Drop zone delta

It’s epidemic these days; everywhere you look there is evidence of people with a reprobate mind. You’ve seen them on the internet with faces tattooed and or with piercings throughout it. Today you can even see them with tattooed eyeballs. 

Yesterday on Facebook I even saw a grown overweight man dressed in a tutu with long stockings and a net brazier covering his sagging man breasts. His sported a beard and on his huge feet he was wearing huge size twelve pink patent leather woman’s shoes he looked absolutely disgusting. He was waiting his turn in front of the lady’s restroom in a department store. 

In society there are some that are still able to hide behind a façade of normalcy but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Take for example the well-respected priests, politicians, other clergy, coaches and other dominate figures in our culture and the world at large. They have no shame or sense of right or wrong. Indeed, there has always been such people but did you ever in your life see so many – in your face – apostates, drug addled people and other psychopaths? 

The Governor of New York signed a bill that would allow mothers to abort their innocent children even after birth. Did you ever notice that most if not all Democrats deny the sanctity of life and instead do what they can to destroy it? This can only be the work of the devil. 

With open devil worship growing by leaps and bounds we Christians must be trying to stem the tide. Many of these people pretend to be benevolent loving and kind, but their works belie what they who and what they are, “By their fruits you shall know them.” 

Such were the people at the time of the Great flood and during the time of Sodom and Gomora. They were given over to a reprobate mind; their thoughts were continually evil. Life was cheap. Is it any wonder that God had to destroy them? “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man”.

We stand at the crossroads of good versus evil, the great falling away has begun and soon – very soon – the great tribulation will begin in earnest. The time will come when such who practice evil will all be left behind to face the great tribulation just ahead.

The bible clearly says that when a person insists on denying God. God in turn will give that person over to a reprobate mind. Which could be the point of no return. Now that my dear friends -is a profound thought – which brings us to this next point. 

In the 1970s, psychiatric deinstitutionalization began in our country; today over 2.2 million people do not receive any psychiatric treatment at all. Except for medication which they may or may not take, they have all taken to the streets and it’s beginning to look like a scary zombie movie out there. 

Since 1976, there have been 20 mass murders a year on average. J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., is a forensic psychologist who studied them. He found that mass murderers suffer mental illnesses that range from chronic psychotic disturbances and schizophrenia to paranoid disorders. They have the paranoid, narcissistic, and schizoid traits of personality disorders. These were not normal people who simply “snapped.” Instead, they suffered for years from untreated or poorly treated mental illness. Almost half of all mass killers had depression, learning disabilities, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Forty percent had alcohol or drug dependencies. 

But regulations hinder treatment. For example, families can’t commit someone unless they’ve already proved a threat to themselves or someone else. Judges cannot order seriously mentally ill people to stay in treatment. People are not allowed to remove guns from mentally ill people who threaten themselves or others. Reversal of these rules would allow family members to get treatment for their mentally ill loved ones and protect society. As if that wasn’t enough to make your liver quiver – there are multitudes of users of illicit drug users as well. Since money compels people to become dealers the drug trade just continues to grow and there is hardly a family in the United States who hasn’t been impacted by its proliferation and or use. Opioid addiction is on the rise which can lead to a reprobate mind.

Some would say that demonic possession and mental illness are two different things, but I would submit to you that a well-balanced person is one who knows Christ in a personal way and is living a Christ centered life. Nevertheless, there are different levels of spiritual growth, attesting to the power of Gods written word – the bible.

That being said; these same people could have lived a fulfilling life had they repented and received Christ. Jesus was always healing the demon possessed. The demoniac in the gospel of Mark rejoiced when he was set free from demonic possession. 

We can alleviate all care and troubling thoughts at the feet of Christ casting all our care on Him and receiving in its place – wonderful peace of mind. God is the ultimate psychiatrist.

If, like the bible says, “The eyes are the mirror of the soul” then we Christians have much to be concerned about. Foaming at the mouth atheists, homosexuals, radicals, and drug addled criminals are today trying to dismantle our country; a country once deemed a Christian Nation. Their very eyes tell the story. The life of extreme leftists imbue confusion, hate, greed and self-righteousness. It permeates their very souls. 

Common sense is out of vogue and these days it’s the person who acts erratic and speaks foolishness that gets noticed. You can see evil in their eyes.

Now that wouldn’t be so bad, but those who are willing to listen to these foolish and lost people are themselves acting and looking the part of complete lunatics, dancing naked in the streets of America to promote their evil lifestyles. Fancying themselves as liberators in their drug and lust induced delusions they are only fooling themselves and will one day pay the ultimate price for their godlessness.

In one sense they are liberators, but the misguided Godless liberators only want to be liberated from the constraints of God – constraints that are given in the Ten Commandments for our own good, yet our countries leaders break them indiscriminately.  In the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 10 verse 2 it says, “A wise man’s heart is on the right hand – but the fool’s heart is on the left.”

 I shall try to name the most influential and evil possessed of the left – beginning with:

The Catholic Pope – Today, this common man is trying to unite Christianity with Islam (Chris-lam) – a faith that kills anyone who will not adhere to their evil religion, and he continues to harbor and protect pedophile priests and nuns. (More is being revealed on the inner workings of this cult as we speak.)

George Soros – Although a Jew by birth, he is a former Nazi sympathizer who fingered out his own during the holocaust and had them robbed and killed – with no remorse and became a multi-billionaire intent on changing the face of the world.

Bernie Sanders – Is an advocate of the Saul Alinsky way of subversion (double speak) telling people what he thinks they want to hear. Here is a man who would sell his soul to the devil – that is if he believed in one.

Hillary Clinton – Is perhaps the deadliest woman in world history. Aside from the Jezebel of the bible she continues to leave a trail of dead bodies in her wake. Try not to get caught by her evil gaze.

Rapist William Jefferson Clinton. The ultimate rapist with eyes filled with lust.

Barack Obama – Is a man who in his first two times on the floor of the Senate (as a junior Senator) advocated for late term abortions and continues to fight for that evil right. – the Muslim traitor to our Christian Nation deceived multitudes of politically correct people into voting him into office twice. There is too much to divulge about this man’s deception except to say that only the devil is capable of such deceit. This man can look you in the eye and lie through his big teeth. (Now there is talk of him running for president yet again!)

Nancy Pelosi – Encroaching dementia says it all, poor woman.

Maxine Waters – wacky – cowboy hat wearing – congress woman.

The perverted Podesta brothers John and Tony – truly evil in every way.

Anthony Weiner…whose name belies his obsession.

The newest Democrat to hit the stage is the U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocaseo Cortes. Talk about eyes of the soul – this woman is rabidly delusional, and it shows in so many other ways.

From this point on, there are simply too many other demented political leaders to mention.

On another note:

Sunday, our church which has seating for 6000 was filled to capacity; running late I took the very last chair in the very last row of the sanctuary. Our pastor delivered a good pertinent message and afterward announced that we were observing the Lords Supper – as it was that time of the month. 

As the elements were passes down the aisle, I noticed that a young dark skinned East Indian man whom I had never seen before and was two seats away from me to my right. Wondering if he would partake of the elements I watched to see if he would – he didn’t. 

That’s when I realized that he might not be a Christian. And so as soon as the service ended, I made my way over to him and introduced myself. 

“Hi, my name is Jim” to which he replied in like manner. We sauntered out into the entrance way and stepped aside to let people pass and to carry out a conversation that went like this, “Are you a Christian?” I asked.

“No but my mother recently became one, I’m a Hindu.” 

“Well then, what did you think of the service?”

“I enjoyed what the pastor said.” He replied

“The Pastor teaches from the bible; do you own one?”

“Not yet” he replied.”

“I’ve been studying the bible for over forty years and it has never failed me. In it you can find the word of God and the salvation message as well as comfort for the soul.” as I showed him my well-worn forth one that was highlighted throughout with verses that were important to me” I said.

The young man (who appeared to be in his thirties) was intrigued to say the least.

Next, I explained the difference between the Old and New Testaments and asked him to read it to seek Gods face prayerfully.

The last of the people swirled around us as they left for their cars.

The last thing I told him is that his mother had probably been praying for him to find the God of the bible and His Glorious Son – Christ Jesus

On my way home I was elated that God had let me experience -yet again, a Divine Appointment.

Although there are two distinct separations of the redeemed in Ezekiel 9:4 of the Old Testament and Revelation 7:3 in the final book of the New Testament. I’m inclined to believe that the angels of God are going about fulfilling their job of the sealing of the saints today – just prior to the rapture – even as we speak.

Yes, there are references of that happening in the Old Testament, nevertheless it appears that this scenario may being played out again in these dark days in world history – history appears to repeat itself especially where biblical prophecy is concerned. 

Not going into detail, I will only relate what current headlines reveal. Israel, being the main focus of prophetic scripture, we will start with it.

While some factions are eager to rebuild the Temple and have everything in place the Israelis are fighting attacks on several fronts and while they are systematically bombing Iranian controlled Syria – thus fulfilling the prophecy that Damascus would be utterly destroyed in the end times by the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah. 

Even as we speak, coalitions are being formed against Israel, (the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity) to wipe it off the map once and for all, and the amazing thing is that the very countries mentioned in scripture are the ones who hope to destroy them.

Satanic worship is growing at an alarming rate and the followers would like nothing better than to wipe out the last vestiges of Judaism and Christianity – or if you will – the worship of Almighty God. This they do to not have to be held accountable for their many sins. Sin is a dirty word to such as these.

Each day now we are seeing and hearing of people who are selling out to the devil in ever larger numbers. Satan worship is springing up in our country like never before. Successful people are even giving credit to Satan for giving them the success they’ve had in life. These are people who have had their God consciousness seared from their mind and have no qualms about bragging about it. They are literally going out of their minds.

Already, a third of sea life appears to be diminishing. The fishermen at my mission station are beginning fade away. The abundant fish that were once caught off the Naples pier has all but dried up. Even rivers and canals aren’t producing fish like before. This is to say nothing of the enormous damage caused by leaking radiation from the Fujiyama nuclear plant in Japan which is destroying fish and sea life all along the coastal rim of the Pacific Ocean.

Politicians worldwide seem to be in it for what they can get, and public be damned. They go into politics dead broke or in debt and come out millionaires after a few years of doing nothing constructive for their constituents. Many only show up only to collect their inflated ill – gotten pay checks.

Lawyers, a once highly esteemed profession is being ridiculed for being money hungry thugs as well. Judges are not immune. Criminals getting away with crime and even murder especially if they are wealthy. It seems that money can get you anything. 

Some doctors who are supposed to be healers of humanity are committing murder indiscriminately for monetary gain. In New York a bill was passed with Mayor Cuomo’s blessing that a woman can have her child killed even after exiting her womb. Cuomo’s action in signing the bill even caused consternation with the pope, but who is he to talk? Cuomo called him out on the defending and harboring of known pedophiles. The ungodly are now even fighting amongst themselves. This can only help to weaken our nation.

As a matter of fact, children in Tanzania are being murdered and dismembered for their body parts – to be used as talisman to, of all things – ward off evil.   

Many of our football heroes have proven to be posers and being fueled by drugs they batter their wives and kill their “friends”. Our supposed football heroes are falling left and right from off their pedestals. We are warned not to worship men in scripture, they, being human are almost always sure to let us down. People without God are nothing more than pawns for the Devil.

Even so, president Trump is pushing a bill to have bible courses taught in public schools, but this may be too little too late. There will be great opposition to this plan by non – believers and Muslims who will want their Quran to be taught as well.

These in -your -face atrocities and disasters speak of End Time prophecies. There is no going back now, to the things that once were. The good “ol days” are over, we’ve traveled too far in the wrong direction.

Could it be that the angels of God are sealing Christians in preparation for the soon coming rapture and leaving God denying evil doers to their fate in these ungodly times?

Beware, neither our goodness, (“All our righteousness are as filthy rags.”) church, synagogue, mother Mary, the saints, the pope, degrees, doctorates, charisma, celebrity, notoriety, acumen, friends, intelligence nor money can save us now…… Jesus alone saves. 

Will you be sealed for destruction or redemption when that day comes –  and it will? You can’t have it both ways. You either receive Christ’s forgiveness or you don’t. The bible says, “This is the record, that God hath given us His Son. He that hath the Son Hath life, he that hath not the Son hath not life but the wrath of God abides on him. KJV.

Are you tempted to do Satan’s bidding? Are you living under a cloud of despair over sins you’ve committed? We are all constantly being tempted to do wrong by the tempter, and most of us can usually justify our every inconsistency when we submit to the temptation. God, on the other hand, expects us to resist the inclination to do wrong, Jesus said, “Resist the Devil and he will flee from you” – simple as that. 

Christian believers must understand that this is a normal phenomenon that all humans must contend with. You are not alone, we all go through temptations; even the Lord Jesus was tempted by Satan, (but never once submitted). To be sure, no one is perfect; that’s why Christ had to die for us.

Nevertheless, we continue to falter and submit to the wiles of the Tempter. Throughout the world some are even worshiping Satan openly while others serve him unwittingly. As a matter of fact, there is a growing need for exorcists around the world today. His greatest disguise is to have us believe he doesn’t exist.

Many hide their fidelity to the Tempter in the guise of well doing as is the case for many in all walks of life. These are usually those who don’t know scripture rightly or who refuse to acknowledge Almighty God and/or His Word. However, we Christian believers know or should know the wiles and tricks of the Devil by being called to, “Be sober, be diligent, for Satan prowls around like a roaring lion seeing whom he may devour.”

The bible says that temptation is inevitable and common to us all, “There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man, but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able.” KJV

While it’s true that a spiritually mature Christian has less and less temptations to contend with, (been there – done that) many still grapple with apathy and or plain laziness in doing God’s will and all too often, all they concern themselves with is football. Albeit, while they may be saved, because of God’s provisional grace, we tend to take that grace too lightly.

The Tempter has a big bag of tricks that he uses to trick us into sin. He tempts us with, lust for illicit sex, love of money and with the pride of life. Satan is sneaky and knows our every inconsistency and he sets out just the right bait for each individual. Following the bait, we can be deceived at any time, and so it is best to stay in close contact with Christ; who is our salvation and advocate with the Father interceding for us when we do fall victim to the Tempters devices. 

The Tempter also puts fear into our hearts through worry – (fear of future events to harm us.) But again, Jesus said, “Don’t worry about anything, but through prayer and supplication – with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” 

But then again, if you don’t experience temptation, then maybe you aren’t worth the devil’s time in fooling with you – and so he lets you go about your merry way – with no conscience or guilt over our missteps. This is a grievous malady and slippery slope to severing your relationship to God – that is if you truly have one.

To be sure, God is true to His word and we are saved by grace through faith some of us will barely make it to heaven. Is that what Jesus spoke of when he said that some would make it to heaven – as if by fire? 

The Tempter is also the accuser of the brethren and would have us lay awake at night accusing us of wrongdoing – real or imagined; but we who know God and His word have God’s promise to forgive us – if we confess our sins and repent. “If we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Remember the bible says that God even cares for sparrows, how could He not care for you? You are His prized possession, the pinnacle of His creation.

All of humanity is precious to God, but since He gave us free will, we must make the decision to believe in Him and His Holy Word (The bible) or to fall for the temptations of the Devil. There isn’t much middle ground here. This is the decision all humanity must make. This world is only the testing ground for you to decide which way to go in pursuing it. Although life sometimes seems like a mindless game but, it is the only way for our all-seeing God to know where we stand and only after we receive the gospel can we live life as it should be lived. That is with power, love and a sound mind – as well as one without fear. 

Walk with Him, talk with Him, tell Him your troubles and concerns – He’s always wanting and waiting to hear your voice call out to Him. “Study to show yourself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightfully dividing the word of God.” Learn of the Tempters devises to do us harm and learn to live by God’s many promises made to us by reading the bible. 

BOOK

The book “Ashamed of the Gospel” by John E. Mc Arthur is excellent reading, and even though it was published in 1993 it is still as relevant today as it was then; maybe even more so. The author speaks of trends, merchandising and entertainment that are used as tools to bring people into the church. Some of which are really seeking the truth that only the Gospel can give, institutionalizing them instead of letting the word of God convert them into powerful saints. But all too often, the result is that they often burn out.

The writer states that, “The very reason people love sophisticated religion and highbrow morality is that those things appeal to the human ego. At the same time, worldly wisdom scoffs at the gospel precisely because it confronts human conceit. The gospel demands that people acknowledge their sin and spiritual impotence. It humiliates them, convicts them, and calls them sinners. Moreover, it offers salvation as a gracious work of God – not something people can accomplish on their own. In every way the cross crushes human pride.”

Many of us believers feel that we could be the generation that ushers in the great tribulation period after our departure in what’s called the rapture. With governments toppling left and right even non- Christians believe that something isn’t quite right, and that war among the great powers is on the horizon. But even the leaders of these nations don’t seem to know what to do about it; and with the shaking and toppling of governments worldwide, humanity is coming to its collective wits end. Except for hard core Christian believers many throughout the world are living in fear and confusion.

Even so, here in America there are many traditional, and wishy washy “Christian believers” who are still playing church with an eye to recognition from fellow congregants; when speaking to these people, they are likely to tell you that we’ve been living in the end times for over two thousand years, and they’ll start off their spiel by saying “Bah”, (my addition) … “Where is the sign of His (Jesus) coming, for since the fathers fell asleep all continues as from the beginning of creation” 2 Peter 3:4.

While the traditional church is experiencing a falling away in this country and abroad, – another phenomenon is taking place; there are other churches springing up led by self- styled glutinous preachers who wear their shirts outside their pants to hide the roll of fat that has become their belly. This laisse-faire attitude smacks of disrespect for the things of God, even so, the congregants follow suit, wearing sandals and shorts and moo – moos to the services. They have no respect or fear of God. This, while loud music, strobe lights and often smoke machines serve to makeup the service while groping and desperate people only need to hear the gospel and unadulterated word of God.

Despite all the foolishness going on in todays churches there are some who truly take the things of God to heart. These folks care about the dying humanity and aren’t afraid of wearing their faith on their sleeve. The reason I write about my exploits is that they may inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and experience the blessings one receives when we reach out to others. Science has proven that when we reach out to others it releases endorphins in the brain and makes you a happier and more confident person – and this goes for everyone – Christian or not.

Only then, when you begin to do what He’s called you to do – it will surely put you in favor with God and you will see His promises begin to bear fruit. Except for His mercy, Gods promises are conditional, and He will prove Himself to you if you give Him first place in your life.

William Carey (1761 to 1834) once said, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.” When you know the power of a Covenant relationship with God and walk in His ways, you will experience a radical change in your life.

Indeed, we can’t just let people guess that we’re Christians; they may even think we’re just a worldly – goody two shoes. There are plenty of those running around who seem to think (like some Christians) that they can find favor with God and man by being so called “decent” folks, but the bible says different. The bible says, “There is none righteous, no not one; for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; but God has laid upon Him (Christ Jesus) the iniquity of us all.” That is the scourging and death on the cross.

The apostle James says, “Yea, a man may say he hath faith, thou hath faith and I have works: show me your faith without works and I will show you my faith with my works…Faith without works is dead.” 

In these disastrous days, we must not resort to being closet Christians. Just look what it’s done to our society for us withholding the good news of the Gospel from a lost and dying world. Isn’t it contingent on us all to admit openly and without hesitation that He is our savior, if indeed he is? 

The exploits I experience on an almost daily basis is for me a blessing since I enjoy each and every encounter. Thankfully I began sharing Christ right after receiving Him into my life over forty years ago.  That experience was so profound that just couldn’t keep it to myself. 

So, don’t become complacent with what you know about God, nor be fearful of men who don’t understand but lean on their own understanding and ego.  Do something about your faith. We all have gifts and talents.

Let us step out in faith to lead others to Christ and encourage them in these times of great uncertainty. 

Books:

You may remember Chuck Colson from the Nixon Administration. I just finished reading “The Good Life” by Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett. I don’t know who Fickett is, but Chuck Colson is remembered for the “Born Again” book written several years ago. I read it when it first came out and figured he didn’t have much to say after that experience in his life – not many Christians do. Chuck however went on to write many other books having to do with Christianity. 

Here then is an extraordinary Christian man, a man whom I admire for his varied ministries, one of which was a world – wide prison ministry. I would say this man qualifies as one of those who dared to do great exploits.

I highly recommend either of these two books for anyone seeking the deeper things of God.

Susan was a former hippy who had spent her life in the San Francisco Bay area. Today when I met her, she was traveling around the country even though she wore no shoes because her feet were severely burned and except for the toes, her feet were encased in bandages. The front of her feet were red and still peeling skin. A few months ago, she had stepped onto some hot coals just below the surface of the sand on the beach where she was living. Someone had built a small fire and had just thrown some sand on it to extinguish the early morning fire and had walked away from it.

I had stopped at the fast food restaurant to grab a bite and there she sat near the front door her small rolling suitcase was next to her and her head was drooping with her straight shoulder length white hair hanging over her eyes.

Sensing something was wrong with her I stopped and asked “are you alright?   “No, I’m not” she replied angrily, “I’ve been sitting here for two hours and no one will help me” she scolded. Susan’s disheveled appearance was matched by her morbid and sour outlook on life, and who could blame her. Mankind had let her down.

As I proceeded to question her, it seems she was “lost” having over – shot her destination which was Ft. Meyers and ending up in North Naples.

With nothing better to do I offered to drive her there, anyway it is my inclination to aid a person in distress.

As I drove, we conversed. I was able to share my faith with her as she listened quietly saying nothing. Once we reached Ft. Meyers, I offered to buy her lunch and she readily accepted. As we ate she shared something about her life as a liberal. She had worked for Barbra Boxer and Nancy Pelosi and although I take great issue with liberals, Susan was a human being first – a lost one – and I bit my tongue refusing to talk politics.

After our meal she asked, “You gave me a ride and bought me a meal. What makes you so kind to a total stranger?” I replied, Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” she demurred, and to this she answered, “The world would be a nicer place if everyone followed the Ten Commandments.”

The day before I had seen a wheelchair bound woman in her fifties. Having been stricken with Cerebral Palsy she had been in a wheelchair since childhood and had begun working at a young age to help support her widowed mother. She was a Christmas bell ringer for the Salvation Army this season. As I stopped to make a small donation, I couldn’t help but notice the smile on her face. She was clean and neat, and her hair was combed nicely. Without a wrinkle she had the appearance of a twenty-five-year-old. I asked if she was a Christian and she answered in the affirmative. The difference in these two women is that one had Jesus and the other didn’t.

Again, I was at a fast food restaurant sitting against the back wall of the dining area. As usual I thanked God openly and when I raised my head, I saw a woman a few feet away facing me with a big smile of approval on her face at my thankfulness. Just then I realized that I had forgotten to get some napkins and the dispenser was at the far end of the store. I had to pass my admirer on the way to retrieve some. The middle-aged woman she stopped me as I approached to go by her table. “Sir were you just now giving thanks for your food?” she asked. I replied that I had. “You seldom see that anymore.” she offered.

“I’m a Christian and should show thankfulness anywhere and at any time.”

“I’m a Christian too.” she offered, and it does me good to see someone unafraid express their faith in public.”

Then she added, “When I woke up this morning, I asked God to show me a sign that there were still Christians who truly believed…. YOU sir- are that sign. I was beginning to despair that I was the only one left who believed in God.”

By now I was realizing that just by showing gratitude to my maker I was at the same time blessing someone else.

I gave her my two-sided card and told her about Rapture Ready and Drop Zone Delta.  At this, she become more intrigued and standing on her feet she gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. God had answered her prayer.

With evangelicals going off to save people in other countries our own country and state and cities are a mission field -brimming with people without hope and in despair.

Insofar as books and movies are concerned;

There hasn’t been a good one of either in recent weeks that I’m aware of. I did however view “The Diary of Ann Frank” with Ben Kingsly portraying her father. It of course tells of the young Jewish girl who wrote of her experiences and thoughts in her diary at the time of the Nazi occupation. The story was visually graphic in capturing the terror and cruelty of deranged humanity wreaking havoc on the Jewish people. The writing was excellent, the lighting was right on, the music was good, and the editing was good as well. This thought provoking, true to life movie, will, I suppose, become a classic. It can be gotten at the public library.

I just finished reading “When God Happens” a Christian book written by Angela Hunt and Bill Myers. It is a compilation of stories told of people who have experienced a supernatural miracle in their lives. It’s surprising to me how few Christians (except for those seeking recognition) have allegedly had like experiences.

“Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and His Anointed, saying “Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh and; and the Lord will hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath and distress them in his deep displeasure. I will declare the decree; the Lord has said to me, you are My Son, today I have begotten you, You ask of me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; and dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

What a mess we’ve gotten ourselves into, what with the confusion of not even knowing what to believe anymore – even in many Christian churches. We are surrounded by apostacy and a great falling away from the faith. The church is under attack in it’s belief system by both good and bad adversaries.

We’ve been warned in Holy Scripture that apostacy would rule the day in the final days before the rapture. No one is exempt from the tentacles of this Satanic influence. Even mainline denominations are crumbling under the weight of their sins and hypocrisy. Their leaders while living a lavish lifestyle seem to have no fear of Almighty God in doing as they please; they are “Whitewashed tombs – full of dead men’s bones” – their downfall being the love of money and sensual sin.

The Catholic church is rife with apostacy as the wolves have taken over the henhouse completely now. There was a time when the hierarchy’s sins weren’t so obvious, and their fake piety was kept pretty much under wraps. But even from the beginning those who by reason of lack of knowledge (the word of God) were led astray. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” was one of the first commandments to be broken. Then there was the worship of the virgin Mary who appeared to them in various forms according to their race or nationality. That alone should have thrown up a red flag of danger. But indeed, people are like sheep following their leaders “the wolves” blindly to their doom. Until recently the Catholic church was the largest “Christian” organization in the world but now the sheep are scattering in all directions having lost their moorings and faith.  Today there is even a “rainbow” rosary being promoted for gays and lesbians!

My Catholic neighbors are crying and wringing their hands about all that’s happening to their faith. Many are leaving that cult, after all, who in their right mind is going to follow pedophile priests and their enablers now that they are being exposed for the ravening wolves they are? With nowhere else to go the Unitarian Universalist group is intent on leading these and many other discontents who avoid scripture and fall into false religions, namely Buddhism, Hinduism and such and doing so to make themselves above the common folks. These pseudo intellectual gatherings (often led by women) and others like them are on the rise.

Humanity often tries to bring our Divine Creator God down to their level of understanding and in so doing, deceive themselves and those who would listen to them; these wolves in sheep’s clothing claim to be His spokesmen, and now, even women are getting into the game. Take for example Victoria Olsteen, Joyce Meyer and Paula White who refers to herself as the president’s pastor; a clear unvalidated example of name dropping.

Such women try to emulate men and leave their first habitation as it were, (like Lucifer did) and child bearing – Today they even have “A Woman’s Bible” – whatever that means. But some men who say they are called to be representatives of God are often just as culpable as the silly women Paul refers to in the New Testament in 2^ndTim 1-7.

Anyone who knows scripture knows that man is given the responsibility of being God’s spokesmen. The Old Testament Prophets and New Testament Apostles were all men ordained by God to do this extraordinary task. Most would also agree that a man’s and woman’s temperament are decidedly different, for different reasons. Let’s face it, women are more emotional, they can even swoon at the sight of a singing idol. Men would never faint, at least not yet – but we’re getting there.

Women have the exalted status of being life and care givers which is a great honor in serving God.

While all of this is happening, the Mormon church is trying to change their name so as to blend in with mainstream Christianity – hoping to deceive and corral the sheep that are scattering from other denominations. We can lump this silly and errant belief system with the Jehovah’s Witnesses along with other such man-made cults.

Why anyone would want to trifle with the God of the bible is beyond me. Do they really think they can hoodwink the most powerful being in the universe; the one who can and does create planets as big as the sun and twice as hot?

From here on in we are going to have to watch which Christian denomination to adhere to. There are many wolves out there to whom Jesus will one day say, “Depart from me; I never knew you”.

The Bible is the only written word we can rely on to give us truth and understanding about the things of God. Studying, reading and adhering to its truths is the only way to stay on the right track.

I wish I had good news to report, but the only good news today is that Jesus died for the ungodly and that by believing in Him we can have eternal life.

In America, the Great Generation has been called that because that generation endured and /or participated the second world war and came out the victors. As they prospered afterward and became ever stronger, they found they had less need of God; they had pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and women of that generation had learned to work outside the home and left it up to others to bring up the following generation, while the family bible lay on the shelf gathering dust.

The Baby Boomers came on the scene after that great war in which millions died. (The Jews lost over 6 million people in that war.) They continued to prosper, and they reveled in their prosperity, now nearly every home had a television set, washing machine, refrigerator and telephone. We were the first in our tenement building to do so.

Then came the Hippy generation, a generation of pot smokers, sex and drug addicts. New religions were being explored even as Billy Graham tried single handedly to stem the tide of this apostacy with his crusades. Some hippies converted but not enough of them to make a solid impact in society – everyone knew they were brain dead. Bibles were all but ignored. This generation had found gods more to their liking.

Millennials today rule the roost in almost every way, we have given them the reigns of the country to do as they please in anyway they please. Among them are Antifa, Neo Nazi’s, and outright crazies. Now anything goes.

After that, (if the Lord tarries) will come what I would call the Completely Lost generation. Are you beginning to see a pattern of fallenness here? Can you imagine what a generation of people without God would look like? Already the three final ones have gotten progressively worse, and it’s all due to their indifference about the things of God – each generation increasingly becoming complacent about the things of the bible.

Of course, humanity has always been a wayward creation, ungodly, unruly, violent and obstinate but today humanity has all but forgotten the God of their fathers, namely the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Even many Jews have become too sophisticated to acknowledge their God.

Yes, our Divine Creator may soon be forgotten, and the following generations will do as they please to their own destruction…. Can you say Sodom and Gomorrah?

Case in point; at seven my best friend was Gary Miller who lived in the same big brownstone tenement building as I. We played outside all day long until it got dark and I had to go inside at the behest of my mother who was echoing my father’s command – which I believed then – was written in stone. Gary on the other hand could stay out for as long as he wished – doing anything he wished; permissiveness was beginning to rear it’s ugly head.

Gary’s mother was an alcoholic who always had a bottle hidden somewhere in the vicinity, while his dad sat by the window at a card table playing solitaire – morning, noon and night – or so it seemed. Being preoccupied, he hardly noticed when Gary was there and very rarely spoke to him, while his mother was always throwing things at him in a drunken fit of rage.

I, on the other hand was careful not to overstep my bounds. My dad, a big serious man, was supreme commander of this ship and you couldn’t get away with any indiscretion whatsoever.

When my dad took to drinking and my mother abandoned the family, I took over her role as second in command of my six siblings. There was no time for running around like “footloose” Gary, I was too busy looking after my brothers and sisters. (As I look back, surprisingly I never chastised or hollered at my brothers or sisters but instead took pity on the family – as a whole.)

In the meantime at the age of fifteen, Gary began running with a wild bunch of boys. His legacy was being laid out before him – one of loss and dissipation. The last I heard he had died a lonely and decrepit alcoholic. Without God, just look what happened to him. I loved Gary.

I tell this story because I’m a witness to the tragedy that befalls people when they fail to acknowledge God. In doing so they are offering up their children to Baal – a god of no inhibitions, restrictions or morals. What a tragedy not to know God and His Salvation – Christ.

If we don’t instruct our children in the way, they should go – Satan will. The bible says it all,

“A foolish son is a grief to his father and a bitterness to her who bore him.”

“Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your heart on his destruction.”

“Children’s children are the crown of old men and the glory of children is their father.”

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.”

“Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right.”

“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

“Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him”

God forbid this curse should fall on anyone.

Millennials and the upcoming generation are heading for trouble as they try to make sense of this life without the God of the bible. I pity them having been born into a society of transsexuals, bi- sexuals, perverts and heartless criminals, with no sense of right or wrong or even know what their own sex is; while their perverted teachers are instructing them in these prevalent falsehoods and because children today are forbidden by their parents to talk to strangers, (and rightfully so) today’s children are incapable of social intercourse even with family members, and they in turn are discouraged from taking part in their upbringing and again – rightfully so – because uncle Bill is a pedophile.

Years ago, I saw a movie by that title but only remember bits and pieces of the comedy. The title however stayed with me and today it is being voiced by many in the Christian community. We of course call it the rapture or the taking away (Parousia) of the bride of Christ.

The vocalization of a desire to leave it all behind is being heard more and more as our time on earth runs out. Many Christians are afraid of what lies ahead in the immediate future. Already we are seeing people go stark raving mad in their desire to effect change one way or another. In seeking release for their demonized mind, they go about harming innocent people. You can’t be safe anywhere these days.

Several on my Facebook page are expressing the desire to be raptured now before more stuff hits the fan.  Some Christians are even becoming paranoid and filled with fear. But we really should be expecting these bad things to happen according to the bible and if I’m right – we haven’t seen anything yet.

Today, conspiracy theorists are making wild claims about mind, and population control in suburban areas thus herding people to urban areas to be able to control them – to this I would ask, to what avail? Much of life doesn’t make sense anymore and although life is cheap to those who would destroy it – what good is it to rule a faceless world? Nevertheless, because of Satan’s hatred for mankind and the God who created them he doe’s all he can to destroy them. Is it any wonder he’s called the Destroyer in Scripture?

While the latest technologies are helping people recover from maladies that inflict our human bodies, some of the same technologies are said to be targeting people who threaten the criminal deep state with exposure. Fairy Tales or not, in each case, this craziness is undoubtedly psychological warfare with human workers won over by Satan bombarding the rest of humanity with debilitating propaganda. Money is being used to “hire” some of these workers, many of whom are just plain greedy.

Jesus hit the nail on the head when He said, “The love of money is the root of much evil.” (Notice He said LOVE of money). Indeed, it seems everyone is getting on the greedy gravy train -straight on their way to hell. Even Jesus was sold out for thirty pieces of silver and you know what he said about that man. He said, “It would have been better if he had not been born”.

Hopefully, the time may come when these perpetrators of fear and manipulation will themselves be caught up in their own devices and Satan will have won the battle for these men’s souls, but rest assured, the God who creates and destroys with the Word of His mouth will eventually win the war.

The list of prophetic warnings continues to grow as one of the biggest employers in the UK is offering to implant the identity chip into its employees’ hands, and the employees couldn’t be happier. It’s already becoming the thing to do in Switzerland. These people know nothing of scripture or they would have no part in it.

A hologram of the late great singer Roy Orbison is coming to a town near you in the immediate future. Already, another hologram of the deceased “king of pop” Michael Jackson performing has been shown at the Billboard Music Awards as well as one featuring Amy Winehouse.  Could this portend the appearance of the beast in hologram form during the Great Tribulation? The technology is here, and it may be used to astonish people to conform to the evil Anti Christ’s demand to worship it. Now that idea I can live with – no fairy tales here.

At this juncture, I must confess that there have been times, when weary, I have thought the same thing. But each morning we “born again believers are continually being infused with love, power and a sound mind – which leads me to another facet of this inquiry.

We Spirit filled Christians must of necessity put on the whole armor of God to withstand the New World Order. Now more than ever we need to stick around to give light to this darkening world. What this all means is that we should be aware of these satanic devices and expose them whenever possible – even if politically correct and timid clergy won’t and since Satan is the father of lies, and hell bent on destroying the last vestiges of Judeo-Christian thought as well; albeit, we Christians should be able to recognize and resist him with the powerful Word of God just as Jesus did will He was here on earth.

 

On another front, I spoke to my “congregants” about various spiritual things at the Naples pier addressing each one individually. We, as usual, spoke about world events as well. Being fishermen, we were also talking about the Pelicans who steal the fisherman’s bait on occasion and one old codger said, “We should roast and eat them for Thanks giving ha, ha, ha!” This gave me an opening to say something about the bible. And as I stood, I addressed them all saying, “You know what the book of Leviticus says about that? (At which they all looked to me for the answer.) I went on to say, “It tells us that we shouldn’t eat Whoopies, Cranes or Vultures.” I did this to give them thoughts about the Word of God – that they should ponder it.

I stopped by to talk to Joe at the other end of the pier and the former baseball player welcomed my company. He was concerned about one of the conspiracy theories mentioned above especially the big money-grubbing pharmaceutical companies. It seems his son works for one of them. He said, “How many diseases have been eradicated since the nineteen fifties? From early times we cured polio, and many other debilitating diseases, but since the nineteen fifties – not one.” He was right. Then he went on to say, “Today all we get are pills, pills that will kill you if you stop taking them.” Thinking back, I remember reading on a prescription bottle that you could die if you quit taking the pills inside. I’m also aware of the number of people dying from over use of opioids (pain killers). Joe told me that his son told him about these things and more. “It’s all about money Jim, …. It’s all about money! They get people hooked and stand to make billions doing it.”

Yes, we are living in the confusing time, a confounding time of sorrows when love and understanding are being phased out by hate, intolerance and greed while at the same time, our opportunities to reach out to the lost are diminishing, and in doing so, God promises to give us -Power, Love and a Sound Mind.
