Luke chapter  2:8-20  New Living Translation

The Shepherds and Angels

^8” That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. ⁹ Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, ¹⁰ but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. ¹¹ The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! ¹² And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”

¹³ Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,

¹⁴ “Glory to God in highest heaven,
    and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”

¹⁵ When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

¹⁶ They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. ¹⁷ After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. ¹⁸ All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, ¹⁹ but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. ²⁰ The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.”

This is for most people the time of year when family and friends come together to celebrate Christmas with various traditions that have in many cases defined the season as something other than what it in reality is.

  Christmas as most people know is when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is widely believed that in reality He was more likely born in the spring of the year and not on December 25^th, which is irrelevant the important thing is that He was born!

  His birth is often portrayed as a sad event in that he was born in a ‘barn’ and not in a palace befitting the King that He indeed was. The truth is that it was necessary for Him to come into the world the way He did because He was born to be more than a King, He was born to be the Redeemer of mankind. Until His arrival among us, man’s sin was covered over repeatedly with the blood of animals as a sacrifice for the atonement of sin. He was destined to be the ultimate once and for all time sacrifice for the REMOVAL, not the covering, of mans’ sin.

  Every detail that was mandated under the Old Covenant dealing with the animal sacrifice for the atonement of man’s sins were fulfilled in his death, none of which could have been met had He come into the world in any other way. God’s ways are not our ways and our ways are not His, He uses the foolish things to confound the wise!

 This year take a few minutes to reflect on the greatest gift ever given, the redemption from sin and the free gift of salvation! Always remember that Christmas is celebrating the beginning of the story. The most important part of the story is that Jesus only remained a baby in a manger for a short time. He grew into a man who changed the lives of countless millions when He willingly gave His life for theirs on a cross made from a tree that He created, wearing a crown made of thorns from a bush He created and at the hands of men He created and willing died for and whom He asked His Father to forgive! He was born to die and it is that which we celebrate on December 25^th.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

   I sense a stirring in the ‘spirit’ that I have not felt before and I believe it is building to an enormous shift in the way we see the events unraveling not only in the United States but around the world. Old alliances are being broken and replaced by what can only be described as “Unholy Alliances”. Allies that have stood by us through wars and terror attacks are  being discarded and replaced with sworn enemies who have aided and abetted in attacks on U.S. soil and on our embassies and military installations around the world killing thousands of Americans.

  Though I know we are under attack from ‘without’ I have no doubt that we are also under attack from within. The evidence to support that assumption is abundant and growing daily. The enemies within are in our own government and have been for many decades. They are anti-American and anti-capitalism in their ideology and can and will use any and all means to achieve their goal of transforming America into a Socialist/Marxist state. They are ruthless and coldhearted to their core, putting their agenda above the lives of ordinary citizens and the security of the republic which they swore to defend from all enemies.

   The evidence of their coldhearted agenda was put on display once again as they exploited the murders of 26 innocent citizens in Connecticut by employing a key strategy of their end goal of a totalitarian state. Progressives are masters of manipulating facts to play on the emotions of people to make them believe that the facts ‘prove’ that theirs is the only logical solution to any problem and any who oppose them are dangerous and ignorant fools. Demonization of their opponent was clearly seen during the 2012 presidential race and it worked very well for them.

  What needs to understood by everyone who loves this great nation is that we are at war for the soul of the republic. Though our government won’t openly admit that we are at war with Islam, and indeed many of them are too ignorant to know it, Islam is at war with us. These same people will not acknowledge that we are at war with an ideology that is exactly the same as that of Islam, and most Americans refuse to acknowledge that evidence to their own peril.

   The Progressives have done the most disgusting thing imaginable to most decent and respectful human beings by exploiting the atrocity that occurred in Connecticut. There has been an outcry of anger at myself and others who fired back at the Progressives heartless and calculated exploitation of the innocent. This Progressive tactic should have opened the eyes of everyone who condemned the response by conservatives, but it did not.

  Those of us who have been fighting the agenda of the Progressives understand what we are up against and cannot allow the emotional ploys of our adversaries to force us to capitulate on the smallest of issues let alone one as huge as the second amendment. Every hesitation or show of weakness on the part of conservative constitutionalists will be exploited and used as propaganda against our cause of preserving our liberties under the Constitution and restoring those that have been stolen or given up.

   Every war is made up of large and small battles that have casualties on both sides which leave many ‘soldiers’ involved in those battles devastated and in need of R.&R. to recover from shellshock. Progressives know this fully and are always looking for a crisis or tragedy to exploit for their diabolical goal of fundamentally transforming America into what they consider to be utopia. Their utopia is in reality a Marxist Socialist state where they, the elite, dictate every aspect of life, thus eliminating the basic rights of life, liberty and the “PURSUIT” of happiness.  

 The generals and those who are in the ‘war room’ are aware of the need for R.&R. and allow for the regrouping of those wounded warriors, but they cannot withdraw from the war and cede the ground that has been secured in the battle. They must remove themselves from the emotional aspects of war and remain fully focused on the objective before them.

  We cannot allow ourselves to be distracted and let personal feelings about what has happened divide us in our fight for survival and ultimately the over throw and destruction of Progressivism in America. Those who are new to the reality of the assault that fellow Americans are making on the Constitution must understand that they have much to learn about the ruthlessness of Progressives and their hatred of traditional values. I, and many others like me, have been trying to awaken Americans to the threat for a very long time and are only now beginning to see and understand the true depths of evil that dwells in the hearts and minds of the Progressive leadership.

  Every decent and caring American wanted to just grieve and allow those affected by the murders of the children and teachers mourn and bury their dead in peace, unfortunately the progressives know nothing of decency and moral high ground. The President and his propaganda machine, the mainstream media, immediately took advantage of the crisis to demonize and attack their enemy, the constitution. They did exactly the same thing the morning of the attack that ended with the murders of four Americans in North Africa. The first statements from the President and from the Secretary of State were aimed at the First Amendment by saying, at a national press conference, that the deaths were the fault of one individual abusing his right to free speech and went on to emphatically defend the government from any blame.

 With the bully pulpit that the Progressive enjoy we cannot let up and back off for an instant. The war we are in is the most deadly America has ever faced and the enemy is very close to gaining the minds of the uninformed and the unengaged. Every inch of room we give them will be run through their propaganda machine and will be used to demonize us. We must hold every inch we have and keep up the fight to stop them. There is no option but to go on the offensive and pour everything we have into exposing their true motives for exploiting death and demonizing their opponents. They have been able thus far to keep those who support the Constitution on the defensive but that must change.

  It is my hope that once the pain of those who have been so badly shocked by the deaths and the overt politicization by the President and Progressives has run its’ proper course that those who pulled back from the battle would see the reality of the evil that has entrenched itself in the halls of our government and will return to fight again.

   The fundamental transformation of America by a Marxist revolution has gained much ground and the war for the restoration of the core values we were built upon is getting more dangerous with each passing hour. The anger we all feel towards the powers trying to bring us down must be a righteous anger and it must be focused like a laser on the one at the heart of the evil seeking our destruction. Our enemy is not a person but a spirit who is the father of all lies and who appears as an angel of light to deceive even the elect if it were possible. He is the master of deception and division who will stop at nothing to bring confusion and delusion to those who pose a threat to his plan of enslaving humanity under his control.

  Prayer and fasting will have to be our first line of OFFENCE in exposing him and those in his employ. An honest and urgent desire to know and follow the voice of our Shepherd must be our second line of OFFENCE. The desire for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven must be our third line of OFFENCE. And LOVE must be our HIGHEST GOAL. If we will follow his lead He will be faithful and we can be assured that SAVING AMERICA will be an achievable task. The enemy will try to overwhelm us with fear and will try to make us cower at the size of the task, but our God is LOVE and HIS PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR!

“LET NO CRISIS GO TO WASTE” says one of the leaders of the Progressive movement. This is exactly what is taking place concerning the horrific murders of innocent children and those entrusted with their care. The Progressives who are completely responsible for the state of America’s cultural decline are now the ones who say law abiding citizens should be punished for the illegal actions of a single individual.

  It was and is the Progressives/Democrats who have lead the fight to bring the doctrines of tolerance and acceptance of  ideologies that would have had most of our grandparents out raged and those trying to introduce the perversions would have been “TARED and FEATHERED” and run out of town on a rail!

   Progressive have promoted the idea that children should not be spanked as punishment because it may harm their psychological development, that they need to learn that there are no winners or losers, that they are what really matters and they deserve everything the world has to offer. They are taught that evil, as described by the beliefs of their grandparents, is an outdated concept and anything that is desirable is acceptable and no one has the right to infringe on your rights.

 This same ideology has been responsible for the destruction of every society in history and if America does not wake up and see the real enemies are actually the people we have been electing to public office we will soon find ourselves suffering the same fate as the supporters of tolerance have throughout history. The devaluing of human life and desensitizing of society to the dangers of collectivism is leading to a totalitarian rule that will start with the real goal being revealed only after they are able to disarm the average citizen.

  You will, and indeed have already heard the illogical rants from the elite that we need to make more regulations that will make guns less prevalent in society. These outspoken anti-violence elitist are largely the Hollywood types who glorify gratuitous violence and promote anti-moral or amoral life styles for their own wealth and fame, who for the most part all have armed security to protect them. For some reason it is fine for them to hire someone to protect them with a gun but it is not ok for the average citizen to protect themselves. The propaganda we are about to be assailed with is going to be vicious and with few people knowing how to use critical thinking we may well lose this fight which could lead to armed conflict on our own soil.

   It will be critical in the coming weeks and months to be able to respond quickly, logically, factually and boldly to the plays on emotion that will come. Progressives know how to twist their argument to sound compassionate and concerned for the “safety of OUR CHILDREN” while burying the statistical facts. Any simple minded person could, but nearly none will, read for themselves the facts that are available for all to see.

  The states and cities nationwide that have the strictest anti-gun laws are the states and cities with the highest violent crime rates. Chicago Illinois, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles California are among the strictest in America and hold the dubious honor of being the most dangerous cities in America. D.C. and Chicago have been called the murder capitols of America. While states like Arizona and Texas have very limited gun laws they also have the lowest gun related crime rates. Logic and facts from the federal government prove beyond any doubt that gun laws are not the problem. 

  The problem is a persistent, calculated and systematic attack on the moral standards of the American people. There are a number of factors that have been employed to destroy the fabric of our society among which are attacks on family values and elimination of Biblical principles from society.

  The foundation of Planned Parenthood by the noted and highly acclaimed by Progressives, Margret Sanger, is responsible for the devaluing of human life. Planned Parenthood is described as being pro-choice when in reality it is pro-infanticide as described by its founder Ms. Sanger. It was founded to eliminate the undesirable elements of society: Blacks and so-called handicapped persons. The idea that Planned Parenthood is pro-choice is ludicrous; the only choice acceptable to the organization is one which is in agreement with their philosophy of life.

   Few, if any, who support this organization, question their propaganda terminology. They call a baby in the womb a fetus to eliminate any guilt associated with the elimination of it. The truth is ‘fetus’ is the Latin word for baby and no matter how one tries to spin the facts, every abortion is the aborting of a human life in the form of a child!

 The corruption that abounds throughout this organization is well documented and well ignored by public officials who fund it with the hard earned tax dollars of American workers. Every attempt to shed light on the ideology behind the systematic destruction of life by P.P. is met by the progressives with outrage directed at those who would, in their words, send women back to the ally with a clothes hanger and remove a woman’s basic human rights. There is never a mention of the people who are alive and are healthy after having survived an abortion attempt.

  Another aspect of the Progressive agenda is the complete removal of any reference to Biblical values and the very mention of God. Anyone who would dispute this fact need only view the outrage at the Democratic National Convention concerning the insertion of the word “God” to their platform.

  Progressives are leading the assault on traditional America with things like calling Christmas related activities and symbols with the term “holiday”. Again revealing themselves as the most intolerant and non-inclusive detrimental aspects of society. Their obvious goal, and one which they are willing to pursue by any means, is total control of the lives of people they deem inferior to themselves. They are indeed a danger to the core of society and to the guaranteed rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

  They know their goal is unachievable as long as there are armed patriots who believe in the ideology that has for nearly 300 years made America the greatest nation in the history of the world.

  If there were teachers or administrators who were armed in the school in Conn. or in the mall last week or the Sheik temple or any of the other crime scenes where a gunman killed innocent people the death toll would have been much less and possibly none would have been killed.

  In nations like Israel where they take threats seriously, not from a politically correct position, where profiling is the norm they openly show a force of arms in schools and malls and hotels and virtually everywhere in the public sector. Israel is a nation surrounded by nations with the stated goal of death to all Jews and they are living within their borders, yet there are few attacks such as we have seen in America. I contend that the reason for the lack of brazen firearm attacks on the Israeli society is solely because of the show of arms publically.

 Progressives are going to begin to demand that gun ownership be severely curtailed and eventually be eliminated for all except the elite. They must be confronted at every opportunity with facts and there must be a full frontal assault in defense of the second amendment. People must be made aware of the agenda of the Progressives and their ties to the U.N. agenda of global disarmament in order to implement global governance. If we allow the opposition to win the second amendment fight we will also lose our first amendment right because the second amendment is what protects the first and all subsequent liberties guaranteed under our Constitution. The war we are in is about to ramp up in severity and America as we know it is at risk of becoming part of a failed ideology called Progressivism.

 Never before has SAVING AMERICA been more important for the future of our children and the world. It is getting close to a time to take up arms and protect our liberties. Though we have not yet reached that time we must be prepared and make it known to the powers that are attempting to destroy our God-given rights, that all options are on the table and we believe America is worth fighting for and worth sacrificing our lives for.  

 Our first and most important weapon in this battle is that of prayer and we must fully employ this weapon individually and collectively. God must be our first resort and He will deliver us if we humble ourselves, confess our sins, repent from our rejection of Him and follow His lead. He will be our forward shield and our rear guard if we must take up arms and if we don’t. Where ever these battles take us we must be certain that we stand with Him and not just assume He is on our side. With firm reliance on Divine protection and Divine direction we will, by the word of our testimony, the Blood of The Lamb and the willingness to give our own lives overcome the enemy.

 I am concerned by a lot of anti-local church talk in the country today. Few people who have made the decision to stop fellowshipping with the body have read and understood what scripture has to say about the church. There has always been a lot wrong with churches, even among the remaining 11 disciples there were a lot of problems. Peter and Paul wrote nearly all of their letters to churches that had every kind of corruption including political correctness in them but never once did they tell a single believer to leave fellowship. In fact the writer of Hebrews said DO NOT FORSAKE the fellowship aspect of church as you see the end approach.

  Most people have the belief that going to church is supposed to be for them to get something and rarely if ever go with the intention of giving something other than their tithe. The idea that we should go to the church of our choice is a lie from the pit of hell! We should all go to the church of HIS CHOICE for us! We should be going to worship Him not to "GET ANYTHING" but to give to Him period! There is a church somewhere near every believer that needs them, and if not, it is the responsibility of the believer to begin one!

  The infiltration of the so-called social gospel into the Church has made many, not all but many, Churches little more than social gatherings where if we are not the center of attention or the “service” did not touch me personally then the pastor failed and did not feed the flock. If the music is too loud or too contemporary or too traditional it was inferior “worship” and there was no anointing on it.

  For the Church to fulfill its’ purpose in the world, those to whom the gospel was given must understand the purpose that God has placed them here for. The purpose has been hi-jacked by the same spirit that has taken most of the rest of the world, greed. Everything has to benefit me or mine or it is wrong.

  One of the biggest problems with the Church is tradition. Many traditions are little more than ruts, “graves with the ends kicked out”, used by Satan to keep people from thinking. Don’t get me wrong there is a place for tradition; it is tradition that has kept many truths alive and passed down to succeeding generations and should continue to do so.

 The traditional church “service” is not found in scripture anywhere. It is wrongly believed to be the way church has always been. The best description of a ‘Biblical church service’ is found in Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth chapter 14. I can honestly say that I have never attended a Church where I didn’t have that portion of scripture come to mind and want to see it manifest. However only on a few occasions was the opportunity given to exercise the right to do so because it would interrupt the way things are done and cause confusion, and as we all know confusion is not from God!

  Those who would criticize the Church in an attempt to justify not attending one, do so to their own detriment and have no knowledge of what Church is. Church is to be a place where ministry to God takes place. There is no formula or criteria laid out in scripture that would support any other conclusion. During the acts of worship and praise God then begins to minister to His people either directly through His Spirit or through His people. Scripture says that God inhabits the praises of His people and I believe it is during the time He is inhabiting our praise that we receive true ministry.

  If believers would only realize that we have a mandate from God to make disciples of all men and that our God given purpose is to go into all the world to do so, our nation would not be in the shape it is. Being distracted and entertained by the social gospel has cost the present and future of America. The restoration of the nation falls squarely on the backs of Christians and more precisely on the backs of those who are called to be Church leaders.

  America has been lost by the church and can only be won back by her. Those who have left fellowship and turned away from the body must return to a local Church. The Devil has deceived these people into believing they do not need fellowship because they can ‘worship’ Him anywhere at any time. I have had this conversation with many who claim to be believers and have asked them if they actually do make time for worshipping Him and none, not one, has been able to look me in the eye and say they were doing fine with God and were confident that He was happy with their decision leave the body. No one ever told me that they actually used their ability to worship where ever and whenever to actually spend time worshipping Him. They are all deceived and must return to fellowship with the bride or risk the fate of the 5 virgins that were left unprepared.

 The Church needs to get back to the place she was at the founding of America, not only involved in but actually running the country. There is no excuse for our current state and we must repent and cry out to God to restore our first love. We have to stop letting the world dictate our morals and return to Biblical standards of living and governing.

   SAVING AMERICA depends on individual believers actually doing the work of evangelists and that means making the sacrifices necessary to make this a reality. Political correctness kills and divides while helping to confuse issues paramount to the restoration of the republic. We must not be afraid to confront the wrongs within the body and those within our society for fear of offending the elite or those deceived by them!

   “My people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge”. These are sobering words but they are none the less as true today as the day they were spoken. Willful ignorance has been the cause of many tragic and catastrophic events throughout human history.

    Whole societies have been destroyed and entire people groups have been enslaved or targeted for mass slaughter because their leaders refused to define their enemies. The classic example of this took place during the Second World War when England sent Neville Chamberlain to negotiate with Hitler and all but excommunicated Winston Churchill.

   Chamberlain was the more popular and politically correct politician but Churchill, though not a ‘traditional ‘believer, was a realist and recognized the threat Hitler posed. The people of England chose to believe the words of the progressive idealist and took the word of a murdering mad man over the logic of Churchill.

  Chamberlin went to meet with Hitler and signed an agreement with him for leaving England alone and free from his plans to conquer the world. The fools who refused to see the reality of the evil that was just across the English Channel were soon being brutalized by the relationship they had just heralded as a great friendship. The smiling ideologues who rejected Churchill were soon calling on him to save the nation from annihilation. Churchill, being a visionary and a realist, was actively preparing for the onslaught he knew would come to England. When he was called back to serve he was prepared because he was building a coalition to govern and defend the country he loved while he was in virtual exile.

  I believe history is repeating itself today in America. The names and places have been changed, to “protect the innocent” (just kidding there), but the story is the same. Today we have made covenant with a terror group and have given sanctuary to many who are actively plotting the destruction of America and replacing it with an Islamic Caliphate. Though there is not a single voice proclaiming the danger ahead there are many who are trying to warn the masses.

  The masses however are uninterested or uninvolved, or both, with the issues facing the worlds stability. There has not been a greater threat to western civilization since the cold war ended. I even find myself growing weary of trying to wake people up to the threat of Shariah and the oppression of free expression.

  Without realizing what is happening, nearly the entire western population has willingly submitted to Shariah by complying with political correctness. The brainwashing and indoctrination of our children is nearly completed and the adult population keeps right on electing and re-electing politicians who are as clueless as they are, or worse who are sympathizers with Islam. They proclaim Islam as a religion of peace and go out of their way to accommodate their every whim. They are quick to condemn any voice that dares to speak the truth about the evils that are an inherent fundamental of Islam. 

 With the threat of Islam growing on a daily basis, worldwide, we must follow Winston Churchill’s example and build a coalition of patriots who will step up and save the butts of the rest of the nation when the strikes begin. I say ‘when’ because I believe the words spoken by the spiritual leaders of Islam must be taken literally. The goals of Islam are manifested through violence and there will be no mercy for the infidels, even, and especially, for those who betrayed the constitution to help further the Islamist rule. Those who betrayed their country, either through ignorance or deceit will be among the first to be eliminated by the fundamentalists.

  I do not know who, or how many people will be needed but it will be many, to fight the coming war. War must come in order to eliminate America and implement a Caliphate. There will be many who will just roll over and comply but there will be many more that will not, and those who resist must connect and be aware of who is loyal to America and who is not. If the republic is to survive an Islamic assault there must be a coalition built soon.

   The overthrow of the west is not a new goal for Islam; they have tried to destroy western nation’s right from their inception some 1400 years ago. They were pushed back many times but they never gave up their quest. They have suffered many defeats and they have learned much from them. The speed at which they are advancing is nothing short of a satanic miracle. Our building of a patriotic coalition must be equally as fast in its forming. It will be an act of God if we are able to catch up and unite as one force to save America. I DO NOT believe it is time to take up arms to defeat them and I pray to God it never comes to that but, we must be prepared to act when THEY start the violence. God will not honor a war of aggression but I believe He will aid in a just war to protect and preserve the nation He birthed. The times we are living in are like no other in the history of the republic and it will continue to worsen as time goes on and the Progressives are in power. It is the duty of every American to rise up in defense of our founding principles because SAVING AMERICA is not an option.

                                  Bound By Covenant

  There is such a deep unrest in my spirit about the state of our country. I can only liken America’s current condition to a marriage that has broken apart. When a man and woman are united in marriage there is a very tangible spiritual bonding that occurs. This bond is something that mystifies both the couple that makes the commitment and those who witness that commitment play out in their lives and in the case of America to those who have marveled at her history.

   Sometimes after years of sharing every aspect of life, from the birth of children to the deaths of friends and loved ones, the relationship begins to become rote, and without any noticeable warning signs it becomes cold and uninteresting. One partner begins to feel alienated or unimportant and gradually begins to look outside the relationship for that place of importance once felt deeply within their being. Over time the extra-marital relationship has taken over the heart of the partner and the marriage ends in separation.

  The other partner has been unaware anything has been so bad in their marriage that it would come to the point of separation let alone divorce. His taking for granted that she would always “just be there” has allowed him to lose touch with the fact that he was forsaking her need of constant communication and intimacy. His own narcissism had alienated her and driven her into the arms of another who had evil intent.

  The spiritual bond that happens in the ceremony of marriage remains entwined within the spirit of both partners. In one there is a sense that they have been wounded and hurt and there is a justification or rationalization process taking place in their mind to look elsewhere for attention. They very often become bitter and resentful toward the one they feel has betrayed them, and the pendulum swings from a relationship of total commitment to the covenant to one of total denial of it.

  In the other there is a realization that they indeed bear much of the responsibility for the marriage falling apart and he desperately wants to restore it to where it was when it was young and fresh. He goes to extremes to get back the one he has allowed to drift away but she will have no part of it. He has such turmoil and anxiety caused by the spiritual bond and tries to force her to return but she cannot be made to love again. The relationship can only be restored when both husband and wife are in agreement and have a renewed commitment to the vows taken and to their partner. There has to be involvement in the everyday affairs of the marriage with special attention to the needs of the other being elevated above their own.

  The turmoil I have in my spirit is much like that of one whose narcissistic life has forsaken an oath taken as a young man to a young woman in marriage. The oath was one which was intended to endure for life. The oath I took was to this country when I volunteered to serve in the armed forces and it, like the marriage covenant, had no expiration date attached but death.

  For most of my life after leaving active duty I left all my responsibility to protect and defend the constitution behind and sought self-gratification while enjoying the liberty and freedom this great nation affords its citizens. Now I know I am responsible for forsaking the covenant and for the ‘adulterous’ condition America is in.

  One part of me wants desperately to take up arms and retake the country that so many fought and died to preserve and protect from the ideologies that now control her. I know that if left to her own devises she will be completely destroyed so I spend all my time trying to get her attention and expose the true identity of the one who has seduced her into believing she can have peace and prosperity if she just renounces the foundation she is built upon. But it seems that the more pressure I apply and the louder I scream the farther away she pulls.

   To others it may seem that the spiritual bond I speak of is ridiculous and extreme but I have experienced the reality of both bonds I describe. One is no stronger than the other in the realm of covenant. Both are sworn oaths before God and man and both are active until death. Both will have a profound effect on generations of Americans yet to be born. The responsibility to honor the covenant made is overwhelming my spirit and sense of duty and honor.

  I know that taking up arms will only lead to a “French” Revolution and the further destruction and rejection of the foundational principles of America, so what is the answer to bringing America/Americans back to sanity and civility? There is only one thing that will save America now, me and others like me, living life to its fullest while reaching out to others one person at a time.

 Because America’s problem is a severe moral failure at every level, we must strive to restore morality to society. Our founders said ‘the republic will only survive if we remain a moral people’. Our moral values are those given by our creator and must be restored to the mainstream of society. It has taken the better part of 100 years to bring us to this state of depravity and it cannot be reversed any time soon, save a sovereign move of God, which has happened many times throughout history so there is hope!

  The only hope for a restored America is a restored people. The gospel of Jesus Christ is where this nation began and is where we must return. Each believer needs to seek God for forgiveness for being self-centered and poor stewards of the land He has given us. We need to literally beg Him not to hold our sins of omission and commission against us. There must be a renewing of the “Kingdom first” mentality. God wants souls for His kingdom and until “We the People” once again become the “people called by His name” we will have no peace or prosperity in America.

  The stressful turmoil felt by patriots like myself will only be relieved when we lay that burden down and seek the face of the King. As we seek Him He will show us what to do and how to do it. The pain we feel is from broken covenant and we must renew that covenant with God. He has not and cannot break covenant and will pursue this nation to the gates of hell to draw us back to Him. We have been given many chances through ‘natural’ disasters and terrorist attacks, but have only briefly turned toward Him but never to Him.

  What we are about to go through with the re-election of Barack Obama will bring this nation to its knees and if we do not turn to God and acknowledge Him and ask His Divine presence in our Land, He will allow our destruction to take place and He will raise another generation who will  earnestly turn to Him.

  The oath I took as a young man has been refreshed and renewed within my spirit and I hereby proclaim that I will honor the oath to protect and defend the constitution. I would ask that every American who understands freedom and liberty to renew the oath within your heart and if you have never taken it upon entering service to the country Google the oath and make it to this great land and then get out there and do your part to bring one American “home” and then another and another. If we work together we will eventually change the course of the nation. If we are successful, SAVING AMERICA will not have to be a war generations to come will have to fight and we will have saved our own sacred honor and not died as cowards!

   Insanity springs eternal, at least in the United States of America. When the results of the 2012 elections we released I, like many other hopeful Americans, could not believe what America had done to herself. The self-inflicted wound will definitely cause much pain and will leave a mark that I hope remains evident for centuries to come. I would have preferred to have seen the Progressive machine defeated and a new president elected but that did not happen. Instead America sold what was left of her heritage for a “bowl of porage” in the form of Food stamps, free birth control and a variety of other government freebies.  

   It is astounding to consider how a nation, as great as America is, with more potential than any other on earth to be self-sufficient, could succumb to an ideology that believes to take from one to give to another is the best way to succeed. It appears that all our founders fought and died to secure has been betrayed by an uninformed, misled, and narcissistic society.

  The moral standards that have defined America for hundreds of years are now a thing of the past. Sodomy is now not only an acceptable alternate lifestyle but is becoming a focal point in the schools our children attend and our tax dollars support. Same sex marriage is now legal in many states and the current administration has declared support for it and, if given the chance, would sign a constitutional amendment supporting it as a nation. Wealth redistribution is at the heart of the ruling party’s fiscal ideology which is a complete reversal of the capitalist principals that made Americans the most individually prosperous people in the entire world. Government mandated health insurance is required of every citizen, but not of the millions of illegal aliens that are putting the bulk of the fiscal burden on the healthcare industry. Abortion on demand must be paid for with the tax dollars of multiple millions of citizens whose moral values preclude them from supporting the killing of innocent human life at any stage. Selective (in)justice is administered for political gains. Free speech is being blamed for the murder of an American ambassador and three other Americans. Islam is controlling foreign policy and is beginning to dictate domestic affairs and threatens the first amendment of the constitution. The recreational use of marijuana has been legalized for the purpose of raising revenues.

  The list of ungodly, un/anti-American, and blatantly Marxist, Communist, Socialist and Fascist policies America has adopted as part of her new identity is much longer than the afore mentioned crimes against the moral values of our founding fathers. Needless to say many good citizens are devastated by the choice that the majority of Americans made for the future of our beloved and God ordained nation.

  So what lays ahead for what was the greatest nation the Earth has ever seen? The answer to that question I believe will be revealed soon and as painful as the near future will be there is still hope for this wounded land. Our restoration and reconciliation with the God who ordained this land, in my opinion, could not or would not have been possible had we elected anyone but Barack H. Obama.

  Had Mitt Romney been elected the fiscal state of affairs would most probably have been put back on track. A financial boom and a reformed tax code would likely have industry and the job market excited as unemployment fell to pre-recession rates. All of the economic benefits of a President Romney would have done nothing to fix the REAL problem with America.

  The aspects of our society that are an abomination to God would only have been better financed by the new economic recovery. Just as Manna and Quail from heaven only satisfied the stomachs of the Jews in the desert, financial recovery would only have delayed the journey to the Promised Land. It is likely that the hardhearted grumbling generation that refuses to fight for liberty in order to enjoy God’s blessings will be destroyed in the wilderness and only the Joshua’s and Caleb’s will survive to lead the next generation across the Jordan and into the land of freedom and prosperity promised to their forefathers. The journey to those blessings is going to be long and very difficult but it must be made for our sacred honor and our posterity.

  We who have been sounding the alarm warning of impending doom were born for such a time as this. We know and can identify the “Giants in the Land”. We have vision to impart to the next generation so that they can take back the high places and destroy the strongholds held by those giants for far too long. We must continue to make our voices heard with boldness and without fear of reprisal.

  This new generation of patriots will need everything we can give them in terms of time, spiritual guidance and all the encouragement we can give them. History shows that when left to fend for themselves, the young and inexperienced will not survive the pressures of a fallen society. The Lord has been faithful to keep a remnant in the land for the purpose of keeping the vision for America alive and those of us who are members of that remnant must be willing to give our all to any who are willing to join the battle.

  The task before us is that of restoring America to her place on the world stage as a beacon of light and a land of opportunity for all who long for the liberty and freedom to succeed or to fail!

 I said at the beginning that I hoped the scar from the self-inflicted wound would remain evident for centuries. I say this because a scar is a reminder to all who see it of the turmoil that had befallen us and gives opportunity to tell the history of our fall and rise from near destruction. The more gruesome the scar is, the more likely the choices made that caused it will be avoided. If we do not resist the work God is about to do in America we will be the Joshua’s and Caleb’s, and though we may not see the work completed in this life we will receive the most incredible reward anyone could hope for as we hear the words “Well done my faithful servant” from the one who birthed this land. I believe with all that is in me that SAVING AMERICA is a very high priority for the Lord and I am humbled to be able to play even this small role in His Divine plan.
