So I have to say, a commenter posted on my most recent post about having a thread for any genre of music that seems or feels great awakening themed. And I absolutely loved the idea!! I've been posting heavy metal encouragement posts because that's what I listen to, but all you salty anons add your favorite songs that feel uniquely "great awakening"! All I ask is that it stays within that realm of thought, and please be respectful of those who prefer different genres than others. We're not all the same and we all enjoy different things. With that being said, I wanna remind you guys and gals of this. God never says how we should sing praises to His Holy name, just to sing praises! WWG1WGA!
These words spoke to me today and I felt encouraged to share. This is the Friday edition to my heavy metal words of encouragement!
"Paramount"- August Burns Red Song link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w55YCDzZjvA
Are you walking through fire? You have a friend. Are you stuck in a nightmare? My friend, you have a light to make it end. ..... You have hope, you have us. We can put it all back together. You have hope. We have trust in You. Don't bury your ability. Don't give up on your strength. Regret makes you a marionette, Holding the strings, not letting you forget. Do not be weary! Find a path through the night. Do not be weary! Your strength will give you sight. All around are thieves. Oppression their regime. Look past your reflection, In another's direction. You have all you need from your imperfections. You're the silent minority. The compliant authority. Anyone can rip others apart. So reassemble the broken parts. ...... Face tomorrow, face tomorrow. Settle your yesterdays. Your future, your future, Is too bright to burn out. Forget the things they want you to believe. Forget the things they want you to become. On your back are the injured. They'll never determine your outcome. Walking through fire. You have a friend. Stuck in a nightmare. A light to make it end. You're the Hero who can show us, Our tragedy is not tragic We are not alone, You are by our side. Remind us how to fly.
It's come to my attention of late, and especially through connection of this song, that us anons were created by God Himself for this exact moment in time. To show the normies and others that they shouldn't believe the lies that the masters of deceit have told us. To show them that we shouldn't become what they want us to become; godless slaves for their abominable system. There are going to be confused masses, people who don't understand what's happening. They'll be walking through fire like the rest of us, but we know who's in our corner. The injured will be carried on our backs through the storm as the strength of God holds us steady as a rock, weathered but not fallen. It is paramount that we push onward for those who cannot press on. Our "tragic" sacrifice is not tragic at all, but the love of the King flowing through us to others as we guide and protect them moving forward. "Do not be weary!" Don't give up on your ability or your strength! Christ is the Hero that will show us the way! And He will teach us how to fly once more.
A lot of things get lost in the shuffle in our day to day lives, especially with all the habbenings going on. So I wanted to post this friendly reminder to everyone through the lyrics of one of my absolute favorite bands.
"You never said that this would be easy. So go on live. This is the best part of the message, and it only took one. We live for what He's worth, and that's more than you'll know. He died for what he loved, and what he loved was YOU." - Attack Attack!
As all the craziness goes on around us, we need to remember to keep our true focus on God and remember the 'best part of the message', that we're bought and paid for from death. And what Christ died for is what He loved. You, me, everyone. It's never easy on the path God sets before us but with Him all things are possible. How many times has Q said 'God wins', or 'pray', or 'its going to be biblical'? The great awakening is about so much more than awakening to the evil that has taken hold of the earthly powers. I think it's also the great awakening that God is real, and His love for us is eternal. "Father, the sleeper has awakened." I hope this post uplifts and gives hope to all of you anons that I've come to call frens. Much love and God wins! WWG1WGA!
