And of course, first of all, trust in God.
This will not be for the faint hearted. I advised another person today to think about living a regular sane life, he has a family and it is likely to get 'interesting". That does not make one a coward. There are various approaches to this. Various levels of visibility. He might need to dial it back. He became a bit too visible at one point, which gave him a massive reality check. As for myself, this old dog, i aint got nothing to lose and Heaven to gain. Not saying people need to back off. I simply am saying count the cost. It likely is gonna get high.
first of all, trust in God.
Absolutely but it is easier said than done. How many times has someone told you "things will work out"? You know they are right but it doesn't help the anxiety you are feeling. It must be really tough for people with young families.
I have to agree. TBH i do not know how it will work out for this Nation. It appears it will really be in His Hands to turn it around. It required Divine intervention for the First Revolutionary War. It will likely require a similar level of miracles at some point. Also, our human view of what things we hope for might not be what we end up facing. This, too, is being realistic. IMHO that is where trust comes in. To hold to Him and to stand fast, no matter what. For whatever the outcome, it is only up from here, by His grace and mercy. Until then, we shall occupy. We will do what we can do and not give up hope. We kneel to none but God. Come what may, one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. My motivation is that future generations shall not be under tyranny. We should identify what our core motivation is, to carry us through when times get tough. Spiritually, it is also the upholding of our founding values and virtues, in fealty to God. To not fear to speak His Name in any case. Nor to fear speaking the truth. And i see ample evidence in your case, that you certainly do not fear. Kudos for your persistence and efforts.

I agree with you. I wonder if this country was a more God fearing people back then. Every time Israel went against God (not everyone) they lost his favor and were conquered. Think of the northern 10 tribes. They didn't last as long as the US. The Assyrians wiped them out. Even Judah was wiped out after the Babylonians conquered them.
Until then, we shall occupy. We will do what we can do and not give up hope. We kneel to none but God.
Amen.

That is certainly part of it. My motivation is God's truth. We are but soldiers in his army. Live by the Word and leave the results to God. Thy will be done not my will. Tough to do sometimes as our ego's get in the way.

I thank you for that. Lately I've felt beaten down by siblings. It's always those closest that do the most damage to your spirit.
