On My Mind: Saving America

"O beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved,

And mercy more than life!

America! America!

May God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness

And every gain divine!"

2018 MID-TERM ELECTION ABOUT-FACE

What happened last week goes far beyond the over-used labels of 

"red vs. blue" and "Republican vs. Democrat".

President Trump's "America First" policies have and are being

trammeled on by members of both the Senate and the House of Representatives,

who are in league with the globalist agenda to see the long-in-planning

One World Government come to fruition.

Before the election of 2016, our country was basically on life support.

We had been literally "set up" after eight years of leadership by the self-

professed, "Citizen of the World" Barack Obama, with Hillary Clinton

poised to be the proverbial nail in the coffin...and then, along came Donald Trump,

an ordinary, yet highly successful business man whose been determine

to "Make America Great Again".

 The international globalist entities working behind-the-scenes

with members of the Deep State in Washington DC, 
as well as their many bought and paid for minions in both houses

  of our national government, after recovering from their

profound shock by the 2016 election results, have been determine 
from Day One to impede Trump's vastly under reported

 progress-courtesy of the duplicitous mainstream media- every

 step of the way.  Many of the American people do not realize what

is at stake here and are listening to members of the news media who

  seem to have been paid to look the other way and to deliberately mislead 
 their listeners with an ongoing and often vicious campaign of distraction,
which our beleaguered President calls, "fake news reports" and rightly so!

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party is already gearing up to repeal

the gains which President Trump has made for the American people,
not to mention launching a slew of time-consuming and costly

 (meaning you, the tax payer will ultimately foot the bill)
 "investigations" of our current leader, which will also provide

 ample cover for their true intentions, which is to transform 

our nation from a free-market Constitutional Republic where all
citizens are guaranteed rights and freedoms, into an oppressive,
 third-world like, free-for-all,  Socialist nightmare,
where the US Constitution, as it was originally written
and implemented by our founders, will be rendered null and void,
and the dictates of government will control every individual life
from the cradle-to-the-grave, with absolutely no wiggle room
 for personal liberty and expression.

In 1949, British writer George Orwell warned his generation

 about the evils of Communism in his best-selling novel, "1984" .

I read his book when I was sixteen and in my second year of

high school in 1980.  What he wrote about seemed frightening, and yet,

since I lived in free America, in my youthful exuberance I rationalized

that such a repressive, tyrannical government system, where

"Big Brother is watching you" could never happen here. Or, if

it did, it was because the people involved were criminals,

or political radicals trying to attack the government.

Although I was a witness to atrocious acts of international

terrorism through my growing up years in the 70's and 80's

-the horror of the Munich Olympics, the numerous

 hijackings of commercial airliners, the taking of the

American hostages in Iran, and other places in the Middle East-

I never thought that here in powerful, freedom-loving, safe America

these things could ever happen.  Little did I know then that my naive

illusion of security would be ultimately shattered forever by the terrible

events which took place here on the morning of September 11, 2001.

However, Islamic terrorism is not the only threat to the life,

liberty, and pursuit of happiness and individual freedom facing

Americans today.  Many of our greatest enemies are a lot closer to home,

seated within the unhallowed halls of power in Washington DC.

In the wake of the mid-term elections, what President Trump needs to focus

on now is keeping America from joining the globalist-applauded USMCA,

or the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

We the People do not want America to be part of any "union" which will

seek to undermine the rights and freedoms granted to us by our founding fathers

through the US Constitution,  or that will subject American citizens to the judgments

of foreign court systems, including Sharia, or Islamic law,  or, what will 

ultimately erode our sovereignty as a free and independent nation.

( For example" The proposed "open borders" policies of the Democrats

and Socialists who have won seats in the government in this past election.)

ONLY GOD IN HIS EVERLASTING GOODNESS 

AND MERCY IS THE ANSWER...

In response to recent comments made by CNN commentator,

Chris Cuomo, who in the wake of the recent terrible gun tragedy in California

posed the question, "And prayer? You think leaving it to God is the answer?"

Yes, Mr. Cuomo, God is the answer. 

Only the humble and contrite hearts of the people,

turned back to Him for forgiveness and mercy of our grievous

 national sins, will both save and restore America.

Our national foundation was built on the ROCK OF AGES.

 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I am not just talking about our Founding Fathers, who used the Bible

as their inspiration in the forming of our national government, but,

of the weary Christian refugees who landed here in April, 1607, 

 near what is today Cape Henry, Virginia.

These "first-landers" had been led by their faith and a vision placed

in their hearts by the Holy Spirit, to set out across the stormy Atlantic Ocean,

-much like Moses leading the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt-

to find rest and peaceful sanctuary in the Promised Land of the New World.

Upon reaching dry shore again, one of the first acts of these grateful

people was to erect a seven foot wooden cross and dedicate the land beneath

their feet to the Lord Jesus Christ.  This single act of humble thanksgiving

and praise is the real reason why America has prospered like no other

nation on the face of this earth.

However, since the beginning of our existence as a nation, there have

been many people and groups trying to erase this essential truth and rid 

all mention of Christ and the influence of His church from our land.

We have seen the results of their efforts, especially in recent years,

as our nation has become more and more divided along social, political,

and religious lines, while violence has dramatically increased, a sad

reality once again proven by this latest attack of senseless evil in

a California nightclub.   We have all seen the unholy and destructive

power of the so-called, globalist-backed, "Resistance" at work in our nation.

It is time for the "Remnant" to rise up to the challenge and

squash the rampant spirit of Antichrist in it's tracks!

"For the time has arrived for judgment to begin 

with the house of God; and if it begins with us,

what will be the end of those who do not respect 

or believe or obey the good news of the Gospel of God?"

1 Peter 4:17

Only a bold revival of Christ-centered, Holy Spirit-led faith,

(the "faith of our fathers and mothers, living still!) 

will save the United States of America from 

God's forthcoming judgment of the nations.
