08/14/18 STILL IN IT, CHOOSE WISELY
VERY IMPORTANT POST
(aside from Scripture, it might be most important info you read this week. Maybe important enough to SHARE).
NOW WE KNOW
(b/c it is now more then theory).
Let me say, I made my choices IN SPITE OF THE LOOMING DANGERS.
(my use of CAPS is for emphasis, not yelling)
WE WERE WARNED that one day our thoughts, idea, beliefs, preferences, desires, fears, words, alliances, activities, dislikes, EVEN FROM OUR PAST, would one day be used against us.
WE WERE WARNED that what we did, what we said and what we thought would be used by government, society, employment, associates, friends, neighbors and family to persecute and prosecute us.
WE WERE WARNED that the things we wrote or did on the Internet would be used against us.
AND NOTICE... I am not talking here about God's judgment, but rather human oppression IN THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD.
MOST PEOPLE SAID IT DID NOT MATTER.
MOST PEOPLE SAID IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN.
MOST PEOPLE SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT ASHAMED OR AFRAID OF THEIR IDEAS, CONVERSATION, BEHAVIOR because they were not forbidden or illegal.
THAT WAS THEN.
BUT NOW WE SEE CLEARLY.
As I said, I made my choices KNOWING the probable consequences.
I have been proactive concerning the probability of these things happening.
I have set my course for the heart of the battle in light of these probabilities.
I have donned my battle gear and RUN TO THE BATTLE.
Who would have thought that the THOUGHT POLICE were so close to taking over the United States of America?
Who would have thought that people (even those who see themselves as motivated by "higher ideals" or those who want to impose a THEOCRACY) were ready to attack people based on their "higher values, greater understanding and a plan for societal good?" They attack our heritage, our views, our culture, our religion, our race.
KEEP IN MIND, Christians (people who trust and follow Christ, people who believe the Bible, people who are led by the Holy Spirit) do have a higher view, way, knowledge, understanding, but they do not try to force everyone into a Biblical mold and they do not use the sword of steel to threaten and destroy non believers. YES, Christians (as well as moral people of other religions) do accept some laws (from nature or God) to be binding on all of society, such as prohibition to murder, steal, assault, violate, as well as prohibitions to certain sexual pollution, such as, violation of marriage laws, sexual activity outside of marriage, homosexuality, polygamy, incest, bestiality, pedophilia, obscenity, rape. BUT THOSE ARE ACTUAL SOCIAL ILLS THAT HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS BEING DESTRUCTIVE TO MORALITY AND CIVILITY.
HOWEVER, the thought police goes far beyond basic moral and social well being. They set themselves up as God, attacking, destroying, imprisoning and killing whatever things and people who disagree with them. It has happened in the past, it has happened in other places and still happens. It has been touted as the RIGHT THING TO DO and it has been promoted by beast of all kinds, religious and secular.
The stage for this New World has been in the making for a long time. But it became evident in America when they started tearing down and destroying and rewriting history, when they made Robert E. Lee to be the American Hitler, and the Southern culture to be hated and destroyed (for instance), then all other sanity was doomed as well.
WELL, THE INSANITY HAS INTENSIFIED and it will continue.
Now the haters will use your thoughts, words, actions, associations, history, communications to keep you from earning a living, from worshiping and from being free or even being allowed to live. LISTEN, if a person does not want to buy your product or service, that is one thing, but to make you a target for a political, legal, economic, hateful agenda is another.
Your Facebook and other social media will eventually shut you down, will be called up as a witness to ruin and destroy you, your career, relationships, freedom. Therefore, make your choices with eternity in view. Make your choices based on the absolute truth of God's word (the Holy Bible).
WE WERE WARNED
I chose to keep my course, because I knew it was a battle worthy of a fight.
We must be "wise as serpents", but when it comes to our faithfulness, we must be BULLDOG-MATIC. We may need to go into hiding, but we must never hide the light of the gospel. We may be able to stretch our time of ministry longer, but we must never save our ministry at the cost of our souls.
I have much more to say, but this is enough for this post.
I love y'all.
There is a secular song that says, "Only the Strong Survive." There is a truth that, "Only the Spiritually Strong, Spiritually Aware, Spiritually Faithful Survive."
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
Ephesians 6:10-20
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
2 Timothy 2:1-4
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
