Daily Verse | Matthew 28:19
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Wednesday’s Reading: Mark 1-3
It’s Wednesday, my friends, and thanks for reading. Never use a ferret’s tail to dust the drapes — unless you’ve first detached the tail from the ferret.
We continue to watch as the country formerly known as “the Land of the Free” collapses under the weight of the anti-American junta that is the Biden administration and the tyrannical Deep State that now operates openly as an enemy of freedom. From two weeks to flatten the curve, now in its 84th week, to Americans losing their jobs for refusing to take an ineffective, dangerous and experimental vaccine while being refused proven treatments for a virus unleashed on them, deliberately or not, by the Chinese, to a rigged election that installed a dim-bulb racist misogynist and compulsive liar in the White House, to the feds imprisoning misguided protesters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 on false charges of an “armed insurrection” and denying them due process, to the massive failure and humiliation of the Afghanistan retreat, to a Democrat (read: Marxist) controlled Congress trying to push us into permanent bankruptcy by adding $3.5 trillion to our $28 trillion of national debt, to the DOJ labeling parents who protest critical race theory at school board meetings as terrorists — we are teetering on the brink of an overthrow of our republic.
If you’re not concerned, you haven’t been paying attention. This is not a drill — this is the real thing.
Fortunately, some signs of life are starting to appear. Southwest Airlines had to cancel thousands of flights over the weekend as pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, baggage handlers and other staff staged a sick-out in protest of the vaccine mandates declared by Resident Biden, who told us a few weeks ago that he was “losing patience” with us recalcitrant peasants. Southwest (new tagline: “You are not free to move about the country”) announced on October 4 that its workforce must be vaccinated by December 8 or face dismissal.
It’s not just Southwest that is feeling the heat. According to PJ Media’s Megan Fox, an insider at Southwest said that, “there are 22 airlines, along with truckers and other transportation employees represented in their ranks and more disruptions are to come.”
Most of them have joined an organization called FreedomFlyers.org, a web community set up to connect like-minded individuals. You can see this video on their website.
Perhaps the greatest piece of advice comes from Joshua Yoder, co-founder of the FreedomFlyers website, who was interviewed on Tucker Carlson.
“If there’s a disruption in one part of the system, it has a catastrophic effect among the rest of the system, which is going to affect commerce, it’s going to affect trade, and ultimately it’s going to affect the economy. We have all the control and the control comes from a simple word and that’s ‘no.’ We just don’t need to comply.”
My emphasis. This is what all Americans need to be willing to do. Our ancestors, as perfect or imperfect as they were, fought to secure our rights and protect them from tyrants. We are seeing them slip further and further from us and if we don’t start refusing to comply en masse, we will find ourselves permanently under the heel of the oligarchy that already controls our major institutions, including education, business, politics, law, entertainment and medicine.
In the book of Hebrews, the author writes, “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood” (12:4). In other words, you haven’t suffered martyrdom for the sake of your faith like others have. It’s not as bad or as hard as it could be, so stop complaining and step it up.
In a similar fashion, Winston Churchill once said about fighting for what is right,
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
In my layman’s opinion, we are nearer “a precarious chance of survival” than we are “victory is sure.” For certain we “have not resisted to the point of shedding our blood.”
My prediction is that some of us are going to have to do so if there isn’t some kind of intervention sometime soon. Determine whether or not your freedom and freedom for your children is worth fighting for, then define your line in the sand and prepare to defend it.
My Pastor/husband has been instructing us for several years to be sure of what we believe, to settle it in our own heart, and to be prepared for these days when we increasingly have to choose whom we will serve – God or government. Loved – “This is not a drill — this is the real thing.”
