Just Say No

 

My niece called late yesterday. She said she was sadly missing Jo (my sister who passed last year) and being able to call her when she needed to vent or ask for wisdom from her mother. She said she was sad that Jo was gone but also glad Jo isn't here to see what is happening. 

We launched into a joint rant session, calling out the new god of Self-righteousness and its lieutenant minion, Hypocrisy. We got down to basics that ALL of everything that is unfolding now, clearly speeded up from daily to hourly madness, is completely attributable to satan pulling out the stops. Those in charge are drunk on power now. I cannot help but visualize the whore of Babylon riding the Beast in her drunken narcissism.

I told my niece that I have reached the place where I don't know whether to speak or be silent because I've been warning for YEARS that the day does come when those who refuse to see are blinded lest they see. In other words, they lose the opportunity to open their eyes so they remain blinded and then must reap the reward for their unwise choice. Has the door closed? I don't know. We agreed we should not stop speaking until we know for sure.

Most certainly what is happening, in real time, right now, is not about a pandemic or safety of humankind. Clearly when those in charge would kill us, refuse us medical treatment for any ailment because we refuse their mandate to 'be safe', the truth is blatant. 

In 18 months we have gone from counting those with Covid as being the numbers to follow and the ones whose blood should be donated because of the natural antibodies, to using percentages so they can lie with statistics and those who survived being vilified and tossed aside into the 'anti-vaxxer' camp, now known as terrorists.

Tell me again, how does this make any sense?

No, it's not about health or safety it's about seizing power and overlording and, in the process, destroying anything and everything that has to do with God.  

Didn't see that coming did ya? 

But it is the underlying truth here. Even as Christianity has been under attack from all sides, including within for centuries, it has never been quite this bad. A pretty clear tell for me. How much worse will it get before it gets better is the big question.

I told my niece that it is my opinion that when the system has been completely given over to the godless, we no longer can use the system to fight the war with dark principalities. In other critical eras we used human work arounds - like Corrie Ten boom saving hundreds of Jews by hiding in plain sight. But this is different - a different time and crisis. This time we need to step up to another way.

The day does come when we have to measure up to another level. We have to fortify our faith and trust so that we are fine-tuned to the still small voice because sometimes we are called to stand even when it might mean discomfort and loss. Case in point - the recent murders of the Afghan Christians by the now empowered godless Taliban. 

This time I suspect we will be prompted to do things we never imagined we would or could, which comforts me in a strange way. It causes me to consider that perhaps we were born for this, and if so, how can we not step up?

Centuries of speculation and debate about what The Mark of Revelation 17 would be has fogged over our spiritual discernment. We don't have to know what it is. We have to be able to trust that God will prompt us and then we have to be ready to respond.

I do believe this time we have to just say no to the world even though we must live here, we are not of here. Going along to get along isn't going to save us this time.

My spiritual instincts assure me that miracles do happen and those who hide in the light of Christ aren't always protected from worldly assault or difficulty but are fortified to face, with super natural strength, whatever the world throws at us. 

For Him,

Meema

How to tell the difference between righteousness and self-righteousness:

Those who are righteous hold to values from a Higher Source but do not demand that others bow to them. Those who are Self-righteousness judge and condemn anyone who does not hold to their values.   ~ Unknown
