Deception and Delusion from the Author of Confusion

APOSTASY AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

Kentucky Student’s Diploma Temporarily Withheld After Praising Jesus in Graduation Speech.

‘Pastor’ Claims Jesus Would Bless ‘Loving Kindness’ of ‘Those Who End Pregnancies.’ A female “pastor” (who has bragged about killing two of her children in abortions) preached that, if Jesus were giving his Sermon on the Mount today, he might add, “Blessed are those who end pregnancies, for they will be known for their loving kindness.”

‘Pastor’ dressed as a Jedi claims “Pride” and “the theology of Broadway” are big seasons of their liturgical calendar; he compared Jesus with Star Wars. The “pastor” of University “Christian” Church, where LGBT pride colors are displayed, also said the more he’s grown in his faith, the less he sees God as divine and more as a connection.

‘Eco-Theology’: Latest Departure from The Faith. Excerpt from the Harvard Divinity Bulletin: “This course surveys constructive religious reflection, drawn from a variety of religious and spiritual traditions, that is informed by an ecological worldview and accountable to various forms of environmental activism.

We Live in a Day and Age Where Soundness of Doctrine Is No Longer a Priority. Look at 2 Timothy 2:15: “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” But how can you rightly divide the Word of Truth unless you know the truth? And how can you know it unless you study it? Jesus said to the Pharisees, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29).

AND THE NATURE-WORSHIPING GLOBALIST AGENDA/RUSE

California Hypocrisy: Thousands of Joshua trees being shredded to make room for solar panels. The natural world is being destroyed to cater to “green” energy.

Islands climate alarmists said would be sunk by climate change are still same size or growing.

Australia: “Managed retreat”: scheme to take homes and replace with “smart” cities, using exaggerated modeling of “climate change” effects to designate areas as uninhabitable.

ISLAM INCURSION AND HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL

Muslim terrorists used a baby in a suicide bombing. Coordinated suicide attacks claimed the lives of at least 18 people in Nigeria on Saturday. To Islamic terrorists, formerly fresh ideas like suicide donkeys, burning people alive in cages, and beheading multiple people on video apparently grew repetitive and tiresome. In Nigeria (where Muslim genocide against Christians is ignored by the Biden regime, media, and the ceasefire crowd), terrorists came up with a new idea. A Muslim woman with a baby strapped to her back detonated explosives in the middle of a wedding ceremony.

Terror Attack at Israeli shopping mall. Two off-duty Israeli soldiers were stabbed; one later died after managing to shoot the terrorist dead. The other soldier is in serious condition.

Reprobate Delusion of the ‘Palestine’ Supporter. Those who hate the Jewish State consistently accuse Israel of actions they themselves commit or desire to commit. These anti-Israel claims line up precisely with Isaiah 5:20: “Woe unto those that call evil good and good evil.”

University of Minnesota president agreed to terms to end anti-Israel protests without understanding the language – inclusion of an Arabic word justifying violence against Israel.

Crazy antisemite, Roger Waters, denies 10/7 atrocities. The English singer, known for his constant pro-Palestinian stance, denied in an interview that babies were burned and women raped on Oct 7th, claiming, “There’s no evidence.” What planet is he on? Even liberal-left CNN reported these atrocities, also the liberal-left BBC in England.

PERVASIVE PERVERSION

Lesbian Witches Procreating in Disney+ Series, ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte.’ The Acolyte will use the imaginary “force” to create children from lesbians.

Disney Marketing Director Reveals Plans to Expose Children to More LGBTQ Content. Amit “Genie” Gurnani, Disney’s marketing director by day and drag queen by night, revealed Disney’s LGBTQ agenda for children. A “pride campaign across Disney and TV” is set to “take up… the next 4 or 5 months.”

San Francisco Pride Parade features public nudity around kids; ‘Fetish Zone’ with urine. Nude adults in front of children; a “Fetish Zone” with men urinating on each other in a kiddie pool and performing other sex acts. Reporters posted graphic footage on X of the annual event that receives millions in donations from corporations and civic organizations.

Homosexual Montana judge strikes down law that affirms biological definitions of male and female.

AND THE ABORTION ABOMINATION

Planned Parenthood staffers laugh on 911 call for woman bleeding after abortion. She suffered a perforated uterus.

INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND

2 Chick-fil-A employees killed by illegal immigrant in Irving, Texas.

A 12-year-old child was sexually assaulted and killed by two illegal immigrants in Harris County, Texas, who’d been detained then released by Border Patrol weeks before. The Democrat-leaning county has been dubbed a sanctuary for criminals.

7 Hispanics Shot, Including 4 Children, By Neighbor. He then killed himself, but the victims survived. Investigators are looking for a motive; however, there was a history of disputes.

US Marshals recover 200 missing children across US during ‘Operation We Will Find You 2’ during the course of a six-week national sting that ended last week. 173 were endangered runaways, 25 were considered missing, a family member abducted one, and one was a non-family abduction. The youngest was 5 months old.

LAST DAYS TRAITORS AND THE DELUDED

Biden administration is withholding transfers of seven weapon systems to Israel.

It’s Hard to Be Proud of America, given where we find our country today. Even though we’ve seen some recent moving away from the Marxist-Maoist Democrat Party’s communist agenda and plan to transform America into something despicable, foreign, and conquered, it’ll be for naught as long as people keep embracing corrupt politicians.

Bizarre things happening in “new normal” everywhere, including UK politics. Whatever happens in the coming election, Britain will have a communist government.

Leftists riot in France after Right-wing election victory. Paris became a war zone June 30th as tens of thousands of left-wing rioters showed fiery opposition to the historic victory by the right wing.

AND THEIR DELIBERATE BORDER DISORDER

300,000+ illegal immigrants from Haiti granted ‘temporary amnesty’ by Biden administration.

PLAGUE, PESTILENCE…

Here we go… Moderna receives $176 million to accelerate development of pandemic bird flu vaccine for humans following an outbreak in dairy cows. 12 states have had outbreaks in 136 total cattle herds. Three cases of spreading to humans have occurred during the outbreak. The federal money will go to late-stage development of an mRNA-based vaccine using similar technology as the Covid vaccine and to accelerate responses to similar future public health threats. CDC says the “current risk to the general public from bird flu viruses is low,” but geographic spread of the dairy cow infection could create “additional opportunities for people to be exposed.”

Both Pfizer and Moderna have expanded the mRNA pipeline through a catch-all label they refer to as “pandemic influenza,” which can be identified as any current or future influenza-labeled “pandemic.” And the federal government is very much on board. So if the Bird Flu scare isn’t potent enough, they can simply rebrand their latest mRNA injection as a groundbreaking remedy and/or cure to [insert your respiratory illness here].

U.S. Confiscates Enough Fentanyl to Kill Population of 5 Biggest States – Just in June. In one month, enough deadly fentanyl came into the U.S. to kill between 54 and 127 million Americans. And that’s just what we caught.

Inside Chinese Money-Laundering Network Fueling America’s Fentanyl Crisis. Mexican drug cartels are harvesting untold billions of dollars selling drugs in North America. The pill of the moment is fentanyl, which kills about 70,000 people a year in the U.S. Chemicals to make fentanyl come from China.

West Nile fever cases rise to ‘outbreak’ level in Israel. 153 Israelis have been diagnosed with the virus. At least 11 have died. The risk of contracting the virus is currently particularly high in and around Tel Aviv due to its central location and high humidity, which attracts mosquitos.

AND THE PLANNED-DEMIC

CDC Recommends New Covid Vaccines for Everyone Age 6 Months and Older.

ECONOMIC AND FOOD INSECURITY

High Cost of Groceries. A typical U.S. household must now spend $1,069 more a month to buy the same goods and services as three years ago, almost an extra $13,000 dollars in a year. Prices keep going higher, but those running things continue to insist everything is fine.

It Now Takes an Annual Income of at Least $186,000 a Year for Americans to Feel Financially Secure, according to a new survey. Only 6% of U.S. adults make that kind of money.

BIDENOMICS: John Deere to Lay Off Hundreds in Midwest as Production Moves to Mexico. The leading global seller of tractors and crop harvesters announced another round of layoffs due to collapse in demand and slowing U.S. economy. Approximately 610 production staff in Illinois and Iowa plants will lose their jobs by end of summer; all layoffs will take effect August 30.

WEATHER EVENTS

Hurricane Beryl is the earliest-forming Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record. It rapidly intensified into a Cat 5 and made landfall in the Caribbean as a Cat 4. As of July 5, 12 fatalities have been confirmed, and preliminary damage estimates are over $5 billion. Beryl made landfall on Mexico’s Caribbean coast Friday as a Cat 2 and weakened as it moved across the Yucatan. It is forecast to approach the Texas coast and northeastern Mexico Monday as a strong Cat 1 with 90 mph winds, potentially higher depending on how it reorganizes/strengthens once it moves fully over the Gulf of Mexico. The entire Texas coast lies within the hurricane center’s potential forecast over the next 5 days. The Lt. Governor proactively issued disaster declarations for 40 Texas counties.

Rare heat wave to bring triple-digit temperatures across large parts of the U.S., with warnings issued for 21 states. The extreme weather, which could last beyond the weekend, has led to fires in the West, where conditions are described as “extremely dangerous” and potentially “record-breaking.” Highs up to 115F are expected in parts of California, while the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are bracing for temps exceeding 100F.

Severe thunderstorms with large hail hit central Nebraska June 29, causing extensive damage to homes and agricultural fields.

Violent storms hit Switzerland, France, Austria, and Italy June 29-30; at least 7 people died. Flash floods, landslides, and widespread damage particularly impacted Switzerland and northeastern France.

Powerful storm in the Balkans killed 2 people and caused widespread destruction.

60 dead, hundreds of thousands displaced as catastrophic floods and landslides hit northeast India. There is extensive damage to homes, crops, and infrastructure.

China’s Pingjiang hit by worst floods in 70 years. A ‘wartime’ emergency was declared after flooding in the Miluo River went 7 m (23 feet) above alert level.

WILDFIRES

California Wildfires: The Thompson fire was 29% contained and had burned 3,789 acres in Butte County by Thursday night. The French wildfire in Mariposa County (near Yosemite) was 5% contained and had burned 843 acres as of Friday morning. Hot and dry weather conditions, including an excessive heat warning, remain in effect through the weekend.

U.S. readies to evacuate Americans from Lebanon if fighting between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies.

Iran threatens to ‘obliterate’ Israel as Hezbollah strikes northern Israel. As Hezbollah continues its incessant attacks, Iran’s regime threatens to join Hezbollah in event of all-out war. Iran’s so-called “resistance fronts” include its proxy militias, such as Hezbollah, Yemeni Houthis, and various militias in Syria and Iraq, all of which have taken part in attacks against Israel since October.

Iran picks up the pace to help sustain Hezbollah’s attacks on northern Israel, accelerating weapons and munitions shipments to Lebanon, including more advanced anti-tank missiles. Meanwhile, Biden’s regime withholds transfers of weapon systems to Israel.

Top Iranian general says Iran’s next strike on Israel will lead to ‘complete victory.’ He told family members of Hamas terrorists killed that Iran is prepared to launch another attack on Israel, similar to its massive missile and drone strike in April.

Hezbollah drone attack wounds 18 IDF soldiers in Golan; IDF eliminates several terrorists.

Hezbollah Fires Over 200 Rockets and Drone Swarms at Israel. Since a day after eliminating one of the highest-ranking Hezbollah officials, rockets and UAVs have flooded northern Israel at an alarming rate, with many direct hits. It’s the largest group of projectiles fired at northern Israel since the war began. Impacts have caused fires and serious damage. Update: An IDF officer was killed and several others wounded.

Allegedly, Israel will begin an offensive on Lebanon later in July unless Hezbollah holds its fire, the German Bild reported, quoting diplomatic sources. The report says Hezbollah doesn’t intend to stop its attacks on Israel until the Gaza war ends.

A possible three-phase hostage release deal was approved, during which 120 Israeli hostages would be released by Hamas in Gaza in return for ‘Palestinian’ prisoners.

TWO-STATE DELUSION

Biden regime’s ‘reformed PA’ marketing strategy. The U.S. ambassador to the UN said, “It is essential that the Palestinian Authority work to reform itself and do so as quickly as possible. “It’s a ploy to impose a Palestinian state on the Israelis.

How Do You Witness? :: By Nathele Graham

Every Christian has a testimony, and we should share what Christ has done in our life. How do you go about witnessing? That’s a very good question.

Each of us has strengths and weaknesses, and if we turn all of them over to God, He will show us how to serve Him. Many Christians wear t-shirts with Bible verses on them or phrases pointing to Jesus. This is a good way to make it known that you are a Christian. It also draws attention to your words and actions. Do you wear a Christian t-shirt but pepper your words with foul language or gossip? What kind of witness is that? If you love Jesus, you’ll let His love show through your “conversation” (way of life).

Maybe you have a bumper sticker that says, “I love Jesus,” but you display road rage if someone cuts you off or tailgates. That isn’t being a good witness. My daughter works in a retail store, and every so often, an elderly man comes into the store and strikes up a quiet conversation about Jesus. He ends by handing her a small tract and inviting her to attend church service. We would go, but it’s many miles from where we live.

How ever you’re led to witness, be sure you glorify Jesus. There are many ways to witness for Christ, but you always need to have answers to questions people may ask.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear; Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ(1 Peter 3:15-16).

The word “conversation” is how King James translated the Greek word “anastrophe,” which means the way you behave. Live your life in such a way that people can see Christ living in you. Then, be sure you are able to answer any questions they may have about Jesus. If you don’t have the answer, tell them you will get back to them. Then, do some research. When my husband met Jesus, the change in him was very dramatic. He was a living witness to family and old friends. He studied Scripture and was able to answer questions easily. You can’t have answers unless you study Scripture. Study in context and take all of Scripture into account.

It’s also possible to be a poor witness for Christ. I bowl in a league, and there’s a man who is a Christian. He is one who can easily work Jesus into a conversation. He also has a temper and gets angry with fellow Christians if they unwittingly offend him. He talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. Then there are those who don’t witness for Jesus but push their own agenda. This happened to me this past weekend.

My daughter and I make items and sell them at craft sales (I keep tracts on my table to hand out). We were set up next to a Christian group that was handing out supposedly Christian information. One of the ladies came over and began talking at me. I say “at” because she had no intention of listening or finding out what I believed. Her group had what my husband called a “one-verse theology,” and that was all she cared about. Her enthusiasm was good to see, but not once did she mention Christ or salvation, repentance, or being born again. By the time she went back to her booth, I was not at all happy.

Always remember that our faith is based upon Christ, and it’s all about what He did for us upon that cross. He shed His blood as the final sacrifice for sin.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast(Ephesians 2:8-9).

Works should be a result of our faith, but those works should all glorify Christ.

The Apostle Paul was a man who was changed by his encounter with Christ. Paul was a Pharisee and knew the law forward and backward. When he met Christ, his whole life was turned around. He fully understood the Gospel and that only faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus can bring salvation.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures(1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

Any “gospel” other than this is not the Gospel at all. If the doctrine you follow is “Faith and ____ (fill in the blank with anything),” then your faith isn’t in Christ; it’s in man’s ideas and work. Paul understood that when we witness for Christ, that witness must be about Christ, not false doctrine.

The Christians in Corinth were trying hard to be “seeker-friendly” and were very worldly. Paul wrote, “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified(1 Corinthians 2:1-2).

This is how witnessing should be done. Share Christ and Him crucified. Why was He crucified? If you don’t know, you’d better find out. You may be a great orator or someone who has trouble organizing thoughts, but either way, make your witness about Christ.

Witnessing is a very important part of our Christian life. It’s important that we share the Gospel, not our own agenda. When we try to put our own spin on Scripture or water it down to make sin seem not so bad, we have compromised the Gospel. The main subject of our witness must be Christ.

Sin separates us from God, but repenting and placing our faith in Christ brings salvation. Some say that nothing in our life needs to change once we accept Christ. It’s true that we cannot work to earn our salvation, but Jesus told Nicodemus to be born again.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God(John 3:3).

That means we need to change. We can’t hold on to our favorite sin and still claim to have repented and placed faith in Jesus. We must be born again. Does that mean we are perfect? No, but our faith should bring responsibility and gratitude to Jesus for what He did. We must repent of our sin… change our mind about it, and turn from it. If I’m a Christian, can I lie? Can I cuss? Can I be sexually promiscuous? Technically, yes, but why would you want to mock Jesus and continue to be identified with the world? That is a very poor witness for Christ. He died for our sin, not so we can continue sinning but that we will be free from the eternal result of sin. Remember that sin has wages… eternal death.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness(Ephesians 4:17-19).

When you witness, be sure you point out that sin separates us from God and we must repent and allow Christ to change us. “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness(Ephesians 4:22-24).

Paul wrote these words to encourage the readers to let Christ rule their life instead of Satan. Paul does not promote works, just gratitude.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the things which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers(Ephesians 4:25-29).

Our behavior does matter. We must honor God with our life.

None of us are perfect, but we can’t let that stop us from witnessing to others. I get very disappointed in myself when I am not as “good” as I should be. Thank God for His grace and mercy. Our salvation is secure even when we goof. Still, we need to try to live for Him.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you(Ephesians 4:30-32).

Can I witness even if I’m not perfect? Yes, we are all a work in progress, and we can use our failures to show God’s love and mercy.

If you want to learn to witness effectively, study Scripture. Learn how Jesus interacted with people, and study how the Apostles shared the Gospel. You’ll find that they were direct and that Jesus was the focus.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham
