Paradoxically, with all that is going on, i do not feel depressed about it nor lose one wink of sleep. Once in a while i might get mad about the latest planned outrage, but then i remember that is the point, to keep us mad, or sad, or simply in overwhelm. Never knew i would be back into this mess, going on four years. I did research decades ago. Laid it aside. Never knew it would come back up almost center stage. But the real center of the stage is occupied by Christ Jesus. I believe that makes this all doable. Dont need to go into the past, but a few years of following Marxism/Maoism, also decades ago, and over the years other more unusual experiences, perhaps that has helped with the perspective about our in extremis situation now. When i was into the Marxist bullshit, then i was angry. All the time. That is the key with those doctrines. And hate, it teaches one to hate. I know them well enough and the mindset. Thank God i got free of that long ago. I also saw the hypocrisy of it all. And the absolute evil. So what to do with all this? I have laid down any expectation of man. DJT aint gonna save us. No man will. At the core of this is a corrupt world system. Believers need to remember this. And it is supposed to go sideways before we go Home.
While it appears that the virus really sorta rearranged the furniture in my mind, and i can wear my emotions on my sleeve, there still is the bedrock of calm confidence in Christ Jesus. Bottom line: I know and we know that the table IS gonna flip. It might not be until He returns and sets it all right side up. But i repeat: The table is gonna FLIP. Until then i work quietly, but i do work. Preferring to remain behind the scenes but to support some local efforts. I have enough in my mind and in some of the research that we all have done over these years, to help feed some of the local action. Quiet, persistent, fearless. And the latter only by the grace of God. Never to fear those who can only destroy the body. Keep on keeping on, justin. Perhaps that sense of depression and even perhaps hopelessness can be remedied as WE KNOW Who wins in the end. Dont let that sap your energy and drain your soul. Might get a bit choppy, but the final destination of this flight will be Home. Truly free. But until then, gonna fight. Cuz i know for one what bastards they are. I know how they think. Godspeed
If I were to write down how I got here, it would mirror your journey, less being involved with Marxists..rather I was studying them for the last 30+ Years. One thing I learned along the way is Evil is not bound by principles or morals. Evil will corrupt and destroy everything that allows it to be. But like you said RightSideUp17and6, we have free will! That's Very Important to understand! Together, as we all start standing up against Evil (whatever it's cloaked in at any given point on time), we can 1st expose them, then stop them. We all need to manifest, through our free will, the world we want to live in. Think about the Ten Commandments as a Road Map for our future. Think about how wonderful the world would be if we all followed Jesus's teachings! We had a wonderful Christmas Day yesterday, great food, family, friends, games, laughing... I thank God for the blessings in my life, and that I can now see plain as day, right from wrong, good from evil, there is No Middle ground anymore! I truly believe We are meant to be here at this point in time.. To share what we've learned, to help people understand why it Had To Be This Way! Anyways, I feel privileged to be here with all of you. You all all very special to me, even though we may not see things in the same light or from the same perspective, we can all learn a little something from our different life experiences, and grow together and build a better future for the world. God Bless Us All. And Happy Birthday Jesus!
Amen and right there with you, anon. I do agree that we were born for such a time as this. I am grateful for our Savior being born to fulfill His mission. As believers, we rejoice in this, also anticipating His return. In the meantime: "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." We will do our part. The Lord bless you and yours. Godspeed.
Thank you. May the Lord guide us for what's to come... Amen.
