One Nation Under God: United We Stand, Divided We Fall :: By Vanessa P.

Our nation means so much to so many people because our Founding Fathers fought with blood, sweat and tears to make us a beacon of hope to all other nations. We fought for our freedom, won our freedom and have now given our freedoms away.

America was founded by God-fearing men who intended to have a nation of the same, who respected and understood the rule of law. We are not a democracy; we are a Republic. A democracy equals mob rule. Our Founding Father’s had a different vision for this nation. It was all about the individual, and HIS RIGHTS. Sadly, the individual rights in this country have eroded since the assassination of JFK. Our government, led by the left, has slowly destroyed this nation from the inside out.

Bipartisanship among Democrats and Republicans ended with the election of William Jefferson Clinton. Better yet, it disappeared from the landscape of American politics during his corruption-filled presidency.

The Democrats and RINOS like Mitt Romney aka “Pierre Delecto” created the swamp that swallowed Washington whole. It took corrupt Washington politicians twenty-five years to absolutely destroy American exceptionalism. To destroy the heart of America. Our manufacturing industry.

Men in America couldn’t find jobs because our politicians gave those same jobs to men in China or Mexico. Blue-collar jobs became hard to come by as factories began closing down in city after city. While men and women in America struggled to put food on the table, China began prospering. Japan began prospering. Canada began prospering. And Americans were struggling to put gas in the car to get to work some weeks.

Americans who felt secure in their own jobs didn’t mind buying that cute little Toyota, but let me ask you this. How many Fords or Chevys are on the streets of Japan? While Americans bought foreign cars, we were basically selling out our American automakers for a cheaper sticker price.

Who was instrumental in outsourcing jobs to China? Bill Clinton. Thanks to “free trade” and his demands that China be let into the WTO. Clinton then freely closed our manufacturing down and traded the American economy. Why? It’s all about the Benjamin’s, baby!

How else could one enter the halls of Congress or the Oval Office and become a millionaire? Benjamins. Quid Pro Quo anyone? Joe and Hunter Biden? Ever notice how the children of Democrats always end up in the best schools, best Ivy League colleges and, of course, the best jobs? Don’t know a thing about energy? That’s ok! Here’s eighty thousand dollars a month to be a traitor to your nation.

What’s more, the college campuses have become “safe spaces” from the real world. Free speech is dead and the mere thought of hearing an opposing point of view is “dangerous.” These colleges are filled with left-leaning Democrats who haven’t had to work a day in their lives. These white liberals live in the privilege that they rail against. What’s good for them is not so good for you.

The problem with the Democrat Party is it’s full of Democrats. The party of hatred and corruption since 1828. President Trump’s election didn’t create hatred for the American people and the American way of life; it revealed it.

Tulsi Gabbard’s tweet hit the nail right on the head. It’s the moral rot and warmongering attitude of people like Hillary Clinton that set the Middle East on Fire. Bush 1 and 2, along with Barack Obama, forced “regime” change throughout the Middle East, resulting in the Arab Spring and the rise of ISIS.

Who suffered the most? Who was being burned alive in cages, drowned in rivers, raped, tortured and tormented? Christians. And as they fled for their lives, Obama turned them away. The blood of the Saints is on our hands, just as Revelation said it would be.

Christians were murdered by ISIS, and the media refused to say exactly who it was that ISIS targeted. The Jordanian pilot wasn’t murdered because he ended up in his enemy’s hands; he was set on fire because he was a Christian.

“I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement” (Rev. 17:6).

George W. Bush gave us the “Patriot Act” in the name of safety, and Obama kicked open the doors of socialism. Recent polls show nearly half of America wants socialism. Before Obama, socialism was frowned upon, laughed at even. It was the far-left goofballs yelling for anarchy not to be taken seriously.

America freed millions of people enslaved under socialism and fascism. Tens of millions of people died, and this generation thinks it can’t happen to them. As long as it’s only Syrians and Iraqis being killed, most Westerners don’t care.

Obama was our first black president, and because of that, the media gave him a pass for eight years. Remember when Obama said that those not in line with his ideologies were just clinging to their guns and Bibles?

With that one comment, in the beginning of his administration, Christians should have known it would be a long presidency. We sat back and allowed him to begin our decline.

Our Founding Fathers warned against giving up liberty for safety. They also said, if we gave up liberty for that safety, we deserve neither.

Benjamin Franklin famously said, “Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

The Democrat party didn’t start rewriting history only recently; they began decades ago with the lie of the “big switch.”

This big switch has Republicans as the party of racism. It has Republicans voting against civil rights. The Democrats that were in Congress forty years ago during the civil rights era haven’t changed. Ask Joe Biden; he was a Democrat then and is a Democrat now. There was no switch, not how they mean anyhow. The big switch was when a near 100% of the black population, who were Republican, switched to being Democrat due to the same lies we hear today.

The left has been the anti-war party since the sixties. Oddly enough, they’ve thrown five decades of anti-war policy right out of the window with the election of Donald Trump.

In 1968 the United States began a moral decline with the Democrats leading the way. Saul Alinsky was coaching young college student, Hillary Clinton, on how to accomplish the task of fundamentally changing America.

He taught her that the word “enemy” puts the people on the side of the organizer. Once you point out a common enemy and put all the troubles at their feet, the people will listen to what you have to say.

Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow process that takes strategy and time. He knew that in order to penetrate institutions such as churches, political parties and school committees, activists had to get on the boards and be put in a position of decision-making. These infiltration tactics were made famous by Stalin and Lenin. People like Bill Clinton cut their hair, donned a suit and ran for governor. I’m sure Hillary gave him a push.

When speaking of future activists, Alinksy said they “must first rub raw the resentments of the people; fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy, people are not concerned enough to act.”

Alinsky drove home the point that there must be a “target upon which to center the attacks.”

He stressed to his activists that there is no possible bridge between them and their chosen enemy. He taught that they must never humanize the target by pointing out good qualities. They must demonize at all costs. “Before men can act,” he said, “an issue must be polarized. Men will act when they are convinced their cause is 100 percent on the side of the angels, and that the opposition are 100 percent on the side of the devil.”

Starting to sound familiar?

Everyone who disagrees with the left is called a racist, and yet they have fought to keep the black community on their mental plantation with free government money, food, housing, childcare and abortion. They tell them they aren’t smart enough to get an I.D. and need extra help to get jobs. Sounds pretty racist to me.

After the Civil War, the most popular name for newly born black boys was Abraham and George. Newly freed slaves celebrated the Union’s victory. They were FREE. It took the United States less than ninety years to abolish slavery in all of the United States. Slavery ended and blacks began to thrive because of the constitution, not in spite of it. In the Democrat-controlled Deep South, though, they continued to struggle.

How is it that all white men are racist and responsible for racism when it was white men in the North that fought to free them? Why is it that slaves fled to the Republican North? They fled from the Democrat policies that continued to oppress them.

Bill Clinton skated onto the national scene in 1991. During his campaign announcement, he told us what we wanted to hear, but he had other plans. The Clintons began the long and slow process of destroying the Republic of America by ignoring our constitution. Each president afterwards continued doing the same, getting more and more brazen with executive actions.

The left has fought for decades to convince the black community that Republicans hate them and are working against them. The Republicans had a 130-year history of fighting against racism to being the racists in a twenty-minute speech by Bill Clinton. He accused the Republicans of fighting against the black community. Never mind that it was the Democrat Party to actually vote against civil rights. He used a page right out of the Alinsky playbook. He found an easy target in the Republican Party.

Clinton said:

“For 12 years the Republicans have tried to divide us, us in this crowd today, race against race. They want us to be angry at each other so we won’t be mad at them. They want us to look at each other across a racial divide, fixated on one another so we cannot turn our heads and look to the White House and say, “Why are all our incomes going down? What is happening to all of our jobs? Why are we all losing our future?… Well, here in the shadow of this great building, all of us, we know all about race baiting. They have used that old tool on us for decades now, and I want to tell you one thing; I understand this tactic and I will not let them get away with it in 1992.”

He understood this tactic because he was a lifelong Democrat from the old Deep South. This speech was right out of Alinsky’s playbook. This was to unite under the Democrat party and demonize the “alt-right” as Hillary called us. We’ve been demonized for nearly three decades. The Democrats have had the corner market on the black vote because Republicans didn’t fight back, until President Trump.

Which is why the Democrats have become so unhinged. They have ruled Washington for years, even with a Republican president. The support for Trump by black voters has increased substantially. Why? Because fighting back with the truth is beginning to prevail. Not to mention their high crimes, misdemeanors and treasonous activities are being uncovered.

Former President Clinton went on to say:

“I refuse to be part of a generation of Americans that celebrates the death of communism abroad with the loss of the American dream here at home. I refuse to be part of a generation of Americans that fails to compete in the global economy and so condemns hard-working, middle-class Americans to a lifetime of struggle without reward or security.”

Clinton told us open trade would bring jobs to America; he hit at that fierce American pride, and we swallowed it up. It was a campaign lie to counter George H.W. Bush’s “New World Order” speech. Americans didn’t want a New World. They didn’t want what has come to be called Globalism.

He went on to say:

“The historic events in the Soviet Union have taught us a very important lesson. National security begins at home, for the Soviet empire did not ever lose to us on the field of battle; it rotted from the inside out… It rotted from economic and political and ultimately from spiritual failure….”

On the fourth day of his presidency, he used executive action to undo the Bush/Reagan-era abortion and family-planning policies. He made it easier to murder babies, and Hillary Clinton was the backbone of it all. During the Clinton era, abortion became known as “reproductive rights.”

This is Orwellian newspeak. Reproductive rights sounds so much nicer than ABORTION.

The terms “doublethink,” “thoughtcrime,” “Newspeak,” “Thought Police,” “Room 101,” and “Big Brother” have all become synonymous with a futuristic and terrifying world where the government rules your every movement, even what you are thinking. You’re re-educated to think like the ruling class or elites. Look around you. You’re living 1984 already; watch what you say and how you say it. Don’t want to “offend” anyone.

Matthew 24:10 “And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.”

George Orwell’s book was assigned reading for many high school students over the years, and yet these same people let it happen to them right under their noses. Almost seems like a sick game “the powers of this world” played.

When speaking on his book 1984, George Orwell’s final words, just before he died, were as follows:

“The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”

With newspeak, the left has slowly destroyed the meaning of Christmas, Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, and Easter. They’ve demonized Veteran’s Day and booed at President’s Day.

Since Roe V Wade, millions of babies have been murdered, and it’s due to leftist policies. How can America think God won’t punish us for this alone?

The Democrats, for decades, strategically placed newly arrived immigrants into Republican cities and counties. Over three million immigrants were given legal citizenship under Bill Clinton, which helped open the flood gates to illegals. We have lost count as to how many illegal immigrants are currently in this country. Some estimates are over thirteen million, not including DACA recipients and those on visas. Obama also made it easier for taxpayers to support them.

These illegal immigrants “flee” their own countries but bring the same mindset with them. If they don’t integrate and become American, like immigrants in days past, then they will not learn to Love nor respect this country. The effects that this has brought to our nation is obvious. We have people waving flags from their country while demanding free stuff from this country.

What happened to John F. Kennedy’s famous quote of “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?” Those days are long gone. Now people come here with their hands out, and YOU are footing the bill.

Under his presidency, school prayer was under attack. Under George Bush, the Ten Commandments came under attack. Today, America is under attack.

“And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, ‘Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!’” (Revelation 18:2).

The Republic of the United States is falling due to the decay of our moral structure; our economy is living on borrowed time due to our representatives selling us out for decades. The cultural differences are not being bridged because many of the illegal invaders, especially Muslims, refuse to integrate.

We have congresswomen actively seeking ways to go against our Commander in Chief. Ilhan Omar allegedly went so far as to attend the Antifa rally in her home state with her married boyfriend. Yet there is silence on this very serious issue. That’s treasonous behavior for a sitting member of Congress.

Judge for yourself.  https://www.facebook.com/mfamediagroup/videos/638335670025020/?hc_location=ufi

“The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:12-13).

The world leaders today are being led by a spirit of darkness. By a spirit of Babel. Globalism is that same spirit. God destroyed the Tower of Babel just as He destroyed Babylon, and just as he will destroy The Great Harlot or Whore.

The hatred by the left is continuing to grow on a daily basis. Hatred for Trump has exposed the darkness around us. Not just in the United States, but abroad. The end-time world beast hates Mystery Babylon, the “Whore” of Revelation, just as the rest of the world hates the United States.

“And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire” (Revelation 17:16).

The rest of the civilized world at least pretended to love us, until the election of Trump. Prior to his winning the presidency, the United States was paying to protect the rest of the world and getting nothing in return. Trump questions why we are protecting people from Russia when they are doing business with Russia. Germany anyone?

Pence recently condemned Germany for its Nord Stream 2 pipeline deal with Russia. “We cannot ensure the defense of the West if our allies grow dependent on the East.” He also condemned the European Union for supporting Iran and for trying to get around U.S. sanctions. His comments were mostly directed at Germany. He went on to say, “The time has come for our European partners to stop undermining U.S. sanctions against this murderous revolutionary regime.”

European leaders, with Germany and France leading the way, are trying to stand on their own and away from America now that we’ve left their globalist coalition. There has been a recent flexing of muscles in the EU, with Macron calling for a united European army.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that Germany must “assert itself in the world of tomorrow.” “We have to work with even more strength to build a sovereign, powerful Europe,” he said.

In the past, the Munich Security Conference has been nothing but hugs and kisses from globalists across the world. In years past, European leaders pretended things were going great with America. This year, nobody cared enough to pretend. Their hatred for us is beginning to show.

Under the Democrats’ leadership, we made shady back-room deals with foreign leaders. We sold off our plutonium, we overthrew governments, and we meddled in foreign elections (Obama in Israel anyone?). We allowed Americans to be murdered in Benghazi and have forced Israel to stand down to her enemies.

“For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon An assembly of great nations from the north country, And they shall array themselves against her…” (Jeremiah 50:9).

“Behold, a people shall come from the north, And a great nation and many kings…” (Jeremiah 50:41).

The United Nations consists of many nations and many kings, all with a fake friendship with America.  President Trump exposed who our friends really are, and we don’t have many. Justin Trudeau unbelievably won re-election; he’s a known globalist with a soft spot for Islamic terrorists.

“A sword is against their horses, Against their chariots, And against all the mixed peoples who are in her midst; And they will become like women…” (Jeremiah 50:37).

What other nation has a “mix of peoples” in her midst? God warns that fear will overtake the men and they will become like women. Sadly, I can see many of our men becoming “like women” if it came down to protecting this nation and their families.

“O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come…” (Jeremiah 51:13).

We are surrounded by water and abundant in treasure. America is the last of the world superpowers. Each world superpower came to an end. America is no different. God doesn’t love Americans any more than He loves Syrians.

Revelation 17:18 “And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”

We are witnessing the fall of our Republic; and just as Jesus said, the people are living as in the days of Noah. When Noah was building the ark and preaching to the people, they laughed at him until the very first raindrop.

This generation will laugh and persecute until the return of Christ.

“How the hammer of the whole earth has been cut apart and broken!” (Jer 50:23).

No other nation in these last days can say they are the “hammer of the earth,” or the superpower besides the United States.

“…I will kindle a fire in his cities, And it will devour all around him” (Jer 50:32).

I feel that the fire has been kindled through leftist movements rioting in the streets, by shouting “not my President,” and disobeying the rule of law.  This unrest isn’t going to stop, and there is no putting the Republic back together; it’s falling right before our eyes.

“The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, And his hands grow feeble; Anguish has taken hold of him, Pangs as of a woman in childbirth” (Jer 50:43).

Sadly, because of his strength and resolve when it comes to America, I feel President Trump is being used as the instrument to bring the world beast against us, destroying this nation, but not before we destroy ourselves from within due to the political split between Democrats and Republicans.

Our superpower status is apparently no match for the world beast.

Revelation says “who can withstand the beast?”

Our Founding Fathers gave us something amazing. The very idea of America brought people from all over the world to make a new life. They envisioned streets made of gold. America was the land of opportunity, a nation blessed by God which, in turn, honored Him.

When we kicked God out of our schools and government, it began our slow decline into Mystery Babylon.

During the Civil War, men barely had their citizenship cards before they fought to help keep this Union together, one nation under God. When we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, men lined up around the corners to defend this nation.

The left isn’t just trying to impeach President Trump; they are trying to undo the 2016 election. They have blocked every Republican witness called from testifying. Americans must stand up against this attempted coup. If they can come for him, don’t think for a moment they won’t come for you.

The Bible says, “A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, But a fool’s heart at his left” (Eccl 10:2).

How obvious that has become.

Our brave men in uniform are about to face the challenge of their lives. This nation is in trouble. And as in the days of Noah, nobody even notices. But rest assured, Satan sees, and he’s ready to devour.

NAR Purposes vs. Jesus’ Purposes :: By Gary Ritter

In February 2019 a huge event was held in Orlando that attracted 50,000 young people. It was birthed by one of the so-called apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and included many leaders of that movement. There was high energy and determination; there were encouraging declarations; there were many prayers and expectations. It was all for the Great Commission “to catalyze every believer into a lifestyle of Christ-like action,” but the question is: Was there any fruit?  Why or why not?

The event was called The Send. Its purpose was to initiate a worldwide revival to bring all people everywhere under the umbrella of the church and the authority of Jesus Christ. On the surface, it looks so good. Who could argue with the premise that we should evangelize the nations to bring them to Christ?

Unfortunately, there are a few problems.

Undoubtedly, some number of the youth assembled in the Orlando stadium were unsaved, probably also unchurched. Doubtless, many who attended were born again. Saved or not, that doesn’t necessarily make a difference as to whether or not they were deceived.

What could possibly be wrong with what went on at this all-day rally for Jesus? If we’re rah-rah! for Jesus, isn’t that all we need?

The answer is no. We also need true, Biblical doctrine behind whatever we do. We need knowledge and understanding. Lacking that, we go in ignorance and error.

The main thrust of The Send was to energize these masses with the mission of Matthew 28:19 to go into all the nations. However, what will these young people go with? For what purpose?

These youth were exhorted to win the world for Christ, to heal the sick, and to emphasize the move of the Holy Spirit in their efforts. Again, who can argue against that?

I for one.

During the entire day, from what I’ve seen, not one of the leaders on stage proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ as being about redemption from sin; that it requires repentance, surrender, salvation, the Lordship of Christ, and the hope of His resurrection. Nor did they happen to urge those listening to read the entire Word of God and to believe it. Worse, they proclaimed a future entirely devoid of what Scripture declares will occur in this world, and is currently happening. No one told these youth that if they go out in the Name of Jesus, there is a high likelihood they will be persecuted. No one told them that Jesus is returning soon, because the leaders of The Send don’t believe that He is.

The Send promoted evangelism, but did so without a Biblical foundation. These young people were told to go out and win people to Christ in the absence of helping them to truly acknowledge and confess their sin so they could lay it down at the foot of the cross. If those who heard the words of the “apostles” and “prophets” on the stage didn’t get that message, how could they convey it to others?

The entire event was based on feelings; the crowd was effectively told to seek the experience of healing for themselves and others, and through that, many would come to Jesus.

When they were told that God was doing a new thing in the earth and that, through them, the whole world would turn to Jesus, they believed a lie. The world is on a downward trajectory. It is moving increasingly toward lawlessness, disobedience, and rebellion. All we have to do is read the Bible and believe it, not to inject our own wishes and desires onto Scripture. It is not our work that will bring the return of Jesus; it is God’s doing alone. The promotors of this event believe that Christians must bring the world into submission to Christ. Why? Because they’ve had “new revelation” from God.

The reality—what the Bible says—is that soon the Church of Jesus Christ will be Raptured. There will be a 7-year Tribulation. After that, Jesus will rule and reign on the earth for 1,000 years. In all this, God is in charge. He will make it happen exactly as foretold in Scripture. For the promoters of The Send to tell these youth that it’s their efforts that lures Jesus back and brings peace on the earth is a satanic lie.

Jesus had a few things to say to His disciples before He was crucified. Typically, we say that someone’s last words are important. In that respect, what Jesus instructed in those final hours should guide us as well as them.

In John 13-17 we have significant detail about the last supper; what Jesus said and did. In this space we can’t cover everything completely, but let’s quickly look at a few of them.

Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. They were to serve others as He did.

Jesus told them to abide in Him and to do so by keeping His commandments. They were to live their lives for God and His kingdom, not for the world. Yes, the disciples could ask the Father for good fruit (such as healing) as a witness, but to simply go out in the name of healing without the Gospel wasn’t something Jesus taught.

Jesus gave them the Great Commandment to love God by loving others (Matthew 22:37-38). Because they were no longer servants, the disciples were actually friends of Jesus. Because of that, they could bear good fruit in His Name.

Jesus warned the disciples that many would hate them because they came in His Name. Through that hate, the disciples would face much persecution, but Jesus would be with them always. Indeed, they would have tribulation; but, through Jesus, the disciples could persevere because He has overcome the world.

Through the Holy Spirit, the world would be convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment. In all this, Jesus would be glorified and made known.

As the disciples went into the world, their purpose was to declare Jesus’ Name to the glory of God Almighty. The disciples would make other disciples. The Word would be preached, and the love of the Father would go forth.

Because the disciples had been with Jesus for three and a half years, they had the foundation by which to go out into the world. They would win many to Christ, but time was short. As He had previously instructed, difficult times would come and many would fall away. He never conveyed the message that His disciples could clean up the world and make it righteous so as to hand it to Him on a silver platter when He returned.

This is the belief of the NAR folks. They believe in Dominionism; that the dominion of Christ in the world will be accomplished through their doing. The Kingdom Now is what they seek to bring about. The end they proclaim is absolutely contrary to what God declares is coming soon. We don’t have new revelation and a new reformation as the name of their movement implies.

The deception of NAR propagated through events like The Send is a tragedy. It sends forth ignorant young people who don’t know the Word of God. It attempts to win others to Jesus through a healing ministry that lacks the Gospel of sin and repentance. It emphasizes experience and feeling rather than the Word of God.

We need to pray that these enthusiastic disciples who are going forth as a result of The Send will come to know the real Jesus, the real Gospel, and that they will go into the world preaching righteousness and holiness. In that, they will truly see good works: healings and other miracles. More importantly, they’ll see salvation in Christ alone. They’ll likely also experience persecution and suffering.

To go out unprepared, perhaps even unsaved? This is a recipe for failure.
