America use to see these things, but it's been awhile, eh!  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I Corinthians 2:10-14

If Americans would just open their King James Bible - the one Book that has been through the smooth & shiny as well as the rough & treacherous waters of American History - the King James Bible most certainly does tell us who our real enemy is!
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

This Book tells us we should fight and also tells us how to fight that enemy!
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Ephesians 6:11,13

This Book tells us where our strength comes from and where the glory & praise should go!
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.   Ephesians 6:10-13
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 4:6b
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.  Psalm 106:8
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Isaiah 40:29

Honestly, folks, we know America has been under attack for quite a while.  It has been a slow and subtle process and unless you were a Bible reader and Bible Believer, you would never ever realize it.  The process of searing our conscience is a slow process - one degree at a time.

We have had our major attacks, wars and difficulties, but it seems that God continues to hear our cry in spite of the problems we continue to be for Him.  Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: Psalm 106:12-14.  Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Psalm 106:44-47.

Now, I am aware that we are reading something written about the Jews in that passage. God has made no covenant with America as a nation.  But we who know true history know all the times over and over God blessed our birth and our growth as a nation that it gave HIM the glory.

But our government is now actually joining hands with other nations who believe and follow other gods and who are actually against the God of the Bible.  We now even have President Bush talking about Allah and calling Islamic people brothers.

As much of a flag waving patriot as I can be, I am concerned that God's wrath is approaching closer and closer to the greatest country that has ever existed in the world.  I am also convinced there is more to all of this than meets the eye!  However, we know that God knows all the 'behind the scenes' stuff and He would protect us from the devil and those perverted earthly cronies of his - IF WE WOULD JUST LET HIM!  GOD knows if our own government had any part in this - GOD knows if the buildings were actually bombed from within - GOD knows if TWA flight 800 was a terrorist activity - GOD knows what is going to happen next in our country and where and to whom!  GOD knows it all and HE could protect us.

But will He this time?  Will He hear our recent cries after all those years of ignoring Him?  Will He hear our cry even if we are not crying directly to Him by His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ?

This Worldwide Ecumenical Movement is stronger than ever before and has now just received a new shot of adrenaline as a result of this "Attack on the World".  Over 60 countries were affected by this latest series of attacks.

God has nothing to do with this movement and neither should we.  Words like from such turn away, withdraw thyself and rebuke them sharply are all commands to His real children from God Himself.  America use to do those things - but now we seem drawn together by these tragedies and by this war on terrorism, which I understand from an American standpoint, that is good - but to become 'part' of a mixed multitude regarding spiritual things?  That is not right in God's eyes!  When compared to the Holy Bible, we see that America is uniting, but it is uniting AGAINST God by all claiming to know God.

Romans 1:16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  America IS ashamed of the gospel of Christ - America follows another gospel, another spirit and many false prophets and other christs.

Romans 1:17: For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. The faith of America and Americans is being based on another Jesus - another spirit - the spirit of the anti-christ.  America is proud of its own righteousness and no longer mentions God's righteousness, which is Jesus Christ.  You know the verses for his claim:  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.  Romans 10:3

Romans 1:18: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; As good becomes evil in this country (Isaiah 5:20), as America's godliness becomes ungodliness and America's righteousness becomes unrighteousness, as darkness hath communion with light, as darkness eventually becomes the light and light becomes darkness, as bitter becomes sweet and sweet becomes bitter, as he that believeth has his part with an infidel, as Christians have concord with the children of the devil and the temple of God has unscriptural agreement with idols of the world, God will someday soon reveal His wrath against it all.  Christians have been unequally yoked together with unbelievers for such a long period of time, it doesn't surprise me when I find out so many of those who think they ARE saved discover they are NOT, if they ever dig into the scriptures instead of the traditions of their church!  Luke 8:12

For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.  For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.  Jeremiah 23:10-12

Romans 1:19: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. But America is not looking to God - America is looking to itself and to the pulpit perverts that tell everyone what they say God wants and what they want to hear.  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word?  who hath marked his word, and heard it?  Jeremiah 23:16-18

Romans 1:20: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
And yet America teaches and supports the religion of evolution in all the schools and colleges.

Romans 1:21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  That is America today!

Romans 1:22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  Amen!

Romans 1:23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.  American people in schools AND churches are being taught that God is just like us and we are just like Him - His words are our words and our words are His words.

Romans 1:24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  And America calls that an 'alternate lifestyle' and is teaching it to be acceptable more and more in the public school system.

Romans 1:25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  America now worships itself more than the Creator, all based on good looking religions from different perversions and Eastern Religions.

Romans 1:26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.  These vile affections are rampant and common in the streets, in the colleges, in the homes and even in many churches and church pulpits in America.  Laws are even being made in America to support these vile affections - these laws are made in direct opposition to the Holy Scriptures!

Romans 1:28: 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; God is giving America over to a reprobate mind - just look at what is happening today - in the good old U.S. of A!

Romans 1:29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32: 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.  That behaviour is everywhere in America today!  They, meaning most Americans, including many self-proclaimed Christians, mock the God of the King James Bible - they mock the Saviour that is preached from the King James Bible - they mock the Spirit of God that is alive and knocking from the King James Bible  - they mock spiritual circumcision and eternal security found only in the King James Bible - they mock the glorious liberty in Christ as found in the King James Bible - they mock sin as preached against in the King James Bible - they mock against you and me because we own, read & and believe the King James Bible to be the inspired and preserved words of God!

When you mock the words of God, you mock God and we all should know that we should remember to Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7

When this attack of terrorism began, some stores actually took down all ammunition and guns from their shelves.  Right!  When we are attacked, it is nice to know that our stores hide all the weapons and ammo we need to fight back.  That was a brilliant move!!!

Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Luke 11:21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

The strength of America in the past has been 1) God & the Bible; & 2) the "Constitution & guns and then 3), the guts of a brave and strong American!

Unfortunately, as America has taken God out of the picture and as the Bible has been changed to a lie, the last thing to go is the gun and we know the status of the guns in America!  Everyday it seems, that they try to make another law against a gun in some form or another.

See the list that is prepared by the NRA that lists the organizations and famous people that are FOR gun-control.  By the way, gun control doesn't mean 'control' - it means 'gun confiscation'!  In fact, while our troops mobilize and our government negotiates with world leaders for their cooperation in this war, the gun-ban lobby in Congress is already at work trying to slip in anti-gun agenda as they sneak in under the security fear they make America believe.

Yes, of course - we must do everything we can to end the threat of terrorism in America, but one of the things we can't do - and shouldn't do - but are being forced to, is put away our guns.  In all actuality, we need to take our guns out of the gun cabinets and make them visible again.

If a criminal, be it a local thief or a religious terrorist knows that he will be up against a gun face to face, he mostly likely would NOT continue with his plan.

America has done fine job of protecting itself within it's own borders for 225 years - why stop now?  This country was founded with a Bible and a gun - it has been kept by a Bible and gun - it can be saved by a Bible and gun!  Maybe there are some folks left knowing the truth - gun shops are announcing sales of guns, ammunition are on the rise since this recent terrorist attack.  An 'alarming' 50% according to one newscaster.  "Alarming"?

A sheriffs department announced that there is a rise in concealed weapons permits - but they also said that the people have a false impression that a gun will prevent them from being attacked.  False impression?  Why do they wear guns?

By the way, can a Christian have a gun?  Luke 22:36,37 "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end

We don't carry swords today, except the spiritual sword - the sword of the spirit - the word of God.  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) II Corinthians 10:3,4. Our war is a spiritual war as Christians - but as Americans, common sense dictates that we have to protect our home and country - and family.  That is our call for today - we must protect the physical as well as the spiritual.

The constitution as a whole has been under attack these recent years.  In fact, a high percentage of Americans don't even want to return to the Constitution as it presently exists. (I have misplaced the source of that poll)

The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.  -- Patrick Henry

And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United STates, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United STates, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievance; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions. -- Samuel Adams

Do the people of America have the guts it takes to go back to the King James Bible?  We must also be the land of the brave.  It would take guts for an American to go back to the King James Bible and back to the God of the universe.  It would take guts for men today to be carrying a Bible and gun.

It would mean throwing out all the ecumenical garbage that they have been led to believe.
It would mean having to deal with their sin - even to the point of coming to repentance.
It would mean having to re-evaluate their spiritual condition, including their salvation.
It would mean having to attend that little church that doesn't appear to have any fun.
It would mean throwing out 99.9% of the music that is played in their home and in their cars.
It would mean submitting themselves to God's righteousness instead of their own.
It would mean reading a Book that was taught to them to be hard to understand.
It would mean learning the archaic words of the past.
It would mean going back to the Constitution of a country designed by God Himself.
It would mean going back to guns.
It would mean going back to the King James Bible.
