Durable Faith

 The government is lying, the media is misdirecting, and for the most part - the church is avoiding the subject when they should be exposing and confonting the lies.

What is the government lying about?
Most people are focused on them vs us sort of lies represented by partisan politics.  Obama lies. Bush lies. Romney Lies. etc. There are lots of  well documented lies of US Presidents and politicians. But those lies are just the tip of the iceberg. “What if” the fabric of lies and misrepresentation is much broader and it is bi-partisan and pervasive. What if the entire political landscape is intended to keep us divided and to distract us from what is going on behind the scenes?

Watch as Judge Napolitano asked such penetrating questions about government’s lies that his speech went viral and promptly got him fired from a major cable network.

What does the media not want us to understand?

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the National auto determination practiced in past centuries”–David Rockefeller in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991

What critical subject is the mainstream church avoiding and why?

“Christian’s in America are very naïve, they have little or no understanding of the realities of history. What happened in Nazi Germany, can easily happen here. In fact, there are many disturbing parallels between what is happening here economically, theologically and politically and what happened during the Weimar Republic.”

“This is how it will play out. You are beginning to see very quickly two kinds of Christians emerge in the United States and Europe. First, you will see an “Emergent Church,” that goes with the flow of humanistic secularism. In Nazi Germany, the term “Emerging Theology” was a term that was actually used. This will become the State approved Church, like the one Hitler approved of in Germany and currently exists in China. This type of Christian Church will be approved by a totalitarian state because it will empower that state through its complicity. Secondly, you will have the true Bible believing Church that will be persecuted because it stands for Biblical truth. This true Church will largely be driven underground as it is in China.”

“It is absolutely crucial that we perceive current events through the lens of Scripture. The Bible is very clear about what is going to happen in the last days. There will be a one world economic system, a one world government and a one world religion. All of that “Beast” system is emerging before our very eyes.” Paul McGuire

The stage has been masterfully set for the great falling away.

Mt 24: ¹² “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, ¹³ but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”

Some Christians, will turn in their faith, integrity, and theology for peace, provision, and power. The vatican has already endorsed the UN as the best organization to rule the world and gave them an “indulgence” to do the dirty and difficult work that must be done.  Many American Christians are counting on a pre-tribulational rapture to save them from suffering even though 1) Many Christians around the world are suffering persecution now and 2) throughought the ages Christians have suffered persecution repeatedly and regularly and 3) Jesus has explicitly warned his disciples that they would suffer tribulation.

John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

God has prepared a plan that the Church would be the light of the world, and that it will shine brightest in the midst of utter darkness. It is during this coming dark age, that the bride of Christ should be dressed in glory for the return of her bridegroom. We want to be like the wise virgins from the parable of the bridegroom in Matthew 25.

Matthew 25: 1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. ² Five of them were foolish and five were wise. ³ The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. ⁴ The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. ⁵ The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

Having Done All, Stand
When people are confonted with new information and they become aware of imminent risk and mortal danger such as the threat of starvation and tyrrany, it is easy and natural to go straight into a fight or flight response. Some people wake up and then focus entirely on survivalism as the end goal. Self-reliance and Self-defense  are valid components of a prudent strategy, but not the primary focus of DurableFaith. Despite our discernment and best efforts, there will come a time for most of us when we will have done all and we simply need to take our final earthly stand of faith and not fall away.

My goal is to help believers and the church glorify God during the season he has placed us on the earth. This is our time. By understanding the times and preparing yourself spiritually and physically, you can make your Master proud when He does indeed find Faith on the Earth upon His return.

Spiritual preparedness involves prayer, sanctification, wrestling with ethical and lifestyle issues you may not have considered before. Physical preparedness will require honest risk assesment and prudent preparedness. Being a prudent christian prepper puts you in the good company of Noah, Joseph, and yes even Paul the apostle.

Keep in mind that it is going to take time to deal with the information and the emotions that come up as you learn more. There is a natural grieving process that you may experience as you realize you have been lied to and that your current way of life offers very little protection against the days ahead.

Pace yourself, take the learning in stages and be encouraged that God has the answer to the question you are asking in your heart, “How then shall we live?”.

Durable -Matthew 10:22 and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.  But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Faith – Luke 18:8  However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Prepares – Proverbs 22:3 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
