Once again, here is the FREE book I wrote in 2019. It was a compilation of blog posts dating back to 2011, plus followers' specific requests for answers. I asked what they wanted in a book. Here's the result. Download, distribute, share...

Leviticus 26:1
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Most of the world is reacting to others’ sins with their own sinful behavior, which only leads to more death and destruction.
Sin often creates a cycle where it leads others to respond sinfully, causing a chain reaction.
That’s why it’s so important to stick to Christ’s teachings and commands.
He shows us how to respond to situations in the spirit, not the flesh.
This kind of understanding is rare because it comes from being deeply committed to studying God’s word and faithfully following His teachings.
@Mistie141420979 I've hardly been on Twitter lately, what have I missed? I did an eyebrow raise when I saw George had her on, I was never going to listen to it.
Satan operates by leveraging our fallen nature, knowing we are prone to lash out in rebellion and wrath when pushed.
This provocation is deliberate, his goal is to make us act in the flesh and abandon the guidance of the Spirit.
Walking the narrow path is challenging, and few find it.
If we study scripture, we see that this tactic is typical of Satan's operations.
What better way to unite humanity in an unholy, flesh-led rebellion than by presenting a clear and present evil that incites fear, anger, bitterness, and resentment?
This aligns with what Jesus said about the last days in Matthew 24:12: "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."
As wickedness increases, people are more likely to reject Christ’s teachings and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, succumbing instead to fleshly desires.
The overtly-tyrannical plans of the globalists is the bait placed before us.
Satan's endgame is to keep us in spiritual bondage through temptations of the flesh.
It’s tragic that many modern believers overlook this.
If more understood, fewer would be deceived, and many more could be saved.
We must recognize these deceptions and hold steadfastly to our spiritual commitments, not just the battles of this fallen world.
@elonmusk Also, have a look at the percentage of the prison population who have acquired brain injuries. There is a direct link between brain injuries, homelessness, self-medication, poor impulse control and violent behavior.
@CarmenStuder I blocked Tate ages ago, so I don't accidentally stumble across any of his drivel. I can't listen to a word he says without warning bells going off.
@DonnieDarkened And this is my biggest struggle. As the morality of the world falls, people act in more depraved ways. I find it hard to find love for these people.
@CaraPac46808618@bindelj Ewww, that's so nasty. NO one without a weird kink shares underwear, male or female. Why would it just be women, and not men? Because that's your fantasy. It's dirty and not something that happens. Signed, an actual female.
I don't think he's checking for a wire, but he's very dominant. Justin looks very uncomfortable and is avoiding eye contact. Then he looks annoyed as he gets in the car. He doesn't want to anything to do with Diddy. He looks like a victim.
We are not called to rise and fight a physical battle, but a spiritual battle. If you are feeling called to fight, it might be time to really delve into the New Testament.
Everyone is living in total fear of what will happen to them in this world.
They completely forget or reject that God’s sovereign hand is using these difficult times to test and refine His elect.
That’s why it’s called the tribulation.
We are being tested on if we really follow Christ’s teachings or if we follow our own sinful instincts.
People are following their fleshly, natural desires for vengeance, retribution, peace, and safety in this world because they are led by the fear of the world, and not the fear of the Lord.
1 Peter 1:6-7 says:
"In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."
in Acts 5:41, it describes the apostles' reaction after being flogged and ordered not to speak in the name of Jesus.
Despite their suffering, they rejoiced for being considered worthy of persecution for the sake of their faith.
Here is another example in 1 Peter 4:13,
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed."
This is why Christ says whoever wants to be a disciple of His must deny themselves and take up their cross to follow Him. (Luke 9:23)
And it’s also why Revelation 12:11 says that the saints overcomes the beast by NOT loving their lives unto death.
"They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
And that’s too why Revelation 13:10 says,
"If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people."
This point is also repeated in Revelation 14:12 which says,
“This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus."
So the saints overcome the beast by NOT loving their lives even unto death, because they know what’s waiting for them is far greater than anything this world could offer.
And this is also why in Matthew 24:13, when Jesus is discussing the tragic events of the tribulation, He says “but He who endures until the end shall be saved.”
Our patience, long-suffering, and endurance is being tested to see if we are truly worthy of being called disciples of Christ.
I know this is a hard pill to swallow, but this theme is repeated throughout scripture.
David, who was anointed king at a young age, had to go through a period of being hunted and persecuted by Saul before becoming king.
The same theme is seen in the life of Jesus, who literally wept in the Garden asking God for this cup to pass over Him.
But nonetheless, Christ submitted to the will of the Father, as we will also have to do.
This is why it says the meek shall inherit the earth, and the humble will be exalted.
Everyone is exalting themselves to stand up for the ultimate idol: their lives and this world.
Their own delusion will inevitably lead to their destruction as it is written.
Don’t fear the one who can kill the body,
Fear the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell.
Again, these are very hard pills to swallow for most modern Christians, but that feeling you’re feeling right now is conviction from the Holy Spirit.
Don’t resist that conviction, brothers and sisters.
"Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown." Rev 2:10
