Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. ~ Isaiah 41:10
Sundance, Conservative Treehouse: You are NOT Alone: It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong and push back against the lies and manipulations. If you look closely at the attack, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. Do not fall into the trap of despair. When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee. Do not allow this effort to succeed. You might ask yourself how I can, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad. Simple answer, it’s your choice. Two wolves fight – one filled with despondency, isolation, despair and dark imaginings; the other filled with faith, something bigger, unrelenting hope, focus and driven to remain connected. Which wolf will win? The one you feed. The feeling of isolation begins first with a rejection of God… If you want to shake it, reconnect.
Shake it off. “Get up, get back on your feet, you are the one they can’t beat, and you know it.”

DGH: MAGA came, MAGA saw, they-them cried as in: “This was a coup and if I didn’t fire Comey, I probably wouldn’t have made it – it was like throwing a rock at a hornet’s nest, they went crazy in the FBI – “They didn’t care about Comey, they were all fighting for the job. They didn’t care about him at that point. They just wanted to take care of themselves – These are bad people, these are sick people.” ~ Donald J. Trump May 16, 2023
********************
Sundance: The point? It ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly. And here we are… divided by a network of seemingly intoxicating systems; many purposefully driven by the modern dynamic of social media, steering a tribal outcome we are only now just beginning to fathom. Ultimately the collective weight of progressive leftism is putting us in isolation. There are many historic references to this disconcerting sentiment to review with hindsight. However, ultimately the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God.
********************
DGH: May Truth, Strength and Justice be your standard bearer as you sortie forth into the battle, Sundance. May the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ hold you in the palm of His hand and protect you. Not alone within the grand scheme of things. In His mighty name!

Sundance: Defeat it by embracing Him. In/around July 2020 it was obvious in my travels we were on the precipice of a disconnect from human interaction that would numb our psyche to what ultimately matters, fellowship. Not only are various governmental agencies forcing the separation of people from their community networks, we were also seeing faith-based organizations, churches, buying into the fear. Even in areas where churches were not forcibly shut down, we saw a structural shift where some faith leaders were willingly ostracizing their community under the guise of various medical, social and cultural alarms.
********************
DGH: To which yours truly responds: We live in a messy and messed up world and it will remain that way till the return of Christ. Paul spoke of living “in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation.” But he spoke of a future hope, of that day when “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
********************
********************
Sundance: This is not good…. not good at all. Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. How and why we interact with each-other is how and why we recharge our core humanity. To see faith leaders willing to separate from the function of fellowship was alarming. However, as individuals we must not allow this foreboding sense to become the normal expectation. Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again. Throughout history large armies have been defeated through the process of division. It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies including congregations.
********************
DGH: And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; ~ ISAIAH 11:1-2
********************
Sundance: It is puzzling how many in leadership cannot see the danger in social and spiritual distance when the bond of fellowship is needed more than ever. Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul. The influence of social media is already troublesome, physically distancing from human engagement only worsens the impact. There is no digital replacement for the true fellowship of humanity on a personal level. Ultimately it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives. We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment… Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.
********************
DGH: The fear pumps have been running at 110% at least since 2016. Acknowledge them as what they are: pumped fear, artificially created for your consumption. They signal desperation on the part of the people who imagine they control the levers of power, when in fact we control those levers. My small piece of individual liberty, which surrounds me everywhere I go, is mine; MINE. No one can take it from me, certainly not these fools, without my consent. Yours truly runs continually through the “does not consent” army at will. Join me with THAT!
********************
Sundance: With local, state and federal leaders moving increasingly toward self-interest; with disconnected workplaces creating social distance; with faith-based leaders unfocused on the value of fellowship; and now government entering your home to tell you the importance of separating yourself from your family we must dispatch these arbitrary decrees very deliberately. Perhaps we are in this position today because we didn’t sit still enough and contemplate the real priorities in our lives. Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. I will not divide my humanity, nor concede my core view of fellowship, simply to comply with the demand of another that I consider my brother or sister of greater or less value than myself. Any system that seeks to steer my path will not benefit from my participation. I choose freedom!
My freedom choice * Our Liberty is inherent * Our freedom is inherent * The removal of both requires consent * I choose not to disconnect * I choose purpose * I choose my own humanity * I believe in a generous loving God * My faith stands * Whatever it takes * I’m going back into the battle, refreshed, renewed, rearmed and restored * No weapon formed against us will prosper! Love to all ~ Sundance!
********************
DGH: Following the above “fear pumps” running at 110%, remember to keep the big picture in mind always, but make your life as simple as possible. Keep your relationship with the Creator 1st, family second, good friends next and so on. Trust but verify (as best you can). Manage your fears/concerns and live a good quiet life. All in the name of Jesus, who is worthy above all! Not alone within the grand scheme of things.
