Survival of End Times means being 3 in 1.
Most people view life as a struggle. The human being is constantly being tested on a day-to-day basis with challenges. Some are practically benign–mapping out a travel plan, for example. And other problems are the “think on your feet” type of thought which requires rapid choice-making. These latter tests are those which come to those who will survive.
In the United States and among the wealthier circles throughout the world, the survival instinct has been nullified–the minds of these people have been lulled to sleep with silly mindless distractions to the point of being constant. These are many: alcohol, getting high, TV, electronic media/technology, etc… This is no joke–recall the opium epidemic in China, purposely allowed by the British. Why? With the population literally asleep, under the effects of opium, the British were able to take control of key ports, control the trade, and make the money.Opium Users in Dutch Java, 1870; Photo Credit: Tropenmuseum of the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Wikipedia CC Lic
“In the 18th century, despite ardent protest from the Qing government, British traders began importing opium from India. Because of its strong mass appeal and addictive nature, opium was an effective solution to the trade problem. An instant consumer market for the drug was secured by the addiction of thousands of Chinese, and the flow of silver was reversed. Recognizing the growing number of addicts, the Yongzheng Emperor prohibited the sale and smoking of opium in 1729, and only allowed a small amount of opium imports for medicinal purposes.”(1) Later, Opium Wars broke out, and in the end, China was bullied by the British. Russia was pleased with the outcome, and they took the key port of Vladivostok for themselves. (1860-1861) History repeats itself, always.
Improper use of drugs (getting high), the over-indulgence of alcohol (getting drunk), television, electronic technology, etc…these are all means of avoiding reality. In the West, they keep us in the dark. In the Third World, they help us to forget. For everyone, they are a means to enslave you because you are without your wits and under the influence of a kind of mind control.
An example of two groups which are usually not susceptible–Senior Citizens: they have lived through hard times and are already aware of coming changes; and the poor who are not addicted to substances: these folks grew up on the streets, they read the signs of danger and are ready to protect themselves. Their motto: “NEVER BE A VICTIM.”
A Story:
There is a child who is quite young. He runs into the street where cars are speeding by. His mother runs to him–grabs the boy by his collar and hauls him to safety. Scared, the boy cries. Scared for her son, the mother cries too. Her son just barely avoided a collision. The boy wasn’t really to blame–he is ignorant, but now he knows the danger. His mother wasn’t perfect, and she had lost sight of her son for only a moment. But what saved the boy, was his mother’s instinct. She knew that something was amiss and had gone looking for her son. If she had been drunk, high, or watching TV, the mother wouldn’t have noticed that her son was in peril.
Americans, while you sleep, your country is being taken from you. You must wake yourselves up. Many of you already know what’s coming, but you live in fear and denial. Turn your fear into strength.
To survive, you must be 3 in 1. This means using your spiritual, mental, and physical abilities together, cohesively. God wishes for us to live. He provides the means, but we must use what He gives us:
Spiritual: Our instincts in part grow out of intuition, a scary dream or premonition, a feeling that something isn’t right. You are often told that this “stuff” is false or not real. Do not accept that answer. These are spiritual attributes that all people can use and develop (prayer and meditation). Believe what you sense. Open your mind. (Common Sense: even animals have instincts given to them by God.) This is Divine guidance. Because you have free will, you must choose to use it. USE IT!
Mental: Take this Divine guidance and consider it as pertinent, even life-saving information. Use it to make a plan. In this way, one uses the intelligence and common sense that God gives us.
Physical: Take the plan and place it in action. The action is key because this is where survival kicks in. This is also where faith takes place. We trust God with our bodies at this point.
And this is what will save the body from physical death: Spiritual, Mental, Physical–being 3 in 1. It is important to acknowledge that the physical is not accomplished without using the Spiritual and the Mental capabilities as well. In this way, you will feel in control of your own life, be able to help others, and still have the secure backing of God. Think back through history, there were always some who escaped and some which died. Be a survivor. NOW is the time to open your eyes. The Russians are taking the oil and gas, the Chinese are buying our banks. Next will be the loss of food and people.
At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union raised a barrier known as the Berlin Wall, dividing Berliners. The United States accepted it as fact and did nothing. (1961) The walls of concrete had a death strip which held anti-vehicle trenches, fakir beds, and guard towers.
“The Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc officially claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the “will of the people” in building a Socialist State in East Germany. However, in practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.” (2)
3.5 million Berliners saw captivity coming and escaped to the West just prior to the Berlin Wall’s construction under Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected. After the wall went up, between 1961 and 1989, 5,000 individuals attempted escape—between 100 and 200 died doing so. And tunnels have been burrowed under every concrete wall in existence. (3)
God created us each with a special purpose in mind. He created you to think for yourself, using what He gives you. USE IT!
To those who already know, see and believe: prepare yourselves. You will not be miraculously pulled out. There is only one way out. All will go through this time, even you. (Your soul will be tested.) The choice though is yours–Will you live or will you die? To live: Follow God’s plan for you.
God has provided a Way Out for those who would go. History has shown that believers have always either been driven out or they have gone into hiding during times of persecution. Both Jews and the Christians of the Old World know this. (Think Masada. Think the caves under the churches in the Holy Land.) America–the remnant is within you.
God’s law is love. This includes loving yourself. Love yourself and see yourself as valuable, worthy of love, and worthy of being saved. Then, love others as you love yourselves. He or she who knocks needs help. Love him or her as you would yourself.
All people are essentially the same, whether Russian, Chinese, American, Egyptian, Jewish, etc…We are souls covered with flesh, blood and bone, created in the image of God. Each country is trying to survive now. Recognize this. War is not the answer. Peace is.
There is only God. On the Last Day of End Times it is His Name Only which will be lifted up.
