Comments from L and J: I'm observing a lot of infighting from significant channels. / What’s concerning me is the bashing among like-minded patriots. It hurts me to see it, not sure what to make of it. I feel your frustration. We’re left to guessing about what exactly is going to happen next, when it’s going to happen, and who is behind it. Tensions are high and patience is waning. When we are waging a war for the hearts and souls of mankind, we don’t care to wade through someone’s posts to discover if there is merit for their criticism of another. It’s not pleasant reading posts and comments that is nasty towards someone we enjoy following. Sometimes the negative commentary is petty and irrelevant. Sometimes we need to be made aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. How is the channel host handling these disharmonies? Are they letting you come to your own conclusions (you know, treating you like an adult)? Or are they consistently carping about the same people? The latter could be a jealousy problem, and we have to consider if that’s a temporary situation (we give others grace for their imperfections); or is it a maturation problem that needs serious attention outside the boundaries of Telegram. Thankfully we decide what we will tolerate and who will get our time. The word discernment gets thrown around a lot. So much so that I’m concerned the meaning is losing value. Many, many moons ago I was praying for God to show me the truth as I was sorting through all the Cabal/Deep State information. After a prompt from the Holy Spirit, I changed my prayer from the truth to His truth. It’s made all the difference! I continue to pray for His truth, and I pray for Him to keep the love of His truth strong in my heart. How about a friendly challenge? For the next week instead of praying for discernment, pray for His truth to be revealed to you. Replace the word discernment with His truth. See if doing this brings you more in alignment with God and brings you fresh eyes to the world around you. Know that as we strive to love His truth, He will increase our knowledge. And with this knowledge we will readily see those we need to sever ties with and those we need to connect with.

I was asked a few more times about channel recommendations. Here is a post from a few months ago I will share again: Q: … Who do you recommend we follow or not follow on Telegram? A: Rather than provide you a laundry list for the two categories you mentioned, please allow me to respond in a different way. Ask yourself questions such as: - Does the channel’s content make me feel stressed out, anxious, worried or extremely angry after visiting? - Does the channel’s content resonate with me on a gut level most of the time, some of the time or rarely? - Does the channel post information that is inaccurate or make claims without documentation? - Does the channel’s host admit mistakes or retract erroneous information? - Does the channel make me feel comfortable enough to engage/comment? - Does the channel’s owner handle contrary opinions well, or do they shutdown differing points of views? - Does the channel’s host make condescending comments to their subscribers or about those other than The Cabal? - Does the channel come up with original content, or are they passing along the same information as other channels? [You could pare down channels that post the same stuff] - Does it bother you to see graphic images of the Deep State’s deeds, especially without warning? - Does the channel post humorous sexual innuendo memes you find offensive? - Does the channel post adult graphics and humor, and use foul language (regularly) then later post a Bible verse or invoke God? [This is pandering] - Does the channel’s host have myopic views? Are they a critical thinker? - Does the channel’s host truly promote self-determination, private property, free market solutions, free speech and free association? - Does the channel challenge you to dig deeper? Be better? Help others? I am not suggesting that you should agree with all the opinions of the channel owner. In fact, disagreeing on a few things allows you to contemplate other perspectives and helps hone your own point of views. The host’s personality is obviously going to influence the content posted. But, overall a channel should not leave you consistently feeling dejected, lonely, panicked, frustrated or empty-handed. If it is, you may need to reevaluate what is important to you. I would think the stress of wading through the insincere to find the authentic isn’t worth your valuable time or having your peace stolen. We all have a role in securing our liberty so it’s important for us to engage with one another. I hope you feel comfy enough here (and elsewhere) to share your impressions and ideas.

Whoa 😮 I didn't know military planes could do that 👇🏻

Question from L. - I believe we are still supposed to live our earthly lives and do and say and protest, etc. because we are not in heaven yet and God hasn’t come for us yet. Are my earthly dreams, plans and ambitions all for not because ‘He’s coming’? As I wrote above, it’s God who is the author of our passions, our talents, our temperaments. He’s also the author of our dreams. Not the dreams that would drive a wedge between us and Him, but the dreams for our betterment and for the benefit of others. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This is a promise from God, Who gives His unfailing love, Who looks for reasons to bless us. This is not something those whimsical, but diabolical Greek gods would utter. This is directly from the Most High, the Living God, the Creator of the Universe, the One Who sent His only Son to redeem us. When we seek Him with our whole heart, when we make His will our will, then we can pursue our dreams because He is the origin of these dreams.

In high school I had a jerk of a teacher, his misogynism masked by, “This is what God says.” I challenged him all the time, our disagreements were frequent and legendary. During one particular discussion I asked him, “If God intended for women to never handle a checkbook or drive a car; if God only created them so they could cook, clean and have babies; if God doesn’t want them to pursue a hobby or work outside the home at some point… then why would He give talents to women? Why would He plant the passion in us to sing, to create, to invent, to analyze, to teach, to help? Why would He give us brains and talents and not expect us to use them for His glory?” Because we are made in His image, we are made to be compassionate, made to help others, made to want heavenly justice, made to have a personal relationship with our Creator. To ignore any of these qualities is folly. We will face the giants, the storms, the trials, the masters with their whips, the imprisonments, the false accusations, the hostilities, the divisions. And we are absolutely beckoned to call out evil and cast it out. God is the author of our passions, our talents, our temperaments. In the same way a bird singing or the sun rising or the flower blooming gives Him pleasure, He is pleased when we act on the very abilities He gives us. When we do what He sets in our hearts, He will come along side of us, He will multiply our efforts, He will bless us.

Question from L. - Are we supposed to just not do anything ‘earthly’ because we know that God is all powerful and will take care of it all? … Are we as God’s children supposed to speak up, protest and be diligent in saying no to wrongs? I have no idea when God is coming, but my family seems to be saying we need to be quiet about everything and just let God do His thing. What if we are actually part of His thing? It sounds like you already have this figured out, L. as indicated by the questions you’ve asked. So stand resolute, confident in the answers God has already provided you. Remember: Job faced hardships we cannot fathom. He worshipped God anyway, trusting Him. Noah knew he would be troubled by the ungodly for obeying God. He was obedient anyway, trusting God. Abraham left everything behind to follow God’s call. The future was unknown, but he was obedient anyway, trusting God. King David prayed and fasted for his son to be healed. He knew the child may die but did it anyway, trusting God’s final answer. Esther knew the consequences of approaching King Xerxes with her request. She did it anyway, trusting God. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew the consequences for disobeying King Nebuchadnezzar’s decree. They did it anyway, trusting God. Daniel knew the consequences for disobeying King Darius’s decree. He did it anyway, trusting God. The Old Testament prophets knew their outreach would not always be successful. They shared His word anyway, trusting God. Mary knew the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy would cause an upheaval. Yet, she told Gabriel she was the Lord’s servant, trusting God. Christ knew His sacrifice would not save everyone. He died anyway, trusting His Father’s plan. The apostles knew the risks of spreading the Gospel of Christ. They did it anyway, trusting God. All knew God could change their course, change their circumstances, change their outcome for the better at any moment. They acted despite the abysmal conditions.

Yesterday was a much needed day of not doing any social media. My husband had a huge pile of dirt delivered a couple of months ago, and he’s been slowly spreading that around for various projects. There’s something about dirt that draws kids the way nectar does for honeybees. I watched my five year-old experiencing pure joy playing in that big ol’ dirt pile. I watched by husband work in the yard. I read books and cuddled with my eight year-old. I played some board games with my 13 year-olds, relishing the ebb and flow of organic conversations. I hope it was a wondrous day for you as well. Please know that I make every effort to read all your comments. (It often dictates what the posts will be about.) There are some questions asked of me that deserve sincere thought –and I am working on addressing those concerns. If you have something to share or a question to ask, but don’t get a response, please inquire again or send me private message as I may have missed it. Of course, y’all have made the sweetest community here and someone is certain to reply as well.

Hello Sweet Friends... I’m going to throw out a crazy idea (!) to y’all. What if... we took today off from social media, from all the news? No red piling anyone either 😘 A day for doing something that reflects the things you’re grateful for, such as working on your favorite hobby, or reading a book, or cooking or baking some comfort food, or taking a nap. Hang out with friends or family. Or do nothing at all. Walk barefoot in the grass. Sit outside with your favorite drink. Watch the leaves fall, the squirrels frolic, the clouds float by. Or close your eyes, listen to the birds speaking. Even if it’s just for a few hours. Do this for yourself. God bless you.

People were bringing little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them and blessed them. - Mark 10:13-16
