Oops: An Update

Good morning! 

I've been remiss in failing to provide an update on MoBro (my brother from another mother).

Thanks to all our prayers (yours, too!) he recovered from the pneumonia in short order, and is doing nicely in an assisted living facility in Missouri.

I'm sure he would have nice things to say about all y'all, because I do. Thank you!

Election Updates

 There have been some encouraging breakthroughs. In addition to his speech on December 3^rd, President Trump also held a rally in Georgia. He was campaigning for the re-election of Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Purdue. Also, the legal teams continue to work hard, asking for legislative hearings in addition to filing court cases. This has resulted in some state governors and legislatures now realizing the level of fraud and engaging in the investigations. Despite being diagnosed with COVID-19 over the weekend, Rudy Giuliani is still leading the Trump campaign’s legal team and keeping the public up to date on the cases they are working on.

Media, of course, is still working hard to black out or discount every allegation of election fraud. One America News, Newsmax, and The Epoch Times are some of the sources taking the fraud seriously. We have to remember that what is important is not the mainstream media’s assessment of the situation–they cannot be trusted–but of factual evidence being presented, and what the Lord has said.

In addition to those things mentioned above, here are a few of the new breakthroughs:

 1.   In Georgia, a test was done of the Dominion voting machines that may prove that the algorithms of the machines were altered and can be altered in many different ways. In Ware County, GA, a Dominion machine tabulated votes for Biden at 113% of its true value, but a vote for President Trump was tabulated at 87% of its value. The same number of votes for each candidate went into the machine, but Biden came out ahead by 26%. This can explain complaints in other states where there was reporting of fractional votes, which are not possible. 1 vote is 1 vote, not 1.13 of a vote or an .87 of a vote. This could mean that counts in all 29 states using Dominion machines are in jeopardy.

2.  In Arizona, it appears that an audit has discovered up to 300,000 ballots with issues. Some were votes by deceased individuals. There were double votes counted where both mail-in and in-person voting occurred by the same persons. Also, thousands of individuals voted in Arizona who no longer live in the state. These numbers alone could affect the result of the presidential election in Arizona. Credible gaps in the chain of custody from drop-off ballot boxes to counting centers have also been uncovered.

3.  It has been found that the Michigan Secretary of State granted access to voter information to an as-yet-unnamed activist group, though state law prohibits this for obvious reasons. Data experts have also identified more than 500,000 potentially fraudulent ballots there.

4.  In Wisconsin, it has come to light that there is a legal requirement to present voter identification, which was violated due to the absentee-ballot situation. There appears to be nothing in the state constitution that allows for the dismissal of this identification requirement.

5.  U. S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has given Pennsylvania until today, December 8^th, to file briefs in response to Republican’s allegations of fraud and a request to overturn the results of the election in that state. The Court is expected to make a decision on that appeal today. December 8 is considered the “safe harbor” deadline. That is the date determined to allow enough time for a peaceful transition of power from one presidency to the next. Time is of the essence in this case.

There is so much more, but these are some of the most provable situations.

“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation. Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish, that they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.’” (Psalm 83:1-4a, 5, and 17-18; NKJV)

 Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:

• Worship the Lord over the victories He has given us.
• Ask for the judgments of God to fall on all of the enemy’s activities, seen and unseen, in this election.
• Continue to call forth truth.
• Pray for the President to receive physical and emotional strength. Pray that he will humble himself before the Lord, and seek Him with his whole heart.
• Continue to pray for the legal teams working to prevent a fraudulent and illegal election from becoming our reality. Pray for strength, provision and the speedy recovery of all needed information.
• Bless the few media sources that are being bold enough to state the facts in this situation. Pray for the public to be able to come out from under the falsehoods most media sources are feeding them.
• Intercede for all of the governors, state legislators, secretaries of state, auditors, and courts involved in this complicated process in WI, MI, PA, GA, AZ, NV, and NM. Be encouraged; but do not stop.

Wifely Update: Prayer Works

On January 20th, my wife suffered two strokes. She immediately lost the ability to read, or even recognize words and letters. Her short-term memory was also affected.

We prayed. Friends prayed. Pastor and church family prayed. All y'all prayed.
She's been assessed by multiple doctors and specialists, wherein a recurring theme has developed.
"Remarkable progress" was used by every single physician, nurse, AN-P, and MA.

They're responding as men and women of science. But they didn't figure our God into their calculations.


This past Tuesday, she went back to work, and is doing pretty well. There's still some recovery ahead, but she begins working full-time tomorrow.

Praise to our Father God may now commence. :)

God's Word for Friday, 7/19/19

Praise report first: the drywall repairs are 99% complete, and surfaces prepped for painting. Happy dance shall ensue. :)
*******************

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 41:10 KJV

Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.

Isaiah 41:10 MSG

Another Problem Solved

No more third shift. Only three nights per week, but when I started, the days were back to back. Lately, they've been of the "Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday" variety. Since that turns my schedule upside down, I didn't think it was ideal for my part-time job to dominate 5 and 6 days of the week.

My request for an interdepartmental transfer was approved. I'm moving from night-time freight/stocking to daytime front end (i.e., cashier and customer service desk).

Mornings, in fact.

God is good, and I am a happy camper.

Thanksgiving (Yes, in August)

I've not written about this until now, but my mom's heart has been bad for quite some time. On the cardiologists' 0.0-to-3.0 scale (3.0 being a fully-functioning, healthy heart), she was a 0.6.

Yeah, that bad.

Three days ago - after a seemingly endless round of tests - they gave her a new aortic valve, and she's on her way home tonight!

She's doing that good, already.  :)

We're all breathing sighs of relief ... and all I can say is, God is good!

Pastor Abedini Writes Thank-You Letter From Torturous Prison

Saeed Abedini

American pastor Saeed Abedini’s family in Tehran was able to visit him again earlier this week.

Abedini sent his wife, Naghmeh, this letter to be shared with supporters who gathered recently, on the Christian day of Pentecost, to pray for him.

The 33-year-old U.S. citizen wrote:

When the Day of the Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting (Acts 2:1-2).

One special day, one heart, one place—all of these come together, to emphasize one thing, the importance of unity.

I heard that the persecution, my arrest and imprisonment has united churches from different denominations, from different cities and countries, that would never come together because of their differences. That the churches have united together in prayer to put one request (my freedom) on one day (Pentecost) before God.

You don’t know how happy I was in the Lord and rejoiced knowing that in my chains the body of Christ has chained together and is brought to action and prayer.

When someone’s life like mine is in danger, we realize how different we are in our opinions (although some of those differences might be correct), but that we are still united in one goal of praying for my freedom.

I am thankful for that. It is though your prayers and the Grace of God that the Lord is using me here in my chains. Many have been freed from the chains of Satan here and have been saved and added to the Church.

Now, how beautiful it will be if the Church would be united and fight for the salvation of the world whose life is in danger and who are bound in chains of Satan and to fight for the salvation of the world, a world that is heading to the way of destruction. With the same passion and the same way that you are praying and fighting for my freedom, we need to be praying and fighting for the salvation of the world.

When the Church is united (with one heart, in one place, on one day) that is when the joy and strength of God (Holy Spirit) wants to come in that unity and pour out and the Lord be exalted. Although this unity is the result of direct involvement of the Holy Spirit that is able to bring many different characteristics to make one.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me (Acts 1:8).

And only when the Holy Spirit comes can you get strength. Without the strength of God it is impossible to do the will of God. And when we receive strength, then we can be transformed. And when we are transformed, that is when the Church is transformed as well. And when the Church is transformed, then the world will be freed from the chains of sin and will be saved and transformed. When we are all united and chained together, united in our hearts, in one place in one day, and we pray, then we will receive the power from on High and will receive strength and the world will be changed and will be freed from the chains of bondage and will be saved. The same way that I will also be freed from my chains though prayer and strength of the Grace of God.

So dear sisters and brothers let us be united in prayer for freedom and salvation of the world. Let us be united so that the Holy Spirit might fall on us and the Glory of God would be revealed through us and through the church.

Welcome to the chains that have bound me and have bound us together. Happy Pentecost.

God Said and it was.

Chains were broken.

Our sins were forgiven

I am free
You are free
We all have freedom

With many thanks for your continued and faithful prayers.

Servant of our Lord in chains for Jesus Christ,
Saeed
