Assault on Being Woke. WHY!

It may come as a surprise to find out God encourages WOKENESS throughout the Bible and Scrioture. The Book of Reveation, the last chapter of the Christian Bible, urgently calls Christians to remain SPIRITUALLY ALERT and ready. It emphasizes that Christ's return will be sudden and unexpected, requiring believers to actively guard their faith, maintain moral purity, and persevere through trials to avoid being caught spiritually unprepared. 

Throughout Revelation, the call to vigilance is tied directly to the reality of Christ's return and final judgment. Key themes highlighting this preparation include: spiritual readiness, faithful endurance, active devotion, and hope and assurance.

Why is there so much push-back about being WOKE? First there MUST be a clear definition of what the word woke means. Saying a person is "woke" means they have an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, particularly regarding race, gender, and sexual identity. However, the term's meaning has evolved and split into two distinct definitions depending on who is using it.

The definition of being woke has two persoectives. 

Positive/Original Meaning: Originating in African American Vernacular English (AAVE), "woke" traditionally describes someone who is alert, conscious, and attentive to societal issues like racial discrimination and police brutality. In this context, staying "woke" is a rallying cry for self-awareness and active participation in social justice.

Negative/Disparaging Meaning: In contemporary political discourse, the term is frequently used by political opponents to criticize progressive or liberal orthodoxy. It is often used to describe someone whose views on diversity, equity, and identity politics are seen as unreasonable, extreme, or forced.

The very thing God asks of us that we ridicule, begin infighting, outfighting, and every other kind of fighting of each/ We fight about what is asked of us in every verse of Scripture in the Christian Bible. The exact phrase "wake up" is used zero times in traditional translations like the King James Version (KJV), where archaic words like "awake" or "arouse" are used instead. However, modern translations (such as the ESV, NIV, or NLT) use the exact phrase "wake up" about 16 to 48 times, depending on the translation version. 

Key Scriptures on "Awakening" Spiritual Awakening: "Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." (Ephesians 5:14) End-Time Urgency: "Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep." (Romans 13:11) Prophetic Calls: "Wake up! Wake up, Zion, clothe yourself with strength!" (Isaiah 52:1) Call for Deliverance: "Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don't reject us forever." (Psalms 44:23).

Spiritual Awakening and Vigilance: In a spiritual context, the Bible constantly warns believers to "stay awake," "wake up," and remain alert. These verses use waking up as a metaphor for being spiritually alert, discerning, and ready for Christ's return. 

• Ephesians 5:14: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
• Romans 13:11: "...The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed."
• 1 Thessalonians 5:6: "...So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober." 

If you have noticed, the Trump administration has taken a stance against people being woke and vigilent. I see the implementation of being 'woke' as being a way to maintain justice and fairness as much as possible here on Earth in an evil world. Conservatives began using "woke" and "wokeism" as a derogatory umbrella term around 2019 (Republicans are two thing, focused and patient). Originally a watchword for vigilance against systemic racism in African American **communities**. Maybe that's why the word is ACTUALLY seen as deragotory. The political right co-opted the term to criticize progressive social justice movements, diversity initiatives, and political correctness.

2019–2020: High-profile conservative figures and media personalities began actively using "woke" as a pejorative to mock what they viewed as insincere activism and leftist overreach.

2021: Prominent lawmakers intensified the trend, with the Trump administration launching a formal "war on woke" targeting diversity and inclusion efforts and conservatives increasingly adopting terms like "woke capitalism".

2023–Present: Use of the word became a central staple in the GOP's platform, encompassing legislation limiting how race and gender are discussed in schools and workplaces. 

After winning the 2024 presidential nomination. Trump said in a speech that he loved the "UNEDUCATED" Which doesn't phase any of his supporters. He LOVES the DUMB people who vote for him. To put FEET to those words, he hired an unqualified person to lead the Department of Education to ENSURE there are plenty of dumb voters. NOTICE HOW, they want you to be dumb. They believe in all of their intelligence, that if the schools doesn't teach about the History of America correctly, ESPECIALLY Black History, that if banned, censored, or completely removed, ERASES Black people?

That is the ultimate sign of being uneducated and Mentally Ill. Yes! I said it! I have ALWAYS been an advocate of RACISM being declared the mental health issue that it is. REVERSE racism has been pushed HARD 2026 and White people are TIRED and have had ENOUGH of living with this out and out racism against White people. Reverse racism podcasts are popping up everywhere. The podcaster tells the audience to no longer feel bad, they're experiencing racism and they have always been innocent. They can make it through if they just stick together and know the truth.

This belief is further indicated and demonstrated by their FORCED removal of people who does not look like them. That is many of you who are graciously reading this blog post now. In the Bible, physical sleep instead of spiritual watching (vigilance) is generally described as a sign of spiritual apathy, moral weakness, or a lack of readiness for God’s judgment. Rather than physical rest, "watching" refers to a state of moral alertness, prayer, and faithfulness.  

Donald Trump is ACTUALLY encouraging and bullying people NOT to be awake, ALERT. He throws lies at reality. Confusion works just as well as being asleep. He is incompetant at doing good things but has a Phd. in keeping the American people asleep.

Here is an example of what Trump is pushing:

On the state of the nation: "Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness is bad... Our country will be woke no longer." 

On federal policy and hiring: "We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender." 

On military and schools: "Our service members won't be activists and ideologues, they will be fighters and warriors. They will fight for our country." 

On defining the term: "I don't like the term 'woke' because I hear 'woke woke woke.' It's just a term they use, half the people can't even define it, they don't know what it is.

Donald Trump’s famous quote about the "poorly educated" occurred during his victory speech at the Nevada caucuses on February 23, 2016. Reflecting on exit polls that showed him winning across a wide array of demographics, he proclaimed: "We won with highly educated, we won with poorly educated — I love the poorly educated". Our president is pushing American citizens to EMBRACE illiteracy. Doesn't sound like he wants THINKING people to exist.

Pete Hegseth PROVES they do not like the EDUCATED and/or WOKE. Our miliatry are being drained of "WOKE" people. The Department of War don't want the watchful.

For the Christian, staying awake is encouraged. It emphasizes that Christ's return will be sudden and unexpected, requiring believers to actively guard their faith, maintain moral purity, and persevere through trials to avoid being caught spiritually unprepared. This is what Trump ridicules, bullies, and make people divided on such a SIMPLE concept they call dangerous for America and our children. I guess he wants 'mini-me' Trumps running all around. Parents must no longer care either. Parents are supporting the no more 'woke' stance. WHAT DO THEY WANT FOR THEIR CHILDREN? Antiwokism? Not a real word, just like most of their moral beliefs and throw in Christian also, in my opinion. Do they really want for their children to live in a world of blind obedience to man's every crazy whim?

Donald Trump seems to search and appoint the most "unwoke" people he can find. It is a prerequisite to even having your name considered for a position in his administration. He ridicules and make them a butt of vile jokes. He singles out the 'woke' and those whose views on diversity, equity, and identity politics are seen as unreasonable, extreme, or forced. He keeps your mind focused on destruction, outrageousness, and chaos. He is ANTI-WOKE to his obsessive fanaticism and jealousy of certain unnamed people I have redacted. He LOOKS for ways to bring you harm because you ARE 'woke'.

Social media is filled with devotees of Trump's ideas/ideals, distributing the ant-woke message to the masses and friends. They strike at every opportunity ridiculing those trying to bring attention to their injustices. Are we paying attention? All media has to be taken over by the ONE who loves dumb people so they will believe that Trump communications are CORRECT communication. Limiting information makes people dumb. In real time we are watching truth being stolen, but not in silence. People are ALERTING people to the danger of this while they choose to ignore it as not SERIOUS.

To get out of LEAGAL liabilty, FOX says their station is an 'opinion' or 'commentator' show and in no WAY are they calling themselve jouralists who follow the ethical rules for that profession. The NEWS station, without real journalist (so no news. Just opinions which are LIES), share out and out lies of the day to their viewership and tells them to trust no ONE but FOX with giving them truth. 

That, to me, is one of the main components of ABUSE. When you are bullied, threatened with being an outcast, strongly encouraged not to listen to any other SOURCE of news for truth, except Trump's. This is a step in the ABUSE playbook. ISOLATION. These people crack JOKES, while smiling with ease, and have boastful proclaimations of Christianity. Christianity, one of the most serious of topics, is what will eventually bring them down and either humble Conservative or destory them because of the woke and Watchmen.

From the story of Noah and the Flood, to the 7,000 faithful kept during Elijah's time, and the early Church, the biblical theme of the remnant highlights God's unyielding grace. It is the profound promise that no matter how dark or unfaithful the world becomes, God always preserves a faithful few who hold true to his TRUTH.

In our climate of greed and entitlement, there has been a change in America as it celebrates its 250th Anniversary. The country is more divided than ever over anything and everything. It's not fight FOR America, it's just fighting each other in America. Many are fearing what the 4th of July holds. With more frequent chants of, "Go back to YOUR country, or we don't WANT you here", what kind of CELEBRATION are we going to have? Priorities are lost with encouragement from the RIGHT. It's a fight about the CULT classic, WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?). We don't have to GUESS do we? It's written for Christians. 

In modern discourse, the term 'woke' has become highly politicized. It is frequently used as a pejorative or insult by those who wish to criticize progressive policies, performative corporate activism, or "cancel culture". The word WOKE is used by DEMOCRATS as an indicator to where a person's heart is as well as their mind. The nation IS crying out, "There is something wrong with Trump's mental health!" I agree, who would want only HIS own opinion, not allowing for your voice to be heard. ALL other voices to be SILENCED.

He is constantly REMINDING the public, WHATEVER he does is the biggest, greatest, thing you've witnessed, while barely making it everyday. His health is decling. Even though I don't agree with him, I don't enjoy watching his health decline on the world stage. I cringe. There seems to be no one around him who loves him enough to get him HELP. They are not 'woke' to sickness either. Doesn't Robert Kennedy notice anything with his CDC skills? That IS the ONLY work he will lift a finger to do; point you to him to GLORIFY his every move. He is BEARING fruit and people are trampling each other to get that fruit. It's not in the KOOLAID.

God is WARNING us to watch out for those types of people, anti-good, which IS the SAME as being Antichrist in the Christian world. We all know someone eating that FORBIDDEN fruit. How EAGER and QUICK people are to TAKE from you and have no intention of GIVING.

You don't have to be a Christian nor believe the Bible to understand,"If a person isn't for you, they're against you." Trump is for the uneducated, he only wants to be the greatest ever. You're worried about his money grifts when he is taking your most VALUABLE job assigned to you by your CREATOR (mine at least). 

In the Bible, a watchman was a literal sentinel stationed on city walls and towers to guard the community. Their responsibilities were strictly twofold: Keep Watch: Maintain unyielding vigilance to spot approaching threats (like armies or messengers) or opportunities. Sound the Alarm: Immediately blow a trumpet or shout to warn the people to prepare for danger. Trump says he is doing that for women like no one else has done and better than those who have tried. Guard yourself, if you don't want ICE to come.

Vigilance and Alertness: A watchman had to stay awake, especially at night, and be completely focused on the horizon.

Courage: Watchmen often had to deliver unpopular messages or sound the alarm when others wanted to remain comfortable.

Faithfulness: They were not judged by whether the people repented or the threat was completely averted, but strictly by their obedience in sounding the warning faithfully. 

Donald Trump"s and his hand selected administration wouldn't be able to quiet the Watchmen already sounding the alarm about present danger. He accuses and seek vengence on those giving the warning that God said would always come for varying reasons.Now they're attacking KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM? We see the idea as stupid and never comng to fruition. Trump sees it as PROGRESS  because the unfied efforts of Republicans to LIE at all costs, is a BRAINWASHING technique to break prisoners of war resistening non violently, If people read, they will be able to quickly recognize their tactics.

But just know, to watch out for yourself, others, and sound the ALARM when there is danger, danger, danger! The world does not have to be ending for there to be a cry against injustice. It is proved over and over and over in God's WORD, the Bible. One of the KEY passage of Scripture, which is dispersed throught the Bible is this WARNING:

"Those with eyes to see" is a metaphorical phrase used to describe individuals who possess the perception or wisdom to recognize deeper truth. It most famously traces back to the biblical metaphor, "he who has eyes to see, let him see," and modern interpretations popularized by public figures. The phrase "those with eyes to see" refers to spiritual discernment. It highlights that the deep truths and revelations of God are not grasped by physical sight or human logic alone. Instead, they require a receptive heart and spiritual awakening. Matthew 13:16 (referencing Isaiah) and aligns closely with the repeated refrain in Revelation: "Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches".This is WOKE defined for followers of Christ's truth. Danger is NEAR when you no longer have love for your neighbor on this type of scale.

If God Heals, Why Hospitals Full Of Christians?

Okay, calm down. This is a case of don't kill/shoot the messenger. This is NOT my QUESTION at all, but a meme posted on Facebook. I said to myself, "What the hay. Answer the question as I believe." I know. Who would even engage? A person who loves answering questions, lol. 

The meme said, " If Christians say that God can heal, why are the hospitals filled with suffering Christians?" What a question!  Many Christians would become offended and walk away or rebuke such a nasty meme even if it was on a hilarious things page. "No Christian likes for God to be mocked," they would say. The truth may be they cannot answer the question with sound reasoning. So offense shows up instead of ANSWERING A QUESTION. I know nobobdy was expecting seriousnees on a hilarious site.

1 Peter 3:15: "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." (NIV).

I try not to run and PRAY to be GENTLE and RESPECTFUL. I'd be honored if you prayed that for me too. So, I hope every Christian is prepared to answer some TOUGH questions about God, religion, Christianity, and Jesus during these chaotic times in America and abroad. Many are getting baptized and coming to Christ and the kindom. They have questions. Tough questions. So practice on Facebook pages lol.

As I wrote my reasons, I began to notice, the Christian faith is really Philosophy. Meditating and finding answers. My Master Degree in Religion is under, PHILOSOPHY. I was shocked too. But my answers were more philosophical than FACTUAL. Here we go. 

Christians are examples of God's word lived out on Earth. Through us, he tries to get us to examine the condition of our souls daily. People dislike God for how he has wrath and kills innocents in wars. Human suffering also makes people question God. How can there be a rational answer? It is when you look as man as an instrument of God's who willingly signed up for the assignment to be CHRISTLIKE. People see people through the Christian. Philosophical, but that's wher faith and hope live.

The primary verses for imitating Christ and acting as His ambassadors are found in the letters of the Apostle Paul. They define the Christian identity, calling believers to represent heaven's Kingdom and embody Christ's love. The Main Verses:

• Imitating Christ: 1 Corinthians 11:1 states, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ" (NIV). Similarly, Ephesians 5:1 urges believers to, "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children" (NIV). This concept involves living a life that reflects the character, love, and righteousness of Jesus. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Ambassadors for Christ: 2 Corinthians 5:20 declares, "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God" (NIV). An ambassador serves as an official representative sent by a higher authority to a foreign land, tasked with delivering the King's message of peace and reconciliation.
  
  
  The ENTIRE BIBLE reflects this and Christians are PUNISHED for WRONG ambassordorship. Back to sick and Christians dying painful death. We all have the promise of death regardless of religion or non religion. Death matters. It changes the person, the more suffering either there is more blame or self reflection. Death shows the heart of the family, friends, community. Maybe the unanswered pray of healing is because viewing suffering changes people and the seemingly MARTYRED Christian whose prayers went unanswered for healing changed more lives in their death for the kingdom than while alive. Onlookers may choose the opposite and began doing things out of pain agaist God and Christianity.

Suffering also allows those who say they hate suffering to HELP end it. Christians should be all over it. But, sadly more churches show the opposite and now say vile things about them and advocate to let them die. God's grace is always saying CHANGE, follow the Bible's command of love. He gives a chance to be better constantly sometimes close, right in our faces, and we mostly fail. The instrument malfunctions at times. 

So, the meme asked something PROFOUND. Something Philosophers meditate about day and night, search for answers no matter how many years, knowing there IS an answer. If God said it, why doesn't it happen for EVERY Christian? Can there be a logical reason for the belief found in the Bible? They would meditate day and night for an answer, search for years. Luckily, it's ALL in the pages of the Bible, but people CHOOSE what they read and INTERPRET it by personal experience as we do all other things in life. God isn't confusing. People are. They LAY the Bible on THEMSELVES, instead of layig the Bible on themselves. YOU on GOD, not God on you. This is an one on one growth in Christianity. Not OUTSIDE of Christianity.

The Book of Job explains that God gets a person's attention primarily through dreams and adversity. When people ignore subtle guidance, God uses these methods to warn them, correct their pride, and save them from making destructive mistakes. The specific ways God speaks are outlined mainly by Job’s friend Elihu in chapters 33 and 36.

In Job 33, a young man named Elihu explains that God speaks "once, yes twice" to get a person's attention and keep them from pride. The specific "three ways" he outlines—including literally putting a person on their back with sickness—are detailed below: 

1. Dreams and Night Visions. God speaks when a person is resting and less distracted. 

• The Bible says: "In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men... Then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction" (Job 33:15–16).
• The Purpose: To turn people away from bad behavior and hide pride from them. 

2. Physical Affliction (Putting Them on Their Back)

If the first method fails, God uses severe illness—pain that keeps a person "chastened... on his bed"—to force them to stop and consider their ways.

• The Purpose: To humble individuals and prevent their souls from going to the "pit" (death). 

3. A Divine Messenger (Mediator)

Finally, God may use an angel or messenger to guide a person toward righteousness, leading to restoration and grace, as noted in Job 33:29-30. Ths may be the ULTIMATE answer, a biblical ANSWER, not philosophically.

I know the person probably didn't want any SERIOUSNESS on his FUN page. I guess I'm that person, but I did laugh. I can't help I'm serious. I didn't write Scriptures or anything this long. That's why I'm writting about it here. But that is a LOGICAL question many people have. That's why "healing" is funny to non Christians, new in Christ, and the babes in Christ no matter how long they have been saved. I hope people at least do like the philosophers do. Meditate, seek truth, and go to the source of the BELIEF, the BIBLE and search how can any one believe in praying for healing. Not selected verses, but the Bible.

FAITH is one part of the armor of God Christians put on for battle which we are i every day where God asks us to TRUST him with EVERYTHING because he WANTS GOOD for Christians. It is the SHEILD, it PROTECTS from the enemies arrows. Enemies are those in Satan's army. We don't get to say who they are, but we have faith in God that they are real and our FAITH in Him and His word, unseen are TRUE.
