Stand firm then … In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:14, 16 (NIV)

Just to serve as a reminder, the point of this series is bringing to light some of the methods that Satan and his minions are using against us in our daily lives to take our focus off God.

Last week I promised you part two of my take on “climate change/global warming”. Don’t worry, I’ll get back to it.

However, there is an individual that’s been on the periphery of my awareness for quite some time now, and a new video concerning him has been posted recently on Youtube. It’s on a channel titled Mr Reagan—which, by-the-way, has several really informative videos that you may want to check out for yourselves. But the video that I will be referencing in this installment is titled Jussie Smollett / George Soros / Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez. Here’s the link:

Stand firm then … and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Ephesians 6:14, 15 (NIV)

Just to serve as a reminder, the point of this series is bringing to light some of the methods that Satan and his minions are using against us in our daily lives to take our focus off God.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m mildly interested in science fiction. I enjoy everything Star Trek—apart from its current, “politically correct” and feminist centric, iteration whose title I refuse to share. The original show began its television run in 1966. Now, for those of you who live under a rock, it depicts a futuristic space saga with plenty of colorful (literally) aliens, horrific (literally … I mean, the special effects were terrible by today’s standards!) monsters and flashy (literally) starship battles. In other words, great fun! What it also depicts is an idyllic Earth centered society in which poverty, selfishness and war (at least on Earth) are a thing of the past. The social structure is framed loosely around the individual’s talents and skills. The product of a person’s “labor of love” is contributed to society, and then extrapolated to the nth degree for the benefit of all. There is no concept of wealth, class or status. In other words, people do what they enjoy, and they want for nothing, because … well everyone contributes something different, and there’s enough diversity of product that all needs are easily met and beyond. I would define this society in today’s terms as socialist or possibly even communist, and either of these societal models would, in a perfect world, be … well … idyllic.

I know, at this point — assuming you got this far — you’re asking … so what?

Stand firm then … with the breastplate of righteousness in place … Ephesians 6:14 (NIV)

Let’s take a trip back in time. Climb inside your DeLorean and hang on!

It’s the late 1940’s. WWII, the most devastating conflict in human history is over. Men and women all over the world are returning home to their loved ones, ready to restart their lives and get things back to normal, working farms, having babies and living with them in peace and prosperity. But some people’s idea of prosperity is very different than others. This becomes terribly apparent in the war-torn remnants of Nazi Germany. After having its economy, landscape and its very people beaten beyond all recognition, a struggle arises between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a.k.a., the Soviet Union, over whose way of life is a better model for the ravaged country (or maybe it’s just that the U.S.S.R. wants the territory for itself … anyway). Suffice to say that a wall is erected and two of the world’s most powerful countries, and former allies, are locked in a conflict that would last decades longer than almost any other war in history, the so-called Cold War.

Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist … Ephesians 6:13-14 (NIV)

I’ve heard it said, by many of my fellow believers, and if I’m honest by myself as well, that God is in charge of everything. That we must all trust that whatever happens, it’s His will. That we must rest in the knowledge that we have only but to accept whatever His will is. But, is that last sentence really true? Must we only accept what His will is?

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10-12 (NIV)

As I write this article which is due for publication on April 1st, it’s the 26th of March. Before I took my shower this morning, I had no idea what the Holy Spirit wanted me to write about. But it just serves to amaze me how direct He can be in giving me the message He wants me to convey to you.

But this message is going to take a while. And you may want to hold on to something.
