The Day to Turn Around

I've written before around this time of year. I've written about Halloween and what this day means to the world and to Christians. I posted that writing on my old website and so I will try to avoid going off on a tangent about the horrors (excuse the pun) of this day. Besides the fact that it's Satan's day of celebration and the fact that many people don't have a clue what kind of satanic junk happens on this day because to them it's just a day to have fun, this day is like any other day. Oh, I forgot to mention the many animal sacrifices which take place by those who have been taken captive by Satan to do his will and the many kids that will die or be abducted because they are wrapped up with other people who are held captive by Satan to do his will and go to drinking parties. These are true horrors of this day and yet many sick things happen every day. This sadly is reality but many of us forget that each day we forget God, neglect prayer, reading our Bible and taking opportunity to fellowship with other Believers, etc. that the devil gets another win in our life. This happens all the time too.

My prayer is that we as Christians get back to fighting the war against the enemy. I speak to myself in writing this because lately the battles have seemed quite heavy and intense. You probably will agree. If you said you agree, I would also hope you would see the need to support each other. We get caught up in this thing called 'life' and pretty soon Satan pulls another fast one on us and before we know what hit us, he strikes again and again and then we're nearly buried. We can't let this happen if we call ourselves Christians.

How often do you ask yourself, if you really trust Christ for everything during everything that is happening whether good or bad? If I say I believe He is the Creator of the Universe and I trust God Almighty to sustain me then why do I neglect His things? Recently, I was reading about Jesus Christ being our Advocate in time of sin etc.. Read 1 John 2; 1 John 4. Think about this---We get to talk to the Creator of the Universe through Jesus Christ who is Lord over all and yet we in many cases are letting Satan have his way in our lives. Something doesn't seem right with this picture. We call upon Christ and call Him Lord and yet we let Satan win the battles. We should be crushing Satan through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit within us. But we're not.
We're not crushing him because we are getting our eyes on stuff. Life stuff. We're not going after God. We're choosing the stuff we want and the stuff we love in the world instead of what God wants and desires for us. We don't need Halloween to get us distracted. We have each day filled with distractions. Knowing all this, let me borrow a term I recently heard from a presidential candidate that is we need to "be on the offense". We need to go on offense rather than be on defense because than it's probably to late to beat the attack.

Let gets ready for the attack we are going to be confronted with before we're already engaged. When the temptation comes or as I call it--- when the attack arrives, attack back through Christ's supernatural strength in you!
I want to ask that we each pray after you read this. I will pray right now about asking God to revive us to want to please Him and stop pleasing ourselves. Admittedly, I've been struggling with believing in the power of prayer but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be praying before the attack arrives. A command from Scripture is to pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17


Additional Note:
Humboldt County (along with the world) is under a great blanket of deception by the power of Satan. But the power of God is ultimately greater.
I've been told an interesting thing. Arcata use to be called Union town and it wasn't about labor unions. The union was referring to the biblical concept of the Godhead (the Trinity)---God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Apparently, I've been told Arcata had been a vibrant town of Christians.

God is greater than Satan and God wants to use willing vessels to serve Him. Are you willing and ready?


Scripture Post for today 1 John 2:1
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Al Gore Wins a Prize and the World Rejoices

Al Gore wins a Nobel Peace Prize and the politically correct world population rejoices. Mr. Gore won his peace prize for his global indoctrination of man-made climate warming and radical environmentalism infused into the education system. Is what is amazing to me is that Al Gore isn't an expert on weather (aside from his inventions) but many people nevertheless think of him as a god-like champion able to save the earth. More amazing to me, yet admitted it's no surprise that what Al Gore proposes through his Global Warming/Climate change crusade is actually, on the surface, the opposite of what human beings innately believe.

Here is why this is true: We are a sin loving people and we want to do what is right in our own eyes as is recorded in the Bible. Since we are pride filled humans at birth we naturally rebel against rules. We do not want a higher power to be outside of ourselves to tell us we are not the master of our own destiny and what to think, believe or obey. This higher power outside of ourselves is the key point.

So guess what? The Global warming crowd with Mr. Gore as their earthly leader come up with some rules for you to follow to make you seemingly feel good and important. First, you must believe you are destroying the planet and so there must be put in place, some things you are going to get to do to "save the planet". In fact you must be told how to think and believe about everything. Mr. Gore's church of global warming tells us through the mass media machine, you and I have the power to save the planet but only after you do many things the "church" deems most necessary. The standard is made up.

You must get different computers, use alternative energy sources whether it works or not. Get new "special" light bulbs, stop burning your trash, smoking is ok, smoking marijuana is ok, everything you have must be recycled except cutting down trees because trees are part of the earth we are trying to "save", use plastic, use paper, stop using plastic, stop using paper, don't drink and drive, stop driving, walk only, running might be ok but hold off until further research is done, eat organic, don't eat the worms, save the bugs, don't run, don't drive the kind of car you drive, ride a bike, don't ride just any bike but get a Gore approved "eco-friendly" bike, do the same with your car. Save everything including whales. Discard human babies should they become inconvenient. Remove God from everything, start by removing the word God from "God's word"( the Bible). Stop teaching God's word but respect other books.
Don't believe the Ten Commandments are God's standard of perfection, believe us instead, stop praying in public, stop praying to Jesus Christ, don't believe Jesus Christ is God, don't believe Jesus Christ is the only to Heaven. Don't believe Jesus is God and fullfilled the perfect standard of the Ten Commandments. Question the resurrection. Religion is ok, worship any gods which make you feel most comfortable---you get to choose.
Don't worship the God of the Bible, instead worship the earth, believe in human evolution, don't believe God created the world (God has been removed remember?), drink pure bottled water, drinking alcohol is ok, getting drunk is ok, don't use Hitler's or Muhammad's name as a cuss word, it's ok to take the name of the Lord Jesus in vain, respect the god of Islam and Muhammad, question everything but do all that we at the "church of global warming and evolution" have decided for you without God.

All of this may seem somewhat contradictory to the view of "doing what is right in one's own eyes" but it's not. You see, what Al Gore's church is teaching is that by attempting to keep Jesus Christ as Lord out of your life, you keep his and your comfort gods in. You likewise fulfill his mission and purpose of existence.
He is promoting the old idea that if it could be possible that we as mere human beings were in fact in control of anything and everything, then we would truly be master of our futures and the God of the Bible would not have to be worshiped as Creator and Lord of all. Jesus Christ wouldn't be the Master but we would be. The world is not a stranger to this fact whether it will publicly admit it or not.

The reason? Satan who controls them is their god. (2 Cor. 4:4, 1 John 4:3, 2 John 1:7) He is disguised in many forms---from the many gods in world religions to Religion itself yet he ultimately is going to face God and be defeated. Satan would love nothing more than to see everyone and anyone do and think anything except believe in the only One who must be given praise and worshipped. He who IS Lord of lords and King of kings--- the Lord Jesus Christ.



(Important note: The Christian's duty is to be a good steward of the earth. We do not have the power to destroy or save the planet because God is the One in control and the One over all things---whether destroyed or made new.
We more importantly should be concerned about our own salvation, the salvation of others and where we are going when we die---is it Heaven or Hell? Take the test at www.areyougood.us)

The Condescension and Arrogance of those who Hate God

A simple example of righteousness under attack is what can be seen happening more and more each day in government in the mainstream media. American conservatives Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Micheal Savage are all under constant attack by the liberal left for having many Biblical based views. This past week, Rush Limbaugh has been falsely accused in the United States Congress and Senate because he has openly supported the troops and has referred to the Democrat party as a defeatist party and anti patriotic in the past. Rush Limbaugh has discussed openly his love for our country's foundation on Christian values, support of the troops, the war effort in fighting terrorism and his personal Conservative Christian values. He openly talks about the condescending, arrogant attitudes of those who do not believe in the Creator God of the Bible. This point alone I believe hits liberals and all non Christians hardest.

To believe in someone bigger than ourselves, one in whom we are ultimately accountable to goes against everything a sinner's pride believes to be true. We want to be as Satan said in the Garden of Eden "like god" and more importantly god and master of our own destiny. The un repentant sinner in fact doesn't even want to be called a "sinner" but rather do what Israel did in Judges 21:5--- 'everyone did what was right in their own eyes.' The Word of God the Bible, flies in the face of such earthly philosophy and speaks directly to the pride of the human heart and says: No, you are not god but you must worship the one true God, Creator and Maker of life through Jesus Christ because He is Lord of lords and King of kings. (1 Timothy 6:15-16, Revelation 19:16) (Deuteronomy 12:8)

If Christian conservative values being discussed on the public airways are come under attack by those on the left, I believe that there would be a great popular demand for Jesus Christ Himself to be re tried, re accused without cause and re murdered should He return upon the earth today.
This is an awful truth for Christians to realize, but it is something I believe all true Christians who love the Lord Jesus Christ should and will recognize. We should, if we haven't been already, willing to stand up against the evil which is continually vomited out of the mouth of those who publicly and secretly hate God and righteousness. We should do as the scripture say: to 'expose them' (Ephesians 5:11). Jesus said we would be hated because of His name.(Luke 21:17) And since we ARE hated, imagine the hatred for Christ even to death. (John 15:18)

The times we live seem chaotic at times but God is using the events of the day for His ultimate glory. Let us each pray for this country and not stop proclaiming the Gospel of Christ which is the only hope this world has before Judgment day arrives.
