Safe Places

Where shall we go...?

  In not many days from now, we will have an election. Almost every voice, Christian or otherwise, is speculating about what will happen. Even if everything goes the right way, there will be a spiritual effect that will play out in major ways. Darkness does not like to lose. So when you read that the devil was cast down in a great rage in the Bible, you can hopefully understand the current condition of the world.

  For many people, they feel uneasy when they ponder the world around them and the possibilities of what could happen. Will this or that take place? Is it possible that we are living in this or that biblical period of the Book of Revelation?

  Such stirring of the heart is not a bad thing, in fact, I would consider it a bad thing if a believer's heart was not troubled at this point. We all want safety, security, and freedom to follow our particular brand of Christian faith without fear or oppression. This is also not new.

  We have hundreds and hundreds of years of our ancestors in Europe and many other places, all displaced from homes, villages, cities, and farms. When talking about being displaced, many point to the Jewish people as examples, but few realize that Christians share the same displacement.

  In the last 100 years, various groups have worked to try and paint a picture that the Protestant faith and the Catholic faith are the same thing. This is a smoke screen designed for the uneducated that historical facts do not agree with. In a study done in 2006 by David A. Plaisted, he estimated in his 84-page report that there were at least 50 million protestants killed by Catholic rule in Europe and that the number could be double. That number is greater than Stalin and Hitler combined and is only second in history under China's communist takeover in 1949.

  So, if we follow the Lord Jesus's direction to judge the fruit of the tree, what do you think the Body should do? Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that one day, you will wake up to find your Catholic neighbors burning down your house. Chances are they know just as much of this history as you do. Darkness works best when it can keep both sides ignorant and fighting each other.

  But, at this moment, everyone is feeling a change in the wind. Something is on the horizon, and it's getting closer. With dark changes in the political world, many have sold their homes and moved to new places in the United States. At the core are issues of political and religious freedoms, just like in our past. Here in Idaho, these people are quietly referred to as “Blue State refugees.” But they are not the only ones. In the last few years, I have personally talked with people from places in Europe who have relocated to America because of how bad it has become. The last one was a German woman a little younger than myself in a grocery store, struggling with her new English words just trying to buy green onions. New land, new language.

  So, are you looking to buy an RV? Or sell your home, but you're not sure where you're going? Well, you're not alone, in fact, I would guess you might even be in the silent majority if people freely spoke up. The Holy Spirit is stirring your soul; don’t let the dust settle on your feet. Yes, some of us are waiting for the Lord to open a door, we are.

But there are, and I am serious about this… some of you in the deeper parts of the blue states might just be out of time. It would be far better to sell your home at a loss and have something than to have only the clothes on your back in the days ahead.

  Some of you are in red states, but the Lord needs you in another place for reasons you will not know until you arrive. Look at these possible man-made disasters in red states like North Carolina, Florida, and more. What if he is moving you out before something like that happens? Or what if he has you arrive right after such an event to provide help?

  Remember, Jesus is the Lord of Armies, and he is our refuge. He can direct his people in and out of bad places for various reasons. Are you the type of person who runs to or away from disasters? Because of all of this, your “safe place” might just be on ground zero, helping. Or it might even be as simple as growing food to feed the many hungry that will be coming. What do I mean by that?

  Have you noticed the price of food? I am sure you have. How much longer do you think our culture can keep existing like that? The rubber band is about to break and hungry people can do nasty things.

  We NEED backyard farmers, this is how the nation will live. You can not feed them all, but you can at least feed some. We may only have one season (growing season) left before the snap. But even if, like I said everything goes our way. The forces of hell on earth are still going to unleash waves of pain and torment on the people. It is biblical? If you need more on this topic I would suggest the books of Daniel, Revelation, and Zechariah as starters.

There is also this older post I did on the same subject called, “The Underground.” Click on the picture below to read it.

So why am I saying all this if Trump returns? Two reasons, the first one is if you think we are in the end times. Then you must realize that every good thing coming will be temporary, evil will return at some point.

The second reason is connected to an understanding of scripture and the spiritual world. Darkness does not let go of anything it holds easily. It will fight, scream, and kick, and in the case of nations and people groups controlled by darkness. Well, anything is possible, so let’s not take civil war off the table of possibilities just yet. So, if the Holy Spirit is directing you toward living in an RV, well, then mobility away from changing battle lines is a good thing. But that scenario becomes more viable if the nut-job governors in Blue states go to the extreme with their “useful idiots.”

There are plenty of other possibilities, and who knows, we may get to see shadows of all of them in the years ahead.

Life under the Illegal Presidency has woken up a lot of people. Just because the wind is shifting at this moment is not a good reason to hit the snooze button and go back to sleep. The armies of Darkness are still marching.

  We're hoping our door will open soon, how about you?
