Choose Life

Sally

I need to be vulnerable with you now by giving a realistic snapshot of where I was at in my life when I got the breast cancer diagnosis. I am a stay-at-home mom who’s kids are middle school age and attend school full time (tough job some might say). I’ve been happily married for fourteen years to a wonderful, kind, and generous man. When I say happily I really mean it, we don’t fight much, we are solid and I believe our relationship is one of the happiest I know. I am provided for and I want for nothing. There is no stress in my life, no big conflicts, no quantifiable unhappiness to dwell on. Basically, I’m living the dream. But, deep down that old Peggy Lee tune would creep into my subconscious; “Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing, let’s break out the booze and have a ball, If that’s all, there is.” And I really was breaking out the booze, a lot of it, because I was meant for something more, something bigger than myself, something with eternal satisfaction and reward and I couldn’t find it. The booze could give the illusion I was living a big life but it always left me feeling empty and small the next morning. I was giving up on my boys (and my husband). My thinking has been, if my husband doesn’t believe in God then all my efforts to lead the boys spiritually is really for nothing. They look to John for the example and the values that they are going to model their lives after and if he repeatedly shows them that God is not important to him, then statistics show God is not going to be important to them either. I was giving up territory and spiritual authority in my home and it was starting to show. I was depressed and not really living, I was weary, pushed down and pressed out. My biggest source of frustration comes from the television. I believe that television is an instrument of the devil to break up families, to mind control the narrative in politics and belief systems, a means to lure people into a passivity that focus’ only on the next game, the next play off, the next season, the next “whatever” while people forget to get outside and actually live the next game, do the next thing for themselves rather than plugging in and watching others do it. We were in a family rut and I could not see any way out of it. Then cancer enters stage right and suddenly life really IS short. It was a bucket of cold water in the face of zombie-like habits. Was I going to fight or was I going to be done. It’s tempting to be done. I joked with my husband, “Hey, it’s been great, but bye now.” Because I’ve been terrified to see my boys grow up to renounce their faith, or not engage in it. I’ve been terrified that they would dive off the safe path straight into harms way because I had failed them as a mother. I was tempted to skip the end of the movie and go straight to heaven where life’s pain wouldn’t be a reality I would have to deal with anymore. This is the emotional space I was in when I first faced cancer.

No, cancer is not a death sentence, I realize that. But it’s also not wine, roses and endless sunsets. It’s a health crisis and it requires serious attention. It can have deadly consequences and it is a wake up call. As I tell John and the boys the diagnosis, I can see it shift something in our home. I can see it begin to reprioritize the important things above the unimportant. It nags at us all the time, asking us if this is really how we want to spend our time or is there a better option to be had. It often asks, “Do you choose life today and what does that look like.”

Anne Graham Lotz addresses this in a blog titled  What Cancer Can Do. She writes,
“Cancer can . . . Enrich love
Cancer can . . . Refocus hope
Cancer can . . . Strengthen faith
Cancer can . . . Deepen prayer
Cancer can . . . Command peace
Cancer can . . . Bolster confidence
Cancer can . . . Increase endurance
Cancer can . . . Multiply friendships
Cancer can . . . Enhance memories
Cancer can . . . Open doors
Cancer can . . . Realign priorities
Cancer can . . . Grow courage
Cancer can . . . Create empathy
Cancer can . . . Tenderize compassion
Cancer can . . . Develop character
Cancer can be a blessing in disguise.
Cancer can be the preliminary to bearing much eternal fruit.
Cancer can be a display case for God’s glory.”

Anne is so right! This Fearless Journey Into The Unknown is exactly what I’ve been looking for, a way forward out of the fog by heading straight into it. A significant path riddled with hard choices emerged that has the potential to bring refinement and purpose where there was stagnation and despair. This diagnosis has the potential to bring change to my whole family, not just me. It could touch anyone and everyone who knows me or comes in contact with me. A cancer journey has the right amount of “moanies” already built in. If I let God take control and lean into the pain and uncertainty those “moanies” have the capability to come together and make a most beautiful testimony.

The blessings abound just like Anne described.

Enriched love, you have no idea. My husband has been caring for me in a way I didn’t even know was part of his DNA. He can’t bear seeing me in pain and when the pain is too much and all I can do is let the tears flow he so tenderly strokes my skin and just holds me. I’ve never been in such a vulnerable place before, and he has never needed to care for me before. How were we ever going to know just how deep and selfless our love is if we hadn’t had the blessing of it being threatened to be cut off prematurely or without trial?

Refocused hope is back in my home. I have hope and renewed strength to take back my spiritual authority. I am still the sanctified wife and I have the hope to continue to walk under that pressure. I have so much new vision for revival right in my own backyard. As the Bible says.

Proverbs 13:12 NLT. “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.”

I am ready to see my dreams fulfilled!

Strengthened faith is exactly what has emerged because God has been showing up big by personally showing me He cares, He loves, He heals. There is nothing like a personal encounter with the Lord Himself. I invited Him in to shed light on these dark times and He gladly comes in and does what only He can do.

Deepened prayer has naturally occurred because my prayer life has suddenly became way more focused. I now know what I need to be fighting for, asking for and giving thanks for. It’s become so clear what I need to work on, repent of and be delivered from. I desire to be a part of the billion soul revival, I still want to do the spiritual warfare necessary to establish His Kingdom here on earth. I draw so much comfort from my prayer life because it has deepened my relationship with Him. There are long, sleepless nights and I find peace by talking to God the whole night through. I just lay my head on His chest and let Him keep me until morning.

Commanded peace comes from releasing all that I can not control into the hands of Him who can. I can control very little that these cancer treatments throw my way but I can trust that He is shielding me and lifting me up. As I submit my fears, my pain, my uncertainty to Him I find peace that exceeds anything I can understand (Philippians 4:7 NLT). If I know that even death has no sting because of my belief in Jesus, I have nothing to be concerned about (1 Corinthians 15:55 NLT).

Bolstered confidence has come out of the hair loss. I was losing so much hair and my scalp has been so sensitive that I ended up having my sister shave it all off. Going out in public actually looking “sick” has been something I want to shy away from but hey, I’m still here and this is temporary so I’m just doing it. My girlfriend always says, “We’re doing it live!” and she is so right. I worry about my husband being turned off by me. Let’s face it, I look like a molting turkey. But, he only leans in to kiss me with more compassion than ever because he sees the toll this treatment is taking on my body when I was so apparently healthy to start. It builds my confidence in his love.

Increased endurance is a no-brainer. At the half way mark, I’ll be honest, I have zero interest in pursuing anymore of these treatments. I had an allergic reaction to one of the chemo drugs that caused me to struggle breathing, flush out and feel like I was about to float out of the room. The Benadryl they quickly gave me added the shakes and some nausea to boot. There are dangerous complications that can occur but again who knows if and what those might be for your particular situation. All you can do is just do the next thing and deal with whatever may come your way. I am doing the marathon not the mile. The week long recovery can only be accomplished one day at a time, one hour at time. It’s pointless to worry about what tomorrow might bring.

Matthew 6:34 NLT “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

Multiplied friendships has been the best part of this. I have been lacking in the friendship department. I have my tight group of devoted, long-standing friendships but I do not have a large collection of fun girlfriends that you can have a girl’s night out with or hit the streets of Vegas with. I long for that jovial, witty laughter and freedom that only certain girlfriend groups can offer. I think after a certain age you just settle into a family routine and you forget who you were as an independent woman. When you are in a health crisis and you need help and support, that help and support seems to appear out of the most unpredictable people. The people who have shown up at this time really have proven to me that those fun times and friendships are waiting to be cultivated if I will just pay attention and say, “yes”.

Enhanced memories, most definitely. I go to endless baseball games for my son and I’m thankful to be there when before I found it a drudgery. We take a walk as a family and it suddenly feels special. I get to drive my son to and from school, I realize now that I’ve been missing that “chore”. It’s all a matter of perspective. These things feel like a privilege now, not something to be taken for granted.

Cancer has opened up doors and avenues and groups of people to me that I would never otherwise had access to. I’ve suddenly found a new platform to express myself and new territory to explore. There is new wisdom and understanding to be gleaned from a whole group of women that have gone through cancer before me. There are places I’ve never been that I’m suddenly frequenting and because of that I’m being introduced to new faces. All of these new exposures have the potential to open doors to endless possibilities.

Realigned priorities is a must. I can’t leave the house for so many weeks at a time that when I finally can I make sure it’s for the best reasons. I’m a compulsive house cleaner, now I don’t have the energy to waste on some of that stuff. I’d rather go have lunch with a friend. Working out has always been a priority but I’ve found myself doing yard work on that hot day instead. I could spend my days in bed watching endless shows and movies but instead I’ve found it a joy to work on this blog. Time is a commodity and I’m more motivated than ever to spend it wisely.

Courage is being grown and stretched and demanded with each visit to the cancer clinic. Being pumped full of drugs is not an ideal thing to have to endure no matter what the desired outcome is. Wearing the DigniCap is uncomfortable at best and having an adverse reaction to something is always a possibility. The after effects can be a moving target, what you felt one week isn’t necessarily going to be the norm for the next. You have to have courage to keep going back. You have to have courage to shave your head. You have to have courage to share your story. With each new stretch of yourself you find that you are way more capable than you might have thought possible. There is a fighting warrior inside of you and with each new brave step, she emerges.

I thought that I was an empathetic person but I realize now that I didn’t have a clue. If you haven’t been through something yourself, trust me, you don’t know what that person is going through. Even my wildest imagination did not prepare me for this cancer journey. I feel ashamed for all the dumb stuff I’ve probably said over the years to people going through stuff. No one has offended me or said anything to me that was wrong, I just now know what I didn’t know before. I have been brought to a place of deep humility in all of this. My empathy has been deepened because of this first hand knowledge.

Tenderized compassion goes hand in hand with the empathy. I never knew just how difficult these different treatments can be and how it affects the whole family and friend nucleus. You are surrounded by people going through tough times. It might not be cancer specifically but whatever it might be can be devastating that stranger’s life and all they hold dear. There is an unknown lurking behind every person you meet, an unknown stress perhaps, a loss, or a trouble. Why is the cashier being super short and unprofessional? Why is your kid’s teacher missing a ton of school days? Why is your neighbor reluctant to say hi at the mailbox? It’s not always about us. We need compassion for the unseen pain in people’s lives. I need a free pass sometimes and I’ve been much more willing to give out free passes because I have learned that everyone is struggling with something and just because I’m not privy to the exact nature of the struggle doesn’t mean I shouldn’t extend the curtesy of compassion anyway.

All of these lessons come out of the fire of refinement and so does the development of character. The lessons can be painfully learned or easily applied. They can be had begrudgingly or welcomed with open arms. Either way, they will be learned. And if you miss the lesson now, believe me, it will keep presenting itself in different ways until you get it. I’d rather try to be a good student but even so I’ve had to see things from many different angles before I could say I’ve learned that specific lesson. We can get so wrapped up in our own stuff that we fail to see those suffering around us. Jesus wants us to love people the way He does and it starts with seeing the need so that we can fill it, come along side it, or point it back to Him.

It’s so weird to say this but cancer can heal. I’m living proof of that. I am revived. I am willing. I am excited. I choose life!

The Red Pill

Sally

I’ve been very unsure of how or where to start. How do you begin to explain a journey that took me to the pits of hell, around three or four times and back again? My head exploded on several occasions and I was close to losing my faith more than once. Seeing our world for what it really is can be excruciating and knowing that we rub elbows with absolute evil on a daily basis can be extremely unsettling. My heartbreak came from a place of true patriotism, because I have loved America and all that I thought she stood for and upheld (liberty and justice for all). As I struggled deciding where to begin, I realized that it matters not. This journey is like a gigantic tangle of yarn knotted and frayed and beyond straightening out. It doesn’t matter where I begin because if you pull on any one little stray thread it all leads back to this one common denominator. Any one subject followed will eventually link up to all the other subjects which all tie back to the beginning, the very beginning, when Satan and his fallen angles first appear on earth with their insatiable desire to kill, steal, destroy and to be worshiped in the process. We’ve been so completely lied to that it’s going to be hard to accept. People we have learned to trust since birth have been quietly undoing our country, our society, our security and most importantly our knowledge of God.

This moment, right now, is straight from the movie The Matrix when Morpheus sits down with Neo and say’s, “After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”

Now it’s your turn. It’s time for you to decide which “pill” you take. You can stop reading now, take the blue pill, and lull yourself back to unconscious sleep comforted by a false sense of security, resuming the sheeple life of complacency with the rest of the herd and stand down until evil is actually physically knocking at your door (if it will even give you the courtesy of a knock). **DISCLAIMER** If this is what you choose I think you should know at what risk. There is a spiritual reality that you or your loved ones could lose their way through a shattering of faith and hope or by succumbing to the enemies tactics of fear mongering. There are also physical risks such as disruptive brain function or avoidable illness and disease, not to mention the risk of losing freedoms both physical and constitutional. Lastly, if you choose to remain ignorant you are also forfeiting a once in a lifetime opportunity to join forces with God’s remnant of people fighting the most epic battle we will ever see in our lifetime.

Or choose to be brave by taking the red pill, all the while seeking God, His wisdom, His discernment and His protection!

Red pill incoming . . . Here, swallow my friend, and know that you won’t be alone on this journey. The truth is ugly at times but also very exciting. Your spiritual life will never be the same after this, but my hope for you is that it will be better because God is sovereign and Almighty and loving and gracious. He wrote the end of His book the Bible and He wins, not Satan. We have a call to heed and it’s for each and every one of us to stand up and fight! The bottom line is, it’s in GOD we trust. If at any time you start to freak (and you will) please remember we are not called to be afraid but to put on the full armor of God. Go back and read my blog titled Armor of God for points about what that looks like. It’s time to grow our faith, to wake up and help others to wake up as well. Let’s do this thing.

Because it doesn’t really matter where I start (all roads lead to the same location), I’ll start at my own beginning, my own red pill experience, and let the cards fall where they may. I have had rumblings in my spirit, whisperings of truth and unanswered questions throughout my life but I had never vocalized them to anyone. I assumed that I wasn’t smart enough to understand certain things and that maybe there was information out there that I just wasn’t privy to or capable of comprehending. Couple that with certain subjects being very unappealing to my personality or outside my personal interests and you will see how I went about my life not really paying attention to things like politics, science, or astronomy. I have always been very trusting of our government, government agencies, military, police and Christian leaders alike. I’m a “rule follower” and type A personality but still someone who reads a lot and pursues free thinking. It was when Donald J. Trump and Hillary Rodham Clinton announced they were running for President that I perked up. I have always voted from the time I was old enough, appreciating my right to do so, but I had never felt like my vote made much of a difference. Then Franklin Graham, the Christian evangelist, started touring the United States calling on people to repent of our sins and to repent on behalf of the sins of our Nation. His tour helped me understand where politics were interfering with my personal beliefs and those belief systems. I began to see that voting one candidate over another could help undo certain biblical injustices and that I had a responsibility to vote in such a way that underscored God’s law over human preferences. It was then that I started to see a line in the political sand being drawn. This line was become more and more prominent as the debates became more and more about globalism and liberalism instead of the preservation of our Constitution. I had always thought of myself as an Independent but as the political race was unfolding I realized I needed to pick a side and it needed to be based on personal beliefs measured against God’s own Word and not on the premise of being “politically correct”. I needed to stop being worried about hurting someone else’s feelings because of their beliefs but instead become worried that my own belief’s were about to be persecuted and stifled. Listening to Hillary talk and watching her on TV actually physically frightened me but I knew nothing about Donald J. Trump other than what the Main Stream Media (MSM) was saying about him and that scared me too. I prayed a lot prior to that election. I know a lot of people were praying and that if you weren’t voting for Hillary then you weren’t saying who you were voting for because you would be ostracized like nothing else. So, I looked at all the issues that each candidate supposedly stood for and I voted for Donald J. Trump.

This is when things started to get weird. Donald J. Trump won the presidency. He wasn’t supposed to win, and according to the MSM he wasn’t winning right up until the last second when they finally had to concede that he indeed DID win. All their supposed polls and figures and early calculations had Hillary winning no problem.

James Barrett reporting with The Daily Wire on November 9, 2016 states, “On the morning of the election, Real Clear Politics’ average of the national polls showed Clinton with a 3.3% national lead over Trump and a projected Electoral College victory of 272 to 266. Instead, Clinton ended up with only a 0.2% popular vote advantage and suffering a devastating 232 to 306 loss. At no point before the election did the state poll averages show Trump winning the necessary 270 electoral votes.”

I had felt defeated long before the election actually took place thinking I was one of the last people on this planet who valued things like life, 2nd amendment rights, fixing the root of certain problems regardless of being called a “racist”, supporting our sister-in-Christ Israel, bringing our jobs back into our country, and respecting and caring for our veterans. It seems now that I wasn’t alone, instead I was part of what has been called “the silent majority”. What causes us to be silent? The fear of being labeled and misunderstood by our friends, family or neighbors comes to mind. I have a lot of respect for other people’s opinions and beliefs but I’ve found that if mine are not in agreement then I am not allowed that same respect. Thankfully we can still vote our truth behind a curtain in the privacy of a ballot box, and that’s what the majority of America did.

Then Trump takes office and the weirdness just gets worse. MSM seems unwilling to acknowledge that a majority of our Nation voted this man into office and they started running wild with negative narratives and false accusations that seemed to be fueled out of a childlike spitefulness. All the while, really bad things were coming to light about the Clinton Foundation, HRC herself because of a Uranium One deal and unsecured email servers, there was even some shady things surfacing about a $400 million Iran cash deal that implicated Obama and his administration but the MSM was too preoccupied to do much with that news because it was so busy spinning a Russian collusion story like a last ditch effort to usurp Trump. This was my first taste of the red pill. I have had almost zero interest in politics other than trying to make an educated vote. I have always listened to the news with reserved horror because of all the bad things happening in the world, in my country, in my state or my town. I have never once entertained the idea that the news media could be misdirecting me by reporting in an impartial way and never that they were lying to me but by golly if it wasn’t right there undeniably in my face. And as I watched this thing unfold with new discerning eyes, other players started coming on the scene – Hollywood actors and actresses, music entertainers, NFL players, Democrats, Liberals, protest groups, and talk show hosts. The noise got louder and louder and yet there was no concrete reason for it. Then Twitter happened and I’m so thankful it did. I am not an avid Twitter user but I got myself an account for one reason only, to get my news straight from the source. Yes, Trump has an “in-your-face” way of expressing himself on Twitter but I actually find it refreshing because he does not care. He is not owned by anyone, he didn’t need to run for president, he cares not for political correctness, he knows our country’s issues from a business man’s perspective and he ran so he could personally help our country get back on track to the best of his ability. He is unapologetically patriotic, politically incorrect and he is unafraid to talk about God. So here was Donald Trump actually calling out the MSM as “fake news” and it was so exhilarating because it confirmed what I was seeing for myself, biased, fake sourced, media outlets spewing out what I can now understand to be propaganda. The questions that beg to be answered are why and how (legally and financially) is this happening.

For starters, let’s follow the money. Who “owns” the media? Through mergers, consolidations and monopolies a very small number of major corporations have taken control of every one of our mainstream media resources. The biggest players are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, News Corporation, CBS Corporation, and NBC Universal. For a complete and interactive list you can visit freepress.net to educate yourself on just how far reaching these corporations are because it’s not just where we get our “news” on television, it’s our radio, magazines, newspapers and entertainment too. Is it too out of the question to think that whom ever pays the most for advertising or whom ever is the biggest share holder gets to pull the strings of this gigantic beast for whatever purposes they might have? Isn’t it interesting that we call television “programming”. Have certain individuals realized that if you control the narrative you can control the masses? Are you being “programmed” literally? If someone is in a position to manipulate people by telling them what to think, believe, fight for, fear, need, or want while raking in a huge profit what’s to stop them?

This is where I will leave you today, at the lip of your first rabbit-hole, or if you are already very much awake to all this media coercion then I’ll see you at the next blog. I strongly believe that no one person can tell you what is true, you have to find it out for yourself. And, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink which to me means that there is only so much responsibility that I personally can take in helping people find the truth in reality and that responsibility has its boundaries. I could make myself physically ill trying to explain every last detail of every little bit of evidence that I have ever researched and found in the hopes of convincing you of the problem. There is a massive amount of research waiting for YOU to do personally, not just so that you can be educated but also so you can hone your own skill at discernment for truth and so that you can be educated enough to help red pill someone else. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a nudge when something feels wrong, ask Him to lead you to the next truth, ask Him to open your eyes, to lift the veil and to expose the lies. Also, its very important that you leave all that you think you know here. The only thing you get to “know” is that God is the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 22:13) and that His Word is Truth. Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Proverbs 3:7 “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.” Acts 20:29-30 “I (Jesus) know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock, even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.” John17:15-17 “My (Jesus) prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”

**A Word of Caution**
Certain widely used search engines “track” and subvert their searches behind the scene. To avoid this alarming thing, I strongly suggest using DuckDuckGo.com instead. Set it up in your Safari settings as the default search engine prior to taking this journey. You will thank me later. I encourage you to use YouTube in your research but I acknowledge that it can be a slippery slope because not all YouTubers are reliable sources and many are simply there to pass on disinformation, however there are some very knowledgeable sources too that have taken these subjects on as a real journalist should – presenting facts and resources in an intelligent and meaningful way. Be aware that YouTube has been censoring people, deleting videos, and demonetizing channels as a way to control narrative also so if you see a video that looks juicy you might want to watch it post haste before it mysteriously gets removed. Many of the videos that I have found very helpful are no longer available. I think that this has the opposite effect than what these controllers are hoping for because I take those videos as probable proof since they are obviously deemed a threat to the point of deletion. Also, stay away from Wikipedia and Snopes. They are NOT reliable for truth.

Below are a list of buzz words to help you get going with your research. This list can get you started but you might want to keep track of other words, resources, articles, YouTube videos, etc. that come up as you go. These rabbit-holes are very, very curvy and branch out into whole other dimensions. You can easily get lost so always come back to God and what He say’s is true. God does not lie (Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2). Finally, if you don’t think you have the time to figure this stuff out for yourself, all I can say is we have lost too much valuable time as it is. We have all but given over our country, our children, our peace, our health and our minds because we have been asleep for such a long time. We cannot go back but we can go forward with a vengeance and we can regain precious ground before it really is too late.

Armor of God

Sally

Let me first reintroduce myself. My name is Sally, and like my name, I would consider myself to be very old fashioned. I have old fashioned principles, morals and tastes. I’m a conservative, a Christian, a stay-at-home mom and a wife who has little use for feminism. I like Turner Classic movies, classic novels, Christian music, and being a homemaker. I need to tell you this because what I’ve discovered is so shocking and outside the box for someone such as myself that I have no idea how I ever swallowed that initial red pill or squeezed down that first rabbit hole. I can only say that on some subconscious level I have always had questions that were silently stewing, questions that could only be asked from a place of good old fashioned common sense. Perhaps there are things we just know in our soul but have been conditioned to forget and the moment you dare confront yourself about these things your soul suddenly nudges you toward a different truth, a truth that ousts the lie. It seems truth will be made known, sooner or later, and with truth comes freedom (John8:32). For me, I’ve been a lifelong seeker and lover of truth and as the Bible promises us, if you seek you will find (Matthew 7:7). I believe I’ve been called to be a Watchman and my specialty seems to be reconnaissance. I’m not claiming that everything I’ve discovered is 100% accurate or true, I’m just asking you and myself to keep an open mind to the idea that there is a lot we don’t know or understand about the world and therefore this leaves a possibility for those things to be true. Unfortunately, there is overwhelming evidence that a large majority of what I’ve found out IS true and IS accurate and from that perspective I can only point us to God for the next step. As a Watchman it is my duty to sound the alarm and to inspire others to do the same. I pray I am not too late!

I’m going to start with the antidote first. The things that will be revealed are so horrific, so evil, so scary and so pervasive that if I don’t give you the antidote right now, up front, then I might lose you. You need to lean into our Lord Jesus Christ. Why would the occult be so widespread and so intently practiced (which I will show you later) if there wasn’t a God? The antithesis of evil is good, which is the age old idea of Satan vs God. There has never been such a testimony to the proof of God’s existence than the countless people who go out of their way to align themselves with Satan and his agenda. To do this they pervert and invert all the good that God has established and use it to worship Satan. Satan is the father of lies and the fabric of our society is built on these lies. Because of this battle between good and evil, we need to know right now, with absolute urgency and certainty, that The End is here! The End is the final battle, the culmination of centuries where God has been raising up a people, His church, His bride, His chosen ones, before He ends Satan’s reign once and for all. Our awakening is eminent and necessary so that we can put on our God given armor and fight with Him and for Him! God is real, He is taking action, but we are called to fight alongside Him and our cooperation and participation is necessary and vital.

As Ephesians 6:14-18 NIV details “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the word of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

And also, as it is reflected in verse 20, pray that we all may declare the gospel and all of the truth fearlessly as we should.  The truth I have discovered will be explained further in following blogs and we need to couple this truth with God’s truth in the Bible so that we can understand the enemy and what we are fighting for and against. You would never want to have to go fight in the front lines of any war blind. It would be pointless because you would be an easy target and you would also be in danger of shooting people on the same side as you. This is actually happening right now. People are out “shooting” the good guys because they haven’t been awoken to the truth yet. They are actually undermining the war effort and are oblivious that they are fighting for the wrong side. We just can’t have that because a house divided falls (Mark 3:25).

Jesus also says in Luke 10:23 NIV “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

Now is not the time to be divided, now is the time to unite and start a revolution in Jesus’ name!

We need our breastplate of righteousness in place. Have you repented of your self-sufficiency and asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior? This is important for the cause. The evil you will face is real and the only protection that can be offered you comes through Jesus from God Himself.

John 14:6 NIV is very clear, Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

There is no tangible weapon that we will be able to use to obliterate the evil ones with. There isn’t some atomic bomb or machine gun or biological weapon that will have an effect on them. They live in a spiritual dimension and are spirit beings that cannot be killed. The only weapons we have are of a spiritual nature and the only effective way to war against them is God’s way. A breastplate is a protective covering. You need the enemy to recognize you as one of God’s children as it carries significant implications against them and gives you authority over them.

In Luke 10:18-19 NIV Jesus says, “I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” In Matthew 16:18-19 NIV Jesus tells us, “. . . On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

In Matthew 10:1 Jesus gave His disciples the authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. In Acts 2:21 Peter reminds us that in the last days everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.  If you do not truly believe with all your heart that you are saved through the blood of Jesus on the cross then how can you stand firmly on the gospel in peace and with readiness? You just can’t. Once you believe and accept Jesus into your heart as your one and only Savior, only then can the gift of His Holy Spirit be supernaturally imparted to you and the fruits of that Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22) Without knowing Him you won’t know peace. It’s a peace that surpasses human understanding (Philippians 4:7) and this kind of peace is vital to stand up against the the type of ugliness that this war is being waged against, a war like none we have ever seen.

We need our shield of faith. Through faith in God, our salvation through Jesus, and in what the Bible says is true, we can be shielded from whatever the enemy tries to throw at us. If we renew our mind in the truth of the Bible, the enemy’s lies can be easily overcome. If we rest in the peace of our salvation through faith, we can learn to be fearless while facing the enemy head on. Through our faith that God’s Word is true and will be fulfilled, we get to know before we begin who wins this battle; spoiler alert it’s Jesus who wins and Satan and his legions get locked away for eternity. You really want to be fighting on the winning side (trust me or read Revelation). Having unshakable faith is vital to this fight as is our helmet of salvation because like in the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, (see the story in the third chapter of Daniel) we will be faced with some really scary stuff and we will need to be willing to calmly and confidently walk into that hypothetical fiery furnace knowing that God has a plan and even if that plan allows us to be killed in our flesh it does not end our eternal story. The key here is no fear. Fear is not an option in this war. Fear is exactly what these evil spirits are feeding on, literally, and I will show you proof of this later. If we give way to fear than we acquiescent to the devil. The only fear we should entertain is a healthy fear of the Lord and even then through His perfect love, fear is driven out (1 John 4:18).

As is stated in 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

If we are timid (fearful) then we are not using our power and we need our power to defeat the evil ones.

This leads into a final and very vital weapon of this war, prayer. As was already pointed out in Ephesians 6, we need to be praying in all occasions, for God’s people, and for God’s anointed. Prayer is our weapon in the spirit realm. If you are unfamiliar with prayer or even if you are already a seasoned prayer warrior I highly recommend you read The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson. We can be greatly encouraged about the power of prayer. Through prayer we deliver the most effective battle wounds to our enemy. God hears our prayers and deploys His Angel Army (in part) according to our collective voice. The Bible speaks for itself on this matter.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16 NIV. Psalm 122:6 NIV “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” Psalm 5:2 NIV “Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “”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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. “I will be bound by you”, declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” James 5:16 NIV “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Philippians 4:6 NIV “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” John 15:7 NIV “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Romans 8:26 NIV “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

This last verse is particularly close to my heart these days. After everything I have learned, there really are no words. The monstrosities that people have been capable of have left me shocked, speechless, and heartbroken. I used to think to myself, as I looked around, that the condition of the world was not that bad yet. God was only going to come when things were really, really bad. Sodom and Gomorrah bad (see the story in Genesis chapter 13). But, I now know that in many ways the current condition of our world is much, much worse because it involves our helpless and beloved children. Please consider these things that I’ve shared and ask God for guidance. If you are ready to take up arms for the battle that the Lord is calling us to, then please stay tuned here for the unfolding of some long ignored truth. I will try to deliver the next bits of information fast because I understand that there is an urgency to get as many people up to speed as possible. So, God willing or until I get censored, I’ll see you soon. God bless and protect America!
