Land That I Love :: By Nathele Graham

Published on: June 14, 2020 by RR7

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).

As I read the news this morning, I am sickened. The hatred and violence astound me. There’s absolutely no justification for what’s happening in the streets of America. This nation was established by a Constitution, and that Constitution is being shredded by the liberal left as they try to destroy America. A virus was blown out of proportion, and the liberals managed to use it to shut down the world, causing economic hardship. Their goal? A liberal one-world government. What’s standing in the way of that goal? America.

We’re a nation that loves our freedom. That freedom has allowed free enterprise to grow and America to prosper. That’s not good enough for the liberals who want to repress the masses; they want to cripple and destroy this land that I love. There are still enough Christians in America to turn this destruction around. We cannot do it unless we first turn to Jesus.

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16).

Are there any righteous men left in America? Any righteous women? The liberal news would have us believe there are very few. I believe there are many. It’s time for us to put God first, pray, and stand against Satan.

Ahab and Jezebel Clinton (oops, I meant Bill and Hillary) have done their utmost to flaunt the double standards of the elite. Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury and the obstruction of justice, and his behavior in the Oval office was disgusting. Instead of being ousted from office for his many transgressions, he was left in office. Disgraceful. Hillary is as bad. Her handling of the Benghazi murder of our Ambassador, her many email debacles, and the fact that she “channels” Eleanor Roosevelt are enough to discredit her entire political career. The moral character of America took a major nosedive because of the Clintons.

Then came Obama whose Constitutional eligibility to hold office is questionable. He bowed to Muslims, declared America not to be a Christian nation, legalized the sin of homosexuality, promoted abortion, and did what he could to destroy the Constitution and bring the United States of America to an end. When his time in office ended, Jezebel…I mean Hillary…ran for president. She lost. The bid to destroy America was thwarted by intelligent Americans who saw through the liberal lies and understood what their agenda was all about.

Thank God Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States. He brought dignity back to the office. He doesn’t play politics and he doesn’t concern himself with the new world order. He’s a businessman who began to turn the economy of America around and doesn’t bow before Muslim powers. Mr. Trump doesn’t finance Middle Eastern warlords as his predecessors did, but his goal is to enable Americans to prosper. Unemployment figures were down and the economy of America was on an upswing. Skin color wasn’t an issue; anyone willing to work could work. Earning an honest living is Biblical.

“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread” (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12).

If someone is physically unable to work, it’s Biblical to take care of them, but welfare isn’t the first resort. That’s not the way liberals think. The liberals have tried to stop Mr. Trump from helping America to prosper and will stop at nothing to come against him.

Under the Obama Administration, sin was legalized. Murdering unborn babies thrived, and homosexual marriage was legalized. Phrases like “gender fluidity” and “a mother’s choice” entered into our vocabulary and somehow became accepted as valid. Homosexuality is against God, and Scripture says it’s a judgment on a nation that rejects Him. Public schools teach evolution as a fact, and America falls deeper into sin.

“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen” (Romans 1:24-25).

We condemn ourselves when we reject God; it’s brought on by our own actions in accepting lies as truth.

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which is meet” (Romans 1:26-27).

America, the land that I love, has allowed Satan to bring us down because we reject God and embrace sin.

“Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” (Romans 1:29-32).

The liberal agenda is Satanic and will destroy all that’s good. If you condone any act which is contrary to God’s ways, you are part of the problem.

President Trump has re-built America, and the liberal left cannot allow that. The coronavirus didn’t destroy America because of the leadership of a strong President. The left is now pulling out the race card. A white policeman arrested a black lawbreaker. Did that police officer use excessive force? It appears he did and the lawbreaker died. There’s a video of the incident, and it appears that the police officer is guilty, as well as the officers standing by and watching. I say “appears” because, in America, a person is innocent until proven guilty.

The liberals have turned a criminal case into a racial war. The weak-minded are, once again, the tools of destruction. There’s absolutely no way to justify the rioting and destruction of property. These riots are not spontaneous outbursts, but orchestrated battles. Who’s behind them?

Well, who has the money to purchase piles of bricks and distribute them nationwide prior to the rioting? Who has the money to bus rioters from one war zone to another? Who has the backing of Satan in their efforts to destroy America? I’ll just generally name the liberals as the perpetrators of this destruction, but do some research and you come up with some names. They couldn’t care less about black Americans, but create and use the racial issue as a catalyst for division and destruction. If they’re allowed to win this battle, they will turn against everyone regardless of skin color. The rioters are only pawns to be disposed of when the fighting ends. Brothers and sisters, we do not need another Clinton or Obama in the White House.

Can anyone explain to me why people who’ve worked hard to earn a living, who’ve built businesses, who attend worship services, and who contribute to the good of our communities are criminalized while the criminals are allowed to run riot over the nation?

Christians can be fined and/or arrested for not “social distancing” or not wearing a mask while attending worship services, but every night there are riots which destroy lives and property, and those people are allowed freedom to do as they please. Hairdressers who want and need to work are criminalized and banned from working while cities burn because of the true lawbreakers. The Constitution of the United States provides for peaceful assembly, but there’s nothing peaceful about the arson, looting, and violence of these riots.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Article I of the Bill of Rights.

Christians gathering to worship God are strictly regulated in what is preached and how close we can be to each other, while violent and destructive riots aren’t subject to the constitution or any law. They certainly aren’t peacefully assembling. This Amendment also protects the freedom of speech and of the press. The liberals have shredded that one too. Google, Facebook, and YouTube censure those who speak against liberal brainwashing, while a Christian bakery owner is forced to bake a “wedding” cake for homosexuals. Double standards by the liberals are rampant. The liberal media controls the mainstream news, but there are alternative news sources which Christians should pay attention to.

Brothers and sisters, I love America. I love God more. I will continue to speak up for God and use my Constitutional right to protect myself against those who mean me harm.

“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Article II of the Bill of Rights.

The riots and the liberal agenda are not in accordance with the Constitution, but are an effort by those who desire to destroy The United States of America to bring in a new world order.

Scripture teaches that there will be one man who will bring order out of chaos, and all the people will follow him. Is he a good guy? Absolutely not. He’s known by many names in Scripture, but is commonly called the Anti-Christ. He’s waiting for the right time to step in and take over the world. He’s possessed by Satan and will lead all who follow him straight to Hell. God has promised all Christians will be taken to Heaven prior to the Anti-Christ coming to power. In fact, this evil man won’t be revealed until after the Rapture.

“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-10, NKJV).

The Holy Spirit is sealed within every Christian and is restraining the power of Satan. After the Rapture the evil will no longer be restrained. Do you think it’s bad now? As the saying goes, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” If you haven’t accepted Christ for salvation, do it now. The Rapture is only promised to Christians, and it’s our Blessed Hope.

There is good news amidst all of this evil. Jesus Christ is willing to forgive all sin. He shed His blood on the cross of Calvary in order for you to be forgiven. First you have to realize that you are a sinner and repent. That means you’ve changed your mind about embracing sin. You turn away from sin and turn to Christ. Eternity is a long time to regret holding onto hatred and believing lies instead of being filled with the love of God Almighty and knowing the truth.

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Only Jesus Christ can offer you freedom from sin. Not freedom to sin but freedom from it. Give your life to Him now and become a new creation through Him.

God bless America, land that I love. He will bless this land only if we follow Him. Brothers and sisters, stand strong upon God’s word and do not compromise your faith. Be sure that you walk in His ways, not in the ways of sin.

As much as I love America, I love my Home in Heaven more. It won’t be long until we’re called Home, and I look forward to seeing all of you there soon.

God bless you all,

Nathele Graham

Trouble Ahead :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: June 14, 2020 by RR7

When asked about the signs of His coming, part of Jesus’ reply was:

Famines, pestilences, earthquakes, persecution, etc. (Matt. 24:7-9): Coronavirus, locusts, damage churches, synagogues, etc.
Kingdom against kingdom (ethnos against ethnos; people group against people group (Matt. 24:7): could include black race against white race, Sunni Muslims against Shiite Muslims, etc.
Iniquity shall abound (Matt. 24:12): Abortion, gay marriage, riots, deceit, etc.
Like the days of Noah (Matt. 24:37: Great wickedness (Gen. 6:5).
Distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (Luke 21:25): riots and/or storms, hurricanes, etc. (Rev. 17:15).

There now seems to be ample proof that America is the victim of an organized effort to weaken the U.S., and it could signal more trouble between now and the next election.

I have concluded that Antifa, Black Lives Matter, extremist groups and socialists that give large sums of money to the Democrats and their Party (and to a lesser number of Republicans) are tools of the Deep State.

If these people knew Bible prophecy, they would realize that God will let the Deep State succeed, and this submission to Satan is the beginning of an unstoppable worldwide day of trouble on earth (Zeph. 1:15).

Here are ten signs that there is more trouble ahead.

One, on June 2, 2020, Dave Hodges reported that Social Security is at risk, and the impact on Medicare is up in the air because of the Coronavirus lockdown.

Millions of people are out of work and not paying into these funds, but the money is still going out; and some politicians are delaying the economic restart.

Those on Social Security and Medicare need to vote in November and remember the politicians that refused to lift their stay-at-home orders when they were asked to let their citizens go back to work.

Politicians that say hundreds of people marching in the streets, rioting and looting, won’t spread the Coronavirus while refusing to allow churches and businesses to open because of the Coronavirus are clearly not acting in the best interests of our nation.

Two, concerning a global economic collapse in the Tribulation Period, on June 1, 2020, the Congressional Budget Office projected that the U.S. will lose about $16 trillion in GDP over the next 10 years as a result of the Coronavirus shutdown.

As that great sermon says, there is a payday someday.

Three, on May 29, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court essentially ruled that the First Amendment freedom of religion clause in the U.S. Constitution can be set aside by biased public officials.

Chief Justice Roberts wrote an opinion that essentially said it is not unlawful for public officials to discriminate against churches by limiting attendance at church services, even though those same public officials did not limit attendance at bars, stores, theaters, and other places.

As I understand what Roberts said, under certain circumstances public officials must have broad authority to act without being questioned despite the plainly stated freedom of religion clause in the U.S. Constitution.

This kind of distorted thinking is no different from the thinking that says women have a Constitutional right to an abortion.

Setting aside the U.S. Constitution has caused decades of trouble in our nation.

Four, on June 3, 2020, it was reported that a former lawyer in the Obama administration posted a $250,000 bail for the woman accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail into a police car in New York City.

The alleged firebomber is also accused of passing out Molotov cocktails to other rioters and looters.

She was arrested in a van that was carrying bomb-making materials, and police have at least one photograph of her carrying a Molotov cocktail.

It was reported that the former Obama administration lawyer that bailed out the firebomber received scholarships to attend law school from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans (Paul is a nephew of George Soros).

George Soros denies that he is funding riots and looting, but his foundations have contributed millions of dollars to Democrats, Obama, (Hillary) Clinton, Biden, Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

Some will say this article is too political, but it is not hard to find the political affiliation of the officials that protected the rioters and looters while citizens were being injured and killed (mostly black people whose lives didn’t matter to the thugs and politicians that surrounded themselves with security forces), and businesses and police cars were burning, etc.

It is a fact that NY Democrat Mayor DeBlasio’s daughter was arrested, Democrat presidential Candidate Biden’s staffers took up an offering to bail out protesters, and a lawyer in former Democrat Pres. Obama’s administration bailed out a woman accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail into a police car.

On June 6, 2020, six policemen were injured in Seattle by improvised explosives.

Jesus said, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself cannot stand” (Matt. 12:25).

We may well be witnessing a New World Order attempt to divide the U.S., and God may be allowing it because Pres. Trump is pushing for a map that will divide Israel (Zech. 12:3).

People are ignoring God and the Scriptures, and that is the real problem.

Five, perhaps Christians should notice that a church (St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington D.C.) has been torched, a church (St. Patrick’s Cathedral) in NY, two churches (St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and West Broad Church of Christ in Richmond VA) have been vandalized, a Jewish group (Beth Ahabah in Richmond VA) had its windows broken out, and several Synagogues in Los Angeles have been damaged.

The members of these churches and synagogues had nothing to do with the wrongful death of George Floyd (and for whatever it is worth, many black people are not blaming Pres. Trump, because his approval rating is going up with them).

Lawless people with no respect for God desecrated these churches and synagogues, and it is a reminder that the ultimate lawless one (the Antichrist; against the Christ) is coming (II Thess. 2:5-12).

Six, on June 5, 2020, the Minneapolis City Council agreed to disband their police department and replace it with a non-violent public safety group that “doesn’t fear our residents” and “murder black men,” according to one of the council members.

They offered few details about how this will work or when it will start, the Mayor is opposing it, and other politicians (including the Mayor of New York) are talking about defunding the police.

Change is needed; but without the police, lawlessness and anarchy will increase, and former New York policeman, Dan Bongino, predicts that thousands will die.

I am not a prophet, but if politicians go through with this, I predict it will fail, and then they will call for UN troops to be brought in to disarm Americans.

Seven, on May 28, 2020, Prime Min. Netanyahu indicated that he will move forward on the annexation of about 30% of Judea and Samaria on July 1, 2020, and he will accept Palestinian demilitarized rule (but not a state) over part of the Promised Land.

In connection with this, PA leaders are consulting with Arabs, international groups, terrorist groups and others on ways to stop the annexation.

For whatever it is worth, it is my understanding that the PA will not be allowed to have an independent state unless two things happen: 1)They agree to a peace treaty in the next four years (from Israel’s agreeing to it) and 2) They are no longer a threat to the existence of Israel.

Their agreement is not worth the trash that I set out by the side of the road.

Eight, on June 1, 2020, Israeli Defense Min. Gantz ordered the Israeli military to prepare to deal with increased terrorism and violence when Israel annexes part of Judea and Samaria.

He said, “Striving for peace while maintaining security (peace and safety) is foundational for every Israeli citizen.”

Saying “Peace and safety” is a reminder of trouble ahead (I Thess. 5:3).

Nine, on June 1, 2020, it was reported that the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia are holding secret discussions with Jordan’s knowledge to change the makeup of the Islamic Waqf that controls activities on the Temple Mount, with the goal of advancing Pres. Trump’s peace proposal.

Jordan is supposed to appoint, fund and control the Islamic Waqf, and Jordan has often refused to change the process; but Waqf members die, need to be replaced, etc., and some of the newer members have started taking money from Turkey.

Jordan is quietly discussing changes with the U.S., Israel, and Saudi Arabia to get Turkey (non-Arabs) out of the picture.

People should not conclude that this will lead to a rebuilt Temple, but it is linked to Trump’s peace proposal, and it signals a softening of the Islamic position on the Temple Mount.

Saudi Arabia is seeking a better relationship with Israel, and Jewish access to the Temple Mount would be a major breakthrough.

Saudi Arabia is even encouraging the PA to start negotiating Trump’s peace proposal with Israel.

Ten, on June 6, 2020, it was reported that a national emergency has been declared in Pakistan where a locust plague of Biblical proportions is threatening 25 million people with famine.

Look up, lift up your heads; true Christians will escape the worst of the trouble ahead (Luke 21:28).
