U.S. Government to Release New Dollar Coins You guessed it'IN GOD WE TRUST' IS GONE!!!If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!!DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE
We let PRAYER be taken away in school
Witness in court no longer swear on the BIBLE & No AMERICA FLAG in court room

If we do not stand firm for GOD, no one should complain when other things are taken from us.

IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS AFTER THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH, READ WHATA CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER HAS TO SAY... Michael Connelly of Carrollton, Texas is a retiredConstitutional lawyer and has read the entire health care bill and has somecomments, not about the bill, but about the effects on our Constitution.It's a broader picture than just health care reform. It's time we sit up and pay attention; once this sort ofthing happens, it will be irreversible. We have reason to be very afraid of what is happening. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILLS Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text ofproposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009.I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise,constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed lawthat were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was farworse than what I had heard or expected. To begin with, much of what has been said about the law andits implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the mediaare saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care,particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens areinvolved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services,and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medicalprofession. The Bill will also eventually force private insurancecompanies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately bemade by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health careprofessionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocationsof necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled. However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches thesurface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really hasno intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead, it is a convenient cover for the most massivetransfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has everoccurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one isadopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States willeffectively have been destroyed. The first thing to go will be the masterfully craftedbalance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branchesof the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the ObamaAdministration authority in a number of different areas over the lives ofthe American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that theCongress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas tobegin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution andfind any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate healthcare. This legislation also provides for access by the appointeesof the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information,your personal financial information, and the information of your employer,physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisionsof the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonablesearches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That willhave been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4thAmendments may provide. If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if youhave private insurance that is not deemed "acceptable" to the "HealthChoices Administrator" appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed onyou. It is called a "tax" instead of a fine because of the intentto avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment.However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law thatallows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitelydepriving someone of property without the "due process of law. So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the farleft hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that areeffectively nullified by this law. It doesn't stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: "The enumeration in theConstitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparageothers retained by the people." The 10th Amendment states: "The powers notdelegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it tothe States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Under the provisions of this piece of Congressionalhandiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights orpowers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control. I could write many more pages about this legislation, but Ithink you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power andlimiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of bothhouses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation" to support theConstitution. If I was a member of Congress, I would not be able to votefor this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violatingthat sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope theAmerican people would hold me accountable. For those who might doubt the nature of this threat Isuggest they consult the source. Here is a link to the Constitution: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html And another to the Bill of Rights:http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html<http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html> There you can see exactly what we are about to have takenfrom us.

The Peace (Keepers) Prize

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Published: October 10, 2009
The Nobel committee did President Obama no favors by prematurely awarding him its peace prize. As he himself acknowledged, he has not done anything yet on the scale that would normally merit such an award — and it dismays me that the most important prize in the world has been devalued in this way.

Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times

Times Topics: Nobel Prizes
It is not the president’s fault, though, that the Europeans are so relieved at his style of leadership, in contrast to that of his predecessor, that they want to do all they can to validate and encourage it. I thought the president showed great grace in accepting the prize not for himself but “as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.”
All that said, I hope Mr. Obama will take this instinct a step further when he travels to Oslo on Dec. 10 for the peace prize ceremony. Here is the speech I hope he will give:
“Let me begin by thanking the Nobel committee for awarding me this prize, the highest award to which any statesman can aspire. As I said on the day it was announced, ‘I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize.’ Therefore, upon reflection, I cannot accept this award on my behalf at all.
“But I will accept it on behalf of the most important peacekeepers in the world for the last century — the men and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
“I will accept this award on behalf of the American soldiers who landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, to liberate Europe from the grip of Nazi fascism. I will accept this award on behalf of the American soldiers and sailors who fought on the high seas and forlorn islands in the Pacific to free East Asia from Japanese tyranny in the Second World War.
“I will accept this award on behalf of the American airmen who in June 1948 broke the Soviet blockade of Berlin with an airlift of food and fuel so that West Berliners could continue to live free. I will accept this award on behalf of the tens of thousands of American soldiers who protected Europe from Communist dictatorship throughout the 50 years of the cold war.
“I will accept this award on behalf of the American soldiers who stand guard today at outposts in the mountains and deserts of Afghanistan to give that country, and particularly its women and girls, a chance to live a decent life free from the Taliban’s religious totalitarianism.
“I will accept this award on behalf of the American men and women who are still on patrol today in Iraq, helping to protect Baghdad’s fledgling government as it tries to organize the rarest of things in that country and that region — another free and fair election.
“I will accept this award on behalf of the thousands of American soldiers who today help protect a free and Democratic South Korea from an unfree and Communist North Korea.
“I will accept this award on behalf of all the American men and women soldiers who have gone on repeated humanitarian rescue missions after earthquakes and floods from the mountains of Pakistan to the coasts of Indonesia. I will accept this award on behalf of American soldiers who serve in the peacekeeping force in the Sinai desert that has kept relations between Egypt and Israel stable ever since the Camp David treaty was signed.
“I will accept this award on behalf of all the American airmen and sailors today who keep the sea lanes open and free in the Pacific and Atlantic so world trade can flow unhindered between nations.
“Finally, I will accept this award on behalf of my grandfather, Stanley Dunham, who arrived at Normandy six weeks after D-Day, and on behalf of my great-uncle, Charlie Payne, who was among those soldiers who liberated part of the Nazi concentration camp of Buchenwald.
“Members of the Nobel committee, I accept this award on behalf of all these American men and women soldiers, past and present, because I know — and I want you to know — that there is no peace without peacekeepers.
“Until the words of Isaiah are made true and lasting — and nations never again lift up swords against nations and never learn war anymore — we will need peacekeepers. Lord knows, ours are not perfect, and I have already moved to remedy inexcusable excesses we’ve perpetrated in the war on terrorism.
“But have no doubt, those are the exception. If you want to see the true essence of America, visit any U.S. military outpost in Iraq or Afghanistan. You will meet young men and women of every race and religion who work together as one, far from their families, motivated chiefly by their mission to keep the peace and expand the borders of freedom.
“So for all these reasons — and so you understand that I will never hesitate to call on American soldiers where necessary to take the field against the enemies of peace, tolerance and liberty — I accept this peace prize on behalf of the men and women of the U.S. military: the world’s most important peacekeepers.”

Meeting # 313 September 1, 2009
Our Father Who art in Heaven,
Will bring you praise tonight.
You delivered us all through another day and we thank you for it.
There are so many things to describe how great your love is for us on earth God, and you show us all every day, how much we mean to you.
The sun and the moon the stars in the sky, our perfect position from our star, the endlessness of outer space, the mysteries of the pyramids and the crop circles and all these things that make men think, are placed here to keep us sharp of mind.
We study for the answers to all these wonders but the longer we study the less we know. Some things are not for man to know. Like how you created the world God, how you crafted life from dirt, or the truths that is inside the Bible written by the profits so many years ago.
Some things man needs to just have faith in God. And all of us here at the United Friends Organization Free Band Club place all our faith in you God. We know you are the omnipotent Creator of all life. Because the Bible tells us it is so.
We believe that your only son, your splitting image in Heart, walked on this Earth, and died on this Earth, and was resurrected on this Earth, before returning to heaven to be with you Almighty God.
Because the Bible tells us it is so.
We know that the reason Jesus came in that time was to redeem all of us sinners here on this planet, and to give all the generations after that, a chance to be given Salvation from that selfless act at Calvary that you endured for us all Jesus. And the Bible tells us all about it Jesus.
We are sinners, and we do commit sin. We are human and we live in a world very different from the world that Jesus lived in. The moral standards of today are equal to the morals of people who God wiped off the face of the Earth. The sin that was contained to single cities has now evolved to the entire planet, so now will God destroy the Earth?
We live in a nation that at chewing at the reigns of Liberty, and trying to get rid of every instance of God that remains here. When we finally lose Gods affection, when we finally manage to drive you away God, will it then be time for the ruler of the Earth Satan to reign?
I believe that is exactly where we are headed as well as many other nations and millions of other people who will soon know how it feels like to live in a world that God no longer looks down on.
When the Son no longer shines, will it be the end of mankind?
God forgive us as individuals, forgive us as a nation, have mercy on us for greed and rage has filled out hearts, and selfishness is at an all time high, people worship money not you God, and I ask you to have mercy on us all God.
Thank you for Jesus Christ, for the sacrifice He gave at Calvary, His work was not in vain. Millions of us do believe in you, and want you to be with us Father, and we want you to know that we love you.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen

Meeting # 314 September 2, 2009
Our Father Jesus.
We all live in desperate and dangerous times. When we feel as if our lives are in danger we should all turn to the book of Psalms Chapter 91. Where we all are reminded that all things that we experience, God is with us. Jesus always let us be reminded of these words.
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
Amen

Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/02/2009

Meeting # 315 September 3, 2009
Almighty God,
We all realize that you have a plan for success in our lives, and that you never intend for anyone to fail. If only we can all learn to lean on you God for everything, and put our total trust in you father.
We must not consider our plans, our own, but instead: we must lean on you Father for understanding of all the things that make up our lives in Jesus.
Set us all down a path that is riotous and let us all understand that the wages of sin are Death, but the glorification of God in all things brings Salvation and happiness, even in times of trouble or strife.
Let us always Honor you Almighty Father in Heaven as the giver and taker of all things, and only with you is there survival to you glory God.
I know you love us God, Jesus Christ my redeemer is the Living Proof of That, oh yes God I do believe that Jesus Lives, and He is right beside you sitting on a throne of everlasting love and I also believe that He has left a counselor for me to confide in, when He returned to you in Heaven after his resurrection God.
I want to know the Holy Spirit, so that I might know you God, and as I will know The Christ as well. For the Bible Jesus said “If you know me, then you know my father. God you know me and then you know I deliberate on You day and night, and I do fear you God, I do.
Proverbs 3:5-12
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
God I know that success is conditional. I also know that you won't help us achieve goals that are outside your will. I know that your ultimate plan is to transform us into the image of Jesus Christ, which is a rare kind of success indeed. Have faith that you have already mapped out the perfect plan to get me from where I am to becoming a firstfruit of a spiritual life.
In the name of Jesus Christ who has set us all free!
Amen!
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/03/2009

Meeting # 316 September 04, 200

God our Father,
We praise your name tonight.
It seems that now that my spirit is strengthening, that you aren’t the hard to find God. When I first became saved I thought I would never find you.
But now I realize you are anywhere there is love.
We see you in Childs smile, and in a beautiful sunset.
You're in the winds that blow and the smell of freshly baked goods in the morning time. You are in the flowers that blow and in every blade of grass, and I know when I see the stars twinkle at night you are signaling me from afar that you still love me god.
Life is such a precious gift and still remains the largest mystery to man.
We know all about organisms’ and biologically speaking we know every element the entire world consist of , practically, but we still don’t know what makes the seed pop open and become life.
All of the glory of things belong to you father, and I want to thank you for sharing them with us.
We would be lost without you God, and there are still a huge number of people left in America that know you and your son Jesus Christ, and we are blessed because of your love God.
As a child ask their father to explain something, we ask that you allow the Holy Spirit to explain to us, what you expect form us God.
Which path you want us to take, and to better understand the plan you have for each and every one of us Father.
Let us all be aware of the Evil times in which we live.
2 Timothy 3
Godlessness in the Last Days
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

As we walk through these for warned times let us keep Strength through Jesus Christ our Savior. Allow the councilor the Holy Spirit to guide us in a path that is righteous and pleasing to you Father.
1 Peter 4:11
11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. AMEN.
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/04/2009

Meeting #317 Sept. 5, 2009 Galatians 6:7-10
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
God our Holy Father, the truth is clear in this passage that when we do positive things we reap positive things, but when we practice Evil, that Evil will abound in us.
We need to treat each other with respect, even if we do not personally like the person, even if that individual wrongs us continually.
This is a very difficult task for me for everyone, because it is our nature to return hate for hate, instead of trading love for hate. But if we give in to our flesh and retaliate, we are sowing seeds of corruption, and in due time, we will reap accordingly.
On the other hand, treating someone well--even after he has been unkind--will profit us. According to Scripture, we are "sowing to the Spirit" and will reap rewards. Obedience in this situation will facilitate forgiveness, build character, and develop endurance. No matter what the other person does, we always win when we walk obediently before the Lord.
Think of relationship challenges as a chance for unbelievers to witness God's love in action. With His help, you can sow seeds of love, joy, and peace that will yield a rich harvest for your own life as well as for the other person. You'll also avoid the ill effects that come from harboring bitterness and anger.
Proverbs 12:14
14 From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.
God gives us all the Strength through the Lord Jesus Christ, that we can endure with our souls intact…Blessed is He who can forgive and forget.
Let Love be our guide, for wherever there is Love, There also we will find God.
In the Name of Jesus I pray,
AMEN
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/05/2009

Meeting #318 September 6, 2009 Our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all you give us every day. We in the UNITED FRIENDS ORGANIZATION have all been blessed richly Lord, and we know that you supply all we have. Your love for us is evident in the way you always provide for us God. We praise you God for your gift of eternal life through Salvation from Jesus. And we all understand how fortunate we are that you care for us enough to give your only Son to the Cross that we might get another chance to prove we can be worthy of your love God. Lord I know I am a sinner.I try to do a little better each day to win the battle for my soul, and if you take my hand Jesus and walk with me, I know I will not stumble. Every day is a battle Lord, and since I accepted you as my savior, things haven't been easy. I don't remember reading any text in the Bible that said it was supposed to be easy either. To the contrary there seems to be a lot of trials placed against Christians who pick up the cross and follow you. Frankly Jesus I don't claim to understand how you work your miracles and sometimes the changes you make in me, take a long time to even see for myself, or I might be in distress and wonder why it seems you are not answering my prayers. Jesus it seems your time table and my time table don't always connect, but I have faith in you Jesus. I know you love me and care for me, and if I submit to you, and hand you my Big Problems, you will take care of me, on your time.That's OK with Me Jesus; after all you’re the boss, not I. No matter what happens Jesus I will always Love you, and I will try my very best to be all I can be for JC. Jesus, we all believe you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world.Thank you for coming to Earth and dying so that we could have eternal life.Please forgive all our sins. We are going to follow you with our lives now.Please fill us with Your Holy Spirit and direct our steps.Thank you for giving us Salvation Lord,
John 3: 16-20
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit we pray:
Amen.
Rev. Robert D. Wright 10/6/2009

Meeting # 319 September 7, 2009
Jesus Christ our Savior:
We gather here tonight as friends and brothers and we share a common belief in you Jesus.
As we learn more about each other over time we learn to appreciate one another’s differences. On this channel it is easy to get to know one another closely, and it feels good t have so many dependable friends.
You often instructed the Disciples to teach love toward their fellow man, and to witness and testify to everyone about you Jesus.
I try to get everybody out here more involved in the testifying part Lord but I am just happy that everyone takes time out of their day, to be here. We have always tried to be friends to one another, but there will be times when we hit bumps in the road, but Lord Jesus if we follow the rule you laid out in John 15 concerning love, we would be able to forgive, forget and move on with our lives.
John 15 9-17
9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands; you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other.
So there it is, Love each Other. These simple three words carry the biggest message that Jesus Christ had broadcast to everyone when He was still with us. Love each other. If we can learn to do that, than forgiveness and honor, and courtesy and kindness, respect and understanding also will be with you. All of these ingredients also cover about every one of the Ten Commandments as well, because if you love one another, you will not judge, you will not steal, you will not lie, you will honor your parents, and you will love God and put no one or nothing above him or The Christ or the Holy Spirit. As we continue down our path let us trust in God’s promises, and strive to know the Holy Spirit which Jesus left here for us to console with.
John 15 -26
26"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
The Holy Spirit is with us Jesus, and He speaks to our hearts continuously. We will open our hearts and follow him to you and Heaven.
Let love be our guide, for where there is love, there you will find God.
Amen
Rev Robert D. Wright 09/07/2009

Meeting # 320 September 8, 2009
Jesus our Holy Father as we gather tonight: let us all sow the seeds of love and friendship. We pray for long lasting relationships and guidance from the Holy Spirit.
We must be aware that Lucifer is always near us, mingling up near us like weeds on a tree, and if we are not careful to be on the lookout, those vines will choke us out, and cause us to die without ever achieving our glory.
The glory I speak of is the Glory of Everlasting Shining Light, where our souls will meet with Jesus, and we will reign forever.
Jesus often used Parables to describe certain things to us, and the Parable of the Weeds is a good Example of Christ warning us to be aware of the evil that weaves itself around our spirits like a vine or a weed.
Matthew 13 24 thru 29
The Parable of the Weeds
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'
28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
The Jesus offered the Solution to the Parable, but most of us Christians have already understood its meaning because the Holy Spirit sets beside each of us tonight.
Matthew 13 36 thru 43
The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
To do the biding of God Almighty, we must remain likened to that of his son Jesus Christ. We must always try to do what’s right, to be good to one another, to love one another, and to offer a hand to a brother in need. Evil is everyone’s challenge, and it is easier to fight the good fight when you know you have a lot of friends fighting the same Demons you are.
Love is the key to salvation, to love each other as Jesus loved us, for wherever you find Love there also you will find God.
In the name of Savior Jesus Christ, I pray in awe and all reverence to you Lord:
Amen

Meeting #321 Prayer September 9, 2009
Jesus Christ we worship you tonight as a group. A group of caring Christians who keep faith in the words of God: the words of the Holy Bible.
Doubt is a normal human reaction to anything we cannot see, or touch, or witness for ourselves, it is also one the destructive forces that has driven so many people away from believing in you Father.
When we struggle in life, when we are sick, or times are tough, we have doubt. We doubt that things will get better; we doubt that we will be well soon, we doubt that anybody cares. It is normal to be filled with doubt, but it can also be an instrument the Devil uses to tear you down. His only goal is to make you fear, to give you instability, and ultimately see you fail.
We must always be sure that Jesus is the true Son of the One and Only God... He is the same man that was crucified in great agony at Calvary, and the same man that was resurrected three days later, and returned to Heaven, the place we would all like to eventually end up.
Thomas one of Jesus’ disciples also had doubt. He refused to believe that Jesus had actually risen from the dead, because He had little faith, and did not listen to all Jesus had taught him when he was with him.
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
30Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
Chapter 29 really said it all: 29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
It is a blessing for certain to believe in Jesus Christ. Just because he will not appear to you, or answer your every request, He will give to the faithful anything that is ask in his name. Jesus we worship you savior, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, you are the Alpha and the Omega, the Giver and the Taker of all things, as all things you have authority over here on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/09/2009

Meeting # 322 September 10, 2009

Jesus our Father,
We are thankful for your great compassion and enduring patience; that you do not treat us as our sins deserve but with your never-ending mercy.
From everlasting to everlasting your love is with those who walk with you, who keep your covenant and obey your precepts.
In thanksgiving we lift our voices of praise from grateful hearts, we praise you, our blessed Savior.
Whether in seasons of prosperity or in seasons of want we find your grace sufficient to meet each one of our needs.
You guide us, protect us, and you provide for us as we journey here below.
Every good and perfect gift comes from your hand.
Psalm 86 A prayer of David.
1 Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
14 The arrogant are attacking me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life— men without regard for you.
15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me; grant your strength to your servant and save the son of your maidservant.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
If the name of our Glorious Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ I pray tonight with joy,
AMEN
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/10/2009

Meeting #323 September 11, 2009

Jesus our Heavenly Father,
Tonight’s praying starts with the teachings of the prophet James.
James 1:19-20- 19My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires
Jesus we know that anger can destroy relationships and even divide groups of people, based solely on anger. When we keep anger inside the anger often turns into resentment, and when left unfixed can then boil over into an explosive expression of rage that hurts not only the intended recipient but others as well.
While we can think of many reasons to justify our anger, the only viewpoint that matters is the Lord's. From the book of Proverbs, we can gain insight into how God views angry people. He says they act foolishly
Proverbs 14:17
17 A quick-tempered man does foolish things, and a crafty man is hated.
Proverbs 15:18
18 A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.
Proverbs 29:22
22 An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins.
Proverbs 22:24
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered,
Proverbs 14:29
29 A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.
Proverbs 29:8
8 Mockers stir up a city, but wise men turn away anger.
Proverbs 29:11
11 A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.
Proverbs 20:3
3 It is to a man's honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.
James knew how quickly his own tongue could condemn him when he wrote this in
James 3:5-6
5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
Tonight is the anniversary of 911, where many American lives were lost, because of anger and hatred that exist between two very different thinking people. Nobody had to die that day Lord, but men have let hatred completely control them, then they try to say that they do it all in your name God. We all know that you never approved of or ordained the deaths of 3000 Americans God, so we as Americans know that for the Radical Groups in the World who want to kill us, only do so because Satan has fueled their hate for us.
Jesus our anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires for us, nor does it fit who we are in You Savior. Jesus we know you forgave us of our sins at Calvary so that we could be free from hatred and anger.
Our anger is usually a self defense mechanism we use to cover up the truth, which is truly the root of the problem. We would be better served to come to you Jesus that you might help us deal with the causes before the rage sets in. If God has convicted us of unrighteous anger, let us confess our sin to you Jesus Christ and allow the Spirit to reproduce your character in us.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
REV. Robert D. Wright 09/11/2009

Meeting # 324 September 12, 2009
Jesus our Father,
We gather tonight to worship you aloud. We want everyone to know who is our love, who it is that provides for us and cares enough for us to give his very life for us. Let us not be wicked and carry a heavy burden on our hearts, but instead may we rejoice out loud, Jesus Christ Lives! Halleluiah!
Let us try to avoid our old ways, and be happy that Jesus loves us all!
The very first book of Psalms speaks of a man being like that of a well planted tree, planted by the stream, with strong roots, and bearing much fruit. Let us read the Holy Bible, the word of our Almighty God daily, so that we to can be planted deep into the knowledge of our wonderful creator.
Psalms 1-1-6
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Jesus watch over us and guide us and when we find trouble take our hands and lead us in a direction that pleases God.
Thank you my sweet savior for saving a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I’m found, I was blind but now I see.
By the power of you Amazing Grace Jesus you have delivered me to another dawn, thank you Lord.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/12/2009

Meeting #325 September 13, 2009
God Almighty,
Tonight I pray that things will get better. That people can learn to love one another, be forgiving, and always extend a hand to others in need.
Getting rid of our anger is very hard to do sometimes, but if left unchecked it will cause us to fall short of your glory Father.
The Apostle Paul wrote these words concerning getting rid of our anger.
Ephesians 4:26-32
26"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. 28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Let us also in our new forgiving nature try harder to have the strength to live up to the standards that god has set for us to live.
Ephesians 4:1
Unity in the Body of Christ
1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Ephesians 5:1
1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
God most of us out here are adults and know what is right and what is wrong, but sometimes we get caught up in situations that lead us to sin again. Whenever I am unsure what is right and wrong I turn to
Galatians 5:19-21
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
I remind myself it is far easier to hate than it is to love, but in the absence of love there will be these sinful natures, and though it is far hardy to forgive sometimes than to fight, I know God you would not have me act like that.
Galatians 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
God help me to rid myself of my past, so I may begin anew in Jesus Christ: your only son and my only redeemer, the Holy Savior.
2 Corinthians 5:17
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
Let us all rejoice friends for we have been given a second chance to live forever!
In the name of God I pray for peace and resolutions tonight:
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/13/2009

Meeting # 326 September 14, 2009
Lord Jesus,
You are the Divine Physician, and the source of all life and health. Guide American nation at this critical moment, as American government seeks health care reforms. Give American elected officials the humility to know that they are servants, not masters. Give them the wisdom to realize that every life has equal value. Give them the strength to resist the idea that some lives can be sacrificed to save others or that killing the unborn is a part of health care. Give people the courage to speak up and to hold public officials accountable for their actions. Save us, Lord Jesus, from a culture of death, and let every reform in our public policy be based on the reform of our hearts and minds in the light of your Gospel, for you are Lord forever and ever.
The last two verses of a very Famous Song sum it up this way.

O beautiful for glory-tale of liberating strife When once and twice, for man's avail Men lavished precious life! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till selfish gain no longer stain The banner of the free! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till nobler men keep once again Thy whiter jubilee!
Let Americans gain control of Freedom before it is no longer an option.
In the name of Jesus I pray!
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/14//2009

Meeting # 327 September 15, 2009
God Almighty,
It is really great to have good friends and here in this assembly we are truly friends.
We need good friends to lean on to get by, but we should always remember our best friend is God himself. God invites honestly from his friends. We can be - must be - transparent. And God not only tolerates us shooting straight, he honors it. When we know where we stand with him - as intimate friends - we can bring all our pains, sorrows, troubles, desires and passions. Friendship welcomes truth. As God's friends we can pray without reserve. David understood this. Here are verses 2-4 from Psalm 143, one of David's many "honest-to-God" lyrics.
Don't put your servant on trial, for no one is innocent before you.My enemy has chased me. He has knocked me to the ground and forces me to live in darkness like those in the grave.I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear.
Take a bold step in prayer today. Lay out the honest problems, in all their ugly detail. Your friendship with God allows you this honor. Like David, you may feel like you are "losing all hope." You may be "paralyzed with fear." Say so! Tell God. He's your friend! And he's a friend who can do something about it.
Lean not on your own understanding, but in all things acknowledge God.
In the name of God the Master and creator of all of the Universe I pray,
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/15//2009

Meeting # 328 September 16, 2009
Jesus Christ our Father,
We have gathered tonight to here an encouraging word, to spread your word Father.
We have a heavy challenge as Christians and it is not easy to be good all the time. But I know and I tell all my friends every night to have faith in you Lord, that we will be rewarded for all our troubles.
John 14
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."
Lord we know you are the Redeemer of all mankind, and that you set at the right hand of God almighty. I myself have speculation and anxiety about the future, but I do put all my hope and faith and trust in you Jesus.
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
28"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Jesus we rejoice your victory over Death, and your resurrection, lead the Holy Spirit into our Hearts Jesus, so that we might be shielded from sin, and find redemption and everlasting life.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/16//2009

Meeting #330 September 18, 2009
Oh Heavenly Father,
Hollowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom Come, thine will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. You give to us daily all of our needs are met. Your generosity abounds. Let as all give thanks to your absolute generosity God, and let us all recognize you as the omnipotent force of all Life.
Let us as Christians also be generous. Maybe we cannot provide money or possessions to help out; we might be in need of such things ourselves. But we can give Love to one another, and share the message of your Son and my sweet savior Jesus Christ.
We know you want us to be a cheerful giver. And to give what we have in service of you father, is a goal we all need to seek. Let us share our gift of everlasting life with everyone who will hear our voices. May Jesus Christ hold them close and secure them from hunger and harm, ask the Lord God to help them, He is always willing to give someone the love you send them.
We all know that where ever we find love, there also we will find you father.
2 Corinthians 9: 6-15
Sowing Generously
6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. 10Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
It truly is a indescribable gift, salvation. No one knows what is in store for us all when Jesus Calls us to be with him from the grave. But one thing we can be sure of, according to scripture, it will be the exact opposite of the world we live in. A beautiful world without a sun or a moon or stars, because the light from Almighty God will emanate: to light our way forever.
By the grace of God I bring you all these tidings of joy tonight, go forth and be generous and share everything you know about Jesus Christ with everyone else.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/18/2009

Meeting #331 September 19, 2009
Jesus our Father blessed is thy name.
We sing raises to you all day long, you name is on our tongues, let us not fear but instead let gladness fill our weary hearts for Jesus Christ Lives Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
Psalm 96
1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his [a] holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
12 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;
13 they will sing before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth.
We will be glad as we suffer, we will be thankful when we have not, we will remember your past blessings Lord Jesus, and take understanding in our persecutions, as a way to bring us closer to the Father.
You gift is magnificent and never ending Love, we are truly thankful Jesus,
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/19/2009

Meeting # 332 September 20, 2009

Heavenly Father,
We praise you as a group tonight. We are a group of close friends that care about one another, and look out for one another all the time.
The World we live in is rough sometimes and everyone needs a friend to lean on sometimes.
I am hoping you will bless all who are out here tonight, to their families to their friends.
I also wanted to say a few words for Tom Cat who recently had to let his wife go to the father. He is my friend and I want him to know we all care about him, and his family, and how He is dealing with this tragedy. So I am going to pray for him now Jesus.
Lord Jesus Christ,you comforted your disciples when you were going to die:now set our troubled hearts at restand banish our fears.You are the way to the Father:help us to follow you.You are the truth:bring us to know you.You are the life:give us that life,to live with you now and forever.
Lord, we pray for those who mourn,for parents and children,friends and neighbors.Be gentle with them in their grief.Show them the depths of your love,a glimpse of the kingdom of heaven.Spare them the torment of guilt and despair.Be with them as they weep beside the empty tomb of our risen Savior,Jesus Christ our Lord
My Friends, There is no greater sense of security than to know that you're going to heaven when you die. You can know that today because you have trusted Jesus to take you there.
May we all meet again someday under the Tree of Life in that Place of Glory called Heaven.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/20/2009

Meeting # 333 September 21, 2009

Our Father Jesus,
Our hearts are filled with joy, because we all know about how much you love us.
We awake every day to face a new day of challenges, but if you hold out hands father somehow it will all work out. I
No greater love has anyone ever had for another human being than that day you marched to Calvary to be crucified.
Because of you omnipotent strength and faith in your father, our God, we now have a chance to be with you forever.
God knows each of us, we cannot hide anything. When you are busted red handed, there is nothing you can do, but fess up, face your crime, and accept your punishment. The same applies to God. God is always watching everything.
He knows all before it is even conceived, and He certainly knows what goes on inside our heads, so no point in hiding anymore, face up to your sins, ask the Lord Jesus Christ your savior to forgive you before the sands of time no longer flow for you.
Do not take Salvation for granted, instead believe in it, and strive for it, in everything you do. Be as much like Jesus Christ as you possibly can and do not lean on your own understanding, but instead read the Holy Bible and the answers you seek will be reviled to you.
Do not have little faith; instead replace that with Joy and trust and the knowledge that you are going to be in Paradise.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/21/2009

Meeting # 336 September 24, 2009

AlabamaJudge
Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote. It's below his picture.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama .... Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer.

He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama!

The judge's poem sums it up quite well.

America the beautiful,or so you used to be.Land of the Pilgrims' pride;I'm glad they'll never see.Babies piled in dumpsters,Abortion on demand,Oh, sweet land of liberty;your house is on the sand.Our children wander aimlesslypoisoned by cocainechoosing to indulge their lusts,when God has said abstainFrom sea to shining sea,our Nation turns awayFrom the teaching of God's loveand a need to always prayWe've kept God in ourtemples, how callous we have grown.When earth is but His footstool,and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a governmentthat's rotting at the core,Appointing Godless Judges;who throw reason out the door,Too soft to place a killerin a well deserved tomb,But brave enough to kill a babybefore he leaves the womb.You think that God's notangry, that our land's a moral slum?How much longer will He waitbefore His judgment comes?How are we to face our God,from Whom we cannot hide?What then is left for us to do,but stem this evil tide?If we who are His children,will humbly turn and pray;Seek His holy faceand mend our evil way:Then God will hear from Heaven;and forgive us of our sins,He'll heal our sickly landand those who live within.But, America the Beautiful,If you don't - then you will see,A sad but Holy Godwithdraw His hand from Thee.
~~Judge Roy Moore~~

Meeting #337 September 25, 2009

Oh Heavenly Father.
We all gain comfort in knowing that your love for us all here on Earth is magnificent.
But we also understand that even though you love us we still stand separated from you, unless we have accepted you Jesus Christ, as our Savior.
Because the Father cares so much for mankind, He did offer us a plan to be fully accepted by Him.
Salvation is a free deal offered to anyone and everyone, but you must accept it to benefit from the plan. . By the death of Christ on our behalf, the Lord opened the door for us to be saved, but He does not push anyone through.
Imagine we are in the jungle and you have fallen into quicksand. I throw you a rope, but you do not accept my rescue. You decide to get out of the mess you are in on your own. In the same way, God made every provision for your salvation, but you must respond to His offer. Just as the trapped in quicksand man must reach out for the rescue rope, so each of us need to reach out in Faith, believing that you died for us Jesus.
A trapped and lost man will not be saved merely because he knows I am standing close by with the rope, in case all else fails.
We must trust in you Jesus all the time, placing all our faith and trust in you twenty four hours a day, and depend on you and you alone Jesus.
We know that simply relying on the fact that God loves us is not enough, and we also know The Spirit is reaching out to everyone to be saved Lord.
How many will be lost because they did not accept your rescue Lord?
I choose to believe in you Christ, and I surrender my life to you, help me to become a shining light in a world of darkness God, so that all will see that God is Great!
Romans 8: 28-39
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray,
Amen

Meeting # 338 September 26, 2009
James 2:14-18
Faith and Deeds
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
Lord we all are gathering every night to share the word of Jesus. We all have faith and trust in God, and we also need to remember that being a Christian is more than just a word. It is a complete way of life. Jesus you want us to share in fellowship and testimony but also Lord you expect us to look out for the needs of the less fortunate.
We should all be in a real church, and I believe we should all be tithing the church. But some of us do not attend a formal church and we instead think of the UFOFREEBANDCLUB as our church, and with that in mind, we should all be willing to look out for one another, and to share with our brothers.
Sharing is a word that can mean many things. To share a physical goods, money, clothing, food, to Share the word of Jesus, a very important and expected part of our charge, and sharing someone else’s pain or hurt, to comfort another, our to share kindness, to share friendships, to love another person when it is needed, is also another way to show God we are good Christians.
Tomorrow we will all get together and share a meal, another nice way to spend good times with Godly people, who want to be together, to share with one another.
Let us be reminded that always keeping our Christian guard up, when we are apart, and to always emulate the peace that God has given your spirit since Jesus Christ accepted you and washed away your sins.
I want to personally thank Mark the club Vice President for all his efforts, to once again make sure we have a successful outing together.
Mark is a very special friend to us all, and the Holy Spirit usually is sitting on his shoulders, even though sometimes Mark’s not so sure about that, I am sure of it.
We are going to have a good time tomorrow Jesus.
We have seen the weather forecast and as I predicted when we first talked about this Picnic, that it would be a glorious day!
You are always behind The Ufofreebandclub Jesus, because you know we always keep our hand in your Hand Father.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright September 26, 2009

Meeting #339 September 27, 2009
Our Heavenly Father Jesus,
Today was really nice Jesus, and we owe everything to you.
Everybody had a good time and shared in a great meal and fellowship and the weather was as I knew it would be Jesus, Just right.
We had a wonderful time Jesus, and we know you are always the positive force that joins with us when we are together.
We are all becoming more like you every day Father, and we understand the rewards that will be ours, for our convictions.
The Bible states the truth concerning our savior in
Philippians 2:5-11
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Almighty Jesus Christ our Savior how we worship you above all others Lord.
Bless every member of our club, those who could make it today and those who could not. Watch over each one Father, brother one and all.
Thanks once again to Mark our generous Vice President for donating not only his time, but also his efforts and his money to make today another successful gathering of the UNITED FRIENDS ORGANIZATION FREE BAND CLUB, we all love Mark very much.
Thank you for guiding us and leading us down a path of righteousness, for your name sake Jesus.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright September 27, 2009

Meeting #340 September 28, 2009

Fellow Ufofreebandclub.com members:
We are approaching our 1 year anniversary of this club, and although we haven’t really grown in size over the last year, we haven’t really gotten any smaller either.
God watches over us here and I think most of you. Like myself have seen the miracles this past year, that have occurred in various members lives, and we all have so very much to be thankful for.
Our God is so Powerful, He is control of every moment of our lives, and even though our faith in God may sometimes wavier, God’s love for us always stays the same.
This next year of the club I predict increasing resistance from the Devil, and pain and suffering for many. But I also predict that through all our trials that we will remain convicted, and chosen to be children of Jesus Christ.
We will inherit Eternal Life for all our trials and tribulations, just as Paul suffered greatly for his faith in God, so also should we expect the heat to be turned up by the Evil one.
Speaking of the Hardships of the Apostle Paul He wrote some very interesting words concerning all of his hardships.
2 Corinthians 6
1As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. 2For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you."I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Paul's Hardships
3We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. 4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; 5in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; 6in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; 7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 8through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; 9known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; 10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
Lord a lot of us do possess almost nothing in this World, but we have been promised a second life with you in heaven. Let us never forget that the rewards for faith extremely out way the rewards you seek here in this time. Nothing will be able to compare to Heaven, no experience will ever thrill more than to stand with and hold the hand of our Father Jesus Christ. Let our sorrows be rewarded, let our tears wash away our past, let us all make a new beginning with Jesus Christ, He truly Loves us.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 09/28/2009

Meeting #341 September 29, 2009
Our Father who art in Heaven,
We all here give thanks to you tonight. We know that every day that passes we get closer and closer to the Day of the Lord. S we move closer to that time so does our trials that the Devil places on our backs, to try to sway us from salvation on that day. This, the final day for mankind, when fire and brimstone will consume what’s left of this earth, and a day when Jesus will once again be the Supreme and unquestioned Leader of Earth, and all of its inhabitants.
As our pains increase to do what is pleasing to God while we are still here on Earth, let us try not to get to wrapped up in worldly things, but instead let us fight Evils fire, with the fire of Jesus Christ our savior.
2 Peter 3
3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
Yes Jesus we are all looking forward to that day.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Savior I pray tonight.
Amen

Meeting #342 September 30, 2009
Oh Heavenly Father Jesus Christ,
We are nothing without you. Your love is abundant for those who have not turned a deaf ear to you. You are our power and our peace and with your blessing we have received another day of life. May we always be ever thankful for you gracious love father, and for your gift of salvation. We all hope to spend eternity with you.
Psalm 28
Of David.
1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.
2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve.
5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Carry us forever Jesus, give us your strength to finish this life in a righteous manner, with glory and honor in order to complete our very salvation through Christ Jesus: Amen.

Meeting # 190 May 1/2009 AUDIO LINK
Jesus we all praise you tonight.
We all are doing well and we are sure you are the reason we are ok.
We thank you everything, and we know all things are gifts from you.
Never let us be sad or let the world get us down, we all have the greatest gift of all to be thankful for: Salvation.
Jesus spoke to his disciples when they also had doubts about their future, this is the promise he made to them and to us all:
John 14 1 thru 7
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
4You know the way to the place where I am going."
5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
So let us all rejoice in the promises that God Almighty has made to all of us who keep our hands in the big man’s hands.
And let us also let all our friends know about Jesus, at work, in the public, when we are with enemies or with friends, let us always offer the truth about Jesus Christ!
Dropping the Mall for Jesus is what we call it up here on Channel Forty Six, and everybody in the United Friends Organization is burning rubber for God, Walking the Dog, and Slopping the Hogs, getting up and getting down for Jesus Christ!
Makes me proud to call you all friends, and makes me happy to know that when I die, I will be seeing most of you again.
Because the Bible teaches that I will know you in Heaven, and you will know me. We will be reborn and re-transformed in all of God’s Glory, and we will be together. That alone makes all the toil in this world worthwhile, just knowing we are Heaven Bound!
Amen

Meeting # 192 May 3/2009 AUDIO LINK
Oh Heavenly Father.
We all gain comfort in knowing that your love for us all here on Earth is magnificent.
But we also understand that even though you love us we still stand separated from you, unless we have accepted you Jesus Christ, as our Savior.
Because the Father cares so much for mankind, He did offer us a plan to be fully accepted by Him.
Salvation is a free deal offered to anyone and everyone, but you must accept it to benefit from the plan. . By the death of Christ on our behalf, the Lord opened the door for us to be saved, but He does not push anyone through.
Imagine we are in the jungle and you have fallen into quicksand. I throw you a rope, but you do not accept my rescue. You decide to get out of the mess you are in on your own. In the same way, God made every provision for your salvation, but you must respond to His offer. Just as the trapped in quicksand man must reach out for the rescue rope, so each of us need to reach out in Faith, believing that you died for us Jesus.
A trapped and lost man will not be saved merely because he knows I am standing close by with the rope, in case all else fails.
We must trust in you Jesus all the time, placing all our faith and trust in you twenty four hours a day, and depend on you and you alone Jesus.
We know that simply relying on the fact that God loves us is not enough, and we also know The Spirit is reaching out to everyone to be saved Lord.
How many will be lost because they did not accept your rescue Lord?
I choose to believe in you Christ, and I surrender my life to you, help me to become a shining light in a world of darkness God, so that all must face the reality I am speaking.
Let him who has understanding call upon your name Jesus Christ for forgiveness.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray,
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright 5/3/2009

Meeting # 193 May 04/2009 AUDIOLINK
Oh Jesus Christ our father who lives in heaven,
Tonight we call on your name for mercy.
Give us forgiveness and strength to withstand persecution from evil doers.
Let us always tell everyone about you Jesus Christ and give us courage to offend the offender with love and kindness, which is said in the Bible to be equal to pouring hot coals on the sinners head.
The world rejects us because we are believers in you Jesus, and we may very well be labeled as “Out-Cast” or “Right Wing Extremist” if we say we do want God to Bless America.
Let us realize we are against a great foe with the Devil, and He will always try to cause you to deny Christ especially when the social pressure is on your door step.
Just as Peter denied Christ, after you we arrested in the garden, we also are weak and must remain steadfast in our faith for Jesus Christ and the promised Salvation He will return to deliver to us all who believe in him.
In Mark 14 27- 31 Jesus confronts Peter about his weakness as a human even though He was one of the Lords most faithful followers when He said the following:
27"You will all fall away," Jesus told them, "for it is written:" 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.
28But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."
29Peter declared, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
30"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times."
31But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the others said the same.
But Peter did fail you Jesus when He was in fear of reprisal from the angry mob, He did deny you, just as you had predicted. Still Lord even though at that Moment of denial Peter was so scared He jeopardized his very salvation to avoid confrontation for you Lord, you still forgave him because you know we as humans are very weak spiritually. Only faith in you can help us not to deny you ever, Faith that you are the son of the One True Living God and you died on Calvary to act as my council to Him.
Jesus thank you for giving me strength and courage to come here every night and say “I do believe in Jesus Christ, I do Believe that you are coming back for me, I do believe you have forgiven me for all of my weaknesses, and you have prepared a place for me in Heaven, where I will live all the days of eternity with you. I ask that all my friends also believe it too lord. I also warn them when to going gets tough, to always be ready not to deny you God. In the name of Jesus I pray for Courage through Him:
Amen

Our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all you give us every day. We in the UNITED FRIENDS ORGANIZATION have all been blessed richly Lord, and we know that you supply all we have. Your love for us is evident in the way you always provide for us God. We praise you God for your gift of eternal life through Salvation from Jesus. And we all understand how fortunate we are that you care for us enough to give your only Son to the Cross that we might get another chance to prove we can be worthy of your love God. Lord I know I am a sinner.
I try to do a little better each day to win the battle for my soul, and if you take my hand Jesus and walk with me, I know I will not stumble. Every day is a battle Lord, and since I accepted you as my savior, things haven't been easy.
I don't remember reading any text in the Bible that said it was supposed to be easy either. To the contrary there seems to be a lot of trials placed against Christians who pick up the cross and follow you.
Frankly Jesus I don't claim to understand how you work your miracles and sometimes the changes you make in me, take a long time to even see for myself, or I might be in distress and wonder why it seems you are not answering my prayers. Jesus it seems your time table and my time table don't always connect, but I have faith in you Jesus. I know you love me and care for me, and if I submit to you, and hand you my Big Problems, you will take care of me, on your time.
That's OK with Me Jesus; after all you’re the boss, not I. No matter what happens Jesus I will always Love you, and I will try my very best to be all I can be for JC. Jesus, we all believe you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
Thank you for coming to Earth and dying so that we could have eternal life.
Please forgive all our sins. We are going to follow you with our lives now.
Please fill us with Your Holy Spirit and direct our steps.
Thank you for giving us Salvation Lord, Amen. Rev. Robert D. Wright 5/5/2009

Meeting # 195 May 6/2009 AUDIO LINK
Almighty God,
Giving my life to Jesus has been a learning experience for me.
I often close my prayers by saying “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but honestly I have never understood the meaning of the third nameless spirit in the Trinity. Thankfully I was recently informed by this same Spirit that He is somebody, not a thing. Examination of the Bible reveals the truth. The Spirit of God has intelligence, will, and emotion.
First Corinthians 2:10-11 explains that the Spirit knows God's thoughts and illuminates the truth for us.
10but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
The Holy Spirit is the one who leads you to your spiritual gifts
First Corinthians (12:7-11) states it this way:
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines
In Romans 15:30, It describes the Holy Spirit’s Love for us all.
30I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
In Ephesians 4:30, which warns against grieving Him.
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Jesus you told us all in John 14:25 of a Helper that would follow you to Earth.
25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
Aiding and assuring others are the acts of a person, as is teaching--the Holy Spirit's primary work. I have always misunderstood the Holy Spirit and I know now that the Holy Spirit is a person not a thing. Just as God is the Father or Jesus Christ is the Son so then the Spirit is a part of the Trinity, and if you are a believer, He is with you now. God has given you His Spirit as a special Helper--one who sticks closer than a brother Proverbs. 18:24. Says
24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Thank you God for understanding that only comes from the third part of you, the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Our Father the creator of the stars, we praise you in all your glory.
From the beginning of time, until the time we live, you have always watched over us believers here on Earth.
Many of us are going through tough times these days God, and as the Government normally do, they have not produced any plans that seem to make any difference to our quality of life here on this planet.
Most of us will work hard all our lives, and try to save up a little nest egg, so we can have security when we are too old to work. But for many of us the quest for money, jobs, financial pressures, after years of dollar deflation, and price inflation, our once flourishing Nation, is now struggling to keep its place in the world as a World Power, and our individual dreams of having money security is quickly fading away.
As knowledge increases, and vast networks and information highways link up, the world is becoming closer together, and greed and hatred spreads almost as fast as populations or technology.
People are moving to and fro and the world is so wrapped up in all of this that no one is just stopping to think, to meditate, to read your words God, to worship the Savior Jesus Christ
Our Governors and Senators act as if they are on a free for all spending spree, and as more companies sell out to the White House, more and more of the American Dream is being sold right along with it.
Jesus we Americans need your help. We want to restore our country the United States of America to the freedom and religious and financial leaders of the world.
We need you intervention Heavenly Father, even though we have turned our backs on God as a nation, and have been lead astray by fancy words and empty promises.
God have mercy on our great Nation, and fill us all with your Holy Spirit, and awaken the Spirit in all of us.
Let us not wait until another building is blown up to love one another and too pull together, let us all pull together now, as the current situation we face as a nation has for bitter consequences than anything anyone in this Nation has ever allowed to happen in our history.
If we are so smart, and we have so much technology, then why it is all the smart men in Washington don’t fear you God.
Are they so ignorant or arrogant that they can sit back and allow the destruction of our nation, without fear of the final judgment that will come to every man?
Do people have any scruples left at all God?
God we need you to love us now more than ever.
We need you to protect us from evil, and protect or Allies, especially Israel, our Long time friend, and you’re chosen people God.
Who will stand with them if our nation is destroyed?
Would not our damnation also be theirs?
Forgive us for our transgression Jesus, and forgive our nation for ignorant and sinful people, may they redeem themselves to you Father.
The seventh verse of the song America the Beautiful sums it all up about America:
O beautiful for glory-taleOf liberating strifeWhen once and twice,for man's availMen lavished precious life!America! America!God shed his grace on theeTill selfish gain no longer stainsThe banner of the free!
Thank you for loving us all, and for blessing us this day, may our country swiftly return to these notions:
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I Pray:
AMEN

Jesus our father,
Hallowed be thy name.
Your work here on Earth has cleared our pathway to heaven, and we glorify your name Jesus.
The entire world belongs to you Father, and you have authority over the Heavens and the Earth.
We know your are the Savior who died on a cross at Calvary, taking with you our sinful ways.
We know you arose from the dead three days later Lord, and returned to be with the Alpha and the Omega the creator of the Stars.
May your holy spirit remain in us until we part from this life, and begin our new eternal life with you in Heaven, Father.
God we trust in you with our lives to do with what you want.
Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Thank you for all of your wonderful blessings God, and for Jesus of Nazarene, for saving us and delivering us from Evil.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray,
Amen

Meeting # 199 May 10/2009

Jesus we call your name tonight, that you might be with us in your spirit.
We all believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and we know that He works in the believer's life. Lord you are very clear that serving God is not a one-man or one-woman show. You told the disciples they would not be ready until they received power from on high Luke 24:49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
Only with the Holy Spirit can the believer live a true Christian Life. He enters your heart the moment you accept Christ as you Savior and remains with you, helping you adapt to your new way of thinking.
When the apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," he was talking about the Holy Spirit's continual presence. Philippians 4:13.
What it all means is the Spirit is a wonderful source for strength and power inside of each and every one of us who are saved. The Spirit is the one who helps you through those terrible times in life that you can’t seem to get through alone, in fact, the Bible says that He can do "far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think" Ephesians 3:20.
I am sure that every one of us hear have seen or heard of miracles many times in our lives. All of those Fantastic stories, of miraculous victory over Evil, and Sickness, and suffering, through the power of Christ.
Remember during those times when it seems like all the odds are against you, the Spirit of God is working new happenings for you, opening new doorways, leading you to new friendships, Godly people, and better times. Within you lies untapped potential -- not your own strength and abilities, but the Holy Spirit's unlimited might. His power will be unleashed in response to your acting on faith. Have faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit who lives within each one of you, they more than anyone, want you to be victorious.
Thank you for your countless blessings God,
Amen

Matthew 9:35-38
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Jesus, today in the World we live in, the workers are few in comparison to the potential Harvest.
More of us need to spread the message throughout the lands, that Jesus Christ Lives, and as promised is coming back to harvest all us believers. When it comes to reaching the lost, all believers are personally responsible.
Jesus said, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you" John 20:21.
It is so easy in the world we live in to not find time to harvest for you Jesus.
As technology increases, and as constant turmoil in the lives of many, blindness from the most important human endeavor, Salvation, has set in.
Matthew 9:27-30
27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"
28When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied.
29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; 30and their sight was restored.
It is Faith that healed them, and it is faith that strengthens us all. Without faith we are not unlike the blind, we cannot see the light, and we cannot get excited about bringing others to you Jesus.
Let us grow with your eternal Spirit, so that we might be a shining light to those who are blinded.
Let us all rejoice for the Lord has prepared a place for us to remain in Heaven. Let us take our friends and neighbors, co-workers and family members with us, for we will know each other in Heaven as we did here on Earth, and we will have all of eternity to know God.
So let the Harvest Begin. Tell someone who is blind about the saving grace that comes only from our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ. Plant the seeds of faith into their hearts and give them hope for more in this life than strife and hopelessness.
Pray to God almighty that He might strengthen your resolve, so you can take on the ARMOR of faith. Preparing yourself for a battle
This battle will begin as soon as you accept Jesus as your Savior.
God will test your faith, He will allow you to experience hardships, and humility, and disappointments. God can deliver you from all of these if your Faith is strong. You will mature with God as the Holy Spirit guides you. Soon you will find yourself involved in the Harvest for Jesus Christ. Take the challenge, and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, and your strength, and your hope will always be with you. You will not always have a easy time trying to do what’s right for God, but Strength is gained as Faith is increased, and soon you will find that what is pleasing to God is also pleasing to you.
Then you will be able and willing to go out and Testify and Harvest others for Jesus Christ.
Thank you Jesus for delivering this message through the Holy Spirit of faith and strength and hope, as you guide each of us to Harvest this Earth for you.
Amen

Jesus our Father who art in Heaven,
We seek comfort from you tonight.
Many people feel like it is hopeless to try to be a good Christian because of the way they live now.
The feel like they are just too bad, too dirty, too rotten to ever have a chance to be saved, so instead they clam up and deny that you exist at all Lord.
These lost souls need to know that you are calling out to embrace them.
Scripture very clearly states that the Lord's desire is for all people to be saved in (1 Tim. 2:3-4).
3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Evil sinner you are never out of reach for God.
God is the creator of all things from the smallest to the most grand, and all things are possible through God who strengthens us all.
Jesus needs Christians willing to share their testimony!
That is why I share this message with you all today.
God is calling out to all men of the Earth to make stead fast your house, get you lives in order, repent and be saved, and testify so that the harvest will be good, and the blessing will fall upon you like manna from the heavens, and you thirst will always be quenched.
Those of you out there who hear my voice, if you are a believer in the Nazarene named Jesus Christ, then you have been commissioned to make disciples for His glory.
(Matt. 28:19-20).
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
For those of you who feel like you are out of God’s reach, don’t be foolish, the creator of the stars knows everything inside your heart, repent to him, and receive his never ending love.
For those of you who already have a father in Jesus, get busy and start telling your story to those willing to listen.
Among them are men and women who will hear what the Lord has done in you and say, "If God can do that for you, He can do it for me too!"
May we all glorify the name of Jesus Christ!
Amen

Our Heavenly Father,
We admire and trust you above all others.
We know you are all knowing, and no-one can hide their thoughts to you.
(John 2:24). 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. 25He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.
(Acts 1:24) "Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen”
(Matthew 9:4). 4Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
There is no one who perplexes Jesus. No thought or action is unintelligible to him. He knows its origin and end. The most convoluted psychotic and the most abstruse genius are open and laid bare to his understanding. He understands every motion of their minds.
Jesus not only knows all people thoroughly as they were and are today, he also knows what people will think and do tomorrow. He knows all things that will come to pass.
(John 18:4). 4Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"
The greatest thing that can be said of Jesus' knowledge is that he knows God perfectly. We know God partially and imperfectly. Jesus knows him like no other being knows him.
(Matthew 11:27). 27"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
All the sciences that scratch the surface of the created universe are the simple compared to Christ's immense knowledge of the created universe. Man's knowledge is nothing compared to the ocean of knowledge that Jesus has of the Being of God himself. God is infinite. The universe is finite. Knowledge of the infinite is infinite. Therefore to know God, as Jesus knows God, is to have infinite knowledge.
Therefore let us bow down and worship Jesus Christ.
Jesus alone is worthy of our trust.
He can show us the Father and give us irresistible wisdom
(Luke 21:15). 15For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
He can see how to make all things work together for our good
(Romans 8:28). 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
None of his judgments about anything is ever mistaken
(John 8:16). 16But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.
He teaches the way of God with infallible truthfulness
(Matthew 22:16) 16They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are.
I say that no one else but Jesus Christ knows you, and watches out for you, He knows all things and he especially knows of the good inside of all of you.
Trust him. Admire him. Follow him.
In the name of Jesus I pray,
AMEN

Meeting # 203 May 14/2009 AUDIO LINK
Our Father who art in Heaven,
Thank you for another day.
We all have so much to be thankful for, and we can see your spirit working in our lives.
Even though we come out here every night, and pray together and spend time together, some of us still are not receiving your messages.
In an earlier pray this year we talked about “installing active clarifiers” on our faith, so we could fine tune in your spirit Jesus.
And those of us out there who still have old bad habits, or nasty dispositions, or like to just downright aggravate others, are not hearing the messages.
Let me tell you, it is better for a man to not be here to hear your messages if He or She have no intentions to tune in and hear the message, than it is for a man to not come here at all.
God wants you to stop pushing people’s buttons, He wants’ you to love your neighbor, not torment him. God has no desire to see you here, if you have no desire to be here.
God wants those who will listen to receive this message, and those who cannot tune in with the spirit, to repent, refocus, re-tune, because you are playing a dangerous game.
Salvation is no game friends, and to be faithful to God’s will, is to follow all of his commandments, especially the Golden rule to treat your neighbor as if He was yourself.
We as a group can move forward for Christ and deliver a strong message to the un-believers, that Love, and Good Will toward men are the doorways to Salvation.
There are those in the world who can hear and see the goodness and even witness it for themselves over and over, but still they cannot tune into the spirit for they are blinded by the Evil one. So they make up their own interpretations, and live in a way that they feel is good, they have not tuned into the spirit therefore the bible holds no in-sight for them at all.
It is well to remember that the Bible for many does not mean what it says, it means what you feel it says, the Bible means what you think it says, it means what your denomination says it says. The Bible can always be adjusted to a denomination mind set.
Such folk are spiritually blind. The real reason for spiritual blindness is in the words of the Apostle Paul in Second Corinthians chapter four when he says, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Do not let the goodness of this club to be made less by the actions of a few. There are always going to be difficult people who take pleasure in humiliating others, in offending others, in making others uncomfortable, but then you will see these same individuals at church on Sunday, without a shred of repentance for the way they have acted before you Jesus.
Do not let these people sway you from your quest to be “All you can be for J.C.”
To not attend the church because they are in the pulpit is exactly the opposite of what you should do. You should go sit there and be yourself, and pray for them, that God might speak to their hearts and bless them for they have not matured in the spirit, and they my friends are sitting on the edge of a mountain, and the soil is shifting, soon the rocks will come crumbling down on them. We as Christians must build our faith on Solid Rock the Rock of Jesus Christ.
Time is running out. The same way you look back and say man these last twenty years went so fast, so will the end of man be, swift, and without fail, without warning.
Before you know it you will be standing before God almighty, and you will have to account for your life. Do not play games with God. Get tuned in and stay on frequency people, because the storms are coming and the signal will become fainter and fainter as this world spirals down to the Pit.
God wants you to repent and be saved, and He wants you to do it now.
John 3-16
For God so Loved the World. That he sent his only Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish: but have ever lasting life.
Is that not a cause worthy of all your efforts?
Jesus loves you, and He loves your enemies too, no one is out of reach from God. He desires for you to be good to one another, not just in church, but all the time, twenty four hours a day seven days a week three hundred sixty five days a year. Don’t play games with your Salvation people; nothing is worth dying without Salvation.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Heavenly Father,
We pray to you tonight to give testimony of all the miracles you have performed in so many people’s lives. Most people feel their life is rather ordinary God, and that they don’t have any real spectacular events to testify about. But people should realize that any time you share testimony of the goodness that God has given to you, you give an un-believe something to believe in.
It might be a simple thing that you know God has done for you, and you should tell others about that small miracle, because life is full of small victories.
To stand up and testify about Jesus Christ and his saving grace on you, to proclaim that the Lord is your Sheppard and you will not want or need, for you trust in the creator to care for you, speaks volumes about your faith and God’s good love.
People listen to their friends more closely than their doctors in a lot of cases, they trust in what their friend has to tell them. Your simple testimony might awaken a spirit in a fellow brother or sister, as they begin to feel the need to confide in Jesus Christ our miraculous savior.
Jesus assures us all that to testify pleases God, and always returns goodness from Heaven.
In Isaiah 55 10 & 11 it speaks of the blessing for testimony.
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Gods spirit is with you when you tell others about Jesus, and the Heavens will rain down Goodness on you, and your words will flourish and grow in the hearts of un-believers, and God’s will be accomplished.
Deuteronomy 11:13-14
13 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul- 14 then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil.

My heavenly Father you have taken me and changed me, and I am in awe of your magnificence. I was a retched sinner, and you forgave me and turned my spirit anew, everything I have is because of your Love.
God may your spirit encourage all to speak out and be bold for Jesus Christ. May your blessings rain down on us all good and faithful followers!
Amen

Meeting #205 May 16/2009 AUDIO LINK

Jesus Christ,
I think I have a bad case of writers block.
I was thinking all day long : what can I talk about tonight, what words can I write that might inspire someone?
How can I write into words how you took me and saved me and forgave me of all my sins and also keep someone’s attention.
What can I say that will make them feel excited about Salvation?
Should I tell them how the Holy Spirit has inspired me to be a web developer, or a writer and speaker of God’s word, or my latest new talent, comic book creator? Or should I tell them all that I knew nothing about any of these wonderful gifts, until you sent the spirit to guide me.
Jesus my Father give me strength to be a good writer, a good speaker, help me to keep your word exciting and fresh, so that I might catch the eye of an unbeliever.
Then as I was praying these words I realized that this is the message. That you can change anyone Jesus, you can give people inner strengths and insights, which were never before realized.
Through your Holy Spirit all things are possible Jesus, and I pray with all my might that this ministry will grow larger and larger, and that more and more people tune into the UFOFREEBANDCLUB and share their testimonies too Lord.
Let everyone who has found blessings relate those experiences to an unbeliever, and let us not fear what to say as I feared writers block today, but instead let the Holy Spirit be your tongue.

As it is said in Mark 13:11whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Or in Luke 12:12for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."

And may we close this pray tonight with another wonderful verse from

2 Corinthians 13:14May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit I Pray,
AMEN

Our Heavenly Father,
I knew the day that I decided to create this club, and to proclaim our basis for foundation was you Jesus Christ, that there were going to be a lot of challenges.
Believers who faithfully share their testimony are sometimes challenged. I do not write this to frighten or silence you. In fact, I encourage you to welcome questions, confrontations, and even persecution. These tests grow your faith and make you a stronger advocate for the Lord.
Sometimes unbelievers question everything you believed. They sometimes even laughed at you or become vindictive or even nasty.
Pray and search the Scriptures for the answers you may not have, and with each verbal skirmish, each run in you may have will help faith flourish. Courageously share the truth that you know.
If challenged, never be afraid to say, "I don't know how to answer this question, but I'm going to find out." Then get in the Word, get on your knees, or get with other believers so you will be more prepared "to give an account of the hope that is in you"
(1 Peter 3:15-17).
13Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear]; do not be frightened."
15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
So when you over hear someone slandering you because you are trying to do God’s work, or you hear about people who slander your name, or talk down about you, while you stand in the light of Jesus Christ, be glad, because the Devil is so upset about not reaching you, that he is employing others to team up against you.
He is absolutely frustrated that you remain godly even under fire. That He will try almost anything to shut you up, for every victory for you, means a loss for Satan.
Give all your glory to God, and He will fortify you and give you all the strength you need to fight even the world’s most evil advisory, and win the battle, because God also sends the Holy Spirit to be on your Team.
So do not be dismayed, instead celebrate because you have the Devil jumping through hoops to try to bring you disgrace.
1 Peter 3:8-12 also reminds us how to fight these challenges in a way that is pleasing to God.
8Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. 9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
10For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. 11He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. 12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
Thank you Jesus for delivering us all from Evil, and help us to understand being a Christian is an uphill climb, and every step endures effort on our part.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

God in Heaven we praise you tonight..
I know as a sinner I cannot make it in this world without your love.
I know when I face a crisis in my life, that you will use your divine influence to change the chorus of things, as long as I come to you with a righteous heart. You know I cannot live a perfect life, no man can, but I know that when I turned to Jesus Christ for salvation that he cleansed my heart and gave to me a new nature. (2 Corinthians 5:17) say’s
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
Yet even believers will back slide and still wonder back into old sinful ways. We must repent and confess with our mouths to Jesus Christ and he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9-10)
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
Thankfully He still hears us as we are sinners, as long as we truly desire to walk his path. But I know I cannot knowingly live in sin, and choose not to turn from it because the Lord will not hear an unrepentant heart.
Cry out to God when trials and tribulations are upon you. Pray to him passionately with sincerity. (Psalm 34:15-17) say :
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
Almighty God I beseech all my friends to cry out to you when their hearts are troubled, cry out when they need your strength, cry out to you with a righteous heart and you will supply a solution, or an alternative plan, because your are All Powerful, Loving and Sovereign, and we fully trust that you will do what is best for our lives.
We thank you God for giving us another powerful message, about your awesome everlasting Love.
Amen

Meeting # 208 May 19, 2009
Jesus our father,
I come to you tonight a sinner, and ask for your forgiveness,
I am trying to be the best person I can be, and I know you are always there for me.
I know sometimes things happen in people’s lives that may not affect them directly, but never the less hits pretty close to home. And I am not talking about times of National crisis either; I am talking about when hard luck affects your neighbor, or friend, or someone at work, never feel as though a prayer to Jesus will not help them. Never let Satin lie to you and tell you that your single voice is not going to make a difference.
Pray is always heard by you Father, and when we come to you with a spiritual heart, you will intercede on our behalf, even if the request is for the guy down the street that we don’t personally know, but feel badly for their situation.
James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Almighty God we know you are able to heal us, and bring us inner peace, and we know that all things are possible through Jesus Christ who strengthens us all.
In Philippians 4:6 it states:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
So let us all share everything with you God, our inner most feelings are laid open for you to see. We know that according to the scriptures that when we ask for in the Name of Jesus, and we ask it with a righteous heart, that God Almighty in person will hear our prayers.
Psalm 66:18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
Whenever you hear of a terrible thing or tragedy that affects people you don’t even know, do not let Satin lie to you about how you cannot make any difference. You can make a difference and have a startling impact on the lives of others, when you pray to God for his help and his mercy.
Love thy neighbor as if he were you, treat him as you want to be treated, Pray to God for Help when he needs help.
Jesus thank you for filling me with your holy spirit so that I may pray with my friends tonight, you are in everything Lord.
Amen

Almighty God,
Today I read a simple scripture, that has so much reality and truth in it that I feel I need to pray with all my friends about it.
Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.”
God this simple verse tells it all. We as men and women will all have to face death.
Then all of us weather saint or sinner will have to stand before you and make an account for our lives we had here on Earth.
You will judge us all and decide whether or not we are worthy to be in your presence or weather we are to remain in Hell with Satin.
People today seem so wrapped up in worldly things that they have forgotten this simple verse “It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.”
Why else would there be so much sin and un- rest in the world.
This generation we live in are blinded by populations, and greed, drugs, and sex, homosexuality, and murder, violence, war and crime. Trying to pay bills and stay afloat, fighting road rage and hostility all the time. So the generation we live in is blinded to the scriptures.
I recently ask a young man if He had accepted Jesus as his savior, and nervously he laughed and said “God is a Fable, a Fairy Tale made up to give hopeless people hope.”
So this is the sentiment of the Now Generation.
Today we have more people in the world than ever before, but at the same time fewer and fewer people are hearing the gospel, they are blind to the scriptures, and sin is all around them.
So after examining the statement made that God is just a tale for hopeless people, I realized that He and millions of others just like him are the hopeless. They never heard about you God, Their parent were too busy getting high instead of sharing the message of Jesus Christ and his gift to mankind at Calvary. Their schools won’t allow them to worship you, and they are under the social pressures of all the other hopelessly lost souls to conform, be like the rest of the masses, to just go with the flow, use condoms and practice safe sex, to experiment with drugs or to get drunk, to steal or peddle dope, to work religiously, and make as much money as possible, Oh yes, Money the root of all Evil.
What would people do without their precise god Money?
Money, Money, Money, it all comes down money.
Well it is time for everyone to start thinking about that simple verse in Hebrews Chapter 9 Verse 27 “It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.” You see there is not going to be any escaping this day. There will be no scam to get you past the God of the entire Universe. There will be no price that can wash away all the things you must give account for. God almighty knows you, He has always known you, even before you were created. He will know what you have done, He will know what your heart as spoken, what your intentions where, he knows everything.
Pray for the Now Generation. Pray that they might have the veil lifted from their eyes that Satin has constructed specifically to blind them.
Pray for them even though you may not even know them, pray that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God will fill them, and rescue them from certain despair.
The road to Heaven is a narrow path, and will be traveled by few, but the road to hell is a super highway, and everybody is racing there as fast as they can.
You as believers owe it to Jesus who died for you, to pray fervently that this generation will prevail, keeping intact the Doctrine and policy that governs all men as created equal, by the people for the people under God in divisible and with liberty and justice for all men. May God forgive and have mercy on the Now Generation.
I pray for all of the people of this lost time, may the Holy Spirit guide them to Jesus.
Amen

Jesus our Father,
We come to you tonight as a club a team a union of people who all are seeking the same thing: A friendly place to go share quality time with our friends in a Christian atmosphere, free of ridicule and hatred.
There are so many different ways to fall into trouble these days, it seems like every where a person turns there is temptations to do wrong.
And it is a challenging life to be a Christian, and to act in a way that is pleasing to God.
The normal society labels us as “Jesus freaks” or “religious fanatics”, or “Holy Roller” because we choose to lead our lives with a sense of responsibility toward our magnificent creator. It is easy to live the life of a sinner, and after a long period of time, Jesus himself may stop trying to reach the unreachable hopeless sinner. The Lord is very patient toward everyone and wants everyone to come to repentance. .
2 Peter 3:9 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
But we also know from scripture that God at some point might stop wooing you back to his graces and let you do the evil you do.
In Exodus it tells of the Pharaoh who hardened his heart when Moses requested the Israelites' freedom (Ex. 8:15, 32; 9:34).
But eventually, God hardened Pharaoh's heart which means that He let the wicked ruler have his way.
There is no way to tell when you will give up on someone Jesus and stop working in their lives, because sometimes you forgive someone at the very last seconds of their lives, as many people have accepted Jesus just before dying, and the Holy Spirit was with them to the last moment of life. But other people keep rejecting Christ or postpone thinking about salvation. Eventually, God may let them become desensitized so they see no need for Jesus. Continually rejecting the Lord is risky.
If you're not a believer but are seem to be interested in spiritual things, your heart remains workable, and the Holy Spirit is still working in your life. Don't put off a decision about Jesus Christ. You don't know when God might stop leading you to Himself. The wisest thing you can do is choose to follow Him today.
If you have not yet chosen Jesus Christ as you savior just say this next pray with me where you are right now, and believe in its meaning, and you can receive the gift of eternal life.
Jesus I choose you today to be my savior, I know your are the son of God almighty, and only through repentance to you can I be forgiving for all my past sins, for no man comes to the Father lest it be through you Jesus. I am a sinner and ask that you forgive me of my sins; I know you died on a cross at Calvary so I could receive this gift from you now. Thank you for granting me salvation Jesus Christ.

Our Heavenly Father,
Today I wanted to pray with my friends about the importance and the purpose of the Holy Bible. God your plan to save your children is the Bibles main purpose. It tells the story of mankind lost and his quest to be saved, and the story of Jesus Christ, who was God almighty in the flesh, living among us on Earth.
To read the Bible often helps us as Christians to accurately understand its meanings.
This glorious book was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty different prophets, all having different views but one central theme, namely salvation of mankind through the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Moses started the book in a desert in Arabia and John finished this glorious tale of victory over death alone on the island of Patmos, this story is centered on your love for us all God, and your desire that we all come to you through Jesus Christ.
As we all grow in Christ, we sanctify and make Holy our faith in you God.
Just as the Bible is a journey of sorts, so it is also the life of a Christian. There are many things to learn along our way, and it is up to us as individuals if we desire to take the shorter path, or we may decide to take the longer route to God. Certain people grow slower after salvation, but if they are encouraged by fellow believers and pursue maturity through prayer, meditation on Scripture, they will be able to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:17).
All of us here in the UFOFREEBANDCLUB have noticed a change in our lives and character since our fellowship began last October God.
We want to mature with you Father and ask that you lead us to the answers we seek in the scriptures, through prayer, and through continued friendship, sharing our delight in the Lord Jesus Christ repenting our sins, and living purposeful lives for His glory.
In the Name of our Glorious Father and Creator and the World I pray,
Amen

Our Heavenly Father Jesus,
I am sometimes asked “what do I have to do, or not do to be a Christian?
We have been talking and praying all week about the first step and that of chorus is coming to you Jesus and asking for forgiveness and repenting our sins. But the next steps are somewhat harder to define, so I decided to look in scripture to find out what God thinks.
I found a great summary in the book of Galatians where Paul had this to say about living by the Spirit.
Galatians 5: 16-24
16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
The Lord teaches us how to live the "exchanged life" in
Galatians 2:20
20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Our sinful nature has been crucified with you Jesus, and your life is expressed through us as we surrender to the Holy Spirit's influence.
I hope everyone can recognize changes in themselves as they look back over their walk with you Lord.
Perhaps some of us can identify an area where God still needs to work in our lives.
Don’t let anything stand in the way of allowing Him to live fully through you, surrender to the Holy Spirit, asking Him to help you become more like Jesus.
In the name of the Savior Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Thank you for this beautiful day.
We had a really good time at the park today flying kites, any success that we had today we owe you all the glory.
Thanks for the big wind at the end of the day God,
We were able to finally get the kites way up there, and we all had a lot of fun.
It is always nice to get together with friends and share in good clean fun.
We did not have any music, or any distractions, just us all together talking, laughing and having some fun, in the sun. We couldn’t have been a better day Lord Thank you.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the members of this great club; I cherish my friendships with each and every one of you.
Lord we all are trying to be better people, individuals who care about others, and who pray for one another.
May your Holy Spirit continue to guide us Jesus, and help us to mature in our faith, and to help us become all we can be for Jesus Christ.
Thanks to everyone who showed up, and helped make the day so special.
It was a pleasure to hang out with Marks Mom and Dad, Doug and his daughter Star, and all the kids that showed up with Timmy and Tracy seemed to have a lot of fun.
We want to continue to try to be close friends and share in all kinds of things together Lord, and we thank you for everything you provided for us today…
May God bless each of you, and keep you all safe from harm, my Friends, you all know who you are, God bless you all!
In Christ Name I pray.
Amen

Jesus
We know you are the son of god.
You lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
“God almighty showed mercy for us in that he allowed Christ to die for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now he lives in heaven with God his father.
He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with him in heaven if we accept him as our lord and savior.
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except by me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be his child. "As many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on his name."
Jesus we love you and we know you are our savior and the Son of God almighty in Heaven.
Jesus bend our will and ways back towards you.
Allow us to yield and cooperate with you and allow the Spirit of God to fill our Hearts.
Oh Lord please eradicate every thought pattern and activity promoting dependency on anything other you.
I will rely on you to attain security, salvation, or physical and emotional comfort.
I will not advance myself at the expense of others, or participate in hateful un-Godly acts.
The truth is that we all have areas in our lives where we need God’s help.
Help us Jesus to honestly look inward to discover wrong habits and thought patterns.
Our Heavenly Father helps us identify those faults, and He will lead us down a path which is righteous and help us overcome and be renewed...God let us all surrender to your will so we can become wise and useful servants for you,
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright May25/2009

Meeting # 215 May 26, 2009 AUDIO LINK
Our heavenly Father,
We have all accepted new purpose for our lives when we accepted you as our Savior. We know to be a follower of you Jesus means each of us will be going through certain changes so that we can live righteously. All of us will be going through changes in our beliefs as we try to think more like you Jesus.
The worlds influence is very strong. If we are part of the current culture, we would probably push ahead of others, take credit for our accomplishments, and keep material possessions in high esteem. But followers of God know through scripture that the last will actually be the first.
Mark 9:35-36 35Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."
36He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."
We must realize that God deserves all our praises and anything we have we owe it all to God.
Psalm 96:4 4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
We also all need to learn how to be generous, as the Bible describes generosity equal to love.
1 Tim. 6:18 18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
We all realize that you are first God in all matters, and we must trust in you, and do as the spirit leads us. When we make choices we need to make sure those choices are pleasing to the Father, and in line with his plans, not our own.
This might mean getting rid of old habits that keep us separated from God, or it might mean we should be more generous or loving toward others. Each person knows what the spirit is telling them to do.
Our Father wants and deserves His children's full devotion
Matthew 22:37 37Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
The Bible describes Christ's servants like this:
2 Corinthians 6:10 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
Jesus Christ is supreme over all things forever, but suffering and death remain for a while. Life is not simple. There is pleasure, and there is pain. There is sweetness, and there is bitter suffering. There is joy, and there is misery. There is life and health, and there is disease and death. And therefore emotions are not simple. For those who love others, and not just their own comforts, this complexity means that we will rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep
Romans 12:15 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
And there is always someone we know who is weeping, and someone we know who is rejoicing. And therefore we will learn the secret of "sorrowful yet always rejoicing" and joyful yet always sorrowing. Those amazing words that describe the Christian soul--"sorrowful yet always rejoicing"--mean that suffering remains for a while in this world, but Christ is supreme now and forever.
We all will gain confidence of knowing that God will use us to fulfill His plans through the Holy Spirit.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright May26/2009

Meeting # 216 May 27, 2009 AUDIO LINK
Our Heavenly Father, today I pray for hope.
1: Hope to desire with expectation of obtainment 2: to expect with confidence: Trust.
This is the way Webster’s Dictionary describes the word HOPE. We as Christians have a somewhat different meaning for this word.
Hope for Christians is only obtained by trusting Jesus Christ, as we desire for something good to happen, and our expectations for it to happen. Jesus is our only source for hope.
Jesus you know what is best and you have all the Glory and Power to fulfill. Any other type of hope is grounded on unstable ground, a fantasy and beyond our control.
A lot of us hope for change in our earthly life, but you have given us all hope for a life after this one in Heaven. As we hope and hopes fade away, the eternal promise you have made to us all Lord, will never fade away. This hope and desire to live with God is your only real security, you’re only sure shot for true happiness.
What more do people need in this life than to have food and a place out of the weather? 1 Timothy: 6-10 talks about what we need and not what we want when it is written:
6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s.
But Heaven can seem so far away at times, and how am I supposed to endure the pain I am experiencing here and now. Jesus what about times when our situation is not improving--then, what is God doing that is "better"?
Peter tells us you give us these bad times to test our faith, which will be repaid to me when you return to Earth to collect us – the faithful. Then we will be exalted in praise, glory and honor. When we lose hope, our faith grows stronger, and our hope in your Father, increases.
Peter describes this better in:
1 Peter 1:3-9 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Christ promises us hope not only for eternity, but also for this life. Those times that God does not deliver us from difficulty, we can be sure He is doing a greater work within us. When we finally reach our eternal home, we'll recognize the immeasurable value of the faith He produced in us as we kept our hope in Him.
Father we trust in you to do with our lives what you see fit, always trusting in the Lord God in Heaven to deliver us from Evil.
Amen
Rev. Robert D. Wright May27/2009

Meeting # 217 May 28, 2009 AUDIO LINK
Our Heavenly Father,
We have been praying lately about hope, and trials we are all going through today.
Hopelessness and worldly despair can blind a believer from seeing the glory of God.
As our trials and tribulations increase in this world let us focus on the Lord closer and closer, through prayer and scripture .Sometimes this can seem like a hard if not almost impossible task for someone who is getting the beat down, but hope awaits those who are willing to see life from God's perspective.
Romans 5:1-5
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Sometimes people also lose hope because the old sinful habits keep calling them back like a plague, robbing them from our spiritual connection with you Father Jesus. But the sin that hides inside us can be fought with the help of the Holy Spirit, from which God has left with us, to help us, and guide us back to God, if we only surrender to his authority and depend upon him; He will heal us from the inside out.
Oh Jesus our father let us all pray for hope for our great country the United States of America. May the Holy Spirit flow down upon all the peoples of the USA that we as a nation might bend back to our Glorious God in Heaven.
May we pray for a return of God to our country, and strength in America, the kind of strength that can only come from you mighty god. As it is written in
Proverbs 3, 5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heartand lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him,and he will direct your paths.
We praise you father, and acknowledge that we are nothing without you, and thank you for all your blessings.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray this pray for Peace and Joy:
Amen

Our heavenly Father,
Tonight I pray for friends everywhere, and for their Salvation through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
God loves us all and wants us to have a personal relationship with him forever.
Our heavenly Father also has a purpose for our lives.
He gave us a definite promise in Jeremiah, 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
God created you to share life with Him. He wants you to grow as close as you can now so you can spend the rest of eternity in Heaven with him. The only thing that can keep this from coming true is SIN.
Everything we do wrong and we know it that is sin. Every one of us is guilty of sin, and no one ever walked the face of this planet, except Jesus Christ, who did not sin, so you are not alone my friends.
Romans 3:23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
There is a certain penalty for our sins, if we do not seek forgiveness from Jesus Christ as explained in Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Everyone listen to me when I say you cannot get to Heaven for doing good deeds, becoming baptized or going to a church, these things are pleasing to God but just not enough to make the final cut. But there is hope Friends, God loves us so much that He sent his only son, Jesus, to earth.
Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and then died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins
Romans 5:8. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Three days later, He arose back to life and now He lives in heaven.
John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
To see and live with God and go to heaven after you die, you must accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord.
Salvation can be yours if you receive Him now.
Say this next simple prayer with me, no matter who you are, no matter where you are, if you here my voice, or you read these words, God is calling out to you in love right this very moment in your life and believing that Jesus will forgive you of all your past, if only you ask him, is the starting point for a new life with God.
Just say after me:
"Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
Thank you for coming to Earth and dying so that I could have eternal life.
Please forgive all my sins.
I am going to follow you with my life now.
Thank you for giving me Salvation Lord.
Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and direct my steps.
I give my life to you Jesus, to do what you will.
In Jesus' name,
Amen."
If you just ask Jesus Christ to be your Savior congratulations, Friend you will definitely be in Heaven.
Hallelujah, God is Great!
Can I get a BIG Amen?
AMEN

Meeting # 219 May 30/2009 AUDIO LINK
Jesus our father,
Many people today know you are the savior, but they don’t get a grasp on what your mission is here on Earth to man. The problem is not you Lord but our inability to grasp the fullness of the man Jesus Christ.
A lot of people question your divine love for us all because they have bad circumstances in their lives. They question your love when there are tragedies or hurt, and they question how God can allow them or the ones they love to suffer so. We can’t possible understand why anything bad happens, but rest assured God’s compassion and Love for us is bigger than this world, and one day, He will make all things better.
If you life circumstances are getting you down, chances are that the problem is also be antagonized by one who wishes to cause you suffering, Lucifer, but never God, God is all loving. If you feel inadequate or un clean because of things in your past or sins that won’t stop haunting you, if you compare your situation with others and envy them, you will end up hopeless and guilty of failing.
The lord will never scold you or tell you to “Get your act together” and maybe I will forgive you. His forgiveness is based on his love for us not our behavior, so don’t expect Jesus to promote this kind of self condemnation. Satan however specializes in making you feel like hell, and He is an expert at pushing all of your buttons.
Do not believe his lies for one second, even when it all is ready to go right down the drain, do not stop believing in God my friends. If we as believers begin to doubt that God cares for us, then we in essence are saying the scriptures are a lie, and I am here to tell you right now, every word of this Bible is one hundred percent true, so never be discouraged and think God has forgotten you. He knows all you are going through, and he promises to never give you a burden you cannot bear. The Lord wants each of us to experience His great love in a personal, intimate way. Don't let the Enemy's lies or life's hardships steal the enjoyment and security of this great blessing. When doubts arise, rely on the truth of God's Word. He loves you. Believe it, and eventually you will feel it.
Ephesians 3:14-19 for this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
In the name of the Father who will we always trust:
Amen

Jesus,
We have all come here today
To hear about your love
You were sent down to us on Earth
from Heaven up above
Without you we are nothing
in all things you exist
We will follow faithfully
salvation we won’t miss
in all the scriptures
in all the books
you are the one we seek
you walk among us here on Earth, both the mighty and the meek
help us Lord to do our best
to live our lives like you
to do our best continuously in everything we do
to keep God first above all things
the worldly and our flesh
that with our faith you bind us up our spirits they will mesh
As we age and we grow old allow us to reflect
on all the things you've done for us, we give you our respect.
God help the masses of the world to bend back toward the light
and bless them who on bended knees worship you at night
God most of all we love you for the son Jesus Christ
Who took away all our sins and gave us back our life
the only life that matters the eternal one that's real
where all our cares are washed away
and love is all we feel.
We will walk on streets of Gold everyone is there
we will live in happiness you will provide our care
Thank you God for everything, that comes along with life.
The good the bad and the ugly, and all our woes and strife
it makes me stronger knowing that
you are always there for me.
And when the mountains crumble others they will flee.
I will stand in your grand light with crowns upon my head
along with all who once did live, but no longer now are dead.
And on that day of judgment Lord you will take me home,
no longer will I wait, no longer to be alone
The place you have prepared for me, and all who worship you
We will live eternally, with THE BREAD OF LIFE from you.

Thank you lord for this wonderful prayer, I honor you Jesus and long to be with you,
Amen

DHS DECLARES SECOND AMENDMENT SUPPORTERS ARE “RIGHTWING EXTREMISTS”:April 17th, 2009

DHS DECLARES THAT SECOND AMENDMENT SUPPORTERS ARE “RIGHTWING EXTREMISTS”:TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN REPORT!
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Did you know that your government considers you to be a “rightwing extremist?”
IT’S TRUE!
According to news reports, the Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in “rightwing extremist activity,” labeling citizens opposed to new firearms restrictions, returning veterans and conservatives as “rightwing extremists” and associating them with white supremacists and violent antigovernment groups.
You read that right — it appears that the Obama Administration, and especially the DHS under Janet Napolitano, is trying to demonize political dissent. And it’s no big surprise who’s directly in their crosshairs: supporters of the Second Amendment, including veterans and gun owners.
Who is funding this kind of nonsense? Well, YOU are. Why would your government spend your money attacking YOU, instead of spending your money PROTECTING you?
This calls for grassroots action, on a HUGE scale!
The report also says that Congressional debates about immigration and gun control make extremist groups suspicious and give them a rallying cry:
“It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists,” the report said.
Why are they worried? Because since November, more than 7 million people have applied for criminal background checks in order to buy weapons. And as far as the Obama administration is concerned, buying guns equals “weapons stockpiling,” buying ammo equals “hoarding of ammunition,” and expressing concern about Congress passing gun control legislation qualifies YOU as part of an “extremist group.”
Therefore, you and I are now being viewed as dangerous rightwing extremists that law enforcement officials need to be watching out for!
This is OUTRAGEOUS!
This report was released “hot on the heels” of another (state) government agency report in February: the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report titled, “MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement.” In this horrific “law enforcement sensitive” secret police report, Governor Jeremiah (Jay) Nixon; John Britt, Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety; James Keathley, Colonel, Missouri State Highway Patrol; and Van Godsey, Director of MIAC categorize certain citizens as being potential violence-prone “militia members.”
According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous “militia member”:
The United NationsThe New World OrderGun ControlThe violation of Posse ComitatusThe Federal ReserveThe Income TaxThe Ammunition and Accountability ActA possible Constitutional ConventionThe North American UnionUniversal Service ProgramRadio Frequency Identification (RFID)AbortionIllegal Immigration
Well, there you have it! You see? You ARE a dangerous rightwing extremist!
As ridiculous as that report seems, it was distributed to law enforcement officials across the state of Missouri. And it wasn’t until the state government was FLOODED with protests from patriotic Americans across the country, that they finally came out and denounced and retracted the MIAC document.
Now, it’s happened again — but this time, at the Federal level! Our own government is turning against us, and unless there is a HUGE outpouring of outrage from every part of this nation, it will just keep getting WORSE!Interestingly enough, no left-leaning political ideologies were identified. No Islamic extremists. No environmental extremists. Only people holding “conservative” or “right-wing” philosophies were identified in BOTH the MIAC report AND the Homeland Security “assessment.”
This shouldn’t be too surprising: both of these reports are similar to several other reports currently circulating around various State police agencies, courtesy of DHS-sponsored “Fusion Centers.” MIAC is one of those Centers, sponsored by the DHS!
So now, even veterans are targets of our own government: The Homeland Security assessment specifically says that “rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat.”
PLEASE, don’t think we’re making a “big deal” out of nothing! Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban specifically told the press, “This is nothing unusual,” and added that the Homeland Security Department did this “to prevent another Tim McVeigh from ever happening again.”
The authors of this assessment are pushing an “Us against Them” philosophy. You and I are being marginalized — labeled as fringe kooks, “rightwing extremists,” so that it will be easier to violate our liberties and take away our right to keep and bear arms in the future.
The only thing that will put a STOP to this nonsense is a huge public outcry opposing it. If we do nothing, however, it will soon be too late to do anything. We either stop it NOW, or it will grow into an out-of-control monster that will monitor and control the personal opinions and speech of every man, woman, and child in this country.
As patriotic Americans, we need to DEMAND that this outrageous report be CONDEMNED by our Representatives in Congress, and RETRACTED by the Obama administration — NOW. They, along with Secretary Napolitano, owe every conservative American, every veteran and every gun owner who supports limited government an apology. Please, send Blast Faxes to EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS, telling them to take action against this report TODAY! As tens of thousands of faxes now begin to pour in to the offices on Capitol Hill, the CCRKBA is ready to LOBBY HARD to make sure that our Congressmen follow through on our demands. But lobbying costs money — so we need YOUR help to keep pounding away on these legislators to do the right thing!
It’s ironic, isn’t it, that Barack Obama’s friend, William Ayers, is a convicted leftwing terrorist bomber, but nothing in this report suggests monitoring HIS activities.
This administration needs to be reminded that its words and actions have consequences, and irresponsible statements, reports and actions fuel fires that are counterproductive to democracy in America.
TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENTATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS:

Obama is taking away money from Charity OrganizationsApril 6th, 2009
April 3, 2009Obama’s Proposal to Reduce Charitable Deductions Would Hurt Civil Society, Expand Governmentby Ryan MessmoreWebMemo #2379In February, the Obama Administration announced its proposals to raise tax rates on high-income earners and to reduce their tax deduction rate on gifts made to charities. These strategies are intended to raise funds for Obama’s health care plan.
The Senate Budget Committee passed an amendment by Senator Robert Bennett (R-UT) to the budget resolution that would prevent this policy from going into effect. Congress should give this amendment full consideration. In so doing, it can resist government crowd out of the valuable charitable work performed by individuals and nonprofits.
The Proposal
American citizens in the highest marginal personal income tax bracket are taxed at a rate of 35 percent.[1] If they donate to a charitable organization, they can receive a tax deduction at the same 35 percent rate. For example, if a couple in this marginal bracket gives $10,000 to a hospital, they can write off $3,500 when filing their taxes.
Under Obama’s proposal, beginning in 2011, families making over $250,000 a year would see their marginal personal income tax rate rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent.[2] Rather than keeping the charitable deduction rate consistent with the tax rate, Obama proposes reducing it to 28 percent. At this reduced rate, the possible tax write off from a $10,000 donation would drop from $3,500 to $2,800, a difference of $700.[3]
The Obama Administration estimates that its proposed tax changes will fill government health care coffers with around $630 billion over 10 years.
The Likely Consequences
The President claims that his tax plan will only have a small negative effect on charitable giving. Percentage-wise, this may be true, but the estimated reduction in giving means billions of dollars less each year for charities, especially if weak economic conditions continue.
Scholars at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University estimated that, had Obama’s proposed changes been in place in 2006, total itemized contributions from wealthy households would have dropped almost $4 billion.[4]
While this amount is only a small percentage of total charitable donations given each year, it represents more than the annual operating budgets of the American Cancer Society, World Vision, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Habitat for Humanity, and the American Heart Association combined.[5] Moreover, other scholars estimate that under Obama’s proposal charitable organizations would see donations drop possibly by as much as $9 billion every year.[6]
In addition to receiving less money from wealthy donors, charitable organizations under Obama’s plan could face a more subtle yet significant challenge: government crowding them out of social welfare provision. This phenomenon occurs when government claims increasing responsibility for tasks once performed by civil society, absorbing a larger percentage of the resources dedicated to carrying out those tasks.[7]
Shifting Focus
Obama defends his proposal as a way of “equalizing” tax breaks for donors in different tax brackets. In his March 24 prime-time news conference, Obama said it would not be fair to allow wealthy donors to write off more than lower- or middle-income donors who give the same amount. “Ultimately,” he added, “if we’re going to tackle the serious problems that we’ve got, then in some cases those who are more fortunate are going to have to pay a little bit more.”[8]
But Obama ignores the fact that wealthy citizens get a higher deduction precisely because they already pay more–a lot more–in taxes. In fact, although families making over $250,000 a year represent less than 5 percent of income earners in America, they pay 48 percent of all federal income taxes.[9] That a portion of their giving may go to private charities instead of to the government does not change the fact that, under the present tax system, the wealthy already shoulder a larger burden for social welfare. But Obama seems to believe that federal government bureaucracy can deploy the resources of the wealthy more effectively than nonprofit civil society organizations can.
President Obama has stated his desire to help “folks who have fallen on very hard times.”[10] Yet he is standing by his proposal to lower deductions for charitable giving, which would hamper efforts by nonprofits to help needy families. The President seems to be letting his desire to equalize differences undercut his desire to help the poor.
Mediating Institutions
Perhaps most importantly, Obama’s proposal says something about who Obama thinks can best determine how to distribute people’s money.
In their influential book To Empower People, Peter Berger and the late Richard John Neuhaus describe the importance to a healthy democratic society of “mediating institutions”–i.e., forms of association like the family, church, and nonprofit organization that stand between citizens and the large institutions of public life.[11]
Mediating institutions are essential for generating and maintaining the operative values of society. They are also well-equipped to provide a helping hand to people in the context of face-to-face relationships. They have intimate knowledge of those in need–they understand social problems in up-close and personal ways. Driven by deep convictions and compassion, such organizations can provide loving forms of assistance and care that government programs cannot offer. And they often do so for less money. Smaller and more flexible than most government bureaucracies, local congregations and charities can also spawn creative social innovations that benefit those in need.
Berger and Neuhaus claim that public policy should “cease and desist from damaging mediating structures.”[12] More than that, though, public policy should protect mediating institutions and, where possible without co-opting them, empower them in their efforts to promote the common good.
The tax plan put forward in Obama’s 2010 budget blueprint, however, implies that the state should assume responsibility for people’s needs even at the expense of vital mediating institutions. And it communicates the notion that America is better off with expansive and intrusive–rather than limited–government.
In short, Obama’s proposed tax plan penalizes those who can give the most, shifts dollars from citizens and local private charities to distant government bureaucracy, and prioritizes mandatory taxation to voluntary tithing and giving.
Unfortunately, Obama’s proposed tax changes move the dial of social responsibility one more notch in the direction of the state. This sets a course for adopting many future policies that could chip away at local, personal, mutual obligation and increase dependence on government. For an example of this, one need look no further than Obama’s vision of expanding government control over health care, which is the very objective behind proposals to raise taxes and reduce charitable deductions for wealthy citizens.
The Bully Pulpit
Obama should use his presidential authority and influence to encourage voluntary giving and protect nonprofit groups, especially during tough economic times. President Obama speaks articulately and often of the important role charitable institutions play in America. He should send an equally clear message in his policy. Reconsidering the tax changes proposed for charitable donations would be good place to begin.

[1]The marginal tax rate is the statutory rate at which a taxpayer’s last dollar of income is taxed.
[2]Those in the second highest income bracket would also see their personal income tax rate increase, from 33 percent to 36 percent.
[3]If the charitable deduction instead stayed consistent with the increased tax rate at 39.6 percent, the difference in tax savings would be even greater. According to that scenario, the couple making a $10,000 gift would go from a $3,960 deduction to a $2,800 deduction, a difference of $1,160.

The 5 “R’s” of Salvation..April 4th, 2009
Meeting # 163 April 04/2009
Our Heavenly Savior,
Tonight I wanted to share with my friends the five “R’s” of salvation.
These are the five “R’s” to being Reborn in Christ.
Repentance: repentance is the first step, a change of mind that results in change of conduct. Asking you to forgive us Lord and truly meaningfully admit our wrong doings.
Recall: recall from our memory all the times that God has came through for us, always remembering all we have to be thankful for. God always comes through for you in tough times and in good times, he is always with you.
Reflect: reflect on the power from Heaven. All of us humans can become emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained; even exhausted before some of us can understand God’s strength is sufficient for us. Take a piece of paper and write down all that God has done for you, so you can reflect often on God’s goodness and what it has meant for you.
Remember: remember God’s promises. The books of Psalms show the awesome promises of protection, peace, and help during troubles. God Cares about you personally.
Resolve: Resolve to trust God rather than give in to the despair that threatened to overwhelm, listen to your heart, and not the advice of people who may not have your best interest in mind.
Jesus Christ always has your best interest in mind.
Give us all strength to always trust in your plan God.
Let us all repent for our past, and when times get rough, let us all recall our past with you Jesus. Let us all reflect on our blessings, even keep a diary or written record of our lives. Allow us all remember, and never forget your wonderful promises, of a prepared place for us all in Heaven and a life ever- lasting with him. God also give us assurance and resolve that when we speak to you, that you will always be there for us, and teach us to trust in only you, to live our daily lives.
Oh wonderful father, creator of the Stars, how I love thee. My heart is filled with Joy and my cup over runs, surely happiness and goodness will be here with me on this Earth, and I shall dwell with Christ of Nazarene, in my prepared place in Heaven forever.
Amen

The Final Three & One-half YearsMarch 30th, 2009
THE FINAL THREE
& ONE-HALF YEARS
This chapter will address the sequence of events which will
unfold during the final three and one-half years of man’s self-rule
on earth. These events are not pleasant to read about because they
are catastrophic beyond belief. These events will begin when the
Seventh Seal is opened.
We have arrived at one of the most fearful moments in time
that is spoken about in the Word of God. It is a time like no
other. God said that there has never been a time like this, nor ever
will be again. It is a time that will teach some of the greatest
lessons of life to all mankind. God has determined that the
lessons from this time are to be indelibly etched into the minds of
all who have ever lived.
The magnitude of this end-time destruction is very unpleasant
to contemplate. It is difficult to write about, and it will be
difficult to read. However, you need to see this time for what it
is, as unpleasant as it is; then you can better understand the
deeper reasons “why” such things are going to be allowed by
God, which is the subject of the following chapter.
The next chapter will explain “why” this end-time of
worldwide destruction has to occur the way in which God has
revealed.
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 115
Opening the Seventh Seal
When Jesus Christ opens the Seventh Seal of Revelation, God
declares that the final three and one-half years of great tribulation
will begin, and man’s self-rule will be brought to an end. Satan’s
influence and power over man will also be brought to an end at
this time. He will not be allowed to have any influence over man
for nearly 1,000 years, after which time, he will be allowed to do
so once again for one final, very short period of time.
Once the Seventh Seal is opened, the first of Seven Trumpets
will be blown. Each Trumpet will announce a specific phase of
great tribulation on the earth. The first four trumpets will
proclaim the demise of the United States and her closest allies.
All of this will be explained in this chapter.
The final sequence of events that leads up to the opening of
the Seventh Seal needs to be briefly reviewed. By the time this
final seal is opened, all 144,000 whom God has called over six
millennia will be fully trained to rule in His Kingdom. This
Kingdom will be established when Jesus Christ returns with the
144,000 on the last day of the final three and one-half years of
man’s self-rule. The remaining few, who were yet to be added to
this total count of 144,000, and are alive at this end-time, will be
sealed (completed their training) by the time this last seal is opened.
This final sealing will occur during the time of the Sixth Seal.
During the Sixth Seal, all Seven Thunders will be getting
progressively louder. Before the Seventh (and final) Seal is
opened, the Seven Thunders will become so pronounced that the
validity of everything written about them in the previous chapter
should roar loudly in the ears of anyone who is willing to admit
the truth. But even then, many still will prefer to believe a lie!
They still will prefer to be falsely soothed by denying reality and
the truth.
116 The Final Three & One-half Years
Also, by this moment in time, there will be a strong, rapidly
growing recognition within the United States that I am who I say
I am—one of God’s end-time witnesses and His prophet. This
Sixth Thunder will continue to grow much louder through this
final three and one-half years.
The First Four Trumpets
The first four trumpet blasts will announce four powerfully
destructive events that will bring about the total collapse of
the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, and some countries of Western Europe. The
direct effect of all four events is first and foremost upon the
United States.
The events, declared by these first four trumpets, are a
prophetic fulfillment of the symbolism contained in the events of
9-11, when the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon were
struck by terrorism. It is during the time of the first four trumpets
when the symbolism of 9-11 is accomplished; the economy,
government and military might of the greatest nation on earth is
struck a fatal blow.
The chain reaction, which will follow, is the very thing that
will lead immediately into World War III. It will be the last war
that mankind will ever fight! Before this final three and one-half
years comes to a complete end, all military forces around the
world will have been destroyed, every economy will be
decimated, several billion people will have died, and vast
destruction will cover every part of the earth.
The First Trumpet
The First Trumpet blast will occur quickly after the Seventh Seal
of Revelation is opened by Jesus Christ. Even as I am writing, the
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 117
events prophesied to take place during these trumpet blasts are
already showing signs of emerging on the world scene. Much of
what will occur is simply being held back by God until it is His
time to allow it. God is going to allow mankind to bring about
one more world war. If God were not in control of the timing,
some of these events would have already begun; but God is in
control of the exact timing of everything that is to take place.
God will cut the end-time short by allowing these end-time
events to occur over the limited space of three and one-half years,
otherwise, mankind would end up destroying all life on the
earth—so says God Almighty! Notice the powerful description of
the first trumpet:
When He [Jesus Christ] had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven for about the space of half an
hour. And I saw seven angels who stood before God, and
seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel
who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and
he was given much incense that he should offer it with the
prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was
before the throne. Then the smoke of the incense along
with the prayers of the saints ascended up before God out
of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and
filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it to the earth.
Then there were voices, and thundering, and lightning,
and an earthquake. And the seven angels who had the
seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. After the
first angel sounded, then there followed hail and fire
mingled with blood, and they were cast on the earth, and
the third part of trees were burned up and the green grass
with it was burned up. (Revelation 8:1-7)
This first powerful event of the Seventh Seal will result in
118 The Final Three & One-half Years
wide-spread destruction over the United States and beyond her
border into Canada. The destruction in Canada will be less, but
she will experience repercussions from what will happen in the
U.S.; because she is a neighbor, as well as a prophetic brother.
When we are told that a third of all plant life will be destroyed,
that is exactly what it means. The actual event will not be
disclosed until it is time for it to happen. As with all the Seals of
Revelation, many of the specifics of each of the Seven Trumpets
will not be revealed until it is time for the actual events to take
place. It should also be noted, that in the first trumpet there is fire
mingled with blood. Blood means there will be much death when
this event occurs. Most of it will be the death of animals and
birds, but also a large number of people will die—into the tens of
thousands.
The Second Trumpet
Then the second angel sounded and there was something
like a great mountain burning with fire that was cast into
the sea, and a third part of the sea became like blood. And
a third part of the living creatures which were in the sea
died, and a third part of the ships were destroyed.
(Revelation 8:8-9)
This event will take place primarily over water, but its effect
will also decimate much of the coastline of the United States, the
United Kingdom and some of their allies, including the complete
destruction of some cities. A third of all the waters within the
boundaries of these countries will become lifeless; everything
will die in these areas. This death will include a third of all the
people on boats and ships. However, there will be hundreds of
thousands who will die on the coastal areas of these same
regions.
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 119
The reason for the destruction of so many shipping vessels is
that this event occurs primarily in port cities where there are
large concentrations of ships, commerce and people.
The Third Trumpet
Then the third angel sounded and what appeared like a
great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it
fell on a third part of the rivers and on the springs of
waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood, and a
third of the waters became wormwood, and many men
died from the waters because they were made bitter.
(Revelation 8:10-11).
Each of these three events will become progressively more
devastating upon the United States and her closest allies. This
lethal blow will finally cripple the most prosperous and powerful
nation the world has ever known. The initial destruction from this
event will include several large cities. It will make the
devastation from Hurricane Katrina appear extremely small by
comparison. The destruction of property will be beyond measure,
but the destruction of life will be far greater. The death toll will
be in the tens of millions.
Worldwide repercussions from this event will trigger World
War III.
The Fourth Trumpet
Then the fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun was
struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars,
so that a third of them were darkened. So the sun did not
shine for a third of the day, and likewise the night. Then I
looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe, to the
120 The Final Three & One-half Years
inhabitants of the earth because of the trumpet blasts
from the three angels who are yet to sound!” (Revelation
8:12-13)
The cumulative effect from the first three trumpet blasts will
be announced by this fourth blast, which will cause much more
destruction. By this time, over one-third of the population of the
United States, the United Kingdom and their closest allies will
have died. Many more will continue to die from the results of this
fourth event. Weather conditions will be horribly altered on earth
as a result of one-third of the sun’s light no longer being able to
warm the earth and give light. Plant life and normal growing
cycles will not be sustained by the sun as in the past. This will
result in immediate famine over many areas of the earth. The
effects from the Fourth Trumpet blast will result in far greater
death—again—tens of millions.
Although the devastation that follows the first four trumpet
blasts result in unimaginable destruction, along with the death of
a few hundred million people, the last verse of Revelation 8 gives
a warning of far worse events that will follow.
After the announcements sounded from the first four
trumpets, a greater warning is given:
Then I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the
midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe,
woe, to the inhabitants of the earth because of the trumpet
blasts from the three angels who are yet to sound!”
(Revelation 8:13).
The expression “woe” refers to dire consequences that will be
far more destructive in the world. There are three “woes,” which
refer to the events that will follow in the last three trumpet blasts.
The downfall of the United States and her closest allies will
lead to a great power vacuum in the world; nations will race to
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 121
fill the void. Many areas of the world, that have been held at bay
by the influence of the United States and her closest allies, will
now be determined to accomplish their will on others. Just
consider the nations that have had long lasting border and
territorial disputes, as well as religious and political disputes
which have been contained. Now they are held back no longer!
The Fifth Trumpet
The blast from the Fifth Trumpet will announce the emergence of
a great political power and a great religious power on earth. The
Biblical symbolisms contained in the description of the message
from this trumpet blast are prophetically unique. Rather than
having readers become bogged down with an overwhelming
amount of Biblical study that serves no purpose here, I will
simply give an overview of the meaning and outcome.
This trumpet will announce the first great “woe” on the earth.
The prophetic description covers many overlapping, unfolding and
interacting highlighted events in the final three and one-half years
of man’s self-rule. The highlights of this Fifth Trumpet include:
(1) the emergence of Satan and his large army of demons
to great power
(2) the emergence of great power wielded by the Roman
Catholic Church and the Pope
(3) the emergence of a fully-united European union of ten
nations
(4) the emergence of a colossal military might from this
united European union and the destruction of several
hundred million people by it
(5) the protection of God’s elect and the torment and
trying (testing) of those who have refused to repent in the
environs of God’s scattered Church
122 The Final Three & One-half Years
All these events begin once the fifth trumpet is sounded:
Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from
heaven to the earth, and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and
there arose smoke out of the pit like the smoke from a
great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened
because of the smoke of the pit. Out of the smoke there
came locusts upon the earth, and they were given power
like scorpions of the earth have power. (Revelation 9:1-3)
Satan’s Rise to Power
In prophecy, stars are symbolic of angels. One simple example of
a star that is misinterpreted by the world of traditional
Christianity is the one that led the wise men to Bethlehem, where
the Messiah was born. Traditional Christianity pictures this as a
literal star over the little town of Bethlehem. Yet, most people do
not know that it wasn’t a literal star in the heavens, but an angel
that directed them where to go.
The star in Revelation 9:1 refers to Satan. John’s vision
represents Satan’s fall from God’s presence to his banishment
here on earth. Satan, and those angels who rebelled with him
against God, have been limited in the power they once were
given. They have been restrained by God. This restraint from
power is symbolically pictured by chains and a place of restraint,
like a prison. The key is symbolic of being released from these
restraints.
Satan has been allowed to exercise powers of influence over
mankind, primarily in the form of feeding man’s own greed for
wealth, power, illegal self-gratification, etc. Now, at this very
point of end-time tribulation, at the sounding of the Fifth
Trumpet, Satan and the demons (angels that rebelled with Satan)
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 123
will be released from their restraints and will be able to exercise
far greater power and influence over mankind than before.
Nations and religions already desire to exert power and evil on
earth, but Satan will move them to follow their evil desires more
quickly.
In actuality, God will be accelerating a natural course of
events that would otherwise be spread over many more years of
intense suffering, war, and evil on earth, which would result in
far greater destruction. If God did not speed up these events, as
revealed through the Seven Trumpets, and limit this time to only
three and one-half years, then all life would be erased from off
the earth.
The Final Rise of a United Europe
For over fifty years now, Europe has been moving toward a
union of nations. It began in the early 1950’s with the vision of a
stronger European economy being formed through the European
Common Market. This finally evolved into a greater unification
through the governing power of the European Union. There has
been a constant driving force within Europe to unite under a
stronger governing organization of nations. Over time, a core
block of those nations forged a stronger bond by the adoption of
a common currency—the euro. Political and even military
consolidation has continued to press forward.
For over fifty years, God’s Church has foretold the rise of this
united Europe, which would have a common currency, a military
and religion (Roman Catholic Church), and would finally consist
of only ten united countries.
For many years now, there has been a growing desire among
many Europeans for the revival of an old Europe into a single
United States of Europe, replacing and surpassing the United
States of America as the predominant power in the world. Many
in Europe are frustrated with, what they see, as too slow a pace in
the progress of these goals. A bond of unity among some of these
nations is becoming stronger, while their frustrations are
mounting against those who are seen as slowing the process.
There is deep resentment and growing bitterness toward these
nations (especially Great Britain) who won’t join together for a
stronger euro.
Although many other areas of prophecy can help you
understand what will happen at the time of this Fifth Trumpet,
only the conclusions from the revelation of those prophecies will
be covered in this chapter. More of this information is covered in
The Prophesied End-Time.
Satan’s release from restraint will move him to exercise
greater power and influence over the unity of Europe. Satan has
exercised his influence and power to deceive and create havoc
during every revival of the Holy Roman Empire. He will stir up
ten nations in Europe who will take control of all power over the
European Union. Only those ten nations will agree to lend their
power as one.
Germany will once again be the principal driving force behind
a united Europe. As in the sixth revival of the Holy Roman
Empire, which led into World War II, this seventh prophetic and
last revival will lead into a full blown World War III. And, like a
scorpion that strikes quickly without notice, a new United States
of Europe will swiftly exercise great military power that it
already has in its possession under the cloak of NATO. This will
occur at a very specific moment in time. This new European
power, which would eventually move to accomplish the same
thing, will move forward more quickly due to the influence of
Satan and his army of demons.
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 125
The account of this next revelation will infuriate many people,
nevertheless, it is true. At the same time that Satan will have
powerful influence over ten nations in Europe, he will wield
great deceptive power over the Roman Catholic Church. For
centuries, the Catholic Church has been led into deception
through Satan’s power; but he will exercise even greater direct
control at this final end-time. Although there will be a distorted
bond between this new Europe and the Catholic Church, that
bond will become deeply stressed as these two struggle for
dominant power, one against the other.
Indeed, God will make it clear who is the true power over both
the revived Europe and the Catholic Church—it is Satan:
And they had a king over them who is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is
Abaddon [destruction], but in the Greek tongue he has the
name Apollyon [destroyer]. (Revelation 9:11)
God’s Church
At the same time all these events come together at the sounding
of the Fifth Trumpet, there will be an initial period of time (five
months) when much human suffering will continue as a result of
the first four trumpets. This marks a time of great suffering on a
worldwide scale, but even now, God’s Church is still part of
these prophetic events. God’s Church still exists on earth, and
will continue, all the way up to the very return of Jesus Christ;
but many who were scattered in the Church, after the great falling
away, will not live into the new millennial period that follows.
Although Satan and his demons will be released from great
restraint, they will still be restrained in their ability to cause hurt
to any of God’s people who obey Him, especially those who are
sealed as part of the 144,000. It will be during this time that Satan
and his followers will be allowed to wreak havoc and torment
upon those who have not yet repented and humbly turned to
God’s end-time prophets for understanding.
Those of the scattered Church of God, who are tormented
during this five-month period, will suffer greatly for their
stubborn pride and continued defiance against God. Once this
time has ended as a final time of trying, all of those who have
resisted God through selfish pride will die and will not be
allowed to enter the millennial period that will soon follow.
Instead, they will be awakened (from death) at the end of this
time in the great resurrection. There will be much weeping and
gnashing of teeth. At this time they will finally see the
foolishness of their choices, and they will also see what they gave
up.
This five-month period will also be paralleled by millions of
people who will begin to repent and seek God. They will begin to
turn to the truth they have heard from God’s end-time prophets,
as well as those who serve with them in God’s Church. Yet,
during this same time, those who still refuse to repent (in the
United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and some
western European countries) will experience great trial and
torment to help them see their stubborn pride and bring them to
repentance.
Much Revelation Yet Reserved
Nothing more specific on the Fifth Trumpet can be given at this
time. A little more is mentioned in my first book, but not much. It
is God’s purpose that many of the details of these events, and the
revelation of their complete meaning, be reserved for another
time. This time will be just prior to their actual occurrence or at
the moment they begin to take place on earth. This will be
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 127
reserved for greater revelation from God’s two end-time
witnesses at this very time.
The same is true about much of what is being covered in this
chapter about the Seven Trumpets. It is not yet God’s purpose
that all these things be revealed.
During the time covered in the Fifth Trumpet, several hundred
million people will die—more than the total number who died
during the period of the first four trumpets. Finally, this time will
also come to an end, as John wrote, “One woe is past, and
behold, there are two more woes coming after this” (Rev. 9:12).
The Sixth Trumpet
Although Europe will step in to fill the power vacuum left by the
collapse of the United States, there will be other countries that
will immediately begin to prepare for world conquest. They
know Europe, and they will not have Europe exercise control
over their future:
Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from
the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God,
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release
the four angels which are bound in the great river
Euphrates.” The four angels were released, who had been
prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, to
kill a third of mankind. The number of the army of the
horsemen was two hundred million, and I heard the
number of them. (Revelation 9:13-16)
China and other countries of Asia will form an alliance that
will create an army which will exceed two hundred million. They
will have fearsome power to destroy everything in their path, and
this is what they will set out to do. They will seek control—total
control of the earth.
128 The Final Three & One-half Years
Little needs to be said about this here. However, you need to
know that this great “woe” upon mankind will result in one-third
of all mankind being destroyed, as it will account for the death of
well over 2 billion people. This will indeed be a great woe on
earth!
Pride runs deep in human nature. Mankind will continue to
resist God, even after all the horrifying events of the previous six
trumpets have occurred. By the end of the period covering the
first six trumpets, several billion people will have died. Multiple
millions around the world, who have been conquered by these
two great powers, will have come to repentance. Yet, there are
many who will refuse to repent, including the vast populations of
these two great superpowers. They will insist on living life as
they please. This is what is being spoken of in the verses which
follow the description of the army that numbers two hundred
million:
But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these
plagues, still would not repent of the works of their
hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols
of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood,
which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk. Neither
would they repent of their murders, nor of their
sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
(Revelation 9:20-21)
By this point in time, many will have repented. They will have
been humbled because they will have been conquered. Those still
ruling will continue to live as they please, and they will have no
intention of repenting and turning to God. This is a witness of the
haughty spirit in mankind. Unless humbled, man will not listen to
God. So, that is exactly what God will do—He will humble both
superpowers.
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 129
Armageddon
The last great battle of mankind (described in Revelation and
prophetically known as Armageddon) is the account of these two
superpowers converging upon one another and the battle that
ensues. This confrontation is inevitable. This time coincides with
the very end of the three and one-half years of final end-time
tribulation.
The actual region of Megiddo is known anciently in Biblical
times as the place of several great military slaughters. Therefore,
the name has great significance in prophetic symbolism in
relation to this final confrontation of mankind and the end of
man’s rule on earth.
China and her allies will move against the United States of
Europe. These superpowers will pursue a head-on
confrontation of military might, since both will be reluctant to
use any more nuclear weapons because of the enormous
destruction already experienced. However, it should be noted
that if either began to lose the battle, such weapons would be
used, and this nuclear confrontation would indeed end in the
total annihilation of all life on the earth. God will not allow
this to happen. This is why supernatural intervention in the
timing of events is so critical.
Therefore, on this last day of the three and one-half years of
great tribulation, God will intervene in the affairs of all mankind,
thus, saving mankind from destroying himself. This day is called
the day of God’s great wrath. It will be the last day of man’s selfrule
over the past six millennia.
Man’s awesome technological developments over the past
century have been withheld from mankind for great reason. Man
would not have lasted for six millennia if God had allowed such
development before now. This is the precise reason God created a
130 The Final Three & One-half Years
language barrier at the tower of Babel, scattering man over the
earth (Genesis 11). A few thousand years ago, God actually
caused different groups of people to begin speaking in different
languages in order to withhold such technological advances.
God knew what the growth of technology would bring. He
also knew that nations would use it for personal power, military
advantage, and finally, war. Such is the nature of man. The arms
race has been just that—a race for the most powerful, the most
advanced and the most destructive weapons. The true witness of
man is that he will always use such weapons on one another, as a
result of man’s thirst for power and dominance.
Yes, if God did not intervene, mankind would destroy all life
on earth. This is why God will cut short man’s time by the rapid
development of end-time events which will be completed over
three and one-half years. God will do this in order to minimize an
otherwise prolonged and hideous suffering on earth.
Man’s Last Day
This last day of man’s self-rule will be the greatest single day of
destruction in all history, but it will also bring the greatest “good
news” to man that anyone could ever hope to imagine.
The day the Seventh Trumpet is blown will be the third and
final “woe” upon the earth. But three and one-half days prior to
this, God’s two witnesses will be killed in the streets of
Jerusalem. This event will lead to the first great event that will
begin on that last day:
And when they [the two witnesses] shall have finished
their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the
bottomless pit [Satan through his influence on men] shall
make war against them, and shall overcome them, and
kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 131
the great city [in Jerusalem], which spiritually is called
Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord [Jesus Christ]
was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three and
one-half days [via modern technology], and their dead
bodies shall not be allowed to be put in graves. And those
who dwell on the earth [of the two superpowers] will
rejoice over them, being delighted, and shall send gifts to
one another because these two prophets tormented them
who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 11:7-10)
God’s two witnesses will be viewed by others (who will hate
their message about God) as being responsible for their suffering.
The two witnesses will be bringing plagues upon the nations of
these two superpowers in order to humble them, but they will not
be humbled. Instead, these superpowers will continue in their
own selfish pride. Satan will have been restrained from causing
God’s two witnesses any harm until it is God’s time to allow
them to be killed, but then:
After three and one-half days the Spirit of life from God
entered into them [the two witnesses] and they stood upon
their feet. Then great fear fell upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto
them, “Come up here.” And they ascended up to heaven
in a cloud and their enemies saw this happening to them.
(Revelation 11:11-12)
In the actual order of events for this last day, this will be the
first event. The day will begin by the appearance, in the highest
atmosphere of the earth, of a large area of dazzling light and a
powerfully colorful display, which man has never witnessed
before. It will be the physical appearance (manifestation) of the
coming of Jesus Christ and the resurrection that will take place at
132 The Final Three & One-half Years
this very time. All 144,000 people who have been trained
throughout six millennia to be in God’s government (the first
phase of the Kingdom of God) will be resurrected at the
beginning of this day.
It will be at the time of the resurrection of these two witnesses
(viewed by millions) that the 144,000 will be resurrected and
given eternal life in spirit bodies. The glory of this event will be
seen literally from earth. It will be an awesome, yet fearful sight
for many on earth. After the resurrection of God’s two witnesses
we read:
In that same hour there was a great earthquake [in
Jerusalem], and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the
earthquake there were seven thousand men killed, and
those remaining were made frightened, and they gave
glory to the God of heaven. (Revelation 11:13)
The Seventh Trumpet
In the first great event on the last day of the end-time tribulation,
Jesus Christ will be in the heavens above the earth with the
144,000 who will be resurrected. The display from earth will
perplex mankind. Some will know the significance and will
anticipate Jesus Christ coming, while others, who still resist, will
see this awesome display as a threat to their power and existence.
Finally, man’s reign will be brought to an end:
The second woe is past, and behold, the third woe is
coming quickly. Then the seventh angel sounded, and
there were great voices in heaven, saying, “The
kingdoms of this world have now become the
kingdoms of our Lord, even of His Christ, and He
shall reign from now and forever more” (Revelation
11:14-15)
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 133
This is the announcement that man’s reign over the past 6,000
years has finally been brought to an end, and now, God will reign
on earth in His Kingdom with Jesus Christ at its head; Christ has
now become King of kings over all the earth:
Then the twenty four elders, who sat before God on their
thrones, fell on their faces and worshipped God, saying,
“We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who is, and
was, and are yet to come, because you have taken to yourself
your great power, and will now reign.” (Rev. 11:16-17)
God has always been in control of His creation, but He
chose to allow man to rule himself for 6,000 years. This has
always been part of God’s plan in order for man to learn that
only God’s way of life produces good and lasting results. The
witness of man’s ways over the past 6,000 years has proven to
be disastrous.
When the Seventh Trumpet sounds, the time will have come
for God to begin His rule over the earth. This has been His plan
since before the creation of the universe millions of years ago. As
it says in verse 18, the time has come for God to “destroy them
who destroy the earth.”
Seven Last Plagues
The third and final woe that will follow the blast of the Seventh
Trumpet is divided into seven specific events, which are called
the Seven Last Plagues of God’s wrath. This wrath will be on
those who still will refuse to submit to God. This wrath will
crush the superpowers of Europe and China along with her allies:
Then I saw another sign in heaven that was massively
great and amazing, with seven angels having the seven
last plagues, for in them is filled up the wrath of God . . .
Then one of the four creatures gave to the seven angels
134 The Final Three & One-half Years
seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives for
ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from
the glory of God, and from his power, and no one was able
to enter into the temple until the seven plagues from the
seven angels were fulfilled . . . Then I heard a great voice
from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go your ways,
and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”
The first went and poured out his vial on the earth, and
there fell a destroying and disease filled sore upon the men
who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who
worshipped his image. (Revelation 15:1, 7-8, 16:1-2)
This specific plague of death will fall upon those in the United
States of Europe who embrace the teachings of the Catholic
Church. This will not be a small thing which God does. It will be
powerfully destructive with several hundred thousand dying this
day from this First Plague, and the second follows quickly:
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea,
and it became as the blood of a dead man, and everything
living died in the sea. (Verse 3)
Everything in the coastal waters of both superpowers will die,
including mankind. At this moment, tens of thousands will die
and this death will continue:
The third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
sources of water, and they became blood . . . Then the
fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power
was given to him to scorch mankind with fire. Men were
scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name
of God, who has the power over these plagues, and they
repented not to give him glory. Then the fifth angel
poured out his vial on the government of the beast, and
his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 135
tongues for pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and still would not
repent of their deeds. (Verses 4, 8-11)
God will send a scorching heat upon these same nations.
Hundreds of thousands who have already been suffering will die
now because they continue to defy God. They will not repent.
Then, all light will be removed from these regions resulting in
total blackness. This darkness will have the power to kill even
more of these same hateful, rebellious people; yet they still will
not repent. They will continue to curse God.
As with Pharaoh at the time of the Exodus in Egypt, man has a
nature that seeks to do its own will, and this nature fights against
yielding to God’s perfect will. Mankind has always been this
way. Mankind resists God, even to death, in order to hold onto
his own self-rule, rather than yielding to God’s rule in his life.
Instead of repenting and seeking God, man tries to keep God out
of his way.
John describes what he sees when the sixth plague is poured
out, but it is the result of something that has already been
underway for many months. The result of this vision, reveals the
purpose accomplished by the sixth angel pouring out his vial.
The purpose of this symbolism contained in John’s vision was to
bring these two superpowers together so that God could deal with
them in one location. God has chosen to do this in order to bring
about a final powerful blow to end all of man’s self-rule. The
result will serve as a future witness to the power and glory of
God to end all wars—something that man could never do! Notice
the description of the sixth angel pouring out his vial:
The sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates, and the water was dried up so that the way
might be made ready for the kings to come from the east.
136 The Final Three & One-half Years
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the
mouth of the dragon [symbolic of China and her allies],
and out of the mouth of the beast [symbolic of a United
States of Europe], and out of the mouth of the false
prophet [symbolic of the Pope of the Catholic Church].
For these are the spirits of demons, working miracles,
who go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of
God Almighty. (Revelation 16:12-14)
Satan will actually exercise power and influence over all three
of these powers on earth, but there are demons who will do his
bidding, as this symbolism shows. Their influence will help bring
about the prophetic reality of this day when these two great
superpowers gather together for the “battle of that great day of
God Almighty.” The result of the vial poured out by the sixth
angel will be that “he gathered them together into a place called
in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon” (Verse 16).
In the midst of all the confusion of this day, this war actually
will begin later in the day when the sixth vial is poured out.
Then, tens of thousands in these two armies will die in this allout
confrontation.
The Seventh Plague
When the last vial is poured out, these two powers will stop
fighting each other. They will declare a quick truce because they
suddenly fear something much greater than each other:
Then the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air,
and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying, “It is done!” There were noises,
and thunder, and lightning, and there was a great
earthquake such as there never has been since mankind
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 137
was on the earth. The earthquake so mighty and so
great that the great city [Rome—the seat of religious
power over Europe] was divided into three parts [no
longer a city of seven hills], and the cities of the nations
fell [the great cities of both superpowers], and great
Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
And every island fled away [prophetically symbolic of
every smaller country seeking to escape, but could not],
and the mountains could not be found [prophetic
symbolism that all the great governments of these
superpowers are destroyed—they no longer exist]. And
there fell on men a great hail out of heaven, and each
weighted about a talent [100 pounds / 45 kg], and men
blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for
the plague thereof was so exceedingly great.
(Revelation 16:17-21)
This plague will be the final blow which will completely
destroy all the remaining governing structure of both
superpowers. The entire infrastructure of all these countries will
collapse. This destruction will prove to be overwhelming; the
death toll will mount into the tens of millions.
These two great armies will still be fighting each other as this
last plague is being poured out. During this plague, they will stop
fighting. Both will receive word of the scale of destruction in
their home countries. They will no longer fear each other, but
they will fear, what they now see, as the source of their demise.
They will see the movement of that which will be glowing in the
heavens. They will not understand what it is, but they will see it
moving toward them. The next thing that will happen is
unbelievable.
138 The Final Three & One-half Years
Uniting to Fight God
At the end of the Seventh Plague, Jesus Christ and the spiritual
army of 144,000 new members of the God Family begin moving
toward the location of these two great superpowers:
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and
He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like
a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had
a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. He was
clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called
The Word of God [Jesus Christ]. And the armies which
were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in
fine linen, white and clean [the 144,000]. And out of His
mouth went a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the
nations, and He shall rule them with a rod of iron. He
treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God. He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written,
King of kings, and Lord of lords. (Rev. 19:11-16)
Jesus Christ came the first time, as the Lamb of God to die as
man’s Passover, so that man could be saved through Him by the
forgiveness of sins. The second time He will not come as a
Lamb, but as a Lion; and He will not come in peace, but in war.
The war He will bring will be swift and decisive, as He and the
144,000 will destroy the army of both superpowers. As it says,
“He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty
God,” by destroying this final display of man’s opposition to
God. Now, all mankind will be fully humbled before God and
God will usher in His Kingdom to reign on earth.
This final war will be swift and powerfully strong!
Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with
a loud voice saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of
2008—GOD’S FINAL WITNESS 139
heaven, “Come and gather yourselves together to the
supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of
kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty
men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on
them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both
small and great.” [he speaks of the destruction of this
army and says that the birds eat their flesh once they are
slain]. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth,
and their armies, gathered together to make war
against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army
[these two opposing armies unite to fight against Jesus
Christ and His army]. The beast was taken [leader of
the United Europe], and with him the false prophet that
worked miracles before him [the Pope], by which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image. These both were
cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the rest were slain with the sword of Him that sat
on the horse, whose sword proceeded out of His mouth,
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
(Revelation 19:17-21)
In this final battle, over 200 million will die.
During this time period (three and one-half years) of this
Seventh Seal, over 6 billion people will die.
Now, finally after 6,000 years of man’s self-rule, God will
rule the earth through His Son, Jesus Christ, and the 144,000 who
then will be in the Kingdom of God—the Family of God:
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
was given to them [to the 144,000] and I saw the souls of
them who were cutoff for the witness of Jesus [these had
been cutoff from the world for holding onto God’s way],
140 The Final Three & One-half Years
and for the word of God, who had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark
upon their foreheads, or in their hands. These lived and
reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of
the dead [the rest of mankind who had lived and died
throughout the first 6,000 years of man’s time on earth]
lived not again until the thousand years were finished
[they will be resurrected to physical life once more, but
they will then be living in God’s world once the 1,000
year reign of Jesus Christ has ended]. This is the first
resurrection [referring to the 144,000 who are in the first
great resurrection of mankind]. Blessed and holy is he
who has part in the first resurrection, for on such the
second death has no power [the 144,000 have not been
resurrected to physical life again in this first resurrection,
but to spiritual life], but they shall be priests of God and
of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:4-6)
This new millennial age for mankind will bring peace, equity,
righteous judgment, prosperity, joy, and happiness on a level
which will be so great that man cannot even imagine it.

OBAMA’S TWO-WEEK RECAP
1, The American people elect a black president with a total of 42 days experience as a U S Senator from the most politically corrupt state in America whose governor is ousted from office. The President’s first official act is to close Gitmo and make sure Terrorists civil rights are not violated.
2, The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.
3, The CIA Boss, Leon Penetta with absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda we find out, that is a true radical anti-American activist who is a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere.
4. We got the most corrupt female in America as Secretary of State; bought and paid for.
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who files his own taxes.
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
8. A Labor Sec’y nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
9. A Sec’y HHS nominee who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
And that’s just the first two weeks . . . but who’s counting.
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges ~ Barrack, Nancy, and Harry ~ and they are still trying to define stimulus.
Stimulus is where the government gives a smidgen of your tax dollars back to you making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated] that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!

French press outlets are reporting on another foreign policy gaffe committed by the Obama Administration. President Obama recently sent a letter to French President Jacques Chirac (French) expressing Obama’s desire “work together…to build a safer world.” It’s a nice sentiment. The only problem is that Chirac has not been president of France for over two years. The current French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, is not a fan of Obama’s foreign policy plans, especially in regard to Iran, and now is reported to be upset by the president’s outreach to his predecessor.
The snub is the third in a string of recent foreign policy missteps by the Administration. In the first, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a symbolic “reset” button, which was meant as a lighthearted ice-breaker from the new Administration to the former foe. But the humor fell flat when Lavrov informed Clinton that the gift was emblazoned with the Russian word for “overcharge,” not reset. Next came the disastrous visit by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown earlier this month. British officials were reportedly taken back by the Obama Administration’s refusal to adhere to standard protocol, declining a joint press conference, and hastily scheduling a brief Oval Office appearance of the two leaders. That was followed by revelation of the president’s embarassingly minimalist gift to Brown, a set of 25 DVDs of classic American films. The DVDs were coded to play only in North America, making them virtually useless to the leader of America’s greatest ally. Now, the Obama Administration has apprently angered the president of France.
The Obama Administration may be too preoccupied with handling the economic downturn here at home to pay much attention to foreign policy courtesies. But American administrations are expected to be able to manage multiple tasks at once. Thus far, the White House has been neglecting foreign policy, as the mistakes show, after promising during the campaign to rekindle ties with America’s allies abroad. The president would be well advised to spend more of his time tending to relationships with foreign leaders before his Administration’s early clumsiness becomes an international liability.

Malachi3:3 the refiner and purifier of silver.March 13th, 2009
Malachi3:3 says: ‘He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.’This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.One of the women offered to find out theprocess of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn’t mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver.As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: ‘He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.!
She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, ‘How do you know when the silver is fully refined?’If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, rememberthat God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
He smiled at her and answered, ‘Oh, that’s easy – when I see my image in it.

Who is Jesus Christ?March 12th, 2009
WHO WAS JESUS CHRIST?
It is impossible for us to know conclusively whether God exists and what He is like unless He takes the initiative and reveals Himself. We must know what He is like and His attitude toward us. Suppose we knew He existed, but that He was like Adolf Hitler — capricious, vicious, prejudiced, and cruel. What a horrible realization that would be!
We must scan the horizon of history to see if there is any clue to God’s revelation. There is one clear clue. In an obscure village in Palestine, almost 2,000 years ago, a Child was born in a stable. Today the entire world is still celebrating the birth of Jesus.
He lived in obscurity until He was thirty, and then began a public ministry that lasted three years. It was destined to change the course of history. He was a kindly person and we’re told that “the common people heard Him gladly.” And, “He taught as One who had authority, and not as their teachers of the Law” (Matthew 7:29).
The Life of Jesus Christ. Is Jesus God?
It soon became apparent, however, that He was making shocking and startling statements about Himself. He began to identify Himself as far more than a remarkable teacher or prophet. He began to say clearly that He was God. He made His identity the focal point of His teaching. The all-important question He put to those who followed Him was, “Who do you say I am?” When Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:15-16), Jesus was not shocked, nor did He rebuke Peter. On the contrary, He commended him!
He made the claim explicitly, and His hearers got the full impact of His words. We are told, “The Jews tried all the harder to kill Him; not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God” (John 5:18).
On another occasion he said, “I and My Father are One.” Immediately the Jews wanted to stone Him. He asked them for which good work they wanted to kill Him. They replied, “We are not stoning You for any of these but for blasphemy, because You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33).
Jesus clearly claimed attributes which only God has. When a paralyzed man was let down through the roof wanting to be healed by Him, He said, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” This caused a great to-do among the religious leaders, who said in their hearts, “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
At the critical moment when His life was at stake, the high priest put the question to Him directly: “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
“I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. “You have heard the blasphemy” (Mark 14:61-64).
So close was His connection with God that He equated a person’s attitude to Himself with the person’s attitude toward God. Thus, to know Him was to know God (John 8:19; 14:7). To see Him was to see God (12:45; 14:9). To believe in Him was to believe in God (12:44; 14:1). To receive Him was to receive God (Mark 9:37). To hate Him was to hate God (John 15:23). And to honor Him was to honor God (5:23).
Jesus Christ - Not Blind Faith

As we face the claims of Christ, there are only four possibilities. He was either a liar, a lunatic, a legend, or the Truth. If we say He is not the Truth, we are automatically affirming one of the other three alternatives, whether we realize it or not.
(1) One possibility is that Jesus lied when He said He was God — that He knew He was not God, but deliberately deceived His hearers to lend authority to His teaching. Few, if any, seriously hold this position. Even those who deny His deity affirm that He was a great moral teacher. They fail to realize those two statements are a contradiction. Jesus could hardly be a great moral teacher if, on the most crucial point of His teaching — His identity — He was a deliberate liar.
(2) A kinder, though no less shocking possibility, is that He was sincere but self-deceived. We have a name for a person today who thinks he is God. That name is lunatic, and it certainly would apply to Christ if He were deceived on this all-important issue. But as we look at the life of Christ, we see no evidence of the abnormality and imbalance we find in a deranged person. Rather, we find the greatest composure under pressure.
(3) The third alternative is that all of the talk about His claiming to be God is a legend — that what actually happened was that His enthusiastic followers, in the third and fourth centuries, put words into His mouth He would have been shocked to hear. Were He to return, He would immediately repudiate them.
The legend theory has been significantly refuted by many discoveries of modern archeology. These have conclusively shown that the four biographies of Christ were written within the lifetime of contemporaries of Christ. Some time ago Dr. William F. Albright, world-famous archaeologist now retired from Johns Hopkins University, said that there was no reason to believe that any of the Gospels were written later than A.D. 70. For a mere legend about Christ, in the form of the Gospel, to have gained the circulation and to have had the impact it had, without one shred of basis in fact, is incredible.
For this to have happened would be as fantastic as for someone in our own time to write a biography of the late John F. Kennedy and in it say he claimed to be God, to forgive people’s sins, and to have risen from the dead. Such a story is so wild it would never get off the ground because there are still too many people around who knew Kennedy. The legend theory does not hold water in the light of the early date of the Gospel manuscripts.
(4) The only other alternative is that Jesus spoke the truth. From one point of view, however, claims don’t mean much. Talk is cheap. Anyone can make claims. There have been others who have claimed to be God. I could claim to be God, and you could claim to be God, but the question all of us must answer is, “What credentials do we bring to substantiate our claim?” In my case it wouldn’t take you five minutes to disprove my claim. It probably wouldn’t take too much more to dispose of yours. But when it comes to Jesus of Nazareth, it’s not so simple. He had the credentials to back up His claim. He said, “Even though you do not believe Me, believe the evidence of the miracles, that you may learn and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father” (John 10:38).
Is Jesus God? Some Points to Consider
First, His moral character coincided with His claims. Many asylum inmates claim to be celebrities or deities. But their claims are belied by their characters. Not so with Christ. He is unique — as unique as God.
Jesus Christ was sinless. The caliber of His life was such that He was able to challenge His enemies with the question, “Can any of you prove Me guilty of sin?” (John 8:46). He was met by silence, even though He addressed those who would have liked to point out a flaw in His character.
We read of the temptations of Jesus, but we never hear of a confession of sin on His part. He never asked for forgiveness, though He told His followers to do so.
This lack of any sense of moral failure on Jesus’ part is astonishing in view of the fact that it is completely contrary to the experience of the saints and mystics in all ages. The closer men and women draw to God, the more overwhelmed they are with their own failure, corruption, and shortcomings. The closer one is to a shining light, the more he realizes his need of a bath. This is true also, in the moral realm, for ordinary mortals.
It is also striking that John, Paul, and Peter, all of whom were trained from earliest childhood to believe in the universality of sin, all spoke of the sinlessness of Christ: “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth” (1 Peter 2:22).
Pilate, no friend of Jesus, said, “What evil has He done?” He implicitly recognized Christ’s innocence. And the Roman centurion who witnessed the death of Christ said, “Surely He was the Son of God” (Matthew. 27:54).
Second, Christ demonstrated a power over natural forces which could belong only to God, the Author of these forces.
He stilled a raging storm of wind and waves on the Sea of Galilee. In doing this He provoked from those in the boat the awestruck question, “Who is this? Even the wind and waves obey Him!” (Mark 4:41) He turned water into wine, fed 5,000 people from five loaves and two fish, gave a grieving widow back her only son by raising him from the dead, and brought to life the dead daughter of a shattered father. To an old friend He said, “Lazarus, come forth!” and dramatically raised him from the dead. It is most significant that His enemies did not deny this miracle. Rather, they tried to kill Him. “If we let Him go on like this,” they said, “everyone will believe in Him” (John11:48).
Third, Jesus demonstrated the Creator’s power over sickness and disease. He made the lame to walk, the dumb to speak, and the blind to see. Some of His healings were of congenital problems not susceptible to psychosomatic cure. The most outstanding was that of the blind man whose case is recorded in John 9. Though the man couldn’t answer his speculative questioners, his experience was enough to convince him. “One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” he declared. He was astounded that his friends didn’t recognize this Healer as the Son of God. “Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind,” he said (John 9:25, 32). To him the evidence was obvious.
Fourth, Jesus’ supreme credential to authenticate His claim to deity was His resurrection from the dead. Five times in the course of His life He predicted He would die. He also predicted how He would die and that three days later He would rise from the dead and appear to His disciples.
Surely this was the great test. It was a claim that was easy to verify. It either happened or it didn’t.
Both friends and enemies of the Christian faith have recognized the resurrection of Christ to be the foundation stone of the faith. Paul, the great apostle, wrote, “If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (1 Corinthians 15:14). Paul rested his whole case on the bodily resurrection of Christ. Either He did or He didn’t rise from the dead. If He did, it was the most sensational event in all of history.
God Does Not Ask for Blind Faith
If Christ rose, we know with certainty that God exists, what He is like, and how we may know Him in personal experience. The universe takes on meaning and purpose, and it is possible to experience the living God in contemporary life.

On the other hand, if Christ did not rise from the dead, Christianity is an interesting museum piece — nothing more. It has no objective validity or reality. Though it is a nice wishful thought, it certainly isn’t worth getting steamed up about. The martyrs who went singing to the lions, and contemporary missionaries who have given their lives in Ecuador and Congo while taking this message to others, have been poor deluded fools.
The attack on Christianity by its enemies has most often concentrated on the Resurrection because it has been clearly seen that this event is the crux of the matter. A remarkable attack was the one contemplated in the early ’30s by a young British lawyer. He was convinced that the Resurrection was mere fable and fantasy. Sensing that it was the foundation stone of the Christian faith, he decided to do the world a favor by once and for all exposing this fraud and superstition. As a lawyer, he felt he had the critical faculties to rigidly sift evidence and to admit nothing as evidence which did not meet the stiff criteria for admission into a law court today.
However, while Frank Morrison was doing his research, a remarkable thing happened. The case was not nearly as easy as he had supposed. As a result, the first chapter in his book, Who Moved the Stone? is entitled, “The Book That Refused to Be Written.” In it he described how, as he examined the evidence, he became persuaded against his will, of the fact of the bodily resurrection of Christ.
The Death of Jesus
Jesus’ death was by public execution on a cross. The government said it was for blasphemy. Jesus said it was to pay for our sin. After being severely tortured, Jesus’ wrists and feet were nailed to a cross where He hung, eventually dying of slow suffocation. A sword was thrust into His side to confirm His death.
The body of Jesus was then wrapped in linens covered with approximately 100 pounds of gummy-wet spices. His body was placed in a solid rock tomb A 1 1/2- 2 ton boulder was rolled by levers to secure the entrance. Because Jesus had publicly said He would rise from the dead in three days, a guard of trained Roman soldiers was stationed at the tomb. And an official Roman seal was affixed to the tomb entrance declaring it government property.
In spite of all this, three days later the body was gone. Only the grave linens remained, in the form of the body, but caved in. The boulder formerly sealing the tomb was found up a slope, some distance away from the tomb.
Was Jesus’ Resurrection Just a Story?
The earliest explanation circulated was that the disciples stole the body! In Matthew 28:11-15, we have the record of the reaction of the chief priests and the elders when the guards gave them the infuriating and mysterious news that the body was gone. They gave the soldiers money and told them to explain that the disciples had come at night and stolen the body while they were asleep. That story was so false that Matthew didn’t even bother to refute it! What judge would listen to you if you said that while you were asleep you knew it was your neighbor who came into your house and stole your television set? Who knows what goes on while he’s asleep? Testimony like this would be laughed out of any court.
Furthermore, we are faced with a psychological and ethical impossibility. Stealing the body of Christ is something totally foreign to the character of the disciples and all that we know of them. It would mean that they were perpetrators of a deliberate lie which was responsible for the deception and ultimate death of thousands of people. It is inconceivable that, even if a few of the disciples had conspired and pulled off this theft, they would never have told the others.
Each of the disciples faced the test of torture and martyrdom for his statements and beliefs. Men and women will die for what they believe to be true, though it may actually be false. They do not, however, die for what they know is a lie. If ever a man tells the truth, it is on his deathbed. And if the disciples had taken the body, and Christ was still dead, we would still have the problem of explaining His alleged appearances.
A second hypothesis is that the authorities, Jewish or Roman, moved the body! But why? Having put guards at the tomb, what would be their reason for moving the body? Also, what about the silence of the authorities in the face of the apostles’ bold preaching about the Resurrection in Jerusalem? The ecclesiastical leaders were seething with rage, and did everything possible to prevent the spread of this message that Jesus rose from the dead. They arrested Peter and John and beat and threatened them, in an attempt to close their mouths.
But there was a very simple solution to their problem. If they had Christ’s body, they could have paraded it through the streets of Jerusalem. In one fell swoop they would have successfully smothered Christianity in its cradle. That they did not do this bears eloquent testimony to the fact that they did not have the body.
Another popular theory has been that the women, distraught and overcome by grief, missed their way in the dimness of the morning and went to the wrong tomb. In their distress they imagined Christ had risen because the tomb was empty. This theory, however, falls before the same fact that destroys the previous one. If the women went to the wrong tomb, why did the high priests and other enemies of the faith not go to the right tomb and produce the body? Further, it is inconceivable that Peter and John would succumb to the same mistake, and certainly Joseph of Arimathea, owner of the tomb, would have solved the problem. In addition, it must be remembered that this was a private burial ground, not a public cemetery. There was no other tomb nearby that would have allowed them to make this mistake.
The swoon theory has also been advanced to explain the empty tomb. In this view, Christ did not actually die. He was mistakenly reported to be dead, but had swooned from exhaustion, pain, and loss of blood. When He was laid in the coolness of the tomb, He revived. He came out of the tomb and appeared to His disciples, who mistakenly thought He had risen from the dead.

This is a theory of modern construction. It first appeared at the end of the eighteenth century. It is significant that not a suggestion of this kind has come down from antiquity among all the violent attacks which have been made on Christianity. All of the earliest records are emphatic about Jesus’ death.
But let us assume for a moment that Christ was buried alive and swooned. Is it possible to believe that He would have survived three days in a damp tomb without food or water or attention of any kind? Would He have had the strength to extricate Himself from the grave clothes, push the heavy stone away from the mouth of the grave, overcome the Roman guards, and walk miles on feet that had been pierced with spikes? Such a belief is more fantastic than the simple fact of the Resurrection itself.
Even the German critic David Strauss, who by no means believes in the Resurrection, rejected this idea as incredible. He said:
It is impossible that One who had just come forth from the grave half dead, who crept about weak and ill, who stood in the need of medical treatment, of bandaging, strengthening, and tender care, and who at last succumbed to suffering, could ever have given the disciples the impression that He was a conqueror over death and the grave; that He was the Prince of Life.
Finally, if this theory is correct, Christ Himself was involved in flagrant lies. His disciples believed and preached that He was dead but came alive again. Jesus did nothing to dispel this belief, but rather encouraged it.
The only theory that adequately explains the empty tomb is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Instead of Blind Faith, the Ability to Know God
If Jesus Christ rose from the dead, proving He is God, He is alive today. He is willing to be more than worshiped. He is willing to be known and to come into our lives. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door [of your heart] and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him” (Revelation 3:20).
The late Carl Gustav Jung said, “The central neurosis of our time is emptiness.” All of us have a deep longing for our life to have meaning and depth. Jesus offers us a more meaningful, abundant life, which comes through a relationship with Him. Jesus said, “I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
Because Jesus died on the cross, taking with Him all of humankind’s sin, He now offers us forgiveness, acceptance and a genuine relationship with Him.
Right now you can invite Jesus Christ into your life. You could say to Him something like, “Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I ask You to forgive me and to come into my life right now. Thank You for giving me a relationship with You.”

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER- A lesson in American History!

These were our parents.
What have we let happen?
I guess we are the last generation to see, or even remember anything like this?
Whatever happened?
Political correctness (or "re-education") happened, lack of personal responsibility happened, lack of personal integrity and honesty happened, lack of respect and loyalty to our country happened, lack of being an American happened.

A Nation's Need 2 Chronicles 7:11-22
If you received a call that someone you loved was stricken with a serious illness, you would not whisper a quick, "Bless her, Lord" and move on. No! You would fall to your knees--heart heavy in your chest--pleading with God to restore her health.
We should respond similarly when our country's "health" is compromised: we should pray as fervently for our land and her leaders as we would for a dangerously ill friend.
King Solomon was warned of the peril to his nation if the people ceased honoring the Lord. God explained what Israel was to do in such a state of turmoil.
First, the people were to humbly admit their need for the Lord's intervention.
Second, they were expected to cry out to Him from hearts burdened for the country's situation. And third, those seeking a renewal of God's blessing upon Israel were to undergo a time of personal confession and repentance.
The Lord's word to Israel contains principles that are also relevant for us in modern times. "Those who are called by His name"--in other words, the body of believers--have a duty to intercede on behalf of their country when it is ailing. Christians who want God to hear prayers, forgive national sins, and heal their homeland are wise to follow the steps He laid out to Solomon.
Your nation needs your prayers. As you become aware of unhealthy trends and decisions, start with a personal heart cleansing: confess and repent of any known sin (1 John 1:9). Then cry out to our heavenly Father for the return of a vibrant, God-fearing culture.
