Homosexual Christians?


You can't be a follower of Jesus and be a homosexual.

I can't follow Jesus and be a thief, or a murderer.  If I am a thief and want to follow Jesus, I must leave stealing behind.  If I am a murderer and want to follow Jesus, I must leave killing behind. 

When we follow Jesus, we put our 'flesh' (sinful desires and actions) to death . . .  deny ourselves . . . 'die to' our old selves . . . are 'born again' . . . born of the spirit  . . . have a new life . . .  We become new creations! 

When we accept Jesus' death, on our behalf, we must come to Him on His terms. We confess our sins, repent of them, and don't practice them any longer.  He forgives our sins and washes them away, and we are made new.

You may argue that being a homosexual is who you are--I argue that is who you are because it is what you do.

Contrary to some people's arguments, people are not born homosexual.  If you have the normal XX or XY chromosomes, your gender is not in question.  (If you ARE a hermaphrodite, or have chromosomal problems, that's a different story.)

Here are reasons you may not feel comfortable with your gender:
  • The way you are raised and treated.  
  • The expectations or prejudices you are exposed to.  
  • The popularity and promotion of homosexuality in our culture.
  • Peer pressure.

But here are what I believe are the three most important factors:  being wounded in your early relationships, being molested by someone of the same gender (remembered or  not), demonic influence.

There are a number of ways these factors can work together, although any one of them can lead you to the conclusion, and feeling, that you are gay.  But, when they are combined, their effect is greatly multiplied, and you will feel an almost irresistible pull towards homosexuality.

One of the common ways it plays out is:

1. A child is rejected by his father (living with rejection is more damaging than being abandoned).  Young children trust adults and see them almost as gods.  If a young child is receiving the message, from an adult, that he is not worthy, he may disown himself (or aspects of himself).  If he is a bit older, he may hate the adult and vow not to be like him.  Either way, if a boy does not have a healthy relationship with his father (or an adult male), he will have an emptiness that will cause him to gravitate towards 'father figures' in his life.  This may be adult males, or boys that are older than him that seem more masculine to him than he feels. 

Here is where a problem begins.  Young, wounded boys are very alluring to predatory men (including pedophiles) and delinquent boys.  A wounded boy is a magnet for sick and perverse males, and he is soon going to end up in bad company.  He doesn't have to be molested to become homosexual--he may idolize the man or boy he follows, to the extent that he falls in love with him.  The whole issue is that he doesn't love and accept himself.

The irony is--some well meaning single mothers introduce predatory men into their wounded son's life, without being aware of it. A single mother has her own issues, and she may be very relieved to have found a man who shows a fatherly interest in her son. 

These are the worst situations, because the boy is unable to extricate himself from the relationship, and is unlikely to tell his mother what is happening.  He will likely be at the man's mercy for many years.  This man, given enough time, will likely mold the boy into a replica of himself.  Undoing the damage, if the grown up boy is willing, may occupy much of the rest of his life.

2.  Wounded boys are needy and vulnerable, magnets for pedophiles, and very likely to be molested.  They pretty well have a sign on their forehead saying "victim", which predators quickly home in on.  Each molestation makes another one more likely. 

The boy is molded physically, mentally, and emotionally by these experiences, and logically forms an identity as inferior, a victim, and as a homosexual.  He does not realize that someone else appointed this identity to him, instead he believes they recognized what he already must have been--not true!!  The only thing he was is needy and vulnerable.

3.  Demonic influence--I think this is one of the biggest reasons that homosexuality is so commonplace today.  Demonic forces promote sin in every form.  Demonic forces actively deceive, tempt, and seduce people into sin.  Just as we may have 'guardian angels', people are accompanied by demonic spirits.  Demonic beings act persistently in a person's life, usually to the extent that they are successful in luring him into sin. 

Demonic spirits can gain entrance to a person's life (not the same as actually being possessed) through things they partake of (including music, movies, magazines, etc.), through interactions with other people (who 'entertain' demons in their life), and by chance.  MANY of these demonic beings are with us, in our sinful culture today, and they are a powerful force behind the promotion of homosexuality.


Homosexuality is neither normal nor natural.  God says it is an abomination to Him.  He also says that, when He is totally disgusted with a person (to paraphrase), He will give them over to a 'reprobate mind' and homosexuality. 

With that in mind, does homosexuality really sound like something people are born with?  Do you think God would create someone that way, so that He would turn His back on him from the day he was born?  No.  Absolutely not!!  The temptation to homosexuality, however, may find its way into your life at a very early age.

I believe that part of the recent increase in demonic activity in America, is a concerted Satanic attack on children.  With a culture that lies to us and says that homosexuality is normal and that speaking against it is hateful (or criminal)--how many parents are going to steer their young children away from homosexuality when they are being tempted and deceived by demonic spirits (or other kids, or society, etc. for that matter)?

By trying to be 'politically correct', we are leaving our vulnerable children open to the most vile temptations and influences.  These sins, that we are afraid to speak against, have the power to imprison our children in chains of heavy bondage, and open the door to other powerful delusions and doctrines of Satan.

Parents:  we live in perilous, vile, and deceptive times--you had better get serious about protecting your children from evil!!

'Christian parents':  if you won't teach your children right from wrong, and the truth from a lie--who do you think will?  And who do you think God will hold responsible?

The God Factor


One sunny morning, a pilot sets off across the ocean for a distant land. His fuel tank is just large enough to hold enough fuel for the voyage, and maybe a hundred miles extra. Early into his flight, it comes to his attention that he has erred in his navigation, and is a couple of degrees off course. When do you suppose that pilot will make the necessary correction?

 If he corrects soon enough, he will only have flown a small distance more than planned. However, if he waits until later to correct, he will have to make a major change, and will have wasted much fuel going in the wrong direction. In fact, if he waits too long to correct, he will run out of fuel and meet destiny at the bottom of the ocean!

 America is on the wrong course! As Christians, we are losing our freedoms and rights at an amazing pace! The assault on our liberties was designed to be a blitz attack--so that by the time we figured out what was going on, it would be too late.
 
We had better start using all the freedoms we have!! For too long we have been voluntarily coerced to refrain from speaking, by the doctrine of 'political correctness'. Now, we are facing the likely prospect of 'hate speech' legislation. There seems to be a principle, that what you give up voluntarily, will later be 'set in stone' as law.  People, we can see the storm clouds gathering on the horizon--the time for denial is past!

If you are thinking that, by speaking out and exercising your liberties, it will just draw attention to you and create the persecution you would rather avoid, you may be right--but consider this: we have been quiet, we have been polite, we have been politically correct, yet we have been continually pressured to retreat, to 'cede more ground'. Now we are expected to be silent in the face of all sorts of abominations!
 
The hour is late, but speaking out now is better than speaking out never!  Sure, there is much opposition now--but do you think it will lessen in time?  

 If you find it too hard to speak out now, when it is merely unpopular--how will you have the courage to speak out later, when it is illegal? Don't count on being courageous tomorrow, if you won't act with courage today! Courage is built, gradually, upon past experience in being courageous. Conversely, giving in to fear and intimidation only tend to reinforce your tendency to be fearful and intimidated!
 
And, as Christians, there is one other important factor to consider--the most important one--the God factor!  It pleases God when people act for truth and righteousness, against overwhelming odds, relying on Him for help!!  God can do amazing things! 

 Do you realize, that if enough people in America repent, and plead with God for mercy, He may relent of judging America now?  Be it that He spares America, as an island in the midst of worldwide suffering, or that He postpones the inevitable--it is worth a try people!!  Do not give up hope in the mercy and compassion of our God!!  Have the audacity to trust in Him and ask great things of Him!!


We have failed Him and brought dishonor to His name!  Lets repent and act courageously!  Lets turn things around in America!! Lets wage war on ungodliness!  Lets make abortion illegal!  Lets turn the tide on homosexuality and the indoctrination of our children in the public schools!  Lets push back the unholy tide of Islam and restore Christianity to our schools and our courts!  God is big enough!!  He is the God of David,  not Goliath!  He is with the small and weak, that are courageous enough to try great things for His glory!!  Let us go forth to battle, with faith in Him!

 
Even so, we may die--but better to die honorably, in His service, than to die as cowards and faithless!  Mark my words, the days are coming when you will either deny God (by your words or your actions) or you will be put to death.  Your silence and retreat will not hide you--they will only serve to hasten the arrival of that day.

American Empire

Searching for an article I had previously read, I did a Google search of 'America Empire'.  It yielded twenty six million hits!  It's right in front of our eyes, yet hidden in plain sight! 

People: 'Actions speak louder than words', 'a picture is worth a thousand words'--put aside everything you have been told (about America promoting democracy or protecting its 'interests' throughout the world), and let actions speak for themselves!

Here is a picture that's worth a thousand words:




We're told that we are hated because our enemies 'hate our way of life' . . . really?  These people hate freedom and prosperity?  Education and opportunity?  Technological advancement?  Good medical care?  Nah, I'm not buying it. 

The few that really DO hate our way of life seem to be opposed to the sexual depravity (and materialism?) that we export worldwide via Hollywood!  (It's really a shame that the American Church is less discerning, with regards to sin, than the ungodly!)

I believe what our enemies hate most, is to be subjugated!!  They hate our imperialism.  Most Americans are blissfully unaware of that aspect of America.  Who the heck gave us the right to determine what other countries should or should not do if they are living peaceably within their own borders?  By what authority do we create 'regime change' or assassinate people in another country?  These are just a couple of the things America engages in, that you may have already heard of.

Do I hate America?  I don't know--I don't think so.  I do believe America was chosen, inspired, and established by God--that America I do not hate.  The American people--I do not hate.

The corrupt, depraved, imperialistic, tyrannical beast that America has become, backed by multinational corporations and wealthy elite (this must be what they call the 'military-industrial complex')?  I am no fan of this.  Our hedonistic culture--This I hate with a passion! 

Do I sympathize with our enemies?  With terrorists?  To the extent that I understand why they hate America--yes. As far as understanding their anger and desperation at being subjugated--yes.  Do I condone their actions? NO!!  EMPHATICALLY, NO!! 

Would I be just as frustrated as them, if America were under Soviet or Chinese occupation?  I would imagine so!!  Wouldn't you?

Under Obama, our dear empire has begun using the same tactics to topple America as it has used to topple and subjugate other countries.  We are being relieved of our 'favored nation' status within the empire.  We are being brought down to be on par with the rest of the citizens of this new global empire. 

Our economy, our independence, and our pride, will be destroyed--and God will allow it to happen.  The people who are dismantling America are being used as the hand of God, to bring His judgment upon us.  Chaos will overtake America.  But, rather than cry out to God in repentance, we will most likely 'cry Uncle' (Sam!).  Once we are totally broken, the empire will create a solution that will be our 'salvation'. We'll no longer demand special treatment, our 'entitlement mentality' will be broken.  We'll be humbled and willing to sacrifice everything that was our birthright--just for a bowl of soup.

Our currency will be replaced.  We'll start out fresh, on a new, 'level playing field' with the rest of the world, economically.  Our people will depend on the government.  Our right to choose our own leaders, make our own laws, seek redress in court--will be curtailed.  Our personal liberties and individual rights will be surrendered for 'security'.  Our laws will no longer have God's standards and truth as their basis, but will instead be based on the good of the empire, the good of all.

In order to give us the best chance at freedom in a world of sinful men, God inspired a fairly elaborate form of government that depended on a series of checks and balances--this ensured that power was not concentrated in any one part of the government.  He  modeled it on Himself (The Father as law giver, the Holy Spirit as the convictor of sin, Jesus as the righteous judge). 

In order to endure, this government would require people of upright character to participate and to make sure that the rules were followed.  This government would be able to withstand attempts by an individual, or even a few people, to bring it down.  What it could not endure was widespread corruption, and collusion in regards to looking for ways around the rules.

As our people became more and more corrupt, and looking for loopholes became the 'American way', cracks began to form in the foundation.  Before long, beady-eyed little vermin spotted the openings, enlarged them a bit and began to come in, then bigger ones came along and followed suit.  Soon the whole structure was infested and in danger of toppling. That is where we woke up to find ourselves in 2008.


There seems to be a universal principle that, if you will not show restraint, restraint will be placed upon you by outside forces; if you will not take responsibility, it will be imposed on you by outside forces.  So, if you are not sure what sins America is being judged for, look for what has been taken away, and there you'll find what we misused.  Look for what restraints are placed upon us, and you'll see what freedoms we abused.  When we forgot that we were 'one nation under God', that there was a God in authority above us, that's when the trouble began.

While our multinational corporations, government, and military were out conquering and subjugating the rest of the world (under the guise of bringing peace and safety), America enjoyed the spoils.  Most of us weren't concerned or turned a blind eye--if we were even aware of what was going on.  It's not like our media was telling us . . .

In fact, for most of us, we were busy pursuing our own happiness and prosperity, and our concerns extended little farther than the boundaries of our own backyards.  Oh sure, we might have volunteered a bit, or written a check here and there--but how often did we protest about . . . anything?  When was the last time any of us spoke up, or protested, on behalf of someone else--even someone in our own community? 

Like it or not, we Americans are basically self interested, laid back, 'live and let live' kind of people--although we can be compassionate and generous.  It is this laid back attitude of the populace that has allowed those of totally opposite nature to become powerful in America.  And it is because we see ourselves as laid back, 'live and let live' people who aren't hurting anyone else, that we are absolutely perplexed as to why we are hated!  I'll spell it out again:  it's because those in power, the 'elite', are not like you and I.

Their nature is polar opposite to ours.  They lust for power and wealth and will do anything to have it!  Power corrupts and I would venture to say that many of them are beyond redemption.  We are hated because these are the people that have become the 'face of America' to people throughout the rest of the world.  Most of our enemies don't distinguish the difference between the empire of the American elites, and the actual 'American People'.  Therefore, Americans are hated all over the world.  (And 'Christian' if seen as synonomous with 'American', becomes an abomination.)

So . . . now some people are waking up to what is, and has been, going on.  Maybe enough people will wake up and repent, and act, to be able to slow down this train that's barrelling towards destruction.  I sure hope so!

But you can rest assured that, even if we hold off their (the 'elite's') designs on America for now, in 20 years they will be accomplished, regardless.  That is because, they have stolen the hearts and minds of our children, right from under our noses.

I Hate Islam!! But . . .


Although Obama claims to be a Christian, he definitely is not.  By his voting record, you can see.  He not only approves of abortion, he promotes it!!  Although political correctness demands that we allow a woman her 'right to choose', ABORTION IS A SIN AND A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!!  If you are a Christian, and you have ANY problem whatsoever with that statement, you had better get on your knees before God and repent!

Abortion, Are You SURE You Have The Right?

But, this blog is not about abortion. It is about islam . . . and about Obama.   Our president is a man who claims all religions, yet practices none.  However, I believe he has a special place in his heart for islam.

Presidential Admissions (short video)

Islam is the most foul, blasphemous thing I have ever seen.  Every word I hear from the koran makes me either want to laugh (because of how transparent it is in regards to who 'inspired ' it), or vomit (because of the blasphemy).  Every word of that vile text came straight from the mouth of satan himself!!  And mohammed--he was demon possessed, just like hitler after him, who rose up in the same image and manifestation of satan.

I recently posted a blog on the koran   Warning To America: THE KORAN    which I can't even bear to read, it is so vile.

From what I have learned about islam, it seems very probable that The Antichrist is a muslim caliphate (the equivalent of a muslim pope).  However, I have two reasons to question that:
  1. What I understand from scripture, so far, is that the kingdom of The Antichrist will be attacked by two coalitions of predominantly muslim countries.
  2. I know, from history, that satan plays both extremes.

Just as demons perform a little show of allowing themselves to be exorcised by cross wielding Catholic priests, so can satan be the puppetmaster behind both an islamic caliph and the caliph's archrival--whoever that may prove to be.  Don't be so drawn into the drama that you see his archrival as a savior!  Just because someone is the enemy of your enemy, DOES NOT necessarily mean he is your friend!!

Satan wants to make it appear that there are many roads to righteousness and one road to damnation.  He will unite all religions together under the banner of 'tolerance' of the Antichrist, and he will proclaim Jehovah God, Creator of All, to be the source of damnation.  (This means unrelenting persecution and murder of Jews and Christians by the rest of the world.)

In fact, the reverse is true-- Jehovah God is the only source of truth and salvation.  Allah IS NOT God, nor are any of the many other gods and 'prophets' who are worshiped by men.  Jesus (God) came to earth as a man, led a sinless life, died on the cross to pay for OUR sins, and ascended into heaven on the third day.  He is now seated on the throne in Heaven, awaiting the day (before this generation passes away) that He will return to Earth, defeat the armies of the wicked, pour out God's wrath upon the evil, and take the throne on Earth, to rule over all mankind.  (Even so, come Lord Jesus.)

The man we have elected to run our country has his own agenda: to run America into the ground, to totally destroy her, to enslave her people, and hand her over to her enemies.  And God has willed it so--unless we repent!!  We can fight Obama all we like, and cry out to God for help and deliverance but, unless we repent, it ain't gonna happen!!

God Damn America?

I hate islam!!  But:
  • It's not the only danger we are facing.
  • It is only one face of evil on a multiheaded beast.
  • It doesn't necessarily mean you are my friend if you hate it too.
  • It doesn't mean you are holy by virtue of fighting it.
  • It doesn't make you my savior, or the messiah, if you deliver me from it.

and

  • The suffering islam would bring to America, may be one of the plagues God uses to cause our nation to repent.
  • Without repentance, we are in very real danger of being subject to sharia law (among other things, women will lose their rights, our children will be lost to vile islamic ideology, and amputations and executions will be the punishment for breaking the law).
  • The road, that takes us from where we are now, to sharia law, is one of many horrors and extreme suffering.
  • God loves us, is grieved if we choose this road and wishes, with all His heart, that we would repent instead!!


God Damn America?

Absolutely Not!! God inspired, established, and has protected America for over 200 years! BUT . . . WE have damned ourselves!

The man we have elected to run our country, is a man whose agenda is to run America into the ground, to totally destroy her, and hand her over to her enemies. And God has willed it so--unless we repent!! We can fight Obama all we like, and cry out to God for help and deliverance, but unless we repent, it ain't gonna happen!!

Repent of what? In no particular order, and definitely not all-inclusive, the practice, protection and/or promotion of:
  • denial and rejection of God 
  • abortion 
  • homosexuality 
  • cheating (financially, academically, in marriage, etc.) 
  • abandonment of family 
  • rejection of marriage
  • basing decisions on economics (rather than morality) 
  • greed 
  • exploitation 
  • self-exaltation 
  • disrespect 
  • dishonesty 
  • arrogance 
  • pornography 
  • pedophilia 
  • incest 
  • vengeance 
  • violence
  • murder 
  • sexual perversion 
  • profanity and vulgarity 
  • abdication of personal responsibility 
  • abuse of drugs and alcohol 
  • abdication of parental responsibility 

If you say we are a Christian nation, you are deceiving yourself! Our sin and greed have risen to such gigantic proportions that they are the face of America that the rest of the world knows us by! Yes, there are many Christians in America--and many kind and generous people. Yes, the motives of the majority of the American people, towards the rest of the world, have been honorable. BUT--we have let the actions of a minority represent how we relate to the rest of the world, and they have not treated the rest of the world with Christian love.

Our big businesses, multinational corporations, and government are in bed together. Together, they have misused their power, by plundering the earth and exploiting the poor around the world. They have meddled in the affairs of other nations, even to the extent of determining who the leaders of other nations should be, arming and funding resistance movements, assassinations, etc.! All this in the name of 'defending American interests'. Nonsense! It was never our right to do such things! It was motivated by greed!

But this is only one facet of our nation's sinfulness. The stench of our depravity here at home is appalling!! Unfortunately, this is all exported too! In the form of Hollywood movies, television, and slick advertising campaigns, we market our vile, depraved culture, along with our products, to people all over the world.

I am talking to the churches in America, because God's covenant is with us, not with the unbelievers. He placed us here to be 'salt' and 'light' to the world. Yet, is our influence holding back decay or illuminating the sin around us? Are we using our God-given authority to wage war on evil, when it sprouts up in our nation? I don't think so . . .

Make no mistake, we are the ones God holds accountable. He has given us freedom and a system of government that allows us to determine our course and to choose our leaders. Therefore, we are completely responsible. Rather than take part in our government, most of us have abdicated the responsibility and gone about our lives, looking to our own interests. It is said, that we get the leaders we deserve.

How many of you can still discern evil? Our senses have become so dull, our consciences so seared, that we don't even recognize vile sinfulness when it is standing right in front of us!!

After 9/11 'God Bless America' signs were everywhere. Unfortunately, I couldn't make that prayer my own. How can we expect God to bless, for even one day, a nation that offers its children as sacrifices to the god of personal convenience? Yes women have the right to choose--whether to be celibate or promiscuous, whether to use contraception or not! Once a sperm and an egg fuse, a person exists! From the moment of conception, that person has GOD GIVEN rights! Your rights do not extend to taking the life of another--regardless of who you are!!

Another vile and grievous sin that America practices, protects, and promotes is homosexuality. People used to be wise enough to know that God did not create a man's body to be penetrated by another man. The very idea of such a thing used to disgust people, but not these days. Perhaps if we didn't have the modern conveniences of toilet paper, antibiotics, soap, and sexual lubricants, that would be more readily apparent. Regardless, we do still have the Word of God that tells us this behavior is an abomination in the eyes of God.

Pornography has played a HUGE role in the collapse of the family, the exponential increase in every type of sexual perversion, and violence against women, children and young men. It has gone from being a closet sin to being mainstream among young adults. Today, many young women aspire to be porn stars, while others are lining up to be 'exotic dancers' and prostitutes. We have lost all shame and personal modesty. Women have become brazen and vulgar, young children are promiscuous and sexually violent, and even straight men talk about having 'man crushes' on other men.

How many of you are grieved by the disrespect that is so rampant today? Even nice Disney films have been remade, and updated, with characters that have a disrespectful, belligerent attitude. Children don't respect adults, women don't respect men, and a good many of us don't respect authority! But, then again, adults don't respect children, men don't respect women, and those in authority don't respect the people they oversee. Our culture is in shambles.

Not only is each of us 'out for himself', but many have come to regard themselves as gods, goddesses, and divas! If we acknowledge God at all, most of us don't submit to His authority! Our personal, and national, arrogance is unbelievable!

Do you realize that lying is listed alongside murder as a sin that will exclude you from the Kingdom of Heaven? Yet, we take it so lightly. Take the time, next time you watch TV, to analyze the programs and the commercials in terms of what values and sins they promote. If you watch it objectively, and don't get caught up in the drama, I think you'll quickly be amazed at what a powerful tool television is in molding social values. I think it will be eye-opening for you to see what a strong cultural pressure there is for people to be deceitful.

I may be wrong, but I propose that when people continually practice dishonesty, they lose the ability to discern the truth from a lie. (Can you see how this will further the acceptance of the man of lies--The Antichrist--when he comes on the scene? What I understand from Scripture is that Israel, America, and many European nations will be among those that embrace him--his kingdom may even take root here first.)


Why do churches back away from speaking out against sin? From being involved in politics? My theory is that it was primarily because churches were allowed tax exempt status, but could lose it if they got involved politically. To me, that is a clear choice between serving God or serving money. It may not have been readily apparent at the time, nevertheless, here we are now.

And indeed, here we are now--and we still have a choice! Every church has the option of giving up their tax exempt status and being unfettered in what they say! But how many have the courage to do so?

Shame on those who have sold out! What will it profit you to have the most grandiose church, the longest list of members, the most offerings in your coffers, if the truth and the presence of God are absent from your midst? The day is coming that the blood of martyrs will be upon your altars. For it will be you that betrays your brothers to death, you that delivers up the ones that hold to the truth, because it pierces your heart and you can't bear it, it puts you in danger with the authorities and you can't abide that. Therefore upon your altars, as a witness against you, those who hold to the truth will be slain. Their blood will soak your carpets and splatter your walls, and the stain of it will never be removed.


America has rejected God. Yes, the churches too. We have repeatedly allowed our religious expression to be limited. We have retreated from the conflict time and again. (No wonder the jihadists believe our God is weak--our resolve and faith in Him certainly is!)

You can justify it by saying that we've lost battles and the laws have changed, and that we are just following the new laws (unfortunate as they may be). That certainly illustrates a lack of zeal and commitment to God. Would you yield so readily if someone told you that you couldn't claim your spouse and kids on your tax return? Or if they limited how may miles a week you could drive your car? We don't easily surrender what really matters to us!

Our sin and apathy are creating a perfect environment for the kingdom of the Antichrist. Do we really want to create a place where he can feel welcome to set up shop?

Stop trying to blend in with our Godless culture! Repent!! Live right! Stop trying to appease the ungodly! Speak the truth! Pray at meals and meetings when you feel led. Decorate for Christmas if you want! Go to jail if you must, but stand up for your God! Don't you know He'll stand with you?

We have allowed unbelievers to remove God from America. So, as requested, He has withdrawn from us somewhat. He allows things to befall us that He would have protected us from in the past. He is giving us small glimpses of what it will be like if He withdraws from us completely. Yet, when disasters befall us, rather than consider our relationship to God, we summon our pride. 'We're tough', we say, 'what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.' And we become even more hardened and entrenched in our sinfulness!! How much will we have to suffer, before we truly repent?

Our nation is standing on the verge of collapse. Many forces are gathering against us. Our economy is deliberately being destroyed. Our leaders are betraying us. Our international enemies are expanding their militaries and forging coalitions. Like a pack of wolves silently surrounding us, stealthily creeping forwards, great calamities are approaching.

Our enemies, used to encountering God's wall of protection around us, are cautiously probing and testing. If we go from the status of a nation that was so blessed and protected, to one that is left wide open to its enemies--expect the attacks to be horrific! Not only have our actions provoked hatred towards us from among the nations, but so has our position of being blessed and favored by God! What a terrible, terrible thing it will be, to fall into the hands of our enemies--but even that pales in comparison to the judgements that God will pour out upon us Himself, when He returns.

Allah Is NOT God! Return, Oh Children Of Abraham, Oh Children of Ishmael!!

There is only one God whose name begins with a capital 'G'.  There are many 'gods', Satan chief among them.  He is one god who goes by many names--today he's known as Allah. He stirs up false prophets to speak on his behalf--to exalt him as God.  They teach you to live by his laws, laws that put you in bondage and enslave you for all eternity. 

You who serve Allah have sold your souls to the devil--as did his prophet Mohammed!

Satan prowls about seeking men to influence.  A bitter spirit, an angry vengeful heart,  a jealous soul--these are all places that welcome him, and where his lies can take root.  There he makes his home.  He is the 'Father of Lies' and the originator of jealousy, vengeance, and bitterness.  He seeks to remake men in his image.

Ishmael was jealous from the day the 'Child of the Promise' was born--understandably so.  Satan saw that he could influence him, and stirred up his envy and bitterness.  Ishmael did not look, with thankfulness, to the blessing God had spoken over him.  Instead he let hatred grow in his heart, and it has been passed on, through the generations, ever since. 

It is hatred born of a lie, born of a belief that he wasn't good enough.  A belief that God, and his father, had chosen Isaac and rejected him.  Yes, Isaac was chosen--but Ishmael was not rejected, not until the bitterness in his heart had become manifest.  Satan's hatred, of all that is dear to God, has manifested itself in the hatred of the children of Isaac, by the children of Ishmael, ever since.

Children of Ishmael, shake off the anger!  You were born hating the Jew.  Look beyond the legacy of Ishmael, to your father Abraham--a righteous man!  You also have inherited a blessing, because of him!  You share in his blessing--AND he petitioned God to bless Ishmael as well!  You are doubly blessed!  Pattern your life after his.  Serve the true God, maker of heaven and earth.  Live an upright life, with faith in the goodness and faithfulness of God!

Renounce Satan/Allah!  Turn from his bitter, hateful doctrines.  Reject his false prophets.  Repent of your jealousy and rage!  Forgive, and accept the blessing that God has for you!  And let it be said that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob AND Ishmael!!

Warning To America:  THE KORAN

The Witness (Oh yes . . . Part 4)

(Continued from Part 3, 'Novus Ordo Seclorum')
What a great responsibility we have!  We are one of the few countries where the people have the power of governing themselves!  We are one of the few, and probably the best equipped, to delay and frustrate the plans of the antichrist in setting up his government!  The date he will take the throne of world government has not been set.  The American people may be the only ones who can delay it--by standing up for our rights and refusing to give up our rights to govern ourselves!  We can not stop what God has said will happen, but we don't have to allow it to happen here, now!
God has entrusted us with much and much will be required of us.  We--individual Americans--have a grave responsibility, not just for ourselves, but for freedom loving people all over the world,to resist!  How disappointed God will be--after giving us such great natural resources, inspired founding documents and direction, prosperity, freedom, and understanding--if we squander it and allow the world to be taken captive by the antichrist!
I believe America's whole foundation & existence was divinely ordained to put an obstacle in the way of Satan's plan at this very point in time!  I believe we are called to use our freedom &; constitutionally guaranteed rights to resist and expose the truth about Satan's plan to the world, at this very hour, while we still have those rights!  This is the fulfillment of Christ's words in Matthew 24:14:
'And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.'
That is us, American believers!  And each of us now has the freedom & the tools to preach the gospel to people throughout the entire world, from the comforts of home!  We can be at the forefront of this great mission!
I believe the words 'for a witness' hold special significance.  I believe this means that we, while the events spoken of in the end times prophecies are unfolding, will be explaining them to people throughout the world, and sharing the gospel message!  No one will be able to say they didn't understand what was happening, and who was its author, if we do what we have been divinely inspired to do--in this very hour!  Our message will be the 'witness' to them whereby they will later be judged as to whether they understood what they were participating in!
Don't be mistaken though, if you answer the call, you will likely give your life in the process.  You will likely be one of the 'multitude in white robes' who were martyred during the 'time of great tribulation' for spreading the word of God and the testimony/witness of the meaning of the events that are unfolding.
The first of the seven seals (written about in the book of Revelation, Holy Bible) has been opened.  The four horsemen of the apocalypse are being released (invisible spiritual beings, empowered by God to pour out His judgment upon an unrepentant world).
The rider on the white horse has been loosed upon the world, bent on conquest.  This is not a conquest of war and bloodshed, but it is a subjugation, a seizure of freedom from those that resist, and a seduction to those willing to surrender.
The other three horsemen will soon follow.  Be on the watch for the second (he causes men to kill each other-don't assume it just means in the context of war), the third (food prices will skyrocket-it will cost an average day's wages for a loaf of bread), and the fourth (death--by weapons, famine, plague & wild animal attacks).

This is a warning to you of some of the dangers America is now facing from within while, simultaneously, God's judgment is starting to be poured out on the earth. Most people are unaware that America is under siege from within, and will soon be attacked from outside as well.  We are surrounded by enemies! Our only hope is in God.  Repent and pray for His intervention and deliverance!
(Separate blogs will explain the dangers mounting against us from our enemies outside our borders, what prophecies say will happen to America, and whether there is any hope for us.)


The Drunken Whore


Here's The Deal . . .

The Deal is that man & woman (Adam & Eve) were created good, and pure.  They were allowed to live, protected, in a perfect environment & were given free will.


CENTRAL to God's plan for people is their FREE WILL!

God set before them a choice-to have a relationship with Him, on His terms, or to follow their own desires. They chose the latter, thereby severing the relationship with God and choosing, ultimately, death.

But God loved them and knew the horrible fate to which they would be consigned-and all of their descendants as well.  I believe His heart was grieved for all of mankind that would follow, already sentenced to death and cut off from relationship with Him.  (Since Adam's choice, all mankind is born into sin and each one will ultimately commit sin him/herself.  Once a person knowingly sins, they are cut off from relationship with God.)

He had known, sadly, when He created them that this is the path they would take and so, when He created them He already had in mind a plan to bring about good for them, in spite of the choice they would make.  Although angry with Adam & Eve, He still loved them and His heart overflowed with forgiveness.

In order for mankind to be reconciled to Him, He would have to come to earth, live a sinless life in a human body of His own, and pay for the sins of all mankind by surrendering Himself to death and hell.

So, He chose a virgin and, by His Spirit, conceived a child within her. The Son, (part of God, who is a triune being--Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who had lived in Heaven, now came to earth in a body of flesh.  He lived a sinless life so that His death could pay the price for the sins of all mankind and so that they could be set free-if they choose.

He surrendered His body and spirit to death and descended into hell.  Here He paid the price for the sins of every man, past, present & future.  He spent 3 days in Hell and triumphed over Satan, then was resurrected.  He spent a short time on the earth with his disciples and then ascended into heaven.
 
It's that simple.  You could compare it to someone buying you an all expenses paid vacation to the Bahamas.  But you won't wake up on the beach unless you accept their gift, take the ticket, pack your bags and get on the plane.  Although the price has paid, you still have to make the choice and do your part.

To be reconciled to God you
  • admit and repent of your sins (be sorry about them, ask forgiveness for them, and make up your mind not to live that way anymore)
  • believe that He is God, that He came to earth, lived a sinless life, and died to pay for your sins
  • accept His gift of freedom & life, with thankfulness
  • pray to Him, read the Bible, and ask Him to connect you with Christians for friendship, teaching, protection and spiritual support
  • be faithful to Him
