was Gina Cernhaus. This translates to “The queen from the house of CERN.’

CERN is the European centre for nuclear research. It takes very little research to discover the dark powers behind this are seeking to open a portal to enable “spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places’ to access earth.

We knew it was an assignment of the enemy to try and shut down the heavenly portal that has been opening at 2721 Parkview……where we continually ‘stand still and see the salvation of our God.’

So I looked again at how the house numbers involved corresponded to Strong’s numbers.

Our neighbor lived at 2725. This is the Strong’s number for the word for ‘accuser’ as used in Revelation 12 of Satan, ‘the accuser of the brethren’

It was this lady’s accusations brought to the city authorities that began our prolonged battle that ended with our addressing the City Council at a public meeting. My testimony ended with a declaration of God’s sovereignty in the song ‘All Will Be Well.’

Here is a link to that song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjMz27kP71s

Our house number is 2721. In Strong’s there are three entries under this number.

2721 occurs only once in scripture… in the story of Paul. When in Corinth the Jewish leaders, ‘committed insurrection’ against Paul. It means to rise up against, to rush upon, to assault or attack.

The number 2721b has a similar meaning.

Then to my amazement I discovered that between 2721 and 2721b was 2721a. Its meaning is……

To bless fervently

Immediately I pictured 2721a between 2721 and 2721b……..

…..like the one securely resting beneath those protective wings of El Shaddai

In Part 2 I will link our story to what has just happened to Donald Trump.

‭‬‬

The other morning I woke and Father said,”Let’s go rucking’

So I donned my weighted back pack and headed out to the trails on Theodore Wirth Parkway.

It has been a number of years since I had run on these biking/walking trails bordering the golf course. I remember writing a number of blogs about messages I received through the stray balls I came across.

Well sure enough there was a golf ball, and another, and a third, and a fourth. I picked them and pocketed them to bring home.

This was the same day I wrote the recent blog, ‘From Whore to Holy’

You might remember the P.S. where the message was confirmed by a letter that had lain unopened for several weeks that I discovered that day. It was from a young lady who wanted to thank me for the songs that had surrounded her as a young girl, and had been instrumental in her falling in love with Jesus. She was now taking her vows as a sister who was dedicating her life to Jesus, as his Bride, as part of, “The Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus.”

The letter had been written on the first day of May, – May Day.

I posted a few weeks ago the song about the Father’s search for a bride fit for his son, When All the Sons of Heaven. The song’s dialogue between ‘the sons of heaven’ and God the Father begins,

When all the sons of heaven came before the Lord one day

From going to and from upon the earth.

They were all intoxicated with the flowering buds of May

And danced around the throne in joy and mirth

It depicts their delight in the pristine creation, but as the story unfolds the rotting buds of May represent the devastating effect of sin on the creation and the sons cry out in desperation for one to redeem ‘that broken ground’.

The song lifts as the buds of May flower again as the dying redeemer rises from the grave, breaking the power of sin and death.

Now the quest, is for a Bride……. worthy of such a Christ!

I began to examine the 4 golf balls.

A brightly colored one had the name Kirkland on it. The natural eyes sees merely a Costco purchase. However the name brought back to me my Father’s Sunday evening question to my mother, “ So shall we go to Kirk this evening?’ It is the Scottish word for church.

Kirkland is ‘The land of the Ekklesia‘….ultimately the whole earth the inheritance over which Christ and his bride will rule and reign.

Then I looked at the numbers on the above balls, a 4, a 2, a 1, and a 1.

It was then that the message from Father through Sister Angelica came into focus

At the end of the letter she gave two address to which I could reply, as they were moving to a new house

From 421 Daly Street…………../to 1142 Summit Avenue.

Those were the numbers on those golf balls!

Together we have 4211142.

Could the three ones between the double 42 represent the feasts of Passover, and Pentecost which were fulfilled 2,000 years ago and the third feast of Tabernacles which is being fulfilled in our day?

The land we are to inherit as God’s Ekklesia, was lost by the first Adam but restored through the second Adam, “the redemption of our bodies….for in this hope we were saved.“

What’s more, just that week at my grandson’s Bible study, subject had been the significance of the number 42 as the number of encampments before the children of Israel arrived at the promised land (Num.33) and the 42 generations before arriving at the fullness of the Christ (Matt.1) The number 42 represents ‘Arrival.’

I then looked at the names ……..Daly.

Could that be ‘delay’ ……no more.

It is time to arrive at the Summit?

Interestingly today’s blog by Stephen Jones was entitled,

‘Your redemption is drawing near‘

I’ll post the song/story here once more 😀

You can listen to the above monologue by clicking here……

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgG90auH4Og

Being honest, over the last few crazy years I have been tempted to be disappointed and saddened by some of my Christian friends. Where I had hoped for a greater openness to investigate and dig more deeply to find out ‘What is the truth here?’ there was what seemed to me a nieve acceptance of a manifestly false ‘mainstream narrative’.

Yet asI have come to believe,

‘He gives us each a role to play.’

So this leaves absolutely no room for judging other people.

It’s all in God’s hands

On the other hand I have been so glad to discover others who do not necessarily profess to be ‘Christian’ but in whom I have witnessed the virtues of Christ through whom came both ‘grace and truth’ (Jn.1:14)

In this recent segment I thought Neil Oliver exhibited these two virtues in a wonderful way.

He humbly recognized his gullibility over much of his life and then the process of ‘waking up’ in recent years to the truth about how he and we have been ‘hoodwinked’. He now seems to acknowledge what the Bible says about the reality of ‘the world the flesh and the devil’

However he then took the opportunity to encourage those who had been ‘red pilled’ not to berate others but to be less condemnatory and more patient if they seem to be lagging behind’ on this journey we are all destined to go on.

I recall someone else saying, ‘There but for the grace of God go I’

I felt Neil expressed the perfect balance of uncompromising truth and magnanimous grace.

He doesn’t talk much theology but I have come to admire his Christ-like character.

The challenge came to me……When friends (and celebrities, like Dr John Campbell) get ‘red-pilled’ will I greet them self righteously with an,’I told you so!’ …or come alongside them joyfully with an affirming,’Yes! I know! Isn’t God good!’

I am still walking and talking with Jesus on ‘the Way’ discovering not only what is ‘Truth’ but also what is ‘Life’ for myself and for others.

………..as God continues to change my heart, to incarnate ‘the Christ’’ who is ‘full of truth and grace.’’

Please check out the short clip below of someone else who I think also exhibits beautifully these two qualities

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LpUUposaqg

To hear the song “Yeshua’ please click on this link

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

Those of you who follow Johnny Enlow Unfiltered will know that in his last episode, ‘Staying afloat as Celebrity Christianity capsizes” he addresses the ‘shake down’ in the church’ in recent years as ‘big name’ ministers have been exposed for exploiting members of their congregation, often sexually, often from a young age.

Johnny shockingly estimates through his extensive personal experience that upward of 80% 0f the ‘mega churches’ have serious sin taking place at the highest level. It is fairly well accepted that 1 in 5 pastors in churches in general have taken advantage sexually of their flock.

I mentioned this to a leader when in Ireland and he said, ‘Yes that’s America but that sort of thing wouldn’t be happening in Northern Ireland.”

Well yesterday I was speaking to a doctor in Northern Ireland who told me that the largest group seeking medical help for sexually transmitted disease is no longer drug addicts, but ministers!

There is a need everywhere for genuine repentance and deep healing as it has become clear that the Whore of Babylon has deeply infiltrated the mountain of Religion in the establishment institution of ‘the church’

Yet the time has come, as spoken of in Revelation 18, for ‘Babylon’ to fall, and for the true Bride of Christ to arise.

Father gave me yet another threefold witness on the theme we have been lead to focus on……..that He is preparing a bride ‘without spot or wrinkle’ fit for his son..

This summer Hilary and I will be doing a road trip to our daughter in New York State, and to my nephew’s wedding in Toronto. We thought it would be an opportunity to look up some old friends along the way, including one in Toronto.

The other day this dear friend let us know that she too was going to get married…….and at the same time we had planned to visit!

‘Just a small simple affair. We’d be honored if you.would join us.’ She said.

So we now have a double wedding date 10th and 11th August.

Father then pointed out to me that he had given us three very close friends, all called by her name…Carolyn. One is to be married, one is already married, and one is recently widowed.

All three are beautiful ladies who have and are in different ways still, ‘’walking through the fire.” Like the three Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego they too have devoted themselves to serving with integrity and courage their ‘true king’ and have consequently experienced his intimacy in the fiery furnace of their lives.

So I looked up the meaning of the name Carolyn, and found these various meanings……

Strong and powerful

Womanly

King

The final definition offered, ‘God’s song’ reminded me of the above song about ‘the bridegroom’ ‘bathed in heaven, born of the earth’ – Yeshua.

It is amongst beautiful women (and men) like these, far from the fakery of a ‘show business’ church that a bride ‘without spot or wrinkle’ is being preparing as an Ezer Kenegdo for Yeshua Hamashiach…….Jesus the Anointed King.

Ezer and Kenegdo are the Hebrew words used in Gen.2:18.

They translated in KJV rather limply as a ‘help meet’ However a more full and robust translation would be,

‘A strength and power equal and corresponding to.’

Sounds to me like a Carolyn!

The 3G network has been the downfall of many Church leaders, corrupted by the Girls the Gold, and the Glory, as they have taken credit for their ‘achievements’

The Reprise of Yeshua on the Trek of the Bright Hostage album speaks to this, for it is amongst those who may lack beauty or wealth, in ‘worldly’ terms and who may not be considered winners’ by it’s standards, that this bride, treasured by heaven, is being formed, in harmony with her Bridegroom.

P.S. Again as with Lydia’s message last blog, just this morning as I am about to post this, I opened a letter that had sat unnoticed in my study for 6 weeks !

I was moved to tears as this pure hearted young woman described how from childhood she had been surrounded by the songs God has given me and how they have played a part in her finding her vocation as a ‘single for the Lord’ sister joyfully serving her Lord in nearby St Paul. Her beautifully handwritten perfectly timed letter contained the following about the songs,

‘I am so grateful for this gift from you, which led me to fall in love with the Lord from a young age and I’m sure has lead me to my present vocation as His Bride.’

‘

Listen to ‘How Beautiful You Are’ with some beautiful Irish harmonies by clicking here….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Or8EzW1RY

I don’t know if you caught the P.S. at the end of the last blog.

Dear Lydia’s physical life has for years been greatly limited by M.E. It has caused her to dig deep. She frequently sends me ‘life giving’ verses or quotations. Still single in the natural she has drawn beautifully close to her bridegroom Jesus.

Maybe that makes her sending me the verse about the Holy Spirit being our ‘engagement ring’ from Jesus all the more meaningful as the ‘third witness’ on the morning I am about to post this blog for those aspiring to be a part of the Bride of Christ!

Subsequent to posting the blog I received three independent comments on the same theme from readers in Ireland providing another threefold witness.

33 represents, ‘A Sign’

Norah sent me this painting and message,

Just after reading ur latest Kylemore Abbey blog. I’m heading to a Scottish wedding in this castle hotel. I painted this for couple as wedding gift! Enjoy!

Wikipedia says of this, Auchen castle,

‘The Johnstone’s remain Lords of Annandale to this day.’

Hilary’s maiden name was Johnston, my mother was Anna….. which leads to the second blog comment from Mags, about her niece Anna’s upcoming wedding

Mags wrote,

Thank you Paul for sharing your latest blog, Lyn,Diane and myself met for Fellowship this morning, and as it happened I shared that my niece Anna will be a Bride this Friday 21st June DV so as a family we too will be rejoicing in this union….. What A Great Reunion lies ahead of us all, at the marriage supper of The Lamb!

She then copied us all the song above, taken from Song of Solomon, “How Beautiful You Are.“

The third witness came from Keith who wrote,

Hi Paul

So as I’m reading the blog a friend sent a voice message about the Lord revealing an orphan spirit in him and him asking me to pray.

I then click on your link and the song is actually ‘dandled on my daddies knee’!!

Then directly below it a u tube post of the 10 differences between Catholics and Protestants 

Maybe a reminder that through the Fathers love  and approval the bride comes forth and the dance begins. 

Keith.

These are all examples of SYNCHRONICITY

Here is a brief and inspiring recent interview with Bobby Kennedy about the role synchronicity has played in his ‘Journey toward God’……

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYo0SNjB5g

‘I love it when that happens!” said the young girl on the long board as we passed one another for a second time.

I had been walking near our house when we first met on the trail. That was over an hour before and somehow as she kept on skating and I kept on walking our paths crossed again as we ended up journeying….

Full circle.

The photo above is of Hilary at the same spot my mum was photographed at on her honeymoon, 74 years ago!

The Romantic story behind Kylemore Abbey’s construction involves a very wealthy Englishman taking his County Down bride to this spot on their honeymoon! Both my mother and Hilary are also Stars of the County Down.’😀

At the time it was a very remote yet beautiful location, and his new bride Margaret, said, ‘Wouldn’t this be a wonderful place to live.!’ Her loving husband was inspired to build her this ‘dream house’.

They had 9 children here, however the romance took a tragedic turn when Margaret died while in Egypt. Her husband could no longer bear to live in the mansion without her and so subsequently it had a turbulent history until after WW2 when it became ‘home’ for a group of homeless Benedictine nuns whose convent in Belgium had been destroyed during the war.

How beautifully these two stories blend together to portray The Big Story.

A bridegroom desiring to give his all to bless his bride walks through the ‘valley of the shadow of death.’ But in the end a bride, a corporate bride, of ‘those who love this bridegroom finds a home, ‘a resting place’ he has prepared for them where they can then live out their expression of love for him.

Again amazingly, without our prior knowledge, our daughter Laurie and family had planned as part of their current European tour to visit Kylemore just a few weeks ago for their first time!

She sent us this photo of herself and Freddie her firstborn at the identical spot!

One of the pieces of art for sale at the Abbey pictures our firstborn (Robin) also at the same spot!

Christ was ‘the firstborn among many brethren….. that he might bring many sons to glory’

His glory is revealed through these ‘sons’

…..his beautiful and beloved bride.

P.S.

In the blog series after our previous Irish visit, I explained how ‘The Belle of Belfast City’ was prophetic of the bride that is being prepared there, and in every city on earth.

‘Out she comes as white as snow

Rings on her fingers bells on her toes’

This time another fun song from the Live at Rivendell album came to the fore in Belfast, describing the same….

‘……a fine lady on a white horse.

Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes

She shall have music wherever she goes.’

Just this morning :Belfast Lydia, now in Wales, sent me this verse, 2 Cor.5:4. in the TPT……

And this is no empty hope, for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee.

What a lovely timely third witness! 🙂

Enjoy the song by clicking here…..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_U_0Pzyr5I

Here is the link to the song…….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baSz8dAA8V4&list=OLAK5uy_k-Pcy-Iwm_QFWUUSruGI6vFpSTAgO8Cfk&index=3

I was not conscious at the time I was given the song “This is the Generation.“ about 42 years ago, that I had combined Psalm 24 with Isaiah 40

I was drawn to singing it a few days ago. When I came to the last stanza….

And then all the world will see

The salvation of our God

The salvation of our God

The salvation of our God.

I suddenly put it together, for Hilary and I had just been watching the Tucker Carlson interview with the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.

El Salvador means ….

The Savior

The president had just told how at his inauguration for a second term 110 countries of the world had sent delegations to witness the event. This was astounding for such a small country.

The reason for such interest was the ‘miraculous’ transformation of that little country from being the most dangerous place in the western hemisphere to being today, in 2024, the safest country in the western hemisphere, in a matter of just a few years!

Here is a link to the ‘must watch’ interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5n8R9lq8SI

This is God fulfilling the promise of Isaiah 40 to manifest his glory for all the world to see in this the year of Psalm (20) 24….the year/psalm where ‘the king of glory’ enters in!

On further examination I realized the song actually incorporates Isaiah 52 as well. That is where we read, “all the world will see the salvation (as well as the glory) of our God.”

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!””………..The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52‬:‭7, 10‬.‭

All three of these scripture passages resound with the sovereignty of God, for this is the good news being proclaimed on the mountains, that the Satanic mafia that have been at the top of these seven mountains of influence in our world (Government, Education, Media, Family, Religion, Arts and Entertainment, Economy.) are being swept away to make room for a company of Kingdom Overcomers!

In El Salvador, The Savior is ‘laying low’ the mountain of the arrogant ‘kings of this world.’ and ‘raising up’ the valley of the poor and oppressed.

Hallelujah!

P.S. For a second witness to the power of God to transform a nation check out Johnny and Elizabeth Enlow’s new documentary Big God at Restore7.otg

When we moved to the USA I asked Father, “What do you want us to do?’

He answered, “Simply make friends and be friends.“

One of those friends was Joel Lewis. Joel passed from this life a few weeks ago, while we were back in Ireland.

Last Saturday we attended his service appropriately at Sojourn church, for as the painting above conveys he, like Paul on the Damascus road, had received a ‘heavenly vision’ that marked his lifelong quest for ‘the real deal’

His horse has no saddle. None is required for one who connects at a deeper level with God, his creation and his creatures.

Angels accompanied Joel. His wife Kathy.

Then there was the angel that visited Rob Larson when he was convalescing in our home from a back injury he’d sustained working at Joel’s

‘In the end, everything is going to be OK.’ Rob reminded me, was the message the angel brought to him.

Appropriately the two of us were standing in the entrance at Sojourner church looking at Joel’s depiction of Jesus in the storm, peacefully asleep in the boat while the disciples panicked!

I had then taken Rob’s place as Joel’s helper on a project on the farm. Living out in the boonies with he and Kathy for 2 weeks is what sealed the ‘friendship’ deal.

And then there was the angel his daughter Josie saw at his passing, or rather the archangel – Raphael, with a shepherd’s staff. When she mentioned it to us on Saturday I recalled in the Johnny Enlow episode I had linked to in the last blog Raphael was the Archangel assigned to the mountain of Family. Josie also saw an honor guard of angels welcoming this humble servant home, with the affirming words, “You did a good job!”

I remember being struck like the rider, by Joel’s simple prayer at the meal table, “Thank you Lord for your kindness.”

I suppose if that is where your brief Sojourn on this earth leads you to, you have indeed arrived at God’s desired destination.

Joel would often repeat, “You know God has called me to be an artist.’

God called my brother Chris who died one year ago, and my son Ben, to be bards.

Here is Ben singing a song Chris wrote about our mutual friend Coke. Coke drowned tragically at the young age of 18…….but just after he had been….. befriended by Jesus.

The above photo was taken of my mother and father on their wedding day, just before they set out on their honeymoon to Kylemore Abby.

My mother’s name was Anna meaning ‘grace’, and although my father was known to everyone as Gilbert, his first given name was George.

It was the ‘mild mannered reporter’ who first alerted me to the fact that ‘George’ is the name of God our Father. In John 15 he is called ‘the farmer’ which in Greek is ‘georgios’ from which we get the English name George.

On the first night of the Your Smiling Face event in Belfast, the sound was disastrous.

Mags sidled up to me afterwards and whispered. ‘My friend George is in town, I think he might be able to help’

The next morning we arrived to a ‘perfect’ set up – courtesy of George. We had one other meeting that required amplification. Again there was a problem with the sound. Once more – it was George to the rescue.

It was clear it was ‘George’, our Heavenly Father who was taking steps to ensure through his human servant George, that the message he had entrusted to us should be heard loud and clear.🙂

That message had been embraced by Mags at our previous retreat. She was able this time to share her story of how she had been romanced by ‘George’ her Heavenly Father, Here is a snippet of her beautiful testimony…..

She wrote to me just a few days ago…..

‘Paul, whilst journeying backwards over your blogs I came across the post concerning the eclipse on the 8th April and the names of the towns it passed over, we had a surprise back here too that evening….’

The photo is of George holding the baby donkey born on the night that the eclipse passed through the 7 Ninevehs in the US. Unaware of this, the name given to the newborn was ……….Jonah!

Stephen Jon(ah)es wrote in his most recent blog series,”The Two Works of Christ in Acts chapter 1-12.”

‘The clearest illustration of the two works of Christ is set forth by the prophet Jonah. He was given two calls to preach to Nineveh. After his first call, he tried to flee but ended up in the belly of the whale (Jonah 1:17). His experience simulated death and resurrection and so he became a type of Christ in His first coming (Matthew 12:40).

After Jonah’s deliverance, he was called a second time (Jonah 3:1). This time he obeyed and preached to Nineveh. He was successful, the city repented, and it was not destroyed at that time. So also the second work of Christ in our time will see the salvation of the world through the preaching of the word under the power of the Holy Spirit.’

Here is the link to that series….

https://godskingdom.org/blog/series/the-two-works-of-christ-in-acts-1-12/

Johnny Enlow has been delivering a similarly radical biblical message for our time, approaching it from a different angle.

Here is an example from his Unfiltered series on Elijah Streams…..

https://rumble.com/v4pl3pe-johnny-enlow-unfiltered-ep-102.html

I appreciate the rendering of Proverbs 3:5 in the Passion translation, “Trust in the Lord completely and do not rely on your own opinions.”

Having the humility to change our mind/opinion is the ‘supreme virtue’ in our day…….

………when ‘George’ is romancing not just an Anna in Ireland, but that one of Grace as he searches throughout the earth for a bride for his Son.

Enjoy the story that we are a part of in the following song…

As I was finishing this blog the link below flashed across my screen sent by a friend……..I guess Father is finding the bride for his son in some unlikely quarters 😀
