      I’m so proud of you John & Mercedes, Best video you’ve ever made! (This Response to M of B.) John, this is not only happening to you. Yahweh (His Holy Spirit) is moving in the hearts of many as a calling to separate themselves out from the world. He’s calling out a remanent who will follow Him and be steadfast during the storms that will come. Your explanation is parallel to what happened to me. God told me to turn off the news, stop listening and watching. Like you I have a strong passion for this country. But He has turned that passion to Him and His ways and understanding. His faith is infinite, His love is infinite, meaning not bound by time, space or any human understanding. It is almost unfathomable. As David writes in the Psalms over and over. We are warriors at heart. So now, let your worship be your warfare, and in some form or another preach the good news. Mercedes, John doesn’t have to be a “preacher” to preach. To preach can be as simple as living out what you know & believe.
      Your journeys in the spirit and the natural will balance out with each other. The key ingredient as you know, is love.

      I am 70 also, and I thought his message was perfect. He has eyes wide open. Many do not have hope the way the gvts are moving. People are dropping dead on their feet, dropping dead while working,
      Dieing while doing sports. Just dropping dead. Plus they got the 15 min cities they want to lock people in. No cars, u got a report card that determines if you get food that day, no cars, life is getting pretty scary. John has his eyes wide open. It is confusing what is what God wants preached about. There is NO solution. How can we win against people who have more money then they need, who are so bored they want control, think we are all useless eaters. How do you fight them? How do you fight UFO invasions? Wars, earthquakes that will rattle your teeth out?
      Well, I'm gonna ignore them, mostly, and go gold prospecting and camping, and if the world implodes well it was a good run, I did the best I could.
      I will be looking for Mercedes hope project. We can definitely use some hope. Good move to look for it. If we can pray our newer truck into our front yard, and get packed we will be headed out.
      Good luck. John, never stop listening to God. He will sort this all out for you. God bless.

My wife was supportive but she finally convinced me to, “put more positives in my life”. Since then I’ve stepped back, because I know it’s in Gods time and it will be His hands.

    I haven’t watched you guys in over a year. I decided to check in and John is scaring everyone and Mercedes is saying her husband is in late afternoon.
    From where I’m sitting John is spot on. I don’t blame Mercedes for being unsettled by it. Because John felt strongly and did share a scary (but true) message it is not his fault and it is not incumbent on him to have the solution. If you see a house on fire doesn’t mean if you sound the alarm you also have to put it out.
    I see a lot of people accusing others of being “too God(ie)” no such thing. I hope you keep pointing to God and trusting on him. Sometimes its all we can do. Don’t forget Noah spend 100 years building an ark and telling people why and convinced no one. John

    Jon, I went through this for several years. I was ridiculed, called crazy, laughed at, talked about, intimidated by the enemy, followed, messed with, etc. Why? I was spending every waking moment trying to shake people awake. It's tough being a warrior for truth and justice. You are not alone in your feelings of needing to educate and warn people. Yes, we are supposed to be loving and compassionate, but God also tells us to be bold as lions. We are spiritual beings and this world is not our home. Be led by God and not the criticisms of others. Our human instincts are to be liked and accepted by others, but ultimately, it's God's acceptance that counts. Warning people about the mark of the beast is a noble thing. Don't feel bad or guilty for doing that. You may have lost some earthly thinkers, but you may have saved some souls. I don't need to explain that any further. You know what you know. Follow your God Heart.

He wants the best for us, but all too often we don't want that for ourselves. We'd rather attack and divide, but be aware, God knows who are His. And He knows who aren't. They are the ones who are grateful to be warned, and who listen. Not attack. You just can't please everyone, can you?!

    John, Mercedes don't worry about things you can't control, people will listen, or they won't. Been following you two for a while now and do understand the passion that is present in you. Many years ago, I was recalled back home from sea duty due to my mother's death only to find her alive in a hospital, talk about a shock. She had suffered for many years in pain and that's when she told me she didn't understand why they had brought her back to this world, first time in many years she felt free from pain. I visited with her for 3 days before she passed away and will always remember what she said. Fast forward 15 odd years and I honored an agreement that both my wife and I had made to each other and took her off life support, I now have the same agreement with the person who has my power of attorney to do the same for me if it comes to that stage in my life. So, you see that we can only control what we can control, nothing else. Now I am not a church goer, but I do believe, the Man upstairs has a plan for all of us, most of us don't know what it is. God bless you and your family for whatever he has instore for you brother.

      It is unfortunate that we live in a very dangerous world where there is surveillance everywhere. Criminals are now being caught on RING video cameras and 4 youths were just caught by use of video at an elementary school down the street from our home for vandalizing the school. If it hadn't been for the video there may not have been swift justice for this act of vandalism. However, I totally agree that, in the information age, that we have very little privacy left and our information and photos are out there for the taking by criminals as well. Someone filed an IRS tax return in our name in 2014 and since then we get a special PIN code every January from the IRS to file our tax returns. Luckily that is all they stole.

    I too have been down so many rabbit holes, trying to understand what is going on in this world. It took me 5 years to understand that being informed doesn't change God's plan. The song chorus to "I don't need to understand" helps me to remember...
    "I don’t ever need to ask the reason, why
    For I know He’ll make a way
    Through the night and through the day
    I don’t need to understand
    I just need to hold His hand"

    I think , for myself at 70 yrs old, my priorities are different than when i was younger. The same as now, since my husband is retired, our money issues look different than during our peak earning years ago.. This whole age thing has made me much more aware of not only my own mortality but of how I'm living my SPIRITUAL life. So seeing the things going on around us in the world is naturally distressing. BUT that has made me much more confident that the lyrics from the song we sang in the '60's from "Wayfaring Stranger", "This world is not my home, I'm only passing thru, if Heaven's not my home, then Lord what would I do?" is true, I'm more focused than ever on that. You guys are just living these thoughts & stages in your lives out loud for everyone to see.

That nothing going on right now in this world is a surprise to Him. Keep sharing His love on this channel, keep sharing how He's moving in your life. Keep leading by example. People need good examples these days. I've unscribed from so many RV you tube channels in the last few months because they are not what real life is for us.

As Christians we now have 2 natures. Whichever we feed the most will be the strongest. But be Spiritually obvious without being Spiritually obnoxious.

    Well John, here’s how we see it. It’s been a rough 3 years of eye opening events and truths to see IF people choose to open their eyes. What should we do, pretend it’s NOT happening so that those who refuse to see will be comfortable?
    Look, it’s gloves off time and it’s gotten down and dirty and if we are EVER going to have a chance at a decent world again, we better get smart, get educated to it and get going!!!! I’m sorry that that grandmother got scared by your video, but as I see it, if she is a grandmother, she has lived long enough to know right from wrong and SEE the wrong and destruction BEFORE your talk. I know, We are 80+year old great grandparents who have been following the trail of destruction since the early 80’s when things just weren’t adding up! The destructive forces WANT us to shut up! They WANT us to just obey and abide like good little sheeple, much easier to take over a quiet flock than one who senses danger and prepares. The Jews of the 30-40’s went to their deaths praying quietly to God. I very much doubt this generation would because they LEARNED! God helps them who help themselves, always beside us and for us but we have a responsibility too,it’s just plain, simple truth! So, do what you think best but as for us, we have a great respect for you and your calling out of evil when you see it. Your idea of studying on a solution and not the fear is excellent. We have our creator on our side.💖👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    I meet millions who tell me that they feel demoralized by the decay around us
    Where is the hope?
    The hope that each of us have
    Is not in who governs us or what laws are passed or
    Or what great things that we do as a nation
    Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people

    I believe that you honestly wanted to warn others and that is laudable. The hardest part of being a Christian is living under the attack of our enemy that we might sit next to is often a church member. I don’t think we should just attack spiritual leaders since that is dangerous ground to stand on. Join, keep your eyes often and follow God’s voice.

      So-called spiritual leaders like my previous pastor who is a narcissistic abuser who would throw entire families out of the church for simply disagreeing with him need to be at least shamed for their garbage behavior. Some of the worst people I’ve met are pastors, very hard to find a genuine one.

    John, I don't often comment on UA-cam but your previous video and this one compelled me. First, there is power in truth and you were shown a truth that many of us have seen and have realized for some time now. I've been watching events over the last several years and we went through a few similar issues on these very topics. My wife and I watched you're last video together, you weren't off the mark and were spot on. You've received wisdom from others so I humbly offer this having had similar discussions early on, guide her into things gently and lovingly showing her what you see ahead and how you look to prepare for what's to come, physically and spiritually. As the spiritual leader of your family take a deep breath and know where Mercedes and others are in their faith journey and respect that and temper it as God directs you. That said, if God truly calls you to share what is on your heart do so and ensure Mercedes understands you are doing so from a place of love of God as well as her and the family. As men, we see the world for what it is as God wired us to see it. We each have a role (Eph 5:22-33) and Mercedes seems to be navigating that but does not appear to be and by her admission not as far along in her journey.....focus on that and God will move both of you to a place of understanding and mutual respect for the road ahead. One thing both my wife and I said after the end of your last video was that you are both working on the same issue at hand from different points of view....Mercedes stated she wants focus on homesteading and preparing for hard times ahead (as do you), you however see the spiritual side of the battle that lies ahead and the real reason to prepare in addition to the physical. The 40 days of Hope and Love challenge is definitely something my wife and I will be taking a look at and it looks to be very beneficial. In the end God's Will, will be done and Scripture lays out what is to come, that may or may not be now but we will definitely face trials and tribulations. I for one have never felt closer to the End Times and prophecies and descriptions as today. As Christians we need to acknowledge the reality of what He has laid out as it is all part of His glorious plan. Until that day we do what we were commissioned to do, Love God, love our neighbors, and make disciples of all the nations. As to other Christians that may have judged you James 4:11-12 may be worth re-reading. God Bless both of you and know you are not alone, nor wrong in what you put forth, just trust in the Lord that His will be done as He moves us and take solace in His promise in Isaiah 35. Mercedes, stay strong and know that we are not called to be perfect and we serve a loving God. I pray that you and your family find the same strength and courage and trust in Him that mine has found in facing these times.

Please Please doo not stop spreading this info. What your wife needs to understand is that there is no hope or good news without Jesus. He is the hope, he is the answer, he is the only solution. By listening to the Holy Spirit you are giving people hope. God Bless.

She is a baby Christian and I am a strong,long time Christian. I’ve been trying to get her to realize that you cannot pound the truth into someone no matter how noble your intent! When I stay with her for a week or more, I finally, in a nice way tell her to let it go and trust our Lord, because in the end, Christ wins!❤️

    Stormtrooper here. Another great video of transparency. There are two things I am thinking about and wish to share with humility. First, John, your "fire" is awesome. You have expressed over the last couple of Blind Faith. This Blind Faith is often lost on mature Christians in many ways because others have shunned the behavior. What I like in your Blind Faith is the humility expressed when the fire gets unruly. Fortunately, you have Mercedes in that help. However, do not let Mercedes' fear of Too Much God deter you. God will use the Holy Spirit to control that unruly flame, as these videos clearly show. Second, Mercedes, be careful! As there are biblical examples showing the power of Blind Faith, there are others with examples of what happens when one tries to hold God back. As you mentioned here, something in John has/is changed/ing. We've heard it over and over again, "God works in mysterious ways". Your relationship is "mysterious" and IMHO, the Holy Spirit has much to do about it. Mercedes, You hold this man in the crosshairs of his life, do not try to control it. Embrace it! I promise you, you will be pleased. In case this sounds familiar, I am saying this in the spirit of Al Pacino while addressing the Baird School in a movie I can not remember the name of. God Bless you both.

    I am a historian who has been studying WWII for decades now. I just finished a book about some of the many people who have been chosen to be "Righteous Among the Nations." Obviously, WWII was a very dark time, but this book, which is full of short stories about everyday people who helped the Jews at their own peril, was absolutely beautiful. Some of these stories brought tears to my eyes more than once. Without Hope, there is nothing.

    No need to fall on your sword, John. The world is in turmoil today and we all evaluate our current space with our past. The older one gets, the more "past" we have as our yardstick. I personally feel the world is falling apart. At 66, I have a lot to compare. Bottom line: today is not the world I grew up in. For me, it's about losing our liberties as Americans. We see it everyday. Parents who can't speak up at school board meetings. Presumption of guilt until proven innocent. Having money in your pocket somehow translates into being a criminal. Taking cash out of your bank account is challenged. Surveillance by government across every aspect of our lives. And the list goes on. Being circumspect is being human. Stand your watch and carry on!

    This video and the "scare" video are my first 2 I have watched of your channel. It personally opened my eyes and I'm glad you posted that video cuz America does need to wake up the church needs to wake up, there is so much going on behind the scenes that we don't know and I thank God that he is using people to reveal these truths that are coming to light. Now, for the wife, believers are not perfect that's why we need a Savior, so don't say you don't want it to be a God channel when God has to use whomever He can to get His messege out, so you may want to let God lead you instead of being concerned with backlash worldly comments. If people criticize or judge you then they are not of God anyways and they need to look at the speck in their own eye. I am going to subscribe because I enjoyed the 2 videos I've seen because I do like that you 2 are real and not hiding your struggles, opinions, and concerns with what evils are attempting to control the narrative but Thank God He is in control and He is victorious and we as believers get to share in that HOPE! AMEN

    You have an absolute right to use your platform to get the word out about your faith and 501c3 churches. Real believers are persecuted for their beliefs and how they express themselves. Continue to express yourself in the way the Holy Spirit directs you. The ability you have to listen to others and take advice is also very admirable. Continue on with your ministry and your growth with your family. God bless you both!

    John and Mercedes, i’m basically in the same position as you two are. My wife and I love each other very much, we’ve been married for 42 years, but I tend to take a more serious approach to the world around us. She is serious about the world as well, but she doesn’t want to hear the negative things all the time even though the negative things are growing more common. As a gospel singer I try to remain upbeat and cheerful when I am singing but in my quiet time I do tend to become very upset at the way the world is becoming. Not for me so much, but for my grandkids and for my children. They are the ones that are going to have to go through this world that is to become. I’m 62 now, I have more years behind me then I have a head and I know that I may never see some of these bad things come to fruition but all the same I know my kids and my grandkids will have to go through these things so it’s difficult not to become upset.
