As a pastor, here’s my warning about the Epstein files that just got declassified… Guard your heart and your soul. It’s not always wise to be an expert on the wickedness that’s going on around you. Stay focused on the right things.

Terrible advice. “Just sweep It under the carpet and ignore it”… That’s precisely how/why it has festered and happened.

Is that what I said?

@MGator9 Boy judgment day is going to be wild! The scared, the compliant the grifters for fame and comfort. I pray everyday I never show this level of cowardice. Let it all burn

@MGator9 You don't even have the courage to use a real name and a real picture.

Sticking our heads in the sand got us here.

Is that what I said?

Yes, it is exactly what you said. For too long the people have left it up to the experts and the experts did nothing. That is on their heads but now it is the people’s responsibility. Ezekiel 33:6-8 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

No. Too many people look away. That’s the problem.

Amen, brother. Also, there's the warning of Galatians 6:1: "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted."

On the counter argument to that. We are also caused to reprove evil. Stand against it and expose. The first rule of combat is to know your enemy. But let me clarify. Study your enemy. Their strengths, weaknesses and tactics. But do not make it your life. Staring into the abyss has consequences.

if we were simple minded concerning evil things this type of abominable shit never would have been uncovered and probably would still be lurking in the darkness prowling upon more prey

Rough take......our job is to expose evils not ignore them. Sorry but my Soul has handled this for 20yrs. I love Jesus more than ever knowing how deep the evil goes. I will continue to learn and yell from the roof tops even when no one listens. Maybe some are more built for it.

Then I get a group text from my church inviting me to Melania I just found this church and loved it because they never mentioned politics 🫠😩

You want a church that never mentions politics? Sounds terrible.

@promuatn they shouldn't

@kapchatfield Remember the slogan “Not of this world” We aren’t 😉

@Rumrunner11 Also remember, “salt and light”. We are.

@Rumrunner11 I can’t change who God ordains by voting

@Rumrunner11 You can choose to be a voice for the voiceless, though, and contend for the values most conducive for human flourishing. Or we can let others vote to abort babies and allow children to mutilate themselves without parental consent. 🤔

@Rumrunner11 Those things are awful but when I read the Bible, especially the end, the whole point is these evils will be addressed. Politics is pointless People to people is how I see the salt and light part My hope is not in leaders, lawmakers, scribes Just Jesus

I knew about a lot this years ago…I would tell people and I was looked at as if I had 10 heads…saw photos and they are evil and demonic.. I constantly have to remember the armor of God.

Expose evil! You don’t close your eyes to it.

I am strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might. We must depose them, not ignore evil. Root them out. Ephesians 6:10-12: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Understanding evil will bring many to seek Jesus!!!!!

So will surviving a car accident.

@guard_s28571 Pastor, do you care to answer the question I asked you?

@guard_s28571 What question

One must guard their heart and mind. Not everyone should walk through these fires...if they aren't spiritually grounded.

I saw a young Christian so upset that justice had not been “served”, and I have been praying for a way to help her cope. We cannot fix the wicked; we do not hold them accountable in the courts of heaven—God does. He knows. He will destroy, correct, and judge in His perfect timing. What we need to do is keep our own house in order. Focus on the beautiful wonders and mercy before us. Focus on “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” If you fix or resolve anything, let it be your home. Guard it and your heart from evil. You do not need to look at their evil or study it to know it is not of God. Be aware, but stay on guard. Continue your unwavering commitment to God, regardless of the choices others make. Thank you, brother.

God’s word tells us to live a quiet life, work with our hands and mind our own business! 🙏 been really focused on this lately in 1 Thessalonians to stay in prayer and to focus on encouraging others to keep their eyes on Christ. Not the storms and broken world. It’s been hard but discipline = peace and freedom from worry.

@elliesangelwing Exactly… The victims deserve acknowledgment, justice, prayer & truth. Silence protects predators. Light matters. But… prolonged exposure to depravity, especially w/out a strong spiritual anchor, does things to the soul. The worst part would be becoming desensitized to it all.💔

Agreed.

Many of us who fell down this rabbit hole 7+ years ago actually turned to God because of what we had discovered. Yes its hard to go through but God is revealing what needs to be revealed to call the lost to Him.

We don’t have to be experts but the Bible says to know who our enemies are.

Thank you! I needed that word. I have been overwhelmed in anxiety and sadness over the children, frazzledrip, Epstein etc...angry because Im helpless to be able to help and feeling hopeless!! I spend hours a day searching the evil. Its so heavy &overwhelming. Zero accountability

If Christians dont seek truth and justice, shining a light in the darkness - well ... 🧐

I’ve been reminding myself of this. This is very good advice.

At the same time the silence from the church over this has been disheartening. If the church leaders ignore this it will speak volumes about the state of the nation.

Wear the full armor of God and fear not of what is to come. We are the followers of Christ and we will be persecuted for it. Have a blessed day my brother. 🕊️

It's heavy but needs to come to light.

"My People perish for a lack of knowledge."

Maybe we’re not supposed to “handle it”. Maybe we should be outraged. Maybe we should be talking about it to anyone who will listen.

There is a balance ... & it depends on our purpose. Are we a Bonhoeffer? A David called to defeat Goliath or an Esther who must be brave to speak? & yes, we need discernment, John was beheaded for pointing out sin.

«and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove them, for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say. But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.» Ephesians 5:11-13

This is a good warning but be gentle. These files hust came out. And God is revealing it. He’s not revealing it for no reason. For many people, this is going to be the thing that opens their eyes that Satan even exists Kap. Many will come to God. Luv ur 🤍Many perspectives 🙏🏼✝️

Amen! Focus on things that are pure. I had to mute some words so I wouldn’t see stuff on my timeline. Guard our hearts and minds in Christ. Stay strong everyone. Love each other.

Philippians 4: 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Good word Kap. My spirit has been so heavy after reading/seeing some of the details from the Epstein files. And while we are in this new age of deception, if even 10% of it is true it is incomprehensibly evil. Keeping my eyes fixed on Jesus.

What is the right thing? Call out evil and cry for Justice, right? Apart from praying already regarding the situation.
