"A man was trapped in his house during a flood. He began praying to God to rescue him. He had a vision in his head of God’s hand reaching down from heaven and lifting him to safety. The water started to rise in his house. His neighbor urged him to leave and offered him a ride to safety. The man yelled back, “I am waiting for God to save me.” The neighbor then drove off in his pick-up truck.
The man continued to pray and hold on to his vision. As the water began rising in his house, he had to climb up to the roof. A boat came by with some people heading for safe ground. They yelled at the man to grab a rope they were ready to throw and take him to safety. He told them that he was waiting for God to save him. They shook their heads and moved on.
The man continued to pray, believing with all his heart that he would be saved by God. The floodwaters continued to rise. A helicopter flew by and a voice came over a loudspeaker offering to lower a ladder and take him off the roof. The man waved the helicopter away, shouting back that he was waiting for God to save him. The helicopter left. The flooding water came over the roof and caught him up and swept him away. He drowned.
When he reached heaven and asked, “God, why did you not save me? I believed in you with all my heart. Why did you let me drown?” God replied, “I sent you a pick-up truck, a boat, and a helicopter and you refused all of them. What else could I possibly do for you?”
I heard “God helps those who help themselves”
Was originally a quote from Aesop. The saying originally came from a Greek fable about a man praying to Hercules for strength getting his cart's wheel unstuck from a puddle. Hercules appears in the puddle and tells the man to put his shoulder to the wheel and the moral was "gods help those who help themselves."
Either way it’s definitely not a Biblical concept.
We are all accountable for our own actions true, but God favors those who obey His will and law. That is a form of helping oneself, for those wise enough to follow the narrow path. Just because I help myself to something doesn’t necessitate God’s approval.
Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Romans 2:13 (NKJV) (for not the hearers of the law [are] just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
Your comment is so sad. And exactly why our country will (probably) fall. For me it will be a time of great joy though. The persecution and hard times will bring a great revival and refine the wayward Church. All this will be far greater than if it had not. What wonderful joy is to come!
They’re rigged. Store food, water, and start assembling some sort of armament. Idgaf if it’s nail laced bats. It’s a fucking start.
Because I watched as you all were pushed around by faggot ass pussy military fags last time that weren’t even armed…lol Do you need an invitation or what? Cave their heads in.
Oh, I've worried and prayed for the people of Australia since this shit show began. I'm so sorry this crimes against humanity has happened to your Country... I'm praying for you ALL and the people of the World...We're in trouble...America loves you all, ( the People of America, not our Government) May God Bless you all.🙏✝️
I dream of flying into Australia air dropping firearms... seriously. As a young dude from 80's at least from the narrative I got from MSM all I could think of the people from Australia is big hearted happy STRONG people but just don't fuck with them and their country. Then I seen the war machine crush their spirit. Then yesterday on the way home heard Men at Work on the radio and I got chills again thinking of the people rising up and killing their commie dictators... I do pray for you man, just praying that what ever sets you all off and brings you together results in the absolute destruction of your overlords.
Psalms 91:1-16 (NKJV) 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, “[He is] my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler [And] from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth [shall be your] shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, [Nor] of the arrow [that] flies by day, 6 [Nor] of the pestilence [that] walks in darkness, [Nor] of the destruction [that] lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; [But] it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the LORD, [who is] my refuge, [Even] the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In [their ]hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
God be with you fren.
Psalms 34:7 (KJV) The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
You don't need prayer
You need guns
This. God helps those who help themselves.
That's from Poor Richard's Almanac. God helps those who pray. That's from the Bible.

And the will to use them when necessary.
No reason you can't have both.
Brother, I've got both

Prayer won't stop the demons. Prayer will help you figure out that you have to fight back.
You'll be in my prayers.
Not even God can fix that country...
You're fucked
