Many see recent global developments as a fulfillment of biblical prophecies, underscoring belief in the soon return of the Lord. Central banks worldwide are moving toward digital currencies, with control mechanisms suggesting future requirements for digital IDs or a mark embedded in our bodies for transactions. This aligns with predictions of economic control found in Revelation in the scripture. The groundwork is being laid now.
Rev 13:16 “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:”
Rev 13:17 “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Technological advancements such as quantum dot tattoos, nanotechnology, and the widespread implementation of gene-altering mRNA vaccines, once mandated on a global scale, highlight a trend toward unprecedented control over individual biology and identity. This is also a way of implementing the mark prophesied in Revelation. Only God could have known how this gigantic undertaking could actually be possible; John would not have known this in his natural mind.
In geopolitical arenas, Israel remains a focal point with escalating tensions and conflicts, pointing to wars and rumors of wars. Meanwhile, a stark moral decline is evident. Society is increasingly the object of the militant homosexual, transgender community to force acceptance of their abominable sexual perversions that seem to surpass the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, loudly proclaiming dire biblical warnings that imminent judgment is growing near.
These signs prompt a call for readiness: the Lord is coming soon. Are you prepared?
Luke 21:28 “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Take captive every thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God
|
Guest Minister James Tan joined together with Pastor Jim Hammond to tag team preach the message, Spiritual Warfare and the Imagination. Their message was based on 2nd Corinthians 10:3–5, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” We are in a spiritual war that we need to take seriously. According to what Paul wrote, our weapons are not carnal. They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Notice strongholds is plural.
How does that warfare begin? It begins in your mind.
All people have to deal with multiple strongholds that are set up in their bodies or souls throughout their lives. Every stronghold starts with imaginations.
When you have imaginations that go against the Word and what God wants you to think, you say, “Okay, I should not go with that thought. I’m not going to keep thinking about that thought.” That is how you bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Remember, the enemy is going to give you ideas and imaginations that go against the Lord. If you think about whatever comes into your mind, you are letting a stronghold be built. Take those imaginations captive and cast them down to the obedience of Christ.
Jesus was obedient in the way that He became our sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ. His sacrifice and resurrection enabled us to stand before God without any guilt or inferiority.
A lot of the imaginations and strongholds we deal with are from the past. That’s a stronghold from something that’s happened. Bring it to the obedience of Christ. Capture that thought and make it bow to the righteousness in God.
When a negative thought comes to you, just say, “I’m the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ!”

“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
(1 John 1:6 NASB)
In addition to the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes of readiness, we are to make sure we take the shield of faith above all. With the shield of faith, we are able to snuff out all the fiery arrows that our enemy, Satan, has set on fire and thrown at us through the trying experiences of our life.
The Message Bible says: “Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued…faith….”
The Roman soldier carried a huge shield into battle against his enemies. He would raise it up to protect himself as the adversary filled the air with a barrage of fiery arrows.
Everything the enemy threw at him failed, because the shield did its job by protecting the soldier. So, let your faith be like a shield. Carry it with you at all times and you will be able to quench all the troubling circumstances shot at you by the wicked one.
Today’s Thought to Take With You:
I take my shield of faith and raise it against the fiery darts the enemy throws at me. I prevail over all the attacks of the enemy.

- Reading Plan B: Matthew 26
- Reading Plan C: Psalms 85-87; Romans 9

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
(Luke 4:18 KJV)
Jesus ministered to people by the anointing of the Spirit that was upon Him. His anointing is an example for us to follow when it comes to serving people. Who did Jesus have in mind when He preached to the poor? The poor. Who was He thinking about when He preached deliverance? The captives.
The Message Bible says: God’s Spirit is on me; he’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, To set the burdened and battered free.
The Holy Spirit is now in us. Jesus Christ has blessed us with His Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit of the Lord who stays with us and teaches us what we need to know to serve others. In every situation He will give to us inward impressions. We need to lay hold of them and follow them and the ministry of Jesus will continue today.
Today’s Thought to Take With You:
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is teaching me and guiding me and I trust Him.

Worldwide, people are looking for different kinds of “freedom.” They search for the freedom to raise their families, to be treated equally by others, to have an education, to practice what religion they want, to choose their relationships, to choose the look they would like, access information via the internet and other means, to be protected by laws, to serve their countries, to speak the language of their choice, to travel, to vote, to own property, to eat what they want, to own a business, to defend themselves, to go outside alone. We may have access to all these freedoms in the United States, but in other countries, they do not.
Those that have accepted Christ and His salvation have freedom also. Even though these freedoms apply to everyone who has accepted Christ, many do not live as though they are free. We are promised freedom from the conditions of sin, disease, and death. (Luke 4:18-19) People who proclaim Christ as their Lord have the righteousness He gained at the cross for us. We are free from dishonest, immoral, and wretched behavior. How? Only through Him. Not by ourselves. He cleanses us by His blood, stripping away everything that defiles us. He went to the cross to give people a life on earth and in heaven that was full and free. He did not go to the cross for each person to have a ticket to heaven. He went to the cross to rid us of our outrageous emotions, inadequate education or knowledge, physical deficiency, and lack of material possessions.
While freedom is a valuable power we all cherish, not everyone acknowledges the extreme sacrifices made to obtain it. Citizens of the United States should be aware of the many sacrifices made to gain and celebrate freedom. Even more so, as followers of Christ, we should be thankful and celebrate the Savior that has made us free.
I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.
Psalm 119:45
