Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban has confirmed to ESPN that he directed his team to stop playing the national anthem before home basketball games.
In case you haven’t noticed, America is in the midst of a radical civil war, and the very ideals on which this nation was founded are being torn to the ground and set on fire. When I was a kid, my WWII Army Air Force veteran father told me that men he had gone to school with gave their lives to protect our flag, and because of that it was special and should be treated with respect. In our day, the American flag and our National Anthem are so despised by the radical Left that they’re no longer deemed fit to have a place at silly game like basketball.
UPDATE: Despite an order from Mavs Owner Mark Cuban to not play the anthem reportedly because “many feel it does not represent them,” the league has stepped-in and mandated that “all teams” will play the anthem before games.
Black Lives Matter has nothing at all to do with ‘ending racial injustice’ or stopping ‘police brutality’, it is about bringing in a radical Marxist agenda loosely based around the black supremacy movement of Liberation Theology. It is nothing less than war and on a variety of levels. In 2020, I did not watch one minute of any professional sports game, and in 2021 I blissfully ignored the Super Bowl with its idiotic commercials and demonic Half Time Show. Hit them where it hurts and stop watching all professional sports, don’t buy any merchandise and let their businesses fall into receivership. If every Christian in America would do that, the effect would be overwhelming and immediate. Game on.
Dallas Mavericks Stop Playing National Anthem Before Home Games At Command Of Mark Cuban
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The move is not temporary and the team has no anticipation of resuming the long-standing tradition. The Mavericks have now become the first major American sports team to officially end the playing of the national anthem.
The Mavericks have not played the anthem before any of their 13 preseason and regular-season games. Though, until now, Cuban had not publicly confirmed the policy change. Cuban decided to stop playing the anthem after consultation with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, according to ESPN.
The NBA’s rulebook requires players to stand during the national anthem, but Silver has declined to enforce that rule, particularly as kneeling during the anthem became a popular way to protest social injustice in recent years. The vast majority of NBA players and many coaches kneeled during the national anthem during the NBA’s restart last summer in Orlando, Florida, when the league incorporated messaging supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and other social justice causes in the court design and other ways.
Mark Cuban has supported the desire of NBA players to kneel during the anthem as a form of protest.
“Whether it’s holding their arm up in the air, whether it’s taking a knee, whatever it is, I don’t think this is an issue of respect or disrespect to the flag or to the anthem or to our country,” Cuban told ESPN’s Outside the Lines in June. “I think this is more a reflection of our players’ commitment to this country and the fact that it’s so important to them that they’re willing to say what’s in their heart and do what they think is right.
“I’ll defer to Silver on any final judgments and [players’ union executive director] Michele Roberts. But the reality is, my hope is we’ll let the players do exactly what they think is the right thing to do.”
The anthem-kneeling movement began in the summer of 2016 when then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat, and then knelt during the playing of the anthem. Kaepernick claimed his decision to kneel was a form of protest against racial injustice and police brutality. Since that time, the practice of kneeling during the anthem has been adopted by Major League Baseball players, NBA players, MLS and World Cup soccer players, and Olympic athletes. READ MORE

We Gave A Bible To Maria At Glory Fellowship Church, And She Used It To Read It To Her Lost Dad Every Day For Two Weeks, He Got Saved And Given His Own Bible
From A Life Of Theft Since Age 12 To New Life In Jesus Christ, Jared Was Saved After Hearing The Bible Read To Him By His Own Child, Maria from Glory Fellowship Church in Kenya
A few months ago, we launched Operation Africa! in Kisii, Kenya, putting over 1,000 Bibles into the hands of Pastor Dancan and the Glory Fellowship Church and Orphanage. Since that time, the church has seen a wonderful influx of new people, many of whom became members, and an increase in the number of children taken care of by the orphanage. Maria has been attending the church for the past two years. She was given a Bible by us, and she faithfully began reading it to her father, Jared, who got saved! Here now is his amazing salvation story.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”Romans 10:17 (KJB)
Pastor Dancan writes:“Today during our church service, a young man came forward to share a wonderful testimony. He told us that he gave his life to Jesus because his child, who has been attending our church, has been reading the Bible to him every day for the past two weeks. He shared that he had been a thief since the age of 12, but through hearing God’s Word from his own child, his heart was transformed. Today, he made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. Pastor, the Bibles you generously gifted to us are changing lives and touching many souls. As we welcomed him into our church family, we presented him with a Bible of his own so that he can continue to grow in his faith. Thank you for your generosity and for partnering with us in spreading the Gospel. May God continue to bless you abundantly.” Praise the Lord, what a blessing! For them, and for us.
Christian, this is what missions are all about. The sending out of God’s word to the ends of the Earth, the raising up people to plant and minister the gospel to the lost wherever they may be found, and the reaping of the soul harvest. Operation Africa! gave 13-year old Maria her first Bible, she took that gift and began to minister to her father, he got saved and was then presented with one of the Bibles we provided. This is why we work, this is why we labour, this is why we send out free Bibles as far and wide as the Lord will enable us to do. Your prayer and generous financial support makes all of it possible. Come help us to stay in the fight, we need you!!

We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

Trump Discernment Syndrome Is Not Derangement, It Is The Moment The MAGA Spell Breaks And You See The ‘America First’ Scam For What It Really Is
For years, the political elites and their cheering section have mocked truth-tellers with the phrase “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” as if anyone who questions Donald Trump must be irrational, bitter, or blinded by hatred. But the exact opposite is true. What we are watching is Trump Discernment Syndrome — the moment when people finally wake up and see through the carefully manufactured image, the endless branding, the fake strength, the hollow promises, and the nonstop social media memitic manipulation. It is the ability to look past the slogans, the staged patriotism, and the cult of personality and recognize the scam for what it is. That’s not derangement, that’s discernment, and you need to have it in these last days.
“Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?“Luke 12:56 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the real delusion belongs to the hypnotized MAGA crowd that has been trained to call compromise courage, propaganda truth, and blind loyalty righteousness. They excuse the contradictions, ignore the wreckage, and defend the deception because they have emotionally invested themselves in the illusion. But spiritual discernment breaks the spell. Discernment sees the cracked mask, reads the fruit, and refuses to bow before the 22-foot high golden idol. In an age where millions have traded critical thinking for political worship, Trump Discernment Syndrome is what happens when your eyes are opened and you see what’s actually in front of you. That is the core of Trump Discernment Syndrome: seeing that the same thing Trump condemned in Obama becomes “genius” when Trump does it. If Obama unfreezing Iranian assets was appeasement, then Trump unfreezing Iranian assets is appeasement. If Obama giving Iran economic breathing room was dangerous, then Trump giving Iran economic breathing room is dangerous. If Obama allowing the regime to survive was weakness, then Trump preserving the regime while calling it peace is also weakness. If Biden and his children profitting from his elected office was wrong, then Trump and his children profitting from his elected office has to be wrong. It must be wrong! Today we show you 12 examples of Trump Derangement Syndrome and watch what happens when we apply with glorious light of Truth to see what’s really going on. The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is people who willing volunteer to believe a lie, worship a man, and today we break that spell and cast out the devils of deception. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” All this and much more on today’s Prophecy News Podcast!

“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 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!?

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
