✨ Those Who Walk With Jesus — ✨
“It Is Written…”

📝 Their Message (Summary)
The post begins with Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago—a chilling record of how millions of innocent people were imprisoned, broken, and destroyed under Stalin’s regime. The author notices something deeper: the very methods used to torment prisoners—humiliation, confusion, intimidation, sleeplessness, hunger, lies, manipulation—are the same methods Satan uses against us in spiritual warfare.

Like the Soviets who didn’t know the law, we too often don’t know the law of God—the scriptures. And so, we sign false agreements with the enemy: “I’m worthless,” “I’ll never be free,” “God won’t hear me.” These lies become spiritual contracts binding our hearts in captivity.

But Jesus showed us the way out: He fought temptation not with arguments, not with emotion, but with the Word. Each time Satan tempted Him in the wilderness, He answered, “It is written…” And with every declaration of scripture, the adversary was pushed back until angels came to minister to Him.

The post closes with a plea: awaken to the battle. Prayer is where the war is won. Scripture is your weapon. Agreements with lies can be broken in Jesus’ name. And the law of God—when spoken and believed—shakes the gates of hell.

🔥 My Reflection
This post is urgent and practical. It names the enemy’s tactics plainly, and then gives the exact blueprint Jesus Himself used to resist him. The parallel between Stalin’s interrogations and Satan’s temptations is sobering but so true—our enemy seeks the same thing: to wear us down until we surrender.

But here’s the breakthrough: the Word is not just history—it’s a living sword (Hebrews 4:12). When you speak it in faith, you are reminding both heaven and hell what God has already decreed. And when you pray it, chains break.

The line that echoes loudest: “By knowing what is written in the scriptures and then using it to combat the lies he tells you, you will have angels come and minister to you.” That’s it. That’s the promise.

🕊️ The Invitation

  • Identify the lies you’ve believed about yourself.

  • Renounce them in prayer—break the agreement with Jesus as your Advocate.

  • Replace them with what is written—scripture that tells you the truth about who God is and who you are.

📖 Scriptures to Ponder

  • “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4

  • “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4

  • “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” — Psalm 119:11

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

-
INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
