Because of what seems to be the inevitable to those who don’t choose to bow down to the ways and pressures of the world, this “faith” that we say we have, is about to be truly tested.
I believe volunteering to come to earth at this particular time, to fight righteous battles for the Savior, will soon prove to be some of the most difficult and selfless acts in human history. The writing is now on the wall. We knew what we were in for, and we chose this time, a long long time ago.
However on earth, we are quickly learning from history that the masses don’t learn from history. Governments, institutions, corporations of all kinds are drumming to the same beat. “TAKE IT!!” and if YOU don’t, YOU are going to hurt others! It’s your fault! “TAKE IT!!” The “solution” to our health and safety, “YOU must take to be saved, and to save ME!”. All for the “greater good!” Let us ask this question….At what time in human history have the people forcing or coercing other humans to “behave” a certain way, have ever been the good guys when the story has ever been bounded into the book and later read? When?
Todays made-up science of the day seems to be the new forced religion, and the “solution” seems to be the new savior of the world. Is this really the ONLY way? Has the science really been proven “safe and effective”? What is the definition of science? And are we really to trust our Government, especially in the year 2021? These are questions we need to ask ourselves when almost every institution is borderline being forced to “believe” in what is being taught by this same world government.
Speaking of, I’m still looking throughout the scriptures were the Saints of God teamed up with “righteous” government officials to save the world together. I haven’t found that story yet. But maybe our world has progressed so far into great morality that right before Jesus comes again, corrupt governments, secret combinations, and wicked high priests aren’t even a thing. Maybe in 2021 we are the second City of Enoch and we don’t even know? Maybe society is so incredibly good and holy that the enemy of the last days are those who are simply questioning those who claim they have all the answers and can’t and won’t be questioned? Maybe the enemy of the last days are those looking to the scriptures to see heroes who stood for freedom and liberty, and are unrighteously trying to mimic what they did? Who knows.
Or could it be that The Great Divide is here? That evil really is on full display? That the devil is real, and the scriptures prophesying of the last days, and what really will happen, are actually happening? And the whole world really is deceived? (See D&C 112 23-26)
Why are we so wildly divided? Could it just be that God not only send His choicest and strongest spirits on the earth to fight for Him, while simultaneously sending his most disobedient at the same time? What if the fight between Liberty and Captivity will continue on for eternity, not just this tiny planet in in this tiny galaxy? That Force vs. Freedom is a universal war in heaven that will commence with every Adam and every Eve, on every planet? I believe God isn’t only a God of peace, but God is war. “The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.” Exodus 15:3 It’s because the war will NEVER end. And we are we to become out of all of it?
Is this not a proving time to see if we will choose liberty over captivity, freedom over bondage, light over darkness? Our whole lives learning about this war, even before we came to earth (Jeremiah 1:5) it seems has finally come to a head. Right here, right now. And the pressure will only compress down harder with more force, coercion, manipulation, and fear. Ironically all in the name of safety and love. And that’s why we must rise by speaking and acting on truth to the powers of darkness.
Satan is incredibly good at what he does. Like God, I don’t believe the devil works in time as we know it. He operates in a different dimension and that’s why it’s so amazingly calculated. He has been sowing seeds of discord and confusion for a very very very long time. Right now his wicked harvest is finally happening and that’s what we are witnessing. His plan has been set in motion long long ago and he knows who’s who. Satans plan will always be to divide and alienate, while God will ALWAYS gather and liberate.
Satan HATES those of us who have been given the gifts to see it and call it out in the last days. It’s why Satan has attacked these spiritual warriors their whole lives. It’s because he knows who who they are, even before they figure out who they are. That’s why turning to the Lord and asking for strength, hope, peace, and love, are so important. They are gifts that can be given if we ask. If we are scared, ask for faith. If we have despair, ask for hope. If hate has entered your heart, repent and ask for love and light.
It’s true the devils and demons are there to confuse and hurt you, but if the opposition in all things is true, it means many Holy Angels and guardians are there, willing and waiting to support and help us, if we just ask. As you continue on following your Conscience, the light of Christ, the Iron Rod, many will mock and point fingers of scorn. Many will call you names and say you’re crazy. Many will say you’re an apostate. Many won’t understand your spirit. But it is our duty to love them anyway, even if in the worst case scenarios we have to ultimately disassociate ourselves from them.
God intended us to be free. God is Liberty. (2 Cor 3:17) He intended for us to make righteous decisions for us and our families, which is an eternal principle. The family is the patriarchal order of heaven. Nothing supersedes that order. God not only wants us to overcome and sit in his throne, but also wants us to become like Him. (Matt 5:48) Acting and working in doctrines of this universe, which universe is made up under the principles of agency. And without agency we can’t become who He is. So I ask, who does God want us to become in heaven? A leader or a follower? Every son and daughter who grows up to become like their parents will come to a time when they must spread their wings and fly, where they too must start making decisions for their children without asking what to do, every single child of God who wishes to truly progress.
My testimony of God has only strengthened this last 1.5 years. Why? Because it’s finally now time to put everything we’ve ever seen, been taught, watched, and observed, and into massive amounts of action with faith in God, who is the Author and Finisher of this story we have the great opportunity to live in.
What’s it all worth if we can’t have the freedom to choose? If we aren’t standing for freedom and liberty here and now in this spiritual war, why would we choose to stand for freedom and liberty in the life to come?
We are here now and the test is real. What an awesome time to be alive. Angels are cheering us on trying to help us where permitted. God send His Son to help fight these battles for us, but we must arm ourselves with righteousness for whats about to come. Because this is just the beginning. Keep the faith. Choose love. Choose light. Now is the time to see what we will do. What are we made of?
