"STICK TO THE DEVIL YOU KNOW"

In Rudyard Kipling's Poem "The Gods of the Copybook Heading" I found two very profound passages, the first one, is the title of today's Blog. The second is as follows: "When the Cambrian measures were forming, they promised perpetual peace. They swore if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we disarmed, they sold us, and delivered us "bound" to our foe. And the Gods of the Copybook Heading said, stick to the devil you know."

A copybook was used in classrooms up till the end of World War II, it is merely a book used to practice one's handwriting. At the top of each page was a proverb, maxim, or quotation that was copied by the writer all the way down the page, for handwriting practice. The "Cambrian measures" Kipling was referring too, was the formation of Wales off the coast of Briton, way back in the prehistoric eras. The "They" that the poem refers too, is assumed to be one of the many clans of the period, when civilizations were struggling with one another for domination of the land.

The poem speaks about how one person or an entire society can be lulled into ceding what is theirs on the promise of something better. Humans are easily deceived, and manipulated when strife is present in their lives. The warning however, is that trusting someone who appears to be your friend, but you really don't know him to be, can in fact be even more dangerous than the enemy you do know and recognise. A wolf in sheep's clothing as it were. Just as we can glean the dangerous act of disarming the citizens, from Kipling's poem. We must also be aware of the internal subversion of our government. Which brings to mind a partial statement made by Marcus Tullius Cicero to the ancient Roman Senate. "A nation can survive it's fools, and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within." this is exactly what's happening to our government today. The two problems we as citizens are facing, go hand in hand. The progressives are trying to disarm us, and at the same time they are usurping the power of the people through insider, and backroom schemes. The ultimate goal of these progressive traitors, is control of the populace. Make no mistake about their devious intentions, or their ardor to accomplish them.

God help us! Pray for the conversion of Islam, and the Holy Spirit conviction of our nation's leaders.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, I think?????/

New Year's Eve, everyone. I truly wish I could say that I'm looking forward to a better year in 2010. I can't, and I am sorry!!! For 2010 to be a better year for America, things would have had to change by the end of 2009, and as you all know, changes have been made, but not for the good of the United States, or it's people. Things that need to change to make things better in 2010 are: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, need to hand in their respective resignations to the American people, along with a written apology for trying to destroy the Constitution, and literally rape and pillage the American taxpayer. At the same time, the entire Obama appointed cabinet must also clean out their desks, and give up their keys to the White House Executive Restrooms and to the National Treasury. I think that these actions would most certainly place America on the right track.

Their are some absolutes that need to be clarified: 1.) YES, we are at war with Islam, as they have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are at war with us. 2.) Islamic Terrorists need to be tried as terrorists, not as a bunch of youngsters who fell in with the wrong crowd. 3.) We must discontinue the punishment of law-abiding American citizens for what the Islamic Terrorists are doing. Allow me to clarify that last statement: When Islamic terrorists hijacked the passenger jets on 9/11 and attacked the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon, and numerous members of our civilian population, it was the innocent flying passenger that was punished by new and restrictive security measures at airports. We all know why, because "PROFILING" was deemed an infringement on terrorist rights. Then came along the Islamic Muslim Shoe bomber, now everyone is subjected to removing their shoes at airport security stations. We all know why, right? Because "PROFILING" is an infringement on Islamic Terrorist Rights. Now this past week, we have the Islamic Muslim Nigerian "FRUIT OF THE BOOM, bomber. I can only imagine what innocent travelers will have to endure at the expense of protecting Islamic Muslim Terrorist rights this time. Perhaps, we will be required to remove our underwear so that the scanners can pick up any and explosive residue, Lord I sincerely hope this will not be the case. All kidding aside, and I'm not kidding. We are playing catch up ball, where airport security is concerned. First the cockpit access doors, then the shoes, I didn't even mention the liquid containers, we can't even carry cough syrup on board any more. Now, like I said it's going to be our underwear that will be under close scrutiny. Our airport security must start using a profiling method, it's simple. If all the terrorists have been Arab, then Arabs need to be checked. If they have all been between the ages of 18 and 30, and they have a one way ticket, they paid cash for their ticket, the have no luggage except carry-on, they look nervous and shifty-eyed, they need to be scrutinized more than the little old Caucasian lady in the wheel chair. The time to crack down on these Islamic Terrorists is now, and personally, I don't care if profiling upsets the Muslims in America, or anywhere for that matter. When Islamic Terrorists stop trying to kill innocent American civilians, then we can stop profiling. It's time to get our nation's security on the right track, before once again it's too late.

God Bless America in this coming year. Pray for the conversion of Islam.

COURAGE IN TODAYS WORLD

I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:39, 39)

Take courage in knowing that the Lord will not abandon you, only you, can abandon the Lord. Our Federal Government appears to be ferocious in their attempts to make us abandon God. They want "In God We Trust" taken from our currency. They want the "Ten Commandments" removed from all government and public properties. Just exactly where do they think the morals, and laws were derived from? The Ten Commandments were the most profound and instrumental basis for determining right from wrong, ever written. Without adherence to the Ten Commandments, our country would not have prospered, or become the beacon or the support and the example to all nations that we are today. The Ten Commandments have always been the one crucial determining factor in the growth of this "Christian Nation".

So if the government wants the Lord removed, does that mean that if they are successful, then we can all expect mail delivery on Sundays, and Christmas, and Easter? Will it mean that Barack Obama won't be making a huge carbon footprint and using so much jet fuel to take his entire family to Hawaii for Christmas vacation, at the taxpayer's expense. If Christmas, and Easter, are deemed "just another day", will that mean our congress, and judiciary will be available, without paying overtime, because you don't pay overtime if holidays are not holidays anymore. Just think, Nancy Pelosi would have no reason to hurry home to California for Christmas, and she could just keep the House of Representatives in session. After all, I'm sure she would vote to have the Lord removed from America altogether. Think of how much money the government could save, if non-believers didn't get Christmas, or Easter off. For that matter, Sunday is a day set aside each week for Christians to Worship, and rest. Non-believers, well, maybe they could work those Sundays, sort of take up the slack, after all, to them Sunday would just be another day of the week. Atheists, would love that, they wouldn't be forced into taking a nasty religious holy day off at the end of each week. We could just save Sunday for Christian Believers. Maybe, just maybe, that would work. I kind of doubt it though, even atheists and government officials don't mind stealing time from Christians as long as they themselves gain from it.

Here's some food for thought: The Secretary of Homeland Security says that " Right now, we have no indication that Abdulmutallab's actions were part of anything larger." That's right, she was serious. Janet Napolitano, is either a complete and total inept dufus, or she thinks the American people are stupid enough to buy that? It never ceases to amaze me that we have a President, a Secretary of State, a Secretary of Defense, and a Secretary of Homeland Security, and none of them know who our enemies are. Personally, I think Obama knows, but he doesn't care, as he is our worst enemy, and we put him in charge. Thank God we didn't all vote for him. If we did, the entire nation would now be in a deep state of depression, as if financial depression isn't already bad enough.

God Help Us! Pray for the conversion of Islam, and for the Holy Spirit conviction of our government leaders...

P.S. Thank you "Anonymous" for your comment on yesterday's BLOG, your input is important to me, and I appreciate it very much. God Bless You, I pray your Christmas was a blessed one, my best to you for the coming New Year. ~Jer

I am the way, the truth, and the life!!! (John14:6)

John14:6... I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Jesus wasn't kidding around when he told His apostles this. He also told them that if they know Him, they also know the Father. "If you have seen Me, you have also seen the Father" Please read all of John14, you'll be enlightened, and inspired to walk closer with the Lord. If we are to make it to heaven, we must know who God is, believe that Jesus is God. Accept the Lord's gift of salvation, by accepting Jesus, the Son of God into our hearts, and give our hearts to Him.

Something that this administration seems to have forgotten. The Christmas celebration is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Without Jesus, there is no Christmas, no celebration, no forgiveness of sins, no way to eternal life. I guess if you can live without these things, then you can follow Obama's lead. Keeping in mind however, the road to hell is wide, and the road to heaven is narrow. Without Jesus, there is no narrow road, only the wide road, for me, that is not an option. I will continue to speak the praises of the Lord Jesus, and as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. If that offends anyone, or someone, it doesn't matter to me. My relationship with Jesus is all I need for my salvation, and redemption.

The shape of our nation dictates for me to send out this alert. "If you are not walking with the Lord right now, this very minute. If you are not 100% sure you are going to heaven, it is time for you to accept Jesus's gift of salvation. I fear, that time is truly running out. Because I love you all, and I do not wish any of you to die in sin, I encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour. If you don't do it for me, then you must surely do it for yourself. God Bless You!!!

PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

Eph 6: 10-18.

You will not be fighting against flesh, but against authorities, and rulers, and the dark forces of this earth.

God has warned man time and time again. When it is time to fight for what is right and good, there will be no sitting on the fence. It is advisable that one give serious thought to walking closer with the Lord, there will be some very trying times ahead, even as this new year approaches, know that things will get more difficult for Christians. When Barack Obama declared that America is no longer just a Christian nation, when for Christmas this year he decided not to put up the White House Nativity, he decided not to have Christianity represented in any form on White House Seasonal decorations, but instead, on the "holiday tree" there were ornaments with the faces of Chairman Mao, and some transvestite named Heddi. No Baby Jesus, no Mary and Joseph. Obama declared that Christmas will not be a Christian religious Holiday, but instead a multi-cultural season of celebration. This offends me, and it should offend you. Has it occurred to you that Christians are the only ones being forced to have their Holy Days placed on the sacrificial altar? Have the Muslims been told that Ramadan is no longer a Holy time for Islam, but it belongs to people of all religions. of course not. Have the Jews been told that Hanukkah belongs to every religion, not just Jews, no of course not. I don't know about all of you, but I know what Christmas means, and I know that it is a Christian Holy Day, and it is unique to Christians. It is the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and that is all Christmas needs to be. Just because Obama says it's not only a Christian Holiday, doesn't change the meaning. Christmas, my dear friends will always be what it is!

1st Timothy 4:1-3 In the latter times, some will depart from the Faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. The correlation between the world we face today, and the above scripture is uncanny. Our government lies to the people, hypocrisy abounds in Washington, D.C.. Our legislator's are giving heed to deceiving spirits and the doctrines of demons more and more each day. The leaders of this country are so worried about the survival of polar bears, yet they have little concern for the millions of unborn babies murdered each year. They place the rights of the ungodly above the welfare of the Godly. There is an upheaval in our land, and our leaders have turned their backs on God. Christians are as much to blame for the situation our country is in, we have turned our backs to the dishonesty and corruption because of the benefits we received from it. No longer can we do this, we must repent before the Lord, and somehow right the wrongs we have allowed to happen. We must pray for forgiveness, and strength in order to persevere. God Help Us. Pray for the conversion of Islam.
