While You’re Looking for Answers in Evil, Believers Are Fighting a War

In a world spinning deeper into confusion, many are searching for answers—grasping at politics, philosophies, new-age spirituality, or self-help ideologies. But while the world debates and dissects, believers are engaged in a very real war—one that’s not visible to the eye but felt in every corner of the soul.

This war is spiritual, and it rages daily.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

— Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

There are no sidelines in this battle. You are either resisting the darkness or slowly becoming part of it. Evil isn’t hiding anymore—it has infiltrated our institutions, media, language, and even the way we think. And while the world looks for answers within the darkness, believers are pressing forward in faith, clothed in the armor of God, holding the line with truth and righteousness.

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

— Ephesians 6:13 (KJV)

The only true answer is to submit to God. Not partially, not when it’s convenient—but completely. Full submission leads to salvation, and salvation is the only escape from the coming judgment.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

— James 4:7 (KJV)

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

— Acts 4:12 (KJV)

Faith in Jesus Christ is not a suggestion—it’s the only lifeline. You cannot walk in both light and darkness. You cannot find truth while entertaining lies. You must choose. And choosing means trusting: trusting in God’s Word, His plan, and His salvation.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

— Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV)

If you’re still trying to decode the world’s evil in hopes it will lead you to truth, you’re being deceived. You will never find the light by studying the shadows. Run to the Light. Run to Christ.

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

— John 8:12 (KJV)

The time for searching is over. The time for surrender is now

The Father heart of God wraps His children in unconditional love, extending grace and acceptance despite their shortcomings. With mercy and forgiveness, He always welcomes them back into His loving arms.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Steve cobs

Why do people keep acting as if Steve Cobs is their savior? He is a fictional character, from a fictional show. He can not be your savior!

I'll pray for this fandom.

12.18.2021 | The Day Pastor Denver Changed my Life.

Tonight, I was talking with a friend about God & I told him I'm only certain of ONE thing about life: God is Real.

I let life slowly rob me of my child-like faith. When I was about 10 or 11ish, I quit going to church & fell into some bad habits. I always knew that there was something out there that is bigger than us but, in the 20ish years that followed, I stopped believing that it was the guy that my pastor talked about every Sunday at church.

I called myself a "scientist" &, admittedly, was very close-minded about Christianity & religion. I welcomed every other piece of "evidence" that I learned about life, the universe, human history, etc. I developed, what I believed to be, a pretty solid "Alien Theory" out of the accumulation of all the knowledge I accepted as possible fact, excluding the invisible man that says things we can't hear & exists in a place we might see when we die. (It's since evolved into a "Life Theory". But that's not what this post is about.)

My boyfriend, at the time, was a real "Bible thumper" type. He was always trying to get me to watch preachers or listen to him read the Bible. I would tolerate it, but I'd already heard most of it before. When I was a kid: I was the one that got my family into church. I was baptized. I had kid Bible books. I knew most of the stories. I knew who "God" was, I just didn't think he was a real dude anymore.

Well, one day, a co-worker told him about a pastor that "casts demons out of people". My GrEaT cHrIsTiAn MaN, insisted that we go to one of the services because he was convinced that this pastor could cast ThE dEmOn Of AuTiSm out of his non-verbal, autistic 4-year-old daughter.

Next thing I knew, we were on the way to some random church, in some random town, to see some random dude who had to be full of shit, right? (I grew up Pentacostal, so I assumed it would have that kind of vibe.) My boyfriend thought, for sure, that his daughter was going to come out of that church talking in full sentences & all would be great in the world.

I hope my sarcasm is being transferred through my words 'cause, even though MY life changed for the better that night, the fact that he thought she needed to be fixed reaaaaaally pissed me off. She was/ is a darling; she needed patience & attention, NOT an exorcist! Anyway, that's also not what this post is about.

We were late. So, Denver, the pastor, was already doing his thing. Brian, my dude, sat in the back (embarrassed about being late & 'cause his kid was running around & screaming her head off), I chased her around for a few minutes, let her check the place out, then went to sit with Brian.

Y'all. we were there MAYBE 5 MiNUTES & Denver pointed me out & said "that little lady back there..". & my life was forever changed & all it took was A MiNUTE & A HALF.. 3 facts in 90 seconds.

I looked up & all I could say was, "I hear you"..

(to God, in case there was any confusion.)

I'm a sCiEnTiSt, right? I pick things apart. "Why" & "how" are my favorite questions. Now, to explain WHY those 90 seconds left such an impact:

Brian wouldn't care enough to tell his co-worker that stuff about me or have the mastermind idea to use this opportunity to trick me into believing. Also, I probably would have bet money that he didn't even know those things anyways.

Even if he did; his co-worker wouldn't have told the pastor, 'cause, remember, we weren't there for me. So, he'd have no reason to. Plus, the co-worker really believed in what Denver was doing. So, to set that type of scenario up would have been an insult to everything that was going on there.

I have an unhealthy connection to the number 3. Like a repetition thing, but also like a comfort thing..? I'm not hyper-aware of everything I say & do, so I don't know when it's absentminded, but I do know that when I am paying attention, I like things in 3's.

I was only in the building for maybe 5 minutes before he pointed me out. I hardly even had enough time to sit down & get comfortable. He caught me completely off guard.

Denver came on a bit strong, as you can probably tell by the video. But he didn't miss a beat, & he was on point with 3 of the top things I struggle/ d with. (Admittedly, I was skeptical about the first one. I said "sure, yeah", not 'cause I wanted to physically "go someplace", but I was definitely "unsettled" with life & "wanted to move" to whatever was supposed to be next.)

The "sadness from years ago; about 12 years old". I said, "13, yeah" but, after I thought about it, he was right. I said 13 'cause my father was murdered when I was 13, but my parents started doing drugs when I was 12, & my father was killed by the dealer. (Lots more happened around that time, but those had the biggest impact, & 'caused the greatest sadness.. my father was my best friend.)

Oh, the woooooorry. I still worry, but I don't worry near as much as I did before I came back to God. But then he said, "does she worry over mom?" & my soul sank. I noticed that he didn't say "dad", which would have raised an eyebrow.. but he said "mom". This one was true, but not in the way I thought at the time. Without getting too far into it, I was worried about our relationship. Hate & resentments are dangerous & eventually bleed into all aspects of life, even places you'd never think. (God gave me forgiveness for my mother in March 2023. I never cared enough to ask for it but, He knows what we need & gives it to us at the right time.)

[✨] Saturday December 18, 2021. One of the greatest days of my whole life. The day the Lord gave me EXACTLY what I needed to stop being so hard-headed & return to Him. My life hasn't been all rainbows & butterflies since that day, but I have NO doubt that I wouldn't have survived all that's happened since then if I hadn't have let God back into my life. Even in the darkest parts of the last 3 years, I never felt alone. I could feel Him with me. Even though I still fight with Him, I know He hears me. I know that He shows/ tells me what I need to see/ hear at the exact moment & in the exact way that I need to. I'm not the best "Christian", I still have a long way to go, but I know that God is the best parent & He will never give up on me, so, even though I fail more than I'd like to admit, I won't ever stop trying.

He knows me well enough to know that I pay more attention & I'm more open to information when I'm caught off guard. He knows I like things in 3's. He knew that those 3 things were going to catch me enough off guard just enough to let me know, without a doubt, the whole 90 seconds could have only come from one place: Him. He must have also known that, even though I buried it down deep, I knew He was the something bigger I always believed in, I just needed to stop listening to the world & start really listening to Him again.. & get out of my own way.. He's still being patient with me on that one..

✝️ Only a Few Believed Then… Will You Believe Now?

At the time of Jesus’ crucifixion—around 30 to 33 AD—the estimated population of Earth was roughly 200 to 300 million people.

Out of hundreds of millions, only 12 openly chose to follow Him.

Twelve.

Not because of status or miracles. Not because of institutions. They followed Him because they had faith. Faith in God. Faith in His Word, foretold through the Torah and Old Testament.

They believed in what they couldn’t see.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

— Hebrews 11:1

Some eventually came to believe—but only after they saw signs.

Many more, though, feared the rulers, feared Pharaoh, and hid their belief.

“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him… for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.”

— John 12:42–43

And today?

People still hide their faith—behind closed doors, behind denominations, behind the noise of organized religion. The Truth is not fractured. It is whole, it is alive, and it is one.

“There is one body, and one Spirit… One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all.”

— Ephesians 4:4–6

It doesn’t matter what label you wear—Christian, Catholic, Baptist—what matters is that you seek the Truth.

And here is the Truth:

There is One God.

That One God gave His Son to save us.

Jesus Christ—Yeshua—came, walked humbly, loved fully, and said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

— John 14:6

He promised He would rise after death. And He did.

He promised He would return. And He has.

He told His disciples:

“I go to prepare a place for you… and if I go… I will come again, and receive you unto myself.”

— John 14:2–3

We now live in a world of billions, yet so few truly believe. Divided by denominations and blinded by distractions, the world is deaf to the voice calling them home.

But I stand here today, not just as His wife—but as a believer.

A sinner saved by Amazing Grace.

The one out of the ninety-nine that got lost… and was found.

And I proclaim to you, as the twelve once did:

He has returned.

He is here.

Thadius Chester Wind is the Son of Man.

He is calling the elect.

He is facing persecution, betrayal, and silence just as Christ did.

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you… for my sake.”

— Matthew 5:11

The question is:

Will you hear His voice? Will you follow Him?

Or will you wait… and be too late?

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

— Matthew 11:15

Retutn to the Lord

Return to the Lord Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. How many of us would qualify for this verse of scripture?  What the Lord is impressing of my heart is the word RE-TURN.  Like repentance it means to turn from the way we are going…

Second Sunday of Advent - Prepare the Way (Luke 3:1-6)

We remember at this time of year that God does not remain distant, but entered our time and space at a particular moment in history, for a distinct purpose.

The Call from John the Baptist to Repent, by Renier de Huy, 12th century In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of…

Illustrations of the Jubilee: the Parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son

The proclamation of the jubilee in Luke 4 governs the central thought of the whole Gospel of Luke, and the parables of the good Samaritan in Luke 10 and the prodigal son in Luke 15 are excellent illustrations of the jubilee. The Lord Jesus came to announce the jubilee, even to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. When He came, jubilee came. He Himself is the jubilee. Before Him, the law put…
