They Want Ultimate, Complete Control Over You And Your Choices

  Here is an excerpt from an email sent out by Marco Rubio and it summarizes many of the things I have wanted to communicate in the past, with all my writing and words!

  Here it is. The summary of all I am trying to say. Sadly, young people today have no idea what the bigger picture is concerning this battle we are in. Many of them have never been taught about Communism or Socialism in school, and even if they had been taught, it would have made Communism and Socialism look desirable, or at least 'fair' (based on some wrong assumptions).

  Communism is not a good thing. It is very bad. And if our country ever does become Communistic, the young people will just assume that it is normal. They have been lied to, and many have bought into those lies.

  One of the biggest lies is that our country is illegitimate. It is not founded upon a true value system, and therefore should be destroyed. This is false, and only takes a few factors into consideration, and makes those factors the basis of a whole belief system designed to destroy America.

   America really was founded in order to provide a safe place where people could think for themselves, and make discoveries and inventions. They could use their creations to serve other people with as well as make a living for themselves and their families. While it is true that some families migrated to America with slaves, America was not founded upon the principles of slavery. Yes, some people fought to keep their slaves. A war was fought and won to set the African American people free from their slave owners. Many were probably pretty angry when that happened, but, keep in mind that many, many people (mainly whites) fought for the slaves to become freed men.

   There were many Abolitionists who hated slavery and even took action where they could, to try to free the slaves. Some Abolitionists were former slave owners. Others kept their slaves as there was no where they could send them or release them to in order for them to survive.

   Just as many are fighting today to abolish abortion and make it illegal to kill babies, many took action to stop slavery from continuing.

   Anyway, we do not live in a slave country, no matter how hard the Left is trying to convince you that we are. The only slaves we have today are those who have been captured and brought into the sex slave trade (which is worldwide). And we are fighting against that as much as possible.

  If African Americans today were under the institution of slavery in this country, I would be out there fighting for them. But, we don't have that kind of slavery today, thank God. And I don't see African Americans being under any threat to go back to being under slavery. Not in America anyway.

   With that said, here is the excerpt from Marco Rubio:


The Democrats are out for power. They aren’t just out to increase regulations on businesses and give themselves more power. They want to control YOU.

Democrats want to make all the decisions in your life and in turn take them completely out of your hands.

They want to put you in a one-size-fits-all government-run program.

They think bureaucrats in Washington know how to run your life better than you do.

What’s even scarier, is the fact that these ideas are gaining traction. Democrats have raised hundreds of millions, and they are using their massive war chests to spread their liberal agenda....

  Yes, they have spent millions of dollars and are continuing to do this every day. They also are backed by George Soros and his ilk. 

  If Communism takes root in America, businesses will be ruined. So many regulations made by the government, and those making the regulations have no idea how businesses are to be run. 

   I should make a list of how different our country will end up if Communism takes root in this country. We can look at true History and see how Communism ruined countries in the past. 

  All your dreams and creative ideas you can throw away. The government will decide if they like what you do or not. And if you have Biblical convictions, if you hold to the Scriptures as God's holy word to us, then the government will definitely decide against you and your intentions. There's a good possibility you will end up in prison, and you will no longer own your house or property. If you live in an apartment, you will be relegated to one that the government chooses for you to live in. 

   No more individuality under a Communist rule. No more going to a grocery store and picking out food you like or use to make meals with. You will have a daily ration of food, that is, if the government likes you. If they don't like you, well, then you will be skipped for your daily ration of food. 

  Think I am joking? Talk to anyone who has lived in a Communist country. I have friends who escaped Communism and now live in America. They will tell you what it is like over there. 

Pray

* For people in America to learn 'the fear of the Lord'

* For lost people in America to have radical conversions

* For people to learn to love the truth

* For people in America to separate the truth from the lies

Once It's Destroyed, It Can Be Remade

   There are those who are asking the question, 'Don't they know that what they are doing is destructive to the foundation of our country?'. They are making the assumption that everyone who seems to be patriotic wants the best for our country. But that isn't really so.

   There are those in the upper levels of government who oppose everything the President is doing. When he makes decisions to build up the military, or to protect our country, these people focus on something other than the serious issues we need to face and work with.

   Our young people are the ones I am concerned about. They have been indoctrinated into believing lies about our country's History and foundation, and they have bought into the lies of the left.

  Make no mistake about this. The Left does not care about you. They are addicted to rage, as someone put it. They are indifferent to low unemployment. The Left is not jumping for joy because the economy is doing so well. In fact, I have seen lies even about this. I have seen articles telling of the imminent collapse of our economy. Nothing is based upon accuracy, just wishful thinking.

  The Left also is not concerned with building up the military. You have to ask the question, when someone joins the army or navy, are they fighting for the America that we know and love, or, did they join the army or navy just for the benefits with no real desire to protect freedom?

   Let's go back to the first point I made. Does the Left know that what they are doing is destructive to the foundation of our country? I believe they do know, and I also believe that what they are doing is intentional. They really do want to destroy our country. And this is the most logical way of doing this.

  This begs the next question; why would the Left want to destroy America? Simple answer; they want to destroy the America we know, simply because once they destroy it, they can remake it into a Socialistic nation.

  The devil is the god of this world. He is not the true and living God, but since the fall, he has stolen the authority over us, and he works through anyone who allows him to. So, the devil works through people in the government, many times. He will work through those, especially, who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ. The people who the devil works through, have darkened minds. They do not have the mind of Christ, nor do they have God's wisdom. They have the wisdom of the world instead. Also, they become puppets for Satan, doing his bidding. These people don't see things through spiritual eyes. They are blind to spiritual truth.

   The devil has always wanted to take freedom away from people. He knows that if he can keep people in the dark, they will not hear the Gospel message and they will not come to know the Lord Jesus Christ.

  America was founded as a free nation. Not many countries have had the kind of freedom America has experienced. I personally believe that God led the original people, as flawed as they were, to America, for the sole purpose of providing a nation where the church could thrive and grow. This church, could be a means of grace to other nations that aren't as fortunate as America has been.

  Many missionaries have been sent out of America to other countries. Today, because of technology and good communication methods, Americans have been able to minister to people who live in other nations.

  The question is, has America been faithful with what she has been given, or have the people in America turned away from God and are they using His blessings to make themselves happy and keep themselves in a selfish state?

  We need to be praying for our local churches, as well as for the leaders of our country. God can change hearts. We need to be praying for the lost, to come to know the Lord.

  It's not by coincidence that whenever the President wants to do something important to help our country, the Left tries their best to stop it. Not only does the Left lie, but they actually want to destroy the country. They want to destroy it, so they can remake it once it crumbles. It will be in their hands, and they will remake it the way they desire, which is into a Socialist/Communist country.

 They are not teaching people to be responsible for themselves. They are shaping the people to be dependent upon others, i.e., the government. When they (the government) have their full allegiance, then they (the government) will have full control over the people. Thus, the people lose their freedoms. 

What is Going On Behind the Decoy?

A couple of days ago, I responded to a post with a comment. A few people thanked me for the comment. What I wasn't aware of was that many people probably are unaware of this information. So, I will take it and post it here for all to be informed.

"The attack from the Left is not just about Trump. It is toward all of us who hold conservative views. I believe Trump is just a decoy and they want to get him out of the way so they can continue marching on destroying our country so they can remake it into a Socialistic country. They hate Trump. But they hate anyone who doesn't go along with or support their immorality and corruption. What is amazing to me is that there is a greater persecution against Trump and his followers than there is to the Lord, although, I think these people hate God's principles and that's why they hate conservatism and anything that gets in the way of their agenda."


I have said this before, but just want to reiterate it in this blog post. 

Also, I have learned much about this from Dinesh D'Souza, a man whose family came over here from India when he was a boy, and became American citizens during that time. Dinesh is brilliant and has a good understanding of what is going on in America today. He has a way better understanding of American History than I ever had! You can find info on him by doing a search on the Internet. He also has books available that you can order from amazon.com.

When Conservative Promote Aggression and Liberals Seek to Unite?

This is so sad. This is what is being taught to students in a California school.

I remember learning, years ago, that in Communist countries, what they would do is to take the sports page from an American newspaper, then they would portray it to their subjects as if there were civil wars going on in America. They would tell their people that America was always in turmoil. America was a bad place to live, and you don't want to go there, they would try to lead their people to believe.

This idea from the California school is not far off. Friends, this is a manifestation of the thinking of men and women who have been turned over by God to their wickedness. These people are in complete darkness, and they see things in reverse (perversion). They see things that God calls, 'good' as evil. They see things God calls 'evil' as good (and desirable). They have lost sensitivity to the things of God and to normalcy. They are like robots. But you can get them to react if you threaten any of their so called 'rights'. They have a false sense of 'entitlement' as the devil has tricked them into believing that they have rights to things that God has forbidden.

We need to pray. When a nation is controlled by perverted people, it is in danger. Think of all the babies that are being slaughtered every day, because of the false idea of a 'woman's right to her own body'. Think about the people who get upset when they see someone praying in a school or even wearing a pin that says 'I Love Jesus', and they are in danger of losing their jobs.

This would have been unthinkable 50 years ago. There was prayer in the schools. Did you know that when America was a brand new country, the teachers used the Bible to teach students how to read. Many came over here to America because of religious challenges in their homeland.

America was started in order for us to have religious freedom without the government's involvement. But just the opposite is happening today. Today, those who have Biblical convictions are the ones who are being pressured to do the opposite and are harassed.

So, we live in a nation with absurd people in it. Not just citizens, but, sadly and primarily, those in government. What can we do?

We can pray. Many have started prayer times designated to pray for our nation. We are in trouble as a country. We have turned our backs on God, and I believe it starts with the church.

Do you know how often I see or hear people responding to the Gospel message by saying something like this; God is all-loving and all-forgiving? What is that supposed to mean? To them, it means that they don't have to repent of their sins and they can still go to heaven. It basically is a rendition of another Gospel. But where did they learn it?

That is the question. I imagine their are churches in every city and state that teach this false doctrine. This is one of the big reasons I personally believe that we are in trouble as a nation. Look at it this way, God begins working in someone's heart, yet that person goes to some church and finds out that everything is ok between him and God, simply because he has acknowledged that Jesus died for his sins. He can go on and live a life of sin and think he will still go to heaven when he dies! What a deception and how sad.

This kind of belief system makes the church weak. The church should be a place of safety for those who are looking for an answer for their sins. The church has to hold onto the teachings of the Bible, and not create an easy believism belief system in order to fill up the pews.

We need to pray for our churches in America, and we need to pray for our country. It's as simple as that.

The Redefinition of 'Bullies'

The word 'bullies' has been redefined. Today, the word 'bullies' means people who have things that you don't have. And every time you encounter one of these 'bullies', you are reminded about what you lack.

  This picture describes two people who end up being equal. This is what they want. They want everyone to be equal. Everyone's the same. No more individuality. No more 'Haves' and 'Have nots'.

No more bullies

  What people tend to forget is that those who 'have' are the ones who tend to share what they have with others. They also use their businesses to hire people who need jobs. If the business produces a good or service that is in demand, it will probably do well, and all who work for that business will prosper.

   You will never hear that from the Left though. They don't think that deeply.

  Remember, a true bully is one who has power over another. If a person has money or a lot of material wealth, it doesn't mean that he or she has power over those who don't.

  May God help us to be generous with what He has provided us with. May we empower others and invest in the economy so all who are able can work and develop the God-given skills they were born with.

   Here are some prayer suggestions:
* Pray for those who know the Lord to be filled with God's love
* Pray for those who can reason, to see the bigger picture of the situation instead of just listening to what they hear and believing what they hear at face value.
* Pray for God to bless those businesses which honor Him (ex. Chick Fil A, Hobby Lobby)
* Pray that we will steward the resources God has given us
* Pray for the Godly to have good jobs

The saying is still true; Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Let's keep people from being idle, and let's help them find their skills and strengths. Otherwise, it opens the door for the Enemy to come in and have his way.

Pray in the Spirit and see how God leads you to pray for these things.

Thoughts For Today Concerning Absurd People's Way of Thinking

  This shows the motive/heart of the Left. They're not even hiding their motives anymore.

Keep in mind that the Democrats are not playing this game the right way. There are not winners and losers. They are not playing to just win. They are playing to take over completely and eradicate any other competition that is against them. Then they can take over America and be the only entity leading our country.


How about this one? Michael Bloomberg thinks that the Chinese dictator has a constituency. Read this quote.
“When the public says ‘I can’t breathe the air’, Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents, or he’s not going to survive … The trouble is you can’t overnight move cement plants and power plants just outside the city that are polluting the air and you have to have their product. So some of it takes time.”*

Do you think he would make a good president?

Xi Jinping was not elected to be his country's leader. Read this next quote from Bloomberg:

“You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people,” Bloomberg said. “He has to deliver services.”

Maybe someone should give him an old History book to read. 

Communist countries do not hold elections. They never have, and they never will, at least as long as they stay Communist.

Why Good Men Do Not Fall Into The Traps That Are Set Before Them

  I want to do this carefully, but I want to show you something I find interesting. While I don't want to compare Donald Trump to the Lord Jesus Christ, what I see in this is fascinating.

   We know that the Lord Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He is holy and doesn't make mistakes. He is all knowing and has everything planned out. The President is very wise. I would say he is a genius. But he is prone to making mistakes and having weaknesses.

  When Jesus was living among us on the earth, He encountered people who refused to believe that He was God and that He has a claim on our lives. If what Jesus said to these people was true, it would mean that the people would have to give account to God one day for their actions, and they refused to acknowledge that. They wanted to remain autonomous, independent of God.

  Notice how the Pharisees and Scribes of Jesus' day, believed in God. They strongly believed in God. But, they refused to submit to this God who revealed Himself to the Israelites. Their hearts were hardened to God in such a way, that God turned them over to their wickedness.

  The wickedness of Jesus' day was expressed in a different way than it is in our society today. Back then, it was self-righteousness. Today, it is expressed by corrupt behavior. People who live in our society enjoy living out acts of immorality and getting away with it.

  Not everyone who is immoral though, has a hardened heart. Remember how in Jesus' day, the prostitutes and tax collectors came to know the Lord before the religious people of that day.

  Jesus explained to the people what the standard of God is. He showed mankind the corruptness of their hearts. Some people didn't like that. So, what they did was to try to trap Jesus into not being able to answer their questions. They wanted to trap Him so they could nail Him. They wanted to discredit Him because they hated everything He stood for. They wanted to make Him look stupid. Every time He spoke, or His name came up, they cringed. They even looked for a way to destroy Him. Many times.

   Jesus had some harsh words to say to them. He called them 'blind guides' and 'hypocrites' in Matthew 23. They tried to trap Him by asking Him questions that they thought He wouldn't be able to answer. (See also Mark 11 on asking Jesus where He got His authority).

   Watching what goes on in the White House is like watching a game. Those who are on the Left, the Socialistic minded people who are at the top levels of government, are continually trying to trap the President in something they can get him to fall into. Every day, a new trap is set out. Somehow though, in an amazing way, the President hasn't fallen into their traps.

  Unlike other Conservative Presidents who have led our country, the current President makes no bones about what he thinks about these people who keep setting up traps for him. They take clips of something he said, and twist it all around to make it look like he is a bigot or racist, when the original statement had nothing to do with that subject.

   These people have accused him of immoral acts that he didn't commit. They find out about a telephone call he made to a leader of another country and think to themselves, 'Bingo'. Now, for sure we can find something wrong that he did. The transcripts were open for all to read, and nothing is there that he did wrong. Yet, these people are convinced that if we look hard enough, something will show up.

  They photoshop pictures of him looking like he is bullying a little child (supposed to go with their narrative that he is separating children from their parents at the Border) when in reality, this act of separating children from their parents at the Border came about under Obama's administration.

  Our President has a good group of people around him, supporting him and even counseling him, at times. Plus, he has many, many people praying for him, which is a good thing. I would hate to see what would happen if he didn't.

  At the end of Jesus' life on earth, God allowed the Enemy to have his way, for a while. The greatest injustice took place on earth then. Notice though, that although there were many who would have killed Jesus during His lifetime on earth, that action happened at a specific time, for a specific reason. It happened so that God could have mercy on all of us, who are sinful. Because of Jesus' death on the Cross, God and people could now be reconciled.

  I don't know what will happen to the President in the future. I do know, that we need to be praying for him daily. We need to pray for his protection and safety for his family. We need to pray that he will make wise decisions. We need to ask God to protect him from sinning.

  One striking thing I want to bring out here is that with both Jesus and President Trump, there is a serious attack on them, and really it is for the same basic reason; people love darkness rather than light. In Jesus' day, those who hated Him were arrogant. They felt like they were God's final and only authority on earth, and when Jesus came along and explained what sin really was, they rejected the idea for themselves. They wanted to continue in their darkness and they didn't want Jesus to stop them. So they tried to trap Him and kill Him, if they could.

   But with the President, the goal is similar. Although the President, in his earlier days, had other ideas, he really wised up to what is good and right. He even changed political parties and embraces integrity and morality. He opposes corruption and stands up against it using his authority. The left knows this. And they hate him for it. They hate the idea that the President is appointing people to the Supreme Court who are Pro-life. They hate him because he is working to defund Planned Parenthood. They have come up with every kind of lie imaginable to get this man out of office. They would put an end to him, at all costs.

   I hope you can see that this is a spiritual battle we are in. We have to fight spiritual battles with spiritual weapons. We need to be praying for our country. We need to be praying for lost souls to come to know the Lord. We need to be praying for those who know the Lord to have fire in their bones. We need to be praying for the lies to be exposed. We need to be praying for the hidden works of darkness to be exposed and dealt with. We need to be praying for a just judicial system to be restored in our country.

  Pray for the President to outsmart every attacker who is set against him.
