Thoughts to think about

March 30, 2024

There was a war a long time ago; where everyone past, present, and future were in attendances. To decide what government we would live under. There were two choices presented:

The first option was presented by Lucifer, the Son of the morning he promised that our return home was guaranteed, on the condition that we would have no choices and would be forced to live by his rules. All he required was that he received the honor and glory for our safe return home.

The second option was that we would be given the freedom to act for ourselves, not to be acted upon. The choice was ours. However, our return was not guaranteed. Jesus Christ promised to set an example for us to follow, to redeem all those who would accept and follow him once we were on this earth. The honor and glory was offered to our Father by  Jesus Christ.

After much discussion, deliberation, and testimonies, a simple vote was called. Those in favor of Lucifer’s plan, then those in favor of Jesus’ plan. Those who voted for Lucifer’s plan of force and control, which totaled one-third of our brothers and sisters, including Lucifer, who became Satan, the father of lies lost their first estate. Those who were in favor of Jesus’ plan were granted their second estate. This would be a period of time to prove we would follow Jesus Christ, while living by faith on earth.

Today, we’re facing a resurgent of this continuous war again with Satan releasing his followers to influence, manipulate, and confuse individuals as to what is right. The question again is, whose plan, do we want to follow; freedom and agency, which we already voted for, once before, or force and control, which we already voted against, once before?

To have freedom and agency; this requires that we have the ability to choose and face the consequences of our choices, good or bad. Or to be forced and controlled without any choices to live by the edicts of others. The prevailing ideology of those using force and control is in contrast to what we voted for in the beginning. This is the new incarnation of Lucifer’s plan to force and control using scare tactics, propaganda, censorship, oppression, and punishment of those who will not conform.

However, conforming to their plans, tears away at yours and mine’s freedom and agency, and gives into their desire for total control, Lucifer’s plan. Freedom and agency are his enemies that he fears, which those working with him want to and are working at abolishing. Every time forced and control has been implemented, millions upon millions of our brothers and sisters have and continue to die.

There are many organizations (governments and non-government) that are willing and have the desire to control everyone under the guise of a climate crisis, equity, diversity, and inclusion, all these efforts to protect the planet, and controlling society without a common consensus. This is their new version of Lucifer’s plan. Ronald Regan (President of the United States of America, 1981 – 1989) once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” (12 Aug 1986) How right his statement has been proven to be.

Another statement on what government function should be came from Ezra Taft Benson (President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 1985-1994), “the most important single function of government is to secure the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.” So, which side of this war are you willing to assist in succeeding? Your freedom and agency are in the balance. Our choice is still between Lucifer’s plan and the plan of Jesus Christ.

As for me and my house we will follow our Lord, our Redeemer, and our Savior, Jesus the Christ.
