I agree, it won’t be easy. But the point I am coming from is that the 1rst coming of Jesus was also OT prophecy, and everyone still got it wrong of how it actually happened. They expected a warrior, a champion, and some dug their heels in and refused to let go of their own understanding and missed what was right in front of them. There are major truths in revelation that yes, we can’t get away from. Enduring to the end is one of them. I think how it actually plays out is something the church has interpreted, I don’t want to say entirely wrong, but not complete. So that is what I meant by info overload, not the book itself but all the various interpretations and debates of what is right and wrong.
I think if we get too planted in how we think things will go, we can miss something right in front of us. Have our foundation but remember to look up too. Does that make sense? God and His infinite wisdom lol.

Also, I hope you’ve well CIAMM! Things have been pretty crazy here. The Lord has certainly been pushing us out of our comfort zone and growing us! It’s been wild haha.

I see it in a very similar way :) It got to point where it was information overload and I asked the Lord what is the truth in all this. And what I got was something different than expected. We keep falling into these generational curses and that can change if we are willing to humble our hearts and and lean on the Lord rather than our own understanding. I’m still seeking and things are unfolding day by day. It’s been a wild ride haha.

That is interesting. Something I will need to think on a bit. But your explanation makes more sense than Eve having sex with satan and then that is how Cain can about. Thank you for sharing.

If we take it to mean seduced than I would argue it is a spiritual seduction rather than a physical one. Satan got Eve to question the Word of God. At first she got God’s command correct. She told satan she was not supposed to eat from the tree. So satan changed tactics. He then told her that it’s not that you’ll die but become like God. He got Eve to question God’s intention; question if He was really good. Like God was trying to be sneaky and that’s why He really didn’t want them to eat from it. Satan got her to “eat” a new theology, “seduced” her into a new way of thinking. We see that time and time again in the OT where Israel turns their back to God, question His commands and look to other gods. I think God even calls it adultery in Isaiah or Ezekiel (I would have to find the Scripture). So in a way Eve did get “seduced” by satan but I don’t think it was a physically sexual way how the first comment states.

Well, not every Jew rejects Jesus. We have messianic synagogues by us that love and worship Jesus. They know He is the Messiah and are awaiting His return. I’ve been to one of their services that had a bat mitzvah. It was beautiful.

yepp. It's neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). The books that explain it, The Structure of MAGIC, literally have a wizard on the cover. But I'm sure that is just another coincidence lol.

Prayer has moved mountains for me in my personal experiences. Things that looked grim miraculously fell into place perfectly and at the most perfect timing. That’s our Lord, Jesus for you! Keep it up!

Find a local organization that helps the victims in your area. There is one I found called Restoration Now that is ran through the Salvation Army in my area (I know, I know). But they did give good advice on what you can do to help. From their website:

What Can You Do to Help?

There are many opportunities to help anti-trafficking efforts:

  1. Raise awareness about human trafficking and our Fight for Freedom Campaign on your social media platforms
  2. Recognize red flags and REPORT to the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1(888)373-7888
  3. Host a fundraiser
  4. Write a letter to a survivor in our program to encourage them on their journey
  5. Collect toiletries/gifts to donate to one of our program’s survivors
  6. Pray for healing of the many traumas endured by these brave individuals
  7. Intern or volunteer with a local organization fighting human trafficking

I guess my next question would be, how do you make sure a certain organization is legit? My area is filled with corrupt politicians, AGs, judges, police force, even social services, ect., and their website says they work closely with those people. I saw some comments in here already that listed some reliable organizations, but they are across the country. It might be cool to get a list together so we have easier access to different organizations across various states if you feel called to plan fundraisers/clothing drives/ect.
