🚨🚨 THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK / THE DEMOCRACY FILES: A PRIMER 🚨
I will be using this thread to track all drops, so bookmark it.
I spent most of yesterday backing everything (now 312 gigabytes) up in various sources and getting the materials out to others. I also produced an lain the whole thing to others are not on 𝕏 - feel free to distribute.
Here's the primer:
USAID, the foreign aid agency, had a democracy office. Inside the agency, it was called DRG.
Officially, DRG administered "democracy assistance." They'd go inside countries they thought were sliding into authoritarianism and help the opposition there. That assistance included election monitoring, judicary support, independent media, and civil society building.
You may have heard the term "color revolution." The model comes from Serbia in 2000, where trained student activists brought down Milosevic with the help of Western governments, after sustained protests. With the help of USAID's democracy office, this model was implemented in many other countries to topple governments: Georgia's "Rose Revolution" in 2003, Ukraine's "Orange Revolution" in 2004, and many more.
Then last year, DOGE shut down USAID. But the USAID democracy office didn't stop. They formed a group called the Democracy Renewal Group, the same initials as their office (USAID Democracy, Human Rights, Governance). Their goal: apply their own playbook to the United States itself.
This goal became a plan, called Renew American Democracy (RAD). It invoked the "4 B's" framework. Block - use lawfare and protests to make life harder for the Trump administration. Bridge & Belong - control dialogue and win people over. The final and most important B is Build. Build means redesigning the American government itself, and the crisis is the opening.
In their own words:
"We can take that breakdown moment and leverage it for a big structural reform, you know, refounding moment." - Danielle Reiff, DRG lead.
Calls show DRG working alongside DSA on ideas of creating a different government, one that does away with the Constitution itself.
DRG does not run the Block operations. They hand it to UDA, the United Democracy Alliance. One organizer calls it a "huge galaxy": lawsuits, street protests, non-cooperation. They list No Kings, Indivisible, MoveOn, 50501, and many other mega-activist NGOs among their members.
Another organizer calls UDA Erica Chenoweth's project. Chenoweth is the Harvard professor behind the three-and-half-percent rule of regime change: get that share of a country's populace onto the streets, and historically, the movement wins.
The UDA is very "hush-hush." They have no website, no roster, no filings.
Then come the red lines: things the Trump administration could do, such as calling the Insurrection Act on protesters, that would mean that the federal government, in their words, "crosses the threshold into illegitimacy." Nobody voted on those lines. There was no public debate. These red lines were developed within secretive working groups, and in a paper addressed to governors and staff.
In the words of Reiff/DRG:
"So that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a Constitutional crisis, like everyone's already pre-organized. And so Mike Smith actually said, he goes, oh, you guys have the day after tomorrow plan."
Cross a line, and the paper's options include states refusing to lend their resources to federal officials, and governors convening what it calls a "Third Continential Congress."
Running the UDA's Insurrection Act working group: Rear Admiral Mike Smith (RET) of National Security Leaders of America (NSL4A). NSL4A is also credited with operationalizing UDA, the blocking operations. NSL4A consists of about 1,600 ex-officers, spies, diplomats. They're turning red lines into indicators and running a situation room to monitor them throughout the midterms and beyond.
The NSL4A's lawyers told them to stop recording meetings in case of subpoenas. But the rest of the network continued to record. DRG works in conjunction with Renew to Thrive (R2T), which ended up accidentally publishing 400+ calls and thousands of documents. These calls and documents were never meant for our eyes, but it's them, on tape.
Thousands of NGOs and billions of dollars are involved in this endeavor. Most of them believe they're saving democracy. The problem is that people who spent their careers deciding when other countries' governments had lost their legitimacy wrote that test for ours, in private, and planned for what comes after.
Who decides when your government is legitimate?

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 7: THE SECRET MEGA-ALLIANCE WAITING FOR A RED LINE TO BE CROSSED 🚨
What do you call a mega-alliance that:
• Covers hundreds, if not thousands, of protest organizations
• Covers all the lawfare-related organizations
• when a Constitutional crisis is crossed
• Consults federal workers on how to block emergency efforts
• Runs a situation room for the midterms and beyond
• Is credited to regime change expert and professor Erica Chenoweth
• Is operationalized by National Security Leaders for America, an organization of 1,600 retired officers, spies, and diplomats
• ... and determines the "red lines" for mobilization of the above?
Meet the United Democracy Alliance (UDA).
UDA is the secret alliance behind the messaging we saw this week:
• JB Pritzker's warning that states will "strongly resist"
• Governor Newsom's office declaring a "CODE RED"
• Norm Eisen talking about "war rooms"
• Slotkin predicting a "national security incident"
You will not find any mentions of the United Democracy Alliance (UDA) on the web. It is a mega-alliance of resistance NGOs ready to deploy on a moment's notice, monitoring every action President Trump takes and monitoring every polling place.
We only can put together the pieces by recordings. Some key quotes:
• "if there's a moment where there's a constitutional crisis, like one of the UDA four red lines, if they get crossed… governors then become the kind of lead anchor for political power." (Zeitz, Aug 6)
• "the big, big, big, big, big tent that's being organized in the blocking community so that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a constitutional crisis, like, everybody's already pre-organized." (Reiff, Aug 5)
• "We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations" (Eric Manton, Zoom chat, Aug 6)
According to @JeffClarkUS , the last point above about federal workers conspiring to block emergency responses may violate serious statutes. More on federal workers involvement in Drop 8.

The ACLU has been involved in the election protection insanity that has engulfed Democracy Inc., as detailed by Deirdre Schifeling, their Chief Political and Advocacy Officer.
Deirdre previously worked in the Biden administration, at Planned Parenthood, and at the Working also part of the Fight Back Table, which coordinated efforts by progressive organizations to oppose Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
I encourage voters to contact their hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683), if you see democrats pulling their usual election rigging shenanigans and/or to report their disinformation.
Also, it’s not exactly true that our elections are run by the states. They are actually run, in large part, by the nonprofit industrial complex, including the ACLU. The states are simply there to carry out the administrative functions on behalf of Democracy Inc. We need new laws to regulate this, including making nonprofits subject to FOIA laws.

DSL Leader: “We are rapidly approaching the crisis stage in this country.”
Demoralization → Destabilization → Crisis
Demoralization → Destabilization → Crisis
🚨 DSA Leader Says Keep the Guns Hidden Until the Crisis Comes
Are the Democratic Socialists of America violent? It's a question that has sparked considerable debate, but one of the organization's national leaders argues that now is the time to prepare for the coming revolution.
national DSA leader with close ties to the organization's security apparatus, the Red Rabbits, isn't interested in armed activists showing off their guns in the streets.
“Until there's a crisis, keep the fucking guns put up.”
But he also warned that America is “rapidly approaching the crisis stage” and described the present as a time for “experimentation and accumulation of forces.”
Pointing to the unrest in Minneapolis, Winston declared, “We literally had the embryo of a dual power,” referring to what he sees as the beginnings of an alternative power structure challenging capitalism. He urged others to learn from Minneapolis and the radical organizing networks established during 2020 that remained in place.
Winston also invoked Maoist revolutionary movements in Peru and India, arguing that fellow travelers should study their experiences while developing a distinctly American revolutionary approach rather than simply copying tactics from abroad.

The talking points went out. Marc Elias is pushing the narrative of the group @DataRepublican @iamlisalogan and I have been exposing.
What the lawsuit ACTUALLY says:
The DOJ asks the court to block certification of the results IF Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola BY A MARGIN THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY VOTES FOR THE OTHER CANDIDATE WITH THE SAME NAME,Daniel J. Sullivan (also referred to as Dan J. Sullivan Jr. or similar), PENDING AN INVESTIGATION into whether those votes were intended for the senator.
The complaint alleges that Daniel J. Sullivan (a retired teacher/former Forest Service worker from Petersburg who filed in late May 2026) is running as a Republican “with the intention of misleading supporters of Senator Sullivan into voting for him,” with the “sole purpose” of benefiting Peltola by siphoning votes. It cites earlier findings by Alaska Elections Director Carol Beecher that the candidacy was not in good faith and was intended to confuse or mislead voters (Alaska’s trial court and Supreme Court later ruled he could stay on the ballot). The DOJ frames this under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), particularly language about protecting the “integrity of the electoral process,” and claims certifying a potentially tainted result would violate that duty.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 5: Washington state's Secretary of State weighs in 🚨
The below clip shows Danielle Reiff of DRG pitching her vision to an audience including Washington state's Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs.
She explains the red-line y a vision of creating a "cross-partisan" government in the wake of an illegitimate federal government.
Her three "democratic emergency" scenarios should be familiar by now:
· Election meltdown - which includes a widespread public loss of trust in election results
· Insurrection Act deployed against protesters
· An attempt to delay seating of legitimately elected officials post-election
If the federal government becomes illegitimate in her view because of the above, then she proposes a cross-partisan system of transitional governance. She names a cross-partisan board of governors, as well President Obama and President Bush as potential transitional leaders.
WA SoS Hobbs replies to Reiff that he has had the exact same conversation with German and Japanese officials regarding how to deal with AfD and right-wing nationalist parties. Now, to be fair, he does not want to commit because, in his words, "we're winning." But he doesn't disagree either.
Note also that here and in other recordings, "election meltdown" does not mean some sort of flashy media crisis. It means, simply, a large segment of the population doesn't believe the election results are legitimate.

At some point, the evidence of a coordinated run on our Constitutional Republic will need to be actionable by those who are on the game board.
It’s not enough to have feels about it. The evidence of actionable coordination is taking shape in real time.
This is emergent coordination aka parallel convergence. NOT seditious conspiracy.
Although with a receipt I have from @DataRepublican generated last evening in our space, we may have the unraveling a foreign play at work- more to come on that.
For most of this run, they will not cross a seditious line because they don’t have to in order to run the play.
USE YOUR WORDS. Stop using hyperbole in a war for mind and heart.
You’re dealing with seasoned professional nation captors. They wrote the book.
The climate is rich, they have every opportunity to make a run with a Constitutional crisis and you are the only thing standing in their way. (Follow SK)

The pattern is not subtle. It is the same playbook, the same media protection, and the same willingness to treat democratic outcomes as provisional when their power is at stake. The republic does not survive if that becomes normalized.

Recall them all to active duty and court martial them for conduct unbecoming.
This is not even real… a group of retired admirals, ex-USAID bureaucrats and professional protest organizers got caught on their own recordings working out the conditions under which they get to declare the government of the United States illegitimate, and somehow we are y are the ones protecting democracy.
Here is what @DataRepublican put out in Part 2 of the Democracy Files. The videos come from a group called Renew to Thrive, with Danielle Reiff and Paul Zeitz in key roles, and it sits inside a much bigger umbrella called the United Democracy Alliance, which she describes as the hush-hush control room for groups like 50501 and Indivisible, deciding when protests get deployed, the timelines and how to respond. National Security Leaders for America, 1,600 former military, intelligence and diplomatic officials led by retired Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith, is credited with operationalizing the whole thing. On tape they lay out a list of "redlines," and invoking the Insurrection Act against "peaceful" protesters is one of the most discussed… and as she lays it out, they shopped the idea around to governors who don't even have to sign anything, all a governor has to do is refuse federal troops and let the network do the rest.
Make no mistake about who Mike Smith is. His own organization's bio says he founded and led National Security Leaders for Biden, more than 1,100 members with an endorsement letter signed by 780 of them, and now he runs a "non partisan" group that just cares so deeply about the oath. But hey… I am sure it is totally nonpartisan this time.
And the very same morning the Washington Post runs a story about a small group of current and former Defense Department officials quietly advising governors, election officials and lawmakers in 10 states on how to prepare for the Trump administration "interfering" in the midterms, rehearsing what to do if a federal agent asks for access to ballots or machines. Different names, same message… the elected federal government is the threat, and the people who run the elections are the ones who need protecting from it.
Let me put it to you like this. They are building the excuse before the event even happens. They coordinate the protests, they decide in advance which government response crosses their line, and then they hold that response up as proof the whole government is illegitimate and the governors should take over. How exactly is that defending the Constitution? If a room full of retired conservative officers got caught on tape role playing how to declare a Democrat president illegitimate, the FBI would be knocking on doors before the coffee got cold and every network in the country would run it wall to wall.
I am angry about this, and I think most of you are not angry enough. These people swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a party, and they are treating the legitimacy of an elected government like a privilege they get to revoke the minute the voters pick somebody they don't like. As DataRepublican puts it, almost any effective pushback against their NGOs counts as illegitimate in their book. Where is the outrage from the people who spent five years lecturing you about threats to democracy?
Admiral Smith, Ms. Reiff, Dr. Zeitz… release every recording in full and explain to the American people, under oath, exactly what you were planning for the day after.

"We can take that breakdown moment and leverage it for a big structural reform, you know, refounding moment." - Danielle Reiff, DRG lead.
Calls show DRG working alongside DSA on ideas of creating a different government, one that does away with the Constitution itself.
DRG does not run the Block operations. They hand it to UDA, the United Democracy Alliance. One organizer calls it a "huge galaxy": lawsuits, street protests, non-cooperation. They list No Kings, Indivisible, MoveOn, 50501, and many other mega-activist NGOs among their members.
Another organizer calls UDA Erica Chenoweth's project. Chenoweth is the Harvard professor behind the three-and-half-percent rule of regime change: get that share of a country's populace onto the streets, and historically, the movement wins.
The UDA is very "hush-hush." They have no website, no roster, no filings.
Then come the red lines: things the Trump administration could do, such as calling the Insurrection Act on protesters, that would mean that the federal government, in their words, "crosses the threshold into illegitimacy." Nobody voted on those lines. There was no public debate. These red lines were developed within secretive working groups, and in a paper addressed to governors and staff.
In the words of Reiff/DRG:
"So that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a Constitutional crisis, like everyone's already pre-organized. And so Mike Smith actually said, he goes, oh, you guys have the day after tomorrow plan."
Cross a line, and the paper's options include states refusing to lend their resources to federal officials, and governors convening what it calls a "Third Continential Congress."
Running the UDA's Insurrection Act working group: Rear Admiral Mike Smith (RET) of National Security Leaders of America (NSL4A). NSL4A is also credited with operationalizing UDA, the blocking operations. NSL4A consists of about 1,600 ex-officers, spies, diplomats. They're turning red lines into indicators and running a situation room to monitor them throughout the midterms and beyond.
The NSL4A's lawyers told them to stop recording meetings in case of subpoenas. But the rest of the network continued to record. DRG works in conjunction with Renew to Thrive (R2T), which ended up accidentally publishing 400+ calls and thousands of documents. These calls and documents were never meant for our eyes, but it's them, on tape.
Thousands of NGOs and billions of dollars are involved in this endeavor. Most of them believe they're saving democracy. The problem is that people who spent their careers deciding when other countries' governments had lost their legitimacy wrote that test for ours, in private, and planned for what comes after.
Who decides when your government is legitimate?

The Scriptural teachings of Mrs. Publius are the best on 𝕏. Please give her a follow if you're so inclined.
Good Morning,
Colossians 3:23-24:
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
Arise! "Whoever has ears, let them hear.” (Matthew 11:15). Folks, I sense an urgency in my spirit. God has called each of us to use our God-given talents for His Kingdom. Every Christian should get quiet and pray; listen to the instructions of the Holy Spirit and do what He says. I think about Mary and Jesus when Jesus changed water into wine. In John 2:1-5, it says, "On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and His Disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to Him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” This should be our attitude towards our holy calling. “Do whatever He tells you." Make it happen. What God has called each of us to do as Christians is a holy calling, a holy vocation. Don't hesitate; answer the call. How should I go about starting my holy calling exactly? Pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance, for God’s Will/Intent to be done, and the Body of Christ arise and fulfill her Mission.
Today’s passage directs our attention to the vocation of “working for the Lord”. This isn’t rhetoric but a firm deliberate directive from God’s Word. We will examine what the Word of God reveals to us about our work. Let our Savior return and find us fulfilling our divine calling on the earth.
Let’s begin by exploring the foundational scriptures that instruct us to perform our holy calling; our holy vocation.
I. The Lord’s Vision of Holy Work. As you review the scriptures in this section, remind yourself our holy calling is precious in the Lord’s sight. Why? Because our holy vocation represents a piece of God’s vision of the Body of Christ. What is our holy calling? Our holy calling is our assignment from the Lord to equip the Body of Christ to evangelize the earth and fulfill God’s Will/Intent on earth. Please keep in the forefront of your mind, our calling is HOLY. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines holy as “devoted entirely to the deity" or "the work of the deity” or “having a divine quality.” Our holy calling is something we should approach with reverence and great humility. Give your holy vocation the best of you; your best effort, your best attention/focus, and your best energy. Please read carefully each of the selected passages below to instruct your mind, conscience, and spirit. Remembering from where Jesus rescued us; out of our misery in a darkened world. Let us faithfully use our well-trained attentive ear, allowing each verse to penetrate our being like “a two-edge sword.” Let’s begin.
1. I Corinthians 15:10 - "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” In this verse, Paul (who suffered much on account of the Gospel - II Corinthians 11:23-27) declares in I Corinthians 15:10 the true source of power in his ministry. Pause a moment, even though Paul labored harder than his peers (the other Apostles) in his ministerial efforts; he humbly gives all of the glory to the grace God so richly supplied to him throughout his ministry. Verse 9 sheds some light into Paul’s perspective, it says, “For I am the least of the Apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.”
Christians often make excuses why they can’t do something God calls them to do. (I certainly am guilty of this offense.) I have to remind myself of Romans 11:29 - "for God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” This may or may not apply to individual Christians and it is a doctrinal matter. I plan to live my life as if it does apply to all Christians and not just prophets, patriarchs, etc. Please seek clarification from your church leaders.
We are called by God to use our God-given talents for the Kingdom of God and evangelization of the world. It is by God’s grace that it is possible to complete our assignment.
2. Proverbs 16:2-3 - "All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
3. I Corinthians 15:58 - "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”
4. Colossians 3:17 - "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
5. Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 - "I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”
6. II Corinthians 9:8 - "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
7. Psalm 90:17 - "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.”
8. Galatians 6:4-5 - "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load." In other words, carry out your assignment in the Body and do not compare yourself to another’s assignment. All parts are required for the Body of Christ to function. There are no menial tasks in the Body of Christ; there is such thing as "just praying” for example.
9. John 6:27 - “ Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” Yes, we need food for sustenance but our spiritual food is of great importance for eternal life.
10. Philippians 2:14-15 - “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky…”
11. Titus 2:7-8 - "In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”
As Paul instructs Titus in appropriate behavior, members the Body of Christ should follow this example.
12. II Peter 1:10 - "Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble…"
II. A crucial cornerstone of holy work is diligence. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines diligence as “steady, earnest, and energetic effort: persistent and careful hard work.” If you are unsure you will be successful in your calling; diligence is the pathway to success.
1. Proverbs 12:24 - “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.”
2. Proverbs 21:5 - "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
3. Ecclesiastes 9:10 - "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.”
4. Proverbs 11:27 - "Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it."
III. The daily routine of holy work. Please review these foundational scriptures highlighting the day to day realities of work in our lives.
1. II John 1:8 - "Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.”
2. II Timothy 2:15 - "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
3. Ecclesiastes 5:18-19 - "This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.”
4. I Thessalonians 4:11-12 - "and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”
5. Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
6. Proverbs 12:11 - "Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense."
7. I Peter 3:13-14 - "Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.”
8. Hebrews 6:10 - "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.”
9. II Timothy 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
10. John 14:12 - "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”
11. Hebrews 4:9-10 "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His.”
12. Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
13. Genesis 2:15 - "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”

15. Ephesians 4:28 - "Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.”
16. II Thessalonians 3:10 - "For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
IV. The spiritual warrior completes their holy work. It is always prudent to know when your journey is completed. How will I know when I have completed my holy calling? What does success look like? Consider these verses below.
1. Acts 20:24 - "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
2. II Timothy 4:7 - "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
3. Galatians 6:9 - "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
4. Philippians 3:14 - "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
This is one of those posts that should excite your senses and studied periodically. Everyone has an assignment, some big and some small, but none insignificant. Embrace your holy calling and demonstrate the reverence and humility your calling deserves because it is God’s Will and the Body of Christ needs you.
Have a blessed day.
Peace and be prepared.
