They had no idea how much it would cost them. When they began to follow Jesus they actually thought they would physically detain the Romans and Jesus would be crowned king physically in their day. They did not understand when they began that some would be stoned or hung upside down on a cross.
But at a certain point they had come too far. There was no going back.
The funny thing about the anon journey is that its taken so many unexpected turns. I don't think any of us foresaw the precipice of 2021 but that when we look back that has been part of the humbling experience. The journey God takes us on does something within us. If you told a young me what God would put me through when I began to follow would have I still done it? God sometimes has to ease us into our cross. He gives us bread crumbs and we follow inch by inch until we learn to not just carry our cross but embrace it. Surrendered our will to God because He's won us over. And then you truly understand that there's no going back because the old you is dead and buried and there is no where to go back. And that was part of the plan all along. God transforming His people.
This is a GREAT post thank you.
So true, there is no going back.
Neither is a going back to the old life everyone lived, to the "old normal". Even after the plandemic is forgotten, we, Humanity have learned sooo much... And our journey has only just begun...
Omg....absolutely this... such truth so simply stated🙏🙏👍 our God is on the throne, leading us every step of the way. Thank you Jesus🙏🙏💕
I’ll be taking up the Cross in Chicago this week. Have lived in the city for 7 years and now suddenly I need a medical treatment in order to operate normally?
Scrub off Lightfoot. Look out for me at major intersections throughout the city calling this BS out. No more fear, Amen!
Good for you, take care!
Ill like to admit my body,brain and lifestory as evidence in a peer review that God 100% exist and are directly engaging in "species engineering on a planetary scale"
Some of our scriptures say we shall all be changed, talk about an understatement more like a rebirth. But here is the difficult part in order to become reborn you have to kill the old you. This is a very hard task and quite a journey.
Absolutely right! I tell people getting saved / born again is becoming the REAL you.
The end will surely be worth it.
AMEN.
Beautifully stated. Yes. I can no longer go back. Went out with a group of other couples I Bew Years Eve and had a hard time just talking trivia there. I spoke up against the Vax and masks. Hopefully I enlightened a few of them. One couple walked into and out of the restaurant by themselves with their masks on but took them off when they sat at the table with us. They may be too far gone. I am light years beyond the Normies.
On an interesting note my brother in law called and told me he remembers me talking about Epstein Island way before it was in the news. He now knows I am not a kook. He wanted more info on what I think may happen.
Sounds like you are making progress, keep telling 'em. But far more importantly - pray.
Amen!
I love the cut of this Anon’s jib. Wordsmything rules!!
WOW! Just, wow! You sure said a mouthful u/undine53!
A beautiful analogy and post! I believe you are spot on! Profound.
Can't take credit for this, only re-posted it as it is so moving. When you are saved, healed, transformed and come to know true love and perfect peace - nothing else matters but walking with Jesus and thanking God for His precious gift.
AMEN fren! 🙏
Amen.
Amen
I can't imagine starting this journey a few years back with the knowledge that Trump would "LOSE" the election in 2020, a faux president regime would be installed in 2021, we would all be banned from Twitter and Facebook and lose all freedom of speech in the public square, patriots would rally on Jan 6th and then end up in DC prison solitary confinement and torture for a year without trial for the crime of selfies in the Capitol, world's leading doctors and vaccinologists would warn against the COVID vax and get deplatformed everywhere, our government would march toward totalitarian rule and the masses would succumb to psychosis, and thus we would be thrown into a world of chaos and storm the likes of which we could never have dreamed possible. But here we are. We survived. It was necessary. The best is yet to come.
