Two days later, the highschoolers made history again when they contested the victory in an extraordinary act of sportsmanship. "I needed to know in my heart, for certain, that we were the champions so that I could sleep that night," said Brendan King, head coach of the Lady Griffins. After celebrating with the players, King went home and reviewed the game footage. He tallied the score twice. Both times his team came up short, losing by one point to the opposing team, Apache High School. A scoreboard error during the game had given the Griffins a one-point advantage – and the district championship trophy. For King, that discovery was heartbreaking. So was the reality of his next move: breaking the news to his players. The following day he asked the captain to send a text to the team's group chat. They planned to meet at the school before the end of the weekend. "The girls' ears immediately perked up, like, 'We don't meet on a Sunday?'" King told CBN News. "They said, 'Something has to be going on." "I thought somebody died," recalled senior Ellie Cheng, prompting laughter from her teammates as she described her initial reaction. Fellow senior Bindi Paradee had a similar response. "My first thought was like Ellie said, 'Who died?' Or somebody got hurt really bad or something," Paradee added. When King explained the scoring error and the reality of the loss, the team did not hesitate. The players unanimously agreed to challenge the outcome and return the trophy. "Of course, there's hesitation [and] there's grief," said senior Maya Beasley. "But we had played the game, and there's nothing that could take away that hard work and all of our teamwork." "But we never had won in the first place, if that makes sense? So, there was a coming to terms with, 'Oh, we didn't win,'" ... See Basketball - page 15 From politics to sports, popular culture promotes the idea of winning at all costs. Yet one high school girls' basketball team in Oklahoma City is single-handedly changing people's views on winning and losing. A POWERFUL DISCOVERY Archaeologists excavating Mount Ebal in northern Israel uncovered one of the most powerful confirmations of Scripture ever found—the altar Joshua built after Israel entered the Promised Land. After the death of Moses and the fall of Jericho and Ai, the Bible records that Joshua led Israel to Mount Ebal to build an altar to the Lord—marking the moment the wandering tribes became a covenant people (Deuteronomy 27; Joshua . In 1982, Israeli archaeologist Adam Zertal discovered a massive ancient structure on Mount Ebal that matches the biblical description with stunning precision. The Bible says the altar must be: • Built of unhewn stones, untouched by iron • Accessed by a ramp, not stairs • Used for burnt and peace offerings • A public covenant site declaring Israel as God’s people. That is exactly what archaeologists found. Excavators discovered: • A large altar complex ... See Discovery- Page 16
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on the eternal life to which you were summoned and (for which) you confessed (openly declared) the good confession (of faith) before many witnesses.(I Timothy 6:12) In I Timothy 6:12 Paul encourages us to fight the good fight of faith. If there is a fight, then there are “enemies” to faith. Enemies (hindrances) that try to put doubt in our minds, about all kinds of things concerning the Lord, His Word, and our relationship with Him. It is the very first thing Satan tempted Eve with in the garden, back in the book of Genesis. And, he is still doing it today. He goes after the mind. If he can get you to doubt, if he can confuse you, if he can get you to change your mind, then he can hinder you in the things of God; your faith will be hindered from working in your life effectively. You see, Satan does not care about you at all. He only cares about keeping the Word of God (The Seed of God) from taking root in your heart and growing. He knows that if you find out who you are in Christ Jesus and begin to get rooted and grounded in God’s Word, then God’s seed will be harder to uproot. How does faith come? Romans 10:17 says “so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” The more you hear the Word of God, the more you will begin to believe and trust in it; your faith will grow and mature until God’s Word becomes a part of you and your walk with Him in this life. One of the greatest hindrances of faith is a lack of knowledge or understanding of God’s Word. Understanding what we are hearing; If we receive knowledge, we will have faith; if we don’t have knowledge, then we will not have faith. Let’s look at some examples: (1) The New Birth God’s Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” When we repent of our sins and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, then we are born again. We are made new creatures in Christ Jesus. Our sins are blotted out (Is. 43:25). Some Christians stay under condemnation about their past. Our past is gone. God looks at us as though we had never done anything wrong. That old man is gone! “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.” You are born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever (I Pet 1:23). You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Satan will bring up pictures in our mind about our past. Cast them down! Cast down those imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ. See yourself as a brand new creature in Jesus; a brand new man; old things have passed away, all things are become new. (2) Our place in Him and His place in us. A lack of understanding in this area will often hinder our faith and cause unbelief. If you want to find out who you are in Christ and what you have, go to the Epistles. As you go through the epistles underline all the “in Him”, “in Christ”. and “in whom”, that tell you something you have or what you are. There are approximately 130 of them. Find them and meditate on them. Confess them with your mouth. This will build your faith and confidence in your relationship with Him and what you have in Him. 3) Our privilege and right to use the Name of Jesus. Jesus tells us in Mark 16:17-18 that there are signs that follow believers. He says that in His Name we shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; we shall take up serpents; and if we drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt us; we shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. And in John 14:12-14 Jesus tells us that if we believe on Him, the works that he does shall we do also and greater works than these shall we do because he goes to the Father. He says that whatsoever we ask In His Name, he will do it that the Father may be glorified in the Son. He said if we ask anything in His Name He will do it. (4) Righteousness This is very important. When Jesus shed his blood for us on the cross, He paid the price for us to be in right standing with God again. At that time He made us to be righteous. When we are born again we receive what He has done for us by faith and become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. I John 1:9 (5) Acting on the Word Faith is a verb, it demands action. The Bible tells us to be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves (James 1:22). The Amplified Bible in John 3:21 says “But he who practices truth (who does what is right) comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are, wrought with God (divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence upon Him).” Understanding that we are to be doers of God’s Word and putting action to our faith will bring to pass the thing we are believing for. (6) Holding fast to our confession of faith. Understanding that we hold onto God’s Word no matter what happens. We are not moved by what we see, feel, or hear. We do not deny the circumstances of life, but always back it up with the Word of God; we are only moved by the Word of God. We put the Word first place in our life. Making God’s Word the highest authority in our life. Holding fast to our confession: “The Lord is my Shepherd, I do not want”. - Ps. 23:1 “I do not have a care” - I Pet. 5:7 “Every sickness, disease, sorrow, and grief was laid on Jesus so ...

05/01/2025 Revelation Knowledge is a supernatural kind of information that comes from God and His Word. It is the most dangerous information in the world. The Apostle Paul had a messenger of Satan constantly harassing him because of the “abundance of revelations.” When you know what God has done in Christ and you preach the Gospel, you are a tremendous threat to the devil. It is the most valuable information on planet earth. It is the substance of our faith. If you have no knowledge of the blood of Jesus, you stand helpless in the face of sin and its effects. Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1 is for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead…. Ephesians 1:17-20 The prayer in Ephesians 1:17-23 is powerful and one we encourage you to read daily. This prayer for revelation knowledge affects the eyes of your heart. It changes the way you see everything because the Holy Spirit opens the door to understanding the Word of God and the realm of the Spirit. The very moment light or revelation knowledge comes, faith is present. Revelation knowledge will always capture your imagination. Some of the most prevalent crimes in today's society involve breaking into computer systems. This is known as "hacking." However, God's Kingdom system of revelation knowledge can never be hacked. Once you are born again, you are granted access into the Spirit realm where you can download divine secrets. Regarding Kingdom secrets Jesus said in Luke 10:21, "…Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes…." Man does not discover God. He reveals Himself. We know God through revelation knowledge. Paul was not at a disadvantage because he never personally met Jesus in His earthly ministry. However, he understood revelation knowledge and knew the thoughts of Jesus better than the disciples. In the same way, through revelation knowledge and the indwelling Holy Spirit, you can know Him better today than those who walked with Him on the earth. Revelation knowledge takes you past the historical, geographical, and theological information of the Bible and brings you into the inspirational. All scripture is Godbreathed and inspired by God. It is personal and will reveal your true identity and purpose. The Word of God was spoken before it was written and was written so it could be spoken. For example, when Jesus went to the temple, He found the place in Isaiah 61, where it was written about Him and said, "This is me! Today this scripture is talking about me." John the Baptist found himself in Isaiah 40 through revelation knowledge. When Jesus asked Peter who He was, Peter had a flash of revelation and said ...

4 GLAD TIDINGS FEBRUARY 2026 Dec 4, 2025 The Season of the New: God's Pruning Through Removals, Reversals, and Resets Intro: A powerful prophetic word was released by Pastor Hank Kunneman on November 2, 2025 concerning what the Spirit of the Lord has declared as the "season of the new"! This is a critical moment in time in the midst of God's divine reset, where He has stated that there are divine setups and divine traps that He has established to bring judgment against Hell's agenda, according to His righteousness and justice that have invaded the earth. The Lord of Hosts is dealing with the false worship, false rhetoric, and false politicians that have sought to assert themselves among the nations. And so there is a window of pruning through removals, resets, and reversals to cut off the "rot" so that the redemptive plan of the Lord may bloom and grow. Key signs of this divine pruning include the following: • Removals in the Supreme Court, • New York City appearing rotten to its core, but being in a season of pruning, • Reversals of terms in New York City, New Jersey, and New Hampshire as conservative values are restored, • A divine surprise springing forth into the midterms. The prophetic word of the Lord has said to not be in fear and has given warning to watch our words during this critical time. But if we will be led by the Spirit, the degree that we continue to fast, pray, and vote will be the degree that the consuming fire of the Lord will bring destruction to wipe out the plans of the enemy! Word of the Lord released by Pastor Hank Kunneman at Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, NE, on November 2, 2025: "I come at this time to reveal Myself to the earth—that I am the God who lives, the God who is alive, and who is not dead. I have come to reveal to the earth at this time that I am the one and true and only God! For there is much false; there is much that has been spoken about and worshiped in the earth that is false, yet I have come to reveal Myself at this time. "As I said in the days of Moses, when I delivered a nation, 'I will get My honor upon Pharaoh.' And I speak this once again in the deliverance not only of this nation, the United States, but of the nations of the earth. And, yes, I speak of Canada, Australia—the nations of the earth at this time. For I have spoken and I have declared in My Word that when My judgments are in the earth, men shall learn righteousness; and it is why men have looked to Me in the hour of My goodness that passes before the earth but also to reveal My judgments. "And I speak this at this time because you are not to fear what is about to take place, even in the coming days and weeks, and even through your new year. For it will look as though there are setbacks and trouble and trials. And you will say, 'Surely, I thought that we were going forth and we were winning.' Do you understand that the God who parted the Red Sea allowed certain things to look impossible? For the enemy in its pride and ignorance would walk right into My setups that were My traps. "I speak this so that you will understand what I have declared. And it is My pronouncement for this season. And as you enter into your new year, I have said to behold, I have said to look and to pay attention, and I have not changed My mind. For I have and I do, even at this time, remind you that I have said I am doing new things. This is a new season, and old things are and shall and will continue to pass away in the season of the new. "Therefore, do not be troubled over New York. For it shall be said and they will say, 'What has happened to New York City? The Apple, the Big Apple, has become rotten to its core.' Yet I say this is a setup— My setup—so that you may understand that I am dealing as I did in the days of Elijah. I am dealing with the false. (Photo via Pexels) "I am and will continue to deal with your false media, as I did with the false prophets of Baal. But now I shall deal with the false politicians of Baal, and I will allow them, for a season, to think that they have their term. But you will see something happen if you will continue to pray. A red line shall be drawn of justice that shall cause an assembling of a House, of a Senate, of a Branch—an Executive Branch—that shall have the power of My restraint, My reversals, My reset, that shall even cause the Judicial Branch to have judgment come to the judges that will cause a shaking and a removal of those who said, 'We cannot be removed from our bench, for we are supreme.' You have touched the supreme God. Therefore, watch the new. "Watch New York, as it shall be said, 'They have become rotten,' but yet I speak of the new. You are the branch of My pruning, New York. Therefore, you shall blossom, New York City, in the hour that shall come after My fire falls to judge those who shall rejoice over their term. I will prune, that the rotten apple shall fall to the ground in its season, and something new shall come out of New York, New York City, that shall be not only the branch of My pruning but shall look red for the apple—not in this season, but in a new season that will come of My shaking that will make the Big Apple red in the new. "New York, your state shall be red. And I speak of you, New Hampshire—you shall wear red; for a new jersey shall come to you, New Jersey. For there will come conservative values restored, but not until the rotten, the corrupt, and those who think that they stand in a place of power [are] cut down. And you will say, 'But we thought that it would be longer.' Ha!Whose terms is it? It is Mine, and I have come to judge at this time. "And I say to you lastly, you've been in an hour where the enemy has turned up the heat seven times hotter, like in the days of the fiery furnace of affliction of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. But something shifted it, and this is what I speak of. It looked as though it was their terms, their term, their season, until I showed up and I extinguished the fire. You will see this spring forth, and you'll see it carry you to the time of your midterms. The degree that you pray, you fast, you assemble, you vote will be the 'decree' that My fire will consume the false and bring great destruction to those who thought that their tower, their agenda, their seats would be held onto or acclaimed. "Draw a line, and I will take My finger, and I will bring a division that will cause My justice to reign. "There are some things that we're about to see. Be very wise with your words, for the enemy has come to mock you by your words. I've told you these things ahead of time so you will not come into agreement with what you think is taking place or will be the permanent future, or even a prolonged season. "Listen carefully Canada, Australia; it's your season too." A Shutdown that Leads to Divine Victory Intro: On November 9, 2025, the prophetic word of the Lord was released by Pastor Hank Kunneman regarding the government shutdown in the United States of America. The Spirit of the Lord revealed that this government shutdown prophetically represents what was written in 1 Corinthians 15:45–46, which says, "And so it is written, 'The first man Adam became a living being.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual" (NKJV). What has been shut down in the natural by way of man's government will be reflected in the spirit by God Almighty, as He shuts down the efforts, the plans, the agenda, the intent, the chaos, the division, the strife, and the purposeful intent to harm the innocent of this nation! He has said that He is shutting down the principalities and powers that thought they could continue with their agenda of darkness, and God's victory over the enemy will shift laws and legislation, schools and universities, and affect an acceleration in the nation's economy! Rejoice, as this is NOT the time of the enemy prevailing, but it's the time of celebrating divine victory, as the Lord of Hosts has shut down the plans of the enemy! Word of the Lord released by Pastor Hank Kunneman at Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, NE, on November 9, 2025: I speak to you at this time," says the Living God, "for there are men who listen with their ears, but they listen wrong. For I said in My Word, be wise on how you hear, and let those who have ears to hear hear what the Spirit of God would say unto this and to this hour. For there is a proverb in your land, United States, and there is a government shutdown. I laugh, I mock, and I wait with great anticipation of what I have planned and what shall come and fill the earth and this nation. "You watch and you see, or you shall see. For it is and it shall be as in the days when Goliath stood before a nation— Israel—that paralyzed with fear the king, the warriors, and those who governed, and they were shut down with fear. And for forty days and for forty nights things were shut down, and it looked as though ... See HANK KUNNEMAN- Page 16 The Season of the New! HANK KUNNEMAN Omaha, NE
GLAD TIDINGS 5 FEBRUARY 2026 You Are a Mighty Army, Equipped with His Armor! Nov 25, 2025 Note from Elaine: Over the past few days, the Holy Spirit has brought a dream from 2023 back to my attention. It was a very profound dream and also extremely prophetic. I want to share it again, but I changed the title to "Night Visions Revisited." I believe that the Lord is going to begin speaking to many people through dreams in this season. Night Visions Revisited By Elaine Tavolacci The other night I had a glorious, prophetic dream. I am going to share it with you by transcribing the details in the way that I saw them in this incredible night vision. Prophetic dreams often seem foolish to the carnal mind, but nevertheless, they have significant meaning. Just as Daniel said that "there is a God in Heaven who reveals secrets" (Daniel 2:28), He is the Revealer of mysteries. A Vision of the Night In the dream, I was with my friend Tina in a large, older apartment with blue walls. We said that we wanted to secure all the windows and the doors by praying over them, and so we did. Then I walked down a long hallway and found a small kitchen at the end of the hall. I walked in and said to her, "Oh, I forgot I had this kitchen! I could use this one too." I went back to the front of the apartment and met a lady named Yarni (pronounced "Yarney"). I don't think I saw her face. She told me that someone named Shirley had left a gift for me. I looked at the box and saw a large, blue book sticking out of it. Before I even took the book out, I knew it was the late John Paul Jackson's book from his course titled, "Living the Spiritual Life. Then Tina and I walked up to a huge, double picture window. I pulled up the shade and saw two beautiful horses outside, walking toward the window. The one on the left was pure white and the one on the right was jet black, and they were walking in water up to the top of their backs. We stood in awe as we watched these majestic creatures. The water was like a river that came right up to the windowsill. They had shiny coats and long, flowing manes, and they walked through the water with such strength and stamina. The black horse came close to the window and made eye contact with me with those dark, piercing eyes. The dream was so realistic. I said to Tina, "Wow, I have to record this." So I took out a camera with a telephoto lens and began adjusting it to bring clarity and to be sure that the picture was focused correctly. (Photo via Hippopx) This might sound odd, but as they were walking toward us, it seemed as if they were coming to deliver a prophetic message. In the dream, I knew that the Holy Spirit had sent them. It was if my eyes were opened to see the battle of good vs. evil. Just as the Lord spoke to Balaam through a donkey in the book of Numbers, we just need to catch what He is saying, whether it is in a dream or when we are awake. There was also another part to this dream. My friend Gail was in another scene. Tina, Gail and I were looking out another open window and witnessed a magnificent display of sparkling lights swirling around in the night sky. There were bolts of lightning in every color of the rainbow, but I seem to remember the blue, fuchsia and purple tones the most. It was similar to watching a fireworks display, but we knew that we were watching this in the spirit realm. I believe that these were angels and other heavenly beings. Dream Interpretation There was so much symbolism in these two dreams. The blue walls in the first dream represent revelation. The hallway represents transitioning from one place to another, and the kitchen represents a place of serving and being fed. The book that Shirley gave me is symbolic of teaching/learning how to live the supernatural life. The window is symbolic of the prophetic "seer" gift. We prayed over the windows and the doors first, which represent the gateways to seeing in the spirit realm. The water represents the rising river in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 47. It began ankle-deep and rose to waist-deep before it became too deep to cross. Wherever this river goes, it will bring healing. I believe that the water in this dream, coming up to the tops of the horses' backs, is prophetic of the river that is rising and the time frame that we are living in now. The water of revival is rising and will continue to rise. The two horses were the main focus of the dream. They were allegorical for the kingdom of darkness vs. the Kingdom of light. There is an intense battle on the horizon and we are going to experience a great shaking in the days ahead, but the Lord will build His Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. Jesus is strengthening His Body for these end times. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and will help us to be victorious in every battle. The Lord is raising up a mighty army that is equipped with His armor to face any challenge that comes their way. He is placing His anointing on those who are willing to pay the price. They will walk in His power and authority. He is raising up the meekest to go in and possess the land. He is raising up leaders who will carry His glory. Raising Up the Body for His End Time Harvest The Lord showed me that this dream was not only for myself. The Lord says: "I am about to open the eyes of many to begin to see in the spirit realm. I will open the eyes of their understanding, and revelation will flow in a new way. I am raising up many for the end-time harvest. There will be prophets just like Elisha who will know even the secrets that are spoken in people's bedchambers. I am raising up intercessors and watchmen on the wall. They will intercept spiritual attacks with their prayers of intercession. "I am about to uncover things that are done in the darkness, and bring the shadow of death to the light. I will restore the vision of those whose eyes have become dim, and those who have been blinded by deception will begin see with clarity. The old order prophets will be removed and replaced with the new. These prophetic ministers will bring unity rather than division. There's no place for those who are rebellious and arrogant. (Photo via Unsplash) "I'm bringing prophetic ministries in sync with one another. There will be a transference of the anointing such as Elijah passed to Elisha. I am raising up teachers in the prophetic to train the younger generation to speak forth the oracles of God; to walk in a ministry of miracles, signs, and wonders. They will learn how to discern the difference between the holy and the profane. They will walk as Jesus walked on this earth so that they can do the works that He did. "As this river rises, fivefold ministers will begin to work together to bring healing to the nations. There will be places of refuge and resting places where people will go to be healed, restored, delivered and receive their breakthroughs. They will go as they did to the Pool of Bethesda to be healed and restored. They will bring the sick, the blind, and the lame, waiting for the water to be stirred; and as the Lord stirs the waters, many will receive their healing. "Those who are lukewarm, come back to your first love. Those who are weary, come unto Me and I will give you rest. Those who need a refreshing, come and receive the anointing without measure. Be filled to overflowing. 'Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost' (Isaiah 55:1 NIV)," says the Lord. "...'Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.'"

How would you define prayer? Is it when you get on your knees and ask God to help you solve a problem or when you ask God for things you desire? Is it when you tell God that things in this world are a mess and you don’t know what to do about it? In the Hebrew language, prayer is called mishkan. It comes from the root word shakan which means to dwell. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew people built a Tabernacle or tent which God gave specific directions about constructing so that He could dwell in it and be among His people. They carried it with them throughout their 40-year journey in the wilderness going to the Promised Land and continued to use it until the Temple of Solomon was built. The Tent of Meeting, or the Tabernacle, was a picture of what God desired His people to learn. It was to teach them that prayer was not just an action of saying words or performing some act but where God and man meet together and become intimately acquainted. It was not just showing up but being in the holy presence of a holy God who loves unconditionally and wants to dwell in us. Another meaning of the word mishkan is to abide, to remain, to inhabit, or to continue. What then is the heart of prayer? It is to abide in His abiding, to rest in His rest, to remain in His remaining, to dwell in His dwelling, and to inhabit His habitation. In other words, as it says all through the book of Ephesians, we are to live in Him. “In Him we live and have our being.” Acts 17:28. We are to pray according to God’s Word, not our feelings. “The Word of God is alive and full of power, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Heb. 4:12. Eph. 6:17 says to use, “. . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God . . .” God says in Isaiah 55:11, “So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth; it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” In other words, if you speak God’s Word over a situation, it will do what God’s Word says it will do. Live in the presence of God, pray His Word, and see your prayer time change for the better. u FEBRUARY 2026 GLAD TIDINGS MARRIAGE FROM HEAVEN AN INTERNET CONNECTION by CHRISTIAN AUTHOR PEGGY ROTH CLARK Publisher Zulon Press One Christian Widow and One Christian Widower’s parallel Journey of Faith A true testimony of Godʼs faithfulness Can Be Purchased: Christian Book Stores Amazon.com & Barnes & Noble.com Author: prclark7@gmail.com Delightful and Inspiring!

My father was in an accident on December 26 and passed away on December 29. We were very close, and I couldn’t accept how sudden and quick his passing was. by that time I had just given birth to my youngest child, and I was struggling with postpartum depression, exhaustion, and s l e e p l e s s nights. One day, after doing laundry the whole day, I was s o tired, I fell asleep wi thout even eating. Less than a minute later, I heard a deafening sound—like a trumpet—growing louder and louder. My heartbeat raced. I wanted to move or scream, but I couldn’t. Then I saw myself hanging from a cliff. I let go, whispering, “Lord, it’s all up to You, I’m so tired.” Suddenly, the heavy feeling lifted, and my fall slowed down. I found myself in a place full of green grass, trees, flowers, and butterflies. I ran endlessly until I saw a tall and beautiful silver gate. When I touched it, it opened on its own. Inside were many people, all wearing long white garments, silently looking at me. Under a tree, I saw two figures: my father, wearing the same clothes he had the last time I saw him, and a tall man with a staff. His face shone so brightly that I couldn’t see it clearly. I ran to my father and hugged him tightly. Crying, I told him how much I missed him. He embraced me back and said, “Why are you here? It’s not yet your time.” Then the man with the staff stood, approached me, and gently touched my head. At that moment, I woke up—gasping for air, with tears in my eyes, and still feeling the warmth of my father’s embrace. Until today, I cannot say for sure if it was just a dream or a real spiritual experience. But I know one thing for certain: my life is not yet over. There is still a reason why I am here. And that truth is what I hold onto every day. u “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 Author Unknown A New Year Prayer Precious Heavenly Father May our faith be strong as we journey on In the start of a brandNew Year And our days be blessed with peace and rest And freedom from doubt and fear As we lift our hands and voices, Lord In heartfelt thanks and praise We’re grateful for the light You shine Through darkest nights and days Bring comfort, Lord, to those who weep Whose hearts are filled with sorrow O Saviour, give them strength, we pray To face each new tomorrow The Light of life and hope are You The Rock on which we stand O Sun of Righteousness, we pray For healing in this land Forever be our shelter, Lord Throughout each night and day And bring to pass Your perfect will O Saviour, God, we pray.

KINGDOM AT HAND “Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye, and believe the gospel.’” (Mark 1:14-15). Have you ever contemplated the true meaning of this Scripture? Actually, I do not believe we fully understand what Jesus was trying to tell us. I mean, after all, “For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face.” (I Cor. 13:12). I believe Scriptural Truth is revealed to us layer upon layer. Just look at the previous verse, “When I was a child,.I understood as a child… but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (I Cor. 13:11). Scripture is teaching us that our understanding comes based on the level of our spiritual maturity. Reading this, can we conclude that every verse offers a “childish” revelation? If we conclude such, then we also must conclude that every verse also offers an “adult” or “mature” revelation; and even beyond. In 2007, I spent time meditating on Mark 1:14-15 and arrived at a new layer of understanding. I sought to put away the childish understanding I’ve always had. For me, to gain a richer understanding of something, I study the Greek words. Sometimes, our English translations only offer a single tree in an entire forest. I have found the Greek can many times help me see the forest as well as the beauty of the individual trees. So, let’s look at the Greek forest offered here. While definitions may be vast, I am going to focus on the portions that spoke this new vein of understanding to me. However, as always, I encourage you to do a study of your own (Acts 17:11). There are fresh understandings waiting to be discovered by you, for your specific need. Let’s start with “Kingdom”. It is a royal dominion or rule. Moreso, it is the right or authority to rule over a kingdom. This seemed to be telling me that God has a right, which he purchased on the cross, to have authority over me. I will discuss this in more detail later. Next, “at hand” seemed to be the portion I felt was not firm in my heart. I had always thought that Jesus’ having made the Kingdom of God available to us through his death and resurrection was the basic meaning. Suddenly, it felt as if there was a more mature meaning. So, off I went to the Greek. It means, “To join one thing to another.” Wow. In other words, Jesus was fusing us with His Kingdom. Think on that for a moment! Okay, I know. If the Kingdom was made available to us, then it meant we sign up as citizens through our belief in Who Christ is. Then, once we leave this earthly body, we get to live in that Kingdom. BUT that thinking is only partial truth. We know in Revelation, God will give us a new Heaven and new earth which will be joined together (Rev. 21). Yet, in this study, I discovered the Kingdom of God was at hand that very day Jesus spoke of it. Before I explain how I came to that belief, let me ask that you not label me as a Kingdom Now teacher. In fact, I prefer you not label me as anything other than Believer in Jesus as my Messiah. I can only share what Holy Spirit reveals to me through prayer and study. I would venture to say it does not fall in any specific category or denomination. It is birthed out of my relationship with my Bridegroom Jesus. Now, back to my afore mentioned explanation. I looked up the tense of this Greek word. Check this out, it is perfect, active, indicative. What these represent are incredible. First, active states that the subject (the Kingdom) is the performer of the action. Next, indicative is simply a fact. Oh, but look at perfect. This implies that the action has been “perfected”. In other words, “completed, past, does not need repeating.” What a picture Jesus painted here. I am going to rewrite it in the mental picture I saw. Jesus came preaching the good news of the right and authority God has to rule and have dominion over our lives. He taught me I have been bound, yoked, and married to His rule over my life, and the things which affect my life on a daily basis. It is a fact that the Kingdom itself has completed this work. This living, moving, growing (Luke 13:18f) Kingdom thrives within my soul (Luke 17:21). After gaining this insight, I began to wonder how I can continue to live as if everything were normal. How can I treat this Kingdom as something trivial. See, in Mark 1:15, the next thing Jesus says is, “repent ye and believe the gospel.” “Repent” means to change your mind. Once again the tense came into play here: present,imperative. Yep, present mea ns now. Interesting how the Kingdom’s adjoining to us was a past action, but repent is a NOW action. It is something the hearer must do upon hearing this command. See, imperative, is as it sounds…amust. The imperative tense “expresses a command to the hearer to perform a certain act by the order and authority of the one commanding”. Incredible, Jesus has just given a command to repent. Once we understand the Gospel that the Kingdom has come, we must change our minds and be convinced this gospel is absolute Truth. There is a great deal of debate in America about securing our borders. We have a legal way to becoming a citizen of this “kingdom” - if you will - of America. We want people to adjoin themselves to our kingdom by going through the legal process. One day, a person may be a citizen of another country, but then becomes convinced America offers a better opportunity for advancement. That person just changed his mind about what nation he wishes to be his home. I am an American because I was born in and continue to live in America. One can become a citizen in God’s Kingdom (called a Christian) by being reborn into and living in Christ. There is no dual citizenship in Christ. There is only one way to the Father’s Kingdom…. through Jesus (John 14:6). I also believe that I must continually repent when I long for worldly things…things outside the borders of God’s Kingdom. Arriving at a deeper understanding of God’s Truth about His Kingdom being at hand, led me to change my mind. I decided that the Kingdom offers all I need. The U.S. Secretary of State represents our country and it’s opinion to other nations. He carries himself with great dignity because of what he represents. Do we ever fail to carry ourselves with the dignity God’s Kingdom deserves on a daily basis? This is I must stay focused to confess when I fail to be such an ambassador of Christ’s Kingdom. Are there days where you just suffer through work or life, and placing Christ in the forefront seems to be far from you? That certainly was the case for me. I realized I could no longer live the same after gaining this fresh insight. After all, this Kingdom we are discussing dwells inside me. I must be professional for Jesus daily by first professing Him through my actions and thoughts. When the U.S. Secretary of State walks into a room with dignitaries from other countries, it may as well be the U.S. President himself entering. Those people know he carries the words of his leader, and is looking out for his interest and the interest of the people of America. We are the same. We each should be known as one who carries the Words of our King, while looking out for God’s interest as well as that of our fellow Christian. There is so much more I could say, but will refrain. Even as I write this, I am reminded of John’s writing, “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen” (John 21:25). Yet, we think we know all there is to know about Christ. I dare say, I have not even scratched the surface. I want to be the feet of Jesus everywhere! Please meditate in God’s presence on what you have read. Ask Christ, if these things are so. Study them for yourself. If you find this to be the heart of God, ask Him to teach you how you can become the citizen He created you to be. I find myself newly compelled to, “seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness.” (Matt. 6:33). I am grateful that He has given me the privilege to become a citizen of His Kingdom. God, please help me to live as such! u GLAD TIDINGS 7 FEBRUARY 2026 Signs of Life from The King's Highway Evangelistic Ministries SARA GOLDSTEIN
Do you remember what a parable is? It's a story Jesus told to teach a lesson. The story should be easy to remember and will have a special meaning for us to learn from. This is the parable of the lost sheep. Jesus started by telling the story to men called tax collectors and Pharisees. These were men who thought they were more important than everyone else and they weren't very nice. They were whispering about Jesus and how he shouldn't eat and talk with sinners. It's funny they would say that because we all are sinners, we all do things we shouldn't. The tax collectors and Pharisees thought that they were better than everyone else. In fact, they didn't think they had to repent or say sorry to God for their mistakes. Have you ever felt really bad for something you've done? Maybe you've hit your brother or sister and afterwards you wished you hadn't. When you really feel sorry for something and tell that person you are sorry, that is what we do when we repent. Just like with our family we need to feel bad and say sorry to God when we've done something wrong. The Pharisees and tax collectors didn't think that they had to do this because they were so important. Of course Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he told this parable: Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine sheep and go find the one sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he is so excited he carries the sheep all the way home. Then he phones all his friends and neighbors and has a party to celebrate the sheep that was found. Then Jesus told what the parable meant: Just like there was a big party over the one lost sheep, there will be a big party in heaven over just one sinner who repents than over ninetynine people who think they are perfect and don't need to repent. Just imagine, when you say "your sorry" to God all of heaven has a big party just for what you've done! God is much more excited when we say we're sorry than when we act like nothing has happened and don't think we need to repent at all. But you know, Jesus just kept going and he told another parable. Listen and see if this sounds like something you've already heard. Suppose a woman has ten dollar coins and loses one. Does she not turn on all her lights, sweep the whole house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls all her friends and neighbors and has a party to celebrate finding the lost coin. Just like the lost coin, there is great joy with all of God's angels over one sinner who repents. I think the lesson here is that nobody is perfect (except God of course). It's very important that when we make a mistake we realize we have done something wrong and we tell God we're sorry. It's as simple as taking a couple minutes, going somewhere quiet would be best (but you can talk to God anywhere), and just say you're sorry for the wrong thing you've done and ask God to forgive you. When you ask God to forgive you He immediately erases the mistake from His mind and He won't think of it again. It's pretty easy, huh?! Just think how happy God will be when you do it ,and you'll feel better too! u King’s Kids A Featurette of Glad Tidings - A Non-Denominational Christian Newspaper 8 GLAD TIDINGS FEBRUARY 2026 The Lost Sheep DLTK's Bible Stories for Children by Sharla Guenther
