I agree. When one of the selected appointee for USA the supreme court could not give a definition for the word '' woman", then you know what position the USA is on the step. That was a very sad day and painful to watch and listen to.

One can look at these events in two fronts, one from a humanistic view and the other biblical. The one with the humanist can vary, in that the capalist are the one percent who are profiting huge profits and causing poverty and inequality and therefoe something has to be don. Also, he can have views of the WEF, whose stated agenda is to bring stability to the world through changes in the way we work and uses the world resources. Therefore all conuntries must come into compliance with their stated goals as laid out in their published work on the Fourth industrial revolution, with outlines for AI and the technical revolution . The next on biblical and prophetic view points are simply that these times and events are upon us as written in the word and how they are interpreted and received is to how the believer will make his call. Protest are effective in bringing down nations and the planners of these events know that they have to push the envelope to get the attention . The days of social media wins over mind. The unbeliving world wants the justice in every sphere where they perceive inequality and they are using the tools of the powerful media who now takes sides to sway public opinion. We all have to make choices , as I am sure there is conflicts in a family with different views on local and world events. The children of tommorow will grow up in a very different world from the ones we left. How would it be, is . One more, this AI thing is here and it seems like it is something that no one will be able to control as it increases in speed and functionality. It can only be one thing, satan in this form that then controls the world. Does it not all adds up, covid, the wars, and uncertainty, that will cry for rulership.

Well, when you want a regime change you put boots on the ground to establish control of the captial and either send the leaders in exile or let them flee. The middle eastern countries which have and ideolgy that the Israel cannot exist as a Jewish state must be eliminated. The 1948 war, demonstrated that clearly. They know, Israel has an fromidable defencse and offensive army and would not put boots on the ground . They can weaken and frustrate them by showing their ability to send their weapons of war from far. The leader of Israel has to do what must be done to eliminate their capabilities and thus the war they are in now. Pray for Israel, the their enemies would be routed and their plans fail. As someone said the phrase "our prayers can go places where we cannot ".

They very well know the biblical scripture as their book has really been a plagiarize counterfiet of the bible. They want their book to be the true revelation of God, as they always mention that the bible is corrupted. They conquerd and converted millions by the sword and their ideolgy is for every person to convert to a muslim or be subordinate to them. You have to do a little research into their ideology to see why they hold their views and dogmas.

You know, everytime I get the opportunity to outline the gospel and be in defence of it, I just face opposition or silence or rejection. Seems like no one wants to hear anything of he bible. There are a few who would agree with some bible verses, but their life on a whole is not living as salvation found. There is a lot of mocking and quoting of what others say of Jesus ect. But I sow the seed and leave it there. I tell you, it seems to me, most of this entire young generation is not intrested in spiritual matters, but are engaged in the monetary world ,technology and leisure.

It just astounds me when they show a map of the middle east with Israel and Iran highlighted. Iran looks like it's about 80 times larger. Iran, never had the capabilities before to send ballistic missiles and such with range and accuracy. The middle eastern countries has caught up with the technology enough to launch destructive weapons from their own soil, so that they don't have to fight conventional war and be humiliated like in the previous battles. Satan kingdom is at work to manipulate people to isolate Israel and use governments and institutions to condem Israel for being proactive in their survival in a hostile environment. Really, don't know how they will survive, unless there is divine intervention and protection as others have mentioned.I will say too. Prophetic revelations and how they play out are not to my full understanding, but I read those who comment on them. Their are supernatural things that are taking place in all the lands that live in so called peace and security. People are being controlled by demonic forced to worship an invisible spirit, of course which cannot be seen, but could be felt within their senses and body, and also reflects on their economic life. This is true and I will not go further into it . God is my witness and it is he I am accountable to in the end.

Indeed, it will show true liberty for any citizen to protest their cause peacefully. There is the sphere in the manner which protest should be done and in accordance with the law of the land. The universities and colleges are place of learning and while students group and others have the right to protest, it should be done without interruption of the institution law and activities. I think protest of political and war events should be done on the streets and with letters to the leaders of the land. I really don't know how to phrase a reply like this to be socially correct, but I guess what I am saying , is places of learning are there just for that. If the schools and universities are found to have corruption, then it should be made public in the media and to the government officials and investigation be done. To be frank, the universities have for the most part gone woke and is part of the havoc that is being pushed to bring about the "New World Order".

I had issuer earlier on where, I could not sleep for months and months. It was demonic oppression which I knew for sure as I have been in spiritual battles . That is a story for another day. I can write a few pages here of the struggles I went through and to a lesser extent still go through. Please, if by any circumstance you are going on meds, read and research the drug thoroughly, as some of those would get you on them for life, as they become dependent or a crutch that really is no cure. Not saying you should not seek medical advice, but you must also know that the Christian are in spiritual warfare and Satan comes to oppress and wear down the saints. Take your position on Christ and stand firm no matter what. You know and you must realize , you are not alone in these struggles. I am sure many here are going through many things, but are afraid or timid to share them. If I speak my issues, then it may sound pitiful and hence I refrain from doing so. I have shared a bit before here a while back, but I don't want to do so anymore. My name I choose here is because of so much battles that took place in the spiritual realm, that I always remembered King David in his battle with Goliath and also Ephesians 6. I am a warrior , never touched a gun in my life or fought with any man, but with the spiritual host of wickedness in high places. Stand strong in the Lord sister, the devil is a defeated foe. You will pass on your battle stories to your children and others as you testify of the truths of this world we live in, the seen and unseen.

I think for a believer, petition for our needs and for others are natural order, as we are encouraged in scripture to do so. I am sure or hope all would ask for divine providence and for the leading our life in the direction that would favor good outcomes. Also, we must portion out our time for chores and other daily necessary funcitons. Don't know how to ansewer further, but I take the point you are making with encouragement to persevere in all things in Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5 16 Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); 17 Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; 18 Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].

Maybe I can place a plugin for a truly wonderful radio station that I found a few months back , and it's all I listen to when I am in the car. It is my devotional time so to speak. Take a listen and let us know. No commercials ect. There is lot of repeats, but the more I hearof it I don't mind it at all. It is a Christian music only station. KLOVE.COM

All that you mentioned are what they are. They are also jewels that inspires and refreshes like a cup of coffee on break time. Oswald Chambers quotes makes you ponder as you read them, so staying at the fountain a bit to drink of the goodness that those minds are blessed with. Some are gifted to pen those words that soothes the soul .

Following up , I would like to ask, what or where is the reference point used to determine North and South ?. US is to the west if using physical geographical position and say using Israel as the center point. According to google, Turkey is at the center of the geographical location on earth.

Realistically though, problems are not solved on their own. It takes effort from both our human abilities and our spiritual journey . Does not matter if we focus on just the spiritual part of our life, the cows still have to be milked, the roof still has to be replaced and sometime, if not often ,the help of community relief those burdens. The spiritual supplication that is sent up, works in ways as each experience and accepts their answer. The main difference is that, the physical part of our life we can see before us and the spiritual is as to the testimony of the receiver. So, with his testimony, he shares of the wonder of the living God. Paul was called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of Christ. If a believer feels that conviction, then he has to emulate Paul's life, which is a task that you have to be prepared for. In our spiritual journey as a "born again" believer, we now have that built in conviction to share the gospel. Your question though, if one is not careful, can lead to neglect in family and other areas, so I think a balance has to be struck.

At 64, I still have that energy driven mindset, cause my job as an Service Technician, mainly with Photcopiers and printers, would present challengers that would keep your mind thinking of solutions, as they can be varied. The word "Jamming" is famous for those machines as paper has to pass through the machine, which does it reading and writing to the paper, which a myraid of problem can occur. Finding the solution in quick time, especially when you are at a customer location, means you gotta be "processing solutions" all the time. Some are known, while others can pull hairs. Hardware and software is involved, so you gotta know your stuff or reach out to the help forums . Pure energy needed indeed. Sorry Neighbour, you just got me started with your post. Ah, doing things and being satisfied with results is indeed plesant for the soul.

Paul did heal the sick and raise the dead. Those are huge problems that affected people. They were done so in the preaching and teaching of the gospel, as part of the overall well being of men. Solving problems is part of the natural world that we live and which has evolved into this huge machine that we have to deal with. Some men are chosen to do the dedicated task of leading men to Christ. Are pastors ordained by men or God ?. The Christian is always reminded though, that he is a soul winner and his task is always at hand in the different situations that he encounters daily. Luke 9 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
