Lighthouse Daily – 13th May, 2026…
Good day fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ.
Today’s update is about a 5 minute read.
In this update:
- An urgent message from pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell —waking up to the times we are in
- Beyond betrayal, trying to murder in the name of Christ
- Our human limitations are not an accident —the bonsai programme
1. Our Personal, Interpersonal & Global Commission from Christ: The Problems We Face and Solutions Needed
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” — Matthew 24:42
The urgency of Christians waking up is greater than ever.
The times we are living in are extremely perilous and treacherous.
Please hear this message from a brother in Christ who has fought through many spiritual battles himself:
This is one of many reasons why we are working hard at Lighthouse to equip the Body of our Lord to help one another in every way —Theochristologically, humanly, materially and financially.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
“They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.” — John 16:2
Christians are facing more perilous times than we have ever seen.
Not only are there threats from the outside, but as the Scriptures say, some will even try to destroy, defame, smear and persecute — in the name of serving God.
Yes, that will certainly include individuals from other religions like Islam.
But history and our own experiences tell us that some of those who target Christians to “offer service to God”, will call themselves Christians too.
Most recently, we have experienced this with the “very amateur” journalist, Christian Hacking.
Someone who, in the name of Christ, targeted Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse, believing firmly that he was serving the body of Christ —by smearing a Christian community already suffering under attack from the top tier Establishment.
In due course, we will be sharing critical areas we believe Mr Hacking needs to repent.
We have already received reports that the Hacking family are taking our open letter to Lord David Hacking very seriously.
If you are not familiar with our investigation and case study into Christian Hacking, click on the arrow on the left for more context. If you are familiar already, continue reading below…
- Christian Hacking presented himself to Lighthouse Global as a “very amateur” independent Christian journalist, and we initially aimed to support him as a brother or sister in Christ.
- Lighthouse later concluded that Hacking had a vested interest in demonising us through toxic framing, needing Lighthouse to appear as a “cult” and Paul S. Waugh as a “cult leader”, despite what is extensive contrary evidence.
- We believe this framing served Hacking’s amateur journalistic ambitions by creating a sensational “big scoop”, even if misleading, at our and Paul’s expense.
- Due to Hacking’s deceptive intent, lack of professionalism, and limited audience or reach, we decided we could not work with Hacking.
- Hacking sent Paul a set of 150 questions. These questions were biased, cynical, self righteous, and prosecutorial, demanding answers, despite Paul stating (26 Jan 2026, via audio message) that we could not work with Hacking.
- At minimum this is a petty vendetta, and possibly signs of being a “media plant” connected to the BBC. Both Hacking and Hacking’s father David have praised the BBC.
- If Hacking is smearing Christian communities as “cults” for personal agenda rather than genuine investigation, it must be challenged, hence our case study and linking it to the “Judas Syndrome” educational series.
- This issue is larger than one individual. It is part of a wider, orchestrated “Establishment” strategy to brand close knit communities, and even businesses or parties, as alleged cults to control narratives and ostracise opposition.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
“so that we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming” – Ephesians 4:14
At Lighthouse Global, our pioneering work for over 22 years has been in constant search of finding out the limitations, the barriers, the obstacles and the restraining forces working against human beings.
As we have made clear before, through our research, we have unearthed some of the most heinous, diabolical, disturbing methods, tactics and reasons as to how the top tier Establishment have suppressed and oppressed the masses.
This video below barely scratches the surface. But it is enough to warrant serious alarm bells as to the diabolical forces imposed on us by the top tier Establishment.
We call it the “bonsai programme” – a deliberate, structured programme built by the satanic top tier, to methodically suppress every human faculty we have.
Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.
God bless,
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

The message from Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell is urgent…I’m hearing it more and more not just from others, but in my day to day experience, to get right, to be with Jesus. The battle with our own flesh is real and a daily war. Then the war with those hiding and parading among the Body targeting Christians for their own self gain! I hope and pray He comes soon.. this world is evil.
Thank you. God bless our brother Philip Anthony Mitchell. That message is something I just do not hear anywhere near as much as we all ought to be hearing it in the ‘church’. Fascinating then when you look at the elements that are mentioned in the third section here, about what Ai would do if it were the Devil, and how much these points are all factors that act against what Philip Anthony Mitchell is calling out. Especially the lack of urgency, becoming comfortable and procrastination! We are being duped into being just as Satan wants us to be and need to wake each other up out of that and get to work on what is needed in these end times.
We are in critical and perilous times of the end, as Philip Anthony Mitchell states and as Scripture warns. Thank you for helping us to wake up and heed this warning as Christians. I pray that Christian Hacking sees and repents of his wrongs and endeavours to make things right, especially with Sukh, Jatinder, Kris, and Paul S. Waugh. God bless everyone.
Thank you for both of these videos. They are both hitting the Bullseye flush. God bless Phillip Anthony Mitchell for urging us to prepare for Christ return and I can the strategies listed in the other video are endemic in our society. God bless the Body of Christ.
What’s shared in this update is imperative… highlighting the urgency of needing to seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. We need that in order to be faithful and discerning when it comes to where we’re investing our intentions and attention. There are so many distractions in today’s world along with the threats and the temptations in a dark, evil, satanic world.
This evening I was hearing from a former MP explaining the reality of the system we’re in. It was a reinforcer of how crucial, vital and critical it is for the Body to come together to protect ourselves and each other from the current dangers, whether spiritual, mental, emotional or physical.
“Now is the time to pursue intimacy with Christ.” Thank you Mr Mitchell, I really appreciate the key areas he lays out as to what it really looks like to prepare for the imminent return of Christ 🙏
The nine points of how Satan stops us from being successful, are so chilling and I can not honestly say that each of these have not been something I am experiencing or have experienced and I certainly have not recognised the seriousness of these. This is why our awareness of how we are targeted from within the Body, by the Establishment and the problems we face personally and as a Body, have to be addressed with urgency, gratitude and conviction.
God bless every believer with the Spirit, courage and conviction to take our personal relationship with Christ seriously and address anything that would get in the way of fulfilling His Great Commission and becoming more like Him 🙏
Christ is coming soon, the signs are there. I see the persecution is growing. The numbers are showing it, it’s just chaotic right now.
So much in this update is like a depth charge to the heart and to the conscience to prepare for our Lord’s return. Lord forgive me for where I have sinned and not made myself ready, please give me the strength and discipline to obey You and follow You so that I may have oil in my lamp and have helped others to have oil in their lamps. 🙏🙏🙏 Amen
The message from Philip Anthony Mitchell is so crucial at this time. Too often, people either ignore messages about Christ’s return or make excuses not to take them seriously. There is so much deception everywhere, and seeing how establishment organisations, as well as individuals, attack those who stand for truth reveals how deeply broken and spiritually lost the world has become.
As it is so powerfully said here: the time is now to take our personal relationship with Christ and the Truth seriously 🙏🏻
The time is near, the urgency is at critical point, Christ will be returning soon. Thank you for helping all of us “Wake Up” and see the reality of the urgency. What Pastor Phillip shared, it had me in tears. God bless him and all of us. We will be attacked as Lighthouse is, and we will be persecuted. That is the reason for purpose-built communities, so that we can and will help each other, never have to say no where we ought to say yes…Amen
Christians are definitely under attack and have been for millennia. Now it is increasing and now is the time to see the direction these attacks are coming from and how to cope with them and use them to the advantage of Christianity where possible.
