Mia Schem, a freed Israeli hostage who was snatched by Hamas on October 7th and taken into Gaza, reveals both her horrifying experience in captivity and what the people in Gaza are truly like. Mia was forced into a pitch black room for 54 days where she did not see sunlight one time. A veterinarian operated surgery on her arm after getting shot at gunpoint. Some days she was not given food and throughout her 2 months she did not shower once. Mia suffered, “A Holocaust.”

Preaching and witnessing are much the same. Every Christian is called to spread the Gospel. Current events often color the picture, however, when it comes to presenting the Gospel with good effect. Such things must be taken into account, the truth boldly told, and the Gospel presented in the light of the day. This may require great effort, much effective prayer, and the touch of the Holy Spirit on the bearer of the Good News and the prospective convert.

How would you present the Gospel Message to an Israeli? How would you present the Gospel Message to a Gazan Muslim? Those two questions should sum up our first reflective thoughts about these victims after listening to the video, because being unsaved IS being a victim, and IS often being a victimizer. Think about it!

And, on the other hand, bearing in mind that Israel was told to completely wipe out past cultures, every person, every man, woman and child, due to their evil… At what point is witnessing to an evil and murderous culture a waste of time? When do we shake the dust off our sandals and move on? When is enough, enough?

Nearly 17,000 People May Have Died From Hydroxychloroquine: Study - Story by Nathaniel Weixel at The Hill

Nearly 17,000 people across six countries may have died because they took hydroxychloroquine (HQC) during the first wave of COVID-19 in 2020, according to a new analysis published by French researchers. LIARS: WHO FUNDED THIS RESEARCH? PROBABLY DRUG COMPANIES WANTING TO PUSH ANOTHER JAB! THSE PEOPLE “MAY HAVE” DIED BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD A BAD CASE OF COVID!

Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malaria drug that was prescribed off-label to treat COVID-19 in the early stage of the pandemic, as researchers and physicians scrambled to find a way to combat the disease. It was also proposed as a preventative measure. - IT IS A GOOD PREVENTATIVE MEASURE. I TOOK IT AND HAD MILD COVID FOUR TIMES AND SURVIVED IT NICELY. NO HOSPITALIZATION, AND NO INCUBATION WHICH IS WHAT ACTUALLY KILLED MANY OF THE VICTIMS.

In February and March 2020, the use of this treatment was widely promoted based on preliminary reports suggesting a potential efficacy against COVID-19. However, subsequent studies showed that not only did the drug have no benefit, it also resulted in a significant increase in risk of death. - LIARS: USE OF hydroxychloroquine DOES NOT INCREASE THE RISK OF DEATH! MANY OTHER DOCTORS WHGO FACED OFFICIAL SANCTION AND LOSS OF THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, STILL SAY hydroxychloroquine IS A GOOD “PREVENTITIVE” TO COVID, MEANING THAT IT GREATLY LESSENS THE BAD EFFECTS OF COVID WHEN TAKEN BEFORE GETTING COVID.

According to the researchers from Lyon, France, and Quebec, Canada, providers still prescribed hydroxychloroquine to some patients hospitalized with COVID-19 “despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits.” - LIARS: THIS STUDY GROUP ALREADY WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID AND IN SERIOUS CONDITION, AND WAS ONLY THEN PRESCRIBED hydroxychloroquine, SO THEY DIED FROM COVID, NOT FROM THE DRUG PRESCRIBED AFTER THEY WERE ALREADY GOING CRITICAL AND PROBABLY INCUBATED! BEING INCUBATED KILLED A LOT OF VICTIMS. YES, I DID SAY “VICTIMS.”

The analysis found an estimated 16,990 excess deaths across six countries — Turkey, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy and the U.S. — were likely attributed to hydroxychloroquine use. - LIARS: “LIKELY” IS CERTAINLY NOT PROOF OF THIS CLAIM. MANY COVID VICTIMS HAD REACTIONS TO THE JABS THAT KILLED THEM, FROM STROKES AND HEART ATTACKS, AND FROM OTHER CONTRIBUTING HEALTH PROBLEMS, BUT WHENEVER POSSIBLE ALL DEATHS POSSIBLE WERE CONTRIBUTED TO ONLY COVID.

The researchers analyzed other studies that tracked hospitalizations, exposure to hydroxychloroquine and the relative risk of death from the drug. - YEAH, TRY TRACKING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD STROKES, AND WHO HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BLOOD CLOTS LEADING TO DEATH, FROM THE JAB! AGAIN, WHO PAID FOR THIS REASEARCH? FOLLOW THE MONEY!

The toxicity of hydroxychloroquine in patients with COVID-19 was partially due to cardiac side effects, such as abnormal heart rhythms. - NO, AGAIN, WHY PRESCRIBE ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHEMS TO hydroxychloroquine? THESE LIBERALS SIMPLY “CHOOSE” TO BLAME hydroxychloroquine. MANY STUDIES BY OTHER WELL QUALIFIED DOCTORS DISPUTE FINDING LIKE THE FINDINGS CLAIMED BY THIS BOGUS STUDY! BUT THOSE DOCTORS WERE LARGELY SILENCED IN THE LIBERAL MEDIA.

However, the researchers noted their numbers were likely an undercounT, but could also be a significant overcount. YES, READ THAT AGAIN: “could also be a significant overcount.” UNDOUBTEDLY SO!

The study period was only from March to July 2020, and there was a general lack of data from most countries. The actual number of deaths related to hydroxychloroquine could be between 3,000 and 30,000, they said. - THIS PARAGRAPH PROJECTING DEATHS NUMBERING 30,000 IS COMPLETELY BASELESS AND NOTHING BUT A SCARE TACTIC. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SUPPORTS THAT CONCLUSION. LIARS. BRAINWASHING!

Worldwide, the number of deaths related to hydroxychloroquine “was obviously underestimated because of the lack of studies in regions, such as East Europe, United Kingdom, Germany, Scandinavia, Africa, and South America,” the researchers wrote. - BALONEY! BOGUS FIVE MONTH STUDIES OF CRITICAL PATIENTS WILL ALWAYS SHOW HIGH DEATH RATES, NO MATTER WHAT DRUG YOU GIVE THEM AFTER THEY GET THAT WAY.

Since there were about 600 million people combined living in the countries included in the study, the researchers said the real number of hydroxychloroquine-induced deaths might be “significantly higher given the wide use of HCQ during the first and subsequent waves in numerous countries.” - AGAIN, BASELESS CONJECTURE BASED ON FAULTY RESEARCH.

The Food and Drug Administration granted a temporary emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine on March 28, 2020, which was revoked on June 15, 2020. Former president Trump repeatedly promoted the drug, touting hydroxychloroquine and a related drug called chloroquine as a possible “miracle.” - LIARS! OF COURSE THESE LIBERAL LIARS HAVE TO DRAG TRUMP INTO THEIR LIES, IN AN ATTEMPT TO FUTHER DAMAGE HIS CHANCES OF BEING PRESIDENT AGAIN. IT’S ALL TRUMPS FAULT, RIGHT? NOT!

“What do you have to lose? Take it,” Trump said during one of the White House coronavirus briefings. - PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN hydroxychloroquine FOR MANY YEARS AND IT HAS PROOVED TO BE A VERY SAFE DRUG TO TAKE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A BOGUS, LYING ARTICLE, A HATCHET JOB PROBABLY PAID FOR BY PEOPLE INTERESTED IN SELLING THE JABS. I SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE FROM TAKING hydroxychloroquine THAT hydroxychloroquine IS A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE DRUG, NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DEATHS.

THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND FOLKS!!!!!!

OIL - You better be sitting down when you read this !!!!!!

Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just 6 months ago.

They sent every Kenworth (9 trucks) they had in Alaska to North Dakota along with several drivers. They just bought two new Kenworth’s to add to that fleet; one being a TriDrive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it.

They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber tired) for that Invasion.

Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years.

Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps down there since there are no rooms available.

Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent - last I Checked.

See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling North Dakota’s economy?

Here’s an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of The Forbes Bros. was the guest.

The host said to Forbes, “I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. Have in the ground?”

Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, “More than all the Middle East put Together.”

The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn’t been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana.

Check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable (5Billion barrels), at $107 a barrel,
We’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.

“When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their Jaws hit the floor.

They had no idea..” says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyzer.

“This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in The past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the ‘Bakken.’ It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.

For years, U.S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades Ago.
However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s Massive reserves. We now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is Light, sweet oil. Those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!!!!!! That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years Straight.

And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one should - Because it’s from 2006 !!!!!!

U.S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World

Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted.

With this mother lode of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore Drilling?

They reported this stunning news:

We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on Earth.

Here are the official estimates:

8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia.
18 times as much oil as Iraq.
21 times as much oil as Kuwait.
22 times as much oil as Iran.
500 times as much oil as Yemen.

And it’s all right here in the Western United States !!!!!!

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East, more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the World today, reports The Denver Post.

Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, it has to.

Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

Got your attention yet? Now, while you’re thinking about it, do this:

Pass this along. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to everyone in your address book.

By the way, this can be verified. Check it out at the link below.

“Sexual intimacy is a complex neurochemical, hormonal, and spiritual event. It is one of the most powerful God-given means by which human beings form attachments. The question “Who or what are you bound to?” has to be asked in the arena of sexuality, and it has a neurobiological answer. There is no such thing as “just looking” at porn. There can be no doubt that it affects us neurologically in long-lasting ways. How we choose to exercise that knowledge—for sanctification or for depravity—is up to each one of us.”

“In men, there are five noteworthy chemicals involved in sexual arousal and response. Testosterone is the male hormone that seems to drive sexual interest. It has long been known that castrating animals (removal of the testes that produce the majority of testosterone in males) is an effective way to decrease sex drive and castration also reduces interest in sex in men as well (i.e., eunuchs). Testosterone seems to be an enabler of sex drive and its production is triggered by the brain through a hormonal process that can be adjusted throughout the day in response to what is going on in the environment. When sexual cues are identified by the brain, a surge of testosterone production is triggered. This testosterone surge heightens sexual anticipation and prepares the body for sexual encounters. What is fascinating is that these cues can be produced by pornography or through sexual fantasizing. So it’s not just what you see that causes the testosterone surge to increase sexual interest, it is also what you dwell on that can produce the surge as well.”

“A second player in the cavalcade of chemicals is dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is known to underlie all drugs of addiction. Dopamine seems to play an important role in helping people identify what things in their environment are significant. This chemical is going to be the primary reason why craving occurs. Often dopamine is referred to as a pleasure chemical. Its levels are increased when we do things that generally perpetuate our lives and the survival of our species. For example, satisfying hunger by eating a meal, satisfying thirst by drinking water, and satisfying the sex drive by engaging in intercourse all are correlated with heightened dopamine levels. External or internal sexual cues can trigger the release of dopamine in key brain regions that are also sensitive to testosterone. The key element to remember here is that dopamine is directing us toward resolving the tension that is being produced by the sexual images and anticipation of sexual release. It provides the rush that men feel when they view pornography.”

“Another neurotransmitter involved in heightening this rush is norepinephrine. It has two functions in the development of sexual addictions. First, norepinephrine is a significant player in promoting sexual arousal. It is a cousin to adrenaline chemically, and it is involved in helping the body prepare for sexual activity. In addition to preparing the body, it also is readying the brain to remember how the sexual drive is being met. Norepinephrine helps to store the memories of this event. It should come as no surprise that many men who can’t remember what they had for breakfast last week can still remember the image of the first Playboy centerfold that they ever saw. Norepinephrine serves to help store these memories and get these images stuck in the brain because, presumably, they were memories that were important to be stored.”

“While dopamine and norepinephrine may provide the immediate rush that men get from viewing porn, the key event in determining whether or not viewing becomes a habitual pattern is going to be the release of endogenous opiates produced during sexual release (most notably in response to orgasm). Many men will report that this experience is accompanied by feelings of transcendence and euphoria that are known to be related to the release of endogenous opiates. It has been known for decades that the brain produces its own opiates that are involved in pain relief and pleasure. Street drugs such as heroin and medicines such as morphine can produce feelings of euphoria and reduce pain. This ability of orgasm to produce euphoria or release from sexual tension is what provides the psychological reward to the sexual drive. The release of endogenous opiates during masturbation or sexual activity with a partner is part of a larger sequence of sexual arousal and response. Viewing pornography provides the stimuli that help prepare the body for sexual response. When the viewer sexually acts out, resulting in orgasm, it gets stored as a behavior that is known to have a significant payoff. That significant payoff is the release of opiates that provide the chemical substrate for the psychological experience of orgasm.”

“While the payoff for orgasm is powerful, it is not an easy thing to achieve. The highs of orgasm are not available on demand. In the real world with real people, considerable effort has to go into cultivating a relationship that may result in a sexual encounter. A great deal of neurological effort, hormonal preparation, and appropriate behaviors usually precede this high. Here is where pornography hijacks God’s intended pattern of sexual attraction, arousal, and response.”

“Viewing pornography for sexual arousal and using it to produce the release and euphoria of orgasm provides a merely transient fix to any number of psychological problems. Whether it is depression, poor self-esteem, anger, or any other number of things that cause a person to feel a need for relief or release, pornography becomes part of the ritual that is used to get a short-term fix. Like eating candy to satisfy hunger, pornography can feel like a healthy way to satisfy the drive for intimacy. In truth, it provides no nourishment whatsoever, and results in a greater degree of need. Even in the absence of acting out, the images have such a robust, salient character that they are stored as memories that can produce a warped sense of sexuality and objectification.”

As a former porn addict I can attest that viewing porn is bad for your mental health and relationships with other people and with God. Click through and read the full article! Porn is often the first experience that sex addicts come into contact with. It is often a gateway drug to other, even more evil thoughts and activities. Such sexual perverse activities are the basis for human and child trafficking. Slavery, pedophilia and torture and murder can be the eventual outcome of an initial interest in pornography. It is warped thinking for warped people, but of course when one turns to God for healing, warped people can be changed for the better.

“How do we avoid falling into despair once we realize that the use of pornography can produce long-lasting neurological and hormonal effects on the brain? It is important to remember that the guidelines we are given in Scripture about how to conduct ourselves sexually are fairly straightforward.”

There are many resources available for Sexual Healing. That is just one link in many that can be found with an Internet search. If porn is a problem in your life, it is time for you to do something about removing it from your life. Repent and turn to Jesus for a new way of thinking. I did. And being free of that cursed desire is a wonderful thing! Make the move!
