Search for truth

14/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Have you felt a hunger for the truth recently?
If so, you are not alone.

Currently the nightly news on TV contains a lot of poorly disguised advertisements, ‘stories’ designed to increase fear, a lashing of political spin and something about sport. Whatever it is, it can no longer be called news.

The newspapers aren’t much better. My ‘go-to’ sections are the death notices and the comic page (if it exists). I then turn to the section on world news to gauge whether or not there is any balanced reporting, conclude that it isn’t there, and put the newspaper down. That’s if I have picked it up at all.

I am finding that my scrolling time on Twitter is shorter than ever, and that the levels of overt censorship are disturbing. When I dig down into the comments, it seems that the trolls have been more active than ever, and that comments that dissent from the opinions of the trolls are harder to find.

Some sub-reddits on Reddit are even worse.

On the good news side, there are valiant people writing blogs and sharing links to breaking news. May God bless them, encourage them, and help them to keep on going.

On the downside, trying to determine what is fact and what is nutcase conspiracy theory is exhausting.

There’s a massive battle going on to determine whether our future will be under the great global reset (totalitarian socialism) or under God’s divine reset. Yet so many are still asleep to the reality of the battle and the far-reaching consequences of the outcome.

Therefore my hunger for truth is growing, and my tolerance for banality is decreasing.

Where can truth be found? In the Psalms, and in the accounts in the Bible that display God’s unchanging character.

In every age there is a time of reckoning, where God goes through the accounts of communities and nations, and where judgement comes upon nations that have flouted His laws and reward and advancement comes upon nations that have kept respect for His laws and decrees.

When God decrees against a nation, it is a forever decree. Pick up your bible, read through Ezekiel 29, especially verse 15, and ponder it seriously. ‘Egypt will be the weakest of kingdoms and no longer dominate other nations; I shall reduce her, and she will not rule any more over the nations.’ This is still true today. Does this not induce awe?

2 Peter 3:9 reminds us, ‘The Lord is not being slow to carry out His promises, as anybody else might be called slow; but He is being patient with you all, wanting nobody to be lost and everybody to be brought to change his ways’.

In recent times we have seen nation after nation introduce laws completely at odds with God’s eternal laws (eg abortion, euthanasia, laws against God’s plan for marriage and family, laws against God’s plan for biological gender, laws that permit experimentation and alteration to DNA etc), we have seen corruption in the judicial and political systems, and in the means of communication.

God is still God. There are times when the leniency of mercy ends, and the day of reckoning and the day of judgement begins. God is not to be mocked. Even if the punishment is delayed, it still arrives; and the longer it is delayed, the more severe the balancing of God’s scales of justice will be.

That time of reckoning is soon.

The heinous injustice of firstly the electoral fraud and corruption in the U.S.A presidential election, and secondly the refusal to acknowledge the electoral fraud and corruption, and the refusal to co-operate in changing the unjust outcome, is tipping the scales towards the day of reckoning. Since if the Lord of all justice permits this gross injustice to stand, it calls into question the very nature and character of God. Will the Lord of all justice not see justice done on earth, and done speedily?

But the ultimate outcome rests with us.

If we do nothing, then the reckoning will happen through the persecution of the good; increased darkness, blatant evil and horror will be our punishment.
If we take God more seriously than ever before, and plead for mercy together with true repentance, then He will purge the world of the sources of corruption, if we have sufficient resolve to co-operate with Him in ridding the world of it.

It takes something like this for a nation to get sufficient resolve to do the necessary painful work of change. For example, the electoral methods in the U.S.A. have been different between counties and between states, with no political will to standardize them and remove the openings for corruption, because from time to time each side benefits from the possibilities for such corruption.

During these difficult weeks following 3 Nov 2020, the flaws have been glaringly obvious. This is a once-in-a-lifetime, maybe even a once-in-several-centuries opportunity to clean the system up once and for all. Woe to the U.S.A. and to the rest of the world, if this opportunity isn’t taken with resolve and gusto.

So how hungry are you for truth?

Are you willing to do what it takes to stand up for truth?
How much are you praying about it?
How much are you adding in a bit of self-denial to those prayers?
Have you been independently investigating the available evidence, and weighing up what both sides have been saying, and seeking God’s gift of discernment?
Have you been liking and sharing sources of truth?
Have you been telling those in positions of authority that you expect them to stand up for truth, no matter what?

Jesus Christ is the same today, as He was yesterday, and as He will be forever.
He is the one who transforms Saul the persecutor into Paul the intrepid apostle.
He is the one who does not tolerate the fraud of Ananias and Sapphira; and punished them with immediate death.
He is the one who makes the cripple at the Beautiful Gate whole.
He is the one who warns the seven churches that none of them are measuring up to His will for them, and that there will be dire and major consequences if they don’t respond positively to His warnings.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

May God grant that you learn this the easier way, than the hard way.

If you want to know what is really going on....

... then you need to find sources of news other than the traditional sources of news media.

Here are some you might like to investigate:

richards-watch.org/
Is a very good compendium of both news media and input from tested prophetic sources

themarshallreport.wordpress.com/
Is another blog worth reading with good reports on the USA electoral chaos

www.thegatewaypundit.com/
This is a very clunky website, with a lot of annoying pop-ups, but it is normally first with any breaking investigative news. It does sometimes drift into conspiracy theories, but you should be able to spot the few and filter them out.

But God has also been speaking to His prophets, and there are some who have been earning increasing respect from me.

www.facebook.com/veroinka.west.3
Outstanding among them is Veronica West, although it is a pity that it gets broadcast over Facebook, and often gets censored.

wandaalger.me/
​Is next on that list.

mariomurilloministries.wordpress.com/ 
Has also been giving valuable reflections upon the electoral situation

So next, if you read any of them, you will want to pray.
Unified prayer is more powerful than personal prayer, so these two intercessors are worth following on a regular basis:

www.givehim15.com/
With Dutch Sheets setting out daily reasons for prayer, and starter prayers, is very good

www.youtube.com/channel/UCdeznInNtlfNVLqkN48B_fw
Is the YouTube link for Lou Engle's channel. He is praying through this time of electoral chaos with an eye firmly fixed on overturning Roe v Wade. His calls to prayer are usually short, 7-10 mins, and help keep the fire going.

You might legitimately ask me, 'where are the Catholic voices?', to which I must answer, I don't know, but wish I did.

I do know that it is getting a lot nastier on social media.
Prayer is all important, but we do also need to do our bit to help the alternative news sources get heard, and to let a chink of light in, that God can do a lot with. So, please, stay online, pray, and like and share anything useful that comes across your screens.

The issues at hand in America are much, much, much bigger than anyone realises, involving a gigantic clash between the forces of good and evil for the soul of America (and therefore for the soul of the world). If America doesn't take this opportunity to cleanse its electoral system of all fraud and corruption, then democracy itself is at stake, and with it any hope of being able to live religious and reverent lives in peace and quiet.

This isn't to discount the massive internal clean ups needed through out the world at diocesan level and Catholic education facilities, which likewise need assiduous prayer, but perhaps the American domino of grace needs to fall first before the others can receive the infilling of grace.

O God, arise 
Let Your enemies be scattered
Let those who hate You flee before You
As smoke is driven, so drive them away
As wax melts before the fire.
                                    Psalm 67(68):1-2a

All American Saints and Angels, please intercede that God's complete will is fulfilled at this time in American History. Amen.
