A WINDOW OF GRACE

   "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land.  Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place."  (2nd Chronicles 7: 14-15)
   With all of the votes counted in this presidential election in the United States, and now that Donald J. Trump is our President-elect, God is giving this nation a window of grace:  a time to reflect, a time to repent, and a time to turn back to God. 
   This has been the prayer of many Christians in this country.  The Lord has heard our prayer, He has answered our prayer, and now the people of the United States must choose, during the time that this window of grace is open, if we are to make America great again.
      "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  (Philippians 2: 10-11)
  

  

SERMON ON THE MOUNT

   The Sermon on the Mount is considered to be the greatest sermon ever preached, and Jesus never raised His voice in ten Bible verses.
      "Blessed are the poor in spirit:  for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
        Blessed are they that mourn:  for they shall be comforted.
        Blessed are the meek:  for they shall inherit the earth.
        Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:  for they shall be filled.
        Blessed are the merciful:  for they shall obtain mercy.
        Blessed are the pure in heart:  for they shall see God.
        Blessed are the peacemakers:  for they shall be called the children of God.
        Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:  for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
        Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
        Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:  for great is your reward in heaven:  for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."   (Matthew 5: 3-12)

MEET THE AMERICANS

   Meet the Americans:  we ARE America!
   The American people are children of immigrants, who came to this land in search of freedom---freedom from the tyranny of governments and freedom from the tyranny of religions---and on this land they found that freedom!
       "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."  (Matthew 6: 33)
   The American people have built America.
   The American people are responsible for this "one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all".
   We cleared the land and built farms to feed our families.  But because of the abundance of God's blessings, the American people have always produced more than enough food to help feed other nations.
   The American people have built companies and corporations that have produced jobs for people to work, to earn wages, and not to live in poverty, nor as slaves to the state. 
   Because of this freedom to build and achieve, America became the wealthiest nation in human history.  Because we are caring and sharing people, we have shared this abundance of wealth by giving foreign aid for many decades to many nations.
   The American people have built our strong national defense, not only to protect and defend our own freedom, but our military has helped to defend other nations so that they can also be free.
   We have built schools, not only to educate our own people, but we have helped to educate the world. 
   We have built churches, not only as places to worship God in our own nation, but we have helped to built churches all over the world, which has helped to fulfill the commandment of Christ:
      "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world."  (Matthew 28: 19)
   Lest we forget, the United States became the first nation in human history where people can be free:  free to worship, but also free not to worship; free to vote, or free not to vote; free to remain in this land, but also free to leave this place.
   In the words of President John Kennedy, the United States became that place where:
      "Man will be what he was born to be:  free and independent."
   Lest we forget, the United States is a special place on planet earth.  Let us not take this freedom for granted.  Let us not assume that this nation will always be free.  We must continue to work to keep this treasure.  And we must continue to stand up and let our voices be heard.  For the blood that is shed for our freedom cries out from the ground as a reminder that freedom is not free.
   Neither let us forget God.  For if a nation forgets God, God will forget that nation.
      "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep his commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man."  (Ecclesiastes 12: 13)
     

MEET THE REPROBATES

   Meet the reprobates:  "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever.  Amen."  (Romans 1: 25)
   The leaders of the world today are Satanists and pedophiles.  Name a government and name a religion and there they are, ruling over people. 
   Dressed in fancy suits and priestly garments, they are deceiving billions of people to follow them, to trust in them, to believe in their words, to accept them, and even to worship them as gods and goddesses upon the earth.
   Behind closed doors and in secret chambers, however, they worship Satan.  And in their Satanic rituals, they sexually abuse young children and babies before offering their little bodies as human sacrifices on the altar of Satan.  This is where infant baptism originated by pagan priests. 
   The reprobates control the world's money.  By controlling the money, they control everything else on the face of the earth, which they use to control people.
   The reprobates are masters of mind control methods through education and religion in order to prevent people from thinking about God, from thinking about Christ, and from thinking about the Bible, thereby preventing people from gaining the knowledge of God. 
   Reprobates are psychopaths:  they have no conscience.  Their minds constantly and continually dwell on evil while deceiving people to believe that they are eloquent religious leaders, model Christians in churches, for they also stand in pulpits pretending to be servants of God.
      "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 that 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, covenant-breakers, 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."  (Romans 1: 28-32)
   Reprobates are evil people.  Their agenda is to rule and reign over the earth and to kill people in the name of their god, who is Satan, or Lucifer, or the Devil.

MEET HAMSTER

   Hamster spends his days running in a wheel.  He never advances and he never looks back; always running, but never arriving. 
   Hamster does not know how he arrived in a wheel, to live his life there.  He never asks, he never questions, and his day today is no different than yesterday, but he does not know that his day tomorrow will be no different than today.
   Hamster is all dressed up to go nowhere, yet he believes he is on his way.  As long as he stays on the path that is set before him, he will arrive in the place of his destiny---as soon as he dies.
   Hamster's mind has been programmed to be everything he believes he is, and to be no more; for his mind has been programmed to never ask, to never question, to never look back, to never consider the purpose of his own existence, and to never research the history of his own belief. 
   Hamster sees others looking at him, and he likes that.  He likes to be the center of attention.  He likes for others to listen to him.  He likes for other to watch him as he lives his life, running the path, and he likes to think:  if others could only see me now.
   Hamster swings his golf clubs the same way he swung yesterday and for always, but his game score never improves.  This never bothers him, for his life is all about spinning in the wheel.  In his mind, he knows everything he needs to know about golf, and therefore there is nothing new that he should know. For him, it is being seen  that matters, not his swing---and certainly not his score; for him, that is all he needs to know.
   Hamster still likes the things that children like.  He likes Santa Claus, he likes the Easter bunny, and he likes stories that do not challenge his mind; for he is not supposed to think independently, nor to stray from the path he is running.
   Hamster's pace never changes.  If he runs too slow, his past will catch up with him.  If he runs too fast, he will arrive in the future, which is a strange land.  His pace, therefore, is always the same, for Hamster lives in a present state of mind.  He is, after all, running in place because his mind never changes.  He has no concern for his past, and he is not worried about the future. 
   Hamster says he believes in a place called Heaven, yet he has no interest in telling others about this place, nor does he desire to share with others the way to get there.
   In the spinning wheel, Hamster is a prisoner to his religion---while not knowing that his religion is a creation from the imaginations of men. 
   Being deceived, he believes his religion has covered his sins as he also believes his religion has secured his future.  He has no knowledge of God, or knowledge of Christ, because his mind has been filled with the knowledge of religion, which is the knowledge of men.  Therefore, Hamster spends his days running toward an imaginary heaven that will not be there when he dies, for neither does he have any knowledge of the Bible.
      "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 though him might be saved."  (John 3: 16-17)
  
  

THE CRUCIFIX

   In the minds of young children, Santa Claus can fly.
   Through the eyes of young children, do they see the crucifix of Jesus as a dead man?
   To young children, which one is alive?
   Is the crucifix on the wall a reminder to young children that Jesus is still dead?
      "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices they had prepared, and certain others with them.  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.  And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
      "And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, 'Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen'."  (Luke 24: 1-6)
   If young children see Jesus on the wall as a dead man, what do parents believe? 
     

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE

   It is easier for people to believe in lies than to believe in truth. 
   For this reason, evil always appears as icing on a cake because the minds of people have been blinded to the truth that the cake is devil's food.
   Take Hillary Clinton, for example.
   Millions of Americans see Hillary as icing on a cake because their minds have been blinded to her life of scandals, corruption, and lies.  There is no truth in her because she is the mother of lies in American politics.  Her followers, however, are in love with the icing while not knowing that she is devil's food because their minds are blinded from truth.
      "But if our gospel of Christ be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."  (2nd Corinthians 4: 3-4)
   The gospel of Christ is hidden from people in many ways, chief of which is man's invention of religion, which is the oldest method of programmed mind control on the face of the earth; for religion, at first glance, contains all the evidence of icing on a cake since belief in religion is based on sights and sounds and not by faith and faith alone.
      "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  (Hebrews 11: 1)
   Because Christ is invisible, belief in Him must be by faith; whereas belief in religion can only be achieved by things visible.  Those visible things of religion, however, can be changed, and doctrines can be doctored, but Christ never changes, just as the Word of the Lord, which is the Holy Bible, never changes. 
   Thus, the icing on the cake can be smeared in different ways in order to keep the ears of people from hearing  the Word of the Lord. 
   Therefore, as people keep licking the icing on the cake, the more they like it; and the more they like it, the more they will eat and swallow until they reach the devil's food, thus turning their ears away from hearing the Word of the Lord, which blinds their minds from the truth of Christ---where they will remain in their sins, living in darkness, yet believing they will go to heaven because their blinded minds are stuck in devil's food.
   Jesus said,
      "Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.  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.  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."  (John 8: 43-45)
   To know Christ, push away from the table, come out of religion, and stop feasting on devil's food cake.
