Rule from the Shadows - The Psychology of Power - Part 1

Interesting documentary from StormCloudsGathering, covering such topics as propaganda, manipulation of public opinion, psychology of power and shadow government. After having watched it, it reinforced in my mind the importance of being an independent, critical thinker and a truth activist.

Given the propaganda we are inundated with on a daily basis it is more important than ever to do as the Scripture says and "Test everything. Hold on to the good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and to be like the men of Issachar who "understood the times" and knew what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32). To do this effectively we need knowledge and wisdom from God. Proverbs 9:10 says "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding".

Christians are to be holy non-conformists. Romans 12:2 tells us "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and prefect will".
