Hi friends. Kathy and I are about to begin a new show where we discuss items of interest to the body of Christ. WE have named it THE SPOTT REPORT. SPOTT captures the goal and purpose of the effort – Strategic, Prophetic, Overcomers, Training and Tactics. Stay tuned for the launch announcement.
We also have several new ways for friends to support the ministry. Check out the Donate page. We are set up now on Swipe Simple, a Christian donation processing provider, as well as Venmo, and PayPal.
I remember hearing a story not long ago about a young, up-and-coming stockbroker who dreamed of making it big one day. He adjusted everything in his life to enhance his career and realize his dreams.
One day this young stockbroker had a chance encounter with a friend from school and during their conversation about their lives since graduation, the young stockbroker decided to impress his schoolmate with the potential success he was hoping to achieve.
He took his friend on a drive to the local marina and began to point out the huge yachts at the dock. He pointed to one and said, “That one belongs to the senior partner at Merrill Lynch. That one over there is owned by the CEO of Goldman Sachs. And look at that yacht over there; that is the pride and joy of the top seller at Prudential-Bache.”
The young stockbroker glanced at his friend expecting to see a look of wonder and awe but instead, he saw a pained look accompanied by silence. The young stockbroker was taken aback and asked his friend what was wrong. The friend responded, “I was just wondering, are there any customer’s yachts you can show me?”
The Time Is Now[1]
However political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

Independence Day 2022 is here. It is a time of reflection and deep thought concerning what Independence Day 2023 will look like. America is in distress. Wickedness and evil people have gained control of our governments at every level. The disaster that Americans are experiencing right now will not change unless we decide to take appropriate action to change it.
One thing among many that the last two years has cemented in the consciousness of a growing number of Americans is that elected representatives at the local, state and federal level routinely disrespect those they claim to represent. This disrespect has been building for decades but is now unmasked for even casual observers. The last two years pulled back the curtain and snapped the last threads of illusion. Politicians are wholly owned by corporations and foreign governments, as brokered by their lawyers and bag-men, also known as lobbyists.
The book of Revelation reveals Heaven’s mandate for this hour: To come out of Babylon. Yet, Mystery Babylon is not a city or nation that we can simply walk out. The tentacles of Babylon are global. Therefore, a deeper application of the Kingdom and completed work of Christ must be wrought in the believer’s life that encompasses our tripartite being. A very important and powerful message for the Remnant!

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. Romans 1:28-32
Each day brings new blessings from the Lord. Each day provides new opportunities to demonstrate your faith. Each day will likely also provide challenges that will attempt to undermine both His blessings and our faith.
The Bible speaks repeatedly about the consequences of a slanderous and gossiping spirit. Psalm 101:5 for example informs us that:
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heartwill I endure.
