NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] plans a new command structure that places the German-Netherlands Corps in charge of defending Latvia and Estonia, enabling faster deployment of German and Dutch troops in a crisis with Russia. The shift divides responsibilities now held by a single headquarters in Szczecin [Poland] and is intended to improve rapid reinforcement across the Baltics, a region officials describe as geographically exposed. Military sources say the added corps would allow NATO to bring in “mass at speed,” though the final troop numbers and timeline remain unclear (Kyiv Independent)

Experts at University of Nevada, Las Vegas [US] say that aerobic exercise slows Parkinson’s disease progression by lowering inflammation and boosting the protective brain protein BDNF [brain-derived neurotrophic factor], which helps damaged neurons survive.

Previously in Parts 1 and 2 of Gabe Poirot’s near-death experience, Gabe described how a skateboarding accident left him lifeless on the pavement, with his skull cracked from the top down. He flatlined, was resuscitated, and remained in a non-responsive coma for 18 days. Yet from the moment of the accident, Gabe says he slipped out of his body, was drawn upward by a Light that was not a thing but a person, and was brought before Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) There, he experienced Heaven as Christ Himself, saw time held in His hands, saw vision-like moments from scripture, and saw the prayers people on Earth were praying for him. After Lord Jesus Christ told him his time was not up, Gabe woke from an 18-day coma with his memory restored. Now, Gabe explains what changed after he came back.

Before this encounter, I did have ministry, and I did have a YouTube channel, and I did preach Jesus, and I did love Him, really. I also equated God’s Blessing to earthly possession, which is not OK. But at the time, if people were going through a tough time, I thought, well, maybe if you just practice this tithe or this seed or this thing, that maybe God would bless you more, works-based teachings. And those things, from my encounter with Christ, I realized all I needed in life was Jesus. Jesus plus nothing. And I can be blessed even if I don’t have all the things of the Earth.

The encounter didn’t just change what Gabe believed — it changed how he treated people. He describes a moment on a basketball court that captures what that transformation looks like in practice. A guy threw me to the ground, throwing a punch, basically, at me. The whole court stopped because they thought we were about to fight. But I looked at him right in the eyes. I said, “Man, is everything OK? I’m sorry. I must have crossed you somehow. Everything alright?” He was speechless. He had his hands up, ready to fight me. He walked away. Five minutes go by. He comes back, almost tears going down his eyes. He says, “I don’t understand. Why are you kind to me? Why are you forgiving me? I was about to punch you in the face.” And I said, “Man, I dealt with anger issues before in my life, too. I love you, brother. I don’t fault you at all. Is everything OK?” He told me, “You don’t know this, but I just lost my passport. I don’t have a job anymore. And I’m not actually, I don’t have an issue with you. I’m just angry at everyone right now.”

And there on the basketball court, he ends up praying with me in front of everyone. He doesn’t even care because he prays with me, and he commits his life to Christ, to faith. And it’s kind of like a wild situation, right? That’s, like, not supposed to happen, if somebody throws you to the ground and tries fighting you, and now you’re praying with them. But that’s how His Love operates.

When asked what the biggest shock will be for people when they finally see Lord Jesus face to face, Gabe had a message he wanted to deliver first. Well, I invite them, before they come to that day, before they come to the end of their life on Earth, say, “Yes,” to Him today. Repent of their sin today. Return from your own way today, and turn to Him today. He’s alive. The grave is empty. So, receive Him today. And I’ll say, the biggest shock, when they see Him that day, they’re going to be stunned, speechless, in awe of the Love that He is. Not the Love that He’s considering to have, the Love He is.

He’s the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And His Love is eternal, infinite. But the grace of this Earth is finite. And the time we do have is short. We should never count on tomorrow. But we should give Him our life today. Everything. And giving Him our life doesn’t mean we have to be good enough for Him. Giving Him our life just means we give Him what we have. However little or much of a failure we feel like we are, give it to Him. However broken you feel, give it to Him. He’ll save you. (Lila Rose)
