GOD IS HOLDING ON TO YOU… and He will NEVER let you go!!!

Click here to hear Sid Roth’s interview with Grace Williams

Meet Grace Williams…

“Grace is a worship artist, ordained psalmist, songwriter/producer.  She operates with a Davidic anointing to capture the fresh sounds of heaven.  Her angelic voice brings healing, peace and comfort to the nations.  Listen and you’ll hear a voice within her voice moving you closer to the heart of God.  Catch this messenger of the Spirit…It’s more than music!”

My story begins pretty much at birth when I was born prematurely with water on my lungs. My chest would concave several inches as I gasped for breath in intensive care. Doctors gave up all hope for my tiny frame to survive as I lost a third of my body weight just struggling to breathe. On the 10th day I was miraculously healed and sent home with the name, Grace…”when God does what we can’t do”.

My mother remembers an angel visiting me in my crib when I was a few months old and then I was filled with the Spirit when I was three years old. My mom was rocking my sister to sleep praying in tongues when she surprisingly heard beautiful melodies wafting from her toddler. I was singing in tongues and shortly after I heard a piano for the first time at a neighbor’s Bible study. I reached my tiny hands up stroking the keys and said, “Mama, I want one of these.”  The rest is history as I continue to be love sick for the Lord. I have always felt God’s presence singing over me and sensed His calling to echo His voice to the nations. I am continuing in the journey of my great, great, great, great grandfather, Orceneth Fisher, a holiness preacher who carried the Glory and traveled the West Coast igniting Revival Fires as an early apostle to California. The Fire of His holy zeal still burns within me as this is my inheritance!

I currently minister in our family church www.ocremnant.org in Orange County, California where God is stirring the Revival embers.

It is oh so comforting for me to know and to understand that as a Christian, meaning I am a covenant child of God, who has been born-again, and has made Jesus Christ (Messiah—Anointed One) both Lord and Saviour of your life, that I will never have a circumstance or problem that God is not with me!!!

How people in the world get along without this relationship, and without the knowledge of this awesome potential that is made available to every child of God, through Jesus Christ; and of God’s longing and love for each one of his estranged children, to have them reconciled back into His eternal family… is just beyond me how they cope?!

For that is the ONLY hope any of us have in this world!!! Selah

Let us ALL be about our Father’s business today, to let the world know about Jesus, and who He is!!!

Shalom,

Obama… a man without a country!

This man without a country has been showing us all along where his loyalties are…

or rather, I should say where they are not!

Who is this man, and where was he born?

According to one report, in an ABC broadcast in 2004, which I can find printed articles on, but haven’t so far been able to find the original audio, Obama even admitted that he was born in Kenya; because when challenged by his then republican opponent, Alan Keyes, Obama said it didn’t matter because he wasn’t running for President!

Here’s the evidence: In this video taken during the Democrat Party Convention, Michelle Obama off-offhandedly remarks that her husband, Barack Obama, was born in Kenya and not America, when she says: “Barack’s home country is Kenya!”

The Question is, does America care, or have most people chosen to believe a lie?

Below is a commentary on this subject from Pat Boone, that I think is well worth reading.

There are so many contradictions in this man’s life it isn’t funny:

It starts at his birth, where his paternal grandmother and his family in Kenya originally claimed that he was born there; and even his grandmother is on record (and was recorded in a live interview) saying that she was even present at his birth.

Apparently from an account I read, his mother had tried to board a flight to America, but was refused passage on the airlines because she was too close to delivery; and given his mother’s age and the immigration laws at the time, she was too young to transfer citizenship to her son.

Due to the fact that his father was a citizen of Kenya, and that Kenya was under British rule at the time (up until 1963), Obama actually started life as a subject of the British Crown; until his mother divorced his father, remarried an Indonesian man, and then moved her and her son to Indonesia.

Obama however says that he was born in America; and yet he refuses to produce valid proof of his citizenship; and what’s worse, apparently Congress just took his word, and didn’t even bother to do a proper background check and vet him; and the truth is, with the credentials he did provide, he couldn’t have even been hired as a cook in the White House, because he never would have passed a security background check!

What we do know however, and what we have evidence of is his Indonesian citizenship, for those years up until age 12, that we know he lived in and attended school in Indonesia, when he was adopted by his mother’s new husband.

Indonesian law at the time required that he had to be an Indonesian citizen in order to enroll in school there, and he also had to be Muslim too, I might add.

We know also that his name was officially changed to Barry Soetoro, and never was that name officially changed back to Barach Hussein Obama; nor did he go through immigration when he came to live with his maternal grandparents at age 12, in Hawaii. So that means the only legal citizenship that he has is his Indonesian citizenship.

There is also evidence to indicate that he attended school here in the U.S. as a foreign student; and that his international travels, prior to him being elected to the Senate, were all done using an Indonesian Passport; and that is why he has refused to release both his school records, and his medical records, because it would show this as being true.

He now claims that he is a Christian, but is also on record and has been recorded talking about his “Muslim faith,” and also he has been recorded mocking various passages in the Bible, including Jesus’ Sermon on the Mound.

In addition, he has stated that faith in Jesus is NOT the only way into heaven, but has said that he believes Muslims and even atheists, as long as they are good and moral people will equally be admitted into heaven; and all of this contradicts what Jesus said, when He said “He was the only way; and that He is the way, the truth, and the life!”

How this man got elected to president is a whole different subject, and shows a major breakdown and political agenda in Congress that allowed this to happen, and caused Congress, I believe, to purposefully look the other way.

Certainly this was not done to John McCain, as Congress demanded that he show his proof of citizenship, being that he was born in Panama, where his father was stationed at the time of his birth; which by the way, John McCain provided.

No we have a lot wrong in our country today; and we have a political leadership in Washington DC who no longer feels obligated to follow our U.S. Constitution anymore; and so their oath of office to do so means absolutely nothing; and by the way, whereas there are severe ramifications for a military person who breaks his or her oath, that they take on their induction into the military; there is no accountability nor legal ramifications whatsoever if a politician breaks his or her oath of office.

What’s worse, our country today is legally no longer a Constitutional Republic, and is rather now (and has been ever since 1871) THE UNITED STATES CORPORATION; and yet most American citizens are completely unaware of this fact.

There is a lot wrong in our country today folks, and there is an agenda, call it a conspiracy theory or whatever you want, but it is very real; and the end objective of that agenda is the complete eradication of our U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights, in order to cause our nation to become absorbed into the “New World Order!”

Question: is this the change that you want for America; and do you even care that this is the direction our nation is being taken today?

Obama was put in office by the vote of the people, and it is the people who will have to act, and take our country back; if we are to survive, as a free nation; and if we are to restore our Constitutional Republic.

It’s on us folks, and if you remain silent, then count on it, that what happened in pre-Nazi Germany will repeat itself here in our country; and as history has always proven, the ONLY thing necessary for evil to take over, is that good people do nothing, and remain silent!

I totally believe that we are to pray for Barack Obama; pray for his salvation and for him to have an encounter with Jesus Christ; but if this evidence is true that He is NOT Constitutionally qualified to be President then he needs to be removed from office!

Also please remember to keep praying for America; and pray also for a Spiritual Awakening and Revival in our land.

Shalom,

Skip Barland

Subject: The president without a country

day, July 11, 2010Today’s Edition

The president without a country

Posted: June 06, 2009
1:00 am Eastern

“We’re no longer a Christian nation.” – President Barack Obama, June 2007

“America has been arrogant.” – President Barack Obama

“After 9/11, America didn’t always live up to her ideals.”

– President Barack Obama

“You might say that America is a Muslim nation.”

– President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009

Thinking about these and other statements made by the man who wears the title of president … I keep wondering what country he believes he’s president of.

In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale’s “The Man without a Country,” a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, “Damn the United States! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!”

The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: “You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country’s naval vessels – under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed.”

And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan’s dying hours in his small stateroom – now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore – never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America, refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.

But reading and hearing the audacious, shocking statements of the man who was recently elected our president – a young black man living the impossible dream of millions of young Americans, past and present, black and white – I want to ask him, “Just what country do you think you’re president of?”

You surely can’t be referring to the United States of America, can you?

America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception!

Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian.

The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians.

It’s because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.

You studied law at Harvard, didn’t you, sir? You taught constitutional law in Chicago? Did you not ever read the statement of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark “Federalist Papers”: “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers – and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation – to select and prefer Christians for their rulers”?

In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: “Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian.”

Did your professors have you skip over all the high-court decisions right up till the mid 1900s that echoed and reinforced these views and intentions? Did you pick up the history of American jurisprudence only in 1947, when for the first time a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson about a “wall of separation between church and state” was used to deny some specific religious expression – contrary to Jefferson’s intent with that statement?

Or, wait a minute … were your ideas about America’s Christianity formed during the 20 years you were a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ under your pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Is that where you got the idea that “America is no longer a Christian nation”? Is this where you, even as you came to call yourself a Christian, formed the belief that “America has been arrogant”?

Even if that’s the understandable explanation of your damning of your country and accusing the whole nation (not just a few military officials trying their best to keep more Americans from being murdered by jihadists) of “not always living up to her ideals,” how did you come up with the ridiculous, alarming notion that we might be “considered a Muslim nation”?

Is it because there are some 2 million or more Muslims living here, trying to be good Americans? Out of a current population of over 300 million, 70 percent of whom are Christians? Does that make us, by any rational definition, a “Muslim nation”?

Why are we not, then, a “Chinese nation”? A “Korean nation”? Even a “Vietnamese nation”? There are even more of these distinct groups in America than Muslims. And if the distinction you’re trying to make is a religious one, why is America not “a Jewish nation”? There’s actually a case to be made for the latter, because our Constitution – and the success of our Revolution and founding – owe a deep debt to our Jewish brothers.

Have you stopped to think what an actual Muslim America would be like? Have you ever really spent much time in Iran? Even in Egypt? You, having been instructed in Islam as a kid at a Muslim school in Indonesia and saying you still love the call to evening prayers, can surely picture our nation founded on the Quran, not the Judeo-Christian Bible, and living under Shariah law. Can’t you? You do recall Muhammad’s directives [Surah 9:5,73] to “break the cross” and “kill the infidel”?

It seems increasingly and painfully obvious that you are more influenced by your upbringing and questionable education than most suspected.

If you consider yourself the president of a people who are “no longer Christian,” who have “failed to live up to our ideals,” who “have been arrogant,” and might even be “considered Muslim” – you are president of a country most Americans don’t recognize.

Could it be you are a president without a country?

This is a very possible scenario for America’s future, if we don’t change directions as a nation…

Will this be America’s future?

Will we have rioting and violence in our streets?

Just remember what happened when there were gasoline

shortages; now image if there are also food shortages too!

This is a very possible scenario of what lies in America’s future, if we remain unrepentant, as a nation; and if we allow our politicians to continue to take us down this present path, further away from God!

Let us heed God’s Warning to Israel…
Deuteronomy 8:11-20 (The Message)
^11-16 Make sure you don’t forget God, your God, by not keeping his commandments, his rules and regulations that I command you today. Make sure that when you eat and are satisfied, build pleasant houses and settle in, see your herds and flocks flourish and more and more money come in, watch your standard of living going up and up—make sure you don’t become so full of yourself and your things that you forget God, your God…

^17-18 If you start thinking to yourselves, “I did all this. And all by myself. I’m rich. It’s all mine!”—well, think again. Remember that God, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors—as it is today.

^19-20 If you forget, forget God, your God, and start taking up with other gods, serving and worshiping them, I’m on record right now as giving you firm warning: that will be the end of you; I mean it—destruction. You’ll go to your doom—the same as the nations God is destroying before you; doom because you wouldn’t obey the Voice of God, your God.

As I have said before, I believe our nation is at a very definite crossroads in our history, and the decisions our leaders make today will determine if we are to even remain a free society in the future!

We have been set on a path long ago, that most Americans are completely ignorant of; that began back in 1871, when our politicians first began to lie to the American people, and they haven’t stopped since!

Would you like to know how our politicians, in an effort to keep our nation financially solvent after the Civil War, bowed to the demands of the Rothschild’s International Banking Cartel, and relinquished our rights and our liberties, as mandated by our U.S. Constitution, and how they made We the People, as taxpayers, the collateral for the loans our government was asking for, that were necessary to keep our nation from financial insolvency after the Civil War.

Well educate yourselves, and learn how the United States ceased, in 1871, to be a Constitutional Republic!

(Click here and read the history for yourself)

Now mind you, there are politicians in office today, and also those who have held office in the past, and also there are industrial leaders of large corporations, who have been recruited, some of them during their college years, to betray our U.S. Constitution, and therefore our country; bringing our nation into what they call, and what former President George H. W. Bush first introduced publicly to the world (in 1991), as the “New World Order!”

The liberty and independence we earned as the result of our winning our War of Independence in 1776 was short lived, when our political leadership in 1871 surreptitiously, with no constitutional authority whatsoever, changed our Constitutional Republic into the UNITED STATES CORPORATION, and thereby enslaved and bound the American People to these International Bankers, as collateral for their loans!

Please support this effort today to take back our country, and restore our Constitutional Republic, as it was originally intended by our founding father.

(Click here to register and support The Restore America Plan!)

This is still our country, and as long as they haven’t yet completely undermined and dismantled our U.S. Constitution, as this Obama administration is currently doing, then we still have a chance to turn this around… if we act!

Let us begin on our knees, and pray for God’s forgiveness and grace in our land, that we as a people have forsaken the covenant our forefathers have made with Him, as we have followed after other things, and other gods.

May God forgive us as a nation, of our many trespasses and sins; may He hear our cry, as we humble ourselves and repent as individuals and as a nation; that we may once again seek after God’s face, that He would hear our prayers from heaven, and heal our land. In Jesus’ name… Amen!

Shalom,

The origin of Islam is Baal Worship… and involves the worshipping of the “moon god”.

Elijah and the Priest of Baal on Mt. Carmel…

1 Kings 18:20-23
Elijah’s Mount Carmel Victory
²⁰ So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel. ²¹ And Elijah came to all the people, and said,
“How long will you falter between two opinions?

If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

²² Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. ²³ Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it.

²⁴ Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.”

That was then, and this is now…

same God, versus the same Baal worshipers!

(I want to warn you this video is pretty disgusting!)

(The above footage was taken in Vienna of a yearly ceremony that many Muslims celebrate.)

Mind you this is the “Peaceful” religion that both Obama

and former President George W. Bush spoke about.

Islam is repackaged polytheism.
Islam is paganism in monotheistic wrapping paper.
Islam is veiled neo-polytheism.

Islam and Baal worship have the same origin and same god…Allah;

and both involves the worship of the “moon god.”

Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC.
In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.
This Hubal was a moon god.
One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of every mosque throughout the world:

About four hundred years before the birth of Muhammad one Amr bin Lahyo … a descendant of Qahtan and king of Hijaz, had put an idol called Hubal on the roof of the Kaba. This was one of the chief deities of the Quraish before Islam. (Muhammad The Holy Prophet, Hafiz Ghulam Sarwar (Pakistan), p 18-19, Muslim)
The moon god was also referred to as “al-ilah”. This is not a proper name of a single specific god, but a generic reference meaning “the god”. Each local pagan Arab tribe would refer to their own local tribal pagan god as “al-ilah”.
“al-ilah” was later shortened to Allah before Muhammad began promoting his new religion in 610 AD.
There is evidence that Hubal was referred to as “Allah”.
When Muhammad came along, he dropped all references to the name “Hubal” but retained the generic “Allah”.
Muhammad retained almost all the pagan rituals of the Arabs at the Kaba and redefined them in monotheistic terms.
Regardless of the specifics of the facts, it is clear that Islam is derived from paganism that once worshiped a moon-god.
Although Islam is today a monotheist religion, its roots are in paganism.

Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah was already being worshipped at the Ka’ba in Mecca by Arab pagans before Muhammad came. Some Muslims become angry when they are confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side. Pre-Islamic literature has proved this.” (Who Is This Allah?, G. J. O. Moshay, 1994, p 138)

“But history establishes beyond the shadow of doubt that even the pagan Arabs, before Muhammad’s time, knew their chief god by the name of Allah and even, in a sense, proclaimed his unity…Among the pagan Arabs this term denoted the chief god of their pantheon, the Kaaba, with its three hundred and sixty idols.” (The Moslem Doctrine of God, Samuel M. Zwemer 1905, p 24-25)

In fact, he did not at first intend to establish a new religion, but rather to reform the belief in Allah which already existed, and to show what this belief truly signified and rightfully demanded. (Mohammed: The man and his faith, Tor Andrae, 1936, Translated by Theophil Menzel, 1960, p13-30)

God’s Prophetic Word for America today…

For the Lord says, sound the Shofar and warn my people!!!

“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees!” (Isa 21:6)

For surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
(Amos 3:7)

Below is an Interview with Kim Clement, who in 1996 predicted the attack of 9/11; and again he gave a prophecy on Katrina, 5 weeks before it happened:

Listen again to another modern day prophet as he shares what God has shown him about America’s future:

Hank Kunneman is a proven Prophet, click here to hear what God is telling him about America’s future.

There is ALWAYS hope, and God’s promise always is that when the enemy comes in as a flood, that the Lord will raise up a standard against him; and that move will ALWAYS be a supernatural move of the Holy Spirit. Expect it America, for this is our only hope as a nation!

Below Chuck Pierce shares what God has shown him lately what is to happen, regarding the Gulf Region, and the ongoing crisis there.

As much as I hate what I see happening to our nation, and the malaise and blindness that seems to be so pronounced among our citizens, and the absolute corruption and debauchery of our politicians, we must nevertheless remember that ultimately God is in control, but it is for us, who are His covenant children in the earth, to believe, and have faith; and to pray and intercede for our nation.

God has his way of reaching into places no one else can go, and He has His ways of changing the hearts of men; or hardening them, as we can see in Scripture.

The message for today is that we here in America are at a crossroads; and that also applies for Obama.

Pray for this man that he will respond to the Lord, and that he be saved; or that God will remove him from office.

Pray also for the success of this effort to return American back to our Constitutional roots, and that we will be successful at reestablishing our Constitutional Republic; and pray most of all for a Spiritual Awakening and Revival to be sparked in our land. In Jesus’ name… Amen. Selah

Shalom,

Subject: Chuck Pierce: The Gulf Region will See God’s GLORY!

Chuck Pierce:

The Next Move of God! Get Ready—the Pot is Boiling! The Gulf Region will See God’s GLORY!

I hope each of you is interacting with the “Issachar Devotions”. This is a special month for you to understand “God’s TIME and Calendar” in a new way! Many are beginning to understand the redemptive gifts that are activated within us when we are grafted into God’s covenant plan.

The Next Move of God!

Recently, the Spirit of the Lord spoke and said, “There is a DEEP MOVE of MY SPIRIT coming into the earth realm. The Glory of God fills the heavens. But if you will look at the Gulf region of America, you will see that the glory that would fill the earth like waters cover the sea is not moving. I am going to move in an incredible way. I will have a deep move. Get ready to ride the waves of the next move of God!“

Below, Robert Heidler shares on the Next Move of God:

God is doing an incredible work in our day! He is restoring His Church to the purity and power the early Church experienced. He is reconnecting the Church to its covenant root, so the life-giving sap of that root (Romans 11) can flow into every branch, producing the great last-days revival.

The Spirit of God is moving! He desires to bring His Church into third-day resurrection power! But we’ll never appreciate what God is doing today unless we understand what happened to the early Church.

The early Church was the most powerful entity the earth had known. It spread all over the world and nothing could stop it. Persecution only purified it and made it grow faster! Yet in the fourth century, satan found a way to destroy the early Church.

By the end of the fifth century, the Church the apostles planted was dead! The Church became a powerful political organization, but lacked the life of God.

For 1000 years, very few in the Church even knew how to get saved! If we see how the early Church died, we will be able to appreciate and flow in the great work of restoration God is doing today!

The Spirit and the Bride: A History of the Moves of the Spirit!

We are on the verge of the next move of Holy Spirit in the earth. That is why it is crucial to understand the history of the moves of the Spirit so we can “SEE” the next move of God forming.

Jesus alluded to Himself as “The Bridegroom.” God is not a God who distinguishes our gifts and callings based upon gender!

Therefore, all males in the Kingdom of God must pursue the Bridegroom. All males and females together in the Kingdom make up what is called “His Bride.” Husbands learn how to love the Church by the way they love their bride.

I actually think married men learn how to love themselves based upon their understanding of their bride. To “pursue the Bridegroom” must be a phrase that is understood by male and female alike.

The Bride, of course, is the Church! The Church is a pure virgin that will pursue (2 Corinthians 11:1-2). These are those, who by faith through grace, have pursued Him to form a relationship and go with Him throughout the earth. This can be to people, nations, highways and byways, based upon us following Him, the One we love.

My whole testimony revolves around two statements, “I will restore what you have LOST” and “Follow ME and you will see revival and restoration!” These two statements have built my life pursuit of our Lord!

In Revelation 21:9 the Church is called “the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” In the Old Testament, Jehovah and the Jewish nation were Husband and Bride. He was betrothed and married to His nation.

The prophet Hosea best revealed the relationship of a husband and unfaithful bride. As a whole, the nation of Israel rejected and was unfaithful to the One who formed them and developed His relationship with them, the people and the land.

As the Church pursues the Bridegroom and matures in this relationship, Israel will be restored by grace, forgiven, and reinstated as a nation to the firstborn, first-wife status that God intended in His origination.

This will give Israel a unique status among nations as God’s elect nation (Romans 11). This will bring them back to their call as “Bride.” All nations will then reconcile around this call and restored status.

We, the Church, the Body, the Bride of Christ, must pursue our Lover as He sends us to gather His inheritance among the nations (Psalm 2). We are being fragranced as a Bride through the baptizing work of the Holy Spirit. The Bridegroom rejoices over the Bride! We must not hesitate in our comfortable beds to open the door and leave our bedroom chamber to frolic after our Lord as He leaps from mountain to mountain, the cultures of our society.

The Word and the Spirit!

We are in a time to understand reality. Reality is when Spirit and Truth come together and we worship. To discern the world around us, we must understand both Spirit and Truth. The Woman at the Well experienced the reality of Jesus. You can also! Many people do not understand how revelation works. Without revelation, we perish or enter into humanistic thought processes.

Armed and Dangerous!

We are in a tremendous season of warfare. Warfare is conflict. Many of our books deal with spiritual warfare.

Things are getting darker and darker. Many do not understand spiritual warfare and the grace that we have been given to fight. Spiritual Warfare is wrestling and outwitting the enemy who would love to get an upper hand on you.

I See A Boiling Pot!

As I said last week, “I saw a boiling pot!” What does this mean to us? When I see something in the spiritual realm, my first step is to go the Word for an objective interpretation.

In Jeremiah 1:13, God showed the prophet a seething pot toward the north. Ezekiel 24:3 defines this boiling pot as an emblem of war. When this pot boils over, there are lands that will end in desolation. This verse reveals that from the north, evil comes. There was a steam that was rising representing an evil force in the atmosphere. This thick vapor would spread over the land.

I see war on the horizon. Many factions are in the midst of us, and war is being pieced together.

Someone asked me if I think we will be invaded in this land. I said to them, “We have so many factions vying for control that we must see that all the elements for a major conflict are already growing in our midst.”

There are religious factions warring against the next move of the Spirit of God.

There are doctrines of demons contending for the minds and time of God’s men and women. Leaders are being tested in their faithfulness toward the Lord and His ways of doing things. There are national representatives from other nations vying for information that will produce control. Mammon is influencing many against God’s purposes.

Another issue in the pot is the selfishness of many. God addressed all of Israel over the priests’ selfishness. Wars come from selfishness (James 1).

In the days of Hannah, God’s Kingdom needed a new representative. Eli and his sons had been tainted in leading the people toward the Lord.

The normal practice at Shiloh was for the priest to receive whichever part came up from the boiling pot on the end of the fork. Eli’s sons insisted on taking what they wanted, when they wanted it.

They selected the best parts for themselves. They preferred the meat being roasted rather than boiled. They refused to yield the fat for burning on the altar. God withdrew His presence. God is looking at our giving and what we are taking as well.

Hannah travailed to bring forth a new leader for a new season. God wants His presence to fill the atmosphere and His glory to cover the earth.

Jeremiah saw this boiling pot. The pot was a large kettle that was evidently sitting on a fire. A wind was blowing to keep the fire hot and the pot boiling.

In 1 Samuel 2:14, this word is also translated as “kettle”, and the word “cauldrons” is used in 2 Chronicles 35:13.

In Job 41:20, the smoke from the nostrils of the Leviathan pours out like smoke from a boiling “pot.” This causes me to see the Gulf beginning to boil and Leviathan creating stirring war over the issues that are loosed now in the earth.

Get ready—the pot is boiling! This nation is beginning to simmer. Watch around November for the pot to start boiling over.

Yes, we can pray… but in our prayers we must declare that the fire of conflict be turned down. Mammon is blowing a wind of confusion. Focus! Focus! We can gain momentum in these times that are heating up.

Watch Russia! Watch its influence in Syria and Iran. Watch as Russia attempts to align with Great Britain. Learn the concepts of war in a time of war.

Passover and Go Beyond!

We just celebrated the 4th of July. That is America’s Independence Day. Most nations have an Independence Day from someone or some type of captivity. The greatest Biblical basis for a nation being liberated was Passover. The nation of Israel, who had been submerged into the nation of Egypt, was liberated by the powerful acts of God through His servant, Moses. The Blood was the defining force of this liberation. The power of that Blood is available to each of us today through the Spirit of the One who gave His life as a sacrifice for us. Know His Blood! Know how to receive His Spirit! Know how to be liberated!

At Passover this year, we declared a shift in the timing of the Church that will bring us back into sync with the POWER of the BLOOD and DELIVERANCE! In the early Church, Passover was one of the most important times of the year.

However, when Constantine “legalized” Christianity, Passover was forbidden. In Syrian and Greek culture, Passover was not allowed to be incorporated into the worship service. Slowly, the power of His Blood was displaced as the central focus of corporate gatherings.

Passover is our Redemptive Feast linked with crossing over and entering resurrection power through His Blood! God gave us this Feast to help us celebrate that we are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb out of the hands of the enemy!

It’s a joyful time to remember that Jesus died to set us free, so we can enter into every promise! Our Passover Celebration is a time to decree that the Church recognizes HIS BLOOD is active in the world to redeem mankind.

Don’t miss entering into and redeeming the time so you continue in this new season “free” and fully liberated!

The Power of Music and the Effects of Violent Worship!

My life is filled with music. My family loves music. We go to plays, concerts, and musical performances. We attend jazz festivals and outdoor music gatherings. We watch musicals. All of my children are musical. For some, music seems to be their goal. Sound and music play a great part of our lives. The people I minister with are musical. If they are not gifted musicians, they are worshippers. In Heaven, worship and musical sound are one.

Here is an example of music, sound, and violent worship. The Lord said that “the Kingdom is filled with violence, and the violent take it by force.” However, many of us cannot visualize what this looks like.

Wherever I minister, music and sound set the stage for the release of God’s will into the place I have been called.

Last year, I had a team ministering in Paris. Key leaders and influencers from the city were with us. In my heart I had this desire arise to go through the city and “sow joy.” During our worship, I kept hearing the Holy Spirit saying, “The sound of joy is in you!” He kept saying this over and over again.

Then He showed me that we, the people of God, must release the sound of joy!

No matter what our natural circumstances or situations dictate, and no matter what we feel physically, we have a sound of joy to release.

We must employ the law of sowing and reaping, and sow from the joy in us which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. As we release the sound of joy from the earth, He releases His joy from Heaven based on Psalm 16:11, “In His Presence, there is fullness of joy and at His right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

That joy becomes our strength to produce supernatural victory! I knew that I could find the sound in Heaven that would produce joy in the people of Paris as I ministered and visited the city.

Heaven is filled with sound because Heaven is filled with worship. When we enter the Throne Room and come boldly before the Lord, we have access to the same worship sounds of Heaven.

We also have access to the same emotion of Heaven. Sound creates movement. Worship, sound, and music are important. Your conscience is like a window between your soul and spirit. Make sure nothing is clouding your conscience. Sound that leads you into movement and worship will cause your conscience to remain in alignment with God.

The conscience is one of the absolute authorities of our life. When our conscience is aligned and interacting with the Word of God, the “window” remains clean and open. The conscience is the lamp of the body. The conscience is the eye of our spirit that causes us to see into the heavenly realms.

Clean and open your window and receive the sound of the Lord! Let the wind of the Spirit bring the sound that you need through the window of Heaven and into the place where you are standing.

“Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5, NASB).

Unshakable praise must keep going forth in your life. Unshakable praise plows through the hardest ground. When the ground is hard, when the circumstances are adverse, God’s favor is on the one who will praise.

Fallow ground will break up. Declare the plow of praise will cut through the ungiving earth and make a way for the good seed of the Word to be planted.

The Word of God tells us to submit ourselves to God, draw near to Him and then resist the devil. I believe that as we worship and submit ourselves to a holy God, we can come into intimate contact with Him. Even though we walk here on the Earth in our worshipful submission, we ascend into Heaven. As we individually seek God and ascend into the Throne Room, we can hear the sound of Heaven in our spirit man on Earth.

Prophetic Word Released: Songs and Sounds

Recently in a worship service, LeAnn Squier, an amazing musician and psalmist, began to prophesy. I began to hear and release revelation along with her. The Spirit of God began to speak to us the following:

“I am creating a unique identity in My people. Even in searching for the sound of your sound, your identity is found in the unique sound within you. I am removing from you the noise of the world’s confusion. This noise has made you something that I never intended you to become.

“I am going to begin to pour such a pure stream of sound from Heaven around you that you will hear who you are to become. You won’t sound like any other individual and the place on earth where I have positioned you will not sound like any other location.

You are in My time, so you will not sound like another day, century, or decade. You will have a sound for now. You will have an identity that is unique and unmistakable. There are ten thousands of ten thousands of voices that are going to begin to join with your sound. This sound will be poured from Heaven, but then rise back from the Earth.

“I am tipping My golden chalice from My heavenly palace and disseminating and depositing thousands and thousands of songs and sounds in you, the sanctuary of your dwelling and the land around you.

You will birth words that express and sounds that impart and deliver the voice of what I have done and what I am doing to the societal culture around you. This will not be a sound that has one local expression, but will be linked together with harmonies of others around the world. This sound will produce a joy in the lands of the earth.

“There is a voice. The sound of My voice is going to come in an unmistakable clarity. Begin to look for the new expression. Begin to look for the new words. Begin to look for the new sounds that are going to accurately express the sound of this pouring out of this drink offering that I am delivering. I am giving assignments! Some will sing! Some will orchestrate! Some will create the movement of dance to the sound. You will bind the enemy in chains and break the back of principalities that are controlling and resisting the movement of My Spirit in the earth.

I am reordering your day with sound and the music of Heaven. This day will not sound like nor look like any other day.”

BREAKING! Obama’s Bogus Nativity Headlined by Super Market Tabloid!

TABLOID” MAGAZINE BREAKS THE OBAMA CITIZENSHIP SCANDAL! July 4, 2010
WorthReading was the first to grab onto this front page story for the Globe Supermarket Tabloid Paper showing the world that Obama’s “Presidency” is illegal. The front page story broke over the the 4th of July weekend. Take a look:
THE GLOBE picked up a recent WND story of a Government worker who is in a definite position to know, and who says Obama has no US birth certificate at all–native born, natural born or otherwise!!! They investigated further, then published this current issue.

Before the leftists say the Globe is nothing more than a tabloid rag, it can be pointed out that the Enquirer was once thought to be a tabloid rag also until The Enquirer broke the Clinton/Lewinski scandal. Now The Enquirer is respected and trusted on these kinds of breaking scandals.

Now the Globe is coming into it’s own with a story that the mainstream media has refused to print, and is appearing in a “Supermarket Tabloid” that has a greater circulation than all the Marxist Media. Pick up a copy of The Globe and note that there is a comment section on the Globe website. Please go there to support the Globe in their coverage of this story! that nobody else would touch. Here’s the link: http://www.globemagazine.com/story/277.

The editor of WorthReading added: “This is the best 4th of July present any newspaper could give constitution-loving Americans and this nation. And it may well be that they put this out during this patriotic week as an unambiguous signal to us to pick up the reins, spread the story, and demand impeachment proceedings to begin immediately.

http://www.cc.org/blog/breaking_obama039s_bogus_nativity_headlined_super_market_tabloid

Apparently the Globe has also done a piece on this growing controversy, over Obama’s place of birth, that hit the stands over the Independence Day weekend.

Evidence is mounting from every direction, and we can only hope and pray that the truth comes out; and that we can take back our government.

On that note, I want to remind everyone to please check out the The Restore America Plan website, and register.

These people are now in the process, with the support of all fifty states backing them, to reestablish our Constitutional Republic, as it was originally designed and intended by our founding fathers.

The news media, as you would expect, has a blackout all news on this whole subject, so you aren’t hearing about it in the media.

Pray also that in addition to our cleaning house in Washington, that we also do so in the media as well.

Shalom,

Listen to an interview with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Obama, that aired on Israeli National TV…

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love her!!!”

(Psalm 122:6)

Now that Prime Minister Netanyahu has returned to Israel after meeting with President Obama, hope has been renewed for better relations between the two old allies.

President Obama has appeared across Israel on a major TV interview in an effort to reassure Israeli citizens. But the fact remains: major tension still exists over the issue of settlements in Israel and what the response should be to the threat of Iran completing their nuclear weapons program. ~ Dr. Michael Evans (Your Ambassador to Jerusalem)

The above interview between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Obama was aired today (on Friday) over Israel’s television, on Channel 2.

I truly feel that our nation is in serious trouble today, and that we as a nation are treading on very thin ice for a lot of different reasons; and I also feel (as I’ve said many times before) that we are also at a very definite crossroads too, as a nation; and that what we do now, and decisions that we make as a nation, will determine whether or not we shall even exists as a free nation in the future.

As a case in point, we have a man who now sits in the White House, who himself has failed to even produce or show evidence that he is in fact a U.S. Citizen; and the more we go down this road, with all the stonewalling by this man and his administration on this issue, those allegations appear to be true.

He also claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ, and says he is a Christian; however from all the evidence and the fruit that we can observe from his life and by what he says, the evidence would certainly indicate otherwise. And as if that were not bad enough, he has also been recorded as saying he is of the Muslim faith… but truly he cannot be both a Muslim and a Christian, and that’s for sure!

In fact from all of his rhetoric and posturing, the evidence would certainly seem to indicate that truly he in fact a Muslim; and has only cloaked himself as a Christian for political expediency. Obviously, he never would have been elected to office otherwise, if he were an admitted Muslim.

He also claims to be a friend of Israel; and yet he has verbally and politically sided with Israel’s enemies; and is even today exerting pressure on Israel, as have also the last several administrations before him (in both Republican and Democrat alike), going all the way back to the Ronald Reagan Administration, trying to pressure Israel to give away more land for peace… and this goes against a direct warning and commandment from God (in Joel 3:2) for nations not to do this, lest they be Judged by God.

Not only that, but we are also living in a time when our nation is fighting for its very life and survival; and is experiencing the worse financial recession and crisis since the Great Depression.

And in spite of that, we have an administration in Washington DC today that is going against our U.S. Constitution, and is implementing both policies and laws, many of which by the way were first signed into law through Executive Orders by Former President Bush, that are in direct conflict with our U.S. Constitution; and therefore they are illegal… and yet nobody, including our U.S. Supreme Court is saying anything or doing anything to stop it!

It certainly appears on the surface anyway that our nation has all but lost its moral compass, and is on its way down, headed towards our own demise, as a Republic anyway.

This also once happen before as well to a once great empire, called the Roman Empire; and their downfall, as it would appear ours will be also if we don’t change directions and repent, was more attributed to their own internal immorality, as a people; and the internal greed and corruption of its politicians. Doesn’t that sound familiar?

Is history repeating itself here in America? Well that is the 64 thousand dollar question… isn’t it? I can only say that it certainly appears that way!

All I can say is, we need to pray folks, and we need to both “watch and pray;” and by that I means we can’t afford to be so naïve and blasé about what’s going on in our country and in the politics of our country.

Folks, if we are going to change, and see our nation turn back to God, it will only be the Believers in our country, the Christians (according to what the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14), who have access to God through prayer, who are the ones to effect such a change; and to that end Christians have to be more proactive at all levels… including politics!

Our problem today is that our government is only an extension and reflection of the people who elected them, and so my concern is that the majority of our citizens today are also without a moral compass; and are ignorant of what is going on.

A lot of that I think it is because of the fact that our media is lying to us; and is purposefully supporting a whole different agenda, as is this current administration; and most of the general public are fast asleep, and are none the wiser… and we just can’t afford this folks!

We have to do better than this, if we are to survive, and reestablish our Constitutional Republic, and preserve our Liberty; because not only are we repeating history, if we don’t change our ways; but to add insult to injury, we are actually making the very same mistakes as did another nation in recent history, in that we are experiencing the same problems and are making the exact same mistakes as did the people in pre-Nazi Germany, in the 30’s, that gave way to the Nazis and to Hitler!

The handwriting is on the wall folks, and the question is, does anyone else notice… and does anyone care?

On that note, I will just end with this admonition, let us all continue to pray for a major Spiritual Awakening and Revival in our land, because seriously without our having that intervention from God, we are NOT going to make it!!!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

TRUST GOD IN ALL THINGS!!!

The Lord is our Shepherd… and He wants to lead us in every area of our life; but as sheep it is for us to follow!

Below, is another excellent devotion from David Wilkerson on this subject of trusting God in any and all situations of our life.

The point was made by David that he was trusting God in some areas, but not in others… and so the message God gave to him was that “God wants it all;” and by “ALL” He means all.

The apostle Peter (in 1 Peter 5:7) tells us to cast the total of our cares upon Him; in other words this means to roll them off of our shoulders, and on to Christ; and it goes on to say we are to do this because Satan roams about to and fro in the earth seeking those whom he can devour.

Now why is that? Why would my carrying burdens make me susceptible to attack by the enemy?

Well I believe the answer is because fear and doubt, when harbored and entertained in the life of a believer, in believing or accepting something as truth that is not, these emotions and feelings when allowed in our life can become a stronghold, and therefore they become a calling card for any demons in the area to get involved in our life

Apprehension and fear work counterproductive to faith, and they are the antitheses of faith; as are also haughtiness, bitterness, and unforgiveness too.

These emotions will light us up like a porch lamp on a warm summer’s night, and all the demons in the area will be attracted to us like a magnet when we are harboring emotions and feelings like these, that are in disobedience to God’s Word in and violation of our covenant.

God created us for intimate fellowship, and that means there is no part of our live that we should keep for ourselves, and say this is for me; and this is for God… God wants it all!!!

However if we insist on keeping our hurts, our anger, our resentments and turn away from God’s invitation to give it all up to Him, then He will just let us go our own way, and sink ourselves deeper in the mire of our life; until such time as we get tired of our stubborn disobedience and we call out to God for help and deliverance.

God is a gentleman and He will not ever force His will upon us; but life, such as it is, has its way of making those corrections for us, and believe me, it is NOT fun!!!

It is much better for us to begin by following the instructions in the Manual (our Bible), right from the get go; and thereby avoid a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering.

God will not settle for second best in our life, and He won’t be a backseat driver either!

Either we relinquish full control over to Him, through our becoming intimately acquainted with the Holy Spirit, our being filled with His power, and our following His instructions and guidance in our life; or we are on our own… and that is the only two choices we have. Selah

This is a hard lesson to learn, for sure… but it is an important one!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

Subject: HE WANTS IT ALL

HE WANTS IT ALL

by David Wilkerson | July 8, 2010

“Blessed are all they that wait for him…. thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry…and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left…. Ye shall have a song, as in the night…and gladness of heart” (Isaiah 30:18–19, 21, 29).

Isaiah was saying, “If you’ll just wait on the Lord—if you’ll cry out to him again, and return to trusting him—he’ll do for you everything I’ve said and more.”

God can merely speak a word, and the enemy will falter before us: “For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down” (Isaiah 30:31).

Beloved, there is no matter our Father can’t solve, no battle he can’t win for us, with a mere word from his lips.

Isaiah says “the breath of the Lord” will consume everything in our way (Isaiah 30:33). Yet, this process of trusting God in all things isn’t easy.

Recently I sought the Lord about a situation concerning our church building here in New York City.

I told God, “I trust you about this, Father. I have sought you about it, and I will be at peace about it.”

Here is how he answered me: “David, I’m amazed that you can trust me with your real estate, finances and other material things. Yet, you still won’t trust me with your physical well-being.”

I’d been very aware of my age. And I’d been overly concerned about what would happen to my family after I’m gone.

Now the Lord’s convicting words hit me like a thunderbolt. I’d put every material concern into his hands, but not the eternal concerns. I realized, “Lord, you want me to trust you with everything, don’t you?”

Yes, dear saint, he wants it all—your health, your family, your future. He wants you to entrust him with every matter. And he wants you to live in quietness, confidence and rest.

So, go to your secret closet and get alone with the Lord. Bring everything to him. He has promised, “You’ll hear my word behind you, telling you which way to go. This is the way—now, walk in it.”

The evidence of faith is rest. Trust faith results in peace of mind. And true faith trusts all things into his hands.

Here’s more proof that Obama is NOT an American citizen; but the question is… does America care?

The Story of Paul Revere, an American Hero!!!

The Liberty that we enjoy today came at a great cost to a great many people, in their personal commitment to risk their all, and sometimes at the cost of their very lives, so that we could be the beneficiaries and enjoy the fruit of their sacrifice.

There have always been people who have sounded the alarm, when our nation was threatened, such as Paul Revere; but had it not been for the people who responded to those warnings, our nation would never have been born.

Likewise, we should not take this liberty that so many today take for granted, and we can only hope and pray that there are those among our citizens who will heed the warning signs and respond to the call to first pray, and then to let their voice be heard.. and yes, should it come to it, even lay down their life!

For this is OUR country, and it is our children’s future that is at stake, and God forbid that we should let our politicians rob us of that future!!!

In the face of the mounting evidence and allegations that are mounting daily against Obama, that he is in fact constitutionally unqualified to be the President of the United States, our media and our Congress are still in denial.

It seems the prevailing attitude in our society today is that some don’t want the TRUTH nor the FACTS to get in the way of what some people want to believe; in whatever supports their chosen agenda; and it is in this atmosphere of discontent that societies are most susceptible to takeover by dictatorial rulers; who promise change, and tell the people whatever they want to hear, only to gain the foothold and power necessary to gain control over them.

This has happened all throughout history, and it is today happening here in the United States!

May God deliver us from this malaise that has blinded so many of our citizens; and this predisposition to believe a lie, rather than face the truth!

I would say that this president has an agenda, and his agenda most definitely does not serve our interest; but rather it serves the interest of the powers that be, who are the true power brokers, who operate behind the scenes; who are the true “Shadow Government,” behind our politics, of those who are the real shakers and movers in Washington DC, and also in the World.

It is their agenda that Obama is serving, as did President George W. Bush, before him; and Bill Clinton, before him; and George H.W. Bush Sr., before him; all of these men, who are former Presidents, who were elected to office to preserve, defend, and to protect our Constitution; and all of them are guilty of betraying their oath of office in favor of this Globalist “New World Order” agenda… and like it or lump it, that’s a fact folks!!!

Now you can recognize this truth or not, it’s up to you; but the question still remains, are there still enough of us, who are Americans who care; and are there enough to make a difference?

Our main problem that we have in America today are not our dishonest and corrupt politicians; but rather it is the general public, of those who voted them into office; who are themselves so deceived and so obtuse in their decrement, that they cannot see the truth, or won’t see it.

It is said that in a democracy you get the government that you deserve; and so it is We the People who have voted this present government into office; and so the government we now have, is the one we have chosen; and therein is the problem we have in America today.

Christians and non Christians alike; atheists and agnostics, it matter not… we each get one vote!

So as I have said numerous times before, as bad as it is, and as upsetting as it is, to see what is happening to our country today; it is even more upsetting to understand that what we see happening among our leadership in Washington DC is but a reflection and extension of the people who voted them into office.

I would add also, because I certainly understand that as the Bible says that there are no powers that exist in our government, but such that are allowed by God; but also with that, I understand (from the history and the patterns I read about in the Bible) that often God will judge His people by allowing wicked and godless rulers to rule over them. This pattern can be seen all throughout Israel’s history, in the various kings that ruled over her… and so I believe it is true with us as well.

The United States is very definitely at a crossroads in our history, and our salvation and survival, as a nation, will be dependent upon whether we who are called by His name, who are the “Christians” in our land, will obey and accept our mandate to pray and intercede for our nation; and that we would humble ourselves, and turn from our wicked ways, and begin to seek God’s face (meaning intimate and personal relationship with Him), that God would hear our prayers in heaven, and heal our land.

Subject: Proof Obama Born In Kenya?

“There is no birth certificate [for Barack Obama]. It’s like an open secret. There isn’t one. Everyone in the government there [Hawaii] knows this.” “It was openly admitted by everyone in the office that was above me… that there is no documentation… that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.”

“I was told, at the time, that there was no long form birth record, which would have been the case if President Obama was born in hospital in Honolulu… there is no such form in Hawaii. He does have a Certificate of Live Birth which is given to children of families who were residents of Hawaii when children are born outside the state. So I assert that he was born outside of Hawaii.”

Tim Adams, a former-Senior Elections Clerk for the City and County of Honolulu Hawaii, has been releasing mega-bomb-shells, like the ones above, for a month now… to anyone who will listen… and yet, the Main Stream Media still refuses to investigate his allegations.

Why not? If the allegations are true, then it is entirely possible that Barack Hussein Obama is INELIGIBLE to be President of the United States and may have committed the biggest political crime in American history right before our very eyes?

It would stand to reason that the media would investigate allegations of this magnitude… especially allegations coming from a man, such as Adams, who was in a position to credibly make such claims. It would even stand to reason that the Obama-Media would investigate this story in an attempt to discredit it… but no such luck… the Obama-Media has been not-so-strangely silent.

Of course, The Western Center for Journalism has not been silent. We’ve covered this story… boldly… without fear… and we will continue to cover this stories and stories like it, until the American people have the truth… the whole truth… and nothing but the truth when it comes to Barack Hussein Obama.

But, truth be told, we could not cover these stories without your help because your TAX- DEDUCTIBLE donations make it possible for us to cover the stories the Mainstream Media refuses to cover… your TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donations make it possible for The Western Center for Journalism to send a clear message to Barack Hussein Obama and his allies in the Obama-Media, each and every day, that questions concerning Obama’s eligibility are not simply going to go away.

What Does Barack Hussein Obama Have To Hide?

Of course, Barack Hussein Obama could put the issue to rest and take the wind right out of Adams’ sails right now by simply releasing his actual long form birth certificate.

But he won’t. In fact he is still actively refusing to release his actual long form birth certificate.

He’s dug in his heels and his underlings look down their noses at the American people and call legitimate questions “garbage” … no explanations… no substantive reasons given.

And the one pivotal question that those who attempt to dismiss the controversy cannot answer is still: If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to hide, what’s the problem? The more he resists, the more you have to wonder.

Meanwhile the liberal press is trying to drag this story (and Adams) into a dark alley and bludgeon it to death.

Adams recently told WorldNetDaily that he’s been called “a Nazi, a skinhead, a racist, and a host of other epithets,” even though his detractors could not point to anything in his “writing(s) or statements that would give credence to their claims.”

And MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann even went so far as to call Adams a “white supremacist.” Of course Olbermann, as usual, had no facts to back-up such an accusation… it was nothing more than an unprovoked attempt to assassinate the character of a man who is making statements that run counter to the party-line being promoted by Barack Hussein Obama.

But unlike Olbermann, The Western Center for Journalism is dedicated to bringing you the truth… the good… the bad… and the ugly… and with your help, we’ll continue to do so, until the bitter end… until the truth about Barack Hussein Obama is known by every man, woman and child in the United States of America.

Not Conspiracy Theories… Just The Facts…

Here are some of the disturbing facts surrounding Barack Hussein Obama’s actual long form birth certificate – not rumors, not wild theories – just the facts.

FACT #1: Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States states, “No person except a natural born citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President…” It’s NOT a technicality, or lunacy on the part of our Founding Fathers. It is a specific statement within a document that forms the basis for ALL of our laws and not open to interpretation (unless the entire Constitution should be now open to interpretation).

FACT #2: In order to be a “natural born citizen,” you must be born in the United States or, if you are born abroad, you CAN (if specific circumstances are met) inherit citizenship status from your parents. If he was born abroad, then that’s a problem for Barack Hussein Obama because his father was NOT a citizen of the United States and his mother had not lived in the United States the required amount of time after attaining the age of majority when Obama was born – meaning SHE COULD NOT pass citizenship on to Obama.

FACT #3: If Barack Hussein Obama WAS NOT born in the United States, he IS NOT a “natural born citizen” and if that is the case, Obama is guilty of perpetuating the most massive fraud in the history of the United States.

FACT #4: Barack Hussein Obama has actively refused to produce his actual long form birth certificate to the people who elected him. Under Hawaiian law, only Obama can legally release the document but he just won’t do it. Why not?

FACT #5: Instead of producing an actual long form birth certificate, Team Obama pulled some sleight-of-hand and produced another document – a “Certification of Live Birth” – and said, in effect, “Here’s his Birth Certificate! Now shut up.”

And, in light of Adams’ allegations, FACT #5 is of particular importance. To put it in Adams’ own words:

Adams also said: “Anyone can get that [Certification of Live Birth]. They are normally given if you give birth at home or while traveling overseas. … It’s quite common for people to come back and get that.”

So why won’t the Main Stream Obama-Media investigate these allegations? Why won’t the Main Stream Media air the facts? Your guess is as good as ours but don’t hold your breathe waiting for them to stop distorting and start reporting.

That’s our job and with your help, we can continue to get the job done each and every day. Please help us to continue exposing the truth about Barack Hussein Obama. You have our pledge that we will not rest until the job is done.

Growing our FAITH… it happens ONLY through trials and tribulations!!!

Faith is hanging on to God and His Word when ALL else fails…

and staying there in spite of all contradictory sight and sense evidence!

Hebrews 11:1-2

By Faith

1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ²This is what the ancients were commended for.

Examples of faith given us in the Bible:

Matthew 8:5-12

The Faith of the Centurion

⁵When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. ⁶“Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering.”

⁷Jesus said to him, “I will go and heal him.”

⁸The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

¹⁰When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. ¹¹I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. ¹²But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 9:2

²Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

Matthew 14:31

³¹Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?“

Matthew 15:28

²⁸Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Matthew 21:21

²¹Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.”

Mark 2:5

⁵When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Mark 7:24-30

The Faith of a Syrophoenician Woman

²⁴Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.^[a] He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. ²⁵In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil^[b] spirit came and fell at his feet. ²⁶The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷“First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.”

²⁸“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “but even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

²⁹Then he told her, “For such a reply (such faith), you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

³⁰She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone

Mark 10:52

⁵²“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Mark 11:12-14; 21-23

Jesus Clears the Temple

¹²The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. ¹³Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. ¹⁴Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

²¹Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

²²“Have^[a] faith in God,” Jesus answered. ²³“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.”

Luke 5:17-26

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

¹⁷One day as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting there. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick. ¹⁸Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. ¹⁹When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

²⁰When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

²¹The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

²²Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? ²³Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? ²⁴But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins….” He said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” ²⁵Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. ²⁶Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

Below there is an excellent devotional message from Worthy Ministries, on the subject of FAITH.

Personally, I have come to see faith as like a muscle, and as with any muscle if you exercise it, it grows; and if you don’t, it atrophies.

From God’s point of view, I do not believe it is ever a matter of how much faith we have, as a determining factor for why we receive answers to our prayers; for the Bible says that God has given to everyone (believers and nonbelievers alike) a measure of faith, or else (I believe anyway) we wouldn’t be able to discern the truth and be saved.

So we can know from this that every individual has a measure of faith; and then Jesus even goes on to say: “That if our faith were even as small as a mustard seed (which is about the smallest seed there is) that we can cast mountains into the sea.” So as I understand what the Scriptures are saying, it is never a matter about how much faith we have. So what is the determining factor?

Now this is my point. I believe all of us have had unanswered prayers; or we have had loved ones and friends who have died early, leaving behind families, who were even Christians, who were praying, and we were praying with them, for their healing… and nevertheless they died. Why is that?

The answer is, I don’t know; and neither does anyone else know for sure, this side of heaven anyway.

These things happen to all of us; but when they do happen, these should be times for us to dig in deeper, into the Word, and find out where we possibly may have missed it… and for that to happen, we have to set our pride aside and remain teachable. The point is… faith NEVER gives up, or loses hope!

Also I have found that on this subject of faith, it can often be a stumbling block and a subject of controversy for some; and for someone to even suggest that one’s faith is less than what it should be, and that possibly is the reason for delay or for unanswered prayer, is for some people, perceived as an insult.

Again it should not be perceived that way; and that attitude alone (which I believe is nothing but dumb pride) shows a hardened and unteachable spirit.

That is the reason why I listed all of these Scriptures above, where the Master (Jesus Himself) often attributed the miracles and answers to prays, according to the individual’s faith, in how their faith was the determining factor for them receiving their miracle!

For example, take the man who was a paralytic, whose friends seeing the pressing crowd, climbed up on the roof and disassembled it in order to lower their friend down in Jesus presence; and when Jesus referred to their faith that was what He was talking about.

Faith often is expressed, not just through our words, but also our actions; and often, as in this example, we are talking about extraordinary actions and measures that are taken, in the face of much resistance, and at great inconvenience.

Another example would be the woman with the issue of blood, who was out in a public place, against the Levitical Law (I might add), and in the presence of a temple official, no less; and yet in spite of all that she first said “If I can but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be healed;” and then she put action to her words, at great inconvenience and risk to herself, and she did an extraordinary thing… but in the end she was healed!

Now most of these people, that we read about in the Bible, who received their miracle, if we read the account and the circumstances that were surrounding them, we often find that they were not at all passive, and they were not saying “Well, if God wants to heal me He can.”

In fact I am sure there were many who had just such an attitude, as we can see all around us even in this day; but it was ONLY those who were proactive, and in spite of great opposition and resistance, they refused to let go, or give up hope (as the woman in the above picture)… and in the end, they received their miracle.

Also, consider the story of Daniel the Prophet for a moment; where we learn in the account given us in the Bible, that he had prayed and fasted for 21 days, before his answer came.

However, when the answer came, the angel told him that the answer was given on the first day he prayed, but that there was resistance in the heavens to his receiving his answer, due to the Prince of Darkness (the Devil); and that Michael the Archangel was dispatched to open the way… and it took 21 days for Daniel to receive an answer to his prayer.

QUESTION: Could that also be what is holding our answered prayers up; and if Daniel had stopped praying and fasting, and had given up after only a couple of days or week, would the answer still have come? I think not.

As I understand our Bible, in what it says on this subject of faith; it is that faith has to be exercised in order to grow, and the way it is exercised is through the obstacle course of our present trials and tribulations, that we are facing today, and always throughout the course of our life… all of which I believe has been choreographed and allowed by God, before we were born.

Again, as we learn from the Book of Job (the oldest book in the Bible) that Satan is as a dog on a leash, and he does not have cart blanch to do to us as he pleases… he has to first get God’s permission.

Or he has to have our permission, one or the other, which can happened if we are harboring strongholds of fear, or doubt, or unforgiveness.

Strongholds are incorrect beliefs that we allow, that are not true and are not Scriptural; and often they are rooted in fear, or in our harboring unforgiveness, or any number of things, that put us at odds with God.

Even as Job said, “What I feared most has happened to me.” All of these kinds of things, these strongholds, can give the enemy a foothold and access into our life… so beware!

Again from God’s perspective, as we learn from Scripture, each obstacle I believe is as a mountain placed in our path, that we have to learn how to overcome by faith; and though these obstacles have been placed there by the Devil (again, as we learn happened in the account given us in the Book of Job), nevertheless it was God who allowed it; so that Job’s faith may grow… and that’s my point!

So regardless of how we feel on this subject of FAITH, the Bible makes it very clear that “Without faith it is impossible for us to please God,” and so regardless of how we may feel, it is of utmost importance to God, and also for us, that we not be displeasing to our Lord. Selah

Shalom,

Does it seem that the tests are getting harder?

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

I don’t know about you, but it seems that the tests we’re going through are getting harder and harder. Do you remember when you took tests in high school? At the time they may have seemed hard. But imagine if you had to take an elementary school test when you were in high school. You’d probably think – oh this is so simple.

So if it seems that the testing of your faith is more intense – it simply means that you’re graduating to new levels of faith! Our faith is being tested, and as we pass each “faith” test, we’re finding different means of being tested. I suppose in a few years, we’ll look back and think to ourselves – wow that was a hard test, but now it doesn’t look so difficult!

If you’re going through a tough time right now, be encouraged because it simply means that God is graduating you to new levels of faith!

The harder the tests, the greater difficulty – the greater the reward, an increased blessing awaits you!

Stay focused, stay alert and remember that God is trying to stretch your faith so that you can accomplish even more for His Kingdom!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
