First I must make it clear that I believe that no leader that is in power is there without it being allowed by God.
Daniel 4: 17 – For this has been decreed by the messengers; it is commanded by the holy ones, so that everyone may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world. He gives them to anyone he chooses— even to the lowliest of people.
We have experienced eight years of the “lowliest of people.” Now though we see the uniqueness that God has bestowed upon the people of the United States of America for as Abraham Lincoln said we are a: “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” This means that the “lowliest of people” can include every person that has the ability to pick the leader of this nation.
This was reflected in the 2012 presidential race when millions stayed home and handed the second four year of this nation over to the person that has disgraced and torn down and apart this nation. Any sins committed by the current president that added to the death toll not only in this nation but the world is now upon their hands as well.
We are again in a position of having to vote for the lesser of two evils. However we have not quite finished with picking which of the evils we are going to be forced to vote for. It is a vote that we must make. It is not something we can pass on for we are the people. This is the uniqueness of the United States of America.
It is clear that people do not wish Washington D.C. to continue to work as it has, and all I can say is it is about time. This election is not like any other in the history of this nation though. Within this election hangs the balance of not just the moral foundation principles this nation was founded upon, but its continued belief that it is a nation “under God.”
The primaries has exposed the true flaw within this nation at this time, for the most part, even in those that profess to being “evangelical” it is corrupt, sin filled and lost. No longer following the teachings within the Bible. As a result this nation is in decline, and why? Because God is punishing this nation.
To a degree it has worked. Those that profess to be conservative, which the core meaning of this term means to follow the teachings within the Bible, are coming out to vote. They are doing the complete opposite of what occurred in 2012. However about half of them are not following the precepts set forth within the Bible of what they should seek within their leaders. Now it is important at this point to say that we are all human and we cannot find the perfect leader. That will not happen until He sets foot upon the Mount of Olives once gain.
So we must seek after someone that comes as close as possible to a servant leader. This is not the way many are thinking though. Instead they are supporting a vulgar, arrogant as well as other traits that are totally opposite that which someone calling themselves “Christian” should even be proud to say they support. It is nearly as bad as someone who would call themselves “Christian” and support any Democratic candidate since that party openly supports and even encourage multiple sins within the Bible.
Still they support this person. Why? Many say and the same time professing to be “evangelical” that he reflects them. Not that he reflects Christ, but them. That is not placing God first. That is placing themselves first. If people are not willing to humble themselves and say: “because he reflects God.” Then in reality they are being selfish, self-serving, the Bible has a name for this. It is called sin.
We had people this year that were a better refection of God, but people ignored them. Why? Because these people were not angry enough to stand for them. They did not promise great rewards in the manner these people have come to expect to get their rewards; Here and now. Again this is not Biblical. For Jesus made it clear our reward is not in this live but the next and we are to look for someone that is humble and speaks truthfully.
Now as I stated, those men are no longer in the race. We are now down to who is the lesser of the evils. We have the man that is totally oppose the values of God and is all about getting the rewards due us here and now. We have the turncoat who came in to the senate under the promise to reform that body but in last night’s election came in a strong second in Virginia because Washington D.C. voted for him. And then we have a man that has faltered in parts of his campaign with falsehoods that may or may not have been to his knowledge. With him though it appears he has kept his word for Washington D.C. dislikes him.
So who is it to be? The person who is the opposite of Jesus Christ completely. The turncoat who sold out to greed, or the person that may have approved lies?
Per the Bible it can’t be the first two, then it has to be the last.
Conservative
The “Evangelical” vote
This is this great word that the media is using to define those that profess to be “Christian.”
Now when you listen carefully to those in the media they divide this group even further. They say: “those that are strong followers of their belief” and then “those that do not fully practice their belief.”
This is the important division in this statement. Because in actuality they are giving you a false image of the truth.
I have listened to or watched every primary to date as of Super Tuesday and every single time they give this division of those they are calling “evangelical and/or born again.” Every single time the will say that those that DO NOT fully practice this “evangelical belief” have overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump.
But those that DO practice their “Christian” values are split between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
What this speaks to is a complete misunderstanding of not only the media, but of the American public at large.
The term “evangelical” is defined per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as: of, relating to, or being in agreement with the Christian gospel especially as it is presented in the four Gospels.
Now to be in agreement with the gospel or more accurately the Bible you say that your Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ and that you strive to reflect the teachings found within the Bible.
To endeavor to be a reflection of Jesus Christ you would say that you are practicing your faith. So those that they are calling “moderate and/or not following their beliefs” are per the definition given above are in reality what can be defined by the Bible itself as the “lukewarm.”
The “lukewarm” per the Bible (Revelation 3:14-22) makes it clear that in the eyes of Jesus Christ they are worse than an atheist and are spit out of the Body of Christ by Jesus Christ Himself. Simply they are not “evangelical.” They should not even be counted as that term.
What doesn’t surprise me personally is that they are showing the world what God already knows. They are not Christians. Why?
Look who they are supporting. Someone who is proud, arrogant, clearly states he has never asked forgiveness. He has been caught in lies. He is called a con-artist. He reflects everything that those that are true “Christians” would never even consider. They are voting from anger, again something that is against the teachings of the Bible.
So this misnomer that they are a reflection of the “evangelical” electorate is another attack on Christianity. An attack designed to belittle and dismiss not only Christianity, but what true Christians follow: The Bible and in so doing discount and diminish God Himself.
So per the media themselves those that practice their faith are the true “evangelical” and deserve to be called this. They though are showing their humanity as well. For there is enough evidence that shows Marco Rubio is not worthy of their vote. The biggest of these is the mere fact that those in Washington D.C. are supporting him. This says he has sold out to the greed that has corrupted this nation’s government. Does this mean Ted Cruz is worthy of their vote? There are factors that say no as well. This is why the vote is split.
What is clear is in reality we are getting a real picture of Christian faith in the United States of America. We are seeing in each primary in real time just how far this nation has fallen away from Jesus Christ. We are seeing that many who may honestly believe they are “Christian” are in fact in even worse shape spiritually than those that totally deny the existences of God.
We are seeing it is due to their hypercritical life style that they are why Christianity is failing in this once Godly nation. Now you need to understand what the word “hypocrite” means. It means to act, to play a role. This is what those that do not practice their beliefs truly are per the very definition of the word, because they do not “practice their beliefs.” Why? Because by saying they are Christian and not following the Bible wholeheartedly they are in essence playing out a role, acting as if they are faithful to Jesus. However by not following the teachings within the Bible they are just performing upon the stage of life. Then once they leave the limelight they return to their sins which are more important to them than God.
They are today’s equivalents to the Pharisees, which were the core conspirators in the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. If this one sentence does not send a wakeup call to these people, nothing ever will. This is truly a sad statement, but it is a statement that must be said. I will leave the readers here to truly think on what they just read.
My political endorsement, based upon prayer and the Bible, not anger.
There is an empty shell in this election.
Once again the truth is revealed to the world, yet will it make a difference?
For those that profess to be “Christian” it should.
Yet in all honesty I seriously doubt they will change their mind.
God has given those that call themselves “Christian” a wondrous opportunity in this United States of America. He has awakened us, yes through anger, to what is Biblically right and many have come out to vote. A vote that they should have cast in the last election, but many stayed home and did not vote.
They did not vote because it was against their beliefs to elect a Mormon into the Presidency of this nation. Even though it kept in power someone who truly does not in any way reflect true Christian values. So now they are angry. As I pointed out before in an earlier post the Bible makes it clear that we cannot let anger make our choices for us.
James 1:19-20 – Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.
Right now people are voting their anger. When you let anger rule your choices you are “does not produce the righteousness God desires.”
This is not my words, but the teachings of the Bible. We are to listen to the Bible. We are vote the ways of the Bible. I have just now reached a point of declaration. Since that candidate I would have liked to be elected has been removed and it is now a three man race I must make a choice and I must declare who it is at this time.
First we have the “empty shell.” The man who is the ultimate cars salesman. Tell you that the pile of junk before you that will fall apart as you pull it out of the parking lot is a Rolls Royce. In reality it has the parts of every lemon created in the auto industry. Destine to failure and destruction. The “empty shell” is none other than Donald Trump.
I am shocked that so many that call themselves “Christian” ever voted for him, for it is obvious once you get past the anger that he is a charlatan. It is also obvious that those that did vote for him do not truly know or understand the Bible. Which in itself is exposing their true beliefs to those that have an eye can see.
Then we have Kasich and Rubio, both who are like most of the lukewarm. They put on the dressing of the Pharisees and their actions and words match their dress. Both embrace teachings that are man-made and not Biblical and in doing so accept sin. They do not have my vote.
Dr. Carson reflects more Godliness than most in this election has, but his support is gone and needs to just drop out this election.
Which comes to whom I am going to endorse. Now as I said he was not my first choice. That man was and to a degree still is Rand Paul, but the media succeeded in getting him removed from the election.
The man who now has my official, yet meaningless to most, endorsement, is Ted Cruz. He is perfect Biblically? No he is not, but he is not phony like Trump feeding off of people’s anger. He has shown himself to be human in decisions he has made, but he has been man enough to address it and remove those that have caused his candidacy to falter.
When it comes to home state support. It is very telling. Cruz has the support of his state. Rubio does not, this is another big clue. If their home state doesn’t support them then they are not worth our time.
The anger needs to STOP (if you support Trump your faith may be in question)
I understand the anger. I understand where it is coming from. I am angry myself, but when making important decisions you must get the anger out.
James 1:19-20 – Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.
Right now people are voting their anger.
THIS MUST STOP!!
Right now, due to anger, people are supporting and voting for someone who is all show. He has no true values that are what can really be called “Christian” or for that matter “conservative” and has shown this with his lack of knowledge of the Bible when he said “Two Corinthians” not “2nd Corinthians.”
Now I just heard the other day an important fact from the exit polls of the South Carolina primary. Those that are true believers in God and follow the teachings of the Bible DID NOT vote for Trump. They voted for Cruz and Rubio. Why Rubio is something that I personally do not understand for I personally question his standing Biblically as well.
This is a wakeup call to those that call themselves “Christian” and voted for Trump. For the exit poll states that those that are NOT strong followers of the Bible DID vote for Trump. They by their own actions have declared they do not truly follow the Bible. Not only to the world, but to God.
Revelation 3:15-19 – “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.”
The Bible is against anger. The Bible supports a servant mentality. Now let me explain this. It doesn’t mean cower it means to think of others first.
Matthew 20:24-28 – When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant. But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Trump does not reflect the actions of a believer. In fact he encourages and truly promotes that which the Bible says we are not to do.
So those that are truly committed to God should not support this person.
If you do there is an issue with your beliefs that you must address and pray upon. For if you support someone that is opposite the Bible, well you’ll figure it out……….. I hope.
God has had enough with the citizens of the United States
That is why for the last eight years this nation has been torn down and torn apart by the current president of this nation. Being one with God and being a leader is extremely important to this nation. This nation was, no matter what you have heard to the contrary, this nation was formed by a Christian people that wish to maintain Christian values in all walks of life:
John Adams
2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence
“Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God … What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be.”
This was the dream but even John Adams knew that human nature would not allow for this “a Utopia, what a Paradise.”
Should we strive to seek after it all the same? Yes we should for that is what the Bible says we are to do. We can no longer sit by and allow those that wish to kick God out of this nation win any further.
God is giving us a wake call. He is shaking this nation to its foundations. Many are starting to awaken, but do they have the right idea on how to pursue what is “right?” To me the answer is no.
It can only be found through faith and a belief in God.
George Washington
1st U.S. President
“While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.”
John Adams
2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence
“The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could unite, and these Principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer.
“And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity, in which all these Sects were United: And the general Principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young Men United, and which had United all Parties in America, in Majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence.
“Now I will avow, that I then believe, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System.”
We now once again live under tyranny for many in the Senate and Congress have been there too long. A career politician can easily become corrupt and turn to cruelty without realizing they have down so. It is up to the common man not only to remove them from office but to replace them and refuse to stay in office for more than two terms:
John Hancock
1st Signer of the Declaration of Independence
“Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. … Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.”
Benjamin Franklin
Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Unites States Constitution
“Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence. That He ought to be worshipped.
“That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental points in all sound religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever sect I meet with them.
“As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and his religion, as he left them to us, is the best the world ever saw, or is likely to see;
“But I apprehend it has received various corrupting changes, and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity; though it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an opportunity of knowing the truth with less trouble. I see no harm, however, in its being believed, if that belief has the good consequence, as probably it has, of making his doctrines more respected and more observed; especially as I do not perceive, that the Supreme takes it amiss, by distinguishing the unbelievers in his government of the world with any peculiar marks of his displeasure.”
We are warned by the founding fathers that we must keep our eyes upon God and give all glory unto Him:
James Madison
4th U.S. President
“A watchful eye must be kept on ourselves lest while we are building ideal monuments of Renown and Bliss here we neglect to have our names enrolled in the Annals of Heaven.”
We must also remember that this nations Constitution and it’s Amendments were based upon those governing principles that ran the colony of Pennsylvania. These principles were written by a Quaker named William Penn and this is what he had to say:
William Penn
Founder of Pennsylvania
“I do declare to the whole world that we believe the Scriptures to contain a declaration of the mind and will of God in and to those ages in which they were written; being given forth by the Holy Ghost moving in the hearts of holy men of God; that they ought also to be read, believed, and fulfilled in our day; being used for reproof and instruction, that the man of God may be perfect. They are a declaration and testimony of heavenly things themselves, and, as such, we carry a high respect for them. We accept them as the words of God Himself.”
So we must remember that if this nation is to continue to exist, which it is coming close to not existing, we must return to God through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Jay
1st Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and President of the American Bible Society
“In forming and settling my belief relative to the doctrines of Christianity, I adopted no articles from creeds but such only as, on careful examination, I found to be confirmed by the Bible.”
So what is United States? What do you choose for our future?
Extremist
I heard this word today and so I decided to seek clarification for all about this word. So I will start with the definition and go from there.
Extremist – 1. a person who goes to extremes, especially in political matters.
2. a supporter or advocate of extreme doctrines or practices.
Extremism – belief in and support for ideas that are very far from what most people consider correct or reasonable
Extreme – : very great in degree
: very serious or severe
: very far from agreeing with the opinions of most people : not moderate
The key in these definitions is the words “most” and “moderate.”
As I look over these definitions what I see as important to realize is what if someone that is not amongst most that are moderate and sees someone of an opposing view point. To them since they themselves are not moderate would see someone on the other side as extreme.
But what is moderate?
That is the big question these days. I can actually see both sides of this issue and I understand why there is confusion. Here is the dilemma.
As of 2014 per http://www.gallup.com/poll/180452/liberals-record-trail-conservatives.aspx moderates form 38 % of the population, 34 % are conservative, and 24 percent are liberal. This has been changing due to actions by those in power and in the education of our college students since the 1960s.
Still only 24% of the population is liberal but many of these are in important parts of the government, business, and especially education. These in reality would be those that should be call “extremist.” Why? Because of the founding principles of this nation:
1) Rights come from God, not government
2) All political power emanate from the people
3) A limited representative republic
4) A written constitution
5) Protection of private property
These are conservative, but are the foundation of this nation. This is why those that are liberal could be considered extremist, because for one they do not fall into the boundaries of the majority that being the moderate and conservative combined. Then for the other reason have no desire to attempt to conform to what is moderate and wish to discount God, remove the political power from the people, have the government control all; remove the constitution (since is it is antiquated) and wish none to own anything but have it all owned by everyone (everyone being those like themselves since they know what is best for all). But should we call them that? No we should not. In fact I feel no one should be called extremist within the borders of the United States at this time.
A true example of extremism is those that flock to ISIS, in which it is their belief that only they are perfect and all others are inferior. That women are not equals. That homosexuals should be killed. That slavery is the natural order for those that are inferior to them for they are not human. That behead those that do not agree with them.
That is a true example of extremism.
But back to the U.S. So when I hear someone use the term extremist it tells me that someone is not looking correctly at this nation and it works and need to awaken to that fact that they actually have it good here.
Simply the moment someone says that someone is an “extremist” they need to be called out and told that is a word you should not throw about so loosely. It is a word that shows the user is prejudice and needs to be educated in the hate they are causing and spreading.
Mixed signals
As we approach the first primary to show that Christendom has awakened all I see about me is mixed signals. I see an uproar from many, but it is an uproar that in many aspects reminds me of the 2008 campaign that shot Obama into the spotlight and stated the systematic break down of this nation by those that we are told to mark and avoid within the Bible itself.
Romans 16:17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
Many are now awake to this, but many more are not. Those that should see the division being caused by Trump, Clinton and Sanders still clamor and shout their praises of these charlatans. Many are still blind and those that claim not to be blind are. Example: Jerry Farwell Jr. giving support for someone who does not even know the Bible to the point of saying “Two Corinthians” not “2nd Corinthians.”
Cruz is more Christian than Trump, but I worry over him. He does not show true humility.
Matthew 20:26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,…
I see more of this from Paul and Carson. Yet if Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist I have my concerns over his values.
Out of all the truest “moderate” is Paul. He has ideas that are truly in the middle and will fix this nation yet the media down play and hide him. To me this is something that marks him as worthwhile. Someone to learn more about.
But still there are mixed signals. Why? Because even though many have awaken to the failings within the Christian community in the nation. Most still would rather talk about and watch sports, celebrities and that which divides us more than to pursue God.
God has sent us a wakeup call in Obama. God has declared a judgment against this nation and this man is His tool to make us either awaken to our sins or to fall deeper into damnation.
This election is the line in the sand from the Lord God Almighty. Will those living in confusion truly awaken to the reality of our Creator and will this nation continue it’s down spiral into destruction.
The Manifesto of the Dreamer
I stand accused.
I must answer this accusation through the Bible and by the Bible.
First and foremost:
Matthew 5:17 – Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
These are the word of Jesus Christ my Savior. He did not come to destroy but to fulfil
Fulfil = pleroo – “to fulfil a measure, a promise,”; “to complete or achieve”; “totality”; “fullness” (Theological Dictionary of the NT)
This means that to adhere solely to the New Testament is actually destroying that which Jesus came to fulfil.
I was reminded recently that many say that due to Christ’s actions the laws and teachings within the Old Testament have no more hold of the Body of Christ. I say that is counter to why Christ came upon this earth as stated by His own words above.
We are to hold to and maintain certain aspects of the Old Testament when it is not actually stated to do otherwise. Example: Eating of sacrificed food was given a specific answer within the New Testament. (1 Corinthians 10:18-33).
So when there are specific examples within the New Testament that is to replace that of the Old Testament, but if it is not directly mentioned in the NT then the OT still hold governance.
Now I state all this because someone stated that my stance of being political was not to found within the Bible. I say this is not true. Yes we are instructed to give unto Caesar that which is Caesar. Yes we are told to obey the magistrates, but here is the catch. When obeying meant you have to disobey God, God took precedent. Did not Mordecai not bow, did not Daniel not eat and did not Jesus Himself stand against the laws of Pharisees which had come to be placed over God’s laws which He had come to fulfil?
Example: The turning over of the money changers tables in the Temple which He stated had been turned into a den of thieves. It was not the money changers that were the thieves, but the Pharisees through their laws they had enacted to allow the money changers in the temple for the profit of the Pharisees who received a portion of the money changers exchange fees for the purchase of sacrificial animals raise and own by the Pharisees. Thus the Pharisees were in fact stealing from those they were meant to minster to.
When humans makes laws that seek to supplant God’s who is to be followed?
Matthew 22:37 – Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
Luke 10:27 – And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
How can I love God the way stated above without placing Him in first and foremost into all that I do? If I do not place Him first in all I do, then I bow, then I eat what I should not eat, then I place the laws of humans over the laws given unto us by God.
Does this mean I break other laws made by humans? No. It does not. It means I work within those laws that do not try to take the place of God. For God has ordained those who are in power for His reasons. If those reasons are to see if they shall become like the Pharisees, then so be it, but those that profess to be the children of God through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, if they say nothing and allow those in power to become the Pharisees without warning them of their errors are they not guilty of sin? Per James 4:17 they are.
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Does this mean that a child of God must become political? Yes it does, as long as he acts within accordance of the law, not only Biblical but of the nation they live within.
Does this mean they are to peacefully protest, to rant, to inform the masses of the errors they are doing? Yes it does for did not the prophets of the Bible do this to Israel. For example: Hosea.
Am I calling myself a prophet? No I am not. My calling from God is to write my blog so as to attempt to reach the lukewarm (Revelation 3:15-16), so they might return once again unto God and feel His loving embrace upon that day of glory when they will be welcomed into His presence as one of His children. This is my ministry. To awaken those that have asked Christ into their hearts and souls yet have fallen from His graces for the world has come to mean more unto them then God.
They are the hypocrites yet they do not know that is what they have become.
Am I called to add to the body of Christ? No I am not. I am called to be a teacher unto those that are already of the Body. I am to study the Bible and attempt to understand it better so that in turn I can help them to understand the Bible better themselves. So if they have faltered and fallen they can pick themselves up and if they have not so they can become closer to God and His desires for all that call themselves His children.
Am I perfect? By all means no I am not. I make errors, I make mistakes. Do I shout when I should talk softly? Yes I do, but it is out of compassion and love for my fellow humans. For I have no desire for them to suffer, which is what will happen if they do not listen. If they turn a deaf ear because they are listening to those that say all is beautiful and fine with the world and God. Yes there is a need for love, but when there is too much love it can do more harm than good. Should I use more love? At times yes, but there are times when there is more of a need of a rod.
Proverbs 13: 24He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Many within the Body spare the rod too much and so sin has run rampant and they are not leading them to salvation but enslavement.
2 Peter 2:18 – For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
This is my manifesto for I am and have been a dreamer of dreams:
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:
Stop falling for the propaganda (Why it is important to mix religion and politics)
But what is this “propaganda”?
It is the belief that you have no say so in the way your government handles issues. It is the belief that those you, yourself place into office know better than you yourself do. It is the belief that there is a separation between church and state.
In this last sentence here is what is true: The government cannot make a religion. Example: the Church of England which the head of this church is Queen Elizabeth. This was placed into the First Amendment of the Constitution for this very reason. Why? So the government cannot dictate to you how or who you are to worship, which is the very next statement in the same amendment. This is the only separation of church and state ever meant by the founding fathers of this nation.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Does this mean that the church cannot stick its nose into the government? No it does not.
John Adams in a speech to the military in 1798 warned his fellow countrymen stating, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams is a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and our second President.
Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence said. “[T]he only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be aid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.”
Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary said, “[T]he Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government. . . . and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence.”
So the influence of the church and of God are mandatory to the very existence of this nation per the founding fathers of this very nation. They understood the importance of placing God first in ALL things.
Now keeping these three quotes in mind above why support an organization that wishes to remove God from it. This is their stance of “faith”:
“Faith. Faith has always been a central part of the American story, and it has been a driving force of progress and justice throughout our history. We know that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith and the countless acts of justice and mercy it inspires. Faith- based organizations will always be critical allies in meeting the challenges that face our nation and our world—from domestic and global poverty, to climate change and human trafficking. People of faith and religious organizations do amazing work in communities across this country and the world, and we believe in lifting up and valuing that good work, and finding ways to support it where possible. We believe in constitutionally sound, evidence-based partnerships with faith-based and other non-profit organizations to serve those in need and advance our shared interests. There is no conflict between supporting faith-based institutions and respecting our Constitution, and a full commitment to both principles is essential for the continued flourishing of both faith and country.”

This is closest they ever get to acknowledging God. It is just a punch of political double talk, it has no meaning or value it is just there to placate and subdue. They do not plan or want to have God first in anything they do. In fact their actions show they actually wish God, the Bible and Christianity removed from everything and everywhere.
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
So what is good? To a true Christian it is to place God first and to follow His teachings as set forth within the Bible. So if the Bible states something is a sin and you know it is a sin and do nothing to stop and even encourage it you are guilty of this sin.
We are told to reprove, rebuke and exhort (2 Timothy 4:1-5) when we do this as instructed within the Bible to do people accuse us of judging them. Yes it also says within the Bible not to judge, but there is a difference. When it refers to those that judge they are guilty of the same sin and also are not working with scripture. Those that stay within scripture and can point out with evidence from within the Bible are not judging but are following what the Bible tells them to do… To reprove…. To rebuke… And then then exhort you with longsuffering to turn from your sin and return unto God and His teachings within the Bible. In most cases those that accuse you of judging are feeling the guilt within and lash out at you because deep down they know you are right.
So back on topic. The Democratic Party denies there is a God.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
This one sentence given by Jesus Christ should be enough to cause those that call themselves Christian to turn their backs upon the Democratic Party, but still many participate and vote Democratic, even though by doing so they are going against God as stated in James 4:17. What this means is that they wish to befriend the world and use the platitude “love the sinner, but hate the sin.” What they forget is that to love the sinner they must reprove, rebuke and exhort them NOT to sin. Look at the verses that follow closely:
1 Corinthians 6: 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
What I want you to note is not what you expect. Look at: “And such were some of you”.
This is a key statement. It is stated in the past tense. They are no longer guilty of this for they have stopped doing it because they truly accept Christ as their Savior and were filled with the Holy Spirit. There are those that say you can live in sin and still be one with God. This is a lie. We are told to separate ourselves from those that sin. Since the Democratic Party supports homosexuality and says to them that not only can they stay this way but that they can now wed is embracing sin. Since it is through the efforts of the Democratic Party that Planned Parenthood commits Abortions and then cuts up the bodies of these dead human fetuses that they themselves killed is a sin. And they openly support it. I have evidence from both of my Senators that are both Democrats that they plan on continuing to support the funding of Planned Parenthood.
Harry Reid proudly announced in an interview that he lied about Mitt Romney to destroy his election. Barack Obama lied to the American public about the benefits of Obamacare. Hilary Clinton has been caught time and again in lie after lie about her e-mail server.
Proverbs 6: 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 19: 9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
John 8: 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
So here is where the Democratic Party Stands:
1) They deny God
2) They support and openly encourage sin
3) They embrace lying
James 4: 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
So it is clear that due to the denial of God, the open support of sin and the proud admissions of lying that any that truly call themselves “Christian” must now make a choice. It is a simple one. God or the Democratic Party. It is up to you, but remember now that you have read this post it is something that will be placed within your book that is being written by an angel that watches over you, that watches over you all of every single moment of every day. (Psalms 139)
Cast out evil and use your power at the ballot box and remove ALL Democrats from office due to their official stance upon God and their open support of sin. No longer call yourself a “Democrat.” I myself call myself “Unaffiliated.” Find those that truly support and live the values set forth within the Bible and know that even in the Republican Party there are wolves in sheep clothing amongst them as well, but at least they official acknowledge there is a God.

Do not think you can still mix within the Democratic Party and try to fix it from the inside-out. You must understand that most within it have embraced the world. They will not leave it. You cannot fix it. The Democratic Party is a lost cause to Christianity. The only way to fix it is to cause its destruction, which can only occur by it collapse due to a mass reduction of support for their actions, their candidates and their openly worldly policies.
This is a nation OF the People and FOR the people. Not those in power, but the PEOPLE. It is your actions that dictate where this nation goes. If you sit in your home and do not participate in the process that governs this nation then know this inaction can be used against you at the Great White Throne Judgement as well. It is time to show your faith and beliefs. You can no longer sit quietly and pray only. It is time to become an “activist Christian” in the political process of this nation, since we are to place religion into the government process. Become someone of action for God.
What are these actions? Writing your government representatives and show them your values and insist they support them, if they do not, remove them from office even to the point of a recall vote. Voting at ALL elections. Actively seeking candidates that truly support God’s values and teachings. If you can find none then you must run for office yourself. Remove any from office that have been in Washington for over a decade and especially do not follow the teachings of the Bible. Teach and spread the word of the Bible to ALL, get out of your house, get out of your churches and get involved and do this 365 days of the year, especially at your job. Let it be known to the world that you serve God and His son the Lord Jesus Christ. Do not live in fear, but be proud to call yourself a child of God.
Debate Review – Prime Time
I came away from this debate worried for this nation. I saw the corruption within the Republican Party and was worried even more then before for this nation. Now you have to understand. I now consider myself unaffiliated from any party even though I grew up and spent most of my life as a Republican. You must also understand that I will never vote for the Democratic Party since they have officially rejected God and have members in power that admit to lying and truly do not care for anyone in this nation because they wish to subjugate all within a socialist type government.
But back on topic: The Debate.
Why do I say I saw the corruption within the Republican Party? Last night due to Fox’s own polling they rigged it so Rick Perry would not be in the top ten, but instead Chris Christie would be. He was planted there as an attack dog against Rand Paul. Why? Because Mr. Paul has openly stated he will reduce the federal government. This has proven throughout the decades to be something that both parties do not wish to do. Christie should not have been on that stage, but no other candidate would attack Paul has he did several times. It is obvious that Christie will not make it to the nomination which is why he was chosen to discredit Paul as best he could.
Paul saw the writing on the wall and so interrupted when he could to make sure he would get heard. In total Rand Paul was asked four questions and only one was of any true substance the rest were aimed at tearing him down further, he was also never given any follow-up questions as most others were, but instead the moderators went to Christie to attack him instead.
Donald Trump has proven why he is running as a Republican, he isn’t one. He is a plant for the Democratic Party meant to split votes allowing the Democratic Party to win, for odds are in favor at this time that he will run against whomever the real candidate for the RNC turns out to be.
Jeb Bush is a weak candidate and it showed fully well last night. He is not his father or his brother and it showed that it was his name that got him elected governor. His high point was his defense of his stance of Common Core which he actually flip flopped on during this very debate.
Scott Walker – was he even there? Oh yea he was, but made no true impact.
Ben Carson showed his intelligence and his humor. He was one of two others on the stage that support a type of flat tax, the others being Paul and Huckabee, but I still see him as a good Vice-President.
Ted Cruz again proved himself to be charismatic and well spoken, but to me he is still too far to the right.
Mike Huckabee did well and got his points across well and his idea of a nation sales tax instead of a flat income tax outright an interesting idea, but he like most upon the stage show no signs of truly reducing the size of the federal government.
Marco Rubio presented himself well, but being married into the Bush family and wished to have a two tiered tax system and does not wish to reduce the federal government leaves me cold to his warmness.
John Kasich was the darling of the moderators. He got the most questions, his responses were as empty of content as Trump’s were. His response when asked about God left me knowing that he is a paper Christian and so I will not support him in any way shape or form.
Of the five that were asked about God only Dr. Carson came out on top with Cruz a very close second. Walker and Rubio answered very well also, but as I just stated above Mr. Kasich showed me that he just lips the words to get votes. I wish they would have asked the question to all ten.
The questions asked in this debate were much better than in the first one, but appears they were given to people upon how they scored in the polls or that they were the governor of the state that hosted the debate. Again I was disappointed in the overall presentation given by Fox News.
