Testing 1,2,3...
Is this thing even on?
So it begins, or should I say, ends?
It seems like only yesterday I was running thru the backwoods of a small rustic little town in Georgia. Years later I find myself running thru woods again, but now here in Arkansas.
I was raised Southern Baptist, milled over by First Assembly of God and eventually set out into the world with a decent understanding of the Man upstairs. I was taught that Jesus Christ was the only way to the Father in Heaven.
Over the past few years I’ve seen this old world fall deeper and deeper into chaos. Brother against brother, children against their parents. Truth, the real Truth, is still the same as it has been this whole time. The problem is though that most folks find “their” own truth. What they “feel” becomes their truth, and in the end, they end up further and further from the actual truth.
Do you support a certain movement? Do you follow a certain group? Do you support trans rights or do you believe in Q? The sad simple fact remains… What does the good Lord above think? Do you support something simply to fit in with your friends? Do you follow some idea or cause because you actually believe in it or do you simply want to fit in with others?
Over the past few years I’ve come to know quite a few people who believe in various things that I personally can’t accept, or things I believe are being spoken by “false prophets”. From one end of the spectrum to the other, there are tons of things that are simply false, or could simply not be true for one valid reason or another. There are also things that no one can prove and yet they still believe to be true to the point they fight with their own flesh and blood.
Accepting something from someone just because they claim it is true is surely the fastest way to self destruction. Over the years I have dived down quite a few rabbit holes seeking knowledge and the real truth. Some times I find enough to feel comfortable in the information for the moment, but I often never find enough to reach the real truth.
Do you follow someone who posts on X or TruthSocial? Do you believe every word they say, or do you take the time to break the information down and do your own research? Probably not… Are you a “Q”er? What do you think is really happening with our government right now? I seriously doubt posts from back in 2017 have much relevance nearly 7 years later. How many times has a message been “Decoded” that points to a particular Q post that came to fruit?
I spent quite a few days here recently watching Trump “Decodes” and I must say I haven’t laughed so hard in my entire life. Some of them were nothing more than grasping at straws hoping to find a Q post that would answer the day’s top questions they had on their minds. Just some of the statements I heard included things like, “Wait, the commercial started at 8:47pm, so ##847 must be important…”, “Trump just said 314 agents were there, so 314 must link to an important Q post”, and so forth and so on over and over.
Nothing ever panned out to match exactly, and even some podcasts had hosts that couldn’t even agree on how to decode. I know we all have the need to belong, to be a part of something, but following just to follow isn’t good. Ever play the game, “Lemmings”? It had little creatures that would literally walk off cliffs to their death because they simply followed the person in front of them.
Stop blindly following things without researching it first. Period… If Q is real, why all the mystery? Why all the waiting? Why all of the events that never come to fruit, but instead get covered up the day after by more stories with no proof?
Like that old Tom Cruise movie, “SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!”. We the people are overworked, overstressed, ripped off, stolen from, taken advantage of and more often than not, abused and ignored.
Knowledge is key here folks… The good book lays it out pretty clear in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge”. So if there are so many false prophets running around and spreading nonsense and lies, where does one go to find the actual truth?
James 1:5-7 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Every day I pray that God gives me the focus and strength of faith in Him to remain waverless in order to receive His words and wisdom. We all waver at times, the catch is to repent and continue to seek God in all things that we do.
Until next time…

What you were taught and how you believe is a personal thing. Some study chapter and verse of a specific Bible and any one who just reads a different bible is wrong to that person. Heaven forbid they read the Koran, Torah, Upanishads, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, etc. Those are Satanists to those that were taught blinders are the way. I'm more open minded. There are many paths to the top of the mountain. It's not for me to judge another's path. I've read all of those books and more. Belief is a powerful thing.
When you understand the level of lies we have been taught, our parents were taught and taught us. Our grandparents and great grandparents were taught and taught their children. I now question everything and only believe what I know in my heart to be true. And quite frankly it doesn't fit within most religions. I'm blessed on many levels. My grandmother was a Christian Science Practitioner, she healed people by praying to God over them. She instilled within me a powerful belief. A belief that the energy that created the body heals the body (Joe Dispenza). With belief the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains. I'm at the point now I believe however you reach higher altered states of consciousness with the intention of becoming better and helping others. I believe that is the way. I'm not saying to take substances to alter your consciousness for the high. I'm talking about using medicines to reach a level of connection with your creator that has an impact on you that is positive and you integrate that experience to gain a better understanding of self. Understand I'm a pretty natural person and have basic beliefs. Hippocrates said let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food. I believe that whole heartedly. But if I break my arm and the bone is sticking out I'm gonna have a doctor fix it. But once it's fixed I'm back to using plant based medicine. I'm not a chapter and verse person. I believe the bible was written in Arabic, Greek and Hebrew. To study chapter and verse from someone's translation I just don't trust who translated it. There are words in each of those languages that don't translate into English. So you are studying someone's translation. Also words change meaning over time through society. Gay in the 1920's meant Joyful It has a significantly different meaning a century later. And how many centuries have passed since those translations... Just my thoughts from reading your article. Good article it causes people to think something most of the population don't like doing.... Peace...
Very well written!! We all need to seek God and do our research. I personally will listen to many peoples opinions, but seek God and my own research for answers. I honestly think His words and discernment are valuable. There are many stuck in anger and they cannot see past their own noses. You cannot be objective if you don't take the time to find some peace with your creator first. If it isn't well within my soul, my day will not be as productive as I would like. With everything that is happening and has happened it is to easy to blame everyone for everything. The fact is we all fell for this brainwashing to some extent. We need to except our own part in the puzzle as we seek God's face and hopefully find the truth. A certain person we know, will not except anything researched saying it is all been tainted. But, I disagree. When you find the right sources that go against everything you have heard you must take the time to at least look. Generally, there are always little nuggets of truth even in lies. God is the ultimate source of truth and love. If I am angry at everything and everyone, my soul is not in the right place. I cannot connect to God properly. Therefore, I cannot find the answers within. I didn't mean to preach. LOL! I am very happy to see you writing!! I am proud of you. Thank you! Keep writing brother. It is very therapeutic. Much love!! God Bless.
