Can We Avoid Being Anxious?
Over the years, as I have faced situations that have caused anxiety in me, sometimes, I have submitted myself to the Lord for His keeping and His guidance. On other occasions, I have only half-heartedly done this and it usually resulted in works of the flesh. The problem for me has usually been the fact that I tend to feel as though I’m sinning because the anxiety is getting to me. Doesn’t the Bible tell us that God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is set on Him (Isaiah 26:3)? So when I’m not at peace within, I feel as though I failed. This is wrong. When we are not at peace within, it essentially means that God is trying to get our attention so that we can bring our cares and concerns to Him for Him to deal with for us (1 Peter 5:7).
Easter Blessings and Death of a Heretic
Easter’s resurrection of our Lord proved that perfect love conquers all evil. The grave could not keep Jesus. He arose due to His sinlessness and deity. He lives due to His sinlessness and deity. He loves due to His sinlessness and deity. He is God, very God, who took on the outer “robe” of humanity in order that He would perfectly fulfill the will of His Father and offered His life not only as a model of how we should live, but as a perfect substitution for us (Philippians 2), so that we personally, do not have to pay that price. He died so that we can gain eternal life and it is by faith in His propitiation that we find solace, comfort, eternal life and full acceptance by the Father.
A Few Health Hacks
All of this may seem too good to be true, but again, there is clinically-based evidence that these outcomes exist when stimulating the Vagus Nerve using a TENS unit (or other techniques, like previously discussed breathing exercises). One strong caution of course, is that prior to using any type of electrical device to stimulate the Vagus Nerve, it is strongly recommended that a person discusses the option with their physician. TENS Units are not for everyone and depending on a specific malady present in a person, a TENS Unit may do more harm than good. Please read the linked articles thoroughly and bring any questions/concerns you might have to your doctor to discuss.
Unlawful
Let’s not forget the Left’s “woke” movement in the United States, which, among other things, pushed the climate change scam, the mRNA jab and trans people to the front, demanding that critical thinking people accept their designated gender identification. Science that had been the norm for eons, signifying that gender was based on chromosomes, was replaced with a new “science,” one that was based totally on how a person felt about themselves. It didn’t matter if they were born male or female because that was called being “assigned” a gender (not recognizing the gender based on male or female genitalia). The only thing that mattered today is how a person saw themselves. Increasingly, the USA was being reshaped with an emphasis on pronouns and self-identification.

So if our vagus nerve is not in good tonal condition, we will have problems, but fortunately there are things we can personally do to help ensure that our vagus nerve is operating at its best. In her article, you’ll note she presents 11 ways to stimulate our vagus nerve for optimal health. Other health practitioners have similar lists and usually at the top are breathing exercises. This is something that can be done wherever you are and can have a major effect on your health.
AI Church and Jesus??
Though I’m not a prophet, I can clearly see a defined role of AI during the coming Tribulation period. Will AI be used by Technocrats to support their threats against humanity? Will AI robotic armies be sent to round up those who do not take the mark, or pledge loyalty to the False Prophet and Antichrist? Does the False Prophet use AI to make the image of the beast appears to live (Revelation 13:15)?
Ever Before Me…
I thought about David’s reaction and his desire to have his sins blotted out, to be washed thoroughly from his iniquity and to be cleansed from his sin. Commentators believe this occurred just prior to the birth (and death), of Bathsheba’s child. During those months, he had apparently hardened his heart toward God and his own moral failures. Yet, the Psalm shows the process that David finally went through in order to regain the closeness with God he had experienced prior to his sins.
Virtue Signaling is All That Remains
I’m quite certain that there are good people trying to get into the USA. Unfortunately, those people are nearly completely eclipsed by those whose intentions are not good and in any case, everyone coming into the USA by illegal means is breaking America’s laws. Turner seems to be saying that we should set all this aside and simply view them as people in need. Of course, their biggest need is salvation. I’d agree with that, but there’s more to it than that.
What Can Happen to Society, Pt 3
This is how far the Israelite society had fallen because of their continued rejection of God and His truth. They didn’t want to do things His way. They wanted to do things their way, much like the way global society today is doing things. God out. Self in. They think because there has been no immediate reckoning, that God either doesn’t hear, or worse, doesn’t exist. This is the exact same type of thinking that Israel entered into and because of it, got themselves in serious trouble time and time again.
