A Word to All Watchmen
Do NOT Be Distracted
The world is going stark raving mad! We are literally on the brink of WWIII and most people are blissfully ignorant of it. Whether that is because they are willfully ignoring it or deceived, I do not know. But, please know that we’re all in grave danger. Yet, in spite of it all, I have peace about it. As such, I would like to give a little advice to all of you who are watching the headlines and worrying about what’s coming our way.
In spite of all the insanity, I have peace in this world. I have peace that I would not trade for anything and it's all because of a deliberate mindset. And so this advice that I'm about to give is not in any particular order. This is how I have decided to live my life and I would like to share it with you and hope that it helps you like it has helped me.
The first thing I want you to know is that you must be really focused on Yehovah and live in his truth! Our answers are found in His word and not in the world. You must truly know what Yehovah has promised us and you must trust in Yehovah to deliver on all of His promises. You will find that once you start following Yehovah and doing what he loves and are against what he hates, you will find more peace and you will find a deeper connection in your relationship with him. So, from this moment forward, you must be focused on him and live in his truth.
The second thing I want you to be aware of is the world that you're actually in! You’ve got to live in reality. This world is fallen and evil exists! There are evil people in control of virtually everything. If you are one those people who is sitting on the fence and/or you are trying to play the Devil's advocate or you deliberately try to stay in the gray zone thinking that will keep you safe, you are more than likely going to fall. You must know your convictions, you must stand on them and you cannot falter. This world is evil and you need to be prepared to deal with that reality.
Thirdly, get away from all the conspiracy theory stuff. It should be clear to you now that everything you thought you knew about our world is a lie. News Flash! They've been lying to us. But, when I say get away from the conspiracy theories, it does not mean stop believing that they're happening. Rather, it means that as you come across one of them, you should expect that “they” the government through their media lackeys, are lying to you. These things that you’re hearing about may actually have some truth to them, but you can rest assured that they’re not telling us the whole truth, just what they want you to know.
When you can finally acknowledge that you’re being lied to and even though there may be some truth to all these conspiracy theories, they lose all power over you. There is no power in LIES! But when the lie is exposed for what it is, remember that knowing it’s a lie does not give you power over the ones telling them either. Power only comes from living in the truth and you need to be aware that the truth is not what your social media algorithms will be recommending. If you're still trying to figure out why people are being evil, you are distracted.
The next thing is that you need to be mindful of those algorithms. It’s imperative that you understand that what you see on social media is not by accident. These algorithms used by the social media platforms are not meant to protect anyone like they claim. Quite the opposite. They are meant to keep you engaged, distracted and confused. Be mindful of what is being suggested to you and be careful not to suck up everything you see. They are coming for your mind and your soul. They want you distracted and asleep at the wheel all the while you think you're actually awake or waking up.
Next be prepared for change! Don't live in ignorance and don’t be a victim waiting to just react. Be proactive. Everything in this world is screaming that change is coming. If you’re trying to faithfully follow Yeshua and the Torah, you need to be mindful that the changes that are coming our way are not going to be good. The fecal matter is about to hit the oscillating cooling device. The only thing we don't know for certain is when it will happen. So, do not live in ignorance! Be ready and be prepared mentally physically, but above all spiritually for the changes that are coming our way.
It’s imperative to also know that fear is not an option! If you are living in fear, it means you don't have faith. You don't have trust in Yehovah. Remember that He is faithful and He will accomplish all that He said He would do. Have faith in Him and know that whatever happens to you, for good or ill, you are in His hands.
Next, don’t pick a side in any of these worldly conflicts. If you pick a side in the fight between the political left and the right or between Trump or Biden you are being deceived. If you picked a side with Russia or Ukraine, you are being deceived. If you absolutely must pick a side, please know that the only side you need to be on, the only side you should be on is Yehovah’s side and his side is clear, it is based on his word. Stay out of everything else. The solutions to our problems are spiritual NOT political. I have no expectation that should one side prevail over the other in the next “S-election” that our problems will be magically solved.
Remember that all these worldly conflicts and agendas don't have anything to do with you. These agendas are being pushed are primarily aimed the lost in order to steer them into believing the world’s narratives in order to steer them to the Beast, or die in Rebellion. These agendas are not for you so do not attach yourself to them.
Next, learn how to tune it all out! Right now, silence can be your best friend. If you can’t see through the fact that everything they’re telling you is a lie, then turn off the news, stop investigating all of this stuff! Learn how to live in silence and in peace. You need discernment!
If, on the other hand, you have the discernment to understand that everything they’re telling you is a lie, then know that you’re going to be attacked. They will try to disturb your peace of mind in order to try and steer you in the direction of one of their agendas. They know that if they can grab you emotionally and move you through your emotions, they can control you.
Next, understand if you're not reading your Bible every day you are not being wise. Reading and studying God’s word is what brings you assurance and this is what keeps you in the truth. Read your Bible daily!
This last point is something that may be hard for some folks to hear but, I’m going to say it anyway. You must know that you may have to let some of your family and friends go! If the people that you know and love will not go where God is leading you, if they do not love God in the same way that you do, there's nothing you can do about that. Now please do not misunderstand me, this does not mean that you cannot be there for them and/or that you're not supposed to witness to them. Just understand that if or when they have made their decision, sometimes there is nothing you can do to about it except pray for them.
