I am sure the majority of people on this forum felt the way I did yesterday.
Yesterday I felt as if I was in the middle of a spiritual war and all hell was breaking loose. I spent a large part of the day trying to figure out how to respond to the election. I read, watched youtube videos and talked to some friends. Last night while sitting on the couch and channel surfing we ended up on AHC, American History Channel and they had a special about the American Revolution and the people who sacrificed so much for the founding of our freedoms and Liberty. This just made me more upset. At one point I turned to my wife and said "realistically what have any of us sacrificed for our freedoms?" I served in the military leaving on the day I turned 18 for Fort Knox Ky. I spent several tours overseas but I came home and eventually went on with my life.
Over the next hour an idea formed in my head. Ill start a caravan to go to Washington D.C. and make a stand for our freedoms. I figured I could get a semi and paint a great log on the side N.A.R. (Next American Revolution) P.F.A. (Patriots for America) V.F.L. (Vets for Liberty) something like that. A great eagle and the American flag on the side. I also follow a large number of channels on youtube and figure I could contact all of them and ask them to spread the word. Maybe we could get a million people to go. This idea was to go peacefully and make a stand but be prepared to surround the White House and capital facing outward to protect our freedoms and liberty. Watching the stories of those men and woman who sacrificed all for my freedom I felt ashamed. I said nothing to my wife but thought I will sleep and pray on it and take another look at it in the morning.
We went to bed early considering that the previous night I got about 3 hours of sleep I felt exhausted. As I lay in bed I had a long conversation with God.
I thought of Paul, Moses, David and all the prophets and stories in the Bible. I ended with a simple but direct question "God what should I do, I prayed for direction and understanding" I quickly fell asleep.
At around 3 the dogs started barking and it woke me up. I got up to check out the homestead but found nothing. (We have 2 Anatolians, Shrek and Fiona and well Shrek is a giant he is 185lbs but he is the sweetest dog and Fiona is smarter then most people) Coming back inside I got a drink of water and went to the bathroom. As I climbed into bed I thought well? And suddenly thoughts filled my mind "what are you going to fight for". I realized I felt calm and relaxed in my soul and as a flood of thoughts filled my mind I knew I had my answer.
What are you going to fight for? What is worth dyeing for?
I know, there is nothing in Washington D.C. worth fighting for. What would we be fighting to save. I dare you to answer the question what part of our government is still God fearing? What in our government is based on the freedoms and principles that the founding fathers established. They took prayer out of school, our schools teach the values of socialism and Marxism. They have murdered 30 million babies. They vilify all that I hold dear. Me the guy that volunteered for the Army at 18, for over 150 years every male in my family history has fought for this country. I felt proud upholding the tradition, My grandfather fought in the pacific on Guadalcanal, my father served in Vietnam and died of cancer when he was 32 (agent orange) when he died the doctor said his body was riddled with cancer.
Please anyone tell me what are we trying to save.
John McConnel lol I guarantee you witin a year at most some shooting will happen and this dirt bag politician will agree to an assault gun ban. These people have traded the soul of this country one step at a time for the past 50 years. We have been slowly walked into the abyss. Babylon hell we are Babylon, can someone tell me why we have soldiers in 87 countries, just one Mali, and anyone plz tell me why are Americans in Mali, Syria, Iraq and a thousand other hellholes. Why are we worried about the safety of people that are slaughtering Christians all over the world.
GOD ANSWERED MY QUESTION! He asked me the a question, What is worth fighting for?
I have found my peace, I now know that there will come a time to make a stand but that stand is not to keep this abomination we call a government in power. Everything we are seeing is evil it is nothing but a power play on both sides. Choose the lessor of two evils, NO for me and my own we follow the Lord, he will direct us when the time comes.
When one of these politicians stands up for God then I can stand with them but until then I will wait. God will send us a leader He always does! I will wait for the call when its right we will all know it.
The peace that surpasses all understanding came to my last night, my turmoil was of my own creation. Pick a side! no because none of them are on God side.
My apologies for the long winded nature of this post. I pray all of you find that peace that came to me last night. For now I lol will stack food to the rafters and make our farm better and our relationship with God stronger.
PS: Our stomp bag arrived this week!!! one more peace of the plan is in place.
God Bless

Respectfully I will ask; Do you think Trump was not sent to us by God? From my vantage point, Trump, though far from perfect, has done a great deal to try to put our nation on the path Back to God. Whether Trump has a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is not for me to judge, but as an American Patriot I feel I need to support the man.
Nor do I judge you for deciding to wait. God calls each of us for His Specific purpose at His specific time. But if our Satan Serving present leadership Bozos do come for my guns, they can have them-BULLETS FIRST AT 2300 FEET PER SECOND!
Let’s all remember Gods will will be done. Bad things have to happen for the greatest comeback known to man to happen!! Our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC is more than worth fighting for. CHRISTIANITY is worth fighting for. OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS ARE MORE THAN WORTH FIGHTING FOR!! But it takes the majority of us to make this happen not just a select few. WE THE PEOPLE!!
Everything you are saying was how I was feeling for two days. As a patriot I felt it is our duty to stand up and or lay down my life for freedom. BUT I live in Escambia county Florida 56% voted for trump yet a ballot imitative passed called the Escambia county trust for children which uses tax dollars to provide guidance counselors and programs for kids. This program will not be watched over by anyone except the non elected trusties and guest were the money came for the huge campaign to get this passed? hm oh the open society George Soros. So my taxes are going up to pay for people to brainwash our kids.
Again I feel for you but Trump and and moreso the republican party is not going to give back our God given rights.
So we will not be fighting for Christianity we will be fighting for the republicans to stay in power so look at these so called republicans and answer the question do you trust them.
Yes Trump is great and I support him but the FDA, EPA, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, IRA, Education Department are not going to go away. Do not forget we had a Republican President, Senate and House and nothing NOTHING got done. So would I fight for our republic yes but that republic died a long time ago. lol Chief
Justice Roberts is a republican, Jeff Sessions was a republican I can go on and on and they all sold us down the river. Come on ask yourself one question was obamacare constitutional, hell know a first year law student could answer that. There is no way the government has the right to demand we buy any product, yet Roberts sided with the liberals and we got screwed. oh yea Bush was a republican. Was the Iraq war constitutional hm I dont remeber a declaration of war do you? yet we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We have been on a long slide to destruction, lets face it the Republic died when the Federal Reserve came into existence. OH I bet every patriot sent back their stimulus checks.
Do you want an American revolution or a French revolution atm the moment its like there are two revolutions in the making a communist one and a French one. I support neither.
Shoot them all and let God sort them out is the surest way to hell.
I stood up and did my work I stood my watch.
If you want to see Gods hand in war I suggest you read The Miracle at Midway. I've seen Gods hand at work and I trust it and if I need to lay down my life for God and country I am ready to. But I will not lay down my life in vain to hand my grandchildren a country were compassion for Islam is more important then the lives of Christians. Nor for transgender bathrooms.
The fight should have happened with income taxes and federal reserve or when the senators became elected. There is a host of things that should have triggered a revolution long again. I revolution to restore things to how they were last week sorry not for me.
All of this is mute 30 trillion dollars in debt, social security, medicare, welfare, food stamps, medicade I can go on and on, all of this is against the founders wishes. Heck there never should have been the first civil war. THESE UNITED STATES became THE UNITED STATES. Lincoln has a great spot in hell. you want to see bloodshed wait till Americans go against each other none of us give up it there will be enough blood to go around. I pray Trump stays president but if he does it wont change Oregon or California or Chicago or New York they will still exist and be liberal hellholes electing Schumer's and Pelosie's. And as the sane people leave they will change other states just like they did to Arizona and Colorado. Its a disease and its terminal unless you cut it and return America to individual responsibility and everyone EVERYONE stops drinking at the governments trough of borrowed money that lays on the shoulders of our kids.
I hear you a 100% I don’t want this for my kids or their kids and so on. I’m sorry for what you are having to go through with the Indoctrination education. My wife and I have been blessed to keep our kids out of schools and home school. All I’m saying is Keep the Faith and Trust in God. He won’t fail us no matter what!! GodBles.
evil must happen for the Lord to return is the only peace i am getting out of this
and we've just whole sale started to go down that evil path i will not stand by and allow evil upon my family, friends or neighbors but the Lords will will be done...
INDEED
Very well spoken and I agree wholeheartedly. Thank you for standing on that line. I appreciate your service. With that said, seriously what the hell is left to fight for? What was all the previous war fought for? The only thing I can think of is men strive to be lead! We look for causes to join just to have a sense of self worth. We must end this continuous journey that is wasting generation after generation. How many laps around the mountain do we have to take before Father allows us access to the promised land? We never learn from our mistakes. War after war, one generation follows the previous. All governments, as well as history itself, are built and written by the winners! News flash, its all lies to keep us on the journey around the mountain when the land of milk and honey is within our sight! I hate the desert and the sand and the walking! I want off this merry-go-round. How do we get off this ride? I have not a clue! The few things I do know that I have begun in my life are:
Look for Father God in everything every day!
See the need and fill the damn need!
I hereby do not consent to anything and I will not comply. I am a man!
I will not be looked down on, lied about or laid a hand upon! I shall not do these things to others and I demand the same! I do Not look to be lead or to be a leader. I shall fill the need when it needs filling and I take full responsibility for my actions holding no one else accountable.
the enemy owns all the kingdoms of earth. if he did not the savor would have rebuked his temptations when he offered them to him.
Paul didn't seem to think so he though all gov'ts were appointed by God(i disagree with Paul)...
I'm with you Brother, 💯%!
