Only Razor Wire?

[Neighbor]

{Don't know were to place this thread]

 

The juxtaposition of worldwide events rattles the recesses of my own mind.

Though I am secure in eternity I do have to sojourn here in the now, and so I do wonder what is going on with the leadership of the land USA? And for that matter the people of the land?

There seems to be angst and hatred  to go around and around yet again, but little resolve that brings glory to God far as I can understand.

At the same time the USA is engaged in an assault by the desperate, on it's southern borders mostly, it can neither put out a welcome mat nor a barrier to entry. At the very same time it finds it can indeed borrow $54,000,000,000 dollars more  than it has on hand to give to Ukraine for it to stand up for something; but what? Plus,  it is about to add another $45,000,000,000 on top of that provided the President of Ukraine comes here and gives some cover to the national office holder politicians for doing it. Is that all that is necessary, a bit of a dog and pony show?

Meantime the USA is running out of potable water for those already here today, has no solution at all for food  nor for housing opportunity for hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of people in need of shelter today, and has millions more waiting  to come in on it's Southern border.

Is this to be the plight of the USA going forward? Are the nation's leaders to continue to be jellyfish floating on the tides, going this way and that?

May God lift us to see and then to bypass this present  mass of seemingly spineless mouthpieces, and open hearts of many  asking Jesus to show the way to live  (today) that honors his glory.  

May God direct individually if not corporately or nationally, so that many may be helped. May I be enlightened as to what I am to do. I do pray for enlightenment to come about in a manner that does not leave many behind, desperate, and in fact dying beside the razor wire coils.

p.s. Since there are participants  on the board from many lands; what of you, what is your prayer for the USA  (If any) and for your own land's people? What do you think is to be the call( From God) to you and yours? And do you think  that call  within your land will be responded to  in a manner that honors the Glory of God?

I believe you see well my brother in Christ, as far as what to do..? Do righteousness in our realms of influence… For this is what all are called to, the end result, for this is His creation, He will glorify Himself, and be proved right in all His ways… So until then, as long as we are found doing His will ‘well done’s’ are in our futures....

As we look to Him, be blessed, Not me

Same problems here as we are now into the millions that have arrived illegally on our very small island. All are demanding housing , clothing ,  food , medical and dental treatment   and even mobile phones be provided  yet they have not contributed to the coffers that are too empty to provide for ort own elderly and destitute . and even though we have no money we can apparently afford to keep the doors open and even provide for lawyers to fight for these illegals in our courts as well as send millions of pounds to the countries they are allegedly fleeing from. My question is if they are not willing to stand for what the believe in the countries of their birth and flee here where are they going to flee to when our country becomes a poor version of the supposed terrible conditions they wont fight to change ? Most do not want to integrate they want to bring all their own laws and customs with them and demand we accept them here instead of the laws that are normal for us It is leading to anger and more strife than we can cope with and I can honestly see a civil war breaking out when out when our own people are unable to find housing or medical aid since it is all given to invaders 

[Neighbor]

Yes Not me, and I think that  is done, done by many quietly and humbly.

Seems odd that the USA will provide a $100,000,000 dollars to Ukraine, yet  has failed to look to the Monroe Doctrine as it's justification to help people fight to survive at their own homelands. As instead they are fleeing from them to come face the razor wire at our border..

 I think I share of your questions asked.  

Personally I think countries are erring in providing what are now considered entitlements, and guarantee of equal outcome regardless of input by individuals.

BUT the world is emigrating isn't it? Like ants on trails, crossing each others trails and fighting for easy passage with guaranteed  security and a chunk of land. 

Perhaps what seems evil to me is not so much evil in of itself as it is consequence of evil.

A man of immense wealth today has used that wealth to fund emigration. I understand that  to be done under the guise that there should be no borders because the world did not welcome refugees ( Jews)  when they were being wiped out  by evil that arose at Germany.

That same evil is worldwide even today, it is once again raising it's head.

Perhaps it is God that is causing the emigration as His own plan for the nations for having turned away His own chosen people. Perhaps it is to further escalate the return home to Jerusalem and Israel of many of them. 

Whatever it is, there are sure lots of people,  million upon millions, suffering  deeply as they lay down for the night with razor wire for their own wall from land to land to land. I of course tend to see the issue on our own border for it deeply affects my well being, physically, emotionally and spiritually. But I am aware that it is not just the USA facing this incredibly difficult challenge. 

I see the tree, but am aware it is in a forest of trees.

What might God be wanting  of me personally and of the people of the land(s)? That is the question before me.

Odd, yes, but knowing that it is God’s creation and not mine, for God does see all, and that no one gets away with anything…

For when God is kicked out of all decision making, only unrighteousness can result… It matters not what form it takes, but only that He is not inquired after… So unrighteousness and doing what is right in one’s own eyes will be the rule of the day…

To that I say, ‘let the world jump off the cliff, for me and my house will serve the Lord’,  it might cost me all, but nothing here is mine, just the Christ He is forming in me…

So to that forming, may I, may we all give our all…

Yes.

It is that service I hope I will  not miss out on nor shirk from. What " small helps" will my Lord put me to, if any, is my first interest. Also I do hope not to be of a nation that will end up bearing great shame for not sharing sacrificial with those in real need, like food for the belly as well as the soul.

Is there no will for nor capacity to develop a "Marshall Plan" for today's need and use? Maybe there just isn't and each will have to do, under the radar so to speak, as they are lead by the Holy Spirit.

In my heart there are no ‘small helps’, when it comes to being obedient to Jesus, either one is, or one isn’t… If one is, that ‘is’ is  furthering His kingdom, regardless of how one’s human understanding rates it… For obedience is all when it comes to Christ, doing what is right in His eyes… Then the question then becomes how can one know His will…? 

As scripture says, let the peace of Christ arbitrate in one’s heart, if something upsets the peace, do something else… That in my understanding, is what is required of one…

Be blessed in your relationship with Him, Not me

What is going on is as plain as the nose on my face—the initiation of a new world order. You will own nothing and be happy ~ Klaus Schwab (WEF), Ida Auken. Tear down and “Build Back Better,” all outlined in the coming U.N. Agenda 2030. Everything taking place is being orchestrated, intentionally, and planned. A digital currency is close to being introduced—a new brand of socialism and enslavement is on the horizon.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

To paraphrase, history is cyclic and repeats itself. Every secular nation and empire has and will fall. Even some intelligent secularists get it:

The Cycle of Nations:

(1) From bondage to spiritual faith.

(2) From spiritual faith to great courage.

(3) From courage to liberty.

(4) From liberty to abundance.

(5) From abundance to selfishness.

(6) From selfishness to complacency.

(7) From complacency to apathy.

(8) From apathy to dependency.

(9) From dependency back again into bondage.

--Sir Alex Fraser Tyler, A Scottish jurist and historian

I dare say America has reached number nine. America has lost the fear of the Lord. Our political leaders are a reflection of our people and society.

If the Lord allows me to live another five years, I suspect I will not recognize the new normal.

For some reason, the Olivet Prophecy and the Second Coming of our Savior, the King of kings and Lord of lords, are at the center of my thoughts after reading your excellent post.

The wickedness of our time simply cannot last for much longer, in my opinion. Of course, no one is certain of the precise date, but the season is given to us, as the Bible informs us, as to when the Messiah will return.  And that right there is the anchor we hold on to, our hope, our courage, our destiny.

2 Thes. 2:1-4 
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,

The subject here, according to my understanding, is the second advent, the return of Christ when we gather together unto Him.

2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

We are told not to be fooled, and we have been warned by Jesus Christ directly and through His servant Paul to beware and stick with what we can document in the Word of God. Otherwise, we will be deceived (spiritually) by the false messiah (Satan, when he comes to earth, right before Jesus returns).

3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

So, it's clear from this passage that Christ is sternly cautioning His disciples (as well as us). The White Horse of false religion, including fake Christianity, is in fact His most important warning because it correlates to the First Seal of Revelation 6. I think that in these latter days, we are called to be vigilant watchmen who will instruct and warn both our loved ones and whoever else will listen.  … and we must also remember that everything we hear must align with God’s Word.

I hope I didn’t get off track from what you so eloquently wrote above, Neighbor.  My apologies if I did.
