And Jesus said unto them,
Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you,
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall
say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible
unto you. —Matthew 17:20
Too many of us doubt ourselves,
yet we applaud and celebrate others and their accomplishments,
keeping things hidden deep down inside of us, believing
no one wants to hear them. Have you ever stopped to
think just how crazy it sounds for three or four everyday
people to step in a rocket, blast into space, unbuckle,
do a controlled weightless spacewalk, maneuver, buckle
up, descend back down to Earth, and land exactly where
they took off? Neither did I, but it happened. Someone
thought it, believed it, went to work on it –
and it happened.
More than once in Scripture,
God sends us a message to believe first in Him and trust
what He put in you. In Genesis 11, humanity decided
to build a tower (which we focus on). God said because
the people are one, and they have one language, nothing
will be restrained from them which they have imagined
they might do.
The
tower wasn’t the problem. The problem was they
said, “and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole earth” (Genesis
11:4). Colossians 3:17 declares, “And whatsoever
ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
CEO, do you want your
company to become innovative and successful? Pastor,
do you want to reach the lost and see your church grow?
Laborer, do you want that promotion? Salesman, do you
really want the sale? Quit doubting what God put in
you. He put it there because He believes you are capable
of completing the task.
Our prayer for you this
week: May you come to believe and trust what God put
in you. Pursue it in the name of Jesus!

11 Random Facts That Show That America Is Rotting And
Decaying Right In Front Of Our Eyes
January 28, 2025 by Michael Snyder
We
are in far more trouble than most people realize. Fentanyl
and other drugs are ravaging our cities, and homelessness,
poverty and hunger are rapidly growing all around us.
Meanwhile, our federal government, our state governments,
and our local governments are drowning in debt, and
economic conditions are steadily deteriorating. Corruption
is rampant, incompetence is seemingly everywhere, and
the moral decay of our society is accelerating. Unfortunately,
much of the population is completely oblivious to what
is going on because they are deeply addicted to the
electronic gadgets that they are constantly staring
at. The following are 11 random facts that show that
America is rotting right in front of our eyes…
#1 A new study has discovered
that smartphones “are making teenagers more aggressive”
and are causing them to “hallucinate”…
Smartphones are making
teenagers more aggressive, detached from reality and
causing them to hallucinate, according to new research.
Scientists concluded the
younger a person starts using a phone, the more likely
they would be crippled by a whole host of psychological
ills after surveying 10,500 teens between 13 and 17
from both the US and India for the study, by Sapien
Labs.
“People don’t
fully appreciate that hyper-real and hyper-immersive
screen experiences can blur reality at key stages of
development,” addiction psychologist Dr. Nicholas
Kardaras, who was not part of the team who did the study,
told The Post.
#2 According to Bloomberg,
our cost of living crisis is driving more working Americans
than ever to seek assistance from food banks…
Once a month, Kersstin
Eshak visits a food pantry in Loudoun County, Virginia
to stretch her family’s budget.
Eshak’s husband
works at a big box retailer. She works as a substitute
teacher. They have income, but with prices up nearly
23% over the past five years — and still rising
— their earnings just don’t stretch quite
far enough some months.
Food banks across the
nation are seeing a similar story: A post-pandemic wave
of demand for food driven by working people caught in
America’s cost-of-living crunch.
#3 The U.S. national debt
was sitting at about 10 trillion dollars when Barack
Obama first entered the White House. Today, it is sitting
at 36.2 trillion dollars.
#4 Criminals freely roam
the streets, but a pastor in Ohio could face jail time
for using his church to house the homeless…
The only problem is that
while opening up his church — Dad’s Place
in Bryan, Ohio — to the homeless, he’s also
opened himself up to the reality of city code.
“Pastor Avell has
known that this was not permitted use and that he does
not have firewalls, he does not have sprinkler systems,”
said Bryan Mayor Carrie Schlade. “The kind of
things you need in a residential facility. “
#5 A cryptocurrency called
“Fartcoin” that was created as a joke currently
has a market capitalization of 847 million dollars.
#6 Fentanyl is absolutely
destroying communities all over America. For example,
check out what has been happing in Las Cruces, New Mexico…
Las Cruces authorities
say they first encountered fentanyl in 2018. In 2020,
they confiscated a total of 461 pills.
In 2021, the first year
of the Biden administration, fentanyl seizures exploded
to more than 22,600 – and continued rising: roughly
70,000 pills were seized in 2022 and nearly 86,000 in
2023.
“It wasn’t
in Las Cruces, and then it was, and then it was everywhere.
In 2021, it really intensified and we’ve seen
that the past few years. During that same period from
2018 to 2021, we saw a huge increase in crime: an 85%
increase in violent crime and a 71% increase in property
crime,” Las Cruces Chief of Police Jeremy Story
stated last year during a virtual press conference on
New Mexico’s fentanyl epidemic.
#7 In 2024, corporate
bankruptcies in the United States reached the highest
level “since the 2008 financial crisis”.
#8 We don’t hear
much about cargo theft, but it reached a staggering
454 million dollars in 2024. That was a brand new all-time
record high…
Cargo theft hit a record
high in the U.S. and Canada for the second consecutive
year, and the trend is expected to continue as criminal
enterprises have become more sophisticated in their
methods.
Verisk CargoNet’s
annual analysis released this week found that cargo
theft surged 27% from 2023 to 2024, hitting a record
3,625 reported incidents last year with an average value
of $202,364 per theft. All told, the losses are estimated
at more than $454 million.
#9 According to the New
York Times, 15 percent of the “women” in
our federal prisons are transgender.
#10 Most of the foods
on our grocery store shelves are “highly processed”,
and since “highly processed foods” are less
expensive many U.S. consumers tend to gravitate to them…
Next time you walk down
the aisles of your local grocery store, take a closer
look at what’s actually available on those shelves.
A stunning report reveals the majority of food products
sold at major U.S. grocery chains are highly processed,
with most of them priced significantly cheaper than
less processed alternatives.
In what may be the most
comprehensive analysis of food processing in American
grocery stores to date, researchers examined over 50,000
food items sold at Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods
to understand just how processed our food supply really
is. Using sophisticated machine learning techniques,
they developed a database called GroceryDB that scores
foods based on their degree of processing.
#11 Homelessness in the
U.S. is at the highest level ever recorded, and it is
increasing at the fastest pace ever recorded.
We desperately need change
in this country.
And you are never too
young to be part of that change. Just check out how
old some of our founding fathers were in 1776…
James Monroe was 18 years
old.
Aaron Burr was 20 years
old.
John Marshall was 20 years
old.
Alexander Hamilton was
21 years old.
James Madison was 25 years
old
John Jay was 30 years
old.
Thomas Jefferson was 33
years old.
If we truly want to make
this country great again, we need to rediscover the
values and principles that once made this country so
great.
Our nation is in the condition
that it is today because of the choices that we have
made.
If we want to turn things
around, we must start making better choices. Anyone
that does not understand this is just being delusional.

Cutting Edge’s “Amen”:
Praise the Lord for Christians like Michael Snyder who
have the courage to “speak truth to power!”
The new Presidential administration of Donald Trump
has hit the ground running and, true to form, sparks
are flying thick and fast. School teachers are threatening
to “block” ICE enforcement agents from rounding
up the children of illegal aliens in order to deport
them as families. Some churches are intentionally breaking
the law of the land by harboring such people and the
list of “crazies” goes on and on. My friends,
there is a big difference between being softhearted
and softheaded. Our hearts go out to all those who are
trying to escape lives of poverty and deprivation by
illegally entering the US, but over the years millions
of others have patiently waited to become naturalized
citizens—doing it the “right” and
legal way.
Mass psychosis is nothing
new, but what we are experiencing at this time in history
goes far beyond that “blanket” diagnosis.
Demonic oppression is the only term that can explain
what is gripping our nation in particular and the rest
of the world in general. Common sense should indicate
that sane and sensible people normally do not misbehave
in the numbers we see taking place today. The phenomena
of “Hellywood” stars shedding tears and
threatening to leave the country because Trump won the
Presidential election is clearly not normal! But if
they would collectively take their licentious life-styles
with them, I think “Go Fund Me” accounts
could probably be arranged as an incentive!
