What Now?

30 July 2023

A calm has come over me in the past few days. There's plenty going on around me; I have at least one major real-world project consuming a lot of me right now. However, that sense of impending doom for the rest of the world has gone quiet.

What that tells me is that there is no longer any chance to prepare. It's not that nothing is going to happen after all, but the major elements are in place. All we can do now is the small stuff, the details and implications of whatever we have already committed to do.

Just a reminder: The social, economic and political disasters are not something that will come all at once. This is a huge system, and significant moves are ponderously slow. It's not as if the oppressors are all that intelligent; this is not 3D chess. They are just deeply committed to destroying life for us. There are major elements we've all discussed before, and no one effort is going to break the whole system by itself.

Nor is it a question of efficiency. The people with their hands on the controls are looking to maximize suffering. It's not a cold lack of concern for us; they bear a livid hatred for us. Their food is watching us cower, writhing in anguish, for as long as possible. The spirits that empower them are the real source of that hunger.

And there is nothing we can do to stop this process. It was not ordained by humans; the mortals involved are simply the tools the spirits use. The only thing we have the power to do is not fulfill their lusts. Don't cower. It's not that you can fight this wider destiny, but that you don't have to let it devour your soul.

All the things to which we are committed in Christ are still available, still possible, still necessary. For those who cling to the Covenant, the miracles are about to start flaring up in glory. Don't buy the lies.

What's next? Let me recommend to you the quiet resolve of faith. Practice the peaceful opportunism of our God's great provision. Most of what you need, you already have. The rest will be delivered just in time from Heaven. When you are prepared to die, life is full of sweet surprises.

I've been blessed with small miracles recently, more than usual. At the same time, my petty frustrations were also higher than usual. That was the signal that the days of preparation are over. My confidence in the Lord has soared. I want you to have some of that, so I'm encouraging you to talk to me about the things you are facing personally. More to the point, this is a good time for you to ask questions about all the stuff I've written recently. Are there any puzzle pieces I can help you find?

I really want you to have the same confidence and peace I have.
