Critical issues that I am concerned about.

Where Has All Our Money Gone?

I watched a very enlightening and shocking You Tube video the other day. It was a speech by Senator Kennedy on what has been found at USAID (Agency for International Development). This agency is giving your tax dollars to certain organizations around the world. Some people are very upset that Musk is allowed to look at this information. But I think the American taxpayer has a right to know where a good chunk of their taxes are going. Would you like to know? I would. Well, here are just a few places where money is going.

  • To Afghanistan
  • To Yemen
  • To Syria
  • To support electric vehicles in Viet Nam
  • To a transgender clinic in India
  • 1.5 million to a Serbian LGTB group
  • 164 million to support radical organizations around the word, 122 million to terrorist organizations.
  • Millions to organizations in Gaza, controlled by Hamas
  • 2 Million for sex change operations in Guatemala
  • 20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq
  • 4.5 million to combat misinformation in Kazakhstan
  • 10 million of meals to an Alkaid terrorist group
  • 7.9 million to a journalist in Shirl Anka to teach people to avoid binary gender language
  • 1.5 million to rebuild Cuban media
  • 1.5 million to promote LGTB in Jamaca
  • 3.9 million for LGTB courses in Macedonia
  • 8.3 million dollars for equity and inclusion classes in Napal

Senator Kenedy was quick to say that some of our money may be very well spent. But a lot isn’t. I think USAID should be changed to USAIC (US Agency for International Corruption). It is bad enough that we are using our tax dollars for things we don’t agree with, but it is doubly bad that America is in the process of corrupting many other nations. It is shocking!!

I give my praise to Elon Musk for digging out this stuff. I do hope and pray that much of USAID is dismantled. I am in full agreement with firing all of the 10,000 working there. We cannot let this kind of stuff continue.

Freedom in Jesus or Freedom to Sin

When some politicians talk of freedom

Freedom to control their own bodies

That is, freedom to get an abortion

Or freedom to have a sex change

Or freedom to protest by

burning down buildings

Is that really the freedom

that our founding fathers spoke of

And that God grants us in Jesus?

No!

True freedom is a freedom to

Believe in God and to

Worship Him as He desires us to

And as we really desire to.

This is real freedom because

It frees us from the chains of sin and bondage

A freedom Jesus paid for with His own blood.

But the freedom of our rights that

So many are speaking of today to abort babies

and to have sex changes

is really a freedom to sin.

But that kind of freedom is no freedom at all

Is it?

It is a false freedom

It is a freedom that brings us more and

More into slavery and bondage.

I’ve been reading the story of Corrie ten Boom. I was surprised at the information told regarding Hitler and the Third Reich—from Corrie’s perspective. Back then they didn’t have up-to-date news as we do now, so the takeover of Hitler was quite a shock to the European people. Here are a few quotes.

  • A growing evil appeared on the eastern horizon…a socialism of the most heartless kind (this seems much like we feel now in America).
  • It is called the National Socialist German workers Nazi party.
  • They were called progressives (sound familiar?). In this Nazi party the poor, the old, the feebleminded, and the handicapped were enemies of progress. And soon the Jews became enemies too.
  • The leader among the Nazi party, Hitler, appeared laughable at first, comical, then maddening.
  • This man Hitler sounded like the devil himself…he was afraid of no one…he was diabolically shrewd.
  • They walked into Czechoslovakia and took over the entire country. They invaded Poland, Norway, and Denmark.
  • The Dutch people of Haarlem (where Corrie lived) walked the streets in a daze. Within two days the Dutch army surrendered.
  • The Germans were very well-organized.

Of course, the worst of it was quite hidden from everyone—the concentration camps and the brutal extermination of so many Jews. In my reading, I’m just getting into the parts when they were hiding Jews behind fake walls. It was quite an operation—a labor of love!

My Work

I just finished a long painting job, taking all of August and into Sept. The job had good points and bad point. I’ll get the bad points over first. There were a lot of high areas where ladders and roof jacks were involved and as a result I now have some rib injuries; but it is healing up. And painting the high fence around the yard was not fun—trying to get in behind the flowers and tall bushes.

But the good points I think far out-weighed the bad points. The people, which I have known for over thirty years, are very kind., They invited me for lunch every day, and they also were very complimentary of all my work and paid me well. I will keep them in my prayers as they are very old. I have been retired for a about ten years—but still working. Maybe now, after my rib injuries, I will start taking my retirement more serious

Plans To Build The Third Temple

Posted on by

My last blog, if you have been following along, was about the war of Gog and Magog. And I am suggesting here that after that war Israel will be starting to make plans to build the third temple—with the Antichrist wanting to take a leadership roll in it. But none of us really know for sure all the details of what will happen or the order of the events. But anyway, here is my post…

 As the people of Israel (after the Ezekiel war) are busy burying the dead bodies and are in the process of burning the weapons, they will have a chance to think about what comes next. Of course, we know now how we think about the Antichrist—he is evil! But the Jews and the world at that time don’t know him. They think he is wonderful and a man of peace. Since he and the EU were not involved in the war, and were in fact against it, they probably will see him as a peacemaker and a good man. They will also see him as a religious person—maybe even a Christian—since he will be taking steps to be unified with the new global religion. More importantly, he will at this time be cultivating a friendship with Israel, and very soon will announce his seven-year peace plan and the building of the third temple—and I’m sure the rumors are spreading.

As for the temple, what do you think Israel and the world are thinking about it? Are they in favor of it?

Let’s take the Jews first. There is quite a mixed bag of Jewish beliefs. Mainstream Orthodox Jews, which is by far the largest group, want the temple, but they believe it can only be built by the coming Messiah. Another group called Ultra-orthodox Judaism, a much smaller group, believe they already have a command of God (Ex. 25:8) to build the temple. And there are already several organizations that are in the process of carrying out this order. Then there are a few more liberal denominations that see no need for the temple—and especially for animal sacrifices.

True Christians, of course, see no need for a temple, since every Christian believes that he is a temple and God dwells in him (1 Cor. 3;16). Even so, we see the building of a temple as prophetical; and so, it is a sign that His coming is near.

The Antichrist may not know all of what his future is, but I’m sure Satan will fill him in as to what his role is; and so, he will have somewhat of a plan to sign a peace agreement and also to take charge of building the temple for the Jews. He may even know what he will do half-way through the seven-year peace plan.

There is so much more we could say about the progress made for the building of the temple and about all the obstacles they are encountering; but we will put that off for another time.

However, I’m thinking that if mainstream Orthodox Judaism comes to believe that this great man of peace is their Messiah, everything may very quickly fall into place.

Slaves of Depravity

I have been reading from 2 Peter. Chapter two has got my attention and I will try to bring it out. I’m not sure if Peter is trying to pinpoint any particular group or just generally speaking of depravity. What comes to my mind most is the gay crowd, those who call themselves the LGBTQ community. They are probably the most depraved, and most of chapter two seems to fit them. Also, it seems to fit the context, where Peter began talking of how God had to destroy the ancient world because of their sin, and also of Sodom and Gomorrah. I will just go through the chapter and highlight a few verses and show how it seems that God is speaking to us today on the same type of thing.

Starting at verses 6-9.  If we think this world is like the ancient world we should be warned, but also take heart. He will keep us who are righteous like He did Noah. But He will also punish those wicked like He did before.

From verse 12. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct. I would say that all those who are of the porn industry and users, and of the gay pride group are like animals. They don’t stop to reason what they are doing and what the consequences will be. They just follow their lustful desires.

From verses 13-14. They seem to get pleasure in carousing in broad daylight—reveling in their pleasures—eyes full of adultery. I especially see this in the pride parades where you see all kinds of lewd things, anything that will shock you. It gives them pleasure because it breaks down their consciences so that they have no sense of what is right and wrong. They are just being rebellious toward God—as a rebellious child.

From verses 18-19. By appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people; they promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity. This is so sad. They think they live in freedom, freedom to do whatever they want. But in doing what they do, they are enslaving themselves to depravity. They are becoming addicted to it. They are unaware that their addiction to sensuality is destroying their body.

In 1 Cor. 6:18 Paul tells us that “whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.” Yes, that sin slowly destroys their body. Many end up with anxiety and depression problems, and mental disorders. And I am afraid for all of the pride people. They are destroying themselves—mentally, emotionally, and physically; and they are making it harder for themselves to repent and come to the truth. Though God can still save them.

What Shall the People Do?

What shall the people do when its leaders are corrupt, when its judges are evil? What shall we do?

We should cling to God and listen to His voice. We should do what we know is His will. We should continue in the word and in prayer and be kind to our neighbors. When the world around us is sinking in sand look to God who alone can save us. Pray concerning all things and all people. Then trust Him to do as He pleases. He will put things right; He will accomplish His will.

So, as the world of evil marches on, we must lift our head and be blameless. They may be crooked and perverse, yet we must shine as lights of righteousness and hold forth the word of life until the day of Christ.

Reading: We All Have Our Own Pace

I called my daughter yesterday in North Carolina. I asked how the kids were doing—she home schools three of them. She seems to like it but said that her oldest is kind of slow at reading and maybe has some dyslexia. I told her that sounds like me. I never was a good reader, and I’m still slow, but I like to read things that interest me.

Later that evening I got out one of my college text books: A History of Philosophy. Good grief! It was and still is incomprehensive to me! I can’t read one sentence without stopping and rereading it. And even in High School they tried to get you reading all the classical stuff. That was hard for me, and still is. I feel bad that I couldn’t do it. And I really tried. Come to think of it, I struggled with reading all through High School and felt bad because of it. I went to a Christian college, and that was better because I could pick and choose my courses. And I developed a strong desire to write research papers; and so, I could pick and choose the books I wanted to use.

I encouraged my daughter to let her oldest child read at her own pace and read only what interests her. I think that is so important—important for me too, so that I don’t get discouraged. I read a book on Lewis and Clark. I read it slow (and twice), and I really enjoyed it. What an adventure. In the last few months I’ve been reading a series on the Heroes of the Faith, by different authors. All the books are very readable—I suppose by design. I’m reading about George Muller now. Before that I read about Martin Luther, John Wesley, Charles Finney, and others. I’m loving it. It’s too bad my High School teachers didn’t give me more readable choices. Why were they pushing the classics so hard? Books (text books) I had no interest in. I think schools should figure out how to teach kids at their own pace—and their own level of learning. I know that some kids are really good readers and brilliant. But others are slower (for one reason or another). And we can’t just ignore them and fail them; or in some cases find a way to pass them on to the next grade without helping them.

The Globalists are all Communists

Curtis Bower, in his Agenda Videos, has provided the following information heard on Jan Markell’s radio program. The first bit of info I heard is that all globalists are Communists. That includes the following:

  • The elites
  • The World bankers
  • The Rockefellers. They built China into what it is today.
  • Charles Swab. He has a bust of Lenin on his desk. What does that tell you?
  • Henry Kissinger. Surprise! He joined the Communist Party when he was younger. All he did as Nixon’s Sec. of State was with a Communist objective.
  • The Bush’s grandfather was a Communist.

The following present movements are with Communist objectives:

  • Covid 19
  • Open borders
  • Climate change emphasis
  • BLM movement
  • Fraudulent elections
  • Fake news
  • Our Marxist Universities
  • The destruction of the family

Here are five things that Globalists/Communists are expecting to happen in the near future:

  1. The recent phrase that the Globalist are repeating, “You’ll own nothing and be happy:” This sounds like the first plank of the Communist Manifesto—which is the abolition of private property.
  2. They want and are planning to have another pandemic. They say it will be in 2025 and will hit mostly the young people. Their objective is to reduce earth’s population.
  3. They want healthcare and climate change to unite under WHO.
  4. They want another Civil war in America. Open borders with race hate will be on the agenda.
  5. Eventually, they want to take away all our weapons. They already have done this in Australia.

Prayer Needed

It seems that all globalists are looking at 2030 as a time that Communists objectives will be locked into place.  If we pray against it we can stop it, or at least slow it down. Pray for a GREAT AWAKENING! Pray for fair elections this November. It will make a Big difference.

Israel: A Time for War

Posted on by

I understand when people—good people—say that Israel should stop the shooting; that there has been enough killing. I heard a good man the other day say that there is anger and hatred on both sides—from Hamas and Israel. I have heard also that the war is senseless; also, that the Palestinians have a right to live there in peace.

Well, I sort of understand; but I don’t think that these people quite understand Israel’s situation. Israel wants to live in peace and they have been giving the Palestinians every chance to live in peace in Israel. But the Palestinians, and especially Hamas, are a people of war and terror. They hate Israel and constantly plan to some day push them into the sea—to destroy them and claim all the land. But Israel’s land was promised to the Jews by God (Gen 12).

Ever since God gave them the land many waring nations have come against them and terrorized them—like the Philistines and the Amorites. And it is the same today. Hamas and the Palestinians (backed by Iran) have been terrorizing them with rockets; and they hide in tunnels ready to pop out with surprise attacks.

In Israel’s history, under the leadership of king David, Israel was constantly at war with their enemies. And God was in favor of it. In fact, He commanded it. War for them was absolutely necessary to keep them at peace, to keep them safe. Solomon even wrote in his book of Ecclesiastes that there is “a time for war” (Ecc. 3:8).

I think we should recognize now in this day that God has given the leaders if Israel wisdom in seeing that for them it is also “a time for war.” They know that they cannot sit back any longer to let their enemies terrorize them. They must protect themselves. They must rid themselves of all those who are hiding in every corner and in every tunnel with every intent to kill them. We have heard that it will take a good year longer to wipe them out and finish the war. I don’t know why we (US) and the rest of the world can’t back them up and support them in this war effort (or at least leave them alone. This war is a good work they are doing, and from God!

Rudy Giuliani: Ordered to Pay $150 Million

Posted on by

On Dec. 15th Rudy Giuliani was ordered [by Judge Beryl Howell] to pay $150 million to former Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.

As Giuliani was leaving the courtroom, he said to reporters, “We will move for a new trial… The absurdity of the number underscores the absurdity of the entire proceeding… I was not allowed to offer one single piece of evidence in defense—of which I have a lot…when I get to go before a fair tribunal it will be reversed quickly.”

Giuliani said that he didn’t testify because the judge told him that if he made any mistakes she would call it contempt and would probably lock him up.

Election workers: Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman

We can’t be sure of what evidence Giuliani will present, but generally it will be of “sneaking in ballots in suitcases” and of “counting ballots multiple times.”

This case is very troubling to me, because as you heard, the judge did not allow Rudy to present one single piece of evidence. And if he did or said anything that she didn’t agree with she would call it contempt and lock him up—and we know she would!

It is also very troubling to see this good man disregarded for all the good he has done for this country, and is treated so badly. I went to Wikipedia and saw multiple pages of his works. He is best known for his prosecuting organized crime (and particularly mafia families), and for his mayorship of New York City and how he drastically reducing the crime rate there.

Here is a list I compiled from Wikipedia of all the good things he has done for this country from 1981 to 2016.

  1. In 1981, Giuliani was named associate attorney general in the Reagan administration.
  2. In a well-publicized 1982 case, Giuliani testified in defense of the federal government’s “detention posture” regarding the internment of more than 2,000 Haitian asylum seekers who had entered the country illegally.
  3. In 1983, Giuliani was appointed to be U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
  4. It was in this position that he first gained national prominence by prosecuting numerous high-profile cases.
  5. He also focused on prosecuting drug dealers, organized crime, and corruption in government. He amassed a record of 4,152 convictions and 25 reversals.
  6. As a federal prosecutor, Giuliani was credited with bringing the perp walk, parading of suspects in front of the previously alerted media, into common use as a prosecutorial tool. After Giuliani “patented the perp walk”, the tool was used by increasing numbers of prosecutors nationwide.
  7. In 1985, through November 19, 1986, Giuliani indicted eleven organized crime figures, including the heads of New York City’s so-called “Five Families“, under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) on charges including extortion, labor racketeering, and murder for hire. 
  8. Time magazine called this “case of cases” possibly “the most significant assault on the infrastructure of organized crime since the high command of the Chicago Mafia was swept away in 1943.”
  9. In 1987 three heads of the Five Families were sentenced to 100 years in prison. Genovese and Colombo leaders, Tony Salerno and Carmine Persico, received additional sentences in separate trials, with 70-year and 39-year sentences to run consecutively.
  10. According to Giuliani, the Sicilian Mafia offered $800,000 for his death during his first year as mayor of New York in 1994.  
  11. Giuliani served as the 107th mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001.
  12. Giuliani’s popularity was at its highest point to date, with a late October 1997 Quinnipiac University Polling Institute poll showing him as having a 68 percent approval rating; 70 percent of New Yorkers were satisfied with life in the city and 64 percent said things were better in the city compared to four years previously.
  13. During Giuliani’s administration, crime rates dropped in New York City. 
  14. On 2001Giuliani gained international attention in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and was widely hailed for his leadership role during the crisis.  Oprah Winfrey called him “America’s Mayor” at a 9/11 memorial service held at Yankee Stadium. 
  15. On December 24, 2001, Time magazine named Giuliani its Person of the Year for 2001. Time observed that, before 9/11, Giuliani’s public image had been that of a rigid, self-righteous, ambitious politician. After 9/11, and perhaps owing also to his bout with prostate cancer, his public image became that of a man who could be counted on to unite a city in the midst of its greatest crisis.
  16. With time, Giuliani’s legacy will be based on more than just 9/11. He left a city immeasurably better off – safer, more prosperous, more confident – than the one he had inherited eight years earlier, even with the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center at its heart. Debates about his accomplishments will continue, but the significance of his mayoralty is hard to deny.
  17. For his leadership on and after September 11, Giuliani was given an honorary knighthood (KBE) by Queen Elizabeth II on February 13, 2002.

Now it is very interesting that as soon as Giuliani began working for Trump, though he was still doing some very good things (investigations and crime fighting), he always seemed to be in deep trouble—financial and legal trouble.

Here is a short list of what he did after 2016:

  1. Giuliani supported Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He gave a prime time speech during the first night of the 2016 Republican National Convention. 
  2. During the campaign, Giuliani praised Trump for his worldwide accomplishments and for helping fellow New Yorkers in their time of need. 
  3. On 2017 the president-elect [Donald trump] named Giuliani his informal cybersecurity adviser on January 12, 2017.
  4. In January 2017, Giuliani said he advised President Trump in matters relating to Executive Order 13769, which barred citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for 90 days. The order also suspended the admission of all refugees for 120 days.
  5. In mid April 2018, Giuliani joined Trump’s legal team, which dealt with the special counsel investigation by Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. Giuliani said his goal was to negotiate a swift end to the investigation.
  6. Since at least May 2019, Giuliani has been urging Ukraine’s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate the oil company Burisma, whose board of directors once included Joe Biden‘s son Hunter Biden, and to check for irregularities in Ukraine’s investigation of Paul Manafort. He said such investigations would benefit his client’s defense, and that his efforts had Trump’s full support.
  7. Giuliani spoke at the rally preceding the January 6 United States Capitol attack where he made false claims [they said] of voter fraud and called for “trial by combat”. As a consequence, his license to practice law was suspended in New York State in June 2021, and in the District of Columbia in July 2021.[27][28] Later, he was also listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal prosecution of Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the election.
  8. On June 8, 2021, CNN uncovered exclusive audio of a 2019 phone call from Giuliani to Ukraine, stating that “Rudy Giuliani relentlessly pressured and coaxed the Ukrainian government in 2019 to investigate baseless conspiracies [not baseless] about then-candidate Joe Biden.”
  9. As of February 16, 2021, Giuliani was reportedly not actively involved in any of Trump’s pending legal cases. 
  10. But by 2023, Giuliani had reportedly incurred seven-figure legal fees in cases related to Donald Trump and the attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
  11. On August 14, 2023, he was indicted in the prosecution related to the 2020 election in Georgia, along with 18 other people. Giuliani was arrested on August 23, 2023, and a mugshot was released.

So why, after 2016 was Rudy always in deep trouble? Here are some reason that I see:

  • Giuliani was fighting for Trump and that spells trouble, since Trump has always been in some kind of trouble.
  • Rudy if very direct and bold, just like Trump is. He doesn’t back down from a fight.
  • Since Giuliani is very good at investigating crime, all liberal judges are on their guard and are afraid of him. They know that if they let him go too far they will be in trouble; they will be found out for the crooks they are.
  • The judge that ordered him to pay $150 million did it basically to scare him, shut him up, and destroy him, so that he won’t pursue his case any longer.
  • This judge wants to assure the country that Biden did not become President through voting fraud. She want to preserve the lie forever and to assure that Giuliani will not be given a chance to reveal the lies—all the voting lies and all the corruption of the Biden family.

Please know that my opinion of Rudy Giuliani is very positive. That he is a HERO! And a brave crime fighter! And he is still at work. Please pray for his good health and prosperity.
