DAVID's mighty MEN

 

Psalm 127:1

King James Version

127 Except the Lord build the house, 

they labour in vain that build it: 

except the Lord keep the city, 

the watchman waketh but in vain.


Funny how SPIRIT led me to this article.

First, He made me pay attention to the word "tenant".

After which, as a natural recourse, He knew I'd turn to the word "lieutenant".

And play some more with that word, thinking, in "lieu" of a "tenant".

But, of course, SPIRIT wanted me to focus on the word "lieutenant".

And this is what I learned from AV1611:

LIEUTENANT, n. luten'ant. L. tenens, holding.

1. An officer who supplies the place of a superior in his absence. Officers of this kind are civil, as the lord-lieutenant of a kingdom or county; or military, as a lieutenant general, a lieutenant colonel.

2. In military affairs, the second commissioned officer in a company of infantry cavalry or artillery.

3. In ships of war, the officer next in rank to the captain.


Knowing I've warmed up to the idea, SPIRIT then led me to some verses in the Old Testament, which led me to king David.

2 Samuel 23:1-2

King James Version

23 Now these be the last words of David. 

David the son of Jesse said, 

and the man who was raised up on high, 

the anointed of the God of Jacob, 

and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, 

and his word was in my tongue.


GOD told David how leaders ought to be:

2 Samuel 23:3

King James Version

3 The God of Israel said, 

the Rock of Israel spake to me, 

He that ruleth over men must be just, 

ruling in the fear of God.


Then, SPIRIT led me to David's people, and of his anointing.

1 Chronicles 11:1-3

King James Version

11 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David 

unto Hebron, saying, 

Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 And moreover in time past, 

even when Saul was king, 

thou wast he that leddest out 

and broughtest in Israel: 

and the Lord thy God said unto thee, 

Thou shalt feed my people Israel, 

and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel 

to the king to Hebron; 

and David made a covenant with them 

in Hebron before the Lord; 

and they anointed David king over Israel, 

according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.


After which, SPIRIT, through Scripture, told me of Israel's enemies.

1 Chronicles 11:4-5

King James Version

4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, 

which is Jebus*; where the Jebusites were, 

the inhabitants of the land.

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, 

Thou shalt not come hither. 

Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, 

which is the city of David.


This is how David responded:

1 Chronicles 11:6

King James Version

6 And David said, 

Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first 

shall be chief and captain. 

So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, 

and was chief.


Thus, the founding of the city of David**.

1 Chronicles 11:7-8

King James Version

7 And David dwelt in the castle; 

therefore they called it the city of David.

8 And he built the city round about, 

even from Millo round about: 

and Joab repaired the rest of the city.


All this was possible through GOD.

1 Chronicles 11:9

King James Version

9 So David waxed greater and greater: 

for the Lord of hosts was with him.


Then SPIRIT told me of David's men:

1 Chronicles 11:10

King James Version

10 These also are the chief of the mighty men 

whom David had, 

who strengthened themselves with him 

in his kingdom, and with all Israel, 

to make him king, 

according to the word of the Lord 

concerning Israel.


These became his trusted lieutenants:

1 Chronicles 11:11

King James Version

11 And this is the number of the mighty men 

whom David had;

Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, 

the chief of the captains: 

he lifted up his spear against three hundred 

slain by him at one time.


2 Samuel 23:8

King James Version

8 These be the names of the mighty men 

whom David had: 

The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, 

chief among the captains; 

the same was Adino the Eznite: 

he lift up his spear against eight hundred, 

whom he slew at one time.


2 Samuel 23:9-10

King James Version

9 And after him was Eleazar 

the son of Dodo the Ahohite, 

one of the three mighty men with David, 

when they defied the Philistines 

that were there gathered together to battle, 

and the men of Israel were gone away:

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines 

until his hand was weary, 

and his hand clave unto the sword: 

and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; 

and the people returned after him only to spoil.


2 Samuel 23:11-13

King James Version

11 And after him was Shammah 

the son of Agee the Hararite. 

And the Philistines were gathered together 

into a troop, 

where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: 

and the people fled from the Philistines.

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, 

and defended it, and slew the Philistines: 

and the Lord wrought a great victory.

13 And three of the thirty chief went down, 

and came to David in the harvest time 

unto the cave of Adullam: 

and the troop of the Philistines 

pitched in the valley of Rephaim.


2 Samuel 23:14-17

King James Version

14 And David was then in an hold, 

and the garrison of the Philistines 

was then in Bethlehem.

15 And David longed, and said, 

Oh that one would give me drink 

of the water of the well of Bethlehem, 

which is by the gate!

16 And the three mighty men brake through 

the host of the Philistines, 

and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, 

that was by the gate, and took it, 

and brought it to David: 

nevertheless he would not drink thereof, 

but poured it out unto the Lord.

17 And he said, 

Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: 

is not this the blood of the men that went 

in jeopardy of their lives? 

therefore he would not drink it. 

These things did these three mighty men.


2 Samuel 23:18-19

King James Version

18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, 

the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. 

And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, 

and slew them, and had the name among three.

19 Was he not most honourable of three? 

therefore he was their captain: 

howbeit he attained not unto the first three.


2 Samuel 23:20-23

King James Version

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 

the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, 

who had done many acts, 

he slew two lionlike men of Moab: 

he went down also and slew a lion 

in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: 

and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; 

but he went down to him with a staff, 

and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, 

and slew him with his own spear.

22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 

and had the name among three mighty men.

23 He was more honourable than the thirty, 

but he attained not to the first three. 

And David set him over his guard.


2 Samuel 23:24-39

King James Version

24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; 

Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite, 

Elika the Harodite,

26 Helez the Paltite, 

Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

27 Abiezer the Anethothite, 

Mebunnai the Hushathite,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, 

Maharai the Netophathite,

29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, 

Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah 

of the children of Benjamin,

30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, 

Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,

31 Abialbon the Arbathite, 

Azmaveth the Barhumite,

32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, 

of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,

33 Shammah the Hararite, 

Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite,

34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, 

the son of the Maachathite, 

Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,

35 Hezrai the Carmelite, 

Paarai the Arbite,

36 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, 

Bani the Gadite,

37 Zelek the Ammonite, 

Nahari the Beerothite, 

armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah,

38 Ira an Ithrite, 

Gareb an Ithrite,

39 Uriah the Hittite: 

thirty and seven in all.


Such was valor in those days.

Wherein Israel sought GOD for victory.

In the New Testament, here's the Source of our victory:

1 Corinthians 15:57

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.


If we are not victorious today, it is only because we don't seek JESUS.

It's really as simple as that.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


Let GOD govern, through His Son, JESUS.

And be taught by the HOLY SPIRIT -- as born again -- that you may be wise.

Lastly, GIVE all GLORY to GOD.

That's how we can have good governments, able governments, just governments, and godly governments.

Something the world needs badly right now.

The GENERALS are HAPPY again

1 Corinthians 16:13

King James Version

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, 

quit you like men, be strong.


American generals are happy again.

Never mind that they're retired.

These are the generals who've seen much.

Have known much.

And have served various administrations.

They've been waiting for this moment.

For a real president to set foot in the White House.

And to take charge, leading America back to strength.


Through Trump, they finally have a decisive president at the helm.

They've got a president they can respect.

America will be safe, and respected again.

We can never undermine the experience of these men.

These short videos show these proud generals.

We honor them, for speaking much truth.

The very truth we've also been waiting to hear:

Trump is 'picking up where he left off,' retired U.S. general says

'NON-NEGOTIABLE': Retired U.S. General warns Israel won't allow Hamas in Gaza


The perfect interview can be seen from the FIRST video above.

It shows Retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Rob Spalding speaking.

He has served THREE administrations.

The Obama, Biden, and Trump administrations.

He's got a basis for comparison.


As such, he's seen the different leadership styles.

He's seen the National Security Council "agonize" over decisions.

Thus, as he said, the terrorists end up "getting away".

Referring to Trump and the strike on ISIS in Somalia yesterday, he says, 

"It's good to see him actually make 

a quick decision to go after the threat."


Even Israel PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, cannot hide the smile, even excitement from his face, as he prepared to fly to Washington yesterday:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Before taking off for an official visit in Washington


He is the FIRST foreign leader invited by president Trump to the White House.

That, for him, is "telling".

After all, Islamic terrorists have targeted both nations.

They must stand together.

GOD wills it.


I knew that, the moment GOD gave me a verse indicating Trump's "win" before the 2024 elections.

Of course, he won.

And I knew he was destined to help Israel.

Some things you just know when SPIRIT teaches you.

All because I'm born again.


I, too, am a moment-by-moment witness to wherever the HOLY SPIRIT leads me to regarding Israel, America, and the world.

GOD tasked me to care for both countries.

And to keep a caring eye for all other suffering countries.

Israel is the apple of GOD's eye.

And America her ally.

Is it any wonder they're both hated by Satan?


But GOD sent protection for Israel, and America.

The men are back in the White House.

The women are supporting their men.

The families are proud again.

The children have a future.

The world has an example to learn from.

Proving when your heart is in the right place -- looking to GOD, and loving your people -- miracles can happen.


Israel and America are not war freaks.

They are challenged to war.

They are being infiltrated, and destroyed.

Worse yet, from within.

They must defend their nations.

GOD gives them the power to do so.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

King James Version

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, 

that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, 

My grace is sufficient for thee: 

for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 

Most gladly therefore 

will I rather glory in my infirmities, 

that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, 

in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,

in distresses for Christ's sake: 

for when I am weak, then am I strong.


CHRIST's enemy is fighting a lost cause.

Because his cause is hatred, confusion, and destruction.

GOD's cause is love, clarity, and salvation.

There's the difference in defeat, versus victory.

We did say, Satan has a "SERIOUS learning disability".

He doesn't know when to quit.


Well, GOD's sending the "cavalry" now.

A cavalry of strong, focused, GOD-fearing men.

How can anyone ever think of defeating such?

That's why the generals are smiling again.

The SIMPLEST government

Proverbs 9:10

King James Version

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: 

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.


All I know, I know through SPIRIT.

Today, He "feeds" me an idea.

A revolutionary idea.

A ticklish idea, but a brilliant idea.

He knows it will percolate in my brain.

And it shall brew right.

Sure did.


Before you know it, we've created a "NEW" government in our heart.

The SIMPLEST. and most REVOLUTIONARY, government.

A government that governs ALL nations.

Where peace, love, joy, and harmony will thrive.

You will not need a U.N.


Consider this:

GOD is President.

JESUS is Vice-President.

The HOLY SPIRIT is House Speaker.


Now, time to back it up with Scripture.


What makes GOD "president"?

Romans 13:1 

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject 

unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.


What makes JESUS "vice-president"?

Colossians 2:10

King James Version

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head 

of all principality and power:


What makes the HOLY SPIRIT "house speaker"?

Mark 13:11

King James Version

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, 

take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, 

neither do ye premeditate: 

but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: 

for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.


Now, let's take it a step further.

The CONSTITUTION.

As a kid, I was taught the Constitution is the "law of the land".

I thank my social studies teacher for giving the best, and simplest definition.

What shall it be then, if GOD governs?

The Bible, of course.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


But what if there are many religions?

Precisely the cause of never-ending chaos.

Satan really knew what he was doing when he messed up our brains.

And put hatred in our hearts.


If you really want peace, it's doable.

You just need to believe in ONE GOD.

With citizens being born again.

Being new creatures in CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; behold, 

all things are become new.


Can you now imagine a world of peace?

Of course, you can.

Of course, you want to.

Except Satan doesn't want you to.

Nevertheless, GOD's WILL be done.

It's an idea whose time has come today.


We need to have this simplest government.

If we are to become part of the Rapture.

You will not want to be left behind.

And endure a godless government.

It will be hell.

Mega MAGA Trump

Psalm 112:7-8

King James Version

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: 

his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, 

until he see his desire upon his enemies.


He's in "enemy" territory.

Right in the dragon's lair.

He couldn't care less.

He has a duty.

He has to save America.

He has to help Israel.

He has to stop all nonsense.

He has to bring back common sense.

He has to make America a shining example.

He has to wake people up.

He has to junk woke, left, and DEI agendas.

He has to activate other governments.

All these he can do because we are witness to something.

Trump was chosen by GOD, to lead America.

And possibly, all other nations.


What does president Trump do?

Face the lions outright.

Face WEF.

The enemy's territory.

The one responsible for all the DEI, left, and woke nonsense.

Maybe even the one responsible for fires -- to create 15-minute cities -- you never really know...

The organization which seems to control the world, with its environmental, elite, and health agendas.

Which we foresee, crashing.


How does Trump conquer?

Say things as they are.

In his usual simple, direct, and fearless manner.

State facts.

Talk business.

Talk deals.

Talk progress.

Paint a doable vision.

Excite, through possibilities.

And yes, even "provoke", if need be.

The man's become a "brand".

All his own.


His intention?

Uphold the right.

Congratulate the bright.

Work through GOD's might.


The method?

Call things as they are.

Institute reform.

Make things possible.

Act on your plans.

Turn to GOD again.

Make people happy, hopeful, and healthy again.

Make the economy active, and robust, again.

Make people enjoy work again.

Make America safe again.

Make America rich again.

Make America healthy again.

"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."


And for his critics?

Wake up the wimps.

Wake up the woke.

Wake up the wanderers.

Wake up wasteful governments.


Why does Trump go about like a "steamroller?

Because today is his day.

Because America needs it.

Because America owes US$36 trillion.

Because the past administration left him TONS of problems.

As Trump said in Davos:

"We just want that debt be obliterated."


How does he go about it?

The practical president does away with waste.

He raises cash.

He makes deals.

He makes people work.

He makes people help.

He comes up with ideas.

He raises the tariffs on abusive countries.

He trims down government, to basic essentials.

He takes out America from ambivalent organizations.

No matter how initially outrageous, people warm up to it.

Somehow, they begin to think, "Why not?"


You see, that's what the world needs.

Someone who is CHRIST-appointed, courageous, caring, and creative.

Inspired, imaginative, intelligent.

Brave, bold, brazen.

Hardworking.

Focused.


No room for wimps, and whiners, at Trump's cabinet.

America had suffered too long under the Dems.

Can't really blame them alone, though.

What happened to the Republicans all that time?

Trump rages, and cringes, at all that waste.

Both intellectual, and fiscal waste.


I cringe, too.

Starting with Clinton who squandered his presidency.

Over Monica?

C'mon, Bill!

You could have signed many other bills.

Like what Trump did, soon after having been sworn in.

He signed -- was it 100, or 200 -- executive orders?

All I know is he took action.

And answers the media, as he was signing, too!

Talk about MAJOR multi-tasking.

Without missing one beat.


People want to check Einstein's brain.

I want to check Trump's.

By documenting him each day.

As the HOLY SPIRIT prompts me.

And by GOD, we haven't stopped writing!


He's probably the most hardworking president in world history.

As 95% of media lambasted him, he worked.

As 95% of the world slept, he worked.

As 77-M Americans voted for him, he worked.

He's a working, waste-hating president.

But he can't do it alone.

He needs you.


What he does for America, will be a shining example.

Of what is possible, when GOD gives you another chance at the presidency,

Of what you can do, when GOD "spares" your life.

Trump knows all that.

He's not about to waste a second.


GOD will not let him be devoured.

GOD will devour them, through Trump.

GOD chose him for this purpose.

A man whose stomach is steel.

A man whose brain works non-stop.

A man whose heart is in the right place.

A man who puts his mouth where his heart is.

A man, unashamed, unabashed, unstoppable.


This is the man GOD chose for the job.

This is the man who will set things right in the world.

A warrior, a survivor, a deal maker, a courageous leader.

And one who can dance, and listen.


The world nearly folded up.

Men were not men anymore.

Women had become men.

Children were in danger.

Terrorists ran the world.

Citizens were afraid to speak up.

Many were oppressed.

GOD was set aside.

Satan deceived everyone.

Churches had gone woke.


When success starts with America, expect it to roll through the world.

She's still the GREATEST nation, no matter what.

That's why Satan set his claws upon her.

He wanted her weakened.

Even lost.


For a time she was.

But not under Trump's watch.

Look, he's only been in office since the 20th of January.

What day is it today?

In my country, it's the 24th.

Golly.

He's only been in office four days.

He's barely warmed his chair.

Not that he intends to.


He's a man of action.

A man with a mission.

A man appointed by GOD.

A man many hope greatly upon.

How can he sit upon his victory, when there's TONS to do?

Look what he declared at his inauguration.


We've noticed he goes for the "jugular".

He zeroes in on WEF.

He zeroes in on Biden, and Kamala.

He zeroes in on California's Newsom and Bass.

The raging fires exposed their inept management.

We can't even call it "leadership".

For lack of a better word, let's stick to "management" for now.

Even that's a stretch.

And to think, Trump already warned Newsom in 2018, about fire prevention.

But no, the slick-haired, rich Dem dude ignored the Republican.

Now, California's burnin'.


Newsom intends to use US$50-M to "Trump-proof" CA.

This man's lost ALL sense.

His ego's been "hit" hard, that's why.

No thanks to Trump.

Sometimes, the prez does name-calling.

We shall not repeat the name he had for Newsom.

We will not propagate his pain.


Now, the guv'nor's out for "blood".

But is it a smart, or worthy, cause?

Is it what CA needs right now?

Consider these:

1. California's burning, and he wants revenge upon Trump?

2. He's using taxpayer's money for his revenge.

3 He's fighting the president America elected.

4. He has no respect for GOD's "elect".


That's enough to get him fired.

Will he get fired?

To an overseas, born again watchman like me, I find Newsom funny.

California is ONLY one state in America.

America has 49 other states.

She's only part, and parcel, of America.

The same goes for the two other rebellious states.

New York, and Illinois.

What Bill O'Reilly calls the three "mismanaged" states.


Think about this, guv'nor Newsom.

If Trump can face WEF, what does that make you?

Do you honestly think you, or your Dems, frighten him?

Does your 50 mil scare him?

Golly.

He shall be visiting you soon, you know!

Prepare for battle.

Which you've already lost.


I'd be surprised if CA continues to vote Dems, Bass, or Kamala.

Now, that's really gonna make me fall off my chair.

Newsom's  guv'nor'ship ends in 2026.

Sorry to say, but it's a "sunken" ship.

He must row a different boat.

One called "Humility".


I have questions for Dems, Newsom, and Bass, too:

Doesn't your shamelessness ever end?

How can you have failed your citizens, and country?

How can you send your citizens to "hell in a handbasket"?

Is that why California burns?


Well, a new sheriff is in town.

Prepare to answer for your failings.

And please, stop your wimpy excuses.

Take FULL responsibility.

It was during "your" watch.

Same with mayor Bass.

They need to resign.

As the Hughes fire rages, Newsom and Bass are not visible.


Methinks Bill Miranda, the mayor of Sta. Clarita, could do a better job.

He MUST become GOVERNOR of CALIFORNIA!

He's only got 20,000 residents in his county.

But he was visible.

Reporting periodically.

After past fires a decade ago, he reassured America.

He was confident in his county's fire-preparedness yesterday.

Listen to his report today.


Oh, no wonder.

He's an Air Force veteran.

Calm, cool, collected, capable, courageous.

And organized.

Has got heart, too!

Hopefully, he's Republican.


Has Trump done more for any presidency, than many presidents combined?

Considering he's just been in office three, or four days (depending on your time zone), we'd say he's done a MEGA MAGA job.

Go, go, go, Mr. President!

You've got GOD protecting you!

You've got this workman "watching" over you!

You've got many people praying for you!

Not one hair from your wonderful head will perish.

JESUS told believers:

Luke 21:18

King James Version

18 But there shall not 

an hair of your head perish.
