God, we pray for all those affected by this horrible fire. Your Divine Protection we ask, for All the people and animals. ~Psalm 91~ In Jesus mighty name!
January 9, 2025 at 5:56 amA devastating fire has burned thousands of acres in California, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate. Intervene, God!
January 9, 2025 at 5:57 amTens of thousands have fled their homes as a brush fire in the Pacific Palisades has burned nearly 3,000 acres. Authorities have said the blaze could grow further as strong winds are expected to continue in the region.
January 9, 2025 at 5:57 amThe Los Angeles Fire Department said the Palisades Fire started at 10:30 a.m. near 1190 North Piedra Morada Dr. With winds reaching at least 40 mph, the flames quickly spread to about 200 acres and grew exponentially.
January 9, 2025 at 5:58 amIt continued to spread rapidly through the hillsides. As of Wednesday morning, the fire has burned 2,921 acres with zero containment. Authorities evacuated about 30,000 people as flames threatened more than 10,000 homes.
January 9, 2025 at 5:58 amEarly Wednesday morning, evacuation orders expanded well into Malibu, creeping into the same area that was just devastated by the Franklin Fire in December.
January 9, 2025 at 5:59 amLAFD said they received reports of multiple burn victims. One firefighter sustained a serious head injury while trying to douse the flames. She received treatment at the scene and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, according to LAFD.
January 9, 2025 at 6:00 amForecasters say gusts could reach up to 100 miles per hour in some parts of the region likely the worst conditions seen since a windstorm in 2011 left behind $40 million in damage in Los Angeles County
January 9, 2025 at 6:01 amEmergency shelters and evacuation map With the flames moving quickly, some drivers abandoned their cars on Sunset near where the main LA roadway meets the PCH. Some said firefighters told them to get out and flee on foot. About 30 vehicles were left abandoned, according to the LA Fire Department.
January 9, 2025 at 6:02 amMeanwhile, thousands of residents escaped their homes as firefighters continued battling the Pacific Palisades blaze. The Westwood Recreation Center has opened as an evacuation center and overnight shelter for evacuees and small animals, according to fire authorities.

January 9, 2025 at 6:03 amâLife-threateningâ windstorm and a major red flag warning Many parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, including the area where the wildfire started, are facing a âParticularly Dangerous Situationâ red flag warning this week. Itâs a relatively rare advisory the National Weather Service issues in more extreme cases, and itâs the same warning that was issued just before the Mountain Fire tore through nearly 20,000 acres in neighboring Ventura County last year.
January 9, 2025 at 6:04 amForecasters have warned of a âlife-threateningâ windstorm that is likely the most powerful one to hit the region since 2011, which left behind millions of dollars in damage and led to 400,000 people losing power.
January 9, 2025 at 6:05 amGusts could up to around 60 to 70 mph in many areas and up to 100 mph in a few parts of Southern California, according to forecasters. Resources stretched thin Firefighting resources were already being stretched thin with the massive response to the Palisades Fire, which prompted Los Angeles Fire Department to request all of their off-duty firefighters contact them and report if theyâre available to assist with the firefight.
January 9, 2025 at 6:05 amLAFD Public Information Officer Margaret Stewart says this is the first time the department has had to make such a request in the last 19 years.

January 10, 2025 at 9:42 amYes đ family, Father we ask questions so that You may transform and repurpose their pain in Godâs image. You had asked me, âWhy are you still suffering?â My answer is now, âI thought life was bitter to my soulâ. In the process of repurposing pain, we know in His hands of Your divine sovereignty, creative authority, and the glory (light) manifesting in various ways through Godâs actions of grace (life), we find light and life. Matthew 27:46 âJesus asks, âWhy have you forsaken me?ââ which occurs during the crucifixion, and reflects Jesusâ human experience of anguish and the fulfillment of Psalm 22:1: âMy God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I have cried desperately for help, but still it does not come.â Job 7:17 âWhat is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention?â Jobâs question about why mankind receives such attention from God reveals both the mystery and the grace of Godâs involvement in human life. Through Nihilo Power, we see that every individual is part of Godâs intentional creation, with inherent value and purpose. Emetha Power assures us that Godâs truth about humanity is unchanging, offering wisdom and understanding even in times of questioning. Kohva Power reminds us that Godâs strength sustains us, showing that His ongoing care for mankind is a source of endurance and victory over lifeâs difficulties. Together, these powers reveal that Godâs attention to humanity is part of His divine plan, providing meaning, wisdom, and strength. For Jesus is God⊠by His Grace (Care, Truth and Strength) all in Jesusâ great name, Amen!đ P.S. My Testimony⊠I trust His Sovereignty: Glory, the Timing of Life gives meaning and direction Grace, Purposes of Light gives strength and hope!!! Family, just know for by His grace, questioning the timing/purpose while not questioning Him nor the work of the Holy SpiritâŠ.doesnât lead to condemnation or bitterness to the soul (even John the Baptist questioned God about having to wait) for it includes the following Eternal Wisdom and Design: Foundational Power, Revelation, Victory over Suffering as the Spirit helps us find meaning and strength in the midst of pain (Romans 8:26). Basically, we question and the Holy Spirit answers!
January 10, 2025 at 10:45 amPraying for God’s mercy for everyone that’s being affected by these fires. đđŒđ
