Billy Graham's Prayer for our Nation

THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God.'

If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything.'

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a try!) One Nation Under God.

This month's Last Trumpet Newsletter will blow your mind. Is it possible we truly are in the end of days? I would rather be prepared than not be. I believe God woke me up just before the S hits the fan.

As I look all around me, I see gluttonous sin engulfed in the lack of repentance where everyone is saying, "I guess we just have to get used to this." No one is standing for God. Everyone is clinging to their churches and hiding from their sins by sitting on the fence because everyone is too.

The road to redemption is narrow - the size of an eye of the needle. The path to damnation is an open gate. I don't think people get it. You have to find the path that you and your sins don't want to go into. This means you have to repent and stop standing on the fence. Standing on the fence is watching allowing sin around you.

And what would that be? It would be watching movies about filth - stories of murder and sex with vulgar language. Would you watch that in the Lord's house on DVD? Standing on the fence is accepting society. Look at your daily routine and count your sins. Are you lying just like your fellow salesperson on the job is? Is that acceptable because you need the income? Are you gambling or drinking (or both) and using the "Jesus Forgives Me" card so it's ok to be filthy?

Just because you believe in Jesus, doesn't give you the right to keep doing what you know is wrong. You are supposed to ask God to help yourself STOP doing it. Drawing closer to the Lord and walking with Him is figuring out how to be Christ-like. Is it becoming of children of God to listen to music about hate? Would Christ's iPod have Marilyn Manson or 50 Cent or Led Zeppelin on shuffle? You know better than that!

The road is narrow. And you ask if me, James, is living Christ-Like? Nope. I suck at this too, but I am recognizing my habits and daily I am getting rid of my sinful ways. I am one day closer to Christ-like than I ever have been.

The path to eternity is almost invisible unless you're looking. If you're leaning on the fence of good and evil, look behind you. Is your past worth it to repeat in sin or do you see a future with God awaiting you with open arms? He is a jealous God. Did you know that when you read magazines or watch movies of famous people, you are essentially worshiping them? Do you think God enjoys it when you read about Mena Suvari, Christina Hendricks or Lorrie Morgan? Do you think God likes the fact that you wish you were in their shoes or wish you were as pretty as them?

Does Satan have you so gripped that society would frown on you if you talked about Jesus publicly? Are you afraid to talk about Jesus in a restaurant for fear of offending someone or worse, fear of confrontation? When was the last time you said, "God Bless You." to someone in a public place in front of other people?

Asking you to wake up isn't going to work, but I will pray for you all in hopes my prayers will help save your soul from eternal damnation. Find that path that leads you to Him. Ask for Jesus in your heart right now before it's too late... Saying you're a Christian is not enough either people. You have to prove to Jesus you want more of Him. He's waiting right now!

I believe America has been taken over by Nazis. I believe that Blackwater will be the SS who will come and remove people like me from our homes and away from my family declaring us as enemy combatants in the name of Terror. Folks, if you read history, we are getting ready for war. Stop paying attention to phony elections and pay attention to what Congress and the White House has done over the past few years. The same thing happen to Germany before Hitler took control.

Naomi Wolfe has written two books about this exact thing and so far is the only whistle blower. MTV even posted commercials to warn us what is about to happen. By the time we all wake up, it will be too late. Just as always, the elite is counting on you to be comfortable at home and in front of the TV. They have been slowly testing us to see what would happen and so far, we have shown no signs of fighting back.

We are now socialists. Under the control of Corporations. Same thing happened to Russia and Italy and Germany. Why not here?

What can we do?

It's too late. All authority of the people has been signed off to the President. But he's going to be removed and replaced you say!? Yes, by the same party who pulls the strings. It doesn't have to be Bush anymore. He did his job to sign over executive privileges to the next President. It's GAME OVER. And it's OUR fault.

Today I stumbled across something that was on my mind. I was struggling with sin and living forever and out of the blue, God pointed me here to this wonderful article: Determining the will of God

Ever since I quit drinking, I am amazed at the crazy and hard to explain miracles that have happened to me. I wish everyone could experience God the way I do.

October 18, 2008

I have a couple of things on my mind. The first thing is - there is a terrible problem in my family. Drugs and alcohol. This time it isn't me. I don't need to say who it is either. I remember when I was drowning in that pool of hate, violence, shame and pity. I remember when I wanted everyone to feel sorry for me and how pathetic I was taking people for granted to get what I wanted. I hurt so many people and never even realized it a year after being sober. My brain was damaged so bad that I now am finally remembering how I was.

I remember waking up the next day feeling so torn inside about all the things I said drunk and high yet I couldn't really remember any of it. I would get calls from people telling me how crazy I was and how it's amazing I am not even dead. It's sad that the same thing is happening to a loved one in the family. Denial is powerful. The ego is unforgivable.

The other thing on my mind is Rob Bell below. A Christian friend of mine pointed out that this guy below is canceling out repenting. He is also claiming that we did evolve from cavemen. My friend sent me some youtube videos pointing out that some Christians are angry with Rob Bell. It got me to think. My father in law recommended this guy below and I really learned a lot from watching Rob Bell. I have been torn about this however.

See, the bible says Jesus died for our sins and swiped the plate clean if you believe in Him. It also says you have to repent your sins. This means you have to truly feel bad about your sins. And what are those?

Well, this is what people believe, "...We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven..."

Let's examine the 10 commandments and see if all we need to believe that Jesus is Lord or repent or both in order to live forever.

1.) You shall have no other gods before me.

Is it possible to make up your own Jesus? I think so. It's possible to hear what others say and thus believe in the wrong thing. Therefore let's say you sin knowing you are sinning expecting to be forgiven because you believe in Jesus, therefore all is well. That would be believing in the wrong Jesus. He may say he never knew you. Shouldn't we figure this one out? I lied today. I am a liar. I knew I lied after it came out but did not stop myself. Does that happen to you? Did I repent my sin? I said I was sorry. But is sorry good enough? Sure, God might listen to our lawyer Jesus but he still will punish us for breaking his commandments.

2.) You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Could this mean the picture of Jesus? Or a statue of Jesus? Should we not create any pictures of Jesus or God because we truly do not know what He looks like anyways? I broke this commandment by having a picture of Jesus on this website (to the left).

3.) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

Man, I can't tell you how many times I have yelled out JESUS CHRIST! Or GOD DAMNIT! There aren't even stars. We can clearly see that I will not be forgiven for this sin. I am going to burn in the lake of fire according to this commandment.

4.) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

The Catholics screwed this one all up. From what I have read, they started Church on Sundays. The Calendar week starts Sunday. So Sunday is really Monday. Saturday is the last day of the week. Go look at your calendars. So clearly, when I work Saturdays, I have sinned big time and I always work on Saturdays. Do you?

5.) Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

According to my brother, I definitely screwed this one up too.

6.) You shall not murder.

The one thing I haven't done.

7.) You shall not commit adultery.

The second thing I haven't done. But Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust, in your heart you have committed adultery. I bit the dust on that one.

8.) You shall not steal.

Guilty.

9.) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

This means have you ever talked about someone behind their backs and lied about them. Or in court, you lied for or against someone. According to my brother, I do this all the time.

10.) You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s."

This is looking at what someone has and wanting it or just down right taking it. This is greed too. Ever see a car someone owned and just wanted it? Same thing. It is longing for anything that someone has and you don't. We all are guilty of this. Especially in America's consumer role where we are taught by every commercial to buy buy buy everything and save nothing. We buy so much crap at our house I can't even fathom why... And one more thing... Ever want to be an actor or famous? Same thing...

I have broke every commandment but murder. But if all sins are viewed the same and Jesus said if you think of adultery in your heart you are doing the same thing, then I am guilty of all commandments. Haven't YOU wanted to kill someone?

Ok, so we have Jesus, here. He died for all the above. He became our lawyer. He goes before our Creator and represents us. He tells God all of what you did and why. He explains what to God what you were thinking and how you came to the conclusion to sin that day. He talks to you and finds out why you continue to do what you do. He counsels you and helps you understand what to say when you're in court before God. But you have to hire Him. And in order to hire Him, you have to believe He exists. He has to find out if you truly are sorry for your sins. He can't represent you if you cannot talk to Him. Any lawyer who doesn't have communication with their client cannot win a case. And by communicating with Jesus, you have to repent to Him and apologize along with truly feeling sorry for what you did.

You have to tell Him the truth. So if you are repeating your sins and know that you are repeating your sins, the only one that can steer you in the right direction is Jesus. Obviously, if you sin without any or some remorse, your Lawyer is going to be angry with you and lose confidence in you unless He understands your situation. So repenting isn't saying you're sorry. You can say you're sorry to your lawyer all day long. You have to make sure your Lawyer believes you and if you don't believe it yourself, how can Jesus?

So I guess I answered my own question. As a sinner, I need ask the right questions when I pray. My first question would be, "How do I learn not to sin as much to eventually not sin at all Lord?" Or, "Lord, I sin daily. How do I learn not to?" And if that doesn't work, say what Jesus said about his fear of execution. "Father, take this cup from me."

Life changing video. Must buy this. My Father in law let me borrow this and I watched it TWICE in a row. Kid you not!

October, 10

I read this article about the economy and I emailed the writer and low and behold he responded. First, read this.

It is far greater likely that our creditors will make war against us.
America and Britain will be blamed for this financial collapse and their creditors will seek vengeance.

Oct 10th, 2008 (read this blog here - this makes sense - James)

I must admit that I have always wondered about the reason(s) the US had when it used all of that military power in the last war, which caused Iraq to return to the Stone Age. I also wondered about why the US had to build the two biggest military bases in the world there, when it had bases pretty much everywhere in that region.

I wondered about these things, not because I am naive and I do not know how ruthless the US is, I wondered because it is obvious that there were many ways the US could have used to take control of Iraq without using this tremendous force and this degree of destruction and it chose this way. Now I believe, I know why it all happened the way it did.

The US, being the sole super power, is also the only country in the world that if it wants, it could print as many Dollars as it wants without thinking twice about it. It will also hear no complaints about it from any country, nor will it worry that people will stop using that green back because it’s not backed by Gold. On the contrary, even with the introduction of the Euro, the US made sure that the Dollar is the only currency to be used, if one (and who doesn’t want to) to do business with the US or be on the US’s good side. The US made it clear that the Dollar is backed by the strength of the US , and to insure that, it had to physically control the oil fields, and the countries and leaders of these oil producing countries. The many attempts by many countries to switch to using anything other than the Dollars to buy and sell Oil did not materialize. Saddam’s threats to do that helped the US to put an end to it at once. The US had to do something to stop these attempts from reoccurring, and that is why it decided to go to Iraq and use that unbelievable force, not only to destroy Iraq, but to show the whole world, and especially its allies the Europeans, and also the Chinese, that any other attempt to disregard the Dollar will be costly to all. Saddam’s faith was a clear message to the oil rich Arab Gulf leaders. The destruction of Iraq was the "Gold" that backed the Dollar.

The US also wanted to make sure that these Allies and the Chinese will pay for their stupid attempts to sabotage and challenge the sole super power by bankrupting them for years to come, and by achieving this goal it will be almost sure that no word will be heard from them for a long time.

So the US had to go to work, it had to tailor a plan that will drain these countries and keep them busy dealing with their misfortunes. And for about three years, with the help of the sophisticated media outlets and the shrewdness of this (stupid) White House occupant, coupled with the huge appetite of the capitalist system to make more money and more of it, the US in an unbelievable ease, drew everyone who had a Dollar to invest, to buying a part of the US . And before anyone knew it, the whole world (except for Japan, because it learned from earlier experience) was holding almost worthless (a 10th of what it cost them a couple of years back) notes of US investments. These countries took the bait, and the price the US had to pay for this was few capitalist companies that will be consumed by other leaner and bigger ones. And with the help of the US and its Dollars, these companies will buy back from these foreign investors these very cheap notes. Just like the way the capitalist system works.

It is now obvious that the US will bail its banks, and it will bail them by printing more Dollars, one thing the rest of the world cannot do. It is also obvious that the US will bring back confidence to its main street (a lubricant the capitalist system needs for its machine to continue producing and surviving) another thing, the rest of the world cannot do or afford to do. The US causalities of this plan will soon be forgotten and the survivors will reap the benefits of the strength and ruthless of (this) Capitalist System that will continue to survive until it is faced with an enemy that will not be intimidated by its strength and will not be fooled by its shrewdness and will find a way acceptable to print money and used it as a weapon without any meaningful objection from the world community. And it looks that it’s going to be a while before we get there.
