NOTES: Tom says, I’m not a pastor, prophet, or even a good teacher, just a dude that loves the Lord and really loves talking about the Lord and hanging out. Suggests sweet tea and chicken teriyaki over fried rice and hang out with an old friend and a fellow servant of the Lord. 

Tom gives Scriptures about prayer. 

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, Philippians 4: 6-7 peace that surpasses our understanding, amazing. 1 John 5: 14, ask according to His will, not ours and He hears us. Colossians 4: 2 praise and prayer. Jeremiah 29: 12, Mark 11: 24, Romans 12;12, Psalm 145: 18. 

Tom says yes, we are waiting for the rapture, to be face to face with Him. Tom says remember He is here with us right now. If you belong to Him, He is always right there for us. Tom says no matter how much we pray when we are face to face with Jesus we will wonder why we didn’t pray, talk to Him more.

Tom says seeing more and more evil every day. The darker the world is the brighter the message. 

News:

In Prague, at the Czech Republic yesterday at Charles University was the deadliest attack in their history. A shooting that killed 14 and injured 25. The first ever school or college shooting there. 

Tom says cling to Jesus. It is getting darker until He comes for us.

7 Israel International News: Israel is considering other proposals to Hamas to convince Hamas to back down from its demands and allow progress to lead to a significant deal for release of hostages. Offering 2 weeks or longer, in exchange for release of dozens of hostages. 

Tom says we get conflicting messages. Netanyahu says no way stopping it then negotiating.

Israel Today: Hamas heavily pressuring Israel to accept permanent Gaza ceasefire if it wants to see the remainder of hostages returned alive. Tom says we don’t even know how many hostages are alive. We pray. 

The Red Cross isn’t visiting them. Says any other country they likely would be. 

Times of Israel: More strikes on the Israel, at the Lebanon border. Tom wonders how long will this go on. Still believes this is the war that leads to the rapture.

Amir: Houthis and Iranians aren’t happy. British media reports Saudi Arabia will join US coalition to guard Red Sea. The Pentagon confirms 20 countries will participate.

Israel Today: Israel soldiers on N. border and complaining they feel like sitting ducks. Hezbollah attacks increasing. Says this is war in every sense of the word. Tom says, God is in control. 

Putin vows aid and urges a halt to Gaza fighting. Putin told Abbas it promises to continue to provide Gaza Strip with aid such as essential goods, medicines, medical equipment. Urges peaceful resolution between Israel and Hamas. Tom says not possible when they want Israel dead. 

Reports say a record low of  snow especially across the US. Tom comments that where he lives, in NE Connecticut this is their second winter with virtually no snow. Remembers most years they had a lot of snow.

The volcano in Indonesia erupted again today. 

5.3 earthquake in Turkey and felt in Syria. 6.1 off the coast of Alaska. Past 24 hours: 24 over 4.0, 10 over 5.0 and 1 over 6.0. 

Bubba News: Facial recognition is being used for subway payments in Japan, Kazakistan, and Russia. Eventually being set up to scan foreheads. More cities experimenting with face biometrics in public transportation. A city in Japan allows tram passengers to pay with their faces. Works with a bank, called face pay. In May Russia had 320,000 using it. The subways system biometric surveillance is used to track activists, journalists, and members of its opposition. Tom says Bible prophecy, tomorrow’s news today.

Tom says his wife was shocked when she went into Whole Foods and saw the palm pay. It is optional now but they say in mid 2024 all Whole Foods will be palm pay.

Tom says we here are waiting for the rapture. Says one day he won’t be here, and neither will most of you. 

Daily Mail: UFO caught in camera hovering over Air Force 1 at LAX during Biden’s fundraising trip to LA. Says “Biden’s December visit to Tinseltown for a campaign fundraiser caused such a hullabaloo even aliens wanted to see what all the fuss was about.” Says plane spotters caught a UFO on camera. The spherical white or silver object was filmed several times over LAX airport and spotted by multiple witnesses. Saying, is it a balloon, or alien probe searching for intelligent life? Tom jokes and says, none in DC! They say it gave up after less than an hour. Caused such a stir on social media due to its resemblance to a metallic orb UFO caught on camera by reaper drones in Middle East and studied by the government official UFO office. Tom says likely they will say of the rapture, UFO’s. UFO is demonic, demons.

Insider Paper: China developing brain warfare. Devices that make people sleep and thought controlled weapons. Enemies fall asleep and influence weapons to advance military technologies and achieve victory without traditional weapons. Tom says during war just put them to sleep. Suggest just have them read some of the UN documents! Go to sleep so fast! Ha, ha clown world! 

Comments; Says her dad went to be with the Lord March 2023. Had the same message, won’t be long until we see him again. His last words to her were, I’m not afraid of pain, look at what Jesus went through for us.

Says lost her 42 year old beautiful daughter in September, went to be with Jesus. Says at times she can actually feel Jesus next to her. Praises God for His Son. 

Said his workplace had a Hogwarts party yesterday. They refused to call it Christmas. But many of his coworkers displaying nativity scenes despite the hostility the company is displaying.

Jesus come soon.

Tom agrees with the comment, we are almost Home. This is not our home, we are waiting to go Home. Where we will finally feel like we belong. His heart aches for those who don’t know Jesus and what He did and reject Him. We have a place we can go to for eternity where loved unconditionally. All the sin gone. Together with the King of kings and Lord of lords in perfection for eternity. No pain, crying, just love. 

Gospel: No remission of sin without the shedding of blood. Did it because He loves us and wants to spend eternity with us. Tom warns the people that don’t believe in Jesus of hell. Some ask questions about people that go to hell. Tom says a pastor said one time that the people that are in hell would hear and still reject Jesus every day for the next 10,000 years. Never come to the Lord. 

Jesus, the Creator, came to earth fully God and fully man. Fulfilled the law perfectly. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Have faith in the power of the blood and believe in Jesus finished work. 

Be saved, going to heaven with the body of Christ for eternity! Incredible place, no eye has seen or ear has heard what He has in store for us.

Testimonies:

@maryanderson5443

I was 9 when I accepted Jesus as my Savior. Sitting in balcony, in a revival, told Mom I needed to go. She said I should have gone before the service. I said no, I need to go down there and accept Jesus. Belonged to Him ever since. No doubt.

@heatherm4783

I came to the Lord as a young child. 

Went on to become a single mom of 2 girls, 26 & 11. 

I recently lost my special needs 11 year old, Emily Grace. Suddenly. Tragically. Not due to her special needs. 

Boy was I tried & tested for those 11yrs. From watching my child suffer, homelessness, loss of my mom, financial strife, abandonment from husband, friends & family, etc. BUT God. Somehow/someway I’m still standing (barely) thanks be to God. He wants me here for some reason. Thru it all still blessed. I will never stop putting my hope & faith in Jesus. He’s my rock. Looking forward to my blessed hope, just looks so different without my Emily.
