It's not Q related but I'm just going through some rough times right now with the lockdowns and restrictions in my area. They are really hurting my ability to support my family and stay in business. I'm able to stay strong most of the time but was really feeling the doom this morning.
I was asking God for a sign if i should just give up or stay in business and less than 5 minutes later I saw your post.
I always thought it was "the meek shall inherit the earth" and when I thought meek, I thought like a mouse or old lady or something. Your translation shed new light on Mathew 5:5 for me and gave it personal meaning.
I come from a poor family and started my business with all the money I had. I have put everything into it and if I go under Ill lose everything.
Your post made me realize I need to stay strong, stay determined, be in control of my emotions and have patience. I don't really have any other options at this point but it gives me hope. To me, that was a message from God and I thank you again for posting that, it was what I needed to see.
Thank you for posting this. I needed to see this today, it was an answer to prayer.
I booked the day off. I'm too stoked to focus on work and I'm not even an American. God bless the USA!
I'm sorry to hear that you are stuck there. I cant imagine how that must feel but I fear I will know soon enough if things don't change. That said, I think things will change and you will be free again soon. Below is a link to a video that might put your mind at ease a bit if you haven't already seen it. The deep state is world wide and once one domino falls, they all will including the evil in our country:
What is happening in Ontario and Quebec is absolutely disgusting, my heart goes out to those stuck there. Covid camps definitely are a scary thought, hopefully something happens before they are used. I honestly think once Jan 20 rolls around and the globalist's lies are exposed these restrictions will end over night. It will wake up everyone.
Its pretty good, I would have expected more tbh. Many Albertan's are very suspicious of the government. The laurentian elite, Canada's deep state head honchos, have been screwing us since Alberta joined confederation, and more so in the last few decades, so the conspiracy is a bit more obvious here. I'm still surrounded by sleeping sheep too though, its especially concerning because they are "conservatives". I'm sure something will happen soon... I just hope that our deep state gets taken down soon after (or simultaneously) with the American one!
I'm in Alberta and I'd say about 20% of the people I interact with personally and through business are on board with Q, not sure if any are on this board though
I am getting bad lag here in Canada
I definitely agree there is a different frame of thought in old school Christianity vs modern Christianity and there are a lot of deviations in modern interpretations of scripture.
I didn't grow up in a Christian home and my only knowledge of Christianity was what I saw on TV and how people I knew were Christians acted. I was very opposed to God, or what I thought at the time was God, because of this. I was actively against and full of hatred towards Christians and Christianity.
God revealed himself to me through a series of events and visions at a Crossroads in my life. The most profound was when I was studying Aleister Crowley with some friends and someone they referred to as a guru. We were getting ready to head to a huge occult convention later that day.
All of a sudden all I could see was fire, like I was inside of a huge bonfire, completely surrounded by an inferno. I tried to open and close my eyes but it made no difference, it was all I could see. In addition to this, all I could hear was this intense rumble, like what it sounds like when you are standing beside a freight train going by. There was also a feeling of impending doom that was indescribably brutal.
Before this, I thought the spiritual realm was kind of a joke and didn't really believe in it. To me, the occult was just a cool thing to be into and went well with my lifestyle. A few hours after this I accepted Christ into my heart at the suggestion of someone I trusted. They later turned out to be someone who used Christianity to manipulate me.
Since I didn't know anything about Christianity, have any Christian friends or know of any church I could learn about God at, I got a bunch of books at a thrift store. These were all really sketchy, borderline cult books and this really led me astray towards legalism. I started going to church and ultimately this led me further astray, eventually leading me to abandon my faith. I was a Christian for about 10 years at this point. Modern interpretations definitely led me astray.
After leaving my faith I didn't think much about God other than that if he was real, he wasn't what I had learned at these churches or in the books I read. I recently prayed again for the first time in almost 8 years, largely because of this board.
I think what you posted makes a lot of sense. It really does seem like this life is a test (hellish) at times. My hardships have made me a stronger person and I can see how it would be a path to salvation and immortality. If I didn't go through the struggles I have, I would be a very different person, someone who I would currently be ashamed of.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me and what you posted definitely resonates with me. I think you probably felt called to make your original post. I don't post much here as I don't really have much of value to add to the conversation but I just wanted to confirm to you that it was very helpful, at least to me.
