Today, I'm going to be helping Hugh Allen, whose house burned to the ground about 1.5 weeks ago. Hugh is 85 years old and in pretty good shape for his age but not too rebuild from scratch.

I will be going live here on X and on scene about 10 a.m. this morning if you want to join me live.

He has to replace everything, clothes, pots and pans, money (yes, his little stash of cash is gone too!). This poor man lost some of his dogs in the fire as well.

I founded an international non-profit organization 20 years ago and a current director. I retired 5 years ago as an executive officer of AmerinRio, Inc. an IRS 501 (c) 3, so all donations are tax deductible. Zelle QR code is below. Scan it to make any size donation. Even $1 will help us help him.

Like most of us here in the Sierra Blanca TX area, we live in the remote desert aea about 85 miles east of El Paso. Myself included, so it's difficult to get lumber and supplies.

I am going to assess the damages today and see what can be salvaged to rebuild a house or maybe buy him a trailer or something.

Any suggestions or ideas appreciated.

Love you all in Christ Jesus Donald ❤️

Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV)
There are 18 things listed for the works of the flesh. If you know these verbatim, then you can discern who you are talking to. That is to say, Satan or one who is still walking in the ways of this world. Gal. 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;

Here they are:
1. Adultery, 2. fornication,
3. Uncleanness,
4. Lasciviousness, 5. Idolatry,
6. Witchcraft, 7. Hatred,
8. Variance, 9. Emulations,
10. Wrath, 11. Strife,
12. Seditions, 13. Heresies,
14. Envyings, 15. Murders,
16. Drunkenness, 17. Revellings, 18. And such like:

of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, THAT THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

"PERIOD END OF STORY"

Christians, this is your guide to know how to tell the difference between the ways of this world or the difference between a Christian and the lost.

Galatians also tells us who or how to spot a true born-again bible believing Spirit filled Christian because they strive to do and live by the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT WHICH ARE THESE 9. Also, found in Galatians 5 22-26.

22. But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS 1. Love, 2. Joy, 3. Peace, 4. Long-suffering,
5. Gentleness, 6. Goodness,
7. Faith, 8. Meekness, 9. Temperance, against such, there is no law.

Your homework assignment is to read the rest of Chapter 5 to know the full Scripture.

ALL THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS AND ARE SPEWING HATRED ON SOCIAL YOU ARE NOT SHOWING YOUR CHRIST LIKENESS AT ALL.

THIS IS JUST A GENTLE REMINDER TO GAURD YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AND SEEK THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO DWELLS WITHI YOU BEFORE POSTING THINGS THAT ARE OF THE FLESH.

Love you all in Christ Jesus ❤️

Keep following as I continue to grow in God's Word. In the meantime, here are a couple of Grok imagine animations of me for inspiration.

[Donald McElfresh @DonaldMcElfresh]

For those who are called by God into the ministry, here's a piece of advice.

I'm going to give you an example of how God can and will use you.

I'm sure everyone knows the story of Balaam and his talking donkey. If not, the scriptures are at the end.

As for me I’m no public speaker. I have no fancy words. Just His Holy Spirit and His Word.
But if He can use a donkey (an ass!) to speak to Balaam… then He can surely use me.

This is the power of the God I serve. He spoke through an ass or donkey if you prefer. No, he didn't use ventriliquism he caused the donkey to speak verbally. Moses was another example of someone with slow speech and a slow tongue.

There are two things to see here.
***Number One, he gave the donkey words to speak.

***Number two, he gave the donkey his first public appearance, and instantly, he became a public speaker.

NOTICE; He didn't hesitate he just obeyed the voice of God and opened his mouth, and spoke. I guess I wouldn't hesitate either if my master kept beating me trying to get me to go.

Stop listening to those around you questioning your calling and telling you that you aren't qualified. We have the best professor in the world. We have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, or at least you should. If not, ask God to send him so that you are filled with his Holy Spirit today. After all, God's Holy Spirit is an extension of God himself and his Son Yeshua-Jesus.

Here's the story of Balaam and 'Donkey' where we have seen a talking donkey today, albeit in cartoon form. Satan uses Hollywood to show us who and what he is if you are paying attention.

NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY...

The story of Balaam and his talking donkey is found in the Bible in Numbers 22:21-35 (NIV below for easy reading).

21. Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials.

22. But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him. NOTE 2 SERVANTS HIS PUBLIC AUDIENCE.

23. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road.

24. Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides.

25. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.

26. Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left.

27. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff.

28. Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”

29. Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”

30. The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”
“No,” he said.

31. Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low & fell facedown.

32. The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.

33. The donkey saw me & turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.”

34. Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now, if you are displeased, I will go back.”

35. The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but do only what I tell you.”

Are you being a witness to Jesus? Or are you being a witness for the enemy of Christianity?

Today, we need to check our attitude with the scriptures from Galatians 5: 22-26 and Acts 1:8.

Galatians tells us of the 9 fruits of the Spirit. Check them and memorize them to know when and how to be a true witness of the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏. Just before that, in Galatians 5:19-21, we see the 18 works of the flesh or the ways of this world, i.e., sin.

Acts Chapter 1 verse 8 tells us we are to be his witness by and through the Holy Spirit. By the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we have the power to be a beacon of hope to the world. If you have the Holy Spirit to come into your life and he dwells in you, then you have the power of the sun inside you.
Likewise you have the same Spirit of God who dwelt in the tabernacle in the days of Moses.

Now look at this....you have the same Holy Spirit of God that I have and everyone else has who are born-again Spirit filled Christians on the planet.

WE HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT OF GOD IN US!

SEE THE PHOTO FOR ACTS 1:8!

Why do churches not uphold the five-fold ministry these days?

[Donald Witness of God (Yahweh) @HisHope4us]

I would encourage everyone to read their Bible in 60 days or less. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as to which book you read first, then allow him to guide you through the next books as he directs.
WARNING: BE SURE TO HAVE A HIGHLIGHTER HANDY AND DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU ARE JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE IN THE BOOKS AS HE DIRECTS.

When you finish your reading journey, you will retain more, and the Holy Spirit will bring to your memory as you need the Word of God. I finished reading the Word of God in 57 days a miracle for a guy who has ADD, OCD, and dyslexia. Almost half of my Bible was highlighted.

It's almost as if the Holy Spirit has given me instant recall of the scriptures.

Try it!

Love you all in Christ Jesus ❤️

Last Wednesday, I was headed to Oklahoma for my little brother’s funeral. The night before, the Lord gave me a vivid dream that prepared my heart in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

In the dream, I was lying on the bed when I woke up to the sound of rain pouring down. The floor was flooded with 4–6 inches of water, and it was covered in black vipers. A couple of them crawled onto the bed. I brushed them off, but one still managed to try to force its way into my mouth. I yanked it out (or maybe bit its head off—I can’t remember which), and I laughed as I did it.

The Holy Spirit was warning me, and He was also showing me the victory He had already prepared.

The water? That was the flood of emotions I was about to walk into. I cried a lot at the funeral—my emotions were all over the place because of the sudden loss of my little brother and the deep pain of being shunned by my three siblings (who are Christians) for over 26 years for something I still don’t fully know. It felt exactly like Psalm 69:1-2: “Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck… I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me.”

The rain and the rising water on the floor were a picture of the grief and the old rejection rising up all at once.

The black vipers? Straight out of Scripture. Jesus and John the Baptist called out the hypocritical and bitter hearts around them with the words, “You brood of vipers!” (Matthew 3:7, Matthew 12:34, and Matthew 23:33). Those vipers represented the hidden resentment and possible poisonous words that could try to strike while my heart was already breaking.

The “something against me” that’s lasted 26+ years is exactly the kind of undercurrent the Bible warns about—venom that tries to poison your peace and your responses in the middle of sorrow.

But look at what the Lord showed me in the dream: I didn’t get bitten. I brushed those snakes off, dealt with the last one forcefully, and laughed in the face of it. That laughter was the joy of the Lord rising up in victory—just like the Apostle Paul shook off the real viper into the fire in Acts 28:3-6 with no harm done.

The enemy’s schemes couldn’t touch me because Yahweh had already equipped me.

When I lived it out at the funeral, every part of the dream came true. The tears came in waves, and the old pain tried to surface, but I walked through it all with the peace and authority the Lord had shown me the night before. Isaiah 43:2 was alive: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.” And Psalm 56:8 reminds me that He kept count of every tear and put them in His bottle.

If you’re walking through grief, family rejection, hidden bitterness from others, or any kind of “viper” trying to strike when you’re already hurting—ask the Holy Spirit for eyes to see. He will warn you, prepare you, and give you joy in the middle of the flood. You can shake it off and laugh at the enemy’s failed attempts because the same God who counted your tears is the One fighting for you.Glory to Yahweh! He never leaves us unprepared. He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He turns even our deepest pain into a testimony of His faithfulness.

If you’ve lost a loved one and you know they were a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian who is now in heaven… then you already understand the hope we have.

But if you’re not sure whether you are ready to see them again, there’s good news: you can settle it today.

It’s simple. Just believe what Jesus said in John 3:16 and accept Him as your Lord and Savior right now.

Tomorrow is not promised—only death is guaranteed. There is no way around it.

You have a choice: heaven or hell. You decide where your soul spends eternity.

Inside each of us is a spiritual body placed there by God before we were even born. That spiritual body will live forever.

So today I’m asking you—right now, before it’s too late—accept the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are at war with the darkness of this world. Join the winning side today.

Love you all in Christ Jesus

🚨WARNING!!🚨
As we are now fast approaching the last days before the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I want to remind all Christians that we have been commissioned to preach the Gospel to all creatures.

Mankind will soon face two devastating events that have been prophesied about in the Bible.

The first event will destroy one-third of the earth, including humanity by fire.

The second event is just as tragic and devastating. Another third of humanity will die from pestilence and famine.

My message is this: Are you reaching out to those who are lost? Or are you sitting on the sidelines waiting for the LORD’S return?

Billions will die from these events, and as Christians, it's our obligation to prepare the lost and bring them to Christ.

You do not want to stand before the Lord and hear him say, "I never knew you!" Then be cast into the pit with those you should have reached and could have saved.

I hope and pray everyone has a great, blessed SUNday.

This is the day we observe as the Sabbath day for the Lord. So we are to keep it Holy and set aside for him.

Although SATurday is the Sabbath day, we as Americans observe Sunday.

Scripture says to remember to keep the Sabbath Holy. No matter what day of the week your seventh day falls on, just remember to give thanks to the Lord on that day and rest from your hard work.

May God bless each of you today!

What if the following verse is pointing to something even deeper than we usually see?

“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Matthew 22:14 (KJV)

What if the “few are chosen” is also talking about people like Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, the disciples, and Saul who became Paul?

So here’s the bold question for you today:

Are YOU one of God’s chosen leaders?

* Each of us has been commissioned to spread the GOSPEL.

Are you doing your job?

Or are you relying on someone else to do the job?

Love in Christ Jesus ❤️ Donald Witness of God-Yahweh

[Donald Witness of God (Yahweh) @HisHope4us]

Do you feel like the world hates you?

Does it feel like everything you do to succeed in this life fails?

Do you feel the whole world hates you?

All of these things I have faced all my life.

What does that mean, Donald?

It means God has chosen you for a specific job that requires you to STOP trying to succeed in this WORLD and seek after God's approval for the job he has for you.

REMEMBER THE WORLD HATED JESUS FIRST BECAUSE HE SPOKE THE TRUTH AND HIS KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD.

YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD, AND YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THIS WORLD.

Love in Christ Jesus ❤️ Donald Witness of God-Yahweh and bond-servant to His Son Yeshua-Jesus the Christ ❤️ 🙏👍

[Donald Witness of God (Yahweh) @HisHope4us]

The heavenly realm of God is not the same as the one we are bound to and live in.
When Satan was cast out of heaven and fell to Earth, I'm speculating it didn't exist yet until God created it as stated in Genesis 1:1.

Here's a hypothesis for the difference between the realm Heaven and our realm that we live in.

Everybody knows the sci-fi comic books like Superman, etc. In those comics, the villain is locked away in deep space in some kind of prison, right.

When God created the heavens and the earth, he created it bound to the laws of physics. Hence, the correlation between the comic books and evil villains. Satan can not escape this realm. That is to say, universe we are bound to because of the laws of physics. There is no escape from this realm to get to heaven.

Our perspective of heaven has been limited to what we can see. There is a spiritual realm (God's realm) that does not follow the laws of physics. Neither does it follow any known space-time theorem, either.

What we see is what God has allowed us to see. If we could see into the spiritual realm, it would scare us so bad that every living human God created would repent immediately.

But God gave us this thing called FREE WILL to choose eternal life or eternal death and destruction.

If you doubt what I just wrote, read the book of Daniel and Revelation. Actually, just read the Bible for yourself and believe that God is omniscient and he is the beginning and the end.
