Peace Beyond Understanding: Here’s How to Find It

 GOD STILL SPEAKS

Pastor Joshua Giles firmly believes that God continues to speak today.  “When you are in true relationship with someone, there is conversation.  Communication is not a one-sided experience.  Communication is not only speaking, but also hearing as you are being spoken to,” he says.  “I am totally convinced that God still speaks today – through the sacred Scriptures of the Bible.”  He also believes that there are a number of other modes through which God speaks, namely, through an audible voice, an impression on the heart, other people, and with signs, visions, and various types of dreams.  Joshua offers a number of steps to sharpen our ability to hear from God, such as:

·       Pray and ask the Lord what’s on His heart for you. 
·       Praise and worship Him.
·       Read a Scripture from the Bible that speaks to your spirit.
·       After those steps, stop and listen quietly in His presence.
·       Write down what you hear Him saying to you. 
·       Ask yourself, “Does what I heard agree with the Bible?”  God will never speak contrary to His written Word.

A CRACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE  

Some years ago, Joshua was in Washington, DC for an opportunity to share God’s Word, and had also been invited to the White House.  It was Christmastime, so the White House was decorated magnificently and Joshua felt very honored to be there with the other guests.  After the meeting, there was a festive party with people from many walks of life, all laughing and enjoying themselves.  “But in the midst of the evening’s celebration,” he says, “’I felt sorrow, as if my spirit was weeping.”  Then Joshua describes a vision in which the walls of the White House stood out.  “I could see the most striking meandering fracture spreading in the wall going all the way down to the floor.  I heard the words, ‘a crack in the wall of the White House.’”  He was confused by this image at first until he thought about it more.  “This crack in the White House wall was symbolic of a fracture in the foundation of the nation.  I saw it spreading, and I perceived that the crack is due to the moral decay, corruption, wickedness, and idolatry.  People have turned away from serving God.  Many leaders within government, and some leaders within the church have turned against the ways and principles of the Most High God.” 

Over the next several years, Joshua sensed that a number of shifts will take place in government in the years ahead.  Two of those are:

·       “A shift is coming to political and government leaders.  God will begin to judge those who have corrupt hearts.  Those who operate as Saul did will become weaker in their influence and reach.  Those who operate like David did will rise and come into prominence.”

·       “A shift is coming politically with young people.  There will be a clashing of ideologies and values.  Out of the clashing, a remnant of young adults, teenagers, and children will rise with a voice like a trumpet.  That remnant will stand for biblical values.  They will be the voice of the future,” he believes. 

WEATHER WATCH

“I have always been fascinated with weather,” Joshua admits.  “Weather is going to become more and more destructive in our world.  It will become more noticeable as massive superstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, monsoons, and the like sweep through the earth,” he says.  One of those ways, Joshua says, is through artificial weather systems.  “The Lord showed me that artificial weather systems are being created and used by governments and nations around world.  In the realm of the spirit, I could see these manmade machines.  Some were sitting out in and even under the ocean, far away from people.  These technologically advanced systems have the ability to produce hurricanes and powerful storms that could spawn tornadoes, monsoons, and the like.” 

Another danger to watch, Joshua says, is experimentation with the sun by those with ill motives.  “They are studying it so closely already to see if they can duplicate its effects and even block out the components of it that they don’t want.  This will prove disastrous.  They cannot play as though they are God.  There is only one God, and His creation and ability to govern our world cannot be mimicked, mocked, or duplicated.”     

AI AND THE BEAST

Artificial intelligence, or AI, can be used for much good, but is also a tool that Joshua believes can be quite dangerous.  “AI is technology that enables computers, software, digital programs, and machines to simulate human functions or intelligence by carrying out human tasks and problem solving, often at a rate much faster and more efficient than humans,” he says.  “AI will also be used by the world, however, to advance a satanic agenda.  Wicked leaders have already wielded it to control, restrict, and direct the population.  Soon AI will become unmanageable and unruly, and will be the driving force of the beast system,” he says, referring to the demonic creature presented in the book of Revelation.  One way Joshua sees this danger coming to pass is in how we pay for things.  “In the coming months and years, you will see AI dominate how we buy and sell.  The Lord showed me that we won’t need credit cards, debit cards, or paper money in the future.  Stores will have such sophisticated recognition technology that they will be able to scan the palm of your hand or your eyes.  Digital money will then be deducted from your online account.  And if people present themselves as oppositional to society, their buying and selling ability will be shut down,” he warns. 

THE NEXT GENERATION

Joshua has great hope for the younger generation.  “I believe that the Body of Christ is entering the day of the next generation.  This is a time where the up-and-coming generation of the world will begin to emerge with a passion and a zeal for the things of God,” he says.  “Take a more in-depth look at how God wants to use young people powerfully today: ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.’ (Acts 2:17) This demonstration of God’s power will be poured upon all,” Joshua points out.  “Teenagers, young adults, and people of all ages can take part in what God is going to do.  There will be a demonstration of God’s power in this last-day move like we have never seen before.  This unprecedented manifestation will come through His sons and daughters.  The true end-time sons and daughters of God will arise with boldness out of obscurity and show forth the matchless power of God!”

No More Guilt from the Birth of Her Daughter

When 22-year-old Weriani (Wearyi-ahni) gave birth to her daughter at home, she wasn’t prepared for what she saw: Her baby had been born with a cleft lip.  

“I blamed myself for what happened to my daughter.” Weriani states. 

“During pregnancy, I continued doing heavy work. If I hadn’t done that, maybe she wouldn’t have been born with a cleft lip.”

Weriani said she worried every day about what her daughter’s life would be like as she grew up. 

“I knew she would be bullied at school because her lip looks different. As a mom, I wondered how could I get surgery for her.” She continues tearfully. 

Their neighbor’s comments in Indonesia where they live didn’t help her anxiety.  

“Sometimes, people would ask why our child was like that. I did not have any answers.  So I blamed myself.” 

Weriani’s husband Destaman (Des-ta-man) said his small income from collecting rubber would never be enough to pay for his daughter’s surgery.  

“I collect rubber from trees every day but only earn about 15 dollars a month.” Destaman admits. 

Then a relative told them about Operation Blessing.  Thanks to YOU we provided for Aswin to receive free surgery to repair her cleft lip.  That surgery was successful. 

“I am so delighted by how my daughter is doing now! She always has a sweet smile. I feel very happy with her condition now. “ Weriani says with a smile. 

“I no longer worry about my child being bullied now “ Destaman adds on. 
Weriani and Destaman said for the first time they have hope for their daughter’s future. 

“Thank you to the people who support Operation Blessing! You gave us something we could never give to our daughter! May the Lord Jesus bless you for your kindness.” He concludes.

Bringing Martin Luther King’s Vision to Life

My name is Phoebe Kilby, and I am white. Martin Luther King had a dream that the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood…

The email had come out of nowhere. A letter from a complete stranger, addressed to 61-year-old grandmother, Betty Kilby.

"My first impression when I read that was, ‘Oh no, listen to this white girl telling me about Dr. Martin Luther King's dream. I've been living Dr. Martin Luther King's dream all my life.’”

For Betty, living that dream of equality started in 1958. She was thirteen when she and twenty-one other African-American teenagers were granted entry into an all-white high school in Front Royal, Virginia. Greeted with insults, racial slurs and threats, they pressed on, refusing to give in to hatred, fighting for their rights.  

“When you go through that evil day after day and year after year, people calling you names, it becomes so difficult to be able to keep moving forward, to keep your faith.”
One part of Dr. King’s message proved harder for Betty– to love and pray for your enemies. Something her father, James Wilson Kilby, a Christian, tried to impress on his hurting, angry daughter.

“I didn't have forgiveness in my heart at that point in time. I had pictures in my head of holding them by the neck and just holding them until their feet would just be dangling.” Then, in 1963, Betty’s senior year, she was raped by a group of white male students. Terrified of what it would do to her family, Betty only went to God with her pain.

“I wanted to know where God was. Was he there? Did he see what was happening to me? I was crying my heart out and I was calling on God. He appeared to me in the closet. He asked me where I was when He set the moon and the stars. And then when I realized His journey and how people beat Him, at that point I was empowered. Because I knew that all I had to do was call on Him.”

Betty went on to graduate, finish college, start a family and work her way up to an executive position at American Airlines. Betty says it wasn’t until she had children that she began to understand Dr. King’s–and the Bible’s--message of love and forgiveness. “When I had my children, that was a turning point for me. They cleansed my heart. They took out the hate and just had it filled with love. Love and hate can't reside in the same heart. It was the word of God that kept me from hating people.”

Betty went on to achieve more success, including a Master’s degree and an honorary doctorate. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, Maryland, Phoebe Kilby was busy researching her own family tree, inspired by a group called, “Coming to the Table.”

“This gathering of people brought together descendants of enslavers and descendants of persons enslaved, to talk about racial reconciliation,” Phoebe explains. “And this fascinated me. It made me think, ‘Had my family enslaved people?’”

It turned out her ancestors were, in fact, slave owners. Phoebe also found a link to a woman with the same last name, Betty Kilby. So, on January 15, 2007, Martin Luther King day, she reached out, hoping for a connection.

“My name is Phoebe Kilby, and I am white. I suspect that our families had some kind of relationship in the past. Martin Luther King had a dream that the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. Perhaps, we as daughters can contribute to fulfilling that dream.” Betty responded...

"Hello cousin, we are the key to healing. We can not only contribute to Dr. King’s dream; we can bring about racial reconciliation and healing to a nation of hurting people. I thank God for bringing you into my life."

Betty invited Phoebe to the premiere of her documentary Wit, Will & Walls, based on the book she wrote in 2002. There, the two met, along with Betty’s children. They felt an instant bond.

“Betty was immediately so welcoming, you know, coming over and hugging me,” says Phoebe. Excited about their new friendship, Phoebe continued her research. She found an 1836 will that connected the two through Simon Kilby, the son of a slave owned by Phoebe’s family--a sobering moment for Phoebe.

“You could see right there in the records that these were people who were treated like property, the same as a cow or a pig. And that is hard to read. It hurts to read that, and it hurts to know that your family did enslave people.” As their friendship continued to grow, they attended “Coming to the Table" workshops and lectures, facing the harsh reality of their shared history together.  

“Sometimes she would just break down and cry,” Phoebe recalls. “We don't know sometimes the intense feelings of grief over seeing your family controlled. Betty has opened my mind and my heart to be able to understand how this could be such a hurtful and upsetting history to have to face.”

Then in 2021, they co-authored a book they called, Cousins: Connected through Slavery. All proceeds from the book go to a college scholarship fund that Phoebe set up for descendants her family enslaved, including Betty's grandchildren.

“We love each other and care for each other but addressed the significant injustices that have happened,” Phoebe explains. “She talks a lot about Dr. King and his deep faith and his goal for our society that we can create together the beloved community. A community where we treat each other equally.”

To accomplish that, they both believe it will take the ideas found in – through truth, mercy and justice will come peace.  “If you want to bring together people who have been divided, somebody has to tell the truth about the harms that have been done. But to move forward, the person who has been harmed has to show some mercy, some level of forgiveness before you can get to that point of creating peace between divided people,” says Phoebe. “You can't have peace without addressing justice as well.”

“We want to study our past and we want to know about our past,” Betty adds. “But don't try to judge the past. We weren't there when our ancestors were slaves. We can't judge a race of people based on that. So, let's move forward. There is so much work to do in the present. We need to stop fighting one another. We're all on the same team.”

From Skeptic to Believer: Social Media Star Trisha Fenimore’s Unbelievable Transformation

“Once you drink that first one, it takes you on a ride you never agreed to go on. Every day in every way I swore, I vowed, you know, I'm never gonna do it again. I'd pour it down the drain only to be going out at 4:00 PM later that day to get more.” At 22, Trisha Fenimore realized alcohol was destroying her life. What started as an elixir to build confidence and self-esteem, was now in control and exposing the hate she had for others. She says, “It lowered my inhibition so that I was willing to vocalize that hate and to act out that hate.” Hatred Trisha says started when she rejected God as young girl. She had always shown a lot of potential and was placed in her school’s accelerated programs. For her, being smart equated to being a good person, so she decided in fifth grade she had no need for God. She recalls, “Everyone tells me I am smart, you know, so I could probably do this life thing on my own. I could maintain a good enough heart on my own. We'd say the Pledge of Allegiance. And from then on, I just stopped saying the words ‘under God’, and that was the expression of my atheism. Until I went to college and was able to really dive in the deep end of that angry, militant, atheism, argumentative spirit.”

It was in college she discovered alcohol gave her the confidence to voice her anger and hatred towards anyone who disagreed with her, especially Christians. She recalls, “I became very combative, highly aggressive and hostile to anyone who even dared mention, God, if I saw a cross necklace on somebody, I was just filled with rage about it. It really grew very quickly in my life, and I was, I was filled with such hate toward people of faith, but all people.”

Trisha dropped out of college after three years and took a minimum wage job. Feeling the guilt of wasted potential only deepened her need for alcohol. She says, “I wanted somebody to blame, I wanted a scapegoat, and I sure didn't want it to be me. I began to look at other people like they were at fault. And I hated and envy them for being able to navigate life without, you know, what I was going through.” At 22, she realized she had to stop drinking, but over the next year, every attempt brought another failure. Then, one morning just before her 24th birthday, after another night of black-out drinking, Trisha finally took an honest look her life. She says, “I thought about the trajectory of things. I thought about alcohol's role in it all. I thought about my decision way back when to eliminate God from my life. And I just said, ‘God, I don't know what you are. And I don't know if you are, but if you are, I am willing to have been wrong about you my entire life. If you please help me’.”

Trisha didn’t drink that day… or the next. In fact, for the next two weeks, every time she felt tempted, she asked God for help, and she was able to resist. After two weeks, she got a better job as a restaurant hostess. One night while filling in behind the bar for the bartender, Trisha spilled vodka all over herself. The smell of alcohol brought back a familiar urge. She recalls, “I just thought in my inner most being, ‘I cannot do this. I cannot stay sober’. I felt a voice like it almost like vibrated within every cell of my body. And I just felt the words, ‘even when evil surrounds you, I am with you’. I was literally surrounded by alcohol. And in that moment, it was like God saying, ‘you are surrounded by the very thing that has harmed you the most, that you are defenseless against. And I am with you and you're gonna be okay. I will get you through this’. When I felt those words and felt it in my being, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that there was a God. And that was the day that my atheism died.”

Although Trisha conquering her drinking, she was still captive to the anger and hatred she felt towards others, and herself. For two years she searched through the Bible and other religious texts looking for guidance but found none. Then one night, after a devastating breakup with her boyfriend, Trisha went for a walk. She recalls, “And I said, ‘God, I thought this guy was your plan for me.  I'm out of ideas. Show me what you want for me’. And then I sat there, and I looked at the sky and I got increasingly angry because I felt entitled to a response from God in the way that I expected it.” It was then Trisha passed a church where some people were coming out and she felt drawn to go talk with them.  “And I said, my name's Tricia. I'm a recovering alcoholic and I'm either gonna drink or kill myself. They showed kindness and love to me. They never forced it, but they just showed the love of Jesus.” It turned out to be a Bible study group and they invited Trisha to join them. Over the next few months, they continued showing her the love of Jesus as they helped her learn to trust God. It was in that bible study that Trisha fully surrendered her life to Jesus. She says, “I felt a hope that I had been created with purpose, on purpose. I learned that I was born in the image of God and that I have profound value, irreplaceable value and purpose in that.”

Still, one stronghold remained in Trisha’s heart – racism. A year after giving her life to Christ, Trisha felt God wanted her to take a class in a predominately black seminary in Harlem. She recalls, “It was very uncomfortable, but it was also one of the most transformative and beautiful experiences of my life.” In that class, Trisha finally learned to see everyone as made in God’s image with a purpose and value. Again, she felt God’s prompting to humbly ask others for forgiveness. She says,  “He did convict me to reach out to several people in my past. And I did write them letters. I did call, and I did repent directly to my black brothers and sisters who I had harmed in the past.” Trisha has stayed sober since she first cried out to God in 2011. She is married with two small boys and has a large online presence where she shares God’s love and the power of forgiveness. She believes, “Whatever struggle you have, whether it's racism, whether it's addiction, whether it's jealousy, whether it's envy, lust, whatever on the run, the gamut. If we seek God daily and in every hard moment, He will deliver us from that; we need to continually seek Him. And that for me has been the only way out from literally the gates of Hell.”
