"To the kindly influence of Christianity, we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys.
In proportion, as the genuine effects of Christianity and diminished in any nation, either through unbelief, or the corruption of its doctrines in the same proportion will the people of the nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom and approximate the miseries of complete despotism." - Jedidiah Morse

There are actually two messages here. The 1st is very interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. .......65%
England..46%
Canada ..42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S....... 93%
England..15%
Canada ..43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. .......90%
England ..15%
Canada ...43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S. ......,77%
England ..40%
Canada....43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S. .......71%
England ..14%
Canada ...18%

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":
U.S. .......12%
England....2%
Canada ....6%

And now for the last statistic:  National Health Insurance?
U.S. ........NO
England...YES
Canada....YES

Check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt.................... 38%
Taft................................. 40%
Wilson ........................... 52%
Harding........................... 49%
Coolidge.......................... 48%
Hoover ........................... 42%
F. Roosevelt ................... 50%
Truman........................... 50%
Eisenhower..................... 57%
Kennedy......................... 30%
Johnson.......................... 47%
Nixon.............................. 53%
Ford................................ 42%
Carter............................. 32%
Reagan............................ 56%
GH Bush......................... 51%
Clinton ............................ 39%
GW Bush......................... 55%
Obama.............................. 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
- Abraham Lincoln

The Eagle and The Serpents (Pt 2)

A Renewal of Ezekiel’s Call as Watchman is found in Ezekiel chapter 33: The word of the Lord came to me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
And if I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just and right—if they give back what they took in pledge for a loan, return what they have stolen, follow the decrees that give life, and do no evil—that person will surely live; they will not die. None of the sins that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live.

Man's so called wisdom in thinking he knows all that there is to be known has always amazed me. Wisdom is gained from what man has experienced in life but true wisdom comes from God. There is nothing in this life that man can say for a certainty, unless he has seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to his statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, for man to say, "I know God does not exist," just because he personally has not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.

I read Pastor Michael Boldea's message, The Eagle and the Serpents for the first time on Sunday evening, October 17,'04. I read through this message maybe four or five times before praying. I started crying out, "God, the president of Iran has said he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map." I continued, "God, this man may be crazy, but he is smart enough to know that should he strike Israel with this intention, America would most likely strike Iran to do the same. My body shook and I said, "God they have to strike America first and 1000 times that of the 9/11 attack if he thinks he can scare America away from protecting Israel."
I continued in prayer asking God for a confirmation to Brother Boldea's message and to help me to be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit's voice and His presence within me.

The following Thursday night on my return trip out to Boston and back, I stopped in Fremont, IN. for the night. As I walked into the restaurant at the truck stop, another driver who was standing in line to place his order turned to look at me, which caught my attention. Our eyes were still focused on each other as he began to scream at me. He then made a misleading movement, as if he was reaching in his pocket. At the same time I was detecting others in the restaurant who were jumping up from their tables while beginning to scream. Thinking this man had pulled a pistol from his pocket I was turning to my right to run from the restaurant, but it was as if I was moving in slow motion. In the last second before running out I glanced down expecting to see a pistol pointed at my back, but to my relief, I saw his hand at his waist pointing his index finger at me. I finally realized what he was screaming, "I think you have something you need to tell me." I turned towards him and as I was approaching him I said, "Yes, yes, I do have something to tell you."
I told this man how I was led in April 1994 to the prophecies God had given to Pastor Dumitru Duduman and the two confirmations He gave me for these prophecies. I also told this man of the vision God had given the pastor at LaGrange Christian Assembly and the two confirmations given to me to confirm this vision as well.

This man said he had something to tell me and he suggested that we move to a booth. Once seated, He said that God had shown him a vision in 1996. It began with looking through a picture frame and slowly coming in to focus it was as if he was looking down on United States. "Suddenly a puff of white smoke appeared over Southern California," He continued, "I don't run the upper East Coast, but just seconds later there was another puff of white smoke, my guess is maybe the Philadelphia area and seconds later another puff of white smoke and I guessed this as being maybe the Boston area. Suddenly all three areas turned black and the picture disappeared."

I then said, "You have seen the second major terrorist attack." This driver responded, "Then there are two more attacks to come." I said, "Yes, two more major terrorist attacks." I continued to tell him how I read the message God gave Pastor Boldea the Sunday night before and in prayer, I said that it would be 1000 times greater then that of the 9/11 attack. I then added, I was certain God has shown him where the second major attack will be.

Shocked, the driver said, "1000 times greater, that would be..........." I said, "Approximately three million people." He asked, "What do you think they will use?" I told this man that I have been praying on this since Sunday night, and I have come to the conclusion that to kill three million people and to think he can scare America away from supporting Israel; they would most likely use chemical, biological, dirty nuke, suitcase nuke or any combination of the four.

One revelation from God is worth far more than the knowledge gained from all the books in the world written by men who have no understanding or comprehension of the absolute truth of God's WORD. In His great Mercy, God seeks to warn man in order to keep him from His judgment.
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
Sadly, I believe the vast majority will refuse to call upon God's name.

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners —of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:15-16

Today's Bible Lesson

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Psalm 23:1-3 (KJV)

No other livestock requires so much attention as sheep. If they are left alone, they will follow the same trails until those trails become ruts. One sheep may become so engrossed in following its own eating path that it becomes separated from the flock and is lost.

We, by nature, are like sheep, blindly and habitually following the same paths that we have seen ruin the lives of others, or becoming so wrapped up in our won affairs that we lose our way. We turn our backs to the WORD of God and go into the crooked roads, which lead us down the wrong paths towards destruction. We hear the phrase in life of "Living in your own little world." This is so true of us even as Christians at times. We often don't see or won't see that which is going on around us. Scripture refers to the child of God, saying: We like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him {Christ} the iniquity of us all (Is. 53:6). The enemy likes us to be this way because he has his trap laid in wait for us to fall into. The god (Satan) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Cor. 4:4).

There is something almost terrifying about the destructive self-determination of those who refuse to be led in the paths of righteousness (Ps. 23:3 by actually going their own way, even though it has taken others into great trouble.

How many times have we prayed for our Shepherd to lead me in the paths of righteousness, while in our day-by-day conduct, we will refuse to deny self or give up our " or yield our won interests to the interests of others? It is easy to speak one way, but to act in another way entirely. We often will tell the LORD that we hear His Commands and understand. However, God is calling us to do, not just to hear and understand; But be ye doers of the WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22).

If we truly seek God's will, then the offer of the Great Shepherd is still open: I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them., and crooked things straight (Is. 42:16).

Wise Advice

I truely beleive the solutions for all of America's problems can be found within the pages of The Holy Bible.

Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.2 Corinthians 3:16-18

Wisdom and The Truth

Here is something for everyone to think about....

The following is an email from a Christian pastor and as I read through it I was reminded about the fool who says in his heart, "There is no God."

*********************************

During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say.

The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked: Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven.

If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, "Non-believers!"

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'

He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.' I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Muslim was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslim's beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!

***************************************
Now can you understand the importance of listening to the truth? If you are a Christian can you understand the importance of sharing the LOVE of Christ with everyone you meet today?

Man's ignorance in thinking he knows all that there is to be known has always amazed me. True wisdom is gained from what we have experienced in life. There is nothing in this life that you can say for a certainty, unless you have seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to your statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, to say you know God dose not exist just because you personally have not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.

Unrighteous Leaders ~and The Consequences

For those who refuse the truth of God Word there will be consequences for their sins. The range of this accountability will be great and most severe; If you live by the God's Law then you shall die by God's Law! "For the wages of sin is death..."Roman 6:23

God's Law tells us.
"Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him." 1 John 3:15
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:27-28
“‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death." Leviticus 21:10
"They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed .... and the land was desecrated by their blood." Psalm 106:38
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness(AA) who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Proverbs 6:16-19

God's Judgment on Jerusalem’s Sins was spoken through the Prophet Ezekiel while in exile in the land of Babylon and I believe America's judgment will be similar. God is the same today as He was then, as He will be forever and ever.

Abortion is an abomination against God's WORD, it is the shedding of the most innocent blood of all. Anyone that sheds innocent blood is a murderer. Anyone who supports someone who has blood on their hands will also receive the consequences for this action as well. The judgment for murder by God's Law can be nothing less then death.
I will make one more attempt to clarify this statement. By God's Law if you support a politician who has innocent blood on his hands for supporting abortion, then I believe you yourself have received this innocent blood on your hands and the consequences can be nothing less then death. The Old Testament requirement for justice is "an eye for an eye...", but we now live in the age of the New Covenant, the time of Grace for those who have Christ as their Savior.
I am most certain this warning to America can also be extended to the one that supports the politician that supports the Gay Rights agenda. Homosexuality is sexual perversion and an abomination against God's WORD. Abominations against God's WORD can not be wished away. But God promises complete forgiveness of our sins once we sincerely turn from and forsake them. So, praise God they can be forgiven and your sins washed away by the the BLOOD of the LAMB, our LORD and SAVIOR, Jesus Christ. Once again I must make clear that while God hates abortion and homosexuality, He still has love for those involved. It is the action that is an abomination to the Lord and He holds us accountable for those actions. We must remember that all sin is intolerable by God and to compare the seriousness of one sin to another is simply an act of futility. If Jesus didn't die on the Cross for all sins, both small and large, then He would have died in vain. Thankfully that is not the case, His blood cleans us of all sin!

Simply put, Grace can be defined as God's unmerited favor. God's Grace is something God does for the benefit of His people because He loves them. Grace can never be earned, it's totally free. But please understand this, Forgiveness and Grace are not given so one may continue to sin.

The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. Ps. 25:14 (NKJ)

Unrighteous Leaders ~ America

The following came from an email which was sent to me.

**********************************

Should Christians Support President Obama?

Dr. David Barton was on Dr. Charles Stanley's program "In Touch" as a guest speaker. Dr. Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but very famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.

Dr. David Barton - on President Obama

Respect the Office? Yes.

Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Pres. Obama.
Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Pres. Obama!
I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT not for his success.
I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President!
Why am I doing this?

It is because:
- I do not share Pres.Obama's vision or value system for America;
- I do not share his Abortion beliefs;
- I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;
- I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
- I do not share his view that America is Arrogant as he stated to numerous foreign governments;
- I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;
- I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;
- I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegal immigrants than our American Citizens who need help;
- I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;
- I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;
- I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);
- I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the health care system in America;
- I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East;
and
- I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line:
My America is vastly different from Pres. Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right!
For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!
They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!
They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years!
They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!
They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society!
They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code!
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!
Unite behind Pres. Obama? Never!
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!
Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Pres. Obama and his "goals for America ..."
I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country! Any more compromise is more defeat!
I pray that the results of this (Past) election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country!
(Please, please, please, pass this on if you agree. If you don't agree, just delete it.)

Thanks for your time, may you and yours be safe.
"In GOD We Trust"

GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE
Dr. David Barton

The final part to this post contains vital truth that everyone needs to hear is titled; Unrighteous Leaders and The Consequences should be posted in a few days.

Unrighteous Leaders

An Evangelical Christian who strives to be the man that God wants me to be and who is far from being perfect. As God desires of all those who call upon His name, I am required to share what God reveals to me, so that others may hear the truth. I am also required to pray for those who are in authority over me.

I thoroughly believe that Barack Hussein Obama II was God's chosen man to be president because this is the man that Americans deserves at this time. God in His wisdom, as His plan unfolds, chooses both the righteous and unrighteous to be in positions of authority. Of course this is dependant upon the situation and hearts and attitudes of the people. America has become a nation with many who harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in their hearts, they even boast about it or they will deny the truth when the evidence reveals their motives for this unrighteous behavior.
A great many Americans, not only just our leaders, have become prideful and arrogant thinking that there is no nation to rival ours. In their vanity believing that their wisdom, which was all due to their own initiative, has made America great. They have no Fear of the LORD, they may say they believe in God, they may read a Bible, they may even listen to a sermon, but there are virtually no changes or good fruit in their lives to prove there is a belief in Sovereign God.

God is the giver of life, the giver of all good things in life, from wisdom, to understanding. As Christians we should not just choose that which pleases us. We should weigh our thoughts, needs and desires with godly wisdom, so that we would not be found sinning against a Holy and Righteous God.
As a Christian I am called to pray for Pres. Obama and all others in leadership that their hearts may be softened and turned to the One and only True God of all Creation, the God that brought His children out of bondage from the land of Egypt, that they may be the ones to introduce the One True God to all nations. The Israelites failed their commission, to go into all the world to proclaim liberty and freedom from the bondage of sin throughout the land to all its inhabitants; so now God has raised up the Christian church to share His Word with the world.

Woe, to the unrighteous nations, for God judges the corruptible judges and leaders; both in governments and in churches for their iniquities more severely, than that of the people of the nations.

As revealed many times in the Bible, God used several unrighteous leaders in Israel, to draw the hearts of man back to a Holy and Righteous God Who desires only the best for those that seek Him.

If man fails to listen to the truth, will he be held accountable for his actions? Yes! And ignorance of God's moral laws will not be an excuse on Judgement Day.

The second part to this post, titled; Unrighteous Leaders ~ America, should be posted in a day or two.
