North Koreans 'forced to give up pet dogs for restaurant 8-17-20, Sky.com -- Reportedly people in North Korea are being forced to give up their pet dogs so they can be used as dog meat for restaurants. The move by the leader Kim Jong Un is thought to be aimed at appeasing rising discontent among the public amid a dire economic situation in the secretive country, including food shortages and famine. | In July 2020, according to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper, North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un has issued a ban on dogs for pets. He denounced it as "a tainted trend by bourgeois ideology. Authorities have identified households with pet dogs and are forcing them to give them up." Some dogs are being sent to state-run zoos or sold to dog meat restaurants. Dog meat is traditionally popular in China and on the Korean Peninsula, although consumption is on the decline in South Korea. |

[..] This is being done at the expense of law abiding citizens & business owners who have been decimated by the destruction caused by the anarchists. --> | <-- The Democrats are forsaking those most affected by the violence and defending the guilty law breaking thugs funding their release to exact more destruction. It's a slap in the face to the victims; and it is fully sanctioned by the Democrat Party. Ms Kamala Harris’s has supported donations to the cause releasing the rioters through "Act Blue," the fundraising arm of the DNC; the Democrats fully own their support of the anarchists looting & torching America. |
Abraham Accords Between Israel & United Arab Emirates
"They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
8-16-20, John Haller of Fellowship Bible in Ohio in this week's prophecy update explains in great detail the significance and the potential impact of the new historical agreement in the Jewish Nation of Israel with the United Arab Emirates [UAE]. While there are numerous worldwide events that have occurred during the past week that have prophetic significance, this one stands out from the confusion. The potential that the agreement between the UAE and Israel may be the modern "Archduke of Ferdinand" moment that could trigger a series of clashes predicted in Scripture between Israel and her very few allies.
"Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make My people err, that bite with their teeth and cry, "Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him." Micah 3:5

I'll Fly Away!

Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,

When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Portland Rioters Surround Car and Driver Shoots His Way Out 7-9-20, PJMedia -- Every night for the past six weeks in Portland, Oregon, the anarchist group calling themselves "Antifa" and Black Lives Matter rioters, looters and vandals have turned what used to be a nice neighborhood in downtown into a war zone. Portlanders are sick of it. The police commissioner/ mayor and the new BLM-approved police chief have done little about it. The Portland Police Officers Association held a scathing news conference, issuing a no-confidence throw down to City Hall and begging elected officials to stop defending the criminal violent marauders ... Antifa. | Some Law Abiding Citizens Taking Matters into Their Own Hands! In the early hours of July 9, 2020, a person driving a white car in downtown Portland was surrounded by rioters who demanded that the driver “get off the f*cking road!” Within seconds multiple shots were fired in the from the car. No one was hit and Portland police didn’t respond to the shooter. More than $23 million in damage has been done to downtown businesses since the Antifa and BLM insurrection began. Vandalism is everywhere.

Seventieth Day in Portland the Anarchist Rioters chant:
"Every city, every town, burn the precincts to the ground!"
And with the approval of liberal leftist politicians = DEMOCRATS
Two Grannies attacked ...
8-7-20, Blaze.com -- On the 70th night of left-wing anarchist protests in Portland, Oregon the mob decked out in dark clothing and helmets attacked the city's East Precinct. They were met with opposition ... a pair of old ladies. One elderly woman pleaded with the group to stop the vandalism and stood in the way of those who were splashing paint on the plywood outside the building. Instead, they splashed paint on her too. | When she began yelling back at the rioters, one of them wrapped yellow crime-scene tape around her head. The unidentified grandma hollered at the crowd "we died for you!" From the mob a female voice can be heard yelling: 'Put on your mask, bitch!" Then one of the criminals towering over her by a foot — rushed back and got in her face, leaned down yelling at her: "This isn't your world anymore." |
The reality is, these criminals are right; this old woman’s sense of virtue, honor, respect for law and plain humanity no longer have a place in the “new world” lawless rioters are creating with the approval of governors, mayors and too many police. All Democrats.
Consider the numerous governors right now, in concert across these United States, that have assumed powers not allowed them by the terms of their office and misuse the police power to enforce their unlawful edicts, mandates and orders that destroy the livelihood, businesses, property of the law-abiding Americans.

Up to half of Iowa's corn yield may be lost due to 'Derecho' Storm ...
8-10-20, DesMoines, Iowa 'Register' -- Approximately a third of Iowa's 30 million acres of corn crops — acreage typically split between corn and soybeans in Iowa, the nation's largest corn producer has been destroyed by the high winds of the recent 'derecho' storm.
On Aug 10, 2020 Monday evening, a violent, fast-moving thunderstorm complex known as derecho tore a 700-mile path from Nebraska to Indiana. Winds over 70 mph battered Chicago and more than 300,000 people were without power in northern Illinois as well as Iowa, the state hardest hit. The destructive storm affected more than 10 million acres of Iowa’s corn and soybean crop, devastating farmers and capping off what has already been a difficult few years. Up to 43 percent of the Iowa’s corn and soybean crop has suffered damage from the storms that brought gusting winds exceeding 100 miles per hour, a severe blow to a $10 billion industry that’s central to the Hawkeye State’s economy. Corn is typically harvested in Iowa between late September and mid-October. More WashPost here | 8-10-20, DesMoinesRegister -- U.S. Dept of Agriculture reports that: "We saw the worst of the wind here in Iowa. "Nearly every acre of corn is affected in some way or another. Although Iowa's damaged soybean crop may still recover." An ISU crop specialist reported that growers will have to decide within the next couple of weeks whether they will try to harvest the corn crop as forage to feed to animals, or if it's healthy enough to harvest for grain, Yields for the damaged corn, he said, could be 100 to 150 bushels per acre. Iowa corn growers were expected to average 202 bushels per acre, a Department of Agriculture forecast Wednesday said. The report was based on conditions through Aug. 1, 2020. Many farmers will need to turn to insurance to help cover their losses. More here |
Kamala Harris not that exciting to Genuine African American Voters - 'the anti-black pick' 8-12-20, BizPacReview -- Recently, Ari Fleischer, former Pres Bush White House spokesman, in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham hours after Joe Biden the Democrat presidential nominee announced his selection of California Senator Kamala Harris, he noted that during the primaries she failed to excite a base of voters, including African-Americans. He said, “The real brutal result came at the hands of primary voters who really rejected her everywhere she ran. She really found no constituency, no base. She wasn’t exciting to anybody.” | Harris Isn’t African American, She’s Jamaican Indian ... 8-13-20, ConservativeDailyPost -- Dem Calif Senator Kamala Harris isn’t African American. Joe Biden ‘chose’ a woman whose family held slaves on their Jamaican plantation… and now African American voters are being told that this is their “Black” candidate for VP; but her mother was from India, and her father from Jamaica. These Americans who are Jamaican/Indian typically don’t go around pretending to be black. Ali Alexander — of half African extraction himself noted: “Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican. I’m so sick of people robbing American Blacks (like myself) of our history. It’s disgusting.” | Flashback: In Feb 2019 CNN's Don Lemon Asks If Kamala Harris Is Black ... 8-13-20, Breitbart -- While many Democrats and Harris’s supporters lashed out at those questioning whether Harris was “African American,” CNN host [black] Don Lemon posed the question himself in February 2019. Lemon was debating April Ryan when he said: “Latino people are people of color, but they’re not Black. They’re Brown people. OK? ... All she had to do was say, ‘I am Black, but I’m not African American. ... Jamaica is not America. Jamaica did not come out of Jim Crow. I’m just saying.” |

Baptism: Identifying with Christ
"As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
8-13-20, Pastor Charles Stanley -- The Lord Jesus Christ began His public ministry with baptism. At the time, John the Baptist was calling people to confess their sins and demonstrate repentance through immersion in the river. So why did Jesus, the sinless One, ask to be baptized? At first, John actually refused, knowing Christ was the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). But Jesus wasn't demonstrating repentance; He was sacrificially identifying with sinful humankind. As Christians, we're called to follow His example in all things, becoming more like Him as we grow in our faith. That's why baptism is the first step in following Jesus. As He was willing to identify Himself with us, we publicly identify with Him when we're baptized, which is a symbolic way of declaring: --> | <-- "I have trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior and believe that the debt of my sin is fully paid through His sacrifice. I believe that as He rose from the dead, I will also be resurrected through Him. I look forward to walking in God's will while I'm on the earth and living with Him throughout eternity. Since He loved me enough to identify Himself with me in my sin, I will show my love for Him by following His example right now, and for the rest of my days." Baptism demonstrates our connection not only with Christ, but also with our spiritual brothers and sisters--past, present, and future. We're joining everyone who has walked before us in faith, saying that we are members of one body, redeemed and brought to life by the same Lord.

Israel & United Arab Emirates [UAE] Peace Deal - Israel’s Judea & Samaria [West Bank] Annexations On Hold
Officials from the three countries called the accord “historic breakthrough toward peace.”
8-13-20, Reuters, Dubai - Jerusalem - Washington -- On August 13, 2020 Israel and the United Arab Emirates [UAE] announced that they will normalize diplomatic ties and forge a broad new relationship, which U.S. President Donald Trump helped broker. A move that reshapes the order of Middle East politics from the Palestinian issue to the fight against Iran. Over the past two decades, the United Arab Emirates with an area of appx 32,000 sq miles and a population of less than 10 million [but the Arab world’s second-largest economy thanks to oil] has exerted growing commercial and military clout in the Gulf and the wider region; much of it aimed at confronting Islamist militants and the influence of Iran. Israel population is approximately 9 million with a land mass of appx 8,000 sq miles. Israel and the UAE are expected to soon exchange ambassadors and embassies. A signing ceremony is due to be held at the White House. | Under the new ABRAHAM ACCORD, the Jewish nation of Israel [the only non Muslim nation in the Middle East] agreed to suspend its planned annexation of areas of Judea & Samaria [aka West Bank]. It also firms up opposition to regional power Iran, which the UAE, Israel and the United States view as the main threat in the conflict-driven Middle East. In 1979 Israel signed peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan in 1994. However, the UAE, along with most other Arab Islamic nations, did not recognize Israel and had no formal diplomatic or economic relations with it until now. It becomes the first Gulf Arab country to reach such a deal with the Jewish state. Some Muslims in Israel [aka Palestinian] denounced it as a “stab in the back” to their cause. |
- In a televised address Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal would lead to “full and formal peace with the UAE hope that other countries in the region would follow its example.”
- Senior UAE official Anwar Gargash said the deal had helped defuse what he called a ticking time-bomb urging the Israelis and Palestinians to return to the negotiating table.
- President Trump’s special envoy Brian Hook called the agreement a “nightmare” for Iran.
- An Iranian official, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a tweet: “Abu Dhabi’s behavior has no justification, turning back on the Palestine cause. W/ that strategic mistake, #UAE will be engulfed in Zionism fire.”
- President Trump said, “Everybody said this would be impossible. Now that the ice has been broken, I expect more Arab and Muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates’ lead.”
France Ruled Lebanon from 1920 to 1946
Islam Has Ruled 74 years; but now the PEOPLE want France Back!
Amir Tsarfati: Middle East Update: Will Lebanon get rid of Hezbollah? 8-10-20, From Israel Christian Amir Tsarfati discusses the events in Lebanon since the 8-4-20 explosion. French President Emanuel Macron has visited and the Lebanese citizens welcomed him with open arms - apparently they want the French to rule them again ... they won independence in 1946 when the Muslims took over... Amir reports that the explosion was caused by a 'work accident' of Hezbollah. The People of Lebanon are furious and want Hezbollah out of the country!! See 54 min video here | 60K Sign Petition for France to Rule Lebanon 8-7-20, Newser -- Signed by thousands; Lebanese petition says: "We believe Lebanon should go back under the French mandate in order to establish a clean and durable governance."

8-8-20, WashPost -- PARIS — It was almost as if Emmanuel Macron forgot that Lebanon is no longer a French protectorate; Muslims won independence in 1946. The French leader was quick to head coordination of humanitarian aid and visited Lebanon only two days after explosion on Aug 4, 2020. He was cheered, hugged and loved by the adoring crowds as he comforted the distraught.
Progressives & Liberal Leftists Must Destroy American History to Complete Their Revolution 7-22-20, WashTimes -- The liberal leftist leaders in America support the insurrection and rioting of the anarchists destroying American statues, icons, historical monuments as they loot and burn our cities. Similarly ... early on a July morning in 1918, the emperor of Russia, Nicholas Romanov and the six members of his immediate family were executed by the Bolsheviks.This July, 2020 in towns across the United States, statues in public spaces have been dragged from their pedestals and destroyed or otherwise disposed of. What do these events have in common? That’s easy. The Bolsheviks killed the Romanovs for the same reason rioters were guided to destroy statues. In both instances, the things destroyed were physical manifestations of the idea that history, lived and shared experience and values mean something to a culture and civilization. That idea is directly contrary to the worldview born in the “Enlightenment” in the 18th century that holds that reason alone is the pathway to all truth, and that experience, tradition, history, values, religion, etc. are impediments to their idea of "progress." | The Left Will Destroy America to Regain Power 6-11-20, AmerThinker -- “Badges? We don’t need no stinkin' badges.” Defunding the police is all the rage. The left is desperate. The lockdowns, Russiagate and impeachment failed to rid them of Donald Trump. Hence, now the rollout of their militia, Antifa with new uniforms and advanced tactics and Black Lives Matter [BLM] as propagandists. Using Antifa and BLM now is also great practice -- call it wargaming for November 2020 election. Because if the Democrats cannot steal the election “fairly,” they will burn this country to the ground. [..] The riots will eventually cease, but Americans would be foolish to think this is over. Between illegals voting, fraudulent voting & stealing votes, the election in November is compromised before it even happens. That's why the "Left" is adamant that Pres Trump doesn't call out regular troops or nationalize the guard to halt the rioting. They know if they can stop him now, it will be hard for him to ever deploy forces. And troops would put a halt to this nonsense immediately. The only thing that can beat them and their insidious plans is “Law and Order.” Deploying troops will stop this anarchy and make it easier come November when they will be needed to safeguard the election... |
God Has Bestowed Special Gifts to His Children for THEIR Task
... Many 'Parts' One Body in Christ
"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint."
1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Isaiah 40:30-31 8-12-20, Are you sickened and despondent with the current conditions in the USA: the phony numbers of victims of the Covid virus lockdown that’s destroying our economy, the anarchists rioting destroying our cities, the liberal leftists in media and government trying to destroy our president and the ever so tiring mantra and lies being spewed in the lead up to the next presidential election? Well, America is on the brink of total destruction; we need to consider the following message: * --It's pretty clear to me God sends unique people to be "war leaders." That's a different role from a pastor or church leader; and He sends rescuers in many forms: Once upon a time during a monsoon rain storm, a nice, humble and devout Christian man, named Bill, was stuck on his roof because of massive flooding up to the 2nd floor. A rowboat came but Bill said, "No, I'm waiting for God. I prayed and I know he's coming." A 2nd rowboat came but Bill again said, "No, I'm waiting for God." Then a 3rd rowboat, but he declined again saying, "No, I'm waiting for God." Alas, the water rose and Bill drowned. In Heaven he asked God: "Where were you God? I prayed. I was faithful. I asked you to save me. Why would you abandon me?" God replied: ‘Bill, Who do you think sent the three rowboats?’ | There may still be Americans who object to the rough edges of Donald Trump and hesitate to support him; but now is not the time for a nice humble Christian or a typical Republican powder puff to lead the USA through the horrors now upon us. Perhaps the Lord God almighty has sent us a strong fighter; a warrior for such a time as this. [Esther 4:14] Clearly God understands we need a "war leader" at this moment in time. Maybe America is dead if a strong man - who loves America - doesn't win this election. Until the Covid virus lockdown began destroying America’s economy – America under President Trump’s guidance -- was on the mend and horrific regulations were removed. Donald John Trump may be God's perfect creation to save America like in the Bible's Old Testament: “the LORD gave Israel a savior [King Jehoahaz], so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians:” 2 Kings 13:5 Maybe the Lord has given the USA a savior in Donald trump to save the nation from under the hand of the anarchists and liberal leftist Democrats who are destroying the nation. He isn’t perfect, but he’s a patriot capitalist and a warrior who loves America. He’s the perfect warrior to retain American exceptionalism, capitalism and Judeo-Christian values. It's the 4th quarter and we're losing 14-0. We need a miracle. I believe Pres Trump is our miracle "rowboat" sent from almighty God. We must again vote Trump on Nov 3, 2020 ... or it's the end of the American dream. |

7-1-19, WND.com -- Leftist Democrats are excited about California Democrat Sen. Kamala Harris running for vice president; she looks like a black female, but she's not African American. The term typically refers to current descendants of black people from Africa who were enslaved in early America. Harris is half Jamaican and half Indian. And her father says their ancestors owned slaves. More here
Ms Harris is trying to play the race card saying she was only black person on stage at a Democrat debate and tried to portray Joe Biden as a racist [but she's Jamaican not black]. She said, "It's personal and it was actually very hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country," Harris said, referring to praise Biden had given segregationists he worked with in Congress. "It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day." [..] | And the anti Semitic crowd of anarchists in Antifa aren't gonna like her support of the Jewish State of Israel.

Isn't It Ironic?
8-12-20, Simon Black -- Does anyone else find this ironic that in the age of #MeToo and BLM, the most ‘woke’ [1] political party in the Land of the Free has chosen a guy with multiple sexual misconduct allegations as its presidential nominee; and a lady who locked up countless black people (many for victimless crimes) as its vice presidential nominee? Sexual misconduct accusations about Joe Biden are pretty much endless. At a minimum it’s seriously creepy. FLASHBACK: Kamala Harris Said She Believed Biden's Rape Accuser ...https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/11/flashback... 8-12-20, The Federalist -- Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden's running mate, said last year that she believes the women who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault. Ms Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's pick for VP running mate; back in 2011 when she was California's District Attorney, the US Supreme Court ordered the California to release 33,000 prisoners, because its prison system was ‘unconstitutionally’ overcrowded. Harris' office pushed back claiming that prison inmates (who are predominantly minorities) were cheap labor and needed to help fight wildfires. Her record as CA DA involved:
| ![]() <-- That alone should be the deciding factor… I have hundreds of employees and every single person was put in their position solely because they’re the most qualified. And that’s supposed to be the priority when you hire someone… at least, in a normal, rational world. However, our world is not rational; and hiring someone based on qualifications is no longer a priority. Joe Biden’s campaign highlighted this new priority of the day when he decided from the outset that his running mate must be a black female, effectively eliminating 93% of the population from consideration for the job. [Kamala is not black she's Jamaican.] Everything else (including actual qualifications for the job) comes second. Sadly now in America:

Seattle's Black Woman Police Chief Carmen Best Quits ... over budget cuts ... Reduction in Officers & THEIR Protection 8-12-20, CSMonitor -- Seattle Washington's City Council members and residents alike criticized Police Chief Carmen Best for the department’s response to riots and violence as officers were forced to used tear gas, blast balls, pepper spray and other less-lethal weapons. The council claimed it was indiscriminate and at times without provocation with a federal judge restraining their use. Chief Best insisted that officers had a right to defend themselves. | U.S. Attorney General William Barr also lamented Ms. Best’s departure: “This experience should be a lesson to state and local leaders about the real costs of irresponsible proposals to defund the police.” The council recently voted to cut the department’s current $400 million budget by approximately 1% that was described as a down payment on more ambitious cuts – including removing 911 dispatch from the department and other changes ... also reducing Chief Best's salary ...

Jesus Stands at the Door & Knocks
...if anyone hears His voice & opens the door, He will come in to them.. Let us rejoice giving glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come & His bride has made herself ready."
Revelation 3:20; Matthew 24:1-4 8-11-20, As we study God's precious word focusing on prophesy and the Lord Jesus words about His second coming ... surely He is at the doors! The cry ‘the Lord comes’ then all the virgins woke up & trimmed their lamps. At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' The foolish ones took their lamps, but did not take any extra oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. While the five went to buy oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were prepared went in with Him to the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Matthew 25:1-4, 7-8, 10 | Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when He will return ... that when He cometh and knocketh, they may open unto Him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when He cometh shall find watching.” The Lord Jesus said to: "PRAY & WATCH" Mark 13:33, 37; Luke 12:35-37 The apostle John’s vision: He "saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 3:20, 19:7, 21:2 |

According to a July 2010 article by the Washington Post Ombudsman, the Post received numerous complaints from readers about their lack of coverage of the story, and agreed that the case deserved more coverage than it received and would be given more in the future. |
Election Day 2008: Black Panthers Blocking Door At Polling Place 11-4-08, FreeRepublic -- In PA the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case was a political controversy in the United States concerning an incident that occurred during the 2008 election. Two weeks before George W. Bush left office, the New Black Panther Party and two of its members, Minister King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson, were sued by the Department of Justice on claims of voter intimidation for their conduct outside a polling station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. | The Obama Dept of Justice later narrowed the charges against Minister King Shabazz and dismissed the charges against Jackson, the New Black Panther Party and its leader. The dismissals led to accusations that the Obama administration's Dept of Justice was biased against white victims and unwilling to prosecute minorities for civil rights violations. These charges were most notably made by J. Christian Adams, who in May 2010 resigned his post in the Dept of Justice in protest over the Obama administration's alleged mishandling of the case, and by his former supervisor Christopher Coates. |
Handling Difficult Circumstances
The Apostle Paul said: "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."
Philippians 3:8-11 8-10-20, Dr Charles Stanley -- The apostle Paul understood how to handle tough circumstances. Even while he was confined in a prison cell, he kept his eyes on Christ and firmly trusted in the Savior. Therefore, despite being in chains, he was able to celebrate the Lord’s work in his life. In fact, the epistle he wrote from jail to the Philippians was filled with rejoicing (Philippians 1:18, 2:18, 3:1). While undergoing terrible trials focusing on Christ is neither a natural reaction nor an easy one. Our instinct is to dwell on the situation at hand, searching for solutions or stewing over the pain and difficulty. As a result, troubles look scary and overwhelm us with a sense of defeat. However, fear and defeat cannot live long in a heart that trusts the Lord. --> | <-- I’m not saying you’ll forget what you’re going through, but you can choose to dwell on His provision and care instead. The Lord Jesus is the Deliverer (2 Cor. 1:10). He is the Healer (Deut. 32:39). He is the Guide (Prov. 3:6). The believer who lays claim to divine promises discovers that God pushes back negative emotions. In their place, hope, confidence, and contentment take up residence (Phil. 4:11). You aren’t going to be happy about a difficult situation, but you can be satisfied that God is in control and up to something good in the midst of trouble. The Lord’s principles and promises don’t change, no matter how severe or painful our situation may be. If you focus on Christ instead of the circumstances — God will comfort your heart giving you peace as you go through the trial. Then you can answer Paul’s call to “rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4; Hebrews 9:22) |
Police Demand to Know Identity & Destination
Refuse? Windows Broken Out & Dragged from Cars~!
Number of Covid Deaths? 313 in nation of 25 million
Police officers and soldiers patrol enforcing fresh, sweeping restrictions imposed including 8 pm curfew
8-2-20, Guardian -- Australia's leader Premier, Daniel Andrews, announced that from 6 pm on Sunday, residents in the Melbourne metropolitan area would be under curfew for six weeks until 13 September...

8-7-20, Victoria Australia has adopted some of the strictest coronavirus rules anywhere in the world, including an 8 p.m. curfew and police roadblocks to discourage any citizens with pesky notions about personal freedom. Police are even allowed into your home to carry out spot checks — without a warrant and without your permission. One or two Australians are resisting and Victoria’s Police Commissioner Shane Patton is responding with the full force of the law. Police report: “We had to smash car windows and pull people out because they wouldn’t give us details… they wouldn’t tell us where they’re going,” declared a senior Australian policeman dressed from head to toe in black.
No, this is not a scene from a prequel to Mad Max where Australia gets taken over by fascists.
This is actually happening right now in the Australian state of Victoria, under the regime of power-crazed, hard left premier Daniel Andrews. (Or ‘Kim Jong Dan’, as he is known locally... “Groups of people who classify themselves as ‘sovereign citizens’ — whatever that might mean — people who don’t think the law applies to them: we’ve seen them at checkpoints baiting police, not providing their name and address.”
So presumably, in order to justify these extreme measures, the state of Victoria must be experiencing an exceptional, indeed, unprecedented crisis? No.
Not even remotely - the state of Victoria has had only 162 deaths attributed to coronavirus. Even in the whole of Australia the total was only 247.
To put this into perspective - less than half the number of people who die in Australia annually from skin diseases and about one-fifth of the number killed in car accidents have succumbed to the Covid virus. More here
