Beloved fellow FReepers, it has come to my attention that I have great need of a pause from reading and commenting on the news of the day, and to engage heavily in the reading and study of Jesus' Word, His guidance and assurance of peace, and prayer and just talking to my Awesome Savior and Lord.
I love each and every one of you, and it is my highest hope that you all also take a break from the mental stress that this present evil world's constant attacks on mind and body represent because of Satan and his demonic forces. They cannot overcome a believer in Christ Jesus, but if you concentrate too much on the problems and not on The Source of Salvation and Victory, and True Peace and Love that the Lord Jesus gives to each and every one of of as His Children, we can quickly become what I'll call 'immune suppressed' because His Word is not full to overflowing within our spirits. This is healing.
Amen, and Praise His Holy Name, Amen!
God bless!
Psalm 1
King James Version
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
It is certainly interesting how we react when we can clearly see our beloved Country spiraling down the toilet and filled with people that are so spiritually blind to the truth of God that in their minds what is happening is a “good” thing. I think part of the problem lies in the fact that if we were truly “living in this world and not a part OF this world”, we would be far more excited by current events and less depressed by them than we are.
But unfortunately we DO care about the Country not only for our own sakes but for the children and their future children. Maybe part of that fear also has to do with the fact that believers eyes ARE mostly open to the evil behind the manipulation of peoples thought and attitudes towards the truth of God, and so it is all too obvious that not only are the godless people in this Country pointing it ever more towards the gates of Hell but they intend to attempt to even more fully brainwash the children in their woke socialist godless agenda. They are indeed just tools, their devotion to godlessness being used by the evil of this world to manifest any and all thought and institutions against God and His truth.
So how to balance our concerns for the Country against our hope for the coming end time events?
Prayers...be well!
The news is designed as a product to create constant agitation. It is wise to remove oneself from this wickedness. Godspeed.
But it is good for us to bring our beliefs here and share them with others. We all need to see changes in this country and praying together gives us strength together.
God Bless. Here’s a favorite of mine. Romans
38 For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nothing already in existence and nothing still to come, nor any power,
39 nor the heights nor the depths, nor any created thing whatever, will be able to come between us and the love of God, known to us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Prayers to you. I was always amazed at how Rush did what he did day after day without having a breakdown.
I urge you brother to reflect carefully on Psalm 37.
Edify your heart, mind, and soul with the Word, then share who you are with the world.
I hear you my FRiend!
I understand exactly what you are saying...the state of the world is getting to me as well.
A prayer for you :-)
ok.
Take care.
I have done a version of that since the election. Instead of the news, I’ve been listening to Thru the Bible, David Jeremiah, Joyce Meyer, and Robert Jeffress. Then my own time in the Word and prayer. Wonderful way to start the day, much better than yelling at the TV.
Satan is working overtime because he knows his time is short. Fear not. We know how it ends. Hang on to Jesus. Maranatha!
I have to say after seeing the election stolen by fraud and the ensuing depravity of the left takeover, my thinking has drawn in much closer to my property boundaries.
Too much stress comes from obsessing over things we cannot control.
Boy. Wow.... I should do that. Right now I can hardly think straight after Psaki, the stimulus bill, Rachel Levine confirmation, a friends son in law having a near fatal reaction to the Moderna vaccine.... a voice is telling me to get drunk and i cant do that.
Praying for you, Jesus has you in His arms.
I will; I’m going to start Journaling again, there’s so much The Lord teaches you when you just write out what’s on your mind, and then do your Bible Study and it’s awesome how you find answers to each and every thing that’s bothering you.
I love Jesus so much! Miracle after miracle...
My mother-in-law, who has been wanting to move into low-cost housing /apartment for a long time to prevent being homeless, I’ve been praying that she’d get the apartment.
Yesterday, she moved into a very nice, spacious place that she can have all her cherished furnishings, pictures and be able to cook again. She’s been living in shelters, with her youngest daughter, and near me for months.
The Lord Jesus Christ answers our prayers. He loves us more than we can possibly imagine. My husband and me have been blessed so much, and we do our utmost to help others. To see someone smile, laugh, or rejoice over help in time of need is so absolutely wonderful!
Have an awesome, Blessed day!
A believer in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that you can be saved, beloved fellow FReeper.
