Psalms 123:1-2 and 145:1-3.
My Shepherd met me in His green pastures and laid me down in Mark 8 and Matthew 15-16.
Father spoke to me concerning the “leaven” of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the leaven of Herod (Matthew 16:11; Mark 8:15).*
Jesus made it clear that the “leaven” referred to the “doctrine” (didache) of the religious and secular leaders of the day. It’s a word used in every University in the US and Europe. We know that these schools are the spawning ground of the Marxist-socialist-based ideology of Progressives, Woke, BLM, and Antifa, in service to the Globalist agendas of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the infamous World Economic Forum. Gate’s depopulation agenda, the Climate hoaxes, the Transgender hoax, whose proponents concocted the Russia Hoax, to viciously, violently, and vilely attack the MAGA movement that opposes them, are all creatures of the “leaven” of the Christ-hating religious leaders (the Pharisees and Sadducees), and preacher-killing political leaders (Herod).
Along the still waters, the Spirit communed with me. Jesus warned us, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees” (the corrupt religious leaders—Matthew 16:6) and of Herod (the corrupt political leaders—Mark 8:15). To “take heed” means to be discerning concerning, to understand with clarity. To “beware” means to keep your eyes open wide at something remarkable, to be on guard, wary of the danger it represents.
Every mass shooting (recently, the shooter at Evergreen High School in Jefferson Country, near Denver, CO), every racial murder (latest: Decarlos Dejuan Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska and walked away muttering, “I got the white girl”), every political assassination attempt against President Trump (a la, Thomas Matthew Crooks’ at Butler, PA), has been perpetrated by a monster created by the religious and secular leaven that has corrupted our institutions of higher learning, or by someone trained there whose influence inspired and shaped the lives of the perpetrators.
We are mourning the loss of Charles James Kirk (Charlie Kirk), who was martyred yesterday at Utah Valley University during an event sponsored by the students of the University. As of 9/11/2021, 11:14 AM PST, the shooter is still at large. Charlie was martyred by the same “leaven” that killed Jesus Christ.
In the valley, shadowed by His Cross, I heard the Spirit speak, This death was “for a testimony against them” (Matthew 10:22), and to bring “forth much fruit” (John 12:24—for “Verily, verily, I say unto. you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit”), and when i cried, He said, “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal” (John 12:25). Jesus said, “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour” (John 12:26). He looked at me and said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23), and any who refuse “is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:38).
At the table, Jesus said, “All who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution,” that “we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22), and that “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).
I reset my grip upon the plow and my eyes on the prize of His high calling (Luke 9:62; Philippians 3:14), bowed my head as He anointed me with His oil, and took up my cup after He filled it with His grace (Psalm 23:5). Goodness and mercy hurried to catch up to us as we walked swiftly into the harvest.
Praying for revival! 🙏

[*Mark represents Jesus as warning against the “leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod” (Mark 8:15). Matthew relates the same story, only he represents Jesus as warning against “the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees” (Matthew 16:11). We notice Mark repeats the word “leaven” in his account: the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.” Matthew combines the Pharisees and the Sadducees together as representing the religious Jews. I think either Matthew recognized the generic use of the Pharisees and reckoned it included the Sadducees, but omitted Christ’s mention of Herod as dismissed on any account. In contrast, Mark, who wrote the Gospel to the Romans, included the reference to Herod. I do not doubt Jesus spoke directly of all three categories, the Pharisees and the Sadducees representing the religious Jews of the day, and separately of Herod. Herod was an Idumean, of the Edomites, or descendants of Esau. The Edomites were compelled to convert to Judaism in about 125 BC under the reign of John Hyrcanus. — see https://chatgpt.com/s/t_68c34f8065988191a888485441204324 for the history of this expansion of Judah during the Maccabean Revolt.]
