GOD'S POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN OUR WEAKNESS


But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,
For my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses,
So that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV

Elon Musk: We Need Oil and Gas “Because Otherwise Civilization Will Crumble”

Elon Musk: We Need Oil and Gas “Because Otherwise Civilization Will Crumble”

Electric vehicle pioneer Elon Musk called for more drilling and exploration of fossil fuel resources in the immediate future on Monday, warning that humanity could be in trouble if the transition to lower-carbon energy sources is rushed.

“Realistically, I think we need to use oil and gas in the short term, because otherwise civilization will crumble,” the Tesla CEO told reporters at a conference Stavanger, Norway.

“One of the biggest challenges the world has ever faced is the transition to sustainable energy and to a sustainable economy,” he continued. “That will take some decades to complete.”

Wall Street Journal: Tesla boss Elon Musk told European energy leaders that the world needs more oil and natural gas and should continue operating nuclear power plants while investing heavily in renewable energy sources. “I think we actually need more oil and gas, not less, but simultaneously moving as fast as we can to a sustainable energy economy,” Mr. Musk, Tesla’s chief executive and largest shareholder, told a conference in Stavanger, Norway (Wall Street journal). 

Daily Wire: “Realistically I think we need to use oil and gas in the short term, because otherwise civilization will crumble,” Musk told reporters. “One of the biggest challenges the world has ever faced is the transition to sustainable energy and to a sustainable economy. That will take some decades to complete.” Many developed countries are indeed shifting their energy portfolios toward renewables and away from conventional sources. As a result, Norwegian production of oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels reached a peak in 2004 and has steadily declined since, according to data from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (Daily Wire).

Civil Unrest Could Be Coming To Europe This Winter As Energy Costs Skyrocket

 

Civil Unrest Could Be Coming To Europe This Winter As Energy Costs Skyrocket

This is going to be a bitterly cold winter for a whole lot of people. In particular, things are likely to get really uncomfortable in Europe.  Soaring energy prices and concern about potential shortages are causing anxiety all over the continent, and widespread protests have already started to take place.  

The cost of living has become extremely painful for those on the bottom of the economic food chain, and people want their governments to do something.  Of course this is what always happens when nations embrace socialism.  There is an expectation that those in charge will solve any and every problem, but this time around the limitations of the socialists running Europe will become very clear.

Thanks to the war in Ukraine and a number of other factors, the price of natural gas in Europe is now approximately six times higher than it was last year...

European natural gas prices are taking a breather amid further signs that soaring energy costs are crippling economic output, heaping pressure on politicians to resolve the crisis with winter just a few months away.

Benchmark futures retreated after settling at a record high on Monday. Prices are still about six times higher than they were at this time last year, with the panic spreading across nations ahead of peak winter demand.

Needless to say, many in Europe are being completely stunned by the size of their energy bills.

A troubling survey commissioned by trade publication the Morning Advisor revealed the entire British pub industry could be on the brink of a tsunami of closures this winter if the government fails to intervene in power markets to ease cost pressures.

According to the survey, 70% of respondents say if electricity prices continue to soar, they will be unable to operate and forced to close up shop -- this would dramatically alter the landscape of pubs by next spring.

More than 65% of the pubs surveyed said power costs rose more than 100%, 30% said utility costs jumped 200%, and 8% experienced 500% increases. Most pubs warned they couldn't afford the exponential rise in energy costs.

These rising costs are starting to drive a massive backlash has been brewing and we are already starting to see very large protests in a number of different countries...

British grassroots group "Don't Pay UK" is calling for people to boycott energy bills from Oct. 1, while the trade union-backed "Enough is Enough" campaign kicked off a series of rallies and actions in mid-August calling for pay rises, rent caps, cheaper energy and food, and taxes on the rich.

A worsening cost-of-living crisis across Europe has already seen workers in France, Spain and Belgium go out on strike in the public transport, health and aviation sectors, pushing for higher wages to help them cope with rocketing inflation.

But this is just the beginning.

As supplies get even tighter this winter, energy costs are only going to go higher.

And a lot of officials in Europe are extremely concerned about the potential for shortages and blackouts.

Even now, this energy crisis is forcing some big companies to significantly curtail activity...

The list of industries that are curbing output is growing. Poland's biggest chemicals company, Grupa Azoty SA, has stopped making some of its key products and trimmed production of ammonia because of record gas prices, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

Unless the war in Ukraine comes to a speedy conclusion, this crisis is not going away any time soon.

So the people of Europe are going to be asked to make additional sacrifices in the months ahead.  This week, French President Emmanuel Macron actually used the phrase "end of abundance" to describe what citizens of his country would soon be facing...

Emmanuel Macron has warned the French they are facing sacrifices and what he called the "end of abundance", at his government's first cabinet meeting after the summer holidays.

The president, speaking before ministers at the Élysée, said the country was at a "tipping point" and faced a difficult winter and a new era of instability caused by climate change and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Based on the anger that we are already witnessing, I don't think that the people of Europe are going to handle the "end of abundance" too well.

Meanwhile, energy prices in the U.S. continue to skyrocket as well.  At this point, the price of natural gas in the U.S. has risen more than 150 percent in 2022...

U.S. natural gas prices briefly hurdled $10 per million British thermal units (BTUs) on Tuesday, the highest since 2008. They are up more than 150% this year.

Approximately half the population uses natural gas to heat their homes.

So this is really troubling news.

Energy bills in this country are going to be absolutely obscene this winter, and we have already reached a point where about one out of every 6 of us are behind on our power bills...

At least 20 million households -- or about 1 in 6 American homes -- are behind on their power bills as soaring electricity prices spark what is said to be the worst-ever crisis in late utility payments, according to Bloomberg, citing data from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (Neada).

Neada said electricity prices had increased significantly since 2020 after a decade of stagnation. The steep rise has resulted in billions of dollars in overdue power bills.

In state after state, the percentage of customers that are behind on their energy bills just continues to go higher and higher.  Here are a couple of examples...

California's PG&E Corp. has seen a more than 40% jump since February 2020 in the number of residential customers behind on payments. For New Jersey's Public Service Enterprise Group, the total is up more than 30% for customers at least 90 days late--and that's just since March.

If things are this bad already, what will the numbers look like if energy bills go up another 50 percent or more this winter?

We are being warned that a "tsunami of shutoffs" is coming, and that is not an exaggeration at all.

In both the United States and Europe, there are going to be millions upon millions of people that cannot afford to heat their homes.

And when there are vast numbers of people that cannot even afford to pay for the essentials, that is a recipe for civil unrest.

According to one professor that tracks these things, we have already seen approximately 10,000 protests of an economic nature around the world since last November...

Whichever route they choose, the coming winter is set to be plagued by social unrest, warned Naomi Hossain, a professor of development politics at the American University in Washington D.C. who is studying energy, fuel and food riots.

At a conservative estimate, 10,000 such protests have taken place worldwide since last November, she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation - with more expected in an uncertain future.

For years, I have been relentlessly warning that unprecedented civil unrest would be coming.

Now it is here, and it is only going to get worse.

I would very much encourage you to do what you can to become more independent from the power grid.

Energy bills are headed to heights that would have once been unimaginable, and this is going to cause excruciating pain all over the western world.

American Military Leadership Continues Descent Into Leftism

American Military Leadership Continues Descent Into Leftism

(Reuters)

If you can't trust the second-highest ranking uniformed officer in the Navy, who can you trust?

In June 2022, four-star Admiral William Lescher gave a deposition regarding Navy SEALS who filed religious exemptions from getting the COVID shot. Lescher had previously claimed that receiving the COVID shots were a matter of national security.

Shockingly, this did not turn out to be the case. 

The admiral was forced to admit that he is currently "unaware" of any missions performed by the Navy SEAL teams that were negatively impacted by members being unvaccinated.

To date, the Navy has not issued a single religious exemption among the 4,244 requests that are pending approval. 

But this is not the only case within the military for which the careers of service members hang in the balance.

Recently, the Liberty Counsel took the case of a Marine who objected to the vaccine on religious grounds. Prior to reaching out to Liberty Counsel, the Marine was given two day's notice of separation, which is extraordinarily unusual and unethical. 

Another example is Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, removed from Space Force command for criticizing critical race theory.

These incidents, along with the mass separations that occurred to other service members who refused the jab, show how hostile the Biden Department of Defense has become to those who don't fall in line with "the message." 

This same message has influenced the military academies that are instructing these officers who are more politician than war-fighter.

As these ideologies seep into the American military services, the Marxist roots they are derived from take hold as well. 

These beliefs, based on the political viewpoints of an atheist, run opposite of the Judeo-Christian principles this country was founded on.

Citizens need to ask themselves, why are these actions, ideologies and punishments happening in every aspect of American society?

A base-level answer is to change the culture. 

Military culture is already undergoing change to fall in line with the CRT and LGBTQ belief system. 

College campuses began undergoing that change in the 1960s, and now elementary, middle and high schools are teaching the same principles and ideologies of the universities to impressionable, young minors.

This attack on service members is only a symptom of the wider pattern of "woke" ideology trying to reshape American values. 

While groups such as Liberty Counsel and others are taking up the fight, more Christians need to stand up and recognize the deceptions that Satan is using to influence the lost to do his bidding. 

Remember Jesus' words in Matthew 7:15-16 on being deceived: "'Beware of false prophets who comes to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 

You will know them by their fruit. 

Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?'"

Jonathan Cahn Unveils the 'Dark Trinity' Wreaking Havoc in Today's World

Jonathan Cahn Unveils the 'Dark Trinity' Wreaking Havoc in Today's World

Jonathan Cahn (Charisma News archives)

Is it possible that ancient gods have come back and are behind what is currently happening in America? Could their existence be transforming culture, families, children, businesses, government, technology—and even our very lives?

New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Cahn—author of The HarbingerThe OracleThe Mystery of the Shemitah and more—examines these chilling questions and more in his explosive new book, The Return of the Gods, available for pre-order now and launches on Sept. 6, 2022. 

In the groundbreaking book, Cahn takes readers on a journey from an ancient parable to the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in the world to this day, specifically in America.

Cahn promises to start to uncover ancient prophecies of old, as well as how they affect America today.

"We will remove the veil to uncover the first and most important revelation underlying the mystery of the gods. We will see the ancient transformation concerning the gods that changed world history. 

We will open up a two-thousand-year-old warning involving a house of spirits and what it foretells concerning the modern world. 

We will then see how the gods of the ancient mystery have come into our world. We will uncover the dark trinity—and how it has changed our culture. We will reveal how the gods are working and moving in all that is taking place around us, how they are initiating social upheavals and cultural revolutions, indwelling our politics, transforming our world—and even our lives. 

Finally, we will open up the meaning and significance of it all, what it portends, what it will lead to, and what we need to know and do in light of it."

In the book, Cahn identifies three key ancient gods who are at work at this very moment—a dark trinity that embody the apostasy itself: the Possessor, the Enchantress and the Destroyer. 

These three spirits worked together in a progression of seduction, with the Possessor ushering in the Enchantress, then the Enchantress ushering in the Destroyer.

The Possessor was the first. 

To the nation of Israel, according to Cahn, he was the embodiment of paganism and of all pagan gods. 

He was the other god, the substitute god and he warred against the true God. He was the god that Israel turned to when it turned away from the Almighty God.

But the Possessor was not alone, Cahn warns. He had a wife known as the Enchantress.

"In some ancient mythologies of the Middle East, she was the goddess of sexuality and, specifically, of sexual immorality," says Cahn. 

"She was a seducer, a temptress, the goddess who captivated, allured and snatched away. As the patron goddess of the tavern, or alehouse, she was associated with the partaking of alcohol, particularly of beer. 

She dwelled in the taverns and mixed sexuality with intoxication."

This sexualization of Israel is exactly what is happening in America today.

"When the spirit of the Enchantress came to America, the same dynamics [of old] began to replay," Cahn writes. 

"Sexuality was deified. That which was once the exclusive domain of husband and wife now spilled into the public sphere and popular culture," encompassing modern media, education, politics and even into the family unit.

The Return of the Gods promises to take readers on a fascinating, unforgettable and mind-blowing journey that will leave them stunned and with the ability to see the world as they never have before.

The Return of the Gods will be available on September 6, 2022.

With the release of The Harbinger II: The Return in September 2020, multitudes of new fans have embraced Jonathan Cahn's compelling messages and prophecies, in addition to the millions that are already heeding the warnings and prophecies outlined in his previous books over the past decade.

The author has made multiple media appearances, including on CBN's 700 Club, TBN's Praise, and Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson.

Cahn's first book, The Harbinger, became an instant New York Times bestseller when it was published in 2012. 

His next four books were also New York Times bestsellers: The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Book of Mysteries, The Paradigm, and The Oracle. Along with Billy Graham, Cahn was named one of the top 40 spiritual leaders of the past 40 years who has radically impacted the world.

Called the prophetic voice of this generation, Jonathan Cahn has spoken on Capitol Hill, at the United Nations, and to millions around the world. 

Cahn is known for opening the deep mysteries of Scripture and bringing forth messages of prophetic import. 

He leads Hope of the World ministry, an international outreach of teaching, evangelism and compassion projects for the world's neediest.

He also leads the Jerusalem Center/Beth Israel, a worship center made up of Jews and Gentiles, and people of all backgrounds, outside New York City in Wayne, New Jersey. 

His ministry can be contacted at HopeoftheWorld.org and on his Facebook.

Deaths Among Female Children Increase by 57% Immediately After Taking Covid-19 Vaccine

Deaths Among Female Children Increase by 57% Immediately After Taking Covid-19 Vaccine

These vaccines do more harm than good. In some cases devastating harm. Still, no mea culpa, no pause.

Kids have almost zero percent risk of dying from covid. Giving them a vaccine can only hurt them.

“Trust the science,” say the media.

Polls show that fewer Americans do. There’s good reason for that.

“They don’t trust science because science is increasingly untrustworthy,” says science writer Andrew Follet in my new video. “The only group that trusts science right now is Democrats.”

Why did Deaths among Female Children increase by 57% immediately after they were offered the Covid-19 Vaccine?

By The Exposé, August 22, 2022

Prior to young girls being offered the Covid-19 vaccine, deaths among the age group were in line with the expected five-year average. But an analysis of official data published by the Office for National Statistics shows that deaths among female children increased by 57% immediately after they were first offered the Covid-19 vaccine.

THE BATTLE BETWEEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT

Most Christians do not understand the fundamental battle between DARKNESS and LIGHT.

America and the World are in DARKNESS. They HATE Christ Jesus because He tells them that what they do is EVIL [John 7:7]

In America the godless, Secular Humanist are ruthlessly and relentlessly trying to CONVERT every American to their godless, Secular Humanist Religion, by the FORCE of Law.

As Christ Jesus is an Evangelist so Satan is an evangelist.

And Scripture tells us, that in the END, Satan is able to get the Whole World to worship him and his son, the Antichrist.

Today, we are watching the prelude to that event.

Homeschooling is on the rise!

Homeschooling is on the rise! It wasn't until compulsory education became widespread in the 1800s that “homeschooling” became the unusual option. In the past, most children learned at home. Parents not only taught the basic courses but provided religious and moral training, as well as passed on life skills and various trades.

Did you know that history is full of famous homeschoolers? Alexander Graham Bell, Abraham Lincoln, Jane Austen, Mozart, Florence Nightingale, and Booker T. Washington are just a few who have been educated from home. Knowing home education is no trend or fad, but rather an enduring practice makes public school, which has only been around for a fraction of history, sadly resemble an experiment.
