Real Picture Emerging
If you do not believe governments and others in power are not lying to us, there is little I can do for you except pray that God will open your eyes. But if the government IS lying to us, there must be a reason, right? It has to do with the fact that Satan is building his final world kingdom and doing so through human beings he calls his own and who are sold out to him either knowingly or unknowingly.
Because of this, I fully believe Christians have the duty to peacefully resist his coming rule. In doing so, we become lights to those living in darkness. It takes guts to actually do that, to resist the state powers, but it can and should be done.

On some occasions, Jesus ignored the behavior of Judas. On others, He called Judas out. Paul did the same with people who tried to derail him. The truth is that we can only fight the good fight when we understand from where it emanates. If we focus solely on human beings, we are missing much of it because human beings are simply the puppets that Satan uses for his ends.
Should Christians Resist Tyranny?
Jesus resisted peacefully. At times, He got into heated exchanges with the religious leaders. On at least one occasion He had some very pointed words for a political leader of His day (cf. Luke 13:32). You’ll no doubt recall the numerous times the religious leaders wanted to kill Jesus and set about to do just that. Jesus’ resistance to their leadership was not sinful or wrong. It was necessary.

The world is just a different place today and even though we’d like to look ahead and believe that 2021 will be better, there’s no guarantee. None at all. The only guarantee we have is that God is still on the throne. He controls all things either directly or indirectly because His will is going to be accomplished as it has since the beginning.
False Teachers and Prophets, Part 8
Shifting slightly from the political arena to the religious one, do we have Christian leaders who are advocating positions that go against God and His Word? We already know that we do as we’ve pointed out in this series.
Much of it stems from a desire to please people; to receive accolades from the public. This happens most when certain ministries become so huge that the money flows in. To continue the stream of income, it becomes important to not offend people because offended people stop giving their money and take it somewhere else.
Sad Story of Gov. Brian Kemp
So what’s going on in Georgia? Patriots and conservatives throughout the state voted in good faith for a man whom they believed to be truly conservative and a Christian. Now, are we finding out that Kemp is simply another run of the mill RINO who got into politics to enrich himself, his friends and/or his family members?

During WWII, my wife’s grandparents were fairly well to do living in Austria. Because of the war, the military came in and took over their home and kicked them out. What could they do? They were outgunned. They had to leave and ultimately lived in a camp for displaced citizens for 10 years before they were allowed to come to the USA and only after guaranteeing that they would not be a burden on the government. The Roman Catholic church sponsored them, brought them over and helped the men get jobs. Her parents actually met and married in that camp.

What Have We Christians Become?
Every Christian has faults. We all fall at various points. We are all – hopefully – though, still doing our best to be like Jesus through the submission of our will for His. So even though I may not have a problem seeing through the fiasco called CV-19, do I fail to see where I come up short in other areas? Am I more concerned about my own safety in society rather than submitting that to God? Do I hold things more precious to my heart than God Himself? In other words, am I holding things back from God, trying to control them instead of allowing Him to do so?
Technocracy: Controlling Your Movements
Remember, technocracy relies on the subject of “climate change” that causes fear in people so that we will want to use less energy. In fact, everything the technocrats do is fear-based because they know that fear is a tremendous motivator. People who fear want to be released from that fear and because of that, they are willing to do whatever it takes to experience that release and once again be able to embrace “safety.”
