REMEMBERING THE SILENCE OF HIS FRIENDS

by | Feb 17, 2021 | Christianity Today | 104 comments

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends”. 

Nothing is more enraging to Americans than the feeling that their government does not care about them. Americans hate feeling powerless. They see entitled elites openly ignoring their pain and acting with total arrogance. It is an arrogance that is utterly unconcerned about consequences.

They go to beauty salons, but you can’t. Then they use their power to put that salon out of business. The same with restaurants that are forced to close down. They tell you not to travel, and then two hours later, they are on a jet to visit their relatives.

I say this, because politicians live in a bubble and do not know what you and I think. Mainly because they don’t care. And they don’t care because Washington D.C. is a seductive, soul-sucking atmosphere where ideals go to die and compromise can even look heroic.

Here is why there is so much pressure on Trump’s friends to abandon him. They are being threatened that they’ll lose elections in the future. They are being yelled at for “tearing the nation apart and starting a civil war.” 

Look at Mitch McConnell’s flip. It almost sounds sociopathic. He went from praising Trump’s “endless achievements,” to calling him a criminal. They believe their betrayal of Trump will have no lasting repercussions.

But they could not be more wrong. The silence will be remembered by all real Americans.

Again, the greatest frustration of most Americans today is that they feel powerless when they realize that their government officials do not care a lick about them. That is why Trump attracted vast crowds in out-of- the-way rural enclaves.

But even in the bluest states, they are enraged. They see these arrogant elites callously get their hair done, even as they shut down barber shops and salons. They go to restaurants where they dine, wearing no masks, but we are told never do so, and so, restaurants die. ‘Only,’ they say, ‘please wait to die until after you have fed us…

I know that silence is tempting. I know you believe that if you stand with Trump there will be pandemonium. That is the pull of the expedient. But in the long run, it is a mistake. A big mistake.

We will remember the silence of our friends long after we have forgotten the words of our enemies. It isn’t just Trump who will remember. Nearly 80 million Trump voters are going to remember your silence.

Just because we don’t burn down buildings and riot, that does not mean there isn’t wrath among those of us who voted for Trump. Just because we won’t threaten to kill you, like the Left, does not mean we can’t do earthshaking things.

Right now, it seems that speaking out will bring nothing but misery. That is because the consequence of silence will come later―and when it does, it will be breathtaking.

At the risk of being very corny, let me quote some dialog from Casablanca. Words from the closing scene, when Rick tells Ilsa why they can’t be together.  “If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. But I’ve got a job to do, too. Where I’m going, you can’t follow. What I’ve got to do, you can’t be any part of. Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.”

You might feel safe in betraying a good friend. You may not regret it then. But, in the end, we will remember the silence of those who claimed to be the friend of one of the greatest Presidents in history…and you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The last and most compelling reason for you to speak up is embodied in a warning from the Book of Esther. “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4: 14

Trump has a destiny in America. You can speak up for him and face the immediate backlash that gives way to a lasting blessing. But if you remain silent Trump’s destiny will be fulfilled anyway but you will pay the price of an ended career. You will never be worthy of trust again.

    And DEMON POSSESSED BIDEN …. REMAINS IN CHARGE
    Implementing devlish evil policies designed to humiliate and break down…
    AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STILL DO NOTHING
    THIS MARIO IS ALL JUST SO PATHETIC !!

    • C. Jones

      glenlea… What exactly are you doing besides whining and ranting?

      • Walter L. Johnson II

        Agreed. The “glenlea’s” of the world are part of the problem, not the solution, to save America? Way too many Americans are complaining, giving up and grumbling, instead of praying, being proactive, and taking action to take our country back. In other words, it’s time for the vast majority of Americans to repent wholeheartedly, and turn to Jesus, before it’s too late. So, the bottom line must be, either be a part of the solution, or part of the problem. The choice is ours to make. God Bless You All.

      • Gunnar

        Walter L. Johnson II
        WELL SAID in addressing glenlea, We all need to Pray and Repent, Fast, READ THE WORD and all that God did period. glenlea-Lord’s Prayer please, Beatitudes.

      • Daniel

        More than you for sure. God will protect his people but like with the three Hebrew boys in the furnace, even if God does not, he is still God and a kingdom much greater than this will await those whose name are written in the Lambs book of life.

    • Gwen

      You will remember your pathetic comeback someday and will regret you ever spoke.

    • Bobbe

      Doing nothing??!! He’s winning souls and freeing people from gangs, prostitution, drugs, etc. Like he said, just because we’re not out rioting doesn’t mean we’re doing nothing. We’re praying, knowing that our God is the only one mighty enough to straighten this country out. Trump is His chosen vessel to help. Wow be to those who go against God.

    • Bobbe

      Wow in my last post should have been woe. (Computers get too smart for their britches at times!). And also woe to those who stole the election from President Trump. About 80 million people had their votes stolen. Think about it.

  2. Monica

    Still standing firm, but thank you for the reminder.

  3. Linda S.

    WOW! Well said Pr.Mario!!! Things are just SOOOO upside down
    people don’t want to hear the truth. So outrageous that they’re
    unbelievable to people. We continue to cry out to our Heavenly
    Father to have Grace and Mercy during these very toxic and
    challenging times. We need to FIGHT back with God leading the
    fight. Thank you FATHER that you are so forgiving!

  4. nellsh

    BOOM ? ? ?
    KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH

  5. Cydney Beatty

    You are not a true friend if you abandon your friend in difficult times. True friends rally around a friend.
    What you are seeing are those who see Trump with physical eyes and not their spiritual eyes. Trump was used by God. He was appointed. His position was stolen. But God. I am saying the course.

    Amen, thank you for that word. It’s true. Many of us came across Professor Toto who teaches the constitution. He’s teaching how to get involved on a local level so your voice can be heard. He’s just a small time pastor of a local church obeying what God told him to do. First Harvest Ministries, Waveland Mississippi.

  8. Clint

    Standing for what God’s prophets have said about President Trump and the destiny of the United States of America. Let your voice continue to exhort the nation back to God and his righteousness. God bless richly your efforts on His behalf.

  9. Matthew S

    Well thought out article. Cartoon is excellent. The only problem I see with it is instead of the little mousey elephant saying “Ooops”, they are defiantly saying “whatta ya gonna do ’bout it?”
    May the Lord respond to our prayers with “shock and awe”!

  10. Roger Culwell

    Silence is why we are in the shape we are in, just speaking out at the beginning would have done so much to show nthem we are not standing for this, who ever shut a Nation down because of fear of some thing that hasn’t happened, besides to shut a nation down is to destroy that nation, its like shooting our selves in the head, because we heard a killer tornado is headed our way with high winds, and damaging winds, and we get a light wind with a slight breeze, we destroy our selves, because of fear, and an evil peoples words, like most out of DC, they have rules for them and then there’s the one’s for us, they made you wear mask, that Doctors say tares down your immune system, and stay out of the sun, the one thing that fight’s it Vit. D. well they wore the mask and tore down there immune system and now a worse thing they say is headed our way, I said back when this started it’s not what they say it is, THE LORD TOLD ME TO TELL THE PEOPLE, and I said could they be weakening our immune system for a reason to loose something worse, and President Trump even finially said it, well now they claim it’s coming, they are causing it I think, bad info has caused more damage than any thing, We had a President that was for this Nation, now we have communist who want to destroy this Nation and the people, they have offered far more help to other nation while Americians do with out, threatening to cut off any help to Trump supporters, showing who they are for, because we stood for a man who loves theis country just like we do, and I had rather die standing with the right man and God than live with a bunch of Tyrants and Traitors, which is about all we have in congress, I said because many screamed when I said I would not unite with evil and agree with it, I said I would pray for him Lord don’t Biden and his hoe congress destroy any more than possible today,, when a congress and a leader is more for other nations than this one, they are WHORES TO THIS NATION, sorry but its fact, I will always stand with Mr. Trump and back him, they ask me the other day if I still stood with him, it came from the top, and I said yes, always will, but we must shot for election integrity and replace these tyrants in congress, and get involved with our judicial watch in our community and save this country, our job has just begun, but we have to fix the election system, and always stand fr right unlike the traitors we have in Government now, people are hurting from the shutdown, and now this winter storm, we have electric for a little while then it goes off was off all day yesterday into the night, and then kept going off and on, but so many don’t have any, and we sure could use Mr. Trump right now, but some of us will stand by him until death, Silence has all but killed us, and still some in the Church cut us down, we have a job to get people in place for the next election to run and get rid of these devils, and we must put them in place, get people who stand for God to run and elect them, but wwe must be about our fathers business also and offer Jesus to the people, for the fields are white and ready for the harvest, and no one will tell them the truth if we don’t, silence is deadly, and they are trying to silence us completely, making where we can’t speak on social media, I was shadow banned for putting up the Star Spangled Banner because it told the story of the battle, and fact-checkers said it wasn’t true on fb, I keep putting it up, any thing they say is not true is fact and we are the liar’s, when they wouldn’t know the truth if it was a mack truck hitting them, THE TRUTH SEEMS TO ALL MOST KILL THE LEFT THESE DAYS, WHICH IS WHY THEY HATE THE WORD OF GOD, but I tell you this Global warming is getting rough where I live right not, my tumbers are shivering almost at time, we better keep gas and oil going, because the electric is off. Good Word sir God Bless

      Seeds of Life
      …in spirit I am taken to a distant land surrounded by the sea and mountains. There is a house sitting in a field waiting to harvest the kernels of life. ( plants are liken to children where the growth has been stunted) there are many rooms in the house for a large family. People come to stare at the beauty then leave. It is a place where knowledge is the genesis of creation. Many come to visit from a distant star to help the children learn the way of wisdom. Tools were needed to plant, and buildings to protect the harvest. The seeds of knowledge that were planted are different than the grains that nourish the embodiment. The seeds give eternal life to the spirit/soul of immortality. The seeds are special and need constant care to grow within a symbiotic environment to achieve what they can to help others become galactic neighbors The human family has reached “critical mass!” Along the path of life, they created obstacles, that prevents them from understanding the differences between truth and lies. The choices (leaders/working class) they make, affects the growth (children that never become adults) their mental awareness is limited by greed, jealousy, hatred as they cling to deception. The cosmic law of ONE/Almighty will determine what needs to be implemented to correct the course to survive the approaching chaos from destroying the seed/chain of humanity.
      ….and the WORD was made flesh, so the children could understand the language of another world. Within the “clouds,” answers to question can be found by diligent observation. When a piece of the puzzle is missing, it effects the clarity of the image portrayed.
      …sharing a word of encouragement sent via a dream… bless you for what you shared…

        So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth says the Lord; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it! I am watching over my word to perform it! Isaiah 55:11 Isaiah 59:21

    • fromanislandinnewhampshire

      Roger, sorry you are are so cold with these outages. Kat Kerr’s Weather Warriors (you can find it on Youtube) prayed about this freezing and have prayed for warming air from the south. It’s already moving up, join in the prayer, and see everything melt that the devil intended to harm! Right now my car is stuck in the driveway in ice, so you guys, pray for me to have help to get it out, thanks.

      • Roger Culwell

        Amen Lord send help to help them get their car unstuck, so they can do the thing’s they need to do, and help all who are with out power or stuck and can’t go any where, we just ask your protection be upon us all in Jesus name.

        • fromanislandinnewhampshire

          Thank you Roger, and I’m so glad you aren’t cold. God must be wrapping you up good!

          • Roger Culwell

            he is its amazing to the natural it’s crazy, but our God can do anything, some say he is not enough, he is more than enough to me..

      • Roger Culwell

        let me clear something up, it’s cold and the power has been off, when you go out its rough, and hard to heat or cook food, but for some reason it has not been cold in my room, very strange, others got cold in the house, but I didn’t get cold, and the power was off a long time, was very strange, it seems the Lord heated my room some how. now I know he can keep you warn too.

      • fromanislandinnewhampshire

        P.S. I’m not cold, that’ the good thing; I have a woodstove, which I can cook on if I want, and so far the power is on!

    Look at who is leading Congress. 80 yr olds who instead of wisdom are using arrogance and fear to keep the power. they care NOTHING about this country or the people. Just the power. Pray that God removes them. That is how you pray for those in authority. The Biden administration was not put there by God but by our enemy.

    Your ‘warning’ today was just so right on! I have been preaching that (to my friends) for the last few years. Oh! that their eyes would be opened!! (Most of my friend’s eyes ARE open!)
    Thank you for being a voice of confirmation!

    Excellent post, sir…your comments were like the fire-arrows loosed by the legions of old, into the dry remnants of the previously harvested bountiful crops that were the Trump years, now trampled by the clueless politicians. They stand in the now-fallow fields that they themselves have created, and those arrows of our Righteous anger will start a raging inferno that will make them regret their treachery!

    I think for some of us silence is because we don’t know if those around us (within hearing distance) are antifa or blm.

    you express our angst perfectly…shocked as i was at the ultimate results of this election, i am still standing on the promises of God to honor the nation that honors Him…praying for the church to feel enough righteous anger to stand up and demand our rights, before they are removed permanently

    • JoBondi

      I don’t know of churches in my area that have said or prayed anything related to the election, issues, or all of the changes due to EO’s. I’m leaving my church. It’s been open two weeks this whole time. I’m looking for a new church home. I’ve seen nothing online from any local church, (including sermons, prayers, etc.) that addresses anything that’s going on in America right now. Frustrating.

    Thank you for encouraging words. I am praying, personally & with prayer groups. I have sent letters to my representatives in House/Senate. How else can we be heard? I’m interested and willing. I know some of my Dem. family members don’t talk to me or won’t if I try “reasoning”. I’m hoping they will be affected by my prayers as they know where I stand. Thank you for your encouragement.

  34. Margaret Lehman

    Good message, as usual. I get frustrated. I have written to government officials. I have written to the GOP. My letters are factual, well written, to the point. Most of the time I get no response. Other times I get a form letter that could be sent to anyone about any matter. I have even gotten letters thanking me for agreeing with them when I clearly disagreed. When I pointed out a constitutional fact to one senator, I was told I was totally wrong. What was evident was that he did not know the constitution. What I do get back are numerous appeals for money. President Trump is the first person I have given money to in the last 15 years.

  35. Sherry Lee

    “Soul-sucking atmosphere where ideas go to die and compromise can even look heroic.” I love that quote, Mario!! As I read what you write, I am crying out the same thing!! There is so much anger in the pit of my soul! But like you also say, just because we don’t burn down buildings and slash people with words of hate and murder and malice, we are still standing in truth!! And we are still winning, no matter what it looks like! Who could go wrong with a heavenly hosts of Angels and the LORD of LORD’s on our side! There are more for us than there are against us!! We will shout it on rooftops, with pen and paper, with our voices and with our gatherings! And with our PRAYERS that nothing can stop the workings of the LORD!! Thank you my friend!! LOVE YOU MARIO!!

    • Nancy Strickland

      Just wrote a letter to Ronna McDaniel RNC Chairperson. Basically said that both the Republican and Democrat Congresspersons were to blame for the mess USA is in now. The Republicans had the majority at first and BLEW IT by NOT LEADING. They did not have legislation to replace Obamacare even after years of knowing they had to have a plan. When the enemy sees weakness–then he moves in to fill the void. That is what has happened. The Republican party’s new plan to win according the letter Ronna sent me asking for money was “we need a better ground game”. That is not the problem, there was a good ground game. I asked her what did the RNC do to make sure the election was fair. Waiting for her answer….

      • Sandra McCowan

        Amen sister. Make sure to answer the phone calls from the RNC, when they call asking for donations. I usually do not answer those type calls, but have been doing so lately, so I can let them know of my extreme displeasure at the way they have let us down. I tell them that I am ashamed of the Republican party for not working with President Trump when he first took office, while they had the majority and could do something–They Did Nothing but fight against him. Secondly, I am ashamed that after the 2020 election, they abandoned him, just like rats jumping off a sinking ship. Third, I am from Kentucky and I specifically am ashamed of Mitch McConnell for his turncoat simpering and cozying up to the Democrats. I let them know that I had funneled money to the Trump campaign for both his first and second election bids, but I would not give a dime to support the riff-raff they are sending to Congress now. I also let them know that I wouldn’t vote for Mr. McConnell again, if his opposition was Communist; and that I know a lot of people with the same views. At least you would know what a Communist stood for, Mitch on the other hand speaks with a forked tongue. I pray for this Country and for our leaders; I voice my opinion at every opportunity; I stand with Trump and believe whole heartedly that He was put in place by God to give America a chance to “about face” and obviously we blew it. So America “Gird your loins, and put on the whole armor of God”, because Satan and his Evil minions is now in control. GOD HELP US ALL, because when it rains–it rains on the just and the unjust.

    “The disciples went to sleep when they should have kept awake, And when they realize what they had done it produced despair. The sense of the irreparable is apt to make us despair, and we say “it’s all up now, it is of no use trying anymore” But Jesus says “Arise, and go to the next thing”. Let go to the irresistible future with Him. What is the next thing? To Trust Him completely and to Pray on the ground of His Redemption.
    Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.” Today! in Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest

    Yes! Great post! I continue to stand with you and the prophets!
    I believe the Great Awakening will sweep out all the evil like a tsunami.
    I believe we pray and stand in faith. If I spoke out on FB, it would just cause strife and fighting. So I haven’t.
    We will have our chance to speak to these RINO’s and oh, we will!! And to the other evil ones as well. I have prayed for exposure and removal from office for over 2 years! I will continue.
    I have also asked God for long perp walks when these evil ones are arrested. Utter humiliation! Maybe then they will seek the Lord.

    I will stand for God, America, our constitution, the unborn and the legal president of the USA, President Donald Trump!

    i agree total brother murio great word,i stand with Donald J Trump i also believe God is fixing do something so big it will blow most people mind all thing are possiable with God i gave the church where i pastor a word for 2021 it simple GOD IS ABLE well dont wont preach God bless you brother M urio.

    Amen!!

  46. eaglepbm

    A big Amen to that. I have lost a good friend that I thought was loyal to God.
    But they conceded and left the church because our whole church stood with President Trump and we still do.
    So all I can say is this… Oh, Well , NEXT.
    I will not back down from what God has said.
    I will not approve the killing of babies, nor sex trafficking…nor any other
    ungodly things that are happening in this world.
    I fully stand on Gods word 100%.no matter who is with you or not with you.
    I call you blessed…Mario.

  47. Gunnar

    Read no comments; Yes Mario this is what someone whined about yesterday to me: “They are being threatened that they’ll lose elections in the future. They are being yelled at for “tearing the nation apart and starting a civil war.” and the repercussions if he wins, REALLY! I can’t fix stupid or those who live in fear and or do nothing and whine and snivel; as i think about all our Veterans that served our Country also. The worst part of it, is didn’t want to hear truth of even to be in the WORD, 2 Thessalonias 2:9-11. DON’T QUIT PRAYING. GOD SEND HELP!
    The biggest item is Ananias and Sapphira endeavor or what God did to Jezebel and Ahab read the Bible for all those examples; DON’T pray that way; LET GOD BE GOD AND LET HIM DO IT! The “PURE PRAYER” is, The Lord’s Prayer! That would be for those who have NO Proverbs 9:10; that’s scary that he could drop anyone at anytime as he also takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23/33:11; 2 Peter 3:9). Also, praying for those that they would have a Damascus Road Experience; wish could remember the Man’s name who he was in a Movie Theater and God showed up and he got GLORIOUS SAVED, what a testimonial of God’s saving redemptive grace and mercy and LOVE. LOVE those divine appointments of obedient servants that see and share. God, let your Glory and your Fire and Ezekiel 47: come into those places. GOD, YOU DO IT!
    Think about all those in History, all these people who kept silent or betrayed that’s what they will be remembered for, not morals, nor character or integrity or GUTS; they will be remembered for selling out, especially to mammon and fear and compromising and being mouth pieces for satan. That includes Pastors and the Church. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER, FEAR IS NOT OF GOD, NOT AT ALL, NEVER BOW, NEVER SAY DIE! God is on his throne watching it all!
    Cemetery, these mortal bodies we decide who we serve and planning on living in Heaven forever vs. alternative, no thank you! Google:-“Is Death the End, the reality of Hell”-Arthur Katz last sobering message as “Are you known in Hell”-scriptural; it’s a chapter in either Why Revival Tarries or America is Too Young to Die-Leonard Ravenhill. “As for me and my House, we will serve the Lord”! In Yorba Linda, CA a woman came up to someone and said “they were known in hell”; wow, are you? Not because your there, because your doing great damage to that kingdom and it’s Acts 5:29! Wise intercessor taught me Acts 5:29, all God requires of us is obedience! Psalms 68:1-3! IT’S PRAYER!

    Well said, Mario. Been there. Done that. I did not support someone very dear to me with an important turning point in their life. I joined the “others” to out my friend. Due to circumstances, it seemed like the right decision, but I was wrong. Trust was broken and that friendship was never recovered. I live with the guilt.
    So absolutely, we cannot give up on Trump no matter what others say to us. President Trump was the wake up call to Christians and Conservatives and he deserves our unending praise and support.
    Thanks for the good post, Mario. You are a blessing to us.

    I so much agree with you and feel sorry for well known preachers on TV telling his congregation and Tv land not to sat anything just love and I think how could be so passive, if we do not take a stand agains evil will we survive and make heaven for eternity? I think not because I read the WORD and if GOD isn’t silent, neither should we be! Please hold on and forge ahead because your reward will greatly out weigh these big so called preachers of the word but not the WORD! Prayers and blessings because I know our Father and He is on our side against evil! And also other nations are not silent either and know about the fraud and evil intents!

    Yes amen Mario,
    We will not forget a lot of the Republicans for how the turns on our great President Trump when he needed them, and how they didn’t stand for
    “We the people”. Yes Washington, DC is a bubble of elite’s power hungry
    Fools who are not doing there job for us and our nation and they don’t give a rip
    about us. Looking forward for MAGA to return to our country soon, with God’s help.

    Mario you are so correct. We are pressing in and believe that Jesus is still in the revealing all the corruption stage. Mitch is a RINO, no doubt about it. We appreciate all you are doing. I believe that God is making sure there is no doubt that the change which is going to happen will be for HIS GLORY alone. DJT is a true Patriot and the anointed one of Jesus.

    I heard today that Nikki Hayley contacted President Trump and requested to meet with him, and he turned her down.
    I am so glad that he did. I used to have a lot of respect for her. She actually did a good job at the UN. But after she issued her cheap back-stabbing remarks recently, I am done with her. President Trump has all the fair-weather friends he could possibly need, he doesn’t need any more and doesn’t have to put up with them. It was reported today that his favorable marks are now higher than Reagan’s and that’s quite remarkable, in my book.
    There’s no way I am abandoning President Trump. It’s as clear as it can be that God is not finished with him, not by a long shot. The nation is in desperate trouble. I was listening to the brilliant Victor Davis Hanson on the radio this evening. He said we are getting it from all sides, all areas, at once. He believes that Biden is doing what he wants to do, that he’s not really being directed by others, he’s doing the things he has always wanted to do, for decades.
    I’m not sure if I agree with that. I still believe he’s being used by those who want to steer us into the NWO. It’s also clear he has dementia problems and confusion. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean that he hasn’t always wanted to do the terrible things that is now doing, to the country. Both could be true, simultaneously. He’s hungry for power, control, notoriety, and more wealth.
    I still believe something major is going to occur. Notice how close CA is to recalling Newsom. And it’s said that many, many democrats signed the recall petition. It would be a political earthquake if CA elected a Republican, especially a Conservative one. And watch Cuomo. The guy is unraveling in front of the cameras/public daily. He is in major trouble. If the radical dems lose CA and NY, we are talking about something major.
    I think it may be significant that we lost Rush and Carman within 24 hours of each other, on the 16-17th of February. One of the meanings of the number 17 in Hebrew Gematria is, “mouth/speech” as in God speaking directly into the affairs of man. When CA had a 6.6 earthquake on Oct. 17, 1989, the next one came on January 17, 1994..34 years apart (2 X 17) and it hit in the porn district of LA. The night before it hit, I was reading a book by Hal Lindsay on the earthquake statistics. I put it down and thought to myself, “Well, I wonder if I will wake up to an earthquake in the morning.” At 4:35 the next morning, a 6.6 earthquake almost tossed me out onto the floor.
    And then there’s the meaning of the name Biden in Hebrew, meaning basically, “Oh dear, judgment”.
    I don’t mean to get carried away with this, but I’m just saying, even a cursory study of the Hebrew alphabet and language will provide much discernment. It’s a worthy study for Christians, and something I need to get back to. I’ve allowed myself to get distracted.
    At any rate…I believe God is doing something,

    Thank you, Mario. We must stand flor what we believe in, and for me that means standing with President Trump while I await God’s mighty show of power.

    Absolute truth! So so sad and at the same time causing anger at the traitor spirit of so many “fair weather friends” and supposed supporters of President Trump in his greatest hour of need for support!
    So grateful for this blog Mario!! Thank you and God Bless You!

    I couldn’t help reading this and relating to it completely. How I will never forget 21 years and more of suffering and the silence of my christian friends, while I suffered. You see I didn’t have parents like you did. I had parents who terrified me from when I was young to an adult. I was the type of child I only wanted to help people and even my parents . At 5 years old I saw the sadness in my parents eyes and would say tell me your problems and maybe I can help you. There was constant turmoil, constant fighting, nightmares of feeling my parents wanted to kill me or somebody else. I spent my teen years crying and asking God to to move in our home or please let someone want to adopt me. Taking walks to the park, or around the block to pour out my heart in tears to God, or escaping to my grandmothers house who was only a few blocks away. Trying to escape a mother who at times wanted me dead because she wanted to be the center of attention. A father who mainly loved the mother but endured raising kids because they both wanted to live life and just have fun with each other. A mom who was killing off anyone that got more than her. A mother who was trying to defile her children because I really believe she hated us. To this day I believe that she poisoned relatives and who knows who else. When she was guilt ridden she would buy you something. Every major thing in my life was overshadowed by her jealousy. I longed to be loved. One day I looked around what we had and said God I don’t care about having things, I just want peace. Please give me peace. When I did get some promised from a minister about peace christian people began to get jealous, even my pastor. People began to think of ways they could sabbatoged my life and steal anything good they could from my life. How I longed for peace and security. I would reach out to others but they with drew. My life was full of loneliness and heart ache. I married a man who hated me and loved our kids when it was convenient for him, but who just wanted to leave. I spent years of my life trying to make amends and to understand him and minister to him in anyway I could. I spent years of depression because of sad memories and longing to be loved. When I went to church I was made to feel I couldn’t be as good as they were. That they made judgement on what they thought they saw, but many times were wrong. None of them even really tried to understand me or care about what I was going through. I’m only writing a few things of what happened. My middle child was the only comfort or encouragement I had and they wanted him dead. Often I wanted to give him what ever I could for being such a blessing to me while others didn’t care. But when I did give it was only a small bucket in comparison for all the hurt and rejection he suffered. He longed to be free and to be married to a beautiful precious girl he met at a young age only to have that taken away from him because of people’s ambitions and jealousy. God forbid he should be blessed as they were. My other two kids longed to escape out of the home we lived in and have the things they saw others have around them. They too had their hopes and dreams crushed. They went through situations that could have cost them their lifes, but I prayed and pleaded with God to spare them. I cried rivers to tears for them. I would pray over their rooms I would beg God to save them from this situation to that situation. Till one day a man at a home group meeting said God showed him that if I didn’t stop crying I could die an early death. Over the years I would ask people to pray for me or my family. Only to feel I was rejected for this reason or that. Sometimes I felt I was rejected because I wasn’t sophisticated enough or smart and successful enough. My family wasn’t in order enough. This was from my christian brother and sisters in the Lord. I realized I shouldn’t have judged myself by their standards.

    This is one of the very best reads I’ve seen in a month of Sundays!

  69. Tanner from Louisiana

    This is for you SUSAN HOYT and those who represent the “THE REMNANT”who God has been molding and preparing through afflictions, pain, rejection for this present TIME on earth. It is an honor that he chose you from the beginning of TIME for this moment to bring in the harvest and letting your light shine to bring hope and love to people, who are begging for help and don’t know who to talk too, who to trust, never read a Bible or know Christ. But good news, ?The Remnant have the heart of JESUS, they feel the hurt, see it, constant heaviness, have not read about it but lived with these things that no man can teach, only by experience that God has allowed and knew you would suffer is how you know this pain and have been given the heart of the father. But the Good news is through all this we know who to call on, who has never forsaken us, saved us from death, drugs, alcohol, money, power, “The Church” best friends and family who betrayed us. We know Jesus is the name above every name, and if we call on him we shall be saved, we will finish the race and be allowed to enter heaven still to serve and do the work that many will not do. Forgive and Love our enemy’s when you know they are taking advantage of you, and you still pray mercy, blessings, and grace for them and their kids. “The Remnant”taking care of the will of the Father in secret-without needing approval of man and he knows you will be obedient to him when he speaks so his will can be accomplished. His ways are not are ways just trust and speak to the mountains with authority and they will move. This is where their joy comes and the Remnant receive greater power, still praising God and getting on your knees ?? when it’s hard to, and you feel all hope is gone, no money no car no one cares, sick, weak, but believing That the one who created you will never fail you. We know what we have read in the Bible, we know our God forgives us when we fail, we have seen miracles, seen supernatural things, we saw miracles done because God said do this and have faith, we speak it, believe the stories in the Bible believe⚡️⚡️ Angels will come down when asked⚡️⚡️To destroy and deliver. Part the ?Red Sea , make the ☀️ Sun stand still and After the seventh trip around the city on the seventh day, Scripture tells us that the wall “fell down flat” (Joshua 6:20).
    And I leave you this from Brother David Wilkerson, his preaching, books, newsletters he sent out years ago taught me a lot over the years. I still listen to this man and his preaching brings down walls. ? Pastor Mario ?has been given his mantle since Brother Wilkerson has went to be with the Lord. ?
    HOW TO DEAL WITH YOUR AFFLICTIONS
    David Wilkerson (1931-2011)
    May 6, 2020
    Right now, many of God’s people are suffering — physical pain, emotional turmoil — and they may be questioning the reason for their distress. If you are one of these, you may feel tired and frustrated, wondering if God is mad at you for some reason. You ask, “Lord, you know I love you and my faith is strong. But I don’t know how much longer I can endure this trial.”
    The apostle Paul’s life is an example of how we’re to deal with our afflictions: “For this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life” (1 Timothy 1:16).
    Trials and sufferings are appointed to devoted servants who receive revelations from the very heart of God. Paul testifies, “Lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me” (2 Corinthians 12:7). If you’ve set your heart wholly on Christ, you’re going to experience hard times and afflictions that cold, carnal Christians know nothing about. This was true of Paul’s life.
    When Paul was converted, he wasn’t satisfied to learn Christ even from Jesus’ disciples. He wanted to know the Lord intimately for himself. Therefore, Paul said, “I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood” (Galatians 1:16). Instead, he shut himself off in Arabia for three years (see 1:16-18). The apostle testified, “I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1:12).
    Thank God for Bible teachers who open up the scriptures and reveal many wonders and mysteries of the faith. But the fact is, the revelation of Jesus Christ himself cannot be taught, it must be given by the Holy Spirit. And it comes to those who, like Paul, shut themselves up in their own Arabia, determined to know Christ.
    It is all right to question God regarding your pain but don’t expect an answer. Once you’re in heaven, the Lord will explain all to you and you’ll see that everything was part of a perfect plan — orchestrated by a loving Father who knew what it would take to keep you on your face, moving toward him. And the wonderful news is that it will be more than worth every tear.
    “Time” to build the tents ? ⛺️ The Remnant is ready just as God prepared Moses. He learned Gods heart in the wilderness wilderness.
    Exodus 33:11 The LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.
    Remember, times you need encouragement, ask God to speak to you face to face like he did Moses, because you want to be his friend and know his ways.

      Tanner from Louisiana,
      God Richly Bless you for boldly speaking truth in LOVE. Beyond Excellent write. Was praying someone would address this issue. It’s Forgiveness, Prayer and the Bible. 2 Corinthians 1:All – highlighting:
      4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
      5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
      6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
      7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
      and Lord’s Prayer! We have rich teachings in the WORD!

    “The silence of our friends”??? Well, make that “the silence of our so-called friends.” 😛
    Adversity has a way of revealing who really cares about you—and who doesn’t. No doubt that’s also the inspiration behind the saying “grief rewrites your address book.”

    Hi Mario, My condolences in the recent home going of your mom. Your story blessed me. Concerning the pastor’s conference in Manteca, I can’t make it because of work. Will it be recorded so I can get the information? I’d like to be a part of what is going on. Pastor Michael Frantz Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

    Well said Mario.

  74. NewHeavenOnEarth

    the Silence of the Lamb movie is gross; the silence of the Lamb of God opening the seventh seal is awesome in power and wonder, and I pray that people will wake up and receive the seal of God upon their foreheads before the seven trumpets of the seven angels to keep them from being harmed in the seven woes
