Unfamiliar Times
I’ll take a scrap of bread when it is offered, but I will not succumb to complacency and forgive my master for his cruelty when he behaves, albeit for just a moment, as my friend. Most everyone else seems fine to let bygones be bygones.
Much Ado About Nothing, Todd Hayen, Off-Guardian,12 November 2022
Read, one thing, much like, two-hours (...+/ and too long), and the net, is enough. An uncrowded mind. Writing on Plant a Seed is a spit and a rant, Truthscoop on prepping, with prayerletter(.substack) on personal reflection/direction. To write and speak-out is a break, in a sanctuary of a library.
Blessed with money and no employment, or companions and, —well good. Acquaintances and
outdoor chats and getting (back) into Bible, ringing and singing away inside. Gym and min. time and YouTube clips, a Dr Tom Cowan podcast at night but... readjusting for the next few months, when all honest, sound predictions are; we'll all be in unfamiliar times.
The bad but good. The suffering will be tragic yet brought-upon our by collective selves. Not, ...God's doing. A misreading coming from the Bible's Old Testament and activity in those days; outside of the New Testament. Incorrect and will jump on but not here/this post.
God is here for good, and ideas has it ...in for us, makes no Jesus-dying-for sense. The blessing is that God, is on to and angry about, all who are responsible for abuse and hatred upon others. The leaders of people are the aim and are in for God-trouble. God wants the stopping of their demonic-fed ways and, that's —what the cross, was and is for, in Jesus delivered potential.
The Christian Church isn't 'sitting' (...isn't that the word, eh), in bright and lit shape. Would say local ch. could assist with an intro to a relationship with God on a good Sunday and lot, but there's not one local would expect to find in the UK, isn't led by, and making, adult' children.
As for the children-children, here and every home? These ones, are about-all that require our primary attention and care. Gave up on over 20ish year olds in 2020, (OAPs, be the exception). The hope is we can rescue young ones as they're the decisive group and enemy' central target.
Christian call-themself, or otherwise, and sparked up and alive in truth, know the adversity and contrived chaos is better sooner than later. Delays would be more back-to-sleep and thicker, stuffed up, monster making. You heard it once, twice... get it yet?
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
Victor Hugo
Thus, a dilemma. Should I yelp for joy and hope -or- sink in dark and doldrums? Answer: A time for both, at least call the later one a 'get shaken up'. To otherwise deny is to pretend and all it'll do is build and set up for substantial dis-ease in the head and harder landing. If the world, (i.e. walk-in town and the shops, a pub, church (as/if) or social gathering), doesn't freak ya out, it's a case of lacking sensitivity, dreaming and fantasy that makes no sane sense? Not long now... 'make our mind up time' is upon us.
There is an honest conversation to be had... somewhere, or, if like me; gotta go alone and get through the barriers and into the silence. Total sorter. The stop button and strong reluctance is bound to be due to excess, digital fuzz, and interference. Talk about cocaine-like? Way worse... oh sure, that pussy powder takes the cash but the internet overused is causing all over-driven-use to be on the equivalent of day-long alcohol use. Am off the pints m'self but have no doubts, hours on the internet, albeit subtle and subliminal, is cause of drunken haze.
Opening comments on the Hayen's piece is sound:
These calls for ‘forgiveness’ look to me designed as a psyop on Christians. They’re trying to use one of the features of Christianity against it (a standard Luciferian tactic – they really regard forgiveness as contemptible weakness and never show it themselves – indeed they can harbour grudges for centuries).
Christian forgiveness starts with true repentance….

Reply from Pilgrim Shadow:
“Christian forgiveness starts with true repentance….”
And from repentance follow contrition and restitution, making amends.
These amnesty-askers, by and large, haven’t shown any of that.
Division and departing from people, for most peep. or occasions, isn't a likable move, yet... the alternative is inevitable compromise-along and corruption. If it isn't digital-eyed self-harm, it's the company we keep. That's it and no other tactic works. Peas and our pod. What we sit among and who-with determines our mentality. The unfamiliar a-coming soon and into 2023, if not before, will be unmistakable and deepen any shocks we're so far having. Cities and larger towns will cause isolation in homes, and who we live with, will be the making or breaking of us in most respects. Easy for me to preach, as located in a relative good-as-gets situation. As for y'all there's the degree of capacity and opportunities available?
Can't commend solitude enough although God willing on a UK tour in '23 to prayer walk population centres and do the stuff that New..., and Old, Testament/s -read aright- recommends. Not planning on going to any church services or pubs, meet-up's or happenings; a cafe or library is plenty. Street talking and printed matter dishing-out, that seems a go-er. While previous shared plans for two or three social action projects ...aren't.
The Church (which are local and that's all) is on the forget and carry-on lane. Way of the idol, that took to a contemporary bow to the emperor. Some... do pray, in not many weeks and months, will get the needed holy freak-out and theology-permitting, stop the show and start prayer meetings that have reality and maturity about them. Go and tune ...out, and drop ...in, to God for action stations and get-how to rescue one and all from the deception and lies.
All wounded healers of a kind and sort. The best -and- worst is better than the domestication and inculcation from truth. Jesus' first disciples, before the Holy Spirit came and got inside and on, were a tiny number of upfront failures and wrecks. Gets to this and no/less/little need for God-help.
Not, God's doing, not God 'making us' so. We're given hope to stand up, one at a time, against the corrupting flow and anti-Christ, and do what is the accurate definition of what a Christian is; someone who calls on God.
And this... whatever we self-define as, question or doubt. Whosoever...
