In the early morning hours of October 13, 2024, I heard, “I AM the October surprise.”
I was not surprised to hear this announcement by God. “October surprise,” had been ‘whispered’ to me several times during the past few weeks. Also, the I AM messages, in which God (I AM) announced that his intervention was needed, had been posted the previous day. He said, “I AM the I AM that you and all my children have been praying to intervene,” and “I AM the I AM who is going to be the guide to renewed health for America.”
It was a pleasant surprise that the announcement would be made on the 13th day of the month of October. My husband’s sister was born on Friday, the 13th, and from that day forward, 13 has been a red-letter number in the family. When God’s announcement came on October 13th, it seemed to me to be a divine signal that this was a red-letter day.
On television, radio, in conversations, common questions regarding the election were asked and discussed, “Will there be an October surprise? If so, what will it be and will it influence the election?”
I AM (God) had been hearing those questions and on Sunday, October 13, 2024, he was prepared – God is always prepared – to answer those questions. Of course, there would be an October surprise as announced by God to his disciple messenger. It would be delivery of God’s messages to the world. Whether it would influence the election depended on the number of hearts changed in a timely manner.
God’s plan is to save souls, but since politics and religion, church and state have become so intertwined, he has no choice but to address matters that may seem political to man that are religious to God.
A few, of many, examples of man’s mixing religion and politics, church and state where God says he must intervene in order to save souls – individually and the soul of the nation follow:
IMMIGRATION:
Immigration has become a hot topic issue. It is being used to try to sway voters – it is a fair topic to be discussed and one that needs to be discussed to solve the problems, but truth must be told. Conspiracy theories abound in rallies, debates, on X, on FOX and conservative news outlets: “Haitian immigrants are causing chaos in Springfield,” and “Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country,” and posts blaming “Haitian migration for affecting local healthcare provision, education and other issues.” (Reuters ‘Republicans pushing ‘dangerous’ Haitian conspiracy theory, White House says’ by Trevor Hunnicutt and Doina Chiacu). Similar comments have been made and supported by many Republicans while some GOP officials try to relay the truth: (PEOPLE: ‘Donald Trump Says He’ll Kick Out Legal Haitian Migrants if Elected, as GOP Ohio Officials Defend New Neighbors by Marina Watts), (Alternet ‘Need a Haitian hunting license’ MAGA death threat to Springfield officials publicly released’ by Alex Henderson) Forbes, US News, Yahoo!, TIME, CNN, NBC, VOX, The Washington Post also carried stories about the harm being caused by the lies told and the threats made. They also name the ones – both Republicans and Democrats – who are trying to get the truths of the situations told.
Haitians aren’t the only immigrants being targeted. False claims of Venezuelan gangs in Aurora, Colorado are being spread as an election strategy. (The Hill: ‘Vance, ABC host spar over claims of Venezuelan gang in Colorado by Lauren Irwin), (ABC News: ‘Vance stands by Trump’s false claims Venezuelan gangs have invaded Aurora, Colorado), (CNN ‘Sounds like Nazi rhetoric’: Brian Stelter reacts to Trump’s comments about Aurora, Colorado), (CPR News: In speech, Trump paints violent picture of immigration in Colorado, says he’ll call his mass deportation efforts ‘Operation Aurora’ by Bente Birkeland and Kiara DeMare)
All non-European white immigrants have been under attack, especially now that racism and white supremacy have taken hold and is influencing votes. Ones with ears open to truths have heard: I’m going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it. Mexico is sending their worst people – drug dealers, rapists, criminals – they are not our friends. Surveillance is needed on Muslims, Syrians.
Actions speak louder than words. The following political words and actions caused harm: Children were separated at the border, many never to see their parents again. Razor wire ordered in place at the Texas/Mexico border has resulted in deaths and injuries. Inhumane heat-related practices were used against asylum seekers, including pregnant women and children. Following the orders of their ‘leader’, Republicans killed bipartisan efforts to help with immigration problems.
God’s views on immigration: To those who call themselves church – Read Ephesians 2: 12 – 20 to find that Jesus taught love and acceptance. Hebrews 13: 1 -2 and 1 Peter 4: 9 say to offer hospitality to strangers, to everyone. Leviticus 25: 35 – 38 says to help the strangers or sojourners who are poor or have fallen out of touch with you. And never forget the words of Matthew 25: 35 – words that everyone should want to hear at judgment time – ‘I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, thirsty and you gave me something to drink, a stranger and you took me in’.
God says, “Wake up, America. Reconcile. There is room for reconciliation on everything, including immigration. Act with a Christian heart. You have a choice at voting time – vote with a Christian heart.” Know this: If you are of color of any shade, you are a target. If you are of a religion other than Christian, you are a target. If you call yourself Christian, but you are not a Christian nationalist, you are a target. If you are a Democrat or a ‘RINO’, you are a target. God adds, “No one is safe from being targeted — all you must do is step out of the line the tyrants have drawn, even if by less than the width of a thread, you will be targeted, labeled an enemy, and will receive wrath’s punishment. No matter your color, no matter your religion or lack of it, all should share in the truth that we are better off if we work together and are civil to one another – in other words, we should all work together and treat each other as we wish to be treated. Love one another as I love you is a goal to work toward in life. When I say vote with a Christian heart, I mean to vote for right over wrong, good over evil, for the good of all not the good of the few and lean a little to the left of center politically, as the heart is a little to the left of center, so that reconciliation may be accomplished.”
He adds, “It was the Pharisees, the ones who followed the law to the letter, the ones who thought themselves the most moral, the most religious, the far right who were the enemies of the ways of Jesus. It the Pharisee-like, the ones who have a law for every action and they have harsh judgment for the ones they deem to be ‘law breakers’, the ones who think of themselves as the most religious, most moral, the ones who are far right who are the followers of man’s ways and spurn my ways.” Then he asks two question which he answers, “Do I love these Pharisee-like followers of man’s ways and spurners of my ways? Of course, I do – they are my children. Do I want them to change their ways to my ways? Of course, I do. Just as Jesus was on a soul-saving mission, so I am on a soul-saving mission. Just as Jesus wanted the Pharisees to be among the ones who had a change of heart and wanted to be part of ‘church’ as it was meant to be, so I want today’s Pharisee-likes to be among the ones who make the necessary ‘heart’ changes required to save souls. I want them to be ‘church’ as it is meant to be.”
NOTE: If you have never heard about the enemies of Jesus, search for Scriptures about Pharisees questioning Jesus. Matthew, Mark, and Luke provide many examples.
Then search for scriptures that show Jesus warns against the teachings of the Pharisees.
For several years, God has been pointing out to me, a disciple messenger, that there are Pharisee-like people causing harm against his ways among us today. After his giving me the above, out of curiosity to see if anyone else recognized Pharisees today, I searched for ‘Are there Pharisees today’. One offering that was a good fit and I would suggest you search for and read is from Christianity.com ‘What Does a Modern-Day Pharisee Look Like? By Greg Grandchamp, published July 13, 2021.
Another one that caught this disciple’s eye was from PREACH IT TEACH IT ‘The Top Ten Things Pharisees Say Now by Carey Nieuwhof, September 7, 2024. After reading these, compare them to some of the concerns God and I share – see the blog entry ‘Concerns of 2014 Compared to Concerns of 2024.
After reading these, you should see that it is the Pharisee-like people of today, the far right leaning that Jesus called ‘hypocrites’ who are causing many of the concerns. They are all around. Perhaps you have heard from them some of the following statements — “I don’t want to work with anyone outside my church because those people aren’t Christian, ‘ or ‘I’m not going to help the lazy parents with their children, they could get a job and work like I did,” or “I’m glad they quit our church – they are too liberal for us,” or “We can’t have an unwed mother, or a gay person continue to be a part of us – they are sinners and if we accepted them, that would project the wrong image of church,” or “I don’t give money to the food pantries – people who go there have cell phones, some drive nice cars – they are freeloaders,” or “we have our own school/and or encourage homeschooling so we can teach what we want our kids to learn and protect them having to deal with children who don’t look like them and have parents who don’t believe like we do,” or “we are ready to take up arms against anyone who doesn’t support our ways and our chosen leaders,” or “we have to elect good Christian men who share our values to serve in every level of government,” or “I only listen to Christian and conservation media outlets, they tell the truth and all others, especially the mainstream media, are liars putting out fake news,” and on and on these could go. Use these to evaluate your own words and actions – be honest with yourself for that’s the way God will judge you. If you find you aren’t proud of yourself, establish a true relationship with God. He’s the one who can wash you white as snow. He’s a saver of souls.
God sends a message to his dear child, Pope Francis: “You are right in saying it is wrong to reject migrants. You are right in saying that fear and prejudices keep us from being the neighbors all are called to be – offering hospitality, justice, and mercy – and keep us from believing truths. You are right to encourage love and compassion for all creation, especially the most vulnerable. Know this: The migrants seeking refuge are among the most vulnerable. You are right in saying unity is my will and that unity in offering hospitality is a sign of the love of God. ”
Note: When I heard from God the message to Pope Francis, I did not doubt that God knew what Pope Francis had said – God hears all, sees all, knows all–rather I knew it would need confirmation, because those reading this will have a hard time believing. This I found for verification: Snopes fact check by Nur Ibrahim ‘Pope Francis Said Rejecting Migrants Is a ‘Grave Sin’; America the Jesuit Review by Gerard O’Connell ‘Pope Francis calls on all Christians to show hospitality to each other – and to migrants.’; Catholic Philly by Justin McLellan, Catholic News Service 8/12/24, ‘Prejudices Obstruct True Faith, Pope Says’; Vatican News by Linda Bordoni ‘Pope at Angelus: ‘Overcome prejudice and get involved in the lives of others’
Care of the earth and all creation:
Care of the earth and its creatures is another topic that has become a political issue. It has been labeled Climate Change/Global Warming – God says it does not matter the label, it is Biblical. Those who say that man has no responsibility for harm done are disregarding the Biblical charge from God to take care of the earth and every living thing that moves on the earth (Genesis 1: 28) and do not pollute the land (Leviticus 25: 23 – 24) – blood pollutes. We are reminded over and over of the need for stewardship (1 Corinthians 4: 2, 2 Corinthians 9: 6) and are given reminders of what will happen if we fail in our responsibilities to care for all of creation (Isaiah 24: 4 – 6, Revelation 11: 18), and what will happen if we accept our responsibilities to care for all of creation (Isaiah 33: 15 – 16).
The deniers say that God controls the climate and man’s actions do not affect it. Psalm 24: 1 does assign ownership of the earth and everything in it to the Lord, but that does not negate our responsibility to care for the earth. To love the Lord is to love and care for his creation as we are charged to do. No excuses should be offered (Romans 1: 20), for God does not accept excuses.
God says: “ There is room for reconciliation on this topic. Wake up, America. Reconcile. Act with a Christian heart. You have a choice at voting time: You can vote for ones who want our earth saved and will do everything possible to save God’s creation or you can continue voting for the deniers, the ones who refuse to accept the responsibility for care of the earth. You can vote for ones seeking reconciliation or ones who see no need to reconcile. I will not force you to vote one way, but I will ask that you vote with a Christian heart.”
God speaks to his child Pope Francis: “You are right to call out the failure of humanity to care for the earth and the inhabitants of the earth. You are right to challenge all my children to help care for my creation.” Verification: America the Jesuit Review by Carol Glatz – Catholic News Service – April 22, 2020, ‘On 50th anniversary of Earth Day, Pope Francis calls for ‘ecological conversion’.
Abortion:
Another hot topic at this election time is abortion. Some are so against abortion – considered by them as murder — that it is drawing them to vote for ones who kill in many other ways – kill with guns, kill by refusal to follow life-saving health guidelines, kill souls with their lies and conspiracy theories, kill others by encouraging wrathful revenge, killing of mothers who are having life-threatening complications from pregnancy who could be saved by a procedure called abortion.
God says, “There is room for reconciliation about abortion. Wake up, America. Reconcile. Act with a Christian heart. Because of Supreme Court ruling regarding abortion, because of actions taken against abortion in Republican-run states, because of a no-compromise stance taken by many religious leaders and by faith communities, many may feel you have no choice. You have a choice at voting time: You can vote for ones who are willing to work for compromise on guns, health guidelines, abortion, and other life-or-death-causing matters or you can vote for ones who refuse to compromise, even to save lives. In their minds, to give in would mean to hurt their chances to continue their rule over others and would give power to the ones who would work for satisfactory reconciliations – the ones considered ‘evil’ by those who refuse to reconcile. Make the choice that is in line with Christian values as shown in the Bible – do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Vote with a Christian heart.”
God sends a message to his dear child, Pope FrancIs: “You are right to encourage life-saving vaccinations and gun control measures and sale and use of guns that take lives. You are Pro-Life and that is good. I am Pro-Life because death ends any chance for souls to be saved. However, I am also Pro-Choice. My children have a right to make a choice to accept or reject life-saving measures, whether it be vaccinations or abortion measures needed to save the mother’s life. Know this: sometimes a procedure which has a real chance of being labeled ‘abortion’ according to laws passed in many states is the procedure that has a real chance of saving the life of both mother and child. Strict adherence to laws that give no chance for reconciliation cause deaths.”
Public education, health care:
Even though public education and health care are not hot topic items in the election, they should be. They have been under attack for years.
School choice is being pushed, along with vouchers for those wishing to attend private and parochial schools – be aware that white supremacists have schools that are called ‘religious’ – often called academies, and for those choosing homeschooling. Money from public school funds is being redistributed to cover all the aforenamed ways, thus public schools are not adequately funded. All this redistribution of funds is causing shortfalls. Know this: Limited funds can just be divided so many ways before the point is reached when all fail. Failure of education would mean the dumbing down of America.
Lack of funding is not the only problem facing public education. Not wanting to associate with those ‘not like us’ has played a key role in the division. Segregation according to religious beliefs, segregation according to skin color, segregation according to wealth, segregation according to status – these and more segregation tactics have been used and are still being used as means of segregating, separating us from them. Brown v. Board of Education was meant to end segregation; however, people bent on dividing us from them have found ways to segregate. Know this: segregation still exists and is still causing harm.
Segregation harms education.
God says, “To wish for self what you do not wish for others goes against what you are asked to do in Matthew 7: 12 – do to others as you would like them do to you. To make it even more personal, do to others as though you are the others.” He added, “There are two commandments that are asked of you —love me with all your heart, soul, and mind and love your neighbors (others) as you love yourself — Matthew 22: 36 – 40. Segregation and lack of funding for public schools are tactics that go against the do to others as you want them do to you and love others as you love yourself. Breaking these commandments and showing love of self over others are not acceptable with me.”
To those with deep pockets who are using their money to do harm to education and to health care and to those lawmakers who are causing harm, God says, “I hear all, I see all. Your harmful ways have not escaped me. A change of heart is needed, sooner rather than later is best.”
“Those same ones with deep pockets and the same lawmakers have worked to do harm to health care. Seeking affordable health insurance for all, encouraging vaccinations, following health guidelines, supporting programs that provide food and health care for the most vulnerable have been harmed by your actions and inactions. You have been guilty of and are still guilty of criticizing and promoting lies and conspiracy theories about those who have worked for positives.”
Examples of targets: Attacks on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), falsely saying vaccines cause autism, sickness, and death while also promoting replacements that would actually cause sickness and/or death if followed, cutting Medicaid rolls, cutting funds for and raising qualification requirements for food assistance programs (Take time to search the following –TIME: The Republican War on Food Programs, Dec. 22, 2023; AP News 14 GOP-led states have turned down federal money to feed low-income families with school-age children, February 16, 2024; The Hill “These 15 GOP-led states are rejecting summer food aid for children, January 10, 2024).
This disciple messenger has an example of ones who cut off their noses to spite their faces’. My husband and I delivered meals on wheels many times through the years. It was rewarding to know that we were helping provide food for many who would have gone hungry if it had not been for that program. At the same time, I have shed tears of sadness for some of these. Example, we had ones who were pretty much homebound. They received extra meals for weekends when the food was not delivered. Their living conditions showed that they did not have much money. Many we knew to be on Medicaid and the meals furnished with no payment expected. They were often the ones who were the most demanding or the ones who ignored us delivery people completely. FOX news was on so loud that it could be heard at least half a block away. TRUMP and VOTE TRUMP stickers were stuck to the side of the house, TRUMP flags were flying. At some places Confederate flags covered the windows. When we entered, they motioned where to place the food – they were too busy clinging to every word on the TV. No conversation took place, no response to our greeting, no thank yous. Our tears were because of their devotion to ones whose goal it was to take away the very things they needed and on which they depended – food and health care. They were bent on cutting off their noses to spite their faces and that was sad. They were not happy – how could they be filling their ears and minds with messages that stirred up hate and fear. They were cutting themselves off from learning the truths. Isolation plus the filling ears with untruths causes fear and sadness.
God says, “There is room for reconciliation on education and on health care. Improvement is needed to adequately meet needs in these areas. Finding ways to improve and ways to reconcile are must-do actions. You have a choice at voting time. Vote for the ones who have worked for affordable health care, for feeding the vulnerable, for vaccinations and other protections of health and vote against those – at all levels – who have caused harm. Vote for the ones who have worked to improve public education and have given support in every way. Vote against those – at all levels – who have used segregation tactics, have fought for their share of money meant for public education to boost themselves and provide for self what is not wished for others. Speak and act with a Christian heart. Vote with a Christian heart.”
Response to natural disasters
Lies, conspiracy theories, misinformation have made the response to the recent hurricanes an issue in the election. Just as lies, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about migrants have caused threats to be made, so threats have been made against those helping bring relief to the areas hit by hurricanes.
The same people who made and caused the spread of migrant misinformation are the same ones who made and caused the spread of hurricane relief misinformation.
God says: “Causing harm, causing division is not all right with me. I hear all, see all, know all. I am weeping over seeing my children repeat misinformation. When I saw FACEBOOK posts that said Harris and Biden were failing in the response to the disasters caused by the recent hurricanes, stole FEMA money to help illegal migrants, while former president Trump was giving millions of his own money to provide aid, I wept. I wept even more when I learned that this kind of misinformation was spreading like wildfire and among those spreading the misinformation were ones who call themselves ‘church’ and think of themselves as the ones with morals. I wept for the ones willing to do harm to FEMA workers and I wept for the ones toward whom harm was directed. I am asking that each of you find the truths for yourselves. Use reputable sources for gathering the truths. May truths guide your words and actions. May truths release you from the ties that have you in bondage to sinful ways. May you wake up sooner rather than later.”

Economy:
The economy is important to consider when trying to decide for whom to vote.
Political signs that say, “Take America back” are displayed here, there, and everywhere, it seems. “God says that it is forward, not backward that we should look. Looking back shows us how we got into darkness. Look to the future, not the past.”
A suggestion: Ask, “Was I better off 4 years ago than I am now?’ HINT: You weren’t. (4 years ago — October, 2020 — there were no available Covid-19 vaccines and the death toll had surpassed 100,000 – with nearly everyone experiencing loss of family, friends, acquaintances – the Federal Government had a slow response to Covid –the unemployment rate skyrocketed, when the vaccine became available those who should have been encouraging getting them instead spread misinformation and conspiracy theories about deaths and sickness caused by the vaccines, other, non-approved, suggestions were made – hydroxychloroquine, perhaps explore disinfectants and light internally –, blame for poor response transferred to Democrats resulting in death threats being made (this is a case among many of the innocent becoming the guilty and the guilty becoming the innocent), calls of ‘Lock them up’ were made with armed militia responding, necessities came to be in short supply, fewer people were insured, people were filled with fear.)
Suggestion: Face the truths: Recovery has been slow and steady as should be expected because things were so bad 4 years ago it takes a long time and help from everyone to pull out of the deep hole of darkness and sadness we were in 4 years ago. Positives of now: Unemployment rate low, stock market at record high, record GDP growth, more people are insured, inflation is predicted to go down. There should be hope for the future but lies, conspiracy theories, and misinformation continue to cause fears.
Ask: “Will I be better off under Trump’s economic policy or under a Harris economic policy?” You don’t have to wonder what the answer is, it is provided to us: npr, October 7, 2024, by Luke Garrett ‘Trump’s plan would add $4 trillion more to U. S. debt compared to Harris’, analysis says, AP by Josh Boak, October 7, 2024, ‘New analysis, national debt could increase under Harris, would surge under Trump, The Wall Street Journal by Paul Kiernan, Anthony DeBarros, 10/14/24, ‘Economists Say Inflation, Deficits Will Be Higher Under Trump Than Harris.

God to Pope: What I need you to reconsider is your statement to vote for the lesser of two evils. There is room for reconciliation on immigration and abortion. Reconciliation on immigration and abortion has been sought by one party and rejected by the other. Immigration and abortion are not the only issues to consider in voting.
I have made my stance clear – ‘My child, Donald John Trump’, does not need votes. He needs help.’ I have encouraged voters to vote with a Christian heart – one that is politically left leaning and more willing to reconcile differences for the good of all. I have named wrath, gluttony, sloth, greed, pride, lust, envy as sins to watch for when making the decision for whom to vote. I have named those who exclude, lie, cheat, steal, spread conspiracy theories, promote division, and encourage violence to gain power as unfit for office. I have said that those who ignore truths, believe, and/or dismiss conspiracy theories and lies, and support the lower case i ams are guilty of the same sins committed by the ones they support. This is Biblical: James 4: 17 says knowing what is right but failing to do right, is a sin. Ephesians 5: 11 is a guide in what to do with deeds of darkness – ‘expose them’. After reading my truths, everyone with their eyes open should know what is right. I ask, “Wake up, America. Reconcile. Then vote with a Christian heart.”
KNOW THIS: God’s goal is not political. It is to Biblical. It will only seem political to those who have made politics their religion. It is out of love for his children that God has chosen to intervene. His goal: Save souls of his children – that’s all of us – and to save the soul of the nation. His plan is to wake up America and promote reconciliation. If successful, salvation will be the result.
