The Clock is Ticking

 The spiritual war we are fighting is growing more brutal by the day, and many of us are going through
our own personal garden of Gethsemane. With the gradual stripping away of our agency and constitutional right to choose, we are dealing with the painful stripping away of personal opinion (spoken and unspoken) that is being heaped upon us by others. We would rather have this cup pass us by but are willing to let the Lord's will be done. It hurts being the Deceiver's victims, but we can take heart in knowing we are never alone in this battle against the unseen evil surrounding us, as well as those who are influenced by it.

This the Matrix in which we live, and instead of ingesting the red pill and opening our minds to the deceptions making up our world, many snatch the blue pill and gulp it down quickly, choosing to stay in their fog of oblivion, unwilling to delve deep below the surface and make the hard decisions.

I have come to the point in my life that what people think of me doesn't matter in the least. Though my heart is filled with love and compassion for my fellow man, I could not care less about the opinions of others. The only things that matter to me are my God, my Savior, my family, the gospel of Christ, sharing that gospel and His truths with others, knowing what is real and true, and my own personal salvation. Beyond that, nothing else in this world bears much importance.

The Lord needs an awake people. He needs our whole heart. He needs us to relinquish every part of ourselves, and He wants to be present in every aspect of our lives - to be present and help us to see through the fog of deceit that presses in upon us each day so that the enemy cannot destroy us, nor allow us to destroy ourselves.

And in return, He will give us all of Himself.

In fact, He already has.

This is my prayer for all.

The Purging of Pride

 God is always faithful, and despite our weaknesses and failures, He will not fail us. He could never
forget His promises to us, and He will always provide for our every need and bless us with the righteous desires of our hearts.

Sometimes we grow impatient waiting for God to move in our behalf, but we need to trust in Him, and trust that He knows us personally. He only asks that we surrender ourselves to Him, and know with absolute surety that He knows what's best for each and every one of us.

Father and His Son know me completely, and I will continue to strive to know Them better with each passing day.

Besides the "plandemic" that is being perpetrated upon the masses, there is an overwhelming epidemic of fear and despair in the world today. There is also an epidemic of pride, and some lord this pride over others. Each time we allow our pride to divide us (and many us us guard and hold onto our pride with an insane jealousy that is indescribable) we place a wedge between us and the Lord, which is the very last thing we want right now. This is the time we want Him even closer - to feel Him near at all times.

Today is the day to rid ourselves of all ungodliness.  It's the day to let go of pride, unrighteous judgments, the tendency to prop ourselves above others, the tendency to believe we are right and others are wrong, and the self-centered belief that personal revelation is irrelevant . . . unless it coincides and validates our own point of view. This is the epitome of pride.

The gathering season is fast coming to a close and the need to eliminate the gods and idols of this world is vital to our personal salvation. It's a time of urgency, and the Lord is still giving us every opportunity in this remaining small window of time to purge this gross sin from our hearts and replace it with the Savior. We must grasp how important it is look to Him in all things

This is my hope and prayer for all of us.
