Do you feel the way you hate?
Do you hate the way you feel?
Always closer to the flame, ever closer to the blade.
I am poison crazy lush.
Built these hands to lift me up.
We are servants of our formulaic ways.
I’m screaming daisies.
From fourteen miles away.
I’ve got my own time, got it all today.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Limbo this and limbo that.
You were this and you were that.
Ever know that what you fear is what you find.
This Indian summer I signed my life away.
There’s a greedy fly in here and I fly away.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind.
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.

–Bush, “Greedy Fly”–

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.
–Luke 4:18 (ESV)–

Tracing our lineage back to Adam and Eve: I do believe in the literal 6,000 years. But there may have been a time that dinosaurs lived for a period of time on the earth, maybe even MILLIONS OF YEARS, and even coexisted with man, and were wiped out in the Flood.
–Todd Bentley, 7:03–

You read these stories of celebrities and they have it all. I can understand that guy! I can understand that movie star that has everything you could ever want and JUST CAN’T STOP DRINKING OR PARTYING. It’s like they throw away their success. They blow it up; and I WAS LIKE THAT, but it happened to be IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.
–Todd Bentley, 52:01–

Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Lee Strobel, Seeing the Supernatural (Zondervan, 2025). This is a really unique book. Written by a hard nosed skeptic, former atheist, and leading Christian apologist. Supports an evidence-based supernatural worldview. Strobel also has a theistic view of evolution, which I disagree with.

Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind. –Jeremiah 51:1 (KJV)

The Lord popped open this chapter to me today completely unplanned. I believe this is still a word of the Lord over America, but specifically, now I believe its mainly against the “NAR prophets.” What happens now in the natural world through hurricanes, tornados, and wars; is only a sign of what God is doing through the Roys Report, Justin Peters, Holly Pivec, American Gospel, and other Bible believing evangelical podcasters in taking down false prophetic ministries in the NAR. I think that God views these NAR prophets as worshipers of Bel, the god of Babylon. Covetousness is their primary sin (Jer. 51:13). Caterpillars and destroying winds are coming against the finances of their ministries in Jesus’ name (Jer. 51:1, 14). They don’t believe in the wrath and judgment of God, so they won’t know what hit them until its too late. They think Reformed people have the “spirit of fear” and an “orphan spirit” when they speak of such things. The reason for this is because they are effeminate, sissy prophets–what could have been “the mighty men of Babylon…became as women” instead (Jer. 51:30). The reality is that NAR prophets are idol worshipers of a graven image not based on the Word of God (Jer. 51:17). And what God will do now and again by lightnings, rain, and extreme winds will only be an outward symbol of what God plans to accomplish against their false prophet ministry money. “So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon” (51:60). I believe with all of my heart this is a word from the Lord! But that’s just me. –J.B.

Time has arrived, we see all the signs
Revolution now is the time
Revelation soon to arise
Tribulation means it’s the time
Send out the soldiers
Their shield is their souls
Revolution coming unfold
Revelation coming untold
The prophet born to the world

Life, I know our life goes way out beyond
I leave you fire to carry on
Salvation coming to those
With the Most High in their souls

Here comes the prophet
(time has arrived)
The prophet
(revolution/revelation)
Here comes the prophet
(time has arrived)

Rise above and beyond the sky
You know that we got to fight
The struggle to survive
This is my life

Um, dois, treis, qua

The prophet – mais forte do que a morte (stronger than death)
The prophet – stronger than it all
The prophet

¹⁶ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
but the Word of our God shall stand for ever.

Faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the Word of God.
