“Have faith in God,” replied Jesus. “I’m telling you the truth: if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be off with you—get yourself thrown into the sea,’ if they have no doubt in their heart, but believe that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. That is why I’m telling you, everything you ask God for, believe that you receive it, and it will happen for you.”
Mark 11:22-24
Jesus said this in light of a prophecy He made about corrupt leadership in Israel. Take this to heart. We will not be swallowed up by Communism. We will not be drowned in corruption. A satanic movement planned a “great reset”, but God planned a reset of His own.
Repentance and renewal is the future planned for us. “In quietness and trust in your strength.” (Isaiah 30:15).
It won’t be easy or that sacrifices won’t be made. Rather, through those things, God will bring us into rest. When corruption, ambition, lust and greed are thrown out, the peaceful fruit of righteousness appears.
Fish are born in water and may not even realize it's even there all around them. Likewise, too many people have been born in freedom. Imagine fish flopping on a dry boat. At that moment, the fish is missing the water it took advantage of for so long. Sometimes, you don't miss something or somebody until it is gone.

Sen. Hawley: It’s time to stand up against the muzzling of America https://newstarget.com/2021-01-25-hawley-stand-up-against-muzzling-of-america.html
@icecream thnx. i am a history buff and after living in china for more than 20 years - have written more on the history and persecution of the underground house church than almost any other author. The censoring of speech that I am seeing in the US and targeting of Christians on social media is not new, but can be found in every single communist society. The tools are different, but the mindset and implementation are almost exactly the same.
the Lord reminded me of this hymn during lock down, we are still in lock down in ireland, im learning to use time wisely, Lord help us all.
Twitter launched a community watch program yesterday that is straight from Mao Zedong's deadly "people have sharp eyes" program - encouraging neighbors to report on neighbors that think differently.
Millions died in China from this program.

In regards to Eugene's post about putting your face in your profile picture, I don't do that anymore because I have been hacked too many times in the past on social media and have encountered too many weird people online. My digital footprint is now as secure as I know how to make it and I prefer to appear anonymous.
This is a good video on an underground church meeting in Canada. As a church in Los Angeles got bombed the other day, I am preparing my heart and mind for the necessity of house church in the future.
