Never Understanding/Never Perceiving
A few weeks back, I was sharing the prophecies that God has revealed to me, with a young lady, who promptly told me that she taught at her Christian Church and she made the comment that she didn't think that prophecies were for today.
God gives prophecies as warnings to His prophets to share with the people so that they may know that God is real and that the people might turn away from their sins. Only God can tell the future with a one hundred percent accuracy rate, which no man has done and no man will ever do without God.
I know God's prophecies of warnings for America given to pastors Dumitru Duduman, who wrote "Through The Fire Without Burning," and David R. Wilkerson, who wrote, "Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth," are just as clear and real today for those who wish to hear the truth.
Although sadly, another one of God's warnings is just as true today as it was when Jesus spoke it to His disciples... “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: 'You will be ever hearing, but never understanding; you will be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ This people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.
Many Christians today are compromising with the world, because they have little knowledge or understanding of the Holy Scriptures for lack of reading all of God's WORD. Many say they don't want to be seen as being intolerant and closed minded on subjects such as abortion and homosexuality. Therefore, they are easily deceived by Satan and non-believers and this failure will most likely cost the souls of millions to be lost for all of eternity.
The young lady that I spoke of earlier, also said that she believed that God was a God of LOVE.. I said, "Yes most definitely, but He is also a God of HOLINESS and a God of WRATH, Just and Righteous in every way and if this were not so He would not be a God of LOVE."
Maybe I should have started with the statement that my righteousness is as filthy as rags. Several times through the years I have said, "I highly doubt that anyone can scratch the surface of the depth of sin that I have reached." "For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God;" But with love God has made a way even for someone like me, "Being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
There are possibly millions of Christians that see themselves as being a "Good Christian;" attending church most Sundays, if not every Sunday; and true they don't steal, kill and destroy but their love for God is not as it should be. Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
In reality their hearts are filled with pride in themselves and if this were not so, then tell me why is the divorce rate approximately fifty percent for the Christian community?
The true Christian knows that since Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden, Satan has been considered the prince or god of this world, thus Satan has gained dominion of the world and although ultimately God is in control, Satan is allowed to roam the world to deceive those who do not or will not turn from their sins and acknowledge a belief in the One True God.
Satan's lies and deception has blinded most of the world to the truth of God's WORD and to God's Covenant with Abraham pertaining to the land of Israel.
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
God says, for whoever touches Israel touches the apple of His eye... He will bless those who bless Israel and He will curse those who curse Israel....
America is cursed whether you wish to believe this or not it will make no difference, natural disasters and terrorist attacks will most likely intensify with great destruction and much greater death tolls.
The World is in Great Turmoil
Evil lurks in the heart of man, "For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood." Proverbs 1:16. And it is just as Jesus said: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains."
We Christians must always remember our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await our Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body.
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him Who is True. And we are in Him who is true—even in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the True God and Eternal Life.... And with Him, we have life!
Brothers and sisters in Christ, please ask your non-Christian friends, if they were chosen to be a jurist in a murder trial your responsibilities would be to listen closely to all the evidence that is given and than after a very careful evaluation of all evidence given, you would decide as to the truth of guilt or innocence of the person on trial, knowing fore well that your decision could mean life or death for this person on trial so you most likely would take great cautions to be certain of your decision of guilt or innocence..... Is your life and your eternal soul not worth the same careful search of the evidence to prove or disapprove the truth to the existence of God?
They are willing to accept scientific evidence that proves a great number of things when it pertains to the subjects that they wish to consider, but they then refuse to accept the evidence put forth by the Holy Scriptures; which were written hundreds or even thousands of years earlier before they were proven to be accurate by recent scientific discoveries.
My answer to this is that inspired by the Holy Spirit, 'King David wrote, 'The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”' Psalm 14:1. And King Solomon wrote, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7.
Other than the Bible, the books, "The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for Creator, and The Case for the Real Jesus," all authored by Lee Strobel, who was a atheist, are filled with proven facts for the existence God and the Divinity of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
With great LOVE, "He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will— to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s Grace." Ephesians 1:5-7
There is no grace and forgiveness in any other religion that I know of and I for one need an unlimited amount of grace and forgiveness and that comes from only Christ Jesus.
"I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the Good News of God’s Grace." And to share the Love of Christ with those that will listen to me.

The Rules In Chicago
Remember the Rules In Chicago
When good men do nothing, evil triumphs. Evil, sin and sinful men must be opposed. God commands those who are good, not just to avoid evil but actively oppose it.
Christians are to not only to "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but (also) reprove them" (Eph. 5:11). Those who do nothing about sin and evil, help the sin and evil to prevail. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.
In the days of Elijah, the silence of many had allowed the evil of Ahab and Jezebel to prevail throughout the land of Israel. "Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing.
(1 Kings 18:21).
The silence of the people spoke volumes of their indecisiveness and inaction. Their failure to stand up, speak up and speak out permitted wicked and evil men to run rampant.

Wise Man that Thomas Jefferson!
Wise Man that Thomas Jefferson! There will never be another like him!Thomas Jefferson was a remarkable man who began his learning very early in life and never stopped.
At 5, he began studying under his cousins' tutor.
At 9, he studied Latin, Greek and French.
At 14, he studied classical literature and additional languages.
At 16, he entered the College of William and Mary.
At 19, he studied Law for 5 years, starting under George Wythe.
At 23, he started his own law practice.
At 25, he was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses.
At 31, he wrote the widely circulated, "Summary View of the Rights of British America," and retired from his law practice.
At 32, he was a Delegate to the Second Continental Congress, where he wrote the seminal document, “Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms.”
At 33, he wrote the Declaration of Independence.
At 33, he took three years to revise Virginia's legal code, wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom.
At 36, he was elected the second Governor of Virginia, succeeding Patrick Henry.
At 40, he served in Congress for two years.
At 41, he was the American minister to France and negotiated commercial treaties with European nations along with Ben Franklin and John Adams.
At 46, he served as the first Secretary of State under George Washington.
At 53, he served as Vice President and was elected president of the American Philosophical Society.
At 55, he drafted the Kentucky Resolutions and became the active head of the Republican Party.
At 57, he was elected the third president of the United States .
At 60, he obtained the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation's size.
At 61, he was elected to a second term as President.
At 65, he retired to Monticello .
At 80, he helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.
At 81, he almost single-handedly created the University of Virginia and served as its first president.
At 83, he died, on the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, the same day as his lifelong friend, John Adams…100 miles apart. Adams last words were, “Jefferson lives.”
Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself had studied the previously failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, God's laws, and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. His is a voice from the past to lead us into the future.
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." …a paraphrase of the last sentence of the Eulogy delivered by Governor Morris (of New York ) at Jefferson’s Funeral: “The greatest collection of Logical Minds in the history of the World was when Jefferson lay dying alone in his Room.”
"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." Thomas Jefferson
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes, a principle which if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the world." Thomas Jefferson
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
Thomas Jefferson
"No free man shall ever be deprived the use of arms." Thomas Jefferson
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." Thomas Jefferson
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Appeasing Radical Islam
Obama appeases radical Islam over Israel's future
Dr. Michael Youssef - Guest Columnist - 5/24/2011 8:35:00 AM OneNewsNow
Much has been said about President Obama's narcissistic tendencies. He clearly demonstrates his thin skin by throwing reporters out of the press pool and censoring others; even going so far as to attack some news organizations and personalities by name. All of this is, of course, part and parcel of the major characteristics of narcissism, namely detesting those who do not admire or agree with you.
But perhaps there is no greater danger than the expression of that narcissism when it impacts foreign policy. This is indeed tragic, that one person's (even though he is the President of the United States) own selfish tendencies can impact world peace.
Possibly there is no larger issue than his deep desire and determination to ingratiate himself with, and to be liked and adored by, the Muslim world.
This characteristic was manifested in his Cairo One speech in June 2009 when he quoted what he calls the Holy Quran several times, and yet he never mentioned the Bible. But under his breath he mumbled the words, I'm a Christian.
Desiring to be liked by people that you personally admire or identify with is part and parcel to the behavior of a narcissist.
In order to befriend Muslim believers in the Middle East, Mr. Obama was the first American president to publicly scold our friend, Israel, and then pressure them by demanding that they must return to the 1967 borders. This was music to the ears of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, to say nothing of all of Israel's haters.
Historically, Israel has demonstrated willingness to exchange land for peace when its security is guaranteed. They returned the huge Sinai Peninsula to Egypt -- even after the advancements they had made in the oil and gas industries -- when they were guaranteed peace with Egypt. So the question is: how can they return the Golan Heights to Syria when the Syrian government does not even acknowledge that Israel exists? Not only does Israel become totally exposed and without defense if they return the mountain range to hostile Syria, but the desire for the masses to march on Jerusalem from all four sides of the borders is more likely to become a reality.
To his credit, President Obama paid lip-service to the fact that you cannot negotiate with people who do not acknowledge your existence, but he seemed to do so only for the appearance of being even-handed.
What makes things worse in his May 19th speech, which has been dubbed "Cairo Two," is that our president offered billions of dollars to Egypt for their infrastructure. One has to ask, is this TARP for Egypt?
TARP did not work in the United States, so how in the world would it work in a country that is absolutely choking with bureaucracy and crooked leadership?
Mubarak's skimming of the cream of the American aid will be replaced by another class of skimmers. The poor people, whom the president claims to care for, will not get a single drop. I am well aware of what's happening on the ground there and it isn't pretty.
My advice to the president of this great country is this:
Replace the pro-Islamist advisers who seek Islamist approval over upholding America's core values and its legacy. But above all, get advisers who speak the truth and whose motivation is transparent.

Here is a message from DR. Evans with the Jerusalem Prayer Team
************************
A Jewish Response to the Islamic Boycott
As I was celebrating Yom Yerushalayim—Jerusalem Day—yesterday, I received a great piece of news that I wanted to share with you. As you may have seen, a short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim world to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people. In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:
"A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube. Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jew, Alfred Einhorn. If a Muslim has diabetes, he must not use insulin, the result of research by Oskar Minkowski, a Jew.
"Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Paul Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test was the discovery of a Jew.
"Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate to treat them. Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the "Schick" reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.
"They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine was a Jew, Jonas Salk. Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.
"Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frankel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts."
That highlights pretty well how much the Jewish people have contributed to the world—yet they have so many enemies today committed to their destruction. We must stand with the Jewish people now more than ever—and I'm asking for your help today...asking you to stand with the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we stand for Israel.
After much prayer, we have designated the month of June as "Bless Jerusalem Month." Your gifts this month will go to bless the Holy City of Jerusalem—elderly Holocaust victims, terror victims, Jewish refugees living in poverty, and much more.
You are the watchman God has placed on the walls of Jerusalem. "I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth." (Isaiah 62:6-7)
Many of the Jews in Jerusalem have been brought back to Israel through the hands of Gentiles in fulfillment of prophecy, "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, And set up My standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders…'" (Isaiah 49:22)
Jerusalem is God's delight, His royal diadem, His firstborn, His chosen, His beloved. He declares, "For he who touches you touches the apple (pupil) of His eye." (Zechariah 2:8) Jerusalem is the only city where God has promised to prosper those who love it. (Psalm 122:6)
I will be in the Holy City the latter part of June to present your gifts to the Jewish people. I also will be meeting with the Mayor of Jerusalem and with the Prime Minister.
Throughout the Muslim world, violent demonstrations are going on as protestors spit, shake their fists, and scream the word "nakba" (catastrophe). They demand that Jerusalem be taken from the Jews to be the next Islamic capital. While the enemies of the Jewish people are cursing them, you will have an opportunity in honor of Jerusalem Day to bless her. "I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curses thee." (Genesis 12:3)
I am asking every Jerusalem Prayer Team member this month to be part of this "Bless Jerusalem Month." We are praying that at least 3,000 will respond to this urgent call to touch the hearts and lives of hurting people in Jerusalem. So far, 50 loving hearts have responded to this plea for help. The name of every person who contributes to this campaign will be engraved in the Holy City. Those names will be there until the Messiah appears in His glory: "When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory." (Psalm 102:16)
Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team makes it possible for us for to continue to rally believers to stand with Israel, to speak out to leaders of our nation and the world in defense of Israel, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs of the Jewish people. Thank you so much for being part of the team.
Modeh ani l'faneykha, melekh chai vekayam; rabbah emunatekha.
I thank you living and eternal King; great is your faithfulness.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,
Dr. Michael Evans

A Jewish Response to the Islamic Boycott
As I was celebrating Yom Yerushalayim—Jerusalem Day—yesterday, I received a great piece of news that I wanted to share with you. As you may have seen, a short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim world to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people. In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:
