" Psalm 91:1 (KJV) What is the result of dwelling in this secret place? Deliverance and protection are guaranteed. God promises: Those who dwell in the secret place align their words with God's truth. They do not speak sickness, lack, or fear, but life, health, and victory. "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity." Beloved, make it your priority to dwell in the Word, to hide in God's promises, and to live under His shadow. Protection, provision, and peace will follow you all the days of your life.

1+ hour, 22+ min ago (799+ words) Where the X in Xmas comes from A thousand years of Christian shorthand Long before Christmas cards and shop signs, monks and clerks were using X as a holy abbreviation in handwritten documents to save time and space. An early attestable English example comes from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle around 1100, where "Christmas" appears as "Xp'es m'sse", an early spelling of "Christ's mass" (Christmas) using the X contraction." From there, a whole family of abbreviations developed: "Christian" could be written "Xian", "Christopher" as "Xopher", "Christina" as "Xina", and "Christmas" as "Xmas". In each case the X is not deleting Christ but standing in for him, drawing directly on the first letter of his Greek title. When a sign or card uses "Xmas", it is unknowingly borrowing an incredibly old Christian code." The many meanings of X Once you recognise that X can…...

1+ hour, 23+ min ago (198+ words) The Church commemorates of Hieromartyr Eleutherius and his mother Anthia. Saint Eleftherius came from Rome. His mother Anthia was catechized in Christian faith by Paul the Apostle and raised her son according to the teachings of the Holy Gospel and the tradition of the Church. At the age of fifteen, Saint Eleftherius was ordained a deacon, after receiving the Christian education and discipline. Later, due to his spiritual struggles and virtuous life, he became bishop of Illyricum. When informed of the strong morals and Christian activities of the young Eleftherius, the emperor Hadrian, out of envy and arrogance, ordered his arrest. After many tortures and miraculous events, he encouraged the faithful and humiliated the arrogance and audacity of the pagans. He was then led by the pagans to the arena of Rome. The wild beasts, however, did not touch him;…...

Concelebrating with the Primate of the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine were Bishop Ephrem of Vasylkiv, the brotherhood of the monastery, and visiting clergy. Following the Gospel reading, Metropolitan Epiphaniy delivered his primatial homily and offered a special prayer to the Lord for Ukraine, which continues to endure a time of severe trials, danger, and suffering. Metropolitan Epiphaniy emphasized that although the Messiah was long awaited, many among those first called failed to recognize and accept Him when He came. Quoting the Gospel of John, he recalled that Christ "came to His own, and His own did not receive Him," while those who did receive Him were granted the grace to…...

1+ hour, 29+ min ago (603+ words) TOPIC:The Root Of Wickedness (Seeds Of Destiny 15 December 2025) SCRIPTURE:Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Romans 13:8-9. One of the greatest challenges on earth today is the alarming rate of wickedness sponsored by the shortage of love. The thief steals because he does not love those he steals from. The killer kills because he does not love his victims. The rapist rapes because he doesn't love those he rapes. The fraudulent government official is greedy, fraudulent and wicked because he does…...

2+ hour, 15+ min ago (802+ words) A leading Catholic exorcist is sounding the alarm about artificial intelligence, warning that new technologies, from generative AI to voice-mimicking consumer products, are rapidly becoming vectors for occult practice, spiritual deception, and demonic influence. In a December 10 telephone interview with The Dallas Express, Father Szada, a Catholic priest in Pennsylvania with 47 years in ministry and 14 years of experience as an exorcist, said AI is already being weaponized in ways most Church leaders are unprepared to confront. Though Father Szada describes himself as a lifelong tech enthusiast, he now calls AI "a very serious problem" emerging on the front lines of spiritual warfare. "The tech itself is not the problem," he said. "It's the use to which it's put " those who are into the occult, witchcraft, and demonology are using AI as vehicles to cast spells and curses." Father Szada says…...
