  • Getting banned & shut down on YouTube sure is aggravating & inconvenient!

    My video post claims it's too long for here, even after trimming so I will post the transcript!

    So, I guess my video must have really chapped someones backside yesterday because I woke up this morning to the news that my you tube channel has been shut down after right about a year & almost 600 followers. They claim I'm in violation of some sort of spam, deceptive practices or scam policy when all I've done is speak some truths. Atleast I have biblically based messages of faith, salvation & recovery, not useless brain rot & dribble. Not once have I ever asked anyone for money or to click on a link that's a hack site, nor have I led anyone down a path that I wouldn't walk on or haven't walked on myself. And sure, I've had some get upset with me & they voice their opinions & sometimes I even offer a rebutle but most of the time when someone doesn't like what someone has to say on their page they just swipe along & move onto something they enjoy more. I'm not sure who got upset about my post yesterday but I'll say again for clarity, prosperity gospel is misleading! You cannot buy your way into heaven by making some preacher mega rich & no, God won't bless your life any more when you do give more because it's not about the amount, it's about freely giving from your heart what you can, not chasing a fairy tale that some well dressed man tells you! God never promised anyone a cooshy life & maybe that's what gets some of you worked up because many christians & churches have watered down the bible to make them feel good to keep attendance & donations up instead of really paying attention & digging deep into God's word. No matter what some may think of me I have appealed their decision & I will continue on my other current platforms as I feel called to plant seeds of hope, salvation & love in others. I will likely make a new youtube account because I am unashamed of my faith & I'm not scared of any establishment's silly guidelines that violate my 1st amendment right of free speach & freedom of religion! I'm an american, I'm an air force veteran & above all I am happily a child of God!

    YOU CAN REVERSE THE DECREE: RUTH THE MOABITESS ENTERED INTO GOD'S CONGREGATION BEFORE THE TENTH GENERATION!

    ​Grace, peace, and the uncompromising, flesh-crucifying fire of the Holy Ghost to the Beloved, the altar-dwellers, and the true disciples of Jesus Christ!

    ​Today, the Spirit of the Lord is blowing a violent apostolic alarm to shatter the chains of a paralyzed generation. We have a Church full of believers who are sitting in the ashes of their past, defeated by generational curses, bound by family bloodlines, and legally blocked by the demonic decrees spoken over their destiny. You have been told that because of where you come from, you are disqualified from the holy things of God.

    ​Hear me by the Spirit: Pedigree does not dictate destiny when the Blood of the Covenant is applied! You can reverse the decree!

    ​Let us open the surgical book of the Spirit and dissect the terrifying anatomy of a reversed curse, looking at the scandalous, paradigm-shattering mystery of Ruth the Moabitess.

    ​The Terrifying Decree of Disqualification (Deuteronomy 23:3)

    ​To understand the magnitude of Ruth’s miracle, you must first understand the absolute terror of the decree against her. God Himself had spoken a legal injunction against the bloodline of Moab:

    ​"An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever."

    — Deuteronomy 23:3 (NKJV)

    ​Moab was a cursed nation, born out of incest (Genesis 19), and they had hired Balaam to curse Israel. Because of this, God drew a legal boundary of divine rejection. To be barred to the "tenth generation" in biblical law meant perpetual exclusion.

    ​Ruth was a Moabitess. By law, she was completely disqualified. By heritage, she was an outcast. The spiritual decree over her life literally said: "Access Denied. You cannot enter the presence, the priesthood, or the promises of God."

    ​Many of you reading this are standing under a similar decree.

    ​Your bloodline is riddled with witchcraft, divorce, and poverty.

    ​You carry the stigma of a scandalous past, a prison record, or an abortion.

    ​Witches, warlocks, or even bitter spiritual leaders have spoken a decree over your life saying, "You will never rise. You will never marry. You will never carry the anointing."

    ​And because you see the evidence of the decree in your family line, you have accepted it as your permanent reality!

    ​The Violent Covenant that Broke the Curse (Ruth 1:16-17)

    ​Ruth refused to be a prisoner to her pedigree! When Naomi told her to go back to her cursed land, Ruth made a violent, soul-surrendering vow of covenant that literally arrested the attention of Heaven:

    ​"Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God."

    ​Listen to me very carefully: Ruth did not recite a casual "sinner's prayer." She committed spiritual suicide to her past! She renounced the gods of Chemosh, she abandoned the identity of Moab, and she violently attached herself to the God of Israel!

    ​When you make an unconditional, flesh-crucifying surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ, the laws of the spirit realm must rewrite themselves! Covenant supersedes legality!

    ​The Kinsman-Redeemer’s Override (Matthew 1:5)

    ​Because of her radical consecration, Ruth caught the eye of Boaz, the Kinsman-Redeemer (a prophetic type of Jesus Christ). When Boaz spread his garment over her, he did not just cover her nakedness; he legally overrode the decree of Deuteronomy 23!

    ​Did Ruth wait ten generations? Absolutely not! She bypassed the curse, bypassed the waiting period, and bypassed the legal requirements. She married Boaz, gave birth to Obed, who fathered Jesse, who fathered King David! This I think should be around the third or fourth generations.

    ​The woman who was legally banned from the congregation ended up carrying the very seed of the Messiah! She is listed in the royal genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew chapter 1! The decree was not just canceled; it was entirely reversed into a monumental blessing!

    ​The Prophetic Verdict: The Blood Speaks Better Things!

    ​It does not matter what the medical report says about your family's genetics. It does not matter what the village altars have decreed over your surname. It does not matter what the religious Pharisees say about your scandalous past!

    ​If you will drag your life to the altar of sacrifice, if you will utterly renounce the idols of your fathers, and if you will violently surrender to the Kinsman-Redeemer, the Blood of Jesus will override the decree! The Blood of the Lamb is the Supreme Court of the Universe! It speaks better things than the blood of your ancestry!

    ​A Prayer of Violent Reversal and Covenant Surrender

    ​"Lord God Almighty, the Supreme Judge and the Kinsman-Redeemer, I fall on my face before You today! I repent for agreeing with the curses of my bloodline. I repent for believing the lie that my past has permanently disqualified my future. Father, today I violently renounce the 'Moab' of my ancestry! I renounce the generational altars of poverty, lust, delay, and witchcraft. I decree that Your people are my people, and Your God is my God! I plead the speaking Blood of Jesus Christ over my destiny. Let the Blood of the Covenant strike down every legal decree, every demonic injunction, and every ancestral limitation speaking against my life! Spread Your garment of righteousness over me. Override the timeline of the enemy, and graft me into Your prophetic purpose! In the holy, terrifying, and uncompromising name of Jesus Christ, Amen!"

    ​If the Holy Ghost just shattered the generational limitations over your mind, and you are making a violent decision to reverse the decree of your past today, type "AMEN" in the comments right now as a public seal of your deliverance!

  • THE LAW OF THE IRON ROD: WHAT IS FORBIDDEN IN CHRIST’S KINGDOM
    1. Moral and Sexual Defiance
    Homosexuality and Effeminacy: All forms of sexual expression outside of biblical marriage (one man, one woman) are completely banned (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
    Fornication and Adultery: All forms of sexual immorality, casual promiscuity, and marital infidelity are strictly illegal and swiftly judged.
    Pornography and Public Indecency: The exploitation of the human body and the commercialization of lust are totally suppressed, as the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord (Isaiah 11:9).

    2. Dietary Defiance and Ceremonial Defilement
    Swine (Pigs) and Unclean Meats: The consumption and promotion of swine is not allowed. Isaiah links the eating of swine’s flesh to those who face judgment at the establishing of the kingdom (Isaiah 66:17). Priests in this era will enforce the strict distinction between the clean and the unclean (Ezekiel 44:23).
    Blood and Strangled Animals: The foundational law against consuming blood (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:14) is universally enforced across the globe.

    3. Ideological and Religious Rebellion
    Idolatry and False Religions: Every false deity, occultic practice, and secular philosophy is wiped out. Shrines, temples, and secular institutions are removed (Zechariah 13:2).
    Atheism and Agnosticism: Open denial of God is legally forbidden and impossible, as Christ’s physical presence on the throne of David in Jerusalem is an undeniable global reality (Habakkuk 2:14).
    Witchcraft, Sorcery, and the Occult: Astrology, tarot, mediumship, and all forms of demonic manipulation are completely rooted out and carry immediate capital consequences.

    4. Geopolitical and Societal Rebellion
    Warfare and Military Aggression: Standing armies, military defense spending, and geopolitical conflicts are banned. Nations are forced to disarm completely (Isaiah 2:4).
    Legal Injustice and Judicial Corruption: Bribery, corrupt judges, and political lobbying do not exist. Christ judges righteously and instantly (Isaiah 11:4).
    Refusal to Worship: Nations cannot opt out of the global standard. Any nation refusing to send delegates to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles faces immediate environmental judgment (Zechariah 14:16-17).

    5. Spiritual and Supernatural Restrictions
    Satanic Infiltration: Satan is locked away in a bottomless pit for the entire duration of the thousand years, meaning his active deception, whispering, and systemic orchestration of global evil is entirely prohibited and blocked (Revelation 20:2).

  • A Narrow Road and a Good Tree

    Jesus has just discussed the judgment that individual believers are obligated to do and now He is illustrating that idea with another warning. He is telling them that the majority are on a wide path headed for destruction. There will be those who don't believe in Jesus as Lord, there will be those who accepted an unbiblical Jesus in a large cult, there will be fake Christians who never fully trusted Him and live accordingly. ALL of them are on a broad road.

    There's a natural inclination we have to follow the crowd. You can see it in our daily behavior. Here Jesus is making it clear that if you are basing your salvation on the number of like minded people surrounding you, you are likely lost.

    He tells us that only a few will be saved. That the road the saved travel on is a small one, and hard to find. Then he tells us why.

    Beware false prophets he says. It is amazing to me that there were church leaders fighting against the apostles themselves. Yes, the apostles Peter, Paul, and John all dealt with false teachers, some of them even named and called out publicly.

    Some false teachers were teaching gnosticism, others were teaching a works based gospel. Paul warns of the day approaching fast when the false teachers would dominate the scene. First Timothy chapter 4:1-4 tells of a time where the doctrines of demons where among the teachings would forbid some to marry and to forbid the eating of meats.

    I don't need to inform you of which false teachers emerged with those specific doctrines, because you all know. Yes, I was at one point a catholic. But I spent years studying scripture alone when I discovered that the papacy had actually had the Bible on the list of books banned by the Roman Catholic church until 1952.

    Banning His people from the reading of scripture is a very anti-God thing to do. A clear indication that the Roman Catholic church has never been part of the narrow road that leads to life. And never will be.

    He then uses the illustration of the good tree. Jesus is saying that a good tree doesn't produce bad fruit. Likewise, a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit. Our lives as we travel the narrow road should produce good fruit. The gospel message should be getting to all people, and the church should be growing.

    Jesus's point is that if the tree (believer/church) is producing bad fruit (false doctrine, etc) then that tree is bad. Not a different kind of tree (believer/church) “who interprets something differently” but a bad one, leading to destruction.


    Matthew 7:13-20

    [13] “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. [14] For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it. [15] “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. [16] You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? [17] So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] So then, you will know them by their fruits.

  • BREAKING:
    What London Just Did To Its Muslims Changes EVERYTHING — Not Even Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan Could Stop This!
    FULL STORY: https://northwavenews.com/posts/londons-stunning-mycay/
    For nearly a decade, Londoners were told nothing could be done about the controversial Al-Quds Day March — the annual procession through the capital where Hezbollah flags flew, extremist chants echoed, and ties to the Iranian regime were openly displayed.
    Year after year, Sadiq Khan defended the march, insisting it couldn’t be banned “within the parameters of the law.” Even when the London Assembly voted unanimously to stop it, Khan shrugged it off.
    But in March 2026, everything changed.
    The Metropolitan Police Commissioner requested a full ban. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood — a Muslim woman herself — approved it under rarely used powers of the Public Order Act. The march that had marched for 40 years was stopped in its tracks — without needing Sadiq Khan’s permission.
    This isn’t just about one march. It’s a seismic shift. The British state has shown it can act when it chooses to. The political will that was missing for years has finally appeared.
    The Overton window has moved. What was once “unsayable” is now happening.

The British state has shown it can act when it chooses to. The political will that was missing for years has finally appeared. The Overton window has moved. What was once “unsayable” is now happening.

  • Today's (15-04-2026) Prayer Focus:

    *The Rising Tide of Sexual Violence Against Children*

    Pray regarding the alarming reality that sexual violence against young children is increasing day by day; command—in the name of Jesus Christ—that the works of child pornography (which serve as a primary catalyst for the devil to incite lustful desires against children) be bound and cast down into the abyss.

    Although laws against child pornography exist in many nations, these materials continue to be shared, creating distressing situations that persist despite legal barriers; place this burden at the feet of the Lord, and pray that laws be significantly strengthened and strictly enforced, so that the Lord's redemptive work may be made manifest.

    Pray regarding the tragic reality that, despite being banned, child pornography videos remain easily accessible; pray that governments will intensify their surveillance over such content—recognizing that even if specific pornographic websites are blocked, they often continue to operate through alternative channels—and pray that the Lord will intervene to rectify the dire situation where the lives of many children are being destroyed because images, once uploaded to the internet, can rarely be permanently erased.

    Pray for a reversal of the escalating trend where individuals, harboring hidden lusts toward children, prey upon and exploit innocent children to gratify their perverse desires; pray that the Lord will extend His grace, enabling such perpetrators to experience true repentance.

    Pray regarding the global crisis of child trafficking—a massive illicit trade involving the buying and selling of children—through which countless children are abducted, forced into prostitution, and robbed of their lives and futures; place the plight of these children at the feet of the Lord, and—with a heart of deep empathy and tears of compassion—pray fervently that the Lord will intervene to rescue and redeem them. Pray that, in the name of Jesus Christ, every evil work of the adversary—which drives the citizens of our nation into a state where love grows cold, and which has led to an increase in incidents of child sexual abuse during the COVID-19 lockdown period (perpetrated by parents seeking their own hedonistic pleasures and to gratify their own lusts)—may be utterly destroyed; and pray that the affected children may find comfort through the love of God.

    Pray that the Lord may grant His grace to establish a special task force dedicated to protecting children from sexual violence; to create proper public awareness regarding emergency helplines for reporting such crimes; to ensure that these helpline numbers function effectively; and, specifically, to raise awareness about sexual violence among school students.

    Pray that the Lord may grant His grace to bring about a change in the current situation where many children face sexual harassment in schools at a very young age; and pray that school administrations may handle such incidents—particularly those involving fellow students, teachers, or drivers of school transport vehicles—with vigilance and take appropriate corrective actions.

    Pray that everyone currently ensnared in such lustful desires and living in sin may find deliverance in the name of Jesus; and pray that the Lord may shelter, protect, and guide the children within the safety of His own hands, ensuring they do not fall prey to the lusts of others.

  • Born in the Crossfire




    Babies are cute and they seem innocent, but are quick to learn how to exploit and manipulate their mothers and later the father and other members of the family. They have to be trained at a very early age to know their place and learn the routines of life. Inherently babies are evil, and born sinful. The Psalmist reveals to us that we are conceived in sin:

    Ps 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

    You may exclaim: “It is not fair that I was evil before I could even take responsibility.” What chance do we have to be saved if we are born evil. If righteousness and salvation depends on our own performance and merit, we are lost from the start and doomed to die. It is impossible for us to be good and to gain salvation on our own accord. How did this happen? Let us look at the origin of our sinfulness.

    Adam was created in perfection, and there was no evil in him. His wife, Eve, likewise was created in perfection. There was just one way in which they could sin, and this would be their choice. God placed in the Garden of Eden, their home, a tree of which they were not to eat. Why did God place this temptation in their perfect world? He did that because He was involved in a controversy. The leading angel in heaven had challenged God on the way He governed His kingdom, the Universe. God reprimanded him and told him where it would lead to. The angel, Lucifer, eventually did not heed His warnings and openly sowed discord among the angels against God. One third of the angels decided to support Lucifer against God. God could have annihilated them, but that would have been the end of God’s regime of love. The loyal angels would have remained loyal out of fear of being destroyed. For that reason God simply banned Lucifer and his followers from heaven.

    Adam and Eve were created after the banning of the angels from heaven. They were created perfectly just as Lucifer and all the angels were perfect before their rebellion. However, to give Lucifer – Satan – a chance to prove his way of ruling his domain, Adam and Eve were given free choice, and the ability to ascribe to Satan’s way if they so pleased. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was placed in the Garden for Adam to be able to subscribe to Satan’s regime – a polling booth if you please. God warned them to not eat of that tree, because in the day that they did, they would surely die.

    For many years they lived blissfully in their garden home and had no need to eat the fruit of that tree. They had every type of fruit that they may have desired. Those many years, Satan waited for his chance to subject them to his wiles. One day, Eve wandered off from Adam. She found herself admiring the forbidden tree, wondering what it was that made the tree so bad. While wondering, she heard a strange voice coming from the tree. She looked to see the being that was talking to her. She knew the voices of Adam, God the Father and Jesus only. Focusing on the tree she saw a snake in it, a large one. They knew snakes, but had never heard one speak, or any other animal for that matter. The snake was eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It was eating and surviving. He then sowed the seeds of doubt in Eve’s mind:

    Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
    2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
    3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
    4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
    5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

    Satan in the form of a snake deceived Eve. She ate of the fruit and did not feel the pangs of death. She imagined exhilaration. She then took some of the fruit and offered it to Adam. He immediately recognised the fruit as that belonging to the forbidden tree. His beautiful wife had succumbed to the wiles of Satan. He was faced with the choice between obedience to God, or throwing his destiny in with that of his wife. He chose the latter. He loved his wife more than God. He willfully and consciously decided to eat the fruit:

    Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

    Satan’s statement was not all lies. It was a white lie. They did become as gods, knowing good and evil, but the knowledge was not desirable as the serpent had suggested to Eve:

    Eccl 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

    At the moment they partook of the fruit of that tree, they changed. They lost their immortality. Their genes changed. Incorporated into their genes was the propensity to sin. Adam, who had loved his wife so much that he chose her before God, turned on her when God inquired about their state of being. Before sin they were naked in the garden, yet unashamed. They were clothed in light, but when they sinned the light went out. Becoming aware of the change, they felt exposed for the first time, and hid in the garden and covered their shame with fig leaves.

    Gen 3:9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
    10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
    11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
    12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

    Adam accused Eve of leading him into eating the fruit, blaming God too, calling her the woman He had given him. Evil had entered into their hearts. Eve likewise blamed the snake. From this point on, incorporated into the genes of mankind and his offspring, there was the natural inclination to evil. We cannot help it. We are born self-centred – I am number one! Goodness and care for others have to be cultivated. Parents have to teach their children to care for others. God also instilled goodness into Adam and Eve after they had succumbed to evil. He said to the snake that He would make man hate evil:

    Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    After God put enmity between us and Satan, we have in our hearts these warring factions. Within us is both evil in our genes and flesh, and goodness which God reinstilled into us. We have literally become victims in the controversy between God and Satan. We are born in the crossfire of this great and significant conflict. How are we extracted from this conflict? The answer to this is well described in Romans 5. By Adam evil and death came into the world and to all his progeny. His progeny have a lesser sin than Adam. The only way out of this dilemma is by the second Adam – Christ:

    Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
    14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
    15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
    16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
    17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
    18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
    19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

    Adam brought sin into all the World. Christ pathed the way of righteousness to all the World as a free gift. We have to accept the free gift. If we reject it Christ’s death for us is in vain. What is also emphasized is that the free gift of Christ is far greater and stronger than the miss-step of Adam.

    We have been born into the crossfire without our consent or doing. Likewise we have a way of escape from the crossfire without our merits or deeds by Christ. Our sinfulness is not our doing, likewise our salvation is not our doing, it is a free gift presented to us by the love of God through His Son.

    Revel in God’s love and the freedom He has provided.
