The Myth of 100% Utilization: The Neuroscience of Productive Teams

waste''nemzzz type beat 143

              
- Discourse on leftist comedian that got cancelled for inflammatory comments after assassination. A nation should be solid behind it's govt. leaders, not making a joke of them. Foundations get destroyed. Division dominates. America is independent of monarchy. Harvard was established to teach the Word of God. Our Founders depended on the living God. Become a good steward by having been a bad one. We also waste. Our neighbor is an irritation. We should labor for them. We must love our neighbor to love God. 
- Apostles were an example and demonstration for us. Struggled for us. 
- We'll have a blackout, but do we waste power? Adapters draw power when not in use. 
-Info is a weaponized commodity. 
- Someone else will abruptly leave with huge influence. Family murders will also increase. 
- Why people that work hard fall- "But" people. Different people at higher levels. "Yes" people. Innovation is lost. Delusion begins. Make demands. Remedy is people being around people like you. 
- New jobs for folks at COT. Make sure your heart is in any job you accept for the sake of others. 
- We've past temp. increase for no return. Bugs will increase. Can put barriers of crushed seashell around outside perimeters of homes. 
- Christianity will become hated. Steer clear of unrighteousness. Violent retaliation will come. 50% of Americans have murder in their hearts... No filters or restraints. Waiting for opportunity. Trouble ahead. 
- 8 bodies into solar system now. Atmospheric breaches are constant. Paranormal events. 
- Mark of the beast - will deal with power, ability to work, etc. Renouncing sovereignty. Some are using silver for dollars now. 
-Date setters have been disappointed and hardened. We wouldn't prepare if we knew when He was returning until the 11th hour. We'd happily sin til the end. The time God gives us is just enough time. 
- 3 days of darkness- No credence. 
-Dream recap- People asking Mike from around the world (before he got this nickname) how long darkness will last. Answer: 37 days. There was a huge trumpet blast.
- Dream of PP before they met. Black things from Heavens knocking people out of their bodies and entering them themselves. People were taking tramadol. Michael was in their bodies. People going back for meds or money, etc were lost. Not evil people, just not committed. PP comes around corner as sun was going down. 
- Time in revelation- 30 min. will be an observed time. Events matter, not time. 
- Dead in Christ rise first- Many died before Christ. 
- Words of David are words of Christ.
- Speaking in tongues- All hear in their own native tongue. Must be an interpreter. It's a true spiritual gift. 
- Idioms are phrases of the day in which they're written with unique meaning. "1 hour with the beast".
