Courage is NOT living without fear. Courage is being scared to death and choosing to DO THE RIGHT THING regardless of the suffering-price you ALWAYS have to pay. Good conquers evil but always at a price of suffering. The avoidance of suffering is what the term cowardice means. You are cowering, running away in fear from the suffering. Thank you JESUS that you stayed the course and suffered for my SINS that you were innocent of!
For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai , ‘plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.
Yirmeyahu (Jer) 29:11 CJB
God has Not given us a Spirit of fear, but of a love, power and a sound mind (self disciplined)...
Keep your reactionary emotionalism in check, in times of high stress, a knee jerk reaction can do allot of damage to yourself and others. Selah (pause and consider) think and pray before you make any life changing decisions.
Love & Prayers
*Ezekiel 37:4-5 NIV* “Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.”
*37:4,5* The dry bones represented the people’s spiritually dead condition. Your church may seem like a heap of dry bones to you, spiritually dead with no hope of vitality. But just as God promised to restore his nation, he can restore any church, no matter how dry or dead it may be. Rather than give up, pray for renewal, for God can restore it to life. The hope and prayer of every church should be that God will put his Spirit into it (37:14). In fact, God is at work calling his people back to himself, bringing new life into dead churches.
*Ezekiel 37:26-27 NIV* “I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
*37:26,27* God’s promise here goes beyond the physical and geographical restoration of Israel. He promises to breathe new spiritual life into his people so that their hearts and attitudes will be right with him and united with one another. This same process is described throughout God’s Word as the cleansing and renewing of our hearts by God’s Spirit (Titus 3:4-6).
*1 John 3:17-18 NIV* “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
*3:17,18* These versus give an example of how to lay down our lives for others - to help those in need. This is strikingly similar to James teaching (James 2:14-17). How clearly do your actions say you really love others? Are you as generous as you should be with your money, possessions, and time?
“You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Mattityahu (Mat) 5:14 CJB

[2] We should look to pull each other up and make each other stronger, not cast others aside for being weak or not meeting one's perceived level grit.
Today, I experienced a sense of sadness and disbelief at what was unfolding before my eyes. I spoke with a friend of mine and he provided just the right amount of subtle encouragement I needed. Love is patient, love is kind. We fight on!
Masks? Could they be a very timely 'Blessing in Disguise' for the Underground House Church during a time of massive government surveillance?

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:18 KJV
A journey of a thousand miles is made one step at a time. We are not defeated, because Jesus is our victory. We will redouble our efforts in prayer and putting feet to our prayers, as God leads. Remember that God works ALL THINGS together for good to those that love him. (Rom 8:28) This is where we walk by faith, when we can't see it in the physical. But thank God we are not bound by the physical, as we are spiritual beings in the kingdom of God's dear Son. (Col 1:14)
Believe it or not, IT'S NOT OVER YET. What I see today is 100% theater. Nothing real, nothing legitimate. Nothing that has the consent of the people, nor even the consent of the military. I say watch the next 24 hours and see what happens... but also plan accordingly in case the worst case becomes reality. Remember: Biden being "sworn in" doesn't even count if the election was stolen. And the DoD has proof that it was. So just stay tuned and prepare for all possibilities...
@HealthRanger more like 3/4 of America. Trump won by many millions of votes!
Situation Update, Jan 20th – Day of Reckoning: Will the republic DIE or be REBORN?
A fake, staged inauguration stemming from an illegal, unconstitutional election carries no legal standing. Biden was only "sworn in" as an act of theater. It isn't binding to any true Americans.
