Days of Noah – Part Four – Enoch, a Hero of Faith
Posted on October 15, 2026 Leave a Comment
Last time, I talked about interspecies breeding again as part of the Days of Noah, because many theologians believe that is what happened in Genesis 6. We reviewed that and showed a couple of places for more information.
I’m returning to Enoch, because he is a hero of mine. He walked with God and was not. As a caution, when you read about ancient history, especially material that was not included in the Canon of Scripture, you have to put some grains of salt on what you read. But his righteousness was recorded in Scripture in Genesis and Hebrews 11.
While re-reading the Book of Enoch bit by bit, and watching a video about it, (yes, it was AI, but it was helpful), I understand much more clearly what those days might have been like. Here’s a link to the video I watched:

There are shorter films about Enoch, but this is the one I took time to watch. It’s interesting. It’s not scripture, but it is thought-provoking, and some of it is extremely inspirational. A lot of it makes sense. I’ve read the Book of Enoch before. I’m reading it again now because he lived during the time when God pretty much decided that He would soon send a flood to destroy what mankind had become. It’s very sad, and yet it helped me make more sense of the Genesis narrative.
Back to Genesis 6:6. The Bible says, “And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” Wow. God is sorry He ever created mankind. And yet, in His sovereignty, He knew beforehand what man would do. He even knew that His watchers (angels) would choose to fall. That YouTube video shows “why” the watchers chose to fall. They wanted to know what they were not created to know. The video says they wanted to know what it was like to have flesh. They wanted to know what it was like to have sexual union with these beautiful girls they saw. And they wanted offspring.
Then, once they did all that, the Book of Enoch says they taught “forbidden” knowledge to mankind. “And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all coloring tinctures.”[1]
That’s just one example of what one watcher taught.
Why is all this important for us to know? In reality, it may not be important for most of us. What matters is how we live our lives. The relevance is the degree of perversion it portrays and the permission it gives.
When we permit and encourage non-traditional, sinful views of humanity and sexuality, we come into agreement with ideas that are not godly. When we entertain and accept these ideas, they become perversion. Perversion means twisting or distortion, but it can also mean corruption, misapplication, and falsification (these are all synonyms in Microsoft Word).
There is hope, however. I just saw an encouraging news story about teenage girls rejecting lesbianism, which is a perversion. Young women are waking up to realize they have not been valued when they accept nontraditional views. Let’s keep praying that the Holy Spirit continues to reveal the lies they have believed. Here’s a link to that story.

History is drawing to a close. As we continue to recognize that we are still in the Days of Noah, as we understand what those were like, we can face the future unafraid, with the truth of God and Christ, and be prepared for His coming.

The Days of Noah – Part 3 – Interspecies Breeding Continued
Posted on October 14, 2026 Leave a Comment
Why do I keep studying the Antediluvian period? Because my curiosity never seems satisfied. I’d never heard about any of that before, and Enoch was so inspiring; I want to know more. How could Enoch live as a righteous man in such a wicked period?
We can’t imagine how evil that time was. It was so bad the Bible says that God, in Genesis 6:6, “…was sorry that He had made man on the earth; He was grieved in His heart.” (NKJV)
Genesis 6:6 follows verses 1-5. Those verses outline what happened … beautiful women, “sons of God” (watchers?), giants, etc. Verse 4 reads, “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.”
My last post talked about interspecies breeding, how donkeys and zebras, lions and tigers, etc. were being interbred. Why? Here’s what Google said. “Scientists interbreed lions and tigers only in controlled, captive settings (emphasis theirs) for research, education, and historical interest. In the wild, natural hybridization is extremely rare because of ecological and behavioral barriers.” I believe it goes against God’s design. God created all the animals and then mankind. He did not create interspecies breeding. I don’t think He’s really happy with this kind of experimentation.
I’ve never seen the movie “The Island of Doctor Moreau.” But I know it’s about varying degrees of experimentation between apes and man. Yuck. Honestly. I believe it takes a somewhat warped mind to pursue this kind of study of interspecies breeding and carry it out.
Interspecies breeding between angels and women produced giants. Not Goliath-sized either. He would have been classified as a dwarf. I read in two different places how tall they might have been. One said 450 feet tall; the other said 4,500 feet tall. Both are horrifying to contemplate. Conservative Protestant denominations cannot and will not explain giants or this interspecies breeding that produced them. They have an entirely different idea of what Genesis 6:2 means. They think it means women from Seth’s line and men from Cain’s line. But they don’t explain the giants.
What do you think about this? Leave a comment and let me know. Next time: More on my hero Enoch.

Refreshing Streams – Prophetic Activation Workout
Posted on August 4, 2026 Leave a Comment
We all know that we need to “workout” in order to be in good physical condition. But did you know that your spirit also needs a “workout?” Especially when developing our ability to hear from God and by stretching ourselves to hear from Him in ways we have not previously utilized.
And it shall come to pass afterwardThat I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,Your old men shall dream dreams,Your young men shall see visions.29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservantsI will pour out My Spirit in those days
The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Joel 2:28–29.
We are ALL “hardwired” to hear from our Creator, our Heavenly Father. He created us in His image. God is spirit, and He created us with spirits who can hear from Him.
With this in mind, Refreshing Streams is hosting ONLINE a Prophetic Gym Workout. Or Prophetic Activation Workout. Kirby & Donna have been taking Prophetic Company’s ACT (Activate Certified Trainers) course this whole year and we have had the opportunity to practice what we have learned about our spiritual senses for our class Prophetic Gym. We want to offer this to you, especially of you not in Lancaster County, PA.
“Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.” Who through training … have the skill … How are you going to get training? By taking advantage of outside your church training. Churches are wonderful places for fellowship, basic salvation message, and if you’re fortunate, beyond the basics discipleship. Some, like me, outgrew what my churches taught me many years ago. I was hungry for more. I can’t say I’m totally mature, but I’m seeking God and learning. I’m a lifelong learner … always looking for how to grow in knowledge and relationship with God.
Tyndale House Publishers, Holy Bible: New Living Translation (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 2015), Heb 5:14.
This will be ONLINE, Saturday, August 29 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

WEEKEND TWO – HEARING
Posted on July 18, 2026 Leave a Comment
We all know that we can hear with our natural ears. Most of us hear from God from that “still, small, voice” that Elijah heard. That’s how we’re taught to hear from God.
But we can also hear through dreams and other internal ways, what is on God’s mind.
Today, we will cover this sense of spiritual HEARING. All three “sub” receptors of External, Internal, and Mystical Hearing will be covered. Even though this is our most common spiritual sense in some ways, you will be stretched to experience God in either new or expanded ways.
Each session will include:
* values & protocols for ministry
* teaching
* ministry
* activation

Refreshing Streams Summer Prophetic Series
Posted on June 21, 2026 Leave a Comment
WEEKEND ONE – SEEING
We all know that we can see with our natural eyes. That is External Seeing.
And most of us are able to “see” internally, in our “mind’s eye.” Some of you may also have experienced an “open” vision, where something supernatural is overlaid on the natural, and your eyes are open, and you see.
To kick off our Summer Prophetic Series, we will cover this sense of spiritual SEEING. All three “sub” receptors of External, Internal, and Mystical Seeing will be covered. Even though this is our most common spiritual sense in some ways, you will be stretched to experience God in either new or expanded ways.
Each session will include:
* values & protocols for ministry
* teaching
* ministry
* activation
