Woe to us Americans

America- whether you like, believe, care about it or not- America was a Christian nation at it's founding. How about a few quotes?

"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams

"Can the liberties of a nation be sure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people, that these liberties are a gift from God? Thomas Jefferson

We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! [April 18, 1775]
John Adams and John Hancock

John Adams:
“ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”

The three branches of the U.S. Government: Judicial, Legislative, Executive
• At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the plan to divide the central government into three branches. He discovered this model of government from the Perfect Governor, as he read Isaiah 33:22;
“For the LORD is our judge,
the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king;
He will save us.”

Need anymore evidence? Please do not go to the "Separation of church and state" lie…. Google the Danbury Baptists if you believe the lie that the constitution contains the phrase "The separation of church and state".

Back to the point.........

America, if our founding fathers had relied solely on their wisdom and not beseeched God for His wisdom in the creation of this nation, the direction of the nation, moreover, the ownership of this nation would belong exclusively to it's people.

Americans, because of the prayers of our founding generations that they would grant this nation to God for His purposes, and believed it, God is intimately tied to this nation and it's people. Most Americans claim to be Christians but few admit to living according to it's precepts. This was not the case two generation ago where most Americans lived according to a Christian world view. This nation was dedicated to Jesus and the Glory of God. If this were not the case God would have no case against us nationally, only we as individuals.

"What is your point dude?"

America, especially it's so called Christians, is guilty of idolatry. Idolatry is defined as an immoderate attachment or devotion to something- I add ... to something other than God.

"Explain yourself!" you say.

From Catholicism to the Charismatics, no one would or could deny an immoderate attachment and devotion to the money, religion (self), and fame. Many charismatics have built colleges and even entire systems of theology around wealth. This is idolatry when you factor the whole of the Scriptures and the demand that we NOT focus on the world and the things of the world, that the love of money is the root of all evil. Do not be fooled........

You focus on what you love! You preach about what you love! You chase what you love! Stop lying to us, God has called us to be strangers and aliens in this world and the wealthy are not the aliens and strangers of this world- they are the beloved! Not that wealth is bad in itself. We have compromised our morals for wealth. We have blurred the lines for more. We have coveted everything! We have strapped ourselves with more debt so that we can have a new building that can accommodate more people but instead of building functional buildings that could seat thousands we build fancy buildings that seat hundreds. What? Why? If we have the endorsement of the Spirit and the associated power of the Spirit we do not need to be relevant! When the light breaks forth people will come like bugs around a night light. Just look at how ridiculous the Catholics get when they see a water stain on sheet rock that could remotely be construed as an image of a person. What? How about when Charismatics have a big named guest come and preach, have you ever seen such a wild party? The point is that people are very hungry. When the real deal shows up they will come!

Folks! God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When did He stop speaking/revelation to His people? Where in the Scriptures did He prophesy that He would cut off intimate relation and communication with His people? I will tell you when He stopped speaking to His people........ When we stopped listening!!!
Christianity has become a religion just like Judaism was a religion when it crucified the Savior- institutional. We have lost relationship with God and have substituted knowing the Scriptures for knowing God- we have gone so far as to say that if one has a PHD in religion that person knows God more than most and has a plaque to prove it. This is why, I believe, the SOVEREIGN God allowed differing accounts (contradictions) to exist in His Scriptures. Why? So that we would not make a god and an idol out of the Scriptures and not focus our lives on the invisible God- with our ears inclined to Him for every Word that proceeds out of His mouth. Don’t get me wrong…..

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; and I believe it!

Recently I read a book about General Tommy Franks, but I would be foolish to think just because I read this comprehensive book that I have a relationship with him. Are you picking up what I am laying down?
What kind of relationship is without intimate interaction? Relationship is a two way street! Why would God stop talking to His Bride?

Look at His bride. Look at us. Does it look like we know God? We are a joke around the world. Why? Because we are a joke. We are hated because we judge when we are commanded not to judge. We hate homosexuals and lobby against them politically when all the while our champions are involved in adulterous homosexual drug affairs instead of loving like we are commanded to do. Who could possibly have confidence in what Christianity has become? We have made superstars of our leaders and then one by one they fall- nastily. We have relegated all of the work of the Kingdom to "Sunday Morning Superstars". The rest of us have accepted that our bodily place and duty is to serve food on Wednesday night and give when the plate is passed so that the "superstars" can be funded as they do the real work of the Kingdom. If you stop moving and exercising any part of your body it will succumb to atrophy. That is what happens when you stop exercising spiritually as well. Don’t believe it? Just look at the lives of the average Sunday morning pew sitter. From deviant sexual appetites to fraud in finances all of this is rampant in the “church”. I am not pointing fingers….. I grieve…… especially at my own frequently reoccurring sins.

Folks, Christianity has pinned her hopes on another political messiah. White or black, conservative or liberal, republican or democrat alike! Barack will right the wrongs that have been perpetrated against black people and use government to do it. McCain and Palin will root out the corruption that has destroyed our nation. As if legislation could possibly change the heart. If the root of the problem is ultimately sin how does any law ever deal with sin? This is a great opportunity to see an example of how the Law of Moses could not properly address sin and why Jesus had to come and fulfill the law and make possible relationship with God. The law is followed perfectly, by grace, in relationship with Christ. Only relationship with Jesus will change anything. Yes, the right president is important but when sin is at the heart of our problems only genuine repentance will begin to cure. Christianity has become a religion of spectators and superstars and all of our hopes are pinned to legislation and wealth.

When did God call us to host debates so that only the symptoms of the disease would be debated as the problem? Sin is at the heart of our personal and national dilemmas. Repentance is our only solution. Defiling our idols is our only remedy. Humility, weeping, sackcloth and ashes are our only option here. We must repent.

American non-christians, it is unfortunate for you that you must go though the fire, when the refiner’s fire is focused on whom God calls His. You will suffer because the "church" has become a harlot and has put her hopes on everything other than Jesus- politics, wealth, religion and it's superstars.

Let me share with you what God had to say to and about His people that were guilty of adultery.........

Isaiah 30: 1 - 18

1"Woe to the rebellious children," declares the LORD,
"Who execute a plan, but not Mine,
And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;

2Who proceed down to Egypt
Without consulting Me,
To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh
And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3"Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
4"For their princes are at Zoan
And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.
5"Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them,
Who are not for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach."

6The oracle concerning the beasts of the Negev
Through a land of distress and anguish,
From where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent,
They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys
And their treasures on camels' humps,
To a people who cannot profit them;
7Even Egypt, whose help is vain and empty
Therefore, I have called her
"Rahab the do nothing."
8Now go, write it on a tablet before them
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may serve in the time to come
As a witness forever.
9For this is a rebellious people, false sons,
Sons who refuse to listen
To the instruction of the LORD;
10Who say to the seers, "You must not see visions";
And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right,
Speak to us pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
11"Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,
Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."

12Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
"Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,
13Therefore this iniquity will be to you
Like a breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,
14Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter's jar,
So ruthlessly shattered
That a sherd will not be found among its pieces
To take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern."

15For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said,
"In repentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength."
But you were not willing,
16And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses,"
Therefore you shall flee!
"And we will ride on swift horses,"
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;
You will flee at the threat of five,
Until you are left as a flag on a mountain top
And as a signal on a hill.

Try substituting in place of Egypt and Pharaoh, government and president. Tell me if it doesn't scream at you as loudly as it screamed out to me.

The twin towers were the very picture of American prosperity to the world. When God allowed them to be brought down, I believed that God was sending us, in particular American Christians, a warning that our sin of idolatry was about to over flow the cup of American iniquity. We ran to church and acted like we needed God but the act did not last long. Last Monday when the stock market fell the most it had ever fallen in American history it fell 777.68 points. 7=the perfect number of God, 777= the perfect number of the trinity, 6= the number of man, and 8= the number of new beginnings. These numbers and their respective representations can frequently be found in the Bible. This is not at all surprising to me. I believe God is telling us that He is going to bring us to a place of right relationship to the Father- you know, a bride without spot or wrinkle. As is His track record, the refinement usually comes from within the fires of the oven.

I believe the economy will fail in a historic way. This will cause the big high dollar churches to close. The superstars will no longer be superstars. Government will step in to our lives, over stepping constitutional bounds, and establish a requirement of allegiance the likes of fascism. Religion will become an institutionalized organization. The sheep and the goats will begin to be separated.


Our only hope is in Christ and Christ through repentance.

Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood

The real American man- not your homosexual, metro, sensitive urban type. Certainly not your shaven chest pretend man, lollipop premadonna who pretends to be everyone else for a living- has taken a record of y'alls debauchery.

Hollywood, you hypocrites! You who advocate gun control yet you deluge our society with your romantization of violence. You who pretend to champion women's rights yet you exploit the women for commercial profit every chance you get- the only successful women in your town fits the stereotypical mold. You glorify drugs but run advertisements about the ills of drug abuse. You delight in the incestuous kisses of your whores but disdain all "Middle Americans", especially conservatives, as in breeders. What kind of fools champion the lives of the hip hop thug but blame gun manufacturers for the ills of the inner-city?

Hypocrites. What kind of people allow mindless worshipers to gather at red carpets without telling them to go and get lives? Who are you that you bask in the adoration of fools? Who are you that you cannot see what all of that plastic surgery is doing to your faces? Can't you see how hideous you have become? Who are you?

We ask you, "What about pretending to be other people qualifies you for foreign policy, social reform, democracy vs. socialism (which you openly and constantly champion)." Your product is propaganda and it is devoid of truth. You, for some reason try to push your perversion on our children. Why is it important to you to sex our young children? Billy Ray, Why are you prostituting your daughter? Who are you people? Alec Baldwin, who are you that you are better than anyone else? I know that construction workers get dirty and do not wear expensive loafers but how are you better than them. Sandra Bernhardt threatens Sarah Palin that she will get gang raped if she comes into Manhattan. All the while you decry cigarettes as evil. You love evil dictator Castro but you tell James Dobson that he is evil and dangerous to Americans. Who are you people?

This I can promise you Hollywood: When society breaks down you better be ready. You better arm yourselves with the weapons that the 2nd amendment allows you to have. You better stock up on provisions. You need to get very comfortable with your homes because you will not be safe out in public. Yours will be a very dangerous life when all of these illegals you champion are no longer able to earn $8/hr and have dozens of mouths to feed. You scantly clad whores who subliminally tell out daughters that you will be loved when you allow any and all men to defile your bosom; your message to our daughters will become your reality, but violently. Be very cautious of the real American man. He has taken note of your treason. He has earnestly, with tears and desperation, fought against the influence that you have tried to impose over his children and their lives. The American father has been taking note. What seed does not grow when it is placed in fertile soil, faithfully watered and cultivated? The seeds that you have sown will become your reality. You will reap what you have sown.

What will you do in the day of reckoning when disaster comes from afar, but to crouch among the captives and lie among the slain! And for all of this the real American man, his fists are upraised and his anger burns hot. Beware of the anger that has burned for a multitude of sins against it's freedom and children.
