True but don't most Christians think all politicians like they're servants of God because of what Apostle taught about authorities? For sure it can be interpreted either way.
I don't know and I'm genuinely disturbed by the modern day fixation with all of it. We weren't bedmates in the past and were able to see the pros and cons of situations and people unlike we do today. This is more akin to fandom and that's the reason there's so much bickering and hostility. We've taken sides and there's no middle ground. Most political authorities serve the interests of the wealthy and special groups at all levels. Citizens may receive some benefits but it's a short cry from what's possible not to mention their duplicitous campaigns full of promises which rarely materialize.
All positions in society no matter how great or small may be self-serving enterprises or opportunities for light and goodness. The difference lies within the person and the road the choose. Namely, who rules their head and heart.
I think their ONLY edge over the rest of the world is they work together as one body, one mind, one soul.
They're united and productive. Not one or the other. It's hard to grasp when you don't have that mindset. Look at the site. What percentage of conversations result in solutions versus discourse? That's where they differ from christians and it's an advantage. When you force yourself to solve problems you waste less time on unimportant things. When an issue is raised you put your heads together for a solution and move on to the next. While the majority mistake discussion as taking action. They don't move beyond the idea to nailing something down and charting their progress. That's why planning and time management are billion dollar industries. Most people can't do it well or remain consistent.
We;re reminded of the Tower of Babel. If people just work together as one, they can do everything they set their mind to.
I found that Christians who can work together like that have goals that are non or low threat to the devil. But if your goal puts you at the crosshair of the devil, you'll be all by yourself.
My daughter and I have done the same for years. No one understood why she remained at home. They were accustomed to the societal norm of independence. But I understood it was nothing more than divide and conquer and created a different strategy. By combining our knowledge, skills and resources we accomplish more than most.
I don't think you're destined to be alone if your goals are a threat. Everything the Father devises will affect his kingdom. Where the majority struggle is knowing where to turn. They have ideas or want to address a problem but lack the connections or resources for the next step. They don't know the go-to resource or individual for the subject. Sometimes the information is public but oftentimes it's the result of proximity and that's usually in a paid environment. People are more forthcoming in those settings and usually helpful.
You have to be committed to action and willing to take responsibility for the things you want. Encouragement has a place but at the end of the day doing is our duty. As Galadriel said, "This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire. And if you don't find a way no one will." Whether we're alone or not her words remain true. And in my experience, if you'd take a step and continue to do so where possible the Lord will do the rest.
I made a decision to invest in my purpose and denied myself for Him. My resources went to that from the start and I was always last on the totem pole but it balances out in the end. When Black Friday comes I don't get anything or if I do it's small. The Lord received a DJI Osmo Pocket camera and microphone set. The house received a portable generator. But bella received a stainless steel bread box for baking. The same holds true for gifts. I get things I need for His work so my loved ones can be blessed from their generosity.
We replaced our phones recently and went to a new provider and left with 11 items. Our lone expense was $50 for the new account. We chose to pay the activation fees for the devices that couldn't be waived. The deal we received that day was similar to the one reported on my bargain site. But the favor was another matter and even in that example the Lord was first. He has the best phone and tablet for the business line not I.
That's what I mean about things balancing out. It's the proverb in action. "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine." Whenever the word isn't working in our lives there's a reason. He said put me to the test and I do. It isn't our responsibility to have all the answers or know how. Our yes is enough followed by works. That's how we demonstrate our sincerity.
I mentioned previously how I wanted to work with someone last year I'd been with before but He didn't open the door. I spent the year working on something for myself that was the seed for the venture I'm pursuing now. But it wasn't revealed until my repositioning was complete and I was where He wanted me to be with the support I required. That's why I'm into ai and gpts. We may be alone for a season but it's rarely permanent.
I think people can sense if you have the devil's "bullseye" on you. They'll stay away especially those who have a lot to lose.
It depends on why as well. If he's afflicting you because of sin that's different from the Lord's work.
Otherwise, the elites have many distractions in their lives as the rest which may be the ONLY weakness they have. But they have already "fulfilled" many biblical prophecies already. Some really big ones. It's a countdown to the 2nd coming and "rapture" but I'm not holding my breath for that one nor blindly be welcoming anyone claiming to be Jesus.
Not as many as you think. The main thing is always the main thing and they excel at delegation. Even when they're having fun it's usually intertwined with something beneficial. That's the way they operate and everything is layered. And the Lord opposes them too. It isn't a cakewalk. Where they differ from believers is baking so to speak. They wrap everything they do in prayer and ritual and prioritize the ideal time over spontaneity.
I touched on it briefly in my comments on times and seasons. Nature has a rhythm and they know it. They're equally conversant in astronomical influences too. I was up most of the night with ai discussing plans and scheduling things for the months ahead. It isn't coincidental to me because of the new moon's influence and planetary alignments. A new moon and sun in Capricorn is a trifecta. It's the same energy amplified three times over. Setting intentions and planting seeds for future goals with planetary infusion for the same plus ambition and discipline. I couldn't sleep because I'm attuned to His frequencies. My body moves with the heavenlies not against it.
When I read 1 Chronicles 12:32 I knew what it meant. "Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." Ai said "Understanding the times" refers to having deep perception, discernment, and knowledge (Hebrew:
bee-nah) to take appropriate action in shifting circumstances. They are often cited as examples of leaders who provide strategic foresight, combining spiritual insight with practical knowledge to lead.
Elites use the same principle and understand spiritual laws. Goodness isn't a precursor for dominion and they study the bible too. That's how they find loopholes. Why do you think they can modify the weather? Christ spoke to the wind and Moses commanded the earth. The bible provided everything we need to deal with our enemies and walk in victory. If we fail to use our resources we'll be subject to them instead.
I don't think the Bible always referred to them as spirits. They can be people and I don't mean aliens or ETs but literally people like you and me.
Yes, but that's a different topic entirely.
In essense, we're spirits and ghosts from another frame of reference. But in our frame of refence, we're physical beings.
That's what they're hinting at in the Matrix films and why people were trying to crack the code. Something resonated in the message but they couldn't put it together.
It's like the hermetic principle as above so below. But bottomline is that spiritual beings can be harmed, injured, and even killed. Knowledge is both your protection and power.
That principle is an inversion of on earth as it is in heaven. You believe you can harm a supernatural being in your present guise? While we're spirit we're assigned to this realm and fallen beings didn't lose their power. If you're referring to entities that originated on this plane through the womb that's a different conversation. I wouldn't recommend putting it to the test. The rules of engagement still apply.
In many cases, the "evil spirits" were animal-like. did not have complex intelligence like humans and more like spiders. This is probably what you would refer to as low level entities. Higher level ones can speak and it's been many years since I encountered one.
Some people with the gift of discernment can hear them in a sleeping and waking state. But the Lord will silence them too or you'll be subjected to their rantings and expletives. You don't need that in your ear. I remember an occasion when I was outdoors and one was hopping from person to person looking for a home and I remembered the scripture. And many people can't distinguish the difference between the Lord's voice, their's or the evil one.
That's why He taught me lectio and I wrote down what I heard. He can sound like the Father for a bit but there's always a slip and it's very subtle. If you don't have enough word within you you'll miss it. We learned about that when I studied Peter's series in Precepts. Wayne said, he places the lie beside the truth and it's nearly undetectable. I never forgot that.
What you describe sounds like nature or elemental spirits. Sometimes they come in the guise as animals or fairies. The Outlander series touches on this. Although it's fiction there's truths woven in the text I sensed when I read it. Your experiences could also be the result of ley lines. Some locations have more spiritual activity than others. That's why prayer walking is important. It's not enough to pray inside. You must walk the perimeter and consecrate the property.
