It's A New Day!

With the installation of our new President , Donald Trump, there have been many changes and potential changes already. 

It seems that none of the fears and lies that the liberal elite created and proliferated are appearing...So far, there has been no directive to uproot, our Republic, as the previous administration did...no plans to create an autocracy, as the previous democrat administration did by using the law and the legal system to pursue political enemies relentlessly...no plans to allow illegal immigration to change the American landscape...Finally, American leadership has stated the facts that we all observe readily, that there are only TWO genders and those are male and female, and that we will no longer pursue the new version of racism calling it DEI...No more...In fact there has been nothing done, but good governance and a resurgence of respect for America in the world under the Trump directives.

Davos Even Got The Message

Yes, even the WEF (World Economic Forum) got the message that America will no longer
be a willing participant in her own demise. Right now, they know that digital ID's, which were planned to be the new world currency and method of tracking the actions, and movements of everyone in the world, are on hold. Borders are not open, which is another attack against the perpetuators of this open new world order. They now know that the "Green New Scam" is DOA (Dead On Arrival) and the desire to reshape the world, as they had planned using covid as a cover, is temporarily, if not permanently, on hold. 

Now, the Saudi, Canadian and Mexican governments know that their time to trample on their "partner" in America through unfair trade policies, abused borders and other practices that harm America and American citizens is over. 

China, who released a less expensive and biased version of AI that has rocked the financial world temporarily, Russia and even Iran, still want to "normalize" relations with the United States because they don't know what to expect from "fear through strength" leadership. Panama realizes that the violation of the treaty on their behalf will no longer be overlooked, because what happens at the Panama Canal harms American citizens...but you heard no such thing from Joe and Skamala...do you wonder why??? 

You see, America can call some shots...not as a bully, but as one who knows her place and value in the world. This concept have been lost on most political leaders democrat and republican over the years. Why? Because all too many of them have sought what it takes to enrich themselves as opposed to doing what it takes to secure the American people. 

Just look at this...

Now that deportations have begun, those hoping for failure of the new American policy have been disappointed because other nations, such as Columbia, who had vowed to not take any of the deportees back, suddenly changed their tune in the middle of the American strength. Why? Because no matter how much coffee or goods they produce, foreign countries need to participate in the American economy more than the America economy needs to participate in theirs.  

DEI and Abortion On Demand Halted

One of the most controversial initiatives undertaken by President Trump has been to reexamine the relationship of Federal Funding to institutions that promote DEI (under cover neo-Marxism) and federally funded abortion. In an announcement that rocked the Federally funded world, President Trump temporarily halted the issuance of certain federal grants that funded organizations. 

Much controversy was made over the nature of the temporary freeze with fearmongers claiming that the world would soon end if the grants don't immediately return.  However, the issue was easily seen...

1- Are Federal grants being delivered to organizations who promote DEI and other neo-Marxist policies? 

2- Are Federal grants being delivered to organizations who violate the Hyde Amendment in providing federal funds to pay for elective abortions?

While most people missed the context of the freeze, it was abundantly clear that America, under Trump, is in the process of clearing house to provide clarity...eliminate DEI which uses "Diversity" as a door opener to teach and promote unequal and unfair treatment in hiring and promotions based on race, and eliminate Federally funded elective abortions.

As of this writing, a Federal Judge has temporarily blocked the temporary freeze, but that will not and in no way stop the examination of organizations receiving or set to receive Federal Grants. With Republicans in control of both House and Senate, and on the same page on this issue, there is great potential that organizations could face permanent ban or lockout of federal funding if they don't realign their values. 

Geneva Consensus Declaration Rejoined

Founded in 2020 the Declaration asserted that a healthy nation began with a healthy family and at heart, a healthy women. This family building declaration offeres 4 main components:

(1) better health for women,

(2) the preservation of human life,

(3) strengthening of the family as the foundational unit of society, and

(4) protecting every nation's national sovereignty.

On Jan. 28th 2021 former President Joe Biden removed the United States from her preeminent position of the Geneva Consensus Declaration which was as demonstrated above, a statement by multiple nations to rebuild the family and ultimately nations of the world, by providing better healthcare alternatives for women and minimizing abortion. It seems that many nations realize that they cannot kill their babies and still survive. Not only did Joe cause the United States to exit the consensus, but he also attempted to destroy it altogether by seeking other nations to not participate and even withdraw their support from the declaration itself.

IT IS A NEW DAY!!!

On Jan 24th 2025 under our new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and at the direction of President Trump, America proudly rejoined this declaration and consensus stating the following:

"The Trump Administration is committed to supporting families, promoting women’s health, and protecting children at all stages of life. The United States will pursue these objectives in cooperation with member states in the UN system and through our continued shared ambition for improved health for women and girls. Investing in women’s health and well-being saves lives, allows women and girls more opportunities, and protects the family as the fundamental unit of society."

Spiritual Insight & Conclusion:

Although Al Sharpton of the National Action Network, an organization that has gladly and proudly received Trump funding in times past, especially when he supported Democrat causes, has called for a national boycott against organizations that have dumped their DEI policies, more and more Americans have become aware that such policies are only novel methods to teach racism and neo-Marxism, when coupled along with CRT (Critical Race Theory) which teaches that racism is inextricably woven into the fabric of American society and that can only be changed by uprooting the entire American system.  

The problem is that the neo-Marxist efforts of DEI and CRT is infused with a truth. Diversity is good and can make American better. However, it is more influenced with a deadly lie, that the only way to defeat racism is to be a racist and lead with hatred. Neither of these goals and values are desirable and neither can build a nation. It can only destroy a people and eventually the world.   

It seems that America just may extend it's time of grace and mercy in the sight of God by renewing her determination to affirm the sanctity of life and eliminate harmful policies that are eroding her peace and sinking her soul. 

Not to liken him to Prophet Jonah, but President Trump, by his moves to restore the heart of American society may have caused us to receive an extension of the ultimate time of judgement upon our society. Remember, Nineveh was given 40 days. However at repentance and turning was given an additional 150 years and faced destruction only after they returned back to their sins of idolatry. 

American can't possibly think that she can escape the judgement of God. She has aborted more than 65 million babies when it is estimated that less than 1% of those were of medical necessity, she has endorsed and paraded the sexual immorality of homosexuality and transsexual mutilation without any regard to moral ethics or concern for the impacts upon society. These are only some of the things that America has endorsed and place the weight of her efforts behind politically. How can she escape judgement?

2 Chron. 7:14 ~ if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 

This scripture was delivered to Israel as it pertained to her judgement. All she had to do is turn, deliver herself to God and God would show up. American needs God to show up, but she needs to TURN unto him and forsake her wicked and evil ways. 

But what of the church? 

1 Peter 4:17 ~ For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 

For her lack of submission to God, the church will be judged first and judged heavily and in my opinion, as the church goes, so goes the nation. The church has embraced abortion through silence and in some cases overtly, scolded our President on the invasion of the United States through illegal immigration and allowed her leaders to spew out hate in the name of righteousness...but they have no knowledge that man's righteousness doesn't mean that God's righteousness is being done.

James 1:20 ~ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

As I hear many, alleged church people rail at at a Trump Presidency even calling him a "devil", I begin to wonder do they know what or who "the devil" really is? It is a devil that promotes sexual immorality and lowers the "image of God" to that of animals and even kills God's creation. 

This lets me know how badly we need repentance and just how close we are to real judgement. We can only hope and pray for a successful Presidency and for our nation to turn from evil and all forms of hate from the pulpit to the front door. 

Blessed!

California Wildfires

Already, in 2025, the Southern California wildfires have taken everyone's attention. In addition to the loss of life (currently at 24 individuals at the time of this writing, with 16 persons missing) and amount and type of land that has been burned, has taken everyone by surprise.

The latest stats are as follows:

Eaton Canyon 

Having begun on Jan. 7th, the fire has burned over 14,117 acres the fire is only at 15% containment. 7,000 structures damaged or destroyed and 2,832 people assigned to the fight. 

Palisades

The Palisades Fire began in the Pacific Palisades area of the city on Jan. 7th. It is at 23,707 acres in size with 11% containment. At least 5,613 structures have been destroyed which includes 426 homes, with at least five people confirmed killed.

Hurst 

The Hurst Fire in Sylmar, northwest of San Fernando, began on Jan. 7th and has burned 799 acres. It is at 89% containment.

It is expected that over 500,000 students within Los Angeles County will continue to be out of school and the expansion of fire due to weather risk extends beyond mid-week. 

Is This The Judgement Of God? 

The largest question that has arisen within the Christian community has been, "Is this fire the judgment of God?"

To address this issue, I believe that we must first observe the fact that wildfires in the West have long been devastating claiming many homes, acres and lives over the years.

Examination: 

Interestingly enough, in 2023 although there were comparatively more wildfires (55,571), this year presented the least amount of acres burned since 2000. (approximately 2,633,636 acres) In 2024 there were 61,685 wildfires and 8,851,142 acres burned. which is the 2nd lowest total since 2012. 

Aug. 8th 2023, on the island paradise of Maui, Hawaii in the city of Lahaina, over 114 people were killed, 2,700 structures destroyed and over 1,000 acres of land burned in a fire of epic proportions which began with high winds and a downed power line. SOURCE 

In fact in 2023, I remember that the air quality due to American wildfires and sudden Canadian wildfires, became so bad in the Midwest that we were under air quality alert for quite some time. SOURCE Many people, including myself, suffered from the poor air quality during that time and some continue to suffer from issues encountered during that time even today.  

The REAL Question....

"Since these fires have devastated what has otherwise been known as strongholds of liberal thought and lifestyle of the rich, and many of who disdain God and Biblical morality, could these fires possibly be the judgement of God?"

In all of this, over 130,000 people and over 30 Hollywood and entertainment celebrities and their families, have been forced to evacuate their homes, devastated by what is now known as the Southern California wildfires. 

Actors and actresses, the ultra wealthy, and lauded celebrities, ranging from Paris Hilton to the Kardashians, to Mel Gibson and John Legend have been made homeless due to these devastating fires and the battle has only just begun with their insurance companies. 

Because many of these individuals hold and promote liberal views, many Christians have sought out to say that these fires prove that God is sick of the ultra wealthy and the ultra liberal views that many of them have embraced. 

Now, all of those things are considerations that one can undertake, but are those sentiments Biblical and do they pertain to this case and the results of these fires? 

I mean, look, this blog certainly doesn't uphold liberal or open morality and or anti-biblical views. Our readers are strengthened because we uphold the Bible, Biblical inerrancy, and Biblical morality.  However, we also speak out against fanaticism, religious or otherwise. We abhor the desire to see anyone suffer, or the desire to see anyone murdered or killed (including political figures) and it be called "the judgement of God"...

The Dunamis Word, certainly doesn't hold the judgement of the ungodly or any experience in which there is loss of life and or material, a badge of honor for us or anyone to flaunt. We don't place God on the platform of a social vigilante. God is God. He is a savior and a true judge and he raises up one and sets down another at his bidding (Ps.75.:7) and in his due time for his own purpose. All them that have embraced evil, will be handled. The whole world is ultimately subject to his will. 

With that said, it amazes me to see how many, alleged Christians, can view destruction, loss and suffering of others who have views of morality that they oppose, as an opportunity to point towards and uphold their own self-righteousness, and further use the suffering of other individuals as an opportunity to contend that "God is speaking" and, I suppose, because the wealthy suffer, "God now means business" and we suddenly need to listen more intently.

Reexamination Of Truth

Without a doubt God is not pleased with what we have allowed America to become in the name of "freedom". However, the wealthy and ultra elite are not the only ones to blame for this. It is the common folk, the poor folk and some alleged religious folk, who will pay for those sins and the proliferation of sin in the world as we will discuss. 

Yes, we will pay a price as a nation for over 63 million murders of babies through and by abortion. Yes, we will pay a price for the promotion of homosexuality and now the normalization of transsexuality which encourages the mutilation of children. Yes, I could name many sins, that America has embraced, actions, ways and moral positions that are against God and godliness, and totally unworthy of his blessings...However, with all of that said, God's WORD affirms:

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? ~ Ezek. 33:11

While Ezekiel stops short of saying or speaking about the possessions of the wicked being destroyed, we can safely say that this verse illuminates the nature and character of God as it pertains to the loss of anyone, due to wickedness or evil. The greatest gift is that those who are evil or wicked will turn to God and repent from their evil. However, many are so attached to their evil and the material by which their evil is upheld, that they do not turn to God and refuse to submit themselves to God and that is the real tragedy. 

The problem is that too many of us (alleged Christians) assume that these celebrities are not saved, or do not have favor with God, simply because they are celebrities. Believe me...I believe that every tree will bear or show it's own fruit, but there can be a real problem viewing people through a human lens of righteousness, rather than through a Biblical lens of righteousness, which we are required to do. 

Revealing Facts

To be truthful, in our holiness church, yes, the Grand Ole Church herself, I have shared the pulpit with some who believe many more liberal things, even if unspoken, than many of these, now homeless and allegedly "judged celebrities" ("judged" according to some)...Believe me, I don't exclude the fact that God is speaking to many of the celebrities who never though that they would or could ever experience such devastation. I don't doubt that God is using their loss as a tool to cause an examination of life and ultimately repentance, but let's tell the truth. We have men in pulpits within many Christian churches who are pedophiles (now Minor Attracted Persons...a SINNER by any other name...) and others who are serial adulterers, fornicators, undercover homosexuals and more...

I know of individuals, some popular Bishops, who have reached out for help and freedom from homosexuality allegedly on behalf of their "friends" or alleged "associates"... In addition, as I have interviewed and shown over the years, there are some individuals who have never repented of their sins and continue in pulpits and even in leadership using statute of limitations laws as a cover for their sins.   

Are their homes being burnt down? Are they homeless as a result of their sin and evil? Does God not wish to judge them, while focusing on entertainers some of whom have more moral views than these pulpit and ministry hypocrites???

I really don't mean to sound harsh, but when God begins to judge, his first judgements will be at the House of God...is that not what the WORD says?

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? ~ 1 Pet. 4:17

 Our obedience to the Gospel will be tested. Our faithfulness and fidelity to God is the primary focus of our Lord and savior before he sets the world straight for her sins. 

God's Judgement Offers Clarity Of Voice

One thing is for sure...when GOD SPEAKS he let's the whole world, and the individuals he is speaking to, know that he is speaking and that he has spoken. 

* Noah, spoke for over 100 years warning the people while he built the Ark of God that there was going to be judgement upon the land and the people for their evil and wickedness. 

* Although this was not an act of judgement, God spoke to Abram in Mesopotamia, an area filled with idolatry and much demonic influence, but his voice was altogether so clear until Abram changed his life and the life of his family at the voice of God. (Genesis 12) Later, in an act of judgment  God spoke clearly again to Abraham regarding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, even sending angels to pronounce his intents prior to the destruction. 

* When God judged Egypt through Moses, this was not done in secret. God commissioned Moses to speak on his behalf and promised that when Moses spoke and raised the rod, he, God, would respond and be faithful to uphold his word and actions. (Ex.3)

* God spoke so clearly that Israel heard his voice in the wilderness and saw his acts and understood his displeasure when they sinned. 

* When God Judged the enemies of Israel, he spoke clearly allowing the people to know that it was he, GOD, doing the judgement. Do you remember Nebuchadnezzar and his ultimate confession that Daniel placed within his narrative in the 1st person? (Dan. 4:36)

* How about David when he was judged by God? Was Nathan silent and did David not know that God was not pleased with his actions and acts before judgement was carried out? (2 Sam. 12)

Now, one could say that warnings have been sent to Hollywood, and that the elite and their works have been revealed and their sins are calling for the reprisal of God. I would certainly agree and do not disagree. The true church has been proactive in speaking to the elite and telling them that their sins and what they promote is certainly before God. They have been preached to and many of them, as well as many ordinary "work a day" Americans, have heard and rejected the truth. However, is their experience, and what we are seeing, a "judgement"? Or is this an opportunity to pause, consider one's ways, dump immorality, repent and be saved???

A Precursor To REAL Judgement And Utter Destruction

What I contend in this article is that what we are witnessing is the precursor to the actual and real judgement that God will bring upon this nation for her sins and evil. God will bring judgement at an appointed time, just like he brought judgement upon Israel for her sins and evil at HIS appointed time. 

We need to understand that there is no amount of wealth or material existence that will save anyone from HIS judgement and ultimate accounting and reconciliation of all things. Lavish living, is not the key or the problem...the love of the world is the issue. (1 Jn. 2:15)

The belief that money exempts one from suffering or that the wealth and accolade of the world somehow places one above others, is called pride and the very look or appearance of pride God hates and ultimately judges. (Prov. 6:16) Why? Because this type of pride (which has little to do with being happy for material success)  suggests and even states explicitly that God is not essential to personal success and being subject to HIM is something either unnecessary or something that a human can dole out according to their will, not HIS. Therefore man exalts himself above God and creates moral relevance that suits himself and is not subject to God in any manner. 

Further Scriptural Insight

Apostle Peter says some very interesting things about the judgement of God along with Paul to Timothy and Paul to the church at Thessalonica. 

In 2 Peter 3:10-13 Peter says:

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Drawing from Zephaniah 1:14-15, Peter associated God's ultimate judgement with "The Day Of The Lord" which comes suddenly, quickly and without warning, "as a thief in the night". Peter does not exclude any pre-judgements that God may make to correct evil and reconcile any wrongs, but here Peter deals with final judgement or the "end of the word".

As Zephaniah suggests, this "Great Day" will not be something seen or witnessed on CNN, FOX, MSNBC or any other television network, radio service or internet or other social media site. When his judgement arrives, it will arrive with a sound and inexplicable and unstoppable actions, along with heat and fire that will change the very nature of existence itself beyond repair.

Jesus builds upon this in Matthew 24:26-44 by stating that the everyone would know and see or experience HIS coming, (v.27) and that the church should simply "be ready" (v.44) for the day of the Lord and that when we don't expect that he will come, for whatever reason, he will be there.(v.44)

In Revelation 16:13-14 John presents a vision of demonic and lieing spirits that proceed from the mouths of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, in effort to convince humanity to fight against God as he comes visibly, to the world on that "Great day" or the day of judgement.  

After the judgement of God, there will be no human will to rebuild or hope that one can escape. When God makes his judgement, not only will every wrong be accounted for, but death and hell will ultimately be cast into the Lake of Fire forever and there will be noone to oppose the will of God.    

When The REAL and FINAL Judgment of God comes, it will be inescapable. 

The fires we now witness are a reminder of what judgement will do, what it will be like and what hell is...These fires are a reminder and an encouragement for humanity to get it right, in light of what hell is and what it will ultimately mean to all them who forsake God...As property is being lost, most of which is beyond repair, hell is also the place of total loss and abandonment, the place where their is no hope and the place where material possessions or worldly comforts cannot save, protect, heal and or set one free. 

I believe this is the message of the fires for now...GET RIGHT...GET READY...BECAUSE THIS AIN'T YOUR HOME, AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE OR WHERE YOU LIVE, NONE OF THIS BELONGS TO YOU. THE WORLD BELONGS TO GOD, EVEN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES AND LAND.  

Even so come Lord Jesus!

Blessed
