Use Secret Weapons To Cause Heart Attacks And Brain Aneurysms - By Robert L.
Kinney III for All News Pipeline – July 5th 2023 - Some might have
heard the phrase, “men could not live with one another if there were not mutual
confidence that they were being truthful to one another.” The phrase could be
interpreted to imply that division; chaos, suffering, and potential death are
the result of lying and the use of misleading information, hoaxes, and other
anti-truth actions. The phrase should be applicable to all spheres of influence
or relationships; for example, husband and wife would have significant
difficulties if one of the founding principles of their marriage was that they
could lie to one another. Throughout history many husbands and wives have
experienced severe psychological harm as a result of the other’s dishonesty. https://allnewspipeline.com/Americas_Deep_Dark_Secrets_Exposed.php

ZERO HEDGE - Chris Hedges: they lied
about Vietnam. They Lied About Afghanistan. They Lied About Iraq. And They Are
Lying About Ukraine. - BY TYLER DURDEN - TUESDAY, JUL 04, 2023 - 10:45 PM - Authored
by Chris Hedges via Scheerpost.com - The U.S. public has been conned, once
again, into pouring billions into another endless war... The playbook the pimps of war use to lure us into one military fiasco
after another, including Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now
Ukraine, does not change. Freedom and democracy are threatened. Evil must be
vanquished. Human rights must be protected. The fate of Europe and NATO, along
with a “rules based international order” is at stake. Victory is assured. The
results are also the same. The justifications and narratives are exposed as
lies. The cheery prognosis is false. Those on whose behalf we are supposedly
fighting are as venal as those we are fighting against. (Comment: During the
start of the Vietnam conflict the dregs of war manufactured the Gulf of Tonkin
lie to start the war. In August 1964, the U.S. entered the Vietnam War based on
reports of an unprovoked attack in the Gulf of Tonkin — which the president Democrat
Lyndon Johnson knew were false. In August 1964, the American destroyer USS
Maddox was stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of North Vietnam. That
month, this ship was involved in two events collectively referred to as the
Gulf of Tonkin incident, which changed the course of modern history in ways
that reverberate to this day. On August 2, it was attacked by North Vietnamese
torpedo boats. And then, two days later, on August 4, the Johnson
administration claimed that it had been attacked again. After the second
attack, the U.S. Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution almost
unanimously, allowing the federal government to “take all necessary measures”
to protect U.S. forces in Vietnam. It was tantamount to a declaration of war,
but it was based on a lie. After decades of public skepticism and government
secrecy, the truth finally came out: In the early 2000s, nearly 200 documents
were declassified and released by the National Security Agency (NSA). They
showed that there was no attack on August 4. U.S. officials had distorted the
truth about the Gulf of Tonkin incident for their own gains — and perhaps for
Johnson’s own political prospects. It was war based on a lie. Gee imagine
that!) https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chris-hedges-they-lied-about-afghanistan-they-lied-about-iraq-and-they-are-lying-about

In case you have been caught up in
sin these are words of warning from Galatians 5:19-21, “The acts of the flesh
are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and
witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,
dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you,
as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of
God.” Pastor Boyd
The Many Supernatural Events of the
Rapture
By Joseph Chambers
Published on: March 16, 2017
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
July 5th 2023
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:51-13).
It is impossible to separate the
power of the Holy Ghost from the Rapture and resurrection of the saints. If the
resurrection of Jesus Christ was clearly the divine function of His Spirit,
then our resurrection is even more the sovereign work of the same Holy Spirit.
The apostle Paul said it plainly, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up
Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall
also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Romans
8:11).
This verse is not only speaking of
His resurrection but also our present resurrected life with a clear secondary
meaning in relation to our coming resurrection. You cannot separate our present
Spirit anointed life from our future Rapture and resurrection. It is all the work
of His Holy Ghost in us, shedding forth the power of His resurrection. If you
do not have that power working in you now, you cannot expect to receive some
kind of infusion when the Son of God splits the sky.
This future demonstration of this
office of the Holy Ghost is breathtaking. The powers and supernatural
activities of this event will expand the greatest display ever to occur at one
moment of time since creation. In fact, I think it will be so similar to
creation that we can learn much from that historical moment.
The account of Moses in Genesis is a
beautiful picture of sheer Holy Ghost creative power. When God the Father chose
to create this earth, the Son of God was the Word and the Holy Ghost was His
right arm.
“And God said” was a statement which
embodied the action of His eternal Son, who He called the “Word.” The Gospel of
John begins with this account, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made”
(John 1:1-3).
But we must give His eternal Spirit
His rightful place, also. Even before Jesus (the Word) spoke the first
statement of creation, the Scripture stated, “And the earth was without form,
and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2). I love that statement, “And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
The triune God was creating this
universe and each member of the Godhead was powerfully involved. The Father
made the choice, the Son spoke the Word, and the Spirit of the Father and the
Son acted in supernatural powers and this cosmos “was created.” Every sphere of
life in this entire created universe is throbbing with His spark of life since
that moment 6,000 years ago. If His presence was withdrawn for one minute,
every expression of living cells, atoms, and molecules would fold in instant
death. All life is the living manifestation of the whisper of life
by His mighty Spirit.
Creation was an incredible moment of
mighty acts of power. Our bodies are a living testimony of this power, as is
all of creation. Every creature after his kind was created and Adam named them
by their characteristics. Scientists baffle themselves in their study of life
when they refuse to believe the account of Genesis. I have been reading a book
titled, The Body Electric. This capable doctor and surgeon speaks glowingly of
the body’s ability to heal itself and has proven that our body is not just a
mechanical machine.
His documentation of a current, which
he cannot understand, acting in the human body amazed him. All I could think
was how much he needs to meet this Creator I know, and then he could know. The
mystery of life is everywhere and God’s Spirit (the Holy Ghost) is the ordained
source of every speck of that life. Nothing exists apart from our great God.
The Holy Spirit fulfills this office
of all life and resurrection as the Spirit of Jesus Christ. All the glory is
given to Christ when the Scripture says, “In him was life; and the life was the
light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended
it not” (John 1: 4-5).
The glory goes to our Lord Jesus
Christ who by His Spirit gives physical life to all creation, even the unsaved.
“…For he maketh his sun to rise on
the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust”
(Matthew 5:45).
Thank God that He not only gives us
natural life and a natural world where His evidence is everywhere, but to the
souls that surrender to His saving blood, He gives much, much more. It is
impossible to be “born again” without the convicting office of the Holy Ghost
and His renewing and sealing of our hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ. He renews
our spirit and we are quickened to life in His likeness. We become “new
creatures.”
“Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
“After this I looked, and, behold, a
door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of
a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee
things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat
was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow
round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald” (Revelation 4:1-3).
The Rapture and the Resurrection
No wonder the Holy Ghost is called
“The Seven Spirits of God.” Just as in the Trinity we do not dare speak of
three different Gods, so in the person of the Holy Ghost we do not speak of
seven separate and different Spirits. The Holy Ghost is one, but His
expressions and offices are set forth in the completed expression of “seven.”
He is the Spirit of life and was active with Jesus Christ in His resurrection.
He is to us the Spirit of life and there is no resurrection f His anointed
powers.
Jesus Christ could not be held in
death because there was no sin to grant powers of death to His enemy, Satan. If
His resurrection was aided by the Holy Ghost even though He was without sin,
ours is totally dependent upon the Holy Ghost because of the death which works
in our sin nature. But our Lord by His blood has defeated death as our
substitute and if we are cleansed by that blood then death has lost its sway.
“O wretched man that I am! Who shall
deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our
Lord” (Romans 7:24-25a).
Our resurrection and the Rapture is
guaranteed by His New Testament covenant with us. To the Corinthians He said,
“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we
would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of
life. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath
given unto us the earnest of the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 5:4-5).
The Holy Ghost anointing upon our
life is our “insurance policy” or “earnest” (guarantee). Multitudes of empty
church people are going to be miserably disappointed after the rapture. You
have no assurance of this glorious hope of the rapture if you have no fire of
the Holy Ghost in your soul.
His living and anointed presence
working in your life is your certainty of readiness. It is not an experience we
need but a total surrender to His will and leading. Our song must become,
“Where He leads me, I will follow.”
The Sheer Display of Holy Ghost Power
No one can possibly doubt the
supernatural power of the Holy Ghost. The Bible is a catalog of incredible acts
of divine intervention, expression, and creation. From the parting of the Red
Sea, where a host of tens of thousands of escaping Hebrews fled before the
Pharaoh’s army, to the event of three Hebrew boys that were unscathed by a
fiery furnace, miracles are the common facts. Elijah was supernaturally
transported from earth to Heaven, Lazarus was called out of a tomb after his
body was already decaying, and Blind Bartimaeus received his sight by a simple
command. All of these miracles and a multitude more fill the pages of God’s
Holy Bible. The Spirit of God was the Father’s and the Son’s manifestation of
the Godhead’s every supernatural act.
This future resurrection the Rapture
will be the Church’s grand finale of supernatural intervention.
Nothing since creation comes close to
revealing so much power in one moment of time. Every grave of every dead saint
from all history [except Enoch, Elijah, Moses, and the saints that arose at His
resurrection (Matthew 27:51-53)] will be opened as a testimony to his or her
escape. Their dead bodies will be changed from the dust of death and in some
cases gathered from seas or the winds to become glorified specimens of eternal
lives. Millions of living saints will step out of their suits and dresses into
transformed specimens of the same eternal glory.
There is no such thing as a secret
Rapture. There is no way such a display of Holy Ghost power can escape the
attention of this world. Thousands of cars in the developed world or riding
carts in the undeveloped world will suddenly be missing their drivers.
Telephone lines will be jammed with frantic calls from hysterical husbands,
wives, parents, children, etc. to make missing person reports.
Big name politicians, who discover
that their old grandmother that begged them to serve Jesus has disappeared,
will drop to the floor of some government chamber unable to stand. The news
will suddenly be filled with liberal ministers explaining the disappearance
with deceiving words to cover their broken theology. The world will never be
the same after that day. There will be millions that repent and prepare that
day for what they missed.
“Surely the Lord God will do nothing,
but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
The lion hath roared, who will not
fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and
in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the
mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and
the oppressed in the midst thereof” (Amos 3:7-9).
The Event Itself Is Supernatural in
Every Detail
The apostle Paul declared this by
describing the details:
“For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump
of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another
with these words.” (I Thessalonians 4:16-18).
Our Father does not send His greatest
archangel. But the Son Himself will descend into the mid-air. It’s a little thing
with God but it’s a transcending matter to the church. Satan is the “prince of
the power of the air.” This evil personage of fallen glory has a kingdom of
millions of fallen angels organized for warfare. They inhabit the air above us
and even the saints with glorified bodies are no match for their skills.
Michael, one of the greatest of
angelic beings, refused to rebuke Satan in his own power but rested in the
victory of the Lord. Jude, the brother of Jesus, stated, “Yet Michael the
archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke
thee” (Jude 1:9).
Our victory now and forever is Jesus
Christ, the Lamb of God.
So Jesus descends into mid-air above
us. Nothing about this event is natural. Jesus had but to speak and the storm
on the Sea of Galilee was quieted. Demons (fallen angels) begged for mercy at
His feet. Death is already a vanquished foe, so His descent to rapture His
Bride in waiting is but the first transcending act of His coming kingdom.
The Son of God shouts as He descends.
Why does the Bible confirm that He shouts as He returns into mid-air? Consider
that He shouts just to dislodge the army of the fallen angels or disorient them
and confuse their battle plans. Of course, He shouts to wake the dead for He is
the Word and when He speaks, there is creation in His voice.
This shout will shake the universe
and start the entire matter of resurrection. Every grave of every saint will
hear that shout and the earth will literally cast out the dead. This is His
earth and He created every atom of life. When He shouts, nothing in this
universe will resist. His shout is a triumph over every foe.
Nothing could possibly be hated more
by Satan than to see the Church escape his accusations. The saints have always
been “Satan’s axis of enemies.” He hates the saints that defy his effort to
lead them to hell.
“This know also, that in the last
days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3: 1-5).
The Mortal Will Put on Immortality
Of all the Holy Ghost powers
manifested, nothing is more glorious than our change from the mortal to the
immortal. Let’s allow the apostle Paul to describe this moment in our future:
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh
and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible
shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, ‘Death is swallowed
up in victory’” (1 Corinthians 15:50-54) .
That passage reveals the
indescribable facts of our coming change. Our bodies are destined to put on a
“house not made with hands” (2 Corinthians 5:1).
Everything about our new house/body
will be supernaturally constructed. Flesh and blood born of woman is a marvel
and was originally created to live forever with the aid of the Tree of Life.
This new body will replace the old so we can share in His resurrection likeness
for eternity.
Consider our body that is made of
billions of cells constantly dying and being renewed, replaced with new eternal
ones. This body is a living organism created to constantly replace itself by
its built-in creative powers. It is substantiated by a kind of supernatural
life which proceeds from the Spirit of Life. We are already a marvel but this
is only a taste of the new body. Every cell will be changed in a moment.
The present corruptible body will be
totally changed to an incorruptible body by the quickening of the Holy Ghost.
The mortal will put on immortality and this change will be instantaneous. When
Jesus descends into the mid-air and shouts the command, an explosion of
resurrection will master the darkness of death. The saint, dead or alive, will
be infused with this sheer supernatural power to step out of flesh and blood
and step into flesh and spirit.
Can you imagine a stubborn husband
that rejected his wife’s gentle witness and godly life sitting beside her when
this change occurs? A beautiful godly woman will suddenly become a glorified
radiant saint. That man will never have another comfortable day unless he is
enabled to fall on his face in repentance and prepare to die at the hand of the
Antichrist crowd. Encounters of this nature between the resurrected and the
“left behind” crowd will be multiplied millions of times.
“Death will be swallowed up in
victory” right before a stunned world and this world will never be the same
again. It will produce conviction and consternation far beyond any past human
event of devastation and judgment.
Graves Opened and Saints Appearing
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was
God’s “first fruits” of the coming resurrection of the dead in Christ. It was
the type or example of how the future event will be manifest. The picture that
Matthew gave us will be replayed and multiplied by millions. It will be sheer
Holy Ghost power great enough to shake the cosmos out of its complacency of
sin. I promise you that sin will never have the same satisfaction after this
coming hour.
Matthew alone described the first
fruits resurrection of dead saints. He stated, “And, behold, the veil of the
temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake,
and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many” (Matthew 27: 51-53). This is God’s
pattern.
Conclusion
Never has an event of biblical
fulfillment exceeded the transcending moment of the resurrection and the
Rapture. There are other wonderful truths that will also be grand in their
fulfillment but this beginning of the end exceeds them all. The resurrection
and the Rapture are like the opening of a long and glorious drama with each day
revealing more and more of the accomplishment of His cross and redemption plan.
This world as we know it cannot
continue much longer. Even nature is groaning for redemption and the dead will
be removed from its bowels of sorrow. The spiritual war that is being raged by
Satan and his host is especially directed to defeat this prophesied event.
Satan will fail and we will escape before his last acts of blasphemy.
