#2 How to Defeat Unrelenting Human Foes (2)

Continuation:

Example 2: Pharaoh of Egypt:

Bible Base: Exodus 14:9-11

After Pharaoh experienced the final plague that ended in the deaths of firstborns of man and beast, Pharaoh finally agreed to let God’s people go.

On second thoughts, Pharaoh decided it was not a good idea to let them go. So, “…The Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army…” Exodus 14:9 KJV.

I encourage you to read the remaining verses in order to understand how unrelenting Pharaoh and his army were.( Read Exodus 14:1-30)

Even after experiencing how defensive God can be for His people, He still pursued them into the red sea, and perished there with his army .

The sea which was the pathway of deliverance for the Israelites became the pit of destruction of their unrelenting foes.

*Today, I declare that the mercy of God that brought you deliverance from oppression will become the vehicle for the destruction of all your unrelenting foes in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. (Read Exodus 14:14).

It is important to keep in view that one of the reasons God took out a generation of Israelites in the wilderness, was because they were unrelenting in their disobedience!

In addition, they were rebellious, stiff-necked, hardhearted, and unteachable (Read Exodus 32 & Numbers 14)

And God chose rather, to work with the next generation who were flexible and teachable, and whose hearts were yielded to Him ( Read Exodus chapters 32 & Numbers 14)

As we are standing against unrelenting human foes, dont be an unrelenting human foe as well.

Search yourself, and repent if you discover that there are people you are pursuing relentlessly.

Stop being that wicked, rigid, vindictive, unforgiving, uncompromising, and unyielding person.

Your obedience must be complete in order for you to punish disobedience. (Read 2 Corinthians 10:4-6)

Start being the opposite of all the negatives mentioned above. Line up your life with God’s Word and you will see how God will take out those unrelenting human foes.

Our weapon of choice for this warfare is the “Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17)

#PrayerPoints4Today :

1). Read and Apply Psalm 103:1, 3: Praise God for who He is and for the great things HE does in our world.

2).Acknowledge that your sinfulness opened you up for negative spiritual attacks, and remember to forgive all those unrelenting foes.

When you forgive them, you disconnect their hold on you, and your emotional healing and prosperity will commence.

Unforgiveness feeds hatred and empowers the demonic hordes to keep tormenting you.

3). Believe in your heart that God has forgiven you as you have forgiven others (Matthew 6:14).

Believe also that God has cleansed you from All unrighteousness as His Word states in 1 John 1:9.

4). Affirm Psalm 23, by declaring that the Lord God is your Shepherd who provides, prepares, protects, feeds, heals, and comforts you despite all the treacherous and slanderous moves of the enemies.

5) Thank God for helping you overcome all the entrapment of the enemy and for strengthening your faith in Him.

6). Ask God to adjudicate over all the charges the enemy has brought against you, while affirming that as God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus, no one “can lay anything to the charge of God’s elect, for God is for us” (Romans 8:31,33)

7). Confess that you are justified by your faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 2:15-16),and that you are filled and led by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18, Romans 8:14-15), there is therefore now, no condemnation to you for the blood of Jesus Christ has atoned for all your sins and is speaking better things on your behalf (Romans 8:1, Hebrews 9:14,15,24; 12:24)

8) In accordance with Isaiah 54:17, command all the voices of accusations that are speaking against you to remain silent for all eternity.

9). Thank God that you are born again, blood washed and saved from the strife of tongues, for those unrelenting human foes, no longer exists.

10) Declare that God is love, and as He is, so are you in this world: therefore, as love attracts, so shall goodness, favor, appreciation, supporters and favorable circumstances are attracted to you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#1 How to Defeat Unrelenting Human foes (1)

Bible Base: 2 Timothy 3:8-9:

“ …As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was“ 2 Timothy 3:8-9 KJV.

Unrelenting foes are those human agents of darkness who have their minds set on doing wickedness to you.

Although they withstood your every move, and kept failing, they changed tactics.

While pretending to be on your side, they are slandering you to others, and subtly encouraging rebellion against you.

Unrelenting foes are hardhearted, stiff-necked, cruel, uncompromising, unyielding and unforgiving.

Don’t be deceived by how fluently they speak Christianese. They have no respect for God, instead they are focused on themselves and their statuses.

Because they are self-centered and proud, they have faith in themselves and are no part of Christ.

Their major default is the rejection of the goodness of God that leads to repentance. Therefore, “Unrelenting foes” are very vindictive, manipulative, and destructive.

There are so many on social media platforms pretending to be Christians, whereas, they are subtly spreading dissensions and lies against people who are on a mission for God.

Unrelenting foes are known by their fruits not by their languages. Beware! Don’t share in their judgments.

Example 1: Jannes and Jambres. The Two Magicians of Pharaoh: Exodus 7-8:1-19.

Their Actions:

When it was time for the deliverance of God’s people in Egypt, God raised up Moses, and Moses co-opted Aaron to go tell Pharaoh about HIS intentions.

For credibility’s sake, God empowered Moses with His supernatural power, so that Pharaoh and the Egyptians will know that there is an Almighty God, who is more powerful than the Egyptian gods.

But two Egyptian magicians tried to frustrate Moses and Aaron’s mission, by duplicating nearly all the miracles.

According to long standing Jewish tradition, Jannes and Jambres were those two magicians who stood against Moses and Aaron way back in Exodus 7:10-12, 22; 8:19; 12:38; Exodus 32; Numbers 22:22; 25; and who continued relentlessly to do wickedly against them.

Although they could not duplicate the plagues, they made Moses’ mission work more difficult. Their pseudo-miracles interfered with God’s work that He committed to Moses and even delayed the deliverance of God’s people.

Anyone who withstands you is standing against God who you represent.

Hence it is written that,

“To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not“ Lamentations 3:36.

#MyPrayer4you:

Therefore, whoever or whatever is standing against your progress and progression shall be exposed, disgraced and removed from your life.

From today, I declare that no sorceries, divination, enchantments, jinxes, curses or imprecations shall prosper against you.

I proclaim the lifting up of all bans and embargoes that were placed on your finances ministry pages, groups, and relationships.

Shame shall clothe all those who despise, malign, and are acting like Jannes and Jambres in your life and ministry.

*God will add to you reputable people, and remove spoilers from your spheres of influences.

*Your sworn enemies will see God’s elevation of you: for the harder they try, the harder they will fall, in Jesus Christ matchless name.

Continues with Example 2 and Spiritual Warfare prayers.

Be Watchful:

It is so easy to fall into the ongoing deception in our world, if your source of information is the mainstream media, rather than the Word of God.

It is worse for those who are simplistic, gullible, do not check facts, nor have the gift of discernment.

They fall for half truths, exaggerations and outright lies.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for everything.

As a Christian, you must develop working principles from God’s Word, that will undergird you in life. So that you will not fall for lies and deceptions.

It’s a thin line between information and disinformation.

While information centers on giving you facts about something or someone, disinformation deliberately gives you false information in order to confuse or mislead you.

No wonder scripture says- “If it were possible even the Elect will be deceived” (See Matthew 24:24)

Although some posit that the Elect of the above scripture refers to the Israelites, here is another scripture to let you know that the Believers in Christ, are the Elect of God too,

“… he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:4. KJV

This is not the time to hate anyone based on someone else’s opinions of them.

Do not share in the iniquities of others, for you should be holy and blameless before God.

Do not fall for the lies, half-truths, exaggerations, outright lies, and disinformation ongoing in our world.

satan is the father of all liars and is also a murderer from the beginning(John 8:44)

Liars and murderers are siamese twins who are co-joined in the heart.

You will also be in error if you believe someone is a Christian because he/she speaks Christianese!

Remember that even though Christianity is “a-together-faith”; Salvation is a personal race.

You must throw off everything that will hinder your patient-run, towards the Goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ (Read Hebrews 12:1, Philippians 3:14).

Each of us will give a personal account to God of how we lived here on earth.

Therefore, ‘work out your salvation with fear and trembling’ (See Philippians 2: 12-13)

You are responsible to God for your decisions.

” Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.: 2 Peter 3:17 KJV

#MyPrayer4you:

I pray that you will not fall for the lies of the devil and that you will stand strong in faith, be the one to discontinue evil family traditions, and be the salt and light in your world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom! Shalom! From Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #theSpiritualWarrior, November 4th, 2024

#10 Prayer Focus for Today: Grandchildren.

Although all my kids (children) are all grown up, and my grandkids are doing just great, all the evil going on in our world makes my heart flutter.

There is a story about how two nine year old girls bravely saved their six year old neighbor from kidnapping.

I don’t know how they did it, but it was no mean feat. Their act of bravery points to great parents who are bringing them up with a high sense of responsibilities.

God bless and protect those girls, their parents and the rescued little guy, in Jesus’s name.

I don’t know about you, but I do know that I have a responsibility to ensure that my grandkids cannot be touched by the lurking evils in our world.

I refuse to allow the changing values in our world to corrupt our beliefs system, which is rooted in the love and fear of God, and love for family.

I am so inspired by how Timothy’s Grandma Lois, and mom Eunice, effectively played their roles in Timothy’s upbringing.

Lois and Eunice’s influences made Timothy turn out to become a fervent, devout, faithful, and excellent leader.

Read how Paul said it:
“ I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and I am persuaded, now lives in you also” 1 Timothy 1:5

What about you?
What legacy would you leave for the generations following?

Many are transferring addictiveness, sexual immoralities, violence, wickedness, and other evils to their descendants unwittingly.

You can’t afford to be that ignorant grandma or grandpa who allows satan to destroy the bloodline through them!

As the Bible states, ‘Through knowledge shall the just be delivered” See Proverbs 11:9b.

I have prayerfully rearranged the life-course of my descendants.

I started with myself and systematically confronted all the ills in my ancestry, in myself, and in the lives of my children.

That is Spiritual Warfare!

And God reassures that “the seed of the righteous shall be delivered” Proverbs 11:21

As I stood my grounds against all unrighteousness, I intentionally continued to live as God’s righteousness in this life!

Prayerfully fight for the restoration of God’s righteous standards in your bloodline or descendants.

Refuse to hide behind obsolete excuses that your children don’t want you to be a part of their lives, and that you have no access to your grandkids.

Read how Eli, Samuel and
David was divinely disciplined, because they did not discipline/pass on God’s righteous standards to their descendants.

‘If you know the right thing to do and not do it, to you it is sin.’ See James 4:17

Jesus Christ gave Believers “the ministry and word of reconciliation” (See 2 Corinthians 5:17-20).

You can do it.
Be reconciled to your children. Forgive the hurts, so that satan won’t take advantage of the animosities, unforgiveness and bitterness, to keep on tormenting your descendants!

You can rescue your descendants from degeneracy!

Prayer4Today:

Note: I could give you prayer points, but identifying with you will help you pray better.

ABBA Father, thank you for the grace of parenthood.

I hereby forgive all my children for all the times they hurt me.

And I ask also, that you Our Father, work-in all my children, to also forgive me and everyone else who wronged them.

I acknowledge that children are a sacred trust from you to us, and I did not uphold the integrity of your Word to them.

I take responsibility for, and I identify with the sins of all my descendants and ask forgiveness.

Thank you for the forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness.

I hereby dedicate/rededicate my bloodline to you, which includes every one of my human descendants.

I also dedicate/rededicate all those who are joined to my family by marriage, faith or adoption, for they are now my household/family.

I proclaim that we are Holy unto you, and I believe that you shall not allow your Holy ones to be corrupted by the decadence in the world.

In unity of faith, we stand against all forms of sexual immoralities, abuses, violence, lawlessness and other evils.

We hereby revoke/abrogate all satanic rights, and shut down all the access routes of the evil spirits that crossed generational lines: including all the familiar/familial spirits, and all others evil spirits, who are on assignments, or who have attached themselves to our family, due to ancestral covenants and pacts of the generations preceding.

I command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, All the evil spirits that influence, enforce, or enable disobedience, rebellion, addictiveness, gender confusions, identity crises; including mental health disorders, chemical imbalances, mediocrity, poverty mentality, marital strife, suicidal tendencies, hardship, and other evils.

I declare that evils cannot function under any guise or disguise, against anyone who pertains or relates to me and mine.

I am blessed beyond curses and the fruits of my body are all blessed as well.

I declare that God’s Spirit of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and reverence of God, shall be upon, and flow through all my grandchildren.

I proclaim that my grandchildren shall walk in the God ordained pathways of righteousness, justice, empathy, meekness, divine health, excellence, and prosperity.

Supernatural favors and unlimited goodness shall be the testimonies of my descendants.

And Kings shall come to their risings, and whatsoever stands against my grandkids, shall surrender to them.

And Surely, goodness and mercies shall follow all my descendants, all the days of their lives, and they shall uphold the righteous standards of God, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#9 Prayer Focus for Today: Families by biology, marriage, adoption, and faith.

Greetings, people of God. We know that God hears the prayers of His children and abhors that of sinners (See Proverbs 15:8, 28:9, John 9:31, 1 Peter 3:12).

To enjoy these blessings, benefits, and rewards in Christ Jesus, “you must be born again”. (John 3:3) Ask me How!

Recap:
The past days, our Prayer Focuses have been very revelatory.

Earlier, in “The Release of Delayed Blessings “, we received insights of how to make our spiritual blessings in heavenly places work for us in our physical reality.

The next day as we prayed for our “General Wellbeing”, we received clarity of how to sustain the manifested blessings, through commitment to God and our causes; as well as right-living.

One of the take-aways from the prophetic-prayer for Me is that:
‘ not only did God give us Promises, He has given us His exceedingly great and precious promises, See 2 Peter 1:4. Hallelujah.

I encourage you to read up on the past “Prayer Focus“, for they contain a wealth of revelations to help you overcome your challenges Biblically.

Today, as we pray for our families by biology, marriage, adoption, and faith, we shall utilize the blessings, benefits and rewards of our Christian faith.

Hold Fast to these as you pray:
In order to help your faith and to pray appropriately, a few reminders:

a). Blessings: If you are born again, you are blessed already and no longer under curses- Read Galatians 3:13-14.

b). Benefits: healings, deliverance, prosperity, forgiveness etc, are yours already in Christ Jesus – Read Matthew 15:26, Romans 10:13, 2 Corinthians 8:9, 1 John 1:9, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24.

c). Rewards: God rewards diligence – See Hebrews 11:6, Psalm 127:3-5, Luke 6:35.

Prayer4Today:

ABBA Father, we thank you for every member of our families as we present them to you today.

Thank you Father, for the salvation of our household, and your Spirit of excellence that resides in them.

We ask that our families never depart from You the only True and Living God, but instead, that they would grow in intimacy with you.

We ask and receive forgiveness for all bloodline sins, and affirm that in Christ Jesus, we have been blessed beyond curses, delivered from ancestral yokes, and shall not partake of the illnesses in the world.

I call a stop today, to all evil trends and unrighteousness among us, and command all the evil spirits motivating marital troubles, sexual immorality, drug abuse/addictions, violence, strife, jealousy, hardships, poverty mentality, mental health issues, and all other evils, should go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.

I release economic prosperity, the fear and love of God, healthier lifestyle, longevity, and all the benefits of salvation, to all my family members.

I affirm that we are the definition of physical, mental, material, and spiritual blessings.

I declare that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, therefore, the exaltation of righteousness is evident in our lives for anyone to see.

I rededicate our families to You O God, and declare that our generations shall serve You alone, and our bloodlines shall not be corrupted by the lust of the eyes, lost of the flesh, idolatry, occultism or false religious practices.

Thank You ABBA for the outpouring of Your Spirit in our families, and for the grace to be the light and salt in our world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

#8 Prayer Focus for Today: General Wellbeing:

Bible Base: Isaiah 45:19:

“I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.” Isaiah 45:19 KJV

We know how challenging the economy of our nation is. Although prices are increasing, incomes are not increasing.

Unless there is a paradigm shift, many, who depend on the world economy, will face severe hardship.

This is the time for you to take your Christianity to another level. You can cause your paradigm to shift.

How?

a). Clearly define WHO your Source and Resources is, and b). HOW you want to live your life here on earth.

The choices are yours to make. For what you allow or fear, will continue to torment you, but when you confront it, it loses its power of torment! (See Job 3:25, Matthew 18:18)

You can choose to live by being fearful of tomorrow, or you can live by having faith in the God who owns tomorrow.

God did not call us to serve him in vain. He promised a just reward, and the benefits of Salvation belong to us already.

Can you relate with the scripture that says “without faith it is impossible to please Him (God), for the one who comes to Him MUST BELIEVE that: (a) He exists, and (b) He rewards those who diligently seek Him”? See Hebrews 11:6

The Believer in Christ has benefits that distinguish us from non-believers. We are Blessed already and have access to all of God’s resources!

God has not only given us promises, He has given us “His exceedingly great and precious promises” See 2 Peter 1:4

Prayer translates the promises of God into reality, while right-living sustains it.

For a foundational understanding, Read up the #6 Focus For Today: The Release of Delayed Blessings” as well as my other Postings.

#Prayer4Today:

Father God, We are thankful that you are righteous, truthful, trustworthy and can not lie.

We are also grateful for your exceedingly great and precious promises, the real time blessings, benefits and rewards that are available to us your children.

We affirm O God that you are our Source and Resources for life, health, wealth, protection, security, and general welfare. We live, move, have our ‘being’, and can do all things in You!

Thank you Father GOD, for the awareness that you are able to make all grace abound to us, and that even when people are saying ‘there’s economic hardship’, we shall be declaring that we are economically prosperous.

We declare O God that You are causing all things to work together for our good, for we love you, and we are called according to your purpose.

We affirm that doors of opportunities are opening daily, our goods and services are in high demand, and we live above the limitations of this world’s economic system.

We affirm that we are citizens of heaven, and thus our needs are met according to your riches in glory, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

There shall be none homeless, sick, indebted, or demonized among us, for we and our offsprings are Holy unto you.

As you blessed the house of Potiphar because of Joseph, bless all who are connected or related to us by biology, by marriage, and by faith.

Bless our Nations and communities O God, as well as our support network 🙏🏽 . So that they will also participate in enjoying the blessings that you give without sorrows, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Thank you for confirming my words and performing my counsels in Jesus’s name.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, July 17th 2024

#7 Prayer Focus for Today: Our Nations & Leaders.

The event of the past few days was a rude awakening. So much hate filled speeches and misdirected vitriol, that resulted in shots being fired at a public event.

The anxiety, uncertainty and fears of what the future will bring, affects everybody in all the facets of the society.

Small businesses aren’t growing, and can barely pay their overheads because people have reprioritized their priorities, and shop for bare necessities only.

Our world as we know it is changing so much so fast.

Not to be left out, the weather too joined the fight to make humans suffer more.

However, although the state of affairs of the world seem scary, but, as Christians we should become more prayerful than fearful.

We should confront issues at the root, pray for all the people spewing hate that aggravate the situation, and pray also for the leaderships of all the nations of the world. So that we can enjoy peace in this world that God gave us.

Bible Base: 1 Timothy 2 1-2:

“Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men…and for all in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life…(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

It is important to note that when we pray for others we can lead a quiet and peaceable life!

Let us Prayerfully follow the prayer protocol in the above scripture

#Prayer4Today:

1 Supplication: Is an act of worship when we humbly ask God for help.

3f We pray for the families of those who died due to political and religious violence, and ask that you help them process their griefs appropriately, so that they will be healed in their minds, and body, and not live in bitterness, anger and vengeance.

#99 Prayer Focus for Today: First Responders & Firefighters:

*Plead the blood of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins and cleansings of all unrighteousness and defilement in our land.

*Be the prophet of your life, speak blessings over your and yours, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior October 18th 2024

#98 Prayer Focus for Today: To keep on growing in Grace & Right Knowledge.

Bible Base: 2 Peter 3:18 NLT

You must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…

If you do not grow, you will stagnate, vegetate, and die.

For every Believer, we must radiate God’s glory as we illuminate our world with our knowledge of Him. (See Proverbs 4:18)

Don’t be that Christian who has vast knowledge of politics, the sciences, and who is also an avid conspiracy theorist; But whose knowledge of God stems only from quotes of either the pastor or some Christian writer.

Be that Christian who knows God for him/herself.

God’s Word says in Jeremiah 9:24 that we should glory in this:

1). That we (a) understand and (b) know Him [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing His character],

2).That we know Him as the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.

These are the things that make God delight-full.

Further readings:[I Cor. 1:31; II Cor. 10:17.]

Until I grow in the knowledge of who God is, His character, His ways and works, then, I am one of the most ignorant humans alive.

It really doesn’t matter the number of doctoral degrees I have acquired, if I have no knowledge of God, and am still growing in a relationship with him, there is nothing to be glorious or proud about.

Without the true knowledge of God, and an ongoing relationship with Him, all life’s pursuits are a waste! Zero!

Hey, don’t give up on yourself, it’s not too late to start now.

Personal Testimony:

When my kids were growing up and in their college years, they were encouraged to be known as radicals for Christ: Which effectively set boundaries, and later kept the cultists away from them.

As a proud parent, I can testify that my kids are all blessed with supernatural intelligence: which is the result of prioritizing Bible Study and a relationship with God.

I may not have scientific data to establish my point, but I can tell you from seeing the educational excellence of my kids and grandkids, that their educational excellence came about from delving into the Word of God.

One of my daughters testified about how reading her Bible before tests and exams, opened up her mental capacity.

Diligence in reading the Bible, expands your mind, memory and intelligence.

As you keep reading your Bible, you will experience an increase in your ability to receive, retain, recall, and apply knowledge.

You may think my theory of theology is foolish, but remember that, “The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” for “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise…the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”

(See 1 Corinthians 1:25,27 MEV)

You can start today by prioritizing personal Bible Reading, look up all the scriptures referenced in your daily devotionals, and prayerfully apply what you read.

God desires an ongoing relationship with you. Christianity is a lifestyle: it is not a garment of convenience to wear on Sundays.

Let Us Pray

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Spend a minute to just meditate on what you read.

a). How does it affect your life?

b). What can you change to become better?

#97 Prayer Focus for Today: Rain for Arkansas.

Dear People of God, it’s that season again for wildfires 🔥, and most of Arkansas needs rain, in order to stop wildfires, from destroying lives and property.

If you are wondering where this is at, “Arkansas is a landlocked state in the West South Central region of the Southern United States.“ Wikipedia

Presently, Arkansas is very dry, humidity is low, and strong winds are blowing.

Please join us to pray and Avert any catastrophes. People are still recovering from the memorial weekend tornadoes 🌪. We can live without wildfires 🔥.

Bible Base: James 5: 17-18:

17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he prayed [a]intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].
