help us in our time of need.”

| With No Gulf Solution in Sight, Louisiana Turns to Prayer Published June 20, 2010| FOXNews.com Oil from the leaking Deep Horizon oil rig is seen swirling through the currents in the Gulf of Mexico. Marine scientists fear that two powerful Gulf currents will carry the oil to other reefs: the eastward flowing loop current could spread the oil about 450 miles to the Florida Keys, while the Louisiana coastal current could move the oil as far west as central Texas. State senators in Louisiana have designated Sunday as a day of prayer aimed at seeking an end to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster. On Wednesday, Louisiana state Sen. Robert Adley won unanimous approval of the resolution, which invites people of all faiths from within the state and around the U.S. to focus on divine intervention to find a solution to the crisis. “Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail,” CNN reported Adley saying in a statement released last week. “It is clearly time for a miracle for us.” As oil continues to gush from the broken oil well and wash ashore in Louisiana and other Gulf states, citizens are furious that neither BP nor the Obama administration has been able to come up with a viable solution. To date, more than 120 million gallons of crude oil have leaked into the Gulf. The AP contributed to this story.

Prayer is where it all has to start for ALL of us… believing God for the miraculous in seemingly impossible situations!
That’s true in this situation; but it is equally true in our own personal lives.
Too bad most of the world apparently doesn’t believe that anymore; and I’m sad to say that is even true of much of the church today as well.
Of course many, if not most people today express some sort of belief in God, and some even associate themselves with some form of religion; but few have their belief system based in the full gospel, as it is taught and expressed in the full council of God’s Word.
Even the printing of this article, though it is right on in its message, when you consider its source (the AP news wire service) it’s almost like what we read happened with the Apostle Paul, where this certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination, and who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling, was following Paul and Silas around town announcing “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” Whereas everything she said was true, the reason it ticked Paul off was because this woman was being manipulated and used by Satan; and was only mocking them.
Well as I have said before, the news media in the United States is both owned and controlled by the Globalist International Bankers, of which the Rothschild’s Banking Dynasty is the head; and when J.P. Morgan (who was but a lieutenant of the Rothschild’s organization) founded the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921, the first thing he did was hire the top people in the media to work for him, and then proceeded to buy up 20% of the top media outlets in the U.S., all in order to control what they printed.
This same oligarchy, which resides in this Banking Cartel, is what controls the major networks today in our broadcast media as well, so that most of the news we get today is all filtered and managed, in order to promote the enemy’s cause and move us towards this “New World Order,” and it’s not for our benefit at all
Also you might want to note that even though the article talks about BP (British Petroleum) and is directed at them, the same organization that owns the AP wire service, as well as Reuter’s wires service also, I might add, owns BP as well.
Also please note that Rupert Murdoch, founder and head of Fox News is also a member of the CFR; so this is definitely a case of having the fox (no pun intended) watch the hen house; and it is also analogous to how professional wrestling is operated today, where the whole thing is staged and is but a show… where the outcome is always predetermined.
That is the state of our News Media today, and it has been this way ever since J.P. Morgan founded the CFR organization (back in 1921), all of which is but a front organization for the Rothschild’s Banking oligarchy.
Folks, we need not only to take back our country, we also need to take back our press too!
And we, as Christians, need to learn how to plug into our REAL power source, and model the life of Jesus, and the patterns He established for ministry, and not the modernized version that come out of Madison Avenue marketing strategies and techniques… in the “Seeker Friendly,” oriented churches of today.
Jesus by His own words did not come to compromise or make friends with evil, for you can’t make friends and strike an agreement with the Devil, as some have tried to do in the past, and are still doing today, even within the church; but rather Jesus said that He came to bring a sword.
Matthew 10:34-36
Christ Brings Division
34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.”
This is spiritual warfare, and it is fought with spiritual weapons!
It is very important that we learn this truth, and in our effort to regain our country, and retake this earth for our God, we must surely begin on our knees; but we must also cease trying to improve on the methodology established by Jesus and the Apostles, as we can read in the four Gospels and in the Book of Acts… because we cannot improve on perfection!
For us to attempt to do anything for God, without the Holy Spirit on our side, and without our absolute trust, reliance, and obedience to Him is absolutely futile. Selah
Which brings me back to a point I have made many times before, and that is we desperately need a Spiritual Awakening in this country, followed by a world shaking Revival… if we are ever to turn this mess around!
To that end, again I repeat… for all those who are called by His name and are Christians, let us watch and pray!
Shalom,
Skip Barland
