A Healing Prayer for America

Our Father in Heaven, have mercy upon these United States of America. Blot out our transgressions, cleanse us of our sins. We acknowledge our transgressions, our many sins against You: We have allowed our God-given liberties to be taken away by our politicians and leaders. We have allowed Your Word and commandments to be banned from our public squares. We have allowed prayer to be eliminated from our schools. We have allowed Your place in our nation’s history to be erased from our textbooks and our minds. We have allowed the epidemics of abortion, pornography, and sexual immorality of all types to fester out of control. We have allowed perversion, decadence, and depravity of all sorts to become public, commonplace, and even celebrated.

As a nation, we have replaced the authority and perfection of Your Word and Your Law with the whim of our own opinions for our standards of right and wrong. We no longer keep Your commandments, or follow Your teachings.

We confess these and all our sins to You and ask forgiveness for ourselves and our nation. We acknowledge that we are unworthy of forgiveness on our own merits, therefore we put our trust in Messiah for our forgiveness.

Father, we realize that admitting our sins and asking for forgiveness must also be accompanied by true repentance – actually turning away from our sins, our Lawlessness, and turning towards You and Your Law. We ask that you write your commandments upon our hearts, and enable us, broken as we are, to follow them. Forgive us when we stumble, and help us to our feet once again, so that we can walk in Your ways.

Father, we confess Your authority over every aspect of our lives and our nation. Help us to follow You once again. Restore Your mercy and blessings to these United States of America, and re-establish a hedge of protection around us. In Yeshua's name we ask these things, Amen.

Question Authority - Don't Blindly Trust Experts

By Tim Gamble (originally published in 2022 on www.TimGamble.com )

A few days ago, I posted a quote from Winston Churchill on the dangers of rule by "experts" (also known as technocracy, or rule by technocrats). I want to take a look at closer look at the problem of experts and why we shouldn't turn over control of our government, economy, and lives to them.

First, a reminder of the quote:


"Nothing would be more fatal than for the government of states to get into the hands of experts. Expert knowledge is limited knowledge: and the unlimited ignorance of the plain man who knows only what hurts is a safer guide, than any vigorous direction of a specialised character. Why should you assume that all except doctors, engineers, etc. are drone or worse?" -- Winston Churchill, in a letter to H. G. Welles


Letting experts run things might sound like a good idea to many people. After all, they are the experts - highly educated and knowledgeable, and above petty influences like money, politics, ideology, or personal gain. Their ways, such as the scientific method, peer review, and tenure, are designed to remove bias, guarantee neutrality, and achieve the best results. We are told throughout our lives that we should admire and respect experts. We can trust them to make the best decisions possible.

Or can we? Here are a few things to keep in mind about the experts.

Experts may be highly educated and knowledgeable in their particular field, but that doesn't carry over to other fields. Their knowledge is often "a mile deep but an inch wide."

Experts naturally focus on their specialty, which limits their understanding of the larger situation. They often fail to "see the big picture" and "miss the forest for the trees." They don't consider or even realize all the potential ramifications and unintended consequences of their solutions.

Experts rarely make good leaders, because leadership requires an understanding of the larger situation, of how all the pieces need to fit together. A leader has to be able to see the forest, not just the trees. In this sense, expertise (detailed knowledge) and leadership (big picture) are polar opposites.

Experts are humans, same as anyone else. Experts can make mistakes, same as all of us. Experts can be biased by their personal beliefs, values, and even fears, same as the rest of us. Experts may allow their personal motivations, such as career aspirations or even petty office politics, to influence their work. Experts are not immune to peer pressure, or to pressure from their bosses or funding sources. Experts are not above being influenced by money, politics, or ideology.

Winston Churchill was trying to explain all of this to H. G. Welles. Churchill's point was that the very thing that makes experts so useful - their expert knowledge - also limits them in a way that requires the commonsense and practicality of the plain man. A government of experts would be fatal, in Churchill's opinion.

Sadly, the modern system doesn't value commonsense and practicality in the same way it values expertise. Instead, we put experts on a pedestal, declare them unquestionable, and deny or make excuses when reality proves their theories wrong. We are told to "not question the science" and to obediently follow the dictates of the scientists.

Encouraged by both Socrates and Timothy Leary, the idea of "questioning authority" was once considered a value. Now doing so may get you banned from social media, fired from your job, and even investigated by the FBI as a potential domestic terrorist (just ask any number of parents who dared question the policies of the experts on their school boards). Dissent is NOT allowed in 2022.

We are lurching ever closer to the scientific dictatorship of technocracy. We are losing our freedoms and surrendering ownership of our lives in the name of the Common Good, without ever being allowed to question if it is really good or not.

Preparedness - More Important Than You Think
By Tim Gamble ( www.DystopianSurvival.com )

At its heart, preparedness is about self-reliance - the ability to depend on ourselves in an emergency, rather than being helpless and totally dependent on government agencies or other outside forces to save us. Being ready for an emergency, be it anything from a natural disaster to an unexpected job loss, is important. But the importance of preparedness goes way beyond that. Preparedness is about saving our families, our country, our freedoms, and our way of life. It is about saving civilization itself. Consider this:

The more self-reliant we are as individuals, families, and communities, the less need we will have for government, and the less power the Elites will have over our lives. This fact is is obvious to the Elites, which is why they have focused so much effort on attacking the concept of self-reliance, labeling it as too hard, unrealistic, unfair, and selfish, among other things. The Elites want us as dependent on government, and therefore on them, as possible. It is about control.

This desire to control the people through dependence is why the Elites have dumbed-down our educational system, attacked Biblical standards, destroyed the traditional family, destroyed the concept of gender, pushed the concept of group victimhood, and promoted the welfare state. It is why they push to instill fear in people over Covid-19, climate change, and other issues. And it is why the survivalist mindset is so important.

Survivalism and preparedness isn't about heading for the hills, hiding from world. Instead, being prepared and able to survive without "their" help is about developing self-reliance as individuals, families and communities, so that we don't need government or the Elites.

Not needing government takes away most of the power and influence of both elected politicians and unelected bureaucrats, as well as the leaders, lawyers, and lobbyists of the corporate world.

Preparedness is important for our own safety. Bit preparedness is also fundamental to our ability to resist the global Elites seeking to control us and to take away our freedoms, our country, and our very way of life. Be proud to be a prepper. You are helping to save the world.
