Didn’t believe it would ever come to America?

Deluded that we’re somehow exempt? Special? Better?

It isn’t coming? — it’s already here, it’s been here a long, long time…

…and no election, politician, or political party is going to stop it…

Or am I going to stay true…, choose my faith, choose to be obedient to… the way the Lord has called me to live.” (Fox News | iStock)

Far too many in America, in every Western nation, have been AWOL. Though not totally absent — as they have been diligent, obedient, and hardworking serving their master, Satan. Far too many in America, in every Western nation, that knows better have also been AWOL. Silent. Turned their eyes, ears, minds, and attention from the spiritual war that really escalated after World War II and has accelerated exponentially year by year, month by month, week by week, day by day to now where the landscape, the values, the laws made by mand change hour to hour in their serving Satan and the lies and evil he is the master of.

Appearing as an angel of light to the overwhelming majority, as do his ministers.

I may be redundant to subscribes and regular readers here, but over 40 years ago, while living in California, I observed. Keenly. This was before I was renewed of mind and transformed by the power of the Spirit of God. And I told folks in California than from what I witnessed and heard, that there was coming a time sooner, much sooner than later when homosexual “marriage” would be approved of in America.

I was royally mocked and laughed at. Told I was nuts and that such a thing would never happen here. Never happen here!

Didn’t take long to happen, did it, folks?

Do not misunderstand. This is not boasting of any sort. Merely reporting. I’m no prophet. Just a keen observer. I have always been so. From early childhood. I didn’t talk much as a child. I watched a lot and listened a lot. It’s just now, as a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, a child of God rather than a child of disobedience and once serving this world, thus serving Satan, that what God has led me to see and hear, along with how He made me, has made it possible for me to only say or write as I have and do as a result of my faith in the Lord, in His Word, and I am nothing. No boasting. I’m just one small, feeble, human instrument. Nothing more. Except saved by the free gift of grace from God, by my faith, God’s promises, and Jesus’s great sacrifice and love. Thank the Lord!

When I was dating my wife, over thirty-six years ago, I told her the same thing when the subject came up in one of our conversations. We had such conversations while dating. It wasn’t always light and fluffy. I enjoy deep, meaningful, real conversations. Something else that has died in our society while I’ve been alive. She also thought, at the time, I was cuckoo as a loon and such a thing would never happen here.

A number of years ago she changed her mind and realized I’m not nuts. Just very observant. And have a meager ability to take what I see, hear, and read in various places and paint a picture using the various things on the palette. Anyone could do this. If they would only take the time to pay attention. Listen. Really listen. Watch. Really watch. And then cease being so stubbornly blind and naive and face the realities that unfold. Rather than keeping so busy as to maintain their constant state of delusion and illusion. Loving the banality and actual insanity taking place.

I’ve also have been told a few months ago, in a telephone conversation with a teacher living in Midwestern America that what is discovered in the article below, by Hannah Grossman, “Is a coastal thing, it’s a California and west coast east coast things, it doesn’t happen here.”

Right.

More delusion. Constant delusion. It’s how we have arrived at the rotten state we now reside in.

Over forty years ago, more like forty-five now, the gentleman who promised me a job in California, that had been a lifelong friend of my parents, said, and I remember this as if it entered my ears and mind only a week ago, “What happens in California eventually makes its way across America and ends up everywhere.”

He uttered those words in an innocent and harmless way when visiting one time and he was a passenger in the family car. And the family car was stopped at a red light. And my father had the right turn signal on and was waiting for the lights to change so he could turn right. As California, many years prior, had made right turn on red lawful.

What happens in California does make its way across America.

And what happens in California and becomes accepted, the norm, and approved of is almost always the evil that foments and ferments in that place.

Don’t believe it’ll happen here? It already has. And it isn’t going to slow down or cease. It’s only spreading. Quickly. Everywhere. Because the government approves, the schools approve, the businesses approve, the entertainment and sports approve, many so-called Christian churches and denominations approve, and the people approve.

Read what takes place when the people approve; Romans 1.

If you’ve been residing in a world of delusion, denial, and illusion it is not too late to break out and join the reality of the ever escalating spiritual war taking place. NOT a political war, not a cultural war, not an American thing, a liberal vs. conservative matter as is always and only mentioned, spoken, or considered by the overwhelming masses, including the overwhelming majority professing they are Christians. No, this is purely God and His righteousness and his people versus Satan and his evil and his people engaged in all out constant warfare.

And the casualties are mounting up.

All because people refused and still refuse to believe. To confront reality. And would rather hide in the web of their delusion and denial.

Like all those people on the news when something awful happens where they live predictably saying to the camera and microphone of the local news crew, “I never thought this could happen here.”

Really?

Ever held, opened, read, studied, meditated upon — deeply thought — of what is written in the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God? Perhaps it’s time to do so and in accordance with that begin to view EVERYTHING taking place from the viewpoint of Scripture, of God’s Word in order to begin to see clearly, hear well, and come to understand. Everything needs to be seen, heard, and understood with Scripture as the measuring stick upon which all things are measured. Because that is the only way any clarity, any truth, any light will enter anyone’s heart, mind, spirit, soul and life.

Do you think it’s difficult now? It can’t get any worse? Just wait until next week or even tomorrow…

…because it’s only going to get worse, and worse, and worse still. Don’t believe this? It can’t happen here? I strongly urge you then to read Revelation, Daniel, Isaiah, Joel 1, and all the prophets, along with Matthew 24, and while you have that book available and in your hands…read it all, and believe it all.

Why did I add the words, Pandemic Worse Than COVID-19 In America, to the news article heading? Because while the COVID-19 virus is awful, deadly, and has taken many lives the “pandemic” of spiritual blindness, spiritual foolishness, the pandemic of evil awash in America, in every Western nation, and the world leads to ETERNAL DEATH.  nd one should not fear he who can harm the body, cause physical death — but greatly understand and fear eternal death. The second death. It is much, much, much worse than any earthly virus or disease, for it is a rot, a disease within the heart, the spirit, the soul, the mind, and all the body leading to eternal death. There is a cure. Really, there is. Know that book I mentioned getting into your hands and in front of your eyes and mind? The cure for eternal death, the present blindness, and ignorance is found there.

Christian teacher loses job after refusing to deceive parents on kids’ gender transitions: ‘From the devil’ (Video)

Wednesday, February 15, 2023

A California teacher, who lost her job after refusing to comply with a California district’s gender policies, citing Christian beliefs, is blowing the whistle on the expectations she felt as a teacher to not only hide students’ gender transitions from parents, but also to keep them in the dark through lying.

“I knew immediately, like in my gut, in my heart, in my soul, that there was a decision I had to make because, you know, these two things were totally butting heads,” Jessica Tapias, who worked at the Jurupa Unified School District, told Fox News Digital. “I essentially had to pick one. Am I going to obey the district in the directive that are not lining up with… my own beliefs, convictions and faith? Or am I going to stay true…, choose my faith, choose to be obedient to… the way the Lord has called me to live. And so it was crazy to be in the position where I realized that I couldn’t be a Christian and a teacher.”

In a notice under Superintendent Trenton Hansen’s letterhead, reviewed by Fox News Digital, the district said they couldn’t accommodate Tapias’ Christian beliefs which prohibited her from withholding information on gender transitions from kids’ parents.

“Consequentially, the District will release you from your employment effective at the end of the day on January 31, 2023,” the notice said.

“Based on your religious beliefs, you cannot be dishonest with parents… If asked about a student’s gender identity by a parent, you cannot refer the parent to a counselor, defer the inquiry and suggest they speak with a student…, or otherwise deflect the parent’s inquiry,” the letter, signed by assistant superintendent of human resources, Daniel Brooks, said.

“The district cannot accommodate your religious beliefs that… prohibit you from maintaining a student’s gender identity and refraining from disclosing a student’s gender identity from his/her/their parent(s)/guardians,” it continued.

Tapias said, “According to my school district, students have privacy. And so if a student shares information regarding a pronoun preference or thinking there may be the opposite gender of what they biologically are, if they share that information with a teacher, we are supposed to keep that info from parents in case the parent doesn’t know.”

“And there’s so many issues with that. How do we know the parent doesn’t know? Number two, …we’re talking [about] 12, 13, 14, 15-year-olds. I don’t believe [kids] should have this “privacy” to where their parents are being left in the dark about some very pertinent information about their well-being.”

Tapias, as a physical education teacher, also refused to allow “male genitals” in the girls’ locker room, in opposition of district policy.

“I don’t believe in my faith that that’s how God’s calling us to love by affirming those lies and confusion,” Tapias said. “I believe firmly that God created man and woman, and you are who he made you to be. And when someone has confusion about that, I believe that’s lies and confusion from the devil.”

Tapias said she originally went into teaching because she loved the idea of helping and supporting kids.

“The biggest reason was to make an impact,” she said. “I thought how amazing it would be to be a light to [kids] possibly coming from very rough homes like I did when I was a child. And so it was just so exciting for them to get to work in a field where it was just way beyond a paycheck, [where I would be] able to make a difference in a way that was priceless on young lives.”

She added, “We’re talking about children. This is a very moldable time in life… [when] the brain is developing and it’s so important that you have… good people to look up to, good models in your life, good teaching.”

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the district denied that it discriminated against Tapias based on her religious beliefs.

“The District denies the allegations raised by Ms. Tapia. The District takes seriously its obligation to accommodate its employee’s religious beliefs. Simultaneously, the District is obligated to comply with all local, state, and federal laws, including anti-discrimination laws and laws that protect students’ rights to privacy, which are in place to protect the nearly 2,500 employees and 18,000 students we serve. We cannot comment further on personnel matters,” the statement reads.

When Fox News Digital asked about the accusation outlined by Tapias that educators should lie to parents about students’ gender identities, they did not directly respond.

“The District is required to comply with all state and federal laws, including the California Education Code which guarantees a student’s right to participate in sex-segregated school activities and to use facilities consistent with the student’s gender identity, regardless of the gender listed on the student’s records,” they told Fox News Digital. “The District is also obligated to protect a student’s right to privacy which is guaranteed by state and federal antidiscrimination laws and the California Constitution. The District will continue to protect the rights of all students and staff as required by law.”

Tapias said she has retained an attorney, and intends to sue. “We are waiting for a right to sue letter from the [U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission], and then we will proceed from there.”
