PSALMS 144:1 Blessed be God my Rock who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. I think that is the scripture you were looking for. It's ingraved on the back plate of my Glock.
My church suffers from normalcy bias. We have radios, a video camera system, two golf carts for parking lot patrol. The retired swat officer that trained our local police department how to shoot. Will give free pistol classes. But no one will show up. The safety team has never met. My plan is to take cover in my pew once the shooting starts and wait 5 minutes for all the untrained CCW holders to shoot one another before I exit the building! I can’t fix stupid!
Sounds like my church! Radios, video cameras, two golf carts, and a bunch of guys who think all they need is a gun. They refuse to train. Team leader had them do a watered down version of state LE Qual course (watered down because he said most of they team was to old or out of shape to get behind cover and/or hit the target. Offered to bring in highly qualified former SF medic to do CPR and Stop the Bleed, but they said he would be to scary.
It’s so unbelievably predictable, we all watched the stage being set. I am a new Christian, when Covid hit I knew it was evil bottom line, i kept looking for a reason for evil, how do people do evil things? It almost doesn’t seem real because I would never hurt anyone or side with any kind of evil on purpose, so can anyone else do the horrific things that are being done without guilt? Through hard research I found Satans foot print without question. I thought I was an atheist, it was a combination of the view that was placed in my head of the cosmos, planets, energy, never ending universe, etc. and the emphasis placed on religion and war that lead me astray for the most part. I have always been a very caring person, I take cause and effect very seriously somehow I use cause and effect analysis naturally. That being said I need to say this and it just happens to be hear, the lie is bigger than any of us can imagine, we are all aiding the evil without actually knowing it because we are being tricked out of our free will. The free will we were given by YAWH is so unbelievably important. The lie itself is actually imbedded in our language itself. ( please forgive for being a bit erratic but faith is new to me, I believe without question but the stage is set so bluntly that I fear for what we are about to experience ). We need to look at it like this we are voting ( some of us ) to be governed, the ones we are giving permission to govern us have a different definition of the word governing itself. By voting alone we are agreeing with what ever evil they chose to unleash we are giving up our free will by doing nothing and expecting that we are using the same language. We are not using the same language, he was a liar from the beginning, the truth is not in him!! Followed by the world is a stage and we are all actors!! We are so divided, a million different meaningless occupations, a million different hobbies, the cost of living lie, the currency lie. I don’t know what the answer is but I believe that we are supposed to be taking a direct stand against anyone that would side with or cause evil. We need to find a way to use our free will so the powers that be can’t pretend they didn’t hear it. The powers that be have things set up in a way that we can’t communicate with them, the people we voted to protect us have made sure we can’t speak to them directly?????? The lie is so advanced it’s beyond my attempts to even explain it in a rational way. Dear Heavenly Father please be with us and please give us the strength to carry out your will for us. Please help us to see the deception head on so we can make the right choices, please god guide us and give us strength so we can stand for truth , for love, and by your side against Satan and his governments!!!!
May by the Holy spirit of GOd you will find and be at peace and find wisdom. God wants us to be mature in Him and hearing from Him daily. God will meet with you as you allow Him to work in your life as you said surrender your will fully to Him.
Working on it, it’s just so incredibly bad, what we are living in, it’s so hard to understand how people can be a part of the things that are taking place. The deeper I look the worse it gets. All of us have been aiding it, unknowingly i want to say, or is that just an excuse? The question that really lead me to the truth was, why do we use money and support the idea of it, when at its core it is not true and can only cause classing, division, greed etc. and that’s just on our end. When you dig on its creation, when you follow the money that’s where you can actually see the truth point blank. These are grown men, bombing each other, that also says it all. There is no regard for Human life, for God, for creation in these people that we elected by default I might add. When you really see what satan is, what evil actually is, and how unbelievably almost beyond comprehension the deception actually is, it’s a very scary thing. I’ve done my homework, this can actually be traced all the way back to Cain. Why is this not taught openly in church? Why are these connections not pointed out by church leaders? It’s there, it’s in the manuscripts, why is it not more openly discussed? There are some very very important things being left out in most churches, I can’t say all because I truly don’t know but it seems to be a pretty wide spread failure of communication.
At our church we have a trained Dispatch Ministry and it really magnifies situational awareness. If your church wants to set up your own Dispatch Center you will find all the really important planning information in the book "Improving Security at Your House of Worship: A Dispatch Center Multiplies Effectiveness" by Richard F. Haines (Pp. 96, 2024)
I'm numb. But God the Holy Spirit will guide my hands and mind this morning at church. I'm on the church security team, we're lucky because our team actually runs drills and practice runs. I'm the guy who volunteered to watch the monitors - we have over 20 camera views inside & out. Heavenly Father, keep us safe and send Jesus back for us early, if it be Your will. Nevertheless, not my will but Your will be done.
Not at war IF Iran surrenders or comes to the negotiations knowing they’ll get their butt kicked. The OTHER issue is that there is talk that they knew we were coming and moved missiles or uranium stores to a safe location. Only God knows.
I just asked ChatGPT to give me the timeframe between US military action in the Middle East and the nearest (timewise) terroristic activity on US soil. It was a thorough search and I asked several different questions several different ways. The result, in summary is:
"There is no tight “strike today, attack tomorrow” pattern. Instead, what exists is:
*A broad trend of elevated domestic terror activity within 6–24 months of major U.S. military engagements involving Islamic or Iranian targets.
*These threats are often ideologically driven, not tactically synchronized.
*DHS/Intel agencies treat the weeks following strikes as critical windows for disrupted or inspired plots, even if historical evidence shows a delayed actualization."
We need to keep our heads on a swival for sure but also, let's not over react either.
I live in Eatonton, GA, approximately 22,000 in the county and about 6500 in the city limits. I have been attending several churches, two of which have very large parking lots. One has a security team and the other has no security. I call them "asleep." I want to attend the First Baptist Church on a regular basis, but they have NO SECURITY OUTSIDE THE CHURCH nor inside. However, Holy Spirit is inside. All staff are anointed! I would be devastated if any harm came to any of them.
I do not currently have email addresses, but Senior Pastor is Rev. Craig Williamson, D. Min. and Associate Pastor and Music Minister is Rev. Dylan Bowden. Would you send them something in the mail at P. O. Box 3400, Eatonton, GA 31024. I will share when I get email address, but that will not be until next Sunday morning. This note written on Sunday, June 22.
I so appreciate your time, your training and above all your love for our God and His word. Working with a couple guys at our church to step up security, you are a huge blessing! Thank you!

Their Supreme leader has not been killed. Agree threat level is extremely high, need to stay vigilant
What would a 70 year old disabled woman do?
Thanks !!!

And for many, a gun is the last thing they need. Hang in there and do what you can.
If I were you I'd move to another town. But how well are you being spirituality fed at this church? It it worth it?
I feel your pain.

The USA is NOT at war. Please get it right.
Tell that to the Iranians.
You mean the ones who try to deceive the world, oppress their own people, threaten non-Muslims, and refuse to communicate diplomatically?
I so appreciate your time, your training and above all your love for our God and His word. Working with a couple guys at our church to step up security, you are a huge blessing! Thank you!
