Our country is in a turmoil.

One side against the other.

Donald Trump has been appointed by God for such a time as this. He is not perfect but has been selected by God to accomplish His work.

Joe Biden has been appointed by Satan to accomplish his dark works on Earth. Dark and sinister full of malice. An undertow of unrighteousness things.

The Democratic Party does not honor God with their political platform. Abortions. Gay marriages. Are the two that catch in my throat and which are condemned by God in His Word the Bible.

They spout socialism, one world government, everything free for all, uprisings

This presidential election is a fierce battle between Good and evil. The Dems hate the republicans with a vehement hatred. Their teeth are barred and venom spews out of their mouth. Kill him. Impeach him. Burn riot destroy. Here is not my President.

What happened last night? Did America loose? Are we going to become a socialistic country? These and many thoughts ran through my head the moment Fox News gave Ohio to Obama pushing him over the 270 electoral votes needed to remain President of The United States of America.

At work today Dick said that he was going to teach on Colossians 2:8 this Sunday. Read it.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Do you realize how close we came to doing exactly that! We were so committed to ousting Obama that we bent our scruples and put our hopes behind a very high member of a cult (Mormonism) to become our President.

Never mind the fact that Obama still has not convinced us that he is a citizen of the United States. Nor the fact that he is a professing Muslim, and a Socialist. Nor that he said we are not a Judeo-Christian nation, or his refusal to accept Israel or her Prime Minister.

We were so focused on firing Obama that we blinded our eyes to Romney’s false beliefs. Yes he was for Israel, family, sanctity of marriage, balanced economy, jobs, and etc. BUT! If he would have won we would have all taken a deep breath of relief and sat back on our laurels.

Romney’s win would have been the end to our struggle. Now it would all be in Mitt’s hands to do his managerial control of our countries woes. Ahh! What a relief. Not to worry. Things are going to be all right. I think I will just curl up and go to sleep.

We Christians would have all fallen asleep one more time. We are good at this, we do it so often. One day we wake up as see that prayer has been banned from our schools. We wonder “how did that happen?” We again wake up and find that abortions are available to any and all who want them. We again wonder “what happened?” 9-11 comes and goes and we stare in awe and say “what happened?”

Not this time my friend. We cannot fall into blissful slumber and let the country grind on its merry way. We are still at war. The enemy has regained a strategic foothold and is bunkering in for a fierce fight. A fight that apparently only the awakened, enlightened, spirit filled Christians can see. Over half of the country thinks that things are going Great or they would not have elected Obama to the second term.

Re-read Colossians 8.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 

We almost accepted that which seemed right at the time but was not according to Christ. Even Glenn Beck said that yesterday he knew he was right but now he sees that he was totally wrong. We cannot win by substituting a man for what God can only do.

The fight that we are about to wage war with is evil in its purest form. We battle against powers and forces in the spirit realm. Our country has succumbed to the whiles of Satan bit by bit as he belittles our moral structure and gets his fingers entwined around our throats ready to choke the life from us.

Did you notice how easy it was for Obama’s charismatic character to entrance most Americans into his web? They did not even notice. The News Media fell full sway into his enchantment, embellishing every word and action he made as coming from, quite possibly god.

Yet when faced with the starkness of reality they chose to ignore it, wanting rather to hold on to the enticing words of Hope and Change. Not to worry about the $4, $5, $6 Trillion in debt. That is such a massive number it will surely just go away. Obama will wave some more magic dust our way and Poof it will vanish.

Now those poor people who got wrapped up, oh yea – killed, in that Benghazi uprising. That was just unfortunate. Obama said he knew nothing about it, I believe him. I think some more pixie dust is in order. Sprinkle, sprinkle.

The Bible tells us that in the end times a powerful charismatic man will become ruler over the whole Earth. He is called the Antichrist. I am not inferring that Obama is that man. I just want to show you how easy it will be for us to welcome Mr. 666 into our opened arms. Hitler rose to power with the blessings of the German people.

The President we currently have, if left unfettered, will break Americas back and drive us into socialism. The war we face is real and eminent. Yet we can’t fight the President. Just try it and you will end up with a bunch of Secret Service Agents on top of you.

On our knees is how we must fight. Only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob can see us through. He is our strength and shield. He is our strong arm, mighty to face the foe.

Now that we have been whipped into a frenzy over the election and have lost handily it is time to take a stand for that which is right. Pray, my Christian friends, that God’s hand will reveal the evil in our country. That He will expose the sin that has entrenched itself deep within the fiber of America. That truth will prevail over lies.

The God I serve is more than mighty enough to whip this foe. The battle is just beginning. The fray is just starting. We did not lose yesterday…

“I have not yet begun to fight” – John Paul Jones  

Prayer, belief in the might of our God, and commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is the only way. This is a silent war waged in the spirit realm. You will not hear the clashing of swords but you will feel the darts of the enemy. Pull them out and trample them under your feet for you are “the head and not the tail.” Mighty is our God.

The other night I had a dreaming vision of my Spirit.

It is all of me. It was the same shape and size of me. My skin seemed to be a covering over it. It was sort of transparent and yet it has a slight glow to it. Sort of like the aliens in the movie Cocoon. But that was a secular movie and had nothing to do with the real existence of Spiritual beings. Even though – they sort of slipped on a skin covering over their real selves – glowing spirit like creatures.

It is me. You know that part of you that knows who you are. That part of you that is timeless and ageless. I feel now like I did when I was 17 and in High School. I can remember my mother saying this when she was near 90 years old.

Our spirit was made for eternity and that is too long to even think about. The song says “When we’ve been there 10,000 years…’” That is a long time also. In comparison to 10,000 my mere 65 years is just a title’s worth. No wonder I feel so young in my Spirit. It is the body that is growing old and soon to expire. Not my Spirit.

My Spirit is the part of me that goes either to Heaven or Hell when I die. I am going to Heaven by the way. No ifs ands or buts. I have already purchased my ticket through the Death, Burial, and resurrection of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I heard a Christian ex-martial arts preacher say the when they smashed their hand through a board or brick that it was the human spirit that did the breaking and not the physical hands. Pretty powerful stuff.

When combined with a true faith in Jesus Christ it is even more powerful. I have been transformed by my acceptance as Jesus as my Lord. The same Spirit that raised Him from the dead is within me.

Watch out Satan. I am a lean mean fighting machine. Jesus has already died for me and conquered Life, death, and even hell for me. I am victorious through the Blood of Jesus.

Have you ever read the following?

Mark 11: 12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

..

..

 20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. 21 Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”  22 Jesus answered them,

“Have faith in God.  23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.  24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

Pretty neat promises don’t you think? “all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them”.

I have read this many times and marveled at the power of God that is available to us. Yet is that really what Jesus meant to tell us? Could I possible ask “ all things whatever you pray and ask for” and receive them “ and you shall have them”?

Then I jump down to the commentary at the bottom of my Study Bible. Lo and behold! This guy sure doesn’t think so. So I go to another commentator on theWEB. Wow! He has an even more restrictive answer as to what I can ask for. Yikes! It seems like Jesus didn’t really know what He was saying.

Why according to these learned professional theologians I have to do this and that and only ask for this under this circumstance. My head is dizzy trying to unravel the very thought of it. You can never seem to find a unemployed tax lawyer to give you a hand when needed. I have read contracts with less verbiage.

Jesus put it so simple “Have faith in God”, “Ask”, “Believe”, and “Receive”. That is the way Jesus’ life was. Simple yet profound. It seems to take a theologian to confuse it. Jesus was speaking these words to common fishermen. They were crude, unkempt, smelly, and assuredly not highly educated. Jesus Kept His messages simple.

It is in that tone that I choose to read and understand these verses. Simple and to the point.

One commentator said that speaking of the withered tree symbolized our withered self before we came to Christ. Did they ever read v.13? Jesus went to a real tree looking for real fruit.

Matthew tells us a this story a little different.

Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?” 21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.  22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Jesus said “you will not only do what was done to the fig tree”. So he is relating the fig tree in a real way when He gave us the promise. I don’t believe he was talking about some spiritual state of our being. He said do you remember that tree? Well you can do the same thing to this mountain.

They were standing on the Mount of Olives at the time and could see the Dead Sea off in the distance. There was no need to come up with some mental image. This was a simple object lesson. Plain and simply Jesus meant the Mount of Olives that He was standing on. Not some ethereal representation of a problem in your life that looms over you like a mountain. Yet this is exactly what preacher after preacher says. Why you can say to this mountain of despair in your life to be removed and cast into the sea and it will.

In real life you do not see too many mountains being thrown into a sea. What a CNN event that would be. EPA would be there as well as Greens Peace and Al Gore. What a calamity. What about the thousands of people who lived on the mountain, how are they. Not to mention the tsunami that would be set off by this massive amount of rock being pitched into the deep.

Why does this not happen if Jesus said that it could. Trying to answer this question is probably the reason so many have opted out for the less meaningful rendition of it being a mountain in your head and not a mountain of solid granite. Quite frankly I do not think that anyone has the faith to believe it. Pure and simple. You can believe a lot of things, but to cause an actual 14,000 foot mountain to be ripped out of the earth and cast into the sea seems totally impossible. So it does not happen.

Possibly to the very assured Christian who does posses the true faith needed to cause this natural disaster, other things become more important than causing a natural terrifying event. These are the ones off feeding the hungry, raising the dead, leading lost souls to Christ.

I can see several 14,000 foot mountains on my way to work each day. I have a lot of faith in God and power given to me by Jesus. Yet it does not occur to me to want one of these splendid pinnacles of Gods nature to be ripped out of its socket just to please my thoughts. What possible good or end could there be in such an undertaking?

Yet because that Jesus told me that I could do this if I wished, it to be gives me great comfort in the strength of the faith I have in Him. I can do all things because of Christ, not just trash prime skiing terrain.

I started writing this to help unravel the meaning behind what those verses of Scripture said. I believe I have accomplished what I set out to do. Yes we can move a physical real hard rock mountain and cause it to be cast into the sea. It has to be, Jesus said it.

But why would I want to do it? Just because I can. Having such great power direct from God I would much rather use it to do a greater amount of good in this world. I know that I can move Mount Evans, but I would rather minister to the needy in a 3rd world country. With such power available to me just by asking nothing can stand in my way as I seek to serve the living Savior with my life.

Stand back Satan. You can not pass, you can not thwart me, you have no power over me. I have Jesus Christ watching my back with His hand on my shoulder. I am invincible through Christ who strengthens me.
