SUBJECT: Avoiding Disaster by Preparing for Disaster. New World Order's
Outward Coercion versus the Free Gifts of the Heart in Zion.
The following was written this morning for inclusion at
www.JosephPrep.com/about_us.htm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We believe the best way to avert disaster is to be prepared for it,
physically, spiritually, and emotionally, both individually and as a
Society.
Indeed, a good thing about hard times is that they can draw people
together. However, it is our strong belief that the more exalted
relationship is one in which we pull together even when circumstances do
not impel us to do so.
We have a strong belief in the scriptural prophecies about the judgments
or consequences that will follow individuals and nations when they live
contrary to eternal laws of harmony, freedom, love, and respect.
It is our belief that the extent of calamity that comes upon us as a
people has a correlation with the degree to which we turn from God and his
eternal truths. We can choose to turn to God by awakening to a sense of
our awful situation BEFORE the calamities actually hit, in which case the
repentance/grace clause enables those calamities to be turned away or
significantly diminished -- depending upon the degree to which the heart
has been yielded to God and changed by him.
We hope that you will find the resources here to be of assistance to you
as you prepare physically for the calamities that await us. At the same
time, we hope you will find the scripture word code studies and other
resources at our main web site, www.GreaterThings.com to be of significant
value in assisting you to prepare spiritually and emotionally.
In the best-case scenario, we all willfully repent and turn to the Lord,
thereby turning away the destructions that await us.
But because people have the sublime gift of agency, there will likely be
many who will insist on continuing in the ways of wickedness, thereby
bringing to pass many of the consequences spoken of in prophecy.
Yet in all this preparation to be able to endure the tribulations to come,
we must NOT think that one of the key lessons is that our interdependence
has brought these calamities upon us. Yes, private victory is good and
necessary, but public victory -- pulling together -- is better yet. When
we master both, then we will have the long-awaited Zion.
Socialism is wrong because it externally forces humankind to work
together. Coercion is not of God. A society built upon such a foundation
cannot be sustained. The socialist New World Order being implemented at
present will fall.
What we need to learn to do is to work together of our own free will. And
what the gospel teaches us is that the natural man, the alter-ego if you
will, is not compatible with such a willful losing of oneself for the
benefit of others. This innate sinful nature of the flesh cannot be
overcome of itself. Marxism seeks to apply the necessary change
externally by force. Christ brings that change by changing the heart that
is yielded to him, producing a new creature: a man or woman of God,
infused with the Holy Spirit, spontaneously doing good as the Godness in
him or her is manifest freely.
This is the society for which we seek. It is founded on the gospel, which
enables the private victory, from which springs a righteous society of
individuals thus touched. It is Zion.
