As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland
Navigating the Changes, A Look Behind the Curtain, Disclosure or Disposers
Host James Gilliland discusses a monumental convergence of planetary alignments and energetic influxes marking 2026 as a "biblical" pivot point for humanity. The discourse covers the collapse of corrupt institutional systems, the transition to a new financial reality, and the urgent need for individual spiritual sovereignty amidst intensifying global and geological changes.
Planetary Alignments and the 2026 Timeline
The current celestial landscape features a rare alignment of six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus—which coincides with a massive influx of energy. This period, particularly peaking around March 1st and again in October 2026, is described as a "pivot point" where three distinct timelines merge. Individuals are urged to raise their frequencies and align with universal law, as personal choices and actions will now determine which timeline one follows during this "Great Reveal."
Institutional Collapse and the "Great Reveal"
The narrative emphasizes the exposure of deep-seated corruption across politics, religion, and the "Deep State." This includes the release of the Epstein files and the perceived failure of the two-party political system, which is described as a program for population control. As public faith in external leaders wanes, a shift toward self-leadership and a direct personal connection to the Divine is emerging. This "reveal" extends to the UFO/UAP and spiritual communities, where "shills" and "posers" are being exposed for capitalizing on public ignorance rather than serving the collective.
Geopolitics, Zionism, and Universal Law
A significant portion of the discussion critiques the current state of Middle Eastern geopolitics and the concept of Zionism, which the speaker defines as being in opposition to true "Christ consciousness." The conflict in Gaza and the role of the U.S. as a "brute squad" for expansionism are highlighted as violations of universal law. True spiritual teachings are described as all-inclusive, rejecting the notion of "chosen ones" or "blood rights" in favor of a God that is omnipresent and unconditional love.
Economic Transition and Earth Changes
The old financial system is reportedly collapsing to make way for the Quantum Financial System (QFS), evidenced by gold and silver prices reaching historic highs. Simultaneously, physical Earth changes are intensifying. The "Ring of Fire" is active with 45 volcanoes currently erupting, and significant seismic activity is noted in California and the Pacific Northwest. These events are viewed as a "cleanup and restoration" of the planet, where ill-gotten gains will be lost and assets redirected toward service to others.
The Path to Ascension
The speaker concludes that contact with advanced, benevolent off-world civilizations requires humanity to operate with "impeccable integrity, an open mind, and a loving heart." This involves moving beyond the "controlled narrative" of UAP disclosure toward a "disposer movement" that discards ego and fear. The soul is described as an eternal energy that determines its destination (4D, 5D, or beyond) based on its frequency and alignment with universal peace.
The message is a call to transition from external dependency to internal sovereignty. By embracing "impeccable integrity" and universal love, individuals can transcend the collapsing old-world structures and participate in the Earth's ascension and the restoration of global balance.

The Path of Contrition: A Lenten Service of Reflection and Renewal
This document summarizes the Lenten worship service held at LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church, focusing on the spiritual discipline of contrition. The service explores the transition from the weight of human sinfulness to the transformative joy found through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.
Detailed Points of Reflection
The Symbolism of the Cross in Worship
The service emphasizes the cross as the central motif of the Lenten season, both theologically and physically. During the children's message, it was noted that the sanctuary contains over 360 crosses—found in the architecture, windows, and light fixtures—serving as a daily reminder for the entire year that Jesus cares for the "hard things" in life. This visual abundance reinforces the message that the atonement is a "full and free" gift for those in affliction.
The Presence of the Cross
In the LaGrave sanctuary, the cross is integrated into the very fabric of the environment, symbolizing constant support:
Reredos & Windows: Visual depictions of the crucifixion.
Light Fixtures: 288 crosses embedded in the main lights.
Wall Sconces: Additional crosses bringing the total to over 360.
"One cross for every day of the year."
The Theology of Contrition
The sermon defines "contrition" as a "godly sorrow for sin," distinguishing it from mere guilt. Drawing from Psalm 51 and the writings of Robert Roberts, the message argues that contrition is a vital spiritual emotion—akin to joy or peace—that every Christian should cultivate. Unlike secular remedies for unworthiness, such as denial or self-harm, contrition serves as a "remedy" and a "gift" that addresses the deep moral failures of the human heart.
The Three Stages of a Contrite Heart
Using King David’s confession after his transgressions with Bathsheba as a framework, the service outlines a three-part progression of contrition. First, one must recognize the depth of sin, acknowledging that it is not a momentary lapse but a condition that goes "all the way down". Second, the individual must accept their total helplessness to change themselves, shifting the "verbs of change" entirely to God. Finally, the process culminates in turning to the Redeemer, where the realization of helplessness meets the "unfailing love" and victory of Jesus Christ.
The Three Stages of Contrition
1. Depth: Realizing sin is a deep-seated nature, not just a mistake.
2. Helplessness: Admitting that personal willpower cannot fix the heart.
3. Redemption: Hurling oneself upon the mercy and compassion of Christ.
Community Intercession and Global Concerns
The congregation engaged in extensive prayer for local and global needs. This included petitions for the healing of hospitalized members, guidance for church leaders in the nomination process, and support for city partners addressing homelessness. The prayer also extended to world leaders and the pursuit of lasting peace in the Middle East, resting in the "good news" that God remains in control.
Key Data
Sanctuary Symbolism: There are estimated to be more than 360 crosses within the church sanctuary.
Mental Health Context: Approximately 1 in 5 young people in society engage in some form of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) to cope with feelings of unworthiness.
Liturgical Calendar: The service marked the Second Sunday in Lent.
To-Do / Next Steps
Participate in the Generation Spark Survey: Attendees are asked to fill out index cards on the puzzle tables in the multipurpose room to help develop intergenerational relationships.
Attend Visitor Coffee Time: Visitors and new members (joined within the last two years) are invited to the parlor after the service for a meet-and-greet.
Review Elder and Deacon Nominations: Members nominated for leadership roles should discern their acceptance of these positions.
Practice Daily Contrition: Individuals are encouraged to bring specific "broken" areas of their lives to God in nightly prayer for cleansing.
Conclusion
The service concludes with the affirmation that contrition is not a "morbid" focus on failure, but a "joyful" gateway to a second chance. By standing before the cross and offering a "broken and contrite heart," the believer finds that Jesus descends into the deepest parts of human misery to bring them home.
