A few example are:

• Undeclared wars are commonplace.
• Welfare for the rich and poor is considered an entitlement.
• The economy is overregulated, overtaxed and grossly distorted by a deeply flawed monetary system [the Federal Reserve System].
• Debt is growing exponentially.
• The Patriot Act and FISA legislation, passed without much debate, have resulted in a steady erosion of our Fourth Amendment rights.
• Tragically, our government engages in preemptive war, otherwise known as aggression, with no complaints from the American people. The Constitution says only Congress can declare war, not the president.
• The drone warfare we are pursuing worldwide is destined to end badly for us as the hatred builds for innocent lives lost and the international laws flaunted. Once we are financially weakened and militarily challenged, there will be a lot of resentment thrown our way.
• It’s now the law of the land that the military can arrest American citizens, hold them indefinitely, without charges or a trial.
• Rampant hostility toward free trade is supported by a large number in Washington.
• Supporters of sanctions, currency manipulation and World Trade Organization trade retaliation call the true free traders “isolationists.”
• Sanctions are used to punish countries that don’t follow our orders.
• Bailouts and guarantees for all kinds of misbehavior are routine.
• Central economic planning through monetary policy, regulations and legislative mandates has been an acceptable policy [communism].

Excessive government has created such a mess it prompts many questions:

• Why does the federal government restrict the drinking of raw milk?
• Why can’t Americans manufacture rope and other products from hemp?
• Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution?
• Why is Germany and Texas concerned enough to consider repatriating their gold held by the Fed for them in New York? Is it that the trust in the U.S. and dollar supremacy [is] beginning to wane?
• Why do our political leaders believe it’s unnecessary to thoroughly audit our own gold?
• Why can’t Americans decide which type of light bulbs they can buy?
• Why is the TSA permitted to abuse the rights of any American traveling by air?
• Why should there be mandatory sentences – even up to life for crimes without victims – as our drug laws require?
• Why haven’t we given up on the drug war since it’s an obvious failure … Has nobody noticed that the authorities can’t even keep drugs out of the prisons? How can making our entire society a prison solve the problem?
• Why do we sacrifice so much, getting needlessly involved in border disputes and civil strife around the world, and ignore the root cause of the most deadly border in the world – the one between Mexico and the U.S.?
• Why does Congress willingly give up its prerogatives to the executive branch?
• Why does changing the party in power NEVER change policy? Could it be that the views of both parties are essentially the same?
• Why did the big banks, the large corporations, and foreign banks and foreign central banks get bailed out in 2008, and the middle class lost their jobs and their homes?
• Why do so many in the government and the federal officials believe that creating money out of thin air creates wealth?
• Why do so many accept the deeply flawed principle that government bureaucrats and politicians can protect us from ourselves without totally destroying the principle of liberty?

The Kingdom of God is our only hope!!!

Suddenly, things changed!!! The Viet Nam War seemingly changed society overnight. Our soldiers were introduced to what they called “mary jane.” They came home and continued to smoke “pot.” Our own government smuggled it into the country and had ways to distribute it. Then came harder drugs that were so addictive people could not break the habit. America became a drug culture. Robberies began to become prominent to pay for this addiction. Drug lords had those who did not pay for their drugs killed. Society as a whole began to go downhill. It became fashionable in Hollywood and displayed openly on the big movie screens and then television. The use of these illegal drugs went all the way to elementary schools. As a result, juvenile delinquency escalated. Most children lost respect for their parents. Both parents, forced to work away from home to pay their bills from a materialistic society, could no longer provide an example of goodness. The young people were no longer taught right values of morality. Husbands and wives were thrown into the face of co-workers and adultery became rampant. Homes were split and society continued its downward plunge.

God’s law began to be trampled upon through violation of it. Morals were being compromised as Communism wanted. They studied history well, and realized that every nation that lost its moral footing would eventually fall. America is on the brink of falling!!!

This crumbling is coming rapidly. Notice what Jesus Christ, as God of the Old Testament, said: “And God spoke all these words, saying, I am the Lord your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, You shall have NO other gods before me” (Exodus 20:1-3). Look around at America today. When a young man or woman goes to college, could lose their innocence. They are turned away from God the Father and Jesus Christ. Many become atheists or just do not recognize their former Christian upbringing. They have thrown God’s Law to their backs or trampled upon it.

“You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments” (Exodus 20:4-6). Have Americans bowed down to their jobs, cars, homes, and materialism? Have they forgotten WHO gave them such wealth? Have they forgotten that Jesus is a jealous God? Have they forgotten to KEEP His commandments? This means they have thrown His way of life to the ground and trampled upon it!!!

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7). Do you hear God and Jesus’ name used in phrases of vanity – meaningless expressions?

Most people grew up in traditions that broke off from the Catholic Church. They admit they did something they had no right to do – change God’s Sabbath to Sunday worship!!! What did Jesus say about this in the Ten Commandments? “REMEMBER the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: BUT the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it” (Exodus 20:8-11).

Satan knows this 4th commandment is important to God. What has he done to cause people to profane it? He infiltrated the largest professing church in the world and influenced them to CHANGE God’s day of worship from the Sabbath to Sunday. As an enticement, Saturday has become the biggest shopping day of the week. Satan is clever, thereby causing mankind to violate another one of God’s commandments. All this and much more is what is wrong with America. We lost our God’s favor!!!

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.” (Revelation 1:5-6).

Our destines are to be born with a spirit composed body and rule with Christ for 1,000 years!!! Do we believe the Bible is inspired by God for our learning? Look what Jesus inspired in Revelation 20:4, “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (last of v.5) This is the first resurrection.” Now v. 6, “Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

What a joy to understand that we will serve under Christ in His kingdom for 1,000 years. But where will this reign take place? Where the problems are!!!

“And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and has made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” (Revelation 5:9-10).

Just think, you and I will teach people the true laws of God to prevent sin. We will teach them the true Holy Days of God, and eliminate the pagan holidays that the world engages in today.

The whole world will little-by-little learn of God’s ways when He sends one of His Sons or Daughters to become a king or priest. The human race will accept them as a mighty one because they will have a spirit composed body that cannot be assassinated. Notice how it will be:

“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain [nation] of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains [larger nations], and it shall be exalted above the hills [smaller nations]; and people shall flow unto it [God’s kingdom]. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and NONE shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god [saint with a new spirit composed body], and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God [God the Father and Jesus] forever and ever” (Micah 4:1-5).

Do you understand your destiny? You and I will rule over nations, states, counties, cities, etc.!!! The people under our jurisdiction will look to us, and we will point them to God the Father and our elder brother Jesus Christ.

There will be no more war, rather total peace. There will be no more pornography, rather pureness in heart. There will be no more murder or adultery, rather we will teach doing good to neighbors and stay away from the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and the pride of life. This world will be transformed in righteousness rather than sinners. This will be a glorious time in man’s history when the Sons of God live and reign under Christ 1,000 years

Have you ever dreamed of such a future for yourself? Jesus has offered it to you. Will you accept the “Gospel” or Good News of the coming kingdom of God? If you do, you have a wonderful future before you. God be with you in accepting this wonderful offer!!!

President Woodrow Wilson tried to get us into the League of Nations, but the Senate rejected it because it would take us into world government and lose our national sovereignty. Behind the scenes giving Wilson instructions was Col. Edward Mandell House, a Socialist/ Communist. They were instrumental in getting the Federal Reserve System started to debauch our currency, and the tax amendment. Both were planks of the Communist Manifesto!!!

Read what singer and patriot Pat Boone wrote in the foreword of Craig R. Smith and Lowell Ponte’s book The Great Debasement. “The framers of America’s Constitution followed the Biblical standard for money, specifying that the U.S. dollar be an honest measure of silver or gold.

“So long as America kept faith with this standard, between the 1820’s and the creation of the Federal Reserve Board in 1913, the purchasing power of our dollar over time actually increased in value. American prosperity grew in part from keeping our money an honest medium of exchange and a sort of reliable value trusted around the world.

“In 1913 America began ‘The Great Debasement’ of our currency, the turn from gold to today’s Federal Reserves Notes, paper fiat money, based only on political promises. And as the Bible warned [Proverbs 13:11], in less than a century the buying power of our paper dollar has dwindled to only two cents of its 1913 value.

“In this book my long-trusted friend and advisor Craig Smith and former Reader’s Digest Roving Editor Lowell Ponte explain how this happened, and how our government continues to debase the dollar as a deceptive way to tax and CONTROL us. If this is not stopped soon, the dollar is doomed. …” Pat

The Communists had a 45 point plan to destroy America. One of those 45 points was to DEBAUCH our currency and leave us in bankruptcy!!! This was the purpose of the Federal Reserve, get us off the gold and silver standard and give us PAPER FIAT MONEY not backed by silver or gold.

Look at us today. We are over 16 trillion dollars in debt, when before 1913 we were the envy of the world. The world looked upon America’s poorest as rich.

The International Communist conspiracy to debauch our currency has worked with great accuracy. Of course, the Federal Reserve is composed of International Bankers who control Communism to be the seen enemy of the United States. That’s why retiring Rep. Ron Paul’s bill to “Audit the Fed” is so important. It will reveal what the Fed’s have been using our tax money and interest on loaned money.

A. Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness.

B. Get control of all means of publicity and thereby:

1. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and other trivialities.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.
4. Always preach true democracy but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
5. By encouraging government extravagance [spend, spend, spend], destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders, and foster a lenient, soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.
7. By specious [pleasing] argument cause the BREAKDOWN of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

C. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to CONFISCATE them and leaving the population helpless, and hopeless.

The question is: Have they gotten our young people’s mind off religion and God? Have they gotten them interested in sex? Look at the teenage pregnancies in the last 40 years; it tells the whole story as to whether the Socialists/Communists are still at work to overthrow America.

The second question is: Have they gotten the people’s mind off government until the awaken of 2012-13 that we are now seeing? Do they cry “racism” to divide the people? Have they helped us to lose “faith” in our elected leaders by putting into office those that “hate” the Constitution? Is Obama seeking to SEIZE POWER as fast as he can? Have they underminded our once great countries moral virtues as they said they would in 1919?

Have we seen many mass murders by mind controlled individuals? Those working for world government KNOW they need to DISARM the American people, so they will not be met with a “civil war” – the people versus Washington, D.C. What has all the talk been about since Obama was “fraudulently” put back into office? It has been a PRETEXT to gun confiscation – not just gun control!!! Gun control is all over the internet and what sheriffs, some police officers and State governments are going to do when it tries to be enforced.

The more I think of and pray about the state of religion in this country, and all over the world, the deeper my conviction becomes that the low state of the spiritual life of Christians is due to the fact that they do not realize that the aim and object of conversion is to bring the soul even here on earth to a daily fellowship with the Father in Heaven.

When once this truth has been accepted, the believer will perceive how indispensable it is to the spiritual life of a Christian to take time each day with God’s Word, and in prayer to wait upon God for His presence and love to be Revealed. ~Andrew Murray

Do we have an attitude of expectancy when we pray? The greatest obstacle to our faith is our constant focus on the difficulties we face, rather than on the Great Creator of all things who has promised to answer our prayers. Peter was kept in prison, but prayer was made earnestly by the church unto God for him: the church prayed and God did the impossible and Peter was delivered. Our prayers must be made with our hearts and eyes focused on God, not on our difficulties. There should be no doubt in your mind, based upon the absolute promises of God that He will bless your life, marriage, and church if you will truly seek Him and His will in prayer! The greatest decision you can make is to make prayer a top priority in your life on a daily basis!

Is prayer the first thing in the morning on your list for the day? How much time do you give to prayer? Paul exhorts us just as he did the Christians in the church at Colosse in Col. 4:12. “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.” We can move mountains through prayer! We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us when we pray! Our savior said it best in Luke 18:1, “Men ought always to pray and not to faint.” May we all cry out to our Heavenly Father daily: Teach us to pray and give us the discipline and self control to do it faithfully!

Our Heavenly Father is calling each of us to a closer walk with Him as we develop a greater intimacy with our Savior through prayer. We must never underestimate the power of our prayers! When we pray for ourselves and for others according to God’s will and Word powerful miraculous results will come in answers to our prayers. Schedule a portion of your day to come boldly before the throne of grace. Make prayer the priority in your life that our Savior did during His earthly ministry. There is no higher calling nor greater honor and privilege than a life devoted to prayer. It is the key to being an over comer and dwelling in the shadow of the Almighty both now and throughout eternity.

Have you ever stopped to reflect on the times you’ve prayed? Not just the times when you’ve said some prayers, but times when you cried out to our Heavenly Father with deep emotion and an intense and fervent spirit. Unfortunately, this too often only happens when we are backed into a corner and are facing a crisis at some level. God’s desire for us is that we learn to pray with great passion and purpose on a daily basis ever seeking to draw closer and closer to Our Wonderful Savior. Too often we become preoccupied with the things of this world and devote very little time to those pursuits that have eternal value, such as prayer and fellowship with our Heavenly Father through the Scriptures.

When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty

Trust Him fully because two things can happen

Either He will catch you when you fall, or

He will teach you how to fly!

The Apostle Paul prayed many beautiful and powerful prayers for his brothers and sisters in the Faith. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul wrote the following words, which formed his heartfelt prayer for all the Saints. “That God may grant you to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith” Eph. 3:16-17. In Col. 1:9 he records another example of a prayer warrior’s heart when he says, “For this reason since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” There are many more examples of scriptural prayers that we can pray for ourselves and for one another. Powerful, dynamic words from our Father that are truly His will for all His Saints. We should never lack words for our prayers, if we will but turn to the Holy Scriptures for His Words to direct our lives in His will. Can we say as Paul that we have not stopped praying? Praying for ourselves and praying for others with a fervent enduring passion.

Our Heavenly Father is looking for men and women with a heartfelt commitment to intercessory prayer. This kind of commitment requires an earnest effort, and an energetic approach to praying that dictates the setting aside of specific time to be spent coming boldly before the throne of grace into the presence of our Father with our prayers. We should follow the example of Epaphrus, who according to Col. 4:12 was always wrestling in prayer for other Christians that they would stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. Epaphrus was a simple humble servant of Almighty God just like you and I. But he determined to make his life count for eternity by obeying with all his heart Col 4:2. “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Prayer was the first thing on his list for the day. How about you? Is prayer the first thing on your list for the day? The last? Or is prayer somewhere in between if it ever happens much at all. The word devote used here doesn’t fully convey the complete meaning of the original Greek, which was giving constant attention to, or persevering.

We are commanded in Scriptures to make a conscious decision to set aside much time to talk with our Father in Heaven and to listen to Him as He works in our hearts by His Holy Spirit and His Word. The greatest privilege Our Father gives us is the freedom to approach Him at any time. Not only are we permitted, we are expected to meet with Him through prayer on a regular basis. Great power is available from God if we will but pray in faith, believing. Doctor R.A. Torrey built a message around James 4:2 many years ago, “You do not have because you do not ask. He said, “These words contain the secret of the poverty and powerlessness of the average Christian, the average minister and the average church.” “Many individuals and churches wonder why they have so little victory over sin. Why am I growing so slowly into the likeness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? And God answers….”Neglect of prayer. You have not because you ask not.”

Prayer has as much power today when men and women are themselves on praying ground and meeting the conditions of prevailing prayer, as it has ever had. God has not changed and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save as they ever were. Ask God today to reveal his will for your life and the situation you are facing. Lift the level of your praying and He will show you great and mighty things you have never seen before!

Our God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory – IF WE WILL PRAY!

Matthew 21:22

*All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Mark 11:24-25

*Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray,

believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

*And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any;

that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

They followed Mazzini and Pike’s plan to the letter! The REAL powers behind Communism created it to be a seen enemy of the West, while they were the real power – the Illuminati International Bankers. They remained “hidden” while Lenin and Communism got all the blame.

Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin began his historic investigations of Communism in America, who they were and their objectives. Their OBJECTIVE was to overthrow America for Communism. Then came the Reece Committee with its detailed investigations!

Finally, President Ronald Reagan told the Russians to tear down the Berlin Wall. Everyone was assured the Cold War was over, and Russia was no longer a threat to our security.

Long before, Lenin said: “First, we will take Eastern Europe, THEN the masses of Asia. THEN we will encircle the United States, which will be the last bastion of capitalism. We shall not have to attack. It [the U.S.] will fall like a ripe fruit into our hands.”

An alternative Plan was laid down in 1930. Dimitry Manuilski at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow declared: “War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is INEVITABLE. Today [1930], of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come … [its 2013 now]. To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The Western world will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by LAUNCHING the most spectacular peace movement on record. There shall be ELECTRIFYING OVERTURES AND UNHEARD OF CONCESSIONS. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate to their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their [military] guard is DOWN, we shall SMASH THEM WITH OUR CLENCHED FIST.”

Has Obama weakened the military? The United States has not been attacked on the home front for 200 years dating back to the War of 1812. In early 2013, Russians government leaders made the statement that “the Cold War was never over. We pretended, so we could build a modern military that could defeat the United States.

There exists a huge amount of confirming information to support the FACT that America’s days may be numbered and that we are totally unprepared for what is coming.

Russia, through the traitorous cooperation and complicity of Obama, is positioning its assets in order to attack Alaska. Obama has reduced our military and weapons just like Russia predicted. It takes a Communist to bring Communism to America, including the 80-100 in the Senate and House. Obama was bred by Communists, raised by Communists, educated at the finest schools with Communist money, and his political career was launched by Communists and his controllers in the White House are Communists. It has been clearly established that Obama is a part of the multigenerational plan to hand America over to the Russians and the Chinese Communists.

Obama did not just wake up one day and decide to weaken American defenses and hand the country over to the Russian Communists. Obama was groomed for this position for years. He is the right Communist, at the right time, whose mission is to bring America the most crippling form of Communism the world has ever seen.

High-profile Soviet defectors have been telling American intelligence agencies for decades that the Russians have engaged in a multigenerational plot to destabilize America prior to the takeover in which both the Russians and Chinese will unleash a ferocious military assault upon our country.

The high-ranking defector, Sergei Tretyakov, who repeatedly warned Americans that Russia’s core government had never abandoned the Cold War and still aimed to DESTROY the United States. In his later years, he said his main goal was to “wake up” the American people to the deadly threat posed to them by the former Soviet Union. However, America is in a deep sleep that denies a Russian/Chinese attack.

Use the following thoughts and verses as a guideline in your daily prayers for yourself and others. Pray these biblical thoughts faithfully and fervently and they will change the lives of those prayed for.

Guard my heart. Make and keep it pure. Guard my motives, my attitudes, my values, and my responses to the circumstances of life. Protect me from the schemes and attacks of the Evil One.

Fill me with Your love. Help me to love You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Make me compassionate and sensitive to the needs of others around me. Help me to give of myself to meet the needs of others, without expecting anything in return.

Fill me with Your Spirit. May I be emptied of myself and filled with Jesus. May my life be lived in the realm of the supernatural. Anoint my life and ministry with supernatural power.

Cloth me in humility. May I be broken – poor in spirit – toward You and toward all others. May I esteem all others as better than myself. May I not seek to impress others, but only to please You.

Make me a servant. Help me to serve You with gladness; to render each act of service as unto Christ; to joyously accept even “menial” or “unfulfilling” responsibilities. Help me to serve heartily, happily, humbly.

Guard my tongue. “Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips” (Psalm 141:3 KJV). May I speak only words that are true, words that help and heal, words that are wise and kind (Proverbs 31:26).

Give me wisdom and discernment. Help me to see all of life from Your point of view. May my life be ruled by the wisdom of Your Word. Give me the “wisdom that is from above…pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy” (James 3:17 KJV).

Give me a grateful spirit, a thankful heart. Help me to give thanks in everything. Help me to acknowledge and express the benefits and blessings that I have received from You and others. Protect me from a discontented heart and a murmuring tongue.

Help me to walk by faith and not by sight. May my life show the world how great, how good, and how powerful You are. May I be willing to step out in faith when I cannot see the outcome, and may my life not be explainable in human terms.

Teach me the fear of the Lord. Help me to practice the conscious, constant awareness that You see, hear, and know all. Help me to live my life in light of the final judgment and as one who will give account to You.

Brethren:

God expects His people to be constantly watching and guarding the condition of their relationship and walk with Him! The Scriptures are very clear in the following verses:

Matthew 24:42, 44tells us to, “Watch therefore be you also ready.”

Haggai 1:7 says, “Now therefore thus saith the Lord consider your ways!” We are to consider or think carefully and thoughtfully about the things that we think about daily and do! There are consequences for all of our actions. We will reap what we sow in our thoughts, words, and deeds.

Lamentations 3:40, “Let us search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord.” Sin deceives us and causes then our hearts to harden toward the things of the Lord!

Hebrews 3:13, Warns all believers about the danger of any sin. Our responsibility is to be sober and vigilant so that we do not become a casualty of the war that Satan is waging against all of God’s people.

II Corinthians 13:5 instructs us, “Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith, prove yourselves.” We must make sure that we are walking with honesty and integrity in our Christian life!

I Corinthians 11:27-29 tells us that we are to examine ourselves prior to Passover. We must be Holy to properly observe God’s Holy Days, to stay strong in the Lord and walk in Holiness. We need to engage in honest self examination on a regular basis! Self examination is defined as examination of one’s own state, condition, conduct, motives, etc. Scrutiny of one’s own conduct, motives, desires, etc. To examine is to inspect or scrutinize carefully. To observe, test, or investigate to search, probe, explore, study. To properly examine our lives will require praying and asking God to help us as King David did in Psalm 139:23-24. He cried out to god and asked Him to search his heart and try his thoughts and lead him to victory!

It will also require that we spend some serious time in God’s Word on a regular basis so that the Word can guide us, strengthen our faith, and cleanse us from sin.

A few people began to meet with me. After paying rent on a meeting hall, the few donations left helped pay for the printing and mailing of Newswatch Magazine. Some of our readers were now donating to help pay the expenses.

Notice what the Bible says: “Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? Who goes a warfare any time at his own charges? Who plants a vineyard and eats not of the fruit thereof? Or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? Say I these things as a man? Or says not the law the same also? For it is written in the law of Moses, THOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE MOUTH OF THE OX THAT TREADS OUT THE CORN. DOES GOD TAKE CARE FOR OXEN? Or says He it altogether for OUR sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plows [works in the ministry] should plow in HOPE [that someone will support the ministry]: and that he that threshes in hope would be partaker of this hope. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things [tithes, offerings, donations]? If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power [to ask donations]; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. Do you not know that they [Levites] which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar [the sacrificed meat]? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should LIVE of the gospel [donations, tithes, offerings]” (I Corinthians 9:6-14).

Eventually, donations built up to publish Newswatch and go on the smallest radio station in St. Louis. By January 1983, we could afford 50,000 watt radio station KAAY out of Little Rock, Arkansas. It covered 27 states. Donations from listeners of KAAY helped us go to yet another station. Little by little the donations built until we were on about 20 stations. In the late ‘80s you could not drive across America without hearing our program from one to three times a night. The reason we could go on many radio stations is that many of our listeners believed in supporting ministries that were feeding them with BOTH spiritual and prophetic messages!!!

They believed that Abraham was right when he gave a TENTH to Melchizedek, who was a priest of God, and also was Jesus Christ (Hebrews 7).

Today, we are in need of added support because of the economic times we live in. We know there are individuals who could give more support. For some reason, they may think we are rich but that is not the case. We are probably one of the smallest ministries that are doing so much with what we have.

We have had to cut off one night of television because of the lack of donations. TV has become the top media for us, but it cost money. We can’t make up money out of nothing. Only the Federal Reserve Banks can do that.

I remember back in the late ‘90s a man drove about 500 miles with a donation of gold – $38,000.00 worth. He said he made sure he didn’t violate one driving law because the gold might have been confiscated. It was a true blessing!

I remember another time when a Canadian was passing by heading for south Texas. He stopped in for a visit. I told him about barely making it from day-to-day. We were waiting for the mail, so hopefully we could mail our magazine. I told him exactly how much we needed. When we finished opening the mail, it was to the penny what we needed. God has been merciful to us by furnishing what we need. It would be great to have a cushion just in case we need it. That, of course, will depend upon the readership’s generosity.

America gives more to help the poor in the world than all other country in the world. Americans have a generous attitude toward giving to their churches also. Will Jesus Christ inspire your mind to give donations, tithes and offerings to help us reach out to America in its time of need? Most in America have turned their back upon God, but we are crying out to repent and turn back to God. Will you help?
