I’d like to walk back in time and hopefully, this story will make sense. This story will make it clear that our Leaders and Educators, (minus a small few and they know who they are), have brought America to its knees, but not for long.
I remember being in class in 7th grade and listening to my teacher give a talk on what was happening re: the Vietnam War. He was explaining how strong America is and how those fighting over there are fighting for the freedom we enjoy here in America. To learn about the history of wars from the beginning of time is so important to understand what keeps our country strong.
Now fast forward 20-30 years later we find that through this time:
1. God has been taken out of the schools
2. Slowly but surely our young have been taught to think that the color of their skin is wrong
3. That our young can grow up and change their gender
4. That it’s ok to rip or use suction force to remove a live human being from the womb.
5. That it’s okay to pull down, first by force, then by demand statues of heroes because those that have never fought in a war and probably have been given everything decided these heroes were racist.
6. That it’s okay to show disrespect to anyone who doesn’t agree with your opinion.
7. That getting rid of those men and women who protect and serve every day despite those that don’t deserve to wear the uniform, is okay
8. To allow life to end just because it is no longer worth the effort
Freedom comes at a cost and sacrifice.
Today, our Freedom is being attacked on all sides. In the classrooms, at home, in the media, in our churches, so what do we do? We take a stand on what is right and what has been given to us by God, to take care of our children, our families, and our bodies. To respect life from the beginning of conception.
Looking at Ukraine and the atrocities of the images posted, could that happen here? I feel it could if we don’t start changing things around and get back to what God intended for our world. Those who live by power and abuse human beings, just to stay in power, just to become richer off of others will someday answer to a higher power which at that time it will be too late for them to change.
Little children, the one who Prays is not afraid of the future, and the one who Fast is not afraid of Evil. Only through Prayer and Fasting Wars can be stopped, Wars of unbelief and Fear for the future…🙏🏻
War is a terrible thing. Some wars are more “just” than others, but war is always the result of sin (Romans 3:10-18). At the same time, Ecclesiastes 3:8 declares, “There is…a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.” In a world filled with sin, hatred, and evil war is inevitable. Christians should not desire war, but neither are Christians to oppose the government God has placed in authority over them (Romans 13:1-4; 1 Peter 2:17). The most important thing we can be doing in a time of war is to be praying for godly wisdom for our leaders, praying for the safety of our military, praying for quick resolution to conflicts, and praying for a minimum of casualties among civilians on both sides (Philippians 4:6-7).
Jesus is not a pacifist. In a world filled with evil people, sometimes war is necessary to prevent even greater evil. If Hitler had not been defeated by World War II, how many more millions would have been killed? If the American Civil War had not been fought, how much longer would African-Americans have had to suffer as slaves?
The Bible describes Jesus’ second coming as being exceedingly violent. Revelation 19:11-21 describes the ultimate war with Christ, the conquering commander who judges and makes war “with justice” (v. 11). It’s going to be bloody (v. 13) and gory. The birds will eat the flesh of all those who oppose Him (v. 17-18). He has no compassion upon His enemies, whom He will conquer completely and consign to a “fiery lake of burning sulfur” (v. 20).
I have no doubt if believers truly realized the power of prayer we would be doing much more of it! (along with fasting) It is by those things that we truly get to know the Creator of the universe….who loves us enough to send His Son to die on our behalf. Christians serve a risen Savior who will have the ultimate victory. Our choice now is to seek Him and find Him while He can be found and to live our lives with eternity in mind. Thanks for your writing Lynn.
Life experiences for us “Baby Boomers” definitely provides us with a picture of ever-changing paradigms that have shifted basic beliefs (God, family, country, duty, obligation and responsibly) upside down and inside out Linnie.
God help the clueless and protect the helpless. Sadly, there is no cure for self-imposed stupidity of these inflicted individuals and their mindless-twisted ideologies in this human theater of the absurd.
God help us folks who have front row seating!
