After July 13, 2024, there can be no doubt God exists. If Trump had not tilted his head at the right angle at the right second, he would be dead today and America in flames. God saved President Donald J. Trump and America.

God sends His angels 😇 to help us at the right time, though we may not discern them.
( Example:When my son was a toddler, I was feeding him in his high chair and our floor was unpolished hard tile. For one minute I got up to get something a foot away. He got very antsy and instantly was in a position of literally falling head first unto the floor. I felt time stop long enough for me to catch him. It defied time. I knew that it had to be an angel that stopped his fall).
God intervenes in so many ways from Heaven. Thank you God! 😊 🙏
We too had a firsthand experience with the existence of Angels. A few years ago our son’s car broke down on a busy expressway where cars were going impossibly fast (75-80 mph) on both sides of the chevroned median he safely pulled over to while waiting for a tow truck. Some woman who was impatient with the fast moving merge lane chose to drive in the median area to bypass everyone in front of her. My son’s car engine was off, and so was his seatbelt because he had just gotten back inside after taking a picture of the surrounding area for the tow truck driver to find him. His hazards were on, but she rear ended him traveling 75 mph. It threw him and his car forward the entire 425ft length of the chevroned median area. His car came to a stop at the very tip end where cars on both sides whizzed past within inches of each door.
Paramedics and firemen said he should have been catapulted through his windshield and not be alive. They said the chances of any car traveling an exact, geometrically straight line like that for that distance without veering to one side or the other into traffic was nothing short of a miracle. Our son was shaken, but walked away with only a cut on his forehead. I wholeheartedly believe angels were on both sides of his car that day guiding it safely. There’s just no way you could recreate what happened even if you tried, not without CGI. ❤️🙏 We thank God every day for sparing his life.
I love these evidences. My friend and another computer guy were waiting in a Sam Trans commute line at rush hour in SF, they got a call from someone at work to come immediately, and after they left a rogue bus that had lost its brakes plowed through the line of waiting commuters, killing and injuring them.
Thank you! Recently my cat was attacked by a feral Tom cat and I ran after them as they tumbled down the uneven stone steps of the apartment complex, down a hill, no handrails, nothing. I flew down the steps , did not trip or fall, miraculously. I am sure angels were holding me up. My cat was injured but is fine now.
So are the fallen angels. 1/3 of them were cast down from heaven. Prowling like lions like their leader. Stay aware; pray constantly. Love God and your neighbor.
Because of 2 Peter 2:4 I think we are seeing the work of demons vs fallen angels. But, definitely we are to do all you mentioned for the battle is real.
Oh, I believe the fallen angels ARE the demons. If people believe in angels they have to realize that demons are real, too. I agree we are seeing work that is being supported by demons.
The demons are the spirits of the Nephillim. And I agree. Fallen angels are among us. Demons don’t have the power of angels. And the battle is harder than it has ever been, at least for me. I’m not sure that the angels held in captivity have yet been loosed. But I think it’s possible. The battle is going to get harder. Better put on the armor of God…….HIS WORD!!
When my father was dying in 1989, my firefighter brother was working and living about 175 miles away from the hospital where our father was. He was driving down to the hospital but was tired and fell asleep at the wheel. Something jerked him out of his sleep and he was about to drive off the road but was able to catch it in time, and for some reason he glanced at the car's clock. It was 2:54 p.m. He later found out our father died at exactly 2:54 p.m.
In 1990, I was in a big ole Crown Victoria station wagon with my husband and four children. He was driving the New Jersey Turnpike, where the speed limit must have been 95. It was raining and it was rush hour traffic. We were small town Floridians visiting relatives and clueless.
My husband started to exit and then quickly changed his mind. All I know is he pulled directly into the path of a large white van that could not possibly have missed us. I had the distinct impression that it just went right through us.
I knew we should all have been dead. The van driver ended up beside us an let us know that whatever he had experienced, he was most unhappy about it.
I commented somewhere a while back, maybe a year ago, that I felt Trump was here because he had an historically pivotal role to play. In something. I was vilified, as a ‘Trump lover’ which is funny, because Trump wasn’t my preference in the primaries (I love the policy nerd that is Desantis), although I’m 100% behind him now. After the shooting Saturday, I am more convinced than ever that Trump is here, right now, doing what he’s doing, for a reason. Personally, I believe it’s a God thing... He has used many flawed men to advance his kingdom over the course of history. Whatever his role is, though, it will be pivotal. And not just to the US.
Nard, having lost my son at the young age of 32 to a very rare cancer, I have come to understand that God has numbered each one of our days for His reasons we can not understand. In my understanding, God should have left him longer on this earth. He was a much loved Pastor, husband and father to two young children. However, in the 7 years since his passing I have come to a greater understanding of God's sovereignty. It sounded like Corey knew the Lord and we can be comforted that he is with Him now. I have no doubt that God protected our former president.
Yesterday, when I first saw his name given, when I read that he had thrown his wife and daughter on the ground and lain on top of them to protect them, taking the bullet which killed him, I prayed for his soul. And I felt shivers go over my arms and legs for a couplr of minutes, the Holy Spirit answering my prayer. Then twice more yesterday when I saw him mentioned. I wish he were still with his family, but I know he is happy in Heaven now. I made a small donation to the Go Fund Me, thanks for the link! Super article today!
Camille, your answer to that comment comes from the wisdom gained from your tragic experience. God has blessed you with the peace that passes understanding.. Those who have no relationship with God never understand the concept of God’s sovereignty and yes… goodness.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 ESV
So many reject this statement that ALL things work for good, because they are missing the caveat part…”for those who love God”.
Remember the old phrase, ‘only the good die young’? I’ve known of many very good people who died young. I tend to think that they finished the race early, they did all that God put them on this earth to accomplish and got to go home early.
Validation, Freebird. Christ called my big sister home very soon after her youngest graduated high school. She was a happy, vibrant, busy, God-fearing woman directing music on Christmas Eve when she had a massive brain hemorrhage, stepped outside the church, and never regained consciousness—here on earth anyway. I’ve wondered why He would take such a blessing from us. The answer came to me, “She faithfully accomplished what I asked her to do. I want to reward her.”
I’m so sorry for your loss. This knowledge doesn’t diminish our grief at the loss of a loved one, but it does bring us peace. And what comfort we have in knowing Christ, for our families and ourselves! I often wonder how people without that faith cope with those losses.
Thank you. Years before he died, Dad told his grandkids, “No tears at my funeral! I’ll be gone to heaven, and I want you to say, ‘Hooray for Papa!’” They honored his request. I mourn for survivors and pray for their peace, but we all know mortal death is a Christian’s victory. “To die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). My favorite funeral hymn: “For all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Allelujah!”
Oh my goodness! That takes me back 55 years to dinner waiting on the table, Dad on his way home from work, and Mom patiently playing the piano. Happened at least once a week for many years. Thank you, and blessings to you!
That was sung at my dearest Pastor's funeral by an enormous choir compromised of members from numerous churches and the local Synagogue. I sang along, as did many in the congregation, because I learned it in choir at the hyper-liberal school I attended... That was back in the early 70s, before they vanished any songs that proclaimed Christ and all things associated... It was glorious! We sang him into heaven!
Long years ago, I was providing daycare to a toddler and, after school care to his sister, in kindergarten with my middle child. A Jewish family. Little girl's grandmother died, mother, as she confided to me, went to library to get a book which would explain this to child. I was taken aback, and so sad.
Freebird, indeed. I have come to understand many things. Including what it means to have the "joy of the Lord", no matter what happens to you in your life. When you have a biblical perspective that changes EVERYTHING.
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope." 1 Thessalonians 4:13
Very true. God used the Pharoah in Egypt without changing his heart. Trump is not invincible and must still be protected. Lowering the temperature of debate is not weakness. It takes more energy to hold our tongues. We must firstly, as brothers and sisters in Christ, share the Gospel, right? Increase faith and make people wonder why we're different and what we know so they will be encouraged to take the same path. I'm not saying I'm perfect in this manner; I fail way to often. I wish only to remind myself and other brothers and sisters what's really important. God bless everyone! Even Joe Biden, that man that is a slave to pride and arrogance and blinded from knowing his faults. Poor guy. He hasn't a chance to make it with his unrepentant heart.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can also get us ‘through’.
We pray that He will get us ‘out’, but since we have been complicit in the sins committed by our own government through our very silence, I have a feeling we will have to go THROUGH some hard times, just as Israel did in the wilderness, just as the three Hebrew children going through the fire. But HE will be with us. May He Who wrestled with Jacob wrestle us and may HE win!!!!
I just ordered a book called The Fourth Turning is Here. Might be something you'd wanna read. (I have NO idea if it's a good book or not. It just sounds like it's on the same wavelength you are.)
Type in 'Hermit of Loreto youtube' and listen to the 8-minute video from the priest that gave compelling evidence, in early 2017, that DJT has been sent to bring America back to God.
I love this. I wear Our Lady of Loreto medal… she is the Patron of Flyers. (I’m a retired Navy Helicopter Pilot). She definitely was with me when I was flying.
Whereas Jill was on The View, telling all that the choice was between her husband, kind, good, loving truthful ,of integrity, and the other one--evil. Saw it b/c a young man was there, his jaw dropping as she proceeded through her encomium, then proceeded to filet her. Figuratively. (felt need to add that disclaimer, as Dems speak such words w. literal meaning).
Valerie, I think you would enjoy Lance Wallnau's book, "God's Chaos Candidate". Lance is a well respected prophetic voice in the church and makes a case that Trump is like King Cyrus in Isaiah 45 (?) who released the captive Hebrews from Babylonia to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple and paid for it out of his treasury. He declared he believed in the Hebrew's God.
And am struck by fact that Jonah was sent to Ninevah--Assyria! Those are Gentiles! And their king took the warning so seriously that he ordered a 3-day dry fast (in that climate?) for humans and their animals as well. Averted God's wrath.
The book of Judges (and indeed, much of the Old Testament) is full of stories about very imperfect people that God appointed “for such a time as this.”
"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
There is a YouTuber, Melanie King, who has a photo from TikTok@wardeadpool that shows a bullet hole in Trump's upper right side. The suggestion is that the bullet was stopped by a bulletproof vest. Has anyone else seen anything on this?
Ok, so this is weird, my husband saw a video of the shooter, supposedly AFTER the shooting, him saying that they "got the wrong man" ????? Anyone collaborate or elaborate on this??? I thought that was extremely weird!!!
Thank you. Noticing the growth of this “beauty” procedure in my middle/high school, 2007 into teens, then almost of a sudden, it stopped—I figured there would a lot of nice cars and $$$ vacations for cosmetic surgeons in the future. Same for tatts.
Yes, and the leaked instructions to the media about how to minimize the whole thing, incident, not assassination attempt, no appearance of gravity or “long faces”. It was all spelled out how it was to be handled by the media. Ya know, this is no different than the old USSR. But it’s so hard now to achieve their desired results due to the internet, ubiquitous phone cameras etc. they try but can’t put a lid on everything. COVID demonstrated that.
Wouldn't that be amazing! But then he'd have to get both ears pierced because the right ear means he's gay (at least that's what it used to mean in the 90s)
“You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear” (Deuteronomy 7:19).
There are no coincidences. And, did this begin in Genesis? Genesis 6:11 says "Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence." A warning shot rang out and reminds us to fight the evil around us and get back to God.
I do believe God exists, but I cannot comprehend God sacrificing a good man for the sake of another. If God saved Trump, why not save Corey Comperatore? I’m glad Trump survived, but I’m not convinced it was an act of God.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5
Hi Nard, that is a great question, and we can turn to the Bible for help. The Bible provides several insights that can help us understand this difficult issue.
Death entered the world through Adam's sin, not through God's original design (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12). We live in a fallen world where death, disease, and suffering are present because of humanity's collective sin. This means that the tragedies we experience are a result of living in a broken world, not a direct act of God.
God is not the author of calamity but rather our Comforter in the midst of it (John 14:26). He promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). While we may not understand why certain events happen, we can trust that God is with us, providing comfort and strength during our times of grief.
It is important to remember that believers are not under God's wrath or judgment (Romans 5:9; John 5:24). Jesus' death on the cross was the full punishment for our sins, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). This means that God is not punishing us or our loved ones through death or suffering.
Our hope as Christians is not in this life but in the eternal life we have in Christ (Colossians 3:1-4). Jesus promises us that in this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). The assurance of eternal life with God provides us with hope and comfort, even in the face of loss.
Though we do not have all the answers to why specific tragedies occur, we can trust in God's goodness, His presence with us, and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. ✝️❤️
Thank you for this. I had been feeling like God was punishing me for something since 2020 with everything that had happened in my life and to family and friends. A little while ago I suddenly came to the understanding that it wasn’t all about me and that the reasons for my loved ones dying when they did likely had more to do with them, their needs, and with the situation in the world at large, than with me—even though I was suffering the consequences. And so your reminder that whatever happens to us in this world, that is not what we need to focus on, is very timely. I need to keep in mind that eternal life, not this fallen world, is what my sights should always be on.
Oh no, our loved ones dying is never God's punishment. Death was never God's plan for the world. But He uses it, and the greatest mystery of all is that he chose to experience it himself as Christ, turning the most horrible of things into the greatest demonstration of his love for us.
I too have lost loved ones, but I know that God loves them even more than I do. I do not believe God wanted my daughter to suffer and die from cancer (her death was caused by negligent doctors and is on them not God; he allows us free will after all, and that means people are free to be criminally negligent). I do believe He knew she would die this way and provided so many graces including the timing of her death. He loves her so much more than I; I am just beginning to see that now. Grief is a journey and a long and winding one. Be patient with yourself through it. 🙏💜
I guess it just felt like a lot to go through, and even though I knew on an intellectual level that it wasn’t punishment, it sure felt like it 😕 At first I just thought, God is trying to teach me something through this, but then came to the realization that whatever I learn is not necessarily the reason for these things happening, but more simply an effect, if that makes any sense.
And, "whom God loves, He chastens" as I ( having just returned from hospital 6/29 , with a splint on shattered radius) responded to grandson who asked, "Why does Grandma have so many accidents?"
I follow pastor Dr. Andrew Farley, who has a wonderful, purely Biblical grace message that surprises most Christians. Most of us don't realize we can rest in Jesus and stop trying to out-best everyone else with our good works. Check him out!
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Matthew 14:27
All the answers to those questions remain elusive this side of heaven. No way our finite minds can comprehend God’s ways. But, we do know that God is in control and has a plan to work things out for good for His glory. Our part is to trust, to be faithful and to obey.
As difficult as it is to hear when we ask Why it is actually prideful and a god-like attitude. The right attitude is like Jobs…. is to say wHy NOT me…. Lord I deserve nothing. Humility.
God’s ways are not our ways nor his thoughts, our thoughts. Just because we cannot see how this current situation might end or what it may mean, doesn’t mean that God, who is sovereign over everything, does not. In our own lives we often see, much later, why something happened. And often, it is something difficult or unwanted. But God sees the end from the beginning and knows all. That is the difference in our lives. Either we trust him or we don’t. But He does not call us to stand on the sidelines and just watch. He expects us to pray and to work. Jeff is doing that, and we should all do it as well. Whether it is just talking to friends, or praying in private, God uses our prayers. Just like with Job…God told him to pray for his friends, even though God was right there, but JOB had to pray for his friends and THEN God would forgive them.
“And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.” Job 42: 8b-9.
Regarding Corey Comperatore, in one sense, he gave his life for his family. But it was his time, as no one goes before his time. God says, in Psalm 139, that "in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." The world is praying for his family and God will support them and sustain them in this new life that they now have to live.
I’m glad you believe God exists. My prayer is that you’ll to get to know him by reading his Word and develop a relationship with him. After that a question like this will never again enter your mind.
I've had many "good" people taken from me in my life. Family men, godly women, innocent children. Do I understand it? Absolutely not. This verse has helped me to remember not to put God in a box or make Him in my image ("Well, I certainly wouldn't have done that!) He's God. I'm not.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT
[8] “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. [9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Uhhh, He sacrificed his only son for all of humanity.....And if Jesus wasn't "a good man", then no one is (not that we can be, that being the whole point)
He gave us His Son who went to the Cross what more should HE give? This was a horrible act of free will by a great number of satanic players. This is not Gods fault. Shame on you for suggesting so. Maybe it’s the fault of Buddha or Gia?.
Agreed, but we do NOT know the thoughts or ways of God as you yourself should know. It may be that God IS saddened by this death, but it was from evil, evil and sin are in this world and God did NOT want this but because of man's inability to keep God in front of him, sin and evil rules this world. We need as a nation to come BACK to God in REPENTENCE and seeking forgiveness for our sins individually and our sins as a nation. You know the famous passage, If we humble ourselves (in repentance and seeking forgiveness), God will hear and heal our land (yes paraphrasing since I don't have a bible handy atm) and this is what is lacking in our country right now. As Pastor Faircloth calls it -, LGBT BBQ, trans, homosexuality and such run rampant across this land, in addition to child trafficking, abortion (child sacrifice), God has lifted His arm of protection off this nation, off our so-called churches (lukewarm or non-existence). We need to turn back to God individually AND as a nation!!!!
Well a pastor would not question the God I know. Frankly I don’t care if you are a lay pastor what’s your point in that. Like it’s not material to an opinion. It sounds like trying to bring up sexuality….again has nothing to do with opinions. I’m a CPA.
Not questioning God…just asking questions. Much like we did in the pandemic. And with vaccines. Is it God’s will that so many died because of the vax? Asking questions is never a bad thing.
If any of you guys have a free hour or so to watch this teaching by Jack Hibbs, it is a real eye-opener. Jump to 14:30 if you want to skip the worship music. It brought me greater clarity and peace in Sunday
God’s ways are higher than our ways. He knows the beginning and the ending.
Though many (including myself) use reason and understanding of His word to feel like we know, we can never fully understand and it doesn’t bring comfort to everyone.
So I will just say: I trust God knows & God is in control.
I once asked a holy man how could God allow a young man in his late 30's whom I knew personally to be gunned down by a terrorist group. His answer you don't know what the future for that man would hold whereas God knew that this was the best time to take him. We cannot, with a small and limited minds, be able to comprehend God
Maybe it was an act of God, and the sacrifice of a truly good man was necessary and critical in God’s plan to protect from the falsehoods that would be spread that this was all staged. I guarantee you his rewards in heaven will be great for his selflessness in sacrifice to protecting his family first and for his attempting to wake up every morning and live an obedient life to God as best he could. God doesn’t always save innocents, but that doesn’t mean he is unworthy of our reverence and love. It doesn’t mean he is cruel or unfeeling. I couldn’t save my own children from the consequences of their occasional bad choices, but I also couldn’t save them from the hurt and pain caused by others choosing sin and evil against them in spite of them doing and being good, and believe me I tried as hard as any mother should to save them from the evil acts of others. The fact that I could not protect them fully does not mean I’m not a loving mother or unsuccessful or incompetent at my job, and unworthy of their trust. We can’t force people to choose good, therein lies the true test of love, giving them freedom to choose on their own. But to truly give that freedom of choice it means sometimes one man will hurt another who is innocent. God doesn’t just protect us here in the flesh, he protects us into eternity - for those who love Him.
God can do anything, yes, but like any parent he has to take into account what is necessary for the sake of the whole family as a unit. When it serves a greater purpose he sometimes allows the pain and injustice towards those who don’t deserve it. (Think Job) And I am confident no suffering is felt by those who are not saved and his immense love and rewards are showered on them when they unite with Him in heaven.
You don’t have to comprehend his ways before you give Him your faith and trust, before you give him the benefit of the doubt. Just like children can’t possibly see all that a parent sees before they choose to obey them, because the child has not lived enough to learn and understand and see all that the parent knows. The parent sees so much further than the child is capable of. God sees a bigger picture than you or I are able to see. We have to trust that our “Father” has our best interests at heart and faithfully obey. And of course good parents do. Just because there are parents among us, who are sinful, and they violate that principle does not mean the principle isn’t true.
We all have free will. Since the evildoers are running the show right now, we allowed it to happen.. I don’t know why he was allowed to die either. I’m glad he was a born again Christian.
God will use the affliction of both of these men. He will and has been using Trump to expose the evils of this current administration and if he is allowed by God to make it through this election cycle to make changes for the good, apparently God isn’t done with Trump yet, and Corey’s to enrage the people to the point of making changes and motivating them to Do Something about what is happening to this Country. Corey is a righteous man and undeserving of this death, but only the Lord numbers our days. I would imagine this would have been his last day on earth no matter the situation. We don’t die before our time. I pray for his family as they grieve their loss of this good and godly man. I pray they find joy and peace that he is singing hallelujah with the angels at the feet of Jesus.
Many of our ur eyes are being opened and the truth is coming out. Praise be to the God of all creation!
I was reminded of George Washington when I learned of the assassination attempt. Good to know history and it will deepen your faith in God:
"While riding along the ranks looking to steady the men, Washington had two horses shot out from under him and four bullet holes shot through his coat." He was unharmed. Look it up.
By the way, I did not learn this in public school.
Exactly my immediate thought! GOD protects His anointed. GOD is always working - no days, nights or weekends off. The thought of Him brings comfort and “the peace that surpasses all understanding “.
The Georgia Guidestones destruction awhile back revealed that He is in fact with us.
Still, it took four? shots from how close? God protected Trump and sadly also proved it wasn't a bb gun or accidentally roughed up by attacking SS ladies.
👉Roof gunman shot from had been 'flagged as security concern' by Secret Service
'The roof from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot at Donald Trump had reportedly been flagged as a potential security problem by the Secret Service before the assassination attempt, according to a report by NBC News.
Crooks climbed on to the roof of a building belonging to a glass research company which was 150 yards from where Trump was speaking on a stage in Butler, Pennsylvania. A source told NBC News:
Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,”
The Secret Service had indicated the building should be under the jursdiction of local law enforcement because it was outside the rally perimiter, according to the report'.
Passing the buck. As usual, no one takes personal responsibility for anything these days. Which is exactly why things like this happen. It’s like little kids saying, ‘not me! He did it!’. Disgusting, and disappointing.
Yep, big time deflection of responsibility. And there was a ladder. How and when was it put there? Did the shooter bring it with him or was it placed there beforehand? How did he know to place it on that particular building whey wasn’t it noticed before? Why did a local policeman climb it, see the gunman, and scurry back down?
150yds is outside the perimeter??? And pretty much the only roof not occupied by a security marksman?? If that is so, the first thing that President Trump should do after his inauguration is a complete overhaul of USSS.
There's that Magic Term again --- perimeter. Apparently as fixed as the North Star ... constant, immovable and inviolate! Never to be expanded, or contracted, nor moved about in anyway.
Perimeter! It is also a religious word because if something lies outside one's 'perimeter' ... then one is absolved of all sin, all responsibility!
Totally amazing how that powerful word works. And I'm going to remember that word! Because the next time DeWife asks me why didn't I do this or that I can just say ... "Well! That job was outside my perimeter!"
For Catholics, the 13th of the month is quite meaningful. Our Lady of Fatima appeared on the 13th of the month for six months in a row. Saint Pope John Paul II was also shot on the 13th of a month and was protected. Heaven is definitely interceding on Trump's behalf.
Orthodox too. Prayer is efficacious for all souls, whether they are experiencing a foretaste of heaven or hell until the final judgement.
That is why traditionally in foreign cultures, one said "may God have mercy on his/her soul" , though I do think that "rest in peace" has the same intention, though not as clear.
My mother's 106th birthday anniversary was Thurs. I prayed for her soul that day (and sent note to brothers and children suggesting same). Protestant here. Nothing to do with doctrine, just moved to offer prayer.
As I’ve said,there will necessarily be some killing in our future. But to wake the sleeping or one eye open giant that is us, it will take something so egregious…
Trump's weakness (?) is that he actually has a heart when it comes to his competition having lost. He is extrembly competitive, but feels for the loser. It is a good trait, a leadership trait.
I am sorry that you take my words as being that of an adoring fan. 🤭Obviously you have not read my many posts of honest critiques about certain things he has done or said. 🤔
I am not a blind fan of anyone!!
I am. however, entitled to my observations which include RFKJR being a man of integrity and reason.
I base my assumption on Trump from when he was running on 'getting Hillary' for her illegal actions in 2016. After she LOST to him, his rhetoric turned nice, going as far as saying that she and Bill were good people.
While anyone in politics or business is an opportunist, I still stand by my observation. I think that he hates losing because of his competitive ego, but he is gracious to those who he has lost to.
In any case, what does it matter? If you think that Biden is better for your vision of the country, then, by all means, vote for him. It is your prerogative. I wouldn't insult you for it!
Also, with all due respect, saying that I do not have the ability to be a critical thinker is extremely insulting and offensive, and just as much as if I were to say you have TDS.
don't know know? Haven't you been paying attention to the dumbocrats and the main stream propaganda? That the right-wing and Trump will be the end of democracy
Yuri, I've been praying (in our before dinner prayer, where two of us are gathered......) for several mos. "for those in positions of power or authority(knowing full well who put them there), that their hearts may turn to Him". So I guess I/we've been doing our homework.
Salena Zeto, a reporter, was at the rally with her daughter. She has been to many and noted to Glenn Beck this morning that in all the rallies she has seen, it was the first time he’d used graphics, and also the first time he’d turned his head to the side like that, to look at what he was speaking about, while keeping his body facing the audience.
I feel the same as Yuri regarding the flames. It may spontaneously combust or it may take a spark but the kindling is dry and just waiting.... You feel it and don't deny it.
After July 13, 2024, there can be no doubt God exists. If Trump had not tilted his head at the right angle at the right second, he would be dead today and America in flames. God saved President Donald J. Trump and America.
Pray for Corey and his family.
God sends His angels 😇 to help us at the right time, though we may not discern them.
( Example:When my son was a toddler, I was feeding him in his high chair and our floor was unpolished hard tile. For one minute I got up to get something a foot away. He got very antsy and instantly was in a position of literally falling head first unto the floor. I felt time stop long enough for me to catch him. It defied time. I knew that it had to be an angel that stopped his fall).
God intervenes in so many ways from Heaven. Thank you God! 😊 🙏
We too had a firsthand experience with the existence of Angels. A few years ago our son’s car broke down on a busy expressway where cars were going impossibly fast (75-80 mph) on both sides of the chevroned median he safely pulled over to while waiting for a tow truck. Some woman who was impatient with the fast moving merge lane chose to drive in the median area to bypass everyone in front of her. My son’s car engine was off, and so was his seatbelt because he had just gotten back inside after taking a picture of the surrounding area for the tow truck driver to find him. His hazards were on, but she rear ended him traveling 75 mph. It threw him and his car forward the entire 425ft length of the chevroned median area. His car came to a stop at the very tip end where cars on both sides whizzed past within inches of each door.
Paramedics and firemen said he should have been catapulted through his windshield and not be alive. They said the chances of any car traveling an exact, geometrically straight line like that for that distance without veering to one side or the other into traffic was nothing short of a miracle. Our son was shaken, but walked away with only a cut on his forehead. I wholeheartedly believe angels were on both sides of his car that day guiding it safely. There’s just no way you could recreate what happened even if you tried, not without CGI. ❤️🙏 We thank God every day for sparing his life.
I love these evidences. My friend and another computer guy were waiting in a Sam Trans commute line at rush hour in SF, they got a call from someone at work to come immediately, and after they left a rogue bus that had lost its brakes plowed through the line of waiting commuters, killing and injuring them.
Amazing story! <shivers>
Oh wow! What a blessing that he was protected from harm!
😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🥲😇
God is so good.
Thank you! Recently my cat was attacked by a feral Tom cat and I ran after them as they tumbled down the uneven stone steps of the apartment complex, down a hill, no handrails, nothing. I flew down the steps , did not trip or fall, miraculously. I am sure angels were holding me up. My cat was injured but is fine now.
Cuddle that cat!
Happy that you are both fine! 😊🙏
❤️
What is the feline gestation period?
Two Tom cats.
Your story is amazing! Yes, angels are among us 💯
So are the fallen angels. 1/3 of them were cast down from heaven. Prowling like lions like their leader. Stay aware; pray constantly. Love God and your neighbor.
Because of 2 Peter 2:4 I think we are seeing the work of demons vs fallen angels. But, definitely we are to do all you mentioned for the battle is real.
Oh, I believe the fallen angels ARE the demons. If people believe in angels they have to realize that demons are real, too. I agree we are seeing work that is being supported by demons.
The demons are the spirits of the Nephillim. And I agree. Fallen angels are among us. Demons don’t have the power of angels. And the battle is harder than it has ever been, at least for me. I’m not sure that the angels held in captivity have yet been loosed. But I think it’s possible. The battle is going to get harder. Better put on the armor of God…….HIS WORD!!
This is true. Both are
When my father was dying in 1989, my firefighter brother was working and living about 175 miles away from the hospital where our father was. He was driving down to the hospital but was tired and fell asleep at the wheel. Something jerked him out of his sleep and he was about to drive off the road but was able to catch it in time, and for some reason he glanced at the car's clock. It was 2:54 p.m. He later found out our father died at exactly 2:54 p.m.
Wow
In 1990, I was in a big ole Crown Victoria station wagon with my husband and four children. He was driving the New Jersey Turnpike, where the speed limit must have been 95. It was raining and it was rush hour traffic. We were small town Floridians visiting relatives and clueless.
My husband started to exit and then quickly changed his mind. All I know is he pulled directly into the path of a large white van that could not possibly have missed us. I had the distinct impression that it just went right through us.
I knew we should all have been dead. The van driver ended up beside us an let us know that whatever he had experienced, he was most unhappy about it.
I was protected numerous times while being gang stalked, got me much closer to Jesus.
Amen Angela!
I commented somewhere a while back, maybe a year ago, that I felt Trump was here because he had an historically pivotal role to play. In something. I was vilified, as a ‘Trump lover’ which is funny, because Trump wasn’t my preference in the primaries (I love the policy nerd that is Desantis), although I’m 100% behind him now. After the shooting Saturday, I am more convinced than ever that Trump is here, right now, doing what he’s doing, for a reason. Personally, I believe it’s a God thing... He has used many flawed men to advance his kingdom over the course of history. Whatever his role is, though, it will be pivotal. And not just to the US.
Nard, having lost my son at the young age of 32 to a very rare cancer, I have come to understand that God has numbered each one of our days for His reasons we can not understand. In my understanding, God should have left him longer on this earth. He was a much loved Pastor, husband and father to two young children. However, in the 7 years since his passing I have come to a greater understanding of God's sovereignty. It sounded like Corey knew the Lord and we can be comforted that he is with Him now. I have no doubt that God protected our former president.
Yesterday, when I first saw his name given, when I read that he had thrown his wife and daughter on the ground and lain on top of them to protect them, taking the bullet which killed him, I prayed for his soul. And I felt shivers go over my arms and legs for a couplr of minutes, the Holy Spirit answering my prayer. Then twice more yesterday when I saw him mentioned. I wish he were still with his family, but I know he is happy in Heaven now. I made a small donation to the Go Fund Me, thanks for the link! Super article today!
💕
Cia, check out the GoFundMe page. Its $4.5 million now!!
Camille, your answer to that comment comes from the wisdom gained from your tragic experience. God has blessed you with the peace that passes understanding.. Those who have no relationship with God never understand the concept of God’s sovereignty and yes… goodness.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 ESV
So many reject this statement that ALL things work for good, because they are missing the caveat part…”for those who love God”.
Remember the old phrase, ‘only the good die young’? I’ve known of many very good people who died young. I tend to think that they finished the race early, they did all that God put them on this earth to accomplish and got to go home early.
Validation, Freebird. Christ called my big sister home very soon after her youngest graduated high school. She was a happy, vibrant, busy, God-fearing woman directing music on Christmas Eve when she had a massive brain hemorrhage, stepped outside the church, and never regained consciousness—here on earth anyway. I’ve wondered why He would take such a blessing from us. The answer came to me, “She faithfully accomplished what I asked her to do. I want to reward her.”
I’m so sorry for your loss. This knowledge doesn’t diminish our grief at the loss of a loved one, but it does bring us peace. And what comfort we have in knowing Christ, for our families and ourselves! I often wonder how people without that faith cope with those losses.
Thank you. Years before he died, Dad told his grandkids, “No tears at my funeral! I’ll be gone to heaven, and I want you to say, ‘Hooray for Papa!’” They honored his request. I mourn for survivors and pray for their peace, but we all know mortal death is a Christian’s victory. “To die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). My favorite funeral hymn: “For all the saints, who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Allelujah!”
I love that hymn, I may add it to my list! My other favorite funeral hymn is. Be Still my Soul , the last verse is especially beautiful…
Be still, my soul; the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
God Bless you friend!
Oh my goodness! That takes me back 55 years to dinner waiting on the table, Dad on his way home from work, and Mom patiently playing the piano. Happened at least once a week for many years. Thank you, and blessings to you!
That was sung at my dearest Pastor's funeral by an enormous choir compromised of members from numerous churches and the local Synagogue. I sang along, as did many in the congregation, because I learned it in choir at the hyper-liberal school I attended... That was back in the early 70s, before they vanished any songs that proclaimed Christ and all things associated... It was glorious! We sang him into heaven!
One of my favorites also.
Long years ago, I was providing daycare to a toddler and, after school care to his sister, in kindergarten with my middle child. A Jewish family. Little girl's grandmother died, mother, as she confided to me, went to library to get a book which would explain this to child. I was taken aback, and so sad.
How about the classic statement by Joseph “what you meant for evil God used for good!”
Freebird, indeed. I have come to understand many things. Including what it means to have the "joy of the Lord", no matter what happens to you in your life. When you have a biblical perspective that changes EVERYTHING.
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope." 1 Thessalonians 4:13
And what a privilege that God gave you such a wonderful son!
For sure- all reports are that Corey loved the Lord and was a godly man. Read his daughters tribute to him!
People who reject God (or have never studied Scripture) aggressively reject the concept that God could be using Trump.
Those who hate Trump also reject that concept.
Rejection of God and/or ignorance of Him got us to where we are today.
But God can get us out. And the God who came to us not as a rich ruler but as a child born to a peasant girl uses very unexpected methods indeed.
Very true. God used the Pharoah in Egypt without changing his heart. Trump is not invincible and must still be protected. Lowering the temperature of debate is not weakness. It takes more energy to hold our tongues. We must firstly, as brothers and sisters in Christ, share the Gospel, right? Increase faith and make people wonder why we're different and what we know so they will be encouraged to take the same path. I'm not saying I'm perfect in this manner; I fail way to often. I wish only to remind myself and other brothers and sisters what's really important. God bless everyone! Even Joe Biden, that man that is a slave to pride and arrogance and blinded from knowing his faults. Poor guy. He hasn't a chance to make it with his unrepentant heart.
And consider the number of times Pharaoh was just about to give in, when his heart was hardened yet again.
Well said.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can also get us ‘through’.
We pray that He will get us ‘out’, but since we have been complicit in the sins committed by our own government through our very silence, I have a feeling we will have to go THROUGH some hard times, just as Israel did in the wilderness, just as the three Hebrew children going through the fire. But HE will be with us. May He Who wrestled with Jacob wrestle us and may HE win!!!!
I wish I could ❤️ love this a thousand time. He is always with us … he helps handle what we are given. We can do anything through him.
Just deserts for going along to get along.
I just ordered a book called The Fourth Turning is Here. Might be something you'd wanna read. (I have NO idea if it's a good book or not. It just sounds like it's on the same wavelength you are.)
Yes, very well said. 💜
Type in 'Hermit of Loreto youtube' and listen to the 8-minute video from the priest that gave compelling evidence, in early 2017, that DJT has been sent to bring America back to God.
Here is the link to that amazing video:
https://stfrancispilgrimages.com/blog/tom-zimmer-the-hermit-of-loreto
Incredible 🙏🏼
I love this. I wear Our Lady of Loreto medal… she is the Patron of Flyers. (I’m a retired Navy Helicopter Pilot). She definitely was with me when I was flying.
Verry interesting! Tom may have very well been a saint.
What an amazing video. Thank you for posting it. Also amazing was Melania’s response to the assasination attempt. What a beautiful soul.
Whereas Jill was on The View, telling all that the choice was between her husband, kind, good, loving truthful ,of integrity, and the other one--evil. Saw it b/c a young man was there, his jaw dropping as she proceeded through her encomium, then proceeded to filet her. Figuratively. (felt need to add that disclaimer, as Dems speak such words w. literal meaning).
Thank you for sharing! Goosebumps!
Your last note has shown up in several comments in past 36 hrs. I think of Aaron, Saul, David, Solomon.....yet God chose them for His work.
Ahab, Jezebel, Goliath, Herod, Pontius Pilate . . . Makes no difference. God has a plan, and everybody has a role to play.
Moses murdered a man. Yet the God of Israel used Moses to lead a nation.
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound.
Never mind David's many sins!! :) A man after God's own heart.
last point
My last note?
Valerie, I think you would enjoy Lance Wallnau's book, "God's Chaos Candidate". Lance is a well respected prophetic voice in the church and makes a case that Trump is like King Cyrus in Isaiah 45 (?) who released the captive Hebrews from Babylonia to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple and paid for it out of his treasury. He declared he believed in the Hebrew's God.
And am struck by fact that Jonah was sent to Ninevah--Assyria! Those are Gentiles! And their king took the warning so seriously that he ordered a 3-day dry fast (in that climate?) for humans and their animals as well. Averted God's wrath.
We are all flawed aren’t we?! That is our sin.
The book of Judges (and indeed, much of the Old Testament) is full of stories about very imperfect people that God appointed “for such a time as this.”
I absolutely agree. It is a God thing,
Definitely!
Y'all note that the shooter fired at 6:11 PM
What familiar Bible verse bears the number 6:11?
Ephesians, "Put on the full armor of God".
There are no coincidences.
Followed by Ephesians 6:12, my favorite:
"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
Which verse neatly contains your own great concerns--"those mighty powers". Is this in your mind as well?
There is a YouTuber, Melanie King, who has a photo from TikTok@wardeadpool that shows a bullet hole in Trump's upper right side. The suggestion is that the bullet was stopped by a bulletproof vest. Has anyone else seen anything on this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMFDnLo6HJ4
I saw a reported pic of dead shooter. His ear was crenellated and he had a repaired earlobe. Not the same ear as the photo of Crooks. ???
Ok, so this is weird, my husband saw a video of the shooter, supposedly AFTER the shooting, him saying that they "got the wrong man" ????? Anyone collaborate or elaborate on this??? I thought that was extremely weird!!!
I saw that, too. And the woman seated right behind DJT. Someone also gave the order to pull some SS to cover Jill Biden, who was campaigning in PA.
Yesterday 7/15 WH pooh-poohed this claim; today 7/16 it comes out as true.
The you tube Melanie king addresses that guy as a troll
I saw it
What did you make of that, was it legit?? I just saw it briefly, not the whole thing, but thought it freaky
It was really weird. Definitely looked like the pics I’ve seen of the shooter, but who knows?
Look into Maxwell Yearick. Antifa. Arrested at Trump rally in 2017 for assaulting police. From Pittsburgh.
Right? He’s possibly the real shooter.
Fake idiot troller. Look at Melanie King’s video posted above. The bullet hole in his jacket was news to me. He was clearly wearing body armor.
"repaired", as in formerly holding a gauge?
Yes. Hole repaired and left scar.
Thank you. Noticing the growth of this “beauty” procedure in my middle/high school, 2007 into teens, then almost of a sudden, it stopped—I figured there would a lot of nice cars and $$$ vacations for cosmetic surgeons in the future. Same for tatts.
Interesting. And interesting that a coordinated effort existed not to let people even listen to the news. Truth adds up. This doesn't.
Yes, and the leaked instructions to the media about how to minimize the whole thing, incident, not assassination attempt, no appearance of gravity or “long faces”. It was all spelled out how it was to be handled by the media. Ya know, this is no different than the old USSR. But it’s so hard now to achieve their desired results due to the internet, ubiquitous phone cameras etc. they try but can’t put a lid on everything. COVID demonstrated that.
I've been saying for at least 10 years that we're living in the old USSR. Now I realize how accurate I was!
I told my husband he has a new hole for an earring now, he should have a bullet made into an earring and wear that! LOL
not such a bad biz idea, tbh
My exact statement last night except we offered a few less tasteful options.
Wouldn't that be amazing! But then he'd have to get both ears pierced because the right ear means he's gay (at least that's what it used to mean in the 90s)
I remember that, but don't think he wants to go through that process again, should just stick to the one as a memento.
His security team had recently asked him to start wearing a Kevlar vest. Saved his life.
I saw the hole in his jacket.
“You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear” (Deuteronomy 7:19).
I saw the image on X. It looks like a bullet hole. But photoshop is an amazing thing.
There are no coincidences. And, did this begin in Genesis? Genesis 6:11 says "Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence." A warning shot rang out and reminds us to fight the evil around us and get back to God.
Once again. Let those who have ears, hear.
whoa Roger...ain't that something. good catch
Maybe God gave us all cellphones for a reason....after all?
If it wasn't for cellphone videos this case would've been "solved" yesterday.
Anything can be used for good or for evil.
Truth
I do believe God exists, but I cannot comprehend God sacrificing a good man for the sake of another. If God saved Trump, why not save Corey Comperatore? I’m glad Trump survived, but I’m not convinced it was an act of God.
After reading what the man's daughter wrote about him, I have no doubt he is in heaven with the Lord now. The man gave his life for his family.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
❤️
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5
That is the bedrock of Christianity
Because of our sin we all deserve death. But God, in His perfect love for us made a way to redeem us. It is all His doing. To God be the glory 🙌
Beautiful ❤️👍
No one knows the time or the hour. Only God, for His own reasons.
God acted the other night. It is clear as day to me.
We were one bullet away from losing our republic.
Hi Nard, that is a great question, and we can turn to the Bible for help. The Bible provides several insights that can help us understand this difficult issue.
Death entered the world through Adam's sin, not through God's original design (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12). We live in a fallen world where death, disease, and suffering are present because of humanity's collective sin. This means that the tragedies we experience are a result of living in a broken world, not a direct act of God.
God is not the author of calamity but rather our Comforter in the midst of it (John 14:26). He promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). While we may not understand why certain events happen, we can trust that God is with us, providing comfort and strength during our times of grief.
It is important to remember that believers are not under God's wrath or judgment (Romans 5:9; John 5:24). Jesus' death on the cross was the full punishment for our sins, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). This means that God is not punishing us or our loved ones through death or suffering.
Our hope as Christians is not in this life but in the eternal life we have in Christ (Colossians 3:1-4). Jesus promises us that in this world we will have trouble, but we can take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). The assurance of eternal life with God provides us with hope and comfort, even in the face of loss.
Though we do not have all the answers to why specific tragedies occur, we can trust in God's goodness, His presence with us, and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. ✝️❤️
Thank you for this. I had been feeling like God was punishing me for something since 2020 with everything that had happened in my life and to family and friends. A little while ago I suddenly came to the understanding that it wasn’t all about me and that the reasons for my loved ones dying when they did likely had more to do with them, their needs, and with the situation in the world at large, than with me—even though I was suffering the consequences. And so your reminder that whatever happens to us in this world, that is not what we need to focus on, is very timely. I need to keep in mind that eternal life, not this fallen world, is what my sights should always be on.
Oh no, our loved ones dying is never God's punishment. Death was never God's plan for the world. But He uses it, and the greatest mystery of all is that he chose to experience it himself as Christ, turning the most horrible of things into the greatest demonstration of his love for us.
I too have lost loved ones, but I know that God loves them even more than I do. I do not believe God wanted my daughter to suffer and die from cancer (her death was caused by negligent doctors and is on them not God; he allows us free will after all, and that means people are free to be criminally negligent). I do believe He knew she would die this way and provided so many graces including the timing of her death. He loves her so much more than I; I am just beginning to see that now. Grief is a journey and a long and winding one. Be patient with yourself through it. 🙏💜
I guess it just felt like a lot to go through, and even though I knew on an intellectual level that it wasn’t punishment, it sure felt like it 😕 At first I just thought, God is trying to teach me something through this, but then came to the realization that whatever I learn is not necessarily the reason for these things happening, but more simply an effect, if that makes any sense.
Amen RL. That focus will also help when things get tumultuous and stressful here. This is not our home ! Eternity is what matters
I needed the reminder myself! ❤️
Hugs
Thank you ❤️
And, "whom God loves, He chastens" as I ( having just returned from hospital 6/29 , with a splint on shattered radius) responded to grandson who asked, "Why does Grandma have so many accidents?"
Susie, this life is but a vapor compred to eternity in the bliss of God's love. That's where Cory is as a reward for ptotecting his family.
Susie and Security.
What an excellent answer!
I follow pastor Dr. Andrew Farley, who has a wonderful, purely Biblical grace message that surprises most Christians. Most of us don't realize we can rest in Jesus and stop trying to out-best everyone else with our good works. Check him out!
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Matthew 14:27
Amen and amen. God bless His messenger of salvation and hope. ❤️🙏❤️
Amen!
All the answers to those questions remain elusive this side of heaven. No way our finite minds can comprehend God’s ways. But, we do know that God is in control and has a plan to work things out for good for His glory. Our part is to trust, to be faithful and to obey.
Just like Job learned. 100%.
Ours is not to question why. We can't even create a rock out of nothing.
As difficult as it is to hear when we ask Why it is actually prideful and a god-like attitude. The right attitude is like Jobs…. is to say wHy NOT me…. Lord I deserve nothing. Humility.
,💯
God’s ways are not our ways nor his thoughts, our thoughts. Just because we cannot see how this current situation might end or what it may mean, doesn’t mean that God, who is sovereign over everything, does not. In our own lives we often see, much later, why something happened. And often, it is something difficult or unwanted. But God sees the end from the beginning and knows all. That is the difference in our lives. Either we trust him or we don’t. But He does not call us to stand on the sidelines and just watch. He expects us to pray and to work. Jeff is doing that, and we should all do it as well. Whether it is just talking to friends, or praying in private, God uses our prayers. Just like with Job…God told him to pray for his friends, even though God was right there, but JOB had to pray for his friends and THEN God would forgive them.
“And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.” Job 42: 8b-9.
Regarding Corey Comperatore, in one sense, he gave his life for his family. But it was his time, as no one goes before his time. God says, in Psalm 139, that "in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." The world is praying for his family and God will support them and sustain them in this new life that they now have to live.
I’m glad you believe God exists. My prayer is that you’ll to get to know him by reading his Word and develop a relationship with him. After that a question like this will never again enter your mind.
I've had many "good" people taken from me in my life. Family men, godly women, innocent children. Do I understand it? Absolutely not. This verse has helped me to remember not to put God in a box or make Him in my image ("Well, I certainly wouldn't have done that!) He's God. I'm not.
Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT
[8] “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. [9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Uhhh, He sacrificed his only son for all of humanity.....And if Jesus wasn't "a good man", then no one is (not that we can be, that being the whole point)
He gave us His Son who went to the Cross what more should HE give? This was a horrible act of free will by a great number of satanic players. This is not Gods fault. Shame on you for suggesting so. Maybe it’s the fault of Buddha or Gia?.
That is not what I suggested. I am a Christian woman and a lay pastor. As a flawed human, I’m allowed to have questions…and opinions.
Agreed, but we do NOT know the thoughts or ways of God as you yourself should know. It may be that God IS saddened by this death, but it was from evil, evil and sin are in this world and God did NOT want this but because of man's inability to keep God in front of him, sin and evil rules this world. We need as a nation to come BACK to God in REPENTENCE and seeking forgiveness for our sins individually and our sins as a nation. You know the famous passage, If we humble ourselves (in repentance and seeking forgiveness), God will hear and heal our land (yes paraphrasing since I don't have a bible handy atm) and this is what is lacking in our country right now. As Pastor Faircloth calls it -, LGBT BBQ, trans, homosexuality and such run rampant across this land, in addition to child trafficking, abortion (child sacrifice), God has lifted His arm of protection off this nation, off our so-called churches (lukewarm or non-existence). We need to turn back to God individually AND as a nation!!!!
LGBT BBQ. Now that’s a new one!
Well a pastor would not question the God I know. Frankly I don’t care if you are a lay pastor what’s your point in that. Like it’s not material to an opinion. It sounds like trying to bring up sexuality….again has nothing to do with opinions. I’m a CPA.
Not questioning God…just asking questions. Much like we did in the pandemic. And with vaccines. Is it God’s will that so many died because of the vax? Asking questions is never a bad thing.
Ofcourse. 🙏♥️
Should we not work on pulling the log out of our own eyes, sister. Chastise with love and grace as commanded in the Bible.
If any of you guys have a free hour or so to watch this teaching by Jack Hibbs, it is a real eye-opener. Jump to 14:30 if you want to skip the worship music. It brought me greater clarity and peace in Sunday
https://youtu.be/iKNSUPiJkQw?si=uZZT2XVxIfw6YQmb
Love him.
Amen sir
It is hard to make sense of these things.
God’s ways are higher than our ways. He knows the beginning and the ending.
Though many (including myself) use reason and understanding of His word to feel like we know, we can never fully understand and it doesn’t bring comfort to everyone.
So I will just say: I trust God knows & God is in control.
As humans, we simply cannot comprehend the ways of the Lord.
God tells us so.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
I once asked a holy man how could God allow a young man in his late 30's whom I knew personally to be gunned down by a terrorist group. His answer you don't know what the future for that man would hold whereas God knew that this was the best time to take him. We cannot, with a small and limited minds, be able to comprehend God
Maybe it was an act of God, and the sacrifice of a truly good man was necessary and critical in God’s plan to protect from the falsehoods that would be spread that this was all staged. I guarantee you his rewards in heaven will be great for his selflessness in sacrifice to protecting his family first and for his attempting to wake up every morning and live an obedient life to God as best he could. God doesn’t always save innocents, but that doesn’t mean he is unworthy of our reverence and love. It doesn’t mean he is cruel or unfeeling. I couldn’t save my own children from the consequences of their occasional bad choices, but I also couldn’t save them from the hurt and pain caused by others choosing sin and evil against them in spite of them doing and being good, and believe me I tried as hard as any mother should to save them from the evil acts of others. The fact that I could not protect them fully does not mean I’m not a loving mother or unsuccessful or incompetent at my job, and unworthy of their trust. We can’t force people to choose good, therein lies the true test of love, giving them freedom to choose on their own. But to truly give that freedom of choice it means sometimes one man will hurt another who is innocent. God doesn’t just protect us here in the flesh, he protects us into eternity - for those who love Him.
God can do anything, yes, but like any parent he has to take into account what is necessary for the sake of the whole family as a unit. When it serves a greater purpose he sometimes allows the pain and injustice towards those who don’t deserve it. (Think Job) And I am confident no suffering is felt by those who are not saved and his immense love and rewards are showered on them when they unite with Him in heaven.
You don’t have to comprehend his ways before you give Him your faith and trust, before you give him the benefit of the doubt. Just like children can’t possibly see all that a parent sees before they choose to obey them, because the child has not lived enough to learn and understand and see all that the parent knows. The parent sees so much further than the child is capable of. God sees a bigger picture than you or I are able to see. We have to trust that our “Father” has our best interests at heart and faithfully obey. And of course good parents do. Just because there are parents among us, who are sinful, and they violate that principle does not mean the principle isn’t true.
We all have free will. Since the evildoers are running the show right now, we allowed it to happen.. I don’t know why he was allowed to die either. I’m glad he was a born again Christian.
God will use the affliction of both of these men. He will and has been using Trump to expose the evils of this current administration and if he is allowed by God to make it through this election cycle to make changes for the good, apparently God isn’t done with Trump yet, and Corey’s to enrage the people to the point of making changes and motivating them to Do Something about what is happening to this Country. Corey is a righteous man and undeserving of this death, but only the Lord numbers our days. I would imagine this would have been his last day on earth no matter the situation. We don’t die before our time. I pray for his family as they grieve their loss of this good and godly man. I pray they find joy and peace that he is singing hallelujah with the angels at the feet of Jesus.
Many of our ur eyes are being opened and the truth is coming out. Praise be to the God of all creation!
I was reminded of George Washington when I learned of the assassination attempt. Good to know history and it will deepen your faith in God:
"While riding along the ranks looking to steady the men, Washington had two horses shot out from under him and four bullet holes shot through his coat." He was unharmed. Look it up.
By the way, I did not learn this in public school.
Wow
Betcha didn't. "Lies my teacher told me" is a good book. Which, incidentally,I discovered, on a colleague's desk, when covering his class.

Exactly my immediate thought! GOD protects His anointed. GOD is always working - no days, nights or weekends off. The thought of Him brings comfort and “the peace that surpasses all understanding “.
The Georgia Guidestones destruction awhile back revealed that He is in fact with us.
I rather wish I had read what was on them before they were destroyed. Or don't I?
I can tell you what they were about.
One-world government.
Population Control
Reproduction Control
Climate Control
Spirituality (Luciferian worship)
But their timeline was interrupted.
By…..wait for it!!!
Donald John Trump!
Still, it took four? shots from how close? God protected Trump and sadly also proved it wasn't a bb gun or accidentally roughed up by attacking SS ladies.
⚠️From the Daily Mail!! UNBELIEVABLE!
👉Roof gunman shot from had been 'flagged as security concern' by Secret Service
'The roof from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot at Donald Trump had reportedly been flagged as a potential security problem by the Secret Service before the assassination attempt, according to a report by NBC News.
Crooks climbed on to the roof of a building belonging to a glass research company which was 150 yards from where Trump was speaking on a stage in Butler, Pennsylvania. A source told NBC News:
Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,”
The Secret Service had indicated the building should be under the jursdiction of local law enforcement because it was outside the rally perimiter, according to the report'.
dailymail.com
Passing the buck. As usual, no one takes personal responsibility for anything these days. Which is exactly why things like this happen. It’s like little kids saying, ‘not me! He did it!’. Disgusting, and disappointing.
Yep, big time deflection of responsibility. And there was a ladder. How and when was it put there? Did the shooter bring it with him or was it placed there beforehand? How did he know to place it on that particular building whey wasn’t it noticed before? Why did a local policeman climb it, see the gunman, and scurry back down?
The ladder was there a head of time.
If true, how dumb are they? It ALL points to an inside job.
Source?
Very familiar with husband managing extension ladders. That takes strength and skill, imo. Crooks did not appear muscular.
hahaha true
Hmmm big surprise our diverse head of secret service (formerly of Pepsi) would not accept responsibility. 🙄
150yds is outside the perimeter??? And pretty much the only roof not occupied by a security marksman?? If that is so, the first thing that President Trump should do after his inauguration is a complete overhaul of USSS.
There's that Magic Term again --- perimeter. Apparently as fixed as the North Star ... constant, immovable and inviolate! Never to be expanded, or contracted, nor moved about in anyway.
Perimeter! It is also a religious word because if something lies outside one's 'perimeter' ... then one is absolved of all sin, all responsibility!
Totally amazing how that powerful word works. And I'm going to remember that word! Because the next time DeWife asks me why didn't I do this or that I can just say ... "Well! That job was outside my perimeter!"
For Catholics, the 13th of the month is quite meaningful. Our Lady of Fatima appeared on the 13th of the month for six months in a row. Saint Pope John Paul II was also shot on the 13th of a month and was protected. Heaven is definitely interceding on Trump's behalf.
Where’s the love button. And will the like button ever work again?
I had to use my 3rd computer to finally be able to use my "like" button.
Contacting Substack support was futile.
He turned his head, not tilted it.
Why would America be in flames?
Corey is beyond prayer, but his family could use it.
Not according to Catholics. We continually pray for the souls of the departed. Purgatory is part of our faith.
Orthodox too. Prayer is efficacious for all souls, whether they are experiencing a foretaste of heaven or hell until the final judgement.
That is why traditionally in foreign cultures, one said "may God have mercy on his/her soul" , though I do think that "rest in peace" has the same intention, though not as clear.
My mother's 106th birthday anniversary was Thurs. I prayed for her soul that day (and sent note to brothers and children suggesting same). Protestant here. Nothing to do with doctrine, just moved to offer prayer.
Members of the Latter Day Saints also pray for the souls of the departed but they don't tolerate queers and child molesters in their pulpits.
No one is deprived of God's mercy if repentant.
word
Having repented multiple times, I've never gotten a return receipt.
@Vonu you’re still breathing, aren’t you? 😉
I was given an autonomic nervous system to handle that.
"Why would America be in flames (if Trump was ended)"?
.... I think you're right, right-wing America would have done nothing. We're too soft and would stay at home.
The GOP would put up Nikki Zion Hally who would continue the hollowing out of any Christian influence in our govt. There will be no revolution...
As I’ve said,there will necessarily be some killing in our future. But to wake the sleeping or one eye open giant that is us, it will take something so egregious…
Killing president trump would do it. Prettysure
And news yesterday is that NIkki is now invited to the convention.
Trump's weakness (?) is that he actually has a heart when it comes to his competition having lost. He is extrembly competitive, but feels for the loser. It is a good trait, a leadership trait.
I am sorry that you take my words as being that of an adoring fan. 🤭Obviously you have not read my many posts of honest critiques about certain things he has done or said. 🤔
I am not a blind fan of anyone!!
I am. however, entitled to my observations which include RFKJR being a man of integrity and reason.
I base my assumption on Trump from when he was running on 'getting Hillary' for her illegal actions in 2016. After she LOST to him, his rhetoric turned nice, going as far as saying that she and Bill were good people.
While anyone in politics or business is an opportunist, I still stand by my observation. I think that he hates losing because of his competitive ego, but he is gracious to those who he has lost to.
In any case, what does it matter? If you think that Biden is better for your vision of the country, then, by all means, vote for him. It is your prerogative. I wouldn't insult you for it!
Also, with all due respect, saying that I do not have the ability to be a critical thinker is extremely insulting and offensive, and just as much as if I were to say you have TDS.
Nikki Zion Hally (sic) isn't a natural born citizen any more than Marco Rubio is.
You believe that Lincoln's treason should have been made the gold standard for political behavior?
don't know know? Haven't you been paying attention to the dumbocrats and the main stream propaganda? That the right-wing and Trump will be the end of democracy
Yuri, I've been praying (in our before dinner prayer, where two of us are gathered......) for several mos. "for those in positions of power or authority(knowing full well who put them there), that their hearts may turn to Him". So I guess I/we've been doing our homework.
Salena Zeto, a reporter, was at the rally with her daughter. She has been to many and noted to Glenn Beck this morning that in all the rallies she has seen, it was the first time he’d used graphics, and also the first time he’d turned his head to the side like that, to look at what he was speaking about, while keeping his body facing the audience.
If not for that, well…
Divine Intervention indeed.
I feel the same as Yuri regarding the flames. It may spontaneously combust or it may take a spark but the kindling is dry and just waiting.... You feel it and don't deny it.
Later Jay
Seems to me, the Lord said, "Not today, satan."
Glory be to God, forever and ever. Amen!
