You Can Use Your Vote to Combat Evil!

2

I’m not going to mince words this week. As Christians, it’s our civic duty, obligation, right, and responsibility to vote for candidates that reflect our values. We may not like how they look. They certainly won’t be perfect, but no one is perfect except Jesus.

However, today we have politicians running our country whose policies are immoral, irrational, and evil. Their agenda is to destroy our American democracy and rebuild it as a Marxist/Communist secular country where the government controls everything and the people obey or face the consequences.

This midterm election might actually be the only way we can salvage our free country and I’m not the only one who thinks that.

Of course, you pray before you vote, do your research, and consider what has happened to our country in less than two years since the Democrats took control of the Senate, Congress, and White House. On day one of Biden’s presidency, he signed a stack of executive orders to undo and obliterate our civil liberties, freedoms, and destroy the great American way of life. Here are just a few of the ensuing dire consequences of that election!

  • The National School Board and teacher’s union kept our schools closed
  • Vaccine mandates or lose your job!
  • Transgenderism forced into schools, sports, military, and jobs
  • Skyrocketing unprecedented inflation and recession
  • Energy production halted when we were energy dependent and still have plenty of natural fuel to support not only our country but could help others
  • Gas prices doubling and tripling with no relief in sight
  • Retirement funds disappearing
  • Equity replaces equality
  • “Inclusion” includes immorality and unjustness
  • Partisan two-tiered biased justice system favoring Democrats
  • Crime terrorizing our streets
  • Defund the police and the military
  • Millions of illegals flood our boarders unchecked and unvetted
  • Drugs flowing into every state from open border drug cartels
  • Sex trafficking of women, men, and young children coming across the border
  • Critical Race Theory and racism taught in schools, which the last president banned
  • Sex and perverted explicit pornographic sex taught in school as young as kindergarten
  • Men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms. Again, banned by Trump
  • “Misgendering” can cost your job or get you expelled from school
  • Denial of scientific biological sexes: male and female
  • Concerned parents targeted as terrorists
  • Funded drag queens in Ecuador with a $20,000 grant from our tax money to brainwash minors with the transgender ideology
  • Threat of a nuclear war and millions spent in the Ukrainian/Russia war
  • Despicable retreat from Afghanistan with tragic loss of eleven military lives and numbers injured
  • Disastrous and dangerous foreign policy
  • 89,000 new armed IRS agents added to an already overstaffed agency
  • Use of the justice department and FBI to attack political adversaries. I hesitate to even call it a justice system.
  • War on women (unable to define) and motherhood
  • Promoting the murder of babies
  • Genital mutilation, castration, mastectomies, hysterectomies, and puberty blockers of young children with some states allowing without parental consent
  • Worship of the earth and not the Creator of earth, God.

I’m crying as I make this list. Regardless of what you think of the former Republican President’s personality, none of this happened or would’ve happened during his watch. Even though he was under constant attack from the left, he took measures to prevent, curtail, or stop every item on the list. These are all Democrat despicable policies inflicted on our country in less than two years!

Many are afraid to speak out against the atrocities happening under the current Democrat led administration that tries to silence any opposition with intimidation and threats. But when you vote, it’s just between you and the paper you’re voting on. No one can entice you or force you to vote against your will, conscience, or beliefs.

Please Take the Time to Research Before You Vote!

I’ve covered many of the issues I listed above in previous blogs. I do my research before I write and I’m hoping when I give you a link to follow, you go to it to substantiate what I’m saying. If we can take back the House and the Senate for now, with the Lord’s help, we can put a halt to future destruction under the current administration, especially of our children.

Controlling our children is the goal of Marxism/Communism, which no one denies the Democrat party has become. We are no longer a country with two different political parties; we’re literally a country trying to survive a Communist attack on our republic. There’s such an emphasis now on the Democrats trying to prevent parental rights because if they can control the children, they control the next generation coming into power in our beloved country.

Look at every Communist takeover and it starts with indoctrination of the children. It’s happening right now in the schools with Critical Race Theory and sexualizing young children. Soon Christian schools will not receive accreditation if they don’t agree to comply with the demands of the National School Board, which donates to the Democrat party. This government run organization and the teacher’s union have overtly controlled schools to favor the liberal ideology.

Let’s Just Look at a Couple Items on the List: The Transgender Degradation of Women and Exploitation of Children

In Senator Ted Cruz’s new book, Justice Corrupted: How the Left Weaponized Our Legal System, he opens with the story of the father who went to a schoolboard meeting to protest his daughter being raped in the girl’s bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt. That father was jailed. The school first denied it happened, then admitted it and transferred the boy in a skirt to another school where he raped another girl. Cruz also discusses how the justice department has been weaponized, corrupted, and politicized.

A brave 14 year-old freshman volleyball player in Vermont, Blake Allen, and her father appeared on Tucker Carlson tonight with their attorney to tell their story of Blake being uncomfortable when a boy identifying as a girl was allowed in their school locker room. She left and complained to the school authorities who suspended her for 5 days because she wouldn’t write an apology to the boy! Her father was fired from his job as soccer coach at the same school because he wrote about it on social media and “misgendered” the boy impersonating a girl.

A school in North Carolina announced it would forfeit all games against teams allowing “transgender” players after one of their own players was injured in the head by a spike from a boy player on the other “girls” team. Here’s a short quote from this article “In June, the Biden administration proposed an updated rule for the enforcement of Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational settings. The proposed regulation would expand the definition of sex to include gender identity and sexual orientation, raising concerns that schools would be required to allow transgender athletes to compete as women.”

Transgender is a fabricated term for a genetic boy with a fetish or genuine mental gender dysphoria disorder dressing or simply “identifying” as a girl and demanding acceptance that he’s a girl/woman! Which, Biden fully supports since he spent time in the oval office with a grown man, Dylan Mulvaney, who identifies as a young girl and obviously has a fetish for dressing up and pretending he’s a girl. With all that’s going on in our world, Biden doesn’t have time to speak with reporters, but he sits with this man dressed like a girl who makes tic toc videos demeaning women while he’s portraying to be one.

It’s disgusting! But Biden actually tells this man that it’s immoral to not affirm his audacious behavior or to not allow small children, who for a moment might wonder what it’s like to be the other gender, to be surgically and medically mutilated/castrated for life. Tucker Carlson talks about this Biden interview with Riley Gains who lost her swimming championship title to a boy going by the name of Lia Thomas but is still genetically and physically a boy! Riley is Co-chair of Nine Pac supporting politicians who will defend Title IX allowing only biological women to compete against each other in sports!

Have you noticed it’s the males who are primarily trying to invade the true female gender? How often do you hear of a woman pretending to be a man and invading men’s space?

These men obviously have issues and need mental and spiritual help not affirmation in hurting women and misguiding children.

Which leads me to two more issues I want to address.

Last week, the Lord led me to write a blog Woke is Just a Euphemism for Demonic. I want you to read two articles that the Lord revealed to me why He’s asking me to call out Satan by name. You cannot deny any longer that what’s happening on the left is satanic and demonic.

God is giving us a chance to fight against Satan with our vote, but it demands courage, bravery, and trust to support journalists, politicians, candidates, and citizens who are fighting too!

If you thought I was overemphasizing the Drag movement last week, please read Christopher Rufo’s article below. There are schools allowing Drag shows to take place in the classrooms and not letting parents know or opt out their children from the debauchery. If you think Drag queen story hours and brunches are innocent family friendly, you’re deceived.

The history and purpose is to sexualize and normalize pedophilia and they’ve been given full reign in the school system under this liberal administration. This is a slow slide into the tolerance of adults having sex with little children. When’s the last time you heard anyone arrested because they had child porn on their computer? Now porn is being introduced into schools as “tolerant” “inclusive” “good education” and entertainment for children.

Christopher F. Rufo is a journalist who has been drawing attention to the sexualization of children. In his article below, he outlines the history and purpose of the new Drag Queen phenomena, which has received no pushback from this administration but is instead included as acceptable by the Democrat controlled National School Board. I hope you’ll read the whole article, here’s a snippet.

Drag Queen Story Hour’s radical origins and the subversive sexualization of our kids: Advocates describe Drag Queen Story Hour as family-friendly but an underlying and serious message about childhood sexuality is being conveyed. Rufo explains:

“Having begun with voluntary programs at public libraries, Drag Queen Story Hour has been remarkably successful, sparking a trend of state-subsidized drag readings, dances, and performances across the country. Advocates of Drag Queen Story Hour might reply that these are outlier cases and that many of the child-oriented events feature drag queens reading books and talking about gender, not engaging in sexualized performances.”

“But the spirit of drag is predicated on the transgressive sexual element, the ideology of queer theory, and the goal of elevating those at the bottom of the sexual hierarchy—including pedophiles—which cannot be erased by switching the context and softening the language.”

“When parents, voters, and political leaders understand the true nature of Drag Queen Story Hour and the ideology that drives it, they will work quickly to restore the limits that have been temporarily—and recklessly—abandoned. They will draw a bright line between adult sexuality and childhood innocence and send the perversions of queer theory back to the margins, where they belong.”

We need to vote the liberal progressive Democrats out of office to protect our children in so many ways and this is just another one on the list. The current administration will not draw a line because they’re promoting it under the elusive “inclusion” ideology. Inclusion should never include evil perversion, which the liberals refuse to denounce.

This next story should appall you if nothing else does!

Andrew Mark Miller wrote an article titled: Left-wing activists harass conservative reading Bible, steal book and rip it up, protester eats pages | Fox News Leftist protesters were spotted outside a speaking event by a conservative commentator surrounding and shouting down a man reading Bible passages before they snatched the Bible, ripped it up, and one protester ate the pages!

In the video posted by Young America’s Foundation earlier this week, a man reading Bible passages on a loudspeaker outside a screening of conservative commentator Matt Walsh’s “What is a Woman?” documentary in Madison, Wisconsin was accosted by screaming leftist protesters. One of the protesters can be seen banging on a can next to the Christian man’s face while another blared a siren next to him.

“The leftists’ attempts to silence a student reading the Bible demonstrate their utter contempt for the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded,” Nick Baker, a spokesperson for Young America’s Foundation, told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“Well, you can be on the side that eats the Bible and castrates children, or you can be on literally any side but that one,” [Matt] Walsh posted on Twitter along with the video. “Your choice, America.”

Walsh also posted a photo of a notice posted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison warning students of the event and calling it “harmful towards our trans community.” The protesters also reportedly vandalized multiple buildings on campus including a veteran’s memorial.

Even a transgender activist, Buck Angel, a “transsexual man,” believes the transgender movement has “gone too far” by encouraging minors to use drugs and surgery to transition to the opposite sex. In an article and interview with Gabrielle Reyes of Fox News, Buck admitted, “We do show that there is a lot of trauma not being addressed before going to medical and why we are having a large population of detransitioners that the transgender community is trying to hide,” Angel said. Angel also said he “does not believe children should medical transition.”

 “Mental health needs to be the priority,” he continued. “Not affirmation therapy but actual therapy.” “We do not have enough research to show that this will alleviate the gender dysphoria,” he told Fox News.

The article described, “Gender dysphoria is a “marked incongruence” between a person’s “experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birth,” as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. https://www.foxnews.com/us/transsexual-activist-criticizes-trans-movement-accelerating-far-fast

We’re not “assigned a gender at birth.” We are the gender at birth that God created us as either a baby boy or girl. Whoever wrote that definition of gender dysphoria in the manual needs some mental and spiritual help themselves.

Have You Heard Enough?

I could go on, but I want to close with three Republican Conservative candidates who aren’t afraid to say they’re Christians and God is who they depend on and work for, along with serving the American people. I hope and pray you have candidates like this running in your state and local elections and you do your American duty to defend our country and our children by voting in this election. We have friends who went three hours out of their way to be sure they voted before they took a road trip out of Idaho.

Christians let’s do this! Let’s turn our beloved America back to God! Pray, Vote, and Keep Praying. “For the Christian, voting is more than a privilege. It is a responsibility before God . . . we are to be stewards over all the gifts God has given us–including the right to vote.” Hal Lindsey

Let’s make this election such a landslide for good against evil that no amount of cheating from the left could alter the outcome. Vote like your life and the life of your family depends on it, because it does!

You Must Know and Speak the Truth to Remain Free

7

I was shocked last week when a friend posted on Facebook about the deadly Fentanyl crisis in our country. That wasn’t the shocking part because if you listen to FOX news or NEWSMAX or anything besides mainstream media, you hear every night how Fentanyl is flowing over our open borders and killing 300 people every day, especially children. No that wasn’t a surprise to me because I’m aware of the destruction of our country from the Left’s open borders. A crisis they NEVER talk about, in fact the VP tries to tell you the border is secure! Secure for the cartels maybe.

No, the shock was the first comment under my friend’s post: “What is fentanyl?”

How could you live in America and not know about fentanyl? Because mainstream media doesn’t talk about the drug crisis or the horrific deaths, rapes, and child abuse happening at the out-of-control open border. The ONLY newscaster at the border reporting what’s really happening there is FOX News reporter Bill Melugin. And he’s increasingly “irritating the White House” because he provides video evidence contrary to their narrative that the border is secure and everything is under control. Naught!

Now, this is not a blog sponsoring FOX, but it is a blog to draw attention to the news that is NOT reported and the continual lies told by the White House and mainstream media. There’s a looming threat to our country and many people are oblivious, like the woman commenting on my friend’s post. FOX along with NEWSMAX are reporting the raw undeniable evidence that we’re being lied to and deceived by this administration.

Fentanyl is now coming across the border looking like candy and laced into other street drugs and even food and drinks and it is deadly! Just today in church, I spoke with a father who lost his son to fentanyl. When have you EVER heard Biden or Harris even mention this lethal threat?! NEVER! Some progressive DA’s aren’t even arresting drug dealers!

I follow iVoterGuide, which is a Conservative Christian nonprofit organization researching who we should vote for in our elections. They provide information on candidates who have a record of championing Christian Conservative values. iVoterGuide is a division of AFA (American Family Association) which I also follow. I received an email last week from iVoterGuide that is so valuable I want to share parts of it with you. I know that not everyone follows links that I post, so I’m going to write below some of the invaluable points in their email with the subject line “Decoding the Left’s Lies.”

I’m always telling my husband how important words are in communication. If he says something is “up” I look up, but he might just mean it’s on top of something and not in the sky where I’m looking up. Sometimes what he describes as the bottom of something is what I think is the top. We have this conversation often. We’re not trying to deceive each other; we just have different perspectives.

Decoding the Left’s Lies

 But the left and the media are trying to deceive us. They have a diabolical plan to mislead and lie via misinformation, changing the definition of words, and creating new terms then making them into law. That’s what Debbie Wuthnow, President of IVoterGuide, shares in the email I present parts of to you here. The following is from Debbie’s email.

Words can be used to clarify. Words can also be used to “spin” or distort.

Part of iVoterGuide’s mission is to clarify issues when politicians try to distort them. This election year, our team is working overtime to “break the code words” politicians use to try to fool Judeo-Christian voters.

We’ve seen just this year how easily words can be abused. The White House, along with their liberal allies in the media, literally tried to redefine the word “recession” to avoid accountability for our economic freefall.

Here are a few examples of the “code words” we are fighting against that twist the truth and deceive voters into voting AGAINST their own beliefs and values:

CODE: “Reproductive healthcare” or “Reproductive access”

TRANSLATION: Abortion of unborn human beings, often without restriction for all nine months of pregnancy and often funded with taxpayer dollars. This also often means taxpayer funding of contraception in public schools, college campuses, and even workplaces.

In examining thousands of candidates across the country, we typically found the above code used by wishy-washy politicians trying to appease both sides when they address legislative or party platform language on the sanctity of life.

Make no mistake: Politicians using this code are almost never truly pro-life.

CODE: “Gender-affirming care”

TRANSLATION: Radical and dangerous sex-change procedures, including artificial hormone injection and surgically re-creating reproductive organs—which often means genital mutilation. Such procedures are increasingly being pushed on minors, sometimes as early as middle and elementary school.

Studies show that far from curing problems, these procedures often magnify the problems of those struggling with their sexuality during adolescence (the suicide rate is actually higher post-procedure than prior to the procedure).

Voters must ensure the candidates they vote for are not being fooled by this deeply harmful rhetoric—or worse, covertly supporting it.

CODE: “Expand voting rights”

TRANSLATION: Enable ineligible voters to vote. This deliberately makes election fraud difficult to detect, difficult to investigate, and difficult to prosecute effectively.

The following are some examples of this dangerous code in action: stopping the cleaning up of voter rolls, expanding automatic voter registration and early voting, introducing same-day voter registration, allowing online voter registration and absentee ballot requests, letting voters opt-in to automatic mail-in ballots, pre-registration of minors as young as 16, not requiring any official photo ID to vote, and more.

As you’ll notice, all of these proposals disproportionately benefit the Left, since they would have a greater impact in highly concentrated urban areas which always vote more liberal and many of these measures would also incentivize inexperienced, low-information voters who are more likely influenced by the mainstream media.

We must elect leaders who will recognize the threat and the lie of “expanding voter rights” and stand up to those proposing this nonsense.

CODE: “Social Emotional Learning (SEL)” or “Whole-child education”

TRANSLATION: Harmful indoctrination based on feelings rather than facts. Instead of teaching schoolchildren tried-and-true facts regarding history, science, math, etc., this new methodology focuses on teaching kids to “get in touch with your senses and your feelings,” consider that “your truth may be different from the truth of others,” and “explore your identity.”

This often manifests itself as Critical Race Theory (CRT), graphic sex-ed literature taught as young as elementary school, teachers asking students about their “gender identity” and picking out “preferred pronouns,” and radical events like “drag queen story hour” (Note from Janet: this actually happened in Boise the Capitol of Idaho with a “drag kids show” on 9/11! I wrote about it in my blog Who is the Real Threat to the Soul of Our Nation)!

CODE: “_____ justice” (Environmental, economic, racial, social, etc.)

TRANSLATION: Forced redistribution of wealth, property, and income from “oppressor” groups to favored “oppressed” groups, usually funded by higher taxes on the oppressor groups.

Many candidates using the above code words support policies or platforms that amount to socialism. These terms are usually just an excuse to offer handouts in an attempt to earn minority votes, appease the woke mob and “politically correct” police, cater to climate change alarmists, and generally sow division.

Voters must be aware of the spineless politicians willing to play these games so they can vote for candidates who will not cave to the pressure.

You Can Be a Codebreaker

When you support iVoterGuide, you support our team of expert researchers working hard to decode where candidates stand on crucial issues for conservative voters in races across the nation. And right now, we are in the middle of our 5 Million Movement—our initiative to get this vital research into the hands of five million faith-based voters by Election Day, November 8.

As I’m sure you’ve read, numerous races are going down to the wire. And many are predicting a “red wave,” but it will not happen by itself—especially with the Left doing their best to push back.

Faith-based voters MUST get out and vote in record numbers—and they MUST be properly equipped to vote for the right candidates!

iVoterGuide has proven to be the key difference maker in hundreds of races up and down the ballot across the nation for years, and we are working to make 2022 the biggest year yet!

Often I’m described as “bold and courageous” and my response is always, “Shouldn’t every Christian be?!” This is not the time to be uninformed and unwilling to speak up. I wrote an entire book for women on Everyday Brave: Living Courageously as a Woman of Faith and in that book, I highlight numerous women from the Old and New Testament who did incredibly courageous actions against incredible hardships, as well as the stories of modern-day brave women. Why do we in the 21st Century think we should be timid and fearful as believers?

Can I be so bold to say that if our country goes down in flames, it will be because the church stayed silent and let it happen. Exactly what happened in Germany with Hitler. We’re better than that. Yes, we pray, but we are also the Lord’s hands and feet while we still have breath and if we care about the world we’re leaving to our children and grandchildren, we will get involved. There are good people who are willing to serve, we just need to do our best to be sure they get elected and bring our country back from the brink of toppling and instill stability into this nation we love. We need to make America godly again!

The wicked run away when no one is chasing them,
    but the godly are as bold as lions.

2 When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.
    But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability. Pr. 28:1-2

Are They Coming for You Next?

8

When I was writing last week’s blog regarding the left labeling Conservative Patriotic Christians as “Christian Nationalists,” They Called Jesus and His Followers Names Too, the thought entered my mind that this was a setup to dissuade and intimidate support of President Trump should he plan on running again in 2024 or frankly any Republican candidate. I didn’t include that thought in the post to not politicize it and I know there are probably readers who don’t favor President Trump. But the unprecedented raid on his home by the Justice Department and FBI, confirmed my assertions.

Whatever you think of President Trump, like him or not, the invasive raid, never before assailed against a former President in history, raises many questions about the overreach and politicization of the Justice Department and the FBI. These are not unfounded concerns with what we saw take place with the FBI and DOJ lying and falsifying documents in Russiagate along with the theatrical raids on Trump’s associates. Even the head of Project Veritas, journalist James O’Keefe, was unjustly raided by the FBI looking for the Biden family’s lost diary!

In case you didn’t know, James O’Keefe established Project Veritas in 2011 as a non-profit journalism enterprise to continue his undercover reporting work. Today, Project Veritas investigates and exposes corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions to achieve a more ethical and transparent society. Overview | Project Veritas

Then last Friday, House Democrats passed an Orwellian $739 billion climate change, tax hike, and healthcare bill. A bill that will fund the IRS with 80 billion more taxpayer dollars and double the agency by adding 87,000 new IRS armed and willing to use lethal force agents!! Under the Obama Administration, the IRS was caught targeting Conservatives and nonprofits. What will happen this time and why do they need an arsenal of guns and agents willing to use them against taxpayers?

Democrats claim that by investing in the Internal Revenue Service they can save an additional $124 billion. Where do you think they’re going to get that money? From hardworking American citizens. They’ve made no excuses that their plan to fund this bill and raise the additional $124 million is with higher taxes and finding something you overlooked in filing your taxes. As some have joked: They’ll look for the change in your couch! But it’s not funny.

Of that $750 billion, $369 billion is slated to go to climate change subsidies to try to help reach Biden’s goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030. A further $64 billion will go to expanding ObamaCare subsidies. The rest of the new revenue, more than $300 billion, they claim will go to paying down the deficit they’ve inflated.

So whether or not you agree with their Green New Deal, you’re going to pay for it by force.

We Are A Nation in Trouble!

People need to know the Lord. Many are afraid and justly concerned that the safe and secure America we’ve enjoyed in the past is systematically being destroyed. Now, more than ever, we need to remember and share with everyone we know that our hope and security comes from Jesus Christ not politicians or the government that’s currently shredding our Constitution.

Even though they can make our earthly life miserable, God is still who we trust with our eternal life.

 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Gen. 50:20 NKJV

My husband heard that the Rev. Franklin Graham, the president of Samaritan’s Purse, was on Eric Bolling’s Newsmax show on Thursday, August 11 and I’m so glad we watched it. Franklin admitted that he too is fearful of what this nefarious government is capable of doing to anyone who disagrees with them, just like in Communist countries. But praise God Christians know the Lord as our Savior and He will use all of this for good. And yes, He will use us to do His good work.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Eph. 2:10 NLT

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6

I noticed that Rev. Graham, who usually appears in interviews smiling and relaxed, this time was unusually serious and somber as he told Bolling that after recent events the United States is entering a “very frightening time” and needs to find God again.

By recent events, Graham was referring to the FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and the then proposed congressional Democrats doubling the IRS’ staff. Graham shared his organization’s experience with the Obama Administration IRS.

”During the Obama administration, because I was not supportive of their policies, we got audited at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association … the next day Samaritan’s Purse was notified, and we were audited.”

”We have nothing to hide but they will use the IRS to go after people that don’t support their agenda,” he continued. ”And I think you see when they’re going to be armed and things like this. This is very frightening — and we’re really going to turn into what we saw in Communist countries. Very Very frightening!”

That was hard to hear and a bit shocking that Franklin Graham was fearful watching this administration using Communist-style tactics against their political enemies and the very people they are charged to govern fairly regardless of party affiliation.

Next, Graham did what he always takes the opportunity to do; he turned the conversation to God. “Our only hope for this nation is God, and we as a nation we’ve turned our back on God. We’ve left Him behind. We support abortion and same sex marriage. These are things that are against God’s standards and God’s laws. We celebrate sin instead of being ashamed of sin . . . our politicians are celebrating sin.”

Then he shared with the viewers the saving grace of Jesus Christ and the Gospel. His solutions to solving the current crises are for Americans to stop celebrating sins such as abortion and same-sex marriage and turn back to God so as not to be under God’s judgment.

“We need to be repentant and turn from those sins and ask for God’s forgiveness and put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, His Son who died for our sins on the cross and God raised to life. And if we’re willing to repent from our sins and put our faith in Jesus Christ, God will forgive our sins,” he proclaimed.

”But we as a nation are in trouble, and we’re getting probably what we deserve.” Rev. Graham to Newsmax: US in Trouble After Trump Search, Proposed IRS Growth | Newsmax.com

God Is Our Only Hope and Refuge and He’s Coming for You!

I find it interesting that Biden put out a statement Saturday after the brutal stabbing of author Salman Rushdie: “Salman Rushdie—with his insight into humanity with his unmatched sense for story, with his refusal to be intimidated or silenced—stands for essential, universal ideals. Truth. Courage. Resilience. The ability to share ideas without fear. These are the building blocks of any free and open society. And today, we reaffirm our commitment to those deeply American values in solidarity with Rushdie and all those who stand for freedom of expression,” he added.

It’s hard to read those words attributed to Biden and believe him. The hypocrisy of that statement is deafening! Yes, that is what America used to stand for, yet Biden’s administration has already tried to enforce a federal Ministry of Truth, with a Truth Czar who would determine misinformation and squelch freedom of expression. Censor what the government didn’t consider “truth,” which Twitter and Facebook already does. They’ve created a culture where people are canceled, fired, or kicked out of school if they don’t agree with the woke trajectory that’s sending America into the abyss.

 A deep, spiritual sickness is strangling the soul of our nation. Our culture, and far too many of our institutions, have not only turned away from God like Franklin Graham lamented, but they’re becoming actively hostile to Him.

Lt. Col. Allen West wrote: “The Founders of this nation didn’t just create America because they thought it would be cool. Most believed they were fulfilling their duty to God, and that America was in many ways the result of the intervention of Divine Providence. We must continue that fight today, because if we allow America’s light to go out the entire world will be swallowed up by evil.”

Don’t let Ezekial 22:30 be true of us: “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”

Let God find us faithfully standing in the gap through prayer, petition, action, and our voice.

We soon will have an opportunity to change the direction of our country with our vote, but only God can spiritually deliver people with eyes that refuse to see and ears that refuse to hear. So, we pray for those blinded by the evil one, whose ears are tickled by lies. When we look at our own testimonies, and that of the apostle Paul who was killing Christians before his encounter with God, we know that God can and will change lives, even the life of a country.

As much as we should encourage people to get out and vote this November, we need to remember that our focus as Christians is to draw others to Christ in all circumstances. I always appreciate that Franklin Graham, like his father Rev. Billy Graham, never misses an opportunity to share the Gospel, because regardless of the curse our nation is bringing on itself, our job is to be sure that everyone we know is saved.

At any moment, God could say enough chances. There are many who feel God’s not done with America yet, but we should still feel urgency to be sure our family and friends know Jesus as their personal Savior.

You and I are going to encounter people who are fearful of what’s happening to our nation. Maybe that’s you. Fear seems to have been the dominating emotion since Covid and political corruption has touched every life. But God wants Jesus to touch every life, even those politicians who seem to be going against everything godly!

None of us can predict the future for America, or how this will personally affect us, but if you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, you know who holds your future. He’s got it all figured out and we’re each part of His plan to draw others to the hope found in a relationship with Jesus, while there’s still time.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jer. 29:11 NKJV

It’s God who’s coming for you and me! As Jesus told his disciples and He says to His disciples today . . .

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Amen!

No blog next Monday, 8/22 but I should be back on 8/29, the Lord willing. Also, we’ve been having trouble with the email distribution which is why you’ve seen the past few weeks the blog coming maybe on a different day or time, but it’s always on my website by 4:00 AM, MT on Monday morning. I appreciate all you faithful readers!

It’s Not Easy Being Me, but I’m So Glad God Chose Me to Be About His Work!

5

If you follow me regularly, you know I blog every Monday Morning, unless I announce I’m taking some time off. If you’ve signed up to have the blog come into your email, it’s there waiting for you when you turn on your computer, IPad, or phone on Monday mornings. But not last Monday!

I did everything as usual to post the blog, but it didn’t transfer from WordPress to Mail Chimp, which sends it out to my email list?! We put out an SOS to my sweet angel web designer, who has since retired from designing but graciously comes to our rescue when we encounter a problem we can’t troubleshoot. But Holly had COVID and was in that stage where you can’t think clearly and have no energy, but she said she would try to help us when she felt better.

Let me back up to the wee hours of the morning that the blog was supposed to post to email. I always program the blog to post on WordPress at 3:30 AM, and then it goes to Mail Chimp at 4:00 AM and out to all who receive it by email. At exactly 3:30 AM, I awoke from a sound sleep and immediately felt a sense of oppression and anxiety. I knew it was coming from Satan, but I couldn’t pray away the heaviness. I also knew, and almost expected, retaliation from Satan because the title of the blog was We’re in a War of Words with the Devil and I hit him hard!

My apprehension was confirmed when I saw that the blog didn’t go out to email and there was nothing my husband or I could do about it. I want to clarify I wasn’t canceled because it posted to my website, Facebook, and Twitter. No, this was something else. A sinister force trying to show me he thought he was in charge . . . Satan.

Even though I know Jesus who lives in me is greater than he that is in the world, I couldn’t shake the oppression all day Monday that I had felt during those early morning hours. 4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. 1 John 4:4 NLT

I was confident that I would eventually be victorious, yet still I began to question if it was time to stop blogging? Was anyone being helped by my words? Was I just preaching to the choir who already knows everything I’m writing about? Are any lives being changed by me spending my weekends researching and writing blogs? And on it went!

I know you’ve been where I was. Maybe you’re there now. Perhaps you thought I’ve never had those moments of doubt or despair, but I do just like you. I’ve learned that I just need to address them head on with something you’ve heard me write and speak about many times, the armor of God found in Ephesians 6:10-18. I prayerfully put on my spiritual armor every morning, and I’ve often commented I would probably be dead by now if I didn’t! I take it that seriously. Our pastor just finished a series on the armor of God, and he discussed a separate piece of armor each Sunday. I appreciated that he gave it the same significance in our Christian life as Dave and I do.

So suited up in my Spiritual Armor, I did just what the Scripture says, I took a stand against the enemy, prayed, and did everything I could to network the blog on social media. People were finding it, reading, and commenting on the blog at my website.

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. Eph. 6:10-12, 18 NLT

I knew I had hit the enemy’s vulnerable weak spot with my David-like stone, a blog, and I wouldn’t be shaken. I had actually written in the blog that I wouldn’t succumb to the cancel culture tyranny, and I certainly wasn’t going to let Satan sideline me.

On Friday, Holly started feeling better and within 10 minutes had the blog emailed out to all of you who receive it by email. Holly discovered that a “pause” had been placed on the blog in Mail Chimp?! Neither Dave or I had even been in Mail Chimp! When I asked Holly how that could’ve happened, her response was “I have no idea, but I suspect it’s the enemy!” Meaning you know who, the devil.

Yes, the devil is real. I try to never ever forget that but sometimes I guess the Lord thinks I need a reminder.

I’ve had so many encouraging comments and emails about the sidetracked blog. Many came from strong Christians like Kathy telling me how she needed the reminder of how the culture is trying to change the meaning of words through intimidation. Kathy wrote, “We absolutely agree with your assessment and perspective. A year ago, I knew nothing about all of this. I’m sure there are still many who are uninformed like I was, and you are helping to enlighten.” The Lord used Kathy’s comment in particular to remind me that as He opens my eyes, I’m opening the eyes of fellow believers, as well as those who might be seeking, uninformed, or confused.

Even as I was struggling to get the blog out that unveiled the satanic Marxist manipulation of our language, the Biden administration was trying to do another word churn to redefine recession to cover up their sheer incompetence. As if they could gaslight all of us who are living through this inflation/recession nightmare!

An article reviewing this “word churning” referenced a Washington Post columnist Megan McCardle. Considering the Washington Post is left leaning, she hit the target! “The Biden administration has spent a lot of energy trying to manage perceptions of the economy,” the columnist observed. As an example, she reminded readers, “Remember when inflation was going to be ‘temporary?'”

 “You can’t message people out of thinking their economic circumstances have gotten worse — or out of worrying that this portends ill for the future.” She concluded, “So all the spin efforts are likely to come to naught.” The columnist added “it’s emblematic of a dangerous tendency on the left to believe they can control reality by controlling the words we use to describe it.” She then elaborated on “the left’s full-time obsession” with semantics. “It is the left that has put us on a never-ending euphemism treadmill, transforming ‘illegal alien’ into ‘illegal immigrant’ and therefrom to ‘undocumented worker’ and so on,” McArdle cited as one example.

McArdle wrapped up the column by offering this advice to Democrats, “Sure, you can’t really blame the Biden administration for trying to put a positive spin on things. But the rest of us — and Democrats especially — would be better off if the left spent less time looking for better phrasing and more time finding solutions.” Recession ‘word churn’ from Democrats is not working, warns Washington Post columnist | Fox News

Ya think?! They can’t fool us who are living through the mayhem and crises created by this administration.

The Christian Life is A Wild Adventure Today!

While I said in the title of this blog that it’s hard being me, and sometimes it is, I’m so glad to be a servant for Christ devoting my life to ministry and wherever the Lord leads for the time He’s given me here on earth.

I, like many of you, feel the Lord is using the current worldly turmoil to sift out who will succumb and submit to the enemy’s tactics and who will stand against the attack on the church and Christians. We each have a God-given purpose and God has a plan for our life. It’s not to cower in fear and trepidation, but to stand firm with courage and boldness sharing the saving Gospel and exemplifying a life lived intentionally for Christ.

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Rom. 8:28 NLT

We need to encourage each other. What we’re experiencing is nothing new. The early church was always vacillating between revival or riots, and nothing has changed. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, and always, yet Satan has not yet lost his power and he’s trying to use it with a heavy hand against any blinded by his darkness or not firm in their faith. Until his final demise, he’s not going down without a fight.

But as believers, Jesus told us, “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” Matt. 5:14 NLT

We bring light to the darkness if we’re willing to be aware and awake (not woke) with a fire burning intensely for God in our spirit. The crises we’ve been in from the pandemic to the current financial catastrophe, the border invasion, and political lunacy has allowed us to see who will stand and do what God calls them to do. Who will not fear man or the enemy? It’s true, that when you stand up for Christ, you’ll probably pay a price, but it seems a minor consequence when you’re doing it for the Lord.

I want to give a shoutout to Christian soccer player Jaelene Daniels who sat out her game because she chose not to wear a “gay pride” jersey. She also turned down an offer to play on the US national team in 2017 because again she refused to wear a pride jersey. This time her team Courage was actually sponsoring a “Pride Festival” before kickoff. Daniels said, “I remain committed to my faith and my desire for people to know that my love for them isn’t based on their belief system or sexuality,” she wrote. ” I pray and firmly believe that my teammates know how much I cherish them, respect them, and love them.”  NWSL player Jaelene Daniels sits out over refusal to wear pride jersey | Fox News [Jaelene is featured in the opening picture]

I love this quote from Eric Metaxas who cautioned that some have been living in a Christian bubble, but “The Lord in his mercy shoves us out to uncomfortable places where you believe, but now you have to live your faith.” Christ puts us in a place where we have to exhibit the kind of faith that shows we really do trust the Lord. Just like Daniels and me, we’re all being shoved into that place right now. Every believer is being tested in a world that’s going against everything we believe. Will we succumb to pressure to conform, or will we stay strong with the Lord’s courage?

 I was shoved into that uncomfortable place twenty-seven years ago when I clearly heard the Lord tell me to “feed my sheep.” I soon learned the call initially meant starting the Woman to Woman Mentoring Ministry, which continues to bless women in churches around the world. Then it was feeding his sheep through my About His Work Ministries writing books and speaking, and today I feel my call is a willingness to discuss the hard issues (even sadly many pastors avoid) to prepare and ready the church for eternity. Yes, ready!

That we would not to be found cowering in fear and compromised faith, but boldly proclaiming my Savior lives and I can face tomorrow because He lives within my heart!

Revelation 21:7-8 NLT is clear that in eternity we won’t be accountable to the media, the trolls, politicians, or those groups that oppose us, we will only be accountable to Jesus. Let’s live our lives today like we believe this to be true!
7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. 8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

We will put into practice Romans 12:21 NLT, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

We will pray to God, Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. Ps. 119:133 NLT

We will remember that, Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly. 6 Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. 7 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. Ps. 112:5-7 NLT

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Tim. 1:7 NLT

God honors those who honor Him! Let none of us be found lacking when the trumpet calls.

10 Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens,

“It has come at last—
    salvation and power
and the Kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Christ.[a]
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters[b]
    has been thrown down to earth—
the one who accuses them
    before our God day and night.
11 And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb
    and by their testimony.
And they did not love their lives so much
    that they were afraid to die.
12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens!
    And you who live in the heavens, rejoice!
But terror will come on the earth and the sea,
    for the devil has come down to you in great anger,
    knowing that he has little time.” Rev. 12:10-12 NLT

6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Phil. 1:6

Only God Decides the End of the World!

7

When a politician, or a former bartender turned politician, or a radical climate zealot predicts “We’re all going to die! We only have so many years to live on earth unless you listen to me,” I think, or sometimes say aloud, “You’re not God. Only God knows the last day of this earth. God will decide when the world ends!”

In 2019, AOC a young freshman progressive liberal Congresswoman with no scientific or climate expertise absurdly proclaimed that climate change would “destroy the planet” by the year 2031 if people fail to address a generational challenge she likened to “Word War II.”

“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?’” Ocasio-Cortez told interviewer Tanehisi Coates at an “MLK Now” event in New York. Ocasio Cortez: ‘The World is Going to End In Twelve Years If We Don’t Address Climate Change’ (yahoo.com)

Failed presidential candidate, Beto O’Rourke echoed her crazy foolishness even though scientists and climate experts quickly debunked her wild baseless prediction. Neither of them ever retracted their hysterical proclamations.

AOC and Bernie Sanders, another socialist climate zealot politician, were proposing the New Green Deal to eliminate cow flatulence and gas fueled cars, while using wind and solar power exclusively, and discontinuing the use of Fossil Fuels, which was making America energy independent for the first time in history.

While AOC appeared arrogantly confident, no one but climate cult activists took her seriously. Others had tried to play God before with always the same outcome: the world did not end! Maybe you remember some of these failed predictions.

1. In 1967, Famine 1975! America’s Decision: Who Will Survive? predicted mass starvation around the developing world due to increasing population. “Today’s crisis can move in only one direction – toward catastrophe,” it warned.

2. In 1970, Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wisc., – often considered the “father of Earth Day” – cited the secretary of the Smithsonian, who “believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

3. Global cooling was once a worry to many. In 1975, British science writer Nigel Calder warned in International Wildlife magazine, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.” University of California at Davis professor Kenneth Watt agreed that present trends would make the world “eleven degrees colder in the year 2000 … about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

4. In 1982, U.N. official Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN Environment Program, warned: “By the turn of the century, [2000] an environmental catastrophe will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust.”

5. In 1989, since the proclaimed climate ice age threat never occurred, climate activists turned to predict the opposite: global warming! A senior U.N. environmental official, Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, said entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. “Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s Dust Bowl conditions to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands.” Instead, U.S. and global farm production rose, and more than 1 billion people worldwide rose out of extreme poverty due to economic growth.

Brown also claimed: “the most conservative scientific estimate [is] that the Earth’s temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years.” But looking back from 2019, the temperature rose about half of a degree Celsius since 1989, according to NASA.

6. Scientist Harrison Brown predicted in Scientific American that lead, zinc, tin, gold and silver deposits would be fully depleted before 1990.

7. In 2006, while promoting his movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore said that humanity had only 10 years left before the world would reach a point of no return.

Then came along AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Beto O’Rourke!

What Is the Motivation of Climate Extremists and Environmental Alarmists?

Revealingly, economist Walter E. Williams says environmentalists have occasionally tipped their hand about what motivates their predictions. “We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have.”

Williams also cites Sen. Timothy Wirth, a Democrat from Colorado, who said in 1988: “We’ve got to … try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong … we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”

Stephen Schneider, a professor of Biology at Stanford University, said to Discover magazine in 1989. “Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”

George Mason University economist Walter E. Williams argues that there are so many apocalyptic predictions because “they have an agenda for more government control … fear about the environment is a way to gain government control,” Williams told Fox News.

“Communism and socialism have lost respectability, so it’s been repackaged as environmentalism,” he added. “It’s like watermelons — green on the outside, red on the inside.”

The above research came from: 10 times ‘experts’ predicted the world would end by now | Fox News

What do all of the above predictions have in common besides they didn’t happen? They were all trying to create government policies to control nature and people. In a naked grab for power, they use unsubstantiated scare tactics to instill fear in those who believe them. Especially vulnerable are adolescents who keep hearing the world is going to end and they’re going to die if we don’t go green!

Just like many have tried to predict the day Jesus will return, end of the world alarmists will always be wrong. Only God knows those days and anyone trying to play God will always fail.

“However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.” Matt. 24:36 NLT

So think about it. When’s the last time you heard AOC declare more of her scaremongering that by now the world will end in nine years? Well, she hasn’t had to do that because when Biden came into office and the Democrats took over Congress and a close majority in the Senate, they’ve been gradually trying to slip their New Green Deal into policies and bills like the current big spending bill that it seems only Joe Manchin can prevent. Manchin’s one vote derailed Biden’s Build Back Better fiasco bill.

Here’s why Manchin hopefully will nix the new bill: “Hopes for a quick deal were cut short, however, this week. Manchin informed Schumer and other members of the Democratic leadership that he could not support including tax hikes and climate change subsidies within the package until the nation’s economic picture became clearer.” 

Pray for Manchin to stand strong against the pressure he’s receiving to cave by Democrats like socialist Bernie Sanders who admits this bill is all about climate change, which he calls “an existential threat to humanity!” Radical ideologs love that word “existential” don’t they!

God is in control of the climate no matter how hard the government tries to convince us that they are in charge. They’re only using climate control as a scare tactic to force you to obey and conform to government control. Communism!

The liberals don’t really care about the future of the planet. They’re bowing to the Environmentalist Extremist Lobby and they’re using Biden to achieve their goals. His first day in office, Biden started the war on fossil fuels, which immediately put people out of work and started raising the price of gas, diesel for trucks, and fertilizer which is a product of petroleum. It’s the environmentalists and the Biden administration causing the food shortages and high prices at the pump and grocery counter!

With the stroke of a pen, Biden took us from complete energy independence from the Trump era to begging from our enemies for energy. The hypocrisy and insanity is that none of these elitists crippling American energy thinks anything of jumping in their private planes and limos.

We’ve seen what’s happened in Europe when they decided to radically implement the environmental extremists’ green agenda. Now Germany is dependent on Russia for energy because they shut down their own energy independence. Biden just flew 7000 miles on Air Force One to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil. Plus transporting all their large gas-guzzling vehicles! What kind of carbon footprint did that create when he could have called Texas, Alaska, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma and told them to start drilling again!

The chaos in Sri Lanka and the Netherlands right now with people starving and rioting in the streets is because they bought the lie DAVOS fed them and with extreme and hasty actions on climate . . . they destroyed their economy, farming dried up, and their country is in turmoil. The same disaster is being repeated throughout Europe and now the USA!

To quote Lance Wallnau, “The environmentalists are crazy. They are more fanatic than Al-Qaeda! Environmentalists are under control of demons and the politicians are under control of them, and they’re trying to now control us.”

What Does God Say About the Environment?

When you open your Bible to Genesis, the first thing you read about is God creating the environment by speaking into existence the earth, moon, sun, oceans, land, trees, plants, fish, birds, animals. Then God said, “It was very good!”

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Gen. 1:1

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Gen. 1:26

Regarding populating the earth, “And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Gen. 1:28

A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Ps. 24:1-2 ESV

The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. Ps. 89:11 ESV

God is in control of the world and all that’s in it. No attempt of environmentalists, politicians, or crazy climate activist alarmists will ever change the climate or when God decides it’s time to end this world and start the new one!

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Col. 1:16-17 ESV

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Rev. 21:1-4 NLT

The climate activists and extremists have created their own cult and religion worshipping the environment they think they can control and not worshipping the Creator who is in control of everything. God told us how to live on the earth He created for us.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Rev. 4:11 ESV

 “You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you. Neh. 9:6 ESV

 “If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Lev. 26:3-4

For “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.” 1 Cor. 10:26

Man didn’t create the world and he can’t end the world! Only God controls the end time for the earth and our earthly life, but we can spend eternity with Him in Paradise if we only believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.

 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[b] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[c]

29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.” Acts 17:24-31

Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. 90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures. Ps. 119:89-90

Don’t Look to Headlines, Look to God!

5

I don’t know about you but when I hear the words “liberal world order,” I bristle. Liberal world order is apparently what globalists, including Biden, meant all along when they spoke of a “new world order” and a “new normal transition” as the Biden Administration tries to destroy America and create their new Marxist version of our country.

When asked about how families are to contend with inflation and the rising cost of gas, Biden Administration official, Brian Deese, reiterated what Biden said on the global stage: “This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm.” What Is the ‘Liberal World Order?’ Biden Adviser’s Remarks Spark Derision (msn.com)

Was that a slip of the tongue or was Deese telling us the devious Biden plan?! By standing firm, he meant suffering with outrageous gas prices as America enriches China, India, and Russia with America’s oil reserves. Watch food outages appear in our own country rich in agricultural potential while prices at the market double and triple.

Who agreed to standing firm for this “New Liberal World Order” being forced on us? I can only think about the prelude to the antichrist who will one day rule over the global liberal world order.

Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, uses the “Great Reset” to refer to the globalist vision for the future. The elite met there again in May to reassert their control over politics worldwide. Liberal World Order: “As Long as it Takes”? (townhall.com)

While the phrase “new world order” is generally used to denote a significant geopolitical change, it can also designate a theory that stipulates a secretive globalist authority is seeking to control the world under a totalitarian regime and strip sovereign countries and its citizens of their freedom.

Is that what the Biden Administration is planning for us? Is that why they’re so afraid of the patriotic populist uprising of citizens who want to keep their national identity, national pride, and freedoms?

Populists don’t want to be melded into other nations where only “the elite”—an amorphous entity made up of a political, economic, cultural, and media establishment that places its own interests along with those of other interest groups such as immigrants, labor unions, and large corporations over the interests of “the people”—would benefit. While citizens become servants as the elite take what we own and force us to follow their new rules.

Is that why so many on the progressive left were denouncing July 4th and the celebration of America’s freedom from England’s tyrannical rule?

The left has already created a society devoid of joy, romance, beauty, and wonder while trying to rob the innocence of our children. Disneyland has stopped welcoming “girls and boys”! The National Education Association is trying to erase mothers. Some have equated our current culture to living in a science fiction novel where evil is rewarded and good is punished. Criminals have all the rights and the innocent lack justice. A drag queen crossdresser and a man who dresses like a woman achieve key positions in the White House administration not because of knowledge or ability but “diversity.”

People can lose their jobs by refusing to use woke pronouns or young children can even be sued in school! Motherhood is demeaned and people scream angrily in the streets for the “right” to kill babies.

2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. Proverbs 29:2

While we are indeed groaning under the rule of incompetent globalists, there is reason to rejoice that righteousness is returning to our country.

Don’t Lose Hope!

We’re seeing a shift from the wicked plans of this administration for America. We’re winning and we’re not going to take it anymore!

We must remember that God is on the side of virtue, morality, and justice! He has NEVER lost a battle. We’re going to have a future heavenly world order here on earth by God’s power and we’re starting to see it now. The left, liberals, progressives, Biden, Pelosi, or a liberal world order doesn’t intimidate God and we shouldn’t be intimidated either. God is exposing all their ill intents, deceits, and criminality.

God is not at the mercy of demons or demonic people. After all God created the world and set it in order!

He [God] lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord’s, and he has set the world in order. 1 Samuel 2:8 NLT

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath: “It will all happen as I have planned. It will be as I have decided. Isaiah 14:24 NLT

May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Matt. 6:10 NLT

We need to start celebrating our wins and keep praying for future victories.

June 24th with the SCOTUS overturn of Roe v Wade was a long-awaited victory that we must never forget or minimize the years of tireless work and prayers of so many faithful saints. Christians everywhere should be praising God and celebrating a win for life.

Coach Kennedy’s Supreme Court win allowing prayer on a school campus was a victory for religious liberty.

Maine parents’ win in the Supreme Court prohibits the exclusion of Christian schools from state funds, vouchers, and resources opening the door for school choice. Again, another win for religious liberty.

SCOTUS struck down a New York handgun-licensing law that required New Yorkers who want to carry a handgun in public to show a special need to defend themselves which violated the 2nd Amendment.

We’re really on a role if you think about it!

We Must Take Our Direction from God and Not the World!

I believe because Biden is trying to change America from a republic to a dictatorship, from independence to dependence, from greatness to a joke, from God-centered to godless, God will exploit this evil for His own gain and glory. If we stay strong in living out our faith, sharing gospel love, praying, and evangelizing, we will see our country turning back to God. We’ve seen the devastation that comes from exploiting evil and people will be ripe for a better way of life and we have just the answer they’re seeking: Jesus Christ!

God is giving us power and marching orders and time to disrupt the liberal global world order. It’s not time for Revelation to be fulfilled yet, but it could be coming soon. People need to get ready; they need the Lord. They may love our country but the question we must ask is, “Do you love Jesus?”

Don’t look to the headlines and be filled with fear and anxiety, look to God and be filled with joy and anticipation.

You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripefor harvest. John 4:35 NLT

Following is a Psalm of King David who was under attack just like our country is under attack from within today. I don’t know who God has planned for our country’s next President, but let’s pray that he is a good and righteous leader who loves the ways of the Lord and God will give us strength, boldness, and courage while we wait.

In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry.
    May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.
2 May he send you help from his sanctuary
    and strengthen you from Jerusalem.[a]
3 May he remember all your gifts
    and look favorably on your burnt offerings. Interlude

4 May he grant your heart’s desires
    and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory
    and raise a victory banner in the name of our God.
May the Lord answer all your prayers.

6 Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king.
    He will answer him from his holy heaven
    and rescue him by his great power.
7 Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
    but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.
8 Those nations will fall down and collapse,
    but we will rise up and stand firm. 9 Give victory to our king, O Lord!
    Answer our cry for help. Psalm 20 NLT 

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT

The 4th of July Is for Americans Who Love Their Country!

6

Did you ever think we would be living in a time when love of country, respect for the American Flag, and standing for the National Anthem would become controversial? Patriotism booed and considered deplorable? Some schools not allowing children to wear patriotic clothing or even starting their school day with the Pledge of Allegiance? Athletes representing the USA abroad disgracing our country and disgracing themselves? Patriots even being labeled as terrorists by the White House?

How did we become a country of ungrateful, unpatriotic citizens? Or are these just the people who yell the loudest and the media covers incessantly with glee?!

How did government officials who seem to hate America and want to destroy our Republic ever get elected?

One of my favorite songs is “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood. I sing along whenever I hear it, especially the lines, “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free!” Yet we just lived through several years where our freedoms were denied and we’re watching the left in power now trying to remove more of our freedoms.

I am proud to be an American, but not proud of all Americans.

It’s strange to hear some saying don’t make the 4th of July political when Independence Day marked the initiation of politics!

Have you watched shows where they do a man-on-the-street interview and ask people if they know facts about our country’s history? I wonder how many could answer questions about the 4th of July and why it’s a national holiday. Here’s a fun quiz.

“What does July 4th stand for?

  • From what country did America fight to win their freedom?
  • Why is July 4th Independence Day?
  • What year was the Declaration of Independence signed and adopted?
  • What is the significance of 13 stripes and 50 stars?
  • Why are our patriotic colors red, white, and blue?
  • What does a national flag represent?
  • Why are caskets of fallen soldiers wrapped in the American flag?
  • Why do we have fireworks on the 4th of July?

How about asking these questions and offering a prize to the one who knows the most answers at your 4th of July gathering.

So many more historical facts are lost in a culture that has forgotten our roots or is trying to rewrite our history. Liberal politicians want to erase our heritage as if it never happened and turn a Country of Freedoms into a country of government socialistic control of the citizens.

Many politicians and legislatures are old enough to remember national history classes. But in their zeal to make America a progressive socialist country, they make it seem like the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness isn’t as valuable as the carrots they dangle of free healthcare, free college, free immigration free… free…which the naïve lap up without realizing nothing is free. They will pay the price with the loss of sovereignty and personal freedoms that so many brave soldiers gave their life to grant each of us. It will also cost us dearly in taxes, independence, and quality of life.

For example, under socialism people would soon discover that “free” healthcare doesn’t mean the best medical treatment you need when you need it. The government decides who, when, and to what extent you’re worthy of the healthcare they deem you can have or even whether they’ll let you have tests to receive a diagnosis. You won’t just pick up the phone and make a doctor’s appointment. You’ll go through legal red tape, waiting lines, and a faceless worker in Washington deciding whether your life is worth healing or saving.

There will always be a cost. For those politicians saying Medicare-for-all, Medicare is not free. There’s a monthly premium, and everyone pays another premium for a supplement plan to pick up what Medicare doesn’t pay. And many of us have a prescription plan we pay extra for, but still have copays for prescriptions. Bernie Sanders admits there will be a 70% increase in taxes, even to the middle class, while he tries to convince you that you’ll have no out-of-pocket. Lies! Lies! Lies!

Since the majority of Democrat run states plan to give illegal immigrants free healthcare, they’ll need to increase state taxes to pay for it at a time when inflation and the price of gas is stressing everyone’s budget. And how good do you think that healthcare is going to be when it’s stretched to the limits with no money to back it and millions of extra people getting it for “free.” That’s why none of the politicians have given specifics how they would achieve this. They’re just pandering with what they think people want to hear and no one is pressing them on details, or they won’t give interviews to those who will.

Some Democrat politicians have said we’re the only major country without socialized healthcare. What Americans need to remember is that the entire point of July 4th is that we didn’t want to be like other nations. We wanted independence! Other nations come to America for medical treatment. People are not migrating to other countries; they want to come to America because we aren’t like other nations. They come to America for a better life.

No other country was founded on Judeo Christian values, where our Presidents still say “God Bless America” in their speeches, although I haven’t heard Biden say that lately. And as hard as the liberal left is trying to move our country away from God, we need to stand in the gap and keep America a blessed nation under God. Where our currency still says, “In God We Trust” not “In the government we trust.”

The 4th of July celebrates the fight for freedom to be different from other countries. A Republic of the people, by the people, and for the people.

As you plan your festivities—parades, BBQs, fireworks, pool parties, trips to the beach, lake, or river—how about starting those events with the Pledge of Allegiance, singing the National Anthem, and a prayer to God who has allowed us to live in this great country. Remind the children at the gatherings why you’re celebrating this holiday. Our generation must pass down to the next generation our country’s history and why we don’t want to repeat past mistakes.

One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. Psalm 145:4

If anyone who refuses to stand for the National Anthem, say the Pledge of Allegiance, respectfully represent the USA abroad and at home, dares to celebrate the 4th of July . . . might I say they’re hypocrites who either have no idea what July 4th represents, or they have no idea what they’re even protesting.

God has allowed each of us to live in the greatest nation in the world. Have you ever woken up in the morning and said thank you God I’m an American? If we take God, freedom, and patriotism out of America, we won’t be able to say that anymore.

Have you noticed how both sides of the political arena are always saying, “The American people want to know.” “The American people deserve to know.” I don’t know about you, but they didn’t ask me.

Let’s tell them what the American people really want and deserve. A country that honors God, honors our flag, honors those who have gone before us and fought for our freedoms, and honors the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America and then we will be blessed!

 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God:

3 Your towns and your fields
    will be blessed.
4 Your children and your crops
    will be blessed.
The offspring of your herds and flocks
    will be blessed.
5 Your fruit baskets and breadboards
    will be blessed.
6 Wherever you go and whatever you do,
    you will be blessed. Deut. 28:2-6 NLT

Have a blessed Independence Day and stay safe!

“God Made the Decision!”

4

14 And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. 15 And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for. 1 John 5:14-15

Each Monday morning in early June, I anxiously searched to see if this would be the Monday SCOTUS released their decision on the Mississippi Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that could overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. But even after the unprecedented leak of Justice Alito’s preliminary opinion leading to the illegal intimidation and protesting at the personal homes of the Constitutionalist Justices, they stayed silent on their final decision. The Democrats in their now typical two-sided justice refused to call out the violence against churches, prolife and pregnancy centers, and even the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh. The biased Attorney General did nothing to stop the illegal invasion of the SCOTUS’ neighborhoods. Yet still SCOTUS did not reveal their decision.

Thursday night, June 23, our church Couples Small Group met at our home for a time of food, fellowship, and prayer. As we prayed, one of our sweet ladies asked me to pray for the upcoming abortion ruling. As I prayed, I felt the Holy Spirit taking over and the words weren’t my words but His. I prayed for God’s will to be done on earth and especially for protection for the justices and their families, but also for them to do their job boldly, bravely, legally. Not to be intimidated or influenced to vote any differently than their conscience and the Constitution guided them.

Then, Friday morning, June 24th it felt like Christmas when I saw the news flash that the Supreme Court had ruled to remove abortion as a federal issue, in essence nullifying and reversing Roe v. Wade which had justified the killing of over 63 million babies for 49 years! Many of us wondered if we would ever see our prayers answered in our lifetime, and yet here it was happening. Just as I had prayed the previous night, Justice Alito wrote,

“We do not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to today’s decision overruling Roe and Casey. And even if we could foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge influence our decision. We can only do our job, which is to interpret the law, apply longstanding principles of stare decisis, and decide this case accordingly. We therefore hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”

Which means, now the battle for the lives of innocent precious babies will be fought in each of the 50 states. Thirteen states already have trigger laws just waiting for this decision to ban abortion and other states are also working on variations of banning, but blue states are digging in with even more liberal abortion rights laws with California becoming a “sanctuary abortion” state for death to unwanted or inconvenient souls!

I hope you’ll take time to read the 10 Key Quotes From Justice Alito’s Opinion Overturning Roe v. Wade!

We all know that this long-awaited decision and righting of a horrific wrong, was the result of Donald J. Trump choosing three Justices that believe in adhering to the Constitution, which sadly seems to only be a conservative position as the liberal dissenting Justices want to bypass the Constitution, ignore it, or make their own rules.

The majority Justices were clear that their decision was not motivated by politics but instead adherence to our ruling document the Constitution. As Justice Alito said, “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

“Our opinion is not based on any view about if and when prenatal life is entitled to any of the rights enjoyed after birth. The dissent, by contrast, would impose on the people a particular theory about when the rights of personhood begin. According to the dissent, the Constitution requires the States to regard a fetus as lacking even the most basic human right—to live—at least until an arbitrary point in a pregnancy has passed. Nothing in the Constitution or in our Nation’s legal traditions authorizes the Court to adopt that ‘theory of life.'”

“Roe found that the Constitution implicitly conferred a right to obtain an abortion, but it failed to ground its decision in text, history, or precedent. It relied on an erroneous historical narrative; it devoted great attention to and presumably relied on matters that have no bearing on the meaning of the Constitution; it disregarded the fundamental difference between the precedents on which it relied and the question before the Court; it concocted an elaborate set of rules, with different restrictions for each trimester of pregnancy, but it did not explain how this veritable code could be teased out of anything in the Constitution, the history of abortion laws, prior precedent, or any other cited source; and its most important rule (that States cannot protect fetal life prior to ‘viability’) was never raised by any Opinion of the Court party and has never been plausibly explained.”

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision,” Alito wrote.

In other words, there is NOTHING written or implied in the Constitution that gives anyone the “right” to abort or kill their unborn child. Killing babies should never be considered a “right,” morally or legally, but that’s what pro-death advocates are demanding, and it will now become their mantra as abortion is decided by the states.

Let’s be clear: overturning Roe saves the lives of human beings! Democrat and Republican babies, liberal and conservative babies, white black brown ALL babies!! This should not be a political issue. It’s actually not even simply a spiritual or strictly “Christian” issue as so many try to label it. It is a fundamental, biological, proven scientific fact that sex between a man and woman is how babies are created and we can now watch and hear them develop.

“Choice” begins with the choice to have sex. Sexual freedom to create life shouldn’t mean legal freedom to kill that inconvenient or unwanted life! Period. Looking at an ultrasound of a squirmy baby forming in the womb, how could anyone vote to approve the barbaric poisoning or dismembering of that child?

The history of the demented shooter in the horrific murder of those precious children in Uvalde was that he carried around bags of dead animals he killed, and that was a clue to his mental instability. Yet abortion clinics can have trash bags outside their clinics of dead human babies they kill and that’s considered normal!

This demonic demented torturous slaughter of children, even up to and after birth, is what the pro-abortion pro-death abortion-on-demand politicians, advocates, activists, and extremists are screaming should be legal. Demented people who intentionally kill pregnant animals can be prosecuted, but many feel that humans should be able to legally kill their own children in their mother’s bellies with no consequences?!

Demonic, deceived, evil is what I see in the face of a President and House Speaker who profess to be “very Catholic,” whatever that means, but vow to find a way to continue infanticide. It’s a sick disease of the soul. They’ve sold their soul for political power, and like everyone, they’ll answer to God for their choices.

I always hope a reporter will ask Pelosi which one of her children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren she wishes she didn’t have when she gives her ludicrous speeches about women needing to eliminate their own children. She often mentions she should know how they feel because she had five children in six years. So is she saying she wishes she could’ve aborted one or more? Instead of using her platform to encourage women that you can still fulfill your dreams, as she did even as a mother of five, she maintains that women must have the “right” to kill their children. Yes, that’s demonic and deranged.

Whether you love or hate President Trump, when asked if he played a role in the SCOTUS decision, he responded, “God made the decision!” I would add that God made the decision to let him be President #45 at a very decisive time in the history of our country. And God made a decision to let the world see the evil festering in the Democrat party when He let Biden steal the election. The country had to see what the left does when they don’t get their evil way and I pray that Christian Conservative Republican candidates will run the board red in November. Elections have consequences and we’re watching the results right now.

Let’s stop complaining and start campaigning for the next generation of Conservative politicians to take back our country for God, family, and patriotism. The  SCOTUS ruling has showed us it can be done! Even if you’re in a so-called “blue state” don’t give up. The battle has just taken on a new dimension.

I share with you parts of a commentary from Dr. Robert Jeffress. Please go to the link at the end to read in its entirety.
“It is a resounding victory for millions of yet-to-be-born children who will now get to live out their God-ordained lives… Those who value life cannot afford to become weary in well-doing. The overturn of Roe is also an affirmation of the right and responsibility of Christians to get involved in the political process. There is only one reason Roe was overturned: in 2016, conservative Christians worked together to elect Donald Trump, and President Trump kept his promise to appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court. Had Hillary Clinton been elected—as some Christians hoped would happen—Roe would still be the law of the land today.

“This week’s historic ruling is a reminder that elections have consequences. Elected leaders determine policies that can influence the moral and spiritual direction of a country. In the 1940s, German Christians (with only a few exceptions) remained silent as Adolf Hitler rose to power and murdered six million Jewish people. Thankfully, Christians in our country have refused to remain silent about the holocaust of unborn children. Together, they effected a leadership change that in turn resulted in a policy change that will save millions of lives.” Commentary on Dobbs Supreme Court Ruling from Dr. Robert Jeffress – Pathway to Victory (ptv.org)

My Faith Votes reminds us that when a pregnant woman visits a Pregnancy Resource Center, she’s often given a gift of baby items. A simple pack of diapers can humanize the fact that a baby is growing in her womb. Imagine if we each took action in our community with this one simple step! Please join us by pledging, right now, to show care and compassion to these mothers in need…we’ll even help you find the Pregnancy Resource Center closest to you.

Our Family Choice for Life Story

Lest you think I’m writing on this topic without knowing personally the difference the life and death of an unborn baby can make to a family, let me bring home to you how giving life to a child influences generations to come in a family.

I have the blessing of almost thirty years married to my godly husband Dave because his mother Barbara’s birthmother chose life for her, and she was adopted. Barbara married Al and my husband Dave was born and he fathered three children, who gave birth to eight grandchildren because their grandmother Barbara was given life.

My daughter Kim’s grandmother, Jean, on her dad’s side was adopted, and because Jean’s birthmother chose to give her life, Jean gave birth to Kim’s dad, my first husband, and we had my precious daughter Kim.

Kim and her husband have three children. They adopted their first child Brandon at two weeks. His Hispanic birthmother was only 15 and Brandon was her second child she bravely chose to carry. Because of her choice to give Brandon life, we have a handsome 17-year-old grandson who has worked since he was 15, while remaining a straight A brilliant student in school and just bought his first car. Brandon is who I thought about as tears flowed reading the SCOTUS decision honoring the sanctity of life. I can’t imagine our family without him. He is such a blessing and loved so dearly.

How many other Barbara’s, Jean’s, and Brandon’s  didn’t get the opportunity to experience life and be a part of a family generational tree because their birthmothers walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic? Thank you Jesus that more of the children You create in their mother’s womb will now have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.” Psalm 139:13-14

Why Is America a Republic and NOT a Democracy?

6

The topic of this blog may have surprised you. I was intrigued too when I initially heard the statement that America is a Republic and not a Democracy. Then, I began hearing this concept explained repeatedly by Conservative Constitutionalists I respect and became not only intrigued, but also curious to learn more. It resonated with me because I’d noticed the liberal left fixated on the word democracy as they oppose safe fair voting rights laws like voter ID or they attempt to eliminate, disregard, or illegally alter laws to allow voter fraud. The universal chant echoed by their marketing department, the liberal mainstream media, was that “Democracy will be threatened or even destroyed!”

The more I learned about their definition of democracy, the more I realized what they were really saying is they would lose power, which they’re desperate to maintain at any cost, even ignoring or breaking current laws and trying to establish new laws that would only benefit them, the Democrat party, not democracy for everyone!

Democracy to them is all about their power, not equal representation for All Americans, which our Founding Fathers envisioned when they wrote Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution. Notice the authors of the Constitution did not write that we would be a Democracy, but instead a Republic.

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”

The principle behind this constitutional article was that in a republic, even the political party in the minority would still have a voice in the government to represent their constituents. A republic would be a participatory system where one side could not completely dominate and rule, but both sides would have a say in their government regardless of who was in the majority. The purpose was to avoid the tyranny of the majority in legislature, like we’re experiencing today. We the people, ALL the people, are supposed to have equal civil rights. In a republic, the government equally represents both political sides which discuss and debate issues together and consider what’s best for the country as a whole, not just the majority in power.

Our Founding Fathers were trying to prevent. . .

“A democracy mindset carries a lynch-mob, rule-of-the-majority MENTALITY that getting the most votes by any means necessary is the only thing that matters, even at the expense of human decency, manners, morals, truth, fact, fairness, and following the law. Nothing, but nothing, is as important as getting the most votes BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY including the use of lies, intimidation, preaching hate, voting fraud, and brutal violence, all methods used, throughout their party’s history, by those on the political Left. 

“Such tactics are precisely why our Founding Fathers UNANIMOUSLY REJECTED democracy and considered it to be “evil,” “wretched,” “a disease,” “the most vile form of government,” and wanted nothing to do with it. 

“Contrast democracy’s destructive mentality with the peaceful MINDSET of being a Republic where rule-of-law matters, whether it’s the majority or not. Republicanism means: “adherence to a republican form of government,” NOT a democratic form. It also means: “the principles, policy, or practices of the Republican party of the U.S.”

“As such, republicanism REJECTS the mob-rule mentality because established laws protect our personal rights and our civil rights, whereas democracy would PROTECT NOTHING because, unlike a republic, it’s fifty-one percent wins every time and whether it’s legal or moral doesn’t matter. By continuously selling their LIE of democracy, instead of the documented truth of our Republic, Democrats have brainwashed Americans by successfully BLURRING THE DISTINCTION between the two and instilled a MOB-RULE MENTALITY in their followers. 

“Ever since Democrats formally rejected our ‘Republican Form of Government’ by adopting the cause of democracy at their 1832 proslavery National Convention, Democrats have been involved in an ALL-OUT-EFFORT to OVERTHROW our Republic and its rule-of-law. They seek to replace it with the mob rule of democracy, where using fraud and violence to get their way is perfectly acceptable. Simply said, they’re SELFISH and want what they want and don’t care how they get it or who they hurt.” Article IV Section 4 – Reclaim Our Republic Because Truth Matters

The Democrats can only move their progressive/Marxist agenda with violence like we see with BLM, Antifa, pro-abortion extremists, and now the fraudulent January 6 Commission.

Dave Barton on Flashpoint pointed out that right and wrong today are determined by whether or not it hurts my agenda. We see that vividly in the two-tiered justice system in our country today. If something goes against the Democrat’s agenda, like let’s say abortion being overturned, they turn a blind eye to the danger, harassment, and threats against the conservative Supreme Court Judges, even though the law specifically prohibits going to their homes and protesting, not to mention trying to assassinate one of them.

But the White House, Biden, Pelosi, Garland don’t enforce the law and show their complicity with inaction. Schumer actually called for an insurrection and possible harm to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, with no reprimand. Anti-abortion terrorist groups are systematically and violently defacing and attacking pro-life centers and churches with no accountability, while a year and a half later, conservative political prisoners from January 6 are still in solitary confinement in jails without trials.

Violence, intimidation, threats are the Democrats way of getting what they want, even breaking the law. We all know what would happen if Republicans were doing this.

Again, Article IV Section 4 – Reclaim Our Republic Because Truth Matters asks the questions:

“Didn’t Republicans learn anything from 2015 to 2021, when Democrats, in separate documented incidents, violently attacked upwards of one thousand Republican supporters of Donald Trump and more than one hundred Republican members of congress, killing some and hospitalizing others? Or from 2015 to 2021, when Democrat leaders like Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Tom Perez, Ilhan Omar, Ocasio Cortez, and others publicly called for more violence against Republicans? Or from 2017 to 2021, when Democrats again refused to accept the election of a Republican president by illegally attempting to remove him from office based on a fake Russian Dossier they created, followed by a fake impeachment based on a fake phone conversation they created? 

“Or from 2020 to today, when self-confessed Marxist Democrat terrorist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter used rioting, looting, burning, intimidation, brutal violence, and murder to occupy major portions of American cities for months on end? Or from 2020 to today, when Democrat-led big tech companies are attempting to silence and censure Republicans again? Or in 2021, when Democrat President Joe Biden proposed packing the Supreme Court again, this time adding 4 new Justices to give Democrats majority control?”

The Democrats want to pack the court and eliminate the electoral college so we will be governed solely by the popular vote, which would mean that 20 liberal Democrat-controlled blue cities and 9 blue states would tyrannically control America. We would no longer be a republic, but a democracy where the majority liberal left would literally rule as dictators forever or until the people rebel. Republicans would have no voice or vote in our country ever again. That is their ultimate goal at any cost.

Why am I telling you this? Because Conservatives are already being censured and silenced by those in power and they’re attempting to force us into “tolerance” of everything that goes against God and the way He wants His people to live, as I wrote about last week, America Needs Truth NOT Tolerance. Jesus gave us responsibility while we’re here on earth to speak the truth, live the truth, share the truth, vote the truth!

We are God’s voice and if we don’t use it wisely, we will be silenced. We are a nation of laws not ruled by men. We do everything by God’s laws first, then the Constitution, and we support and vote for people who understand that we are a republic of the people and for the people, not a democracy of the most powerful.

 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. Acts 5:29 NLT

Words matter! Listen carefully. Learn diligently. Vote responsibly. Pray continuously. Do not be deceived.

A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Eph. 6:10

When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability. Proverbs 28:2 NLT

There’s Hope for America Breaking Free From Demonic Paganism!

6

The title of last week’s blog was God Is Up to Something Big! That almost seems prophetic with the events of the past week and the answer to so many prayers with the SCOTUS “leak” that Roe v Wade will be overturned after the murder of over 63 million precious children in our country alone in the past fifty years since it became law. We should be rejoicing and not let victory be tainted by the way we heard about it that has set Democrats and pro-abortion advocates into a frenzy.

I want to preface this blog with a word to anyone suffering from the guilt of having an abortion and not yet asked and received the Lord’s forgiveness. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

My friend Pat Layton has a beautiful ministry Surrendering the Secret I would encourage you to look into. “A ministry designed to help women (and men) heal from the hurt of abortion. Abortion affects people of all walks of life. At STS we, provide resources for women that have had abortions, and opportunities for others to help support these women.” 

Paganism in America

I often read the Bible in a year. This year, I’m using the CBN.Com reading schedule where I read from the Old and New Testament each day. As I study, I see a stark resemblance to the world we’re living in today. No longer are we a country governed by our foundational Judeo-Christian beliefs, morals, fairness, and justice or even a belief in God We Trust.

We now have a political party in charge who worships nature through a false religion of climate control/change. Encourages mothers to murder their unwanted babies, censors and controls any dissention from their demented platform, and a President who calls anyone who is a patriot and believes in God, country, and the sanctity of life, “the most extreme political organization that’s ever existed in recent American history.”

Actually, Biden’s regime is the first administration in my lifetime who wants to destroy America, trash the Constitution, and turn us into a Marxist/Communist country. I would call that an “extreme political organization.”

When you look into the eyes of those who are demanding women have the demonic “right” to kill their unborn babies, even infanticide after birth, and who can’t define a woman and believe men can get pregnant, you see evil deception, greed, power, and pride.

Paganism! Hedonism!

King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, was also enticed by paganism, but the Lord saw everything just like He’s watching all the evil today, and He said there would be consequences to the king who once wisely saved a baby’s life. (1 Kings 3:16-28)

1 Kings 11:1-8 tells of Solomon’s downfall:

Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh’s daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. 2 The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel, “You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.” Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. 3 He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord.

4 In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the Lord his God, as his father, David, had been. 5 Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech,[a] the detestable god of the Ammonites.

6 In this way, Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight; he refused to follow the Lord completely, as his father, David, had done. 7 On the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem,[a] he even built a pagan shrine for Chemosh, the detestable god of Moab, and another for Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites. 8 Solomon built such shrines for all his foreign wives to use for burning incense and sacrificing to their gods.

Chemosh was the name of the chief pagan god of the Moabites. Molech represents the most repulsive of acts in God’s sight, the ritual sacrifice of children to a pagan god. Just like abortion sacrifices children to the gods of pleasure, convenience, selfish ambition, and money.

I wonder if all the protestors, activists, and politicians demanding that abortion remain legal have ever watched the movie Unplanned where we see a callous doctor vacuum a fetus out of a mother’s womb. Or read about the tortures children experience during abortion when saline is injected in-vitro into their heart to stop it from beating or instruments used to tear the baby apart limb by limb in their mother’s womb. If you can stand to hear details, Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortion doctor, graphically described the procedure to Congress.

The tortured, burned, dismembered bodies of these babies are thrown into trashcans or sold for research. That’s the reality of abortion. Most people would be aghast if this atrocity happened to puppies, yet people and politicians are actually protesting that every woman should have the “right” to mercilessly kill their unborn child. Barbaric. Hedonistic ritualistic sacrifice of humans. Paganism!

I recently heard an abortion survivor at seven months share her story. She’s a beautiful woman who founded an abortion survivors’ organization. She has a family. She had a right to life just like every aborted child had a right to its life.

Biden in defense of abortion falsely claims “Roe says what all basic mainstream religions have historically concluded, that the existence of a human life and being is a question. Is it at the moment of conception? Is it six months? Is it six weeks? Is it quickening, like Aquinas argued?”

This is an outright lie when he knows his own Catholic “religion” vehemently opposes abortion. Actually, it doesn’t matter what “mainstream religions” say, it only matters that God says, “Thou shalt not kill!” Period. No discussion or rationalization. And with modern technology and science, we absolutely do know that human life begins at conception. Now we can hear the baby’s heartbeat and literally watch the child develop in the womb! We know a baby in the womb experiences fetal pain and has viability in the second trimester and in some cases even earlier.

When an interviewer asked Dr. Levatino to give a gestational timeframe for acceptable abortion, he responded, “You were always you!” In other words, NEVER!

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.” Jer. 1:5 NLT

While lobbying for abortion and not once condemning the “leak” or supporting SCOTUS, Biden said, “abort a child,” and then declared, “I believe I have the rights that I have not because the government gave it to me . . . but because I’m just a child of God: I exist.” Yes, Mr. President you exist with rights because your mother chose life and not death for you. But God does not give the right to murder. Every aborted child is a child of God with a right to exist! Using God in your defense of abortion is blasphemy and an abomination to our Great Creator. *

Let’s read on to see what God said to King Solomon about abandoning the Lord’s ways.

9 The Lord was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. 10 He had warned Solomon specifically about worshiping other gods, but Solomon did not listen to the Lord’s command. 11 So now the Lord said to him, “Since you have not kept my covenant and have disobeyed my decrees, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your servants. 1 Kings 11:9-11 NLT

No one is fooled. The Democrats were behind the SCOTUS vile leak to rev up their base because the odds are against them in November and to take the focus off inflation, crime, rising food and gas costs, and the invasion at the border. They were ready with their protestors and speeches moments after the leak. They know they’re on a trajectory to lose “their kingdom” and long ago they discarded ethics, morals, and scruples. We saw that with the last election.

What Do We Do Now?

With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. Ps. 108:13

1. We pray for wisdom of when and what to do and say. We pray for the safety and protection of the Supreme Court Justices and their families and that they don’t waiver under pressure but vote with integrity. We don’t stay silent in the face of deception and evil. We pray for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matt. 6:10)

2. We speak the truth and educate those who often don’t even know that they’re championing and protesting for mothers to kill their children.

3. We vote for anti-abortion, family-friendly truly Conservative Christian political representatives and do our homework before we vote. When abortion comes back to the states to vote, we’ll have our work to do all over again, especially if you live in blue states.

4. We support parents speaking out against the pornographic perverted sex and racist CRT taught in some schools today. I wrote more about this is my blog “They’re Coming for Our Children!”

When its age appropriate, children should be taught the biological fact that when a male sperm permeates a female egg a child results and it can happen the first time you have unprotected sex! That’s how babies are made. Don’t have sex unless you’re ready to take on that responsibility. I think it would be good for sex education to show videos of babies developing in the womb so that children won’t be deceived into thinking there’s not a real person with moving arms and legs and eyes, nose, and a mouth that smiles.

Kimberly Fletcher, founder of MomsforAmerica.us says parents need to teach their children the truth about abortion and that it is barbarically taking a life. Raise children to understand the difference between death and the value and sanctity of life. Understanding evil versus good should be taught in every home. Children are hearing lies and hyperbole and home should be a safe place to hear the truth and ask questions.

5. If you haven’t seen the movie Unplanned, watch it now to reaffirm your anti-abortion, pro-life conviction and recommend it to anyone you know who is pro-abortion, pro-death. Here’s the trailer.

6. Churches should offer counseling and ministries to provide hope and tangible help to women dealing with unplanned pregnancies. For those who have already had abortions, help them find spiritual healing that comes from seeking God’s forgiveness.

I’ll close with this story. On a panel show discussing the Roe leak, a liberal left Democrat who was distraught with the possible overturn of Roe spewed angrily, “What am I supposed to tell my daughters?!”

With those words, he epitomized the reality of what abortion has become to many, including parents, a form of accepted birth control.

I said to the TV screen, “You tell your daughters not to have promiscuous sex outside of marriage. You tell them don’t have unprotected sex unless you’re ready to have a baby. You remind them that sex is the beautiful way God created for a husband and wife to come together as one to give the gift of life to a child. You tell them abortion snuffs out a life.

They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. Ps. 106:38

But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matt. 18:6 NLT

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live. Deut. 30:19

Here are blogs I wrote previously.

What If Abortion Had Been an Option for Mary?

Why You Should See #Unplanned Movie

Prisoner’s of Choice By Patti Smith

*Note: I’ve told you in earlier blogs how God often confirms the topic I’m to write about. I hope you’ll take a moment to read an article in Blaze News by Steve Deace “The most demonic moment in the history of the presidency?” I had already written the above blog when I read Deace’s article, which conveyed similar thoughts the Lord had given to me. It was an ah-ha moment over my Friday morning coffee. Here’s Deace’s closing paragraph . . .

“If you are a Christian, you must realize that the president of the United States just brought down curses and judgement upon your nation no different than the wicked kings of ancient Israel did. He is telling you that the heavens demand human sacrifice. He is telling you, this “devout Catholic,” that salvation comes from rogue tyranny and power over others instead of from the cross. In other words, Nero still lives.”
