We generally assume that the world is becoming a better place every year. But when it comes to individual freedoms, the opposite is true. Most studies show humanity is now less free than several years ago.
20 years ago we had decentralized Internet and a relatively unrestricted banking system. Today, Apple and Google censor information and apps on our phones while Visa and Mastercard limit what goods and services we can pay for. Every year we give up more power and control over our lives to a handful of unaccountable corporate executives we didn't elect.
Most of us willingly carry tracking devices – our phones – and allow corporations to use our private data to target us with content that keeps us distracted with low-quality entertainment. Unlike 20 years ago, we are now surrounded by surveillance cameras, which in countries like China use AI to make sure nobody can hide.
In 2017, China overtook the US as the largest economy in the world by purchasing power, showing the world that individual freedoms are not required for economic development. Looking at China's success, more countries become authoritarian, curbing essential human rights such as freedom of speech, movement and assembly.
Who is going to fix it?
The most active and creative minds of our generation are too busy playing in the rapidly shrinking sandbox called "free enterprise" or producing digital content to keep everyone else glued to their devices for longer. The rest seem to be too distracted with the abundance of cheap digital entertainment to critically assess the trend and take action.
Watching this, I wonder what will become the legacy of our generation. Will we go down in history as those who let free societies turn into dystopian nightmares? Or will we be remembered as those who defended the freedoms that previous generations fought so hard to win?

Proverbs 1:1-33 (NKJV)
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
2 To know wisdom and instruction, To perceive the words of understanding,
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, judgment, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion-–
5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother;
9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
11 If they say, "Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, We shall fill our houses with spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse"-–
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path;
16 For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely, in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.
20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.
21 She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words:
22 "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.
23 Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."

I have posted a lot of news items on my channel in the past few years mixed with the spiritual. I have been a digital soldier for a while and I pray I bring a spiritual perspective to the spiritual war we are in currently. It is not for the faint of heart.
I have turned my attention to mostly all spiritual posts because the war is intensifying. I know from personal experience by how I am being attacked right now by the fiery darts of the enemy as well as those being attacked who are close to me.
Don’t unfollow me if you don’t like the spiritual stuff I share. Hopefully one day, I will bring you something that hits you in the heart.
God loves you and ultimately wants a relationship with you. You can have that relationship through His Son, Jesus Christ, by trusting Him as your Lord and Savior. “Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” This could be the day! If you made that decision today, send me a dm so I can pray for you. @cjtruth

Some of you have messaged me and told me you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Glory to God! Welcome to the family of God!
For those who want to make that decision today you can do that by saying this prayer. This is not a “magical” prayer but this is your heart to God. Here it is:
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God came to earth to be the Savior of the world, and that by His death on he cross, He paid the price for the sin of the world, so that whosoever believes on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.
Thank You for Jesus and thank You for my free gift of salvation. Thank You that by believing on His name, I am forgiven of my sins and and brought into sweet fellowship with my heavenly Father.
Thank You, Lord, for sending Your Son to die on Calvary's cross in my place. Thank You that His innocent life was sufficient to pay the full price for my sin, and the sin of the world.
Lord, I turn from all my prideful sins and from everything that is dishonoring to Your name, and pray that I would grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus, until I come to a spiritual maturity, as day by day the Holy Spirit seeks to transform my lowly body into the likeness of Jesus.
Thank You, Father, for Your wonderful gift of salvation and thank You that by believing I am now Your child. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

If you have prayed that prayer then welcome to the family of God! The angels are rejoicing on the decision you made! You want to solidify your decision because the enemy wants to put doubt in the decision you made or when trouble comes you go away from it. I want your seed to be in solid ground.
After you have prayed that prayer of salvation you will want to take that next step and grow your relationship with God. This is a good place to start. This is how you form a deep relationship with God that can help you on your new journey with God. It has to be established on the Word of God, the Bible. Start in the book of John if you don’t know where to start. If you don’t have a Bible, you can download one here. The You Version Bible App has a permanent spot on my home screen. Read, watch, listen, and share…all in a free app: http://bible.com/app

The panic is REAL
The White House and Speaker Pelosi are trying to suggest it was Republicans that wanted to defund the police?
When you have to lie this much, you know you are in huge trouble.

The true “red pill” is the blood of Jesus.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
