It’s Not Enough

It’s not enough to simply resist the woke, transgender, globalist agenda.  It goes by many names.  Like a chameleon, it hides in different ways and manifests in different ways.  There are different gears, but they work in concert.

What is it that causes the common person, the common everyday individual who seeks to take care of his family, go to work, and be left alone, why is it that some of them, whether religious or not, something within them knows that globalism must be resisted and why do they resist it?

The reason is, whether someone knows this or not, is that mankind was created by God.  No matter how much propaganda is spewed out, the commonsense individual knows that something is wrong and that lies are being told.  There is a spirit within them, a conscience given by God, that knows something is wrong.

Now the educational system, which has been captured by the globalists, teaches that mankind evolved from the slime.  This has never been challenged and so the lie keeps being taught.  Once that lie was in place, they moved on the to the next stage which has been to tell you that all you are, and that all your thoughts are, are chemical or biochemical reactions in your brain.

Why is that a problem?  Well, if all you are is a product of chemical or biochemical reactions, then they will tell you next that what you need are drugs (their drugs which they sell to you for money), whether prescribed or off the street, or alcohol (the new terminology is to self-medicate rather than alcoholism), or to feed your fancies, such as in pedophilia (now called minor-attracted-person), because if all you are is a bunch of chemical or biochemical reactions, their conclusion which they spread is, how can you be responsible for a chemical imbalance in your brain?  They say … come to us … buy our drugs or other products … and this will self-medicate you.

But it is all a lie.  The original problem is not a chemical or biochemical imbalance in the brain.  The real problem is sin.  The root is sin and the fruits of sin are many-hydra-headed.   Mankind is born with a sin nature, broken off from a relationship with God.  That sin nature works with and is influenced by what the Bible calls the world, the flesh, and the devil.  That is the root cause of problems.  Therefore, to radically change, requires repentance, turning from that, turning to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the new birth.

If you don’t realize this yet, you need to … all you are to the globalists is a number, and you are a source of wealth for them.  They focus on making and keeping you sick; you become a lifelong patient and you buy their products from the pharmaceutical industry.  Now there are good doctors, and many doctors become doctors because of a love of humanity, but only the most ignorant and uninformed people have not yet realized how good, devoted, dedicated doctors have been defamed and their credentials and licenses removed for telling the truth about the toxic Covid jab.

What is now called alternative medicine … meaning medicine that deals with lifestyle changes, food, water, fresh air, exercise, herbs, etc. … what is now called alternative medicine used to be mainstream medicine and the only medicine available.  That was until the pharmaceutical / AMA industry pushed it out in favor of drug pushers.  You can’t make money prescribing Vitamin C, but you can make money with pills and treatments that cost thousands of dollars and create a dependence that keeps people going back for years.

There is an unholy alliance between denatured, GMO, chemical-laden food; mainstream medicine; drugs; perverted forms of entertainment; news that advertises all these; and the bottom lines of many corporations and investments.

The choice to get out of their cobweb is to recognize that man is created by God and is not the product of biochemical chance.

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Job 32:8 8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Genesis 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

 

So when the globalists are overthrown, which ultimately they are and will be, what then?

How shall we live?

It’s necessary to go back to the beginning, realize that God created mankind with certain mandates, and go back to the Creator for directions.

It is not possible to create a world without God.  To say … I don’t want transgenderism, I don’t want toxic shots, I don’t want abortion … to have only the correct positions is still not the final answer.  Ultimately, mankind must return to the Creator and a world under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

 

To attempt to have correct moral positions only is to become a Pharisee.  They were well-versed in the law.  The Apostle Paul, before he was renamed as Paul, was Saul, persecuting Christians.  So it is possible to know the law of God and still be fighting God.  Correct theology only is not the final answer. Saul, in the process of change, still needed to receive the Holy Spirit.

 

Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

 

Paul acknowledged that there was a change from being simply a Pharisee to preaching Christ.  He acknowedged that being a Pharisee alone was not enough.

Acts 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

 

Philippians 3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

 

Acts 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:

7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.

14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Lest haply

 

 

Acts 5:34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
