SETTING THE STAGE

SETTING THE STAGE
Posted By: Ann Mack on November 23, 2020


Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers). But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night. ~Psalm 1:1-2 AMP

In war, like on a battlefield similar to a football field, there are two opposing sides and each side has an agenda regardless of the players involved! If someone gets hurt, moves on, is traded and is voted in or voted out, the desired outcome is still the same depending upon the driving force. Often times, the focus is always on the players but very little consideration is given to the end game to include the various layers or levels of stakeholders [the big corporations, the secret societies of the rich (wealthy and the famous), house of representatives and the senate] setting the stage from the top tier (the head of the food chain in politics) while jockeying for position and undercutting each other to reel us in as bait. And, unfortunately, we fall for it …. hook, line and sinker!

If you were to evaluate the components or parts of a fraction, you would note three parts: the top number called the numerator, the bottom number called the denominator and the line which divides the two is called the vinculum. To add or to subtract two fractions, you have to have a common denominator. Choosing the side of light, the common denominator for me is God and that means pursuing HIS AGENDA regardless of the players on either side because my focus has to be HIM! So as things change, no matter the news that's presented or shared with me, l MUST not allow fear to take hold or manipulation to taint me in driving my decisions or actions outside of the WILL AND WORD OF GOD for my life. Why? It's simple! Because of who God is in my life, who I aspire to be in HIM and the fact that HE is always upfront with us about HIS EXPECTATIONS: No fear, obedience to HIS WORD, faithfulness, integrity, loyalty and adaptation to the nine fruit of the SPIRIT! HE does not expect us to adapt to the ways of the world! HIS TEACHING is clear! Although in the world, not of the world. Separate and apart. Moving, living and conducting ourselves with a made-up Jesus mentality. Oh, and by the way, God never jockeys for position because HE is already in the HEAD position and no one can take HIS PLACE; however, others never seem to stop trying. But, if you ABIDE in HIM through PERFECT alignment, HE will ABIDE in you and no good thing will HE withhold from you!

We are in the middle of a war (SPIRITUAL WARFARE) and have been for quite some time as the stakes get higher! WORLD LEADERS have been and are still fighting with one another all across the globe from within and outside of their perspective CORNERS! I AM tired of the in-fighting as they continue to spread their seeds of discord throughout and all about! They should be ATTEMPTING to work together to CULTIVATE peaceful and healthy environments for ALL! So, what is the end game? CONTROL and kingship over the masses while using a method of divide and conquer to hide an attempt to protect selfish interests at all cost! You can't sue a virus, but you can put your total TRUST in the LORD to get you through! However, you MUST be willing to BELIEVE, trust the LORD FULLY with your whole heart and follow HIM as HE follows God in letting go of your own ambition to accomplish KINGDOM business!

At 5 pm on Sunday (11/15/20), just days away from Thanksgiving, the most popular day out of the year when many families get together to break bread, a mandatory in public mask-wearing enforcement has been put into action. In addition, an imposed limitation of the number of people allowed at a social gathering - even if it is within your own home - is also noted to be enforced. So, this is not the time to be stubborn or to push boundaries in challenging the order of the day, but an absolute time to use wisdom and good judgment in understanding the end game. More than ever, as mentioned many times before, this is a time to engage in constant prayer (without ceasing) and a season to draw near (or closer) to the LORD. Govern yourselves accordingly to give no ammunition to the opposition to use against you or us as a whole! We are ALL in this together and we are better together; not divided and on opposite ends.

Stop allowing yourselves to be pitted one against another to push someone else's agenda of hate and division! Stop attacking Asians and redirecting your anger or rage against others concerning your fear and anxiety about the pandemic based on what has been drilled into your memory cortex! That type of behavior makes you no better than the monster of influence [and the father of darkness] that initiated the separation of innocent children from their parents while their parents were exiled [excommunicated outside of U.S.] on the basis of hate.



What about the initiation of the numerous and countless historical decades of crimes of hate, lynchings, rapes, racial profiling and stereotypical killings by the police? Do you not see the connection! Hate the system of unfairness and corruption to include the sexual assault [of both men and women] within the military, but don't become it by allowing it to use you! Get on your knees in prayer, look in the mirror, reflect and do some soul searching!

Don't lose sight of the real prize while the politics and staging play out to reveal the intended underlying AGENDA: division (divide and conquer), exploitation on the basis of racial and social injustice (classism), genocide (racial cleansing), global vaccination and chip implant; all under the disguise of CONTROL. In your excitement of gathering with family, be mindful of what you share and post on social media if you don't want an unexpected knock at your door for violating CDC guidelines. Your thinking has to be above - from on HIGH! Not below! Stop taking a page from the enemy's playbook in how you react and respond to situations. Now is not the time to get weak at the knees or in your gut. You have been given the heart of a LION! So, what are you afraid of? Evil of any kind, Corona or poison is no match for God!

Because you have made the Lord, [who is] my refuge, Even the Most-High, your dwelling place, No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. ~ Psalm 91:9-11 AMP

If you truly BELIEVE that there is a DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT (GOD) that dwells over and within us, then why do you allow yourselves to get all bent out of shape and worried about the end game of darkness?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

** How much does culture and history play into ungodly decisions, (antiquated) practices and actions?

** Why is the CULTURE OF DARKNESS within America – the world – not being taken seriously? Why is it not being reviewed on a larger scale at every level to acknowledge a need for change and the revamping of practices beyond VISIBILITY be put on the table?

** What is the association in the rise of COVID cases to the installation of new 5G towers in those areas where the spikes have occurred? What is the connection to the locations in relation to the increase in casualties?

** What if Donald J. Trump's ignorance and arrogance was anticipated by those driving the hidden agenda and used his own arrogance against him to usher us in the direction of where we have evolved today? In other words, they studied his behavioral patterns to manipulate situations in favor of the end game which is why they opted to use the electoral college process to put him in office in 2016. [They put laws and regulations in place all the time only to break or violate those same laws and regulations whenever it suits them and dare you to confront them about it! I see it every day within the area of business and Human Resources! So, why not in the area of life and politics to aid in the accomplishment of the end game!]

** Have you taken the time to carefully review and ask yourself what is the point of the electoral college voting process? Dictatorship? What is the criteria for deciding when to resurrect it? Who makes the decisions? Is it fair?

REFERENCE:

SOWING SEEDS OF DISCORD: Proverbs 6:16-19

** For there are six things the Lord hates—no, seven: haughtiness, lying, murdering, plotting evil, eagerness to do wrong, a false witness, sowing discord among brothers. ~ The Living Bible (TLB)

** There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. ~ New International Version (NIV)

1. READ Psalm 91
2. Vinculum, a derivative of the Latin word “vincire (vincere)” meaning to bind, conquer, win and overcome. As part of a fraction, the vinculum is a line denoting the separation of two parts [a top, a bottom, two sides, two by two (2/2) or side by side], but it serves the PURPOSE of unifying the two parts in bringing them together - to tie them in and create a BOND!
3. Step outside of yourself to take a step back and view the dichotomy of the world to include all of the tricks to see it through a different lens; the eyes of God!
