Most of the world is suffering on more extreme levels than we are and rightfully so.
It's fitting that we feel as though the tide is turning and that help is on the way. That's exactly how it would be if sudden destruction was on the horizon. The enemy would do everything possible to build a state of complacency with the inhabitants of Mystery Babylon. After all Myster Babylon will be destroyed in one hour. How else could it happen unless the inhabitants had been effectively put under a spell of lies and confusion (as we currently are)?
How could most be deceived as to not see the signs before their ultimate destruction? Could it be a medium we call MSM propagandizing it's populace? Could it be false hope projected on the unsuspecting masses who aren't under the MSM delusion?
After all, we are told that the delusion would be so strong that if it were possible even the very elect would be deceived.
All of the signs are here for those with God given discernment. Half of this country or more is oblivious to the times we are in. Many who claim to be awake are hung up on man made solutions that they believe will deliver them from their enemies.
Few and I mean very few don't subscribe to either camp. The question is, are you truly seeking His wisdom and understanding? Can you confidently say that you are apart of His very elect? Or are you deceiving yourself in believing that the cause you are following is the true and righteous path that God has set you on? These are some of the few things we all must ask ourselves, if we in fact want to be called by His name.
I'm always asking myself these uncomfortable questions so as to not deceive myself. Are you?
I had this real nice, long message typed out. Even felt [holy] spirit inspired.
Then I realized this is too exhausting. To try to show someone spiritual things. Particularly when they are carnal in their thinking. So I deleted and I'll leave you with this.
I stand by my comment and my post. I only deleted my last comment because I misspoke about your response in another post. Which is my mistake and I apologize for that.
Strong's has a good definition and meaning of pharmakeia. I'm sure you have more to add to it. I get a sense you have a lot to add to a lot.
Sometimes it's best to keep it simple.
Spirituality is always based from cognition. The blessing of being born spiritual is from conation. It is never emotionally based. That is an outcome from the experience. And I agree with you that you did indeed "misspoke". You as a putative Christian, one should never make unfounded declarations less it be interpreted as emotional over-reaction and bearing false witness.
Strong's is okay for neophytes, but it tends to mislead. The understanding of the bible is never keep[ing] it simple. There's more to understand than we know.
