A Democratic congressman (Hank Johnson) from Georgia is drafting legislation to limit a Pentagon program that provides surplus military equipment to local law enforcement. Thanks to Dave Burton for the reminder.

An interesting week filled with revelation.
1. I realized Thursday that my high level of anxiety for almost one week was due to spiritual warfare. Once this was revealed to me, I was able to confront this attack. As usual, the Lord sent help to me. Hermit Sister in Italy sent me a notice the next day that I would be included in the intentions of Nine Traditional Latin Masses beginning on August 14th through the 22nd. I received this on the 14th.
2. The Lord has blessed me with more than I deserve. My end goal to hear “arise good and faithful servant” is unchanged. The Lord is putting people in my life who are in need of salvation and the Word. I believe this is because time is short before the revolution. I pray for the strength to do good works in his name and lead these people to Christ.
3. It appears that I will be living up to my namesake. As much as I would like peace, I am being lead to prepare for battle. I pray for Sacred honor and the ability to overcome evil:
The Armor of God – Ephesians 6
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God,so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 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.13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvationand the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
4. I was reminded of one of the lessons in Atlas Shrugged. As the government collapsed under its greed and arrogance, the people directly responsible for the destruction made plans to escape and live in luxury. This was one of the hardest lessons that I was taught. I could not initially grasp an evil that would create conditions to steal from and control people without remorse until the people were crushed or dead. This week showed me that we are close to this endgame: people who have helped destroy our Republic are not created equally. And the ones who are realizing that they will not be granted the salvation of the damned are making their own plan Bs. Never forget Bohoeffer’s admonition:
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil, God will not hold you guiltless.
Even Congressmen like Hank Johnson are realizing the personal danger that they have enabled will be impacting them. For some reason, I do not feel any sympathy for them.
Got Faith?
