TOME 10 PART 141; WHEN TO OBSERVE VS WHEN TO ACT; PEACE, FORTITUDE AND GOING FULLMETAL

DAGARA PROVERB;

Peace is always optimal but as far as violence is concerned…Violence is only selfless when used in the service of others. When someone makes you a target…it is the time to show how much you can take but when another is made a target…it is the time to display how much you can give.

DAGARA PROVERB 2;

Faith without works is dead but at times certain problems can be solved better with the gift of discernment.

Scenario;

You hear people plotting against you, waiting to ambush you in a particular location. This is not the time to prove that Faith without works is dead. An inappropriate action can kill you. It is the time to use the gift of discernment and avoid the location where the ambush has been planned to be carried out.

Biblical Scenarios;

God did not tell the Israelites to battle the Egyptians at the Red Sea…rather he told them to be still and learn that he is God. As far as the Turbulent Waves Of The Ocean(Forces Of Disturbance), the Leviathan(Waves Of Internal Conflict) and Venomous Serpents(infiltrators) are concerned, it is better to be still and observe the bronze Serpent On the Cross than to take inappropriate actions that complicate the Scenario. Being still is different from inaction…it is not just about taking no actions but rather refusing to be disturbed by the conflicts around you.

SUB SCENARIO;

You hear that someone close to you is plotting against you…it is not the time to rush out and confront them without first understanding the full scenario…at times a hidden party might be attempting to stir conflict, that's what Venomous Serpents are about.

When the people of a certain town rejected Jesus…some apostles requested to summon Fire from the Heavens to annihilate the aggressors however Jesus rebuked them because that was not the time to demonstrate how great their Faith was but rather the time to utilize discernment. Jesus himself avoided certain locations where people were attempting to eliminate him before his time had arrived.

DAGARA PROVERB 3;

Fortitude is the best but if I had to weigh Cowardice and Recklessness on a Scale…it is far better to be a Coward than to be reckless. At least a Coward can tell what situations are beyond his capacity to handle.

DAGARA PROVERB 4;

It is foolish to let fear control you but even more foolish to believe that Fortitude is the elimination of Fear. Fear is a natural reaction that is the first to signal to you that something in your environment is out of place. Once you acknowledge that, Fortitude grants you the discernment needed to combat the object of your fears.

CONCLUSION;

Finally, master your Armour, the fact that the Armour protects particular parts of your body (pressure points) also means that there are particular parts of your body the Devil loves to exploit. These Points are;

Your Helmet to Protect Your Head - Wear your Helmet so that he doesn't fill your head with depressing thoughts Your Breastplate to defend your Heart - Wear your breastplate so that he doesn't exploit weaknesses in your heart. Your Shield to protect your Body - Wield your shield so you are not exposed to his fiery/poisonous darts/arrows. Your Sword to attack the Enemy - Wield your Sword so you don't just defend but can counterattack. Your Belt to expose falsehood - Your Belt prevents him from exploiting your ignorance. Your Boots to ensure you are always prepared – A good soldier is always prepared to be deployed to the battlefront at all times.

Now is the time to ask yourself, which part of your body is often open to attack and ensure there is no crack in your Armour. Your tendencies should give you a hint as to the part of your body the Enemy loves to attack and you will notice that most of his attacks flow towards that point. Once you are aware of this and know that it is in the nature of the enemy to exploit your weaknesses…know also that you have just gained the power to control his actions…it just means that you have just realized that the enemy is a hundred percent predictable…in as much as he believes that your tendencies make you predictable.

FINALLY;

If you are aware of your weaknesses, or the cracks in your armour know also that not all weaknesses are meant to be eliminated…a weakness that cannot be eliminated can at least be circumvented. If you cannot block an attack with your shield…don't be stupid enough to stand there and take an obvious hit…at least learn to evade and if you cannot evade…then at least learn to counterattack. I mean…invest your EXP Points wisely.
