Go Through With Christ

Christ will not always change our circumstances, but He will definitely change our perspective and responses to whatever it is that we have to endure, when we seek Him. The test is not how to avoid difficulties, the test is how we go through them.

James 1:2-8
"2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete..., lacking in nothing.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

The Frog is in the Pan

I am convinced that the eyes of people of America have been blinded because they have turned their backs on God and He is about to punish us in a way we have never seen in this country before.

 

We were duped in the election of our president, we did not see or even want to see the clues that this was a dangerous man who is capable of every lie and atrocity possible.

 

It doesn't take much discernment to see clues unless we simply do not want to see them.

When our eyes are focused on frivolity, pleasure and happiness, we will miss very important evidence, that could save us.

The more we negate, denigrate and mock God's ways the better chance we have of being fooled, even so masterfully that we cannot see until it is too late. The frog in the pan of water comes to mind in all of this.

 

The frogs have been in the pan, as long as they felt safe and comfortable they didn't notice that strange and insidious plans were occurring, each plan with clues that something just was not right, but since we didn't want to admit it, we went on our merry way, skipping, laughing and playing until the plan is so full blown that there is no way out.

It is possible that we are going to see another civil war on our land, this time it will be Islam against Americans. Islam has already promised they are coming for us, are we so prideful we think they can't do it and are just blowing smoke? Have we spoken things we didn't mean so often we think everyone speaks and does not act? We are a culture that speaks often without meaning what we say, having no intention of carrying out the words we profess, sadly I fear we believe Islam is doing the same thing.

Have we forgotten that Islam is energized by devils, they are not going to stop, they are not merely about words, they will do as they claim, given opportunity. And, our country is providing that opportunity through this influx of Muslim immigrants.

 

We who are believers do not fear what is coming, however, we see that the opportunity for the gospel to be preached may come to an end soon, the time is now to warn those who are fence sitters to make a choice, whether to remain stubborn toward God or to confess to Him their sinfulness and become born again by His Holy Spirit.

Remember, just saying you are a Christian does not make you saved. Pretending in church does not save anyone. We are born again by the Holy Spirit of God when we confess to Him our sinfulness and inability to save ourselves, placing our trust in His shed blood on our behalf, then He will change us into a new creation, never to turn back again.

 

1 Peter 1:3-8
3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various [c]trials,
7 so that the [d]proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which [e]is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and [f]full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of [g]your souls."

2 Corinthians 5:17 'Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

John 3:4-8
"4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born [c]again.’
8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

We Are Being Manipulated

Oh I see! They are now going to use the manipulation that we are not "compassionate" toward those who want to lop off our heads!!! God commanded Israel many times to go after their enemies. Anyone who cannot see that Islam wants to destroy us as a nation, is completely and utterly blind! The ruse of coming in as refugees is really very clever. We have been pridefully bragging for years about our American humanitarian efforts, so much so that we have lost all discernment about the tricks of the enemy.

Repentance is Necessary

God has already stopped blessing America, we have not repented. People of this country have engaged in sin while actively defending it. The churches are apostate, preaching a social gospel according to the culture and psychology rather than according to the Bible.

 

Revelation 2:5 "'Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place-- unless you repent."

 

Our teachings to obey the Bible carries very little weight anymore because of the hypocrisy of the modern apostate church.

 

This generation divorced at an alarming rate, that is still going on. More babies are born out of wedlock than in marriage in the younger set, an indicator that many young people aren't bothering to get married at all anymore.

 

These young people saw the ripping and tearing of marriages when they were growing up, fearful that it could be them, turning their back of the concept of marriage altogether. 

 

They didn't believe the "Christians" when told to obey the Bible because the divorce and remarriage rate in the church was as high if not higher than in the world. Why would they believe anything their divorced and remarried "Christian" parents taught them? Not only did many divorce and remarry, those who didn't do so, approved of those who did by their silence of the subject and acceptance of the remarried couples.

 

Luke 16:18 ""Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery."

Divorce is an act of hate for the spouse and disregard for the children. Remarriage dismisses the love children have for their biological parent.

 

1 John 4:20 "If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen."

Instructing children in the principles of the Bible while disregarding them, teaches children that what the Bible says is really not very important unless it's what we want to do, a choice, an option, rather than a command of God that He takes very seriously.

 

John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him."

 

When we cherry pick the verses we like and dismiss the ones we don't like we are showing contempt for God. 

 

Romans 2:4 "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?"

 

Many Bible colleges are teaching unscriptural concepts based on psychology rather than what the Bible actually says. Because of this, the American people are living out a worldly and errant Christianity rather than being guided by the Holy Spirit and His Word, also the reason non-believers don't take Christians or the Bible seriously. The lives of Christians are not much different than those who have not trusted Christ. The non-believers and believers alike are moving through life in their own power, not very interested in what God thinks.

 

It is only when we seek God with all our heart with the intent on finding His Will, to be able to obey, that He will give us wisdom.

James 1:5 "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

America Under Siege

I am convinced that "O" is allowing the refugees to enter our country as a way of allowing Muslims to begin their attacks on us, for a dictatorial take over.

The manner in which our president has been ignoring congress, ignoring the constitution and running rampant with "executive order", while boldly proclaiming, "if push comes to shove, I will stand with Islam", are major clues in this matter of a regime that plans to dismantle America and begin a governmental take over. ...He started out slowly, appearing to be inept, but has emerged as purposefully working to undermine us on every level, financially, morally and militarily.

Why are so many politicians afraid to say what I believe they know? They must see much more than we do, all the clues are there!

This is the first blatantly treasonous president we have ever had and yet the states are all sitting on their hands fearful to actually speak what they have seen.

Is it possible that the powers that be are living in fear of how they will look, rather than being deeply concerned about where this government is going? Or perhaps they have been meeting in secret planning to remove the dictator when the time is right?

No president has been allowed to do this much damage to our country without serious challenge from the states. Something is amiss, there are strong clues that nothing is as it seems on the surface.

This regime is not merely an ignorant and inept entity, it is a diabolical and deliberate machine with a devastating agenda.
