I remember a FEMA agent say you have to expect that living on the Gulf of Mexico. He thought Sabine lake was the gulf. Not funny but you have to laugh. We were in the midst of remodeling our modest home when we got 5 feet of water in our home and water in all but 14 homes. We are surrounded by water on 3 sides. We had flood insurance and you would be astounded by the number of people who did not. It was a hard time building back but easier with flood insurance.

Are YOU READY to LIVE UNDER GOD'S PUNISHMENT? 🙏 When the WORDS of GOD COME to YOU and YOU are TESTED, HOW WILL YOU ACT? And WHAT will you DO when you are FACED with ALL KINDS of FACTS? In the PAST, your focus was NOT on LIFE; in the PRESENT, you must ENTER into the REALITY of LIFE, and ASK for CHANGES in your LIFE DISPOSITION. This is what the PEOPLE of the KINGDOM must GET. 🙏 ALL GOD'S PEOPLE must HAVE LIFE, they must ACCEPT KINGDOM TRAINING, and DESIRED CHANGES in their LIFE DISPOSITION. This is what GOD ASKED of the PEOPLE of the KINGDOM. ☀️🙏 The demands of God from the people of the kingdom are as follows. 1. They must ACCEPT GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS, which means, they must ACCEPT ALL the WORDS SPOKE in GOD'S WORK in the LAST DAYS. 🙏 2. They must ENTER KINGDOM TRAINING. 🙏 3. They should DESIRE for GOD to touch their HEARTS. When your HEART is FULLY TURNED to GOD, and you have a NORMAL SPIRITUAL LIFE, YOU WILL LIVE in a PLACE of FREEDOM, which MEANS YOU WILL LIVE UNDER the CARE and PROTECTION of GOD'S LOVE. When you LIVE UNDER GOD'S CARE and CARE, only then will you belong to GOD. 🙏 4. They must GET GOD. 🙏 5. They must be a MANIFESTATION of GOD'S GLORY on EARTH. 🙏 These five points are My INSTRUCTIONS for you. My WORDS are SPOKE to GOD'S PEOPLE, and if you are NOT READY to ACCEPT these INSTRUCTIONS, I WILL NOT FORCE YOU---but if you REALLY ACCEPT them, YOU CAN DO GOD'S WILL. In the PRESENT TIME, YOU BEGIN to ACCEPT GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS, and SEEK to be PEOPLE of the KINGDOM and REACH the STANDARDS NECESSARY to be PEOPLE of the KINGDOM. This is the FIRST STEP of ENTRY. If you want to fully do the WILL of GOD, you must ACCEPT these FIVE INSTRUCTIONS, and if you CAN ACHIEVE them, you will be AFTER GOD'S HEART and DEFINITELY BENEFIT from GOD. ☀️🙏 The MOST IMPORTANT thing NOW is to GET into KINGDOM TRAINING. ☀️ ENTERING into KINGDOM TRAINING INCLUDES SPIRITUAL LIFE. Before, there was NO TALKING ABOUT the SPIRITUAL LIFE, but NOW, as you START ENTERING the KINGDOM TRAINING, YOU OFFICIALLY ENTER the SPIRITUAL LIFE. 🙏 From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... (Rev. 19:13). 📩 Calling and leading everyone to His lowered Kingdom or Church because it is still standing on earth in the holy place in the air/ youtube "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD 💐 this is the fulfillment of what He said to Peter 2,000 years ago, recorded in (Matthew 16:18'19). This is the the only Church of each one of our spirit that we must listen to or eat and drink like how we eat, dress and sleep every day so that He can guide us and change us by rejecting the evil attached by Satan so as to be perfect, having attained eternal life that will enter the coming replacement of the New Heaven and New Earth. 📥 👉 Note💌 The coming of the Spirit of God incarnated in His second and last incarnation is the fulfillment of what was prophesied in the great book of Revelation so the last day or last age has come and His coming is to judge and punish unrighteousness of a person so that the pure or perfect person will be able to enter the approaching New Heaven and New Earth in the final judgment that all souls at that time will be reborn to receive the appropriate corresponding punishment (the one that will be destroyed and will no longer exist ) orthe reward of living forever in the New World. 💟

Derecho is the most underrated weather event in terms of power and impact. Few people are aware that they exist but they pack a serious punch with those sustained straight line wind gusts. Stay safe out there everybody!

[@cedriclynch]

Am I right in thinking that a derecho is the same thing as what used to be called a line squall in English but now translated into Spanish?

[@OGAcidSunsets]

@@cedriclynch a squall line is just a line of convective thunderstorms along a cold front that often bring precipitation, lightning, strong linear winds, and sometimes rotating storms and tornados. A derecho is sort of an enhanced version of a squall line, usually at least 250 miles long. Normally they only contain straight line winds, but often with gusts over 100 MPH. Derechos are generally fast moving, but they’re massive enough that they take awhile to pass by, and by the time they do, the winds have had enough time to cause significant damage over very large areas

[@graziflorida4377]

@alishashadows9599 ....those are the results of 200 years of human's activity. This is just the beginning. The end ( destruction of life on Planet Earth), also called " Human Extinction" already started. I know it is hard to process, and it is hard to believe it. But once we have an arctic free ice, the world temperature will rise dramatically. We will experience heat waves of 150 degrees, loss of power, we have 450 Nuclear Power Plants that will be out of control, agriculture will be out of control, food prices will be 10 times higher, that will trigger survival instinct with 200% raise of criminal activities ( already happening in California) Daily shooting is now considered the Norm when it used to happen once a month. Death caused by heat strokes, loss of human habitat. Major non paid scientists ( the paid once you hear on the news are paid to lie) are considering IRREVIRSIBLE ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE the cause of LIFE EXTINCTION by 2026/2027. Free Arctic ice = Free LIFE PLANET !! WE ARE AT THE END. Harvard biologist E. O. Wilson says that 30,000 species per year are being driven to extinction. That's a rate of 82 species per day. (Or, if you want to get even more granular, four species every hour.)Mar 30, 2023 Get ready my friend, it is too late to go back. WHAT IS COMING IS IRREVIRSIBLE .
