Hamas violent indoctrination of children

I am sure we all have heard about this already, but I found this video shocking to watch, especially with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star playing in the background.

Obama to be charged by the World Court?

A world court system (The International Criminal Tribunal) was established through Bill Clinton’s initiative in 1997. This is the same court that charged Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of Serbia and Yugoslavia,  with crimes against humanity, issued a warrant for the arrest of the president of Sudan, Omar Al-Bashir, in March of this year, and now wants to charge US soldiers  (and by implication its president) with crimes against humanity in Afghanistan.

This video touches on the relevant subject of the establishment of a One World Government.

Mandatory Elementary School Homosexual Indoctrination

To say that this is disturbing would be a VAST understatement!

What is love?

These are words that prick the heart: “I’ll put you (Jesus) in front of me so everybody can see my love. This (Jesus) is my love.”

 

Treasuring CHRIST above ALL other things – Can you do it?

I must confess that I am not there yet. I know I’m not. I’d be lying if I said I was. Yet, ” Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,  I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Hipocrisy at its best: Greenpeace ages world leaders in controversial ads

Would you believe that after Climategate, they still come up with these hypocritical ads? It is truly unbelievable! “We could have stopped catastrophic climate change…” (clue the violins). WHAT CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE CHANGE? DON’T YOU KNOW IT’S BEEN PROVEN THAT THE WHOLE THING HAS BEEN A SHAM ALL ALONG??? Ahhhhhggggg!!!!!!

The environmental activism group Greenpeace, no stranger to controversy, is at it again. In conjunction with the start of the U.N Climate Change Conference in Denmark, the group has teamed up withTckTckTck to plaster the Copenhagen airport with advertisements featuring drastically altered images of famous world leaders participating in the summit. Though some industry observers have labeled the campaign”lame” and “dour,” the group says the reaction to the ads thus far has been “phenomenal.”

The aforementioned posters feature the faces of U.S. President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, just to name a few, as they would possibly look in 2020. Next to each leader’s image is an apology from the future that reads, “I’m sorry. We could have stopped catastrophic climate change… We didn’t.” Toby Cotton, the writer of the ads, said his intention was to make “world leaders think twice about the consequences of their action or inaction now.”

When asked by Yahoo News! if the ads have generated any reaction from the various world leaders or their camps, a Washington, D.C.-based Greenpeace spokesperson said, “We look forward to the reactions of heads of state as they arrive,” adding that the ads have been “quite popular” with the general public so far.

Muslims in 21st century America: Political correctness allows rampant intimidation

This is an almost unbelievable, yet true account of what happened in a Houston bound airplane on Nov. 17th, and how political correctness taken to an unreasonable extreme can bring about situations that are just so utterly unthinkable, such as a book store honoring the man who flew one the planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11. Do not believe me? Read on:

Dry run for another 9/11, Muslims in America honoring their guy who drove the airplane into the WTC towers on 9/11.

A Muslim book store in Houston, Texas closed on 9/11 in order to celebrate one of the hijackers that drove an airplane into the World Trade Center towers. Harwin Drive is a street in southwest Houston lined with shops that sell right off the boat Chinese junk and knock-offs. Muslims run the majority of shops. A Houston resident said, “Today I went to the Harwin Central Mall to pick up some crystals. The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area had this sign posted on their door. It read, “We are closed today September 11, 2009 in order to commemorate Imam Ali.” I couldn’t stay in the building it made me so sick.

Imam Ali piloted one of the planes into the World Trade Towers on 9/11/01. Thus, we feature Muslim-Americans that celebrate his actions annually while we mourn our 3,000 dead at the same time.

This story occurred on November 17, 2009 as reported by FOX NEWS. Below, you may read the story from the man who reported it as an eyewitness:

“One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father,” said Tedd Patruna. “On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a Air Tran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.”

Here is what actually happened.

“I was in 1st class coming home,” Patruna said. “Eleven Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. Two sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.

“The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, two younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. They are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said, “Shut up infidel dog!” She tried to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin. This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say “I got your back.” I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said, “You WILL go sit down or you WILL be thrown from this plane!” As I “led” him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, “You WILL do the same!” He protested but adrenaline was flowing now and he was going to go.

The pilots taxied the plane back to the terminal.

“As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and three TSA agents and four police officers entered. My new Texan friend and I were told to cease and desist for they had this under control. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all 11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.

“We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happened, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic. The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal. She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston. The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent “We and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. Five minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.

“Again…..this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked “What the hell is going on?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. I said, “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, whose time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!” And I heard a voice behind me say “so am I”. Then everyone behind us started to get up and say the same. Within two minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had five hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6 pm. I got here at 12:30 am.”

Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston.

“If this wasn’t a dry run, I don’t know what one is,” said Petruna. “The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it. I’m telling this to you because I want you to know….The threat is real. I saw it with my own eyes.”

As we import more and more Muslims into America, they will congeal into a powerful political, religious, linguistic, cultural and balkanized force. They repeat the same in every country they colonize.

We can expect those suicide bombers from Iraq and Afghanistan to morph into immigrant-citizens or children born of immigrants to begin blowing up malls, theaters and sports contests in the United States. It’s only a matter of time. It’s already happening with such examples as the “Fort Dix Six, Fort Hood’s Major Nidal Hasan, American born Muslim Najibullah Zazi in Denver last month, and a half dozen others from New York to Dallas, Texas.

“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of it continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities and languages.” President Teddy Roosevelt, 1908

Unfortunately, we’re doing it to ourselves. Apathy + tolerance= dying virtues of the American civilization.

In defense of Sarah Palin and conservative women

A refreshing article by a Christian brother making a tribute to all conservative, real women in America.

By Lloyd Marcus

Article found a: http://www.newswithviews.com/Marcus/lloyd102.htm

I was in Texas performing at a tea party rally (singer/songwriter of the American Tea Party Anthem). While waiting for my wife, I wandered into the hotel pub. It was Lady’s Night. A cowboy practically had a line of women waiting to dance with him. He held them firm, but gentle. He confidently lead and they gleefully followed. Each knowing she was in good hands. I, along with others, by the looks on their faces, thoroughly enjoyed watching him dance with the women. Why did we enjoy it? It represented the way men should be and how women want them to be. Despite what the radical feminists say, women want men to be strong and confident without being jerks. It is called Biology.

Is chivalry dead? Have we conservative men allowed political correctness to prevent us from treating women the way we instinctively know we should? When my three brothers and I started dating, my dad instructed us. “You take good care and return her home the way you found her.” Following dad’s instruction made us feel good about ourselves. We felt like men.

Sarah Palin and son Trig

Unfortunately, it appears even some on our side (conservatives) have bought into the media’s “she is not too bright” portrayal of Palin. When Obama says we have 57 states and other faux pas, his sycophant media circle the wagons around him by saying he is tired or simply misspoke. Meanwhile, every word out of Palin’s mouth is viewed from the template that she is stupid. Who amongst us could withstand such harsh scrutiny.

Well, I am standing up for my awesome conservative sister, Gov. Palin. She has the right stuff to get our country back on track. I love how Palin boldly, without apology, challenges the concept of government run health care, the global warming/climate change scam and her desire to drill for oil to make us energy independent. Talk about backbone. Could Sarah Palin be the reincarnation of John Wayne and Ronald Reagan? No, I do not believe in reincarnation; just having a little fun. My point is despite what the snobby elites, conservative and liberal, think, Sarah Palin is a powerful force to be reckoned with and is great for America.

We the people are so sick of mamby pamsy “middle of the road speak” focus group tested candidates. “Don’t say this because you will offend this crowd and don’t say that because you will offend the other.” For crying out loud, just say what you mean and mean what you say. Show us voters who you are. These are the kind of candidates we voters are longing and tea partying for. And this is why Sarah “what you see is what you get” Palin is a rock star!

I believe strong women inspire men to be strong. They are not offended when we open the door for them, carry their heavy packages and mind our conversation around them. Or has such behavior from men become too “Andy and Mayberry” for our secular progressive crude culture? Trust me, I am not a prude, but radial feminists have diminished women’s power in our society. I was raised a real man treats women with a level of respect. Nobody is allowed to “dis” your momma, wife or your sister.

Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air; a woman using the God given power of her femininity to be a mom, a wife and govern a state. Awesome. I would be honored to say, “Yes, Madam President.”

Not only is the Left committed to keeping women in their place, but blacks as well; all the while claiming to desire progress and liberation for both. Blacks who achieve success without liberal programs and intervention are beaten down and dragged back to the Left’s government dependency plantation. Such uppity independent blacks are strapped in a chair, deprived bathroom privileges and shown videos 24/7 of Sharpton, Jackson and hypocritical rich America hating rappers. The deprogramming message, “America sucks! Racist! Sexist! Homophobic! Liberal democrats are your saviors!”

The Left is equally intolerant of independent thought coming from women. The Left deceptively call their pro abortion a pro choice movement. If choice is their issue, why are radical feminists so offended when a woman chooses not to have an abortion? They have a weird anti male (particularly white male) and family agenda. Outrageously, a feminist leader said “all sex is rape.” These angry bitter women have a distorted view of the world.

Then along comes Sarah Palin; happily married, a happy mom and effective governor. Feminists should regard Sarah Palin as their hero; a shining example of women’s liberation enjoying success in both words, family and career. But instead, the Left seeks to destroy her. Palin is too happy, too good, too pretty, too effective, and most intolerable, too powerful.

I wish to encourage my fellow conservative men to display a little John Wayne type testosterone and defend our feisty conservative women folks. As I am a conservative singer/songwriter, I have penned, performed and recorded a song honoring conservative women titled, “Our Girls.” Along with nationally known women like Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingram, Michelle Malkin, my song is a tribute to all my patriot sisters that are fighting for the cause of freedom, liberty and conservative principles. Please give “Our Girls” a listen. I promise, it will make you smile.

There is a God

I posted a link to this video in a response to some comments on another recent post called “Is Atheism a religion or a fraud?” When I watched it again, I just had to post it here also, as this song is just so beautiful, and so powerful, and I think Carman really expressed so accurately that there is in fact a God, a statement that to us, Christians, is a given, a no brainer, yet to so many out there seems so utterly unacceptable.

Know this, my friend, whoever you are who consider yourself an Atheist, I love you, and I am praying for you. God has placed a burden in my heart for your souls, and He will be manifesting Himself to you in the days to come, as He answers the prayers of His people.

These are the lyrics to Carman’s song:

93 million miles from the blistering surface of the sun hangs the planet earth. A rotating sphere perfectly suspended in the center of the universe. The ultimate creation from an infinite mind. An unbelievably intricate complex design. A supernatural testimony, an irrefutable sign that there is a God.

The size, position and angle of the earth is a scientific phenomenon to see. A few degrees closer to the sun we’d disintegrate, a few degrees further we’d freeze. The axis of the earth is titled at a perfect 23 degree angle and it’s no mistake that it is. This allows equal global distribution to the rays of the sun making it possible for the food chain to exist.

Or take for example the combination of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere we breathe every day. It just happens to be the exact mix that life needs to prosper, it doesn’t happen on any other planet that way.

You see, the Bible says the invisible things of God are seen through His creation, to believe this is not hair. If there’s a design, there’s a designer, if there’s a plan, there’s a planner and if there’s a miracle, there is a God.

CHORUS:
There is a hope, there is a light
There is an answer to all answers
There is a flame that burns in the night
And I know, I know, I know there is a God

The Scripture says the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of His hands. If we allow our minds to drink in all the truth that surrounds the truth that just surrounds us, creation itself with help us understand.

Did you know the moon controls the tides, it’s the maid that cleans the oceans. Even the waves don’t crash the shores in vain. The tides drag impurities from the depths of the sea, it’s nature’s constraint recycling chain.

It simply boggles the mind to think that the stars will rotate with such exact precision that it’s true. That the atomic clock with an error factor of less than three seconds per millennium is set by the way we move.

Though they silently orbit, the sun, the moon, the stars are like celestial evangelists above. Who circle the earth every 24 hours shouting in every languages that there is a God. Atheism is the wedge under the foundation of our faith, trying to topple our relationship with Christ. When the fool said in his heart, there is no God, he rejects the truth God painted on the canvas of the night. Atheism has never created an artistic masterpiece, never healed a fatal disease or calmed a fear. Atheism has never still given answers to our existence, peace to a troubled mind or even dried a tear.

For it’s God who created heaven and earth and flung the stars in space and breathed in the handful of dirt and it became a man. It’s God who sits on the circle of the earth and measures the mountains in a scale, and holds the seven seas in the palm of His hand. It’s God who sent His only begotten Son to the cross of Calvary to save our souls from Hell and the grave. It’s God who creates, God who delivers, God who heals and who is worthy of a thunderous ovation of praise.

CHORUS (2x)

There is a God, there is a God
And I know, I know, I know there is a God

We are one with our brothers and sisters in Christ

I am so glad that I watched this video from “Voice of the Martyrs”! Looking at the beautiful faces of these dear brothers and sisters, and listening to everything they have had to endure for the sake of truth, makes me feel ashamed of my comfortable life, and even more so of any complaint I might ever have uttered. Pray for these beloved brethren, pray fervently for them to receive relief, deliverance, and grace from the Father.

Hey, kids! Come watch a dramatization of your mom’s death by suicide bombing!

Palwatch from YouTube gives us this:

This is absolutelly startling! This is the “religion of peace” our President is so fond of!

“Suicide bomber’s children shown re-enactment of mother’s death on Hamas TV kids’ show,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik for Palestinian Media Watch, July 9:

The Hamas TV children’s program Tomorrow’s Pioneers produced a special broadcast in which the two young children of a female suicide terrorist were invited to the TV studio to watch a video re-enactment of their mother’s suicide bombing. The terrorist, Reem Riyashi, killed four Israelis in a suicide bombing in 2004.Calling the terrorist a “Martyr,” the bear puppet and star of the program, Nassur, introduces Riyashi’s children to the other children in the studio:

“[Our guests are] the children of the Shahida [Martyr] Reem Riyashi.”

Then Muhammad and Duha, the young son and daughter of Riyashi, together with the children in the studio, watch a music video re-enactment of their mother’s suicide bombing. While the video is shown, the TV camera shows close-ups of Riyashi’s children as they stare at the screen images of their mother’s bombing and death.

The re-enactment:

An actress representing Riyashi is shown preparing a bomb in front of a child actress representing her daughter. The daughter follows her mother around and sings:

“Mommy, what are you carrying in your arms instead of me?
A toy or a present for me?”

Mother Riyashi does not answer and soon is seen leaving home while the daughter sings:

“Come back quickly, Mommy.”

KB: This little girl had hoped that her mother had a present or a toy for her. She wants her mommy to come home quickly. Instead, the cold-blooded mom says nothing and gives her nothing, only an orphan’s future. The little girl does not yet know that her mom will never come home again, not because she cannot, but because she chose to abandon her children and make some Jewish children motherless and fatherless by killing their parents; who knows, maybe she even killed some Jewish children too.

The actress-daughter then sees the TV report of her mother’s suicide bombing, and sings to her dead mother:

“Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands.
Only now I know what was more precious than us.”

KB: Only now I know what was more precious than us? That’s just the spirit of Islam, folks: REJECTION. That was the spirit of Ishmael, as he saw that God chose Isaac for the blessing and not him. And that’s why they hate Isaac’s children to this day. They are JEALOUS and feel rejected.

As the daughter sings this revelation in the re-enactment video, the TV camera in the studio shifts for a moment to a close-up of Riyashi’s son staring at the video of his mother. Then the camera goes back to the video, showing his mother with the Israeli soldiers, who all suddenly disappear in the smoke of the massive explosion of her bomb.

The broadcast of the video re-enactment stops before the end of the full music video, and the camera returns to the children in the studio.

Child hostess Saraa summarizes for the children and viewers:

“These are the children of the Shahida [Martyr], the heroic Jihad fighter who sacrificed all that she had for the sake of her homeland. She cared less about her own flesh and blood, and for their sake, she sacrificed [herself] for Allah…

We say to the occupier, that we will continue in the footsteps of the Shahida, the Jihad fighter Reem Riyashi, until we liberate our homeland from your hands, usurper.”

 KB: THe occupier? The usurper? That’s a LIE! God gave that land to the children of Israel, and now that they have been restored to the land, He will keep them there forever whether the media, the world, the Arabs, Palestinians, the intellectuals, B.H. Obama and anyone else like it or not!

PMW note: In the full music video re-enactment, the daughter promises to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a suicide terrorist, and the video ends as the daughter opens her mother’s drawer and picks up a stick of dynamite. The full video has been broadcast regularly on Hamas TV from 2007 through 2009.

Two years ago, Hamas TV interviewed terrorist Reem Riyashi’s two children about their mother’s suicide attack, discussing with the children how many Jews their mother had killed.
Click here to view the interview with Riyashi’s children.

The following is the transcript of the 2007 interview with Riyashi’s children on Hamas TV:

Interviewer: “We are now going to the two children of Reem Riyashi, the Martyrdom-seeker, and Jihad fighter [mother of] Duha and Muhammad.
Duha, do you love Mommy? Where did Mommy go?”
Duha: “To Paradise”
Interviewer: “What did Mommy do?”
Duha: “Became a Shahida [Martyr].”
Interviewer: “She killed Jews, right?
How many did she kill, Muhammad?”
Muhammad: “What?”
Interviewer: “How many Jews did she kill?”
Muhammad: “Five.”
[Al Aqsa TV (Hamas), March 8, 2007]

KB: The children know full well how many people their mother killed, and are taught to be proud of it! That’s sickening!

Nicer than God

Before anybody says that, let me explain that I’m not promoting rudeness or anything. It’s just that the extreme niceness we’ve learned to practise at all times in Sunday School has taken a toll on the unsaved world, as it has stripped the world of a whole lot of truth which we just won’t say because we don’t want to offend anybody! We need to be politically correct, tolerate everyone, they say. The Jesus we see in the Bible was not always nice nor did He tolerate every kind of behavior or sugarcoat the truth for the sake of “not offending anyboy.” He spoke the truth, and yes, sometimes to make a point he was rude and forward. But God is love, so He did all that in love and out of love, because rebuke is part of love. That’s how we discipline our children if we don’t want them to turn out to be sociopaths, isnt’ it?

The article bellow is by Bob Enyart. It makes for an excellent Bible study. It is pretty long but very, very good.

Nicer Than God

Christians today are nicer than God.

Or at least they are trying to be so. In the Church there is a standard of niceness that Jesus failed to reach while on earth. Comparing God’s attitude and behavior with that of the Church today shows that believers are far more polite, tolerant, understanding and respectful to the wicked than God is.

The Church is also less offensive, rude and sarcastic than God’s men in the Bible were. And no Christian would ever be caught dead mocking the wicked, as God’s men in the Bible sometimes did.

Bob Enyart Live is an occasionally harsh, always confrontational, news-talk show. The program does not cater to what Christians expect, but to what non-Christians will listen to. And it turns out that non-Christians will listen to straight talk, including appropriate harshness and offensiveness. Yes, sometimes the show is intentionally offensive. But then, so was Jesus.

Jesus was offensive. Most people were offended by him. The proof for John the Baptist that Jesus was the Christ was that the blind see, the lame walk and the majority are “offended” by Him (Mat. 11:2-19). As Jesus said, “Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me” (Mat. 11:6; Luke 7:23). In Galilee, Jesus did not plead with his neighbors to understand Him when “they were offended at Him” (Mat. 13:57; Mark 6:3). If unbelievers are offended, so be it (cf. Luke 14:3-4; John 5:8-16). “Shake off the dust from your feet” (Mat. 10:14). But alas, that is no longer a Christian attitude.

Christ’s apostles asked Him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard [Your] saying?” (Mat. 15:12). What is the accepted Christian response today after an offense is taken? Quick, apologize! Ask for forgiveness! Tell them you are sorry. How did Jesus respond? He said to ignore the complaints of the unbelievers: “Let them alone. They are blind,” (Mat. 15:14). Today, many Christians condemn Christ’s attitude as unloving.

Jesus promised his followers, “you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended” (Mat. 24:9-10). When a Canadian started his call with a vicious, “Bob, I hate you…” The immediate and (super-) natural response was “Cool. Great! Because Jesus taught that ‘if they hated Me, they will hate you’” (see John 15:18-19; 17:14; Mat. 10:22; Luke 21:17). Today Christians think if the world hates them, they have failed. The reverse should be true. It is not that a Christian wants to be hated; it is simply an occupational hazard.

Jesus is the Rock. Most believers are unaware, however, that Jesus used this metaphor to issue a graphic threat against the unrepentant. For Christ said that on whom that Rock “falls, it will grind him to powder” (Mat. 21:44; Luke 20:18). Even the Father said that the Son is the “rock of offense” (Isa. 8:14; Rom. 9:33; 1 Pet. 2:8). Offending unbelievers is Christlike in the deepest sense.

God utterly forbid drinking blood (Lev. 3:17; 17:14). Israelites, from priests, to Pharisees, to average citizens, were at least superficially obsessed with “keeping the law.” Thus when Jesus said whoever “drinks My blood has eternal life,” (John 6:54) He was being extremely offensive, and intentionally so. Further, He made no effort whatsoever to clarify Himself. Rather, He let the offense work its ministry. Jesus knew He even offended His own followers. As He said to “His disciples” immediately afterward, “does this offend you?” (John 6:61).

Bob Enyart Live ‘turns off’ some believers, but more non-believers ‘turn it on’ than any other Christian show in a recent Nielsen ratings report. Why are so many folks, including unbelievers, tuning in to a show that some have called rude? Perhaps it is because the loving but mushy, “Brother, bless you for calling,” is missing from the program. Many Christians expect that approach, which is an absolute turn off to 95% of the population. That surely is one reason heathens do not listen to Christians. There is only so much niceness a person can stand. And all along, everyone thought the unbelievers were tuning out because they were unspiritual. But it turns out that many tune out Christians because we are unspiritual, or overly spiritual.

Nielsen TV ratings for July 1996 show that Bob Enyart Live is able to draw a larger audience than NBC’s Conan O’Brien on at least a couple nights each week. Nielsen compiled this data from the Notre Dame TV market in South Bend, Indiana which is one of the top 100 markets in America. At times, the program also outperformed Tom Snyder on CBS. The show also did well against Entertainment Tonight and Fox’s Northern Exposure and Married with Children, and it blew away Masterpiece Theater on PBS.

Being rough with the wicked does not automatically turn off unbelievers. An Indianapolis Star columnist, Steve Hall, wrote (Dec. 1, 1994): “But he’s cheerful. Oddly, despite the rigidity of his views, Enyart does not come across as a dour, puritanical type.” A harsh style is difficult for more sensitive Christians to appreciate. However the biblical approach to communicating with the world includes not only compassion, but harshness as well.

The Bible sometimes ministers through ridicule, humor, sarcasm and even mocking. For example, God mocked the Midianites when He defeated them after sending a nightmare to them that they were being attacked by a loaf of bread (Jud. 7:13-14). Elijah, just prior to executing 450 prophets of Baal, “mocked them” as the Bible says, telling them to yell louder to their god so that Baal could hear their prayers since he was either on a trip, sleeping or in the restroom (Hebrew, “private place,” 1 Ki. 18:27; and 2 Ki. 6:8-20).

When the Ad Council airs anti-drug public service announcements (PSAs) that mock “pot heads on Jeopardy” who cannot even remember their names, they are not motivated out of hatred, but out of love. Ridicule can and does save lives. “Why do you think they call it dope?” Ad Council spots run on Christian stations and get no criticism for being unloving or unkind. Why is it that Christians never rise up against the effort to stigmatize drug users? If a pagan brings peer pressure against “pot heads,” that is accepted. Let a believer, however, use mockery to stigmatize fornication or sodomy, and the Church rises in condemnation. God, however, does not condemn those who “rebuke the wicked” (see Prov. 24:25).

God mocked Jeroboam, who “stretched out his hand from the altar” and ordered the prophet arrested. “Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself” (1 Ki. 13:4). God mocked the Philistines when they found Dagon their god “fallen on its face before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again” (1 Sam. 5:3). The next morning they found Dagon toppled again, but this time he had lost his head (1 Sam. 5:4). God mocked the idolaters who cut down a branch, and with half of it they make a god to worship and with the other half, they make a fire to cook lunch (Is. 44:14-17). Another carves an idol of stone and says to it “wake up” (Hab. 2:18-19).

When a harsh word is needed God uses a harsh word. This is true in the Old and New Testaments. Herod beheaded John the Baptist for “rebuking” the king for “all the evils which Herod had done” (Luke 3:19) and for condemning the tetrarch for incestuous adultery (Mat. 14:3-4; Mark 6:17-18; Lev. 18:16; 20:21) with “Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife” (Luke 3:19). Jesus warned of “the leaven of Herod” (Mark 8:15). When notified that “Herod wants to kill You,” (Luke 13:31), Christ responded without respect, “Go, tell that fox, ‘I cast out demons’…” (Luke 13:32).

The especially harsh term hypocrite is used in the Gospels twenty-three times. Christ often insulted the scribes, Pharisees and lawyers. He even called the Pharisees blind guides (Mat. 23:16, 24) and sons of hell (Mat. 23:15). Jesus spoke unkind words unacceptable today. He said to Peter “Get behind me, Satan” (Mat. 16:23). He told the Pharisees “You are of your father the devil” (John 8:44), and made a whip and cleared “thieves” from the temple (Mat. 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-17; Luke 19:45-46; John 2:14:15).

Gentiles (as symbols of the godless) and sodomites are called “dogs” in the Bible (Mat. 7:6; 15:26; Deut. 23:17-18; Ps. 22:16; 59:5-6; Phil. 3:2; Rev. 22:15). And Jesus was harsh (not only to the Pharisees, as some believers wrongly assume but) to all the unrepentant (see His use of “hypocrite”). Jesus instructs Christians to not “cast your pearls before swine” (Mat. 7:6). Yet the silly dilemma now is, “Who could Christ possibly have meant by that, for we are too loving, tolerant, polite and respectful to refer to any human being by that mean-spirited term.”

In the King James Version, the seductive women among the people of God are worse than “whores” (Ezek. 16:33). That crude term appears in the Bible dozens of times. The men who use those women are “whoremongers” (1 Tim. 1:10; Heb. 13:4; Rev. 21:8; 22:15), which is the most raw term in the English language to describe promiscuous men. God describes other sinners in terms of filthy excrement (Isa. 64:6) and even worse (2 Ki. 18:27; Isa. 36:12). Sinners truly are repulsive, regardless of how men may try to sanitize them.

The Bible does not say, “Hate the sin, love the sinner.” It says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Prov. 23:7). And that God hates “all workers of iniquity” (Ps 5:5). “The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man” (Ps 5:6). Also “the wicked and the one who loves violence [God] hates.” (Ps 11:5). Further, “The face of the Lord is against those who do evil” (Ps 34:16). God “loves righteousness and hate[s] wickedness (Ps. 45:7).

There are six things “the Lord hates,” including “a heart that devises wicked plans… a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren” (Prov. 6:16-19). And God reminds us “All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them. Because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them from My house; I will love them no more” (Ho 9:13). As Moses wrote of God, “if you do not obey Me… My soul shall abhor you” (Lev. 26:27-30).

Even in the New Testament, Paul wrote, “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil” (Rom. 12:9) introducing the concept of hypocritical love. What is hypocritical love? “Should you… love those who hate the Lord? Therefore the wrath of the Lord is upon you” (2 Chr. 19:2). Warning the wicked of the coming judgment is harsh, but is a necessary component of acceptable love. A love that is not hypocritical rebukes and condemns, and then points the way to God.

God uses different methods to communicate the Gospel to people at different depths of depravity. At times, a Christian can pray with an unbeliever. At other times, a believer might ridicule the unrepentant in hopes of waking him up. Painful communication though is in no way reserved just for non-Christians.

Paul uses dripping sarcasm telling the Corinthians that they do not need his counsel because they are full, rich, wise, strong and distinguished. They are even like kings, and all that without Paul’s help (1 Cor. 4:8, 10). Sarcasm stigmatizes destructive behavior and prods people toward righteousness (1 Cor. 4:14). Paul also fell short of today’s compassionate Christianity when he wrote that the government should minister terror, wrath and vengeance against the evildoer and that the sword should be used against them (Rom. 13:3-4). The Apostle also erred by today’s standards calling unbelievers fools (Rom. 1:22) and the Galatians fools (Gal. 3:1, 3). Incidentally, Jesus also called men fools (Mat. 23:17, 19; 25:2-8; Luke 11:40; 12:20) when appropriate but never “without a cause” (Mat. 5:22) according to His teaching. As King David wrote, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Ps. 53:1). Thus, atheists are fools and it is cruel to withhold this knowledge from them.

Christians enjoy quoting, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” However many shudder at the rest of the verse. For thus says the Lord, “Every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn” (Isa. 54:17). Jesus taught that human beings will condemn the wicked. “The men of Nineveh will rise in the judgment with this generation and condemn it” (Mat. 12:41). Jesus said, “For God so loved the world.” Then two verses later He added, “but he who does not believe is condemned already” (John 3:18). By today’s Christian standard, no unbeliever would know that he is condemned, because most believers will not communicate this vital truth. John 3:16 is nice. John 3:18 is not nice.

Some have called Bob Enyart Live rude. Jesus was rude. He was asked a question that goes to the very heart of His ministry. “Who gave you this authority?” (Mat. 21:23). Within the answer to that question lies eternal life, yet Christ was not inclined to answer them. Rather, He asked them a question, which they failed to answer (Mat. 21:24-27). Therefore He said to them that neither would He answer their question (Mat. 21:27; see also Luke 22:67 and John 12:34-36).

When people misunderstood Jesus He often made no effort to explain Himself. Quite to the contrary, He often purposely let His hearers misconstrue His words (John 2:18-22). Jesus let people walk away in unbelief without running after them. The Bible does not record Him as saying, “I’m sorry, did you misunderstand me?” He is the “stumbling block,” and if men wanted to stumble, He let them. For those who want to hang themselves, He invites them (Rev. 22:11). Jesus made the rope available. He is that rope (Rom. 9:33).

Jesus was a man, not a girl. Christianity today has been emasculated. Men and women are different and they communicate differently. Women are softer and nicer than men, and thank God that they are. However, men are not supposed to be women. Today, Christian ministers are expected to behave like women. That foolishness is a death sentence for many unbelievers. Strength, confidence, conviction and tough love appeal to those who are searching. Thus Jesus is a beacon to real seekers. But for those wanting to get lost, Christ is like a street sign that has been reversed by a troublemaker.

Today we are way nicer than God. It is tragic. This spiritual plateau that the Church has reached conveniently reduces the chances for confrontation. Nice people rarely rebuke, judge, confront, accuse or condemn. Nice people have less stress. It seems the only ones that Christians are quick to judge and condemn are fellow believers who judge and condemn the wicked. Go figure.

God of Retribution – God of Division

My dear brethren, I want to convey to you that we are living in unique times. We are living at the end times. A time that Jesus said would be unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be equaled again, agreeing with Daniel, who prophesied that this would be a time such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until now. There has never been a time like this, nor shall there ever be again. It is a unique opportunity for the church to lift the torch of God’s truth higher than ever. We are called to be watchmen on the walls, blowing the trumpet of warning so that those who will listen might be saved.

But saved from what? That is the point of this message. Those who believe and repent shall be saved from God’s coming wrath. Our Lord Jesus is coming to earth again, but this time He will not come as a suffering lamb, but a conquering lion, a fierce warrior king who will come to fulfill two main purposes: (1) deliver his people – the blood washed nation made up of those who remained connected to the vine, who had bought enough of the oil of His presence for their lamps, who were found wearing the white garments God Himself has provided, those who did not prostitute themselves with worldly idols, those whose hearts were fully His; and (2) judge the wicked – those who have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who have suppressed the truth by their wickedness, haters of God, who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness, those who have claimed to be wise, but are fools, who are filled with all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity, and who not only practice those evil deeds but who also approve of others who do the same.

The Bible says that the Lord is a God of retribution, that in the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; He will soon pour it out, and all the wicked of the earth shall drink it down to its very dregs. Church, this is the message we need to be preaching today. This is the evangelism, not only to the unchurched, but also to all the church folks who are sleeping, oblivious to the signs around them that the Lord’s day is at hand. It is time for prophets to rise who will be bold enough to preach a message like those of John the Baptist and Jeremiah, “Repent lest ye perish, for the kingdom of God is at hand!” Shallow evangelistic messages that stop at “Receive Jesus in your heart” and “Jesus loves you” WON’T DO!!!

The Lord has laid in my heart that He is getting ready to draw down a sharp line to separate the sheep from the goats. It is time to preach “Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve,” for the window of grace won’t always remain open.

While we hear a cry for “Unity!” and “ Peace!” everywhere, our Lord Himself has said He has come to the earth not to bring peace, but FIRE and DIVISION. The following video has a powerful message on this subject that I’d like to share with you. It is based on the text from Luke 12:49-56:

“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!  But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!  Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.  For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.  Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is.  And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There will be hot weather’; and there is.  Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? “

Listen carefully. It will lead you to rethink some of the things you learned in Sunday School.

God bless you!

Launderer’s soap

Beloved, think it not strange…

I want to bring to you a word of encouragement today. The Lord has put in my heart that many of you have suffered unspeakable trials these past few years. Some of you have lost your health, others have seen a child die, their dreams washed down the drain, their hope deferred forever, all their joy ripped away, their financial and business life ruined, their families turned into a war zone, being relentlessly persecuted, their pain never seeming to ease up, their suffering apparently well above what they could bear.

As you all know, the last days are upon us. And the Lord has led me to two texts in His Word that help us understand why some of us have had to endure such fiery affictions.

Mal 3:2-3 says, “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like launderer’s soap.  He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness.”

Dan 12:10-11 says, “Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.”

In these last days, I think particularly after we enter the days of tribulation described in the Bible, God is going to refine his church, make it white and spotless, after all, He said He’d be coming back for such a bride. He’s not coming for a filthy whore who’s prostituted herself with the prosperity message, the self and flesh gratifying Gospel crowd who dare call themselves the church of the living God in our days. No, my brethren, those who have fallen prey to that kind of false teaching in the church will have to be purified, washed anew with the Launderer’s soap! Then, and only then, He says, they will offer sacrifices in righteousness, sacrifices that our God can accept.

And what about those of us who have had to endure through what seemed and still seems to be unbearable trials? I believe God is telling me that some of us have had our purifying and refining ANTICIPATED, so to speak. God needed a people who would be ready and refined for these end times, otherwise how could he use anyone, if all He had to pick from was a spiritually sick, immature, fleshly minded, greedy, slumbering church?

So, God has been bringing some of us, for several years now, through what I think we could call the “Desert University,” as He did Moses and other of his servants. This is where we are refined, where we are made to decrease so that He will increase in us, this is where we are heated up to the limit so we can come forth as gold. We are but vessels of His Word and Spirit, and if we want to be vessels of honor (which really means vessels that will honor Him, for ALL honor does belong to Christ alone), we should not shy away from these impossibly tough times, because otherwise He will not be able to count on us to blow the trumpet and warn the others. The Lord is asking us right now, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” And are we willing to say “Here am I! Send me.”? Are we willing to know Him in the fellowship of His sufferings now, so that we can have the power of His resurrection made available to us when we desperately need it in the days of great tribulation ahead? The five wise virgins in the parable did not get their extra oil for free. They had to buy it. The Lord advised one of the churches to buy from Him gold refined with fire. Brethren, that gold is expensive. Salvation is free, but the pure gold of faithful service to Jesus is not. Some of us have paid the price. We’ll have the gold. We’ll have the oil. We’ll have the faith when we need it. And we will have the power of His resurrection to give us life and peace and joy and miracles in the midst of the storm about to hit this earth.

God bless you, and onward Christian soldiers!

Sermonindex from YouTube gives us this:

Israel offers a Peace Plan that can work (but of course, the Palestinians will never agree…)

We must keep an eye on Israel, knowing it is God’s time clock for the end times.

 Barry Rubin wrote this article on the Israel Insider:

http://israelinsider.ning.com/forum/topics/rubin-israel-offers-a-peace

Israel has put forward a serious peace plan which deserves international support from anyone serious about solving the Israeli-Palestinian and Arab-Israeli conflict.

The cabinet’s five-point proposal states:

“The need for explicit Palestinian recognition of the State of Israel as the national state of the Jewish people.

“The demilitarization of a Palestinian state in such a manner that all of Israel’s security needs will be met.

“International backing of these security arrangements in the form of explicit international guarantees.

“The problem of refugees must be resolved outside the borders of Israel.

“The agreement be an end to the conflict. This is to say that the Palestinians will not be able to raise additional claims following the signing of a peace agreement.”

If these conditions are met, Israel will recognize an independent Palestinian state. Note that the plan claims no territory on the West Bank or even claims east Jerusalem.

This program should be quite uncontroversial and represents what Israel needs to get to justify taking risks, making concessions, and believing the result will be a real, lasting peace.

Why, then, is this plan so unacceptable to the Palestinian leadership? Supposedly, Palestinians are so victimized by “occupation” and eager to have their own state of their own that this would be a small price to pay.

Regarding point one, if they are giving up all claim on Israel why should they care how it is defined? The Palestinian Authority’s constitution defines Palestine as a Muslim, Arab state and their intention is to expel all Jews. If there are going to be two states for two peoples why not accept that Israel is for the Jewish people? The answer: because the Palestinian leadership certainly does not intend to let Israel live permanently as a Jewish state.

Point two simply means that a Palestinian state would have military forces similar to what it has now. Since the PA already has the highest proportion of security forces to civilian population in the world, that should be sufficient. In addition, the Palestinian state wouldn’t invite in other armies—like Iran or Syria. But, after all, that’s in the interests of a peaceful, stable Palestine since such forces would threaten the government’s existence and provoke war with Israel.

Point three says that despite the “international community’s” poor record of keeping promises made to Israel in exchange for its past concessions, Israel is ready to take a chance to achieve peace.

As for point four, a real Palestinian nationalist movement would be demanding such a provision. Don’t Palestinian nationalists want Palestinians to live in Palestine to help create a strong, prosperous state? No. Instead, the PA demands that any Palestinian who ever lived or whose ancestors ever lived in what’s now Israel must be let in to live in that country. This is a formula for massive violence and Israel’s destruction. Which is why, of course, the PA insists on it.

Point five is a no-brainer, right? Any peace agreement must be final. But, of course, almost all PA leaders regard getting a state as only a first step toward wiping out Israel. So they want to weasel out of even a two-state peace agreement ending the conflict.

With no mention of keeping east Jerusalem or settlements, it should be clear that Israel’s government has formulated a strategic stance, far from being hardline.

All those who say peace is easily obtainable should note: It is, in theory but, because of Palestinian positions, it isn’t in practice. If more evidence is needed, consider the June 22 policy speech of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, which proves my point.

First, Fayyad complains that Netanyahu presents an “Israeli narrative” of the conflict—isn’t that his job?–while Palestinians have their own “narrative.” But then Fayyad says he won’t talk about it!

Why won’t he present that narrative? Because doing so would reveal too much about Palestinian responsibility for making peace impossible.

Israel’s narrative is clear: Jews want and merit a state; the conflict is due to Arab refusal to accept that state’s existence. But if Palestinians accept Israel as a Jewish state, there’s no bar to a two-state solution. This Israeli narrative doesn’t block a two- state solution.

In contrast, the Palestinian narrative is that Jews have no right to a state and all the land is Palestinian, Arab, and (for most) Muslim. This Palestinian narrative prevents a two-state solution since the conflict could only be settled not by Palestine’s creation but by Israel’s extinction.

That’s what Fayyad cannot admit. For this same reason he can’t say Palestinians will resettle all refugees in Palestine, won’t try to build the biggest possible army or bring in foreign troops, or will end the conflict permanently.

Second, Fayyad says something amazing: the reason the peace process failed is the misconception “that it is always possible to exert pressure on the weaker side in the conflict as if there is no limit to the concessions that it could offer.” He believes that so far this has been the PA.

That’s nonsense. Israel withdrew from most of the territory, let the PA bring in tens of thousands of Palestinians, establish its rule, build security forces, receive billions of dollars in international subsidies, and more. In exchange what did the PA do? Say to foreigners–but not in its textbooks, mosque sermons, media, or speeches to its own people–that it accepted Israel’s existence. And also to stop some selected terror attacks.

But now Fayyad and his colleagues advocate precisely the approach against Israel he says blocks peace. They view Israel as the weaker side, in relation to the West, and want those countries to force it into unlimited concessions.

By feeding the PA’s false belief that the West will press Israel into giving them a state without restrictions, Palestinian concessions, or even PA implementation of past promises, Western governments help sabotage any chance for peace. Instead, they should think seriously about supporting Israel’s moderate, workable peace plan.

Twilight time in America

Sad as they are, Michael Savage’s words are true. He warned his listeners back in October of 2008 that this was coming. And we can see it now knocking on the American people’s doors.

God have mercy on the USA!

The Lord’s return – a fictional but true account

Reddemed Hippie gives us this great article:

Lately, I have been thinking about the Lords’ return. I will not be going into detail about when He will appear. I don’t know when. I tend to believe it will be somewhere at the beginning of tribulation or the middle. I just do not know and neither do any of you. However, I think a lot of us would agree we are seeing events unfold that will lead to His appearance.

I call this a “fictional” piece of writing because I would like to take us on a journey that may not be too far from the truth. So let’s begin:

The Word says in Revelation 6:12-17

12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Ok, we all have read that. Now let’s take our journey and see what that may look like. At some point in history that IS going to happen, whether anyone wants to believe it or not.

What will you be doing should that event happen in your lifetime? Will you be shacked up in bed with a new lover? Fornicating, committing adultery? God knows and sees you. Will you be cheating your neighbor? God knows and sees you. Will you be telling a whopper of a lie? God knows and sees you. Will you be scoring that next batch of dope? God knows and sees you. Will you be shooting up that drug in your arm? God knows and sees you. Will you be cursing Him and His name? God knows and sees you. Will you be rolling a joint? God knows and sees you. Will you be lifting that whiskey bottle to your lips? God knows and sees you. Will you be mocking and ridiculing the things of God? God knows and sees you. Will you be boasting of your accomplishments? God knows and sees you. Will you be scheming how to get ahead no matter who gets in your way? God knows and sees you. What will you be doing?

The earth shakes like no other time in history! What will you be doing? Whatever you will be doing, I can promise you, you will immediately stop! You will be terrified. Perhaps you will try to be calm. Maybe you will try and gather your senses but the shaking was so great! It shook everything! Let’s say it was so great that nothing on earth could gauge it. You begin to wonder what is going on. But some of us will KNOW what is about to happen! 

Then the sun will go dark. Pitch black. Great darkness like no other time in history will cover the whole earth! If indoors, you will run, (if you have survived the earthquake) to look outside at this remarkable event taking place. You will be crying out, “What the heck?! What is going on?!” Some of us will KNOW!

Then the moon will become as blood. It will turn blood red! You will look on in awe! But some of us will KNOW!

As you are trying to take in what has just invaded your whole world, the stars of heaven will fall unto the earth! Great and mighty rocks of fire begin to fall to the ground! You see and hear destruction all around you! Great destruction has come to the earth like no other time in history! You are still wondering what is happening and where you can go for safety! But some of us will KNOW! 

And then something really horrifying (depending upon who you belong to) begins to take place! It is still dark outside! Great horrible darkness only adds to your plight! Something begins to happen that no one has ever seen before! The sky begins to somehow split or unroll in such a way that you can not keep from watching! You cry out, “What is this?! I have never seen this before! What is happening?!” But some of us will know!

And then every mountain and island is being moved out of their places! Everything that can be shaken is being shaken. Every sense you have is able to pick it up! You actually feel the mountains and islands from all the nations being shaken! Maybe by now, you are crying our for God. But you still cry out, “What is going on?” But some of us KNOW!

And then the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And you may try and hide! You may run to the hills and to the caves! You may try to hide wherever you are. But you can not hide and somehow you know it! By now you may or may not know what is happening! But some of us will KNOW!

Why? Why does the inhabitants of the earth begin to flee and hide? Because now they KNOW! They know what these events are! They see Him! They see Almighty God! They see Him in all of his glory coming through the clouds! As the sky opens up, the darkness that has covered the whole earth is penetrated with a brilliance! It is no longer dark! The brilliance of His glory is upon the whole earth! Man cannot look upon that kind of glory! Man sees himself as a sinner before that brilliance of a HOLY God! They would rather have the mountains fall upon them than to see Him! They cry out to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne!”

All of mankind SEE God sitting on His throne! God, Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth is looking upon the earth! He sees and knows all! He sees all of mankind trying to hide!

Mankind cries out to the rocks and mountains, “Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb!” Mankind KNOWS now! Mankind KNOWS! They see His wrath towards all the ungodliness through all the centuries coming upon the earth! They see they have rejected His ways and truth! His brilliance and truth has exposed their wicked and evil hearts. Man does not want to live! He desires to die! Anything to be seperate from the One True Holy God!

They cry out, “For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Some do not know. But some of us KNOW!

Did this fictional piece frighten you? It should, if you do not know the One True God. There is no other way to Him except through Jesus Christ His Son. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. 

What will you be doing should that day approach in this lifetime? Choose this day whom you will serve!

Lord come quickly!

Obama’s Immoral Authority

This article was written by Pamela Geller, and appeared on July 17, 2009 on the American Thinker:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/obamas_immoral_authority_1.html

Obama’s hypocrisy and brutal inhumanity in light of recent events shocks even the most jaded among us. Americans had to listen to his daily tongue lashing about our morals and values as he defended closing Gitmo (home to the worst war criminals), admonishing us for the benign use of waterboarding in order to save thousands of American lives, and in his latest attempt to create a “torture” prosecutor.

Yet what was done at Gitmo was all done in defense of this dear country. It is a testament to our moral authority that Gitmo exists. Saner men would have lined up the enemy in front of a firing squad. It is a tribute to our moral superiority that Gitmo guards wear splash guards on their heads to protect against flying excrement and urine.

Nonetheless, Obama lectures us on morality, while now, just weeks later, we have watched him turn a blind eye to real torture: the unspeakable brutality, beatings and murders that the Islamic Republic of Iran is committing against people peacefully marching for liberty, for the principle of one man one vote. He has rewarded this regime with his recognition. Is this what Obama meant when he said we must respect Islam “even if we don’t agree”?

Barack Obama warned that we cannot “keep this country safe unless we enlist the power of our most fundamental values” – which he was claiming had not been done. He said: “America must demonstrate that our values and institutions are more resilient than a hateful ideology.”

He also declared: “We uphold our most cherished values not only because doing so is right, but because it strengthens our country and keeps us safe. Time and again, our values have been our best national security asset – in war and peace; in times of ease and in eras of upheaval. Fidelity to our values is the reason why the United States of America grew from a small string of colonies under the writ of an empire to the strongest nation in the world.”

Is that from the President’s statement on Iran? Did he say this in denouncing Ahmadinejad and the bloodthirsty mullahs? No. He was talking about Gitmo.

One has to ask: why did this man run for President? The knee jerk reaction to such a question is that a man (or woman) runs for President because he loves America. It is becoming increasingly clear that Obama ran for President because he hates America and wants very much to “change” it.

“There is also no question,” Obama said, “that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world.”

No, Mr. President. Your position on Iran, Israel, Honduras, Chavez, Ukraine, Georgia, and the American taxpayer did that. It is unconscionable that a President would invoke America’s “moral authority” to pave the way for the advances of Islamic supremacism here and abroad.

It is an abomination that he would sanction the actions of the Iranian mullahcracy while attempting to ethnically cleanse parts of Israel of the Jewish people. Denying the Jews’ right to natural growth as a people is a crime against morality and humanity.

Obama’s strange attraction to savages and despots is repugnant and enormously dangerous in a world teetering on the brink. I, for one, am sick of being preached to by a man who increasingly seems to be devoid of the basic decency that is inherent in those who have the genuine moral sense to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong.

He speaks of respect and outreach. In Turkey last month, he declared, “We seek broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstanding, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful even when we do not agree.” And in Cairo he did not address specific nations, he addressed the Muslim world — the ummah – thereby giving real credence to the global jihad. But respect is a two way street. Where is their respect for the West? For the United States?

Obama is now poised to accept an invitation to visit the terror-supporting regime in Syria. And domestically, he has announced that he will ease restrictions on Muslim charities. Andrew McCarthy commented: “Do we really have ‘rules on charitable giving’ that, as the president claims, make it especially difficult for Muslims – as opposed to others – to give? No. What we have are federal laws against material support for terrorism. These were enacted by Congress in 1996. They have been the bedrock of the DOJ’s anti-terrorism enforcement ever since.” But they won’t be for much longer.

McCarthy also wrote last week of his “shameful release on Thursday of the ‘Irbil Five’ – Quds Force commanders from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who were coordinating terrorist attacks in Iraq that have killed hundreds – yes, hundreds – of American soldiers and Marines.”

Why did Obama release these men? The Islamic Republic of Iran is at war with us (and with their own people, as the mullahs have just demonstrated so viciously). What is his plan? What is in his mind?

What are Barack Obama’s “fundamental values”? From his consistent behavior since becoming President, it is increasingly clear: Obama cares little for America’s fundamental values and sacrifice, and respects them even less. He is the foremost enemy of America’s real moral authority in the world.

 

Come to Christ

Christ is mighty to save! Come home to Him! Will you convey His message to lost?

Rick Warren’s other “Jesus”

 This is a pretty amazing little study about just how far away Rick Warren is from orthodox Christianity. His “Jesus” has become mixed with other so-called Jesuses who are NOT the Son of God, and Warren is praying in the name of those false Jesuses. So, ask yourself, who does he really serve?

At the end of the video, the author makes an excellent point: “One has to wonder about Warren’s inclusion of ‘Isa’ and exclusion of ‘Christ.’ They both make sense if you’re looking for finely tuned political correctness with a twist of veiled one-world religion.”

So when the Anti-Christ’s One World religion comes, you can pretty safely bet on whose side Warren’s going to be.

If you, my beloved brother or sister, happen to be a member of Rick Warren’s church or happen to have read and still admire his books, beware! By following him, you might end up following the Beast.

Israel is Holy to the Lord!!!

 This is an excellent video by the Director of the Temple Institute explaining the unexcusable historical and theological errors of Barak Hussein Obama’s speech in Cairo where it pertained to Israel and her right to dwell in their own land. Obama erroneously stated that Israel’s claim to their land is solely based on the world’s good will and pity towards them at the end of the 1940s, as a means to make up for their suffering during the Holocaust. If you know your Bible, you know that this could not be further from the truth. The land of Israel was alloted them by God Almighty Himself thousands of years before the Holocaust took place, and He will not hold guiltless those who try to devour Israel or divide her land!

Jer 2:3 says, “ Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.”

Henryporter2 from YouTube gives us this:

God hates

I know, many of you are raising your eyebrows right now, saying, “wait a minute, this is not a Biblical statement, after all everyone knows that God is love…” Granted. God indeed is love. And what greater love has anyone than He who laid down His life for us? God has proved His love to us when He gave His son to die for all those who would believe in Him and live for Him. And this He did when we were yet sinners and therefore His very enemies. Christ died for those who did not even know Him or care to know what He had done for them.

All of the above considerations are wonderful tenets of our faith, and we should never forget them. We should speak of God’s love to all who will hear us, and teach it to our children, we should tell them of how God extended His Love to ALL who would believe and follow Him. But would it be correct to say that God actually LOVES everybody? I believe not.

The Bible is filled with references to another side of God’s character and personality which we often prefer to ignore, perhaps because it just isn’t as pleasant to hear, or maybe because it doesn’t sound as pretty in praise and worship songs. That facet of God involves His Holiness and justice, and it necessarily implies the simple fact that God hates evil ,as well as all shapes and forms of wickedness and iniquity. He does. God HATES evil, and He simply will not put up with it. Let us examine a few scriptures that will make this point clear:

In Ps 5:4-6, the scriptures declare: “For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.  You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.” Our God is a Holy God, and He hates ALL workers of iniquity, that is, until the day when they peradventure would repent;  then, and only then will God embrace them as children, and they will be permitted access to the presence of our Holy God. Until then, God hates them, pure and simple. The scripture is not saying that God hates their sin, but loves them, the sinners. No. It does not say that He simply hates the works of iniquity, a thirst for blood, and deception. The passage  states clearly that He hates the workers of iniquity themselves, He hates bloodthirsty and deceitful people. That is, unless and until they repent. That is our Holy Bible, my brothers and sisters. There is a place reserved for the workers of iniquity, and there is a time coming very soon when God will pour down His hot anger and the fullness of His wrath upon them.

Let us examine a few other scriptures that shed light into some of the things our God hates: Prov 6:16-19 says, “These six things the LORD hates; yes, seven are an abomination to Him:  A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.” There you have it. The Lord hates the arrogant, liars, murderers, people who plot wickedness, those who cannot wait to do evil, perjurers, and those who provoke strife. I’m not the one who is saying it. He said it Himself.

Isa 61:8 says, “For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity.” The Lord hates corruption and robbery. Thieves and those who would do anything to acquire dishonest gain. That alone encompasses a great multitude of people right there, not to mention most politicians…

In Mal 2:16, God says, “I hate divorce.” So if you are already a born again Christian, and have pledged to live your life according to Thus says the Lord, yet you are considering  getting divorced, just know that your decision is one your God hates. Yet today we see divorce among Christians as acceptable and “normal,” so much so that it most likely has reached percentages close to those of unbelievers. If you got divorced before you came to the light of the Gospel, then your sin was committed in ignorance. Yes, sin. Divorce is sin, if God Himself declares it to be something He hates, it ought to be sin. We simply cannot disinfect it or sugarcoat it to make it look any less sinful than it is.

The following scripture refers to the church, well, more specifically to the apostate church of the last days, which we see flourishing at every corner these days, with their false prophets and teachers embracing doctrines and manifestations of demons, and not only walking themselves  swiftly into a pit of destruction, but dragging also with them so many who have inadvertently fallen prey to their teachings.  Amos 5:21-23 says, “I hate, I despise your feast days, and I do not savor your sacred assemblies. Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.” You see, some so-called Christian meetings God absolutely hates. He cannot even stomach their praise, their worship songs. He turns His face and ears away because those sounds make Him sick. Did you know that some people make God sick? And this is what the apostate ministries are doing: they are sickening our God! I advise them to repent and to turn again to sound doctrine, lest it be too late.

And what does God expect from us, if not that we, His children, would also hate iniquity, wickedness and every sort of evil? Prov 8:13 says, “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.” Paul also admonishes us to hate what is evil. Today we see evil abounding like we have never seen in our lifetime. Surely this level of evil has existed on the earth before, as in the days of Noah, or in Sodom and Gomorrah. And the Word of God tells us that in these last days we would see that same level of evil arising on the earth again. Worst of all, evil is being called good, and good evil these days. We are to abhor evil, to hate it, to want nothing to do with it, to depart from it; Jude 23 says we are to show mercy mixed with fear, trying to lead to salvation those we can, pulling them out of the fire, but hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

My beloved brethren, if we want to be like Christ-like, then let us hate evil as our God does.

Obama Socialism Police Force

Michael Savage, a truth speaker, once again lays it out like it is: “We have a nation enslaved by drugs legal and illegal, being manipulated by a gang from Chicago in cahoots with the media; the government/media complex is running this country in a way this country was never meant to be run, you can call it socialism…”  Savage talked about a report that just came out today on how many Americans are currently on anti-depressant drugs, and went on to mention how many more are taking all kinds other drugs and alcohol, and this made me think about the whole drunken movement in the church. I mean, why would Christians want to be numbed and drugged out when their country is being raped? It beats me! we are to be sober! Be vigilant, for our adversary the Devil is looking for whom he may devour!

Wake up church!!!

America in affliction

 

I was praying after reading some of the incredible latest news on all that’s happening in the US, the healthcare reform, the behavior of those in power, and where all this is taking our beloved country, and I bawled, and I bawled before the Lord, and I cried out, “Oh Lord, can’t you repent from the evil you have decided to bring upon this beautiful land, can’t you forgive, can’t you remove your wrath from America, is there no hope of restoration for our land?,” and after crying out for several minutes, the book of Lamentations came to mind, and I just had to read the whole book in one sitting. 

I’d like to share here some of what I read. There is really no need for any comments, as the scriptures are so crystal clear. All we have to do is replace some of the words,  like “city,”  “Jerusalem,”  “daughter of Zion,”  “Israel,” or “Juda” for the words “country,”  “nation” “America,” or ”the United States,” and suddenly the whole book fits like a glove. To me it is a very accurate portrait of what is happening right before our eyes today.

Check it out:

Lam 1:1-6a
How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.

3 Judah has gone into captivity,
Under affliction and hard servitude;
She dwells among the nations,
She finds no rest;
All her persecutors overtake her in dire straits. 

4 The roads to Zion mourn
Because no one comes to the set feasts.
All her gates are desolate;
Her priests sigh,
Her virgins are afflicted,
And she is in bitterness.

5 Her adversaries have become the master,
Her enemies prosper;
For the LORD has afflicted her
Because of the multitude of her transgressions.
Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.

6 And from the daughter of Zion
All her splendor has departed.

verses 7-10a:

7 In the days of her affliction and roaming,
Jerusalem remembers all her pleasant things
That she had in the days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the enemy,
With no one to help her,
The adversaries saw her
And mocked at her downfall.

8 Jerusalem has sinned gravely,
Therefore she has become vile.
All who honored her despise her
Because they have seen her nakedness;
Yes, she sighs and turns away.

9 Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
She did not consider her destiny;
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
She had no comforter.
“O LORD, behold my affliction,
For the enemy is exalted!”

10 The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her pleasant things;

verses 12-14 show Jerusalem speaking:

…Behold and see
If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the LORD has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.

13 “From above He has sent fire into my bones,
And it overpowered them;
He has spread a net for my feet
And turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.

14 “The yoke of my transgressions was bound;
They were woven together by His hands,
And thrust upon my neck.
He made my strength fail;
The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand.

Lam. 2:1
How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion
With a cloud in His anger!
He cast down from heaven to the earth
The beauty of Israel…

Lam 2:8-9
8 The LORD has purposed to destroy
The wall of the daughter of Zion.
He has stretched out a line;
He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.

9 Her gates have sunk into the ground;
He has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and her princes are among the nations;
The Law is no more,
And her prophets find no vision from the LORD.

Church, and worst of all, in Lam. 2:14, God lays out who is to blame for all the desolations that have been decreed upon our beautiful land:

  
14 Your prophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions;
They have not uncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions.

Had the church leaders preached repentance and uncovered the iniquity that’s been running rampant both in and outside the church, this captivity might have been averted… Instead they prophecied false visions and delusions of prosperity and peace… Woe to the false prophets and the false shepherds, for the blood of the innocent shall be required from their hands for twisting the Word of the Lord.

Let us fall on our knees and weep and cry out like Jeremiah, my brothers and my sisters, perhaps there might still be hope that the Lord will turn back our captivity. Let us heed the call of the prophet:

 Lam 3:40-41
40 Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the LORD;
41 Let us lift our hearts and hands
To God in heaven.

And then let us pray:

Lam 5:19-22
19 You, O LORD, remain forever;
Your throne from generation to generation.
20 Why do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?
21 Turn us back to You, O LORD, and we will be restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!

When God abandons a nation – Is there hope?

This is a powerful message by John MacArthur based on Romans 1:18-32. It talks about God’s wrath of abandonment upon a society, when God removes from it His restraining grace.

MacArthur outlines the three stages of this wrath: first God gives the society over to the lusts of their hearts (v. 24). Then, He gives them over to degrading passions (v. 26), and finally, to a depraved mind (v. 28). In summary, first the heart becomes rotten, then the body follows, and finally the mind goes.

I’d like to transcribe here a few portions of what John MacArthur said about the final stage, because I think it describes and portrays very accurately the state of affairs in American society today.

“God gave them over to a depraved mind – What does a depraved mind mean? It means a mind that was tested and found useless, disqualified for its intended purpose, a non-functioning mind, where reasoning is so corrupted that it becomes crippled. The intellectual faculty can no longer function, the moral law of God written in people’s hearts has been literally stomped and replaced with cultural immorality. The conscience cannot function. So the people do the things that are not proper. Immorality then goes in every direction, and now people cannot find their way back, because the mind is so corrupt; they don’t think right, their brains don’t follow the path that they should. These people advocate all the wretched things, and depreciate all the virtuous. What flows out of this depraved culture? They become like lustful immoral beasts running wild. This is what happens when God abandons a society.

Why has this happened?

This has happened because society has suppressed the truth (v. 18) and abandoned God. This society will not tolerate anger against sin, they don’t want anyone to decry its iniquities.

The sequence of WHY starts in v. 18 –  they suppress the truth by their ungodliness, crushing it under their preference for sin. They silence the truth speakers, clinging to their sins; they run to the darkness, and despise the light.

Is there hope?

In Psalm 81:11-16, God says, ‘…My people did not listen to My voice, and Israel did not obey Me. So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their hearts to walk in their own devices; Oh that my people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would quickly subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries; Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him (it would be so good to be under the protection of the Lord that people would even pretend to be believers), and the time of punishment (the enemies’ punishment) would be forever. But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the Rock I would satisfy you.’

God is saying here that if His people would listen to His voice and obey Him, He would turn from abandoning them, from giving them over to their owns sinful choices, to defending them, protecting them, and punishing their enemies.

The only hope for this or any other society is to hear the Word of the Lord and obey it. And I would suggest that this is not a good time for weak men preaching weak messages in weak churches. This is the time for bold and powerful, strong Biblical ministries that call people to hear the Word of the Lord and respond. This is the only hope for any people or society.

God’s message is not the world’s message, and that is why we should never sugarcoat scripture to make it more palatable to unbelievers, we should never compromise the truth to gain a broader audience. Our mission and our mandate is to bring men and women face to face with God’s immutable truth by teaching the Word one verse at a time.”

Let the leaders of the church hearken unto this message and change their ways, and change their messages from a seeker friendly “Gospel” (that is no Gospel at all) to the whole counsel of God, calling men everywhere to REPENT!!! Perhaps then there will be hope for our nation.

Muslims in the church

A few months ago I felt that God was telling me that He is drawing a sharp line separating  the sheep from the goats, the Bride from the whore. The ecumenical church is part of the “whore.” And you can be sure, beloved Bride of Christ, we will be seeing  more and more of this in the days to come.

Mathew 25:31-33 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”

This Muslim is preaching in a supposedly Christian church, teaching the children to bow down towards Mecca and worship Allah, and Rick Warren is calling for a coalition, citing that God likes variety. But the Bible never mentions that God likes variety. No! God likes obedience to His Word and His way!

The Lord will hide His people

Dear Bride of Christ,

There are so many promises in God’s Word about His supernatural protection of His children when the Day of the Lord comes upon the earth, and destruction and wrath sweep over the land like a hurricane!  The Lord has led me to several passages lately that deal precisely with His protection for His Bride in the days to come. And not only that, but He has given us specific instructions as to how we should pray, and what we should ask.

Zephaniah 2: 3 says, “Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the days of the Lord’s anger.” Beloved, know that God has a hiding place for His children in the days to come.

Also in Luke 21:36, Jesus said, “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”  To the church in Philadelphia, Jesus said, “Because you have kept my command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” Revelations chapter 12 speaks of how God will hide the woman (which most Bible scholars agree represent the church) in the wilderness for 1,260 days (3 1/2 years), away from the presence and the wrath of the dragon. In the book of Exodus, we see how God supernaturally protected His children from the plague of the firstborn through the blood of the passover lambs on the doorposts, and even all the plagues before that affected only the Egyptians, while God’s people were never touched. Countless times in scripture we see God delivering His children, and yes, I know the scripture also tells us that there will be many martyrs in the last days, but still, there are countless examples and promises of God delivering His people.

I believe this is a time when God will manifest supernatural miracles to protect His children, things we cannot fathom or imagine, things that have never entered our hearts and minds, things we have never seen or heard of before.The scripture says God knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations. He’s got His own way of doing this, and He’s done it over and over and over again in scripture and throughout History, and He will continue to do it now.

2 Pet. 2:5-9 says, “…and (God) did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was opressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteos man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds) – then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment.”

Be encouraged, my beloved brothers and sisters, and pray for deliverance for God’s family, pray for the wicked to stumble and be put to confusion, and for God to save His people! Maranatha!

God is mad – a warning

I am posting this short video because these words have rung so true in my spirit… So many will seek to find our God when it will be too late… They will seek the God of love, but will only find the God of wrath.

Come out of her, My people, come out of wicked Babylon, says the Lord! The King of kings is coming for a spotless bride. Have you been washed by the blood of the lamb?

Jesus is coming

Yes, I believe that there are prophets in our midst. Prophets of the Most High God today, as was prophecied in Joel 2:28, and then repeated by Peter in Acts 2: 17, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”

When I hear a prophecy like this one, it rings so true, because it confirms everything God has already revealed about His nature and His plans in His Word. There are no contradictions, nothing pointing in a direction that’s different from the revealed truth of God’s Word, so I have to say that I believe it. May the watchmen on the walls continue to speak forth the Word of the Lord with boldness, may our hearts be encouraged  to persevere, and let the ungodly be warned!

Help us Jesus!!!

Churches are spreading mad cow disease

This is an article by Coach Dave Doubenmire written in 2004. It spoke so much to me, it is like a clear diagnosis of the root of all the mess we’re in today. It is one of the best pieces of writing I’ve read in a long time.

Article gotten here:

http://www.newswithviews.com/religion/religion26.htm

What is all of the fuss about? Mad cow disease is nothing new. It has been poisoning America for years.

It is an insidious disease, scientists tell us, attacking the central nervous system. The results are not immediate, sometimes taking years to manifest, but the results are devastating. It slowly hinders ones ability to think, leading eventually to dementia and the total loss of the power to reason.

“Is our meat supply safe?” the headlines ask. Can you trust Wendy’s and McDonalds? Can you be sure that the meat at your local grocery is not tainted? Just to be safe, maybe it would be wise to stop eating meat.

Perhaps we should ask pastors the same questions. Is the meat they are serving us safe?

The Church, for generations the central nervous system of America, has been ravaged by Mad Cow. Once the safe-guard of our nation, she has lost her ability to reason. How else can you explain the inability to distinguish those who are churched from those who are not? Dementia is running rampant because we have been fed a contaminated Gospel.

Hebrews 5-14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The disease infected us quietly. Despite the firm warning of some of our veteran chefs, our seminaries were turning out a new breed of cooks, with fancy recipes for a new casserole. It looked good, it tasted fine, and it appeared to have no negative effects on those who ate it. America, we were told, was ready for a new dish, one that could be easily prepared in the micro wave, and we liked this new chef. He seemed like such a nice man. Certainly he would not give us tainted food.

Many pastors were leery at first, holding fast to older, proven methods, warning about the dangers of feeding people this rotten flesh. But gradually, as they began to watch those short-order cooks who served this meat grow larger churches, the temptation became too great. This new, improved hamburger helper, flavored not with salt, but with the spices of diversity and tolerance, looked and smelled the same. But it was easier to digest than the food the pastors use to serve and it required almost no chewing. Seven course meals were out and fast food was in. Three points and a poem replaced fire and brimstone.

“Feed my sheep”, Jesus said. So the churches did. The new, seeker-friendly menu was great for business. The cafeteria was full, and more customers were coming every week. A generation starving for spiritual nourishment was being spoon fed poison meat.

Consider the entrees these enlightened chefs served.

“Jesus loves you in spite of your sin. He will be your best buddy”
“Divorce is okay because God wants you to be happy”
“Jesus died to deliver you from poverty. He wants you rich”
“God made you gay. He loves you and so do we”
“Abortion isn’t murder. It is a difficult choice between a woman and her Dr.”
“Open hearts, open doors, open minds”
“Who are you to judge?”
“All religions are the same. People just have different names for God.”

Sort of makes your stomach growl, doesn’t it?

Pardon my cold-heartedness PETA, but the chickens have come home to roost.

Someone call the FDA! Some pastors are spreading Mad Cow disease and America is losing her mind!

Check the symptoms. Gays want to marry and churches bless the union. In fact, we now have gays offering the sacraments. MOO!

Fifty percent of all Christian marriages end in divorce and the Church crows about defending the sanctity of that union. MOO!

We have condoms to prevent disease and abortion to prevent children. MOO!

We educate our kids in Godless schools but rave about their sports program. MOO!

But why worry? Our attendance is up and so is the Dow. Things are looking better.

Mad Cow has taken over. We are losing our minds.

In the area where I live Amish food is gaining popularity. Restaurants serving “Home-style cooking” have customers standing in line. Sick of fast food and microwave dinners Americans are finding something of value in the old ways of cooking. It has a more lasting taste, and as Grandma used to say, it “sticks to your ribs”.

We need a new diet. The time has come when pastors must feed the flock something that “sticks to the ribs”. Years of greasy Grace have lead to a dazzling showcase but an empty stockroom. Rewrite the menu and include some old family basics.

“The soul that sins, it shall die”
“God hates the workers of iniquity”.
“In righteousness He doth judge and make war.”
“Be not deceived for God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sows, that also shall he reap.”
“Be ye Holy, for I am Holy”.

Alexis de Tocqueville is credited with having said:

“I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors…in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and matchless Constitution. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is Good, and if America ever ceases to be good America will cease to be great.”

Any nutritionists will tell you “You are what you eat.” America, look in the mirror. Do you like what you see?

Mooo!

The fruits of apostasy

By Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret. September 16, 2009 NewsWithViews.com

“Their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.” Isaiah 59: 6-8

History, both secular and Biblical, is replete with examples of recalcitrant sin-laden peoples being inflicted by the Lord God Jehovah with leaders who have decimated and destroyed the masses that they deceivingly purported to represent for good and just reasons. Some of these were black of heart and viciously disposed and others were simply bumbling idiots, either way they led their nations and those who populated them to destruction and ruin.

That this nation is sin-laden and of a collective corruptness of heart is incontrovertible, the mortals that populate it have descended into depravity, deep sexual deviancy, soul-destroying avarice and bestiality of thought. They revel in their wickedness’s and flaunt them before the world. They splatter the airwaves and cyber space with immorality and deviancy. They pipe it into the homes domestically and export it to foreign shores. Only the ignorantly obtuse and the mentally feeble fail to understand the pitiably deficient state of the collective morals of this people and this society, if they are not abject doers of evil they are upholders and enablers of evil. They are as rotten fruit and about to be plucked and eliminated as the affront they are to a righteous and holy God.

The people are paying a high price for their sins and their sins are legion. The sovereign God who rules will not be mocked. No government exists and no individual rules, but what He allows. I am often asked why I do not provide secular solutions to the precarious state of this nation and get on with a movement to throw the bums out. I emphatically re-state what I have written so many times in the past, “There are no secular solutions for a spiritual disease.” The bums will not be thrown out they are where they are for a reason, and if they should drop by the wayside they will simply be replaced with those who are equally perverse. All too often I have heard others state that the Lord helps those who help themselves, this is absolutely not biblical. The truth is that the Lord delivers those who do His bidding and who rely on Him in all things.

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

A righteous and virtuous people can expect righteous government and virtuous leaders; an unwholesome and iniquitous people can expect the same unwholesomeness from those who rule over them. The last three government administrations amplify that fact. The unholy trio, Clinton, Bush, and Obama have brought this nation and its people to a precipice overlooking an abyss, all were, during their tenure, liars and deceivers and upholders of vice and personal corruption. They have piped a Godless recalcitrant people down a crooked road to an imminent demise.

POLITICAL FOIBLES

This nation is divided into three political types – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Both Democrats and Republicans are dogmatic slaves to a party line and to specious and strongly held political policies and rigid etched in stone political doctrines. Liberal Democrats in the main have set the course for social deviancy and the moral looseness of the nation. They have instituted infanticide, sexual deviancy, and rampant vice and they enable and support most all-social aberrations that demean the human spirit. They promote sloth and dependence and inveigh against individual liberties that conflict with their political and social dogma. They have infiltrated all echelons of society – most especially the educational system – with their devastatingly erosive and corrosive isms. From the university level down to the lowest elementary grades their doctrinal programs have dulled young minds and inculcated unwise, unsound, and ungodly deviant morals and values in the youth of this nation.

Republicans, though they profess to a higher morality than their counterparts of the Democrat party, they are in fact no less destructive. Arguing the virtues of one over the other is akin to arguing whether the lion or the tiger is more or less dangerous, they will both kill you and devour your carcass. Republicans, though apt to be less immoderate than Democrats, are no less destructive of personal liberties and inimical to sound morality, they talk a good show, but display a shameful obsequiousness to their Democrat counterparts. They are compromisers on principle and facilitators of the Democrat social doctrines that rend the moral fabric of the country. The Republican Party is a pitiful bulwark indeed against the egregiously foul and nasty social curricula promoted and instituted by the Democrats and their societal comrades.

Fortunately the third group – Independents – has traditionally refused to slavishly embrace the political doctrines of either of the two national parties. They have however often shown, in national elections, to possess no more common sense than Republicans or Democrats. Their very real value is that they are far more effective in challenging government abuse and the overstepping of authority by elected and un-elected government officials. Unlike the slaves to the national parties, they will act aggressively and vigorously when either Republican or Democrat political office holders are goring their ox. It was this group of voters that turned the Bush Republicans out of office primarily due to his inaction to, and support of, the millions of illegal foreign interlopers that corrupted the social fabric of the country and bankrupted the treasuries of many state social welfare systems. It is these Independents that have precipitated the sudden and drastic plunge in the personal popularity of Barack Obama and the new lows in support for his policies. He is goring their ox – the national health care system – and they take angry exception to his machinations for National Socialism and all that it stands for. Advertisement Independents had turned to Barack Obama only as a change from the disastrous eight-year tenure of George W. Bush, a man who pushed the economy to the edge of collapse, a man who was instrumental in engaging the nation in two guerilla wars, a type of warfare at which the United States has never shined and a type of warfare that nullifies the great strengths of the American Military and militates for interminable conflict and unending costs in both lives and financial resources. He was also a man who refused to provide for the domestic tranquility by fortification of the borders, and one who was every bit as much of a disaster during his time in office as Barack Obama is today.

THIS SAVIOR HAS FALLEN

Barack Obama’s decline has been rapid and percipient, probably the only thing that has saved him from a more drastic fall in public esteem is an ever worshipful propagandist media and Republicans who, true to form, in their Herculean bent to appease socialist liberals haven’t the statesmanship, the intelligence, or the courage to stand on principle and oppose his Marxist policies.

An adoring liberal-socialist media and the mindless believers in Obama as savior have made much of his alleged brilliance, he is in fact possessed of an entirely normal intellect and is neither brilliant nor possessed of a mentally superior adeptness. He is entirely one-dimensional and incapable of thinking in abstract terms. His guiding light is his spouse who is what Jezebel was to Ahab, a not unintelligent evil spirit behind the throne. Michelle’s undisguised hatred of America and of the Caucasian race guides her thinking and ipso facto that of her husband. There can be no doubt that she was the guiding light responsible for her mate’s Marxist political appointees. Some speculate that Obama is the antichrist I don’t believe it. He hasn’t the cleverness, guile, or the complexity and quickness of mind of an antichrist. But, dear reader he has surrounded himself with those who do and they are, thanks to his guided appointments and the weakness of his political opponents in heading off those appointments, in critical positions at every level of government where they are systematically and incrementally installing a totalitarian Fascist/Marxist system in once was a Constitutional Republic.

If Mr. Obama were to read this writing he would be greatly offended. Not by my allegations of his political intent and Marxist leanings, because he is very transparent in that regard and unashamed of his political bent, but my questioning of his alleged brilliance and his mental adeptness would irritate him immensely, in point of fact it would absolutely infuriate him as he is a complete and perfect Narcissist – a true lover of himself.

In previous articles, both prior to his election and after, I have opined that Barack Hussein Obama is immature, inexperienced, untried, untested and wet behind the ears. He is in fact entirely shallow of character. Nothing he has done in his eight and one-half months in office has served to mitigate that assessment. His love of self dominates his every action and his every desire; he has not an altruistic bone in his body. He seeks always to escape responsibility and risk of failure with a continual exaggeration of his own qualities. To hear him tell it he is superior in every way and his infallibility is beyond question.

In his carefully choreographed public appearances, which are nauseatingly frequent, before selectively combed over hysterically rabid attendees one cannot fail to pick up on Obama’s conceit as he poses, preens, struts, mugs and pontificates. He can see himself in the monitors and his idealized image of himself dominates his performance from beginning to end. He will never admit failure, never accept criticism, and he will never credit those in opposition to his ideas and preferences with any credibility that might detract from his own self-perceived superiority. He is quick to demean his opponents and slow to commend the ideas of others. Like Adolph Hitler he has delusions of grandeur, but unlike Hitler this is attenuated by an insufficiency of superior intelligence and a lack of shrewdness. If the camera operators filming him were to indulge us with close-ups of his mug we would most likely find that Barack Obama has chapped lips from kissing mirrors.

WHO SAYS WE’RE OUT OF THE WOODS

Because of my criticism of those the Lord has chosen to rule over us with Godly direction, but who instead eschew that responsibility and corruptly guide our destinies in spiritually adverse ways, I have been at times accused of being unloving, unkind, and lacking in Christian love and charity. Actually I pay little attention to what the mere mortals who traverse this old globe for a short while think about me. What the Eternal Lord God of all creation thinks is what counts. I direct those who think that piety equates with service to the Lord to make a study of Elijah, a great servant of the Lord God Jehovah and one who was not disposed to beat around the bush in regard to sin, corruption of the soul, and an apostasy of faith in the sovereign God. It was his task, nay his absolute duty, to confront King Ahab and his treacherous wife Jezebel who were worshippers of Baal, despoilers of God’s word, and tyrannical abusers of the people under their control. According to the infallible word of God Elijah confronted both Ahab and Jezebel with their sins and corruption, mocked their false prophets and put four hundred fifty of those prophets to the sword. It is evident that Elijah put God before piety.

Watching the secular media, and the know it all talking heads that they sponsor, trying to pull this nation’s irons out of the fire with words of assurance uttered to inspire confidence is entirely educational in regard to their nescience. Ever onward and ever upward is their motto, but only the most deceived and dedicated liberal clones manage to submerge their inner doubts and one senses in listening to the more knowing spokesmen the fearful trepidation behind their words. They have good reason for that apprehension and dread, this nation collectively appears to be well beyond redemption and the point of return. The end will be swift and it will be sudden.

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

“For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come.” -Revelation 18:6-10

This nation will fall, but there is still hope for individuals: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Maranatha.

Is America at a dangerous tipping point for God’s judgement?

This amazing article was posted on my good friend Redeemed Hippie’s blog here:

http://redeemedhippiesplace.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/is-america-at-a-dangerous-tipping-point-for-receiving-gods-judgment/

I took the liberty of posting it here also. The writer’s name is Brannon Howse, and the article was originally published at :

http://worldviewtimes.com/article.php/articleid-5388/Brannon-Howse/Brannon-Howse

I believe America is at a dangerous tipping point  for receiving God’s judgment for two reasons. The first reason is America’s withering support for the nation of Israel. This began under the Bush Administration but has rapidly advanced under the Obama Administration. In early June of 2009, President Obama traveled to Egypt to deliver an address to the Muslim world. In his speech President Obama cited what he called the holy Koran numerous times. This is the very book that calls for Muslim to murder the Jews as well as Christians.

Days before his trip to the region President Obama declared that Iran has the right to a nuclear facility for energy. Why do they need a nuclear facility for energy when they have all that oil? We all know they want a nuclear bomb. Obama has clearly thrown Israel under the bus; by weakening Israel’s national security and making them venerable to a nuclear strike by Iran. In addition he has increased Iran’s threat to America’s national security. Since 1998, Iran has been practicing shooting a missile off a cargo ship. If one missile, with a nuclear war head, was launched from international waters over the United States and detonated only a few miles above the center of our nation, an electronic magnetic pulse could very easily put America back in the mid 1800s technology wise by damaging vital electrical devices such as America’s power-grid and our military defenses. Military experts and scientists have testified before the U.S. Congress and declared that the only way our enemies could bring us down militarily is through an EMP bomb.

In Genesis 12:3 God says that He will curse those that curse Israel and bless those that bless Israel. I believe one of the only reasons God’s wrath has been delayed for America is because of our support for Israel and now America has almost completely withdrawn this support and I believe it puts us at great risk for being cursed by God.

The second dangerous national tipping point that is inviting God’s wrath is found in the book of Nahum. The prophet Nahum shows up in Nineveh about 150 years after Jonah to tell the nation that God is not going to give them the chance to repent this time but His wrath is going to come upon them. Why? Because in Nahum 1:11 we read that the people had begun to “plot evil against the Lord.” Rejecting God is one thing; plotting evil against him is the tipping point for national judgment.  In fact in Nahum 3:19 we read, that their national “injury has no healing, your wound is severe.” One translation says, “Your wound is incurable.”

In fact, when God finally chooses to bring His judgment on America, it would be a waste of time to even pray for mercy. No need for a national day of prayer. In Jeremiah 7:16 God Himself declares to Jeremiah not to pray for Judah. “Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or a prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me: for I will not hear you.” In Jeremiah 15:1 God tells Jeremiah, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people.” Then in Ezekiel 14 God says that when a nation sins against God in persistent unfaithfulness He will stretch out His hand against it. In verse 14 God says, “Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves.”

On June 1, Obama signed a proclamation that declared June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Pride Month, 2009.” Combine America throwing Israel under the bus and our nation plotting evil against the Lord, and I think we may be at, or near, that tipping point. The next few months will reveal whether this is true or not. But it has become very clear that America is not on the side of God when our nation has murdered nearly 50 million unborn children, states are rushing toward homosexual marriage, God is outlawed in our nation’s public schools, the criminalization of Christianity is greatly increasing, only 1% of adults have a Christian worldview and false-teaching and pagan spirituality has become mainstream.

Abraham Lincoln said, “I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord’s side.”

In 2 Corinthians 3:17 the Apostle Paul writes: “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”. The question for America is have we rejected the things of the Lord and thus His Divine providence and protection? In other words, is God judging America? I think the answer is yes.

Founding Father Dr. Jedidiah Morse wrote:

“Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them.”

Engraved on the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. are these words of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and our third president:

” God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.”

George Washington wrote: “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself have ordained.”

George mason, The father of the Bill of Rights, speaking at the Constitutional Convention declared: “As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, so they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins by national calamities.”

I believe God uses the same template to judge nations and I believe that template can be understood by studying what God said would happen to the nation of Israel if they did not obey God and follow His precepts and principles. I believe God always warns nation’s before He judges them and in doing so gives them the chance to repent. However, if the nation does not repent, God’s judgment will become more severe. In reading what God said He would do to the nation of Israel if they continue in their rebellion against God as found in Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 26, and Isaiah 5, it is in many ways like reading the newspapers here in America.

Deuteronomy 28

For disobeying God, Israel would not be blessed with prosperity and abundance both in regards to their economics as well as in their agriculture.

V. 24 describes drought: |
Many states in America are dealing with severe drought.

V. 28 describes confusion of heart:
Americans are spiritually confused and are mixing Christianity with pagan spirituality.

V. 29 the nation shall not prosper in her ways:
Look at the state of America’s economy, educational system and legal system.

V. 30 Lose of Homes:
America is experiencing historic home-foreclosures.

V. 38 You shall carry much seed out to the field but gather little in:
Recently I watched a Fox News Channel reporter standing on the side of a tractor as the farmer tilled his perfect crop of tomatoes back into the grown because it would cost him more to bring the crop to market than what he could sell it for and thus he was saving money to plow the crop under. Watch and see if America’s famers experience poor yields or crops being damaged through drought or storms.

V. 43 speaks of an invasion of illegal aliens:
One study reveals that illegal aliens cost Americans $346 billion per year.

Leviticus 26:

V. 16 I will even appoint terror over you:
America continues to live under the threat and fear of terrorism.

V. 19 I will break the pride of your power:
America is no longer a super-power as our military is stretched thin around the world and massive national debt impacts our financial stability and dependability which is causing nations to call for a new reserve currency to replace the American dollar.

V. 20. Speaks of famine:
V. 26 Speaks of famine:
Let us pray this does not happen.

V. 22 Speaks of extreme economic distress:
America is bankrupt. When you combine all our off record debt and unfunded liabilities like Medicare and Social Security we are over 99 trillion dollars in debt. The federal government could tax Americans 100% of their total incomes and not cover 2009 federal deficit.

V. 31 Speaks of invasion by enemies and destruction of their cities:
Intelligence officials and experts admit that terrorist sleeper cells are here in America and they are simply waiting for orders to carry out acts of terrorism upon our cities as did those that carried out the attacks on 9-11, 2001.

Romans 1 clearly states that a nation that rejects God over and over will suffer five specific consequences and America is experiencing all of these now.

Romans 1:21-32

1. A Nation of Fools: V. 21-22
This verse declares that a nation that rejects God over and over will become vain, useless, futile or foolish in their thinking. Despite claiming to be so wise and so smart, the nation will become so foolish in their thinking that they will succumb to spiritual deception and accept spiritual lies and false teaching.

2. The Nation Accepts Pagan Spirituality V. 25
The Denver Post in June of 2008, reported that pagan spirituality is doubling in America every eighteen months. Pagan spirituality is the worship of nature, the belief in pantheism which proclaims that god is all and all is god. Whether you call it Cosmic Humanism, the New Age Movement, the New Spirituality or pagan spirituality, this worldview is becoming the dominate worldview in America with the help of people like Oprah Winfrey as well as the leaders of the Emergent Church.

3. The Nation Accepts Homosexuality V. 26-27
Whether it is states that have approved homosexual marriage, the curriculum in many of  America’s public schools that teach the homosexual agenda, or the non-judgmentalism of a postmodern generation. Laws are seeking to give special rights to homosexuals and homosexuality continues to become an acceptable life-style to an ever increasing percentage of Americans.

4. The Nation becomes violent and debased V. 28
A study by David Barton of Wallbuilders reveals that since the 1962, and 1963, U.S. Supreme Court rulings that outlawed prayer and Bible reading in America’s public schools, our nation has seen a spike in the rates of murder, rape, child abuse, unwed pregnancies, and violent crimes.

5. The Nation’s leaders are corrupt and immoral V. 32
This verse declares that when a nation continually rejects God, they will have leaders that are not only immoral and corrupt in their personal lives but they will also approve of and encourage immoral behavior in the people. Whether at the state or federal level, the leaders in our legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government are continually passing laws, handing down legal rulings, and signing executive orders and sponsoring legislation that is against the righteous judgments of God.

A quick look at Isaiah chapter five further reveals a few of the unrepentant and continual sins for which God will bring judgment to a nation. God warned Israel for these sins and America should also consider itself warned.

Isaiah 5

V. 8-10: Materialism:
Money is not the root of all evil but the love of money is the root of all evil and at the heart of materialism is the love of money. Materialism is a form of idolatry, it is the worship or love of money that also includes knowingly disobeying God’s principles and standards in order to obtain money.

V. 11-12: Hedonism:
Hedonism says that purpose of life is to seek God but to seek pleasure. Hedonism rejects the absolute truth of right and wrong based on the character and nature of God and instead proclaims that if it feels good do it, you only live once, or eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die.
V. 12: Apathy and Foolishness:
Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have bad consequences. Apathy has led Americans to take their freedoms for granted, to become intellectually lazy, to reject reason, logic, and context. The Bible speaks over and over about the need to acquire knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, yet Americans have done the exact opposite and have rejected knowledge. Wisdom is the acquisition of truth and knowledge is the application of truth. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is truth, that His Word is truth, yet Americans have developed an apathy toward God that has now turned into disdain toward His character and nature and this has made us a nation of fools.

V. 20: Moral Relativism:
Since the late sixties, millions of American public school children have been educated with values clarification courses that proclaimed moral relativism which is the belief that all values and beliefs are equal because there is no absolute truth or standard of right and wrong.

V. 21: Arrogance leading to spiritual deception:
This fits right in with Romans 1:21-25 where the nation becomes so arrogant and foolish in their thinking that they accept spiritual lies such as pagan spirituality.

V. 21-23: Corrupt leadership and rulers drunk with power and enriching themselves with brides
and ill-gotten gains:
The examples of this are everywhere. Americans are beginning to realize that the majority of our local, state, and federal leaders are only interested in power, using their position to enrich themselves and their special interest groups so they receive kick backs, under the table payments, and political contributions for their re-election. A judge recently made national news because he had taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to sentence minors to a private, juvenile detention center. The judge was thus sentencing minors to this juvenile facility for the smallest of offenses.
A Christian response:

Christians must occupy till the Lord returns. Sadly, as America goes under, Christians that were only committed to the reconstruction of America or building a Christian America, will retreat from the culture and become defeated. This is not how Christians should respond. Duty is our and the results belong to God. If indeed God is judging America, (I believe He is) and if His judgment is going to greatly increase, (which I believe it will) then we need to use His judgment to preach the Gospel to the unsaved. As I stated in an earlier article, we need to see God’s national judgment of our sins as an opportunity to speak in the natural realm and then swing into the spiritual realm. Explain to the unbeliever what sin is, why God must judge sin, and that the judgment that nations experience in this life is nothing compared to the eternal judgment that unrepentant individuals will receive in the next world. Share with them that grace and mercy is only extended to those that repent and that Jesus Christ has provided the way for us to pass from judgment into life.

American Christians cannot rate our success on how Christian we make our culture because we may very well see a drastic increase in the persecution of Christians in America. American Christians are not exempt from even the kind of persecution that our brothers and sisters in Christ have experienced in China, Cuba, and many other parts of the world. Our faithful fulfilling of the Great Commission must be our standard for success as Christians, not our popularity in the culture, the balance of our bank accounts, the house we live in or the car we drive.

Peter Marshall put it this way: “It is better to fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed, than to succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail.”Dr. Erwin Lutzer added to this by saying: “Better to fail within the church than to be successful outside of it…God wins even when the church appears to lose.”

To God be the glory.

You’re my life, Lord Jesus!

Just close your eyes and worship our King!

All I want is you, Jesus! You are my hope, my song, my strengh, my peace. In you I live and have my being… YOU ARE MY LIFE!

Stay away from The Shack

This is a very well done book review on The Shack that we should all try to send our Christian brothers and sisters whom we know to be enamoured of this heretic book.

Excerpt from The Shack book review by James B. DeYoung published by www.thebereancall.org.

(See theshackreview.com/contentTheShackReview2Page.pdf for the complete review)

Recently The Shack has been approaching sales of 7 million copies. There is even talk about making the book into a movie. But while the novel breaks sales records, it also breaks with the traditional understanding of God and Christian theology. And therein lies the rub. Does a work of Christian fiction have to be doctrinally correct? Who is the author? William P. Young, a man I have known for over a dozen years. About four years ago, Paul embraced “Christian universalism” and has defended this view on several occasions. While he frequently disavows “general universalism,” the idea that many roads lead to God, he has affirmed his hope that all will be reconciled to God either this side of death or after death. Christian universalism (also known as universal reconciliation) asserts that love is the supreme attribute of God that trumps all others. His love reaches beyond the grave to save all those who refuse Christ throughout their lifetimes. Even fallen angels, and the Devil himself will one day repent, be delivered from hell, and enter heaven. There cannot be left in the universe any being whom the love of God does not conquer; hence the words, universal reconciliation.

Many others have pointed out the theological errors they find in the book. They fault Young’s view of revelation and the Bible, his presentation of God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus’ death and the meaning of reconciliation, and the subversion of institutions that God has ordered, such as the government and the local church. But the common thread tying all these errors together is Christian universalism. A study of the history of  universal reconciliation, which goes back to as early as the third century, shows that all of these doctrinal deviations, including opposition to the local church, are characteristic of universalism. In modern times, it has undermined evangelical faith in Europe and America. It has joined with Unitarianism to form the Unitarian-Universalist church. By comparing the creeds of universalism with a careful reading of The Shack, one discovers how deeply universalism is embedded within the book. Here is the evidence in brief:

1 – The universalist creed of 1899 affirmed that “there is one God whose nature is love.” Young asserts that God “cannot act apart from love” (p. 102), and that God purposes what he does always as an expression of love (p. 191);

2 – There is no eternal punishment for sin. The creed of 1899 again asserts that God “will finally restore the whole family of mankind to holiness and happiness.” Similarly, Young denies that Papa (God) “pours out wrath and throws people” into hell. God does not punish sin; it’s his “joy to cure it” (p. 120). Papa “redeems” final judgment (p. 127). God will not “condemn most to an eternity of torment, away from his presence and apart from his love” (p. 162);

3 – There is an incomplete picture of the enormity of sin and evil. Satan as the great deceiver and instigator of the temptation to sin goes unmentioned in Young’s discussion of the fall (pp. 134-37);

4 – There is a subjugation of God’s justice to his love—a central tenet of universalism. The creed of 1878 asserts that God’s attribute of justice is “born of love and limited by love.” Young affirms that God chose “the way of the cross where mercy triumphs over justice because of love,” and that this is a better way than that God should have exercised justice (pp. 164-65);

5 – There is great error in the portrayal of the Trinity. Young asserts that the whole Trinity became incarnate as the Son of God, and the whole Trinity was crucified (p. 99). Both Jesus and Papa (God) bear the marks of crucifixion in their hands (contrast with Isa. 53:4-10). Young’s error leads to modalism, that God is singular and at different times assumes the different modes of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a heresy condemned by the early church. Young also makes God into a goddess; moreover, he breaks the second commandment by imaging God the Father as a person;

6 – Reconciliation is effective for all without exercising faith. Papa asserts that he is reconciled to the whole world, not just to those who believe (p. 192). The creeds of universalism, both of 1878 and 1899, never mention faith;

7 – There is no future judgment. God will never force his will on anyone, even in his capacity as judge, for this is contrary to love (p. 145). God submits to humans, and humans submit to God in a “circle of relationship”;

8 – All are equally children of God and loved equally by him (p. 155-56). In a future revolution of “love and kindness,” all people, out of love, will confess Jesus as Lord (p. 248).

9 – The institution of the church is rejected as diabolical. Jesus claims that he “never has, never will” create institutions (p. 178). Evangelical churches are an obstacle to universalism.

10 – Finally, the Bible is discounted in this novel. It is a book of guilt rather than hope, encouragement, and revelation. Near the beginning of this review I raised the question: “Does a work of fiction have to be doctrinally correct?” In this case, the answer is yes, for Young is deliberately theological. The fiction serves the theology, not vice-versa. Another question is: “Do not the good points of the novel outweigh the bad?” Again, if one uses doctrinal impurity to teach how to be restored to God, the end result is that one is not restored in a biblical way to the God of the Bible. Finally, one may ask: “Could not this book lay the foundation for seeking a growing relationship with God based in the Bible?” Of course, this may be possible. But, in light of the errors, the potential for going astray is as great as the potential for growth. Young offers no direction regarding spiritual growth. He discounts the Bible and the  institutional church with its ordinances. If one finds a deeper relationship with God that reflects biblical fidelity it will be in spite of The Shack and not because of it.

God is in control

God gives us an opportunity to chose this day to submit to Him, and be under His rule and dominion. He is in control over the lives of those who have submitted their lives to Him. He will keep us, He will hide us. The New World Order is not in control, the powers of darkness are not in control, God is! Submit to Him today, my friend, repent from your sins, and live! Shun His gracious gift of forgiveness and salvation, and remain under His wrath. The choice is yours. But do it today, there is not much time!

Spiritually Transmitted Diseases

By Coach Dave Daubenmire
Published September 24, 2009 at www.newswithviews.com

As always a fine article by this who has become one of my favorite Christian writers:

Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so. And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. -Judges 2:16-19

Whore–a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet.

Adultery–voluntary violation of the marriage bed.

Fidelity to one’s spouse is guaranteed to protect one from Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD’s). It was an idea that originated with the God of the Bible. His demand of faithfulness to keeping the marriage bed pure was the ultimate condom for protection against disease.

The advent of the sexual revolution sixty years ago opened the Pandora’s Box of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. They are the natural consequence of the sexual smorgasbord we call America.
God’s laws are always for protection. Today we are now faced with over fifty STD’s.

Back in the 60’s any woman who “put out” was known as a whore. Word spread very quickly in the locker room regarding those girls who were willing to “do it.” STD transmission was rare, consisting mainly of syphilis or gonorrhea, both of which could be cured with a shot of penicillin. But as fornication increased so did the number of diseases. Today, 1-4 American’s carry an STD.

As terrible as Sexually Transmitted Diseases are they are not the real problem in America. Death is the ultimate destination for every human body and diseases are responsible for the early delivery of millions to the grave. But Jesus told us that physical death was not to be feared. Death was merely the portal through which every soul must travel in order to reach eternity. Just as birth is the doorway to our physical life, death is the foyer of eternal life. We must all make that journey.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matt. 10:28.

Whore is a harsh word, one that may elicit gasps if used in the presence of Christians. Just as bastard and sodomite are viewed as un-Christian terms, the truth of the matter is that whore, bastard, and sodomite are all descriptions of people listed in the Bible. I have been chastised a number of times for using the same terms the Bible uses when describing those who engage in sinful behavior. How did this happen? Christianity has become infected.

Syphilis is an STD that ultimately destroys the nervous system. It is impossible to pick-up without coming in contact with an infected person. Most STD’s are not readily detected. In fact, studies indicate that 25% of Americans have the Herpes virus, yet are unaware of it! It is hard to cure a disease one doesn’t know he/she has. The infection occurred without notice, and in most cases, embedded itself without symptoms. Ignorance is not bliss…ignorance is a killer (Hosea 4:6). One of the saddest phrases a person will ever utter is “If I had only known…”

Spiritually Transmitted Diseases are running rampant in the Church. While all of our focus is on the STD’s that kill the body, we turn a blind eye to the STD’s that are killing the soul. Spiritually Transmitted Diseases are spreading faster than the Swine Flu. Only an inoculation of Truth can save us from the spiritual adultery that has perpetrated this epidemic.

The Church has gone a whoring…crawling in “bed” with other gods and Spiritually Transmitted Diseases have infected the body. Just as a physical disease attacks the physical body, a spiritual disease attacks the spiritual body. In both cases, if the disease is allowed to progress un-checked, wide dissemination can be expected. Weakness will eventually overwhelm the body.

Spiritually Transmitted Diseases are killing the power of the church-body.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.” -Jeremiah 23:16-17

The Christian Pimps are responsible for introducing us to the whore’s that have spread the disease. I warned in January of 2004 that Churches Were Spreading Mad-Cow Disease. Little did I know five years ago the extent of the infection. Ever since that first warning the Hired Shepherds have done all that they can to protect their flock from an inoculation of Truth, thereby permitting the diseases to go unchecked. I have tried to stop the spread of the STD’s but many have called me a “trouble-maker”, “divisive”, and “too critical”. I wonder if they accuse their doctor of the same thing when he offers a diagnosis of their physical ailments. “My Doc, you are so judgmental.”

Why is it they are so willing to receive a diagnosis for a physical ailment while at the same time getting angry over the diagnosis of a spiritual one? Just as God uses men to diagnose physical ailments, he likewise uses men to diagnose spiritual ones. The Body of Christ is sick, infected by Spiritually Transmitted Diseases. The antidote is a harsh dose of Biblical Truth.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.” -Galatians 1:6-7

It is through the preaching of “different gospels” that the infection has spread. The Pulpit Pimps have adulterated the Word of God, whoring after teachers to help soothe itching ears. Look at this list of top selling Christian books of 2008. They are all infected with the “Gospel of Self”…the same gospel Satan preached in his sermon on I Will.

The humanistic, self-centered gospel of today is nothing short of spiritual masturbation…a use of the Gospel for nothing more than personal satisfaction.

Look, around at the whores and the infection they have spread. The humanistic gospel, the social gospel, the permissive gospel, the prosperity gospel, the healing gospel, the emergent gospel, The Purpose Driven Gospel, Your Best Life Now gospel, the church growth gospel, the seeker-sensitive gospel, the who-are-you-to-judge gospel, the homosexual gospel…

The Christians need some spiritual penicillin. The only thing that can stop the spread of the Spiritually Transmitted Diseases is a good dose of the cure, which is the preaching of the Cross, the Blood of Jesus, the hatred of sin, the Law of God as a guide to repentance, the Judgment Seat before the Mercy Seat, the Fear of God over the Love of God, death to self, and the Lordship of Jesus.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

America is soul-sick because she is sin-sick. The prostitution of the One True Gospel has led to a carnal-ized soul. There is no prophylactic for spiritual whoredom. Only death, burial, and resurrection can restore spiritual purity.

Spiritual adultery leads to Spiritually Transmitted Diseases.

Praying TO (not for) Obama: The most incredible thing I’ve ever seen – so far!!!

You have GOT to watch this! You will be floored!

No explanation needed.

Flee the wrath to come

The wrath of God is coming upon this world soon. Flee God’s wrath by coming to Jesus and repenting from your sins TODAY! Do not delay, my friend. Soon it will be too late, and if you are not under God’s forgiveness, than you will be under His wrath, and a time is coming when there will be no hope of salvation for you. And even if you are a Christian, but have no fruit, the ax is already lying at the root of any tree that is baren. Repent today for the kingdom of God is near, and so is His judgement upon ALL mankind! Jesus is the only one who can declare you inocent on Judgement Day.

Muslim prayer at the Capitol

 These videos plainly show what we have known all along: the only church in question when the liberals and the media eagerly cite the  separation of church and state is the church of Jesus Christ. Christianity seems to be the only religion they have a problem with.

The  two pastors shown in the first video were arrested for praying in front of the White house. Yet, when 4 to 5 thousand Muslims gather to pray and recite the Quoran on Capitol Hill, it’s perfectly allright. 

God’s love demands justice

Very, very relevant message for the time we live in. Please crank up the volume because the video has poor sound quality due to the fact that the footage is very old.

When the sinner and his sin are encountered by a Holy God, there is only one response: WRATH! But God’s love is of such character that He is even able to love, and show love, and demonstrate love towards the objects of His wrath. It is though with one hand God is holding back His justice against this world, and with another hand He is pleading for men to come, but one day both hands will be dropped!

Can God be loving and not move against wickedness? Can God be good and be apathetic towards evil? Absolutely not!

Come out from under God’s wrath and fall on the cross of Jesus Christ who is the only one who can save you from the wrath to come!

Now what do we do?

By Paul Proctor
October 7, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

Many, both here and abroad, are wondering now what will become of America. There’s a lot of intense speculation going on these days as to whether we should expect renewal, revival, revolution or the wrath of God.

People are losing their jobs, their businesses, their homes, their families, their pensions and everything they’ve worked a lifetime for. And because the problem is so profound and systemic, there’s really nothing the public or private sector can do to stop our economy from collapsing around us in spite of all the disinformation and outright propaganda to the contrary being manufactured by the government’s mainstream media machine and all those who have a vested interested in keeping the illusion of prosperity alive.

Even the money we use to buy and sell with – the world’s reserve currency – is an illusion that is quickly losing its appeal in the global marketplace. Americans may soon be the only people on earth that take U.S. dollars for goods and services – but for how long is anyone’s guess.

As I write, the Independent is reporting “the demise of the dollar” – that “Arab states have launched secret moves with China, Russia and France to stop using the US currency for oil trading.” Japan and Brazil are reportedly following suit. And, there’s no reason to believe it will stop there.

Because the dollar has long been the world’s reserve currency, most of it has been in circulation and in storage overseas. Imagine what will happen to its value when all of that unwanted currency comes back home to America from the countries that no longer want it or need it.

Remember; the more there is of something, the less it’s worth. An item’s rarity and desirability are what determines its value – not the numbers printed on it.

Take a rock from your front yard down to McDonalds and see if they’ll give you a hamburger for it. My guess is, they won’t since the owner of McDonalds can’t buy more hamburger meat and buns from his supplier with rocks that customers offer him over the counter because rocks are not rare and therefore aren’t valuable. A homeless man can fill his pockets with rocks off the street – but they won’t buy him a hamburger no matter how many he gives the guy behind the register or what numbers he scratches on the rocks that he offers. They’re still just rocks.

When Americans wake up and realize that the dollars they have in their wallets and purses and on account at the bank are little more than surplus paper, they’re not going to desire them anymore than China, Russia, France, Japan or Brazil. When this happens, it’s going to be like shopping with rocks.

The day is coming when food is going to become a lot more rare and desirable than green paper with numbers on it. Even though I’ve never tried it myself, I’m quite sure that money is not very tasty, nutritious or sanitary, for that matter, though it could be filling, I suppose, if you ate enough of it. And, if the gas and electric company quit taking dollars, we could always burn them in our furnaces and fireplaces, if we had to, to stay warm in the winter.

As if our declining economy and currency weren’t enough to bear, we Americans are losing our country as well, along with all the rights, freedoms, privileges and responsibilities that came with being a citizen. In fact, it would appear the United States no longer belongs to its citizens. Even the word “citizen” has lost its meaning here. No, our country belongs to men of great wealth, power and privilege who rule from the shadows, recognize no borders and fear little in life but the light of truth.

From the pew to the pulpit – from Main Street to Wall Street and from the voting booth to Capitol Hill – it’s mostly a charade now – driven by “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.” (1st John 2:16)

Should we be surprised? After all, this isn’t the Garden of Eden – nor is it the Promised Land. That means we have no eternal guarantee from God that He’ll sustain us as a nation indefinitely though He did give warning long ago about the hell that awaits nations that forget Him. But, as great and powerful as America once was, I have yet to find any mention of it in scripture. That ought to be humbling and a little disquieting for professing Christians here.

You see, empires come and go. History has taught us that their “15 minutes of fame” is a little over two hundred years which means America has statistically run its course.

So, what do we do now?

Do we take up the sword and our own perceived morality to exact vengeance on those we believe are to blame for the fall of our kingdom or do we take up our cross and follow Jesus to His?

This is the controversial question before us.

America is collapsing not because we have failed to fight our enemies, but because we have forgotten God, and in doing so, have made Him our enemy. Sure, we vehemently claim Him as our own but live day to day like He’s not there or doesn’t care what we think or say or do – like America is God’s home and we have some divine right to reside here forever.

But, that home has become a vain, vulgar and violent place under the throne of a righteous and holy God whose kingdom is not of this world. And, foreclosure is coming friends, because we’ve been living large on borrowed money, borrowed blessings and borrowed time.

“…Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” – Matthew 4:17b

Now this

“…There shall come in the last days scoffers…,” and they are everywhere these days.

Obama worship just keeps getting darker and darker. Yet their just punishment lingers not.

Obama “disgusted” with Israel

In Genesis 12:3,  God said to Abraham, ” I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” When we see an American president expressing his feelings towards Israel in such terms as being “disgusted” by that God-chosen nation, we have to wonder how close the US is to being cursed by Almighty God. Let’s pray that America’s policy towards Israel will change back to being that of unconditional support, or else…

The following article was found at World Net Daily, here:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=112998

JERUSALEM – U.S. officials in recent days expressed to the Palestinian Authority that President Obama’s administration is “disgusted” with Israel, a top aide to PA President Mahmoud Abbas told WND in an interview.

Nimr Hamad said the White House was disgusted that Israel is refusing to halt all settlement activity as a precondition for re-starting talks with the PA over the creation of a Palestinian state. “Settlement activity” refers to Jewish construction in the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.

Hamad repeated that the term “disgusted” was used more than once in recent meetings with U.S. envoys to describe the administration’s attitude toward Israel. Hamad did not name the U.S. envoys using the terminology.

George Mitchell, Obama’s envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, just this week wrapped up a series of meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders over re-starting talks.

Senior PA sources told WND yesterday the Obama administration urged them to begin publicly pressuring Israel, starting in March, to immediately withdraw from key areas in the West Bank and peripheral eastern Jerusalem sections in which the Palestinians currently maintain administrative control.

The sources specified that as a confidence-building measure toward the PA, Israel will be asked by the Obama administration to hand over security control to territories designated in the 1993 Oslo Accords as Area B – referring to cities administered by the PA but largely controlled by Israeli security. The specific section of the Oslo Accords regarding control of Area B was finalized in 1995.

Separately, a top PA source, speaking on condition his name be withheld, told WND two weeks ago the Obama administration largely has adopted the positions of the PA to create a Palestinian state within two years based on the 1967 borders, meaning Israel would retreat from most of the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.

The official said Obama also accepted the PA position that Israeli-Palestinian negotiations begin where they left off under Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who went further than previous Israeli leaders in his concessions to the Palestinians.

Olmert reportedly offered the PA not only 95 percent of the West Bank and peripheral eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods but also other territories never before offered by any Israeli leader, including parts of the Israeli Negev desert bordering Gaza as well as sections of the Jordan Valley.

The official claimed the Obama administration will still support the announcement of a Palestinian state within two years.

Nothing short of PREPOSTEROUS!!!

Obama worship post on the president’s own official campaign website

The Obama worship crowd have a special platform at the president’s official website. They are welcome there and their heretic, idolatrous opinions are posted there. I guess Obama does not mind being worshipped in the least, but then again, we all knew that already.

Original article found here:

http://amyproctor.squarespace.com/blog/2009/10/21/follower-on-white-house-organizing-for-america-website-obama.html

President Barack Obama’s official website during the presidential campaign, which now operates to gain support for the Democrats healthcare plan and other issues, sports a follower writing a blog entry, “Obama is Our New Jesus”.

It’s the typical Black Liberation Theology rhetoric that Jeremiah Wright spouts, with egregious errors about Jesus’ mission (which was about redemption, salvation, obedience and love, not social justice) and origin (he wasn’t African because his family fled to Egypt after his birth to escape Herod, he was a Jew from Galilee born in Nazareth in Israel), this Obama follower made the connection many allude to:  Obama is our new Jesus.  And of course, no warped theology would be complete without an anti-white tirade:

“Thousands of years ago a remarkable African man traveled from present-day Ethiopia to the Middle East. His name was Jesus and he carried with him a message of justice and peace. By this time, most African peoples were aware of the white man from the cold north. The great African cities in Egypt, Libya and Morocco had been ransacked and largely destroyed by these strange beings. And they continued to travel south into the heart of Africa leaving destruction behind them. A large area of northern Africa was being transformed from lush farmland into a desert. (It is known today as the Sahara Desert.) Jesus traveled north to where the white man came from with the hope he could stop their destructive ways.

But Jesus was killed. There were only a few whites who accepted Jesus and heard his message. And Jesus was killed simply because he was an African Black man.

Now as Barack Obama prepares to cure America of its sickness and bring forth justice we wonder if it could happen again…”

(King’s Bride: Barack Obama cure America? If they mean changing all that was ever good about this wonderful country so that none of it remains, but instead, a totally different nation, a Socialist, Atheist, godless, perverted Obamanation arises, that`s not curing America, that’s murdering it.)

Barack Obama may be better compared to the anti-Christ than the Messiah.

The ominous “success” of re-education

This article elaborates on where public education is headed. We all knew that already, yet some of us have allowed our children to spend hundreds of hours under the strong influence of humanistic, Atheistic, Socialist teachers. That’s why the http://www.exodusmandate.org/ website and movement is urging all parents in America to remove their kids from public schools. If you visit their website, you will have a better idea of what we are talking about here. Basically, we need to understand that 1 hour of Sunday school cannot possible compete with 25 hours of humanistic brainwashing per week.

NewsWithViews.com

“The purpose of education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students.”

“As the home and church decline in influence… schools must begin to provide adequately for the emotional and moral development of children. …The school… must assume a direct responsibility for the attitudes and values of child development. The child advocate, psychologist, social technician, and medical technician should all reach aggressively into the community, send workers out to children’s homes….”(Joint Commission on mental Health of Children”)

“A proposal for new social studies curriculum in Texas public schools removes a mention of Christmas in a sixth-grade lesson, replacing it with a Hindu religious festival….”

“…the breakdown of traditional families, far from being a ‘crisis,’ is actually a. … triumph for human rights against ‘patriarchy.’” (UN Population Fund Leader)

The traditional Christian family has been a continual obstacle to the globalist vision of solidarity. And for over sixty years, the United Nations and its mental health gurus have fought hard to eradicate those old poisonous certainties” that stood in their way. They seem to be gaining ground!

Since Hitler outlawed homeschooling about 70 years ago, German parents have faced the harshest battles. Now other nations are catching up. Notice the government attitudes in the following examples:

“A critical hearing is scheduled in Germany in that nation’s war against homeschoolers to determine whether a family can continue to control the education of its high-performing son, 14…. ‘One of the fundamental rights of parents is the right to educate their children according to the dictates of their own religious beliefs.’”

That “fundamental right” is fast being replaced by government-defined “community” or “collective rights.” The fact that those homeschooled children have “extraordinary academic abilities” and are “socially competent” doesn’t matter. Today’s rising global system doesn’t want “competent” Christian leaders!

“A North Carolina judge has ordered three children to attend public schools this fall because the homeschooling their mother has provided over the last four years needs to be ‘challenged.’ The children, however, have tested above their grade levels – by as much as two years…. The judge… explained his goal …to make sure they have a ‘more well rounded education.’ …the judge also said public school would ‘prepare these kids for the real world and college’ and allow them ’socialization.’”

Such socialization tactics “worked well” in the Soviet Union. Based on the Marxist/Hegelian dialectic process, they include collective thinking, manipulative peer pressure, denial of absolutes, shameless “tolerance” for immorality, and irrational intolerance for contrary views.

The results can be disastrous. Students trained to scorn God’s guidelines and conform to the crowd are anything but free. Most are soon driven by evolving new notions that undermine all truth and certainty. Loosed from moral constraints, many are bound by their own lusts, obsessions, and (ultimately) despair.

A MODEL SCHOOLS FOR FUTURE LEADERS

Bill Clinton’s “Governor’s School” — one of many across America during the eighties — demonstrates the tragic results. For six weeks each summer, it isolated selected Arkansas high school students from the outside world and immersed them in liberal ideology, sensual literature, group dialogue, and mystical thrills — both real and imagined.

“Students do me a favor,” urged author Ellen Gilchrist, a guest speaker at the school. “Totally ignore your parents. Listen to them, but then forget them. Because you need to start using your own stuff, your real stuff that you have.”

Her aim was to free students from “obsolete” family values, not promote personal independence. They must reject the old ways and become “open-minded” — ready to accept the unthinkable practices that bombard their minds.

By the time they left the Governor’s School, their utopian dreams seemed more real than the actual world. Like the planned results of Soviet brainwashing, they had been weaned from truth, facts and reality. With seared consciences, new ideals, and volatile emotions, they would now face the old world they had left behind only six weeks earlier.

The Marxist change agents behind this transformation are too numerous to list, but behavioral psychologist Kurt Lewin gives us a simple formula. Linked to infamous psychological research institutes in London (Tavistock) and Germany (Frankfurt Institute), Lewin moved to America when Hitler began his reign. His influence spread through MIT and other universities, then paved the way for “sensitivity training” and the formation of National Training Laboratories that would prepare transformational tactics and textbooks for public schools.

Lewin outlined his program with a 3-step formula:

1- UNFREEZING minds
2- MOVING the students to the new level
3- FREEZING group minds on the new level.

For the students, the transition back to reality — to home, family and normal life — was painful. For some it was lethal. “When I came back home, I sort of wrote a suicide note to myself,” confessed LeAndrew Crawford. “Not actually wanting to kill myself, but wanting to kill the reality of what society had been teaching me for so long…. I was totally down, because my family just didn’t feel like my family…. I didn’t want to be back.”

Brandon Hawk did kill himself within a year. Hearing about his death, other concerned parents contacted Brandon’s parents.

“They see the same thing in their kids that we saw in Brandon,” the father explained…. They just sort of walk off and leave the family.”

But Brandon wasn’t the only one who chose death rather than life. After the third suicide, the Joint Interim Education Committee of the Arkansas legislature held hearings that exposed some of the problems. Perhaps the most revealing testimony came from Brandon’s mother, who read from her son’s log. In his first entry, he wrote,

“‘Moms are the best people around, and my mom is the best mom on earth.’ But three weeks later, he wrote: ‘My mom is so closed minded I feel like we will have a standoff soon over issues.’ And his final entry stated: ‘After I came back from the [three-day, July 4] break, my friends and I could tell that we had suddenly been transformed into free thinkers.’”

Another mother testified that, “My son came back from Governor’s School and his favorite line was ‘There are no absolutes; there are no absolutes.”

It didn’t take long to change the students’ minds and hearts, did it? Yet few teachers or parents are aware of this subversive agenda.

Back in 1982, Professor Benjamin Bloom, an internationally known behaviorist, defined “good teaching” as “challenging the students’ fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues.” He added,

“The evidence collected thus far suggests that a single hour of classroom activity under certain conditions may bring about a major reorganization in cognitive as well as affective (attitudes, values and beliefs) behaviors.”

The most revealing evidence that this scheme really “works” comes from those who participated in the Clinton’s Governor’s School. In light of today’s rapid changes, it makes sense to remembre their testimonies as recorded in the documentary video titled “The Guiding Hand”:

1. ISOLATE STUDENTS FROM TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES

“For the six weeks… they are not allowed to go home except for July the Fourth. They are discouraged from calling home…. They can receive mail but they are encouraged to have as little contact with the outside world as possible.” (Shelvie Cole, Brandon’s mother)

“I felt that I needed not to talk about it. I don’t know why. Maybe because we were supposed to stay here and the fact that we couldn’t leave…. No one… who had gone before would talk to me about it.” (Kelli Wood, former student)

The supposed effectiveness of such mandatory separation may help explain why (1) educational change agents want to put 3-year-olds in pre-school programs and (2) why “Obama says American kids spend too little time in school.”

2. REINFORCE NEW LIBERAL, ANTI-CHRISTIAN VALUES

“We watched movies like Harvey Milk. We learned about gay life — those things that your parents say, ‘This is wrong… You shouldn’t see this type of thing because, hey, that’s just not right…’” (LeAndrew Crawford, former student)

“[The instructors] tear down their authority figure system and… help establish another one…. They convince the students that ‘You are the elite. The reason why you’re not going to be understood when you go home… is because you have been treated to thought that they can’t handle.’ …[This] intellectual and cultural elitism gives them the right… to say, ‘We know better than you.’” (Mark Lowery, former director for Governor’s School publicity)

3. EMPHASIZE FEELING-CENTERED (affective, not cognitive) TEACHING:

“Rather than learning what 2 and 2 equals, they would be asked what they feel about 2+2. Right now we have a move going on in our Arkansas schools called restructuring, where they are trying to get away from more objective, substantive learning into this subjective area of feelings.” (Mark Lowery)

“You would think that there would be some academic challenges… getting ready for college… The main textbook that I remember from there is a book called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and the book is totally Hindu religion defined.” (Steve Roberts, former student)

4. SHAPE A PERSONAL, ALL-INCLUSIVE SPIRITUALITY:

“A lot of places. . . even Christian camps, you get that stress about ‘What am I doing wrong?’ . . .There it was like, hey, I can talk to God! Me and God are one, the world is one… Jump up and down, you know, just twirl around.”

“It was kind of like that Baha’i idea. How you have Islam, Baha’i, Muslim, Christianity… They’re all different kinds of trees, but underneath, its root system grows together [and] is the same god.” (Steven Allen, student)

5. INSTILL THE TARGET BELIEFS — A ‘NEW’ SOCIAL AND POLITICAL AGENDA:

The next quote fits Bill Clinton’s experience. He was selected as a potential future leader — A Rhodes scholar — worthy of the required indoctrination:

“I think the whole intent of the Governor’s School in taking 350 – 400 students per summer, is to pick out the four, five or six students that could be political leaders and then to mold their minds in this more liberal and humanistic thinking…. [T]o be considered intellectual… you have to be a liberal thinker….” (Mark Lowery, former director)

“They’re bringing a political agenda in the guise of academic excellence…. It was something that was well orchestrated, well organized, it was mind-bending and manipulative.” (Steve Roberts)

“Prominent themes promoted by this school include radical homosexuality, socialism, pacifism and a consistent hostility toward Western civilization and culture, especially [America's] Biblical foundations.” (Jeoffrey Botkin)

6. BUILD ALLEGIANCE TO THE NEW COMMUNITY:

“You could dress just about any way you want. We had almost naked people. It was real liberal… an awful lot of cursing.” (Mike Oonk, former student)

“The students… say, ‘This is the perfect place. I never want to go home.’ I caught myself saying that several times.” (Mike Oonk)

Indoctrinating students with diverse beliefs, socialist values, utopian dreams, and idealized love leads to deception, disillusionment, corruption and chaos. But that fits the battle plan for global transformation just fine. Today’s change agents need chaos and crisis to justify their oppressive action. Not only does it unravel the old social order, it gives an illusion of newfound freedom — from family values as well moral restrains.

“It would be impossible for me to describe to you just how exciting and unusual this educational adventure is,” said Bill Clinton.

It wasn’t exciting for re-programmed students who returned home. But that problem may soon be resolved. Through “service-learning” and other long-term re-learning projects, today’s students can stay rooted in the new environment — even if they sleep at home.

This is where we are headed, dear friends! During this last year, three students at a top-rated high school committed suicide — one of the many consequences of today’s emotional confusion. One evening, as desperate parents met with school officials to seek solutions, a fourth student attempted suicide at the nearest railroad crossing. He was pulled off the track seconds before the train thundered down the track.

That meeting offered no real solutions. But God shows us the way:

Pray.

Prepare yourself. “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole Armor of God….” Eph. 6:10-11

Equip your children to discern evil and resist compromise. “Do not be deceived….” 1 Cor. 15:33

Trust God, not yourself. “O our God… we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” 2 Chron. 20:12

Inform and warn all who will listen. “I now send you to open their eyes…” Acts 26:17-18

“Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”1 Cor. 15:57

That’s my king

I just HAD to post this again! Enjoy!

Prophecy update

I don’t necessarily agree with the meaning attributed to the horseman on the Black horse in Rev. 6:5-6, although that’s the most common interpretation, but regardless of that, it’s undeniable that we are very, very close to the time when ALL Biblical prophecies pertaining to the end-time will be rapidly fulfilled. It’s important to point out the fact that the end-time does not mean the end of the world, but the end of all forms of human government, and the establishment of the kingdom of God upon the earth, with the crowning of Jesus Christ as the eternal king of ALL.

There is no reason to fear though, because you can become sure of being protected from the wrath of God to come upon mankind if you put your trust and your faith in Jesus Christ as your only and sufficient Savior, repenting of your sins and receiving Him as your Lord and Savior. Do that today, my friend, do not delay, for the end of all things is near. And if you have already done that, it is time to become closer to God, to let go of all the sins that weigh you down, and to become truly sanctified and separated unto God, so that you will be found ready, blameless, and spotless at the time of His soon, very soon return.

Long live Israel!!!

It’s truly amazing how God has blessed the people of Israel with skill, talent, intelligence, and a spirit of excellence, and all this they accomplish while surrounded on every side by fierce and ruthless enemies that want nothing short of Israel’s total annihilation!
May God bless Israel forever and ever, and may all her enemies at her gates be turned back in utter confusion and distress.

Just give me Jesus

Oh Lord, I just want to love you more!

Preach the Word!!!

What is being preached in your church these days? A social Gospel? A seeker friendly Gospel? A tolerant Gospel?  A universalist Gospel? An inclusive Gospel? An ecumenical Gospel? A prosperity Gospel? A Triumphalist Gospel? An interfaith Gospel? A false peace Gospel? An Emergent Gospel? A false Gospel?

Or is it the true saving Gospel of Jesus Christ, the undiluted Word of God, the whole counsel of God, the power of God unto salvation, a Gospel of repentance, a Gospel of sanctification, a Gospel of full consecration, the Cross of Jesus Christ and the power of His Spirit?

We need true preachers today, more than we need anything else in this world, men of God who will not compromise the truth for earthly gain, who will preach in season and out of season, not afraid to offend people with the truth, not afraid to tell them the error of their ways and the end thereof, not afraid to tell them of the straight and narrow path, of Jesus as the only way to Heaven, and not afraid to warn them of the soon return of our Lord and of the judgment and the wrath of God to come.

Ancient Egypt, Free Masonry, Judaism, Islam, and the Vatican – What’s the connection?

I thought this was interesting. The pastor of my church is a born again Jew, and he always says that the Judaism that is practised by Orthodox Jews today has hardly anything at all to do with the Judaism of the Old Testament anymore, being much more based on rabbinic traditions than on God’s Word. Yet I never thought that the true roots of Judaism today came from Ancient Egypt, but now that I saw this interview, it makes perfect sense, after all, in their hearts the Israelites never really left Egypt, as they continued to serve other gods and fall into the sin of idolatry over and over and over again throughout the centuries.

Towards the end of the second video, the French Historian mentions the Vatican, and the video maker connects it to the Babylon of the book of Revelations. This also makes perfect sense to me, as I have been studying Biblical prophecy and every characteristic of Babylon mentioned in the book of Revelations fits the Vatican perfectly: A city that sits on seven hills (Rome), dressed in scarlet and purple (the official collors of the cardinals and bishops of Rome), she sits on many waters (peoples, multitudes, nations and languages – the Catholic Church has a strong following in many nations all over the world), she has made all the nations drunk with the wine of her adultery (idolatry), she is drunk with the blood of the saints (the Catholic church murdered between 6 and 60 million Protestants during the Inquisition).

If you are a Catholic, and you love God and His Son, and you want to serve them, God has a word for you: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues.”

Every Christian must watch THIS!!!

You MUST see this video, perhaps more than once! This is what the Bride of Christ needs more than anything, more than ever now. Send it to your friends! Pray, seek God’s face! Pray for THIS type of awakening and revival to come into the Church of Jesus Christ NOW!!!

Jesus was no sissy

Relevant article. Someone has to teach our Christian boys and teenagers how to be real men. I personally don’t want any of my boys to act or be like sissies, I want them to learn how to behave like men.

By Coach Dave Daubenmire
November 5, 2009
Excerpts from article found at: http://www.newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave174.htm

I have started a varsity football program at a local Christian High School. Although I vowed to myself that I would never return to prowling the sidelines when I walked away from public education in 2000, the opportunity to train young males to be men was something I could not, in good conscience, run from.

Not all males are men. I hope you understand that. Especially convincing is the evidence I have garnered recently that Christian males in particular are the least manly.

It is cultural, I guess. Someone, somewhere, determined that trading the old man for the new man meant losing your backbone. Heck, you can’t even pass gas at a “men’s fellowship” without being looked at as if you had just pee-peed on the Decalogue. Pastors are the worst. Any whiff of “Christian testosterone” sends them to their Joyce Meyer collection of sermons in an attempt to “soften” your rough edges.

Well, not for me. My new birth made me more manly, more courageous, and more willing to live life on the edge. I like guys with rough edges. In fact, I’d rather hang out with some of my “lost” buddies than some of the sissified males I meet in Christian circles.  It’s like one acquaintance opined after playing a round of golf with me. He knew my “reputation” but had never had the opportunity to spend any time with me.

“I gotta tell you Coach, I really enjoyed playing with you. I hope you don’t take this wrong, but you are not like most Christian guys I know. You’re more…normal…I guess is the word. So many guys I know who go to church seem phony…too sweet for me, if you know what I mean. I could see myself hangin’ out with you more often.”

“Come on, Tim,” I barked back. “I’m just like Jesus. Jesus was studly. I got something to die for now. How many guys do you know who can say that?”

His look of bewilderment spoke volumes. “So Dude…Coach…where do you go to church?”

Our football team is driving me nuts. They are great young men, obedient and mannerly, the kind of kid you could trust with your daughter. But as my own high school football coach often said they need a little “piss and vinegar.” They take the “turn the other cheek” attitude with them onto the field. Our Christian-culture has taught them that being “gracious in defeat” is Christ-like. I tell them being “gracious in victory” is more fun.

Maybe it is just me. I want them to be MEN. Our Christian-culture teaches them to be doormats. In Sunday school they are taught to be kind. I want them to be valiant!

Needless to say, I am swimming upstream on this one. All day long they are taught in school to “act like Christians.” That is the problem, I tell them. Stop ACTING like a Christian and start BEING one.

But we don’t even know what that means. WWJL…What Was Jesus Like? I promise you this. He was all MAN. He confronted evil, challenged the status quo, upset some apple-carts, and spoke what was on His mind. He was the original “Braveheart.”

Come on now. Look around at the Christian role models our young men have to look up to. Most don’t even look like men. What is the word that pop culture has given us…metrosexuals…? Modern Christian men are the ultimate metrosexuals.

What is a metrosexual? According to the Urban Dictionary, it is a guy who uses mousse on his hair, cream on his skin, wears jewelry, and designer clothes. Look at the Pastor your son sees every Sunday. Does he ooze testosterone or progesterone? Is he someone who appears to be steadfast and unmovable or someone who is more compromising and nice?

It matters, you know. What a young man thinks a Christian man looks like, matters. I was raising-Cain with our players last week and I told them “You guys make me want to cuss! The Bible says to be angry and sin not. I want you to know that I am angry enough to cuss…but I’m not going to. You guys would do well to get a little ticked off yourselves.”

But, I suppose Christian men aren’t permitted to get mad anymore. It’s not very Christ-like.

Look at the “Christian-school your child attends. How many women are doing the teaching? How many women know how it feels to be a man…especially a young one? Who do the young men answer to? You got it…women. Who teaches them about Christianity? Bingo…women. Just where is it our young guys go to learn how to be a man?

Can I use myself as an example? I have always been the aggressive type. Arriving fourth out of five children, being small (5’7”) in stature (I was called Baby Dave by my cousins until I was 10), and a natural whipping boy for my older brothers and their friends, I learned early to stand up and fight back. It was that “spunky” attitude that enabled me to be a three sport star in high school, earn varsity letters in football, basketball, and baseball at Otterbein College, and lead the fraternity in weekend drinking binges. “Daubie” was the life of the party…the original “wild and crazy guy.”

In 1987, at the age of 35, I met Jesus. Raised in church as a child, forced by my mother to watch Billy Graham crusades on television, I was religious enough to know right from wrong. Nothing more than a religious pagan, I ran to the altar with fear and trembling when the Gospel was clearly, and uncompromisingly, articulated to me. From that day forward my life has never been the same. Jesus did for me what a phone booth did for Clark Kent; changed me into a brand new man.

Overnight, I had gone from serving the King of Beers to serving the King of Kings and for the next 10 years “men of God” tried to turn me into a sissy… to domesticate me…to conform me to their image of what a “Christian man” should be. Until the ACLU came knocking at my door.

I thank God for the ACLU…they dynamited my sissy hind-end out of the pew. I’ve been on a devil-hunt ever since.

I grew up on John Wayne and Combat, Have-Gun Will-Travel and Paladin. Who can ever forget Matt Dillon and Gunsmoke, Hoss Cartwright and Bonanza, Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry, and Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels in The Lone Ranger?

Today our sons get weenies like Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Clay Aiken, and Zac Efron. Our churches get Joel Osteen, Ed Young, and Ted Haggard.

When I was a young boy the good guys were men, they loved women, and they defended the weak. Today, our leaders “come to consensus,” “reach across the aisle,” and are “open-minded.” Well, not me. I’m closed minded and proud of it. I know what I believe and not afraid to defend it. The prissy-pastors don’t know what to do with me.

I wonder, was Jesus open-minded? Did He preach a message of “consensus building?” Did He use mousse, face cream, and wear designer jeans?”

I was reading this week  (Matt. 16) where folks had trouble differentiating between Jesus and John the Baptist…they were cousins, you know. The establishment wanted nothing to do with The Baptist…he wasn’t polished enough….locusts, camel hair, wild honey…wasn’t in vogue, if you know what I mean.

Jesus flipped over tables, John’s mouth cost him his head. Their paths took them down the same road.

Jesus wasn’t relevant to the world; He overcame it. “ Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.”

Keep your mousse and jewelry and pass me the locusts and the wild-honey.

Jesus was no sissy. It’s time we stopped representing him as one.

Obama’s mindset: God’s Word guilty of “breaking the spirit”!!!

This is scary, people! Just try to imagine what’s coming our way, and how we will be persecuted!!!

How the new “Christian spirituality” is readying the Church to merge with the Antichrist’s One World Religion

This is a great discussion exposing the practises of the Emergent Church, and how it is rapidly readying the Apostate Church to merge with not only Catholicism, but also New Age and the practises of Eastern religions, and ultimately with the interspirituality of the Antichrist’s One World Religion. Do not be deceived: EVERYONE who surrenders their mind and soul and spirit to this kind of teaching will end up being part of the Antichrist’s government, and ultimately they will all take the Mark of the Beast, and be damned forever. Make no mistake about this: unless they repent and turn to the unadultered, true, and ONLY Gospel of Jesus Christ, these people WILL GO TO HELL in the end, so I urge you, my friend, if you consider yourself a Christian, and if you want to serve God, COME OUT from among those apostate churches that are teaching contemplative prayer and other mystical practises, which will only lead you deeper and deeper into the strong delusion that will cause millions to perish. COME OUT of her, My people, says the Lord!!!

 

Are UFOs and aliens real?

I have decided to post this video because I have been seeing a lot of stuff circulating the Internet about some sort of relationship between aliens and endtime events, and also because the author’s conclusion on this controversial topic matches exactly what I have always thought, and also what I teach my children. Please watch the video, and let me know what you think.

Where is the God of Elijah?

Lately I have been thinking a lot about the power of God. You see, I believe we are in the endtimes, most likely not too far from the beginning of the 7 year period mostly called the Great Tribulation (although I believe it is more accurate to say that the Great Tribulation itself will only last 3 ½ years, but that’s another topic). I keep thinking about how life will be for the saints of God once the Mark of the Beast is instituted, and we no longer can buy or sell or participate in the regular economy, being effectively pushed out of society. I ask myself, “How shall we live? Where shall we get our food, water, and electricity? How shall we keep ourselves warm or cool, how shall we care for our children’s need, the needs of our elderly parents, how shall we recover from sickness without access to the medical establishment or to proper medication?” And the answer in fact is quite simple indeed.

We are reminded of the time when the children of Israel were journeying in the desert for 40 years, and God supernaturally sustained them. He caused manna and quail to fall from Heaven, their clothes never wore out, the little one’s shoes grew with their feet (can you imagine shoes that last 40 years while treading on scorching rocks and sand?). They had water gush out from the rock, while at another time God made the bitter waters fresh for them. And even before all that happened, when they were being pursued by Pharoah (a type of the Antichrist) and his army, everyone knows how God miraculously delivered them by parting the Red Sea, and that’s when the Words of the Father ring clearly in our ears: “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!”

Elijah was another godly man who experienced God’s supernatural provision. When he was running from Jezebel, depressed and praying to die, God sent him an angel who cooked for him and told him twice to eat and drink, and being strengthened by those two quick meals, Elijah traveled for 40 days. Earlier the Lord had told him to hide by a brook where He sent ravens twice a day to bring him bread and meat, and later the Lord sustained him through a widow whose provision of flour and oil never ran out as long as the famine lasted.

I strongly believe the saints will see a manifestation of God’s power that will be equivalent to or greater that those experienced by God’s people in the Old Testament, or even in the time of the apostles in the early church.  Remember Daniel 11:32-33 says, ”And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.” And that will happen simply because we will need to rely on God’s supernatural power as never before if we are to survive the Great Tribulation and the wrath of the Antichrist. We will need the gifts of the Spirit like never before, especially gifts such as healing, and working of miracles, but also the Word of knowledge (making us aware of our pursuers’ plans and moves), Word of wisdom (to devise God-given strategies for our survival), the gift of faith (oh, how we will need that one!), and prophecy (warning us of what lies ahead), discernment of spirits (to be able to tell the real from the false, the fire of God from strange fire, the wheat from the tares, God’s signs and wonders from those of the False Prophet), as well as several other supernatural manifestations of God’s power.

I am fully aware of the false prophets, teachers, ministries, doctrines, heresies, and of the general apostasy that’s come upon the church in these last days, as foretold in Scripture, BUT there is a real manifestation of the Holy Spirit and the power of God that we must NEVER forsake or cast away or shun, for by that power the Lord will keep His people in the perilous times which lie ahead, of which we have not even seen a glimpse yet. The Bible says, “Quench not the Holy Spirit; despise not prophesying; prove all things, hold fast to what is good.”

Meanwhile, I ask myself, “Where is the real power of God today? Where are the real gifts? Why don’t we see the real manifestation of God’s power today in the churches?” I think it is mostly due to a lack of holiness, commitment, real conversions (there are so many professing Christians nowadays who have never been born again, even in the pulpits), a lack of godly leadership, of prayer, a lack of faith in the Word, a whole lot of selfishness, selfish ambition, carnal Christianity, and greed, a lifestyle that is way too comfortable, not to mention many other factors. The truth, as we all know, is that the church today for the most part is an apostate church, it has fallen far, far away from the pattern of the church in the book of Acts, looking a lot more like the Church of Laodicea in the book of Revelations. 

Beloved, I urge you to seek God like never before, ask Him to begin preparing you to be a vessel of His power in the days ahead, seek the gifts of the Spirit, so that you may be able to be a blessing to the saints of God in the times of persecution that are about to hit true born again Christians all over the world. Let’s begin to ask, “Where is the God of Elijah?”

God of division

This is a repost I found appropriate for this time:

My dear brethren, I want to convey to you that we are living in unique times. We are living at the end times. A time that Jesus said would be unequaled from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be equaled again, agreeing with Daniel, who prophesied that this would be a time such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until now. There has never been a time like this, nor shall there ever be again. It is a unique opportunity for the church to lift the torch of God’s truth higher than ever. We are called to be watchmen on the walls, blowing the trumpet of warning so that those who will listen might be saved.

But saved from what? That is the point of this message. Those who believe and repent shall be saved from God’s coming wrath. Our Lord Jesus is coming to earth again, but this time He will not come as a suffering lamb, but a conquering lion, a fierce warrior king who will come to fulfill two main purposes: (1) deliver his people – the blood washed nation made up of those who remained connected to the vine, who had bought enough of the oil of His presence for their lamps, who were found wearing the white garments God Himself has provided, those who did not prostitute themselves with worldly idols, those whose hearts were fully His; and (2) judge the wicked – those who have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who have suppressed the truth by their wickedness, haters of God, who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness, those who have claimed to be wise, but are fools, who are filled with all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity, and who not only practice those evil deeds but who also approve of others who do the same.

The Bible says that the Lord is a God of retribution, that in the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; He will soon pour it out, and all the wicked of the earth shall drink it down to its very dregs. Church, this is the message we need to be preaching today. This is the evangelism, not only to the unchurched, but also to all the church folks who are sleeping, oblivious to the signs around them that the Lord’s day is at hand. It is time for prophets to rise who will be bold enough to preach a message like those of John the Baptist and Jeremiah, “Repent lest ye perish, for the kingdom of God is at hand!” Shallow evangelistic messages that stop at “Receive Jesus in your heart” and “Jesus loves you” WON’T DO!!!

The Lord has laid in my heart that He is getting ready to draw down a sharp line to separate the sheep from the goats. It is time to preach “Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve,” for the window of grace won’t always remain open.

While we hear a cry for “Unity!” and “ Peace!” everywhere, our Lord Himself has said He has come to the earth not to bring peace, but FIRE and DIVISION. The following video has a powerful message on this subject that I’d like to share with you. It is based on the text from Luke 12:49-56:

“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!  But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!  Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.  For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.  Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is.  And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There will be hot weather’; and there is.  Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? “

Listen carefully. It will lead you to rethink some of the things you learned in Sunday School.

God bless you!

Obama administration considering sanctions against Israel???

The issue of dividing the land of Israel is of utmost seriousness to God. God will surely bring judgment upon those who promote the division of the land He calls His own (see scripture bellow). This issue will ultimately be  settled by Jesus at His return during the Battle of Armageddon (in the Valley of Jehoshaphat). America would certainly enter a new level of judgment by God should the Obama administration go forth with their intention to support the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian State including such large portions of the land allotted by God to the Jewish people.

Let us pray that God will bring about a change of course in these decisions.

“FOR BEHOLD, in those days and at that time when I shall reverse the captivity and restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them for their treatment of My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and because they have divided My land.” (Joel 3:1-2)

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad

TEL AVIV – The U.S. is considering adopting a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence in the West Bank and Jerusalem regardless of negotiations with the Jewish state, according to Israeli sources speaking to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.

WND first reported in September that according to a top Palestinian Authority official, the Obama administration has largely adopted the positions of the PA to create a Palestinian state within two years based on the pre-1967 borders, meaning Israel would retreat from most of the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.

WND reported that the White House had accepted the positions of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, who had quietly called for a state on the pre-1967 borders within two years.

Now Haaretz is quoting reports indicating that Fayyad has reached a secret understanding with the Obama administration over U.S. recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

Haaretz quoted Israeli sources stating Fayyad’s plan specifies that at the end of a designated period for bolstering national institutions, the PA, in conjunction with the Arab League, would file a “claim of sovereignty” to the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly over the 1967 borders.

Israeli officials further told Haaretz that Fayyad had boasted of positive meetings about his plan with prominent EU member states, including the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Sweden.

Fayyad also told Israeli officials the Obama administration did not oppose his plan.

A senior Israeli foreign-policy official told Haaretz, “It’s a very dangerous move.”

Israeli sources further said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in Washington today, discussed Fayyad’s proposal in previous meetings with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Obama’s Mideast envoy George Mitchell.

Netanyahu reportedly requested the U.S. tell Fayyad that it would not support his proposal and would veto it in the Security Council. Haaretz reported Netanyahu has yet to receive a clear response from Washington on its stance on Fayyad’s plan.

‘Obama can create headache for Netanyahu’

A top PA official told WND in September that the Obama administration told the PA it will support the announcement of a Palestinian state within two years.

The official also said Obama had accepted the PA position that Israeli-Palestinian negotiations begin where they left off under Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who went further than previous Israeli leaders in his concessions to the Palestinians.

Olmert reportedly offered the PA not only 95 percent of the West Bank and peripheral eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods but also other territories never before offered by any Israeli leader, including parts of the Israeli Negev desert bordering Gaza as well as sections of the Jordan Valley.

“We understand from the U.S. that the Netanyahu government is not in a position to go against creating a state within two years,” the PA official said.

The official claimed the Obama administration was ready to ultimately consider “sanctions” against Israel if the Netanyahu government rejected negotiations leading to a Palestinian state. The official refused to clarify which sanctions he was referring to or whether he was specifically told by the U.S. government it would consider sanctions.

Obama can make a “headache” for Netanyahu if the Israeli leader does not conduct negotiations leading within two years to a Palestinian state, the PA official claimed.

X-Men: Marked for life – discernment ministry in light of Eze 9:1-11 (A must read!!!)

Beloved, I want to share my joy with you today for answered prayer: for some time now I have been asking the Lord to hook me up with like-minded believers, and with people who know more than I do, who have something to teach me, who understand the times we are living in, people who are different from the Christians and leaders surrounding me at my physical church (I’ll expound on that at a later post), and just these last few days I have encountered a number of excellent blogs and sites to learn from. I am trully thankful to the Lord for that, and for all of you also, who add so much to my spiritual life with your comments and insights during our discussions. Glory to God!!!

The following article is most excellent, and it spoke volumes to me! I know it will bless you also, my fellow truthseekers. Please read it, it will be worth your time.

Following article written by Pastor Larry DeBruyn, originally found at http://www.frbaptist.org/bin/view/Ptp/PtpTopic20090916205418, although I came accross it here: http://herescope.blogspot.com/2009/09/x-men.html (another EXCELLENT site)

Someone once said that sin is as much breaking God’s heart as it is His Law. When God looked down on the perversity of the people on earth before the Deluge, it was recorded that He “was grieved in His heart” (Genesis 6:6b). When confronted by resident wickedness both without and within the professing church, Christians can manifest one of three reactions: approval (1 Corinthians 5:2), indifference (Zephaniah 1:12), or disapproval as indicated by the presence of either anger (Psalm 119:53) or grief (Psalm 119:136). So the question becomes, as we see the worldliness-wickedness invading the church, how do we feel about it? Are we agitated by, indifferent to, or accommodating of it?

Not unlike the society and church of our times, during Ezekiel’s ministry Judah found herself in a moral and spiritual “melt down.” Fraud, violence, adultery, and idolatry were running rampant amongst God’s chosen people. Idols had been set up in the Temple (Ezekiel 8:17; 9:9).

From his location in Babylon, the Lord took Ezekiel on a virtual reality tour of the Temple, the place where on the Mercy Seat beneath the Cherubim, God’s Shekinah glory was to have been seated (Ezekiel 8:4). What he saw in that place of worship stunned the prophet. On his guided tour of the inner court, the Lord showed the prophet where first the people had substituted an idol image for Yahweh; where second, the elders worshiped animals; where third, the women sobbed over the death of Tammuz, a mythological fertility god who had married the Egyptian goddess Ishtar; and where fourth, the priests worshiped the sun (Ezekiel 8:5-18). Up-close and personal, the prophet saw how the nation had abominated into apostasy, how Israel had turned from worshiping the Creator to idolizing the creation and its creatures (See Romans 1:21-23.).

Yet in the midst of all those “alternative spiritualities,” and like the remnant of Elijah’s day who refused to bow their knee to Baal and kiss the idol god (1 Kings 19:18), some believers preserved themselves to be holy unto the Lord. So the Lord instructed the angel dressed in white to mark an “X” on the foreheads of the faithful, a mark that would spare them from the coming divine judgment (circa 600 BC).[1]

Most have heard about “the mark of the beast”, the mark the deceived will receive at the end of the age, an identity without which they will neither be able to buy or sell (Revelation 14:9-12). The prophet Ezekiel wrote about a different mark, an “X” that was to be written on the foreheads of those in Judah who had refused to go along with the popular spiritual trends of that day. The “X” would spare them from the coming divine wrath. So the Lord instructed the angel: “Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst” (Ezekiel 9:4). Pause with me . . . for a moment let’s project back to that era and ask ourselves the following question: If we had been alive in Ezekiel’s day, would the angel have marked us to be spared from divine judgment?

It was a remnant who strongly disapproved of the apostasy of the majority. In the words of the Lord, they groaned and sighed over the “abominations” (Ezekiel 8:6, 9, 13, 15, 17; 9:4) they saw being committed in the name of religion in their midst. What they saw sickened them to the core of their spiritual and emotional being. Would the angel have marked us if we had lived in that day? We should check out our feelings. Charles Feinberg observed: “Grief is always the portion of those who know the Lord in an evil day. The marked ones were penitent and faithful at a time of widespread departure from the will of the Lord.”[2] Another commentator adds that the criterion for receiving the mark was “an affair of the heart–a passionate concern for God and His people. Failing that, there was no mark . . .”[3]

Some in the mainstream Christian media have called those involved in discernment ministry “Christian attack dogs.”[4] Maybe a better metaphor-label would be “Christian guard dogs”! Discerners so love their Master (i.e., the Lord Jesus Christ) and His Bride (i.e., the church) that they agonize to protect His truth and her purity.

Allow me to propose a litmus test as to whether or not we might have been marked in Ezekiel’s day. But before asking some questions, we should note the Apostle Peter’s warning: “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you” (2 Peter 2:1; Compare Matthew 7:13-15; Jude 17-19.). Based upon Peter’s prediction, does the worldliness that is invading the church bother us? (James 4:4) Does it concern us when we see churches being manipulated by the mechanics of church growth, when the end of growth justifies any means to achieve it? (2 Corinthians 2:17) Does it bother our souls to see the goal of growth eclipsing the Gospel, to see methods employed usurping the Message preached? (Romans 1:16) Does it grieve us to observe the church believing God’s truth less while enjoying “worship celebrations” more? (Matthew 15:8-9) Does the rampant immorality amongst professing evangelicals cause us to sigh? (1 Corinthians 5:2) Were you bothered a few years ago when one evangelical leader, who led a movement in his state to preserve the institution of traditional marriage, was cornered into admitting that he solicited sex from a male prostitute? (Jeremiah 23:14) Do false teachers with their strange and unbiblical teachings annoy you? (Revelation 2:2) Given our media age, does the development of the personality cults around evangelical leaders and speakers, where appearance and a schmoozing style trump substance, concern us? (1 Corinthians 1:12; 2 Peter 2:3; Jude 16) Are some of us even unaware that there are such critters as false teachers who stupefy their followers with their heretical teachings? (Romans 16:17) Does it upset us to see the Christian faith being publicly maligned for reason of the immoral behavior and unbiblical teachings prevalent amongst professing evangelicals? (2 Peter 2:2) In short, are we discerners? (Hebrews 5:14) If we are not, then we should not expect to be marked.

Well, you might be asking, how can we know whether or not a person is a false teacher? Through Jeremiah the Lord provided this description of false prophets: “The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds” (Jeremiah 14:14). Of such prophets Jeremiah said that, “They speak a vision of their own imagination, not from the mouth of the Lord” (Jeremiah 23:16b). Again, I ask you, do you know of any false prophets today? You may protest the question saying, “Well, I know men who speak for God who are true.” But that’s not the question. Do you know any false teachers? I know this is a discomforting question–but do you? If you don’t, I would say that you have a very grave problem . . . a very grave problem indeed. And it is this: You may not value God’s truth enough to know what it is and thereby be incapable of discerning “the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:4-6).

From his study of human history, a famous historian once remarked how he observed that the majority was seldom right. Jesus agreed. He said: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.” He continued to say, “For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.”

Then the Lord concluded: “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:13-15). Interesting, isn’t it . . . that the Lord warned the multitudes to watch out for false prophets in the very context in which He differentiated the way of the majority from the Way of the minority. Jesus knew that to their own destruction the majority will follow the way of the false prophets and teachers. They will not be marked out for salvation. They will not be “X-Men”. Like the compromisers of Ezekiel’s day, they went along to get along. So allow me to ask you again: Dear Reader, do you know of any false prophets around today, or are you living in denial, in “a spiritual never-never land”? Will you choose to remain unwarned by the very warning that Jesus and the rest of the prophets and apostles warned you about; mainly, that false prophets and teachers will arise who will lead multitudes to walk the broad way leading to destruction? Remember: Seldom is the majority right.

For any Christians concerned to discern, they may be comforted to know they’re taking the narrow Way. A spirit of discernment is symptomatic of true faith. The Lord’s sheep care, yes, even “sigh and groan” when they see fellow evangelicals lapsing into worldliness and ungodliness. Goats however, are unmoved (Matthew 25:31-46). Yet the caring can be comforted to know that their discernment evidences their solidarity with the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Being concerned to discern marks them out– “X” — as true believers (See 1 John 2:18-24.). Yet the overriding emotion of discernment ought to be that of grief. Yes, there may be a time for anger. God gets angry. He was with Ezekiel’s generation, so much so that after He had told the angel in white to mark the believing remnant, the Lord instructed the other six angels, “Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” (Ezekiel 9:5b-6). Yet we must remember that, “the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God” (James 1:20).

So it’s truly a sad day when we see those professing to know God believing and behaving as if they do not. So it’s significant to note that the divine judgment was to begin in the sanctuary and then work its way out through Jerusalem and the rest of the entire nation (Compare 1 Peter 4:17.). This order of judgment compelled Paul to command the congregation at Rome: “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple” (Romans 16:17-18, KJV). But if we are to engage in such marking, we ought to be reminded that the accompanying emotion ought to be one of grief. Yet we ought also to be reminded that in the end those who refuse to mark false teachers may not be marked by the Lord to be spared divine judgment.

Islam – Religion of peace? Right!!!!!!!!

This is a very eye opening video, as it shows two Muslim men making entirely contradicting statements in New York City. The first one is inside a mosque, and he tells the interviewer that they (the Muslims in that mosque) want to show the world what the real Islam is all about: “Islam is about peace, Islam is about moderation, Islam is about friendship. Islam opposes any kind of hatred against anybody.” Right after that, we see two passionate Muslims preaching in the streets of New York, and then we see the reporter explaining that, if you are not a Muslim, you are considered by them as a disbeliever. After that, Younes Abdullah Mohammed unashamedly reveals their true agenda and what Islam is really all : “We are commanded to terrorize disbelievers,and this is a religion, like I said. In the Qu’ran it says this very clearly in the Arabic language, and this means terrorize them. It’s a command from Alah.” So there is no excuse whatsoever for politicians such as Obama to commend or praise Islam in any way, shape or form.

Nowhere to hide (Terror in the womb)

As always, Coach Dave Daubenmire gives us an outstanding and insightful piece of writing. This article is amazing!

“Therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.” Ezekiel. 35:6

Abortion is the seminal issue of our generation. The consequences of it are more deadly than the economy, the loss of jobs, and the larceny of liberty. In fact, it is deeply connected to everything happening to this nation.

God hates those who shed innocent blood. We would do well to do likewise. There was a day when we did, you know. America hasn’t always been so calloused towards the unborn. Can there be a greater evil than the murder of innocent baby boys and girls inside their mommy’s womb?

But we give baby killing a sanitized name. We call it “choice.” Who can be against choice? (With the exception of the National Education Association) If you have the courage, watch this short, VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO of an abortion. If you watch it, you will never call abortion “choice” again.

Can you imagine the terror that those innocent little babies endure as the cold steel instruments pierce their tiny bodies? Can there be a greater example of bullying? For that precious little human being about to be dismembered, there is nowhere to hide.

It is funny the way my mind works. When I heard of the tragic news out of Fort Hood, my mind immediately “googled” abortion. What safer place should there be for a soldier than an American military base?

“The womb.” Returned my thoughts. “The only safer place should be the womb. If a baby is not safe in his/her mother’s womb, no one is safe anymore.” Terror in the womb gives birth to terror in the world.

Until we stop abortion, no place in America is safe…blood will pursue you….There is nowhere to hide.

All of our safe zones have been breached. Bounded by two oceans, who would have ever imagined that our enemies could reach us in America? But “Major Muslim” once again exposes to us our vulnerability. America is no longer safe….not in our homes, not in our schools, not in our malls, not in our churches, and not on our military bases. Terror in the womb, produces terror in the world.

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91 Without the protection of Jesus there is nowhere to hide.

God not only judges people, He judges nations. The Bible is replete with examples. Read This. America is under judgment. It is time to stop the self-denial.

Let me make a connection for you. I’ll tell you what very few will. Islam is NOT a religion of peace. It is a rod that the Lord is using to chastise America. We are blind to it. Our leaders are suicidal…oblivious that blood will pursue us…and that “God is angry with the wicked everyday.” Abortion is wicked…and God is ticked.

Political correctness, diversity, and tolerance are the instruments that God is using to bring judgment. “Professing ourselves to be wise we have become fools.” He has sent our way “a strong delusion and we believe the most obvious of lies. That is what political correctness is…telling lies to look good.

According to the website TheReligionofPeace before the courts illegally permitted child-killing on January 22, 1973 only TWO acts of Islamic terror had ever occurred on American soil. From that day forward, blood has pursued America. When the safety of the womb was breached, the safety of our borders was as well.

There is now nowhere to hide.

Our nation has fallen in love with death. It is the fruit of having turned our back to God. Christians have become comfortable with death. America finds itself in a perpetual state of undeclared wars and we cheer our government’s attempts to kill around the globe in the name of “democracy.” Some of the greatest cheerleaders for killing other nation’s citizens are Christians.

Our sewers run red with the blood of 50 million unborn babies rinsed down the drains. That blood cries out to God.

Look, I know that many of you will have trouble following my logic. The reason for that is that many have failed to acknowledge the reality of an all-powerful God. Even some who claim to be Christians do not understand the totality of His Dominion. They have been taught a “compartmentalized Christianity” where a “personal” God is involved with one’s daily life, but that this same God takes a “hands off” approach when it comes to dealing with national sins.

Benjamin Franklin in his famous appeal during the Continental Convention opined “I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without His notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without His Aid?”

We could use such wisdom today. Sin has consequences. The murders at Fort Hood and the murder in the womb are both “Man Made Disasters.”

Yes my friends, God judges nations. Blood has a voice and it cries for vengeance. Blood is in hot pursuit of America. It is running in torrents down our streets. No one is safe, no place is secure. Sin has blinded our eyes.

A Muslim murders innocent Americans and our leaders “look for a motive.” The media makes excuses for why Hasan lived out his beliefs.

We kill our children in the womb. Our son’s and daughter’s are Dying For Islam. Health care reform sets its sights on old people.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deut 30:19

…Therefore choose life…

“But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23

The walls have been breached. There is nowhere to hide.

What will you have to show for your life in the end?

Although this video is an introduction to a Bible school, I found it highly instigating. In this time and hour, we must ask ourselves what we are trully investing our lives, our time, and our energy in. Are we so caught up with the cares of this world that we have lost sight of the eternal matters of God’s Kingdom, or are we seeking to devote ourselves more and more to our Father’s business? Where are we setting our affections, on things which have an eternal weight or on the fleeting pursuits of this worldly life we now, for a short season, live in our bodies?

The narrator quotes a very well known Bible passage in the Amplified version, which brought me a brand new depth of understanding: (2 Cor. 4:17-18): “For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.”

Wow! How profound are the thoughts of our God and how unsearchable His riches!

Are the Palestinians going to unilaterally declare their independance?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the US right now, and he has requested a meeting with President Obama. Watch this video to see Mr. Irvin Baxter explain how this meeting is prophetic in nature.

Roman Catholic Church – the Babylon in the book of Revelations

This is a very interesting video that touches on the subject of the Roman Catholic Church being the Babylon spoken of in the book of Revelations. I have just recently watched an excellent Bible prophecy lesson on this topic, and this video confirms exactly what that lesson showed. The lesson I have mentioned can be found at http://www.endtime.com/video-viewer?ID=UTE1-03B-01, under level 2, lesson 13.

Come out of her, My people, says the Lord!

This video is terrifying, and it speaks for itself. No comments needed.

Stay out of The Shack

 I have posted an article on The Shack before, but I decided to now post a couple of videos that can give an overall understanding of the heresies contained in that book. It trully puzzles me how so many Christians (such as my best friend along with my own pastor) can be enamoured of a book containing so many gross theological errors and such dangerous doctrines of demons as The Shack. I STRONGLY recommend EVERYONE against reading that book, as I’m convinced it is saturated with a strong deceptive spirit that will linger and wreak havoc in a person’s spiritual life, perhaps even with eternal consequences.

Scripture warnings on doctrinal error

I thought I’d search the scriptures to find passages that deal with false teachings, false prophets and a “different gospel,” as everyday I am more and more astonished by the errors I see running rampart in the churches today, the ease with which “Christians”  fall into the traps of wrong doctrines and false teachings, the way they do not check the spirits to see if they are indeed from God, the way they fail to behave like the Berean Christians who refused to be deceived. Yes, beloved, the Falling Away as prophecied by Paul in 2 Thess. 2:3 is here, and thousands are departing from the faith. Let us contend earnestly for the faith as Jude exhorted us to do, and turn as many as we possibly can back to the true and only Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is forever praised!

Matt 7:15-20  Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?  Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.  Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Matt 24:11-12 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

Matt 24:24-25  For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  See, I have told you beforehand.

Luke 12:1-3  In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

Matt 16:12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Gal 5:7-9 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Phil 3:18-19 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame–who set their mind on earthly things.

2 Peter 2:1-3 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

2 Cor 11:13-14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

1 Tim 4:1-2 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,  speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.

Acts 20:29-31 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

2 Cor 11:3-4 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted – you may well put up with it!

Gal 1:6-10 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Jude 3-4 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Obama green-lights Arab land grab

By Aaron Klein, at WorldNetDaily.  Original article found at: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=116154

TEL AVIV – A top Palestinian Authority official told WND that the PA reached an understanding with the Obama administration regarding a Palestinian threat to unilaterally ask the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state outside of negotiations with Israel.

Ahmed Qurei, former PA prime minister and member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization executive committee, said in an interview that the PA “reached an understanding with important elements within the administration” to possibly bring to the U.N. Security Council a resolution to unilaterally create a Palestinian state.

Asked to which “elements” he was referring, Qurei would only say they were from the Obama administration.

A top PA negotiator, speaking on condition of anonymity, named the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, and National Security Council member Samantha Power as among the Obama administration officials who were involved with the Palestinians’ U.N. threat.

Despite widespread assumptions the U.S. would veto any such U.N. Security Council resolution, the PA negotiator said that in initial discussions, the Obama administration did not threaten to veto their conceptual unilateral resolution.

“The U.S. told us that they prefer a negotiated settlement with Israel, but if we (Palestinians) insist on a resolution, the Americans will not necessarily reject it,” the PA negotiator said.

“The U.S. has a history of never before vetoing any U.N. move to create a new state,” the negotiator pointed out.

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said yesterday the Palestinians had decided to turn to the U.N. Security Council to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.

Salam Fayyad

Separately, the negotiator, who spoke on   condition of anonymity, said that the Obama administration is “totally on board” with a plan by Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to create a state on the pre-1967 borders within two years.

WND first reported in September that according to a top PA official, the Obama administration has largely adopted the positions of the Palestinian West Bank leadership to create a Palestinian state within two years based on the pre-1967 borders, meaning Israel would retreat from most of the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.

The PA negotiator WND spoke with yesterday said that his authority’s primary goal now is to secure a letter of support from the Obama administration affirming the U.S. commitment to a pre-1967 Palestinian state within two years.

Benjamin Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday hit back at the PA plan to unilaterally declare a state, warning such a move will be met by “one-sided Israeli measures.” He did not elaborate.

“There is no substitute for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and any unilateral attempts outside that framework will unravel the existing agreements between us and could entail unilateral steps by Israel,” Netanyahu told a high-level gathering of Israeli and American policy makers at the Saban Forum in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu stressed that in order to achieve peace, “negotiations must resume immediately.” He affirmed Israel was prepared to begin talks “with a generous spirit.”

“I want to stress that we are willing to take steps that will help in advancing the peace process, but it must begin, there is no reason to waste time,” said the Israeli leader.

While negotiations were not easy, Netanyahu said, “there is no other way to bring about change.”

In September, a senior PA official told WND that aside from supporting a Palestinian state in the pre-1967 borders, the Obama administration also had accepted the PA position that Israeli-Palestinian negotiations begin where they left off under Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who went further than previous Israeli leaders in his concessions to the Palestinians.

Olmert reportedly offered the PA not only 95 percent of the West Bank and peripheral eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods but also other territories never before offered by any Israeli leader, including parts of the Israeli Negev desert bordering Gaza as well as sections of the Jordan Valley.

“We understand from the U.S. that the Netanyahu government is not in a position to go against creating a state within two years,” the PA official said.

The official claimed the Obama administration was ready to ultimately consider “sanctions” against Israel if the Netanyahu government rejected negotiations leading to a Palestinian state. The official refused to clarify which sanctions he was referring to or whether he was specifically told by the U.S. government it would consider sanctions.

The PA official claimed Obama can make a “headache” for Netanyahu if the Israeli leader does not conduct negotiations leading within two years to a Palestinian state.

Maitreya is not the Antichrist

Our sister Karensera has put out a very insightful video on YouTube, with which I must say I agree 100%. It’s also important also to point out that the Antichrist will be a figure in the political arena, not the spiritual. As this sister stresses at the end of the video, careful study of scripture is required of us these times, since there is and there will be so much deception going around.

U.S. angry with Israel

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel triggered a fresh rift with Washington over settlement building on Tuesday by approving the building of 900 homes for Jews on West Bank land it occupied in a 1967 war and annexed to its Jerusalem municipality.

The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth said U.S. President Barack Obama’s envoy, George Mitchell, had asked an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at a meeting in London on Monday, to block the proposed construction at the settlement of Gilo.

But a government planning commission approved the addition of 900 housing units at Gilo, where 40,000 Israelis already live.

The Israeli decision drew an unusually sharply worded rebuke from the White House, which said it was “dismayed” and accused Israel of undermining Obama’s efforts to resume peace talks with Palestinians stalled since December.

Robert Gibbs

“At a time when we are working to relaunch negotiations, these actions make it more difficult for our efforts to succeed,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said.

In his statement, Gibbs also said the United States objected to continued evictions and demolitions of Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also deplored the Israeli move, spokesman Farhan Haq said. Ban “believes that such actions undermine efforts for peace and cast doubt on the viability of the two-state solution” for Israelis and Palestinians, he said.

Nabil Abu Rdaineh, aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said Israel’s move “destroys the last chances for the peace process.” Abbas has said peace talks stalled since December may resume only once Israel freezes settlement construction.

A spokesman for Nir Barkat, the Israeli mayor of Jerusalem, seemed to confirm the newspaper report about Mitchell’s request, saying Barkat “strongly objects to the American demand to halt construction in Jerusalem.”

Israel rejects the international description of Gilo as a settlement and says it is a neighborhood of Jerusalem, the city it claims as its capital.

Some 500,000 Jews live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, also captured in 1967, among 2.7 million Palestinians.

Israel annexed East Jerusalem after the 1967 war, a move that was not recognized internationally. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a state they hope to establish in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

STALEMATE

Mark Regev, a spokesman for Netanyahu, had said in response to the newspaper report that “Prime Minister Netanyahu, in order to get the peace process back on track, is willing to adopt the policy of the greatest possible restraint concerning growth in the West Bank — but this applies to the West Bank.”

“Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and will remain as such,” he said, stating an Israeli position not recognized by world powers.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki said Israel’s decision was a further step “intended to prevent the Palestinian state from happening.”

Britain’s consulate-general in Jerusalem also condemned the Israeli move saying “this decision on Gilo is wrong and we oppose it.”

Obama is pressing for a resumption of peace talks and has asked Israel to show restraint on settlements while seeking to persuade Abbas to resume negotiations without a total freeze on the construction.

Netanyahu has offered a temporary restriction on building projects, but Abbas has rejected this as insufficient, both in scale and because it does not include areas Israel annexed to Jerusalem.

Palestinian officials asked the United Nations and the European Union earlier this week to consider whether they might at some point endorse the framework of a Palestinian state without a negotiated solution to the conflict with Israel.

Mark of the Beast alert!!!

Just so we keep our minds and our spirits on alert, brothers and sisters, I recommend you watch this video, for it has important information in it.

How the spirit of the Antichrist takes over

I’m writing this post to provide an example of how the spirit of the Antichrist can take over a once seemingly consecrated Christian. I say seemingly because to me it is difficult to believe that someone who is trully consecrated to God and walking with Him could subscribe to the spirit of Antichrist like this. Let me give you a brief history that will better illustrate my point:

Well, before Barack Hussein Obama was elected president last year, my family used to be totally into Black Gospel music. We used to attend a predominantly Black congregation, play with the band and the choir, and listen to a lot of Black Gospel artists at home all the time. Come Nov. 4 2008, all that changed drastically. I could no longer feel at home at hardly any Black church anymore, because I could simply not fellowship with people who had aligned themselves with the spirit of Antichrist. The same happened concerning Black Gospel music. We simply don’t play it at our home anymore.

When I first started the blog, I put up a music page with praise and worship songs I really like. One of them is Alpha and Omega, sang live by Israel Houghton. It was one of the most beautiful instances of congregational worship I have ever seen. I’m reposting this video (the second one below) for you to see what I mean.

Today, by chance, I came across his website and found a few songs of his newest album, entitled “The Power of One.” The title in itself raised my eyebrow, but I went on to listen to some of the songs. The title song is what I’d like to share with you. Here are the lyrics:

What if it all depended on me.
To change the world.
To change the world?
What if my only responsibility was to change the world.
To change the world? Let me be the ONE.
To start a revolution.
Let me sing my song to the people of the
world. It all begins with.

ONE THE POWER OF ONE.
JOINING THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BELIEVING IN ONE.
THE POWER OF ONE. DON’T HANG AROUND. STAND UP OR SIT DOWN.
AND BELIEVE WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER
WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER

What kind of love can conquer disease.
And change the world. And change the world?
What can I do to make poverty history.
And change the world. And change the world?
Let me be the ONE. To start a revolution.
Let me sing my song to the people of the world.
To the children of the world.

It all begins with…
ONE THE POWER OF ONE.
JOINING THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BELIEVING IN ONE.
THE POWER OF ONE. DON’T HANG AROUND. STAND UP OR SIT DOWN.
AND BELIEVE WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER
WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER

Please don’t close your eyes
Please don’t turn away. Let your voices rise.
Put love on display. And make a difference now.
I believe you and me. Can make a difference now.
Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh Oh oh oh It all begins with ONE.

Can you believe this? The same guy who in the second video is worshipping the Lord apparently in spirit and in truth, now comes up with this??? That’s what the spirit of the Antichrist will do, unfortunately, to so-called Christians everywhere. My heart bleeds daily for the Black church in America.There is a handful of Black pastors who have not sided with Obama, but their number is few indeed. I don’t know of any Black gospel musician, though, who has stood his/her ground against this spirit. Do you? If you do know of any, please let me know. I’m crazy to hear uncompromised Black Gospel music again!!!

Bible prophecy fulfilled yesterday – Rise of the Revived Holy Roman Empire

This is something we definitely need to keep an eye on, for it might very well mean that the kingdom out of which the Antichrist will rise (the Revived Holy Roman Empire)  is being established right before or eyes. For those who think we are not quite in the Endtimes yet, and not really that close to the Lord’s Second Coming, better think again!

New World Order being predicted by economist, on TV!!!

Guys, this is pretty amazing. I mean, the economist in the video predicts that the collapse of the dollar will naturally lead to a One World Government, and then to a New World Order, just like that. I had never seen this said so openly on TV like that, have you? And he says it so nonchalantly,  like it’s the only thing to be expected, everybody knows that… There is not even any effort to cover this up anymore, brethren. This train is moving, and it’s moving fast! Dear friend, get right with God, if you’re not! Repent, if you haven’t! Turn to Jesus and away from evil, if you want to escape the wrath of Almighty God and be on the winning side, for TIME IS SHORT INDEED!

Oprah announces end of talk show. Hmmmm… I wonder why…

I just saw this in the news today. The first thing that came to my mind is that she is being tapped to be part of something much, much greater than her talk show, and she will need to devote herself fully to some “higher” pursuits… the Peace Alliance, the One World Government, the One World Religion perhaps? I’d love to hear y’all’s take on that!

Roman Catholic Church – the Babylon of Revelations part 2

This is part 2 of a video posted on YouTube by Nodoubt257, and it goes deeper into the subject of the Roman Catholic Church being Babylon, the Great Whore of the book of Revelations. In this video, the subject of Mariolatry (the worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus) is analyzed in depth, and the connection between Mary and the Queen of Heaven spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah is well established. Come out of her, My people, says the Lord!

Iran holds its largest-ever war drills

Biggest war game begins day after Tehran cleric threatened Tel Aviv

JERUSALEM – Iran began today what it said was its largest-ever military drill meant to protect the country’s scattered nuclear sites, state-run Iranian media reported.

The drill comes one day after a senior Iranian cleric warned the Islamic Republic will strike Tel Aviv with missiles if attacked.

“If the enemy should want to test its bad luck in Iran, before the dust from its missiles settles in this country, Iran’s ballistic missiles would land in the heart of Tel Aviv,” said cleric Mojtaba Zolnour, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

Brigadier-General Ahmad Mighani told Iran’s Fars news agency military drills will begin today and will last five days. He said the drills will cover 600,000 square kilometers (230,000 square miles) in parts of central, western and southern Iran.

Mighani said the drills involve Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards and other military units and that the exercises will simulate a real attack on Iran’s nuclear installations.

The official Islamic Republic News Agency said yesterday the war drills would be “huge.”

Mighani was quoted calling the drills “the biggest war game.”

“The aim of the drill is to display Iran’s combat readiness and military potentials,” Mighani said.

“Defense policies, psychological operations and innovations during the war game are among the objectives of the drills,” he added.

The Burka Barbie OR When Barbie meets Sharia

The Burka Barbie

One of the world’s most famous children’s toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover – wearing a burkha.

Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby’s for Save The Children.

More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.

…The company director of Laird Assessors from The Wirral, Cheshire, said: ‘Bring it on Burkha Barbie, I think this is a great idea.

“I think this is really important for girls, wherever they are from they should have the opportunity to play with a Barbie that they feel represents them.”

Global warming sham EXPOSED!!!!!!!!!!! – Climate change panic designed to bring about One World Government

This story that just broke out a couple of days ago is AMAZING!!! God bless the hacker that got us that information! (I know hacking is against the law, and I’m not saying that God approves of breaking the law, but how else would we have acquired such invaluable proof?)

Remember: Climate change panic is designed to bring about One World Government, and massive wealth redistribution!

If you have not heard this story before, you have got to see these videos NOW!

Judicial tyranny – Biological mom ordered to give up child – judge orders her to turn daughter over to former lesbian partner

Just when you think there is no way the courts can become more tyrannical, and judges cannot possibly make worse decisions, here comes this.  It is nothing short of preposterous. Let’s pray for this sister, as she faces the wrath of the enemy through this radical, activist, pro-homosexual society we now live in. Let’s also pray for her little girl, who is deeply disturbed when forced to be in contact with the homosexual lifestyle, since for as long as she can remember, she has been brought up in a Christian home.

A Vermont judge rules Lisa Miller must turn over her daughter to her former lesbian partner.

Superior Judge William Cohen ruled last week that Lisa Miller, a former lesbian who is now a Christian, must hand her daughter, Isabelle, over to her former partner, Janet Jenkins by Jan. 1.

Miller conceived Isabella through artificial insemination while she was in a civil union with Jenkins.  About a year later, Miller left homosexuality.

Jenkins sued for custody, even though she has no biological tie to the child.

Miller admits she made mistakes, like signing a custody agreement while still in the relationship with Jenkins, but Mathew Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel and legal counsel for Miller, said that wouldn’t stop him from appealing the decision to the Vermont Supreme Court.

“This judge in Vermont ultimately ruled that he is going to switch custody from Lisa Miller,” he said, “and take her own biological daughter Isabella and move her from Virginia and put her into an activist lesbian household up in Vermont with a person she really doesn’t know, who’s not her biological mother, and frankly who’s not acted as a parent.”

The courts had ordered to spend time with Jenkins in the past, and Miller complied until her daughter complained.

“Every time that the visitation actually occurred, Isabella had violent reactions, because Janet exposed her to the lesbian lifestyle,” Staver said.  “(Jenkins) tried to convince her that she has two moms and even tried to scare her by saying that she was going to be taken from Lisa and transferred to Vermont.”

Eventually, Miller refused the court-ordered visitations.

Historically, courts have sided with the biological mother in custody battles, and Staver said the judge has never questioned Miller’s fitness as a parent.

“How can a third party, a stranger,” he asked, “interfere with the parental rights of a biological parent when that parent is fit?”

Rena Lindevaldsen, professor at Liberty University School of Law, said it’s another example of where activist courts are taking the culture.

“To have the first reported decision in the country stripping a biological mother of her child,” she said, “solely because she has refused to give visitation to a legal stranger, is shocking.

“There’s a lot of talk nowadays about drawing that line in the sand and understanding that government can’t order certain things.  When you’re ordering a child to be stripped from her biological mother, you’ve got to wonder, has the court overstepped its bounds?”

 

The global design

This article is a great way to get well acquainted with just what exactly the One Worlders are planning for humanity, and why we Christians, the Bible,  and our one and only true God absolutely do not fit in their “ideal” society!

Giving thanks to an unknown “god”

“My own faith is rooted in the unshakable belief in God… and an awareness of a constant and holy spiritual presence in all people, all life, and all things.” Former vice president, Al Gore

 

“I am a Christian…. I believe that there are many paths to the same place…. I am a great admirer of our founding charter… and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country…. I think Gandhi is a great example of a profoundly spiritual man who… never slipped into intolerance or dogma.” Former Senator, Barack Obama

“Lift us to the level of the universal…. Chant the names of the gods. Start with om: Om Krishna… Om Buddha…” A United Religions worship service (UR was founded by an Anglican bishop)

“The Buddha said, ‘You are God yourself.’” Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol

If you have read 1984 by George Orwell, you probably remember Big Brother’s mind-changing creed:

“War is PEACE. Freedom is SLAVERY. Ignorance is STRENGTH.”

It illustrates the Soviet double-speak used to confuse, transform, and then unify a compliant mass of contented slaves. And now, seventy years after its publication, Orwellian double-speak is spreading this confusion faster than ever. In this upside-down world, wrong seems right, good is called evil, and lies are simply the new convenient truths. Since feelings count more than facts, illusion reigns, oppression spreads, Jihad is justified, and the Bible is banned!

The true God behind our national Thanksgiving celebrations doesn’t conform to America’s changing values. But other spiritual options are filling the gaps as they sweep across our land. Blinding eyes to His truth, they cloud history, and mock the faith that built honesty, truth, and integrity into America’s foundation. Sad to say, that foundation is now crumbling fast. As God warned us,

“…when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them… [then] your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God. …you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’ …if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods… you shall surely perish.” Deuteronomy 8:10-19

THE RISE OF A GLOBAL SPIRITUALITY

On September 17, 1995, I signed in at Mikhail Gorbachev’s well guarded State of the World Conference as an official [amateur] reporter. I wanted a first-hand glimpse of the global plans for the 21st Century — plans that helped build the foundation for today’s rapid change.

This was clearly a global event. The former head of the Soviet Union had gathered “nearly 500 senior states-people, political leaders, spiritual leaders, scientists, intellectuals, business executives, artists and youth from 50 nations to begin a process of deliberation on the central question of what priorities, values and actions should guide humanity as it moves into the next phase of development.” As Gorbachev announced,

“From the outset I would like to suggest that we consider the establishment of a global Brain Trust [forget representative government] to focus on the present and future of our civilization … this idea of a Brain Trust can only succeed if endorsed and actively pursued by people who are widely respected as world leaders and global citizens.”

The elite speakers and partners in this venture included the elder president George Bush, Carnegie Chairman David Hamburg, Ted Turner, Maurice Strong ( the New Age head of the UN’s 1992 environmental conference in Rio de Janeiro), and Zbigniew Brzezinski, founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller. Thirteen years later he became a foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama.

An elegant Baha’i singer in a flowing white gown set the spiritual tone with a prayer to her universal god: “O faithful One… O helping one… Source of all being…” The music was her own, she said — given by the unknowable, compassionate god of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and other spiritual avatars throughout time.

Her prayer-song fit the conference theme. As Mikhail Gorbachev observed during a dialogue on a new form of democracy,

“…there was no trace of the futile debate about what is better, capitalism or socialism… We should seek a synthesis of ideas and values that have proven their viability…”

That synthesis abolishes all Biblical absolutes. Again and again, the Communist leader and his hand-picked “council of the wise” or “global brain trust” told the assembly of more than 1000 guests and participants that a new set of inclusive universal values must replace the Judeo-Christian world view. Familiar terms must be redefined to fit the new global perspective, while the old beliefs and political systems must be abandoned.

Like many other speakers, New Age author Dr. Deepak Chopra repeated the call for synthesis in his evening plenary speech. He challenged his friendly listeners with this question:

“Can you step out of the river of your own conditioning…? For only then is there an opportunity to create… a new world. We cannot do it the way we have done it in the past. It is time to change the whole paradigm through which we view physical reality.”

Apparently, these esteemed visionaries had already made that paradigm shift. The conference left little doubt that the chosen speakers and enthusiastic audience viewed reality from a decidedly evolutionary/universalist perspective — the kind that popular author Dan Brown promoted through his latest book on the philosophy behind Freemasonry and the mystical Noetic Sciences.

The spiritual leaders addressing the Forum taught either pantheism (“God” in all), universalism (all paths lead to the same ultimate reality), or monism (all is one) as the world’s new spiritual foundation. Among them were New Age educator Willis Harman, Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy, Sonia Gandhi, and revered representatives of Vietnamese, Mongolian, and Cambodian Buddhism. Their input during panel discussion and roundtable sessions left no doubt that Biblical Christianity was marked for decay.

Astronomer Carl Sagan showed us pictures of our tiny blue planet in the midst of a vast galaxy in an infinite universe — then scolded those who still viewed minuscule individuals as significant pieces of the cosmic puzzle.

Had they forgotten the horrors of collectivism — and the environmental devastation — spawned by the Communist ideology that Gorbachev never renounced?

MURDER, MYSTICISM AND IMMORALITY

Sam Keen, author of “Fire in the Belly,” gave the closing plenary message:

“…there was very strong agreement that religious institutions have to take primary responsibility for the population explosion…. Cut the population by 90 percent and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”

The applause was deafening!

Kill millions of people? How? What happened to love, compassion, and concern for the poor? These leaders had called for poverty programs, gun control, and global financial redistribution as if they wanted to save lives. Were these schemes simply a stepping stone toward global control? Did no one care about the individual lives behind the faceless masses?

As in the former Soviet Union, an ordinary person’s life becomes worthless in this pragmatic context for global management! The illusive “common good” becomes little more than an Orwellian phrase that limits personal rights and freedom — but promotes unrestrained immorality. Notice the way Keen rationalizes his values in these quotes from “Hymns to an Unknown God”:

“Imagination allows us to sample in fantasy what is inexpedient or demonic to act out. Dionysus, the [Greek] god of excess and ecstasy [same as the Roman god Bacchus], rules supreme in dreamland…. An amoral imagination provides us with the experience in dreamtime of living ‘beyond good and evil’ that is necessary for the development of Compassion.”

That’s what mysticism is all about! Experience — the spiritual experience of an unknown god! A deceptive journey into the realm of demons where lies and licentiousness reign! Perhaps he doesn’t realize that such captivating immoral “ideals” have eroded freedom and destroyed lives since the beginning of time.

It’s not surprising that Christianity has aroused such hatred. God’s Truth — in contrast to amoral, feel-good myths — is full of warnings that we ignore at our peril. For example,

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5

THE SPREADING DARKNESS

The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown’s latest book includes a dialogue between Robert Langdon (the friendly protagonist) and Peter Solomon (his older friend and mentor, a respected professor, a 33rd degree Mason and the Supreme Worshipful Master). The two men are exploring the Masonic signs, symbols, and secrets hidden in the Washington monument, an Egyptian obelisk. Notice how God’s Word is twisted into a mystical icon of all religions.

“Robert, the Bible does not talk openly for the same reason the Ancient Mystery Schools were kept hidden…. for the same reason the neophytes had to be initiated before learning the secret teachings of the ages…. The Ancient Mysteries and the Bible are the same thing.’…

“Peter, the Bible and the Ancient Mysteries are total opposites. The mysteries are all about the god within you. . . man as god. The Bible is all about the God above you…’

“Yes! Exactly! … The moment mankind separated himself from God, the true meaning of the Word was lost. The voices of the ancient masters have now been drowned out, lost in the chaotic din of self-proclaimed practitioners [probably pointing to Christians] shouting that they alone understand the Word…’

“We’ve lost the Word, and yet its true meaning is still within reach…. It exists in all the enduring texts, from the Bible to the Bhagavad-Gita to the Koran and beyond. All of these texts are revered upon the altars of Freemasonry because Masons understand what the world seems to have forgotten… that each of these texts, in its own way, is quietly whispering the exact same message.’ Peter’s voice welled with emotion. ‘Know ye not that ye are gods?’…

“Peter lowered his voice to a whisper. ‘The Buddha said, ‘You are God yourself.’ … Even the first antipope—Hippolytus of Rome—quoted the same message, first uttered by the gnostic teacher Monoimus: ‘Abandon the search for God. . . instead, take yourself as the starting place.’…

“’A wise man once told me,’ Peter said, his voice faint now, ‘the only difference between you and God is that you have forgotten you are divine.’”

This deception is the fulfillment of the serpent’s promise in Genesis 3: “You will be like God.” That has been the driving force within occult orders through the ages. Now it’s coming out into the open.

One of the first public celebrities to proclaim this arrogant lie was New Age movie star Shirley MacLaine. “I am God,” she shouted to the world back in the 1980s.

I met her at the end of Gorbachev’s conference. She happened to walk by, and I asked her what she thought of the conference.

“It was good. It helped raise consciousness,” she answered.

“But wouldn’t it have raised more consciousness if one of the meals had just been rice instead of gourmet meats and elegant desserts?” I asked. After all, some speakers had emphasized global equality and concern for the poor.

She frowned. “People paid a lot of money to come here,” she answered. “They deserved good food.”

As George Orwell pointed out, some people in socialist collectives are meant to be “more equal than others!” In a totalitarian system, all the thanks must go to the state and/or its elite rulers — “equal” or not!

ALL THE MORE, WE WILL THANK OUR GOD!

Both socialism and idolatry have a way of building a sense of entitlement: “I deserve it.” But with God, it’s different! We don’t deserve any of His wonderful gifts! Yet His undeserved grace is available for all who will trust and follow Him!

“…Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ!” 2 Corinthians 2:14

Sanctions against Iran – Are we headed to World War 3?

I believe that, while our eyes are to be fixed upon our Lord Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, it’s important also that we keep an eye on current world affairs that pertain to Bible prophecy. The situation with Iran is becoming steadily and increasingly more dangerous. Could this lead to World War 3?

Be sober

The Bible declares in1 Thess 5:1-9, “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober…”

Also in 1 Peter 5:8-9, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith…”

Yet these fools think it is so cool to get drunk in the Lord! They are not in the light, they are in darkness, and the end result will be that the Day of the Lord will come upon them as a thief in the night, and they will not be able to escape God’s wrath unless they repent before that great and dreadful Day… Not only that, but they will also be unable to resist the enemy when he comes to devour them. Have you ever seen a drunk man resist anything? You can pretty much do whatever you want with him, take him wherever you want him to go, and he will go along, unresistant.

This video looks fairly old, so we can see that this drunken foolishness in church is not really new. I just now remembered a movie by Jackie Chan in which he plays a drunken kung fu master. So we see that even the Eastern devils apparently use this old trick to take control of their subjects. I wish I never had to set eyes on such foolishness from so-called servants of God. It’s embarassing, and so sad…

Check out the lyrics of this song, as it illustrates these people’s distorted view of the Holy Spirit and God’s glory:

THE NEW WINO DRINKING SONG

Now I laugh like an idiot and bark like a dog; if I don’t sober up I’ll likely hop like a frog. I’ll crow like a rooster, ’til the break of day, cause the holy Ghost is movin’ and I can’t stay away.

Now I roar like a lioness who’s on the prowl, I laugh and I shake, maybe hoot like an owl. Since God’s holy river started bubbling up in me, it spills out-side and it’s setting me free. So I’ll crunch and I’ll dip and I’ll dance round and round;

Cause the pew was just fine, but it’s more fun on the ground. So I’ll jump like a pogo stick and fall on the floor, cause the Holy Ghost is movin’ and I just want more. Now, I’m just a party animal grazing at God’s trough;

I’m a Jesus junkie and I can’t get enough. I’m an alcoholic for the great new wine; ’cause the Holy Ghost is pouring and I’m drinkin’ all the time

Is Atheism a religion or a fraud?

Coach Dave Daubenmire is one of my favorite no-nonsense writers. He hits the nail in the head when he says that Science is for sale. The whole Global Warming hoax is ALL about money, and restructuring the whole world to accommodate the New World Order, of course.

A very good read.

Atheism is the established religion in America. Humanism, Environmentalism, Darwinism, Materialism, and Global Warming are examples of its denominations. It is all fake, made up. Atheists don’t believe in no god, but rather, that they are god. Atheists believe man is the final judge. That is why they flock to government positions. Government “officials” are the Bishops in this man-made religion. Money is their communion wafer.

Government establishment requires three things: Mandatory membership, mandatory citizen support through taxation, and membership in order to hold public office. Government schools are religious schools. They are not “public” schools. Eighty-five percent of Americans self-identify as Christians. If the schools were “public” they would teach Christian values, instead, they teach Atheism.

We all knew the whole-global warming thing was a sham. Unless you were enthralled with the pencil-necks that are masquerading as intelligentsia in America today, you knew something was fishy. In fact, out here in the heartland it has been something of a joke for quite sometime.

“Must be that global warming; somebody call Al Gore,” I have heard common folk joke about the unusually cool summer we had in Ohio. (Can you believe how close we were to having that fraud elected President? He should be sharing a cell with Bernie Madoff.) Anybody with half-a brain tied behind their backs knew something stunk about the whole deal.

Now that Climategate has been exposed I guess it is safe to drive my car, heat my house, and cling to my Bible and light bulbs. Think of the carnage this lie has left…can you say Detroit?

I was part of the first “Earth Day” back in my high school daze. I think the big issue then was mercury pollution in Lake Erie. I did a project on it in high school Biology and, if I remember correctly, I fudged the facts a bit to make the crisis seem worse. I knew it wouldn’t be “peer reviewed” because most of my peers were chasing girls. Mr. Sherwood gave me an “A”.

Today “The Environment” is big business. Look at this government sponsored website pushing the religion of Earth Worship. That is all environmental movement has become; government sponsored religion with scientists as the high priests supported by “research grants.”

I trust very little that ends with the suffix “ism.” Ism is defined as “Doctrine; theory; system of principles;” Darwinism, environmentalism, liberalism, communism, socialism…all sets of beliefs that are used to indoctrinate others. Here is a list of 234 isms. Take a good look at them and ask yourself how many of these “theories” are taught as facts.

I say that my favorite “ism”, Creationism is just as credible as Darwinism, but try getting that into the curriculum at your local government school. “Creationism is not science” the peer-reviewed acolytes of atheism will howl. ALL isms are unproven…that is why they call them theories. A theory is not fact; it is an hypothesis, an educated guess. (I learned that while doing my mercury project for Earth Day in 1970.)

You gotta hand it to the Atheists, though. They love to research specific theories and call it “science.” That is how the whole environmental movement has been sold to the public. We have been taught that “science” is never wrong, and that “scientists” are never biased. Wikipedia declares that environmentalism is “a broad philosophy and social movement regarding concerns for environmental conservation.” Hmmm. Environmentalism is a philosophy “a set of ideas or beliefs relating to a particular field or activity; an underlying theory.” ( Sort of like Capitalism.)

Hence, environmentalism becomes a “science” only because scientists study it. Creationism isn’t because they don’t; At least not “real” scientists. The only real scientist is a peer reviewed one. And what is a peer? Why a peer is anyone who believes in a particular “ism” as deeply as you do. “Peer review” is nothing more than a pat on the back from those who share your deeply held religious beliefs. You see, if you deny global warming then you are not a peer. Only those scientists who agree are credible “peers”. That is how we get “junk science.” Look at this website.

Theories are neither good nor bad. They are merely a starting point for an idea. The job of “Science” should be to study the theories, not promote them. If global warming and her sibling macro-evolution (origins) were proven they would no longer be ‘theories.” Why don’t “scientists” promote the theory of gravity? They don’t have to because truth speaks for itself.

A popular line used by football coaches is “Statistics lie and liars use statistics.” Statistics can be the silver lining and explain why the loss wasn’t so bad. I remember having this conversation a time or two.

“We rushed for more yards, passed for more yards, and had fewer turnovers…how did we lose?”

“They scored more points,” one of my assistants would say.

Numbers never tell the whole story, only part of it. Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure; especially when money is attached. Your tax dollars fill the offering plates of Atheistic science. Read Genesis. Science was God’s idea.

Man-made global warming is a sham. Billions of dollars have been appropriated to the advancement of this lie. Much of the scientific community is dependant on government funding of the research that they do. Create a “crisis” and money to study it will follow. Everyone is “going green.” The American way of life is being forever altered based on junk, politicized science. The world is not flat, no matter what statistics they produce to “prove” otherwise.

Look, my friends. To many of these “experts” their science IS their religion. They are scientific evangelists using their “research” to promote their own system of beliefs. Instead of getting money out of politics, perhaps it is time that we got politics, and the money that follows it, out of science. Global warming is the best science that money can buy.

Let me produce some scientific evidence. According to one study 35% of all scientists do not believe in God with 41% of all biologists (those who study the environment) being the most agnostic. Worse yet, another study shows that 87% of scientists believe man has evolved over time (only 31% of moms and pops agree), 84% believe global warming is man made, (only 49% of common folk concur), and 93% of scientists feel the government should fund research.

Therefore, using the Scientific Method, evidence leads me to support the theory that Atheism is the leading religion among scientists and that they believe that the government should pay for them to practice it. In other words, they are against the separation of religion and state as long as it is their religion that is being supported. Calling “Atheism” science does not make it so.

Am I the only one who wonders what happened to common sense? Do you want to know why so many “experts” seem so lacking in it? “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” Psalm 14:1. Educated fools.

“I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” I John 2:21-11. How can we believe a scientist that denies the Truth?

The academic community, the Federal Government, and the media are the anti-Christ trinity. The government declares God illegal, while the scientific community declares Him dead, and the media serve as the pall bearers. Without the Truth of God, government, and her evangelists in academia, determine the truth; replace it with a scientific gospel, while the media record the epistles of their church-paid apostles.

Now the Lord is that Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. What is the opposite of liberty? Remove the Spirit of the Lord and you get toranny. Atheism leads to bondage. Jesus brings freedom.

I was discussing this with a bunch of public-school seniors the other day. They have become convinced that science is fact and faith is fables. That is what we teach them, you know. We put them into indoctrination centers where we teach them that theories such as Darwinism, Environmentalism, Globalism, and Humanism, are “scientific facts.” (Settled science Rev. Al Gore calls it.)

To counter that, some families place their children in Sunday school for an hour a week where they are taught “Bible Stories.” Let’s see. Science teaches “facts” while religion teaches “stories.” Which one do you think they will believe?

“What year is it, my friend?” I sarcastically asked one of the arrogant seniors?
“Huh? 2009…why?” He snarled back.
“Yeah…2009 years from what?” I cast out the bait.
“A.D. The birth of Jesus” He squirmed.

“That’s right, Pal. It is 2009 everywhere you go in the world. You know why? Jesus was a real guy. The entire world marks time from His birth. King David was real. So was Daniel, and Moses, and Noah. My faith is not a theory because it has a history. Christianity connects me to Adam. Science connects you to an ape.”

I wonder if we would be in the mess we are in if the government funded Creation-science research? I bet a bunch of those “scientists” would become “believers” if they were paid to prove it.

Follow the money. Science is for sale. Pass the offering plate.

Something to watch

This video is very short, and the images speak for themselves. We need to be praying about this.

Obama’s elegibility FINALLY goes to trial!

This is amazing news. Apparently this case will finally go to trial on Jan 26. Let’s thank God, and pray for Judge Carter (for his safety and that of his family especially), as he has taken a very bold stance in refusing all of Obama’s motions to dismiss the case. I know Pr. Manning must be jubilant, and I also know that God has heard his many prayers for this to happen.
