One of the most decorated Olympic stars all of a sudden loses it. She claims doubts, fears, disorientation ... demons?
She has faith, but not in herself at this time, not in her abilities this time. Is it deeper, a spiritual war, persecution?
It is the strangest thing. The Basketball team lost. Kevin Durant, was taken out of half the game for fouls and they lost against France. People have bad days, teams lose.
Is it me, or is something more than just these players or teams losing?
The election was stolen. The pandemic has gone out and conquered the world with lies, and fear. We have had a brief reprive but now a new Delta variant. The USA is going down.
Is Satan attacking the world?
The world is all wrong and under Satan's rule. Christians are being persecuted.
Your perspective?

This whole world is going down. Im letting it go. There is nothing in this world worth living for besides the Lord Jesus.

The USA is full of spiritual darkness and perhaps God is sick of it.

This is called PAYBACK. Athletes have been disrespecting the flag and the national anthem and going Woke. So when you go Woke you go Broke.

Can you imagine the discord there must be among the US contestants? And the divided attention between your best game and your political message?

Much love!

It's an easier time to let go of things. I'm using it. We cannot rely on anything in this world, and the only difference is a couple of years ago this fact wasn't so visible for some of us. The uncertainty helps me to focus on Jesus, and His promise to me to care for me.

Much love!

The first time an athlete or sportsman made a political statement on the field, he or she should have been removed from the team, and something to stop this nonsense should have been put in place. If an athlete is willing to disrespect his or her country in any way, they should be booted out immediately.

But what is really stupid is that Japan did not simply cancel the Olympics until things were back to normal. Which means that Japan should have been in the lead to expose China and the whole COVID conspiracy for the last 15 months. Instead the suicide rate skyrocketed in Japan because of the lockdowns. The Japanese are very smart people, yet they failed to do what smart people do -- TRUST BUT VERIFY.

Absolutely no one has really investigated all the lies and deception that the world has experienced since January 2020. Absolutely no one has taken the lead in setting up trials for Nuremberg 2 to bring the evildoers to justice.

In the end times, Satan is given control to do his thing. He has a short period of time. It appears he is in control and we have to put on our armor. It is either the "beggining of sorrows", or we are already in the Great Tribulation. We will see were this escalates by the end of the end. And if we see war in the Middle East, a nuclear war - we will know we are in it.
I feel sorry for people like Simone. Things happen, they are confused. It is almost like a spell or drug.
Can you imagine when all those things happened to Job. He must have been so depressed, But He never blamed God or got angry. He held into His faith and praised and honored God.
That is it folks - we are being and will be tested to the limits. Hold onto your faith, persevere.

Too much social media.
On the radio it said she has 1.4 million followers on Twitter.
She gets lots of negative comments as well as positive but then she re-tweets positives.
Not good for mental health. IMO young people spend too much time obsessing with social media.

Lots of pressure on these kids. But didnt she have that same pressure 5 years ago too and with 19 world championships and every championship meet? This girl was used to it. To get to this level, she overcame obstacles, personal and public. She had to be like a rock, a machine, strong physically and emotionally. A tough girl like this is not likely to be effected by online bullying or negativity.
However, there was the sexual abuse of her Dr. Larry Lazzar that plagued her. So Satan had already started persecuting her. And so I guess she was in therapy and on meds. ???

I don't think this generation of young people have been properly taught to handle stress, pressure and problems. When you shield your children from the reality that life is a continual kick in the groin, then they will not handle it well when they get kicked.
