Brother Mosab, is that no longer an accurate description of you as a born-again Christian? Do you deny Jesus Christ as your God/Friend? If yes, please return to Him, and He love you forever and ever. He knows you have painful experiences from your past of men rapes you. He is the One who can heal you and your physically, mentally, and spiritually in the Name of Jesus.

Stop being pitiful; enough of pity😡. You people 👤 know better that it's a disgrace to God/Jesus and against His Holy Scripture that gay porn is evil and blasphemy against God/Jesus. You people 👤 know that if you don't repent, you will go to hell/pity of darkness 🌑. Here is God’s Word 👇👇👇👇Please stop 🚫 sinning activities and run 🏃 to Jesus Christ. Brother Andy 🕎✝️

John 3:15-21 NIrV
Then everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” [16] God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. [17] God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. [18] Anyone who believes in him is not judged. But anyone who does not believe is judged already. They have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. [19] Here is the judgment. Light has come into the world, but people have loved darkness rather than light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil. [20] Everyone who does evil deeds hates the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen. [21] But anyone who lives by the truth comes into the light. They live by the truth with God’s help. They come into the light so that their good deeds will be easy to see.

Wow, give major awards. Powerful.

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today, at the IDF Combat Officers' Graduation Ceremony at Training Base #1:
"My many friends, I believe in the winning combination of both quality and quantity. As I just walked among you, the new male and female officers, I saw the quality up close, in your eyes. We shook hands. Here and there, I managed to hear a bit about your backgrounds. But I clearly noticed the sense of destiny and the strength of spirit embedded in you. This is the wondrous spirit of the People of Israel, whose roots are planted in the soil of the homeland, and which it defends with ultimate devotion.

And now, from this stage, I also clearly see the quantity. Rows upon rows of hundreds of young men and women commanders on the parade ground of the base. You proudly represent our nation, our country. Congratulations to all of you!

Minister of Defense, Israel Katz; Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant-General Eyal Zamir; Commander of the Ground Forces, Major-General Nadav Lotan; The principal officers of the Ground Forces; Commander of the Officer Training School, Colonel Eliav Elbaz; the base command and instructional staff; thank you very much for the wonderful work you have done.

Together with all of you, I embrace our loved ones, the members of the bereaved families. Thanks to the heroes who fell in battle, we have life, we have independence, we have revival. We will remember the fallen forever. We will preserve and tell their story from generation to generation! And we all embrace those wounded in body and soul. I visit them from time to time in hospitals and rehabilitation institutions. Their mental fortitude is unbelievable. These heroic wounded are in our hearts and thoughts throughout their journey of rehabilitation.

Dear families, the long road to becoming an officer begins at home with you. These officers absorbed from you values of love for the land, investment, perseverance, and contribution to the whole. Thank you, families, for supporting the new commanders of the Israel Defense Forces! You, too, stand on this parade ground, and we salute you as well!

And now to you, the graduates of the course, male and female officers: You are climbing the ladder and joining the command backbone of the IDF. You are fulfilling the dream of generations, of a Hebrew army that is a fortress and a shield for our people. The poet Bialik wrote: ‘Gird yourselves with strength! A great army to the aid of the people. A great army to the aid of the people!’ You are girding yourselves with strength, and your strength guarantees the future of the nation. We are proud of you. I am proud of you, and I rely on you!

This is not my first time here. I, too, was a cadet on this parade ground. But I have come here many times over the years. And there were years when I heard the discourse outside the parade ground. I heard veteran officers turning to new officers and asking them: 'Has anyone here ever been in an engagement under fire?'; 'Has anyone here ever participated in hand-to-hand combat?'. But in recent years, these questions are hardly asked. You arrived at this base equipped with the operational experience you acquired in the War of Redemption. Sometimes it is the painful experience of losing a brother-in-arms.

Before I arrived here, I was a fighter. In the first weeks of my service in my unit, the General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, I lost a dear friend who drew his last breath and died in my arms. You lost friends and kept moving forward because you understood who we are fighting against, what we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.

We are in the midst of a prolonged multi-arena war. Its importance is no less than the importance of the War of Independence. The October 7 attack was the opening shot in the malicious plan of the enemies of Israel to destroy Israel. They wanted to suffocate us in a ring of fire and terror. They thought that the brutal massacre they carried out against us would cause us to collapse. But we turned the tables. He who pursued us is now being pursued.

If I had told you on the second day of the war, if I had told you that we would stand here, in less than three years, and that we would change the face of the Middle East; that we would eliminate Sinwar, Haniyeh, Deif, and Nasrallah, along with the entire top command of Hezbollah, the armaments of Assad's army, and many from the terrorist regime in Iran; that we would destroy their missiles and missile launchers; that our pilots would fly in the skies of Tehran and be able to hit any target of the terrorist regime, would anyone have believed it? It would have sounded like a fairy tale.

On the second day of the war, I said: We will change the face of the Middle East. And thanks to your heroism, of our fighters, our commanders, our pilots, our soldiers, and our nation that stood firm, we are changing the face of the Middle East, and the State of Israel is stronger than ever.

And if I had told you on the second day of the war that we would return all of our hostages, down to the very last one. We will not leave a single name there. Who would have believed it? My colleagues and I believed. You gave us the strength, and we did it. We brought them all home, down to the very last one.

And if I had told you on October 8 that we were going to make a massive shift within ourselves, that we would break the barrier of fear, that we would initiate, attack, use stratagems, surprise, and decisively win, who would have believed we would do all this? I believed, because I believe in you. And the People of Israel believe in you.

But our greatest achievement, and only a blind person would say 'There are no achievements', there are monumental achievements. I haven't listed them all, and I spare you as you stand under the blazing sun; it would take a long time to list them all. But there is one monumental achievement. It came during the two incredible operations, Rising Lion and Roaring Lion. We removed an immediate existential threat from over our heads because if we hadn't acted, Iran would have atomic bombs to destroy Israel today. We removed this threat to guarantee the eternity of Israel.

There are more missions to complete. There are more things to do against Iran. There are more things to do against Hamas, though they don't have much capability left. You know that a few weeks ago, under my directive, alongside the Minister of Defense and the Chief-of-Staff, we eliminated one of the architects of the massacre, basically the commander of Hamas, Izz al-Din al-Haddad. And do you know what Hamas's reaction was? Zero. Nothing. Not a bullet, not a rocket, nothing at all. Because we have done a lot, but there is still more to do, against Hamas, against Hezbollah, and against drones. We are working on this with full force, with full vigor. But the achievements are monumental.

These achievements were earned thanks to our heroic soldiers and commanders who charged at those who wish us harm, in the south, in the north, everywhere. No obstacle stood in their way: not terrorist tunnels, not nests of terrorists, and not old border lines around which Arab armies used to gather.

I visit the field frequently. I met some of you there as fighters in the brigades that have gone in. I was deeply inspired by the spirit of victory that pushed you forward, with courage, determination, and endless resourcefulness. This unbroken spirit accompanied me on my way back to the meeting room of the Security Cabinet. And it helped me. It gave me a great deal of strength to stand against pressures, pressures from abroad and pressures from home, and it was not easy. It was not easy.

The pressures from abroad included the halting of ammunition supplies during the war. And who knows better than you how important that is. I was forced to tell our American friends, they asked me: 'How will you fight?' and I told them: 'If we must, we will fight with our fingernails, but we will fight, repel our enemies, and strike them a double blow!' And so we did.

And there were also internal pressures. There were pressures from within to stop. In Khan Yunis, not to enter Rafah, not to seize the Philadelphi Corridor, not to continue onward to Lebanon, Syria, and of course, not to Iran. Your strength, your heroism, your fighting spirit, gave me and my colleagues a lot of strength to stand against these pressures, and I want to thank you for that.

In Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, and other places, both openly and covert, they felt the heavy weight of our arm. We fundamentally changed the rules of the game in our region. And I repeat, first and foremost, we changed ourselves. We broke through the barrier of fear, with momentum, initiative, and aggressiveness. And our iron fist struck anyone who raised a hand against us.

In this wilderness, one clear truth echoes. It is an ancient truth, and woe to whoever forgets it: ‘If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.’ Do not give them the opportunity to kill us. We live in a turbulent, stormy, barbaric Middle East. And this rule, which not everyone recognizes, I think most of the nation recognizes. It guarantees our future. It ensures that in the end, we will also achieve peace with some of our enemies, as we have done.

The State of Israel is stronger than ever, more determined than ever, bolder than ever. We are squeezing the Gaza Strip from all sides. More than 60% of the Strip's territory is under our control. We restored security to the western Negev, which is blooming and flourishing once again. I remember saying we would do this. I think I said it at one of the course graduations here. And there were those who called it 'boastful words.' That's fine, people talk, we act. Because the combination of the military power with which we struck Hamas, the territory we seized around them, the Philadelphi Corridor that prevents them from rearming, and the massive civilian effort worth tens of billions of shekels to bring momentum and revival to the Tekuma region, this has resulted in the western Negev having the highest population growth rate in the State of Israel today. This is the image of victory.

In Lebanon and Syria, we established buffer zones that prevent the danger of a ground invasion. We pushed those who seek our lives far back, many kilometers. Our forces overlook the summit of Mt. Hermon. I met some of you here, and you are going to be on the summit of Mt. Hermon. It is a spectacular view, but above all, it is a view that safeguards our security. We dominate southern Lebanon from the peak of Beaufort. And we will remain, as long as necessary, in the security zone in southern Lebanon. We are not going to withdraw from it. And I will tell you why: Because we moved from dominated areas to dominating areas, and we will maintain these dominating territories for as long as required. From there, we will protect the residents of the north and all citizens of Israel.

The Minister of Defense and I clearly instructed the IDF: You have full freedom of action to thwart any threat to our fighters or to the residents of the north. We trust you, the Chief-of-Staff, our command team, the division commanders, the battalion commanders, the company commanders, each and every one of you. We trust you to act correctly, and we give you all the necessary backing!

And regarding the regime of evil in Iran, I will only say this: with an agreement or without an agreement, as long as I am the Prime Minister of Israel, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. Under no circumstances will we allow Iran to develop nuclear bombs.

Distinguished guests, as I have told you, I finished my officers' course right here at this base. I was a fighter. I was sent here, and I returned as a commander. I must tell you that what I learned here helped me not only as an officer and commander; it helps me to this day. You acquired very important knowledge here, and I am sure it will serve you on your life's journey.

Not far from here, on the wall of the base headquarters wing, hangs the photograph of my brother Jonathan, Yoni, receiving his outstanding cadet pin from Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, of blessed memory. I mention this specifically now because the day before yesterday marked 50 years since the daring operation to rescue our hostages from Entebbe. In Operation Jonathan, the incredible capabilities of Israel's warriors came to light, and in particular, the adherence to the mission by IDF officers who call out 'Follow me!' 'Follow me', to carry out the mission with uncompromising excellence.

In the Entebbe operation as well, all hostages were brought home except for one, Dora Bloch, of blessed memory, who was in the city of Kampala and was murdered the next day by order of the dictator Idi Amin. The rescue operation in Entebbe granted Israel and the Israel Defense Forces eternal glory in the war on terrorism. Justice triumphed over evil. Hope defeated fear. And as it was then, so it is today: Israel is at the forefront of the struggle against barbaric fanaticism that threatens the free world.

We are a small country indeed, but we possess a very great power. Power in combat, power in technology, power that helps forge alliances with countries in the region, and beyond it. Above all, we have, what I see here on this parade ground and in this grandstand, we have human power, and it is represented here, in this ceremony.

Dear male and female officers, your new mission awaits you. The consciousness of 'leading from the front' will guide you. The personal example you set for your people will instill in them the willingness to act together with you, at any time and in any place.

Last week, I met graduates of another officers' course. A reserve officers' course. Reservists in their 30s, 40s, and some in their 50s. And it shows the incredible spirit. They leave their families, their children, and for some, their grandchildren. And they come to be officers in the Israel Defense Forces. One of them asked me: 'Prime Minister, where do you see the State of Israel in 30 years?' And I told him: 'I do not pretend to be a prophet, but I think I know what determines things in our region, and increasingly in the whole world. The strong survive, there is no room for the weak, they are preyed upon and disappear. And in 30 years, I see the State of Israel even stronger than it is today, thanks to people like you, thanks to our spirit, thanks to all of our capabilities, and above all, our fighting spirit.

And this is the great change we have brought about in the history of our people. Because until the establishment of the State of Israel, we were like a leaf driven by the wind. We were beaten in country after country. They slaughtered us, they exiled us. And when we returned to our land, we established a state, we established an army, and we restored the defensive capability of the People of Israel, our ability to defend ourselves, by ourselves. You are embodying this capability. You, the commanders, are guarding our independence, guaranteeing our future. You serve as a fortified wall for our country. Thank you, and success from the bottom of my heart!"

“Benefits of praying in tongues” — a topic that aligns beautifully with your ongoing focus on intimacy with the Holy Spirit and Spirit-led prayer.

Praying in tongues (also called praying in the Spirit) is a precious gift described in the New Testament, especially in 1 Corinthians 14 and the book of Acts. It’s a personal prayer language given by the Holy Spirit that bypasses our natural understanding, allowing our spirit to commune directly with God.

Key Biblical Benefits (Scripture-Centered)
Here are some core benefits grounded in God’s Word, explained simply like a conversation over coffee:
1Direct Communication with God
“For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 14:2)
It’s like whispering secrets straight to the Father — perfect for those times when words fail us or we’re interceding deeply (as you do for the Iranian people).
2Personal Edification and Strengthening
“Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves…” (1 Corinthians 14:4)
It builds up your inner man, much like how Jude 1:20 says: “But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit…” This strengthens faith, especially in spiritual warfare or seasons of uncertainty (Proverbs 3:5-6).
3Intimacy with the Holy Spirit
It helps us stay in tune with the Spirit’s leading (Acts 2:4, Romans 8:26-27). When we don’t know how to pray as we ought, the Spirit helps us with groanings or tongues that align perfectly with God’s will.
4Other Practical Blessings (from broader Scripture study):
◦Draws wisdom from your spirit to your mind.
◦Aids in spiritual warfare and praise.
◦Can open the door to other gifts like prophecy or interpretation when used in community (1 Corinthians 14:13).
◦Brings rest and refreshing (Isaiah 28:11-12 often connected to this).

Many believers, including those in charismatic and Pentecostal traditions, testify to how this gift has deepened their walk with Christ — not as a replacement for the Word or quiet time, but as a powerful complement.

A Gentle Note for Your Journey
Given your heart for repentance, healing, and guarding against anything substituting for the Holy Spirit Himself, this gift is best received and used in humble dependence on God. It’s not about striving or “performing” — it’s resting in His grace and letting the Spirit pray through you (Ephesians 6:18). If you’ve been seeking this or want to grow in it, simply ask the Father: “Lord, fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit and release this gift for Your glory.”

Without the Bible/God’s Word/Holy Scripture/Praying, right now, we are going to face the fact that God/Jesus let happen that the USA will fall apart because of President Trump's dishonoring Israel 🇮🇱/Prime Minister Netanyahu, and without any discussion with him, means that Trump didn't ask/pray/seek God for His advice of the Bible, and the Middle East history 📜. All about political issues ⚠️ . It's a spiritual issue ⚠️ between God of Israel 🇮🇱🕎✝️ and the devil of the Islamic Iranian Regime 🇮🇷🕋 through the people 👤, which means prayer warriors must pray 🙏 against the devil 😈👺🎭 of Iranian leaders. Praying 🙏 for Trump/Vance and their administration to seek God’s wisdom/knowledge/discernment in the Name of Jesus, Amen!?

[AP @Average_NY_Guy]

The U.S. would rather tolerate growing Chinese or Russian influence in the Middle East than watch Israel emerge as the region's dominant power.

That sounds counterintuitive until you understand how great powers think.

For decades, Washington has viewed itself as Israel's big brother. It has no problem with Israel being strong. While much of Israel's military strength was built through its own innovation, intelligence, and defense industry, the United States has long supported Israel's security and helped preserve its qualitative military edge. It can accept Israel as an ally, a strategic partner, and even a military powerhouse.

What it struggles to accept is an Israel that no longer needs American leadership to reshape the region.

This isn't unique to the United States. Throughout history, dominant powers have rarely encouraged the rise of independent regional powers, even friendly ones. Alliances are easiest to manage when there is a clear hierarchy. Dependence creates influence. Independence reduces it.

Israel didn't drag America into the war with Iran. If anything, the opposite happened. Once Israel demonstrated that it could systematically dismantle Iran's air defenses, intelligence network, military leadership, and strategic infrastructure, American involvement became far more likely.

Look at the 12-day war last June. The United States didn't intervene on day one or day three. It waited until Israel had already inflicted enormous damage on Iran's military capabilities. Only then did Washington enter the fight.

And now we're seeing the same pattern.

If the objective is preventing Iran from threatening the region, why not let Israel finish the job?

Don't tell me Israel lacks the capability. Israeli intelligence has repeatedly penetrated Iran at the highest levels. Its air force has demonstrated operational freedom over Iranian territory. Its special operations capabilities have surprised the world time and again.

The question isn't whether Israel can do it.

The question is whether Washington is comfortable allowing Israel to reshape the Middle East on its own.

Because that is exactly what Israel began to do.

Israel eliminated much of Iran's senior military leadership, severely degraded its strategic capabilities, and set back its nuclear program before the United States entered the fighting. More than the battlefield changed. The balance of power changed.

For the first time in decades, Israel demonstrated that it could reshape the strategic landscape of the Middle East through its own military, intelligence, and operational capabilities. That wasn't just a challenge to Iran. It challenged a long-standing assumption in Washington: that America would always be the decisive power shaping the region.

Once that assumption begins to break, the relationship changes.

The "little brother" starts looking a lot more like an equal.

Great powers don't like discovering that their junior partners have become independent strategic actors. They prefer allies that are powerful enough to be useful, but not so powerful that they become the primary force shaping an entire region.

A strong Israel has always fit comfortably within American strategy.

A dominant Israel raises an entirely different set of questions.

It's time for Washington to stop thinking like Israel's guardian and start treating Israel for what it has become: a sovereign power fully capable of defending itself and shaping its own region.

Elementary Level – Understanding Christian Zionism Simply
Thank you for this clear explanation. You said it very well. Let’s break it down even more simply, like explaining to a child or someone new to the Bible.
What Christian Zionism Is Not:
•It is not saying Israel is perfect or always does everything right.
•It is not saying the Israeli government can never be criticized.
•It is not saying Jewish people are saved without Jesus (Yeshua).
•It is not saying God will never correct or judge sin in Israel.
These are important clarifications. The Bible shows God loves His people and holds them accountable — just like a good father.
What Christian Zionism Is:
It is simply believing that God keeps His promises.
The Old Testament prophets (many of the ones we’ve been talking about) said God would:
•Scatter the Jewish people because of sin.
•One day regather them back to their ancestral land (Israel).
Examples:
•Ezekiel 36-37: God promised to bring His people back from the nations, give them a new heart, and make the land alive again — even after they had been unfaithful.
•Jeremiah 31: The same chapter with the New Covenant promise also talks about regathering.
•Isaiah and others spoke of a future return.
Many Christians see the return of the Jewish people to Israel in the 20th century as God fulfilling these ancient promises — not because Israel is perfect, but because God is faithful.
The Bigger Hope
Christian Zionism also looks forward to the day the prophets and apostles described:
•All Israel will turn to their Messiah, Yeshua.
•They will receive His forgiveness and be saved as a nation (see Romans 11:26 and Zechariah 12:10 — “They will look on me, the one they have pierced”).
This fits with the mercy we’ve seen in Joel, Hosea, Jeremiah, and the Prodigal Son. God disciplines, but He also restores and saves.
A Simple Picture
Think of it like the father in the Prodigal Son story:
•The son wandered far and made mistakes.
•The father still kept the home and the inheritance ready.
•When the son returned, there was mercy and celebration.
In the same way, God has kept the land promise and still calls Israel (and all people) to repentance and faith in the Messiah.
Supporting Israel, then, is not about saying “Israel is always right.”
It is about respecting God’s faithfulness to His Word and praying for His mercy and salvation to come to the Jewish people — just as we pray for all people.
Bottom Line
Christian Zionism is Bible-based hope in God’s promises. It holds two truths together:
1God keeps His covenants with Israel.
2Everyone — Jew and Gentile — needs Yeshua for salvation.

[Andrew J Willard @AndrewJWillard2]

You are ignorant of God’s Word/Holy Scripture, whether you like it or not. Are you aware of a blessing or a curse?

Genesis 12:1-4 CEV
[1] The LORD said to Abram: Leave your country, your family, and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you. [2] I will bless you and make your descendants into a great nation. You will become famous and be a blessing to others. [3] I will bless anyone who blesses you, but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you. [4] Abram was seventy-five years old when the LORD told him to leave the city of Haran. He obeyed and left with his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and slaves they had gotten while in Haran. When they came to the land of Canaan,

John 3:13-21 NIrV
[13] No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven. He is the Son of Man. [14] Moses lifted up the snake in the desert. In the same way, the Son of Man must also be lifted up. [15] Then everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” [16] God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. [17] God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. [18] Anyone who believes in him is not judged. But anyone who does not believe is judged already. They have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. [19] Here is the judgment. Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil. [20] Everyone who does evil deeds hates the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen. [21] But anyone who lives by the truth comes into the light. They live by the truth with God’s help. They come into the light so that it will be easy to see their good deeds.

From the beginning of this war, I warned that bible prophecy is against any nation that goes to war against Persia, intending to defeat it. And also the fact that the United States has not won a war since World War II - not well for us.

Iran (Persia) will remain until God uses it in Ezekiel 38, which is coming.

This deal of Trump’s is a deal from Hell.

Like Israel of old, I’m thinking of Isaiah 28:15 for America.

“Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.”

This could bring our well-deserved judgment.

[ɴɪᴄᴋ ✞ @Nickymann99]

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE ARE SAVED? HOW SHOULD A BELIEVER DEAL WITH SIN?
Galatians 5:17 KJV
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
One of the biggest misconceptions in Christianity is the idea that once a person is saved, they should no longer struggle with sin. Many sincere believers become discouraged because after trusting Christ, they discover that temptation, wrong thoughts, and failures are still present.
The truth is that salvation does not immediately remove the flesh. What it does is give us a new identity, a new nature, and the indwelling Holy Spirit. The battle begins because there are now two opposing forces at work within the believer…the flesh and the Spirit.
Before salvation, a person is spiritually dead and follows the desires of the flesh without having the indwelling Holy Spirit. After salvation, the believer becomes a new creature in Christ and receives the Holy Spirit. Now there is conflict.
Paul describes this battle in Galatians 5:17. The flesh desires one thing, while the Spirit desires another. They are contrary to one another.
WHAT HAPPENS THE MOMENT WE BELIEVE?
When we trust the Gospel — that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV) — several things happen immediately…
• We are justified freely by God’s grace (Romans 3:24 KJV).
• We receive forgiveness of sins through Christ’s blood (Ephesians 1:7 KJV).
• We are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV).
• We are spiritually baptized into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV).
• We become a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
• We are accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
Our standing before God is completely secure because it rests upon what Christ accomplished, not upon our performance.
WHY DO BELIEVERS STILL SIN?
Although our spirit has been made alive in Christ, we still live in mortal bodies that contain the flesh. Paul openly admitted this struggle…
Romans 7:22-23 KJV
“For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind…”
Notice that Paul describes a war.
The presence of this battle does not prove a believer is lost. In fact, the battle itself demonstrates that something has changed. Before salvation there was no conflict between the flesh and the indwelling Spirit because the Spirit was not dwelling within the person.
HOW SHOULD WE DEAL WITH SIN?
The answer is not to place ourselves back under the Law.
The Law can identify sin, but it cannot give us victory over sin.
Paul teaches a different way.
1. RECKON YOURSELF DEAD TO SIN
Romans 6:11 KJV
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
God says that our old man was crucified with Christ. We are to believe what God says about us even when our feelings disagree.
We do not fight for victory.
We fight from victory.
2. YIELD YOURSELF TO GOD
Romans 6:13 KJV
“Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God…”
Every day we choose whether we will present ourselves to the flesh or to the Lord.
The Christian life is filled with choices. The more we yield to God’s Word, the stronger our walk becomes.
3. WALK IN THE SPIRIT
Galatians 5:16 KJV
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
Notice that Paul does not say, “Stop all fleshly desires and then walk in the Spirit.”
He says to walk in the Spirit.
As we feed on God’s Word, renew our minds, and focus on Christ, the Spirit produces fruit in our lives.
4. RENEW YOUR MIND
Romans 12:2 KJV
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
The battlefield is often the mind.
Wrong thinking leads to wrong living.
God’s Word renews our thinking and teaches us to see ourselves the way God sees us.
5. REMEMBER THAT GRACE TEACHES US
Titus 2:11-12 KJV
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly…”
Grace is not permission to sin.
Grace is God’s method of teaching us how to live.
The believer grows by understanding God’s grace, not by placing himself under a system of fear and condemnation.
WHAT IF WE FAIL?
Every believer fails.
There are no perfect Christians.
When we sin, we do not lose our salvation. Christ already paid for every sin by His shed blood.
However, sin can damage our fellowship, our testimony, our spiritual growth, and our service for the Lord.
Instead of remaining in defeat, we should acknowledge our failure, thank God that Christ has already paid for it, and continue walking forward by faith.
The answer is never to trust ourselves more.
The answer is always to trust Christ more.
CONCLUSION
The Christian life is not a struggle to keep ourselves saved. It is a daily choice to walk in the identity God has already given us in Christ.
Until we receive our glorified bodies, there will be a battle between the flesh and the Spirit.
But God has not left us helpless.
He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His grace.
The goal is not sinless perfection in this life.
The goal is spiritual growth as Christ lives His life through us.
Galatians 2:20 KJV
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me…”
The more we learn who we are in Christ, the more victory we experience over the desires of the flesh.

Study the Word…Stand in Grace

🙏Pray🙏 for President Trump, he is a baby 👶 in the Christian faith, and he needs to seek 👀 God’s wisdom/knowledge/discernment and check with Israel 🇮🇱/Iran 🇮🇷/Middle East history 📜. He focuses on himself instead of seeking God/Jesus. He needs the spiritual advisers of the Most High God in Christ and understands political history 📜 of the USA 🇺🇸 who advise in Christ and have knowledge of God’s Word/Holy Scripture. There are lots of good kings 👑 in the Holy Bible 📖 because their advisers, who are God’s prophets, are hearing God’s voice. Need someone like Franklin Graham to be a spiritual adviser to President Trump and his administration. 🙏Pray for our churches ⛪, they are representatives of the Most High God, so with Congress people 👫 stand for God/Jesus. Amen?

This is a common conspiracy theory/meme circulating in certain online circles, especially among anti-Trump or “expose the occult” accounts. It mixes partial truths with heavy exaggeration and implication to paint MAGA (and Trump) as literally Satanic. Here’s a clear, fact-checked breakdown:
1. “Maga means witch in Latin.”
•Partially true. In classical Latin, maga is the feminine form of magus, meaning sorceress, enchantress, or female magician/witch.
•Magus itself comes from ancient Persian/ Zoroastrian roots (wise men, priests, or astrologers) and evolved in Latin/Greek to sometimes carry connotations of magic or sorcery.
•This is why memes list “MAGA = witch in Latin” — it’s linguistically accurate but irrelevant to the political acronym. MAGA stands for "Make America Great Again," a phrase coined in political contexts long before this spin. The overlap is coincidental wordplay.
2. “MAGA is the highest denomination for a woman in the Church of Satan.”
•Technically true but misleading. The Church of Satan (founded by Anton LaVey in 1966) uses Maga (feminine) and Magus (masculine) as the titles for its fifth and highest degree in its internal hierarchy (the Priesthood of Mendes).
•It’s an honorary title given (not applied for) to very few people who have made major contributions to their philosophy. Examples: Founder LaVey was called Magus; the current High Priest, Peter H. Gilmore, is a Magus.
•The Church of Satan is atheistic — they don’t literally worship the Devil as a supernatural being. They use Satan as a symbol of rebellion, individualism, and indulgence (LaVeyan Satanism). They are tiny, not some vast global power.
3. Trump positioned himself as the “Magus/Magician” Tarot card (not Jesus)
•Trump has posted AI-generated images of himself in various dramatic/religious styles, including ones that look Christ-like (white robe, etc.). Critics and conspiracy accounts quickly pointed out similarities to the Tarot card The Magician (also called The Magus) — red/white robes, symbolic pose, infinity symbol, tools of the elements, etc.
•Trump and supporters usually frame these as fun memes, “Trump as savior/strong leader,” or even Red Cross/doctor imagery. Detractors call it occult signaling or narcissism.
•This is classic pareidolia + motivated reasoning: You can find symbolic overlaps in almost any stylized image if you’re looking for them.
Overall verdict on the post:
This is cherry-picked etymology + obscure org titles + visual coincidence turned into “Trump and MAGA are high-level Satanists.” It’s a flavor of broader Satanic Panic / QAnon-adjacent theories that have recycled for years (elites = secret Devil worshippers).
•MAGA as a slogan has zero connection to Satanism by intent or origin.
•Word coincidences happen all the time (e.g., many innocent words have dark meanings in other languages).
•The Church of Satan is a tiny, fringe atheist group — not running politics.
These kinds of posts thrive on pattern-seeking and fear.
Biblical tie-in (since we’ve been in Genesis mode): Scripture warns against divination, sorcery, and occult practices (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Galatians 5:19-21), but also against false accusations and deceitful hearts (Jeremiah 17:9 — which you’ve referenced before). Best to test everything against Scripture and not get swept into every viral “hidden meaning.”

This X post is misinformation. Here’s a clear breakdown of the facts:
What the Post Claims
The post from @IsraelSpoofX (posted today, June 4, 2026, around 12:48 GMT) says:
🚨 BREAKING ALERT: Reports indicate a major strike has hit Iran. 🇮🇷 Several Iranian airbases are reportedly destroyed following the attack, raising fears of a significant escalation. The situation is developing rapidly as tensions continue to rise. ⚡💥
It includes a dramatic video of a large explosion with fire and smoke.
The Video Is NOT From Iran
The video is recycled footage from a real fireworks factory explosion in Malta on June 1, 2026 (three days ago).
•Location: Ta’ Lourdes Fireworks Factory (also called Lourdes Fireworks Factory) in the Naxxar / Magħtab / Salina area of northern Malta.
•What happened: A powerful industrial explosion early on June 1 sent a huge plume of smoke and fire into the air. It damaged nearby properties, shattered windows, and killed livestock. No factory workers were on site at the time. Two men in nearby fields suffered minor injuries.
•Widely reported by credible outlets including CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Times of Malta, and others.47
Multiple people replying to the post (including fact-checkers) immediately identified it as the Malta footage. One fact-check account even posted a side-by-side comparison.
Is the Claim True?
No. There are no credible reports today of a major new strike destroying multiple Iranian airbases.
•The 2026 Iran war has been ongoing since late February 2026 (US and Israel launched major strikes on Iranian military targets starting Feb 28).
•There have been recent escalations, including Iranian attacks on US-linked facilities in the Gulf (Kuwait, Bahrain, etc.) in recent days.
•However, as of now (June 4), major news outlets are covering ceasefire talks (Israel-Lebanon/Hezbollah), US-Iran tensions, and other developments — not a fresh massive strike on Iranian airbases matching this post.52
About the Account
•@IsraelSpoofX — The word “Spoof” is in the handle for a reason. The bio calls it “Independent Media | Analysts | Updates | Not Affiliated With Any Official | Real-Time Alerts |”.
•This type of account often posts sensational, unverified, or misleading “BREAKING” claims, frequently using old or unrelated footage to drive engagement.
Bottom Line
This is a classic example of misinformation spreading on X: a dramatic claim + a recycled video from an unrelated event (the Malta fireworks factory explosion) + fear of escalation.
Reliable sources for the ongoing Iran conflict right now include BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, AP, and Times of Israel (cross-checked). Always verify dramatic “breaking” posts — especially from accounts with “spoof,” parody-style names, or no clear affiliation.

A Prayer for Pride Month: Seeking Humility and Faith https://t.co/RLMdLauAvd via @HarvestUSA

As we navigate this month of 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+🏳️‍⚧️celebrations, advocacy, disappointments, pain, and broken relationships, we at Harvest USA want to encourage believers to fix their eyes on Jesus—to humbly, expectantly, and confidently approach the throne of grace. The following prayer for Pride Month is a partially re-worded version of our friend Walt Mueller’s annual prayer. Please pray with us:

Lord God, Shepherd, Creator, and Savior, thank you for your good gifts of relationships, sexuality, gender, and the beautiful ways you intend for us to receive and experience these gifts. Your Word tells us that in the Garden, everything you made existed for your glory and our good. 

We confess that, due to sin and brokenness in the world, all of us struggle personally with sexual brokenness as we choose to run our own lives, let selfish desires rule us, and refuse to honor you as the loving Lord and Creator. We humbly admit that we pursue selfish comforts in response to stress, internal pain, and suffering. We praise you because you are not only our forgiving Lord but also the One who heals our broken hearts, sets us free, and gives us hope and courage to live differently.

As we navigate the messages and memes flooding our world during Pride Month, give us discernment skills rooted deeply in biblical truth. Wherever and whenever we see a rainbow, remind us that it’s a sign established by you, representing your covenant promises (Gen. 9:13–17). May the rainbows we see this month spark a response of living every square inch and minute of our lives in grateful obedience to you as those colors reflect your steadfast love shining in the light of your mercy and grace.

Help us to see that every human being is an image-bearer who must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. Keep us from engaging in hateful and harassing behavior toward any individual or group not living in accord with your will for sex, sexuality, and gender. Help us to see that we are all sexually broken in some way. Give us the desire to love others enough to tell them the truth, your truth, as Jesus did—with Christlike grace. And, where others come to speak your truth into our lives, give us listening ears and receptive hearts.

May we, your people, have compassion for sufferers, strugglers, and sinners (as this is what we all are), always offering exhortation, truth, and love. Cause your people to represent you with humility, truth, compassion, and wisdom. O God, protect us from being an offense due to pride, meanness, or self-righteousness! And cause us to be the fragrance of Jesus in our families, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and out-and-about when we encounter Pride events.

We throw ourselves upon the mercy of your grace as you offer redemption and restoration to all who confess and turn from their sexual sin, seeking your mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:4–10). Sustain us, we pray, as we live a life of Christian discipleship in this still-sin-marred, now-but-not-yet-fully-realized Kingdom of God, as we expectantly await that final rescue and restoration from whatever unique forms of sexual brokenness we experience.

In Christ’s name, we pray, amen.
