“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.” – 1 Peter 4:12-13
The FBI is investigating possible “targeted violence against religious groups” in Seattle after leftists crashed two Christian events over the past week and dozens of people were arrested, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Wednesday, 5/28/2025.
I never would have thought I would be alive to see evil attack my brothers and sisters in Christ on this magnitude. I believe in the end times but I always thought they were further away than the seems to have become. And in what used to be a beautiful city, Seattle. But apparently, its time to wake up and accept those times may very well be on us now.
So basically, this Church group signed up to legally protest with prayer and song in a local Seattle park their grievance with Government allowing the mutilation of children in the name or transgender transition.
Well apparently someone didn’t like that and crashed their protest with violence and hate. Urine filled balloons were thrown at them and its my understanding some were even physically assaulted.
You know what they did in retaliation? They prayed for these people, They rose up in praise and prayer and forgave these people. This is exactly what Jesus did when the guards came to arrest him.
I wasn’t there and there seems to be very little to no video of the clash, but witnesses all say the Followers of Christ acted the way Jesus would have commanded. They broke out in Prayer while the enemy broke out in rage! I would bet there was some serious movement of the Holy Spirit in that and if there were cameras I bet we would have seen the gifts of God revealed.
5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. – Matthew 24:5-15 NIV
I believe the birth pains are upon us. Look around, There have been several major earthquakes around the world in recent months. Look at the persecution of the Jewish nation and pure hate for the Jewish people even here in the United States, And that even our own government is doing very little to stop it or punish those who are persecuting!
I don’t think We as a nation have ever been closer to going to war against Iran, That ticket is being punched right now. Added to that is the Ukraine/Russia war which appears to be worsening with Putin refusing to negotiate terms of peace. And let’s not forget our Tariff war with China and our economy on the verge of breaking.
And now the Christian people are attacked in their own country by opposition forces hell bent on our destruction! We are in the beginning of some dark times to come.
My prayer is for all the believers in Christ to unite in Prayer and agreement, I pray the Holy Spirt flows out to everyone who needs it. I pray that fear is rebuked and cast out and our people are led by Love and Protected by our Savior!
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.Psalms 23:4 NIV
I pray we ALL put on the whole armor of God daily and study up on scripture and focus deep in prayer. I pray God fill us with Trust and we remain faithful no matter what darkness comes. Don’t let us speak without encouragement from our lord! Don’t let us prophesize without the knowledge that comes from The Holy Spirit and the Bible! Let us constantly pray for each other and pray that what we do we do to glorify our God!
I never thought I’d be alive to see the beginning. But here we are, Here I am and here it goes … Stay strong and in the Lord!
