Now more than ever we need to surround ourselves with truth-givers. We need to hone our discernment capabilities. We need to shut out the noise and concentrate our energies on, “… whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” [Philippians 4:8]

There is no doubt about it: we are in a battle for the hearts, minds and souls of mankind. As Q told us, disinformation is necessary:

Same with real life. Same with people, events and ideas. Look for patterns, look for the common denominator, look for the opposite of what you believe. The latter will either solidify your own beliefs or get you to consider another perspective. Is the person consistent with the values they tout? Do their ideas and beliefs conflict with God’s? With the constitution? With your own personal beliefs? Do they encourage beneficial discussions? Do their positions promote freedom? Is there something about an individual or an idea they are espousing sound off? Not quite right? Anti-God or anti-freedom? Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it, but something…. Listen to your instincts!

Put another way let’s consider reading reviews for a product you are thinking about purchasing. I’m guessing one of the first things we do is read the negative reviews, right? As I’m sure you easily recognize, a lot of those reviews don’t pass muster. The reviewer may not have liked the taste or color, or the item arrived late, or their child didn’t like the product, or they thought it would be larger. Unfortunately you have to read these opinions to get to the ones that are actually about the function and durability of the product. These personal sentiments can usually be dismissed because it has no bearing on the quality of the product. Then you go to all the high mark reviews. Did the item just arrive thus the reviewer didn’t have time to test the product? Did the reviewer simply praise the delivery method and not the product? Did the reviewer not have personal experience with the product but rated it high because someone else liked it? All these opinions need to be tossed out as well because the reviews do not give any indication as to the value and reliability of the product. I think you know where I’m going with all this 😉

We are not meant to know everything, but that doesn’t mean we cannot question what we don’t understand. There’s a few methods to getting to the truth when you may have limited access, acuity and assets. Start researching your questions and doubts yourself. Reverse your quest. For example, if you want to know if Thomas Jefferson was a good and decent man, find materials and opinions that point to him being a malicious man. Look at the sources of those who paint him as malevolent, and discern if there are ulterior motives to their descriptions. Then read through all the glowing praises, assess the motives behind their accolades. Finally begin to construct a well-rounded embodiment of Jefferson.

We don’t know if this was purposeful but can probably assume that because O Savin has been obscuring his face for some time now, that it wasn’t. Honestly, I don’t care if he was supposed to be JFK Jr or not. I care if someone is lying about the information they are providing. It makes no difference what walk of life you are, be a person of integrity.

To confirm what you may have seen floating around Telegram today… Just bumping along through some comments early this afternoon when I see someone post about Juan O Savin accidently showing his face during a Mike Jako interview. While searching for the video, I came across the actual LIVE interview. So I scrolled back to the beginning and around the 7-8 minute mark Juan’s feed cuts out. I had a feeling… so with my fingers twitching I waited for him to get back on. Sure enough, he showed his face, and I did capture it. The video has since been taken down.

Yes, prayer is the most powerful weapon known to man 🙏🏻🇺🇸

Psalm 91 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Today I have been thinking over and praying about the words in Psalm 91. Maybe it strikes a chord in your heart, too 👇🏻
