“When these things
begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads because your
redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:29).
Hey gang: We recently
returned from a Prophecy Conference. Normal questions from friends and brothers
and sisters in Christ, “How was it?” How
does one say great- when the theme of the conference was the coming end of this
age and that billions of people on going to perish if they do not get their
hearts right with Jesus. There were
thirty-three presenters offering eighty workshops in 3 days!
The Presenters came
from all over the United States and several from overseas; they had very little
opportunity to make contact with each other.
The only instruction given to them was time and place of their workshops. But, yet, there was a similar theme that ran
through nearly all of the eighty workshops, “GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!”
I am writing this
Gramps message the night before the mid-term elections. One has to have their head buried deep in
the sand not to realize the importance of this election. In 2016, just a week before the election
day, our President was seven points down, or so said the very liberal press,
but that was before God took control of the ballot box and the hearts of many
of God’s people.
There is no question
with the liberal media against him, the Hollywood contingent and of course the
very left leaning democratic faithful, that they had the election in their
party and were in the process of how they would remove Christ from more than
the halls of government - but from the nation.
But, at that time, God said, “No,
I love this country, the land of the free and the brave; a nation founded on My
principles and freedom to worship Me at any time and any place. It was the faith
of the Founding Fathers that paved the way for greatness.”
The late Dr. James Kennedy, influential pastor of Coral
Ridge Presbyterian Church in Florida, who shared this observation: “In reading the Constitution of all fifty
states, I discovered…there is in all fifty, without exception, an appeal or a
prayer to the Almighty God of the universe…Through all fifty state
Constitutions, without exception, there runs this same appeal and reverence to
God who is the Creator of our liberties and the preserver of out freedoms”.
General Omar Bradley,was the first officer assigned as
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff after World War II. He stated this powerful insight, “We have
grasped the mystery of the atom and ejected the Sermon on the Mount…The world
has achieved brilliance without conscience.
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants”.
Paul gives us warning, “Beware
lest anyone cheat you though philosophy and empty deceit, according to the
tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not
according to Christ”. (Col. 2:8). He
went on in verse 10, “We cannot rely
upon philosophy and tradition to show us truth.
In stead, we must continually gauge the world’s message through the
Bible to see how it compares to the Lord’s ultimate truth. When we do. God promises that we will be
“complete in Him”.
I asked the question, “Is our president a temporary road
block? We will find out tomorrow whether
He, God Almighty, is willing to extend that road block for another two years to
see if we get our head out of the sand and return to the roots of our Founding Fathers. If not, I pray, God have mercy on our Nation!
Blessings,
Gramps
