IDK And they can render those same appliances unable to be run at all when the grids become over-taxed, which they eventually will and power will have to be rationed.

I have for long acknowledged all my phone calls are at least recorded if nothing else. Someone knows what I ate for my breakfast but I just don't care. What's in it? We know who benefits from us being afraid. Times will come, maybe I will find myself one day tortured for not denying my faith? But we live now and know how things are heading. Â Whatever it is, God will equip us with what we need. Â No one have any power unless it is given from above. Â And we don't need to be strong, because in our weakness God's might is glorified. Â No matter what if we have Jesus in our heart, we will live forever, maybe not in this life but in the coming. Â I know of so many freaking things that without Jesus I would be totally paralyzed knowing of them. Â Satan is called the lord of this world, that says it all. He has not been idle, as crazy as he might be defying God but he's been busy for sure. But our Lord is mightier and the Creator of the Heaven and Earth. What do we have to be afraid of? It's obvious these things come to pass, although when it gets practical this knowing becomes clearer. Â Let us abide in Him who gave us eternal life in Him.

Matt 10:24-26 24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. NKJV but boy are those who think they are spies in for a surprise!!!  Love, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
