TOPICS: Religion
KEYWORDS:
I am heartened by all those who attended marches in support of President Trump.

I'm watching states roll out lock downs and churches are still closed in many areas. I've wondered often why there has been so little resistance to the forbidding of gathering to pray and worship God.

An atheist friend asked me why we Christians weren't protesting - weren't we supposed to put our faith in God and move forward in such matters?

I think this video helps clarify that there IS a time for resistance. I think many churches and Christians are well-intentioned in this regard, and they don't want to displease God with resistance to church closures and other stripping of our rights because of verses like, "Give to Caesar, what is Caesar's".

I also think churches advice caution to their parishioners because they don't have the power to protect them from the abuses of government officials in their areas and they are trying to protect families from harm.

However, I believe the faith and understanding of many Christian denominations were blunted intentionally and I only became aware of this organized infiltration of Christianity around 2013. There've always been wolves in sheep's clothing - I'm referring to something new, more organized and darker.

That year, I became aware of some of the strange doctrines were spreading in formerly Christian churches. Some of the footage I viewed was outright demonic and required prayer to restore my peace. I talked to some around me and they advised that as the content was so toxic, I was not doing anyone any good by watching it.

It felt like I was pointing to a fire and others were telling me that I should not focus on it, that talking about it and watching videos about it only spread the toxin. I did not know what to do but avoiding it seemed wrong.

I watched the heart rending testimony of a preacher whose church in Russia had been overrun completely by bizarre heretical teachings.

The pastor struggled to describe formerly pious people in his congregation gleefully embracing demonic darkness and demanding the church acknowledge it. At some point in his incredible account of faith in God departing and Satanic influence entering in and taking over his church, this 70 year old dyed-in-the-wool pastor put his head down on the lectern and wept.

I started reviewing YOUTUBE videos for signs of this and the demonic emphasis on this new invading "faith" dressed up as Christianity was astounding. Nothing in my life had prepared me to contemplate what level of evil COULD publicly take root in an otherwise mainstream type Christian church!

Some of these "churches" were large and featured points in the "sermon" in which the congregants would howl and moan like demons. I watched a cell-phone recording made in the vestibule of the howling and raving of about 800 people in attendance and was astounded. I watched video of people transfixed in their "worship" of God alternative and they would at points involuntarily shake their heads and upper torso's like cobra's warning off other potential threat animals. This was taking place under the auspices of their Christian "church".

THese toxic roots bonded together in larger and larger alliances and ultimately, I few years ago I watched a few heads of these particular mega churches get together and pledge the loyalty of their churches to what looks like the One World Religion spoken of in the bible.

These "faith leaders" at the head of massive mega churches vowed to join hands in brotherhood with non-Christian faiths to become one in the name of peace. They claimed that this was God's command because he didn't want his children broken apart in life - we were all in God's family etc. In celebration, many in the congregation howled like animals, crawled on the floor and laughed drunkenly, only "drunk on the spirit". It was disturbing and bizarre.

Now with so many churches lying passive as the months stretch on and the Deep State governors still forbid them from functioning, I have to wonder if that dilution of faith I discovered in full swing in 2013 was a planned part of what would later become the coup attempt(s) of the past 5 years. They had to secure those "bitter-clingers" before they started their coup because we would have otherwise have resisted.

May God forgive and bless the United States even after we fell so far from Him. May his spirit, working in our own actions, force open the doors of our churches and lead us to demand our constitutional rights. May He lead us to protest "live birth abortions" and other crimes he expected us to refuse.

Faith is our oxygen and the Deep State is choking it off with more than just masks. We need to go back to church.

Dumb question.

Disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God.

No mention of Acts 5:29?

Every preacher I have met in the past 7 years (maybe 14) is armed and carry.

Five preachers (including Baptist) have said they have given a sermon telling the men that it is their duty to arm up to protect their families for the unknown that is coming.

One only needs to reflect on 1930/40’s European Jews and how that worked out.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego engaged in civil disobedience against Nebuchadnezzar II. Mordechai refused to obey Haman. Daniel disobeyed Darius.

So there's that.

“Five preachers (including Baptist) have said they have given a sermon telling the men that it is their duty to arm up”

“Including Baptist” is more like “particularly Baptist”.

*Most were Baptist.

One was showing me the AR he has giving a younger kin for Christmas.

I and others wondered over the years who the Zombies were.

Now I know they are the Left.
