“Pastor Ronald Harris Sr. Joins The Hall Shame of Preachers Gone Wild!"


Pastor Ronald Harris Sr. was killed for allegedly sleeping with another man wife
                             



The people of God have had to endure “preachers gone wild” since biblical times.  When Eli was the Judge and High Priest over Israel, his sons Hophni and Phinehas were sleeping with women at the temple and running wild in lust and perverse behavior (1 Samuel 2:22-25) . They were unrestrained in their behavior, and saw no need to repent of their physical and spiritual adulterous behavior. This resulted in the judgment of God (1Samuel 3:11-14).

Even now in the 21st century in the church, we have some “preachers gone wild.”  They are generally driven by the lust for fame, sex, and money. Unfortunately, today in the church world integrity, morality, humility, and anointing take a back seat to showmanship, talent, pride, and those who can draw big crowds and money.  They look to be “Sunday’s best” by being the hottest preacher or singer instead of living holy every day of the week and presenting their bodies to be living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God which is their reasonable service (Romans12:1).
In the last couple of years there have been scandals of pastors caught in immorality. Why is this? The American church has been caught in the trap of pursuing the most popular, crowd-commanding preacher to put it on the map instead of  praying and seeking the face of God to see if the Holy Spirit has endorsed the preacher or not (Acts 13:1-3).  For the most part it seems like churches are not trying to build the kingdom of God through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, but through devilish sensual earthly wisdom (James 3:15).
These scandals of immorality on the pulpit range from adulterous affairs, to sexual assaults against female members, even murder. Believe me, the Catholic Church is not the only church that has its sex scandals of molestation.  Pentecostal and Charismatic( among other Christian denominations) circles have been touched heavily by sexual immorality also.
Hall of Shame for Preachers Gone Wild!!!

Pastor Ronald Harris Sr.


Pastor Tracy Bernard Burleson


In 2010, like something written out of a soap opera, Houston pastor Tracy Bernard Burleson of the First New Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas was accused of killing his wife.Police state that Burleson paid his 20 year old stepson, William Darnnell Fuller, to kill his stepmother Pauletta Ross Burleson. Mrs. Burleson was found dead from a single gunshot that pierced her head and neck. Along with the arrest of Pastor Burleson and William Fuller, a third person, Tyonne Marie Palmer-Pollard, was arrested for tampering with evidence. Palmer-Pollard was having an affair with both Pastor Burleson and William Fuller at the same time. Also to note, before being murdered, Mrs. Burleson was aware of the multiple affairs her husband had with other women. Burleson is now serving life in prison.


Terry Hornbuckle




On August 28, 2006 Terry Hornbuckle, pastor of the mega-church Agape Christian Fellowship Church in Arlington, Texas was con­victed of raping and drugging three women.  Two of these women were members of Hornbuckle church. Not only was it found that Hornbuckle was a rapist, but that he also smoked meth. He even smoked meth with one of his victims, drugged her then raped her! He ended up receiving a fifteen year prison sentence. Hornbuckle before being exposed publicly received counseling privately from several ministers in the area. One of the ministers was Pastor Sherman Allen of Shiloh Institutional Church of God in Christ in Fort Worth, TX.   It can be said that Allens’ counseling Hornbuckle was a bad idea.  Allen has been accused of assaulting women and sexually abusing them. How can somebody that has same perverse spirit lead someone else to deliverance? This is hypocrisy and an abomination before the eye’s of the Lord!  Thirty five women accused Allen of beating them with a pad­dle.  Some even said that this paddling turned into sexual abuse.  The presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ, Bishop Charles Blake, suspended Allen because of this.  However, despite being suspended by Bishop Blake, Allen has continued to pastor his church and has changed the name of the church to Shiloh Institutional Church and has dropped the “Church of God in Christ” at the end. 
Allegations of abuse go all the way back to 1983 for Allen. Lawsuits have been filed against him with criminal charges pending.  Yet, he continues to pastor like nothing ever happened and is still unaccountable to leadership.  Its business as usual with his church and some of the big name preachers still run to his conferences despite his “major character flaws and issues.” 

Sergio Alvarizares



In Portland Oregon, October 2007, police arrested Pastor Sergio Alvarizares for allegedly sexually abusing eight women in his congregation  Alvarizares was held on one account of rape in the first degree, two accounts of attempted rape in the first degree, and ten accounts of sex abuse in the first degree. He was later sentence to three years of prison in June 2008, after pleading guilty to attempted rape and third degree sexual abuse of sexually assaulting five women.



Anthony Hopkins


The next preacher to commit heinous acts of sexual immorality and murder is Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins a traveling evangelist (some had consider him a prophet) from Alabama.  He was arrested by police during a revival at Inspirational Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Jackson, Alabama for the murder of his wife. Anthony Hopkins killed his wife after she caught him having sex with a teenage relative in 2004. He eventually stuffed his wife’s body in a freezer.  It wasn’t until 2008 that his step-daughter led the police to her mother’s body. On May 21, 2010 Hopkins was sentence to life in prison , he was convicted for murder, sodomy, and sexual abuse.



Paul Cain and Ted Haggard

Paul Cain

Male church leaders not only get caught up with women, but with sleeping with other men. In 2006 Ted Haggard, the pastor of New Life Church, a mega church in Colorado Springs(Haggard did repent), Colorado was ex­posed when he was caught having an affair with a male prostitute. Paul Cain, a noted Prophet, was exposed in 2004 engaging in long-term homosexual activity.
These problems are prevalent because of the lack of accountability, discernment, spiritual fatherhood and mentoring, and lack of correc­tion. Pride, arrogance, prayerlessness, the love of money and the lack of a repentant heart is causing preachers to go wild in sin.
No one can take glory for somebody falling into sin.  We are one body in Christ.  Therefore, when a leader blatantly sins against God it affects the whole body, brings a reproach, and profanes the name of the Lord.  As saints of God we must strive to be a positive witness so that our light might shine in a dark world.
Let us keep this in mind: if we have not fallen, it is only by the grace of God.  Through humility He gives us the grace to live a victorious lifestyle in Him (James 4:6-7).  Preachers let us take our eyes off popularity and fame, and keep them on Jesus Christ who is able to keep us from falling (Jude 24).
Remember, His grace is sufficient to keep us saved, and not go wild!

Have You Been Bewitched by Harry Potter?

See Harry's lighting bolt mark in his forehead is a Satanic Symbol.

Luke 10:18

King James Version (KJV)
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.


The Book Series Harry Potter has impacted Pop Culture. Movies have been made about J.K. Rowling’s book of the wizard boy.  In the American educational system, the book is now part of schools curriculum through Scholastic Book. Witchcraft/Wicca is the fastest growing religion in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. Wicca is now the third largest religion in the United States(source).





Harry Potter has Bewitched Young People in the Occult!





Some interesting facts from one study that showed indeed Harry Potter influenced teens into the occult:

41% of teens surveyed have seen Harry Potter movie or read the book one or more times.

Out of that 41% that seen or read Harry Potter 12% were more interested in witchcraft.

The number of kids surveyed who watch supernatural themed movies or television shows was 86%.

The study also showed that 40 percent of teens said there was no such thing as good and evil in the supernatural realm.


To see how many teen-agers were dabbling in psychic-occult experimentation, researchers listed a variety of activities and asked teens which ones they had participated in. The list included: palm reading, fortune telling, going to a spiritual medium, calling or visiting a psychic, playing with a Ouija board, playing a game that featured witchcraft elements, participating in a séance, trying to cast a spell and trying to mix a potion. One in four teens had experimented with three items on the list; one in 20 had done all the items (source). 

Generation Y:" A Generation Who Knew Not the Lord!"



The babies born between 1982 and 2002 are known as Generation Y or the Millennial Generation (here/here). This generation is unlike any other that America has ever seen, because their morals don't reflect Judeo-Christian values.  In fact, the values they reflect range from amoral to immoral. Let's look at some of the critical views of Generation Y:

1.  Eighty one percent of Generation Y approve of same-sex marriage (source)

2.  Six out 10 Believe Abortion Should Be Legal (source)

3.  Thirty two percent are non-religious (source).  They are losing faith in record numbers(source)

4.  Sixty-Five believe marijuana should be legalized (source).

This is the generation of American's who knew not God! A generation who hates good, but madly in love with evil. We need to fervently pray for this generation, and take more aggressive steps to properly evangelize to this group.




Judges 2:10

King James Version (KJV)
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.


Hosea 4:6

King James Version (KJV)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.



Generation Y needs a real Holy Ghost Revival in this land or they will perish in sin! The American Church needs to wake-up and preach the real "Gospel of Jesus Christ so sinners will repent and not perish!!!

Is Hell real or not?


Mark 8:36

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Pharmarkia/Sorcery Lil' Wayne's Sizzurp

Lil' Wayne AKA Lil' Sorcerer and his drink/potion of death!


Hip-Hop star Lil’ Wayne is influencing youth with his immoral music, music videos, and fashion.  It’s Interesting that Lil’ Wayne is imitating his art with real life.  In his song “It’s Time To Give Me Mine” he raps about drinking cough syrup (the slang word he uses is “sizzurp”).  In reality, he does sizzurp or drink Purple Drink to get high. Lil’ Wayne is helping to aid young people into a new way of getting high. In 2011, a national survey found that 1 out of 10 American teens used cough or cold medication to get high, making it more popular in that age group than cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and meth(U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Agency). One of the key ingredients in cough syrup is Dextromethorphan/DMX, found in Robitussin Cough Syrup DM.   









When abused it is a hallucinogenic that opens a person up to spiritual experiences in the demonic realm(source). This is a form witchcraft/ sorcery, it’s called pharmakeia (Pharmakeia is the Greek word for drugs; sorceries or witchcraft) found in Galatians 5:20; Revelation 9:21; Revelation 18:23. Lil’ Wayne is helping to indoctrinate a generation into practicing witchcraft by the use drugs.



      

Pharmarkeia= Drugs= Witchcraft= Eternal Damnation.

Prosperity Preacher/Pastor Embezzlement Case In Singapore



Singapore - A multimillion-dollar scandal involving a Christian pastor, his singer wife and a glamorous financial executive has gripped Singapore, with allegations of fraud and tantalising glimpses into the expensive process of making a pop star.
Kong Hee, 47, the pastor and founder of the 20,000-strong City Harvest Church, is on trial alongside five other church officials for an alleged scheme to siphon off Sg$24 million ($19 million) to finance the singing career of his wife Sun Ho.
The accused allegedly misappropriated another Sg$26 million to cover up the original diversion.
Ho, 41, an established Mandarin pop singer who co-founded the evangelical megachurch with her husband in 1989, moved to Los Angeles in 2009 to launch an English-language singing career before the scandal scuttled her showbiz ambitions.
She does not face any charges herself, appearing stoically with her husband for his court appearances as her music videos continue to draw hits on video-sharing site YouTube.
The video for her song "China Wine" -- in which she dances in a nightclub alongside the rapper Wyclef Jean -- has attracted more than one million views so far.
In another video, the reggae-tinged "Mr Bill", she plays a skimpily-clad Asian wife who calls herself a geisha and sings about killing her African-American husband, played by the male supermodel Tyson Beckford.
Ho also posed for numerous pictures at exclusive events with American celebrities as part of her image-building campaign.
Evidence reportedly produced in court showed that the church had earmarked more than US$10 million as its marketing budget -- "in line with Shakira's marketing budget and less than the budget for Beyonce" -- to boost her Hollywood foray.
The Straits Times said the documents also showed more than US$1.6 million was spent on production fees for Wyclef Jean. Channeled funds.

The church has defended Ho’s attempt to become an international music star as part of a “crossover” campaign to spread God's message to the secular world through pop music.
But prosecutors say Kong and his subordinates engaged in a practice called "round-tripping" by channelling money allotted for a church building fund into sham bonds in church-linked companies so they could finance Ho's music career.
They falsified church accounts to make it appear the bonds were redeemed, prosecutors say. All six accused deny the charges.
The trial, which went into recess on September 20 and will resume in January, exposed complex money dealings and drew attention to the financial might of evangelical Christian churches in the largely Buddhist and Taoist city-state.
The trial also created a buzz in the mainstream press and on social media thanks to the church's photogenic former financial manager, Serina Wee, a 36-year-old mother of three whose stylish courtroom outfits have turned her into a fashion icon.
Wee faces six charges of criminal breach of trust for her role in the alleged scam, and four other charges for falsifying accounts.
Jeaney Yip, an Australia-based academic who has studied the marketing methods of fast-growing churches, said they make Christian teachings attractive by drawing on pop culture.
"Whatever’s in fashion, whatever’s stylish, whatever looks cool is used and infused in megachurch practice," Yip said.
"Because of the religious and humanitarian element to giving, I do not think churchgoers generally question or pay attention to how the funds are managed," said Yip, a lecturer at the University of Sydney Business School.
"The issue is not in the giving; it is in the management of the funds received that deserves accountability and transparency."
City Harvest, which has 20,000 followers in Singapore and 49 affiliates in eight Asian territories, acquired a stake in one of the city-state's biggest convention centres in 2010 for Sg$310 million and holds its weekly services there.
Give and you shall receive
Terence Chong, a sociologist at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore, said some independent churches like City Harvest preach the "prosperity gospels" which seek to convince followers that offerings made to God through donations and voluntarism will be rewarded with spiritual and material blessings.
Singapore is one of the world’s wealthiest societies, with a per capita income of Sg$65,048 ($51,800) in 2012 according to official data.
"In essence, the prosperity gospels appeal to the culture of self-improvement and upward social mobility in capitalist societies," Chong said, adding that the followers tend to come mostly from the "emergent middle class".
The church's website exhorts members to donate money as a "form of worship" and lists acceptable credit cards.
"As we give, we have faith that He will never shortchange us," the website says.
"He will certainly bless our lives abundantly in return, because we can never out-give God!"

Blasphemous Hollywood Movies Mocking The Book of Revelation






This year Hollywood has produced two movies,  Rapture Palooza, and This Is The End that mock the book of Revelation and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These movies are further proof of the scriptures that state that in the last days scoffers, (a.k.a. evil men) will be more expressive in showing their contempt for Jesus Christ and their mocking of the Word of G-d. These two movies make the point of actually fulfilling Bible prophecy.

The Hollywood entertainment industry definitely has an Anti-Christ spirit.  It manifests itself in the ways of immorality and haters of The Word of G-d. Satan has used the industry to further his agenda of leading people astray from Jesus Christ and embracing his Satanic system. These movies are Satan's tool to lull  the World into believing that the soon coming Apocalypse/Judgment of G-d is just a silly fairy tale, that ultimately mankind will come out on top, and mankind will avoid the judgment of G-d.




Rapture Palooza 









This Is the End







In The Last Days Scoffers/Mockers Shall Arise 



WE'LL SEE WHO'LL BE LAUGHING WHEN YOUR INDUSTRY IS IN THE LAKE OF FIRE, HOLLYWOOD!!

 


2 Peter 3:2-4

Amplified Bible (AMP)
That you should recall the predictions of the holy (consecrated, dedicated) prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior [given] through your apostles (His special messengers).
To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers (mockers) will come in the last days with scoffing, [people who] walk after their own fleshly desires
And say, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the beginning of creation.

Jude 1:17-19

Amplified Bible (AMP)
17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions which were made by the apostles (the special messengers) of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
18 They told you beforehand, In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their own ungodly passions.
19 It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions—merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.

Navy Yard Shooter: Demon Possession/Video Games/Violent Behavior


Source Good Morning America Yahoo.com







Among the emerging details about Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexiswas the fact that the former Navy reservist was obsessed with military-style video games, according to one of his friends, Michael Ritrovato.
"It got so bad -- was in his room all the time. ... He'd be late for work," Ritrovato told ABC News. "The reason was because he was staying up all night playing video games."
It's still unclear whether Alexis's obsession with violent video games may have played a role in Monday's shooting.
But with the release of Grand Theft Auto V, one of the video game industry's most anticipated (and most mature-themed) titles, falling so close to yet another shooting rampage, it is sure to fuel the debate about video game violence and its real-world counterpart.
So, what bearing could Alexis's video game playing have on his actions?
Katherine Newman, author of the book "Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings," said that the question of how video games, as well as other kinds of violent media, influence violent behavior is a complex one. "There is an association, but it's not a very robust one," she told ABC News. "After all, millions of kids use video games as entertainment and almost none of them do these kinds of acts."
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), who sponsored the Violent Contact Research Act of 2013, said it's too soon to jump to conclusions. "We've heard some news accounts that the shooter spent time playing violent video games but it is simply too early to know whether this motivated yesterday's senseless act of violence," he said.
A spokesperson for the Entertainment Software Association, which represents video game and computer game companies, said there's no medical or scientific research showing that video games cause people to be violent in real life. The ESA declined to comment on Alexis.
A report released by the Media Violence Commission, a branch of the International Society for Research on Aggression, looked at what more than 800 independent studies had to say about the link between violent media and aggressive behavior.
"Some commentators have argued that violent media, especially violent video games, are the primary cause of school shootings," the report said in its concluding comments. "Other commentators have argued there is no good evidence of any harmful effects of violent media, usually based on the results of one or two studies. Neither extreme is supported by the vast body of research in this domain."
Newman has a similar stance on how violent media and violent video games affect both teenagers and adults. "I'm sure that they are relevant, but I wouldn't rest my case there," she said. "Overemphasizing this connection is problematic, but it's neither irrelevant nor dispositive."


End-Time Prophecy Watch Commentary
Best Way for Demon Possession and Role Playing Video Games



Reading about how violent video games may have indeed influence Aaron Alexis in the Navy Yard shooting rampage in Washington D.C.. It has been reported that Alexis heard voices in his head, after playing 18 hours per day violent video games(source). Friends state that Alexis spent a large amount of time playing violent video games, as if he was glued to his computers playing "shoot em up" games." Seems as if Aaron Alexis begin to live out the characters in virtual reality world on his video games, and it eventually caused him to go out commit heinous act of mass murder shooting.

I find it very interesting the connection with Aaron Alexis violent actions, and violent video games in regards to what famous occultist Aleister Crowley had wrote many years ago. Crowley stated the following:

"There are three main methods for invoking any deity. The Third Method is the dramatic, which leads to possession. In the third method, identity is attained by sympathy. It is very difficult for ordinary man to lose himself completely in the subject of a play... but for those who can do so this method is unquestionably the best."
Magick in Theory and Practice. P.147 Aleister Crowley   

What Crowley was writing about, that a actor or actress could directly or indirectly become possessed, by letting themselves be inhabited by the characters they were portraying in a play(while acting). This can also be seen as spirit channeling. Are we now seeing this practice invade video games and role playing games? We at End-Time Prophecy Watch Blog will exam this issue in a later article more in-depth.

Israel Moves Towards Cashless Society

Article Source taxationinfonews.com




JERUSALEM – Reducing the use of cash for everyday transactions will directly help Israel to fight tax evasion, and to eliminate money laundering.
On September 17th the Cabinet of Israel launched a new committee charged with the task of finding new means and measures of encouraging taxpayers to use of electronic payment methods instead of cash, as, it is believed, that the shift will help reduce the occurrence of tax evasion and unreported incomes.
Explaining the benefit of a “cashless” society, the appointed head of the committee Harel Locker said that a significant number of everyday transactions currently remain unreported and untaxed, however, expanding the uptake of electronic payment methods will increase tax authorities’ abilities to investigate tax evasion and to uncover activity on the underground economy.
The committee will initially look into the feasibility of introducing “fee-less electronic charge cards” to be used for everyday purchases and transactions, to be provided freely to anyone who currently receives welfare or to anyone who does not have a bank account.
Research will also be conducted into methods to restrict the use of checks, and to limit high-value cash transactions, while establishing new protocols for the sharing of information between the Tax Authority and the Authority for the Prohibition of Money Laundering.
The committee is scheduled to issue its first report to the prime Minister within 90 days.

No Rest for the Wicked(Tragic Stories of Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson)


The Bible speaks about “no rest for the wicked.” Isaiah48:22 says, “There is no peace saith the Lord, unto the wicked.” Isaiah 57:20-21 says, “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. King Saul is a good biblical example of this when he rebelled against The Word of God (1 Samuel 15), the spirit of the Lord departed from him and an evil spirit troubled or disturbed him (1 Samuel 16:14-15). Saul was a restless man for the rest of his life because God Spirit had departed from him, unable to hear from God, he turned to the occult when went to the witch at Endor to seek guidance before going to battle against the Philistines(1 Samuel 28). He was eventually killed in battle by the Philistines which was the judgment of the Lord for not keeping the word of the Lord, and inquiring of occulted spirit (1 Chronicles 10:13-14).



Sleepless Nights for Heath Ledger

2008 Academy Award Winner for Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight(Batman)

We often look at the rich and famous, we think they have everything that the world has to offer, but the majority of them have no peace, because those don’t have Jesus the Messiah in their life. Look at the actor Heath Ledger, had fame, money, and beautiful women at beckoning call. Ledger had become homosexual and lesbian community icon, with his portrayal as gay cowboy having a love affair with another man on Brokeback Mountain in 2005 which he was nominated for Academy Award for  Best Actor. But he had no peace or rest; he would go on to take on the part as the Joker in The Dark Knight (Batman), Ledger wanted the Joker to be much darker and sinister than Jack Nicholson role as the Joker. Ledger told the New York Times he had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker and afterward. A good actors or actresses sometimes assume the character their playing for months to make the character more real. Quite as it is kept, the best actors in ancient Greek theater were believed to be literally possessed by the entity they portrayed on stage, and in occult practices it is believed by assuming a role of a particular demon was the quickest way to come into contact with a demonic spirit. Unable to find rest and tormented, Ledger died of a drug overdose at the age 28 on January 22, 2008. The autopsy and toxicological exam found that Heath Ledger was on medication for depression, anxiety, insomnia, pain, and cold medication, cause of death was determined as acute intoxication.



King Pop Just Couldn't Find Rest!



Another recent example of no rest for the wicked is the death of Pop Music Icon Michael Jackson. Jackson used prescription drugs heavily, he was on several medications for severe case of insomnia before his death, and the deadly dose of Propofol that was giving Jackson by Dr. Conrad Murray was to help Jackson sleep. However, Jackson untimely death, and his inability to rest might have been due to his occult practices. Jackson was a longtime friend of psychic Uri Geller. He  also at onetime had private room with moving walls and mirrors, where he communicated with the spirit of Liberace, and said Liberace was his guardian angel (source/source), this is called necromancy which means communication with the dead to gain knowledge found in Deuteronomy 18:11. The pop star was reported three weeks before his death that gospel music artist Andre and Sandra Crouch led him to Christ, that claim was false and confirmed by the Crouches (source). They talked to him about the anointing and Jesus, and prayed for Jackson, but remained unclear that he received Christ.


What did it profit Heath Ledger to win an Academy Award and lose his soul?
What did it profit Michael Jackson to win 13 Grammy Awards and lose his soul?



Unfortunately for Heath Ledger dead at age 28 and Michael Jackson dead at age 50 failing to obey The Word of God like Saul caused them dearly, they believe the lies of Satan believing fame and fortune would bring them happiness in this life, they received both from the god of this world (2Corinthians 4:4; Luke 4: 6-7), but Satan doesn't offer his kids peace and rest, he gives them torment, unrest, and finally destruction.


Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-29, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” G-d t resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (James4:6). Once individual receives salvation, and begins to bear the fruit of the Spirit peace (Galatians 5:22-23), Jesus gives peace and rest despite the storms/stress of life because the Holy Spirit is Comforter. Paul says it best in Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
