1 When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. This is where we are now, we are seeing government officials step forward in faith. Our election system is sick. Some think this problem is insurmountable, you have to go through millions of ballots, match signatures but you can’t because they have already thrown out the envelopes. Match the names but that is also next to impossible because they don’t have paper copies. But it isn’t that hard to heal this. If the Lord speaks the word to Go, there are many who will go. If the Lord will say to come, many will come. Speak the word to do this and they will do it. Jesus is Lord, He is omniscient, He is omnipotent. Have faith in Him.

9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.

OK, well let’s pray that the Lord finds this faith in the US.

11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.” 14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

The media is claiming that it is a done deal, that Biden is the “President elect” and that all those people at these rallies are simply whiny sore losers. Again, I believe in the Lord of life who raises the dead. If we can have dead people coming out by the tens of thousands to vote for Joe Biden I see no reason why the Lord can’t step in to raise one person from the dead. Fair is fair.

16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

Wouldn’t that be a great way to herald in the Lord Jesus at the end of the age “God has come to help his people”.

18 John’s disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 1 9 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”

People are very funny. There are those who every time they find some new verse that points to the end of the age and the Lord’s coming they are updating their “rapture watch”. They are on edge, is this the antichrist or is that? Is this the false prophet or is that? Look at this new patent, is that the mark of the beast? Stay focused on Jesus, walk with Him, obey Him, and everything else will simply be window dressing. Those other things are like holiday ornaments for the day of the Lord.

20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’” 21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[ a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

So let’s report what we have seen this last year. We were told about how terrible the orange man was, but our eyes have been opened. We see that the NY Times lied to us with their “high ranking administration official and his anonymous reports”. We have seen that google has algorithms to manipulate people's perception towards Trump in a negative way. We have seen Facebook and Twitter actively censoring and suppressing speech they don’t like. We have seen that the FBI had exculpatory evidence for Trump during the impeachment yet sat on it. We have seen illegal FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. We have seen that Biden and Harris are tied to the CCP. Finally, we have seen fraud in our election. Our eyes have been opened. We were lame, but now are standing up on our own two feet in front of everyone. We are standing for righteousness and truth. We were rebellious, ignoring the Lord’s commands,
but now we can hear His word and are responding. We are going to see that this election where Trump has already been declared “dead” will be raised. Finally, in a year where the poor are getting totally hammered with pandemic shutdowns we will have good news proclaimed to them.

24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written: “‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’[ b] 28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

There are a lot of people who think that December 14th is a deadline for this investigation. On December 14th the electoral college votes and that will decide who is elected president. Here is why that is not the deadline. Sydney Powell is not part of the President’s team. She can continue her investigation past Dec 14, past Jan 20, as long as it takes. If she shows up February 15th in court with the evidence that Dominion voting systems stole the election for Trump and for many senators and congressmen, that this system was closely connected to Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi. This system was designed to steal elections and Biden did nothing, Obama did nothing and a number of States certified their elections knowing this to be the case, then who cares if Biden has been president for 2 weeks. It will be the shortest presidency in US history, even less than William Henry Harrison. Right now there are 73 million people who voted for Trump and probably a good 30 million who don’t want Trump but care more about an honest election than about who won. If 100 million know that Biden stole the election with the “deep state” then you are looking at social upheaval on the same scale as the civil war. The truth is going to come out, therefore those who are innocent of this fraud need to get as far away from Biden as they can. Those who are responsible to certify elections need to make sure they are not complicit with the fraud and go to prison with the rest of them.
