A Miracle of Prayer in Nigeria

DAILY DEVOTIONAL – APRIL 29, 2023

A Miracle of Prayer in Nigeria

By Carter Conlon

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NKJV).

I climbed the steps to the platform, constructed on the roof of a concession stand overlooking multiple soccer fields. As I looked out over the sea of Nigerian faces, I could not see the edge of the crowd in any direction. I cued our praise band, and as it and the choir struck their first note, a tremendous wind suddenly hit the stage. Lightning flashed around us, and above our heads torrents of rain came at us from all four directions at once.

A large partition behind the choir risers came crashing down in the wind and injured several people. I turned and saw the havoc that was happening in the choir and the fear that was sweeping over the platform as the wind, rain and lightning continued under a clear starry night sky.

Our entire team did the most important thing that we could ever do: we prayed. There was no doubt that we were engaging in a spiritual struggle with the powers of darkness. As the storm raged, I asked Michael, an American missionary our church supported, to step up to the one working microphone and rebuke the storm.

“In the name of Christ Jesus,” Michael cried out, “wind and rain, stop!”

The moment Michael shouted those words, the wind, rain and lightning stopped as suddenly as they had begun. I was told a witch came into the crowd not far from the platform where I was to speak and began to curse the people who had come to worship. Rather than succumb to fear, the believers cried out to God. God, I am told, responded by paralyzing the witch where she stood and striking her dumb. Still in an attitude of prayer, the believers around her then led her to Christ.

After preaching a message of pure salvation for over an hour, I issued a challenge: “If you want forgiveness for your sins…simply raise your hand.” No fewer than one hundred thousand people raised their hands to receive their Savior that night.

Back in my hotel room hours later, I got on my knees to thank the Lord. I had barely begun to pray when I heard the Lord say, “Don’t limit me. Don’t limit what I can do.”

This devotional is drawn from Carter Conlon’s book It’s Time to Pray.

You Won't Be Able To Buy Or Sell

In March 2022, Joe Biden quietly issued an executive order that if implemented will destroy whatever is left of American liberty and the free market system.

In July of this year, the Federal Reserve will begin the initial steps of issuing a new digital currency designed to monitor and dictate your every move — that is unless we can stop them.

Two pieces of legislation would bar Biden from capturing and controlling every cent of YOUR money.

Save your bank account and your freedom from Big Brother.

Take a moment to FAX CONGRESS NOW, then read on for the details of this shocking plan to turn America into a dystopian movie. — Mat

Tell Congress to VOTE YES on HR 1122 and S 887 to protect Americans from Biden’s CCP-like FedCoin!

Friend,

On March 9, 2022, Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14,067 entitled “Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.”

According to the order, Biden’s new initiative is designed for “protection of consumers” and “data privacy.”

But as we have found with most things issued from the Biden administration, the truth is the exact opposite of what proceeds out of Joe Biden’s mouth — or from his pen.

Order 14,067 is the opening salvo in Biden’s desire to mimic the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) financial control over its citizens by:

Eliminating cash,
Eliminating private banking by making the government your bank,
Forcing everyone on to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Tracking, tracing, and controlling every single cent you own or spend.

Protect YOUR financial privacy! Tell Congress to VOTE YES on HR 1122 & S 887!

“The development of a digital currency should worry Americans everywhere,” says Justin Haskins, director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute.

“Once a digital currency is in place, government and/or Federal Reserve officials would have more power than ever to control, track and coerce individuals and U.S. businesses—likely without needing new laws approved by Congress.”

If Biden gets his way, the level of government intrusion into our lives cannot be overstated.

The very first section of Biden’s executive order says this new currency will be used for, among other things, “human rights; financial inclusion and equity; and energy demand and climate change.”

But the only way currency can be used to achieve these objectives is through government control of your finances.

When a CBDC is issued, the Fed becomes your bank.

As such, not only will they see every cent you make and spend — without a warrant — but they can also CONTROL every penny you make or spend, with one click.

Join me now in demanding Congress VOTE YES on HR 1122 and S 887! to Stop Central Bank Digital Currencies.

If Joe Biden gets the digital currency he wants, with a touch of a button, your finances can be frozen for political opposition.

Your mortgage could be denied for not having a high social credit score via compliance with LGBTQ initiatives.

You won't be able to escape.

“Once the transition to a digital dollar is complete,” says Haskins, “you wouldn't be able to go to the bank or an ATM and get physical cash out of an account that contains your digital currency.”

Instead, your only means to pay for goods or services will be via the government’s card or app, and you will be completely subject to their whims.

Food stamps and welfare cards already work this way.

Though users may have credits or funds in their accounts, they are prevented from spending those credits or dollars on items and services the government prohibits.

In China, the CBDC digital yuan system is used to enslave citizens to the CCP’s whims.

In 2020, a young man named Johnny* received what he thought was the opportunity of a lifetime — an internship with a major Chinese company.

On a free weekend, Johnny took what was supposed to be a three-day weekend to Malaysia.

Unfortunately, Johnny fell ill in the island nation and had to be hospitalized.

When Johnny did not show up to his job Monday morning, his entire Chinese bank account, nearly 7,000 dollars – a fortune for a 20-year-old – had been completely wiped out by the Chinese government, which had also tried to order the Malaysian hospital to seize Johnny’s passport.

The CCP had Johnny over a barrel.

Johnny was told that if he returned to China immediately, his money and social credits would be restored ... but only if Johnny did exactly as the party told him.

Johnny was broke and paperless, and at the mercy of the CCP. Thanks to friends with international connections, he was able to return to the U.S.

Joe Biden would love this level of control over you or me or any of the other truth tellers.

We cannot allow this totalitarian fiscal scheme to grow on our shores!

We MUST stop this Orwellian takeover of our finances!

Right now, Congress is considering two bills to protect our privacy from Joe Biden — HR 1122 and S 887. Please take a moment right now to fax Congress and demand they VOTE YES on HR 1122 & S 887!

In Pursuit of Peace

LISTEN

Sometimes you can’t live peaceably with some people. They’re ill-tempered and don’t want to get along with anyone, including you.

That is why the Bible says, “Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18 NLT). Notice the phrase “do all that you can.” That means you make the effort.

Jesus said, “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God” (Matthew 5:23–24 NLT).

For instance, let’s say that someone has wronged you and you’re angry about it. You’re at church worshipping, but you can’t stop thinking about what they did to you. Something is wrong. It’s hindering your prayer life.

You need to go to that person and try to resolve the conflict. It may be just a misunderstanding. Maybe you say, “The other day you made this comment, and this is the way I took it. Is that how you meant it?”

“Of course not!” they reply. “The last thing I want to do is offend you!”

On the other hand, they might tell you that is exactly what they meant and then say something even worse to offend you. What do you do then?

You’ve done what you were supposed to do. If they don’t want to reconcile with you, then it has become their problem. Put it into the hands of God, and pray for them. If they want to stay mad at you, then let it go.

When you’ve made the effort, when you’ve tried to reconcile, you can know that you’ve done your part. And you can come before God with a clean conscience.

How to Reach 700,000 Christian Voters in Time

What do you think? poll!
Important: Play this video explaining Oregon Political Tax Credit!

After reading the headline you might be asking yourself, "In time for what?" May 16th is a very important Election in Oregon history, but most people don't realize it. Why? It is a school board election. Schools are where the current battle is. Do you think there are 100 genders? Do you think kids as young as 6 years old should/can make life changing decisions about their future ability to have children of their own? Do you want to have your son, or daughter, grandson or granddaughter come home and announce their new pronoun to you because they were counseled at a vulnerable time of great weakness to consider something that would change their entire future at an age where they are too young to drive, vote, drink alcohol and make basic life decisions that no one should be making? What did God say in Genisis 1:27? He said "So God created Humans in His image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

In a worldview where there is no creator God, nature can make mistakes and I can become a god and attempt to change the outward manifestation of my gender, but in a world view where there is a creator God, he has made us all in His image. God has a purpose in that creation, a very special purpose with our gender.

Imagine talking to over 700,000 Judeo-Christian world view Oregonians about voting in these elections. That is how many contacts Oregon Faith and Freedom PAC has access to. There are 55,000 deliverable emails and 668,000 digital Id's. What if we could email the list several times? What if we could reach out digitally to the list of digital id's? To both lists we could send reminders to register to vote, vote, find other ways to remind and register to vote people they know (surprisingly 1/5 of Oregonians aren't registered to vote), and have impact on the turnout for these elections. Could we change the outcomes in the upcoming May 16 primaries for school boards? You can help us make this happen with a donation below.

Often these elections draw less than 20 or 25% of the electorate. People don't think the positions are important. But, as Critical Race Theory (where a certain people group is blamed for all current problems), gender dysphoria and confusion spreads destroying our kids ability to reproduce. Parents Rights to even know about treatments their minor children are undergoing is attacked, and of course the ever dropping scores as schools seem to be indoctrinating our kids - instead of teaching, we must weigh in on these very important positions..

We all see that the woke progressive left has captured our State House and represents the Secular Humanist Worldview. Should we stand by while more woke progressives get elected to Oregon school boards? Oregon Faith and Freedom is committed to getting Christians to engage in the culture war and vote. As you can see, from the last election, where about $38 million was raised and spent to get the same 43% conservatives always get, something must change. That change is the development of our own "ground and pound" game.

How about joining Oregon Faith and Freedom for a weekly prayer and action zoom call? Email jeffk@oregonfaithandfreedom.org to discuss. Please join us in transforming the Oregon political landscape today.

Election Integrity's Biggest Threat: Big Tech
Why Republicans Cannot Win; Monitor Tech Manipulations, Make Findings Public

by Robert Epstein • April 30, 2023 at 5:00 am

[T]ech companies... can flip elections any and all ways they please without anyone knowing.
When you monitor, you can catch them in their shenanigans, and you can get them to back down. We got Google to back down by exposing some of the manipulations that they were engaging in in the presidential election.
You may not have heard the term "ephemeral experiences" before.... These are very brief experiences that we all have online every day. They are things like newsfeeds, search results, search suggestions, sequences of YouTube videos. None of that is recorded anywhere. It affects us, as Google executives know full well.
It just appears, we click, and it disappears. It is stored nowhere, it leaves no paper trail for authorities to trace. It can be used to manipulate, and it is being used to manipulate very deliberately and strategically, especially at Google. I think some of the other companies as well have been catching on, especially Facebook.
[A]s of 2015, you could shift so many votes that way that we calculated that upwards of 25 percent of the national elections in the world – the outcomes of those elections – were being determined by Google's search engine.
[These manipulations] are shifting people's opinions week by week. [They] are shifting people out of the undecided group into the other groups. People are making up their minds, but because of the bias in search results, anything that they search on, anything political at all, is leading them to web pages that make one candidate look better than the other....
You play that forward for six months. When you get to the election, you have an enormous gap. You have created a gap of more than 100,000 people between the votes we shift into Democrats and the votes we shift to Republicans – with no one knowing and with no paper trail. That is roughly how this works.
[I]n 2016, my team and I developed the first-ever system for doing to the tech companies what they do to us.... [W]e are monitoring what they are showing real people on those screens.
[I]n all the days we looked at before the election, we saw pro-Hillary Clinton bias and never any pro-Trump bias. I was a Clinton supporter, so that was fine with me, but do we really want private companies manipulating elections on a large scale with no one knowing and without leaving a paper trail?... If that bias had been present for six months, millions of votes would have been shifted with no one knowing.
Some people saw vote reminders on Google's home page. Some people saw vote reminders for months. That too can shift votes.... [It] can determine who sends in mail ballots and can also determine who registers to vote.
What you see again is that pattern. It is so disturbing. The highest level of those vote reminders was seen by moderates, then liberals, then conservatives at the bottom: fewer vote reminders going to one particular political group. Over time, that has an incredible impact on an election.
This is not like all the nonsense you see about – and I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone – but the nonsense about voter fraud. Those are tiny incidents compared to what is happening here on a massive scale. That is because Google search results are seen each day in the United States 500 million times.
This is not like stuffing a ballot box with a few hundred ballots. This is a massive manipulation. That is why monitoring has to be set up. No laws, no regulations will ever stop this. Monitoring can stop it cold.
As far as I know, I'm the only one in the world doing this research and this monitoring. That is because Google is paying off everyone else.
[A]pparently by going public with our findings in October and November and December of 2020, we got Google to stay out of Georgia. This [graph] shows you bias on the Google search engine. That line, it is practically at zero.... Google sent out no go‑vote reminders in Georgia. This tells you, you see, that you can get these companies to back down.
When it comes to control over the gateway to all information around the world, I am sorry, but they have to be strictly regulated. It is not going to happen, however, because Google owns the Democrats, and the Republicans do not like regulation.
If the government passes any kind of legislation at all, if they change any regulations at all, it is all going to be completely toothless. A lot of these people are in Google's pocket. Even conservative organizations. A lot of conservative organizations now are accepting money, large donations, from Google.
Our children are being brainwashed 24 hours a day by these tech companies. I have five children. I am very concerned about this. I do not want my kids and grandkids growing up in a world that is literally being run by private tech companies.
[To monitor Big Tech] the on nonprofit side [will take] $50 million. We do not need it all at once. To set up the system in all 50 states, that is a $50 million project. Roughly a million dollars per state. That will allow us to keep the thing going for a long time. In other words, part of that money will be going towards development efforts.
Then for people who want to make investments on the for‑profit side, we are willing to work with people, because there is room here to establish a for‑profit company – a Hewlett Packard, if you want to think of it that way – that provides commercial services for organizations, campaigns, law firms, companies of all sorts that want to monitor these tech companies.
I have no idea at the moment what the Supreme Court will do because... conservatives are very anti‑regulation. People do not understand that we have to make an exception for these tech companies.
We have to understand that [the services they provide] are as essential now as air and water. They must be regulated. Access to all information, the gateway to all information – that has to be regulated. Our brains are shaped according to the information we receive. We have to protect that process.
You cannot break up the Google search engine. It will not work.... By the way, Google is one of Elizabeth Warren's major donors. I bet you that breakup plan that she proposed was actually developed at Google.
If you "break up big tech," all you are doing is forcing them to sell off a few of the companies they bought. Google buys on average another company every week. [A "breakup" will] just enrich them....
It does not take away the three big threats: The threat to democracy, the threat to free speech, and of course the manipulation and the surveillance that is occurring. "Breaking them up" will have no impact on the big threats that these companies pose.
When it comes to politics, we have to face the sad truth. People are generally out for themselves. They often put their personal priorities and their desire to get reelected ahead of their ideals, the ideals of this country, or the ideals that are embodied in the constitution. We have all seen this over and over again.
I published an article... in the Epoch Times explaining why, in general, Republicans cannot win. It is because there are so many different methods available to these tech companies for manipulating opinions and votes without people's awareness. We have discovered about a dozen of them since 2013.
Right now, we are studying one called the YouTube Manipulation Effect... We are quantifying the impact of that "up‑next" algorithm – the impact of supplying people with video after video after video, which might, in fact, be very biased, as we found in our election monitoring where highly biased videos were being suggested.
If you think of all of these different techniques and imagine them all being used at the same time, and imagine the major tech companies all having the same politics, we are talking about an unstoppable force, especially when you throw in with that the fact that 96 percent of donations from Google go to members of one party.
It happens to be the party that I like, but still, how do you stop a force like that that has access to all of those different means of manipulation and that is using them? That is what all the whistleblowers have told us in the past couple of years.
That is what all the leaked documents have shown us, the leaked videos, the leaked emails. It is all very consistent. Yet these people go in front of Congress and they just lie, lie, lie.... Congress does not even call them on it.
I saw a Google [exec] asked, under oath – I believe it was by Senator Josh Hawley – "Does Google have any blacklists?" [He replied]... under oath, on camera, "No, Senator. We do not."
It was not many months later that Zach Vorhies, who had been a senior software engineer at Google for eight and a half years, walks out of Google with 950 pages of documents and a video, which he sent immediately to the Attorney General of the United States, in which there were blacklists, among other things – actual Google blacklists that were labeled "blacklists".... Shouldn't you call them something else?... I would. But they were actually called blacklists.
There is a simple way to end Google's monopoly on search. Their index – their big database they use to generate search results – just make it public.
When you consider that we are spending billions now in campaigns, $50 million to get this system going is not all that much. That is how you do it. We not only can collect the data very, very rapidly and analyze it rapidly, we know now that we can get these companies to back off.
One of the leaks from Google, not long ago, was an eight‑minute video called "The Selfish Ledger," about the ability Google has to re‑engineer humanity according to "company values."
Google is the biggest threat. They have the most power to manipulate, and they do so aggressively and strategically and unapologetically. They are arrogant people, in my opinion. Extremely arrogant people who think they have the power of gods. You know what? They do, and they exercise it.

(Image source: iStock)

If I could show you some of the data that we collected, you would be astounded.

There is a lot more that we can find. The bottom line on this is going to be that the types of monitoring systems that we have been developing since 2016, I am pretty sure at this point that they need to be permanent, large scale, and operating in all 50 states to protect our free-and-fair elections from interference by tech companies, which can flip elections any and all ways they please without anyone knowing.

Tech will always be far ahead of laws and regulations, but monitoring is also tech. If we are monitoring them, we are doing to them what they do to us 24/7.

When you monitor, you can catch them in their shenanigans, and you can get them to back down. As you're going to see, apparently, we got Google to back down by exposing some of the manipulations that they were engaging in before the 2020 presidential election.
