Yes we need to be watchful and discern pray and stand together because this year is not going to be a good one I think our hearts going to be tested I wonder if worshipping God saying his name or even just having faith in him is made illegal how many will stand and how many will be willing to give their lives for him?
We are in a year and time of tyranny rights will be taken away laws will be enforced that are against the constitution
The church is going to have to show where they truly stand

The thing is...that’s the fear that people have..but is that the way the year really will go? Last year we were scared with a virus and riots and looting and this year we are scared that our way of life is truly gone and we will be living like the Chinese. I don’t know if those things are really going to happen or not..however, I think instead of letting the fears of the unknown scare us and projecting our fears on the future..I think it would be wise to trust in the Lord whatever may come..knowing that He cares for us.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Let us keep our eyes on our LORD , who is the One who directs our paths , no matter what comes our way Amen...

I can't speak for others but I am not afraid and was never afraid of this virus either I keep telling people pay attention to the signs not to create fear but because we have to become aware of where we are and what is coming this is all part of bible prophecy we were told what was going to happen and plenty studied it debated about it and yet many do not see where we are in it.
In a war what good does it do to know the plans of the enemy army if you don't prepare for it? You are right we have to trust God but he we also have to prepare our hearts more than any time in history we need to draw close to him we need to seek his heart and his presence and remain in constant prayer and communication with him

Lots of people were afraid of the virus and that’s how they convinced everyone to wear masks to try to save their lives.

I have to admit I wasn’t afraid because one morning I woke up..before the craziness started and I felt God give me a measure of peace about it all. And then He showed me how it was all false when I realized all the things couldn’t be true from experiences that I had had. God is good that He does help us and gives us what we need.

Sure...we know certain things because of Bible prophecy are going to happen..yet we don’t often know the details to them. Like the US isn’t in the Bible per say. We do know that all the nations of the world are going to follow after the beast..so we can take it that our lives will eventually change. Is this the year that happens? We don’t know. Those changes mostly happen incrementally..yet we also know that there are birthing pangs..where things get intense for a little while and then it dies down. Perhaps that’s the last year?

I agree that we need to abide in God and draw near to Him...I just disagree that its this year more than any time in history..things will get much worse than this in the years to come.

John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭‬‬
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

No fear, Americans know the election was a criminal fraud and stolen, 80% of Republicans, and 30% of democrats believe this

It's just a setback from getting back on track

Good part about this election is, it was exposed to the world for all to see, all the evil players have taken their sides

Will this pre-meditated evil stand, not a chance

Jesus Christ Is Lord!

What do you mean that this pre-meditated evil won’t stand? What do you think will happen?

There's more going on in this world than the US election that people in other countries have to deal with.
Why drag this in here?

It's not about precedence. There are other things people are dealing with in this world. Do I have to give examples to prove it? Are some people so self absorbed that they think there's nothing else happening?
You'll find some people have such hang ups on issues that they'll find any reason to drag their issues into almost any thread they visit.

The vast majority of America is opposed to what's going on presently

President Trump has seen the greatest support of any President in history

In the past year, the democratic party has "Lost" 20%+ of its support and vote

The recent election was a historical "Red Wave" for President Trump, all the numbers are a fake fraud, Biden didnt get 80 million votes, it's a fabricated lie

Democrats that own business and have investment in the USA have left the democratic party, they are part of the conservative Trump movement now

Do you think President Trump, and 100 Million+ voting Americans are just going to go away, after a criminal, fraudulent election took place before the world, that's "Exposed", and all its players? "NO" :love:

Silence Business Owners, Policemen, Firemen, Blue Collared Workers, Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Churches, and the list goes on?

"This Criminal Fraud Has Fueled And Solidified The Freedom And Democracy Movement For President Trump" (y)(y)

The coming months will be spent in litigation and immediate reversal of the criminal acts

Examples: New conservative Media "Parler", NTD, NewsMax, OANN, Epoch Times, Etc

"Republican Controlled" Battle ground States will see immediate changes in the criminal fraud election laws that were changed, remove electronic voting, recall stolen congressional seats in the House and Senate, special elections after recall, putting Republicans in the majority on these acts alone

The 100 Million+ Patriotic Americans Allowed The Process To Run Its Course, The Criminal Fraudulent Acts Will Now Be Reversed "Quickly"

And here I thought that ended that and we now have Biden/Harris. But then again I think its really eerie that Biden/Harris aren’t crowing in the media every chance they get to slam trump and say they won. It seems to me that we are still on hold somehow...maybe that’s until the 20th, that they think something could happen..idk.

This guy had some interesting things to say...however I do have to apologize for the language. This guy seems to think that they are still scared of trump and what he might be able to do to them still..yet trump looks to have given up..very strange.

He did so because it is related to the 'fear-factor' aspect of this thread - and, because it is what he is dealing with that concerns him.

You are more than welcome to do the same.

Only - let's not any of us [totally] derail the thread.

If we "run a rabbit", let's make sure the rabbit finds its way back.
