Success in spiritual warfare (that which precedes and infuses all the externals we try to interpret) starts with a realization of truth being first, relational. ("I am the way, the truth and the life."), then discernible to the degree we are able to enter into relationship with it (Proverbs 3:5-6). All else is possibly educated conjecture (at best) and likely (at worst) a sort of forced jigsaw assembly of randomly claimed 'facts' into an image which fit best into our preferred interpretations of events, and are (unfortunately) highly influenced by various barrages of disinformation; their quality or lack thereof. Eyes on Christ. Live the life.
Pray, patriots, pray!
