Freedom

It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us the freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us Freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the Freedom to demonstrate,

It is the soldier, who serves beneath the Flag, Who salutes the Flag,

Whose coffin is draped by the Flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the Flag,

It is the soldier, not the politician, Who has given his blood, his body, his life, Who has given us these FREEDOM.

Father Denis Edward O'Brien, USMC!

Thank You For Your Service!

Lucifer - The Original Fascist

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:06:00 +0000

Liberal Fascism, a book by Jonah Goldberg, is a must read for all prophetic seekers of Christ's Second Coming! This book is officially endorsed by The Ignorant Fishermen blog. Liberal Fascism historically documents the outworking, mindset and strategic game plan of the ideological phenomenon of liberal socialistic fascism in both the past and present. This insight is absolutely key to understanding present moods and trends on both a national and global scale. As prophetic events are unfolding right before our eyes, we who know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior understand that greater things are at work than the ambitions of power crazed politicians. The Bible - Almighty God's Word - states:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12)."

.
This present spiritual war is far greater then we could ever imagine. It’s far beyond what unregenerate humanity can think or know. Almighty God’s Word is absolutely crucial for rightly understanding the reality of His out-working in time and eternity (Ps 119: 160, Jn 16:13-14).

The Coming Fascist of all Fascist

Even now the stage is being set for the coming of Lucifer’s (Satan’s) Fascist of all fascists. This end-time dictator is also known as The Man of Lawlessness, The Little Horn, The Beast and The Anti-Christ. This man will rise to absolute global power and authority and will dominate the world for three and one half years. Through the means of violent force, aggression, fear and terror, he will seek to maintain his global fascist power over the world (Dan. 7:8, 17-26, 9:26, 11:36-45, Luke 4:6, 2 Thess. 2:3-9, Rev. 13, 17:8,11-17). He will seek and promote the worship of both himself and of Lucifer (Dan. 11:38-39, Luke 4:6-7, 2 Thess. 2:4, Rev 13:4). In the end all of his vain efforts will be brought to complete ruin, in which no one shall deliver him (Dan. 7:26, 11:45, 2 Thess. 2:2-8, Rev 19:20). Finally, Lucifer and his Global Fascist rebellion will be absolutely decimated at the Battle of Armageddon, where he and his Chief Minion (i.e., Anti-Christ) will be sentenced and judged at Christ’s glorious second return. (2 Thess. 2:8, Rev. 19:11-21).

The Original Fascist

Rules for Radicals is a book by Saul Alinsky which is dedicated to the original radical, Lucifer, who is also known as Satan, the Devil, The Old Serpent, and The Dragon (Rev.12:2,20:2). All other dinky despots have their roots in this arch-villain. In this book is found the following:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

As insane as that quote and dedication sounds, a great many Leftist in America today - including Obama - are following in the very footprints of their master, i.e., Lucifer (John 8:44). Multitudes today are ripe for the taking - nationally and globally - for Lucifer’s ultimate deception, the worship of the beast and himself, the Abomination of Desolation. Lucifer has always sought the overthrow of Almighty God and to install himself as the Despotic Fascist of God’s heaven and earth.

The Fascist phenomenon is rooted and based in the total seizure of power and control. It's tactics are fear and terror. Ever since Lucifer’s expulsion from the Heights of Heaven (Is. 14:12-17, Ez. 28:12-19), he has sought to fight “tooth and nail” against the eternal establishment of Almighty God - his Creator - and to overthrow His Eternal Person and Authority.

The events that followed after his expulsion from his heavenly position (Is. 14:12-17, Ez. 28:12-19) demonstrate the rebellious, radical outworking of his heart. From the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:1-19, John 8:44, Rom. 5:12,19), to The City and Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9), to the use of godless nations (Luke 4:6, Eph. 2:1-3, Rev. 20:30) and the corruption of the faithful in Old Testament Israel, to the Crucifixion (Gen 3:15, Luke 22:1-6) of Almighty God the Son at Calvary in which Christ rose victorious from the dead (Acts 2:24), to The Battle of Armageddon (Rev 16:13-16, 19:11-21), and finally at the end of the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, The Son of God (Rev 20: 7-9).

Lucifer is the Master Politician, his genius and political savvy are exponentially greater than that of any and all human beings. He is the Original Fascist and Architect of the fascist ideology and the Demonic Despot of Almighty God’s creation. His end will be absolutely fatal and his judgment eternal in the Lake of Fire (Gen 3:15, Is.14:15-17, Ez. 28:16-18, Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:10).

As these present days are setting the stage for Lucifer’s Global Fascist, the Anti-Christ, may many find the fulfilling of all their hope and expectations in the Eternal Person of Almighty God! May many come to know His saving grace and the wonderful liberty and certainty of the great precious truths and promises of Almighty God (2 Cor. 1:20, Heb. 6:18 a, 2 Petr. 1:4).

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you (Christ), than he that is in the world (Lucifer) -1 John 4:4.

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

Welcome to Bizarro America! The World of Liberalism

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:26:00 +0000

What happened to the America we all once knew and loved? The land of - baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. The land of the free and the home of the brave. A country where its citizens felt safe and happy and proud to proclaim, “God bless America!” It seems like those noble ideals which made our country strong and great are fast slipping away and being replaced by the strange and bizarre. As some of our readers may recall, the Bizarro World was a fictitious planet in the DC comics universe, first appearing in the early 1960s. In the Bizarro world of "Htrae" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states, "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!” (BEL I.F.)

So without any further ado we say,

Welcome to Bizarro America (or “Acirema”)....

- where our country was founded by Fascists, Socialists, and Secular Materialists

- where abortion, godless immorality, slothfulness and base secularism are called virtues and protected as constitutional rights

- where the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Pro - Choice, the Gay Lobby, and Leftist College Professors are noble and just

- where Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Karl Marx are great statesmen

- where Hollywood, Madonna, Brittney Spears, MTV and the mother who has an abortion are role models for our youth

- where the American flag, capitalism and private enterprise, personal morality and Judean/ Christian values are viewed as evil

- where people like Sarah Palin, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Rush Limbaugh, Jim Vicevich, and the Lord Jesus Christ (Who is Almighty God the Son) are wicked and evil haters (Isa 5:20).

"Political Correctness has destroyed this great nation and has made right and wrong obsolete.”

This is the delusional world of the reprobate mindset of the secular liberals in America today. They slander and vilify any and all that do not line up with their Bizarro American vision for this country. They label as extremists those who practice morality and believe in absolutes (e.g., natural and spiritual laws), going so far as to call them haters, cold-hearted, evil, intolerant, racist and their always favorite tag: Nazis. They are extremely motivated by envy, desperately and defensively driven to push their Bizarro ideology on the will of the American people. They are “180 degrees backwards” in all of their ideology and rationale, which are devoid of any truth. Their subjective, sensual, carnally dominated ideology rejects the concept of absolute truth in all forms (spiritual, moral and natural). Thus, these secular Leftists deny and distort facts that are proven, information that is clear-cut and conclusions that are obvious to any reasonably minded individual. Slander and defamation is their only recourse in any discussion (Psalm 49:20; 92:6; 1 Cor. 1:27-28; Philip. 3:18-19; James 3:14-16; 2 Peter 2:12; Jude 1:10).

"This is the delusional world of the reprobate mindset of the secular liberals in America today. They slander and vilify any and all that do not line up with their Bizarro American vision for this country."

This thinking is nothing new today; this ideology has dominated the world even before the creation of the World. It appeared first in God’s Heaven where Lucifer and his angels rebelled against pure (undefiled) reality, thus abandoning eternal (spiritual) absolutes for a delusion (Isa. 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:11-19; John 8:44; 1 John 3:8). It next appeared in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3); then in the days of Noah (Genesis 7-8); after that at Babel where its inhabitants rejected Divine revelation for a delusion, which continues until this day (Gen. 11:1-9; John 3:19; Rom. 1:18-32).

The grand conclusion of this madness is coming up in the near future and will be the apex of the upside down, “Bizarro” mindset under Lucifer’s global fascist, the Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:7-12). Lucifer and his Lawless minion will institute a secular lawless movement of global proportions in “the Abomination of Desolation” or “The Image of the Beast” (Dan. 9:27; Rev. 13:14-15) and “the Mark of the Beast” (Rev. 13:16-18). This apocalyptic movement will be the pinnacle of the abandonment of absolute reality and truth. The end result of this delusion will be the eternal ruin and damnation of billions (Rev. 19:19-21; 20:11-15). (Chart link)

Hear what Almighty God - the Author, Designer and Creator of the cosmos and all spiritual and natural laws governing Heaven and Earth - has to say about these reprobates:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20).

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness (Rom. 1:18).

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are an abomination (a vile stench) to the LORD (Proverbs 17:15).

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil (John 3:19).

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44).

The liberal, secular movement of today is and has been accelerating at an exponential rate. It now dominates all facets of government, the media and the entertainment industry in the U.S.A. It is going to dominate the world coming up very soon under Lucifer’s Anti – Christ (The Man of Lawlessness) The social and cultural landscape in America is a wasteland polluted with the refuse of “Bizarro” thinking and ideology.

In the midst of godless social engineering and a nation on the verge of collapse, the God of truth is the only true refuge today.

My friend, Conservatives also need to possess a saving faith in Almighty God. A life that is morally upright and socially upstanding still falls short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23; Eph. 2:8-9).

In these days of truly “Bizarro” thinking and backward values, may you know the God of Truth, and if you do already, may He guard and keep your hearts and minds in perfect peace (Philip. 4:7).

May your lives be rooted and founded on His Sure Foundation, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock (Matt 7:24-25).

My Friends, The Kingdom of heaven is truly at hand!

U.S. National Health Care Reform - Setting The Stage For The Anti - Christ

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:02:00 +0000

In light of the Red Democratic Party's victory today in passing health care reform legislation in the House of Representatives.

The cry and mantra we’re now hearing from the Obama administration and the Leftist Secular controlled Democratic Party is that we have to have a National Health Care bill passed and in place before the beginning of the summer congressional recess.

The urgency and subtlety of this bill is quite telling. Some common tactics used by the Left are camouflage, deception, manipulation, connivery and demagoguery to get the agenda that they want. It is the Left’s agenda with this issue - as well as many others - to seize massive power and control in a fascist style and manner. It is their sole desire. They are all about control and power. They are drunk with it and as an addict would, they will do whatever it takes to seize it. It is a Leftist trait.

Have you ever noticed how the Mainstream (a.k.a. the “State Run”) Media, which are of the same secular, leftist, liberal mindset, are also pushing this agenda with great passion and drive. They also have visions of an utopian, secular state. In the Leftist worldview, the state is God and all are to serve her and the elite ruling class. This ideology has been taking hold of American politics at an alarming rate. It is true that the majority of Americans are not of this persuasion, but those in power are. These have a massive stranglehold on the citizens of America and are suffocating their victims with a subtle, incrementally strengthening choke maneuver.

"It is the Left’s agenda with this issue - as well as many others - to seize massive power and control in a fascist style and manner. It is their sole desire. They are all about control and power. They are drunk with it and as an addict would, they will do whatever it takes to seize it. It is a Leftist trait."

In the last year we have seen a government takeover of the auto industry and much of the banking industry, a trillion dollar stimulus pork sandwich bill, billions of dollars funneled to leftist organizations, billions of unaccountable spending, the demonization of anything conservative or moral and a mainstream media come unglued to the point that Rush Limbaugh calls them the “State Run Media.” We have passed the point of no return and the majority of those in the conservative movement and media know it. They are holding back the fracturing dam with their fingers in the holes – just like the little Dutch boy once did – but it is just a matter of time before the total implosion of our democratically run republic occurs. Notice also how the recent legislation that was passed and signed was basically jammed down the throats of the American people at record speeds. This is deception and despotism walking together hand-in-hand. They make a lovely couple, according to the Leftist mindset.

The Vehicle and Slave Class Army

The Left knows that the socially dependent, who have been absolutely ravished by leftist policies over the years, lean most heavily on the Democratic Party. These are the most susceptible to “The State is God” ideology. The Left seeks to use these and their captive mindset, bitterness, entitlement and “scapegoating” mentality, narcissistic victim status ideology and jealousy-induced hatred to greatly intimidate the working class and the wealthy. This Leftist tactic is not new. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Mao have all used this strategy to their benefit and have succeeded.

Notice how the Leftist Democratic Party holds their “subjects” – the socially downcast and dependent multitudes - a.k.a "The Poor" - in total bondage and oppression. What is even more amazing is how these multitudes serve the Left with love and dedication. When it comes to gaining and establishing a power base, the masses of the socially dependent are a mighty army. The Left certainly realizes this and exploits it to their full advantage.

When passed, National Health Care will be the ultimate power grab to fully guarantee and firmly establish the Left’s power base. Their grand delusion and utopian vision of “The State is God” will finally have begun, commencing a Slave State of fascist origin. When this happens, America will be sucked into the godless Anti-Judean/Christian vacuum and become part of the Global godless machine. What hope then is there for all the oppressed peoples of the earth? None. But they will look for a man to fill the void, and they will put all their trust in him to their utter doom (Dan.9:26,27, Matt. 24:15, 1 Thess. 5:3, 2 Thess. 2:3, Rev 6:1).

Who is Truly Working Behind the Scenes?

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6:12)

The majority of Americans today are fully oblivious to the Master Politician who is pulling all the political and social strings for his own means (Luke 4:5-6; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:2, Rom. 8:5-8, Jude 10-19). Without the Word of God and a saving relationship to Almighty God, one is an absolute slave to bondage of sin and to the god of this world (John 3:3-7, 12; Roms 7:24, Eph. 2:1-3). Unknowingly they serve a despotic, oppressing master who provides a slavish diet for their famished and unregenerate soul. They are the sin-enslaved and unregenerate-minded masses comprising the human race who walk in the darkness of unbelief, spiritual death and rebellion (2 Cor. 4:4). The secular liberal mindset is the most open to Satan's suggestions for a Godless trend-setting agenda. They do his will quite readily because they are the most susceptible to it. Conservative or liberal, all fall into this earthly carnal class apart from a saving relationship to Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17; Rom. 3:23).

"The grand design and purpose of this Master Politician is the creation of the Global State – the “God Utopia” – and to receive the worship as god."

The grand design and purpose of this Master Politician is the creation of the Global State – the “God Utopia” – and to receive the worship as god (Matt 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 13). This delusional dream has been thousands of years in the making. This began first in the Eden of Heaven (Isaiah 14: 12-17, Ezekiel 28:12-19, John 8:44); then it proceeded to the Earthly Garden of Eden (Gen 2:16-17, 3:1-19), The Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9, Rev. 17:2, 5), and the historical outworking of the Statue and Beast visions of Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel (Daniel 2:28, 31-43, 7:1-8,17,19-27). After ~ 6000 years of human history, the final stage for this godless utopian world society is being set right before our eyes. The strings are being pulled, and as the political “tectonic plates” are shifting, flexing and forming a new societal landscape, Satan is positioning the world for the reign of Lucifer’s master minion, the Anti Christ, The Man of Lawlessness (Dan. 7:9, 20, 24-26, 11:36-45, 2 Thess. 2:3-4, 8-9; Rev. 13). This man will be the 180° opposite of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 1:5, 6:2 vs. Rev. 19:11). Satan will use this lawless fascist to establish his global fascist state in which he will finally have global worship and global power (Rev. 13:4-7, 12). Lucifer will dominate the spiritual world and natural habitat of unregenerate man with a tyrannical grip (Rev. 9:1-19, 12:7-12, 18:2). As the enormous pressures of this future period called the Great Tribulation intensify exponentially, the terrible trials of his reign and catastrophic consequences of the sins of man will waste billions (Isaiah 24:1-23, Matt 24:7,22, Rev. 6:4-8). In their hatred and rebellion, these satanically oppressed and sin-enslaved humans beings will not repent unto deliverance from this master oppressor, i.e., Lucifer and their sinful pride (Isaiah 14:12-14, Rev. 9:20-21, 16:9). In the end these will rise up with their despotic oppressor to gather themselves to the global day of Slaughter called the battle of Armageddon (2 Thess. 2:2-10; Rev. 16:1-16, 19:11-21). They will meet their eternal doom when Christ Comes in glory to set up His earthly 1000-year reign in righteousness (Isaiah 11:1-10, Micah 4:1-4, 5:10-15, Zech 2:11,Rev. 19:15-19). After the 1000 year reign of Christ Satan is loosed from his prison and allowed to deceive the nations again for a brief period (Rev. 20:3, 7-10), then all delusion will finally be over. Truth (reality) and Righteousness will Reign for all Eternity (1 Cor. 15:25-28, Rev. 21:1-7)!

The bottom line is that whatever you offer fallen humanity there can never be a utopian, peaceful world where fallen human beings (i.e., unregenerate man apart from a saving relationship to their Creator and Redeemer, Almighty God) are present!

The Great Unshackler

Almost 2000 years ago Almighty God sent His Son in the fulfillment of His Word and promise to deliver Adam’s fallen race (Rom. 5:12-19) from the tyranny and bondage of Sin and the Devil, Lucifer (John 3:16, 1:12; 1 John 5:11-12).

The Bible states:

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. (Acts 10:38

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil: And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage( Heb. 2:14,15).

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world (Matt. 25:34).

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever (Rev. 22:5).

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? He alone can deliver you from the tyranny of sin and this fallen world of unregenerate men and the Devil, Lucifer. In these last days leading up to the climatic time called the Great Tribulation (Isaiah 24, Matt. 24:12, 21-22), may you place your sole trust not in man or the government, but in the Lord Jesus Christ and His eternal provision for your soul. He alone provides the righteousness that you need to navigate through time and enter heaven. He alone can deliver your soul.

Place your trust in Him today. You will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

Victicrat America - The New American Poor

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:58:00 +0000

There is much talk and discussion today about helping the poor and downtrodden here in the USA. The only true way to help individuals break free from the tyrannical cycle of poverty, however, is a Conservatism that is rooted in Biblical, Judean/ Christian truths and absolutes. Such values bestow upon these individuals a sense of reality and purpose in what otherwise would be a meaningless, “burned out” existence. Historically, Judean/ Christian values have been the only true advocate and hope for the poor since the fall of man (see Genesis 3:17-19).

The word charity - as taught in the Bible - is the outworking of Almighty God’s perfect love, God's highest and best for an individual by another individual for their eternal betterment and ultimate good. God’s love or highest and best is none other than the Person of Almighty God Himself. This highest and best includes God’s perfect plan and purpose; His solution and deliverance; and His eternal calling and will for His lost creation (2 Cor. 5:17-21 ). He only has the eternal betterment of all in mind. Any "love" that contradicts Almighty God's eternal standard is evil and doomed. This high holy standard is quite sobering, is it not? (Mark 12: 30-33; Luke 10:27; Gal. 5:14). link

Following the dispersion at Babel some 4300 years ago (Gen. 11:1-9, Rom 1:18-32), the godless outworkings of the reprobate pagan nations created masses of poor and oppressed throughout the ancient world (Rom. 1:18-32). It was not until about seven hundred years or so after Babel’s scattering - when the nations were outworking their godless rebellion and reaping its destructive consequences - that Almighty God gave to Israel the Law through Moses (Exodus 20:1-17). In giving the Law, God made wonderful provision for the poor, understanding their affliction and destitution (Deut. 15:10; Jer. 22:16). The greatest of these was the institution of the Year of Jubilee (Lev. 25:8, 10, 13, 30, 40-41, 47-48, 54; 27:14-24; Isa. 61:1-2). When the heart of the people of God was right (i.e., when they were obedient to the Lord), these charitable practices continued and the poor of the land were taken care of (Lev. 19:19; Deut. 15:7; Isa. 59:10; Jer. 7:5-7). When the people’s hearts weren’t right with God (i.e., when they were disobedient), the poor suffered greatly (Isa 10:1-3; Jer. 5: 28; Ezek. 22:29, 31).

The Christian charities of America have always been the hallmark of our culture and society. Our nation was founded on the bedrock of Judean/ Christian values, and the poor of our nation - and of the entire world - have benefited greatly by its fruits. These charities first fed and then taught the poor that they were accountable to Almighty God, and that sloth and idleness was sin (Prov. 10:4; 13:4; 19:15; 20:4; 24:30-31; 2 Thess. 3:10; 1 Tim. 5:13). The non-helpless poor were taught to be accountable and responsible for their actions, and to rejoin society and aid it in its moral out workings here in time. If these were rejected, then the capable poor were to reap their own doings and resulting situations without being pitied (Prov. 20:4; 21:25, 2 Thess. 3:10). The chief emphasis of these charitable institutions was to teach the poor accountability and responsibility to man, society and most of all to Almighty God - to whom they will give an account in the Last Day (Rom. 14:12; 1 Pet. 4:4-5). The Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-4)was always at the heart of the activities and functions of charity missions. My friends, what good does it accomplish to feed a poor man and fill his tummy when without Christ he will ultimately die in his sins (Mark 8:36; John 6:27)? Oh, how the Devil and the Liberal today has twisted the Holy Scriptures and has turned around the message of the Lord Jesus Christ a full 180 degrees!
.
Listen to what Jesus said:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor (Luke 4:18a).

The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them (Matt 11:5).

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed (John 6:26-27).

Jesus knew that the Gospel Message was the most important need for the indigent poor and the capable poor, not food. Countless examples are given throughout Holy Scripture.

To the capable poor was the Gospel of salvation first to be preached, and then they were to eat!

The capable poor were to be taught personal accountability and responsibility to Almighty God and man so they could feed themselves and benefit society!

The capable poor were to be taught giving is better than receiving!

The capable poor were to be taught to love Almighty God with all their heart, soul, and mind, and their neighbors as themselves!

America's Two Poor Classes
Today in America we have two different classes of poor: 1) the American Indigent Poor; and 2) the Capable Poor or the “New American Poor” (i.e., “The Subjective Socially Dependent”).

The American Indigent Poor are those individuals who are truly helpless and indigent. These were born with physical infirmities and birth defects who suffer physical traumas or mental issues and are unable to survive through this life without help from society. Some are our valiant veterans of foreign wars and others are rejected outcasts of society. These individuals need and deserve our charity and help, and most of all we are to let them know that Almighty God loves them and sent His Son for them (John 3:16-17). In the midst of this fallen world (Rom 5:12-19), Almighty God has a wondrous plan for their eternal future. All those who place their trust in Him will be restored and healed in that Day when He restores all things unto Himself (Isa. 35:6; 49:10; John 6:35; 7:38; 1 Cor. 15:42-44).

"These hide behind the name of “the poor” and see themselves as the indigent poor class. These have become nothing more than a parasite to the achievements of others and a burden of weight to society and all working-class Americans."

The New American Poor (i.e., the Capable Poor or the Subjective Socially Dependent) are those who through decades of generational dependence on government and social charities have become slothful, immoral, idle and desensitized to life’s demands and responsibilities. These - as we shall see - have absorbed the subjective Liberal Ideology and are fully addicted to and dependent on socialistic government programs. They are quite capable of working. They suffer no infirmities or handicaps but choose the path of dependency and sloth over self-motivation and personal responsibility and achievement. These hide behind the name of “the poor” and see themselves as the indigent poor class. These have become nothing more than a parasite to the achievements of others and a burden of weight to society and all working-class Americans. These are the products of FDR’s New Deal, LBJ’s Great Society and the War on Poverty and Obama's new New Deal. The Left’s good intentions have enslaved countless millions to a life of poverty and narcissistic victimhood.

Today we hear from America’s Left that we need to do more to take care of “the poor” here in America. These “poor” they are alluding to is this class of the socially dependent. They continually offer socialist programs to these without any moral accountability or personal responsibility.

The fact of the matter is, the phrase “The New American Poor” is an oxymoron. In light of those throughout the world who are truly oppressed and made destitute by fascist oppressors in third world countries, the New American Poor live as kings and are treated as spoiled children.

The New American Poor class have access to food shelters and state housing, possesses free revenue (welfare), free health care, free food stamps, cell phones, iPods, TV’s, Nike shoes, designer clothes, cars, toilets, clean water, free school lunches, free education, free day care, pay no taxes, come and go as they please, have full voting privileges and freedoms as citizens, etc. They have countless benefits and rights that the truly oppressed and indigent of the world know absolutely nothing about - let alone hardworking middle class America. The truly afflicted, indigent poor of the world possesses none of these luxuries, yet the New American Poor with their subjective mindset loves to compare themselves to these as though they are on the same par. If one takes an objective view of the case, it is clearly seen that there is absolutely no comparison between the two groups.

"We have redefined poor in this country as not having enough to satisfy our wants and desires."

The majority of the New American Poor possesses a subjective mindset which has been placed on them as mighty battleship chains by the Left in this country. The sad fact is they are absolutely oblivious to all the care that has been given to them, for which they are truly unthankful. We have redefined poor in this country as not having enough to satisfy our wants and desires. Only in The Land of the Free could these claims ever be made and these labeled as poor and victims of society. The true Indigent Poor of America suffer as the New American Poor “milk and bilk” the system. Which of these two classes is truly the victim?

The True Heart of the Matter

It would not be difficult to see the true heart of the matter if one was to simple take an objective and realistic view. The issue, however, is too raw and politically charged to be engaged by a great many individuals. The New American Poor today have reaped a whirlwind of dire consequences due to their rejection of divine accountability and their abandonment of fundamental truths and moral absolutes. They have sold their souls to the secular socialist god of Big Government, which demands no accountability or responsibility from them, only their total support and absolute allegiance. The end result of this rejection of divine accountability is the abandonment of absolutes (moral/ spiritual) to an addiction and utter dependency on the Left and its socialistic “Big Government” utopia visions. This has produced the catastrophic consequences reaped by the New American Poor of today.

The consequences of the New American Poor abound (Gal. 6:8): drug addiction, alcoholism, pornography addiction, a licentious mindset, a ravished family unit, multitudes of fatherless children and single-parent homes, violence, murder, numberless incarcerations, rampant sexual immorality and STD’s, generational psychological and mental trauma from the outworkings of immorality and loss of self respect, narcissistic behavior, callousness and hard-heartedness, laziness and obesity, inner-city dwellings which have become a wasteland flooded with pollution, poverty and drugs, etc., etc. These just begin to describe the miserable conditions resulting from the tyranny and oppression, bondage and slavery in the lives of the New America Poor (NAP). Many scapegoats have been created for the plight of the New American Poor - and some are truly to blame - but the NAP themselves are going to be held personally responsible to Almighty God in that Day. All their scapegoats will be irrelevant in the Day of Judgment. The reality is that only Almighty God can deliver these individuals (NAP) from their current state of poverty, dependency and sloth. Only Almighty God can rescue them from the bondage and outworkings of their circumstances and situation. Only Almighty God has the remedy to deliver their souls from the wrath to come (John 3:16-17; Rev. 6:17).

My friend, hear this very sobering truth backed by the Word of Almighty God. Belonging to the NAP class or the Indigent Poor class is not a virtue to qualify one for Almighty God’s righteous and holy Heaven. The only qualifying virtue for anyone - rich or poor - to enter God’s Heaven is by placing one’s faith in the saving Person and work of Jesus Christ alone (Rom 3:28, 10:4, Eph. 2:8-9). Faith is something we all possess. Red, yellow, black and white, rich, poor, bond or free - all who are outside of Christ must give a personal account to Almighty God at the Great White Throne judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). No one will have any excuse to use (Rom. 1:20). Almighty God is not a respecter of any person, no matter their class or color (Deut. 10:17; Matt. 16:27; Acts 10:34; Col. 3:25; 1 Peter 1:17).

The Oppressor of the Poor

At the beginning of the 1900’s, the NAP began to turn away from Judean/ Christian values (Rom 1:18-32) and charities and chose to be indoctrinated in the ways of liberalism (politically and religiously). Over the past 100 years the secular leftist Democratic Party has kept these masses under their thumb while claiming to be their champions and deliverers. The NAP have taken on the mantle and practices of secularism, liberalism, sloth, idleness, the godless form of liberal/ apostate Christianity and relativism as their ideology and way of life. These have embraced the subjective liberal mindset of the Left and have assumed the subjective victim status as the downtrodden, unprivileged class in America. This “victim status” position has been assigned to them by their Leftist oppressors in Washington D.C.

This attitude and mindset does not come without a devastating price tag. The cost to our culture and society has been horrific. A significant percentage of our NAP population has become dehumanized to the extent of full-blown narcissism, depression, bitterness, callousness (hard-heartedness), jealousy, envy, strife, hatred and violence that has poisoned their hearts and minds. This has progressed to such a degree that they cannot or will not respond to those who truly care about them and seek their betterment. The very ones who sincerely seek to help lift the NAP out of its bondage today are demonized, slandered and labeled as cold-hearted, callous and racist by the NAP, their self-appointed spokesmen and very oppressors of the Left.

The New American Poor have had all personal responsibility removed from them, opening wide the flood-gates of idleness and sloth. It is said that Idleness is the Devil’s playground. How true that is! For man’s sake Almighty God cursed the ground after man’s fall (see Gen. 3:17-18), knowing that with an abundance of idleness man would destroy himself in a never-ending quest to fill his famished soul, thus reaping the destructive evils and vices of personal (self) gratification. The NAP have had all motivation for the hope to succeed beaten out of them. They have had all incentives for living a healthy and happy life totally driven from them. They do not know how to support themselves for their daily needs without looking to Big Government. They have become as a drug addict looking for his next Big Government fix. They are totally addicted to government dependency. They are encouraged in their plight and held there by their oppressors in the Leftist Democratic Party without any escape in sight. The Left uses these subjective, oppressed people as pawns in their ever-growing quest for absolute power and control.

These oppressed are the Subjective Socially Dependent (aka “the New American Poor”). They are told by their Leftist Oppressors that they are victims of life’s lottery and truly hopeless without their aid. They are told by their Leftist Masters that they will never amount to anything of worth without Big Government interceding for them. Their ranks increase daily and they are ever chained to this never-ending circle of poverty and dependency. Once the motivation for achievement and success is driven from a human spirit, all that is left is a shell of a human being: an unmotivated, beaten down, depressed, slothful and eventually doomed individual.

The Socialistic Left has done more to destroy the family unit of the NAP today than any slave trader or violent oppressor could ever do.

The Godless Rich (those who reject Almighty God’s virtues, absolutes and Word) and the Left of this world - with their secular socialism - still have yet to give the Poor a fair shake.

Almighty God has not forgotten the deeds of these individuals and will hold them absolutely accountable for their actions (James 2:1-10). God has provided for the Poor (both indigent and capable) all that they will EVER need in the Person of Jesus Christ. So many that have been delivered from the wasteland of Government addiction can testify to that!

Today the godless outworkings of secularism, liberalism, socialistic oppression and personal dependency now rule. Our nation’s Christian charities once dominated and did much good until they were abandoned by the NAP and infiltrated by a liberal/ apostate form of “Christianity.” For many years the poor and oppressed from all around the world sought refuge here in the United States, and as they entered New York harbor they saw the door of opportunity with a future of great potential open before them. They were welcomed by the Statue of Liberty and by that great inscription at Ellis Island as they entered the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

“Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

America has always been a bright beacon to the world’s oppressed, and it was our Judean/ Christian heritage and culture that fueled that burning light. That light today has been nearly snuffed out by the oppressive takeover of godless secular liberalism here in America.

Almighty God’s Love for the Poor!

My friend, Almighty God loves the poor! He loves them and does not abandon them. They have abandoned Him. He sent his Son who became a slave to lead man back to God the Father and to deliver humanity from the enslaving, oppressing power of sin (John 3:16-17; Rom 7:24, Phil 2:4-10, Heb 2:14-15). The Lord Jesus Christ, Almighty God’s Son, was inconceivably rich, yet for our sakes He became poor so that we through His poverty might be rich (2 Cor. 8:9)!

My Friend, do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? He has come to set the captives free (John 8:32, 36; Heb. 2:14-15). Whatever captivity that you may find yourself under today, whatever oppression or addictions bind you, He wants to set you free! He has come to seek and save (deliver) that which was lost (Matt. 18:11; Luke 19:10)! He loves you and wants to deliver you from your transgressions and sins against HIS PERFECTLY RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER. Will you trust Him today? Your destiny is to be with Him forever in eternal bliss, don’t let your pride destroy you as it has done countless others (James 2:5; Matt. 5:3). My friend, place your sole trust in Jesus Christ today. My friend, it’s totally up to you. The ball is in your court. You alone will have to make your decision. Will you have Almighty God care for you (Matt. 6:24-33) or Big Government? May you rightly choose Almighty God and His highest and best for you. He will change your life and you will NEVER be the same!

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matt 6:33).

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Matt. 6:26)

The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand!

False Prophets of Optimism – The 2009 Election Results

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:15:00 +0000

Conservative leaders today are rejoicing over the out come of last nights 2009 election victories that have taken place. Many of the conservative leaders and their base are touting that they can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are optimistic. Last night’s victories are quite encouraging in light of the past shellacking that conservatism and the Republican Party have taken but they are the last struggling convulsions of a nation on the precipice of total collapse.

The absolute reality is that the conservative, optimistic ideal cannot support the excessive weight of the current crises and realities at hand. This fact must be recognized and accepted by the conservative right in this country. The current crises are reaching gigantic proportions - both nationally and globally. The good intentions and well wishes of this flawed ideology (Conservative optimism) has had its place in the past, but now in light of the global climate affected by ever-increasing human depravity, it is but a “spider’s web” of hope (Job 8:14). For harnessing the unbridled passions of fallen humanity (i.e., the opening of “Pandora’s Box"), there is nothing to do to bring them back again. Pandora’s Box was cracked open at the Fall of Man in Eden’s Garden (Genesis 3), but since the 60’s the lid has been completely removed. In this outworking of lawlessness, this movement has corrupted and contaminated the United States and the whole earth (Matt 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

Men like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanity, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck etc; today have become the False Prophets of Optimism and hope. Multitudes look to their leadership, direction and optimistic appraisal in light of today’s culture, society and D.C.’s ever tightening grip on our nation (Romans 8:4-5,1 Cor. 2:14,James 3:15).

These men are great men, but they are just men (Jer. 17:5-9). These comprehend the things of temporal time and have absolutely no vision into the future to come (Romans 8:4-5,1 Cor. 2:14, James 3:15). If they did they would never hold back the sobering realities (Romans 1:16, Gal 6:14). These men give a message contrary to the Biblical reality of Almighty God’s Word and Christ’s coming Kingdom. They mean well and are sincere but deceive themselves and preach a humanistic optimism instead of the Glorious Gospel (Rom 1:16, 1 Cor 15:2-4). They are oblivious to the absolute reality of the establishment of Christ’s literal thousand year Kingdom in truth (reality) and righteousness (perfection) which is at hand (Matt 7:21-23, Rom 10 :2-4)!

These False Prophets of Optimism say: peace, peace when there is no peace to come (Jer. 6:14, 8:11). They say surely America must endure forever and have no comprehension of humanity's tragic demise (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev 19:11-21). They don’t want to know because the reality is too raw to conceive (John 3:19-21). Optimism is the only outlet and window in which they choose to look out of. It presents a more comforting picture for them then what the truth of Almighty God states and reveals (Is 28:15).

"The reality is, that we are at the Alamo at present and a global tribulation is at hand; with the climatic global blood bath called Armageddon! Christ is coming very soon!"

The current state of our society and modern-day culture here in America is sickening, to say the least. It’s no secret that with the spearhead of the 60’s secular leftist/ socialist movement, America has reaped “a whirlwind” of societal consequences that are indeed devastating.

The Fallout of Secular Liberalism

The non-absolute morality and godless religious ideology of the secular left has permeated into all aspects of our once dominant Judean/ Christian heritage and culture. The Social climate of today’s America is so decadent, so immoral, so base and so lewd that it has passed the point of remediation to the point of no return.The majority of people look at the surface of our societal ills and gullibly think that things aren’t as bad as they seem. The fact is, though, that our society is contaminated to the very core. The steak - as it were - has been left out of the refrigerator too long, and no “conservative ideology” revival or leadership can restore this rotting corpse (see Isaiah 1:5-6). Once a nation is given over to the basest of ideals (i.e., secular socialism) and moral practices, it is just a matter of time before it implodes on itself in rottenness (see Romans 1:18-32). As one who loves my country I take no delight in declaring this, but the present status of our society and culture compels making an objective assessment. May we as a people learn the lessons of history, and may she be our wise teacher. Every nation that has gone down this path has not survived.

A Steak and Its Environment

When a steak (i.e., humanity) is placed in a refrigerator, the cold environment slows down the corruption and spoiling process (see Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:23). Even under refrigeration the meat will eventually spoil, but the corruption process is slowed down. Such is the Conservative (Right, moral) ideology.

When a steak is left out at room temperature, the corruption process accelerates due to a higher rate of bacterial growth that takes place in a warm environment. Such is the Moderate (Centrist, compromising) ideology.
.
When a steak is left out in the direct sunlight and high heat, the corruption process accelerates exponentially. Such is the Liberal (Leftist, secular) ideology.

The tremendous impact from the 60’s counterculture revolution is akin to a steak left out at room temperature. In the last 40 years or so since, the corruption process in our society has increased to an extent such that we can see the radical and fundamental changes that have produced countless social ills and catastrophes (refer to the Red Light District America blog from July 2009).
.
2006 - The Consumation of a Secular and Socialistic America

When the far left of the Democratic Party took power in the House and Senate in the elections of 2006, the Left began rapidly instituting their radical leftist agenda and nothing has been able to stop it since. Our previous president George Bush, a Moderately Conservative “lame duck” president, would not fight this aggressive agenda “tooth and nail” and supported too much of it. The stage was thus set for our first ever radical leftist, socialist President of these United States, Barak Hussein Obama.In just the first six months of the Obama administration, we have seen a deluge of his leftist agenda.
.

"2009 has been the year of the point of no return for American culture, society and policies in Washington D.C."

2009 has seen an exponential change in all facets of government, culture and society. Super-socialism, super-spending, fascist polices, nameless accountability, destructive agendas, countless corruption, mass deception, godless arrogance, and so on and so on.2009 has been the year in which the steak has been moved from a room temperature climate into the direct heat of the sun. The corruption process of our “steak” culture and society has now been made irreversible. The demonic flies - as it were - have infested this rotten piece of flesh and are leading and participating in America's rapid deterioration (1 Tim 4:1-3). 2009 has been the year of the point of no return for American culture, society and policies in Washington D.C.
.
Such rapid deteriorating conditions and a global, “reprobate mind” society are setting the stage for the perfect storm, which is the arrival of the ultimate politician and supreme secular fascist - The Man of Lawlessness. He will seek to change the times and the laws (Dan. 7:24, 25) and establish a global fascist state (Dan. 11:36-39; Rev. 13:14-18). He will make war against God’s people, the realities of Almighty God and His eternal sovereignty (2 Thess. 2:8-9; Rev. 13:1-7, 17:12-14). This man will also go as far as to set himself up as god and to be worshiped by all (Matt. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12). He and his global fascist state will shortly after meet their doom at the glorious Second Coming of Almighty God the Son, Jesus the Messiah/ Christ (Dan. 7:26, 11:45; Rev. 19:20, 19:11-21).
.
Our godless nation - and world - is presently on a collision course smack dab into a terrible time of judgment called the Day of the Lord, or The Great Tribulation (Isa. 24; Joel 2:30-32; 1 Thess. 5:31; Matt. 24; Rev. 6:6-17).
.
The Bible describes the global conditions of the last days as follows:

Jesus stated: And because iniquity (lawlessness) shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold (Matt. 24:12).

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Tim. 3:1-7).

Let not your heart be troubled. All these things must be. The end result of the corrupted and totally spoiled steak (humanity) will be the Battle of Armageddon, in which all nations will go to war against the Eternal Sovereignty and Lordship of Almighty God. Christ at His second coming will decimate all these global armies with His Word (Zech. 14:3-4; 2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 19:11-21). He will then judge and cast out all unrepentant and unbelieving humanity that survives from the entrance into the 1000-year earthly kingdom of Jesus Christ (Dan.9:27; Joel 3:2; Zech 14:16; Matt. 13:29-30, 40-43, 47-49, 25: 41-46). Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be established forever in Righteousness! (Isa. 2:4, 11:1-11; Dan. 7:14, 18; Zech. 14: 20-21; Mal 4, Romans 14:17)

Even now Almighty God is calling all humanity (the rotting steak) to repentance and to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, who is the Savior of all mankind. Only Christ can deliver one from the pollutions of the heart (Jer. 17:9) and of this doomed world (Gal. 1:4).

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Call on Him today, won’t you? He will deliver you from the bondage of sin and the wrath that is appointed for this sinful world.

In these Last Days may you look to Almighty God and His Word for the encouragement, hope and help you need. Place your trust in Him today! You will never be the same!

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matt. 6:33).

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

The exercising and application of God’s Word in a believer’s life produces a heavenly wisdom and comprehension that transcends this earthly realm. Apart from Almighty God these riches can never be obtained by earthly means.

By faith we enter into an arena and realm that few comprehend let alone understand. The eternal heavens are the limit! My Beloved, bring along your note book and pad and pay attention to what Almighty God is seeking to teach you. Have faith in God with thanksgiving!

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor 15:30).

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power (Eph 1:18-19)

Soldiers of the Cross, Press Onward and Be Not Offended

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:21:00 +0000

For the servant (slave) of Christ (His soldier); all that he/she possesses is at the total disposal of Almighty God, to be used for His honor and glory here in time (Romans 12:1-5). Be not offended in what God wills, allows or uses in your life to further the Gospel message to a lost and dying world (Matt 11:6, Rom 8:28). Endure hardness as a good soldier (2 Tim 2:3-4). Some times the very thing in which we are seeking to preserve or save is to be on the chopping block and removed. Fret not my beloved, Almighty God is in absolute control!
.
Beware though, this is a cross road in many saints life’s where they look back and do not make it (Heb 10:38). They become a casualty and are ship wrecked in the faith. History is full of such. Guard your heart and be not deceived. There are many false saviors outside of the will of God for your temporal life that are nothing more than thieves and robbers. Remember Almighty God is absolutely faithful (1 Cor. 10:13).
.
Lucifer our adversary would seek to sift us as wheat to see if our desire for God’s will is real in our lives (Luke 22:31, 1 Peter 5:8). Adversity opens the door for apostasy. Be careful not to be deceived - with or by - earthy mammon, privileges or prestige; Seeing this passing world only through the eternal eyes that Almighty God has equipped His dear children with when He saved us (1 Tim 6:6, 1 John 2:17).

Remember your current position in Christ at the right hand of Almighty God, blessed with all spiritual blessings; That we are but pilgrims and strangers here in time and that eternity is our home, not this little vapor called life (Eph 1:3, Col 3:1, Heb 11:13); Understanding time in its proper perspective, in light of our Heavenly calling is key (2 Cor. 5:19-20, Phil 3:14).
.
Remembering that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).” Be Strong and of good courage, remembering that we already have the victory my beloved (1 Cor. 15:57, 1 John 5:4). Have faith in Almighty God and expect the unexpectable from Him for His glory and honor (Mark 10:27, 11:22, Eph 3:20-21). Give thanks to Almighty God in everything and rejoice in the Lord! (1 Thess. 5:18, Phil 4:4)
.
Remembering His precious promises and the great reward for His faithful saints at His soon coming.
.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us (2 Cor. 1:20).
.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (1 Cor. 2:9).
.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (2 Tim 4:8)
.
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever (Rev 22:4-5).

Beloved of God, Endure! To God be the glory! The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at Hand! Even so come Lord Jesus!

Trick or Treat and the Truth? Halloween in Washington D.C.

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:16:00 +0000

It’s Halloween Everyday in Washington D.C. - This Halloween - and all year long - in Washington D.C., many politicians will be dressing up as concerned, moral, honest and Constitution-honoring representatives of the American people.

Among these will be the rising American Left of the Socialist-Democratic Party. These are wolves dressed up in sheep’s clothing. The Left has had an anti-American agenda which is being unfolded before our very eyes (government controlled healthcare, for example). They have a vision for America which is rapidly and rigorously becoming a tangible reality. This vision is a secular socialist state for America and its citizens.

Their consistent game plan of “How can we fool them today” agenda is working quite well - with the help of the “State Run” Media at their beck and call. These have been providing cover and spin while promoting their vision to the masses. They are moving the ball forward yard by yard deep into the heart of our Judean/ Christian heritage and republic.

Trick or Treat

The Trick is quite evident. It is to deceive, fool, pull the wool over and make as many Americans as possible drink their socialist Kool-aid. By the use of these tactics, they are manufacturing crisis after crisis, creating events to cause panic and attempting to win over individuals to full reliance and dependence on the State. This is the sole desire and fascist game plan of the Democratic Party of today. It seeks to maintain these efforts until all citizen's rights and liberties here in America have dissipated into thin air. The Constitution stands in the way and the rule of Law only hinders the furtherance of their Fascist designs for America.

The Trick is working quite well, but little do these Leftists in the Democratic Party comprehend that they themselves are being played by the Master Politician, and that the trick is being played on them for their own souls (2 Cor 4:3-4, Jude 1:10,18-19). These Leftists today are just pawns on a chessboard being played by the god of this world, Lucifer (Matt 25:41, Luke 4:5,6,Eph 2:1-2, Rev 20:11-15). When he is done with them, he will just simply discard them as he has others in the past (Nimrod, Alexander, Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, etc. These were just his slaves setting the stage for the Man of Lawlessness, Lucifer’s Global Fascist due to come onto the world scene very shortly (Matt 16:26, 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev 13, 17:14). Lucifer's sole desire and main goal is to establish the global worship of himself and and his anti - Christ (Is 14:12-17, Ez 28:12-19 Rev 13:4,8,12,15, 14:11, 2 Thess. 2:4) The Left in this country are warring against the Very One that so Loved the World, and whose Son died for their sins. For a moment of prestige and power, these have sold their souls only to meet their ultimate and final doom (Ez 18:23, Eccl 1:1-3, Jude 1:10, 18-19). The Trick is on the Tricker, it would seem (2 Tim 3:13).

The Treat is all the promises and concessions that are made by conservatives to the citizens of the United States. By implementing conservative values we should sustain a world of relative harmony, prosperity, freedom and liberty. Even so, such a peaceful, desirable state might endure for a while, but even the Conservative treat in the end is loaded with razor blades and vile poison. It is a delusion - a false hope - in light of the realities of this world of fallen humanity and the consequences of its transgressions against the laws of Almighty God. In and by themselves, Conservative values have no redeeming value and can never bring about the righteous perfection demanded by Almighty God for each individual, i.e., sinners (Rom. 3:23, 5:12-21). Conservatives are also pawns on the chessboard of time and must be eliminated to bring about Lucifer’s Man of Lawlessness (Eph 2:1-2, 2 Cor 4:3-4, 2 Thess. 2:2-10; Rev. 13), who is surely at hand.

There is no human savior in the “Trick or Treat” realm of humanity. They are all full of lies (Rom 3: 10-20), and thus all are doomed who remain in their natural state apart from God (Is 45:21-23, Jer 17:5-9, John 8:44).

The Truth is Biblical Reality, as found in the Book wherein is quoted, “Thus saith the Lord!”. In the end, Conservative ideology will be totally eliminated (Matt 24, 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev 13) so that lawless, socialistic fascism will reign in the earth (Dan 7: 25, Rev 13). The Man of Lawlessness (the anti-Christ) must and will reign during the seven-year Tribulation period, and despotically for the last 3 1/2 years. He and his legions will then be destroyed at the return of the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev 13:5). It is at this time that Almighty God’s Son will establish His 1000-Year Kingdom in true righteousness and justice (Is 11:1-9, Zech 14, Rev 19: 20:2-4). That is the reality of what is to be.

In this fallen world there can never be peace and harmony (Is 57:20, 64:6). It is a broken-egg world and there are absolutely none to repair it. Six thousand years of human history has shown us that. Sadly, even America with its godly heritage will show that it also cannot survive in this fallen world. The unbridled passions of men have won the day, as our Founders knew that it eventually would.

Only the Creator and Sustainer of all - Almighty God - has the remedies and power to restore the lost and broken condition of all things caused by man (Is 45:21-23, Mark 10:26-27). Only He can put the egg back together again through Christ, the Savior of the world!

God alone is the only Savior. He alone can fix the unfixable, and He alone will accomplish it completely at the end of Christ’s 1000-year Reign (Mark 10:26, 1Cor 15:20-28, Rev 21, 22:1-7).
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all (1 Cor. 15:24-28).

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind (Isaiah 65:17).

In this day of mass deception and cunning craftiness, may your source for light come only from Almighty God’s Word of Truth. He alone has the answers to life’s mysteries. May your eyes be fixed on Him alone -The Faithful and True One (Heb 11:2, Rev 1:5) - and not to the cesspool of politics in Washington D.C.

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

Is Reagan Conservatism Dead? A Biblical Point of View

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:18:00 +0000

Is Reagan Conservatism dead? The answer is a resounding - No! The ideal is as solid as it has ever been, but the objective view of this writer is that it is not enough to deliver this nation from the 70 year socialistic grip of liberalism and its horrific consequences (moral and institutional) on our society and people. Anyone who has an objective view and appraisal of our current situation would have to agree.

In light of the present conditions plaguing our country and what seems to be the disintegration of the Republican Party, Conservatives have been on suicide alert - all the way from the top to the bottom. As we reflect on the days of Ronald Reagan; we wonder what the future of our country will become in light of the present socialistic grip that has Washington and the American people by the throat.

As well as being ostracized from their own party, Conservatives have been labeled and slandered by the Democratic Left and its powerful Mainstream Media allies. For their ideals of moral accountability and responsibility, Conservatives are also despised by the socially dependent masses.

"The conservative, optimistic ideal cannot support the excessive weight of the current crises and realities at hand."

In the midst of the current crisis – or rather, crises - and lack of conservative leadership, Rush Limbaugh has been appointed by the masses of exiled conservatives as their new and fearless leader.

Conservatives owe a lot to Limbaugh (and others in the Alternative Media) for their steadfastness to conservative ideals and promotion of moral ideologies. Until the present, these ideals have made America what it historically has been: a great nation and example to the world. The reality at hand though is that conservative principles and ideals are a “dead corpse” in Washington D.C. and our state bureaucracies.

The social climate has moved so far to the left such that the social ramifications and consequences have passed the point of no return. All that remains for the Conservative today is a delusional optimism (i.e., an empty dream) which believes that one day in America all will be again as it was in the days of Reagan and prosperous, halcyon times of the past.

Conservatism is the best ideology for a healthy society and for restraining the unbridled passions of the human heart, for exercising human freedoms with responsibility and accountability to all. Actually, conservative principles come from the Biblical teachings and absolutes (both spiritual and natural) of Almighty God, the God of Israel. This is the reason that, in the almost 400 years of our country’s history, we have prospered and become the greatest nation on the face of the earth. God has truly “shed His grace on thee” (us, the USA).

Even now, Rush, The New Media and Conservative Americans are ready to fight tooth-and-nail for the preservation of this county and to defend our constitutional freedoms. These are sounding the warning cry as never before. That cry is: “We are near finished as the Republic upon which we were founded!” With such realities at hand, what can the Conservative do? Even Rush - the eternal optimist - has come to grips with the current realities at hand and is very alarmed and concerned as he has stated quite frequently from his Golden EIB microphone. Link

The fact is: Conservative Optimism is dead.

The conservative, optimistic ideal cannot support the excessive weight of the current crises and realities at hand. This fact must be recognized and accepted by the conservative right in this country. The current crises are reaching gigantic proportions - both nationally and globally. The good intentions and well wishes of this flawed ideology (Conservative optimism) has had its place in the past, but now in light of the global climate affected by ever-increasing human depravity, it is but a “spider’s web” of hope (Job 8:14). For harnessing the unbridled passions of fallen humanity (i.e., the opening of “Pandora’s Box"), there is nothing to do to bring them back again. Pandora’s Box was cracked open at the Fall of Man in Eden’s Garden (Genesis 3), but since the 60’s the lid has been completely removed. In this outworking of lawlessness, this movement has corrupted and contaminated the United States and the whole earth (Matt 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

As Conservatives and patriotic Americans, we must “face the music” and look to a more sound and sure foundation than an optimistic philosophy filled with good intentions and false hopes. We must ABANDON these false hopes and expectations and, as our Founding Fathers once did, place our firm reliance upon Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24).

Conservative optimism - or any other false appraisal of a crisis situation - can never replace the sound, sure foundation of reality. Almighty God and His Word are indeed reality (Matt. 7:24-27).
Almighty God states: Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:21-22).

If Conservatives were only as objective and fact-finding about Almighty God and His Word as they are about all other subjects, they would see the big picture and would comprehend what has been transpiring, the current trends, and where these will lead us.

The Bible states: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12).

The current events and political and social trends at hand are far greater than we could ever imagine. Prophetically speaking, we are now positioned in the time leading up to the great climactic outworking of history: the War of all the Ages with Lucifer and his demonic horde pitted against the Eternal Sovereignty and Reign of Almighty God (Isaiah 14:12-17, Ezekiel 28:12-19).

We are globally positioned at the very door of the Global Catastrophes of the last days (Isaiah 24:1-20; Joel 2:10; Matt. 24; Rev. 8 & 16); Anti-Christ’s 3½-year reign of global tyranny (Dan. 7:8, 24-26; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13); the Battle of Armageddon (Zech. 14:1-3; Rev. 16:13-16); and Jesus Christ’s Glorious Second Coming to reign and rule on earth for 1000 years (Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14, 22; Matt. 24:30; Rev.11:15-16; 19:11-16).

True Optimism - Have Faith in Almighty God!

Conservative ideologies and all other human ideologies will have to yield to the absolute righteousness and perfection demanded by Almighty God. No human ideology or philosophy can ever produce or bring about this required righteousness and righteous environment. All will be required to know and worship Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (Reality) - Isaiah 65:16, John: 4:24. The delusional imaginations of man will be forever removed, and all will worship and honor Almighty God for who He Is (Exodus 3:13-15), whether in Heaven above or in Hell below. (Romans 14:11; Philip. 2:10-11). Link

Having faith in Almighty God (Mark 11:22) and a healthy, Biblical optimism based on reality is the only sure hope for the Conservative today. The only true optimist is a Biblical realist.

In these ever-trying and exponentially-changing times, may you put aside your optimistic ideals for this present world to place your Faith and Trust in the only SURE FOUNDATION and SOUND HOPE there is, namely, the REALITY of Almighty God and His Word (Psalm 119:89, 160; Isaiah 40:8; Matt. 24:35, 1 Peter 1:25).

The World View Of The Subjective Conservative
The Steak Has Been Left Out Too Long!

The Subjective World View Of The Conservative

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:45:00 +0000

The Conservative movement today consists of individuals with various personal beliefs (both religious and ideological), but conservatism in general sadly rejects outright the absolute authority of the Bible, the Holy Word of Almighty God. It is a “bestselling” book widely reverenced, but too many Conservatives reject its Divine authority and preeminence. These “Subjective Conservatives” cannot see out of this box called time, and thus they are oblivious to the realities of Holy Scripture truth. This includes the coming establishment of the literal Kingdom of Almighty God on earth, as well as their own eternity destiny (John 3:3-5; Romans 8:5-8; 1 Cor. 2:12-14; Jude 1:19).

"These “Subjective Conservatives” cannot see out of this box called time, and thus they are oblivious to the realities of Holy Scripture truth. This includes the coming establishment of the literal Kingdom of Almighty God on earth, as well as their own eternity destiny"

Many conservatives are on a “suicide alert” today trying to cope with the present realities at hand. One in particular is radio host Michael Savage. He is the most moved and passionate about our declining American culture and government. Sadly though, Mr. Savage and others will not be objective about the realities of Almighty God and His Word to receive its simple message (Acts 16:31; Romans 14:17; 1 Cor. 15:2-4). Why not, you might ask? Well, for one thing a lack of genuine humility will prevent anyone from turning to God and knowing the truth (1 Pet. 5:6; Matt. 11:28-30). Committed and sincere but blinded in their pride, they are thus doomed to their own subjective world view of reality (John 5:37-41; Rom. 7:24-25).

Subjective Conservatives also sadly remain subjects of this world (humanity and time) in which they live, and they will not be objective about their eternal future and their humanity’s desperate need for a Savior (Rom. 1:17-22; 8:5-8; 1 Cor. 2:12-14). They are totally oblivious to realizing our greatest and most desperate need: the righteousness (perfection) of Almighty God which has been provided through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 10:2-4).

The Only Hope for the Conservative

In a day in which we see the utter abandonment of God-given common sense and moral laws, the unrestrained increase of governmental tyranny, and the collapse of our nation’s economy, may the Conservative abandon his subjective (unreal) worldview in favor of an objective one found only in Almighty God and His Word!

Only Almighty God has the remedies and solutions to get us through time and bring us safely into eternity future! Our greatest need is not world peace but peace with Almighty God our Creator and Sustainer (Isaiah 9:6; Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:14). Our greatest need is not conservative moral values but the absolute righteousness (godly perfection) that Almighty God provides to His fallen creation, i.e., man (Rom. 5:12-19; 6:23; 10:4).

It is only when a man or woman, boy or girl abandons their subjective, temporal perspective and looks outside themselves to Almighty God and His saving grace that Almighty God will deliver that individual from the oppressive confines of this sinful world bound in time. Time is only but the womb of eternity. Eternity is where we will abide forever.

"Our greatest need is not world peace but peace with Almighty God our Creator and Sustainer. Our greatest need is not conservative moral values but the absolute righteousness (godly perfection) that Almighty God provides in Christ to His fallen creation, i.e., man."

May I ask you this very personal question? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, as the Holy Scriptures teach? Almighty God so loved you that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins and mine; that He might deliver you from this present evil world and give you forgiveness, pardon and eternal life (Gal. 1:4; John 3:16-17).

My friend, that is what this life, our temporal existence is all about! It's that simple: To know and worship Him in Spirit and Truth, and to enjoy Him for evermore (John 4:24).

May it be your all-wise decision to place your soul's trust in Christ today. I can promise you this of a surety - that you will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A Servant of Christ First - a Conservative Second

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:30:00 +0000

There is a massive power shift underway in Washington D.C. today, which is leading our nation to abandon our Judean/ Christian heritage and founding principles at an alarming rate. Many evangelical Christians are seeing the exponential change in this country toward a secular, socialist state – especially in the last ten months – which is, quite frankly, scaring them to death.

This concern is noteworthy and quite merited in light of the significant changes that are now happening, but many Evangelicals are ignorant the Scriptural prophecies (predictions) describing these very events. They are stumbling over and wondering what Almighty God has been allowing to transpire here in the U.S.A. This rapidly shifting social/ political environment combined with a lack of understanding of what Almighty God’s Word clearly teaches about the day we live in makes for great confusion. Many Evangelicals today are doubting and becoming offended in Almighty God’s providential management of the current status of the United States. Holy Scripture explains quite clearly what the Last Days would be like, and Almighty God expects His dear children not to be ignorant and foolish but wise and understanding about our day in which we are living in (Matthew 24; 1, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 2 Thess. 2:3, Timothy 4:1-3).

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Tim. 3:1-7).

We as Evangelicals and Conservatives here in America should do all we possibly can to slow the decaying process of this “dying corpse” of a once great nation by being the salt of the earth and light of the world, as Christ taught (Matt. 5:13-14). Our faith and hope should not rest in Washington D.C., or the Constitution, or even in practicing our Judean/ Christian conservative ideology (Jer. 17:5-9). Our faith and hope needs to be anchored and rooted in Almighty God and His precious promises. The days of seeking to restore America to its former glory are over. Wake up my Beloved! Our nation - and the entire world - has been decimated from the ongoing transgressions against the spiritual and natural laws of Almighty God (Isaiah 24:5). We are at the point of no return, the bottom of the vortex like it or not. This is a hard pill of reality for many Evangelicals and Conservatives to swallow, but it must.

These days in which we are living in are the catalyse leading to the soon approaching Day of the Lord, the Battle of Armageddon and Lord Jesus Christ's glorious second coming to earth to establish His 1000 Year Kingdom!

Praying (petitioning) for our nation (1 Timothy 2:1-4), having Tea Parties, calling our representatives and elected officials, being up to date on the issues, living out our Judean/ Christian ideals, etc... is all fine and dandy, but do not deceive yourselves in thinking that all of this effort and wishful thinking will re-establish a “Christian” conservative America or a “Christian” conservative utopia here on earth, with the gullible imagination that we will all live happily ever after. Again my friend, we have passed the point of no return in this regard. The steak has been left out in the sun too long and is totally spoiled.

This delusional reasoning is the Satanic Kool-Aid of the day that is being peddled by “religious” conservatives (Rom. 10:2-4, 2 Cor. 11:13-15) who do not honor or know not Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (Matt. 7:21-23; John 4:24; Jude 1:3-4). Many Evangelicals at present are drinking this poison and passing the jug around. Many are departing the faith and sound doctrine and apostatizing into many subtle isms. (1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Peter 2:1). Warning, Be not deceived!

Sadly, many Evangelicals today are oblivious to this Biblical reality. These have submersed themselves into the current events of the day and the restoration of Washington and it has absolutely consumed all of their time and energy. They have constructed a wall of worry, ignorance and temporal foresight so high that they cannot see and comprehend the hour and day in which we are living in. These days in which we are living in are the catalyse leading to the soon approaching Day of the Lord, the Battle of Armageddon and Lord Jesus Christ's glorious second coming to earth to establish His 1000 Year Kingdom! (2 Thess. 2:2-3, Rev 16:13-16, 19:11-21).

My friend, there is a Big Bad Tribulation headed our way and nothing is going to stop that event from transpiring. These have set their “tent pegs” deep in the world reasoning and system, and their affections are on the things of temporal time. These have given a distant second status to their position in Christ and the Gospel proclamation to all the world (Matt. 28:19-20; Rom 1:16). They have lost their eternal vision and focus, and the Heavenly calling given them by Almighty God, which is needed so drastically for today for our nation and world (1 Cor. 2:5; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 1:3; Col. 3:1).

Our Hope and future expectations are not to be found in this passing world but only in Almighty God and His eternal promises (1 John 2:15-17).

Our Holy admonition from Almighty God is that we are to be Christ’s servants (slave) first, and conservative patriots second. This is the proper order for the child of God (John 1:12) today.

Remember my Evangelical Conservative friends, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and a big bad tribulation (Matt 24) is at our door step called "the Day of the Lord". May the Lord Jesus Christ have first place in our lives and may His glorious Gospel message be proclaimed in these Last Days (1 Cor. 10:31, 2 Cor. 5:17-21).

To God be the glory!

They Sold Their Souls to Rock and Roll

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:46:00 +0000

My whole life prior to 1992 was given solely over wholly to the music industry. From playing the music to that of absolutely following all aspects of the industry and culture as some of you who knew me well know. As Almighty God began to get a hold of me and started to redirect me by His Word, I began to see the evils and vices of the whole music culture and life style.

I remember saying to myself - the last day that I played in the last phase of Silent Desire (1986-1992) - I thought to myself... What are you doing? Listen to the lyrics. What are they saying? Look what the consequences of this life style and what it is doing to you and those who you care greatly about. I knew I had to leave it and I knew that Almighty God could not be honored in any way or blessed by it in my life by practicing such godlessness.

Up to this point in my young age I have lived a full life. After three years of wrestling with Almighty God and His Word and trying to justify everything in my manner of living, at the age of twenty four I finally surrendered to Him and began to follow Christ as my Lord and Savior - who is the Savior of the whole World (John 3:16.17). That was in October of 1992. Since then I have been truly blessed by Almighty God. He has blessed me and has filled my soul with His Wonderful Eternal Person and with His plan and future for my life. The music and all of its party lifestyle could never fill the eternal void that possessed me. Only Almighty God can satisfy the famished soul of man (John 6).

In the end, I knew I would have to give an account to Almighty God and I would be doomed if I continued in my rebellion and sin against Him (Heb 9:27).

Before you label me a square or a nut, I would like to challenge you to objectively watch this brief series of documentaries on the music industry and its culture. On this web site you will see for yourself that there is something more sinister behind the whole godless music industry and life style then meets the eye (Eph 6:12). In the end, ask yourself this simple question. Is this what you want to truly serve?

Be brave, be objective and have courage to face the realities at hand. Then you will see what it is all about.

The Lord Jesus stated: You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).

And if the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

Put your faith and trust in Almighty God! He alone can satisfy. He alone can deliver! Put your trust in Him today. You will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

"WHY ARE THE FOOLISH IN CHARGE OF AMERICA?

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:26:00 +0000

Conservative web journalists and radio talk show hosts are beside themselves at the stupidity of the Obama administration, and rightly so. We, too, bewail the squander of America's wealth, the weakening of her military, the traitorous, despicable mishandling of the CIA, the celebration of moral wickedness, the encroachment of constitutional liberties, the blind commitment to environmental myths, and so much more. While Bush conducted a war on terrorism (though he didn't really take off the gloves), Obama appears to be conducting a war on the war on terrorism.

All of these things, though, are mere symptoms of a deeper problem, one that very few of the conservative pundits understand. America's root problem is the apostasy and compromise of her churches. The problem is not in the White House; it is in God's house. America is not a Christian nation, but America was founded largely by church-going, God-fearing people and the majority of her citizens are still professing Christians.

The root of America's woes is spiritual. The people don't fear God because the churches don't preach the fear of God. For that reason the issue can't be solved by political action and moralistic crusades and Republican or Libertarian rants. I am thankful for the watchdog role of the conservative media and for the fact that there is a viable alternative media today, but the best thing Bible-believing Christians can do to help America is to seek God's face and purify our individual lives and congregations and keep our focus on Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).

A man that has not submitted himself to the gospel of Jesus Christ but who follows false religion such as Catholicism (Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Michael Reagan), Judaism (Michael Medved, Mark Levin, and Dennis Prager), and Mormonism (Glenn Beck), or who believes the Bible contains myths and denies Christ's blood atonement (Rush Limbaugh and Neal Boortz) does not have the spiritual wisdom necessary to understand the times, and Bible believers would be wise not to drink deeply of such wells.

"Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths" (Isaiah 3:11-12).

If the biblical churches in America would take this matter seriously and call for some special prayer meetings, for fasting and earnest prayer, falling on their faces and confessing their sins, God would probably hear and turn back the tide of wickedness and give us more years. Instead, though, for the most part it is business as usual, and if anything at all is being done it is a misguided attempt to address the situation according to the flesh rather than the spirit, by politics and rantings and anger and fear and frustration and worldly demonstrations and unscriptural associations.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" (2 Corinthians 10:4).

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof" (Rom. 13:11-14)."

Yes, we need to pray earnestly for on going freedom in our land to preach the Word and share the Gospel. May the Lord bless you.

On April 7th there was a Homeland Security report dated which brought great alarm to all Conservatives entitled, "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." WND {Article Link}

This report seeks to legitimize the surveillance and demonizing of many conservative groups, values, leaders and core beliefs founded in our Judeo-Christian heritage. Make no mistake: this report is the spearhead of the current Radical Leftist Administration.

Since the release of this report six months ago, the slander from the Left has greatly intensified. Obama and his Leftist goons are waging total war on America ’s Judean/Christian heritage, the Right and the Righteous (Romans 3:22, 10:4). The Left has been accelerating its war against CIA officials and the previous Bush Administration for alleged war crimes against humanity. They have been leveling their slander at NRA members, and labeling responsible gun owners as "Extremist Right Wing Militias." They have also been slandering common American citizens as evil, calling them fear and evil mongers, racists, haters, Nazi "Brown Shirts" and Hitler’s SS (Storm Troopers). They are intensifying their attacks and seeking to marginalize Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and the New Media. They are also continuing to go after respected members of the Medical Community - including doctors - as greedy, self-seeking opportunists, Capitalism and so on and so forth. They are clearly using such Machiavellian tactics and a radical Leftist strategy to bring about a fascist state here in America!

This administration is hell-bent on conducting a subtle stealth war against the Right and its values. It has been in the heart of this President since his early days. The report’s main purpose is to plant the seed of suggestion and move a hostile action line and agenda. The Left is engaging in a total offensive war against the Right, with very little Republican opposition in Washington. The Left’s main goal is to preserve and protect its power base and eliminate any threats against its political agenda. They are riding high on a wave of political momentum and are drunken with their acquisition of power.

As we look at the history of the Leftist agenda through out the twentieth century we see the parallel out-workings in this current administration and Leftist-dominated House and Senate. The masses are “ripe for the picking” and the stage and setting seem perfect for the coup. For decades the never-ceasing Media’s attacks on the Constitutional ideals of our Founding Fathers has “softened up the ground” of public opinion. The bureaucratic infantry is now ready to roll in and seize absolute power.

How much more do Conservatives have to see until we truly patriotic Americans finally comprehend that our liberties and ideals are likely in their final days. Like Rome of old, we are being destroyed from within. This statement is not meant to sound like “doom and gloom” but an honest assessment of our nation’s current condition. All the Right can do is redouble their efforts and seek to hold onto our great heritage that we once possessed. Soon there will be no place to go nor hide.

The Bible, God’s Holy Word, has stated repeatedly that in the Last Days, a despotic global tyrant - a Secular Fascist - will arise to reign over the world with great power and absolute authority (Dan. 7:8, 17-25; 9:26; 11:36-43; Luke 4:6; 2 Thess. 2:2-4, 9; Rev. 13; 17:8, 11-17).

In a demonic, Satanically-inspired rage, this man Will Make War with the saints of Almighty God and the Lamb who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Dan. 7:21; Rev. 11:7; 13: 7; 17:12,14). He will have the authority and ability to prevail over God’s people on earth for a short time until his absolute defeat and destruction at the Battle of Armageddon (Dan. 7:26; 11:44-45; 2 Thess. 2:8, Rev 19:20). There will be an absolute global war - on an unprecedented global level - to eradicate from the face of the earth all that know Almighty God and the Lamb (The Lord Jesus Christ) as Lord and Savior. In pursuit of his insane desires and vain ambitions, Satan’s final attempt to overthrow Almighty God and His Eternal Sovereignty will lead to his own demise and ultimate destruction.My friend, God’s Word has given us a clear-cut picture on how events would be in the last days. Nothing can stop these events from coming to pass. Today, Americans live in a false reality and delude themselves, saying, “It can never happen to us.”

My friend, that is our Achilles heel! America will eventually succumb to the unbridled passions of men and the tyranny that our Founders feared. Our good intentions and vainly optimistic hope will be our undoing.

Like the Titanic, the American ideal has hit an iceberg and is taking in water fast. Sadly, it is just a matter of time until we go down to the depths and are removed from the scene to usher in The Day of the Lord - the Great Tribulation (Matt. 24). -SEE CHART-

In these terribly turbulent and changing times prior to His coming, may you allow Almighty God to bring you the Hope and Comfort that only He can give. If you do not know The Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, may it be your sincerest desire to receive Him today.

The Kingdom of Heaven truly is at hand!

Our thoughts and limited foresight are not possibly able to maneuver through and compete in life’s complex maze and stand against our adversary (the Lucifer- Eph. 6:12) in this arena in which we dwell. Only Almighty God has the Eternal insight and wisdom to direct His children's foot steps through this highly complex maze called life and safely lead them through to their eternal home.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (James 1:5).

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8,9).

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered (Psalm 40:5).

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6).

God keeps us in the environment which is the most fertile and productive for our spiritual growth. Either we will take advantage of the learning process or we will not. It is our choice. May our desire be to learn, grow, endure, have faith in Almighty, be thankful and rejoice for His great love and out working in our lives through the Holy Spirit. To God be the glory!

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake (Psalm 23:1-3).

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverb 3:5, 6).

What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him (God) shall he teach in the way that he shall choose (Psalm 25:12).

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way (Psalm 37:23).

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:9).

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Col 1:9-14).

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Phil 2:12-13).

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thess. 5:18).

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice! (Phil 4:4).

Beloved of God, follow Him and He will guide and lead you through lifes adversities and joys. Our lives have only just begun. Eternity await us! Oh what a day that will be!

Even so come Lord Jesus!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Our Lives Have Only Just Begun!

Our lives have only just begun as we walk through this weary world (called time). Christ leads the way to God’s glorious eternal day, where we shall all live happily forever and ever after (Rev 22:1-6).

In truth and in bliss; In that day, being able to truly enjoy Almighty God as He truly is; in the absolute beauty of righteousness with no more of our fallen humanity to distract us (Romans 7:24,25, 2 Cor 5:2).

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (1 Cor 2:9).

Endure today’s trials, woes and joys knowing that it is not in vain for those who know the Lamb of God and truly seek the Father's will for His Glory and Honor (Romans 8:28)!

Our lives have truly only just begun!

Rush Limbaugh’s Far Greater Adversary – Lucifer!

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:03:00 +0000

Rush Limbaugh, America’s Anchor man, The Doctor of Democracy, America’s Truth Detector, the Harmless Little Fuzz Ball has been of late the victim of a vicious barrage of slander and hate. This onslaught was perpetrated by the collective left in this country over his attempt to partner with a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams, an NFL franchise. These attacks have been fueled and fired by two race-card playing charlatans and apostate Christian leaders of the Left, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (see Matt. 7:16, 21-23; 12:33; 2 Tim. 3:1-6).

The Liberal, State-Run Media has been working feverishly to distribute the Kool-Aid to those “oblivious despisers” wishing to cause maximum damage to Limbaugh’s character and reputation. It is what these wolves do best.

In the Bizarro World America of the Left (Isa 5:20), which includes Washington D.C., Hollywood, the State-Run Media (including the Political and Sports world and its Kool-Aid drinking mob), there is absolutely no place for Conservatism - let alone Judean/ Christian values - to exist. The Left absolutely despises these ideologies and realities and seeks to destroy them at any cost (John 3:18-20).

The Liberal (Leftist) mind and heart twists reality and truth to fit their alternative world of delusion. They are subjective and narcissist; they follow the unbridled passions of their fallen humanity and seek to achieve status, power and prestige at any cost (2 Tim. 3: 1-7). These have given themselves over to the basest of ideals and have abandoned the spiritual and moral absolutes of time and eternity (Rom. 1:18-32). The secular Liberal mindset is the most susceptible and open to the highly organized and rebellious agenda of the first radical in Almighty God’s creation – Lucifer (2 Cor. 4:3-4; Eph. 2:1-3).

The Bible - God’s Holy Word - states the true reality that describes this fallen world of man (Rom. 5:12-19) and who is truly calling the shots against all that is just and right. Satan's (Lucifer's) agenda takes precedence over all human ones. His influence over the masses that live in a godless, base world are the easiest to deceive and drive as cattle using his subtle and hypnotic agenda (Luke 4:5-6; John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:3-4).

Almighty God’s Word states: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12).

This agenda is far greater than any human has ever conceived. It exceeds us in a multitude of ways. Unfortunately, the majority of Conservatives are oblivious to this truth - let alone the Left. They cannot think “out of the box” of this world in which we live. Even Conservatives possess a subjective mindset and, apart from the grace of God, do not grasp any vision of Christ's Kingdom to come - which is at hand - and the destiny and eternal future of all mankind.

In the light of the latest all-out attack on Rush Limbaugh, his character and accomplishments, Limbaugh’s adversary is far greater than he ever imagines. The battlefield far more horrific than he could ever conceive. The souls and eternal destinies of billions are at stake. There is at present an intensely heated battle for the spiritual soul of America and its current position on the chessboard of the world in time. Rush Limbaugh (representing our nation's Judean/ Christian heritage and conservative ideology) stands in direct opposition to a major goal of the god of this world (i.e., Lucifer), which is the demise and removal of the United States of America as a world power. The United States is a major restrainer of evil and the unbridled desires and passions of fascist (base) men throughout the world. From the founding of our country, Lucifer’s game plan has been to destroy America from within and to make it a base, secular nation. Rush and many others in the New Media are seeing this happening today quite rapidly under the socialistic and fascist dictates of Barak Obama and a Leftist controlled congress. Never in the history of this nation has there been such a rapid seizure of power and fascist form of government control instituted upon the American people. John Adams prophecy is coming true that "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."

Lucifer’s godless agenda, i.e., the absence and removal of honoring and worshiping God in spirit and truth (John 4:24), and the secular movement is preparing the way for the upcoming global, fascist state of Lucifer’s Man of Lawlessness, the Anti-Christ (Dan. 7:23-25; Matt. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13).

Little is known regarding whether Rush truly believes the Holy Scriptures and has saving faith in Jesus Christ. Whatever might be the case, Limbaugh's conservative activism, his great dedication to the fundamental principles of the Constitution of the United States, and his adherence to the original vision of our Founding Fathers is enough to put him in the target sights of the god of this world, Lucifer.

Rush and other conservative leaders are up against a foe far greater then MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barak Obama. These all serve the radical ideology of Lucifer and either knowingly or unknowingly are doing his bidding in lock step (John 8:44; Acts 13:10). [Just a brief note here: Unbelieving Conservatives also are swayed by Lucifer but not to the full extent of the secular Liberal mind.]

It is helpful to be objective - not subjective - in one's worldview. In a world where globalism, godlessness, government tyranny, violence, anti-Semitism/ anti-Americanism, and anti-God/ anti-Bible/ anti-Christian sentiment is on a sharp rise, truly what hope is there here in this “Womb of Eternity” called Time?

My friend, there is only ONE hope that is true, ONE expectation that is real, ONE Savior who can save, ONE way that is right, ONE Deliverer and ONE reality: The Lord Jesus Christ, Almighty God the Son!

Rush and fellow conservatives, we need more than our conservative ideology and optimism for eternity future and our expectations here in time. Time is but a drop in the bucket, but eternity is as vast as the biggest ocean. In our own strength we can never beat the god of this world and his ultra-intelligent wiles (Eph. 6:11). The Bible tells us what is and will be. The Global fascist state of Lucifer and his Anti-Christ must come to pass. There is no stopping the future (1 John 2:18; 2 Thess. 2:3-10; Rev. 13). The good news is that at the end of his global, despotic reign, the Lord Jesus Christ will destroy his demonic kingdom and establish His 1000-year reign in righteousness and in truth (Isa. 9:6-7; Dan. 2:43-44; Rev. 19:11-21). Then - and only then - will there be world peace and conservatism as Almighty God meant it to be forevermore. That alone is the only hope for mankind in these exponentially changing times.

It is your personal choice. Either you as an individual will choose to place your faith in God’s Savior of your soul, or you will not.

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6-7) as your personal Savior? He alone is where all our expectations should be found. Have Faith in Almighty God (Mark 11:22), and your eyes will opened to see the Biblical realities of time and eternity. Then - and only then - will you truly be free to engage in the realities of the day in which we live with real hope and change!

Place your trust in the Prince of Peace today. You will never be the same!

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

Searching In Vain For A Black Cat In The Dark

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:55:00 +0000

NASA’s recent rocket launch into the south pole of the moon was to see if water was underneath the moon's surface. This little fact finding mission has cost the American tax payers roughly 79 million dollars. A 79 million dollar search for the answers that Almighty God’s Word states for absolutely free. One of the key reasons for this extravaganza was for the search of water for supporting a colony on the moon. NASA and its followers believe if water can be found on the moon or on any planet, that they can prove that “life” can existed in other worlds. There are many in the scientific community today that believe that extra terrestrial life exists and that they will be our saviors to our world and our mentors for our future. This expectation by the evolutionist community might sound strange to some but it is their earnest hope.

NASA - which is a government secular organization that promotes and breathes Darwinism, holds firmly to the absolutely ridiculous core beliefs of the theory of evolution. They reject passionately the reality that Almighty God created the heavens and the earth, especially in seven days and about six thousand years ago (Gen 1:1, Psalm 90:2, Isa. 45:18). They are the chief opponents to any teaching that contradicts their reprobate philosophy and ideology and are quite aggressive towards any who would want to teach creationism. These profess to be the off spring of time and chance and the descendants of hydrogen and monkeys. This alone takes more faith then anything that I can possible think of.

The Evolutionist use and twist the wonderful natural laws of science created by Almighty God to promote the worshipful practice of Darwinism in their never ending quest and pursuit for answers to their vain godless philosophy (Rom 1:21-22).

The laws of cause and effect contradict this godless secular humanistic reasoning but facts and reality are no object when one has their hearts bent on a alternative reality (Jer. 17:9).

Looking in the Dark for Something That Is Not There

The majority of humanity are no different (Roms 5:12-19). Mankind is searching for a black cat, in a dark room, with black painted walls, with a broken flash light with out batteries and the black cat does not even exist. This expedition is the ultimate tragic quest of vanity and futility. Generation upon generation has come up empty - as history can attest to in this never ending search for answers and meaning (Eccl, Isa 59:8-9).

Apart from Almighty God, how will lost mankind ever find meaning and the answers to life's mysteries? My friend, when one rejects Almighty God’s Word of truth, honestly, what hope does one have in this savage world? How tragic will it be for those in the end when absolute reality must be honored by all those who absolutely despise and reject it for all eternity (Phil 2:10-11, 2 Thess. 2:9-12, Jude 1:8, Rev 21:27).

When humanity rejects Almighty God’s Holy Spirit, His witness of Creation’s glories, His infallible Word and the witness of man’s own conscious, the tragic result is a delusion vanity and absolute ruin (Romans 1:18-32, Matt 25:41, Rev 20:10-15).

No one knows this more than King Solomon of old. King Solomon possessed it all: wisdom, brilliance, discernment, authority, prestige, riches/ wealth, property/ possessions, power, fame, women and glory. Amazingly, as he was reflecting on his life in his last days, he made this very sobering and tragic statement: “Vanity of vanities… all is vanity”

Man is all that Almighty God will keep when all is said and done. The vast glorious creation of the celestial heavens (sky and space) and the wonders here on planet earth and its nature laws of science will all be removed and destroyed ( 2 Peter 3:7,10) for a New Heavens and Earth that is without corruption and ruin (Isa 65:17, 1 Peter1:4, Rev 21:1 -27).

Almighty God offers reality (truth) and hope to all that call upon him.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else (Isa 45:22).

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12).

The endless quest in vanity and its futile answers cease when one turns to Almighty God and His saving grace that is found only in the Person of His dear Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? He alone can set you free from the darkness of this godless world system (John 8:32, 36). He has all the answers and has all the solutions you will ever need. He offers you a life of purpose and a heavenly calling that will last for ever (2 Cor. 5:17-21, Thess. 1:9). Won’t you place your trust in Him today? You will never be the same!

The Kingdom of God is at Hand!

God of Wonders (Creation vs Evolution)

The Nobel Peace Delusion and the True Prince of Peace

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 04:57:00 +0000

To the surprise of the majority of Americans and the entire world, on 10/9/09 U.S. President Barak H. Obama was chosen to receive this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.

It is no secret to any who follow politics or world events on the Right that the Nobel Peace Prize Foundation is an elitist, secular liberal body with a secular liberal utopian vision for the world and pushes a godless leftist agenda (Isaiah 30:1). The past recipients of this Award undoubtedy reveal this organization’s leftist leanings.

All one has to do is to listen to President Obama’s acceptance speech today to understand it was chock full of globalistic overtones. There was every kind of “-ism” to be heard, including ecumenicalism, pluralism, universalism, secularism, delusional fallen humanism, absurd optimism (see Psalm 146:3; Isaiah 2:22; Jer. 17:5; Rom 5:12-19). Most tellingly, there was absolutely no acknowledgement of Almighty God the Creator of all that is in the Heavens and the Earth. Highly conspicuous for its absence was any mention of the God of Truth and Reality (see Gen. 18:25; Deut 32:4; John 4:24; 14:6-7).

Much like the United Nations, the Nobel Foundation honors those that are hostile towards Judean/ Christian values, the true foundational/ constitutional establishment of the United States of America, and God’s chosen people, the nation of Israel (Gen. 12:1-3; Deut. 7:6).

To quote Rush Limbaugh today (10/9/09) from his golden EIB microphone:

“Now, look, folks, here's the real issue. The bigger issue here is how the left-wing global elite is manipulating Obama from the United Nations to the Nobel committee to capitals in Europe, and that's exactly what this award is. It's an attempt to manipulate Obama to the detriment of the United States. They know that they have a kindred spirit, a leftist radical -- and they are using invitations for speeches and praise, and now the peace prize to help motivate him, to keep him on the path he's on toward destroying the United States of America as a world superpower.”

Well said, Mr. Limbaugh!

Be Not Deceived!

By the reception of this highly prestigious leftist award, many will be deceived and see this prize as vindication and affirmation of President Obama to push a leftist agenda here in the United States, aided and abetted by a leftist, Democratically-controlled House and Senate, and a leftist secular media (1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

This agenda consists of the final removal and eradication of the United States’ Judean/ Christian heritage and its founding laws as a Democratic Republic. This will pave the way for these statists to conform America into a new secular state as a complying member of the new secular, socialistic global community.

The Promoter of a “Bizarro” Peace

The Master of this whole global movement is none other than Lucifer (or Satan), the god of this world (Eph. 2:1-3). He alone is the Master Tactician behind the affairs of this world (Luke 4:5-6). Almighty God’s Word states:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12).

The key today is clearly this: We need to understand where America stands in light of Satan’s godless agenda and his ever-energetic building of his global community which excludes the presence of Almighty God (Revelation 13). A strong United States of America - with its heritage that was founded on the Bible and Judean/ Christian values - stands firmly in the way of Satan’s global ambitions of a unified “base” humanity that will worship him and his global Fascist Minion (Anti-Christ) to come (Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 14).

The Anti-Christ will use peace as a basis of his scheme for global unification and domination. He will make bold promises and arrange a 7-year peace treaty between the surrounding world nations and Israel, but he breaks his promise and instead brings destruction and desolation to God’s chosen people before he himself is judged (Dan. 8:23-25; 9:27). The one who judges him will be none other than Christ Himself, the true Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6), who is also called the “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords” (Rev. 19:15-16).

His Leftist destroyers have almost completed their assignment as Lucifer’s wrecking ball. Our nation is bound to collapse under the weight of our error and transgressions into a pile of rubble. Once the United States - the major world "Superpower" - is removed, his push will be towards Israel and global Anti-Semitism (Zech. 13:8-9; 14:2; Matt. 24:9, 15-22; Rev. 12:13-17). The final blows to America's heritage and Superpower status will most likely come from this present Leftist-controlled Congress and the Obama Administration - who are fascist at their heart.

Dare To Look Into The Eyes Of The Beast of Reality

My friend, take a good look into the eyes of the beast of reality. What hope do you see for humanity? If we dare to be objective and real with ourselves, what we will see is absolute despair, hopelessness and doom for mankind. The delusional appraisal of optimism cannot sustain the weight of the reality at hand. Only Almighty God can deliver one from the devastating consequences of the godless out workings of fallen man. All these things must be and come to pass in fulfillment of God’s infallible Word.

The Only Peace Solution

My friend, do you know the Savior of the world the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? He alone can deliver you from the devastating consequences of man and from the wrath to come on this ungodly world. He alone is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6, Eph 2:14, Rev 19:11-21). Human (Rom 5:12-19) peace is a delusion and a lie with out Jesus Christ. Almighty God sent His Son to rescue all who call upon Him. No one is left out. All are summoned; all are called to the cross to repent of their transgression and sins against Almighty God.

God so loved you that He sent His Son to die in your place so that you can live forever with Him and enjoy Him forever (John 3:16-17)! My friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that!! Won’t you place your trust in God through the Lord Jesus Christ today.

My friend, you will never be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at Hand!

The Base World of David Letterman and Hollywood

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 01:00:00 +0000

In light of the recent and base actions of David Letterman – which few are condemning in the liberal media – Mr. Letterman once again mocked Sarah Palin and made her the butt of his humor and sarcasm. I think it’s “funny” that Letterman has shown absolutely no remorse nor a hint of shame in the recent exposure of his adulterous scandal. The only remorse from Letterman has been that he was exposed and caught as an adulterer. It is just regarded as a joke and something to laugh at. In the godless, delusional Bizarro world of reprobate Hollywood, he has every right to indulge in his base, unbridled passions and to scoff at and slander any who would hold him accountable. Thus far Letterman has worn this as a “badge of honor,” and along with those who enjoy this secular reprobate’s late night show has played it as great sport. In fact, Letterman’s ratings the last couple of nights have been quite good.

In the base world of David Letterman, morality and absolutes do not exist. He rejects moral boundaries and absolutes, and in his reprobate mind any who profess and practice them are evil. Mr. Letterman despises Judean/ Christian values and any who hold them dear. Those in this category are usually made the butt of his jokes.

As mentioned earlier, one of Letterman’s favorite targets is Sarah Palin. Mrs. Palin is a Bible-believing Christian, a conservative Republican who is pro-life, a happily married mother of five children, and she is a great American success story. Only last night - a day after Letterman’s licentious and empty-hearted apology - Letterman took the stage to clear the air and chose to once again lash out against Sarah Palin and her soon to be released
number one memoir Going Rogue: An American Life. Over the next two weeks Letterman plans to count down from 15 in a series entitled, “Things more fun than reading Sarah Palin's Memoir,” using his trademark lewd and sarcastic humor (see Ecclesiastes 7:6).

What a little tiny man Mr. Letterman is to deflect from his own Late Night licentious dealings and folly to slander and mock one who practices faith in Almighty God, Judean/ Christian values, morality, and holds to a conservative ideology. The very ideals he hates (John 3:19-20) are the ideals which condemn Lettermen’s actions and weigh heavily on his guilty conscience. How else would one expect Mr. Letterman to react in light of his base actions and exposed infidelities?

Listen to what the Bible teaches about such individuals as David Letterman:

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves (Jude 1:10).

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption (2 Peter 2:12).

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (Phil 3:19).

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them (Roman 1:28-32).

The Bizarro World of Hollywood

Letterman is just one of many in the “bizarro world” culture of Hollywood’s elites who love to pontificate against any who practice morality and faith in Almighty God, while promoting the basest ideals (e.g., adultery and multiplying marriages) and glorifying them. They actually see themselves as role models and cultural trend-setters to be followed and worshiped in lockstep. Hollywood’s glamorization and glorification of youthful beauty and human talent are just a thin veil of flesh housing the septic tank stench of their shallow soul and their deeds (Jer. 17:9; Matt. 15:16-20; Jude 1:10). Many today are deceived by this attractive cloak. They see only the tangible, visible appearance while they are blind to their wicked heart and godless actions (1 Tim 4:1-3; 2 Tim 3:1-6; Jude 1:4).

"Woe unto you Hollywood!"

Woe unto you Hollywood! Woe unto all that call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20). They will not get by with it, and they will find it most sobering when having to give an account in the Day of Judgment to Almighty God! (Rev 20:11-15)

It is our sincere desire that those in Hollywood - including Mr. Letterman - would turn from their godless ways and look to Almighty God for His grace, mercy and forgiveness. All of God’s children who have been redeemed in Christ have done so and can testify to this fact (2 Cor. 5:17-19; Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:1-9).

We can now sing from our hearts:
.
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see.

In the end, Christ will either be our Savior or our Judge. It is our personal choice. Which one will you choose?

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Seek and Destroy – The Ongoing War Against Sarah Palin

Seek and Destroy - The On Going War Against Sarah Palin

theignorantfishermen@live.com (The Ignorant Fishermen) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:05:00 +0000

Ever since Sarah Palin entered the national political arena last summer as the Republican VP nominee, she has caused sheer panic in the hearts and minds of the Leftist Liberals in America. Accordingly, the Leftist media is hell-bent on doing all they can to discredit Palin’s accomplishments and destroy her character at any cost. Even now, much effort and energy is being expended to deceive the American people regarding her considerable achievements. Her popularity among conservatives is astounding, and many believe that she will get the 2012 endorsement for the presidency.

The Left and its State-Run Media Minions are now extremely busy trying to discredit Palin and have set up an unparalleled smear campaign to derail any 2012 presidential run.

Remember how the Left loathed and eschewed George W. Bush? Their daily bombardments and slander of this man absolutely destroyed his character, reputation and achievements. It didn’t help that he sat by and took it and never went after his political enemies. The New Tone destroyed Bush and weakened the Republican Party so to strip it of any power.

This destructive and slanderous tactic worked so well against GWB that the Left is now applying the same politics of personal destruction against Sarah Palin. Although with Palin, the Left have a fight on their hands and they know it.

Palin, a social and moral Conservative, sends chills up the spines of the Leftist Media Elite. They are honestly horrified of her fundamental core values and belief in moral absolutes. There is something about moral absolutes, core values, accountability and faith in Almighty God that absolutely terrifies the liberal-progressive mindset. The Liberal mind utterly abhors and rejects these tenets. They live in a “relative,” pluralist reality and any threat to their delusional world must be attacked and destroyed.There are no depths of the destructive slander, no depths of baseless acquisitions, no lawsuit too frivolous, and no tactic beyond the hate-filled secular-leftist, “Democrat” organization that they will not use to hold their power base and autocratic position of national leadership. This is an all-out war to them and any threat must be exterminated. It is a Leftist trait. Look at the history of Hitler and the Nazis, Stalin and the Communists, Castro, Mao, etc. Seek and destroy to preserve the position of power at any cost.

This weekend Sarah Palin announced her resignation as Governor of Alaska. She stated that she was not able to fully do her job as Governor while under such a “full court press” from the Leftist storm troopers out to destroy her. She explained that it wouldn’t be fair to the citizens of Alaska if all her time was diverted from state business to her personal fight with her political adversaries. We can only imagine what the next year would be like for her and the citizens of Alaska under this aggressive, hate-filled Leftist raiding party.

Who truly knows what Palin’s future political ambitions are for the future? For all we know, she might just be calling it quits. Who can endure such a supernatural movement of the demonic world and of the fallen, base mind of the political Left machine?

The Bigger Picture

One only needs to think “outside the box” of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word to see more clearly the big picture. The Word of God teaches: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12). It's much bigger than just us!

Here is the heart of the matter. There is now ensuing a Great Spiritual War for the hearts, minds and souls of men. Satan's desire is to remove the United States from the World Stage along with its Judean/ Christian heritage. Also included in his diabolical plan for the country’s demise are any remnants of Christian testimony and support of Israel. At the present time, Satan's Minions abound everywhere in the American Mainstream Media. They unknowingly do his will (see 2 Corinthians 4:4) . Satan’s goal is to destroy any semblance of "Rightness" and that which threatens his evil agenda.

In the Great Tribulation period which is coming upon the Whole World (see Luke 21:35), God's Two Mighty Jewish Witnesses (Rev.11:3-13) will speak with great Authority and rebuke the inhabitants of the world for their Godlessness. They will also preach repentance and faith in Jesus Messiah for Salvation. The Bible says that their Words will torment the inhabitants of the World. Satan will seek to destroy these Witnesses via the media, national governments, assassination attempts, etc. - all to no avail until the allotted time. They will preach God's Word and it will torment those who reject it. We can see today just a glimpse of what will be attempted in the near future.

Jesus said, "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God" (John 3:19-21).

How real and how true is this truth! People run for the hills, change the subject, run for cover, hide their children, tremble and shake whenever the True Gospel message of Jesus Christ is declared.

My friend, God loves you and sent his Son Jesus Christ to be our Savior, and to save us from the wrath which is to come on the ungodly. You don't have to hide from Him. He is there to receive you as you receive Him, and to love you and deliver you from the judgment and consequences of sin.

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, trust Him today! Quit hiding in fearfulness and receive Him today. Only Christ will CHANGE your life and you will never be the same.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
