PRAY FOR PUERTO RICO: Hurricane Maria Decimates Tiny U.S. Territorial Island As Worst Storm In A Century

Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico on Wednesday as the strongest storm to hit the U.S. territory in nearly 90 years.

Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico on Wednesday as the strongest storm to hit the U.S. territory in nearly 90 years, downing power to most of the island, flooding some areas and ripping windows out in the capital, San Juan.

“I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.” Isaiah 55:8 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: Texas is still digging out from Harvey, here in Florida we still don’t have power in lots of areas after that nasty woman Irma, and today tiny, little Puerto Rico was absolutely slammed by Maria. Oh, Jose is about to hit New York and Lee is coming right on the heels of Maria. Ever feel like God is sending a message? 

Maria, the second major hurricane to roar through the Caribbean this month, made landfall near Yabucoa, on the southwest of the island of 3.4 million people. Thousands of people were seeking safety in shelters.

Carrying winds of 140 miles per hour (220 kph), driving high storm surges and drenching rains, Maria’s eye was located about 25 miles (40 km) west of San Juan shortly before 11 a.m. ET (1500 GMT), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Broken windows, mangled awnings and gutters dangled haphazardly from buildings in San Juan or were ripped off entirely. Toilets bubbled noisily and belched foul air as the hurricane rumbled through the city’s water and sewage lines.

Up to 90 percent of the island was without electricity, El Nuevo Dia newspaper quoted Governor Ricardo Rossello as saying. In the southcoast city of Guayama, west of where Maria blew ashore, storm waters turned streets into fast-running rivers carrying wind-downed debris.

Maria killed at least two people in the French territory of Guadeloupe as it barreled through the Caribbean. It devastated the tiny island nation of Dominica and caused widespread damage on St. Croix, one of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Hurricane Irma, which ranked as one of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record, also left a trail of destruction in several Caribbean islands and Florida this month, killing at least 84 people in the Caribbean and the U.S. mainland.

“God is with us; we are stronger than any hurricane,” Rossello said in a Twitter message on Wednesday. “Together we will rise again.”

Maria was expected to dump as much as 25 inches (66 cm) of rain on parts of Puerto Rico, the NHC said. Storm surges, when hurricanes push ocean water dangerously over normal levels, could be up to 9 feet (2.7 meters.) The heavy rainfall could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, it added.

“This a catastrophe we’re going through,” said Madeline Morales, 62, a saleswoman in San Juan who abandoned her coastal home before the storm hit to seek refuge in a hotel on higher ground.

Maria was set to be the strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico since 1928, when the San Felipe Segundo hurricane slammed the island and killed about 300 people, the National Weather Service said.

Before hitting Puerto Rico, Maria ripped off roofs and downed trees as it passed west of St. Croix, home to about half of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ 103,000 residents, as a rare Category 5 storm, the top of the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale.

Some 65 to 70 percent of the buildings on St. Croix were damaged by the storm, said Holland Redfield, who served six terms in the U.S. Virgin Islands senate.

“There were a lot of homes that had lost their roofs. It was a sad sight,” Redfield said in a phone interview, describing viewing the island. “I’m in a very densely populated area now and I see a tremendous amount of confusion. A lot of trees are down.”

In Guadeloupe, at least two people were killed, according to France’s minister for overseas territories. Many roads were blocked and some 80,000 people, or 40 percent of the population, were without power, the overseas territories ministry said in a statement. In the largest city, Point-a-Pitre, there was flooding of more than three feet (a meter) in parts of the city, access to the port was blocked and a hospital was damaged, it said.

‘IRMA WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS’

Maria was on a track to pass just north of the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic on Wednesday night and Thursday, the NHC said. So far, it did not look likely to threaten the continental United States.

“Irma was nothing compared to this,” said Juan Pablo Alvarez, a 61 year old retiree in San Juan. “This is going to do a lot of damage.”

Even though Irma grazed north of Puerto Rico and did not hit the island directly, it knocked out power for 70 percent of the island, and killed at least three people.

Puerto Rico is grappling with the largest municipal debt crisis in U.S. history, with both its government and the public utility having filed for bankruptcy protection amid disputes with creditors.

There were hurricane warnings and watches in effect for the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Culebra, and Vieques, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas and the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engano to Puerto Plata. source

Pastor Dancan Just Sent A Very Heartfelt Message Of Gratitude To Operation Africa! And The Entire NTEB Family For Our Willingness To Be Used Of God

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

God is using each and every one in our NTEB family to work a mighty miracle for Pastor Dancan and the orphans in Kisii, Kenya through Operation Africa!

Operation Africa! has been going at full-speed the last many months, working to accomplish in Kisii, Kenya, what I can only call a true miracle in our midst, and a powerful testimony of what God can accomplish through the body of Christ when we yield ourselves to His will. In 1872, evangelist D.L .Moody was meeting with a group of his fellow preachers as he listen to Henry Varley say these words – “The world has yet to see what God will do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him.” As those words flooded over him, Moody said within himself, “by God’s help, I aim to be that man”. Today, the NTEB family is that man, and I want to share something with you that will truly encourage you here in these last days.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 (KJB)

We started on this journey 3 months ago, and it began with a relatively simple request for some Bibles from Kenya. 200 Bibles became 400, then 600, then a thousand, and then a little over 1,100. The sudden appearence of the preserved word of God in a place where it had not previously existed sparked revival, and Pastor Dancan’s church grew by 30% within weeks. I began to disciple him, teaching him right division of the scripture, sending books he needed for his spiritual education. Then I noticed the smiles had left the children’s faces, malaria and typhoid from drinking river water had sickened them. So we sent enough medicine to heal all 84 orphans. To solve the river water problem, we sent a 10,000 liter water tank, and filled it twice with clean drinking water. After that, we built them a well, 60 feet into the earth, hooked it up to the water tank, and solved their water problem. No more malaria and typhoid, but then we found out about their sleeping condition. Cardboard on a dirt floor and bedbugs that left welts on their little bodies. We purchased the proper chemicals to kill the bedbugs, threw away the cardboard, and gave each and every orphan a brand-new mattress with a nice, clean blanket. The photo at the top of this article shows you some of the new bedding. This morning, Pastor Dancan sent me a message that brought tears to my eyes, and I want to share it with all of you.

He writes“Pastor, words cannot fully express how grateful we are for everything you all have done for our orphanage and our church. In just a few months of knowing you, we have witnessed a transformation that we never imagined possible.

Our orphanage has changed tremendously. The children have experienced love, hope, care, and a brighter future because of your kindness and generosity. Things that once seemed impossible are now becoming a reality before our eyes.

You have not only supported us financially; you have touched lives, restored hope, and reminded us that God can send the right people at the right time. Every time we look at the children, we can see the impact of your love and sacrifice.

Pastor, we may never have enough words to thank you. What you all have done for us will forever remain in our hearts. We pray that God continues to bless you, strengthen you, and multiply everything you have given to others. We are truly grateful, and we thank God for bringing you into our lives. ❤️🙏”

For everyone who prays for Operation Africa!, he wrote that letter to you. For everyone who donates any amount, large or small, he wrote that letter to you. Pastor Dancan, his entire congregation, everyone of those orphans and everyone who lives in his town have watched God do a miracle in their midst. You talk about a testimony of the power of God to do the impossible through the body of Christ, there it is. Thanks to each and everyone one of you in our NTEB family, this work continues in Operation Africa!, the Gospel Witness Billboard Program, the Free Bible Program and Bibles Behind Bars. Please keep all of this in your prayers as the Lord brings it to your remembrance, and come help us to finish strong. We need you!!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with medicine and clean drinking water. 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!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Dystopian Tech Startup Called Satyress Rolling Out Robot Called Threehalves Promising You’ll Become ‘Superhuman’

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Preparing For Antichrist: The Horned Threehalves Robot From Satyress Shows A World Embracing Demonic Imagery, Artificial Intelligence And Superhuman Machines In Real Time

Threehalves is more than a bizarre engineering experiment, it is a sermon in steel preaching the dark gospel of the coming post-human world. A company calling itself Satyress has fashioned a seven-foot, horned, goat-headed monstrosity with the torso of a man, the body of a beast and mechanical arms designed to wield chainsaws and other instruments of power—all beneath the slogan “BECOME SUPERHUMAN.” They could have given it the neutral appearance of ordinary industrial machinery, but instead they deliberately clothed it in the imagery of the satyr and the Baphomet. That choice reveals how rapidly this generation is losing its natural revulsion toward the demonic, the grotesque and the unnatural. What previous generations would have recognized as an abomination is now photographed, promoted and applauded as innovation. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Threehalves is a chilling preview of the technological environment into which the Antichrist will step after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The world is being conditioned to communicate with artificial entities, obey voices coming from machines, surrender decisions to algorithms and accept mechanical bodies possessing strength far beyond that of human beings. Revelation foretells an image that will speak and cause those refusing to worship the beast to be killed; our generation is now constructing speaking images, autonomous weapons and robotic enforcers without giving a second thought to where those technologies may ultimately lead. The Antichrist will not arrive in a world unprepared for him, he will enter a world already trained to accept artificial authority, digital surveillance, manufactured reality and satanic power masquerading as human progress. Some of the people building this system undoubtedly understand the darkness they are invoking, while many others sincerely believe they are merely creating helpful technology. But conscious cooperation is not required when “the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” is steadily moving the whole world in the same direction. Artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital identification, programmable money, global surveillance and weaponized robotics are converging to prepare the operational machinery of the coming kingdom of the beast. Threehalves is only one garage-built prototype, but its Baphomet-like form provides a startling picture of the spirit behind that approaching system: man attempting to transcend the boundaries established by God, merging himself with the machine and calling the resulting abomination “superhuman.” The Church is not waiting for Antichrist—we are waiting for Jesus Christ—but while we await That Blessed Hope, we should clearly be warning a lost and dying world that the stage is being set, the machinery is being assembled, and the “night cometh when no man can work” is rapidly approaching. Your King James Bible mentions satyrs multiple times, and today we show you how all this connects on the end times timeline.

By Faith, We Sent Out 45 Mattresses And Blankets To The Children At The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kenya To Give Them Better Sleeping Conditions

Operation Africa! Delivers Mattresses And Blankets To 84 Orphan Children In Kenya, Replacing Cardboard On Concrete With A Clean And Comfortable Place To Sleep Tonight

Earlier today  at Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, what began as a burden, a prayer and a fundraising appeal became something these children could finally reach out and touch. The mattresses arrived. The blankets arrived. And because the people of God responded, 84 orphan children who had been sleeping on cardboard laid over a concrete floor now have a clean, soft place to rest. Look closely at the photograph. Those children are not standing around a promise of help that may come someday. The help is there, lined up across the orphanage grounds, still wrapped in protective plastic, ready to be carried inside and put to use. But first things first, they’re spraying the rooms for bedbugs.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27 (KJB)

This is what Operation Africa! is all about. It’s King James Bibles placed into waiting hands, clean water flowing where there was none, medicine reaching hurting children, and now mattresses and blankets for orphans who up to this point had been sleeping on cardboard and concrete. This is Bible-believing Christianity with its sleeves rolled up. To every NTEB’er who prayed, donated and shared the appeal, this is the fruit of your giving.

The Lord took many individual gifts and transformed them into 45 mattresses, 45 blankets and a better night’s sleep for 84 precious children. The world may never know their names, but God knows every one of them. This project is 80% funded, to help us get the rest of the way, please click the donate button and come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this overwhelmingly urgent task of providing the children of Glory Fellowship Orphange with medicine and clean drinking water. 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!!!
