  1. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
    "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  2. Anyone bothering Newsom any why he insists on closing the fire fighter training for the fire fighters that usually fight these types of fires? Every tree lost is all Newsom’s fault.

  3. Instead of using water to put out fires, fire engines and firefighters must spray CLAY MORTAR!!! It is a natural product and clay mortar keeps water and moister on the ground and on trees and vegetation for a long time. Plain water evaporates reallly fast or seeps into the ground fast! Also clay mortar stops flow of oxygen on the applied area and fire automatically puts out itself!!! Please, spread this message!

  4. I DEFINITELY agree IF the FED GOVERNMENT can send BILLIONS of dollars to Ukraine it could DEFINITELY SPEND 1 billion or several MILLION to preserve the beaitiful Sequoias. They are A NATL. TREASURE even if a STATE PARK. Come On.. .

  5. Million dollar park. 20 dollar sprinkles

  6. If we stopped letting the Corporate Global Elites manipulate our weather to support their CO2 lies for global depopulation, maybe this all would stop.

  7. I have 0 % faith that there’s anyone in California capable of making a right decision on anything

  8. "This is the hottest weather in three thousand years". Really? You people can't forecast rain tomorrow accurately, we're supposed to believe you know all the weather (and fires) those trees have endured over three thousand years?

  9. Not trying to downplay the situation at all. But giant sequoias need wild fires in their life cycle in order to reproduce and eliminate other species of trees competing for resources.

  10. there is a time for weeping, and there is a time for wailing. there is a time for moaning, and there is a time for groaning. there is a time for hunting, and there is a time for fishing on park property. there is not a time for aunt sars to flick her still lit cigarette butt into the half empty can of cousin trudeaus, nor is there a time for disgruntled munchkins guilty of more than arson to try and extort nature, or park services, for their own greedy underground criminal purposes.

  11. I think it’s ridiculous to think anyone can save trees from fire. Trees are SUPPOSED to burn. Yes they are ancient but they aren’t immortal. How do you know you aren’t just making the situation worse by not letting nature do its job?

  12. Why isn’t there a country wide Governmental effort going on to save those trees, there should be planes all over the place. 🙏🙏🙏

  13. You do realize that even if the tree was blackened on the outside, it wouldn't kill it.

  14. Or you could I don't know, maybe let nature take its course.

  15. How many hundreds, maybe more; how many do you think these monumental living things have seen? Fires I mean. I think theyll be ok.

  16. What about wrapping the trees in plastic ?

  17. Maybe big foot will finally come out from hiding

  18. That explains all the Samsquanch sightings recently

  19. I AM A TIME TRAVELER…
    PROOF: These trees are in the way of a major hyperloop superhighway and hence they need to be deforested and their petrified wood used for construction

  20. I thought the fires were a reason these trees survived for so long…

  21. So sad. I hope they are able to contain this fire soon.

  22. Have Arizona pipe some of their water in, they’re selling their water to Middle Eastern countries to grow food in Arizona for them!

  23. Why are they not investigating who starts these fires..

  24. And its not even fire season yet 🤡

  25. Damnit… I hope they successfully protect that area. Wish I could help. If I were rich I'd send those firefighting planes and choppers, something.

  26. Is that water system only spraying 2x a week per CA water regulation? 😂

  27. Hai anna iam Nagendar Anna na age 42 tembukurr.beauty qualification m.l.t medical lab techniciana ,Srpt lo jobs unte cheppagalaru anna.with govt Jobs

  28. Stop lying, you cant do anything to protect a tree that survives fires. The tree will be there long after we're gone.

  29. LP reacted d ryt way, she is mynicepissyy.monster need of over drama, or over consider ations. She don't deserve *considerationsd. Lp പറഞ്ഞ പോലെ,, ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയല്ലേ ഉള്ളു, പഠിക്കട്ടെ.

  30. A little forestry and even the Sequoias would be fine. Just some good old fashioned management would do the trick. It is not rocket science!!! But then also, environmental nut jobs have been known to start a few of em.
