serpent
The serpent tempts Eve

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

The Good Samaritan
Most people with even a smattering of Bible knowledge know about the parable of the Good Samaritan or have at least heard the term. Some hospitals even have statues of the good samaritan.
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
In this parable there was a decent ending. The third person, the good samaritan, decided to help out; the one who was beaten and robbed received mercy at the samaritan’s hands.
But what if there had been another ending? What if the good samaritan was a “bad” samaritan that day and also walked on and did not bother to help? What then?
Life is a continual test and we are always challenged in one way or another as to what we will do with what is presented to us. God watches and we reap what we sow.
Ecclesiastes 5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
Here is an opportunity to be a good samaritan for the United States, and also for the nation in which you reside which might have similar problems.
The United States, and many sovereign nations, have been beaten and robbed.
You can read, understand, and pass on this information. You can attend this summit.
I really try to stay out of the second coming prophetic realm because I feel the way it is preached has made a lot of complacent, “why do I care,” “why should I bother,” “why should I fight because I’m going to take flight” attitude.
However in this case, all I will say is that you are still here, on the earth, and what happens on the earth has consequences. Be careful what you choose because God will let you experience the effects of your choices.
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
What is iniquity? It is the refusal to submit our wills to our Father which art in heaven. It is what operated in satan which contributed to his fall from being Lucifer, the light-bearer, to being renamed the serpent, satan, devil, serpent, Beelzebub. This fallen created being named the serpent showed up in the garden of Eden and tempted Adam and Eve to their fall from their appointed place in God.
[emphasis added below]
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
This is not a popular viewpoint. It is more popular to sit back and say that we don’t need to do anything, we don’t need to vote, we don’t need to bother with politics, and that Jesus will take care of everything in the Second Coming. All I can say is that Jesus is not yet fully here, except in the presence of his people and that his people have been given the power and authority and task to obey him. And I would conjecture, or strongly believe, that the freemasons and satanists and globalists who want to control things are more than happy for the Christians to sit at home and be complacent because they have been taught well to do that by those that are the propagandists who teach them to sit back and be complacent.
Look at the fruit, look at society, is what the Christian church overall doing working?
The viewpoint below comes from a speaker at a presbyterian denomination. I don’t get too caught up in the denominations other than see them as different parts of the body of Christ. But this is one of the few denominations that recognize that the Christian church cannot and should not retreat from society. Personally, I think the Reformation was a bad idea, and that corrections should have been done in-house, and then there would be greater unity in the church. But the Reformation happened and we have to deal with things as they are, not as we would wish them to be.
Repost: Francis Schaeffer | A Christian Manifesto | Coral Ridge 1982
There is no place for “the pot to call the kettle black.” Whatever transgression of one denomination, there can be found a failing in another denomination. The Protestants were against the Catholics for certain things, but now there is a protestant denomination that says same sex “marriage” is acceptable (which it is not, God created man and woman as the marriage unit). The point is, the Reformation might as well have been made in “in-house,” as the split did not solve all problems. It took 1500 years before there was a split in the church becase of “issues.” It has taken only 500 years for the protestant break-aways to degrade into “issues.”
Regardless of the church’s problems, the fact is, the message that Jesus Christ gave the church to deliver, the message of Jesus Christ as the only hope of salvation, and redemption, still comes through the imperfect vessel called the church. That is the hope of the world.
But if the church hopes to continue to preach the gospel, then it needs to re-engage in seeking to keep elections and nations free of satanic, atheistic, globalist overlords who will gladly fill the halls of government if the Christians don’t want to be bothered.

Transformed into an angel of light
Satan was thrown out of heaven after an unsuccessful coup. He came to earth and continues to attempt to rule a kingdom. He has appeared in different forms throughout history.
At the time of Eden, he appeared to Eve as a serpent. At the time of Abraham, false gods were clay images connected to invisible spirits. In this pseudo-scientific age, some corporate executives and government officials worship gods of climate change and transgenderism. Each historical age has a different manifestation.
II Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
The idea of the antichrist is not something unique to this time. John, who was one of the disciples of Jesus, talked about the antichrist in his day.
I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Why has there been such an attack on original creation? Who would attack original creation but that great serpent, the dragon, satan who wars against the woman, who wars against the church, who wars against God, who wars against God’s creation? To take original creation, and cut off parts of men and women in the name of transgenderism, is to create a world where the very definitions of what it is to be human changes. Progressives use “fluid” definitions to enact their own agendas.
What if a man identifies as a woman, rapes a woman, and then re-identifies as a man or any one of 57 other varieties. What then? Is he/she/it guilty? If you are Jack one day and Jill the next, can Jill be charged with a crime? Or Jack?
Does transgenderism put someone in a untouchable legal definition? Are our laws prepared to deal with the confusion that will be brought by progressives? That confusion buys them time since go-along-to-get-along society generally operates on the defense and not the offense. We need to be proactive, prepared for their next move. And what if the antichrist is a transgender AI? Does that give the AI legal authority over mankind but mankind has no way to fight back? Do we have AIs currently in office posing as government officials? Some of them seem to hide from public view. Are we prepared to deal with these questions while we still have time?
Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Watch Your Mouth
While the proper use of words are important to one’s own life and that of one’s family, this post is going to address a larger issue.
This will give an overview of how progressives attempt to capture the upper hand of narratives through the use of words.
The reason this is being addressed is because it is through the use of words that the progressives seek to take down society.
Regardless of how much virtue and character and uprightness you have in your own personal life, so you perhaps feel that this has nothing to do with you, you still are part of society overall. If you do not at least understand the basics of what the progressives do, you can become a pawn in their hands and unwittingly be used against your interests and values.
It is like people who turn their capital over to investment firms only to find out that those investment firms invest contrary to the customer’s own personal beliefs.
Back to the use of words….
It is important not to adopt the words of the left.
In this post, the term progressives is used loosely to cover communists, atheists, modernists, secularists, satanists and those who engage in anti-Christ doctrines…those who attempt to progress society without the standards of the Lord God.
The agenda of these groups is evil. However, they do understand one very significant principle.
The principle they excel in is the diabolical use of words and vocabulary.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
This is not surprising. There are those who are of their father, the devil, and the lusts of their father they will do. He was a murder from the beginning and abode not in the truth.
John 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Recorded in Genesis, the devil’s words to Eve were, “Yea, hath God said?”
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
By casting doubt on the word of God, satan tempted Eve. She listened to wrong words, doubted God, and disobeyed the commandment of God. Adam followed Eve. With disobedience to the commandment of God, sin, sickness and death entered the world. Adam and Eve were banished from the garden of Eden.
That Fall of mankind ultimately has brought us to where we are today.
Mankind did not evolve from the slime. Mankind was created in the image of God and fell through disobedience. If you doubt that, if you believe that all societies prior to today were primitive, then consider this. In some architechtural ruins, there is evidence of high level inventions. How did that happen unless in the beginning mankind was already endowed with great abilities from his Creator, but those abilities were lessened and degraded after the Fall? Mankind lost abilities after the fall in the garden of Eden. It is a matter of de-volution, not evolution.
So words matter. Listening to the right words matters. Following the right words matters.
Jesus is the Word made flesh. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the word was with God, the same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The Word of God, the Bible, gives a primacy to words.
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Hebrews 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
We could go on with many more related scriptures. If you have a chain reference Bible or a concordance, you can find many other scriptures besides the ones listed. The topic of words and the proper use of the tongue is one that is covered over and over in the Bible.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
One of the topics, one of the words Jesus spoke about, were words of unity.
Jesus prayed for unity. As a matter of fact, he indicated that the unity of believers would be on of the things that would cause the world to believe on Him.
John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
The importance of unity was understood in the Old Testament.
Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
All of the above is necessary as a bit of a background for the topic at hand. The topic is how progressives use words to change society and how people who don’t want a progressive society need to understand these tactics and resist them and stand on the offensive against these tactics of the manipulation of words.
Progressives tell you that they want to include everyone…that is, until “everyone” believes something other than the progressive narrative.
The problem is that conservatives or Christians are generally a bit more accepting or kind than progressives. They want to be thought of as “nice” or “not offensive”.
So kinder people, but perhaps people who are ignorant of what is at stake, may adopt the left’s vocabulary. Politicians might adopt it because they don’t want to be ridiculed or talked about in the leftist press. But on an everyday level, people may adopt a vocabulary they really don’t believe in because they don’t want to appear “mean” or don’t want to “offend” or lose a neighbor’s friendship. They want to appear “inclusive” and don’t want to be branded as “non-inclusive” because they might lose likes on Facebook, be branded as a “meanie” or even deplatformed.
There are lots of reasons why people may succumb to the temptation of using wrong words. Ignorance is one of them.
The fact is, it is dangerous to adopt the words of the progressives. It is dangerous to society because it moves the posts and pillars of society. Remember the primacy of words discussed above.
I would go so far as to say it is sin.
Example.
“Woman’s choice”. No, actually, it is the murder of a baby.
“Woman’s health care”. Ditto as above.
“Family planning”. Murder of fetuses, of babies.
“Planned parenthood”. Abortion clinics.
“Birthing person”. There is no such thing as a “birthing person”. A person who gives birth can only be a mother, a female, born a female. Not a man. To use the term “birthing person”implies certain things about the person using that term. One of the things it implies is that the person or group using that term denies the truth of the Word of God that honors the Lord God as Creator who created male and female.
“Diversity”. This is a term that is not what it seems to be. The word “diversity” has become a method by which a minority is used with the pretext of serving the interests of the minority, but actually it is not the minority group that is benefitted. Ultimately, a small group, behind the scenes, in power, uses the issue of “diversity” as a way to funnel money and power for their own oligarchial purposes. That money can be used, for example, to pay lots and lots of TV time to advertise for radical candidates, in the name of “diversity”. But these candidates are never as they seem. Looking back, do their words match up with their subsequent actions?
If you doubt this look at all the “wars on” “whatever” that have been touted through the years. Who is richer and has more power? Does the minority group that was touted as being in need end up having a better life or do those who used the issue of diversity or “war” on an unsuspecting population, end up manipulating that topic for their own benefit?
This is why it is dangerous to use their language. They really don’t care about these topics in the way that they say they care about them. It is a form of double speak. These oligarchs and their mouthpieces attempt to convince good-hearted people who live and work at a “working man’s” level of society, that they, the oligarchs, really care about an issue, when they, the oligarchs, don’t. These oligarchs who operate in the background, and their mouthpieces, care about the collapse of western civilization and the bringing in of a total new world order, “a great reset”, as a book by the same name indicates. And through that “Great Reset” which they are pushing for, they hope to attain even greater power and wealth than what they currently have.
Back to words. Don’t let them push you in a corner using their words. They are helpless if you are on the offense and push back. They use domination and various psychological tricks to move the goal post and push society in the direction they want. These rules were written by Saul Alinsky in Rules for Radicals. Saul Alinsky, in his writings, makes mention of Lucifer, which is the name of this creature before the fall from heaven, when it became known as satan.
Once enough of the conversation has been changed and enough people have been brainwashed into the wrong narrative, politicians, afraid of losing their place, are more susceptible to putting in legislation that would not have made any sense 30 years ago, 20 years ago, ten years ago, or even five years ago, but now, politicians are afraid, because their constituents are using the same language as the progressives.
This is why every voice is important. Every voice that refuses to be silenced is important. Every voice that refuses to be brainwashed is important. Every voice that pushes back makes the job of the progressives harder.
Having said all that, I’m going to take this to the next level of some of the next goal posts that I see the progressives attacking. This is not the first time this has been written about recently, but it is good to review what progressives are doing so that they can’t accomplish their purposes.
There is an agenda. The progressives throw out some poison through an article or event. They watch what happens. They see how society reacts. They see if they can use it to weaken society. If it doesn’t work, they try something else.
Their principle is “never let a crisis go to waste” and if they can create a crisis, a ruckus of some sort, they will use that to divide and conquer society if they can.
So this is where I see them going next, and again; other people see this as well. But for those who are unfamiliar with this, you need to know this.
Recently, there have been some agendas to use the war of words against some conservative groups. There have been implications that the use of patriotic symbols implies some kind of radical or terrorist group.
Now the, newest, latest along these lines, in the case of Catholics, is that the use of the rosary implies that these groups who pray the rosary are some kind of radicals. This is a lie about Catholics; Catholics are not radicals for praying the rosary. There was a hit piece written in The Atlantic that implies this.
Whether you do or don’t totally agree with a particular conservative or religious group, do not get on the bandwagon of allowing those words to be words that you adopt.
What goes around, comes around.
Jesus talked about the power of oneness.
Mark 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
Conservative voices form a wide swath through many layers of conservatism, some more active or not, and through various denominations.
If the progressives start going after a denomination that is “not yours”, don’t get on that bandwagon. Because if they eliminate one denomination, the next one they might go after is yours.
They might criticize your group for something else. If they can succeed in picking off one group, then they can freeze and target another group. These are Saul Alinsky’s tactics. Don’t let them draw you into imitating them.
Do not feed into this.
Remember the words of Jesus.
Mark 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
If you don’t understand why another denomination does something a certain way, as long as that denomination is preaching faith in Jesus Christ as the way to salvation, leave it alone.
The oneness of power will come with unity.
Satan knows that. His time is short. And he will use division as an attempt to weaken the body of Christ and conservativies. He will use words to try to cause division within the various members and denominations of the body of Christ. He will drop his poison in certain articles and see if jealousy and hatred can cause division.
That tactic worked in the case of President Trump. It was sad to see someone of obvious talent be fought by so many people. And look where we are today.
A lack of unity will keep the power of God from operating. It doesn’t mean that everyone is exactly the same or works in exactly the same way or even focuses on exactly the same target. But they can work together in a larger sense without fighting one another. They recognize that the enemy is ultimately, satan, and politically, communism and progressivism.
I mentioned this in another post more extensively, but I was in a position to listen to various conservatives talk about how President Trump had “meanie tweets” and so I was told that they wouldn’t vote for him. The “meanie tweet” narrative was started and then some conservatives picked it up. It is a prime example of how this works.
Satan, who comes to steal, kill, and destroyed accomplished those objectives through a “meanie tweet” narrative and voter fraud. There is destroyed economy, a destroyed border, lockdowns, sickness, death, inflation. Satan always comes with soft words. Satan understands that he has to use sly words in order to trick people.
You have to realize there are two influences in the invisible world. One is the Lord God. One is satan who warred against God in the heavens and was thrown down to the earth. And, until satan is thrown into hell and the lake of fire, he roams the earth stealing, killing, and destroying.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I [Jesus] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Since satan cannot get at God directly, he attacks the object of God’s creation and love, mankind.
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Tough love…of all the times I have heard “credits” and “thanks” given, I’ve never heard anyone say something along the lines of that he “thanked” the person who gave him drugs, alcohol, or taught him to party. The credit is always given to someone who had some “tough” love and encouraged discipline and the seeking of a higher pathway.
Do not let the progressives again move the goal posts, this time against conservatives and certain denominations, by using progressive poison to spew out words causing division.
Do not let them convince you to use words that destroy society. Do not let them use you to destroy other conservatives or other Christian denominations.

Since this is another story where lies were put out, where a narrative was put out by the lying media, and many people were encouraged to take up that narrative, the link is published here. It is recommended to scroll down and read the first hand accounts of Ukrainian soldiers.
