True, there are conspiracies, but what God does have something to say
about conspiracies:Isaiah 8:11-17
The Lord spoke to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to
follow the way of this people. He Said: "Do not call conspiracy
everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they
fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to
regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to
dread, and he will be a sanctuary; a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem, he
will be a trap and snare. Many of them will stumble; they will fall and
broken, they will snared and captured". Bind up the testimony and seal
up the law among my disciples. I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding
his face from the house of Jacob. I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM.So you see, it doesn't matter if there are conspiracies going on in the
World. The Lord is in control of all things and being outside of time,
He already knows the end from the beginning. He has created each one of
us to play our parts in the Grand Tapestry of Creation. We are
demonstrating God's Great Love and Character to heavenly beings outside
of our awareness.Ephesians 3:10-11
His intent is that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God
should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly
realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ
Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God
with freedom and confidence.So as usual, God is constantly telling us Fear not, do not be afraid or
discouraged. No matter if the mountains melt like wax and fall into the
sea. If our heart is trusting in Jesus, our hearts should never fail us
because of fear. What is the worst thing that can happen? We die for
our witness in Christ, earning a martyrs crown? We are all going to die
sooner or later. Persecution could come to the Church? Perscution
always makes the Church grow, consider our brothers and sisters in China.And having said that, truth matters. 30 of my coworkers were taking a
class in the room right NEXT to the exact place where the plane crashed
into the Pentagon. They are eyewitnesses of the event. I have read the
testimony of where 1 of those men became a Christian because through the
smoke and darkness he heard someone tell him to "Follow the Light". He
had been very resistant to the gospel before but believing relatives had
been talking to him and over the next few months after the plane crashed
into the pentagon, he became a believer (according to an article I had
read which corresponded to different statements from the 30 coworkers
who were there).You know we have eyewitness accounts of the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. From people that were there, saw what happened and were changed
by it. There are still people who claim the resurrection was a
conspiracy, that Jesus body was taken away by his followers while the
guards slept. I tend to go with the eyewitnesses that were actually
present at the event. If you experienced the event, you would have a
whole lot better idea what was true about the event than hearing it
several times removed. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.PepperPot
