I came across these stories this morning and they stopped me in my tracks. The mainstream press isn’t telling us about any of this stuff and it is deadly serious! God bless please share this story!
It gives me no pleasure to write things like this but it’s part of my calling, to call out sin where and when I see it and America is full of it (sin).
2 Chronicles 7:14 is a scripture that’s quoted by the American liberty movement quite often. It says that if we humble ourselves, seek God and turn from our wicked ways that He will heal our land. That sounds great right? Why don’t we get right on that? How would we do that as a nation? What would that look like? We can get a glimpse of it by going back to the Old Testament.
This story is found in Jonah 1:1-2, where God asked Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach against it because of its wickedness before God. Unlike his previous experience where he ran away and ended up inside a whale, this time he obeyed. Jonah preached of the coming judgment to the city of Nineveh (Jonah 3:4), to which they responded from the greatest to the least, by believing God, fasting, and putting on sackcloth (Jonah 3:5).
How many people in America can we get to do those things? How many could we get to even HUMBLE themselves? That is America’s giant Achilles heel, PRIDE. God hates pride. He rails against it in many different scriptures Want proof? Check out these scriptures against PRIDE. Which brings me to our current President of the United States, Donald J Trump.
The media tried to warn us about the kind of man Donald Trump really was but everyone jumped on the “fake news” catchphrase and bandwagon. I admit it was refreshing hearing someone put the media whores in the place but it was all based on emotions. Even the “libtard” Huffington Post got the truth out to us back in July 2016 but because of the source, no one listened. You can read the rest of the article here, but I’ll post some highlights below.
Jesus: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you.”
Trump: “When people wrong you, go after those people, because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it. I always get even.”
Jesus: “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Trump: “Why do I have to repent, why do I have to ask for forgiveness if [I’m] not making mistakes?”
And finally the coup de grace
Jesus: “Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Trump: “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.”
How are we supposed to humble ourselves from the greatest to the least when we have a President and leaders like this? Our President is the personification of foolish pride and self aggrandizement. He is the symbol of victory for many in the Evangelical community despite all of the evidence they’ve been shown. He is the ultimate sheep in wolves clothing.
Humbling ourselves, prayer and seeking God’s face is what we as believers should be doing on a daily basis. But we are a peculiar people (1 Peter 2:9) so the world at large will continue to not understand. Unless one is born again spiritually it is impossible to understand God’s word and His ways. I would LOVE IT if we could make 2 Chronicles 7:14 work for the WORLD, not just America. Sadly our foolish pride will keep it from happending.
God bless and remember, seek first the kingdom everyday and everything else will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
Iran has responded to the assassination of General Soleimani after he was laid to rest in Iran today. The response was 2 salvos of short range ballistic missiles fired from Iran at 2 different American bases in Iraq. The Americans said no one was hurt while the Arabic press is spouting off about American casualties.
Now that the missile salvos are over Iran says it will stand down and will attack no more unless the US attacks again. What a mess. However IF the US truly wants a cease fire it appears they can have one. Tomorrow morning President Trump will make an address to the nation. The time hasn’t been announced as of yet but we expect some sort of short statement.
God bless and stay prayed up and ready!
This is what I hear in the background when I see how the Evangelicals keep justifying everything Donald Trump says and does. I know that scripture has to do with the Crucifixion of Jesus and not His birth (it’s Christmas eve 2019) but yet it fits with what’s going on today.
As we know President Trump is very upset because of an article written by magazine Christianity Today that called for Trumps removal. The article cited Trump’s “profoundly immoral” conduct in office among other things and called for his impeachment and removal from office.
Now the magazine has renewed it’s criticism as stated here in this Reuters article:
Christianity Today, the magazine founded by the late Reverend Billy Graham, renewed its criticism of President Donald Trump in a new editorial that cited his “misuses of power” and asked fellow Christians to examine their loyalty to him, days after a controversial editorial that called for his impeachment.
The 130,000-circulation magazine, which has 4.3 million monthly website viewers, in its editorial last week cited Trump’s “profoundly immoral” conduct in office, drawing immediate criticism from Trump and dozens of evangelical leaders.
But the magazine’s president, Timothy Dalrymple, wrote in the editorial, headlined “The Flag in the Whirlwind,” that evangelicals’ embrace of Trump means being tied to his “rampant immorality, greed, and corruption; his divisiveness and race-baiting; his cruelty and hostility to immigrants and refugees.”
“With profound love and respect,” Dalrymple said, “we ask our brothers and sisters in Christ to consider whether they have given to Caesar what belongs only to God: their unconditional loyalty.”
The editorial praised the Trump administration’s judicial appointment, “advocacy of life, family, and religious liberty.” But it said, “It is one thing to praise his accomplishments; it is another to excuse and deny his obvious misuses of power.
Dalrymple pledged to open up a “serious discussion about how our activity as Christians shapes our activity as citizens” in 2020. He declined to be interviewed until after the Christmas holiday.
Not to be outdone, nearly 200 evangelical leaders condemned the article by Christianity Today. In part their statement said that the magazine “offensively questioned the spiritual integrity and Christian witness of tens-of-millions of believers who take seriously their civic and moral obligations,”. In other words these so called “leaders” don’t like it when their sin is laid bare for the world to see. A blind man could see how they’re compromising with the god of this world. In my opinion that’s one of the biggest problem the church has, spiritual blindness.
Their letter to the magazine continues; “We are, in fact, not ‘far-right’ evangelicals as characterized by the author,” the letter said. “Rather, we are Bible-believing Christians and patriotic Americans who are simply grateful that our president has sought our advice as his administration has advanced policies that protect the unborn, promote religious freedom, reform our criminal justice system, contribute to strong working families through paid family leave, protect the freedom of conscience, prioritize parental rights, and ensure that our foreign policy aligns with our values while making our world safer, including through our support of the State of Israel.”
As always it comes back to “support of the State of Israel” for these folks. They believe in the false doctrine of Israel first and the pre-trib rapture with a coming anti-christ. What they don’t (or do) realize is that the man they’re serving is the very same anti-christ they’ve been warning themselves about for decades.
By continuing to support Trump no matter what he says or does, the so called Evangelical leaders are saying “we have no king but Caesar” just as the Pharisees and their followers did at the crucifixion. Soon we will be coming into a time when disloyalty to Trump will be considered a crime. It’s not here yet but it’s coming, you can bet on it. Then these same ‘leaders” will send the thought police and their drones after us, the remnant who refuses to worship the beast or take his mark.
Something shifted in the spiritual realm as we went into the winter solstice this year, 2019. The other day it was dark at 10:30 am like we were going into a sunset. That was a manifestation of something that happened on the spiritual side of the ether. Stay ready at all times, especially spiritually. Jesus said there would be things coming upon the earth that would make mens hearts fail them (Luke 21:26) and I believe we will start seeing some supernatural things. Soon.
Prayed up and prepped up!

Of course nothing could be further from the truth than that statement but nonetheless U.S. Sec. of State Pompeo declared it anyway. It appears that the US government will continue to make up international law to favor it and Israel’s conquests around the world. After all it was just last week when President Trump said we were indeed taking Syria’s oil. All to fund the moderate rebels of course. Yeah right.
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Woe unto those who call evil good and good evil. Isaiah 5:20
From RT.com
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced a U-turn in policy toward Israeli settlements in the West Bank, declaring Washington no longer sees them as inconsistent with international law.
Pompeo said the US will no longer adhere to the 1978 State Department legal opinion on the settlements, and insisted that it would not lead to the US’ isolation from the rest of the global community on the issue.
The US’ top diplomat said the Trump administration will leave the status of the West Bank to Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate.
Pompeo said the decision came as a result of a “legal review” and was not intended to send any message, though the move is likely to anger the Palestinian side and human rights groups who have condemned the settlements and say they undermine peace efforts.
The Trump administration has been a staunch ally of Netanyahu’s government and consistently taken Israel’s side on major issues, calling into question Washington’s ability to be a neutral arbiter in any peace process. In 2017, Trump recognized the contested Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the US embassy there from Tel Aviv. Last year, Trump recognized Israel’s 1981 seizure of Syria’s Golan Heights as legitimate.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also condemned the move, saying through a spokesman that Pompeo’s statement “totally contradicts” international law and called on other nations to “declare their opposition.”
The US embassy in Jerusalem issued a travel warning to Americans shortly after Pompeo’s comments, warning those traveling through Jerusalem, the West Bank, or Gaza to maintain “a high level of vigilance” and to take “appropriate steps to increase their security awareness in light of the current environment.”
The statement warned that individuals or groups opposed to the policy change may target US government facilities and US citizens.
A new report in The Wall Street Journal has found that Turkish-backed Syrian forces currently fighting US-backed Kurdish groups as part of ‘Operation Peace Spring’ are guilty of war crimes, including summary executions of Kurdish civilians.
“U.S. military officials watched live drone feeds last month that appeared to show Turkish-backed Arab gunmen targeting civilians during their assault on Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria, attacks the Americans reported to their commanders as possible war crimes, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the incidents,” reports the WSJ.
What the report fails to mention, however, is the blatantly obvious and relevant recent history that the Islamist militants carrying out such atrocities are the very same militants which were a few short years ago funded, armed and trained by the CIA and Pentagon.
Look at what the US has created and weep America. This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to what your government is doing.
The development comes after Washington decided to withdraw US troops from northeastern Syria following the start of a Turkish military operation against Kurdish forces on October 9.
A column of US troops has returned to northeastern Syria’s al-Hasakah Province from Iraq, Syria TV reports.
The news outlet claimed that “the column of American occupation forces entered […] the province through the illegal al-Walid border crossing” and that the column, which includes “dozens of soldiers and military hardware” is covered by US combat helicopters.
This comes a day after US Defence Secretary Mark Esper said that the US would maintain a “reduced presence” in Syria, citing concerns about Daesh terrorists taking control of nearby oil fields.
Almost two weeks ago, Esper pledged that the US would withdraw all of its force of 1,000 soldiers from northeastern Syria, after Turkey launched its military operation in the area to drive Kurdish militias and remaining Daesh militants away from the border.
Russia Concerned Over US Military Returning to Northern Syria
Commenting on Esper’s statement that some US troops will remain in north-eastern Syria, Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that the statement did not come as a surprise.
“What Washington does now – the capture and holding under its armed control of oil fields in Eastern Syria is, simply speaking, international state banditism,” he stressed, adding that Syrian oil reserves and other mineral resources belong solely to the Syrian Arab Republic, not to Daesh or to “American protectors from Daesh terrorists”.
He also said that “neither international law, nor the American legislation itself can justify the US troops’ goal to guard Syrian hydrocarbon reserves from Syria itself and its people.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov suggested that the fresh contradictory signals the US has sent regarding Syria may indicate Washington’s desire to maintain conditions that allow for continued pressure on Damascus.
“We are very definitely worried that the signals from the White House may reflect the same attitude: to preserve the conditions for continuing multi-component pressure on the legitimate authorities in Damascus”, he pointed out, adding that “this is the moment we don’t agree and we can’t agree with the United States on the situation.”
He said that Moscow “would not like new complications” on the Syria issue, touting the work that “has been done at the level of the leadership of Russia and Turkey in recent days.”
“The results of the negotiations in Sochi should not tempt anyone to reformat or change something again,” Ryabkov emphasised. From Sputnik
