According to Purpose
“Being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.”
Ephesians 1:11.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28.
“For by Faith ye Stand.”
2 Cor 1:24.
What is the main purpose in life? To achieve? To achieve wealth? Power?
Is this meme not a good representation of the sum of life for many? From the beginning we become indoctrinated into a reality that seemingly rewards those whom have accumulated the most wealth, with the most satisfying experiences and with the most happiness in this thing called life.
I cannot speak for anyone who has lived in times without the monolith of media influence, but I reckon that the glorification of wealth and pursuit of power did not originate in my lifetime, in fact the annals of history do chronicle well these endeavors of our fathers to conquer and control, to gain and to prosper, and that money does indeed purchase one’s freedom, that it can buy power, that it truly does ‘answer all things.’
This baptism into a world built on the privilege of buying power, immerses everyone into system that can only be viewed honestly as a function of slavery.
Some live their entire lifetime a debtor and slave to the system. Others balance the pursuit with purpose, as the old adage suggests, in that getting paid to do what you love is the ultimate dream.
However the troubling part is that through this pandemic we can see that the ultimate dream, the American dream, (of whom it is these dreamers I consider as I write this) has broken down.
I would venture it is because the foundations have been destroyed.
Destroyed by meth, porn, heroin, pharmaceuticals of all kinds, Marxist teaching in the public schools, the removal of the Ten Commandments from the courthouses, the removal of God from the public schools, the banning of prayer, the constant torrent of agenda soaked information, the 24 hour news cycle, the fake news, Wikipedia, the complete corporate monopoly held by a private investment firm, the removal of God’s covenant between a man and a woman in the courtroom, the Trans-agenda and the Rising Pride of the militant movement against our children— it is truly the destruction of the foundations, even the same as David wrote of as he penned the question: “If the foundations be destroyed, what are the righteous to do?” Psalms 11:4
Our country and thus our dream have been under a steady attack, a constant erosion of the Biblical Principles that she was founded on, and a fierce fight against those values that unified us, and made us great.
The American Dream is no longer recognizable or definable in such a way that makes sense anymore.
Now we face the implementation of mandatory vaccines, and vaccine passports, our neighbors to the north are locking up pastors and burning churches, while our cousins in Australia have built quarantine camps for those who break the quarantine laws, they have implemented new facial software track-n-trace applications to be downloaded onto smart phones so the government can trace your movements— and if you do not comply— off to the internment camps.
Where is all this heading? When a government usurps power and strips away individual freedom, it is never returned. Not without revolution or bloodshed. What we find then are the merging of worldwide corporations to influence the relinquishing of the sovereignty of nations. We find the emergence and the foundations of a world governance unfolding and and being established before our very eyes, in real time.
This Brave New World Order cannot be accomplished without the chaos and destruction of individual freedom, and the division of our country.
Everywhere you look and as far as the eye can see, you will find division.

This last image gives the most perspective about where we are as a whole of humanity, and just how far into our lives that fear and corporate control has delved. Even churches have caved to the corporate pressure that has strong armed the government into pursuing mandatory vaccination. Not since Nazi Germany have we ever seen experiments run on non consenting human beings. These are experimental drugs, by legal definition cannot be called a vaccine. These mRNA drugs do not provide any immunity for the Covid-19 pathogen.
It does not impede the transmission of the Covid-19 pathogen.
Two things that make something a vaccine, it cannot do.

Even the Red Cross is advising that they are no longer accepting blood donations from vaccinated people, that the “convalescent plasma should only be collected from the unvaccinated who still have clean blood that has not been contaminated with deadly spike proteins and other chemicals that threaten to kill those who receive blood transfusions.”
https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-vaccines-can-drive-pathogens-to-evolve-20180510/
Yet, even if these drugs could do these things, even if they could stop the spread and create immunity— to make them mandatory is against the Nuremberg codes which maintain that the “voluntary consent of the human subject is essential.”

These were written to protect all of humanity against Nazi Experiments 2.0, yet have been thrown out the window around the world, via a fear campaign initiated by the private equity firms that own all of the media, pharmaceutical, tech, and intelligence corporations. The owners of these big three investment firms have been dubbed ‘America’s De Facto Governing Board.’

Henceforth we are at an impasse in the history of our future, we are in a kind of an unknown quantum ripple. We are on the precipice of a worldwide takeover and lockdown, whereby a two class system is instituted. Those with the mark of the vaccine passport, and those without.
Those with the passport will be able to do just that, pass through any port they choose, travel, buy and sell, their social credits preceding them.
Those without will be ostracized, outcast, refused service, refused rights, refused the ability to travel, and ultimately imprisoned.
My point is that this is no longer compatible with the American Dream. This is no longer compatible with any Dream or Purpose I began life with. Yet for the believer, hope remains as the Word of explains these things must be so, and thus it is according to the Purpose of God.
How much fear would grip my soul had I not already known for most of my life that these things were written of two thousand years ago, and that it is happening just as God said it would? I do not need to fear this unknown, rather to take heart, and begin to align my purpose according to the purpose of God.
There is no amount of money that can buy one’s freedom from the onslaught of tyranny that has been resurrected and is now moving swiftly towards utter, complete, without qualification and absolute— control.
So in order to survive I must begin to reflect on and redirect my purpose. Yes money is important, yes I have responsibilities, yes I can still buy groceries, yes I have to continue to provide and protect my family, but what does that look like?
Will I allow a small group of people to succeed in their purpose to utterly control me, and the rest of humanity? What is my purpose now, if not to wholly resist and educate against the coming tyranny?
I like Thomas Paine who reminds us that:
“The greatest tyrannies are always perpetuated in the name of the noblest causes.”
To quote C.S. Lewis would be appropriate here as well:
“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.”
It is evident to me that it is the whole of the world who have lost their collective minds and are running headlong towards a cliff and point of no return.
So for the ones who are going to run with me in the opposite direction this is for you.
Be encouraged. Being cancelled by this cancel culture is a badge of honor. Remember what Jesus said
“While ye have light believe in the light that ye may be children of the light.” John 12:36
Do not be as they who believed and refused to say so: “Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” John 12:42
Far too long have we sought acceptance by culture and a society that could never and would never accept us. We were cancelled the day we believed on Jesus.
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14:17
The world cannot receive truth, they cannot receive Jesus, and they cannot know truth— they ‘are blind and cannot see afar off,’ they are easily persuaded, having no anchor, and are ‘like a wave driven by the sea and tossed.’ They are “henceforth children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” They are going from bad to worse, ‘deceiving and being deceived.’
But Paul said to Timothy— “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
He said pay no attention to these running towards the cliff. Do not be deceived, hold fast to that form of sound doctrine, do not be persuaded by torrential stream of agenda, do not listen to these new doctrines that sound good, yet sound a warning in your heart. Do not be afraid, but stay steady in and hold fast to that instruction that you are assured of.
We have a rock, an anchor, we are moored to and married to the only truth that cannot be altered, it is unchanging, certain, it has withstood the test of time, it can be touched, perceived, pursued, it can be applied and tested and proved— it is the timeless, non local, prescient, omnipresent Word, a message from another dimension, another space and time. It is evidence of a better world, ‘a better country, that is one heavenly.’
So let us “set our affections on things above, not on things on the earth."
“For we are (already) dead, whose life is hid with Christ.” Colossians 3:3
Therefore let this be our purpose— Truth.
Observe:
“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:1
What a challenge to today’s generation— having seen now the facade, the illusion, having seen now behind the curtain, having understood that the simulation is a prison and that the only freedom is the Truth, let us therefore arm ourselves with the Truth, and no longer live the rest of our time here on earth in the flesh, to the lusts of the flesh, for the trivial pursuits, for the achievement of wealth, or for the lust of power, but to the Will of God.
Remember—“for in times past it may have sufficed us to have wrought the will of the world,” but having seen the truth, having awakened to the knowledge of God and the schemes of men and the wiles of the devil, let us then wholeheartedly resist.
Let truth be your purpose, your agenda, your mission. Daily walk in the courage and faith of knowing that this too is according to the Will of God, according to God’s purpose so that His Word might be fulfilled.
Know and hold this blessed assurance- ‘that I have never seen the righteous forsaken, neither their seed begging bread,’ and that through it all we can rest knowing that “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” Give yourself over to the purpose and will of God.
Buy the Truth and sell it not. Rather give it away as freely as it was given to you and resist the lies of this world at all costs.
God help us to see your Hand in these uncertain times. Help us to understand your will, help us to ‘understand righteousness,’ to seek wisdom and truth, to seek that ‘one thing needful,’ that ‘good thing,’ that ‘pearl of great price.’ Teach us how to count the costs and be not afraid, leave us with your peace that surpasses this world’s understanding, and through it all, help us to keep a single eye for You, Kingdom minded, focused, that we may say “It is well with my soul.” In Jesus Christ whose name we pray,
Amen.
