For non-commercial use only.On May 3, 1969, the above song was introduced to the world, by Sly & The Family Stone, during the summer of love and in the year of Woodstock, but it never rang so true, as during President Trump's State of The Union speech, so let us never forget what your eyes saw and your ears heard, especially as we go to the polls in future elections! Purim starts Monday, March 2nd at sundown and continues through Tuesday, March 3rd at sundown, so if all scripture is written, as examples for us, what lessons do we have to learn from the past that will keep us in right standing with God in our present day and into our future?
Esther 5:1-9New American Standard Bible 1995Esther Plans a Banquet5 Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's [a] rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the [b] throne room, opposite the entrance to the palace. 2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter. 3 Then the king said to her, "What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be given to you." 4 Esther said, "If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him."5 Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly that we may do [c] as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the banquet which Esther had prepared. 6 [d] As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done." 7 So Esther replied, "My petition and my request is: 8 if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and do [e] what I request, may the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do [f] as the king says."Haman's Pride9 Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or [g] tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.

Queen Esther, formerly known as Myrtle, 'stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's [a] rooms,' The King saw her 'standing in the court' and 'she obtained favor in his sight,' but her cousin Mordecai 'did not stand up or [g] tremble before' the evil Haman, who wanted to destroy all the Jews! For most of us, we never had to make such a major decision, as either Esther or Mordecai, but in their case, it was life or death, so what would you have stood for? What are you actually standing for? Our English translations don't always capture the full meaning of the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic original languages of the bible, but each of us have the means to find out the original meanings of any of the words in holy script, by using a Strong's Concordance. In this particular article, we're wanting to get to the original intent and meaning of the words, stand & stood: abide, arise, confirm, dwell, endure, establish, ordain, (be) present, raise up, serve, (be at a) stay (up), tarry, to rise, accomplish, be clearer, decree, get up, make good, help, (help to) lift up (again), strengthen, succeed and so much more!
Esther 8:4New American Standard Bible 19954 The king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So, Esther arose and stood before the king.Read full chapterEsther 8:4 in all English translations.
Whatever we do is do be done, as unto The LORD! We're told to arise and shine, because The King is calling us unto Himself, to be witnesses for Him, salt and light to this present world of darkness. Jesus is The True Vine, we are the branches that are told to abide in Him. The Son has come to dwell in our hearts! You and I must endure until The End, as servant leaders. We are to strengthen the things that remain, making straight The Way Of The LORD, preparing for His second coming, because it's closer now, than when we first believed! I'll leave you with a closing Word & a hymn.

Stand up, stand up for JesusStand up, stand up, for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,

from victory unto victory

till every foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up, for Jesus;
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict
in this his glorious day:
ye that are men now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
Stand up, stand up, for Jesus;
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own:
put on the Gospel armor,
and watching unto prayer,
when duty calls, or danger,
be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up, for Jesus;
the strife will not be long:
this day, the noise of battle;
the next, the victor's song.
To him that overcometh
a crown of life shall be;
he with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.Mark TrossHttp://nmprayerconnect.weebly.com Featured ProductsYour browser does not support iframes. ; View the content of this inline frame with your browsernmprayerconnect.weebly.comMark TrossListen to Mark Tross on Spotify.

Subject: Are We Through? February 2026 NM Prayer Connect Newsletter! Romans 5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, [a] we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and [b] we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only this, but [c] we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us (NASB 1995).
Footnotes

Romans 5:1 Two early mss let's have
Romans 5:2 Lit we boast; or let's
Romans 5:3 Lit we also boast; or let's also boast.

No matter who you are or where you are in this world, you're most likely going through something or thinking you're totally through altogether, but God has promised to take you through the fire and through the flood, He's refining you in His Refiner's (Holy Spirit) Fire, bringing you forth as gold, fit for The Father's good purposes, to perform the works, which He has prepared for you to do, from before the foundations of the earth were laid. Yes, like King David wrote in Psalm 23, even though we are presently walking though the valley of the shadow of death, in this present world of darkness, we should 'Fear Not,' because He is with us always and for us, He'll never leave or forsake us, no matter what things look like, we're called to walk by faith and not by sight, but there is a process, so like the above portion of Holy Script, Let Us, as God said in Genesis, Let's have Peace/Shalom with God, Our Heavenly Father, Let Us exult in The Hope, Jesus, Who will not disappoint us and Let's boast and exult in the trials and tribulations that come our way, which give us perseverance, proving and improving our character, because God's Love has been poured out and into our hearts. Now, like Paul and Jesus, you and I can be poured out, as a drink offering before God and our fellow humans, sharing the Love of God and the good news of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit to all and there's more!
Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law (NASB 1995).
The Bible tells us that "LIFE Is In The Blood," so we appear before God, just as if we had never sinned, justified, when we are cleansed by The Blood Of The Lamb. We are 'Saved,' brought into Salvation/Yeshua/Jesus, through the ministry of The Holy Spirit and through Jesus, we're brought into a right relationship with Our Father Who Art In Heaven, meaning we have been reconciled, which is why each and every born-again believer and follower of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed One has the full time ministry of reconciliation, to bring others into a right relationship with God The Father and our fellow humans. The Gift Of God Is Eternal LIFE, so there is now no condemnation in Christ and it's available to all, because God wishes that none would perish and that all would come unto Him and He allows us to enter into His Rest. Disobedience brings God's wrath, but obedience always brings God's blessing, a right standing relationship with Him.
Romans 5:16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.
17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous (NASB 1995).
My brother-in-law used to say, "On the other hand, four fingers and a thumb..." In the book of Romans alone, Paul, under the leadership and guidance of God's Holy Spirit writes 'through' thirty-three times. The emphasis is so much more than a "Moses, Moses, Verily, Verily" or "Truely, Truely." Surely God is trying to lead and guide us into all Truth and understanding about His process of taking us from glory to glory, grace to grace and vessel to vessel. Jesus looked beyond The Cross and many of us are stuck two thousand years ago, still at the foot thereof. The Book Of Hebrews tells us that we are to enter into The Holy Of Holies, where the very Presence Of God The Father Dwells, 'through' The Rent Veil, which Is His (Jesus') Body, not by our own might or power, but "By My Holy Spirit," says The LORD/Yahweh! The Holy Spirit leads us to The Son, Who came to 'show us The Way' to The Father. Jesus exhorts us to go to The Father 'In His Name,' asking whatever we will and He will do It. Are you Asking The Father, Seeking His Will and Knocking, so that The Door will be open unto you? Remember, Jesus only said and did what The Father told Him to say and do and eventually He will lay everything at The Father's Feet. Are we in, of, by, for, 'through' and to Him? I once attended a Holy Spirit only church in NJ and there's a Jesus only church here in Rio Rancho, NM, where I live, but should we not be a full gospel church, baptizing In The Name of The Father, Son & Holy Ghost? Up to this point in your life, what has God brought you through, which you can give all glory, honor and praise about and what is He presently bringing you through, to get you where you need to be, because He's wanting to use you to further His Kingdom, here on earth, as it is in Heaven? Jesus says to you and me, "Just as The Father sent Me, so I AM sending you, GO and do likewise," so you have been called and sent, but will you say to Him, "Not my will, but Thine be done?"

Subject: "Abba, Father!" - January 2026 NM Prayer Connect/PATH, NM/COG, NM, El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter

Only 3 times in the new testament is the word 'Abba' used for "Father," and it's in Aramaic, meaning an intimate relationship with our 'Daddy!'

Mark 14:36 And He was saying, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will (NASB 1995)."

Galatians 4:6 in all English translations

The Bible is very clear that Jesus came to show us The Way to The Father, but are we in an intimate, personal relationship with The One Who so Loves us that He gave His One & Only Begotten Son to save the world? Jesus says in John 17, "Just as The Father sent Me, so I Am sending you!" Paul the Apostle asks, "How are they going to know if we don't tell them?"

The Word, "Father" is in the scriptures more than 1,000 times, so we ought to pay attention to what The Holy Spirit is saying to The Church/Ecclesia, His 'Called Out Ones' in 2026!

It's believed by most biblical scholars that Jesus only took 15 minutes to give us what is called, 'The Sermon On The Mount,' in Matthew 5-7. Although this is basically short and sweet, He uses The Word, "Father" 17 times in this portion of Holy Script alone. I often say, when God is speaking, "Moses, Moses" or Jesus is saying, "Verily, Verily/Truely, Truely," They're trying to get our attention, like when The Bible says, "Behold," meaning look, see, fix your eyes upon this! Even Jesus says, "You will go to The Father, In My Name." I'm not trying to be dogmatic here, but I do believe that Jesus only said and did what The Father told Him to say and do, so when He tells us to "Go and do likewise," we need to take Him far more seriously, like our 'father,' Abraham, as recorded in both the old and new testament, he took God at His Word and acted upon It, because Jesus' ½ brother tells us that "Faith without works is dead." As we leave the old year behind and press on into the new, let us go boldly into our future, praying in the Prophetic Word like Daniel. Every disciple of Christ, meaning Messiah, The Anointed One, should be standing on the promises of God, knowing that they are yes and amen in Jesus! We're told that everything that can be shaken will be shaken, except for the Kingdom Of God. Paul tells us, "The Kingdom Of God Is Righteous, Peace & Joy In The Holy Spirit!" He declared that his righteousness was as filthy rags, but all believers are declared righteous, "The Righteousness Of God In Christ Jesus." You and I are ambassadors, representing Jesus everywhere we go! He Is our Shalom, peace, wholeness, fullness and blessing. The Joy Of The LORD Is our strength, The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit, according to Galatians 5 and in our weakness, God shows Himself Mighty in our midst! I anticipate great things in this new year because, "God Is Faithful, by Whom you have been called." He's The Hope that Is within the veil, The Hope Of Israel, The Hope Of the nations, The Hope Of the world and The Hope that will not disappoint us, according to His Word, Will & Way + He watches over It to perform It, so let us go boldly into our future together, knowing that He goes before us in all things, He's with us and for us, He'll never leave or forsake us, He's above you, below you, beside you, behind you and it's Christ in you, The Hope of Glory, God's manifest Presence in 2026 and in His Presence is fullness of Joy!

If you or someone you know would like to hold a prayer meeting in or around New Mexico, don't hesitate to contact me.

A Blessed 2026 to you and yours with Shalom,

Mark Tross

Subject: "FINALLY!" December 2025 New Mexico Prayer Connect / Prayer At The Heart Of New Mexico (PATH) / COG, NM/El Paso, TX & Southwest Indian Ministries (SWIM) Newsletter2 Corinthians 13:11 (NASB 1995) "Finally, brothers and sisters,
rejoice, mend your ways, be comforted, be like minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with
you."
As we finish off 2025 and prepare for 2026, after giving GOD Thanksgiving in November, so that we could cross the threshold of HIS Gates, we gain access into HIS Courts with Praise, for ALL that HE has done & everything HE's brought us through, as promised In Christ JESUS and look forward with great anticipation to what The LORD has in store for us at the end of December, so let us finish well, as we come to the final stretch of this year!
Paul exhorts us with his closing comments to the Churches in Corinth, Ephesus, Philippi and Thessalonica, but Peter gets the final say in the matter of these Holy Spirit Words of LIFE, as they were moved upon to write these portions of Holy Script. Notice how positive their last Words to the called-out ones, these congregations of GOD are! The Greek Words used in all of these Scripture verses for "FINALLY" in the English language are very rich and meaningful from both human authors, because they expect maximum obedience to everything written prior to their conclusion, so as to bring forth GOD's ultimate prophetic purposes to the uttermost, for complete growth to occur and HIS Good Fruit of The HOLY GHOST to come forth.
Philippians 3:1 (NASB 1995) "Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you."
Like GOD's, "Moses, Moses" or JESUS', "Verily, Verily" & "Truely, Truely," the least of the Apostles, as Paul called himself, the author of the most books in the New Testament tells us, although Luke actually wrote more WORDS, "Rejoice In The LORD/YAHWEH 'ALWAYS' And 'AGAIN' I Say (In The HOLY SPIRIT) REJOICE! I'm certain plenty reading this had ups, downs, ins and outs this year, but GOD Is Working 'ALL' Things Together For Our Good, For Those Who LOVE HIM & Are Called, According To HIS Purposes (Please take the time to reread and meditate upon the explanation for 'FINALLY' above, before continuing below).
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [a] lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [b] dwell on these things (NASB 1995).
Footnotes
Philippians 4:8 Or lovable and gracious
Philippians 4:8 Lit ponder these things.
JESUS Is The TRUTH, everything HE said and did was Honorable & Right, HE's Pure, Lovely, Lovable, Gracious & Good, absolutely Excellent in Every 'WAY' and HE Alone Is Worthy Of ALL Praise, so we should Dwell, Ponder and "Abide In HIM," according to John 15, in order to bear, produce for HIM, Good & Lasting Fruit for HIS Kingdom Of Righteousness, Peace/Shalom & Joy In The HOLY GHOST! HE Is Due ALL Honor & Glory, so turn & fix your eyes upon JESUS, look upon HIM, because HE Is The Author & Finisher of our Faith and without Faith it's Impossible to Please GOD. Hunger and thirst for HIS Righteousness, The Living Bread Of LIFE & the wine of HIS Blood, so rivers of Living Water will flow out of you. Read The WORD daily, out loud if possible, because Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The WORD Of GOD! HE, Who has begun a good work in you will complete it. You'll be transformed by the renewing of your heart and mind.
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will [a] spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you (NASB 1995);
Footnotes
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Lit run.
PRAY continually for those in leadership, your family, friends, coworkers, schoolmates, neighbors and even your enemies, because GOD wishes that none would perish and that ALL would come to Repentance, to turn and think differently, change their minds about what they think or heard about The LORD, but that they would actually be born-again and intimately come to know HIM personally!
1 Peter 3:8 [a] To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit (NASB 1995);
Footnotes
1 Peter 3:8 Or Finally.
To wrap things up during this month of Hanukkah (Read John 10:22-23) & Christmas, I hope that the body of Christ/Messiah/The Anointed ONE, Jew & Gentile, will come together as ONE, according to JESUS' John 17 PRAYER and the book of Ephesians, because this is GOD's Heart's desire! 'Let Us' allow HIM to have HIS WAY with us, individually and corporately, in harmony, every member doing their part, for HIS Kingdom to come and HIS Will to be done on Earth, as It Is In HEAVEN. May HIS SPIRIT and the fruit thereof, as mentioned in Galatians 5, bring Peace/Shalom & Goodwill to ALL humankind. Resist the devil, submit yourself to GOD, humble yourself In HIS Sight and HE Will lift you up, seated in Heavenly Places With HIM. Be filled with The SPIRIT and serve/worship HIM wholeheartedly, trusting that HE has greater things instore for you in 2026!

Jeremiah 23New American Standard Bible 1995The Coming Messiah: the Righteous Branch23 "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!" declares the Lord. 2 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are [a] tending My people: "You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds," declares the Lord. 3 "Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. 4 I will also raise up shepherds over them and they will [b] tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the Lord.5 "Behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord,
"When I will raise up for David a righteous [c] Branch;
And He will reign as king and [d] act wisely
And do justice and righteousness in the land.
6 "In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell securely;
And this is His name by which He will be called,

This writing is not for the faint of heart, but for those of us in the LORD/Yahweh, like Joshua getting ready to take the land, we are told by God to take courage, so remember that we enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Although Paul the Apostle tells us to go boldly into the Holy of Holies, he also, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, commands us to examine ourselves, before entering into communion with our heavenly Father! Since all readers can confirm that we are now closer to Jesus' second coming than when we first believed, I am convinced that the time is short, so we need to be about our Father's business, because we all will give an account, as to how we conducted ourselves, regarding the call and gift upon us and the works that He has called us to do. In the Bible, "woe" is a term that signifies grief, distress, or impending judgment. It serves as a prophetic warning, often highlighting the seriousness of sin and the consequences that follow. The Greek term for "woe" is "ouai," which conveys a sense of lamentation and is used to express a judgment against those who rebel against God. Bible Hub+2For those who participated in the most recent "No Kings' rallies across America and around the world, take note of the following scripture verses, because Jesus/Yeshua is the King of Kings and LORD of all, whether you like it or not! To my praying sisters and brothers, never forget that 2 Chronicles 7:14 is not just about God healing us, but healing the land, because all of creation is groaning and eagerly awaiting for the sons of God to be revealed. Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, preachers, teachers, bishops, elders, deacons and all shepherds of God's flock must take heed to the Word of God laid out before us today, because we are the ones to equip the saints for service in His kingdom of righteousness, peace/shalom and joy in the Holy Ghost!Ecclesiastes 10:16-20New American Standard Bible 199516 Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes [a] feast in the morning. 17 Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for strength and not for drunkenness. 18 Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks. 19 Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money [b] is the answer to everything. 20 Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.Read full chapterFootnotes

Notice the three 'woes' in the following portion of Holy script, read carefully Ezekiel's two 'woes' following and brace yourself for Jesus' eight. More than God's, "Moses, Moses," Jesus' "Verily, verily" or "Truly, truly," understand that when God speaks once, we should all listen and properly respond, but when He doubles down, triples of magnifies His Word eight Times, as He does in Matthew 23, the Church/His Bride, better wake up to reality! He means business. Isa 5:20Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who [fn] substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who [fn] substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!(5:20) Literally: set. Isaiah 33:1New American Standard Bible 1995The Judgment of God33 Woe to you, O destroyer,
While you were not destroyed;
And he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him.
As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed;
As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you.Read full chapterIsaiah 33:1 in all English translations. Isaiah 45:9New American Standard Bible9 "Woe to the one who quarrels with [a] his Maker—
A piece of pottery [b] among the other earthenware pottery pieces!
Will the clay say to the [c] potter, 'What are you doing?'
Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands'?Read full chapterFootnotes

Ezekiel 16:23-2923 "Then it came about after all your wickedness ('Woe, woe to you!' declares the Lord God),24 that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a high place in every square.25 You built yourself a high place at the top of every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry.26 You also played the harlot with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and multiplied your harlotry to make Me angry.27 Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct.28 Moreover, you played the harlot with the Assyrians because you were not satisfied; you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.29 You also multiplied your harlotry with the land of merchants, Chaldea, yet even with this you were not satisfied."'"Matthew 23:13-36New American Standard BibleEight Woes13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter it yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.[a] 15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one [b] proselyte; and when he becomes one, you [c] make him twice as much a son of [d] hell as yourselves.16 "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the [e] temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the [f] temple is obligated.' 17 You fools and blind men! Which is [g] more important, the gold or the [h ]temple that sanctified the gold? 18 And you say, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the [i] offering that is on it is obligated.' 19 You blind men, which is [j]more important, the [k] offering or the altar that sanctifies the [l] offering? 20 Therefore, the one who swears by the altar, swears both by [m] the altar and by everything on it. 21 And the one who swears by the [n] temple, swears both by [o] the temple and by Him who dwells in it. 22 And the one who swears by [p] heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and [q] cumin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, who [r] strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full [s] of robbery and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the [t] outside of it may also become clean.27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you too, outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 and you say, 'If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31 So you testify against yourselves, that you are [u] sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 [v] Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You snakes, you [w] offspring of vipers, how [x]will you escape the [y] sentence of [z] hell?34 "Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you will fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the [aa] temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.Read full chapterFootnotes

After prayerfully reading over the above warnings from God, we must look to the future, the following Revelation of Jesus Christ. Always remember that God is Love, He wishes none would perish and all would come to repentance! His Word is to bring correction, discipline if necessary, but it's always meant to bring us to His total healing and full restoration, should we choose to accept it, but if not, judgement is coming. Sooner or later, the curtain drops, the credits roll and it's the end, when God will say, "Enough!" All indications are that Jesus is at the door, so there's no time to waste, we have a job to do, so as mentioned earlier, we have three distinct 'woes' to those who live on the earth from Isaiah the prophet in chapter five of his writings, which contain more Messianic prophecies than any other book in the Bible. As we come to a close, in Revelation 8, we see three confirming 'woes,' the remaining blasts of the trumpet, as the three angels are about to sound. In Revelation 9, the first woe is past, but we're warned once again that two woes are still coming and we're told to behold, literally meaning to fix your gaze upon and use both ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church in our day! Revelation 11 tells us the second woe is past, again to behold and the third and final woe is coming quickly. Jesus says He is coming like a thief in the night, He is coming quickly, no man knows the day or the hour, but for certain, He is coming soon! Like the sons of Issachar, Jashub, Shimron, Tola & Puah, in the books of Genesis & 1 Chronicles 7-14; each and every one of us must discern, understand the days and times we are living in and to know what we ought to do. Throughout biblical history, the tribe of Issachar is portrayed as a stabilizing force that provided crucial wisdom and counsel during periods of change and uncertainty. This wisdom made them effective leaders who could advise the nation and awaken them to freedom! Sisters & brothers, timing is everything and today we need a true spiritual awakening and revival in our city, county, state, nation and the world. Revelation 8:13New American Standard Bible13 Then I looked, and I heard [a] an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"Read full chapterFootnotes

While most will reflect on the start of the American Revolution in Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, the actual phrase originated in the 1837 poem "Concord Hymn," by Ralph Waldo Emerson, commemorating the events of that day, but on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 250 years afterwards, another shot rang out that will certainly change the landscape of these United States and the battle has been raging around the world ever since! Please bear, tolerate and endure with me, as I seek to enlighten you on the spiritual implications of what I believe is presently playing out in the natural realm, on earth, as it is in the heavenlies. Without stepping off into the weeds and certainly not going into numerology, I hope to give you insights into some biblical meanings in the above-mentioned numbers and those to come. From 1775 to 1837 is 62 years, so if we add 6+2=8 & from 1837 to 2025 is 188 years, so if we add 1+8+8=17, then 1+7=8, so the number 8 in the bible symbolizes 'new beginnings, resurrection, and spiritual regeneration.' It follows the number 7, which represents perfection and completion, signifying what comes after it and seven is exactly what you get when you take the 250 years (2+5=7) from 1775-2025 and that's 5 jubilees! The Hebrew word for "eight" sh'moneh, comes from a root that means "to fatten," connecting it to the idea of abundance. The number 8 often denotes something beyond the normal, such as supernatural events or acts of God's power and in a spiritual sense, the number 8 can also represent finding a balance between the spiritual and material worlds. A sideways 8, known as the infinity symbol, signifies limitlessness, eternity, and infinite possibilities in mathematics and other fields. It symbolizes an endless loop with no beginning or end, representing concepts such as endless love, hope, loyalty, continuity, prosperity, and spiritual wholeness across various cultures and disciplines. The symbol may have been inspired by the Roman numeral 1,000 or the Greek letter omega.

He will keep your soul.

Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/The-Soul When we PRAY about "PASSION for SOULS," I think of the Scranton, PA Train Tour I took, before moving to NM 22 years ago. Did you know it could take up to 8 hours of shoveling coal, before the engine gathered up enough steam to start the train moving forward? Think about that in light of our spiritual journey. Perhaps PRAYER, Worship, The WORD, Communion, Fellowship & PRAISE, stirs up the gift within us, to get us moving forward into GOD's Kingdom Purpose for our daily living and taking us where HE wants us to GO! JESUS/Yeshua/Salvation set HIS Face like a flint towards Jerusalem and the KJV tells us, "I Must Needs GO To Jerusalem," when He had a 12 o'clock noon appointment with the Samaritan Woman @ Jacob's Well. In both drama and comedy + our spiritual lives, 'Timing Is EVERYTHING,' so it's best to be in GOD's Timing and not just ours. I facilitate a weekly PRAYER hour, every Tuesday morning 7-8am MT for ProjectPray.Org representing NM, PRAYING for our state, America and the WORLD @ 518-318-7117 so you and other like-minded believers are always welcome to JOIN in, as we're PRAYING for awakening and revival to come to our state, the nation and for the unreached people groups of the world. PRAY that front-line workers will find creative, effective approaches to sharing the gospel in the Maldives. The government of Vietnam imposes some restrictions, while local authorities and community members violently persecute Christians in rural areas. Christian converts are persecuted by family members. Today, as you PRAY through Psalms 23 & 91, 'The LORD's PRAYER,' in Matthew 6:5-13 & Luke 11:1-4 + JESUS' John 17 PRAYER, READ, Meditate & PRAY through the above verses of Holy Script and allow GOD to lead and guide you throughout your day!

Prayer for Protection, Guidance and Pardon.

A Psalm of David.

25 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, in You I trust,
Do not let me be ashamed;
Do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
[a] Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

4 Make me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day.
6 Remember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been [b] from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
According to Your lovingkindness remember me,
For Your goodness' sake, O Lord.

8 Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
9 He leads the [c] humble in justice,
And He teaches the [d] humble His way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth
To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 For Your name's sake, O Lord,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man who fears the Lord?
He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will abide in [e] prosperity,
And his [f] descendants will inherit the [g] land.
14 The [h] secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
[i] And He will make them know His covenant.
15 My eyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will [j] pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am lonely and afflicted.
17 [k] The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon my affliction and my [l] trouble,
And forgive all my sins.
19 Look upon my enemies, for they are many,
And they hate me with violent hatred.
20 Guard my soul and deliver me;
Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.
22 Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all his troubles.

HE hears our PRAYERS and as we ASK, according to HIS WORD, Will & WAY, we have HIS BLESSED Assurance that HE WATCHES over HIS WORD to Perform It and ALL GOD's Promises Are YES & AMEN In JESUS, they shall surely come to pass. PRAY that many will hear and respond to the gospel in Kyrgyzstan and for the government that persecutes Christians outside govern-sanctioned denominations in Turkmenistan.
