A Word for Christians Against Conspiracy Theory (Isaiah 8:11-13,16 NLT)

1. Again the LORD said to me, “Make a large signboard and clearly write this name on it: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. “
2. I asked Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah, both known as honest men, to testify that I had written it before the child was conceived.
3. Then I slept with my wife, and she became pregnant and had a son. And the LORD said, “Call him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4. This name prophesies that within a couple of years, before this child is old enough to say ‘Papa’ or ‘Mama,’ the king of Assyria will invade both Damascus and Samaria and carry away their riches.”
5. Then the LORD spoke to me again and said,
6. “The people of Judah have rejected my gentle care and are rejoicing over what will happen to King Rezin and King Pekah.
7. Therefore, the Lord will overwhelm them with a mighty flood from the Euphrates River ? the king of Assyria and all his mighty armies.
8. This flood will overflow all its channels and sweep into Judah. It will submerge Immanuel’s land from one end to the other.
9. “The Assyrians will cry, ‘Do your best to defend yourselves, but you will be shattered! Listen all you nations. Prepare for battle ? and die! Yes, die!
10. Call your councils of war, develop your strategies, prepare your plans of attack ? and then die! For God is with us! ‘”
11. The LORD has said to me in the strongest terms: “Do not think like everyone else does.
12. Do not be afraid that some plan conceived behind closed doors will be the end of you.
13. Do not fear anything except the LORD Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else.
14. He will keep you safe. But to Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap that entangles them.
15. Many of them will stumble and fall, never to rise again. Many will be captured.”
16. I will write down all these things as a testimony of what the LORD will do. I will entrust it to my disciples, who will pass it down to future generations.

Psalm 107: 19-22 Thanksgiving

“LORD, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
He spoke, and they were healed ? snatched from the door of death.
Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for all his wonderful deeds to them.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts. NLT

Psalm 106:2

Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD? Who can ever praise him half enough? Ps 106:2 NLT

Psalm 105: 1-5

1. Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
2. Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his miracles.
3. Exult in his holy name; O worshipers of the LORD, rejoice!
4. Search for the LORD and for his strength, and keep on searching.
5. Think of the wonderful works he has done, the miracles and the judgments he handed down,

Psalms 103:2 and 3

Praise the LORD, I tell myself, and never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. NLT

Daisy was at church Sunday! PTL! God Is healing her. Also Larry R, Larry W, and Judy were there.

This was Daisy’s first Sunday back in church since August. Making it to church is a miracle for some of us, on some Sundays.

We are thankful, chris
