Hey, hey, hey, welcome back to the Faith Frame Perspective with me, your host, Kimberly Blakes. We're going to call this season two, episode one. And I'm going to say that the title of this is Discerning the Times Without Losing Your Peace. Because right now we are in a war. And I'm not even talking about literally, I'm talking about we are in a war for our peace of mind, for our sanity. Just listening to the way people talk, just listening to the way people are towards other people, towards our fellow men. It is disheartening to see so much hatred and division. Something in our atmosphere is shifting, and it's not just the events. Everything has become so intense. And I know you guys know that I'm on Facebook, I'm on social media, and I do Facebook every day. And if you want to follow me, you can find me. I'm Kimberly Blakes, and it's the page with the blue check. I don't have any other pages. And you can follow me there. But if you've noticed, my comments can be very intense. They can be very full of hate. I've been doxed, I've been threatened, and everything else, just simply for giving my opinion. You guys, a lot of you guys that were born in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and even 80s, knew that there used to be a time that you could have a difference of opinion and people did not want to take your life. I think we have passed that stage. Everything is so polarized now. And it's because people feel like if you don't think like them, that you hate them. And that is just not the truth. That is just not the truth. I have a lot of family, all of my family, as a matter of fact, are Democrats. They all are. They all are left-leaning Democrats, and they do not like the stuff I say. I just had an aunt of mine send a whole article about um Christians that support President Trump. And it was a very vile thing. And this is something that my aunt sent to me just a few days ago. I didn't read it. I I opened it and I listened to the first couple of words or whatever it was, and it was so vulgar, I just I just erased it. I I don't I've decided at this point in my life, I don't have to be tolerated by anyone. I want to go where I'm celebrated. I want to go where I am loved. I I've come to the realization that just because you have my skin, or just because you are my kin, it does not mean I have to tolerate abuse. It does not mean that I have to tolerate hatred. It doesn't mean I have to tolerate any of that because I absolutely do not. This trend has become so disturbing of people on whatever side, if you don't agree with them, it is such a level of hatred and violence. I've just never seen anything like it in my life. And I tell you guys, it it disturbs me a little bit. I almost feel like I have um my spirit is a little too delicate, almost. I I feel things deeply. And so it bothers me when I can't just express an opinion without being called a slur or being threatened or someone putting my street address out there just because I express an opinion. I don't agree with a lot of stuff, but I have decided that instead of, you know, treating the person harshly, that I'll just, you know, keep on scrolling or I'll just act like I didn't hear it. I don't have to come into agreement with it, but I definitely don't have to threaten the person, right? So I feel like as humans, we need to be a little kinder. And I I want to talk about this because I just saw on my social media some black ice agents, right? So these are ice agents that were employed by ICE. This is a job. They have there they get paid, and they're employed by ICE to do a job. Now, ICE has been around, I've said this before, for a long time. They came about right after 9-11. They are to do a job, they are to keep us safe here in the United States. Never had a problem before. We've had ICE agents for years, but now all of a sudden, because we have a president that has been villainized and have been has been made to look like he's less than human, like he's a demon, by the mainstream media and by the leftist politicians that people have come on board and they have swallowed the whole the whole plot without even thinking. Before this man ran for president, everybody loved him. He was on a reality show, he was on everybody's talk show, he was in more than a thousand raps. Now all of a sudden, he has been demonized. And they are sticking to that. Even if I say to someone, hey, think about him before he ran for president. How did you feel then? People will even lie about that. They'll say, I never liked him. And that is not even the truth. We have gotten to such a place that our politics have become our God. And it is a slap in the face to the Father. He is our God. He is one God. He's the only God that is supposed to sit on the throne of your heart and your life, not your politics. Now, I understand that politics are going to be a front. They are going to be one of the battlefields in this end-time battle. We can't do a single thing about that. This is why when Christians come to me and say things like, Christians are not supposed to be in politics, it tells me that they're wholly ignorant and unlearned. Because if they don't understand that even if they don't think God is into politics, Satan is into politics and God is into governance. And if you look at the entire book of Kings, it was all about taking up leaders, putting up a leader, and taking another one down. It was taking land, it was ruling and conquering and everything else. All of that was political stuff. Just because it didn't have the same verbiage, it does not mean it's a different thing. God has always had his hand in who was ruling a nation. Why is that? Because legislation is being passed. Laws, wicked laws are being passed through politics. How come this is a little known fact? And it the reason it is, is because a lot of people that are standing in the pulpit have not authentically encountered Jesus. And I know that's hard to hear, but I am daring to say about 90% of these people that have titles have not encountered Jesus because they cannot discern the times. And even with looking at everything that's going on, they still have decided I'm gonna take the side of my politics and I'm gonna make my religion match my politics. When it should be that you make your it should be that you make your politics match your religion. If I was a Christian, now I am a Christian, I am an authentic Christian, but if I was someone out here in the world and I was a Christian, I would have to say, okay, I don't understand what this says in the Bible, but I'm gonna agree with it because I know that God is wiser than me and He is my father. So because of that, I cannot align myself with a political party that diametrically opposes the father, that diametrically opposes everything that I stand for, that stands for killing babies, that stands for every evil and sinful thing. It is not even hard now. It is not even, it's not even deep now. You can just look and see. But instead of doing that, they have decided that they're gonna take scripture and they're gonna twist it so hard to where you don't even recognize it anymore, and they're gonna make an excuse for continuing to thumb their noses at God. I just talked about this the other day. I had a woman um comment under a post, and of course she was a liberal, and she was very angry at me because she felt like I should not say that God chose President Trump. Even though the 2007 prophecy talked about him, even though the 2007 prophecy, long before he got into politics, came out and it said everything that he would do on today, the clearest prophecy I had ever seen. I was under the impression, you guys, that these people had never heard the prophecy. Here I am, as green as a blade of grass, thinking that these people had not heard the prophecy, that maybe they just didn't know it. This woman said, I heard the prophecy, but it was vague. It was not vague. She's prideful. It was not vague. That upset me, and that helped me see that no matter what happens, the clouds could open up and God could literally put something in the sky and say, I chose him. And they would still say, We don't know who he's talking about. That's prideful. That is flesh, that is flesh on display. And I see it every single day. The cruelty. These ice agents, back to the ice agents, the ice agents. We have black ice agents, we have Spanish ICE agents, iCE agents from every background. But because they are working for ICE, they have been abused. I am looking in the comments, and they are being called the most vulgar racist names by liberals, black and white, abusing these people for having a job. This is how far it's come. I honestly think we are on the brink of a possible civil war, and that would not be a horrible thing. I have said for a long time, I have no problem with this nation being divided. I just don't see how we can continue. We have completely separate ideas of righteousness. We have separate ideas of God, we have separate ideas in everything. I have seen so much anti-Semitism in the past week. I don't even know what to do with myself. I just never thought I would see a day that this would be a thing, that this would be so much so that people post on their page openly, while they have jobs and everything, openly, persecute an entire group of people. And what I said in a post was it is wrong to persecute any group of people, whether it be a group of white people, Irish people, Spanish people, Jewish people, you cannot do this. And I just for the longest time did not understand how Hitler did what he did, and now I see the enemy. It is the enemy because it is a spirit behind this that people don't understand. Hate is hate. It doesn't matter how you try to dress it up, it doesn't matter how you try to hide it. This is a slippery slope. This this went from people saying, I don't agree with their leadership, to now they are laughing at Jewish homes being bombed and people dying. I've seen it. It's in my comments. I'm telling you guys, we are seeing wars are escalating, tensions between nations are rising, extreme weather patterns, division everywhere. And I'm telling you, it is so chaotic. It is so unsettling because we hear this. You know, the Bible talks about hey, there are gonna be wars and rumors of wars, but you be at peace. So that is the comfort that I have. This is what Jesus said. I understand, you know, because we have conflicts. These conflicts are happening, but they have to happen because that's how peace is established. I think a lot of people thought that President Trump was gonna get back in office and everything was just gonna be peaches and cream. It wasn't peaches and cream the first time. Anytime God puts a leader up, it is a fight because the kingdom of darkness is going to fight that choice. When the world loves a leader, God didn't choose them. And when God chooses a leader, the world does not like them. And that's what we're seeing now. But see, even though Trump is doing all these great things, he's still being slandered by the mainstream media because they have the ears of the people, because the people do not know the voice of God. If they knew the voice of God, they wouldn't listen to anything the media has to say because they wouldn't know who they're working for. This is why we have to pray. Emotions have grown cold, cruelty, lies, all kinds of things. We're seeing these things every single day, and none of it is random. It is all by design. And so what's happening now is that people are so upset about the gas price, and they're upset about this and upset about that, and they're losing sight about the fact that when Joe Biden was in office, gas got up to about $7 a gallon. And you didn't hear peep. They blame capitalism. They said the president ain't got nothing to do with the prices of gas. But now it's a different story. It has gotten to such a place where people don't care about telling a lie. They don't, they, their, their, their word doesn't mean anything. You know, I am not very old, but I am old enough to where my father said to me when I was a young girl that your word is all you have. And he said that to me. I was probably like 12 years old. And so I've always been a person of my word. If I say I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna keep that word because I have all I have as a person is my integrity. But now someone will say something, and a few years later they'll say something else. Whatever tide, whatever way the wind blows them, they will be blown. They are blown and tossed about because the enemy is leading them around by the ring in their nose. And so we're seeing a lot of that where they didn't see because what what what God's doing is He He's holding up a mirror. He's holding up a mirror because, see, when when Biden was in office and a carton of eggs got to $7, they they were quiet when a package of chicken wings, a family pack of chicken wings, went from $5 to over $20. Nobody said anything. And I was bringing it to their attention because I knew that at some point this is gonna come back around. And now we're seeing it for a good cause to take down a regime that is killing their own citizens. That is a good cause, right? So we are seeing this, and these people are complaining because they have to find something to go against the president about because they have been told to attack him, they don't see him as human. They don't see him as human. This is why they have to come up with every conspiracy. But God is holding up a mirror because when that video, the screen record on Trump's true social, at the end of that voter fraud video, there was a flash of a beginning of another video of two apes, and people went berserk. They were calling for him to step down, they had their think pieces, they had ChatGPT creating all kinds of things for them, and they were going crazy. But this mayor and New York City's wife, they went through this woman's X account, and she has been using the N-word like nothing. She has talked about every race. She is the most anti-Semitic, hateful woman ever, and we've not heard a peep. So we are seeing their hypocrisy firsthand. See, it only goes from left to right. That that that is that is the only that is the only thing. Because people people are not able to to think straight because the enemy has their mind and they're so enraged about things that don't mean anything. I tell you, you guys, you know, like I just said, in Matthew 24, it says they're gonna be wars and rumors of wars. So we are literally seeing all these things happening. We are seeing earthquakes, famine, all of this stuff is called birth pains. But see, the thing about birth pains is that they only increase until the thing that's being birthed comes out. So we are going to see things are gonna get worse. But see, this is where you have to decide that I'm gonna hide myself in the shadow of the Almighty. I am gonna run into God, I am gonna, because He is a strong tower. The Bible says the righteous run in and they are safe. And so you have to make up in your mind that I'm gonna run into God and I'm gonna listen to him. I'm not gonna listen to the lies of the media, I'm not gonna listen to social media, I'm not gonna fall into a trap of hating people because what happens there, that slippery slope, that a lot of people fell down and they enjoy it and they have stayed down, is because they had an open door to lies. They had no problem believing a lie. A lot of these people were people that were deep into cue. They were people that believe any conspiracy that comes out. They don't even question it, they don't even look it up. And see, this is where I remember God pulling my coattail about this years ago. You know, and there is a scripture in the Bible that that talks about do not call the thing a conspiracy just because these people call it a conspiracy. And that was where I decided I was gonna be a lover of truth. And so when anything comes out, I have to find the root of it. And if I can't find the root of it, I say, Holy Spirit, what is this? And the Holy Spirit will tell you. And so now I have gotten so good at listening that when he tells me, I listen right off. And I do not come into agreement with lies. I've talked about this on the show before. Don't come into agreement with lies. So that's what happened with the people that have fallen down the hole of hating people. They have they have fallen down a trap and they they think they're doing a service for God, and they're not because God is not hate. God is not hate, God has not persecuted, not a single group of people. And so what's happened here is that people say things like a woman in my comment said, they crucified Jesus. Well, Jesus said, Nobody can take my life from me. He laid it down himself. Nobody could have taken his life, he laid it down for us. And then another woman said, They worship the devil. Now, what she was doing was she was calling out a group of people, a group of Jews that possibly worship the devil. So I said, What about the white people that worship the devil? What about the black people that worship the devil? What about the Spanish people that worship the devil? Every group has a fringe that worships Satan. You can't just decide you're gonna choose an entire group of people and criticize them. This is from the talking heads. The talking heads have been paid. When I say this, people are offended. But who in their right mind makes a 180-degree turn in favor of Sharia law? Who does that without knowing Sharia law? This man just said that all the countries that embrace Sharia law prosper. That came from hell. The statement came from hell. But people are listening to it. See, what's happening is they're being boiled, just like frogs. This is why we have to be lovers of truth. We have to respond spiritually. We have to respond spiritually. In Romans 8, it says that the entire creation is groaning. They are waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. We are the sons of God. If you have been born again, you are a son of God. There is there are two different fathers out here. You get Satan as a father and God is a father. But when when you but you it's who it's who you look like. Who do you look like? Who do you sound like? Do you sound more like God or do you sound more like Satan? Because that is your father. And so right now, we we have to be a people that the world can come to us to ask questions, and they can come to us when they have a concern, you know, because it's a lot of lie out here. And they have to be able to get the truth, and they have to be able to get the truth from someone who has encountered Christ, someone who walks closely with Christ. I'm telling you, we are in a very confusing time. I'm telling you, we have to get to a place where we don't panic, we don't disconnect from God, we don't obsess over the headlines, we have to get anchored. We have to get anchored in Him. We have to get anchored in the Word of God. You have to know God for yourself, you have to be rooted in His Word, you have to strengthen your discernment, and most importantly, you have to know who you are. Your identity in Christ is paramount. I'm telling you, if you don't know who you are, the world is gonna tell you who you are and it's gonna be a complete lie. We are getting into some dark times, folks. When and and it, but it ain't it has not caught God off guard, right? It has He's not been caught off guard. He he knows everything that's gonna go on before it goes on, okay? We have to just be able to discern the seasons. When you see people being cruel, just give them the truth, give them the truth and love, give them the truth, and just keep on going. Just know that the remnant is a small group of people. It is not gonna be a lot of people. So I just want to keep you encouraged. I just wanted to get on here and say this and just to welcome you back and to thank you from for for listening. You know, I'm gonna see you guys next time. Enjoy your week.
