The Deception of America

In Romans 13; 1-4 Paul point out that we are to have an orderly government which is part of God’s provision, even in a wicket world.
Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.
Rom 13:2 So that the one resisting the authority resists the ordinance of God; and the ones who resist will receive judgment to themselves.
Rom 13:3 For the rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the bad. And do you desire to be not afraid of the authority? Do the good, and you shall have praise from it.
Rom 13:4 For it is a servant of God to you for good. For if you practice evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him who does evil.
Under normal circumstances the Christian is to be obedient to the laws of the land. This does not mean we are to obey the regulations that are unmoral or anti Christian.
In such case we are to be obedient to God and not to man. We are to speak up and stand up for what is right. We are not to fellow the leading’s of the corrupt leaders leading us into a down fall in America.
We have to take a stand against abortion. This is NOT a blob of flesh that has no life. Fourty million abortions have been allowed in America.
We have children that are in school and have to pray in secret because Prayers are not allowed in schools.
They are talking about taking “IN GOD WE TRUST” off of the currency.
The Ten Commandments hold not value in courtrooms or in the schools.
Our students are not allowed to study their bibles in school.
Prayers is not allowed in the schools.
Merry Christmas is not allowed for it may offend none believers.
That same sex marriages in okay and they are trying to pass it in all states.
They are passing the hate crime law which will make it illegal to speak out against abortion, gays and Muslims.
It’s time for the remnant to stand up and take notice of what is happening to us. We have to wake up before the raft of God falls upon us.
Right know America is in a free fall of deception, our economy is crashing and we seem to be asleep. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
Our very foundations are been shaken to the core. Our nation cannot spend its way back to wealth; our hope is not in Washington bail out; our hope is in the Lord of Glory.
We have to return back to the bible and back to God.
As John Hagee Stated
“So what shall we do? We must have a moral and spiritual revival that takes us back to the God of the Bible, back to the motility, back to individual responsibility and back to the 10 commandments. He states, I am begging every Bible believing Christian to stand up, to speak up and never shut up until our nation and our government returns to the GOD OF OUR FATHERS”.
Recovering Our Lost Influence
By R. Loren Sandford
Recently I’ve heard prophecies that America has just two to three months to turn things around before the judgment comes. Those voices have it wrong. The two to three months applies to a period of time concerning which the Lord spoke to me at the end of last year, and the judgment is not on America, but on the church in this country.
After Obama’s election I believe the Lord told me that we would see six months of delusory hope, followed by a whirlwind. Caught up in the whirlwind I saw a flurry of papers representing accelerating change. I suspect the papers represent a flurry of legislation. We will see the effect of it two to three months from now.
I don’t see judgment falling on the nation yet but rather on the church—God’s people—and it has only just begun. 1 Peter 4:17 clearly indicates that judgment begins with the house of God.
The first stage of judgment—already in motion—is that we have lost both our power as a voting block and our cultural influence. We have lost these things (1) because we have presented ourselves to the nation in the religious spirit rather than the Spirit of Christ and (2) because our integrity in high places has been badly compromised.
The second stage of judgment on the church in days to come is that the culture of this nation will continue in the direction it has been choosing to take for the last 40 years. The judgment is that we can do nothing to stop this slide into lawlessness and immorality because we’ve sacrificed our moral authority.
Where the world is concerned, we’ll begin to see an economic recovery take hold at mid-year. The signs are already beginning to surface and will take a long time to have full effect, but we will see the beginning. Morality, however, will continue its downward spiral, and in many cases, legislation will back it up.
At the root of our loss of influence politically and culturally is the spirit of the Pharisees, the religious spirit. The Bible teaches us that Jesus invites righteousness, the grace that leads to repentance, while the religious spirit tries to force behavior. Jesus demolishes walls and builds bridges while the religious spirit creates a chasm between those who think themselves righteous and those the righteous judge to be defiled. Hatred results.
The Pharisees called people to repent, but the only motivator they could offer was condemnation—and condemnation presents too great an obstacle for anyone to overcome. For example, in Luke 19 the Pharisees grumbled against Jesus because He honored Zacchaeus, the sinner, by going to stay at his house. Condemnation never motivated anyone to repent and change, but love and honor do. In response to the honor Jesus offered him, Zacchaeus gave away half his wealth and restored four times to those he had cheated. Honor and grace lead to repentance.
Remember the power of the Republican Party just four and eight years ago? Do you remember how that party was widely viewed as the party of evangelical Christians? Do you recall the power both Republicans and evangelicals wielded in every election? Today many are singing death songs over the Republican Party and over evangelical Christian influence in general. I’m not saying that one party is better than the other. I’m saying that any political party left to itself without a balancing influence is a bad thing.
We can’t pray in the schools. Islam and the New Age can be taught in the classroom but not Christianity. State after state approves gay marriage. The Ten Commandments get removed from the statehouse lawn. But that’s not the fault of the unbelievers, nor can we lay that at the door of Barack Obama. We might cry, “Bad Democrats! Bad liberals!” as if it were their fault, but it isn’t. Nor can it be blamed on unbelievers. Neither the liberal left nor the devil did this to us. Don’t blame them. We Christians did it to ourselves.
President Vows Middle East Solution in Two Years
By: Mike Evans
Centuries of conflict have surrounded the Jews and Palestinians, both claiming ownership of the tiny parcel of land that is Israel. Learned men have devoted themselves to a resolution; politicians have haggled over the perfect peace treaty that would, ultimately, mean a star in their negotiations crown. Men and women have died to preserve the nation of Israel, and now comes President Barack Obama who has given himself just two years to resolve the Israel/Palestinian issue. Is he foolhardy, or will he abandon Israel in order to achieve his goal?
The president will travel to Egypt later this week to deliver a speech that the White House says will “take on the tough issues.” At the top of his list of concerns is a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
According to White House advisers, in his speech in the Egyptian capital this week, Obama will “take on the tough issues” including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and offer to help overcome disparities with the Muslims predicated on “mutual interests and mutual respect.” Apparently, the president believes he must placate the Muslim nations by sacrificing Israel on the altar of appeasement. Unfortunately for Mr. Obama, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t seem too eager to satisfy the president’s desire to interfere in Israel’s political future.
President Obama’s foray into the Middle East will begin with a visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and a meeting with King Abdullah. One can but wonder if he will again bow to the sovereign of a Muslim nation as he did on their first meeting. Obama and the king will review the Saudi peace initiative which calls for, among other things, Israel to return to her 1967 borders and give East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as a capital.
Denis McDonough, Obama’s foreign policy advisor said, “Some of the things that you will hear in the speech are returning to proven and effective policies and initiatives that have . . . served the national interest well in the past.” Would someone care to translate that into understandable English? To what policies and initiatives does this statement refer? Many of the proposals proffered by past administrations place Israel in the vice of appeasement, demanding that it relinquish yet more land-for-peace – a plan that has never worked, and never will.
Egypt has long been a U.S. ally, and is the largest Arab nation worldwide. Cairo, its largest city, is home to 18 million people and to Al Azhar University, the center of learning for Sunni Arabs.
Egyptian historian Mahmoud Sabet applauded Obama’s choice of Cairo to deliver his address to moderate Muslims: “If you are going to conceive of Iran as being a rival in the region, and Iran is a Shia country … if you are going to tell the vast majority of Sunni Muslims that you are not their enemy, it makes sense.” There is some concern, however, about the president’s overtures to Iran, a Shia nation at odds with its Sunni Arab brethren. Arabs, moderate and fanatical, are clamoring for a Palestinian state for only one reason; it would mean the demise of the state of Israel.
This is the aim today, as it has been since the miraculous founding of the Jewish state in 1948. It is the reason the PLO was founded in Cairo in 1964, and the explanation for Yasser Arafat’s deadly intifada against the Jewish people. It is the reason Israel has been compelled to go to the bargaining table time and again and forced to accept agreements that were detrimental to the safety and security of the tiny nation.
With the delivery of a speech in Cairo on Wednesday, President Barack Obama will join the long list of American presidents who have tried to back the Israelis into a corner. It will be interesting to see how the pugnacious prime minister of Israel reacts to the determined president.
