Some Relevant Bracing Thoughts Re The TImes

 I've been talking, writing describing the scenario that it appears we may be in.

I'm always a bit too early, but the details end up panning out pretty much spot on, when it finally come around.

Having seen this coming for a while (a few decades actually) one of the main--besides general material preservation considerations, ie., protection, sustenance of family, friends, neighbors etc.,--CONSIDERATIONS . . . which I have I emphasized continually throughout, is . . . that one will need to have a separate "mind".

By that, I mean and have meant that the propaganda and various invasive, infiltrating methods of mind/body/soul "brain-wash" control will be such THAT UNLESS you are able to hear from The Holy Spirit--God's immediate direction and communique's . . . it will be very difficult to navigate the chaos.

One thing I have said here and there, along the way, trying to prepare those who I love and who will listen, is . . . . Well, I've said that it is nearly impossible to prepare for the day when all hell breaks loose.  All sorts of plans and contingencies and stores . . . will likely go out the window in a moment.

Then what?

SO, if one loves and serves God above all, and trusts His "mysterious ways" . . . it will be such that you will need and want to be hearing from The Holy Spirit . . . literally moment to moment, in order to know what to do.

It hasn't happened in the way that it has been happening now, for me; but it is now.  And that is: I envisioned a time when it would literally come down to being able to HEAR and follow the direction of The Spirit, and have faith in that, regardless of the slings and arrows of those who are led by the chaos trumpets and spirits slung against you.  A man, a woman, a leader must take charge, invested with the power and guidance, of the now CLEAR SPEAKING VOICE within of The Holy Spirit, God.

I've always thought and hoped for (though have doubted at times the eventuality of it, as life is hard and the desert walks ALONG THE WAY can carry on testing one's faith) that when the time came, HE would be imminently present, in a visceral way, unmistakable . . . and that He would guide each footstep.

There is no escaping death (unless we get raptured out beforehand afterall) . . . so this is not a way to avoid the inevitable mortal conclusion.

BUT it is a blessed, and righteous way to bear the challenges and threats and assaults of the times!

Never forget what each Apostle and every Beleiver bore for the sake of their witness!  Stephen comes to mind. . . .

And many others through centuries.

It is a small thing to suffer for the glory of God in this fallen, wretched world.

And above all, of course, NEVER FORGET WHAT THE LORD HIMSELF SUFFERED ON OUR BEHALF such that we can endure these last wailings and persecutions of The Wicked as THEY spiral, going to their eventual Hellish destination, knowing that THOSE WHO BELIEVE shall live forever in glory, loving and enjoying and worshiping GOD ALMIGHTY, fraternizing in endless bliss with those others who love and adore Him.
