Today is National Medal of Honor Day here in the United States. It is a day when we recognize those soldiers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in battle. The Medal of Honor is our military’s highest award for brave acts of valor and it is normally awarded by the President.
“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”
Jesus speaking in John 15:13
During this time of national crisis, I salute and thank all those who have so bravely laid down their lives, so we can be free. Bravery and courage are at the core of who we are as Americans. We have faced many enemies in our short 244 year history as a country, and Coronavirus is just one more. Let us face this new enemy with the same bravery and courage as those who earned the prestigious Medal of Honor.
Our strength comes from the Lord and He wants us to be strong and courageous. He gives us power to face our enemies head on and overcome them! May the Lord give us the strength and courage we need to overcome this worldwide threat! Nothing is too hard for the Lord and nothing is impossible for Him!
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
“For nothing is impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37
“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
Jeremiah 32:27
The Lord can do all things and He blesses us when we act courageously for righteousness. Please remember to pray for all the doctors, nurses, soldiers, and first responders who are helping the sick and fighting the virus at risk to their own lives. May God protect them, bless them, and give them wisdom as they work to bring healing and save lives. May the Lord protect us all and may He bring a swift end to the virus!
Take heart! God is in control and God does not want us to be afraid. He is with us, even now, and we must be strong and courageous!
“For I am the LORD, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.”
Isaiah 41:13
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”
Jesus speaking in John 14:1
God hears our prayers in Jesus’ Name and He is helping us. Take hold of His hand and do not fear! Trust in Jesus, be strong, and stand firm with a courageous heart! He will give us the victory!
Grace and peace to you all!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
I just saw an awesome commercial on TV from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association that was filled with hope! It was Franklin Graham preaching the Gospel and leading the nation in a prayer to accept Jesus! The ad was letting people know about their 24 hour prayer line. If you need to talk to someone or need prayer, I encourage you to call their ministry team toll-free at 888-388-2683.
Just like Franklin says in the video, we don’t need to be afraid. God loves us and we have great hope in Jesus! I encourage you to pray to accept Jesus by faith today! Jesus loves you and today is the day of salvation!
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Jesus speaking in John 3:16
I am praying for you all in every nation around the world! May the Lord bring blessing, protection, and healing to us all! God is in control, He knows each one of us, and He loves us! Do not fear the virus! Pray, trust God, and be strong for each other! This too shall pass!
Hello everyone and God bless you all! Our family had a great spring break last week, and we are back at it today. My wife and kids will be doing online school from home at least until April 17th now. It was originally only going to be a week after spring break, but due to our Governor’s emergency declaration, they are keeping the schools closed as a precaution against the Coronavirus. We might end up finishing out the school year this way, so this is our temporary new normal until further notice.
It is strange having our routine shaken up. Human beings don’t typically like change. It can be unsettling as we shift gears to make a new routine that works for everyone, and that can be stressful. It has been fairly easy for us because my wife already teaches English to students in China part-time through an online education company. She is all set up to teach her full time classes from the school our kids attend, and she is also providing online lessons to her piano students too. Yes, my wife is a Proverbs 31 hard working woman!

I understand not everyone is set up to work from home online and this time of quarantine and social distancing in our country and around the world is incredibly difficult and stressful. Many people are losing precious time and money while they sit at home unable to work. At the same time, here in America, the democrats in Congress (a.k.a. Pelosi and Schumer) are playing games yet again and causing a terrible delay in releasing the much needed checks to American families. Do you know why that is happening again? Pelosi still wants her money for abortion and now they want money for their socialist green new deal too. They should be ashamed and repent! The bill in the Senate was bipartisan, but Pelosi and Schumer blocked it late last night because of their greed and blood lust for killing babies!
So, while people wonder how they are going to pay their bills, the traitorous democrats withhold our money and people suffer. I pray the Lord provides for all of us and I pray the Lord moves in power and removes all the traitors from our government. I also pray the Lord gives wisdom to our representatives in Congress to do the right thing for we the people.
One great piece of news is that the Malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine and its derivative Chloroquine are being shown as 100% effective in healing Coronavirus! If you listen to the traitorous mainstream media (MSM), you wouldn’t know that because they reported it as “false hope.” The MSM is filled with lying traitors who spread disinformation propaganda 24/7. They don’t want you to know we have an effective cure for the virus and they don’t want to tell the truth about it.
“Chloroquine is an inexpensive, globally available drug that has been in widespread human use since 1945 against malaria, autoimmune and various other conditions.”
-Star Political News, March 18, 2020
Check out these stories about a Doctor in France having a 100% success rate treating Coronavirus patients with Chloroquine, and about a man in Florida who says “the drug touted by Trump saved his life.”
Israel has even sent 6 million doses of Hydroxychloroquine to our country for free and will ship a total of 10 million within the month! God bless Israel, God bless America, and God bless the world! God has provided a cure and it has been proven safe and effective for human use since 1945!
Do not be afraid. God is in control and He has blessed us with deliverance from the Coronavirus! He has given us exactly what we need to fight it and people are being healed! That is real hope indeed, praise God!
This whole thing will be over very soon. Take this time to connect with those you love and seek the Lord. Everything on this earth is temporary, including the virus, but the hope, joy, and salvation of the Lord is eternal! Trust in God. He loves us all and wants all people to come to repentance. He does not want anyone to perish! That is why He died for us!
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9
The real reason we have seen worldwide panic over the virus is because it forces all of us to confront death, and people don’t like talking about death. People don’t like being reminded that we are all fragile and mortal and our time is short. People are scared of death, but we don’t have to be.
“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.”
Jesus speaking in Revelation 3:17
Jesus set us free from the power of sin and death, and anyone who believes in Him will have eternal life! The salvation of our souls is the most precious gift God has ever given us, and we are saved by God’s grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone! There is no other way to be saved!
“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death–that is, the devil–and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”
Hebrews 2:14-15
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Romans 3:23-24
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
You don’t have to be afraid of death anymore! Come to Jesus and find rest for your soul! He will receive you as His own and forgive all your sins!
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9
“for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:13
Why did God do this for us? It’s simple. Because He loves us! God loves you, God loves me, and God loves everyone!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Jesus speaking in John 3:16
Do not live in fear! This time of suffering and panic is temporary, and this too shall pass. Come to know the great freedom that only Jesus Christ can give you! Come to Jesus and be at peace!
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”
Romans 8:1-2
Grace and peace to you all!
P.S.
Here is one of my all time favorite worship songs! Lift your voice to the Lord and give Him praise today!
Today is the first day of spring break for my wife and kids. They will also be home next week doing school online due to the Coronavirus shut down. It is a beautiful sunny 63 degrees here in Colorado today and we are enjoying it! Despite the chaos surrounding the virus, God is still in control like He always has been. Take some time today to remember that and thank God for that truth.
I will be taking time to hang out with my family during our time off, but I will still be blogging. During this time of worldwide panic over the virus, I will do what I always do and point you to Jesus. He is the reason my family and I have peace right now. He is the reason we have peace every day, virus or no virus. The Holy Spirit is a great comfort to all who believe in Jesus and He lives inside of us by God’s power! There is no greater peace than knowing your soul is saved!
“On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”
John 7:37-38
Is your soul thirsty? Only Jesus can quench that thirst! We will all take our last breath someday, and the virus is a stark reminder of our mortality. Only Jesus saves souls and we all need a Savior. We have all sinned and we all need forgiveness. Jesus is the only One who died to forgive our sins and take us to Heaven. He alone is our salvation!
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Romans 3:23-24
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
If you don’t know Jesus Christ, please come to Him today! None of us know when our last breath will be, so we must be ready to go at anytime. You come to Jesus and are saved by faith. Put your faith in Jesus and He will save your soul!
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:13
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
Jesus loves you, He died for you, and He does not want you to perish! Receive His grace, mercy, and forgiveness with an open heart and rest in His salvation! The greatest love of all is from the One who loves your soul! Do not be afraid! Come to Jesus and He will give you peace!
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Romans 5:1
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Jesus speaking in John 3:16
My heart and prayers are with all of you in every nation around the world! The Lord will take care of everything and bring healing to us all!
Grace and peace to you all!

Good morning everyone and God bless you all! It has been a stressful couple weeks for all of us around the world. Fear and anxiety is high and palpable, and the whole world needs prayer. In times like these, we must encourage people to look to the Lord and find their peace in Him. Yesterday, President Trump declared tomorrow, Sunday, March 15, 2020, to be a National Day of Prayer. I completely agree with his righteous and beautiful call to prayer! It is in times like these that we absolutely must humble ourselves, lift our voices to God, and seek His mercy and blessing!
The Lord is in control and nothing happens outside His sovereign will. God is love and He does not want anyone to suffer or perish. He is a God of healing, wonders, and miracles, and nothing is impossible for Him!
“For nothing is impossible with God.”
Luke 1:37
Here is an email I received this morning from Franklin Graham:
“Dear Friend,
Our President has declared tomorrow, Sunday, March 15, to be a National Day of Prayer. He reminded the entire country that throughout its history, the United States has looked to God for strength and protection in times like these.
I am thankful to President Trump for recognizing the power of prayer and showing faith in the Lord to intervene on our behalf. With so much uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus at home and around the world, people are afraid. Now is the time for Christians to be strong and courageous, knowing that Almighty God is with us. As His Word instructs, we are to cast our cares upon Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
We need to pray for those who are sick and their families, for those who are living in fear and anxiousness, for the professionals who are providing medical care, for those working on treatments and a vaccine for COVID-19, and for our leaders to act with wisdom and courage as they make vital decisions that impact each of our lives. Please also lift up the President and our nation’s coronavirus task force headed by Vice President Mike Pence in prayer as they work closely and diligently with the myriad of issues related to this pandemic.
Some churches are not meeting in person for worship this Sunday to avoid possibly spreading the virus. But that doesn’t prevent us as the Body of Christ from coming before the Lord, kneeling in prayer, and pouring our hearts out to Him.
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16).
I ask that you contact your friends and family and ask them to join in prayer tomorrow, whether gathered together in person, or in their homes.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
Franklin Graham
President, Samaritan’s Purse”
May we all look to the Lord for His healing, mercy, and grace! He is our rock and refuge, our fortress and strong tower, and nothing is too hard for the Lord! May we cry out to Him as one on Sunday with humble hearts in sincere reverence and awe!
“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7
“The LORD is my rock, my fortress and
my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take
refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of
my salvation, my stronghold.”
Psalm 18:2
The Lord is already on the move answering our prayers for Congress, as Republicans and Democrats finally came together in the House to pass H.R. 6201: The Families First Coronavirus Response Act. And no, Pelosi did not get her 1 billion dollars for abortion. It is a bipartisan act that blesses our country with the resources we need to fight the virus, praise God!
The Lord is in control and it’s all going to be okay. Remember to keep a good perspective on what is going on with the virus. If you missed my post yesterday, please read “Truth & Perspective On Coronavirus.”
Jesus Christ is Lord and He loves us all! He loves us so much that He died for us to bring us to Heaven! That is the true hope of our human souls, to be loved and to be saved, and we all need God’s love and salvation! If you are looking for peace and rest for your soul, please come to Jesus today! Today is the day of salvation and none of us know what tomorrow will bring. Come to Jesus and He will forgive all your sins and save your soul! His comfort and peace is too beautiful for words. You just have to experience it for yourself and I pray you all do!
“This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
Romans 3:22-24
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:28-30
Looking forward to being unified in prayer with all of you tomorrow for the National Day of Prayer! Trust in the Lord, seek His face, and be at peace. The Lord is good and His love endures forever!
Okay, this whole Coronavirus scare has been totally blown out of proportion. I want to talk to you today about some facts that will give you a better perspective on just how crazy the media is in its fear mongering hypocrisy. I also want to talk about the truth regarding the excellent job Trump has done in protecting our country. Please stop listening to the traitorous lies of the democrats and their liberal media! They are rooting for America to fall and their treasonous hatred is sickening! God is in control and every measure is being taken to fight this disease.
The democrats and the mainstream media tell us and the world that Trump didn’t do anything to protect us and he is doing a horrible job, which is a flat out lie! Trump shut down the borders 40 days BEFORE the virus ever left China and he has done an excellent job mobilizing our country to fight the virus. The democrats said Trump was “racist” for shutting down the borders early, and they are traitors and hypocrites for saying that! Trump’s early and decisive actions protected our country and saved many lives! If he had left the borders open and unprotected like the democrats did, it would have been so much worse! We all need our borders, we need to protect them, and there is nothing racist about it!
Trump will also be speaking from the White House today, 3-13-2020, at 3 P.M. ET. He is expected to declare a national emergency, which will also help mobilize the country and get everyone the necessary supplies to fight the virus.
To give you some much needed perspective, during the H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemic, Obama and Biden waited over 6 months before declaring H1N1 an emergency and they let almost 12,000 people die, including 1,180 kids! Almost 60 million Americans contracted H1N1 and over 265,000 were hospitalized! They did not issue travel bans, they did not protect our borders, and the media did not cause a panic! But the democrats and their liberal lap dog media want to cause a panic about Coronavirus and say Trump is not doing a good job and he is racist for protecting our borders?! Yeah, right, give me a break!
Coronavirus is nothing compared to H1N1! We have very low numbers of people infected and very low numbers of people dying because Trump acted early and decisively to protect our country! There are only about 1,700 cases in America right now with only 40 deaths. The democrats allowed H1N1 to spread through our country like wildfire causing death and destruction for over 6 months before Obama and Biden did anything about it! Traitors! Hypocrites!
The democrats are so treasonous with mouths full of lies it makes me sick! They continue to play politics with the virus and lie about Trump! Just yesterday, Pelosi tried to hide abortion funding in the Coronavirus spending bill! In addition to her traitorous moves, Senate democrats blocked the bipartisan PREP Act, which would have expanded medical professionals’ access to desperately needed respirators and given help to mask manufacturers. It was not controversial, had support from both sides, but democrats blocked it. They are also blocking the payroll tax cut that Trump recommended.
Trump is trying to do the right thing for the country, and the democrats are standing in the way yet again! Pelosi should have never been allowed to hide abortion funding in the spending bill to fight the virus! Unbelievable that she would try to do that at a time like this! What a traitor!
“Speaker Pelosi says the bill is about “testing,” “it’s about seniors and people with disabilities.” But she is hiding something horrific.
Speaker Pelosi tried to slip funding for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry into the Coronavirus (COVID-19) funding bill, trying to circumvent federal law that specifically prohibits direct funding for abortion. We’re talking about a billion dollars in taxpayer funding for abortion under the guise of addressing the Coronavirus.”
-Jay Sekulow, ACLJ
She is trying to get 1 billion dollars for abortion! How sickening and evil! I pray the Lord removes Pelosi and Schumer and any other traitors that need to be removed from power! I pray the Lord gives Trump 4 more years! The Lord is blessing Trump to do an excellent job rebuilding and protecting our country, but nobody would know that listening to the lying mouths of the democrats and the media.
There will be no unity as long as those traitors continue to lie and spread their hate through their disgusting false accusations and lies. I pray the lying democrats led by Pelosi and Schumer will stop playing politics with the virus and come together with Trump and Republicans to help the country! May the Lord spread revival in our country and spread righteousness, truth, and justice through our land! May the Lord have mercy on us and the world, and bring healing and peace to us all!
God is in control, He always has been, and He always will be. Do not fear the virus or the media induced panic. Pray for protection and blessing over our country and the world, pray for our leaders to have wisdom, and pray the Lord stops the virus. If you are worried about your mortality, I suggest finding peace through faith in Jesus Christ. He is the only One who will give you peace through all of life’s challenges and hardships. Our souls are eternal and Jesus is the only One who saves souls. Choose wisely.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Good morning and God bless you all. This post is not for all my blogging friends and family who are supportive and encouraging. This post is in response to some strange and hateful messages I have received lately here on WordPress from bloggers I’ve never met. I will keep this short and direct as this is a message to the haters.
First off, I forgive these people and I pray for them. I am here to preach the Gospel and speak the truth of God’s Word to the world. I am not here to argue with people who want to slander Jesus, God’s Word, or me. I am a man of peace, but I am also a bold warrior, and I am not the one you want to challenge. I am most definitely your huckleberry and I will speak the truth straight to your face.
Be glad I deleted your arrogant and blasphemous comments about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and your arrogant and blasphemous comment about God’s Word. Neither of you are believers in Jesus Christ. I don’t know what you are, but you don’t love Jesus or God’s Word. I suggest you repent of your blasphemy and believe in Jesus. I also suggest you move on from my blog and stop leaving comments. One of these days I might just call your bluff.
Many have tried me, including people I thought were my brothers and sisters in Christ, and they all learned the hard way that I stand up for Jesus and God’s Word with a fierce passion and I don’t back down. Be thankful I have been patient and kind with you in not revealing who you are in the comments section of my blog. Be thankful I did not engage in dialogue with you. Neither of you are prepared for that battle and your arrogant puffed up statements show that. You both act like a young man running around beating his chest right before he gets knocked out by the seasoned fighter.
I am humble and careful with the sword of the Spirit God has given me. God’s Word is nothing to be trifled with, nor is a man of God filled with the Spirit who knows how to wield that sword with the great wisdom and understanding God gave him. I do not put up with false preachers. I have been following Jesus and preaching the Gospel since 1996 and I have dealt with many in my time. If you continue to come on my blog with your lies, blasphemies, and perversions of God’s Word, you will find yourself in the heat of spiritual battle and I am going to cut your false preaching spirits down.
You have been warned and I rebuke your attacks in the Name of Jesus Christ! As Jesus once said: “You snakes! You brood of vipers!” God have mercy on your souls. May you come to know the true joy of salvation that can only be found by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ!
“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?”
Jesus speaking in Matthew 23:33
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
Jesus speaking in John 3:16-18
To my friends and family, thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement! Nothing to be concerned about. When you follow and serve Jesus, you will encounter false preachers, haters, and persecution, but the Lord will always fight for you and give you victory. Just part of the job.
Hello Everyone and God bless you all! I hope you all are doing well after the time change. Losing an hour is never fun and I wish they would just do away with daylight savings. It has been a rough couple weeks since my last blog post on February 27th. I’ve been struggling with Celiac, our daughter got a bad cold, then Coronavirus (COVID-19) arrived in our county here in Colorado, then our community freaked out. After seeing the panic buying at the stores this weekend, I am writing this post to encourage everyone to calm down and stop letting the liberal mainstream media control your mind with fear and panic. God is in control and we must live by faith.
Last Thursday, our Health Department sent out emails and posted on Nextdoor that a woman had gone on a cruise and she brought Coronavirus back here to Douglas County. Over the weekend, we got another message that said there was a guy who went skiing up in Summit County and he had Coronavirus too. He had visited many places, so people at the resorts up in the high country are worried. Then we got another message saying there are 8 cases in the entire state right now and 4 of them are in our county. That is when our community went into full blown panic this weekend and people cleared out the grocery stores. On top of all the fear mongering from the media, people just couldn’t take the stress anymore.
It was totally nuts! All the stores ran out of toilet paper and other essential goods! Can you believe the ridiculous panic the mainstream media causes?! They will do anything to hurt this country with their treasonous and traitorous liberal lies! Their hate for Trump extends to playing politics with a disease and it is shameful!
Through all the panic, God kept my heart calm and I saw no need to rush the stores. We always do our grocery shopping over the weekend and we were running low on toilet paper and our weekly food supply. I told my wife to not worry about toilet paper or anything else. I quoted Jesus where He tells us not to worry in Matthew 6 and reminded my family that the Lord knows what we need and He will provide. I also reminded my wife and kids that God is in control and there is no need to panic.
When my wife got to Costco, they were indeed out of toilet paper and other staple goods like rice and potatoes. She called me and told me how crazy it was at the store. There were people rudely honking at each other in the parking lot and people inside the store were running from aisle to aisle with their big giant Costco carts. What a scene! I told my wife again that God would provide and to just get what she could and come home. She visited Walmart too and it was the same there; no toilet paper, total panic, and many empty shelves. She was able to get everything else we needed despite the chaos and she made it home safely.
We relaxed all day Sunday and let the craziness calm down. We still really needed toilet paper since they were completely out at Walmart and Costco and everywhere else, so I ventured out to Wally World (nickname for Walmart for those of you outside the U.S.) last night. There were a few stragglers like me who came out of their dens after the horde had ravished the stores and we all walked through aisles of empty shelves hoping our product would be there. I went back to the toilet paper aisle and it was almost completely empty. The boxes that hold the TP were all over the place and turned the wrong way, so I went over to the other side. As I rounded the corner, guess what I found? That’s right, God always provides, and I walked right up and grabbed all the toilet paper we needed without any trouble. So glad I trusted God and avoided the panicked mob!
Folks, you do realize the truckers are still trucking and they are not going to stop just because of a virus, especially when that virus is no worse than a bad cold or flu. Stop listening to the lies of the liberal mainstream media and the democrats! They hate our country and Trump so much that they will even play politics with a virus and cause panic to make Trump and our country look bad.
Trump shut down travel and protected our borders weeks early and it’s a good thing he did. Back on February 5th when Trump did that, the democrats accused Trump of being “racist” yet again, and old “I’m just from Brooklyn” Schumer even tweeted that Trump was just closing the borders to “further his ongoing war against immigrants.” What a bunch of filthy lies!
Do you see what I mean by liberal lies?! Schumer is a straight up race baiting liar who seeks to sow division in our country! He was dead wrong for saying that and he knew it was a lie! Closing the borders had nothing to do with racism or an attack on immigrants! Trump is not racist and he never has been, so stop with the constant race baiting hatred of Trump, white people, and America!
After that lie, not only did the democrats not give him credit for doing the right thing in protecting us, they furthered their lie by telling the world that Trump had done nothing and that he was “unprepared” to deal with it. They also lied and said Trump called the virus a hoax when that is not what he said at all! Trump said the way the democrats and the media were lying about him and the virus was the hoax! I called that liberal reporter (from the Washington Post) out on Twitter for starting that lie and we Patriots shut his lie down! I have been preaching the truth hard on Twitter and I’m never backing down! I am so sick of the liberal media and the democrats and their lying mouths! How about you?!
Stop listening to their evil lies, stop panicking, and start trusting in God. God is in control today, He will be in control tomorrow, and He will be in control for all eternity; let the Name of the Lord be praised! We have 4 people with Coronavirus in my town and you don’t see me freaking out. There is no need to rush the stores in a panic because of Coronavirus. There would not have been a problem with supplies this weekend if people had not done that.
Think about that for a moment. We have over 100,000 people in our town and over 300,000 in our county. Everyone was getting the alerts from the Health Department and everyone has been watching the news. Although our county is mostly conservative, the majority of people in our state are democrats now and the majority of them most likely watch lying, hateful, race baiting, and traitorous CNN and MSNBC (Clinton News Network and MSDNC to those of us who live in the truth). Those stations have been doing their best to cause fear and panic regarding the virus, and their propaganda is effective with those who believe their lies. It’s the spiritually blind leading the spiritually blind and it causes great chaos in our country.
I am tired of the fear, panic, and anti-American hatred of the leftist media and the democrats! Trump has done an amazing job at fighting for us and giving us our country back, and I pray people speak the truth about all the good he has done! He has endured endless attacks, lies, and false accusations, but he just keeps fulfilling promises and getting the job done, praise God!
Trump shut down the borders early and protected us, he just signed an 8.3 billion dollar spending bill to fight Coronavirus, and we have all the medical help we need to help our country and even other countries. Trump doesn’t even keep the salary he gets for being President! He always donates it and this time he donated it to fighting the virus. What an amazing President! The man is literally working for us for free, he has rebuilt our economy in only 3 years, given us the lowest unemployment in decades with 7 million new jobs, protected our borders, and strengthened our military, but all the media wants to do is slander him with their lies!
Stop worrying! God has it, He always did, and He always will! God is with us, God is with Trump, and He is blessing him to fulfill the righteous things he needs to do to rebuild, protect, and bless our nation! Stop listening to the lies and start seeking the truth about Trump, our country, the virus, and everything else!
Please listen to the words of Jesus in the verses below, stop worrying like He said, and be at peace. We don’t need to “run after all these things” like unbelievers do. We need to trust God in all things! He will always take care of us, protect us, and provide for us!
“Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or “What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Jesus speaking in Matthew 6:25-34
Amen, Lord Jesus! Thank You for delivering us from fear, anxiety, and worry! May You fill us with Your Holy Spirit and empower us to rest in your peace!
Our daughter is just about over her cold and I am feeling better after fighting off yet another long episode of Celiac. I have missed you all during my break from blogging and I look forward to getting back to reading your blogs too. Thank you for praying for me and my family and thank you for the messages and emails of encouragement many of you sent! It’s all going to be okay. Take the normal precautions like you would during cold and flu season and carry on in peace. You don’t need to live in fear or panic. The Lord is in control and He will take care of everything like He always does.
If you don’t know Jesus, I invite you to come to Him today and find rest for your soul! The peace of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit is more powerful than any worry of this world! Jesus loves you and He died for you, so you could be forgiven and go to Heaven! That is why He died for the whole world! Come to Jesus today and be at peace!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9
“for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

We have seen a lot of snow in February this year. So far, it’s been something like 13 or 14 days of snow. We have also seen some bitter cold days, but thankfully it stopped snowing and it is starting to warm up. It is 45 and sunny today and we are looking forward to the 50s tomorrow and Saturday. The warmer weather is nice and we are definitely ready for spring! I have not been doing well with Celiac and I’m finding it difficult to write. Wanted to share some photos of the beautiful day we are having and give you a Bible verse.
I love the feeling of new hope that spring brings! We can feel it right around the corner and anticipation builds as we look forward to the warm sunny days. Our hope in Jesus is the same, but even greater. We have to keep our hope alive no matter how much hope we have lost due to hardships and setbacks in our lives. You may only have one small speck of hope left, but don’t give it up. We can trust in Jesus and He is our true hope.
He is with us and He will never leave us, even when we feel like all hope is lost and we are forgotten. Even when we feel battered by years of fighting disease and we can feel our life being cut short. At 41 years old after losing 8 years of my life to this disease, I don’t have much hope of a future full of fulfilled dreams, health, or financial success anymore, but I know Jesus is with me and that is a hope that never fades. I know God can do all things and I know He can bless me and heal me at any time. The righteous will live by faith.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
Last week on the 18th, I wrote a post about being shadow banned by Twitter, titled “Communist Style Censorship In America.” Patriots, Christians, and Conservatives are systematically persecuted every day by Twitter. Our nickname for their shadow ban is “Twitter jail.” They do this by censoring our free speech through various technological blocks on our accounts or by suspending or even outright banning us from Twitter. The liberal folks over at Twitter Support saw fit to lock me in their tech jail for about a week because somehow, with no explanation, I had supposedly “violated” their iron grip on free speech. I gave it all to God, stuck with it, and just kept preaching the truth anyway, and I am thankful to say that God has given me the victory! I am free and God defeated the shadow ban! Praise God!
The shadow ban lasted from last weekend until Friday morning, then all the blocks on my account just stopped. After that, my account grew faster than ever, and yesterday the Lord broke through the 5,000 subscribers mark that Twitter was trying to keep me from hitting! That had been a goal since I started Twitter back in August of 2018. Now my account is getting way more impressions and it just keeps growing (5,150 already this morning)!
They should have left me alone, but they just had to mess with a brother. It was a lot of fun watching the Lord at work yesterday. The kids thought it was funny as I ran around the house praising God. My wife even made bison burgers and homemade fries to celebrate! Thank You Jesus!
“Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
“The LORD’s right hand has done mighty
things!”
Psalm 118:15
One important truth to remember about persecution is that God always uses it to advance His Kingdom! We see this truth in God’s Word every time the church was persecuted. The devil and the world cannot stop God, and His purpose will prevail every time!
“Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.”
Acts 8:4
“Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord.”
Acts 9:31
It felt great this weekend to be out of Twitter jail and be able to follow accounts back and click like on tweets like normal. They had been limiting my follow backs to 1 every 5 minutes and I had to log out and log back in to do it. If I tried to follow back 2 people in a row, it would block me and tell me I had hit my limit. Normally you can follow up to 400 people back in one day, one after the other. They had also been taking likes away from my tweets and likes I left on other people’s tweets, and blocking my notifications. It is irritating, but it’s not going to stop me from speaking the truth. I will not be intimidated by some wannabe commie thought police gestapo run by a clearly delusional free speech censoring billionaire who dreams of social control tyranny. However, I will pray for Jack and the liberals who work for him.
That is what they want! They want you to be intimidated and they want you to worry whether or not your comment will be censored. They want you to be afraid and second guess yourself and wonder if you will be banned for your conservative views. They want you to delete that tweet out of fear and they want you to submit to them as they attempt to dictate, censor, and control what you think and say. Can anybody say George Orwell’s 1984? Imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever, indeed! That’s communism right there!
We are not talking about violent speech here, folks. I did not threaten anyone and I was not banned because I had done something wrong. I was placed under a discriminatory shadow ban for almost a week because I preach the Gospel and I speak God’s Truth to power regarding politics and society on Twitter. It was most likely the latter that made them persecute me this time. They despise conservative speech and they are desperately trying to censor and ban us as hate speech. News flash, God’s Word is not hate speech! Preaching the Gospel, fighting atrocities like abortion, and speaking God’s Truth into political and societal issues is not hateful, it is loving and I will share His love boldly.

I will not be bullied, intimidated, or silenced! I don’t give Twitter or their illegal shadow banning a second thought when I’m sending out tweets. Sitting in their jail only served to strengthen my resolve and make my passion for God and my country burn even hotter! I write from a bold heart filled with love and power by the Holy Spirit and I am going to say what I need to say exactly how God wants me to say it, whether they ban me or not! I am a redeemed child of God and a warrior for Jesus Christ and I will not back down, ever, for anybody. Persecuting me will only spread God’s Truth further into the world and no weapon forged against me will prevail! You’ll have to kill me to shut me up, and even then the words that God has written through me will still exist and bear fruit for the glory of God!
If you would like to meet up with me on Twitter and join me in fighting the good fight, I’m at:
We need more Christian Conservative Patriot Soldiers in the fight! Whether it is WordPress, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or wherever God sends you, suit up in God’s Armor and join us! It is an amazing time to be alive and share the Truth of God’s Word and the Good News of Jesus Christ with the world! A time here in America where Patriots from all walks of life are coming together to fight evil with righteousness and show the world that we will not be slaves to a socialist/communist new world order!
To all my brothers and sisters who have been persecuted by the social media corporations for your belief in Jesus, your stand on God’s Word, and having Conservative Patriot values, keep fighting and don’t give up! You are not alone! We are all in this together and God is with us in power and victory! Keep your eyes on Jesus and keep speaking the truth! Jesus already won the war and He will be coming back in great power and glory very soon!
“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.”
