Isaiah 48:1–22
Israel Refined for God’s Glory 48 Hear this, O house of Jacob, dwho are called by the name of Israel, and ewho came from the waters of Judah, fwho swear by the name of the Lord and confess the God of Israel, but not in truth or right. 2 For they call themselves after the holy city, gand stay themselves on the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts is his name. 3 “The former things hI declared of old; they went out from my mouth, and I announced them; then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass. 4 Because I know that iyou are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass, 5 hI declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say, j‘My idol did them, my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’ 6 “You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forth kI announce to you new things, hidden things that you have not known. 7 They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’ 8 You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that lfrom before birth you were called a rebel. 9 m“For my name’s sake I defer my anger; for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. 10 Behold, I have refined you, nbut not as silver; oI have tried1 you in the furnace of affliction. 11 pFor my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name2 be profaned? qMy glory I will not give to another. The Lord’s Call to Israel 12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am he; rI am the first, and I am the last. 13 My hand slaid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand sspread out the heavens; twhen I call to them, they stand forth together. 14 “Assemble, all of you, and listen! uWho among them has declared these things? The Lord loves him; vhe shall perform his purpose on Babylon, and his arm shall be against wthe Chaldeans. 15 xI, even I, have spoken and called him; I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way. 16 yDraw near to me, hear this: from the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there.” And now zthe Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit. 17 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. 18 aOh that you had paid attention to my commandments! bThen your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea; 19 cyour offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me.” 20 dGo out from Babylon, flee from eChaldea, declare this fwith a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it out to the end of the earth; say, g“The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!” 21 hThey did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; ihe made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and the water gushed out. 22 j“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”
So my husband and I have been volunteering at the local food bank/thrift store combination since Aug. 2021. Two weeks ago we were fired for stealing some things we had actually paid for. We went back down with the bank statement for the money that my husband had left the store to go get money for to pay for them along with the items. The board guy we spoke with when we went back says he believes us but has inly been able to speak with two other board members and supposedly they also now believe us but don’t want ti reinstate us for fear of a rumor mill getting started. We enjoyed working there and serving others. Their flip judgement was solely based on a couple photos of me carrying items out back door as they were too heavy to take to other end of building that we had paid for and I had back surgery in March. We told our lead which items and ahe had seen them when we paid. One camera (which were all recently installed due to theft problem) was unplugged by another worker for us to test items to be sure they worked before buying. We were accused of unplugging it but later that pady came forward and said she had after they fired us. How can we handle this false accusation? We have never stolen anything and not about to start now.
October 19,2022 Just saw skyscrapers toppling and breaking in pieces as flood waters covered New York City and DC areas. At the same time, I saw angels picking up and relocating God’s people who love and serve the Lord. God is about to bring utter destruction upon the camp of the evil one and bring low evil rulers.
October 21, 2022 As I closed my eyes for a nap this afternoon and drifted off, I saw a giant eagle swooping towards me and I was suddenly lifted first over a lake, then grassy valleys, hilly forests and stream then up over tall snow capped mountain peaks and I knew I was seeing the future Camp Yesu again.
Can anyone tell me what Quantum Financial is all about and if good or not?
I was just praying with my eyes closed and had a vision that kept shifting back and forth from real to cartoon.
I was praying for my husband, kids and Son in laws just now that God would continue to help them along, draw them closer to Him and bring them alongside me in the Camp Yesu mission to see the vision as well and dispel their doubts.
Suddenly I saw a child hiking up a hill with Jesus and it was pretty steep. Jesus reached back and took the child’s hand to help him up, then I saw many more children behind that one and the trail kept getting steeper. The children were many ages and some weren’t near strong enough to hold into the ones behind them. Jesus was sending his strength through each child to be able to hold on to the ones behind them.
Then in cartoon mode, I saw a man in middle of this hiking chain with crazy spiral eyes. He was using the strength of the children in front of him to pull himself up, and while he was holding in to the child’s hand behind him and more children were behind that one, he decided to let go of the child behind him and let them fall.
Jesus quickly kicked the man away off a cliff and simultaneously caught the falling children in his arm in one fell swoop.
They continued up to the top if a beautiful mountain where Jesus wrapped his arms around all of the children in a huge embrace.

Rejoicing in Trials (Philippians 1:12–20) 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position. 10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field. 11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
Good and Perfect Gifts 13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone. 14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. 15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.b 18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.c
Hearing and Doing 19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires. 21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. 23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror, 24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless. 27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
A Living Hope 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birthb into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials 7so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully, 11trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

Urgent prayer request; My son who will be 25 next month keeps having severe asthma attacks and is allergic to practically everything is having a bad one right now. He has already had a couple recent ambulance trips to the ER and has racked up quite a bill. He just got the doctor to fill out FMLA paperwork so his time for doctor visits will be covered with his job.
The father says today, you are the apple of my eye. I don’t take kindly to anyone being a harassing influence over you, says God. I have laughed out loud at all the plots and schemes to derail and swallow your hopes and dreams when you walked the wilderness. The scenery has changed and you have changed. Things are no longer the same. I will recompense now with tribulation, all who trouble you, for it is a righteous thing to do and vengeance is all mine, says God. You feel alone and besieged, but that is not an accurate picture of things because I am with you and by your side. There are many routing for you than those against you, and they fight night and day to fend off all trespasses around your borders. Beloved, I am the all-consuming fire and I will answer the trespasses by fire. The fire will today engulf you and keep them at bay. You will be free to go about your kingdom's visions and assignments and fulfil the mandates upon your life, says God. You have humbled yourself under my hand and walk the highway of humility. Now resist the enemy, and he will flee from you and from your borders. Make forceful decrees and they will be established. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and then the much-needed freedom will come. My affections for you keeping increasing by the day, and I am for you and no one can come against you. Beloved, it is s time to rule and reign amid your adversaries, says the father.
So, since Fakebook/Facecommie has been censoring conservatives si much and I keep landing in FB jail, I decided on a whim to post to ‘my story’ section. Hasn’t been tagged or taken down or yet and I have done several times now. I think they haven’t been able to censor this branch yet.
Jeremiah 31:1-40 The Lord Will Turn Mourning to Joy 31 z“At that time, declares the Lord, aI will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they shall be my people.” 2 Thus says the Lord: “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; bwhen Israel sought for rest, 3 the Lord appeared to him1 from far away. cI have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore dI have continued emy faithfulness to you. 4 fAgain I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin Israel! gAgain you shall adorn yourself with tambourines and shall go forth in hthe dance of the merrymakers. 5 iAgain you shall plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and shall enjoy the fruit. 6 For there shall be a day when watchmen will call in jthe hill country of Ephraim: k‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.’ ” 7 For thus says the Lord: l“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for mthe chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, n‘O Lord, save your people, the remnant of Israel.’ 8 Behold, I will bring them ofrom the north country and pgather them from qthe farthest parts of the earth, among them rthe blind and the lame, the pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together; a great company, they shall return here. 9 sWith weeping they shall come, tand with pleas for mercy I will lead them back, I will make them uwalk by brooks of water, vin a straight path in which they shall not stumble, for wI am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is xmy firstborn. 10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands far away; say, ‘He who scattered Israel will pgather him, and will keep him yas a shepherd keeps his flock.’ 11 zFor the Lord has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from ahands too strong for him. 12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, band they shall be radiant cover the goodness of the Lord, dover the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; etheir life shall be like a watered garden, fand they shall languish no more. 13 gThen shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. hI will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. 14 iI will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the Lord.” 15 Thus says the Lord: j“A voice is heard in kRamah, lamentation and bitter weeping. lRachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, mbecause they are no more.” 16 Thus says the Lord: “Keep your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for there is a reward for your work, declares the Lord, and nthey shall come back from the land of the enemy. 17 oThere is hope for your future, declares the Lord, and your children shall come back to their own country. 18 I have heard pEphraim grieving, ‘You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like an untrained calf; qbring me back that I may be restored, for you are the Lord my God. 19 For after rI had turned away, I relented, and after I was instructed, sI struck my thigh; tI was ashamed, and I was confounded, because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’ 20 pIs Ephraim my dear son? uIs he my darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do remember him still. vTherefore my heart2 yearns for him; I will surely have mercy on him, declares the Lord. 21 w“Set up road markers for yourself; make yourself guideposts; xconsider well the highway, wthe road by which you went. Return, O virgin Israel, return to these your cities. 22 yHow long will you waver, zO faithless daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: a woman encircles a man.” 23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its cities, awhen I restore their fortunes: b“ ‘The Lord bless you, cO habitation of righteousness, dO holy hill!’ 24 eAnd Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and ethe farmers and those who wander with their flocks. 25 For I will fsatisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.” 26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me. 27 g“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when hI will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with ithe seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass that jas I have watched over them kto pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, jso I will watch over them lto build and to plant, declares the Lord. 29 In those days they shall no longer say: m“ ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ 30 nBut everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge. The New Covenant 31 o“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make pa new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when qI took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, rthough I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 sFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: sI will put my law within them, and I will write it ton their hearts. uAnd I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ vfor they shall all know me, wfrom the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For xI will forgive their iniquity, and yI will remember their sin no more.” 35 Thus says the Lord, who zgives the sun for light by day and athe fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— bthe Lord of hosts is his name: 36 c“If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.” 37 Thus says the Lord: “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, dthen I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord.” 38 e“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when the city shall be rebuilt for the Lord ffrom the Tower of Hananel to gthe Corner Gate. 39 hAnd the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah. 40 iThe whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the jbrook Kidron, to the corner of kthe Horse Gate toward the east, lshall be sacred to the Lord. mIt shall not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever.”
Isaiah 41:9-20 9 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 11 “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. 12 Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. 13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. 14 Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. 16 You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel. 17 “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. 18 I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. 19 I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set junipers in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together, 20 so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
