Transitioning From a Culture of Trusting Others to Trusting Ourselves
The title of this article is bound to raise a few eyebrows. I am not proposing that we should ignore the biblical admonition to trust God. Nor do I intend to argue against the fact that the human heart is deceitful. The narrow question I’ll address here is where we get the information we use to understand current events.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve trusted members of the press to investigate current events and report their findings. Recently, I learned that my trust was misplaced. The media have been feeding me half-truths. Having been made aware of this, I began looking for a different source of information. In 2018, I stumbled upon Q—an anonymous entity that encouraged people to dig through publicly available news articles, videos, and government documents to uncover the truth for themselves.
As I thought about the questions Q asked, and plowed through the linked documents, I learned that the media had been covering up institutionalized corruption. A new view of the world began taking shape in my mind. Not surprisingly, it was completely different from the model the media portrays.
The Research
Q has posted hints on hundreds of subjects. I learned that I could usually find the truth of a matter if I did a little digging. Because I didn’t have time to research every subject myself, sometimes, I’d look at the work of other researchers (anons). I’d examine their research and conclusions and see if they had connected the dots correctly. If they had, I would share their work with others. The anons that follow Q have created a sweeping narrative of culture that opposes the one disseminated by society’s corrupt overlords.
A sublime truth emerged from all of this. I realized I didn’t need anyone to tell me how the world works. I discovered that truth for myself by doing my own research. Q merely suggested where I should look for information.
We’ve gotten ourselves into this predicament because we trusted others to tell us the truth and they betrayed us. Many people still prefer to get their information from someone else—especially if a source appears to have information not available to the public. I don’t follow so-called “intelligence insiders” who make fantastic claims, offer no proof, and then dare people to prove they are lying. When you make a claim based on information not available to the public, the public can neither verify nor falsify the claim. One cannot build an accurate picture of current events based on rumors and unproven claims by anonymous sources.
I’ve learned (along with millions of anons) that we don’t need others to tell us what’s happening in the world. We can uncover the facts ourselves. And that is the primary goal of Q’s operation. Q did not intend to make us dependent on intelligence insiders for information. He trained us to become citizen journalists—free-thinking people who do their own research and come to their own conclusions.
We are, at this moment, transitioning from a time when we trusted in others to tell how the world works to a time when we must trust ourselves.
People often ask how do I know which subjects to focus on and which to ignore. The topics I focus on and every Q decode I provide is guided by the Holy Spirit. Although I’ve come to trust my research, it would be useless if not for the guidance of God. When Q says “trust yourself,” he is not telling us to ignore our relationship with God. It is God’s Spirit that leads us into all truth.
Thanks Dave, I value your godly processing of thought and expression as you are led by Holy Spirit. Left to ourselves, it all can be so empty. Led by our Creator God, it is so full. love and prayers and faith being sent your way for you and Denise, President Trump and for our USA. jb
This is so true, we always’ have to listen to where the Holy Spirit’s guides us! Q from the beginning, and you as well, Mike said “do you own research”.
I’m not a digital warrior now, but when i was an info sharer, I was FACT BASED. I did extensive research and always provided links to reputable studies and sources. There are plenty of verifiable facts that could redpill any sleeper (if said sleeper is not deliberately determined to fit in with whatever the nanny state is saying. Most sleepers choose to sleep). But if you’re into awakening people, there is no need to tout rumors and unproven stories, because facts and proof abound in other areas. Speculative commentary is a different thing. It can be enjoyable to read others’ stated opinions. However when someone asserts unproven things as if they are factual, that is not a good thing. For example, stating that children have been rescued from tunnels, when there is zero evidence or proof of this, is not helpful in my view. You don’t redpill ppl with rumors, that scares them away. Stick to facts if you into red pillin’, is my motto. There are plenty of verifiable facts to choose from. And of course Q and PM are right to suggest that everyone should be doing their own extensive research and being personally guided by God.
Just to be clear I think selling rumors is a different thing from sharing speculative commentary, visions and dreams. I do enjoy the latter.
I completely agree. Looking back at past experiences tells me the same thing. I could have saved myself tons of frustration if I had learned to trust myself sooner. That being said, I always pray to God for guidance and discernment on everything. I’ll admit I’ve been lead off track here and there by listening to people but the Lord God always gets me back on track. It makes me feel alone sometimes because I am not exactly on board with a lot of things people say but I don’t attack them for it. Ultimately we all want the same thing in the end.
For me, once I started praying for God’s guidance on everything, then following gut instinct (god gave us our gut instinct) and god’s clear leadings, things have worked well. Prior to that, when I Trusted well meaning authority figures it was a disaster. God outranks them and god guides us through the holy spirit, very clearly if you ask for it to be clear.
Jan. 20th killed my hope and my faith. I wonder if i’ll find my hope again. I lost faith in peoples quite a few years ago. Most of all I’ve been identified as a nopatiencefag. A shill of sorts I guess. Weird, I don’t see my self as a shill. I’m depressed and worried for my country here in America. Lost of suffering, lost of liberties and freedoms. Yet thinking or saying “this should have never happened,” and “When is anything of significance going to happen?” oddly makes me a shill. I can only guess that it’s because I don’t understand, the process, how suffering is a good thing, the darkness before the light.
Dave I love the information you put out, and the help you offer to us all. I ask for your forgiveness of the side-critic comments I make, or at least earn it some day. I pray i’ll find hope, and faith in humanity again. Take care brother Hayes and may god be forever on our side.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Only lefties act like babies, demanding that everything be made cosy for them. Spiritual adults can’t go around demanding ‘when do I get everything how I want it!”
Maybe you should understand human beings opening up about their mistakes. Than troll for a fight.
That’s good stuff, Dave. Thanks.
Thanks for the great article, Dave. I was just telling my husband yesterday how my whole view of how world operates has changed over the past six years.Through extensive reading and research on non-MSM websites, I can now see how society is being controlled and manipulated by various nefarious entities. We are not as free as we were led to believe. I guess I can now officially be called a conspiracy theorist…a term the MSM uses about facts and people they don’t like in order to keep the masses from discovering the truth for themselves. While I don’t like the evil I am seeing, I do like being awake as it helps me know where to focus my prayers.
Karen, what a wise comment. Well said.
Profound and I concur!
Hear, hear.
I can only suggest the inspirational mission of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, which was to combat “The Lie” with testimonial truth about the Soviet regime. He came to God and was blessed with the revelation: “One word of truth shall outweigh the world.” Satan is the Prince of Lies, and his greatest lie is to make us think that lying is not his only power.
It is comments like these that make me wonder, What is this so called plan? If Evil is not removed from office, how can Good be in office? If Evil in office and has control, how can Good(or Patriots) be in control? This does not make sense. I can only see the Demonrats and RINOs as the evil infesting our world. How is Goodly Patriots in control if Evil remains in office? I don’t understand?
I too, happened upon Q in 2018. I followed the feeds, but as a very busy small business person, had no time to sit and search things out. That being said, it seemed the things said opened up my thinking. Other tangential sources of information,TNTC (too numerous to (re)count) caught my attention and on my own I did in effect start studying things more. The COV scare-campaign caused me to research things from a medical standpoint and what a ‘rabbit hole’ I’ve traveled down with that.
[Aside: Unlike you, my departure from MSM started in the early ’80’s, when in grad school, I realized that all the ‘stations’ and ‘magazines’ seemed to run the same ‘narrative’. In the ’90’s I befriended an ex-Jack Anderson news guy [incredibly interesting bio], who divulged that much of what was written was contrived. So, fast forward to present, all that he said and I perceived way back then, turns out to be true. Sadly, in the last 10 years, the fake news has become exponentially worse. Now they BELIEVE that they run our lives. The voice of Satan has exposed itself.]
Dave Bryan’s sermon Sunday addressed the Q phenom. He pointed out the distinction between following Q (pure information) and Qanon (interpreters of that info). Like him, I follow Q – for myself. (PM, your posts seem to be the most true/measured, in my estimation. Thanks for all your work, so I don’t have to 😉 Yet alas, we hear the ‘Church’ tearing itself apart based upon if you’re a Qanon supporter or not. I’ve lost friends over the stupidity.
BUT – God is in control of it all. The more I sstudy the Bible, the more I see the patterns in it repeating themselves. For fun, study through IIsaiah60 utilizing the Matthew Henry Commentary (complete) . This is God’s plan laid out.
OTURN OFF THE MS M and turn on the BIBLE
Also Mark Taylor’s prophecies about pastors being exposed starting to come to pass. Follow Johnny + Elizabeth (Enlow) for that on Facebook. “Judgement begins at the house of the Lord.” I think some pastors have been discouraging ppl from following Q and from getting involved in politics because some of them are perhaps involved in the trafficking/pedo as well and know what’s coming.
Awesome – thank you – #TheGreatAwakening
what is a member of congress supposed to say? If she said the opposite she would probably be arrested for trying to overthrow the govt.
We are in a war. She just repeats the same things that General Flynn would say. Remember that in a war, in order to save lives (or win the war), you are allowed before God to tell “lies” (read: misinformation in order to distract), if this helps to win the war.
BTW, never focus on a certain month; just be prepared at any time for military intervention — because it could happen at ANY time now…
It’s impossible to know who is a white hat and who is a black hat and who is playing both sides. Lies aka disinformation to confuse both sides flying fast and furiously everywhere. Mike Lindell says August. Who to believe? One thing is for sure, they are not going to announce any dates or plans. It’s like Q quit dropping and now the disinfo is just out in the open and coming from MSM, big tech and those we trust or hope we can trust to be honest with us. So frustrating! But, we are in a war of words as Lin Wood says.
Yes, the more things progress the more I believe I see and understand a/the pattern. In the past we trusted self-identified investigative reporters to uncover what was not public. Now, with the internet, we are no longer limited to these investigators, good and bad. In the comlete reset we are entering, which I don’t believe will be a return to what many think of as the norm, there will be a lot of change for the better. However, it will not be painless. We have to trust God above all, leaning not to our own understanding; yet we must search for information without being overwhelmed by it so that each of us fulfills our part. Never let fear be our guide. As far as the question of what to research, be led by your spirit. Research that which resonates strongest within you. It won’t be the same for everyone so sharing what we find is critical to an informed public. I think Donald Trump will be returned to the Presidency, but anyone who sets his/her hope on a date/month, etc., is asking for disappointment, and hasn’t learned anything over the past five years.
Carol S., that’s a well thought out comment. i quite agree
Great article Dave! Thank you for posting. I think a stumbling block for folks that haven’t started thinking for and trusting themselves is the inability to believe that people in power have lied to us. There’s this childlike response when challenged where you can see them thinking “these are doctors/people in government/law enforcement they wouldn’t ever lie-not about this etc”. They seem to dig their heels in on this very large sticking point. I suppose everything might crumbling down if they entertained the thought….a giant painful redpill!
Dave, Do you believe the Q plan is still in play or do you believe it failed when the election was lost. I have been through the darkness, believing the plan failed for months but recently came back around full circle to trusting that Q’s plan is still in play. The election had to be lost and the communist Byedone regime had to be allowed to take what appears to be control and destroy so much in such a short time to hopefully show the people, red pill some and get more on board. My only question now is: Will they wait till all of the audits are over and have a new election or is this possibly a distraction to something else in play? Military coup? Is Trump still really in control of what Biden is allowed to do as some others believe? Some say the underground dumbs have not all been cleaned out yet. Now with Byedone’s plan to door-to-door vax and with the soon rollout of a 3rd booster vax, which will surely cause even more health problems than the first 2, seems something has to happen pretty fast. Mike Lindell says Trump will return in August. Maybe they will use the EBS with “Delta variant cvd is out of control” as the reason to force all to stay at home, black out communications and use military/national guard to enforce quarantine while the final take-down of deep state occurs? Then the new news media will come on and re-educate the liberals about what is really truth? Different theories. That sounds pretty fantastical – doing that worldwide all at once? Well, God is in control. Is God done with America?
Also, some of these things make me uncomfortable: What about this “great reset” nesara/gesara? taking down the fed/central bank. and going to a new worldwide (?) currency system – digital? vaxes required to participate in buying/selling? beast system of revelation? if so, that’s not good – that’s globalism, communism. some Q folks are also into a lot of new age stuff. we are in the age of auqarius, thus the term dark to light, flipping satanic dark pedo stuff over to the light side, new age enlightenment uniting all religions as one. just another form of false salvation. satan also appears as an angel of light per the Bible. some say Trump is the reincarnated Saint Germain and worships apollo (on the ceiling of his Trump tower penthouse in murals.) His hair is like apollo’s. some talk about the cure all med beds that are coming. whatever happened to Jesus’ healing power? some of this bothers me as a Christian but nobody seems to have answers.
Mindy Hale –
When in doubt, stick with Scripture. We are told (over and over) not to fear, and not to worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. God promises to protect His righteous ones. Also, read Psalm 37 and Isaiah 45. They could have been written yesterday!
I am okay with not knowing what’s coming, but I do wonder if when it’s over someone will be able to tell us the whole story about what has been going on.
Thank you Dave
