NO ‘BACK-TALK’ TO GOD

July 8, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Most of the time, knowing the will of God for your life, for today, is not really a mystery.
The question is more often a matter of willingness to do what God has already made clear.

When you wonder if you should really do what God put in your mind, consider this:
— Asking God again if He wants you to do something, can easily be back-talking to God.
— Delayed obedience is disobedience.
— Reviewing your undivided time alone with God today—that is your greatest confirmation to know what He wants you to do.
— Doing is the most powerful reinforcement for confidence, psychologically and spiritually.

THE BIG ONE – – – WHEN ?

July 8, 2024 By Leave a Comment

How much more precarious does the United States need to become, for our numerous enemies to capitalize on the perfect storm to seriously hurt America—bring us down ?

The options for the most devastating terrorist attack imaginable (unimaginable)—THE BIG ONE—could include a single bad actor, or a combination of all the methods by all the enemies coordinated at one time, in one day.

It’s hard to believe they could be so organized and self-controlled to delay any further.
But I acknowledge that conditions keep getting more favorable by the day, for our enemies to keep their powder dry a little longer.
Maybe they think waiting will make their job that much easier, as America gets that much weaker.

One observation—there does not seem to be any strengthening of our readiness to prevent or deal with the impending attack.

MORE CHRISTIANS ?

July 7, 2024 By Leave a Comment

QUESTION:

A – Were there more Christians in ‘Christian America’ ?

B – Are there more Christians in ‘Post-Christian America’ ?

C – Will there be more Christians in ‘Anti-Christian America’ ?

ANSWER:

If you go back a couple centuries, after the Great Awakenings, the answer is ‘A’.

If you go back less than a century, after prosperity led to comfort and materialism, the answer is ‘C’.

– – –

America experienced profound Christian growth when God blessed our publicly stated trust and dependence on Him, from the beginning, and in crises.

In the last half of the twentieth century, and now, we have pushed “In God We Trust” to past tense—“In God We Trusted”—even trying to erase that from our history.

“God Bless America” is no longer our national prayer—and likewise past tense—“God Blessed America”—even ashamed of that from our history.

– – –

How do we take a census to count the number of Christians in America, in the past, in the present, in the future (or anywhere) ?

How does God take the same census ?

– – –

God does not count the numbers, until He counts the commitment.
God counts our suffering, even if He has to send it, to count our name on His list.

IT’S NOT ABOUT SAVING AMERICA

June 26, 2024 By Leave a Comment

— Leaders on the left don’t care about saving America.
In fact, they clearly want to destroy America.
And their policies and actions consistently accomplish their goal.

— Some leaders on the right talk well about saving America.
They continuously and vigorously say what the current leadership is doing wrong and what they should be doing.
All their talk is not doing a bit of good—not changing anything—serving mostly as an excuse why they can’t do what should be done.
But their track record says they could do more when they have the chance.
Passion, even to sacrifice their own political standing, for the country, is weak in actions, occasionally strong in speeches.

— Other leaders on the right, Christian leaders, call us fervently to pray for revival, because that’s the only thing that can save America.
In the meantime, storm clouds gathering on the horizon are now upon us.
Point of reference here:
Did sincere Israelites pray for revival and for God to save them, on the way to Babylon ?

It’s time to change our prayers.

Find out what persecuted Christians around the world are praying for now.
Mostly they are not praying for deliverance, but faithfulness and boldness.
We will soon have more in common with them than they have with us now.
Think about that.

We will soon have more in common with them than they have with us now.

“If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My Father in heaven.”—–Jesus

“But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.”—–Jesus

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”—–Jesus

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake.”—–Jesus

“BRACE FOR IMPACT”

June 22, 2024 By Leave a Comment

Frank Gaffney—founder of Center for Security Policy—host of Securing America daily on afr.net 10:00 PM Central Time—“an owner’s manual for protecting the country we love. We help you assess the risks for America, recognize its enemies, and figure out what we can do about them, to the glory of God and His Kingdom.”

Secure Freedom Minute June 20, 2024:
“Half-a-world apart, two imminent conflicts are on the cusp of going critical. Communist China apparently is prepared to have Hezbollah – the foreign legion of its Mideast proxy, Iran – engage in a full-on war with Israel. And the Chinese military is itself now physically attacking Philippine vessels at a place called Second Thomas Shoal.

The United States has a direct interest in both of these crises. Our allies are under assault by their mortal enemies – and ours. Our priority should be on deterring further violence from being inflicted on America’s friends. The most sure way to accomplish that is for the United States to stand firmly alongside them.

Instead, the Biden administration has done everything possible to appease Iran’s mullahs and undermine Israel. And instead of visibly demonstrating solidarity with the Filipinos, it has been largely AWOL.

Brace for impact.”

REPEAT – HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ?

June 22, 2024 By Leave a Comment

WHEN THE HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRITTEN (on this site) gives the clear spiritual understanding of the time we’re in now. Read it. Take it to heart.
This article addresses the political perspective only, and reveals the limitations of historical without spiritual.

American exceptionalism is obvious to any objective reading of history.
There are dozens of ways this country broke all records of everything amazing.
Now, as the current internal and international disasters put our future in jeopardy, the question is,
“Will American exceptionalism carry us through this darkest night in our 250 years, to defy all odds for survival—or not ?”

We have (or had?) the most amazing Constitution ever created by man, and it works!!!
Now we apply it selectively, with predictable results.

The democratic process led us to success and prosperity, which inevitably leads countries to apathy, complacency, dependence, and bondage.
That repeat of history is the odds to defy.

We have lost sight of, and the memory of,
“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”

What brings us back ?
Renewal of strength inside, with convictions.

That strength builds a readiness for action to restore our freedom now, like it did to gain our freedom 250 years ago.
Restoring freedom now will cost no less than gaining freedom then.

Voting works only as long as our enemies know we are willing and ready to use our guns to restore a wayward government.

“Enemies foreign and domestic”
Domestic terrorists are not those labeled and surveilled as such, but those casting the accusations.
The enemies within are running the government with full intent of running it into the ground, into history.
So far, we don’t know how to deal with them.
Time is running out.
– – –
We will pay the high price of freedom, or we will pay the much higher price of losing freedom.

WHEN THE HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRITTEN

June 22, 2024 By Leave a Comment

History records the rise and fall of people and nations.
And if we don’t try to avoid the factual record, we can read that history records the parallel patterns of why they fell.

Germany’s downfall into nazism is not a mystery or an anomaly.
The church lost their conviction to stand for right and stand against wrong.*
The church dropped the ball.
The church compromised.
The church thought they could be compatible with evil.
Hitler put his hand on the shoulder of church leaders and promised that he would take care of them (literally, in a meeting, in person).
He ‘took care of them’ alright—and the church was never a threat to his plan after that.
Because it was too late.

– – –

When the history books are written on America, they will show the parallels between the German church of the 1930’s and the American church today.
Evil abounds and evil grows in the culture and in leadership, and the church is watching it happen at best, and unaware at worst.

No matter, the last obstacle to overcome, for evil to completely take over, is now crumbling in complacency.
The church in America could make the difference again, even at this late hour in America’s history—but the church is too comfortable in America with the way it is !

So, what is going to happen ?
God’s full judgment, restrained so far, for the prayers of a faithful remnant, will fall on America now, in full horror.
God’s people, His true followers, will no longer pray for God to bless America or for God to save America.
Christians (for real) will suffer severely, soon.
We don’t have guaranteed promises of escape.
We do have guaranteed promises that He will be with us through the most difficult time of our life.

And, God may give us unexpected opportunities to share our eternal hope in Jesus with so many in despair without hope.
