A Generation Under Threat

I know there has been a lot going on this October, but here’s another thing that woke me up early during the day I get to sleep-in.  As rescue teams and volunteers clean up/rebuild Helene’s devastation across the SE, and Israel and Iran throw missiles at each other, meanwhile election ads are non-stop, it may be hard to hear what I am about to say, but it seems appropriate as we watch things take their turn.

A little backstory might elucidate what I believe can help change the course of future generations.  So much confusion and chaos overwhelm my kids’ generation, but I know God’s will is sovereign and will not be stopped.  It is much like the solar eclipse we just saw, it is untouched by anyone and happened regardless of will and emotion.  Maybe it’s from witnessing that celestial event that uncovered my heart to say this.  Due to many things, and for those who accept it, I believe the anointing of Enoch is falling upon my kids’ generation.

Isn’t that some kind of cult thing?  I don’t know, but what I do know is due to my Dad and his brothers’ dedication to genealogical research, I am from the 188th generation from Adam.  This might not mean much, but I was listening to ‘Off the Kirb Ministries’ and Joe was talking about Enoch being of the 7th generation from Adam.  He described Enoch as the world’s first preacher.  I then thought of my kids’ generation number of the 189th and divided it by Enoch’s 7th generation, and got the 27th.

You may be asking what does any of this mean?  Maybe nothing, but maybe something much greater than a solar eclipse.  From a Google search, the next annular solar eclipse is set to occur on Feb. 17, 2026.  The next generation from Enoch will come in over 200 years.  None of us, save maybe Beyonce, will live to see that day.  If my math is correct, it might be safe to say Generation X is the 188th generation from Adam, and our children are the 189th.  If our kids will choose to carry the Light of Christ to future generations, in connection with Enoch’s role as the ‘world’s 1st preacher’, it is their birthright.

I’m speaking to my kids’ generation now.  Whether or not you are of the 189th generation, you have a choice.  Either disappear in the madness of agendas that would seek to snuff you out, or stand and shine with the Light of Jesus.  His Light is the only one that saves, John 8:12.

New single just released! “Fading World/Ending Life”

They say that legendary things come in threes.

The second solar eclipse of 2024, the 5th Family Edition of the 182, and now the release of the newest single, “Fading World/Ending Life” equals the next trifecta of awesomeness.  

FW/EL is the latest audio chapter soon to be featured on Distrokid.

You are invited to the musical shindig of the year, once again featuring the guitarstro mastermind Brad Fortuna, and the lovely vocal powerhouse Gwendolyn Carter.  

Unleash the legacy.

Y4’s find on Saturday/Sunday!

The word for yesterday/today was, “Yaba”.  It was an odd one for sure as I’ve never heard of it before, but the Spirit was emphatic about the spelling.  So, although I now know it as an illegal drug, I found this site that explained everything and I started to ‘get it’.  If you want to check out why this drug made me think about God, go here and whenever you read ‘drug’, replace it with ‘Gospel’.  “Worst’ gets replaced with “best” etc.  You’ll then read how even possessing it can land you in jail or get you the death sentence.

For practice try reading this paragraph, alternate words will be in parentheses: “Yaba (Jesus) is the most popularly used and distributed drug (Gospel) in the Kingdom, regardless of the harsh punishments that coincide with those who are caught with it. Yaba (Jesus) is a category one drug (Gospel), the worst (best) type of drug (Gospel) there is in Thailand, and those who use it (evangelize) face up to 20 years in prison or have to pay a very hefty fine. Those who are in possession of more than 20 grams (Bibles) of yaba (Jesus) face lifetime prison sentences and even the death penalty if caught, as in the eyes of the law, that person most likely has the intent to sell (evangelize) the drugs (Gospel).”

X4’s find on Saturday/Sunday!

“Xylose,” was yesterday’s/today’s word. “Sugar from wood doesn’t seem that difficult for You who brought water from a rock,” was the first line of what I thought about with this one.  It lead to over an hour long conversation with my sons about Exodus 17 and the 400 year mind job God was breaking His people from.  The wandering, the teaching, the water from the rock if God’s people would just trust in Him who parted the waters.  This is a nugget of the OT repeated throughout the Bible.  Were they ready for what God had in store, and its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus?

X4’s find on Monday!

Today’s word was ‘Xylography’.  It lead me to think about what imprint was being left on my shoulders from carrying my cross and following after Jesus, Matthew 16:24-26.  Of course, Jesus never said to put it down and take a break to enjoy life.  That lead me to think about the cross’s burden, and I found this.  What a great project.  What a life!
