I don’t know about calls for civil war, but I have known many Christians in the military who struggled with engaging in war. They had to come to peace with God about this. I cannot speak for their consciences, but they believed that God placed them in the military for His purpose.How so many can justify their call for civil war, for executions for those who think differently from them is mind-boggling to me. I can at least see the possibilities that would surface with those in the world, whose minds are darkened.
But what we are seeing is this darkness openly proclaimed as light..... among Christians! .....Even if brothers and sisters in the Lord hold different viewpoints. Ultimately, they will be forced by their own theology to brand these saints as the enemy, and the lash will fall upon them too. Thus, it will be fulfilled that there will be those in the last day who think they are doing God a "service" for executing other believers. You think this an exaggeration? The seeds are raising their heads and growing.
As long as we remain earthly-minded, we will focus on making this world our plane of operation. And there is but ONE way to escape it. What is needed for us to have our minds renewed... rebooted so to speak? We MUST put off our old man by an act of faith alone, seeing nothing, feeling nothing, and believe that what Jesus bought for us with His death and resurrection was that we can walk away from our self-driven nature and put on brand new ones that not only can obey, but WANT TO!
The separation is beginning. Choices will have to be made. There will be no fence sitting allowed, lol. God has bought for us something we simply have not been told about because all have been asleep to it. Yes, all. We will have to choose to save our life, which is our old nature, or to lose our life for His sake, surrendering 100%, and discovering that God not IN you, what the Bible calls the new man, is who we now are. NOW.
And who are we? New-natured men and women totally kept from sin by the power of God through faith, and the painfully slow sanctification process we have all been taught is the norm, will be left in the jet wash of the Spirit of God restoring each one of us from spiritual desert to lushness of light and life.
These trials we are beginning to have are there to shake us awake to the lateness of the hour and that our lukewarm hearts need to be infused with LIGHT. Remember, even the five virgins who made it in to Heaven had the oil of the Holy Spirit. But having it and lighting it to bring forth fruit and to display light to others, well, they are two very different things.
Big changes are coming within the church. New wine must be put in new wineskins. We are about to see what God can do for us, to us, in us, as He rolls up His sleeves and subdues the enemy who WAS us, but is not us any longer.
blessings to all,
Gids
I have a thought:
James 2:16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

ME THINKS she already has my friend . You said that america does not succumb to her enemies . MY Friend , me thinksIf I lived in GB at this time I'd want to be an American too.
America is a Constitutional Democratic Republic.
Ever notice? People across the pond and elsewhere in the world are quick to voice their contempt for us, their hate, boast in their ridicule, etc... However, when their country is up against the wall, or unforeseen tragedy strikes their people, who are the first to respond? Or the first they call? America!
And we're there every single time. And our people donate too. We donate blood to the Red Cross, we donate monies and food to Operation Blessing (A 700 Club enterprise), we donate to many different charities that meet the need. And those needy never know our names. But they're thankful.
And then the tragedy is over. The threat vanquished. And what happens? Not all, not perhaps the same numbers as before, but sure enough some still return to the same acidic vitriol of before.
"As America goes so goes the world." Some have said. If they really believed that you'd think the foreigners who hold to that idea would have a little bit more respect and hold out greater hope that America doesn't succumb to her enemies. Because if we go down they go down.
No, I actually thought it was a stupid thing to say, so nothing in my response was a lie as it was how I felt and no intent was there when I posted. I guess playing games was the wrong way to describe the curiosity I had once I posted. I was intrigued. So I apologise for using that description. You were actual right to pull me up on What I had said, more so in light of what I conveyed yesterday. I accept that, and equally apologise.It's one thing between two people, but you involved an innocent Third Party, and "used" them -- so you attested. And then you said it was a "game". Well, some people do witchcraft in the same fashion.
We're done.

A personal testimony
Someone dear to me has spent their life pushing me away. When I expressed my frustration they took this to mean I destroyed them.
Ironic that my frustration is used to blame me for their actions. The emotion I am to blame I can never get around because it is the excuse to hate me. Or put it another way the desire to reject is explained by my words.
This hurts because I can do nothing but be rejected. I share this because this election dilemma is the same.
The fraud charge is the excuse for the hatred, though the hatred is unwarranted and wrong. So neither can be given up because they support each other. Both are false, but serve dictators to stir up real violence and a cascade of evil. If such things catch alight, only war puts them back.
These are dangerous times because the issues are so toxic. But in Jesus if we can love our enemies the power behind these events can be resolved
God bless you
Don't you love that? After my mom died, dad had passed a little over a year prior, maybe a few months had gone by and I started to find dimes around the house, on the walk outside , on the seat of the car. Just one dime. No reason for it to be there. Didn't drop my monies and change, none of that which would be attributed to me. But now and then there they are. Dimes.I never played the lottery.. but I found a lot of change on the sidewalks and in the gutters when it was needed. :)
Observing your personal testimony...
Not unlike many others.
Review it closely.
You begin with "Your" feelings about someone "Dear" to you.
The Fact is...a person can BE ENDEARED BY Another...
" but the OTHER has "ZERO likability" in how the "one" talks, pastime interests, lifestyle, treats their spouse, treats their children, treats their animals, treats their neighbors, gossips, endless bragging, clothes they wear, houskeeping, food and drink, language, topics of discussion and on and on and on and on...
They do NOT WANT to be a PART of YOUR chosen DAILY Life Choices!!!
They DO NOT want you to Feel at "Your Liberty" to "Intrude" IN their Lifestyle, "AT YOUR every Whim", to call, drop in, plan, critique, borrow, influence their children...inanutshell...opportune yourself to make "yourself at home, IN their home".
For some...an "OCCASIONAL "literal INVITE", get together is Acceptable"...for Others, it becomes an uninvited Intrusion...they DO NO WANT...and once..."ONCE"...that occurs...they WILL CUT you OFF.
Review your words... (atypical)...
"YOU" feel dear toward another.
"YOU" have been CUT OFF.
WHY? You didn't say. You may not even get it.
They may have not Told you directly...
Hey, don't call me every day. Hey stop asking to borrow. Hey stop trying to parent my children. Hey stop telling me how to run my business, my household, what to eat, blah, blah, blah.
There IS an Underlying "Intrusion" issue...that they DO NOT WANT to be bombarded with....you have to look back and see what that is ...or decide to Write the a letter Requesting The Hurtful Truth, they didn't want to hurtfully Tell you... what they don't Like, that you have done...and IF you can refrain from that behavior and Have an occasional pleasant get together.
You (atypically) have Completely made the Cut OFF all about YOUR "feelings"... and DIRECTLY "BLAMED" "them"...
And YOUR BLAME TOWARD THEM, YOU Have Directly ...NAMED the "CAUSE"...
"THEIR HATE"...of poor innocent you, whom you project as, Just so loving toward them.
•It has Nothing whatsoever with THEM "hating" you. That is your "sympathy facade", and very transparent.
Every family is faced with (the family member or friend) "intruder" and HOW to deal with that is as varied, as How and to what Extent an other IS INTRUDING.
Just saying...your poor you they hate you, is
as Transparent as child's play who blurt out the Same when they do not get "their way".
Adults should have learned...they ARE NOT the "king of an others castle"... It's not About "hate". It is Expressly About one Refusal and Resistance to Relinquish "their position and control of their household and time" TO an other.
It is no different on this Forum...
You preaching Others must be willing to DO what the World Promotes...even going so far as Dictating people Must Eat a Veagen Diet.
That IS INSANE!
Why is your Right choice superior to an others Right choice?
That is the exact same Resistance SOME Godly people ARE RESISTING in the US., which you are oblivious to recognizing.
I knew it! "Covid Passport".

On Twitter there are more than one Donald Trump accounts. His actual one is, #realdonaldtrump.

ME THINKS she already has my friend . You said that america does not succumb to her enemies . MY Friend , me thinks
She has indeed surrendered to sie order . WATCH CLOSELY what i am about to send .
I don't give up on the resolve to live free. And sure I bloviate at times like what has been described in a spectacular post made by Backlit recently, (linked here), and per the programming of those pulling the strings. However, I think the American public is going to be soon shaken out of their complacency when the Covid Passport becomes reality. Have the vaccination or you can't buy or sell... Sound familiar?I don’t know about calls for civil war, but I have known many Christians in the military who struggled with engaging in war. They had to come to peace with God about this. I cannot speak for their consciences, but they believed that God placed them in the military for His purpose.
I guess the same can be said for Christians in the police force. They have to be willing to take lives in order to protect lives. I’m sure this is not an easy situation.
So, I don’t see military and law enforcement rightly doing their jobs as engaging in sins is the flesh. As far as civilians taking up arms, I don’t know what to think about this. I do know that America’s main problem is spiritual—turning away from God; therefore, turning to God is the only lasting solution.
I don't tweety bird either. But I was made aware there are copy scam accounts that tweet with the purpose of making him appear lame to those who aren't aware they're not the real Trump. There's even one that claims to be his son Barron. Yeah, that person writes that garbage posing as the first son and their account is just fine. No warning. "This is not the real Barron Trump!"Thank you! Good to know.
I don't use twitter, but occasionally SEE copies of twitter posts.
God Bless,
