Living Above the Fray: Escaping the Orphan System’s Trap

America is at war with itself—at least that’s what it looks like from the surface. Left vs. right. Republican vs. Democrat. Fox vs. CNN. Church vs. church. Blue Hair vs. Red Hat. Even sports fans are ripping each other apart like gladiators in digital arenas. But all of this chaos is just smoke from a deeper fire.

We’ve mistaken opinion for identity and outrage for conviction. But the real enemy isn’t the other political party, denomination, or worldview—it’s the orphan-making system that’s trained us to pick sides in a game designed to keep us distracted, divided, and disempowered.

The Orphan System: Division by Design

The orphan system is simple: it keeps people enslaved to comparison, fear, and belonging through conflict. It conditions us to think “If I’m not against them, I’ll never be accepted by my group.” It’s psychological warfare disguised as patriotism, faith, or even moral duty.

This system doesn’t care if you’re waving a Bible or a rainbow flag—it just wants you angry, reactive, and blind to truth. Because when you’re busy fighting each other, you’re not questioning who built the arena.

Every headline is engineered to poke the wound of identity:

“They’re coming for your rights.”
“They’re destroying our country.”
“They hate people like you.”

The more offended we become, the more obedient we are to the system. Offense is the leash that keeps us marching in circles, barking at shadows while our true authority rusts in the cage of fear.

From Religion to Politics—The Same Spirit

Look closely and you’ll see the same orphan spirit haunting both the church and the government.

In religion, people cling to denominations to feel “right.”
In politics, people cling to parties to feel “righteous.”

Different language. Same spirit. Same addiction to being seen, validated, and “on the winning team.”

The system needs enemies to survive. It feeds on outrage, turning humans into soldiers for ideologies they don’t even understand. The devil doesn’t have to destroy you—he just has to distract you long enough to keep you divided.

The Matrix Isn’t a Movie—It’s a Mindset

If you’ve ever felt like you’re watching a bad play where both actors are reading the same script, you’re not crazy. You’re just waking up.

The left wing and the right wing are still part of the same bird—and that bird doesn’t fly for freedom. It flies for control. Both sides are managed opposition in a much bigger theater designed to keep the masses emotional, reactive, and dependent on the system’s next “savior.”

Evangelicals worship political leaders as messiahs. Progressives worship ideologies as gods. Both are building golden calves out of broken men and false promises.

The matrix isn’t out there—it’s between our ears. It’s the programming that teaches us what to think instead of how to think. It’s why people defend lies as truth and call bondage “belief.”

And here’s the truth—everyone is right to be suspicious of the system. You should be. Because there is a real game being played, and most Americans are the pawns on its board. But being awake to the game is not enough. You can see through it all and still get trapped by fear, pride, or distraction.
The only way to navigate the times we’re living in is to stay close to the Father’s voice—daily. Stop getting caught up in social media rants and start leaning into the Holy Spirit for wisdom and direction. The system thrives on noise, but Heaven speaks through stillness.

Those Who Choose to Stay Stuck

Let’s be honest: some people don’t want freedom. They want comfort. They want the illusion of control that comes with choosing a side. They want to feel “right,” even if it keeps them small.

You can’t force awakening on someone who’s married to their outrage.
You can only live free enough that your peace exposes their prison.

But for those with ears to hear—it’s time to rise above the fray. To stop fighting from within the system and start living from a higher Kingdom.

Rising Above the Fray

Jesus lived above the political and religious chaos of His time. He saw Rome’s corruption and the Pharisees’ hypocrisy—but He refused to play their game. He didn’t side with the system; He revealed the system.

That’s what living above the fray looks like. It’s choosing to see beyond headlines, labels, and emotional manipulation. It’s remembering that Heaven’s government doesn’t swing left or right—it reigns from within.

When you live as a son or daughter, not an orphan, you stop reacting to what everyone else is fighting about. You start creating instead of complaining. You start carrying peace into chaos. You start revealing truth instead of defending opinion.

Final Thought

If you can see through the noise, you’ve already been chosen to live above it. The world doesn’t need another opinion; it needs evidence of another Kingdom.

So rise above the fray. Step out of the arguments. Unplug from the outrage.
You weren’t made to survive the system—you were born to expose it.
