Why is it important that as Christians we have discussions (even intense ones) with one another about God, the Bible, truth, and so forth?
The Bible says concerning Paul:
But when divers [some] were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing* daily in the school of one Tyrannus (Acts 19:9, KJV)
* disputing: (“getting a conclusion across”) occurs 13 times in the NT, usually of believers exercising “dialectical reasoning.” This is the process of giving and receiving information with someone to reach deeper understanding – a “going back-and-forth” of thoughts and ideas so people can better know the Lord (His word, will). Doing this is perhaps the most telling characteristic of the growing Christian! (HELPS Word-studies, Biblehub.com) (Strongs 1256 /dialégomai)
Please read the following blog by Andrew Torba (Gab CEO). He is a strong, loving, and truth-speaking Christian who needs our prayers, as you will see when you read this. ADL stands for Anti-Defamation League.
The ADL Fuels Hatred of Jews By Attacking Free Speech – Gab News
Gab it seems is under particular persecution by big tech. I personally believe it is because Andrew Torba, Gab’s founder, is a strong Christian who does not hide his faith but glorifies Christ openly. Sadly Governor Abbot (Texas) recently accused Gab of being anti-semitic (false!) and deleted the Texas government’s Gab account. Andrew and those who work with him need our prayers. They are standing alone and survive on income from paid users (with low monthly membership fees) and also on income from donations. May God bless them richly! A testimony by Andrew Tobar
Here is a link to a series of posts on the Local Church Discussions forum. The posts are about a problem between Anaheim LSM headquarters’ leaders (who are doing damage control) and an OKC leader Colley Joseph (who has done/is apparently doing damage to the LC reputation). The topic is the handling of an LC couple, an elder and his wife, that are now involved in a public court case): What’s Going On in OKC?
Very interesting blog by Andrew Torba (Gab founder). Let’s pray about this tomorrow!
https://news.gab.com/2021/02/25/why-the-oligarchs-fear-christianity/
This is a very sobering blog from the founder of Gab. Take note of the last three words of the article. He uses these frequently. Take time to follow the links in the article and see that this is not some kind of conspiracy “theory.” We need to be praying more and more for the church to wake up and stand in the gap to pray for humanity to know the grace which is brought at the revelation of Jesus Christ!
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 1:13).
Transhumanism and The Spiritual Battle For Humanity – Gab News
Can’t help myself. I couldn’t help but notice the following. Tell me that we are not in a war with the powers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places:
The counterfeit:
(I copied this from OAN News)–
Joe Biden declares if we “put trust and faith in our government” we might just get our freedoms back by the Fourth of July, as he says only “national unity” will end the coronavirus pandemic and bring a return to normal life.
Truth:
God’s Word declares if we “put trust and faith in Christ” we will be set free from bondage to the devil as only “repentance and unity in the body of Christ” will give praying Christians victory over the enemy to end the coronavirus pandemic [and many more things] and bring a return to normal life (life in Christ as God intended!).
Some brief notes about our prayer requests on March 5th:
Prayed for democrat congress people to defect from a united party vote on policies that are against God and against human freedom such as abortion (murder), constitutionally guaranteed freedoms (freedom of religion, freedom of speech, right to bear arms). Bound the unity of the left in unrighteousness.
Prayed for believers who support such policies to come under conviction by the Holy Spirit.
Prayed for a big wave of specific repentance in the church concerning the rightful king being on the throne in each believer’s life.
Bound the working of the devil in all these matters and loosed the Spirit to turn people to the light.
Bound the desire for power that causes compromise of truth … wherever such is found in government and in the church! Prayed that Christians will take truth stands without fear and that pastors not falter like Balaam did. Bound those who like him, love the wages of unrighteousness (Rev.)
Prayed for Simone Gold who was arrested by 20 armed police who knocked down her door and arrested her for Jan. 6 capitol breach (falsely).
Bound the devil at work regarding big tech and social media by using the people that run these organizations to go after God-fearing people and messages.
Prayed that all the enemy’s schemes will be confused and defeated.
This is something specific we need to pray about when we meet Saturday (among many other things!). God is faithful as we continue to cry unto Him day and night for His help.
Spread of CCP Virus Is ‘Mass Murder’: China Expert Gordon Chang (theepochtimes.com)
I couldn’t find this article anywhere except on Epoch Times. Some of their articles can’t be seen without a subscription. If this is one of those, I’m sorry about that. I can’t tell without jumping through some hoops. (I have a subscription.) So, if you can’t see this on Epoch Times website you can either get a subscription (not a bad idea considering they are struggling since YouTube demonitized them and they are under attack as a conservative news source, which is in my opinion one of the best) or you can wait to see if another article about what Chang said at the 2021 CPAC (underway now) comes out on another site. The genetic human experimentation on humans by China is terrible and reminds me of the medical experimentation that took place under Hitler.

Prayer on 2/13
Lots of good binding and loosing prayer today!
We closed with these words from a wonderful hymn:
Conquering now and still to conquer, rideth a King in His might;
Leading the host of all the faithful into the midst of the fight;
See them with courage advancing, clad in their brilliant array,
Shouting the Name of their Leader, hear them exultingly say:Refrain:
Not to the strong is the battle, not to the swift is the race,
Yet to the true and the faithful vict’ry is promised thro’ grace.Conquering now and still to conquer, who is this wonderful King?
Whence are the armies which He leadeth, while of His glory they sing?
He is our Lord and Redeemer, Savior and Monarch divine;
They are the stars that forever bright in His kingdom shall shine.Conquering now and still to conquer, Jesus, Thou Ruler of all,
Thrones and their scepters all shall perish, crowns and their splendor shall fall,
Yet shall the armies Thou leadest, faithful and true to the last,
Find in Thy kingdom eternal rest, when their warfare is past.Note: The following was posted by mistake on 2/11 under the wrong topic so I moved it here on 2/17
Re: A special on Oann with Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon at 8 pm on Thursday 2/11/2021. I watched it and am waiting for video to be put out. Mike explains how the evidence they have will be presented in courts (cases already underway) and he believes it will make it to the Supreme Court. Let’s pray that it does. They show actual documents proving the foreign interference in the election; Mike explains how there were people (good guys) in place who knew this was underway and began tracking it with special gov. software by Nov 1st. They caught it all in 29 states. Mike said there are 3 CIA whistleblowers who will not be named until the actual trials. (This is all to the best of my memory.) If for no other reason, this info. needs to get out for stopping interference in the next election. Some of the info. is stunning. We need to keep praying for the Supreme Court judges that they will come through at the right time and catch all the crooks. Mike believes the long drawn out process had been necessary to surface the truth about the whole situation.
There are so many new social media things it gets confusing! Right now I am on:
Gab (like Parler, Twitter)
Telegram (like apple texting, Messenger),
MeWe, and
Rumble (like Youtube).
I am planning my departure from Facebook. I’ve already left Twitter. I read about a new internet browser today called TheNewInternet that may work to get away from microsoft’s Edge and from Google Chrome which are starting to interfere in searches they don’t like by warning of security risks.
Good prayer today!
Verses to remember:
He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving (Exodus 14:25). The Egyptians recognized this as God fighting for the Israelites.
Psa. 2:
We used these to pray about the “impeachment” this week:
[Psa 2:1-12 NKJV]
1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, [saying],
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You [are] My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give [You] The nations [for] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish [in] the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all those who put their trust in Him.
Quick after notes of some things we prayed about: Prayed and thanked for Marjorie Greene. Prayed for Marcy Kaptur to stand strong for her constituents and not the far left agenda of her party. Prayed there will be more like her. Prayed for the church and the government that God will purge out all evil. Prayed for people to be courageous and strong, especially believers. Prayed for the body of Christ, each member to stand up and follow King Jesus! We bound China, the Biden-China connection, Hunter-Biden “makeover” with his book, and executive orders! Prayed God would jam the wheels of the executive order chariots so that they would go nowhere! Prayed for L (a friend of someone) who has left the Dems and is pro Maga, but hasn’t found Jesus yet, though she has considered Jesus … Prayed for all of Congress that the Spirit of God would brood over each one and cause them to question their beliefs and change their thinking–over-rule the election outcome (in Congress and Senate) by changing elected officials from the inside out. Prayed that election integrity will stay front and center.
Others may want to add.
