My eyes are just rolling in the back of my head from frustration. It has become INCREASINGLY difficult for me to discern what is truth, and the layers of truth and deceit just seem to be so deep and difficult to sift through. Here are some examples: The video posted regarding Dr. Ardis and "Watch the Water," to include Stew Peters himself, are being claimed by some as "controlled opposition" that are spreading truths amongst lies. At first I'm like, you have got to be kidding me... I have listened to Stew Peters for the past 1.5 years, and I have heard him speak against the enemy "in Jesus' name." But there are people out there posting/supporting claims he is a freemason, doing various freemason symbols. Videos are showing gematria that support satanic numbering regarding Dr. Ardis' name, freemason, watch the water, and on and on and on... I mean, I can state so many things that I see, or hear that make me question what is this person's intention that is: 1) posting the video and making the claims about a person? 2) That is spoken about? Also, for both the one making the dispute and the other sharing "truth or deceit," who is their God, Lord and Savior, where is this person's heart at? This goes not just for the person, like Stew, Dr. Ardis, a youtuber, Trump, Politicians, friends, family, or even myself. In war, truth is one of the first things to fall, so we need to discern and put on the full armor of God. The enemy will infiltrate the church... 2 Corinthians 11:12-15- " And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds." So what does the bible tell us to do, when it comes to discerning? 1 John 4 (ESV): "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and know is in the world already." I hope what I am saying makes sense, and I am sure that if I feel this way, that I am not alone. I really posted this because I need some wisdom to see through the lies and intentions of one's heart. So hoping to hear back 🙂 Walk in faith of Christ alone, coupled with the Spirit's leading and discernment which is most crucial in these last days! And then put your ultimate trust only in God! Letting the eyes of the Lord discern accordingly! In the end, only the word of the Lord can be trusted! Not the words of men! Any errors on our part the Lord will reveal! Again trusting in Him alone! We must be experienced in discerning the spirits guidance in our lives alone and not for others! For this is our personal integrity! Unlike Adam who forsook the word of the Lord for another's word! Somewhere along the line we as Christian's have assumed responsibility for others, God forbid! TR The enemy will infiltrate the church… Your comments and concerns are that which I have pondered too. What I find is that more and more I disconnect myself from the things of this world. That's sounds far more pious than it actually is. I have always been a data gatherer but in the past few years I find that I can do without it. So much garbage is being thrown at us today and at a rate that none can keep up with. So I just don't engage anymore. I don't read much news and I find I am happier because of that. God will lead me in the path He wants me to travel and that's good enough for me. If I die then so what. My goal is to get off of this planet anyway. Knowing all of these things that are going on is not going to change my standing one way or another. I do not believe Trump or anyone else is going to "save" the USA and our former way of life. That is over. Done. Finished. And good riddance. I'm ready for Christ's Millennial Kingdom so let's get started. So I don't find it necessary to know all of these great things going on. I don't care where covid came from, why its here, how to get rid of it. I don't care. And I also have a much greater piece of mind. My days are numbered. God knows my expiration date. Nothing man can do will change it one way or another. No evil can come against me unless God allows it. And THAT is where I will focus my discernment. Well said! TR I understand both the frustration in trying to discern what is true or right in these crazy times and I also understand the desire to disconnect from this world as it certainly has nothing to offer us any longer. I have walked a difficult line between the two myself over the last couple of years. I have come to a few conclusions. Covid is a bioweapon that has not been completely identified and I am open to theories about what it actually is because as a provider, it will help me take care of patients. I am researching the venom theory after the post about it. The Lord has provided treatment options for us during this fiasco and I am grateful for that, so even if we never determine exactly what it is....if I can treat it, that is ideal. The vaccine is proving to be in the least ineffective and at the worst a danger to health and life; however saved persons that took the vax are not in danger of losing their salvation and it is not the MOB, however the conditioning for it has begun. There is little to no truth in government, media and sadly many places that call themselves churches. Not only are the lines being distinctly drawn between good and evil, they are rapidly being drawn between rational thought and completely irrational thought bordering on the insane. I recognize as the pages of prophecy come to life from the pages of scripture that what has been written will come to pass, and thankfully for the worst of it, we will not be here Praise the LORD!! My circle of influence gets smaller daily and I am completely fine with that. I will work in the capacity that the Lord has determined while I occupy and pray for discernment in all that I am exposed to.....but my heart has already left for our eternal Home in Heaven where our citizenship is...just waiting on that trumpet so the rest of my incorruptible body can join it; and my schedule is clear and open every day.....even so come Lord Jesus Very well said, Churchgal. I find this to be a common thread among Christians: My circle of influence gets smaller daily That is a blaring reality in my life. If that isn't a sign of the times then I do not know what one is. My circle of influence gets smaller daily... That statement really resonated with me as well. My heart has felt compelled to keep fighting for truth. Not because I believe things will go back to how they were, which I totally see now is not good either. But because I feel really bad for the lost. During this plandemic I've gone through some pretty good trials. I thought for sure I would have been court martialed already, and thrown in the brig. I also have a civilian job, and I was pretty sure I was going to be fired. I even set up interviews for my boss, for my replacement, at his request. That was back in November of last year. But God is still working in me, and through me. I have seen a softening of hearts, even in my boss. So I keep in the fight. We are at war, spiritually, for sure. I have to persevere through the end, that's my conviction. I just really appreciate the insight you all have shared. I don't say much on this site, and am thankful for the experiences, and wisdom shared! Iron sharpens iron, but a tender love can melt mountains! TR but my heart has already left for our eternal Home in Heaven Yes churchgal ~ Amen! 
He already has.
