Our world is built on fluff! You deserve better! You deserve this or that! You can have this or that! You can do this or that! Or the biggest of them all, and simplest yet, 'BELIEVE IN YOURSELF,' blah, blah, blah!
I'm not attempting to make light of what is possible, but we cannot afford, especially in the midst of what we are witnessing as hostages this very day and time of July 08, 2021- to miss the significance of the truth in charge and control of saving or destroying our very well being.
President Donald J. Trump, is playing a huge role, for both the USA and the world as we know it, along with true patriots and allied global military forces, however, we might also consider the heart of the prophet, Habakkuk, written between 612-589 B.C., as he was preaching during the last days of Judah, before its fall to Babylon in 586 B.C., found in history books for confirmation; appreciating we are unable to find man's religious materials supported by archaeological discoveries, nor in history books as reference.
Habakkuk foresaw the impending doom and was troubled by two things: 1/ Why God would allow Judah to sin, and 2/, how He could use a sinful nation like Babylon (Babylonians), to punish Judah - and he began to boldly ask God questions, such as:
How long, O LORD, must I call for help? But you do not listen! “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but you do not come to save. Must I forever see these evil deeds? Why must I watch all this misery? Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight. The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted. Habakkuk 1:2-4
Does his heart of expression, to God or otherwise, not sound familiar - not relative to what is taking place around us this very day? To believe in yourself is one thing - but to believe without absolute inerrant and infallible truth behind it and within you, you are at risk of becoming like those who have seriously lost their way …
Bill Gates believed in himself, not in inerrant truth, and became a monster!
Mark Zuckerberg believed in himself, not in inerrant truth, and became a monster!
Hilary Clinton believed in herself, not in inerrant truth, and became a monster!
Celebrities, sadly, too many to count, also believed in themselves, Hollywood and its fiction, and became monsters, imprisoned or executed for crimes against humanity!
The Dalai Lama and Pope Francis, believed in themselves, their religion, and not in the living God, and they too became deceived, partaking in monstrous crimes!
Romans 3:23 says that "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard," and as one of His furthest from perfect, taking three marriage alone to get it right, I'm certainly no one to judge another. My efforts, I believe, are my purpose, to merely encourage open hearts to harness the inerrant and infallible living word as found in the Holy Bible, boasting of its promised Messiah and Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives.
They Open Their Mouths as Wide as the Grave
When has the world ever been locked down before this? When has government ever supported or endorsed a PlanDemic disguised as a pandemic prior to this day and age - AND WHY? When has the government ever supported and endorsed health officials in refusing to provide third party pathologist evidence to discredit any need for pandemic status, masks, or lockdowns, prior to this day and age - AND WHY? When has government ever supported and endorsed mainstream media to block free-speech prior to this day and age - AND WHY? When has government ever denied information to the people, when masses were demanding it with justifiable cause prior to this day and age - AND WHY?
One of God's replies to Habakkuk's questions, is found in Habakkuk 2:4-5, that says:
“Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God. Wealth is treacherous, and the arrogant are never at rest. They open their mouths as wide as the grave, and like death, they are never satisfied. In their greed they have gathered up many nations and swallowed many peoples."
God's reply is in sync with this very day and age, is it not? Are we not a proud people, following our own ways, trusting in self? And are we not a crooked people, ready to argue and fight if necessary, over the trivial, considering movements such as BLM, or Antifa?
Could the Christian's themselves, who judge others, including their own, be falling short of the righteousness in which God is speaking, who should know better, but remain guilty as charged, trusting in the world and not in Him?
Are the current billionaires who control, and/or are from MSM to SM and online shopping networks, not being treacherous and arrogant as they steal and sell private information, censor free-speech, sell human beings, have sex with and offer child sacrifices to the god of this world? Are their mouths and tongues not constantly flapping to distort truth, propagating no law and order, defunding the police, and eager to legalize voting fraud? Are countries around the world not guilty of partaking, and allowing their very own people to suffer and die by the thousands, hundreds of thousands, unshaken if it becomes millions?
Sadly, the world, not just North America, has adopted escalating crime, suicide, low self-esteem, theft, racism, judgement, and gossip, to name a few, as the new norm - BUT THERE IS HOPE around the corner ... and the PlanDemic is being dismantled as we speak.
With that said, and in closing, the book most attacked, ridiculed, burned, and attempted to be destroyed, the Holy Bible, although long ago removed from the Canadian and American education systems, by way of distorted and manipulated truth, still remains as the largest selling book in history; why is that? Take a look for yourself, beyond just a verse perhaps and into a chapter - with teaching unrivaled by any ancient text of antiquity - for it is very much alive and powerful - truly confirming itself as THE LIVING WORD!

PS:
Invest in yourself! Invest in truth!
Consider the purchase of one or all four Holy Spirit led authored books HERE or HERE addressing 'How & why we must connect with Jesus' * 'Man gives us religion - God gives us truth' * 'Lesson to live by' (powerful on grace & gratitude) * and 'Super hero's for Jesus' as a grass roots learning tool - awesome for children as well as new Christians.
I thank you ... and I thank you, Jesus, amen and amen!
