from Oswald Chambers

"All my fresh springs shall be in Thee." Psalm 87:7 (P.B.V.)

Our Lord never patches up our natural virtues, He re-makes the whole man on the inside. "Put on the new man," i.e., see that your natural human life puts on the garb that is in keeping with the new life. The life God plants in us develops its own virtues, not the virtues of Adam but of Jesus Christ. Watch how God will wither up your confidence in natural virtues after sanctification, and in any power you have, until you learn to draw your life from the reservoir of the resurrection life of Jesus. Thank God if you are going through a drying-up experience!

The sign that God is at work in us is that He corrupts confidence in the natural virtues, because they are not promises of what we are going to be, but remnants of what God created man to be. We will cling to the natural virtues, while all the time God is trying to get us into contact with the life of Jesus Christ which can never be described in terms of the natural virtues. It is the saddest thing to see people in the service of God depending on that which the grace of God never gave them, depending on what they have by the accident of heredity. God does not build up our natural virtues and transfigure them, because our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants. No natural love, no natural patience, no natural purity can ever come up to His demands. But as we bring every bit of our bodily life into harmony with the new life which God has put in us, He will exhibit in us the virtues that were characteristic of the Lord Jesus.

"And every virtue we possess is His alone."

Mexico: Just over the Border - Christians persecuted

MEXICO: OPPRESSION OF CHRISTIANS PERSISTS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF COUNTRY

Jailings, threats, fines, deprivation of water and electricity – all keep pace with church growth.

MEXICO CITY, November 25 (Compass Direct News) – As the number of evangelical Christians in southern Mexico has grown, hostilities from “traditionalist Catholics” have kept pace, according to published reports.

Especially in indigenous communities in southern Mexico, the prevailing attitude is that only traditionalist Catholics, who blend native rituals with Roman Catholicism, have rights to religious practice, according to news reports. Moreover, the reports indicate the traditionalist Catholic villagers believe they have the right to force others to conform to their religion.

In Oaxaca state, four Christians in Santiago Teotlaxco, Ixtlan de Juarez district, were jailed on Nov. 16 for refusing to participate in a traditionalist Catholic festival and for not paying the high quotas they were assigned to help cover its costs, according to La Voz news agency. Their neighbors, now fewer than the town’s 180 Christian evangelicals, have been trying to force them to practice what the evangelicals regard as idolatrous adoration of saints and other rituals contrary to their faith.

As a result of such pressure, according to the news agency, non-Catholics in the area, including children, live in fear of being expelled from their properties.

In the community of Nachit, municipality of Zinacantan, Chiapas, five indigenous Christians were jailed for 24 hours on Nov. 4 for refusing to accept work assignments related to traditionalist Catholic festivals, according to the National Confraternity of Evangelical Christian Churches.

Local officials ordered them to give up their Christian faith or they would “invent some crimes with which to accuse them and get them imprisoned,” according to Chiapas newspaper Expreso.
Also in Chiapas, Mexico’s southern-most state, local political bosses (caciques) deprived 24 evangelical families of a Seventh-Day Adventist church in Muctavits, municipality of San Andres Larrainzar, of their rights to government social programs, according to news reports. Local officials made the decision on Nov. 3 and a week later said they would fine the Christians 3,000 pesos (US$220) if they refused to contribute funds toward traditionalist Catholic festivals, according to Expreso.

Officials have also threatened to cut off the Christians’ electricity and water, church representative Hortencio Vasquez told La Jornada, and have eliminated all their community rights, thus depriving some evangelicals of their service on local government committees.
Last month local caciques forced evangelical families in the community of Nicolás Ruiz, Chiapas, to sign documents promising to hold religious services only on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday or pay fines of up to 1,000 pesos (US$74) pesos per family. Seven evangelical families had already been expelled from the town for their faith, leaving behind all their possessions and property and taking refuge in the nearby municipality of Acala, reported Cuarto Poder newspaper in Chiapas.

In Guerrero state, two Christian families in Olinala had their drinking water and electricity cut off recently because they refused to participate in local religious customs, La Jornada reported. The families have been under threats to give up their faith since 2006.

“They were threatened with hanging due to their religious beliefs if they did not obey the orders of the municipal authorities,” the National Bar of Christian Lawyers’ Jorge Garcia Jimenez told
the newspaper’s Guerrero edition.

As do traditionalist Catholics elsewhere in Mexico, officials in Olinala cited a constitutional provision protecting local “uses and customs” of communities in order to justify forcing evangelicals to contribute to and participate in the festivals, in violation of Mexico’s constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. Christian lawyers say the “uses and customs” section was meant to prevent the government from prohibiting native practices – not force villagers to participate in them.

The threats and deprivation of basic services in Guerrero came on the heels of the kidnapping of the teenaged son of a prominent evangelical pastor in the same state. The kidnappers apparently rejected the ransom paid by the family as inadequate and have held the boy for two months.

Even in a state as far north as Hidalgo, a longstanding conflict erupted anew this month. After years of hostilities rooted in traditionalist Catholics’ intolerance of evangelical Christians, La Jornada reported, officials in San Nicolás, municipality of Ixmiquilpan, had finally granted a construction permit for Protestants to build a chapel.

But villagers claiming that construction without a town assembly vote violated a previous agreement stopped workers at the building site on Nov. 7. Local officials had to call in state police to forestall a violent confrontation, and no construction has been permitted since then.

Chiapas pastor and attorney Esdras Alonso González said at a press conference this week that cases of intolerance of evangelical Christians – all allowed and encouraged by local officials –also remain in the Zinacantan, Chiapas communities of Nachig, Pasté, Chiquinivalvó, Pestó and Buonchén.

In Pasté, he said, four families remain without water since October 14 for having refused to contribute funds for the traditionalist Catholic festivals, which often also involve drunken revelry.

“The municipal authorities of Zinacantan are not doing anything to resolve the problem,” he told reporters.

SOMALIA: CHRISTIAN AID WORKER BEHEADED FOR CONVERTING FROM ISLAM

Anti-Christian violence spills into Kenya as Somali Muslims attack in Nairobi.

NAIROBI, Kenya, October 27 (Compass Direct News) – Among at least 24 aid workers killed in Somalia this year was one who was beheaded last month specifically for converting from Islam to Christianity, among other charges, according to an eyewitness. Muslim extremists from the al Shabab group fighting the transitional government on Sept. 23 sliced the head off of Mansuur Mohammed, 25, a humanitarian aid worker, before horrified onlookers of Manyafulka village, 10 kilometers (six miles) from Baidoa. The militants had intercepted Mohammed and a driver, who managed to escape, earlier in the morning. Sources close to Mohammed’s family said he converted from Islam to Christianity in 2005. The eyewitness, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said the militants that afternoon gathered the villagers of Manyafulka, telling them that they would prepare a feast for them. Five masked men emerged, carrying guns, wielding Somali swords and dragging the handcuffed Mohammed. One recited the Quran as he proclaimed that Mohammed was a “murtid,” an Arabic term for one who converts from Islam to Christianity. Mohammed remained calm with an expressionless face, never uttering a word, said the eyewitness.

Church As Governmental Agency - Executive Order 13397

EXECUTIVE ORDER 13397 - CHURCH AS GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/03/20060307-5.html

NewsWithViews. com
The separation of church and state - gone with the stroke of a pen. As of March 7, 2006, our nation’s leader signed another Executive Order, which tied the Department of Homeland Security to our leader’s “faith-based” churches. Okay, all you non-profit churches out there – you now serve the federal government’s primary spying agency. That is now your primary function. You are now and officially an organized den of thieves.
I would feel sorry for the pastors, ministers, priests, and rabbis except for the fact that I just can’t and won’t. How stupid and positively corrupt can you possibly be to take money in exchange for manipulating your flocks of idiot sheep to the national slaughter? And will you also spy on your flocks and provide reports to your new master?
In exchange for money, have you agreed to pacify and organize your flocks in the event of a national emergency? You certainly have, for you have been ordered to do so. And have you been ordered to offer your buildings, your resources, and your labor forces called congregations to serve your newly declared administrator?
I try to come up with words to describe how I feel about this Executive Order and the churches that have “partnered” themselves to this system. The words don’t come minus the fact that the church has completely and irreversibly fallen to the lowest and darkest common denominator, which is the total betrayal of the souls of the faithful. I would pray for your forgiveness, but I don’t want to.
Nor do I want to write about this sickening topic. But, I appeal to Christian people to 1) ask your church leaders if they are “faith-based” funded, and 2) to leave those churches and start home-based churches with your friends and family members. Do not support Executive Ordered, Department of Homeland Security churches with your presence or your money. You are being manipulated and reported upon – guaranteed.
You are being told what to do when more “crisis” hits the nation, and will hit the nation, as all is now planned down to our “weather emergencies,” which are providing the training and relocation exercises for the real crisis to come – the one that permanently collapses Constitutional America.
The church needs to regroup and gather in homes, where faith is restored, private, and truth is real. Forget the church leadership. They are padding their pockets and socially re-engineering your mind with think tank religion and crisis management, and they’re getting paid to do so – much like the public schools and mass media.
Raise your churches in your homes. All you need is a Bible – one will do. Save yourselves and your souls and leave your new and improved church buildings,
fancy organs, fundraisers, and colorful windows behind.
As in all Communist countries, the church will survive underground, so to speak, and with genuine prayer. And serve your Constitutional America. Don’t give up on freedom – even as it dissolves before your eyes. Be courageous in truth and gather together in truth.
Again and again, I strongly recommend that you contact A.C.E. – Americans for Constitutional Enforcement – at contactus@a4ce. org- and request their Information Packet. Work to preserve your unalienable rights. There is no other choice but to fall – much like the American church. And please remember that faith-based churches are now governmental agencies – just like public schools, mass media, and mass communications – nothing more and nothing less.
A.C.E. will help you, your family, and your neighbors to learn the truth about today’s America. What you don’t know is allowing for the total destruction of your rights and your individual freedom. What you don’t know is rapidly, rapidly destroying your country. Your continued ignorance is why we are falling. Please contact A.C.E. right now. May God bless the American people.

Faith & forgiveness

1Jn 5:4 KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.

Our faith.

Our faith overcomes the world.

Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

What is faith?


Heb 11:1 KJV Now faith is the substance {essence, assurance} of things hoped {expected, confided} for, the evidence {proof, conviction} of things not seen.


Why is it important that we have faith? Because faith is a reliance upon Christ. It is being persuaded that nothing is impossible with God.


Rom 4:20-22 KJV He {Abraham} staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (21) And being fully persuaded that, what he {God} had promised, he was able also to perform. (22) And therefore it was imputed to him {Abraham} for righteousness.


It is the thing that is going to get us through the trying times… the challenges in life. We live in a physical world where we have learned to touch, taste, see, smell, and hear. Our soul has based itself on and relied upon our physical senses to think and feel. But such a way of living is contrary to living, moving, and having our being in Christ. It is contrary to being led by the Spirit. We cannot continue to be led by our soul ~ our emotions. We have to trust in Christ. We have to trust in the guidance and instruction and the voice of the Holy Spirit.


1Jn 2:27 KJV But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.


The opposite of faith is doubt… unbelief. And unbelief is sin.

The word points out a couple of stories where a person’s faith is what touched Jesus and gave them the answer to their prayer.

The story of the Centurion:


Mat 8:5-13 KJV And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, (6) And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. (7) And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. (8) The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. (9) For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it]. (10) When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. (11) And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. (12) But the children of the kingdom shall be
cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (13) And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.


The answer: Go your way. And as you have believed, so be it done unto thee.

When you ask, what do you believe?

The story of the woman from Canaan:


Mat 15:22-28 KJV And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. (23) But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. (24) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (25) Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. (26) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs. (27) And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. (28) Then Jesus
answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.


The answer: Be it unto thee even as you will.

The story of the friends of the man with palsy:


Mat 9:2 KJV And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.


Jesus saw their faith. He healed the man with the palsy. Healing involves forgiveness of sins. When we are forgiven of our sins, we are also healed.

The story of the woman with the issue of blood:


Mat 9:20-22 KJV And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment: (21) For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. (22) But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.



The answer: Your faith has made you whole.

The story of the two blind men:



Mat 9:27-30 KJV And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on us. (28) And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. (29) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. (30) And their eyes were opened; and Jesus
straitly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].

The answer: According to your faith be it unto you.

Another story of a blind man:

Mar 10:51-52 KJV And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. (52) And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.



The answer: Go your way. Your faith has made you whole.

Do you see how critical faith is?

Are you one who prays & prays & prays, not believing that He’ll answer your prayers?

Faith is a reliance, a trust, in Christ. When we pray – we need to just rest it with Him. We pray one time. We bring it to His attention. Then we let it go & trust in Him. Pray, believing. But it is imperative that when we pray, we have His will. His will be done. It is His will that we are made whole, that we are healed, that we are forgiven of our sins. So these things will be answered.


Do not expect to pray for a new car and get it. I am not encouraging that. It is not scriptural. Always, ALWAYS, read the Word and make sure that your belief, your doctrine, your manner of living… LINES UP WITH THE WORD. For the Word of God is a measuring stick – it is a balance – it is instruction in righteousness – it is a guide. If anything you do, say, or believe is in contradiction to the Word of God – then it is error. Let the Word of God wash your mind – your thinking – and transform it to the mind of Christ. So that you think like the Word thinks. Meditate upon it day & night. Let it be your way of thinking, being, speaking, and doing.

The Christian walk is a lifestyle for a lifetime. It is a way of life. It is a marriage in this sense: “till death do you part.” And yet, even in death, one does not part from this life ~ because Christ continues to dwell with us while e sleep, awaiting the resurrection. This is clearly seen in the story of the men who were burying a dead man and threw him into Elisha’s tomb because they wanted to avoid a band of men. The spirit of the LORD remained in Elisha’s bones which caused the dead man to have life return to his being.


2Ki 13:21 KJV And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band [of men]; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
Christ is our life.


Col 3:4 KJV When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.


I praise the LORD God that He has extended His mercy & grace toward me. Though I am unworthy, He has made me “worthy”. He has decided that I am worthy. How very thankful I am to Him for His love toward me. For I have not been perfect, even in following after Him. Yet, I store in my heart His words so that I can retain my faith. Words such as this:

Psa 37:23-24 KJV The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. (24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.


Pro 24:16 KJV For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.


Such words assure me that He knows we will fall. But we will rise up. I am so very thankful for the Blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses us from all iniquity. We can return to the LORD when we have fallen from the way and repent for our wrongdoing, confessing our sins to Him in a state of brokenness, and He is just and faithful to forgive us. We NEVER have to confess our sins to a man. What man can forgive us? The Word of God tells us to confess our FAULTS one to another:

Jas 5:16 KJV Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.


But it does not tell us to confess our sins to one another. It tells us to confess our sins to Him:

1Jn 1:9 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


It is important that we confess our sins to Him because we need mercy. If we do not have His mercy, then we will have His wrath. We don’t want His wrath. We definitely want His mercy:

Pro 28:13 KJV He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.


To cover one’s sins is to conceal them, keeping them secret. The LORD sees all. There is nothing we can keep hidden from Him. It is best to just open ourselves before Him and then rest in Him to purge them from our being. We should be as David before the Lord. Here are a couple of prayers he prayed:

Psa 32:5 KJV I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.


Psa 51:2-5 KJV Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. (3) For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me. (4) Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest. (5) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.


Remember, it is our faith that overcomes the world.

Are you an overcomer?

"...so help us, God! "

This should make it 'around' until everyone wakes up! SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS ?

A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:

Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. I got an unexpected history lesson Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.

On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:
Yesterday, December 7, 1941-- a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.

One elderly woman read the words aloud:

'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote.. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'

Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'

'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.

Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, Well, it has been over 50 years she's probably forgotten.'

But she had not forgotten. She was right.

I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima .
I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.

But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in 'so help us God.'

The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts

Now I ask: 'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY??????'

Send this around to your friends People need to know before everyone forgets.
People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be..and He always will be!

If you agree, pass this on. If not,
'May God Bless YOU!''Wake up AMERICA, It's Time we TAKE our Country Back'

SCARY FACTS About ISLAM

-Dr. Peter Hammond.

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a
complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military
components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other
components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country
to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies
agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the
other components tend to creep in as well.

Here's how it works.

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in
any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a
peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is
the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities
and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails
and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to
their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for
the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby
securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase
pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves --
along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow
them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the
Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia
law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to
increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their
conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any
non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and
threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed
cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily,
particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad
militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian
churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror
attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of
non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming
Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law
as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some
State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these
nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such
as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic
House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because
everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and
the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states
the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy
their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was
me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my
family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe;
the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. -- Leon
Uris, 'The Haj'

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well
under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority
Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100%
Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national
police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national
courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such
situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.
The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To
even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death.
Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and
extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population.
But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus,

America - A Nation of Empty Souls!

America - A Nation of Empty Souls!

"O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? A land of darkness? Wherefore say my people, we are lords; we will come no more unto thee? Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number."
Jeremiah 2:31-32

"For the Lord hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. The shield of his mighty men is made red; the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings."
Nahum 2:2-4

"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out, and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."
Matthew 12:43-45

In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will once again compare current events with the prophetic Word of God. In doing so we will draw ever closer to the reality that we truly are in the last of the last days. The entire world is in deep trouble, especially the erstwhile great nation of the United States of America. America is a nation that has forgotten the true God for days without number. From the time of its inception, America has always had problems with sin,
idolatry, witchcraft, and secret societies. There was a time, however, when true evangelists cried out through the land and revival fires burned brightly. Society frowned upon homosexuality, gambling, drunkenness, divorce, and other things that have now become an accepted way of life in our country. Religions have become entertainment centers, televangelists have become money extractors, and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ has been long ago forgotten!

What happened in America? In the second portion of Scripture above, we are told of emptiers that came and emptied out Israel. This is precisely what has happened to the United States. The wealth, integrity, character, and greatness of our nation has been emptied out by conspiratorial design. When we look throughout our land and see the empty factories, homes, and commercial buildings, can any thinking person doubt that some clandestine force of darkness has emptied us?

When the prophet Nahum saw the vision and wrote chapter 2:2-4, he also saw what he described as chariots that ran as flaming torches, and as fast as lightning, as they ran into each other and into trees. Was he describing our modern-day automobile? I recently stood on a highway overpass in the state of Washington and watched from above as hundreds of vehicles raced down the freeway at dusk. The high speed and headlights glaring made me wonder how Nahum the prophet would have described this scene. No doubt, he would have written exactly as he did write it.

In Nahum's prophecy in those same verses where he described the automobile as an end time sign, he also told of a red army that would invade after the emptiers had finished their work. The prophet even mentions the red shield. Amazingly, the words for red shield in German are rot schild, which is the meaning of the word Rothschild. When Moses Amschel Bauer took the name Mayer Amschel Rothschild, he did it with a purpose. Rothschild, or Red Shield, and his five sons soon took over the banking systems of all of Europe and subsequently that of the United States. It was this banking dynasty that retained Dr. Adam Weishaupt, who was the son of a rabbi but converted to Roman Catholicism and was a professor of canon law at Ingolstadt University in Bavaria, to form a conspiratorial organization designed to take over the world. That organization was called the Illuminati, and it was designed to hide within the ranks of secret societies; primarily Freemasonry and the lodges of the Grand Orient. Illuminism is now in its final stages as they prepare to enthrone their god Lucifer as the god of the new world order. All of this was prophesied in the Bible, and rest is history. There is so much more to tell.

One more vital point must be made regarding the emptiers that have emptied our land. When something is completely emptied, even of air, it forms a vacuum. When a soul is in this condition, there is a spiritual suction that draws everything into it. This is the very condition of our society today. Our Saviour referred to this fact in the third portion of Scripture above. And so it is that when the Gospel is heard, it drives the devil out. But if it is not accepted and obeyed, there is a spiritual vacuum that draws that devil back, and seven more worse than itself enter and cause a demonic infestation. The Lord Jesus also said this would happen to an entire generation of people. How do the leaders of America dare to declare that God is on our side when we are not on God's side?

The situation is critical, and there is not much time left. Judgment is just ahead and you will be in it. If you are reading this right now, there is still a little time, very little, to call upon the merciful Saviour in true repentance. He will hear you, and you can be genuinely converted by His power. Do it now!

Is it the Eve of Destruction?

It is an election year in the United States, and the entire nation is in turmoil and confusion, just as has been planned by the illuminists. The front-running candidate for President of the United States is now Barack Hussein Obama, according to all of the research polls. Obama mania has been building in a continuous crescendo. I have in front of me a picture that was taken one month ago, and it show Obama on a platform in Oregon with a literal sea of humanity that came out to hear and cheer him. There were approximately 70,000 people at this rally in Portland, Oregon. (1) We know that the Moslem countries are backing Obama, and now he has picked up the full endorsement of Fidel Castro of Cuba. (2) Reports from other countries, especially Africa, reveal that people are amazed that America would consider a Moslem for President.

Will Obama live to become President, and if he does, will he live very long as President? Only God knows the answer to that. We must note, however, that before Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign she defended her decision to stay in the race by implying that something could happen as it did to Bobby Kennedy. (3) We know that Bobby Kennedy was shot on June 5th, 1968, and died the next day on 6-6-68. We must also note that Bobby Kennedy was shot the day after the 13th primary election. (4) Quite obviously, if Obama picked Hillary for Vice President, he would have to watch his back constantly.

Republican candidate John McCain, who is now being referred to as Bush-Lite, recently stated, "It's not too important when the troops return from Iraq." (5) McCain also has said that the war in Iraq could take another one hundred years, and on June 11th, he said, "The war could be won by 13", meaning the year 2013. (6) We are facing troublesome times as the senseless war continues. In the past year, troop stress illness has risen 50%. There were 14,000 new cases of this damaging illness, known as PTSD, in 2007. (7) Like George Bush, John McCain is giving the impression that he is completely out of touch with reality.

We know that the Obama campaign has used messianic themes regarding its candidate. The McCain campaign has done likewise. Georgia Republican party chairwoman Sue Everhart made the following statement on May 17th, 2008: "John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross." She made this statement regarding McCain's suffering as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. (8) I am reminded of I John 2:18 which says, "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." Remember, the name McCain is Gaelic for the son of Cain! How strange it is regarding the presidential election, for no matter who wins, we lose!

Many strange things are happening behind the scenes. We know that President Bush was very close to Pope Benedict XVI during the Pope's recent visit to the United States. Now, President Bush has been traveling throughout Europe to gather support against Iran. President Bush took time out, however, to go to the Vatican for a very special reason. On the 13th day of June, Friday the 13th, Bush and the Pope ascended together to the top of a restored medieval tower overlooking St. Peter's Basilica. As President Bush ascended the tower, he kept repeating over and over to the Pope, "Such an honor, such an honor!" (9) On that same day of Friday the 13th, British newspapers featured stories claiming the likelihood of George Bush following the lead of Tony Blair and converting to Roman Catholicism! The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that heads of state always meet with the pope in the Library of the Apostolic Palace, but President Bush was taken to the 12th century Tower of St. John, reserved only for the Pope's private reflection. (10)

In the United States, our government in Washington, D.C., went through a mysterious eight-day exercise, which began on May 7th, 2008. The test was run by the Department of Homeland Security, and it was a disaster drill that evacuated high government officials from Washington, D.C., to underground facilities in the mountains and caves of Virginia from which they would continue to run the government in the event of any major disaster. (11) Think of it, our great leaders hiding in the rocks of the mountains. It sounds like Revelation 6:15-17, which reads as follows: "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"

Are terrorists operating in the United States? Who are the real terrorists? Is it insider terrorism? On May 26th, 2008, Continental Airlines flight 1544 was startled by a missile heading toward its Boeing 737 airplane, carrying 148 passengers. The aircraft was flying at 5,000 feet eleven miles east of Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas. (12) The missile flew past the cockpit and was described as large with a heavy contrail. Witnesses aboard the aircraft were later warned by the FBI to keep their mouths shut about the incident.

How far away is World War III? On May 30th, 2008, the Financial Times reported, "Iran is on track for a nuclear milestone." The story following this headline reported that Iran now has a huge stockpile of uranium with much faster enrichment in progress. (13) On May 20th, 2008, the Jerusalem Post reported Army Radio had quoted a top official in Jerusalem, claiming that a senior member in the entourage of President Bush stated that Bush and Cheney were of the opinion that military action against Iran is called for. The White House, however, is flatly denying that Bush intends to attack Iran before his Presidency is over. (14)

Certain Signs of a Dying Economy!

The United States of America is a malfunctioning and dying corporation. The economy of our nation is terminal, and all indicators reveal that there is great trouble just ahead. On March 24th, 2008, the Financial Times newspaper reported that in the very near future, houses in America will be worth only 50% of the loans on them. (15) This is changing the entire world of banking. On May 27th, 2008, the Wall Street Journal reported that the well-known and respected
economist Ed Yardeni recently stated, "The Government of Last Resort is working with the Lender of Last Resort to shore up the housing and credit markets to avoid Great Depression II." (16) Economics expert George Soros recently stated, "We are in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the 1930's." (17) The general consensus of many top economists is that there will be a ten-year depression followed by a world war. Current conditions are so very much like 1928-1929, and when the crash came in 1929, amazed, dazed, and disillusioned investors gathered in front of Federal Hall on Wall Street as a stunned nation fell into the hardest times it had ever known. Then ten years later, the horrors of World War II began.

On June 18th, 2008, the Royal Bank of Scotland formally issued a global stock and credit crash alert. The bank advised clients to brace for a "full-fledged crash in global stock and credit markets over the next three months as inflation paralyses the major central banks." The Royal Bank of Scotland's chief credit strategist said, "A very nasty period is soon to be upon us - be prepared!" (18)

Signs of a bankrupt America are everywhere. Our great bridges and freeways are being sold to foreign countries and interests, and now even the treasured New York skyscrapers are being sold to Arab and European countries, who are taking advantage of our weak dollar. The iconic Chrysler and Flatiron skyscrapers, as well and the GM building, are all being sold to overseas investors. (19) It seems that our entire nation is on the auction block, and our prized landmarks are being sold at rummage sale prices.

America and its wealth continue to be dissolved into the global admixture in every way. We have now learned that American food companies are now outsourcing U.S. farms to Mexico. These American companies have forsaken American farm land for Mexican land and cheap labor. There are at least 45,000 acres in Mexico that are under this program, and it is expanding rapidly. (20)

More wealth is moving to Mexico as Ford Motor Company is building a giant manufacturing operation in suburban Mexico City. Ford is renovating two plants and building a new one for the production of its "global car", the Fiesta. Ford is initially spending over three billion dollars on the project. (21)

Another example of what is happening in our country is what has happened to the large agricultural industry of Oregon and Washington. Big Valley Foods of Westchester, Illinois, has notified the cucumber growers of that region that they are no longer needed. The company is also closing the North Portland processing plant, because all of their cucumber pickles will be brought in from India and packaged with the American brand names. Check the back of the labels and see if it says "product of India." (22)

Our traitors in Washington and our nefarious major corporations as well have betrayed the American people and the American way of life. Recently, news commentator Jack Cafferty took a lot of heat for telling it like it is regarding Red China! He said the following: "We continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food, and export jobs to places where you can buy workers for a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." (23)

On May 22nd, the price of crude oil topped $130 per barrel for the first time, and now it is near $140 per barrel. Gasoline at the pump ranges in price from $4 dollars to $5 dollars per gallon. (24) We must remember that these prices are based on when crude oil was $90 dollars per barrel. Without a doubt, gasoline prices will reach $7 dollars per gallon at the pump very soon. The airlines are also suffering as 100,000 people per day are avoiding air trips. (25) There have never been times such as these in America!

Humanity Run Amok!

On May 16th, 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled that "Gay marriage is a right." On Monday, June 16th, the ruling took effect, and countless numbers of California's 92,000 registered same-sex couples began to line up to become "husband and husband" or "wife and wife" and to further insult the Almighty God of Heaven with a perverted form of "Californication. " One lesbian couple, both of whom were 84 years old and had lived together for fifty years, were planning to tie the knot. Many other sodomite couples from states in America were also flocking to California to solemnize their perversions. (26) We have also learned that major schools and universities are now installing "gender-neutral" bathrooms where men or women can both use the same facility. (27) Our Lord Jesus Christ warned us that at the time of His return, it would be as it was in the days of Sodom.

On June 15th, 2008, the London Daily Telegraph reported that two Anglican priests were married in a church wedding. The "Rev." Peter Cowen and the "Rev." David Lord were officially married in the church. (28) We are made to wonder how much worse it can get, and how long the righteous Saviour will allow it to continue before He comes with flaming fire. In II Thessalonians 1:6-10, we read as follows: "Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power: When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."

Controlled Food and Drug Poisoning!

At the end of last year on December 17th, 2007, the United Nations warned that the global food supply is dwindling rapidly. (29) In April 2008, food riots began to break out in Egypt, numerous African countries, Bolivia, Indonesia, and elsewhere around the world. Food rationing became necessary in many countries. Even here in the United States, rice was rationed. (30) Food prices are rising rapidly, and that was before the great flood that recently engulfed much of the Midwest in the United States. The state of Iowa is a disaster area, and nearly the entire corn crop is destroyed. I will comment more on that later. Food prices were already escalating because of high fuel prices; now massive shortages will drive them higher than ever. In addition to that, we frequently have recalls of food because of contamination with E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and other potentially deadly bacteria. This has affected a wide range of foods
including spinach, peanut butter, tomatoes, lettuce, beef, chicken, snack foods, and chocolate. (31) Many millions of pounds of food had to be recalled and destroyed in recent months. Such things were a very rare occurrence a few years ago; now the recalls are frequent. I am reminded of God's warning to Israel if they did not obey Him. It is found in Deuteronomy, chapter 28. Verses 16-20 read as follows:
"Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed
shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and
the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou
goest out. The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all
that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until
thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast
forsaken me."

Another great problem in America is the heavy dependency on prescription drugs, all of which have side effects. People have come to believe in the magic that the drug companies promise, and they never stop to think that their liver and other systems of their body must process the powerful chemicals and extracts in their medicine. Almost two-thirds of women twenty and older are using prescription drugs. One in four teenagers are on at least one prescribed drug.
Fifty-two percent of adult men and 75% of people sixty-five and older are using prescribed medication. We also know that 28% of women and nearly 22% of men take five or more medicines regularly! (32) With all of the drugs being consumed by so many millions of people, why is our nation getting sicker? People have bought a lie that God needs the help of man to produce remedies in laboratories when the truth of the matter is that natural remedies already exist within the realm of natural herbs and whole foods in the creation of God.

One example of what is wrong with the drug industry in America came to light with the use of a blood thinner called heparin. In April 2008, the FDA said that sixty-two people died and over eight hundred had severe allergic reactions after they were given heparin. Almost all heparin is made in Red China in small factories sitting among the vegetable and fruit fields in Red China. Heparin is literally squeezed from pig guts. It is derived from the mucus wrung and washed from pig intestines and other organs. This product is then shipped to the United States, where the biggest distributor of heparin to hospitals is Baxter International Inc. of Deerfield, Illinois. When FDA inspectors finally got around to inspecting the Chinese workshops that produced the extract, they found scratched metal tanks with an unidentified substance sticking to the sides of them. The sad fact is that 40% of all pharmaceuticals and 80% of the chemicals used in drugs are imported, mostly from Red China, India, and Mexico. (33)

Divine Judgment by Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water!

Without question, the extremes of weather in the United States are breaking all records. On May 28th, the Winston-Salem Journal featured a story with the following headline: "Trend of deadly tornadoes puzzles experts." So far this season, there have been 1,191 tornadoes in the United States. These included such massive storms that entire towns were wiped off the face of the earth. In many areas of the Midwest, entire city blocks were destroyed as homes were ripped away to their foundations, and people were killed even as they scrambled to take shelter in their basements. Meteorologists have never seen so many tornadoes that rate in the F-3 to F-4 categories. Iowa and Missouri were especially hard-hit with widespread devastation and twenty-three deaths in one weekend. (34)

During the first weekend in June, my wife and I were in the Seattle and Tacoma area of Washington, where we held services and baptized fifteen precious souls in the saving name of the Lord Jesus Christ. While we were there, horrendous storms struck our home state of Wisconsin, including our home city of Beaver Dam. The flooding was severe, and in the Wisconsin Dells area, the shore near the dam gave way and drained Lake Delton. Dream homes became nightmares of destruction as they were ripped from their foundations and crumbled before the very eyes of the owners. The 267 acre Lake Delton was drained of more than 600 million gallons of water within two hours, leaving nothing but a mud flat. (35)

As we were returning home on the Amtrak train on Monday, June 9th, we ran into trouble as usual. The car we were riding in developed a bad wheel and had to be abandoned at Minot, North Dakota. We were herded into a coach car overnight, and at St. Paul, Minnesota, we were bussed the rest of the way, because railroad tracks were washed out. While going through this, I remembered our trip on Amtrak to Albany, New York, last October. The car we were riding in developed trouble and stopped the train twice in the middle of nowhere. We did make it through, but a train behind us did not and there was an explosion.

After we returned home, a second round of storms hit, and our hometown of Beaver Dam and the entire southern region of Wisconsin were severely flooded. Highways were shut down, and even Interstate 90-94 had two to five feet of water over portions of it and had to be closed. Farm fields were lakes, and in cities there was much structural damage. We at Last Trumpet Ministries suffered no damage at all to our homes or church even though our county was declared a federal disaster area.

Then, more rain came to the south of us, and water from the north moved into Iowa. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was devastated and buried in water. Here let it be noted that Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is one of the largest producers of one of the components for implantable RFID chips, and that industry was flooded out. The dark, filthy water forced 24,000 people to evacuate and flee from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. (36) Nearly the entire state of Iowa was declared a federal disaster area. Vast amounts of crops planted in the fields known as the breadbasket of America were destroyed. Famine and shortages come in many forms, and it is time for people to repent of their wickedness.

In California, there have been many fires raging, (37) as well as other disasters that seem to strike continually. Fires, heavy rains, mudslides, earthquakes, windstorms, and so on are continually rebuking that beautiful but wicked state. The Almighty is making his point and pressing the issue. There is so much more to come.

Nearly four hundred significant earthquakes of magnitude 4 and above have shaken our world within the past thirty days. Red China has still not recovered from the recent quake that left ten million people homeless! I am sure that Almighty God is not pleased with the Olympics that are to be held in Red China. The massive earthquake in Red China, which measured 8 on average of all recording stations, happened 88 days before the Olympics are scheduled to start on 8-8-08 at 8:08 P.M. The number eight is known as the number of new beginning. The present world will soon end and eternity will begin. It is also interesting to note that on June 2nd, 2008, a massive fire swept through Universal Studios at Universal, California. The massive fire was fought by 490 firefighters but swept through and completely destroyed the movie set of "Back to the Future." Thick black smoke rose thousands of feet into the air as "Back to the Future" was destroyed. (38) Is this an ominous reminder that the future of our nation and world is reserved unto the wrath of God? It is time for all people everywhere to repent!

In closing, I want to remind you that your prayer requests are always welcome, and they do receive individual attention by our prayer teams. I also want to thank all of you who support this end time prophetic ministry. I pray you will be blessed exceedingly. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

David J. Meyer
