“Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.”

We have a hope, but it is the Lord. Psalm 9

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
²I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
³When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
⁵Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
⁶O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
⁷But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
⁸And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
⁹The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
¹²When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
¹³Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
¹⁴That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
¹⁵The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
¹⁶The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
¹⁷The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
¹⁸For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
¹⁹Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
²⁰Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

America! Is it too late?

This country and our freedoms are in a spiritual battle at this very moment! Our constitution is being destroyed by those in authority. We see the tyranny which is upon us and coming with devilish speed. The judges of our land deny the Constitution of the United States. Judges make laws and intercept our Constitution, the Constitution forbids this. It is of upmost importance that we seek the Lord’s will in our lives as we watch our country overrun with the illegals being brought here in an ungodly evil manner (Legal immigration is alright). The dismantling of our freedoms happening every day, and our move, with great speed, into Communism, with the news and social media as accomplices, for they seek to make us a third world country and enslave us.

The founders of this country had a decision to make. Their freedoms were being taken away, and the king only had disdain with their grievances. They made the only decision left to them. The only decision which would bring about freedom for this nation, and because of that decision and sacrifice which they chose we are a free country, or at least we have been. That same decision is coming so close that it may soon overspread us, and possibly we will be too late making a proper Godly decision.

It is a sin of enormous proportions to watch the overreach and overspreading of evil in this nation. For toolong we have been quiet as judge upon judge have taken our rights away. They have taken Bible reading and prayer from our schools, out of our military, out of our government. They now wish to shut down our Churches, and how far behind that will be the outlawing of the Bible.

They allow the Muslim religion to be taught in grade schools while banning the mention of Christ and the Bible. Our history has been changed in school textbooks. School children are taught that America is the worst nation in the world. The colleges are turning our teens and young adults into America Haters! These professors spew forth their venom against this country. Many, maybe most college professors seem to hate America and love Socialism and Communism. Why don’t they leave America and go live in a Muslim country and see what freedoms they have there.

Are we to set back and silently watch this happen? We must search our conscience, search our Bible’s, get down on our knees and pray; Father in heaven, give us the wisdom to know what your will is, the courage to do your will, the strength to do your will, as we see the destruction of freedom in this nation. At the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry spoke these famous words in his speech. “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Father in heaven, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ give us wisdom, direction, courage and strength to know and do thy will! We seek your direction whatever that may be! And if America has passed the point of salvation, unless we have shed so much innocent blood by the murdering of babies in this land that forgiveness cannot come to us, then let us humbly accept your will. Help us in time of our time of great need! Praise your Holy name forever!

Will this happen in America?

Sasha was a young seventeen-year-old who enjoyed life and was looking forward to the coming of Spring when she would be married to her fiancée Yuri. The winter days were cold and the political climate was changing, becoming more and more favorable to the communist party, but she put that out of her mind.

Writing poetry was her love and the words just seemed to flow across the pages as she dreamed of someday publishing a book of her poems. But now that would wait, it was time for church, she had gotten up early in order to read her Bible and prepare her heart for the day’s message.

Sasha enjoyed the fellowship and love shown by those around her, and sometimes sensed that there was not the love of Christ as was needed. The service was beautiful, and a meaningful message with scripture readings and singing.

Singing was another great love she possessed, and hoped to someday learn to play the piano. But at seventeen there was so much time to do all these things.

The air was cool but the rainy weather had soaked the ground and it was muddy in places and she carefully watched her step trying to keep her new shoes from getting muddy themselves. She watched as some military trucks passed by on the road and smiled at the soldiers in their uniforms.

The day soon ended and evening grew near and became much cooler as she put a sweater over her shoulders on her way to the evening services. The singing was wonderful as she entered the church and began singing also. Smiles were on the faces throughout the service as the pastor walked to the podium.

He was about to start the sermon when suddenly there was a loud banging on the church doors. Everybody was startled as the doors flung open. Soldiers with rifles came into the church, snow and mud on their boots, they slopped the floor as they marched to the front of the church.

As they were lined up the Colonel stepped forward ordering everybody outside. The singing had stopped and concern filled once joyful faces. What was going to happen she wondered as they were marched outside. They were put into a single file, and she began to shiver in the cold air of the evening.

The Colonel stood at the front of the line giving orders, with the wind whistling through the trees she was unable to make out what he was saying. Sasha watched his gestures, and saw a man and woman bowing their heads and walking away, she knew the woman and saw the tears in her eyes.

Next another man she knew walked away somberly with his hand to his face. A few more walked into the darkness and she saw the smile on the Colonels face.

There did not seem to be any anger on his face as he nodded as her friends walked away silently. She was near the Colonel, only one or two in front of her when she saw something laying on the ground. Broken glass and some wood, like a picture frame. The man in front of her stomped the ground several times and then spit also.

She now stood before the Colonel, his eyes soft with a gentle smile across his face. “You have a choice”, he said, “you may choose life or death, your friends have chosen life, will you do so also”. Looking to the ground she saw the picture of Christ, which once graced the church wall, laying in the mud, broken from feet which stomped it.

Deny Christ, crush His picture and you will go free”, he said. Suddenly there was a sinking feeling in her stomach. Her friends have already done what he had asked, and now she was next.

The Lord would understand, she was only seventeen and going to get married in the spring, she wanted to write poetry telling others of the wonderful Saviour she loved. Surely the Lord would understand. She could live and tell others of His wonderful love, He would understand!

The Colonels eyes darkened as he said; “Your young and have your whole life ahead of you, so which will you choose? Life or death!” you choose!” Fear filled her heart, she never even thought of her shoes now mud covered and soaked. A smile crossed her lips, her eyes widened. Yes, Yes…I choose Life….. Yes, life is what I will choose. The Colonels face beamed as he smiled confidently!

Slowly she bent over and picked up the muddy broken picture, looked at the Colonel and smiled and gently wiped the mud and spit from the picture of Christ.

“I choose life”, she said smiling and the Colonel smiled back. For He is my Lord and Saviour and I will not deny Him. Inside the fear and trembling was gone as the Colonels smile dropped, his hardened eyes became cold. She heard a crack and felt a pain in her head as she fell to the ground.

The Colonel looked at the startled faces and knew his job was done. He had put the fear of power into the minds and hearts of those watching, he gave the order for his men to prepare to leave, with a stern warning to the others. Weeping and low whispering could be heart throughout the group as the evening drew colder.

As her lifeless body lay on the cold muddy ground one of the watching soldiers could be heard saying; “What a wasted life, she was only seventeen.” Another voice was heard; “She had such a good voice, what a shame!” Sobs from others continued as they looked as Sasha’s body lying in the mud. “What at waste, what a waste!”

The Martyrs Crown

A wasted life. Only seventeen years old. Was her decision a foolish one?

Matthew 5:10-12; “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. ¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

Matthew 10:28-33; “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”

It was only a second or so before she opened her eyes and saw a glow so bright which almost blinded her. A gentle hand lifted her to her feet. The smile covered her face, the cold was now gone, no pain in her head, no fear in her heart as she looked into the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. She felt the loving arms of her Saviour as He put his arm around her and gave her the best hug she ever knew.

Peace, peace like never before filled her heart and soul and she knew she was home, in the presence of here loving Lord and Saviour. Tears of happiness filled her eyes as the angels all in white flew through the air and praised the Lord. She heard; “Well done good and faithful servant” Joy filled her heart from her Lord, and his outstretched arms led her forward. There was her brother who died of cholera at six years of age, now an adult, and her aunt and uncle who died years ago. Their faces all aglow as they rushed to her and threw their arms around her. Welcome home they said and tears of joy filled all the eyes.

She looked again at her Saviour and His eyes were more beautiful than she could have ever imagined. Home! Home! She was truly home! It was not a wasted life. It was a life truly lived for the Lord.

We Thank God for His Presence and His Promises!

Daniel 2:21 says, “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.” So, give thanks that no matter which candidates win or lose – or which political party is in power – we know that God is sovereign and in charge!

Philippians 4:6 tells us “do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” The result? “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

He LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you. But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. (Psalms 33:13-22 NLT)

Finally, we remain vigilant.

Whose Life?

White lives don’t MATTER!

Black lives don’t MATTER!

NO lives MATTER!

IF UNBORN LIVES DON’T MATTER!!

WE SAY We ARE CONCERNED about black lives, white lives and all colors of lives. But are we actually concerned? Abortion kills more lives than any other cause in this country and around the world. Aren’t we hypocrites when we condone the murder of our most defenseless of lives? Those who use such issues as Black Lives or any other issue for violence and other deaths and defend abortions (a nice clean word for murder) always have an alterior motive. If they can condone the death of an innocent baby. I seriously doubt their concern for you. You are nothing more than a useful pawn, to be discarded when they achieve their objective.

Deception

It must Look like the Truth!
It has to be non discernable that it is not the truth.
It’s origin is from satan and therefore satanic in its nature

How Deception Works

Adam and Eve were given one law to obey. “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die“, Genesis 2:17. Of every tree in the garden they were allowed to freely eat. They both knew the commandment of the LORD, they knew the will of the LORD, and here we see the deception.

We see an example of deception and how it works in the Garden of Eden. In Genesis chapter three Eve is confronted by the evil one, satan. At this point she has no idea that his desire is to destroy her and her relationship with the LORD.
