CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?

By Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

You may recall in recent times the cell phone commercials where the Verizon man teasingly keeps asking the same question from a variety of locations “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?” We sort of laughed at this predicament because time and again, we found it true in our own dealings with fickle cell phones. Perhaps, this question posed by the Verizon Company should be considered as an honest question as it pertains to Heaven’s Majestic Throne and the Holy One who sits upon it. America, “CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?”

For years, God has raised up faithful men and prophetic ministries to warn America. They have shouted in the public square “cease and desist mutilating babies in the womb through the sin and crime of abortion.
Bloodshed touches bloodshed; it breaks out (Hosea 4:2). You can’t welcome, coddle, and legalize murder in a nation and then not expect a spirit of murder to savage the land. Stop parading your homosexual sin like Sodom in the streets! Homosexuality will destroy those who practice it and a nation that condones it! Cease to do evil, repent, and come back to the God of our fathers and the Biblical principles that blessed our nation beyond any other.” The prophetic message to America could easily be summarized in Isaiah 55:7, which states “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”

In response, our nation for the most part has refused to heed the warnings, hardened its heart, stiffened its neck, and stopped its ears. We continued to turn moral wrongs into civil rights. We codified more evil into law. And as a matter of course, we still tolerate what God deems intolerable. Plus, like Israel of old, we label those who try to steer us from the primrose path to destruction as “Christian Right Fanatics” or as Hosea 9:7 states, “the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad.”

These last few days have pointed out once and again that America is drowning in a sea of blood and perversion. We are inundated with the news reports, talk shows, and other venues of media describing the horrific assaults against the young in our beleaguered nation. Three different school shootings have our nation reeling once again. Not even the Amish are safe as a crazed gunman burst into their schoolhouse and murdered five precious innocent girls and then turned the gun on himself. America, “CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?”

Scandal in our hallowed halls of Congress continues to spew out over the air waves the abominable homosexual agenda that has made a prey of our young as well. Republican Congressman Foley resigned in disgrace as e-mail messages exposing his homosexual seductions of a young page have come to light. The timing of this disgusting affair no doubt points to a political hit job orchestrated by the Democratic Party. It is most certainly designed to hurt Republicans in the November elections. Evidence of his being a homosexual predator had been purposely squelched till now. Someone knew this was going on and refused to reveal it, until it would achieve maximum political damage, thus endangering our young simply for political gain. It stinks the high heavens. Beyond this travesty, however, America’s duplicity and hypocrisy has also reached the heavens. Our collective skirt has been lifted, and yet, we still refuse to blush. America, “CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?”

On the one hand, America celebrates our diversity and upholds the homosexual agenda as patriotic as mom, apple pie, and baseball and then feigns horror that people act it out. A quote by C. S. Lewis will aptly highlight this sordid affair surrounding Representative Foley. He stated, “We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful.”

How long has America laughed and scorned virtue, honor, duty, faith, family, and fidelity? How long have we exalted vice, depravity, perversion, and bloodlust as civil rights? And now we dare throw a political hissy fit because we have to live with what we have so despicably vaunted in the face of a Holy God?

Do not be deceived any longer America, God will not be mocked! What we sow, we shall surely reap! We have sowed bloodshed in the womb and we are reaping bloodshed in our schools, workplaces and streets! We have sought to make straight what God has called crooked in the homosexual agenda and now that filthy, vile spirit is devouring our children! America, “CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?”

Dr. Paul Cameron with the Family Research Institute has documented evidence that homosexuals are ten to twenty times more likely to molest children than heterosexuals. Homosexuals make up about two to three percent of America’s population and yet are responsible for twenty to forty percent of all child molestation cases. NAMBLA or the North America Man-boy Love Association actually marches in homosexual parades throughout America. They chant “sex before eight before it is too late.” They demand removing all barriers between demonically inspired pedophiles and innocent boys. They carry signs, such as, “Liberation of Pedophilia.” It should make one vomit and yet our nation continues to bow before this politically correct idol. It is a monstrosity that mocks, scorns, and trods underfoot everything wholesome, decent, and honorable in our polluted, bloodstained land. America, “CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?”

America, we must face the horrible reality that we are losing our children to violence and perversion. Deuteronomy 28 chronicles the heart wrenching reality of nations that disobey God. It lists the curses and litany of woes that will befall a nation that defies the moral laws of God. Several of them deal with the loss of children, such as, “Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand…Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity (Deuteronomy 28:32,41).” Other passages actually become more terrifying as parents devour their own children just to survive (Deuteronomy 28:57).

Is this not happening in our day? Don’t we devour children through abortion and homosexuality in order for our lusts to survive yet another day to devour? The writing is on the wall and we are still trying to pretend God’s word is not true. We honestly believe that we can murder His babies and allow for the sodomizing of our sons and daughters and then somehow believe we can escape the wrath of God. We are living in a dream world that is swiftly becoming nightmare. Hosea 4:6 declares, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

As Americans we have forgotten the rock from which we have been hewed, the God that established us, and His moral laws that provided the righteous foundation by which we once stood. Yes, and we have certainly forgotten the moral law of God and no doubt God is forgetting our children. The newspapers scream this truth in their headlines. We have sown to the wind and we are certainly reaping the whirlwind. What can we do as we suffer the consequences of our folly, idolatry, and rebellion? Our opening Scripture points the way, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).”

Right now Solemn Assemblies should be called throughout the land based upon Joel 2:15-17 which states, “Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? We are in deep trouble my friends and it is only going to get worse lest we repent.

Beyond our spiritual response, the citizens of America need to say “Enough is enough!” We are not going to have this anymore, not under our watch! We must demand the civil authorities in America move immediately to shut down every abortion mill that slays the preborn for blood money. This is the fount where the murder flows. Whether we like it or not, there is a direct connection between the violence in the womb and the violence manifesting outside the womb. If we want to afford protection for the children we see, we need to afford protection for those we cannot see in the womb of their mothers.

They should also shut down every homosexual bathhouse and refuse to endorse, participate, or condone the homosexual agenda in any form or fashion. No more mayors and police officers marching in their parades. STOP IT!!! Once and for all end this immoral madness! It is an abomination before God and all the media, money, and politics in the world can’t make it otherwise. America, “CAN WE HEAR GOD NOW?”

Besides this, God please remember mercy in the midst of your judgments!

IN KING JESUS’ SERVICE,
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

What shall we say ?

What shall we say when history asks how such crimes came to be committed in the name " In The 'BEST INTEREST' of OUR Children" Will we say that we stood silently by, shrugging our shoulders, filling our bellies, closing our eyes? Or will we be able to say: We saw. We dissented. We resisted. We condemned. For all those who want to open their eyes to the horrors of the illegal kidnapping of OUR children ,and to the brutality, social injustice and moral corruption of the Child Protective Services . Go, see, open your eyes, and let them know -- these torturers, these bloodstained betrayers of our common humanity - let them know that you know what they are, what they have done.

"It Takes a Police State to Raise a Child"

By Doug Newman

In the aftermath of Wednesday's hostage taking and murder-suicide at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado, I can just hear all the gun grabbers proclaiming that it only goes to show that we cannot tolerate guns in -- or anywhere near -- schools. Well, one of their dream billls has just been passed by Congress.

On September 23, World Net Daily reported that the House of Representatives has passed an anti-drug and anti-weapon bill – HR 5295 -- that “would require local districts to develop search policies – including strip searches – with immunity against prosecution for teachers and staff.”

HR 5295 reads in part as follows:

"A search referred to in subsection (a) is a search by a full-time teacher or school official, acting on any reasonable suspicion based on professional experience and judgment, of any minor student on the grounds of any public school, if the search is conducted to ensure that classrooms, school buildings, school property and students remain free from the threat of all weapons, dangerous materials, or illegal narcotics. The measures used to conduct any search must be reasonably related to the search's objectives, without being excessively intrusive in light of the student's age, sex, and the nature of the offense."

Five things came to mind immediately.

STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS: LET TEACHERS CARRY GUNS

By Dr. Patrick Johnston

October 8, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

A drifter walks off the street into a Colorado public school and kidnaps a half a dozen girls before sexually molesting then shooting one of them. Three Wisconsin teenagers are taken into custody for plotting a bomb attack on their school. A teacher is gunned down in Vermont as a man searches angrily from classroom to classroom for his ex-girlfriend. Another student in a rural school shoots his principal. Bam! Bam! Bam! And that’s just the past six weeks in the public school system.

Those “Gun-Free Zone” signs in front of public schools just aren’t catching on. Or are they?

Is it just me or does anybody else see the obvious connection between “gun-free zones” and murder? Harris and Klebold at Columbine High School… John Lee Malvo in Baltimore… Charles McCoy in Columbus, Ohio… United 93… Washington, D.C. – the city with the highest murder rate in the country and the strictest gun control laws. Hmmm… “Gun-free zones” and cold-blooded mass murder – any connection?

"A nation without God is not a nation"
Satan and his mutts know this. Why does not the "Christian" community know this? We have been mentally raped by foolishness. Satan and his have carefully warped The Word in order to make a truth into a lie.
(note how Satan put just a little twist in The Word when Christ Jesus was being tested)
Foundational twists:
We are to obey all governments in all things.
(no matter how evil they may be).
We are to be tolerant.
(Of everything including those things which God hates).
NO!
As children of God, we are not to lie down like cur dogs with our bellies turned upward so that Satan and his miscreant mutts can gore God's children. We are royalty above all earthly royalty and as sons and daughters of God the Father Almighty Creator of heaven and earth (and all that is therein) we are to be noble (pure, unadulterated, without guile) in our conduct. There are times we are to be disobedient and to resist. We are to expose evil in government. We are NOT to be tolerant of that which is in direct opposition to God's Word. For us to be tolerant of the heathen's hatred towards God is NOT ACCEPTABLE. (If they want to hate God, fine, but keep their mouth shut about it or go back to the dung heap from whence they came.) We were told by God to not tolerate these people (those who hate God) in our midst nor to have anything to do with them.
Look at the history of those who founded this country (not necessarily those the "history books tell us to "worship"). The very act of founding this nation was an act of flagrant disobedience.
There is scripture after scripture covering what, when and why to tolerate and there are also even more scripture stating what, when and why we would NOT tolerate.
It all comes down to one word. We are RESPONSIBLE to God in all our thoughts, words and deeds. WE made this stinking filthy mess, now we need to quit asking God to clean up after us and start acting like HIS children, then and only then do we even have a right to ask Him to help US fix the problem.
God's return is very near. There is precious little time to get ourselves aligned with His will. He is all forgiving, but He will not forgive all.

Busted!

By Wayne Harris


Mark Foley got busted! His sins are being exposed to the world. You cannot turn on a news program that is not reporting his transgressions. His political career appears to be over. His name has been shamed. What was hidden in his heart is open for anyone and everyone to see, talk about and judge. He could face criminal charges. He has placed all that he has worked for on the chopping block.

Even though the revelation of Foley’s activities is just now coming to light, this is no revelation to God. God, who knows our deepest thoughts, has known what was in this human’s heart all along. He has seen the lust, rebellion and ways of the sinner all along.

Do not be fooled. God is not fooled. A sinner can sneak around and think that the world is his or her playground. He or she may think that there are no consequences. Think again.

A price tag dangles from sin. Just because we do not look for the tag does not mean that it is not there. Mr. Foley is finding out that what he has been doing in the realm of sin is not free. It costs to play.

This should serve as a lesson for all who think we live in an “anything goes” society. We sow, we reap. The lesson is simple. Nobody escapes this one. What we harvest is based on what we sow. The price is based on the sin.

Are you willing to receive the bill for the sin that controls you?

What would happen if the finger that is pointed at Foley was suddenly pointed at you? What if God decided to tally up the price for sin in your life? How well would you do if what is in your heart was suddenly exposed for all to see?

I remember when all eyes were on a televangelist named Jim Bakker. His sin with Jessica Hahn was exposed for all to see. It was humiliating, humbling and costly. He lost his freedom for a period of time, was divorced by his wife, watched the ministry he worked so to help build crumble and was laughed at by millions.

People felt betrayed. Some felt justified. They had waited years to catch him in his sin. One picture told it all. Jim walked out of the courthouse in chains.

Some preachers began to condemn Jim. Suddenly, to the chagrin of many, some of the preachers who condemned Jim were exposed. Their sins were uncovered for all to see. The day evangelist Jimmy Swaggart’s sins came to light you could almost hear Christians sigh in unison. He no longer had time to talk about Jim Bakker’s sins. He was too busy reading his own bill.

The Catholic Church has not escaped the wages of sin, either. The sin of homosexuality and child molestation has carried a stupendous price tag. Child molesting priests, men entrusted with the sheep of the Catholic Church have been exposed for all to see.

Nobody is exempt. In God’s economy, nobody sins for free. Every one of us receives the bill, sooner or later.

Do not think that sex sin is the only sin that carries a price tag. To cheat people in business will cost you. Providing poor services for good money is sin. Whatever a person makes while cheating others is not enough. The price tag is too high. Do not weigh your product with unjust balances.

Do not think that you can get away with lies, either. God catches every lie. He knows when you cut corners to get a job done. He knows when you do shoddy work. Go home and lean back in your easy chair. Another day of cheating people is over. Or, is it? Remember that the price tag for your sin must be dealt with.

We do not get away with anything. The only hope we have is that Jesus will intervene and pay what we owe. We owe a debt we cannot pay. He paid a debt He did not owe.

We are imperfect sinners. He will forgive us our debts. He is quick to forgive. Give it all to Jesus.

What would happen if Christians didn't vote for the GOP candidate in the next presidential election?

By Teno Groppi

  • Why, we might get a President who supports the homosexual agenda (Bush has named over a dozen admitted sodomites to gov't positions).
  • We might get a President who isn't pro-life (over 7 million abortions on the Bush watch, he funds abortion via Planned Barrenhood and the UN, and he is the first President to spend tax money on embryonic stem cell research).
  • We might get a President who will compromise our gun rights (Bush openly expressed support for Brady Bill waiting periods and semi-auto bans).
  • We might get a President who will allow our borders to be wide open to illegal aliens, or even offer those criminals amnesty.
  • We might get a President who will continue the Clinton agenda on things like the environment and socialist education and health care.
  • We might get a President who will allow UN directives to supersede the U.S. Constitution.
  • We might get a President who ignored Christmas, but celebrates Ramadan and Kwanzaa.
  • We might get a President who prays to the same god as the Muslims.
The good news is:
  • We might force the Republicans to run an actual conservative if they want our votes back.
  • We might get a President that the Republicans in Congress would actually oppose (i.e. they rejected Clinton's attempt to name a homosexual to a gov't position but they rubber-stamp every one of Bush's queer nominees).
  • We've had Republicans in charge of every branch of government for most of my life (I'm 46).
  • If Republicans were the answer, America should be a virtual Eden by now.
That's not to say Democrats are the answer, but they are at least honest about being liberals and socialistic. The GOP has had plenty of chances and there are not enough conservative Republicans to enact their own platform. The "Big Tent" philosophy has done nothing but make the GOP more like the Democrats. If they cannot keep their own party conservative and constitutionally American, how could they possibly bring the country in the right direction?

Here, there, or in the air!

South Dakota Invaded

Post/comment
  • South Dakota has been invaded by Planned Parenthood, Methodists for Abortion and Republicans for Choice/Abortion and more. Millions of dollars are being spent by the above to defeat the S.Dak. Referendum on Nov.7th.Reports by both sides of the moral issue tell of the invasion and propaganda to defeat the Life Amendment. S.Dakotans need help, now.The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today giving more print to the abortion side concludes, " South Dakota has no RESIDENT abortion provider for ten years. Most of its 800 or so annual abortions are performed at a clinic in Sioux Falls by DOCTORS FLYING IN FROM MINNESOTA.
  1. STATE DEPARTMENT ACTS WRONGLY AGAIN- A former US Sec. of State, James Baker III is proposing talking to the terrorists to end their global terrorism. Is he kidding? Another falsism that he proposes is that communist China is actually discouraging communist N. Korea from its nuclear bomb ambitions. Is he kidding? This sounds like the continued non-zigzag policy of the GWB globalist follies.
  2. RINO McCAIN- He was invited to speak at the "Conservative" annual political party rally in England (EU) and appeared on C-span last night. He is pretending to be a conserative-and his words do not match his actions-Since the British are a new audience, they do not know he means not what he says. Too, the new British conservative leader, Cameron -as he talked-appeared not conservative at all but Labor-lite. Sad.
  3. AMSTERDAM,. NETHERLANDS- is reported to be 35% Moslem. This is much like Detroit, Michigan , and its growing Islam population.
  4. BUMPER STICKER- UABC- Un American Broadcasting Company
  5. QUOTES- EMERSON, " God give us good men." -JOHN PAUL JONES, "Father of the American Navy-Rev. War", " I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm's way.
  6. DRUG ABUSE/SCHOOL SHOOTINGS- How many of the children killed at government schools in the last 5 years have been under the influence of harmful drugs? The government nor press will not tell the horrific epidemic of deaths in America due to this condition which betrays moral reasoning.
  7. BIBLE QUOTES:- REVELATION 21:4 - 1ST PETER 4:16
  8. NO LEADERSHIP- Do you miss real leadership in our government as we are stuck with the sissy-man in the US Senate fronting for the GOP, Sen. Frist (Tenn.) and the asleep at the switch incompetent GOP presider over the corrupt US House of Representatives, Rep. Hastert. Of course the Democrats represent no one by the global socialist ambitions of the Islamic terrorists and the communist wannabes in China, Russia, N. Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, as a start. Sad. Where have all the Americans gone?
