Moleskin:
Q began by saying that today was Bastille Day, July 14. Q was informed by several PAX that today was July 12. Q will verify the actual date on the calendar for future “this day in history” moleskins.
The Bastille was a fortress turned into a prison by the Ancient Regime and was torn down by a mob in 1789. This reminded Q of 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
A stronghold is any thought that goes against the Word of God, the character and nature of God, and our identity in Christ. A stronghold can also be what the Q source calls the jester. Today we all heard that voice. Slow down. Stop running. Give up. You can’t do it. Quit. You’re tired. You can’t make it. You’re nothing. Today we all fought through those thoughts.
As HIM, we have a responsibility to capture every single thought and ask ourselves: is this true? Does this agree with the Word of God? Does this agree with the character of God? Does this agree with the nature of God? Does this agree with my identity in Christ? We reject every single thought that goes against any of these. We bring our thoughts into agreement with the Word of God and make them obedient to Christ.
Soul Glo out
