Acts 11:19-21
“Those who had been dispersed by the persecution following upon the death of Stephen went through the country as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, but they spoke the word to no one except to Jews. But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, came to Antioch and spoke to the Greeks too and told them the good news of the Lord Jesus. The Lord’s hand was with them; and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.”
In restrained sentences these few words tell of one of the greatest events in history…Christianity is finally launched on its world-wide mission.
Here we have a truly amazing thing. The Church has taken the most epoch-making of all steps; and we do not even know the names of the people who took that step. All we know is that they came from Cyprus and Cyrene. They go down to history as nameless pioneers of Christ. It has always been one of the tragedies of the Church that men have wished to be noticed and named when they did something worthwhile. What the Church has always needed, perhaps more than anything else, is people who never care who gains the credit for it so long as the work gets done. These men may not have written their names in men’s books of history; but they have written them forever in God’s Book of Life.
--William Barclay, “The Acts of the Apostles”
As anons we, too, are taking epoch-making steps to awaken the world. Like these earlier Biblical anons, we too, will go down to history as nameless. But what the world needs now, more than anything else, is people – men and women – who will not care who will gain the credit for it so long as the work gets done.
Our names will never be written in history books, but rest assured, they will be forever written in God’s Book of Life.

I love this, Wulfy! Thanks!
I needed this today, LoneWulf. Been feeling pretty lonely lately. Nobody wants to hear what I believe is happening. The hardest part is friends and family who paste on a smile with that glazed look in their eyes - many here know "the look" - and say something along the lines of, "Let's see what happens."
I know it's a brush-off. But I can't stop. I believe God has given me discernment, and if it came from Him, then I trust it.
God bless you and I empathize 100%.
me, too, fren. Like I'm CARAZY
👍🙏🙂
Hang in there, fren. You're never alone as long as we're here. This is our little pond where we can come together and recharge. I, too, know what it's like to be surrounded by normies that have no idea what is really going on. The more you try to explain it, the more crazy you sound to them. That's ok, though. Like Q says, you can't tell them, you have to show them. But once they are shown, they will remember your words and come to you for further information. Our time hasn't quite come yet. For now, our job is to learn, to dig, and to ferret out the truth in order to be ready for those questions that will surely be asked of us one day soon.
Yes, we support each other here and our family, friends and strangers who don't understand what's really happening but, will some day need us.
Wonderful post u/LoneWulf with a powerful essay by William Barclay that touched me deeply.
I know we are here for a reason.
I believe we are called to be here.
We don't want to be recognized.
We want God's Will to be done, here on Earth as in Heaven.
Thank you, fren. ♥️♥️♥️
Takes too many brain cells to think...even my smarter friends in terms of world events are smarter because they choose better talking heads than the left.....it is not like they ever analyze or research beyond "do I agree or disagree with talking head"
They still dont get that they are controlled opposition and that info is being withheld, Some of the most obvious things to us are like one of those 100 sided Rubiks cubes to them....soooooo damn frustrating at times.....
Amen!! WWG1WGA 🙏🇺🇲🐸
There is no "I" in "The Great Awakening." For those who have eyes to see.
Matthew 6:1-4 KJV
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Doing your alms in secret also has the benefit of protecting the dignity of the recipient of the alms.
Excellent post! Thank you.
Does anyone have the first 3 in more modern english? I have a hard time understanding those
Makes sense. Reminds me of people who donate then announce on facebook how good of a person they are by donating so they get likes and approval. That's the ego. You're giving for the sake of boosting your ego, which is not what it should be about. It should be about love.

YES! WWG1WGA
Gave me goosebumps! Yes, we Anons are doing Gods work! We are the Lord’s army!
Humility crushes pride.
Philippians 2
Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Worship the Creator only, not the Creation.
Wow. What a fantastic read. Praise Jesus 🙌🏻 He is King
Yes love this post! Ty fren… I would gladly spread our knowledge far and wide! WWG1WGA
Amen, Great post. We need more of this and more of Jesus.
Well said! 👏
Excellent, thank you.
🐺 howls.
Absolutely!! This is beautiful, and so true . Thank you for this. I ask God everyday to let me bring a smile to someone-even a libtard. Kindness really does go a long way., and it makes me feel good to show it.
Awesome post fren and well needed. Sometimes we can get so lost in the details of the this and that of what is happening around us that we lose sight of the greater mission and purpose. What we do in secret will be acknowledged openly in heaven. Do not be wearied in well doing anons - heaven is watching. God bless you all.
God bless you and keep you well...I salute you! WWG1WGA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Amen
