She warns about the dangers of biological warfare and the evil plans of destruction by wicked people.

The following is a broadcast recorded live with Patricia Evans from Shining Light 7 Ministries. May the Lord bless your ears to hear and your heart to receive as you listen to God's holy word. There is a famous quote. He said, The time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, You are mad, and you are not like us. Anthony's words seem to parallel several prophetic scriptures in Deuteronomy, which were partially fulfilled in their day, but yet will come to complete fulfillment in a future time. Deuteronomy chapter 28, verse 28 tells us, The Lord will smite you with madness and blindness and dismay of mind and heart, and you shall grope at noonday as the blind grope in darkness. You shall not prosper in your ways, and you shall only be oppressed and robbed continually, and there will be no one to save you. Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 33 declares, a nation which you have not known shall eat up the fruit of your land and all of your labors and you shall only be oppressed and crushed continually so that you shall be driven mad by the sights which your eyes shall see. It seems today that we are seeing these things coming to pass in certain ways with the invasion of other nations endeavoring to take over many aspects of the freedoms that America has known and been known for. We live in a time in this year of 2020 in which it seems that the prophetic word about people going insane or mad is coming to pass right before our very eyes. We live in a day and an hour in these United States of America where we are seeing the attempt to undo what we have loved and cherished as patriotic citizens, and that is the freedom of rights that our nation is known for, and the reason for so many people from other countries who have immigrated to this land legally, as did my grandparents from Italy and Ireland many, many years ago. We are seeing and witnessing in the year of 2020 the undoing of law and order, the disrespect for genuine and legitimate authority, the hatred and insolence for our police, and the call to undo the necessity of police enforcement, and yes, fathom this, the call to do away with prisons in these United States of America. The unrest in some of these states in our union is being allowed by the burning of police precincts and police vehicles, the burning and destruction of businesses and homes, and the terrorizing and purposeful killing of innocent people and bystanders, all in the name of peaceful protesting? There is even an evil, illegal underground army in our nation who have been assigned an insidious contract on killing police and law enforcement personnel. There has been what many are calling the COVID-19 virus crisis as being a forerunner of biological warfare, and that is only an experiment. it is said to see how fast the disease might spread and infect whole populations. There are rogue groups located everywhere around the world who feel absolutely no responsibility for the welfare of people in any part of this earth who will now begin to experiment with deadly pathogens on whole populations. The world is presently in a crisis state, and governments around the world have gained control through fear and lockdown mandates over the COVID virus. People are homeless on the street and hungry because they've lost their jobs and homes. Authorities have shut down businesses, and some states in the United States arrest people for not wearing a mask. but let murderers, criminals, and felons out of prison because they might contract the virus by being contained within the prison walls. Many people in our nation spin with confusion as to the bewilderment of why such awful injustices are allowed to take place in our beautiful nation, land of the free and home of the brave. As was stated previously, there is an underground army in the United States that has been formed by the rich elite in this nation and supported also by other wealthy elitists in other countries for the purpose of bringing America down with the intent of a takeover agenda of making her a socialist or communistic nation. this is the bottom line for what we see in this whole rotten plan of chaos burning of businesses, homes, murder and biological warfare that we are now experiencing in our country at this present time madness seems to incite more madness and insanity all people need is a cause which is generated by an underground wealthy elite madmen and women who hide behind the cloak of innocence and pay the murderers and felons that they have let out of prisons and also the dangerous foolhardy who have no apparent fear or foresight of their deadly actions as they follow the lead of the narrative of these sick minded people in Isaiah chapter 5 verse 20 the prophet declared woe to those who call evil good and good evil and put darkness for light and light for darkness who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent and shrewd in their own sight And also, verse 23, who justify and acquit the guilty for a bribe, but take away the rights of the innocent and righteous from them. A woe is pronounced in the word of God as an exclamation expressing warning, grief, pain, deep sorrow, an affliction to the evil and wicked conniving of people who think they can outsmart the great creator God. Wicked people who are devising evil plans of destruction will be met one day by their almighty maker and will be called to give account of their unjust actions and deeds in the day of their great judgment. Jesus pronounced a woe on two cities in the gospel of Matthew and Luke. And these woes were aimed at the evil lawyers, the unrighteous scribes and Pharisees who were devising their evil plan to kill him, and also on Judas Iscariot who betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver and a kiss. Judas was a betrayer. Judas was a lover of money. We have many betrayers sitting in the churches today and also standing behind the pulpits who profess to be a follower of Jesus Christ, but in fact are hypocrites and wolves in disguise whose hearts and souls have never been renewed by the cleansing power of the living God. Ephesians 5 verse 23 tells us Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her so that he might sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing of the water of the word that he might present the church to himself in glorious splendor without spot and wrinkle or any such thing that she might be holy and faultless. We have many Judases who are betrayers sitting in the seats of government, who are called judges and those who hold government offices in every state of this United States of America, who have taken an oath to uphold the integrity of the Constitution and that of their position, whether it be the President of the United States or a governor, a mayor, city official a policeman sheriff or justice of the peace They have promised an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America which when cited and completed ends with so help me God It must be noted in many states and branches of government they've managed to remove, so help me God, from their promise or oath to uphold the law in their position they are serving in that seat of government. the phrase so help me God is the affirmation to serve with honesty and integrity and as a solemn commitment but betrayers give themselves away by refusing to make this commitment to the people and before God Almighty furthermore and most importantly you must understand as a believer in Jesus Christ, along with this bottom line for betrayers, endeavoring to destroy and bring America down is greed, but mostly it is the hatred for the righteous things of God. This is saying that within the realm of a communistic government, Christianity is eradicated and forbidden. Christians who live in nations where governments are socialistic or communistic experience the abolishment of Christianity and even imprisonment or putting to death the believers in Jesus Christ. And this is Satan's biggest plan in using these wicked people in this great conquest or coup, just as he tried when he endeavored to overthrow the great and mighty eternal God and was cast out of heaven. Satan is busy behind the scene in any chaos in the world as he works through evil-minded people who scheme and endeavor to put to death the most wonderful, greatest precious masterpiece God has ever created and that is humankind whether it be through instigated chaos or man-made viruses and pandemics, bio-warfare or wars. People with evil minds and hateful greedy intentions are called the enemies of God. In the Old Testament when Israel disobeyed God and forsook him, they were called evildoers or workers of iniquity. The eternal God and creator has given a remedy for every individual living on this earth in past times and even today. In the Old Testament, God spoke through prophet Ezekiel in chapter 36, verse 26, saying, I will give you a new heart and I will put a new spirit in you and I will take out your stony heart and give you a tender responsive heart and I will put my spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations. So this scripture tells us that this new heart comes only by one's attachment to Jesus Christ upon a true salvation experience. The stony heart is the unregenerate old nature that came with us from birth as a result of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in the garden. Only the Holy Spirit, who was given to the new believer in Jesus Christ, can change a stony heart, which is an unaffected nature of the human soul. The Spirit of God alone can give us new appetites, new passions, and a loving heart. In the scripture that says, I will put a new spirit in you, this tells us that precious Holy Spirit will renew our minds and enlighten our understanding and give us correct judgments and godly wisdom. He will give us a will that is after God's will and not after our own hardened will that is only concerned with me, myself, and I, but rather is concerned with other people and their welfare as well. a heart of flesh represents the new heart that can feel the love of God and longs to please God in every way with a longing to represent him with a purity and a reverence towards him this new nature or new heart and love for God is not a doing of our own wills but it is a supernatural or a divine miracle it is not man generated but it is from god's holy spirit who heard the call and the need of the individual who knew there was more to this earth life and knew there was life beyond this earth and this is saying that a person who answered the call of salvation was pripped or convicted in their hearts and soul of the sinfulness of their own lives, they reached out to God and he answered them. This is God inspired, dear listener. This is the miracle of the new creation in Jesus Christ. This is called the call of salvation. This is called the light of eternity that God puts within each individual born into the earth. Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 11 declares he has made everything beautiful in its time. He also planted eternity in men's hearts and minds, a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages, which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy. the scripture says i will cause you to walk in my statute meaning not only to believe my commands but to reverence my commands and precepts and avoid every appearance of evil you see this new heart was prophesied by prophet ezekiel who was foretelling the coming of jesus christ who alone was able to make possible in mere creatures of clay that is humankind to have a new heart because his holy spirit would live within them and give or work in them and give them the mind of christ jesus said before his death in john chapter 14 verse 15 if you love me you will obey me you will obey what I command and I will ask the father and he will give you another counselor to be with you forever the spirit of truth the world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him but you know him and he lives with you and will be in you. Jesus said the world cannot accept it and neither sees him or knows him. They refuse to see to know Jesus by virtue of his creation and the Holy Spirit has spoken to them through other people who have witnessed Jesus to them either in word, deed, or action. Jesus' spirit now lives within redeemed individuals and leads them in the way of all truth. He gives them this desire now to follow him and represent his nature and character, which is love, kindness, and respect for all people, because they are made in the image and likeness of Almighty God. Jesus also said in John chapter 13 verse 34 a new command I give you love one another I have loved you so you must love one another by this all men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another Jesus gave this new commandment to those who follow him this commandment is that we love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Beloved John the Apostle in 1 John chapter 3 verse 10 declares, by this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are his children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children. No one who does not practice righteousness, who does not conform to God's will in purpose, thought, and action is of God. Neither is anyone who does not love his brother, his fellow believer in Jesus Christ. 11. For this is the message, the announcement which you heard from the first, that we should love one another. Verse 12. And not be like Cain, who took his nature and got his motivation from the evil one and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his deeds, activities, and works were wicked and malicious, and his brothers were righteous. They were virtuous. Verse 13 Do not be surprised and wonder brethren that the world detests and pursues you with hatred The old nature in the old regenerate self could not truly love anyone. This old nature is in conflict with the new nature. the old nature of the human soul is like the pig or the raven which look for something unclean on which to feed but the new nature in jesus christ is like the analogy in scripture of the sheep and the dove which long for those things that are clean and holy indeed there is a struggle that goes on within the life of the believer the unsaved knows nothing of the battle because he does not know the holy spirit who will help guide and lead him and to overcome the old rotten nature this old nature is miraculously transformed into a beautiful soul with a caring heart in the mind of Christ in John chapter 17 verse 6 Jesus was praying to his heavenly father and he said father I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world they were yours you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word and now they know that everything that you have given me comes from you and I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you and they believed that you sent me. You see, only Jesus gives us a new nature, a new spirit, and now this new person in Jesus Christ truly makes conscientious effort to conform to Jesus' commands found only in Holy Scripture. The Holy Spirit lovingly lives within you now and awaits for you to cooperate with him while he teaches you about the mind of Christ and his will for your life. This is an implanted divine, supernatural love that grows for God and also for all whom God has created. Yes, that even includes the unlovable people that God puts within our path. In 1 John 4, verse 20, the beloved apostle tells us, If anyone says, I love God, and hates, detests, abominates his brother in Christ, he is a liar. for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen and this command this charge this order this injunction we have from him that he who loves God shall love his brother fellow believer also every generation of the time since Jesus Christ came and walked on this earth and was crucified on the cross of Calvary for the salvation of those, all those, whomsoever would choose him as their hope of glory. People have refused his generous offer and gift of eternal life that is found only in him. It is for this reason. We have what has been outlined in this message at the beginning with people who exhibit violent and cruel hearted hatred towards others because their minds have never been miraculously renewed with the love and the kindness of their savior who loves them and died for them they have been given the choice and they refuse the truth and the love for their creator who made them and has a plan for their life this new beginning of a hope for these evil minded people could begin with simply coming before the lord god almighty with a sincere repentant heart for their sinful ways jesus is the light of the world who would shine his truth and love in their hearts if they would submit to him. God speaks through prophet Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11. He says to them, for I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. and then you will call upon me and you will come to me and pray and I will listen to you and you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back from captivity. But without a true and sincere confession of one's sinful past, they will never know the plans for their lives that God has for them individually. They will remain among those who are called workers of iniquity and will continue with a distorted self-absorbed mind that plots their next evil plan, thinking of themselves as normal in the eyes of the world. In Micah chapter 2 verse 1, the prophet declared woe to those who devise wickedness and work evil on their beds then the morning dawns and they perform it because it is in the power of their hand but understand this they remain without excuse before god upon their judgment day and they will remain with their mad sick, insane, troubled minds. Repeating again, it is very true what St. Augustine said many years ago. A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, you are mad, you are not like us. In Romans chapter 1, beginning in Verse 19, the word declares, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse. verse 21 for although they knew god they neither glorified him as god nor gave thanks to him but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened verse 24 therefore god gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the creator who is forever praised. Amen. Verse 26. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Verse 28, further, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, depravity, and they are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. They are gossips, slanders, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent ways of doing evil. They disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. And although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death. They not only continue to do these very things, but approve of those who practice them. This is the word of the Lord. His word never comes back void. It stands forever and it will remain forever. It is true. There is a great creator who decides the times and seasons of people's lives and the events of the world as we know it in our day today our time job 14 5 declares by the word of the lord man's days are determined you have decreed the number of his month and have set the limits he cannot exceed yes there are rich people and poor in every walk of life in the world who have confidence in their own mental ascent and are rich in their own self-conceived ideals but are not rich in their relationship with God Almighty Jesus gave the parable of such people in Luke chapter 12 verse 19 In the parable the man says to himself I'll sit back and I'll say to myself my friend you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy. Eat, drink and be merry. Verse 20, but God said to him, you fool, you will die this very night. Then who will get everything you've worked for? Verse 21, yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth and not have a rich relationship with God. although there are many in the world who deny and hate the one the only awesome god who is in control of all things even in their very lives yet they cannot stop the fact that time marches on towards the prophesied events that are slated to come to pass as god's all-powerful word lays out in the holy book of life called the Bible. Every individual one day will meet with their maker and stand before him and give account of their lives, good or bad. The wicked-minded people will actually gnash their teeth, which means they will be so filled and full of hatred that this foaming living hatred for God and for mankind, if they can't contain it. Gnashing of teeth is a phrase that Jesus used to portray the futility of the wicked-minded people who will be judged by God in their time of judgment. And this is a mental derangement of a sound mind, a preference for evil, the evil side of life, which includes lying, cheating, and deceitfulness. Simply described, this is the mind of Satan and includes all of his works of deception. These people's hatred and insanity will be an exhibition of enraged dementia against the joy that they see in those who are truly filled with joy, have love for God, and endeavor to live upright lives in his son Jesus Christ. As mentioned in this message previously, God has provided through his son Jesus Christ the remedy for overcoming a troubled and anxious mind that gives the only way to be sane and filled with joy and peace as we live in an uncertain world today filled with hatred, war, perversion, and disease that are thrust upon whole nations in this earth by greedy, wicked people seeking to enrich themselves with money, fame, and fortune. Jesus tells those who will listen in John chapter 14, verse 1, do not let your hearts be troubled trust in God and trust in me also and verse 27 he says peace I leave with you my peace I give you I do not give to you as the world gives you do not let your hearts be troubled and don't be afraid in Romans chapter 12 verse 2 the instruction of our chief apostle says, do not be conformed to this world, to this age, fashioned after and adapted to its external superficial customs, but be transformed, changed by the entire renewal of your mind, by its new ideals and new attitudes, so that you may prove for yourselves what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect is in his sight for you. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 22 commands us to strip yourselves of your old former nature, the old man, the old person, the old self. Put off and disregard your old unrenewed self, which is characterized by your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion and be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude. Put off the old nature and regenerate self. Create in God's image, God-like in true righteousness and holiness. Verse 25, therefore rejecting all falsity and being done now with it, let everyone express the truth with his neighbor. For we are all part of one body and members one of another. You see, God has made provision for all people everywhere to be saved from insanity, anxiety, and hatred. if only they will heed the word of God found in the Holy Scriptures. There are two trees in which all people are given to choose from, the tree of life who is Christ and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which belongs to Satan the devil. People who purport to be Christian need to answer this question for themselves. Did or has my decision for Christ change my life? Have I been following false prophets or teachers who teach a false doctrine which produces false righteousness? Do I follow those who magnify themselves and not Jesus Christ in their purpose to exploit people for personal gain and some other cause rather than build Christ in people's lives? All people who believe in any false doctrine, such as Buddhism, New Age religion, humanism, Scientology, and so on, will never experience a changed life because only Jesus Christ brings change that is eternal. Unfortunately, some people will not realize this until it's too late, although they have had clear witnesses from people all along in their walk on this earth. Jesus told us in John chapter 16, verse 33, I have told you these things so that in me you may have perfect peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration. But be of good cheer. Take courage. Be confident, certain, undaunted. For I have overcome the world. I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you. Hallelujah. Philippians 4, 7 declares, And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ. Again, only in Jesus Christ. that is the only place where true peace and joy in this world in which we live today will be found and more so for all of eternity it is a clear fact according to scripture the people who go on in their pride and offensive sinful lifestyles refuse god's wonderful offer of eternal life through his precious son Jesus Christ, death, burial, and resurrection. They will experience the worst kind of pain and torment and agony forever as they are cast into outer darkness with their excruciating self-inflicted physical and mental agony for which there is no comfort that money could buy, nor words that they could ever take back. it is too late at this point in time it is just too late the lamb of god the innocent one would have been your friend and would have also loved you and ruled your life and saved you but now it is just too late. Cry not aloud for the Lord to save you. It is too late. Look what you have brought upon yourselves now, O wretched, stubborn, prideful soul. It is just too late. We would like to hear from you if this message has touched your life in some way, either by encouragement, healing, Deliberance or simply if you've been enlightened by the word of God in an area of understanding in your Christian growth.
