And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

I was once terrified, then I found Jesus. Now spiritual wickedness in high places doesn't scare me at all.

[@starangwonder2594]

The only thing that frightens me is what I'm going to do to those cocksucking traitors when I decide it is time. I hope Jesus forgives me for that.

They want us angry and scared, and we can't give in to their evil.

[@TuhljinTampergauge]

Channel negative emotion into positive action. Don't bury it and tell yourself God will fix it; the Bible doesn't tell you not to act.

[@sidsnyder8043]

@@starangwonder2594 I think they want to destroy the whole system, that way they can declare a state of emergency, spend trillions more, take away all freedoms, and usher in a new CBDC to replace the current banking system. Thye will have total control at that point.

Thank you for speaking up. Stress related health issues are out of control and people feel when they're being watched and monitored. I've noticed strange little happenings around some comments I've made here on the tube. Ominous times.

Yes Sen Paul is correct in exposing the tyranny around us. In reality, human rulers are stepping up their fight against the Creator and his King. It is ugly but expected - no reason to fear or be anxious. Acts 4.25-26

Rand Paul the next President for beautiful America!

THIS is the kind of thing that politicians should be talking about and working together on

Some say "if you have nothing to hide then why worry". I say if your government turns on the people you have a whole lot to hide!

[@philliphsieh83]

I support and will obey Rand Paul and The U.S. Government!

OBEY ????

Really?

[@no_country_for_real_men]

If you voluntarily want to worship and obey the government than you are part of the problem. Cut back on the soy and get your estrogen levels checked

[@danrieke9988]

What a good man he is. Outnumbered, out-founded, out-gunned, he yet continues the pure purpose of honest in government. Such a good man. I would vote for him above all others running.
