TEST EVERYTHING...

The Apostle Paul EXPECTED Christians to be discerning...to TEST EVERYTHING! 

He wrote to the Church in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 5:19-23): 

19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test EVERYTHING; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe that this verse does not simply apply to "prophetic words", but actually the Apostle wanted followers of Jesus to be testing EVERYTHING. He didn't qualify what was to be tested so I'm going to go with the broadest possible interpretation. I don't think we will get rebuked for testing too many things by the Lord. 

It has been said that Jesus and the Apostles spoke 6X more about deception than about persecution as they sought to prepare future disciples for the future. I don't know who added the verses up in the New Testament to come up with that statistic, but clearly, the need for discernment was going to be one of the greatest needs the church would face going forward. 

So bringing this up-to-date...And this is especially important since so much of the church has gotten deceived about so many issues in recent years...i.e. the racial narrative (critical race theory), about Trump (and yes, I mean the NEVER-Trumpers), about Covid & the so-called "vaccines", about the 2020 Election (massive fraud happened) and most recently about Ukraine (in short, if you don't know what happened in 2013-14 with the U.S./Western-backed coup and all the corruption/evil that has been happening there, then you are entirely uninformed as to what is happening now and why).

What about this week and the news about Roe vs. Wade potentially about to be overturned? Why was this news "leaked"? It is again time for Christians to TEST EVERYTHING. Let us not again be naive and easily deceived by the latest narrative that the godless Left is going to be running with. They did this for a reason (or for reasons!). Was it to obscure the release of the film by Dinesh D'Souza called 2000 Mules which documents the massive voter fraud in the 2020 Election? Many conservative Christians bought the lie that the election was fair, that Biden won. Which he clearly did NOT! But because the fake news, and that included the so-called "conservative" news outlets in the MSM refused to report on the ever-growing evidence of fraud and even foreign interference in our elections. 

Could it be that the Ukraine narrative isn't working the way the Left (and/or the RINO, war-mongering right) wants? That the evil role America has been playing in Ukraine might actually start to come to light for all to see? 

Could it be that the leak occurred so that another summer of rioting is being set up, much like the way the death of George Floyd was used? (again an entirely distorted narrative used by the radical Left to divide the country, incite riots, cause violence, etc.). They will undoubtedly threaten the lives of the Supreme Court Justices who are going to vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. 

Could it be that this is related to the 80,000+ pages of Pfizer data that was released this week due to a FOIA request (which Pfizer tried to have delayed until the year 2075) proving the "safe & effective" mantra regarding the 'vaccines' was entirely a lie? 

Could it be that Biden's approval rating is the lowest in modern American History? 

Could it be that this is all a way to sabotage yet another set of elections that will be happening this November because the Left knows they will be slaughtered at the ballot box due to the horrible economy, gas prices, global instability, etc. etc.?

Don't get me wrong - am I thrilled to hear the news that the worst decision in American History is going to be overturned?? A decision that is responsible for the slaughter of over 60 million innocent lives? I am over the moon. But we MUST REMAIN vigilant! The pressure for Christians to back down when the blood-thirsty Left is rioting, looting, destroying property, and killing in American streets will be enormous! Just like so many Christians when they couldn't stand alongside President Trump because so many believed the slander about him (i.e. he's racist, he's sexist, he supports White Supremacists, he colluded with Russia, etc.). They know that 9 times out of 10, Christians will cower when under immense pressure. And I can see millions of pro-Life Christians back down in supporting a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade thinking they are going to help quench violence! Imagine backing down on stopping the infanticide of millions to save a few lives!! 

All this to say is that in this hour Christians MUST TEST EVERYTHING! Test things and then seek further confirmation. Understand the tactics of the enemy! Paul wrote to the Corinthians (2 Cor. 2:11) that Christians are "not unaware of his [the devil's] schemes" AND YET, over the past 10 years, much of the Church has demonstrated on issue after issue that they were anything but aware of what was happening!

May this be our finest hour! May this be the hour in which the Church of the Living God rightly discerns the tactics of the enemy of our souls, and his massively effective means to deceive not only those who are a part of his kingdom of darkness, but for the millions of Christians who have believed his numerous lies in recent years. 

TEST, TEST, TEST and then...HOLD ONTO TO WHAT IS GOOD!!!
