The reputation trap course...

As part of the training course here on earth, there are some courses lots of us go through. A common one is the reputation trap course.

Some of us were terribly proud of our education, and qualifications...

One of the qualifications I was very pleased with myself for achieving was a certificate in Mental Health First Aid, from John Hopkins.

Less so now I've found out about their involvement in the Dark Winter exercise, which looks very much to me like a predictive programming exercise.

The playbook is to create the crisis and flog the solution. Not a qualification I'll be boasting about and much more of a cautionary tale.

Philippians 3v3-9
"For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort, though I could have confidence in my own effort if anyone could. Indeed, if others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more
I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.

I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith."

Paul went through the spiritual reputation trap. Qualified? He thought so...

We're in a season where our trusted institutions are showing themselves for exactly what they are, their values, and we re-consider their value to us.

Paul really thought he was righteous. He was born to be a child of God, and had made every effort to be a good person, being obedient to all the rules.

Watched the coats of people who were killing followers of the Way... They were on his watchlist of dangerous dissidents to round up.

Divine intervention very much needed.

Right now there are good people, who think they're righteous, condoning, supporting, working for, sending their kids to, and funding institutions that have horrific histories and are complicit with evil agendas for humanity.

What happens on this training course, is that we get to see where we have put our faith. It is not always a fun experience, but is for our highest good.

Is your faith in your education? health? status? your doctors? your government? who are you obedient to?

What is a test of faith?

Paul had it so messed up, he was so self-righteous, so qualified, he was standing by watching children of big G's blood being shed, approvingly.

He needed a reality check, and got a lesson.

Jesus had a word with him, and he was temporarily blinded by light from heaven. He was put into a situation where he couldn't rely on his own ability to even walk independently. He had to go and ask for help from the people he'd been persecuting.

Time for a spiritual handbrake turn?

Faith was what the most high wanted from us from the start. We were loved first. We decided we'd like to try a little wisdom... Big G hasn't changed His mind. He still wants faith. At this point in history we're being challenged area by area of our lives, about what and who we have had faith in... We can't get right with big G any other way, but through faith.

Where's your faith?

If you know you are working for, co-operating with, condoning, or paying lip service to evil, you're putting yourself and others at risk.

Not standing up against something you know is wrong, and when it doesn't affect you directly, not standing up for the oppressed and victimised leaves you in an extremely dodgy moral position...

Let me tell you, when they came for carers with vax mandates, and you didn't stand up for them in any way, because attending protests would affect your reputation, or because writing to your MP might have drawn attention to the fact that you have morals that include not forcing people to take experimental injections, because you didn't want to draw attention to yourself, you opened the door to a harsh learning experience.

When you put your faith in the wrong place, expect to be challenged. Reputation is just one of the areas where we're being challenged.

Where is your faith? Is your soul and a clear conscience worth more than your reputation?
