Sitting in silence gives us opportunity to hear Holy Spirit more clearly, to focus on Him and not the roaring voices of hype and fear or the clanging noise and nonsense of the world. Sitting in silence I have listened and I am learning. Learning is a process, daily we have opportunity to learn and depending upon on what we listen to, that is what we learn. If we listen to news we become informed yet troubled. Let not your heart be troubled. John 14:1 If we listen to praise music we become more peaceful and calm, if we read His word our hope becomes faith and we can stand strong and unshakable.

I have waited to post, waited and prayed, I have listened and hopefully I have learned. Each of us must hear His still small voice for ourselves. Each of us must read and study to show ourselves approved of God, a workman that need not to be ashamed – that we may rightly divide the Word of God. (2Timothy 2:15) Jehovah Elohim desires relationship, fellowship with His children. He is our Father, our Abba and longs to be a part of our lives...but often we are too busy doing to be still and know that He alone is God, that He alone has all the answers and He alone remains in control of this world and all that is within. We must become a part of what He is doing, not be busily making our own plans.  

Since before the election, beginning in early March, Holy Spirit has been speaking: “Days will be so very dark. Reject the voices of evil, reject all that does not line up with My Word.” Repeatedly He spoke, “Darkness will intensify in November.” (this word was given on Sept. 12, 2020) On Sept. 23 He spoke; “Now is the time, now is the hour for men to awaken to the dangers lurking in the shadows, behind locked doors, in plain sight, viewed by those with discernment and godly wisdom. Do not be fooled, awaken to the danger.” His warnings continued. October 24, 2020; “Keep on the narrow road. Keep alert, watchful. Danger approaches but keep your eyes always on Me. Nothing is outside My view. Nothing takes Me by surprise, nothing will happen that I will not use for My glory and the good of My people.” On Nov. 7, 2020 I was instructed to put the blog to rest. Holy Spirit said “stand in faith, pray against vain imaginations. Powers of darkness must flee as you take your position standing in faith believing for miracles. Put the blog to rest. When it is time you will know, the time is not now. Wait on Me.”

Holy Spirit has given me much more since that time. After watching a short clip of the two minutes of silence after the swearing in and before Joe Biden gave his acceptance speech. I ask the reason for the silence. Holy Spirit spoke clearly; “The two minutes of silence was to give each one an opportunity to repent, to acknowledge their sin before Me. I waited but none spoke. Their decision was made, their fate sealed. None will be able to say they did not know, for all knew that day, January 20, 2021 as I spoke to each heart.” As Holy Spirit directs I will share as I am led. Know this; God is in control. Fear not, allow Him to be your peace. “I am aware of all that is going on. Be not dismayed, continue to stand in faith. Praise Me and see My glory and might spread across this nation. Righteousness will prevail, satan is defeated. Stand strong and be amazed.”

 Hitler seemed to win the first few rounds by his shrewd timing and deceptive propaganda aimed at the needs and wants of the masses. "Change" he cried - "Change!"

Faithful pastors were dismissed, arrested, imprisoned in harsh concentration camps. Into the empty pulpits stepped "German Christian" ministers -- handpicked puppets of the state, who preached Nazi ideology that replaced Biblical truth with utopian doctrines cloaked in Scriptural promises.

The people who called themselves Christians fit into three categories:

1. those who would rather face death than deny their Lord;
2. those who delighted in the new positive gospel of Nazi Germany; and
3. the complacent masses who couldn't tell the difference between the two.

From the start, one of the main leaders of a secret Christian resistance movement was the esteemed Pastor Martin Niemoller. His God-given wisdom and gentle strength spread hope and courage to the troubled souls that had counted the cost of resistance and could no longer remain silent or turn back.

In the early years of this intensifying spiritual war, God's soldiers seemed to be losing ground. But under God's sovereign hand, their early "defeats" awakened thousands of complacent Christians to the unthinkable Nazi hatred for God and His ways. This deepening awareness led to an underground fellowship that God used to encourage His faithful people to take their stand in Him, hold fast to His Word, draw strength from His Spirit and, if necessary, be ready to die for His name's sake.

Under Pastor Niemoller's leadership, the movement became known as the Confessional Church. Their beloved pastor was arrested well before World War II began, but his message was multiplied during the dark years of Nazi tyranny through thousands of fellow warriors for Christ.

Today, we do well to remember Pastor Niemoller' sober words ~ "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionist, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me."

...do not allow me to stray from Your commands!

Division and lies, hatred and deception. The government lies in shambles as it tilts at windmills, majors on minors while giving a self-righteous wink and nod to sin. So tell them: 'This is a nation that has not obeyed the LORD their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore.'

Tolerant and accepting, complicit and compromising. The church lies in shambles as it rejects Truth, striving to be all things to all men while giving a self-righteous wink and nod to sin. For the shepherds have become stupid, they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they do not have insight, and all of their flock are scattered. 

Do not be taken in by the size of the congregation, the color of the lights, the smoke the mirrors. Do not allow The Word of God to be compromised by your silence. You trust in lying words that cannot benefit... Do not accept all you hear as gospel, be as the Bereans and balance all things by The Word of God. Darker grow the days; compromise and confusion, godlessness and greed will become commonplace in the church and around the world in days to come. Cast away each of you all worship of God fabricated by carnal appearance and do not defile yourself with idols...I AM the LORD your God. Be alert to the tricks of the evil one. Do not allow the worldly ways of shepherd or sheep to draw you away from God with slick sermons,  melodious music and an easy beliefism that follows the wide road taking all travelers to hell. Do not accept a Christ without a cross.

Do not allow the ways and woes of the world to pull you away from the Glory of God that awaits the children of God.
