Knowing that I'll impact others as result of my obedience and commitment is deeply satisfying.
"'In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.'" (Genesis 22:18)

God's word says > "first of all" > 1 Timothy 2:1-4. So, to me this means how God is committed to making our prayer work . . . for blessing any and all people > not only for trying to use and control politicians to do what we want.

So, thank you for sharing God bless you, t

And, Jussie is diabolical if this was all his idea. Although, this screams of a psychological operation, precisely because of what people are being distracted from. The kicker is the object for which our attention is distracted is right in our faces as it always is.

What legislation is being passed right now?
What is happening in the Middle East, India, Russia and China with respect to the West?
What is the state of the economic health of the country: are interest rates still artificially low, or are they rising (there is no good option here).


Prejudice and hate is low-level mind control; if you indulge in the superficial sentiments set up for us, then you are part of the problem. It's much better to have people fight each other than to have "The Collective" focused on the real problems.

And, the Deep State is not the real problem; it is another distraction packaged just for us.

Yes. It's His agenda not ours. But when we place our wants before His we create problems for ourselves and those who follow.

Thank you. May Adonai bless and prosper the work of your hands.

A few weeks ago I shared an analogy about a tree. I stated how it can produce multiple branches of different shapes that create new branches of their own. Yet, they all hail from the same source. That's politics. There is no difference. There never was. It's the same tree.

And, the Deep State is not the real problem; it is another distraction packaged just for us.

All the stuff on YouTube and other places are planted. It's to keep your mind spinning or instill fear which leads to distraction and keeps you off kilter.

I posted this quote earlier and I'll share it with you. I've been discussing my mindset. You might enjoy it. ;-)

"I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting. I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course of victory. Two men are true equals only when they have equal confidence." —Arthur Golden

That's it in the nutshell.

This is a bit too pithy for most people to fully understand. That is not a dig at others; I am actually incredibly saddened (but thankful, I suppose) to be a witness to the incredible - for lack of a better word - "magic" being wielded on the population. Even more, it's scary considering I came from the same "place" (Wonderland). This is the last season of "America," at best the penultimate season. Yet, nothing has changed as I expected it. I didn't think it would be 1) this easy, and 2) this widespread the amount of hold entities would have in this time.

Anyway, yes. it is the same tree. The Most High God is willing to cut as many branches as necessary to save the entire tree - but since we are all from the same root system, we will all feel a portion of the "pruning" based on our amount of toxicity. Part of that toxicity is our willingness to be controlled by anything other than the Most High God.

I know what you mean, but let me inject my own sentiments based on what I hear you saying (for which I am more than open to receive correction).

About 90% of Youtube videos are misinformation, or disinformation (purposeful). Even in that 90% pool of youtube videos, the majority of uploaders meann well. The videos that are monetized are likely misinformation - since Youtube (owned by Google) will not pay people to tell any truth. Youtube also mirrors a lot of videos, and splits the view counts so that the videos with kernels of truth are hard to find.

This is all a seriously intricate game - which is why it only works against humans to be so immature as to have the social problems we have. For this reason, fear is an important motivator for some entities that cannot quite get the "pith" of the situation at hand. Although, I would say that once you have seen and accepted the world(s) for what they are, you can't really fear anything. Still, if one is serious, one needs genuinely seeks to break free of the magical spells over them, they need to be disciplined in their research and learning.



Now, for the same reasons people are able to be put under several spells, the same people will be hindered from rightly dividing the truth - which requires the Holy Spirit as a foundation.



That is it in a nutshell! 90% of war(s) is cold (no shots fired), and psychological.

Humans do not give themselves enough credit - ever. The Most High God was trying to get us to understand our magnificence when He told us He would be our God-King; we (instead) wanted other humans to rule over us - to be like other nations. *sigh*

Yet, nothing has changed as I expected it. I didn't think it would be 1) this easy, and 2) this widespread the amount of hold entities would have in this time.

I diagrammed their hold a few weeks ago. An industry would come to mind and I wrote down the three-headed dragon. All rulers. Whenever I discuss spiritual warfare on the site and mention spirits I'm naming rulers and indicating how to be freed. I can see it clearly. But I'm not called to deliverance. That has a price and I would be subject to harassment if it continued.


You can't eat from both trees. A few years ago during my quiet time the Parable of the Unjust Steward was the day's reading. And there was a line that struck me.

For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.

I chewed on it for a bit and determined to develop my shrewdness and reinforce my mind. Because I understood that's where the battle is fought and lost. And I became fastidious about what I read, heard, and allowed within the crawlspace between my ears. That has kept me from falling prey to deception and the numerous smokescreens we're encountering.


The problem is the leaven. Once you let it in you'll never get it out.


They need to surrender themselves to God. All-in. No hokey pokey. And stay in their lane. That alleviates most of the issues.


Psychological warfare is deep. But the Holy Spirit is the Chess Master. If you allow Him to train you He'll expand your mind in ways you never imagined.

I can say that the Redeemer will also train your body. IF one allows Him, one has access to the teaching of the Master of masters.

Submitting to Him and surrendering to the process is a must. I've had some interesting discussions today and an opportunity to see where I am and what it will take to reach the next level. Deeper requires a different iron and a willingness to forsake the familiar. To know you've exhausted a road and it's time to take another and that's where I am right now. He's doing a new thing. The old is done.

Yeah..sure. OP "wants to believe" Smollett but he just can't, all while knocking down liberal straw men for making "excuses for hating Donald Trump" (Crying Boohoo GIF - Tenor GIF Keyboard - Bring Personality To Your Conversations | Say more with Tenor).

This would be laughable if it weren't so transparent.

I'm withholding my judgment until all the facts come out. It's very easy to believe that Smollett faked an attack, but I'm not sure what he would gain from that, and with the CPD's history, I'm not all that willing to simply take them at their word.

Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct

"A person commits disorderly conduct when he or she knowingly ... (4) Transmits or causes to be transmitted in any manner to any peace officer, public officer or public employee a report to the effect that an offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed, knowing at the time of the transmission that there is no reasonable ground for believing that the offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed."

Yes. To reinforce that meme that Trump supporters are defacto racists.

That would be one motivation, yes.

Another could be, to draw attention to himself and create leverage to increase his bargaining power with his employer and or potential employers.

Agreed. He definitely took advantage of the bias the left has against Trump supporters....but I think it's all about increasing his bottom line by becoming a social justice role model.

What about the word of his two Nigerian associates? They admitted to perpetrating the attack on him at his request. They've lawyered up and are claiming that Smollett took advantage of them.

And to increase his fame by giving himself more publicity via the news media who just loves to talk about how Trump supporters are racist and "homophobic". He could build himself a group of sympathizers to feel sorry for him. After all, he's an ACTIVIST (his own words).
