Prosperity Gospel Deceiver Paula White Tells Followers To Send Her One Month Of Their Salary To ‘Honor God’
Paula White, who heads up the president’s evangelical advisory committee, suggested making a donation to her ministries to honor the religious principle of “first fruit,” which she said is the idea that all firsts belong to God, including the first harvest and, apparently, the first month of your salary.
Paula White, who heads up the president’s evangelical advisory committee, suggested making a donation to her ministries to honor the religious principle of “first fruit,” which she said is the idea that all firsts belong to God, including the first harvest and, apparently, the first month of your salary.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Prosperity Gospel is based on half-truths, lots of lies, and appeals to the innate sense of greed found even in those of us who have been born again. One of the most shameless hucksters of this non-biblical and false system is Paula White. Watch as she looks into the camera, and tells you that the ‘Bible says’ you need to send her ‘one month’s salary’ as a way to ‘honor God’. If not, she warns, you will face non-specific consequences for not complying. Tithing is not for Christians, and no set amount was ever given to any believer in the Church Age by the apostle Paul. Paula White is a fraud, a con artist, and the ease with which she preaches these bold faced lies casts serious doubt on her even having been saved.
“The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:21 (KJV)
“Right now I want you to click on that button, and I want you to honor God with his first fruits offering,” she said in a video shared to her website, in which she encourages her followers to donate to her ministries to get blessings from God.
Pay Paula one month’s salary or face the consequences!
“If God doesn’t divinely step in and intervene, I don’t know what you’re going to face—he does,” she said.
Explaining the principle of the donations, the Pentecostal televangelist, who has recently spoken out in defense of Trump’s mental health following claims in a tell-all book that the president is unwell, suggested that people would reap rewards after donating to her.
“January is the beginning of a new year for us in the Western world. Let us give to God what belongs to him: the first hours of our day, the first month of the year, the first of our increase, the first in every area of our life. It’s devoted…. The principle of first fruits is that when you give God the first, he governs the rest and redeems in,” she said.
“When you honor this principle, it provides the foundation and structure for God’s blessings and promises in your life. It unlocks deep dimensions of spiritual truths that literally transform your life. When you apply this, everything comes in divine alignment for his plan and promises for you. When you don’t honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience, there are consequences.”
White was among a number of televangelists who were examined after Republican Senator Charles Grassley launched a 2007 investigation into the finances of ministries that solicit millions of dollars in donations. However, the report, published in 2011, did not draw any firm conclusions of wrongdoing.
In her newest video, Paula White encourages people to send her money, stating, “Each January, I put God first and honor him with the first of our substance by sowing a first fruits offering of one month’s pay. That is a big sacrifice, but it is a seed for the harvest I am believing for in the coming year. And God always provides!”
Those who send White money, which she suggests belongs to God, will see positive consequences, she claims.
“When you sow a First Fruits Offering of $75 or more, I will rush to you the book, the devotional and also a Paula White 2018 wall calendar! Track throughout the entire year prioritizing God with me!” her website says. source
THE BIBLE SHOWS THREE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO TITHED
The teaching of tithing for Christians is not limited to only the heretical Prosperity Movement, I have been in many hardcore, fundamental, King James Only Baptist churches that are constantly telling their congregants to “give their tithe”. So what does the Bible have to say about tithing for Christians living in the age of grace?
In the Bible, we see three groups of people who tithed, and they are as follows:
- Abraham
- Israelites living under the Old Testament Law of Moses
- The Pharisees as mentioned in Matthew and Luke
#1). Abraham’s tithe was a one time only event with a deeper meaning. The Bible records that Abraham, after the battle to return his capture nephew Lot, met in the way both Melchizedek and the King of Sodom. Abraham gave a tenth of Lot’s returned goods to Melchizedek while at the same time refusing to receive anything from the King of Sodom. The message here about Abraham’s loyalties are crystal-clear.
“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”Genesis 14:18-24 (KJV)
When Abraham chose to give a tithe to the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ in the form of Melchizedek, and refused to accept anything from the king of wicked and soon to be destroyed Sodom, we see why he was called “the friend of God”. In the very next chapter, we see God rewarding Abraham for making the right choice:
“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1 (KJV)
No where in any of this account is a command given, and you will note that Abraham was not commanded to tithe. He did it as a free will offering. Hmm….just like a Christian in the New Testament.
#2). Jews under the Old Testament Law were commanded to tithe. The second time we see tithing is in Leviticus, and it is a command to tithe of the land and of the cattle.
“And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land,or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S: it is holy unto the LORD. And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.” Leviticus 27:30-34 (KJV)
You will note that the context of the passage shows us that tithing as a command was given by Moses to the children of Israel, the Jews. Christians in the Age of Grace are not the “children of Israel”. Born again Christians are the children of God, not of Israel.
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:26-29 (KJV)
Interestingly, this verse shows up in the same context of Christians being called the “seed of Abraham” in verse 29. Abraham who gave a free will offering, and not figured as from Moses who commanded tithing.
#3). The Pharisees in the New Testament were tithers. When we read about people who tithes in the New Testament, it is of note to observe that they were being rebuked by Jesus Christ for their hypocritical following of the Law of Moses. Tithing here is mentioned in a very negative context.
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”Matthew 23:23 (KJV)
Need we say more? Let’s move on.
THERE IS NO NEW TESTAMENT COMMAND FOR ANY CHRISTIAN TO GIVE A TITHE TO THEIR CHURCH
Search the New Testament from Matthew 1 to Revelation 22 and you will find no commands for a Christian to tithe their money to their church. It does not exist. Paul, the apostle for the Church Age whose writings are our doctrine, only mentions giving a few times. Here is the main verse he wrote for us:
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV)
And there you have the New Testament, rightly divided doctrine of Biblical giving for Christians in the Church Age.God leaves it up to the Christian themselves to determine how much and how often they want to give to the church. God wants you to do it because you have a sincere and honest desire to see the work of the Church continue. Not because you expect a blessing from it, not because some greedy pastor shamed you into it, but because you in your heart want to do it.
But the notion that Christians are to, every Sunday, sit down and write a 10% check of their weekly income and give it to their pastor is not only unbiblical but I believe demonic. There are millions of poor Christians who, because of false teaching on tithing, take the money that should be used to put food on the table and power the light bill and give it to a millionaire pastor living in a mansion. Churches need money to operate on, yes that’s true. But so much of today’s building programs and fund raising only serve to increase the personal wealth of the pastor and those at the top.
If your church preaches on tithing more than once a year, find a new church and save your offering for people actually trying to get the gospel out. Take a moment and read some of the Bible verses never preached by the Prosperity Gospel crowd:
“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”1 Timothy 6:6-10 (KJV)

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Good Fight
The Good Fight Of Faith Calls Every Christian To Stand In God’s Armour, Finish Their Course, Keep The Faith And Live For The Crown Promised To Those Who Love His Appearing
The good fight begins with the courage to obey God when obedience costs you something. Joshua needed that courage to lead Israel forward, and Paul called Timothy to exercise it in the spiritual warfare of the Christian life. There will be opposition to the truth, temptation to compromise, and days when the weariness of serving makes quitting seem attractive. Those are the very circumstances in which faithfulness matters. The Lord has given us His word, entrusted us with the gospel, and commanded us to stand. Every believer needs to take that charge personally.
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12 (KJB)
Fighting that good fight requires both sound doctrine and a good conscience. The truth we preach must govern the life we live. Paul warns about making shipwreck, commands us to put on the whole armour of God, and identifies the word of God as the sword of the Spirit. We need that Book open, our hearts responsive to its correction, and our prayer lives active. False teaching must be answered, temptation must be resisted, and thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God must be brought into obedience to Christ. This warfare reaches into our homes, our churches, our preaching, and the private decisions nobody else sees. God supplies the power to stand. Near the end of his life, Paul could look back and testify that he had fought a good fight, finished his course, and kept the faith. Then he looked ahead to the righteous Judge who would reward his service. That ought to put fresh determination into every weary Christian who still has work to do. The Lord knows what faithfulness has cost you. He sees the quiet obedience, the continued labour, and the decision to keep going when you feel spent. Keep serving with His appearing in view. Paul’s expectation reaches beyond his own testimony to every believer who loves the Lord’s appearing. Do you? That’s the question we ask today on this Sunday Service on the good fight.
The Bible Believers Sunday Service: The Good Fight
The Good Fight
Main Text
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12 (KJB)
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJB)
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:8 (KJB)
Central Truth: The Lord calls the Christian to spiritual warfare, supplies the weapons for the battle, and will judge and reward faithful service. We are to fight the good fight, finish our course, keep the faith, and love His appearing.
Introduction: Paul told Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. Near the end of his own life, Paul could testify that he had fought, finished, and kept the faith. The instructions became a lived testimony, followed by the expectation of a crown. The Old Testament teaches us about courage, obedience, and dependence upon the LORD. Rightly dividing the word of truth keeps Israel’s commanded military battles in their historical setting while applying Paul’s explicit instructions about the church’s spiritual warfare.
“Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.” 1 Timothy 1:16 (KJB)
I. The LORD Calls His People To Courageous Obedience
Main Text
“Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:7 (KJB)
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 (KJB)
“And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.” Joshua 10:25 (KJB)
The LORD joined Joshua’s courage to obedience: he was to be strong so that he would observe God’s law. God’s command and God’s presence gave Joshua a reason to go forward. Later, Joshua encouraged his captains with the assurance he had received. The promises concern Israel’s possession of the land, and the lesson for us is clear: faith in what God has said gives courage to do what He commands.
Application: Identify the instruction from Scripture you already know you need to obey. Fear of opposition must be faced with confidence in the Lord. Encourage other believers to obey Him by directing them to His word.
II. Fight The Battles Of The LORD In Dependence Upon Him
Main Text
“And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:47 (KJB)
“Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.” 2 Samuel 10:12 (KJB)
“I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.” 1 Samuel 25:28 (KJB)
“And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.” 1 Samuel 25:33 (KJB)
David faced Goliath with confidence that the battle belonged to the LORD. Joab urged courage for the people and entrusted the outcome to God. Abigail described David as fighting the LORD’s battles while urging him to abandon his intended vengeance against Nabal’s household. David thanked her for keeping him from bloodshed. A servant who fights faithfully must receive God’s correction as readily as he faces opposition.
Application: Bring the cause you defend and the methods you use under Scripture. Depend upon God’s strength, accept sound correction, and exercise restraint when personal anger threatens to govern your actions.
III. Join Courage With Steadfast Faith And Charity
Main Text
“Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.” 1 Samuel 4:9 (KJB)
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.” 1 Corinthians 16:13,14 (KJB)
In 1 Samuel 4:9, the Philistines are encouraging one another to fight Israel. Their courage alone does not establish God’s approval of their cause. The expression “quit yourselves like men” calls for courageous, resolute conduct. Paul uses that language while expressly directing Christians to stand fast in the faith. He immediately joins their strength to charity. Christian courage must be governed by the truth and exercised with love.
Application: Stand firmly for sound doctrine. Speak and act with charity toward the people you seek to help. Examine both the truth of your position and the spirit in which you defend it.
IV. War A Good Warfare Holding Faith And A Good Conscience
Main Text
“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:” 1 Timothy 1:18,19 (KJB)
Paul charges Timothy to war a good warfare and reminds him of the prophecies previously made concerning him. The next verse identifies what Timothy must hold while carrying out that charge: faith and a good conscience. Doctrine and personal integrity belong together in faithful ministry. Paul’s warning about shipwreck shows the seriousness of rejecting the conscience’s testimony under God’s word.
Application: Keep believing God’s word and responding honestly to its correction. Confess known sin, make wrongs right where you can, and refuse to excuse conduct that undermines the truth you teach.
V. Use The Weapons God Supplies To Pull Down Strong Holds
Main Text
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (KJB)
Truth: While defending his apostolic ministry, Paul explains the nature of his warfare. Its power comes through God. The strong holds in this passage are described through imaginations and proud opposition to the knowledge of God. The stated objective is obedience to Christ. We apply this by confronting false teaching with Scripture and bringing our own assumptions, desires, and reasoning under its authority.
Application: Answer error with the word of God. Examine what governs your thinking, seek understanding in prayer, and obey the truth you understand. Depend upon God as you teach and seek to persuade others.
VI. Put On The Whole Armour Of God
Main Text
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;” Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJB)
Truth: Paul identifies the spiritual opposition and tells believers where their strength must come from. The repeated command to stand requires the whole armour God supplies. Each part belongs in the Christian’s daily walk.
- Truth governs what we believe and how honestly we live.
- Righteousness calls us to an upright walk before God.
- The gospel of peace prepares our feet for faithful service.
- Faith trusts God while facing the wicked one’s assaults.
- Salvation gives the believer confidence in God’s saving work.
- The word of God is the sword of the Spirit and must be known and used faithfully.
- Prayer and watchfulness express continual dependence upon God and concern for all saints.
Application: Give Scripture, prayer, and obedience a settled place in your day. Take spiritual opposition seriously, and pray for other believers who are facing it. The command is to put on the whole armour.
VII. Endure Hardness And Please The One Who Chose You
Main Text
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5 (KJB)
Truth: The good soldier endures hardship and keeps his service directed toward pleasing the one who enlisted him. Entanglements interfere with that duty. Paul’s next illustration adds that the contestant must strive lawfully to receive the crown. The Lord has authority over both the work and the way it is done. Faithfulness includes endurance, proper priorities, and obedience to His instructions.
Application: Examine the commitments and habits that repeatedly draw you away from your responsibilities to the Lord. Order ordinary work and family duties faithfully, and remove entanglements that prevent you from serving Him.
VIII. Finish The Course Entrusted To You
Main Text
“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 (KJB)
Truth: In Acts, Paul expresses his determination to finish his course and fulfill the ministry he received from the Lord Jesus. In 2 Timothy 4:7, he testifies that he has finished it. The years between those statements involved suffering, labour, and continued obedience. His example teaches us to persevere in the responsibilities God has given us. A faithful beginning must be followed by faithful continuance.
Application: Do the work the Lord has already placed before you. Serve your family and church, bear witness to the gospel, and use the opportunities He gives you. Take the next faithful step when the whole course feels long.
IX. Keep The Faith When Sound Doctrine Is Rejected
Main Text
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4 (KJB)
Truth: Paul’s testimony that he kept the faith follows his charge to preach the word. He warns Timothy that people will reject sound doctrine and choose teachers who satisfy their desires. The minister must continue to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with longsuffering and doctrine. Keeping the faith includes preserving the truth in our teaching and continuing to obey it when hearers resist it.
Application: Measure teaching by the King James Bible and handle its passages in their proper context. Teach the next generation. Remain patient with people while maintaining the doctrine Scripture gives you.
X. Live For The Righteous Judge And The Coming Crown
Main Text
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:8 (KJB)
“If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” 1 Corinthians 3:14,15 (KJB)
Truth: Paul’s testimony about fighting, finishing, and keeping the faith leads into his expectation of a crown. The Lord who knows his service is the righteous Judge who will reward it. The crown of righteousness is expressly promised to all who love His appearing. First Corinthians also distinguishes a servant’s reward from his salvation: work may abide and receive reward, or burn and bring loss, while the servant himself is saved. The Christian’s service matters eternally.
Application: Live in expectation of meeting Christ. Let love for His appearing shape today’s choices, and seek His approval in the work that others may never notice. The righteous Judge will assess your service faithfully.
Application
To The Believer: Take your place in the good fight. Put on God’s armour, keep your conscience clear, and fulfill the responsibilities Scripture places before you.
To The Preacher And Teacher: Preach the word with longsuffering and doctrine. Equip the saints to recognize error, obey Scripture, and stand in the strength of the Lord.
To The Weary Servant: Bring your weariness to the Lord in prayer. Receive help from faithful believers, and continue in the work He has given you. Your labour in the Lord has lasting value.
Closing Challenge
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJB)
Examine your service before the Lord. What truth must you stand for? What entanglement must you remove? What neglected duty must you resume? Take the next step of obedience today.
Keep fighting the good fight, finish your course, keep the faith, and love His appearing.

As Drought And The Lowest Corn Production In 50 Years Rages Across Kenya, We Remain Committed To Feeding The Children Of Glory Fellowship Orphanage
Operation Africa! has accomplished a lot, but there remains much work left to do in helping the children of Glory Fellowship Orphanage to become self-sufficient and have food security
All summer long, an intense dry spell produced a drought that devastated the northern Rift Valley in Kenya and western grain-producing counties, causing the largest national corn production drop in 50 years. The anticipated October–December short rains got off to a slow start due to a low-pressure system over the northern Indian Ocean. Kenya faces a massive maize import shortfall of roughly 2.3 million tons to bridge the food supply gap as household budgets and staple food prices come under heavy strain. All this has put the orphans we support at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in a very precarious position, and the LORD is telling us to ‘stay in the game’.
“He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.” Luke 3:11 (KJB)
To date, the LORD has allowed us to accomplish some amazing work with the orphans He has placed in our charge. We gave them beds and blankets, Bibles, medicine to heal malaria and typhoid, a well producing clean water and a 10,000 liter tank to store it in, and the planting of Maria’s Hope Garden that has already begun providing some fresh produce. Oh, almost forgot about the two cows we sent them as well. All of that is miraculous and necessary for their daily survival, but it doesn’t touch their daily staple needs like cooking oil, salt, maize, rice, beans and bananas. Pastor Dancan message me this morning and said “We used to receive food donations from local markets the leftovers but due to the ongoing drought, it has become almost impossible to get food support from them nowadays.” For the past several weeks, we have been supplying these staples for the orphans at a cost of $1,010.00 per week. Dancan told me today that their food ran out two days ago, and that the children have had nothing to eat but some cow’s milk. Praise the LORD for supplying the cows, but milk alone will not keep these precious little souls nourished.
Christian, God has given us an amazing open door in Kenya to show 84 orphans the love of Jesus by supplying their ‘daily bread’ until the drought resolves and they can become fully self-sufficient. Please pray for this outreach, and come help us. We need you, and more importantly, these orphans need you!!

The Eye Of The Hurricane: The World Goes Eerily Quiet As America Braces For Midterm Elections, The Next Phase Of The Iran War, And Soaring Prices
There is something almost surreal taking place in the world this morning. After months of relentless warfare in the Middle East, economic upheaval, political chaos and increasingly frightening international headlines, we appear to have entered what can best be described as the eye of the hurricane. The end times hurricane. We have reached that strange, deceptive moment when the winds temporarily subside, the skies seem to clear, and everything becomes eerily quiet. But anyone who has ever lived through a major hurricane, and here in Florida we’ve lived through a bunch of them, knows that the eye is not the end of the storm. It is the brief interval between the devastation you have already experienced and the devastation that’s still coming. The most dangerous thing you can do while standing in the eye of a hurricane is convince yourself that the storm is over. I’m here to tell you it’s not, not by a long shot.
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.” Jeremiah 25:32 (KJB)
Meanwhile, the political storm gathering over Washington is becoming impossible to ignore. This morning, the Drudge Report is leading with an extraordinary headline, “SOS MAGA — FINAL DAYS OF TRUMP PARTY,” accompanied by a photograph of a slumbering President Donald Trump sitting with his eyes closed while Vice President JD Vance stands askance behind him. The headline perfectly captures the political anxiety surrounding the November 3 midterm elections. Recent national polling shows Trump’s approval ratings dropping like a rock, with the cost of living, inflation and the economy remaining major concerns for American voters. At the same time, the war with Iran has become inseparable from the political calendar. American and Israeli military planners have reportedly developed options for renewed strikes after the elections, while the White House insists there will be no American attacks before voters go to the polls. What an extraordinary situation! The timing of a potential new military offensive is being discussed in the same breath as an American election, while the American people struggle with the economic consequences of a war that remains dangerously unresolved.
And while the politicians count votes, the world continues counting the cost. Oil prices are climbing toward their Iran-war highs, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains dangerous, and Tehran is openly threatening retaliation against Gulf energy facilities, airports, undersea communications cables and artificial intelligence infrastructure if another American-Israeli attack takes place. Israel is preparing expanded military operations in the West Bank, even as its own election approaches. Wall Street is wrestling with market volatility and growing concerns over the enormous amounts of money pouring into artificial intelligence. Cybersecurity researchers are warning about serious vulnerabilities threatening websites and computer systems around the world. These are not isolated headlines. They are interconnected fault lines running through a global system that has become increasingly dependent on uninterrupted energy supplies, digital infrastructure, international commerce and political stability. One major disruption in the wrong place could send shock waves across several of these systems at once.
But here is what I find most fascinating about this particular moment in time: everything seems to be waiting for something else. Washington is waiting for November 3. Israel is preparing for their October 27th elections and whatever comes next with Iran. Tehran is calculating how much economic pressure it can exert before the American elections. Financial markets are watching energy prices, interest rates and the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence industry. And millions of ordinary people like me and you are simply trying to make ends meet while wondering what fresh crisis tomorrow’s headlines will bring. There is a peculiar unnerving tension in watching so many unresolved problems accumulate without knowing which one will become the next great international emergency.
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are watching a world attempting to manage tremendous instability while still assuring itself that tomorrow will look something like yesterday. We don’t know what will happen after November 3, whether the Iran war will explode into another round of fighting, or what new economic or geopolitical crisis may be waiting around the corner. But the first half of the storm has already shown us how quickly the world can change. The question now is what waits us on the other side of it.

- “Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
- “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced
- “I really enjoy the emails and Bible studies! I haven’t found a church and enjoy your services very much! Be blessed brother!” Marcia Mann
- “You and your organization are on the front lines in the Battle For Truth…. current events, end times, and trying to awaken a sleeping Laodicean Church. Thank you brother for fighting for us and all your teaching and insight God bless…” Daniel Cartrette
- I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio. You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures. I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to. I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too. You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture. Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
- “Thank you for the work you are doing brother. Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time. Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord. God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation. How can we praise Him enough? How can we not share this good news!? I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa

- “I give because not many news outlets are brave enough or Godly enough to tell these stories from a Christian’s point of view. I see stories here that will not be seen anywhere else.” William Grayshaw
- “It’s hard to find solid biblical teaching in America these days. It’s a blessing to be able to take part in a ministry financially without being concerned about false teaching. All glory to God! God bless!” Maximilian Swan
- “I donate because you are reporting the truth about the increasing wickedness of our time, as God’s word foretold. In so doing we are reminded to “Keep looking up” as we wait in joyful hope for the Lord’s coming, Maranatha! ” Anthony Sloane
- “Geoffrey has the best End Times News out there. I have been receiving his emails for years now and always enjoy his Sunday night messages although I don’t always think exactly as he thinks. We are all in this “boat of life” together and as I come to the end of my life’s journey here, I am more aware of Jesus’s call for us to be one as He and the Father are One.” Deborah Cleaveland
