They r great bullies and oppressors of the poor, d orphans and strangers. They sent 4 kkk to brutalise, terrorise and made 9 attempts to poison and kill me secretly after Hearsts runaway 18-wheeler flew over d road to hit my car head-on.. Failing, America then changed its tactics to try to kill me secretly by d authorities as in d story of Patty Hearst, Daniel in d Bible and Jesus Christ At d Harris County Court in Houston, a black giant Gestapo constable strangled and choked me and carried me into jail with one hand. D pains were unimaginable. Eventually, judge Alex Green brought me out but ignoring d CCTV footage, instructed d constables to frame 3 false charges to lock me up again. They also returned d verdict tt it was my fault tt Hearst's runaway 18-wheelwr flew over d road to hit my car and thus, I was not entitled to claim insurance. I had to be medically retired as a prison officer and lay pastor in d Singapore Prisons Dept. God sent Dr Wayne Clark from S California to pray for me and a stream of fire flowed into me. God added d fire to d golden censer (me) and OVERTURNED it on d earth as in Rev 8. Golden censer is symbolic of faith in God thru prayers undergoing fiery trials. USA fulfilled d prophecy of Obadiah to break d eternal covenant of brotherly love made with God thru d shed blood of Jesus Christ. D covenant requires d blood of Ephraim (USA & western nations of d cross) to be shed. It's d nature of blood covenant. God d faithful one fulfills d prophecy of Psalms 18 to make me into David to turn d USA into dust.

Don’t make comments that try and point fingers as if “People” aren’t doing enough to get water to the west coast area that overbuilt in arid areas and are now suffering from the lack of it. Everyone knows you take chances when you build in a flood plane, many of these ranches are hundreds of years old and established before the government told you what you could build on your own land. You simply dealt with the good and the bad of what came your way. It builds character to overcome adversity. They don’t (didn’t) have food trucks come by with a prepackaged lunch or stand by a crossroads with a cardboard sign asking for handouts either. They dug in and put the damage behind them and moved forward. If we can’t build a pipeline because it could disturb some species habitat, than the same applies to making a water pipeline to water the desert.

May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏 Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕 We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖 People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏 Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. 💖🔥🕊️🙏 Praise God 🙏💖Hallelujah Jesus🙏💖 In Jesus powerful name. 🙏🔥🕊️ 💖

@@greg2976 It only looks flat because of the ridiculous amount of water. I’m spitballing these numbers, but I’m making an honest effort. let’s say the river where those houses are is typically 80 ft wide. Then there are massive banks that rise sixty vertical feet up and expand out where from bank to bank you can probably fit at least a football field lengthwise. ALL of that completely filled up and now it’s flowing outside those boundaries. It’s never even come CLOSE to that in my lifetime (42 years), and we’ve had some BIG water years. So, like I said, I still generally agree that if you’re going to build in this area you have to accept flooding as a possibility, it is really one of those 100+ year (at least) events. Just like building a home in Miami, really. Or in tornado alley. Gonna happen at some point, but you can understand why people live there.
