Covid Lab-Leak is a Scandal of Media and Government Censorship — Jonathan Turley

Below is my column in the New York Post on the Wall Street Journal revealing that the Department of Energy has concluded that Covid-19 likely originated from a Chinese lab. According to the report, American intelligence has found evidence to support the long-dismissed “lab theory.” This has led to another media “my bad” moment where news outlets are shrugging that the theory may not be a conspiracy or racist theory after all. As usual, there is little attention to the experts who were shredded for raising the theory or the reporters who insisted that this was a debunked conspiracy theory.

A damning indictment of US media and government complicity in controlling news.

Dutch Sheets’ Flashpoint interview transcribed — Esther’s Petition
Bette Cox, who writes at Esther’s Petition, comments as follows on my previous post:
“Richard, thanks so much for posting this. I am a professional transcriptionist (now retired), and I transcribed this interview straight from the video. I thought you might like to have a clean, accurate transcription of it, instead of the auto-transcribed one (which contained a few errors along the way) so I’m attaching it as a text file. Share with others if you like.
I had watched the Flashpoint interview with Dutch myself when it was first broadcast. It was indeed powerful.”

BANG ON TARGET!
A very good test for whether something really is of the Lord is when it attracts a ‘flak attack’. In keeping a men’s Bible study group informed of events at Asbury I posted this video with a note of its preceding the outpouring by a fortnight and referred to its receipt 22 years ago, thereby being a true prophecy.
However, someone of Cessationist stance took exception by accusing Dutch of being connected with Peter Wagner’s new apostolic reformation and connected with Toronto.
SO I simply referred to my no longer being a 24/7 carer of my dear wife Nina when she was permanently wheelchair-bound because John Arnott listened to the Lord, as told below:
From ‘Disabled’ to Enabled – Jesus heals Nina’s spine
Events at Asbury fulfill Dutch Sheets’ 22 years-old open vision of widespread revival of fiery love!
22 years less 7 month ago – SO here we go again with my number – intercessor Dutch Sheets had an eyes wide-open vision of hand-writing on a far wall like an invisible hand creating a neon light referring to Acts 3:19 – as though watching a movie!!
A fortnight before the continual spiritual outpouring began in a chapel in Asbury college, Dutch recounts having been forcibly interrupted during an address he was giving to a large gathering days after the 9/11 twin towers catastrophe. He watched an open vision about widespread revival coming to the younger generations, as told in this account of 24th January and the many details of which are now coming to pass:

Triple witness over 3 days to John 14:12 “greater things” promise (GPS #94)
Didn’t expect such a gathering momentum of double and triple ‘God-incidents’ since I started blogging upon the Deuteronomy 19:15 principle; ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established’.
My introduction to the prophetic word brought by Christopher Wickland about Revival in the UK refers to my troubled conclusion as a pre-teenager over Jesus’ promise to His disciples of their performing miracles, even to a greater extent, no longer applies in our days!
That was drafted on Thursday for publication early Friday morning – but unbeknown to me, that kicked started three days of a daily ‘God-incidence’ – SO the Lord is catching our attention and saying “Take note!”….
- FRIDAY, my reference to John 14:12 goes public
- SATURDAY morning at an Equip and Ignite conference in Winchester Vineyard, Mark Iles, director of School For Prophecy, begins his teaching and practical prophecy session by citing John 14:12.
- SUNDAY morning service at 3Counties Vineyard, Haslemere, and guest speaker Steve Nicholson (senior leader in Vineyard movement from Chicago) cites John 14:12 as the basis for his message on accessing and moving in the Holy Spirit (at 26 mins of linked video).
And so we have yet another example not only of God-incident’s but also of the Lord using His ‘GPS’ system of Global Prophecy Signals.
PS. I well recall John Arnott teaching on that verse at Toronto 20 years ago and how my feet took off on front of me! Thankfully however, my head was invisibly cushioned as my shoulders hit the floor quite a distance behind where I’d just been standing!!!

‘End-game’ confirmed: 2 – Prophecy of Revival in the UK, Christopher Wickland
After carving out some time to listen fully, not fast-play, to this prophecy I was most excited on how its manifestation will answer my abiding dislike over 65 years, since a child, of divisions between believers in Jesus Christ, on grounds given in “You shouldn’t be at our school”, the first part of my personal testimony
Moreover, in listening to scripture read by the priest in my parents’ Catholic church it dawned on me that clergy were not doing the greater miracles Jesus promised in John 14:12 – “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father”.
WOWEEEE – pastor Wickland accurately foretold our economic woes, so I can’t wait to see this mighty prophetic word come to pass. Just click on image to play…

Verse for Today, Friday 24th February, from BibleGateway:
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)
“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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
‘End-game’ confirmed: 1 – Asbury, Kentucky, commentary
For readers unfamiliar with how I heard about the fulfillment of ALL Bible prophecy and how it involves the End-time harvest, including removal first of poisonous darnel, or tares, you may want to read this summary first:
Now it’s good to know I’m not alone – here’s confirmation connecting the Asbury Revival to that Matthew 13 ‘parable’:

Three prophetic words for UK on waves and God having His way
During the School For Prophecy Solent group gathering on 21st January at Winchester Vineyard church, Mark Iles mentioned that last July 2020 he had a vision of a very large incoming wave.
Now that reminded me of having seen a wave of spiritual, living water approaching and coming into a local parish church in that very same month!
Seated close by the main door in a meeting of a prophecy group, I was astonished at watching, eyes wide open, this spiritual, living water swamp the doors and then sweep through the building’s circular nave.
As it rolled through at chest height I just couldn’t remain silent. It burst through the back doors into the local housing estate and I sensed neighbours would be alarmed. So, it would be helpful for them to be given the good news of the Gospel and come into their salvation.
During a previous meeting there were many prophetic impressions received. My dear Nina was visibly touched by Holy Spirit upon hearing and shaking as she conveyed,
“I’m having MY way regardless!”
AMEN, let it be so dear Lord.
Selah!
“Occupy (ie. do My business) until I come” – Luke 19
Luke 19 Authorised King James Version (Bible Gateway):
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore,
“A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Occupy till I come’.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
I submit that this apparently pecuniary parable refers to the Holy Spirit giftings Jesus bestows upon his followers to become apostles and disciples and upon His return an examination of their diligent application, thereby receiving further empowerment.

Two visionary signs of the sun (A reminder)
[Posted 16 June 2021]
Returning to my focus upon Jesus’ Return you may recall these two confirmations of my ‘nudges’:
As told in Lillian Brown’s message from the Holy Spirit to “Brace yourself. Get ready for Jesus’ soon return!”, pastor Rachel Bird mentioned having that impression some time ago and referred to visions of a supra-natural atomic bomb that her husband and I had. On the following Saturday morning Nina had an open vision that related not only to that but also to Lillian’s asking about the glory, “What will it look like?” (From 17:45 mark of her video she urges us to await God’s glory as Jesus comes closer.)

Behold It’s A New Thing! Do You See it? – Veronika West
Published this morning by Veronika on Ignite Ireland Ministry Facebook. This version’s text alone comes courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy: and I’m so pleased to learn of the Lord’s response to my frequent asking about when He’s going to take action against all persistent evil…
“DO YOU SEE IT? NOW IT SPRINGS FORTH! BEHOLD, IT’S A NEW THING!”
“Beloved, surely I have purposed — but man has despised!
I have set out My Plans — but many have resisted and rejected them!
Have I not said that My Ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts?
For My Ways and thoughts are higher than yours.
Listen! Take heed to My Words! I AM not a God Who changes His Mind or evolves with the times. I AM unchanging! I AM the same yesterday, today and forever!
Soon My Patience and My Understanding will run out, and those who have stood against Me will be swiftly and severely dealt with!
My Mercy proceeds Justice, but when the bowls of iniquity are full, suddenly and without warning — The Scales will tip and The Gavel of My Justice will fall, and the rebellious and stiff necked will be broken — and will never recover.
So, guard your heart! Do not lean on your own understanding. Do not jeer and mock at My Timing, or question My Ways, for You do not see the beginning from the end, and the end from the beginning, as I do.
You only see what is right in front of you, and so your knowledge is limited — and your understanding is lacking.
Watch! For My Governing Hand is always moving, shifting and rearranging, and resetting things in perfect order to ensure and guarantee that all things — all things — work together for the good of those who Love Me.
So, do not think or accuse Me of being deaf to your Call, or distant when you draw close.
I tell you now, live by Faith and not by your feelings that are ever fleeting, fickle and constantly unpredictable!
But cast down vain imaginations, and cast off questionings that bring doubt, unbelief and double mindedness, for I AM an ever present Help in times of trouble.
My Strong right hand is always outstretched towards you to Rescue and Redeem, Revive and Restore your life.
Beloved, be quick to Repent of your Pride and relinquish the need to be in control!
Why make Me wait and delay My Divine Deliverance and Wonder Working power to perform miracles in the midst of you, because you have chosen to rather explore and exhaust all other man made ideas and quick fix solutions?
When will you let go of human intellect and understanding, and Look to Me alone?
When will you abandon your will, in exchange for My Will and My Way?
For surely I tell you, as soon as you let go and Trust Me, you will see that I have already made provision, like the ram that was caught in the thicket. (Genesis 22:13)
There is Great Reward in store for those who will walk by Faith and in radical obedience to My Word!
My Redeemed Ones, be of good Courage and Pay attention to My Word. Do not think I AM unmindful of the fears, the frailties, and the weaknesses of the human heart, but know that I AM a God of Love and Discipline, Righteousness and Holiness.
Fools ignore instruction and are therefore Ignorant and blind and soon fall into a pit, but the wise listen and obey, and soon prosper and live in peace.
So, come close — for I AM a Consuming Fire!
Draw near to Me, and let the Burning Fires of My Glory ignite and divinely energise you, for My Fire will empower you to lay claim to all My Promises that are yours through Inheritance.
Let us Reign together in My Kingdom — for these are indeed Glory-filled days!
So, choose Me this day, and the Oil will never run dry, but you will be filled, fueled and burning brightly, and I shall make you a Sign and a Living Witness on the earth, of My Goodness and extraordinary Grace and Love to all who see you!
Look! For the Season has changed! Do you see it? Now it springs forth! Behold — it’s a new thing!”
Blessings to you all.

What to make of the Asbury Revival? — John Barber

What to make of the Asbury Revival? Part of my daily watchman routine is to check out the likes of Bitchute for news on what is going on in the world, which is often grim and foreboding, yet often culminates in new articles on my blog. Today, I came across this report: “Asbury Revival: Why […] What to make of the Asbury Revival? — JRB Publications
John Barber brings a valuable observation and I’d add that, as long-in-the-tooth guys, our role is not only to act as Calebs for generation Z but also to stir our aged fellows who quench and grieve the Holy Spirit – even though being scripturally literate – about this new move’s immense importance > or else miss out and get ‘left behind’!

My number again – Dutch Sheets, “Two twenty two; Keys to open and close!”
Whilst prepping a reprise of my mini-series on End-times Briefing I was getting nudged about the numerals of today’s date: UK sequence 22.2.23 – US sequence 2.22.23.
Then after blogging I checked emails and find this from Roger J in South Africa:
“Richard, the whole of this post is for you buddy. Sample text in italics, link below. Go gitt’em!
“In 2000, while preparing for a cross-country flight, I happened to notice that my departure time was 2:22. I was then seated in row 22, and the total flight time was 2 hours and 22 minutes. My first thought was what a strange coincidence! Then I remembered that the Lord had been speaking to me regarding Isaiah 22:22. “I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open.” I knew that in Scripture, keys symbolized authority, and that shoulders symbolize government (see Isaiah 9:6). Would God do something like this to bring me a confirmation? I wondered.
A couple of days later, I received a phone call from a friend. While in prayer, he felt prompted to call and give me Isaiah 22:22. He said, “Dutch, God is giving you a higher level of authority to pray for our government.”

Is Smith-Wigglesworth’s vision of UK in revival about to be fulfilled?
IS SMITH WIGGLESWORTH’s VISION, AND 50 YEARS LATER TO HIS PRAYER PARTNER, OF BRITAIN IN FULL REVIVAL FIRE ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED?
After awaking on Sunday I was reminded of the undermentioned personal event in 1997 and recalled the format of morning’s 3Counties Vineyard service is an ‘Open Morning’.
So I asked the Lord if I’m to mention this, and if so then I need clear indicators to do so. First, know that the service’s focus was upon ‘feasting and joy’, and that two ‘signs’ did come through what others brought to share:
- One in some detail about revival from Andrew (beginning at 28 min of video) and referring to John Wimber as founder of the Vineyard movement (more later).
- Another was brought during the unrecorded, offline period with reference to a way of reading scripture and hearing Holy Spirit speak upon 4 personally applicable points.
- Note, that one of the moves prophesied by Smith-Wigglesworth refers to the Word and Spirit coming together and a few years ago when visiting a baptist church we were told by its powerfully prophetical pastor that the Baptist Union has come to recognise that duality as an important principle.
Therefore, it was clear I was to speak and my very condensed version of the following taken from an old email, as linked below, was received with delight:
‘At a prayer for revival meeting in 1997 on the anniversary of the Welsh revival, I had the privilege of meeting 80 years old Rev Norman James, who’d been prayer partner of the renowned ‘apostle of faith’, Smith Wigglesworth.
When this small group stood in a close circle to pray, Norman was less than a yard right in front of me. As he was quite short my eyes opened to gaze fully into his face and I couldn’t help but notice his eyes alight with excitement. A HUGE, beaming smile – he was radiant!
Norman could hardly speak, save to whisper, “I’ve just seen what Wigglesworth saw – Britain in revival, on fire for the Lord!”
Ever so briefly he explained that in Wigglesworth’s 88th year the Lord had given him a vision of a future revival in Britain. He knew it would happen decades ahead but he so desperately desired to see such days. Thus Norman confided, “No wonder he wanted the Lord to keep him alive!“. But he couldn’t find the words to describe its wonder!’

End-Times Briefing 6: New Ager sees first pieces of God’s ‘jigsaw’
How a New Age follower got hooked into the Bible’s prophecies.
A unique take from die-hard anti-Christian confronted by facts in non-Christian book!
As an ex-unbeliever rescued by Jesus Christ in person and ‘born-again’ by Holy Spirit into life everlasting through His sinless blood, I reiterate Chuck Missler’s concern:
“You may not believe what the Bible says, but what’s utterly astonishing is that so very many claim to believe in Jesus yet have no grasp of the idea Christ is to literally return and rule!”
The aim of these Briefings is to help my readers be better informed and thus grasp that truth. If an ardently anti-church guy deeply involved in New Age teachings, who viewed ‘Bible-bashers’ as bigots, could grasp and keep hold of this mind-blowing stuff, then how much easier is it for believers in Jesus to fully appreciate these things?
So, come on a revelatory journey with me that hints at the relevance of Bible ‘coding’: Continue reading
End-Times Briefing 5: pastor’s ‘Sign in the Sun’ vision warns of coming global cataclysm! [Prophecy coming to pass!]
