When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord

will raise up a standard against it!! When God gets ready He will

take care of those things which are against His people and against

righteousness!!


The wicked will run when no one is pursuing but the righteous shall

be bold as lions! He said that their righteousness shall be of ME!!!


God has everything in control and when He gets ready for battle, WOE

to those to attempt to fight against Him and His armies!!! I want to be

in the army of the LORD. But we must not try to do battle until HE gives

the signal. There is a time to wait upon the LORD. We must allow HIM to

do the leading, by His Spirit, which is in us!!

Victory. victory shall be mine.
Victory, victory shall be mine.
If I hold my peace, and let the
Lord fight my battles,
Victory, victory shall be mine!

Blessings,

It is about a little girl who is being torn apart by parents and she is the one suffering.... and the last time i checked, God became very ticked off when people would hurt the little ones....... whether their parents were in the truth or not!

Thank you and the bigger picture as I said is this is happening more and more and is coming to a court near you

I know it is going to get worse... But we as Christians also need to stand up and learn our rights and stand up for them. I am a homeschooling Mom... I make sure that I go by the books because I will not give anyone any reason to mess things up for me... However, I realize that some just want to step in and take our rights away just because they don't like the way we do things. I don't care what denomination you are, this is an area where we all do need to stand up in our country and let our voice be heard. I am not one to get into politics. Even on this forum, I usually stay out of church politics and mostly I joke around alot.... But sometimes, enough is enough..... I will stand up for truth.... and if I do have to work with even other denominations when it comes to our laws, then so be it! I am tired of the minority voice of the world being louder than those of us who claim to be Christians.

I know many don't believe we should get into politics or even vote, but I for one cannot sit back and let the government take my rights as an American away from me. If they are taken away, it's not going to be because I did nothing!

I know or have known of Christians that think we should hide our heads in the sand and not get involved in politics and the reason seems to be they WANT persecution....I don't think they know what they are asking for, however we have a great country here that has allowed truth to flourish and spread across the world. Why would any intelligent Christian want to mess that up? Due to our freedoms and money we have been able to do much...was that God's will or the Devils? Charity, in my way of thinking, demands we keep such a paradigm and INCREASE IT so we can continue to spread the word and bless others.

We need to get involved in politics....the sad state of our political situation makes me want to hurl though.

A couple of years ago, we had some voting to do concerning the same sex marriage issue. We knew that is was for sure going to pass and we had almost accepted that. It did not pass, thank God. The mayor was speaking with my pastor and told him that soooo many of the amish people came out and voted that it changed the whole thing. The amish did not usually come and vote but they felt so strongly about this that their efforts made a change and it made the difference at that time. I know that prayer does many many wonders..........but sometimes, we need to put some legs to our prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To go a bit off on a tangent, what many of the more conservative apostolics out there think of as "persecution" is so far off mark that it makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.
I am sure that many here deem themselves to be under constant attack because of their many "standards" they think they are holding. I remember Ruth Reider writing on another message board and claiming that some of the criticisms of her books was akin to the persecution that other Christians endured in other countries.
It makes me wonder who will be the FIRST to fall or give in when/if the REAL persecution begins.

We had a vote a while ago where the Govenator put some initiatives on the ballot. There was a TON of negative commercials on TV over it and little to no public support for his initiatives. Well on the same ballot were some crucial initiatives regarding schools and your kids. One, for example, can allow a school to take your kid to a doctor without your consent to get an abortion or whatever.

There were a lot of commercials that pleaded with Ca voters to approve this measure and little to know counter support. In talking to others I found that some people vote based on the commercials. Whoever spent the most money and made the most emotive appealing commercial won...that measure passed and parents lost more of their rights as parents in the state of California...

I am persuaded that the reason is that MOST Christians were apathetic and MOST voters are stupid....I mean stupid in the sense that they would rather get their political opinions from commercials than to read what the measures were really about.

Well, if she indeed did say that (please don't report this post saying I called you a liar bro haha), then that is sad. But honestly brother I see all kinds of Christians making those same kinds of claims when it comes to their theology or their words being scrutinized. They must not have spent any time as a missionary in a third world nation. That is a slap in the fact to those that really have suffered...like those people in China or Christians in the Sudan...
