NWO Regardless

Whether the globalists are finally successful in their attempts to enslave the human race and we’re forced into centuries of not quite living under the dictates of the elite, or whether the people continue to become aware of what is going on and resist what is coming, we’ll have a New World Order. Right now we have the illusion of relative freedom with untrustworthy leaders being elected year after year. If we’re successful in making the planet truly free instead of appearing so, it will be a New World Order, just not one ruled by a mephistocracy.

Maybe we should

The southern TV preacher always starts the verse “…For we wrassle not aginst flesh ‘n blood…” I’m not even going to give you the book, chapter and verse because I don’t remember the book, chapter and verse and I don’t feel like looking it up. If you want to read it, it’s in the New Testament in one of St. Paul’s letters. The coordinates of the verse don’t matter. It’s our understanding of it and how we conduct ourselves as a result of that understanding that I am challenging.

The enemy we are dealing with isn’t the politicians and their millions of minions but is the demonic hierarchy working through them. The next step in the syllogism is that if we just pray and fast and bind the strongman eventually those politicians and minions will be set free of evil and will begin to do good and all the world’s problems will go away. Now that is a tongue-in-cheek, deliberate, oversimplification but it is essentially what happens in many people’s minds.

These are the kinds of conclusions people are led to when they looking through rose-colored stained glass windows at the life of Christ. Jesus was more than just the godly man who had humbled himself and submitted to an execution on trumpeted up charges. I really think people get Jesus confused with Ghandi or something. Yes he cast out demons from possessed people. He also braided a rope together and used it as a whip on the corrupt religious bankers who were running the world’s first vending machine, selling lambs and doves for sacrifice. In the first case he was wrestling against the demons in the second he was wrestling against flesh and blood.

While the Devil might be behind what’s going on in the world, he isn’t writing the legislation. He isn’t signing legislation. He isn’t issuing corrupt directives to police or excusing corruption when it happens. The Devil isn’t picking up the pen to write the software that miscounts votes in these overgrown PDAs around the country. We cannot engage in unilateral spiritual warfare and ignore the flesh. There are people who need to be restrained in addition to the “enemy.” And thinking that human beings can have no evil of their own separate from a demonic force is a mistaken and dangerous reading of scripture.

Labels

When you hear the words “conspiracy theory” about a person or thing do not be quick to dismiss it or them. First ask yourself if people conspired to bring about whatever it is. “Conspiracy theory” is a perfectly good phrase when people have conspired. A “conspiracy theorist” is anyone who has the brains and the courage to take a second look at something instead of foregoing thought to follow the lead of a jerking knee.

Kill Your Cell Phone

For years I’ve been paying over $100 a month for cell phone service. For about the past year I was paying for 700 minutes a month for two phones and and using half that amount at best on average. The 700 minute plan was the cheapest I could get. And every time I changed calling plans the damn contract would extend another two years. So while I’d see other people paying less for the same amount of minutes with other carriers I kept thinking I had to stay with Verizon for the remainder and then I could leave. Then before that two years was up I’d get another phone and here we go again. It was like a funhouse mirror version of a revolving charge card. Meanwhile I have two friends at work who spend about $100 a year on prepaid phone service and talk to people on their landlines whether that’s through the phone company, the cable company’s Digital Phone service or Vonage. At first, when I was using the cell phone as my only number I was chasing the feeling of being “mobile” vs. being “wired to the ground with a land line.” I thought that was a more prestigious place to be in. I don’t know about that anymore. I do know it was a more expensive place to be in. Then when I got tied up in that property management mess I had so many people calling me and was having to talk to people I didn’t particularly care to even know at all and then having to jack my minutes up to 3000 at nearly $200 a month for the business, at some point I just wanted to kill my cell phone. I never imagined feeling like that. So after nearly 9 months of feeling disgusted and hating my life and linking that feeling to all the unwanted communication, once I got free of that I stopped using the phone except when I wanted to talk to someone, which wasn’t nearly as often. So now after spending $250 for new equipment and cell phone minutes my cost for phone service will be $24.95 a month and since I will be using the cell phone only for emergencies I’ll add minutes to it when I need to which will not be often.

Holy Spirit Abuse

Early on in my time as a Christian I used to talk fairly regularly to a friend about God, the church and living a “Christian” life. I don’t do that anymore really. Life takes people in different directions and gives them different priorities. During one of our conversations she brought up the subject of following the lead of the holy spirit and allowing the holy spirit to guide her through her day. So I described how I manage getting ready in the morning and said that if there is a machine that I am running I start that and then go do something else that needs to be done. She said I should follow the Holy Spirit for even that and that maybe God didn’t want me to start that machine first. What that said to me is that I was wrong and needed to follow the Holy Spirit, puppet-like through my day. I think I might have tried this process once and felt after a few minutes like it was a silly, useless, pseudo-spiritual mental exercise and I never did it again. What’s the point of being raised by parents if all we’re supposed to do in life is suspend common sense and everything we’ve been taught about living and tap into some sort of Holy Spirit carrier wave? I’ve been dressing myself since I was about 5. I can look around my house and see when the washer needs to be run and I can manage doing the laundry pretty well on my own. I don’t need the Holy Spirit to tell me that stuff. I’m not going to go throughout my day like a human police scanner waiting for heavenly signals before I do basic things I know need to be done every day. I cannot say that I understand the concept of the “still, small, voice.” I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have anything to do with waiting to be told to put your drawers on then your socks or your socks on then your drawers.
