"Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:17

I plead with you now, you who are troubled about our nation, to hear what God is saying. Not me, not Obama and not Rush Limbaugh.

Hebrews 4:12 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)  

See, the Word of God is alive! It is at work and is sharper than any double-edged sword — it cuts right through to where soul meets spirit and joints meet marrow, and it is quick to judge the inner reflections and attitudes of the heart.

For 12 years now I have been disabled with nothing better to do than study God's word, seek out His prophets, and commune with Him. I have not done this in every waking moment, many too many hours and days have slipped away in lesser pursuits, and I have sinned much in them. Nevertheless, God has forgiven me and taught me. He can teach you too!

Hebrews 11:6 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)  

And without trusting, it is impossible to be well pleasing to God, because whoever approaches him must trust that he does exist and that he becomes a Rewarder to those who seek him out. 

God did not send Jesus the first time to establish an earthly Kingdom. He came to seek and save that which was lost and begin to build His church.

If you dig into God's word and leave behind the presuppositions of those with political agendas for this mortal life, you will understand that Jesus came so that we would have peace from heaven, not from the barrel of a gun, not even from the success of a democratic republic or a national constitution! Swords are not the end! They outdated today, they are not presently God's Way for warring against His and His churches enemies!

The ultimate war is the war against the lie of satan which deceives people and keeps them from being saved in Jesus! God wants all men to be saved! Satan and his lie, and those who speak his lie are keeping those who believe his lie on a fast track to hell!

2 Peter 3:9Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient with you; for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins.

Don't confuse the high emotion of patriotism for the will of God! Don't think God needs America to be free to accomplish His purposes. Don't think He needs America to be strong. God defeated satan for you who are saved (and you who will yet be saved) by sending His Son in weak and mortal HUMAN flesh to die an ignominious and UNDEFENDED death on the cross!  

Luke 22

36 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.37 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.38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

Matthew 26

51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 New Living Translation (NLT) 3 We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. 6 And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient.

God does say through Joel :

Joel 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

But do you know to whom He is speaking ??????????

Isaiah 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords intoplowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Micah 4:3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords intoplowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Ephesians 6  ~  New Living Translation (NLT)

The Whole Armor of God

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

19 And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. 20 I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.

black and white hypocrisy: a Satanic agenda, and communist's delight

Sequestration? Put it on Steriods... PLEASE !!!!

Sequestration is now being used as an EXCUSE by the Commander in Chief to weaken our military. What a sad state of affairs. A nation once so free and able is being disabled by the most nearsighted legislative inflexibility... it make one shudder. If five nuclear warships are gathered in one Navy Yard, surely (100 +435+9+1=) 545 NUCLEAR NARCISSISTS are often found gathered in the ONE Politically Correct Yard inside the Wash. D.C. beltway. There may seem to be two sides in the US government, but the insane egotism of them all makes for ONE BIG INEFFECTIVE INEFFICIENT CORRUPT MESS. 

Instead of each man and woman in DC doing what they want, why don't they simply try to find out what WORKS and do that? I'll tell you why. It is because or past and lingering prosperity has corrupted our sense of need. We all need very much to do the right thing as individuals and as a nation. But we are some intoxicated on (still cheap) oil ($10/gallon gas is not uncommon in many other nations), by still cheap food, by an abundance of cheap (and immoral) entertainments, cheap (and expensive) prescription drugs, cheap alcohol, readily available cheap (and expensive) street drugs... Modern living (or post modern or what ever kind of living you want) is easy in the USA. The poorest here have 20 to 30 times the income of those in real poverty, those living on one to two dollars a day. 

My prayer is that sequestration not end, but that in the future the military be excluded from it's reach. Let the entitlements and the pork be touched deeply. Entitlements are pork. Let them receive the same budgetary increases that Supplemental Security Insurance recipients receive, or better yet just cut all increases for 5, or even 10 years. Entitlements, the very thing designed to win the war on poverty have simply ballooned into the poverty of a 16 trillion dollar national debt. Unless some seriously concerted effort comes forth from Wash DC, our children will be in the poor house of debts for many generations. 

And let it be taught in every classroom and preached from every pulpit, borrowing is not funding. Borrowing is the privilege of those who have good credit. The credit rating of the USA has never really taken the hit it should take. Reality says that we can in no way be 16 trillion dollars in debt, most of which is unfunded deficit spending, and borrowing simply to pay the interest on our debt and have any kind of "A" rating with any credit bureau. Frankly, if the Mafia held OUR national debt they would have broken Uncle Sam's legs some time ago. 

And this is all from a secular point of view! When God is factored in, we ought to be on our knees before Him pleading for divine favor to extract ourselves from the prison of bankruptcy which may engulf us at any time! 

Money is at best a tool, and the worst an idol. Will we use it as a tool for good? Or will we  suffer from the insanity of the pursuit of more?  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 1 Timothy 6:9-11

Melodramatic Beck on SERIOUS Amrican Issues and what really matters!

http://mobile.wnd.com/2013/03/glenn-beck-ive-lost-faith-time-to-surrender/#comment-822013927

If Beck and others were as passionate about Jesus, many people would be saved from everlasting hell. Political rights are negotiable from country to country, and even in America. But to be saved for everlasting life Jesus, the Divine Son of God says: "You MUST be born again." The "gospel" of Glen Beck will do nothing to for you. It is the Gospel of God in the Messiah and faith in HIM that saves. What Beck advocated at the end of this film clip mentions God, but beck is a MORMON, and Mormons do not preach the Word of God, they preach the words of Joseph Smith.

What is stunning is the history of Mormonism whose history is remarkably like the collectivist movements he criticizes in this clip!

Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, even Michael Savage... ALL are fundamentally entertainers. I have heard Limbaugh and Savage admit it on air! They are making a living. (Ronald Reagan at least ran for office.) They are fiddlers fiddling while Rome burns. They are leading the right wing sheeple as much as the left leads the left wing sheeple and the great dialectic rolls on over them all. They ONLY way to break the strangle hold of the devil is by believing and receiving Jesus the Messiah, Lord and Savior of Israel.

While these entertainers make an outrageously luxurious living off your faith in the false god of conservatism, the Truth of the Gospel of God passes in their media as unworthy of mention, and the Name of Jesus, and the gospel too. God gets mention frequently so that you and I can be comforted somehow that we are on the RIGHT (THE POLITICALLY CORRECT) SIDE. There are many on the left who similarly invoke "God" also, and also fail to IDENTIFY Him, for the same reason, to be comforted that they on the LEFT are on the POLITICALLY CORRECT SIDE.

Heaven will not be gained by being on the "right" or "left" side of the political spectrum. Heaven's King is won by faith in Him, and Heaven's King IS Jesus the Messiah!

Thousands if not millions of christians have been slaughtered by tyrants since the times of Christ. The first of them were Jewish! Their political views did not save them from being murdered, and could not have! They were murdered because they had faith in God the Messiah and would not recant faith in the Messiah >>>===> Jesus! The issue of denying ones faith is not something we think about much today. We think instead that because we are politically correct we will lead the nation onward to some conservative or collective utopia. And all the while the Lord moves inexorably onward fulfilling prophecy that NOWHERE mentions the USA!

READ your Bible. Keep your eyes ON ISRAEL. Keep YOUR MIND on the Lord Jesus. Have the faith OF God. When you pass from this life to the next, political correctness will not be what God requires of you. God requires faith in Him, a faith causes YOU to ACTIVELY love what He loves, do as He does and to do so humbly WITH Him. (Beck's faith and practice is via Joseph Smith and that is not the name of Him who saves).

Micah 6:8
The Message (MSG)
8 But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do,
what God is looking for in men and women.
It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love,
And don’t take yourself too seriously—
take God seriously.

John 3
1 Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader, an authority) among the Jews,
2 Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles—and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him.

3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother’s womb again and be born?

5 Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.
6 What is born of [from] the flesh is flesh [of the physical is physical]; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not [do not be surprised, astonished] at My telling you, You must all be born anew (from above).
8 The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered by asking, How can all this be possible?

10 Jesus replied, Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet do not know nor understand these things? [Are they strange to you?]
11 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, We speak only of what we know [we know absolutely what we are talking about]; we have actually seen what we are testifying to [we were eyewitnesses of it]. And still you do not receive our testimony [you reject and refuse our evidence—that of Myself and of all those who are born of the Spirit].
12 If I have told you of things that happen right here on the earth and yet none of you believes Me, how can you believe (trust Me, adhere to Me, rely on Me) if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven, but there is One Who has come down from heaven—the Son of Man [Himself],Who is (dwells, has His home) in heaven.
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross],
15 In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!

16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]
19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather thanand more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil.

20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Lightbut shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed andreproved.
21 But he who practices truth [who does what is right] comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence upon Him].

Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; [the Lord] sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation which keeps her faith and her troth [with God] may enter in.
3 You will guard him andkeep him in perfect andconstant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, andhopes confidently in You.
4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

5 For He has brought down the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city; He lays it low, lays it low to the ground; He brings it even to the dust.
6 The foot has trampled it down—even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the [consistently] righteous (those living in moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relationship of their lives) is level andstraight; You, O [Lord], Who are upright, direct aright and make level the path of the [uncompromisingly] justand righteous.

8 Yes, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord, we wait [expectantly] for You; our heartfelt desire is for Your name and for the remembrance of You.
9 My soul yearns for You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly; for [only] when Your judgments are in the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).

22-YEAR-OLD WINS AWARD FOR FILM ON SAVING BABIES Stunning speech: 'I promise in the fear of God, I will steward this investment'

Stunning speech: 'I promise in the fear of God, I will steward this investment'

Ivie accepted the award, along with a check for $101,000 by demonstrating humility.

“I deified movies for 21 years of my life, and I made them my god, and it failed me,” he said. “I’m done with that story. I’m done with that idol. And I promise in the fear of God that I will steward this investment, because I would rather tell the plainest truth with $100,000 than the most sophisticated technological lie with 10 million dollars or 100 hundred million dollars.”

Moi? 4 president, MOI ?!!!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/108183335995364/

..Moi? 4 president, MOI ?!!!.. 

It's over now until 2016. When I think about this FB group, "David B Severy for President 2016," (https://www.facebook.com/groups/108183335995364/) 
the more I want to be president. Not because I'm qualified by my past but because I understand my future. There has not been, to my knowledge, a christian president unaffiliated with a christian "denomination" and unaffiliated with a political party. I'm quite willing to be the first. My platform will be, as it is today, THIS: 

1)Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

2) Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

3) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 

4) For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love.

I have rarely met anyone who agrees 100% with everything I say or write. One wit said of himself that by the time he got finished what he was speaking he didn't agree with himself anymore! Thankfully we do grow and with God as our guide the truth opens to us and we are made mature. 

What can be discouraging to any honest man or woman is the corruption in government, in Wash. D.C. and in most every state capitol. I believe that being a christian can keep one from corruption. Why are some in Washington who profess Christ so corrupt? I'm persuaded that it is because we have sent them there not for the purpose of establishing fair government, we send them there to compete for government business, government contracts, government jobs, and government pork. The reason this competition is possible is largely because the federal government has usurped many rights and functions that the constitution grants to the individual states. 

The Federal Government has placed tax burdens on the states which require the states send their congressmen to Washington D.C. to recoup the tax revenues usurped from their people! Fighting over money is 99.99% always a painful self defeating battle! 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+tim+6%3A9-11&version=KJV 

America could function quite well without dozens of agencies, several cabinet posts and a ton of federal regulation. It is simple greed at the federal level that has legislatively usurped states rights and citizens tax dollars, centralizing power in ways that cripple freedom. It has been said that the entire world could be fed, that no one would be hungry if only the wars which are being fought would cease. The war of words, of truth and the lie for votes, for the power of elected office in America in similar fashion impedes the just, and unbiased administration of the federal government.

Why do we suffer corruption and the inequities that result? I think we need to look far ahead to a day when we depart from this life. We need to ask ourselves: is the stress of "dog eat dog" competition for "bones" that cannot keep me from the grave worth becoming a callous, stingy man or woman? What am I trying to prove by being richer than thou? Greed IS a problem in America. 

I believe everyone ought to be free to become as rich as they please, but not at the expense of other people. Criminal greed does accomplish great storehouses of ill gotten gain. These storehouses them become the targets of jealous poor who gather together against the criminal rich to "redistribute" wealth. The fact is that there is an abundance for everyone where crime and greed are shunned. What is necessary for that to happen? That I consider your welfare:

(1) equally important or 

(2) more important that yours. 

It is the christian principle of life. 

(1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you which makes your well being equal to mine. 

(2) And No greater love has anyone for his/her friend than to lay down their life for them. This says your well being is more important to me than my own. 

It is not widely known but some say that if it were not for war, the world could be fed, starving peoples could be fed, famine could be overcome and the world could support even a greater population than it's present 7 billion+ !!! Overpopulation is not the problem. The problem is human greed which sustains inequities among peoples and nations!

God gives each of us this life as a test. Will we learn that God IS Love? Will we learn that Love is not selfish, but that Love gives and gives and gives and gives... ?

Jesus didn't want anyone to sin against Him, and He didn't sin against anyone! He also counted our lives more important then the defense of His own. And in the mystery of Divine life He was crucified! 

Maybe the knowledge and experience a president needs is not that complicated?

Acts 20:35

King James Version (KJV)

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
