UP IN SMOKE

       "And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."  Jesus of Nazareth, Mark 3: 24-25.


   In the United States, radical extremists have been fueling the flames of racism for a long, long time, convincing people to believe that they are still victims of slavery because of the color of their skin, and the evidence of that lie came alive last night when the city of Ferguson, Missouri went up in smoke.
   At the same, radical extremists have been fueling the flames of gender inequality by convincing women that they are still victims of slavery because their sex as females.
   Racism and gender inequality have been an operation by radical extremists, flying in double-wing formation for a long, long time, seeking to change America's laws to fit their own agendas.
   The protesters in Ferguson did not agree with America's judicial system.  They wanted revenge, not justice.  In truth, all they wanted was a crucifixion, or a hanging by the neck until dead---an eye for an eye, or a death for a death.  And when they did not get their way with our nation's legal system, they reacted as toddlers without parents. 
   Today, Ferguson looks like a city that has been destroyed by terrorists, which is the way cities look all across the Middle East.
   Now, however, let me share three quotations from the mind of Paul Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany, from 1933-1945:
   1.   “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.  The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
  2.   "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play."
  3.   "Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street."
   Now look at what happened to Germany under the leadership of a dictatorship-run state:  Germany became a land of chaos, followed by destruction, thereby leaving the people of Germany in a heap of rubble and ashes because their freedom was stolen from them, and Germany went up in smoke.
   If we will examine human history, we will see that all of man's empires upon the earth have fallen because of internal corruption.  All of them have fallen, and all of them have gone up in smoke.
   Knowing this is true, then we should also believe that the freedom of this nation or any nation will not stand when the house is divided, or when people are divided from people:  when bad people arise at the top and when good people are imprisoned and killed.
   Unless God helps us, then we will also see this once great and powerful nation fall because of internal corruption---to the extent that this nation will one day go up in smoke.
   God, on the other hand, has promised He will help us if we will trust in Him:
      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 will heal their land.  (2nd Chronicles 7: 14)

A FALSE IMAGE

   If people do not believe in the Bible, neither will they believe in Christ.
   To them, Jesus is no more than a ceramic doll under a Christmas tree, a crucifix, or an image of a man's face painted on canvas.
   To them, they do not believe that Jesus is alive and living now, nor will they believe that Christ is coming back to earth.
   To them, Jesus is no more than an image, created in their minds, which appears from time to time in their imaginations, and thus all they have is an imaginary Jesus.
   Unless people believe in the Bible, neither will they believe in the historical evidence of the Bible, nor the stories that are contained therein.  Neither will they believe in the history of the future as we are told in the Bible.
   To them, they will only believe in those things that they have heard about the Bible, and not from their personal experience of reading the Bible for themselves.  Again, what they know about the Bible is all they know from the words of others, which they believe in their imaginations.  In other words, they allow others to make their choices for them as they also allow others to make their decisions for them. 
   Therefore, their image of Christ is false, and their image of the Bible is also false:  for they know no more about the Bible than they know about Christ.
   Believe it or not, but many of the people who believe this way are people in churches, sitting on pews, and participating in all of the activities of a church, and professing themselves to be Christians.
   To them, they value their church memberships.  They value their denomination or their Christian religion.  They take great pride as "charter members", or as "founding fathers" of their community institutions.  They are protective of their corporation as owners and operators.  They like their carpet floors, padded pews, and dangling chandeliers.
   What went wrong in America is the result of people losing their love of God.
   And what has gone wrong in American churches is the result of the people losing their love of God.
   All because the Word of the Lord became less important as people began to exalt self instead of exalting Christ the Lord.
   Because the Word of the Lord became less important, the devil crept into our nation, as the devil has also crept into our churches.
   To better understand this truth in the loss of the love of God today, look at the young people and children all across the land.  Where are they now?  What are they doing?  What do they believe?  And where are they going?
   The answer is clear:  they are chasing false images, which are the same as false gods.
   They are the examples of leadership.
   As parents do, so do the children. 
   As the children do, so will a nation.
   Our nation is now reaping the harvest of the seeds that were sown in our children.
   We are also reaping the harvest of the seeds that were not sown in our children.
                        Be ye followers of God as dear children; (Ephesians 5: 1)

THE POPPY KINGS

   Since 2001, the United States has spent more than $7 billion to fight the Taliban and narcotics trafficking in Afghanistan; but while U.S. military forces have been engaged in battles with the Taliban, Afghan poppy farmers have had their greatest harvest of all-time in 2014.
   According to the United Nations, Afghanistan devotes 500,000 acres of land to the cultivation of poppy as the world's largest producer of opium, and, from 2012-2013, poppy fields expanded by 36%; while in the tiny nation of Myanmar, more than 140,000 acres are devoted to growing and harvesting poppy.  Other nations engaged in the production of opium are also having great harvests.
   All over the world, opium production and consumption steadily increase.  Perhaps we can accurately say, So much for the war on drugs!  Or is the movement of drugs simply beyond the control and elimination of law enforcement agencies worldwide?  Or is it because the "powers that be" do not want the publicity, nor the attention drawn toward trafficking, and they have the power to turn news cameras, reporters and journalists in other directions?  Instead, they have been able to turn the focus of people on television, sports, music, entertainment, and thereby keeping people as bobble head dolls.
   To control empires, opium has been the weapon-of-choice by kings of empires ever since the days of ancient Sumeria, Assyria, Babylon, and Asia, and from Egypt, to Greece, to Rome, then on to Europe and to the United States.  For an easy way to conquer cities and nations is to destroy the minds of the people:  to get them hooked on drugs, then the people will follow the candy wagon because they will always need more, and they will remain obedient to the supply train.
   Kings of poppy have been growers and harvesters of the drug with trade routes all over the world, using people, camels, horses, trains, planes, ships, and automobiles---for its value on streets is greater than gold, and the amount of cash is impossible to trace or even find.  Even today, getting drugs can be as easy as knocking on your neighbor's door.  And with using drugs, the minds of people are being destroyed as well as controlled by evil spells.
   Today, the poppy kings are the people in high places of governments and religions; therefore, do not be deceived by people in their fancy suits and priestly garments.
   As it is written in the Word of the Lord,
      Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all:  for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.  (Revelation 18: 21, 23)
   This word "sorcery" in Revelation is the Greek word, pharmakeia, which is used for the English word, pharmacy, the place for drugs, or potions.  Sorcerers are therefore the great men of the earth, kings and diplomats, or the ministers of drugs to stimulate hallucinations or visions, and religions and governments are the same as pharmacies, or providers of opium in order to get people hooked on drugs all over the world and thereby to control their minds, which enables them to control their will.
   Known by any name, drugs is the devil's potion, straight and uncut from Satan's labs down in the darkness of the abyss, and dispensed through the minds of the poppy kings.



  

A SECRET MAFIA

                          Things that appear are not necessarily as they appear to be.


   Ever since the days of Nimrod at the Tower of Babel, religion has been governed by a secret Mafia, operating behind the walls and from secret meeting places, desiring to conquer the world and to control and dominate the lives of people worldwide.
   For at least two hundred years, the Federal Government of the United States has been governed by a secret Mafia, operating behind the walls and from secret meeting places.
   Indeed, all religions and all governments are governed by this same secret Mafia.  While appearing to be separate and independent agencies, religion and government are, in fact, branches of the same tree.  In unison, they created a worldwide web of deception in order to eventually bring all religions together as one religion and to eventually bring all governments together as one government, with one Godfather ruling over the whole world.
   Here in the United States, the Federal Reserve System appears to be an agency of the Federal Government.  In truth, however, Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE CORPORATION, under the control of thirteen ruling families, operating from their headquarters in London.
   Moreover, the Internal Revenue System appears to be an agency of the Federal Government.  In truth, however, the IRS is also a PRIVATE CORPORATION, under the control of the Federal Reserve's international banking cartel, operating from their headquarters in London.
   Therefore, as PRIVATE CORPORATIONS, the Federal Reserve and the IRS are not part of the U.S. Government, and neither are they subject to the laws of the U.S. Constitution.
   Knowing this, then we should be able to see and understand that the United States was established to become a great and powerful nation by a secret Mafia.  At the same time, this secret Mafia has been working a second plan that would enable them to eventually destroy this once great and powerful empire by stealing our nation's money.
   For the past one hundred years, the Federal Reserve and the IRS have been operating an illegal pipeline to the well of the United States Treasury, through which they have siphoned (stolen!) billions of dollars from the pockets of American tax payers and flushed it down the electronic highway to the international banking cartel in London. 
   But this story does not end here, for this secret Mafia is a partnership of an evil trinity:
                   The District of Columbia, City of London, and Vatican City.
   So now we ask:
      Why does the President of the United States kneel to the Pope?
      Why does the Queen of England kneel to the Pope?
      Why do religious and political leaders worldwide kneel to the Pope?
   The answer should be clear:  the Pope of Rome is the Godfather of a secret Mafia that has been operating for hundreds of years, and with secret armies to police the world!
   On the morning when Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, the Lord said unto His captors:
      This is your hour, and the powers of darkness.  (Luke 22: 53)
   The Word of the Lord also declares:
      For we wrestle not with 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)
   Did not Jesus warn us that these days would come upon the earth?
      For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24: 24)
   Even so, the leaders of governments and religions want people to sit on sofas and pews like bobble head dolls---always smiling, and always in agreement with their twisted tongues, spewing lies and deception, and with all the powers of darkness engulfing their souls:  for they truly are the ministers of the devil.
   Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22: 20)
     

AN INSIDE JOB

   Over the past five years, I have learned that if people willingly lie and cheat on a golf course, among people they know, they will do the same when sit down on the pew among people they know.
    I have also learned that if people willing deceive others on a golf course, they will also try to pull the wool over the eyes of God when they arrive in church. or in a religious institution.
   Over the past five years, I have learned---from playing golf and from knowing God---that the character of people does not change from time to time, from place to place, nor from arena to arena; for people are what they are, and they will remain as they are, until they come clean with God in true repentance and by their acceptance of Christ for their salvation.
  Unless people are willing to come clean with God, they will never come clean with people, for they will remain as they are.
   True change in people happens in the heart, and not in the head.  If the heart goes unchanged, the head will do as the heart desires.
   For this reason, Christ is an inside job---a transformation of the heart.  Therefore when the heart is changed, the head will follow:  and the outward appearance will be a refection of an inner light that shoos away the darkness. 
   God knows us.  We cannot hide from Him.  He knows where we are, and He knows everything we have ever done, no matter if we have done good, and no matter if we have done evil.   And He is willing to forget it all by forgiving it all if we are willing to do this one thing:  kneel to Christ.
  None of us is perfect, or sinless.  Not one of us is able to make ourselves clean enough to be accepted by God.  For it is Christ who cleanses us, scrubs us, and washes away our sins by the power of His amazing grace.
      For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.  (Ephesians 2: 8-9)
   Salvation, therefore, is from grace through faith, and it is the gift a God:  neatly wrapped in the person of Christ, personally delivered to our hearts:  free of charge, and postage paid.
   Your tee time has arrived. 
     

"I BELIEVE"

   Have you ever written "I believe" at the top of a sheet of paper and filled in the blanks?
   Try it.  No one has to read your work because you can keep it in your personal notebook.
   State your convictions; make your case:  as if you are preparing to stand before a judge to testify to those things that you believe to be true as well as to testify to those things that you believe are not true.
   "I believe" is a self-examination, and in so doing you will see yourself in a different light when you read about yourself on paper:  in your own writing and in your own words.

LEGALIZED PEDOPHILIA

   Do not be surprised when the leaders of religions and leaders of governments legalize pedophilia worldwide.  That day is here now---in front of our eyes and in broad daylight!


   According to the Northern Colorado Gazette (July 3, 2011)---"Using the same tactics used by “gay” rights activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals."
   According to Global Research (March 13, 2014)---"Protests Call Iraq's New Family Law  ‘Legalization of Pedophilia’."
   According to rense.com (May 31, 2006)---In The Netherlands, the Dutch Pedophile Political Party wants the legal age for sex with children reduced to 12, saying, "Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage."

   According to GAYSTARNEWS (January 20, 2014)---"Vladimir Putin claims there are countries considering legalizing pedophilia."

   According to The Washington Times (October 2, 2013)---"Iran lawmakers passed a measure — in a bill aimed at protecting the rights of children, no less — that allows for men to marry their adopted daughters, so long as the girls are at least 13 years old."

   According to Wikipedia, there is an organization in the United States called The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)---"It works to abolish age of consent laws criminalizing adult sexual involvement with minors, and campaigns for the release of all men who have been jailed for sexual contacts with minors that did not involve coercion."

   Jesus warned us that this day would come again upon the earth when He said,
      And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.  (Luke 17: 26-30)
   In the days of Noah, the Word of the Lord declares:
      The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.  (Genesis 6: 11-12)
   And in the days of Lot, it is written:
      Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.  But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19: 24-26)
   Pedophilia is the last link in the chain of man's depravity, from which there is no cure under the sun:  for the pedophile sees a child as another fix, just as the drug addict sees another needle.
   Today, we are witnesses to the evidence of pedophilia coming forth out of religious and political institutions, from cities and nations, and these people are proud of their conquests of helpless and defenseless children, who are unable to defend themselves against the power of raging animals.
   Once pedophilia is legalized worldwide, there will be no more laws for the protection of children, and we will watch the destruction of civilization in front of our eyes and in broad daylight. 
   As humane people, however, we have the power to pray to God to do something, just as we also have the power to turn the page, or click delete.

      And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  (Genesis 6: 5)
