I hope you've been stirred by this discussion on America In Crisis. We are living in "perilous times" as the Bible says. The prophetic Scriptures are coming to pass before our very eyes. The following article sums up the dire situation in the United States today.
NewsWithViews.com - April 2, 2007 - The Losing of the War for the Soul of the Nation by Jim R. Schwiesow (46 years of Law Enforcement) writes, "...The battle for the Republic has been lost. Further efforts to breath life back into a system, which has been forever adulterated and transfigured is a losing cause. In order to believe that our system can be re-claimed one must have faith that there is an underlying healthy core or structure, one that has not been made too weak to sustain the painful sacrifices of the rehabilitation process. More than that it would be necessary that a majority of our people would resolve to support such a rehabilitation, which is not even within the realm of possibility given the collective mindset in the country today...
To put it in other terms the cancers that have infected our institutions, both government and social, have metastasized and have insidiously eaten away the very foundation upon which a formally healthy system once rested. The system is sick and entirely dysfunctional...The global elites of a patient and dedicated demeanor have instituted a master plan, by which they have surreptitiously and systematically degraded the morals of the people. And the morals of the people, good or bad, establish the character of a nation, and always have. If the collective morals of the people are righteous and strong the nation will likewise be moral and sturdy. If the collective conscience of the people has been seared and moral degeneracy prevails, the system will reflect these traits. One has only to look to history to identify the nations that have followed national immorality to ruin and oblivion. The elites, though degenerate, are not stupid. They can read history also. They have stealthily engineered the circumstances, which have instituted a change of from good to bad in regard to the belief systems of the people in this nation. They do however believe that they have found a way to avoid the complete obliteration and disintegration of the nation, and are confident that they can subdue the freedoms of the people and convert them into indentured slaves. Their goal is to maintain a counterfeit national identity while establishing a ruling class, which will amalgamate the nation into a new world order...
We have nearly arrived in regard to a total domination by these internationalists. Our remaining freedoms hang by a tenuous thread...
One has to acknowledge the efficacy of the internationalists in their use of our own system in bringing together their control over the nation... And they have masterfully used our capitalistic system to move the people to a capitulation to the global agenda. Greed and an uncontrollable desire for material possessions is driving the people to unwise choices in regard to the surrender of their sovereignty and the control over their own destiny.
As a people Americans pay homage to consumerism. They have been enticed to a slavish pursuit for an accumulation of wealth and material possessions. Money is their god they bow down to it, and if they cannot acquire enough of it by their labors, they will mortgage their souls to possess it. By doing so they play into the hands of the internationalists who encourage this pathological pursuit of material treasure. They know that avaricious hearts will lead people to give up their freedoms in exchange for temporal possessions...
Indeed capitalism is almost entirely the invention of the internationalists. It has greatly enabled them in their pursuit of a new world order. And they have had great success in making it the religion of the masses that strive for a piece of the pie. They may strive, but the great majority will never make it in terms of fame and fortune. The system was not created for their benefit anyway; it was created as a way for the globalists to create wealth for themselves, a wealth that provides the means to acquire absolute power and a worldwide system of governance.
There can be no argument that capitalism has not been responsible for the rapid transference of wealth from the people to the ruling elite. The top ten percent of the adults in the world own eighty-five percent of the global wealth. The rich are becoming progressively richer and the poor are becoming progressively poorer. This is a necessary part of the program for the internationalists if they are to enable their rule over all mankind. They will succeed and then the judgment."
Yes, dear fellow believer, the end time events recorded in the Bible are coming to pass before our very eyes. We are so very close to a catastrophic crisis of unprecedented magnitude that will usher in the New World Order. America has no other option other than a quantitative spirit of prayer by the church throughout the country or a national revival, which is the majority of Americans repenting for their idolatry and rebellion. We are in serious trouble in the United States of America because, as explained in The Losing of the War for the Soul of the Nation, most Americans, including Christians, have become consumed with a gluttonous appetite for the things of this world. God help us all!
For years I have been warning Christians through my television and radio programs to be very careful when voting for a person just because he proclaims to be a 'believer', or uses Christian jargon. I told the people that I was concerned that a certain politician could be masquerading as a fellow believer, when in reality, he is just another religious New World Order politician. Like the pied piper he is leading America faster into legislating and enforcing laws that take away the authority and sovereignty of our nation. Therefore the movement toward a one world government comes sooner than if some other politician who is more visibly corrupt, tried to promote it publicly. This is a serious problem of which the Christian church is still very guilty. The leaders completely deceive and dupe most Christians because of their ignorance and lack of spiritual discernment of the Word of God. Part of the blame lies in much of church leadership for not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. Church leadership needs to be the watchmen on the wall, sounding the alarm by teaching their congregations the signs of the times and exposing the words and deeds of charlatans that fool them.
NewsWithViews.com - April 10, 2007 - Have Christians Become Dupes "...In other words, because a politician or conservative celebrity claims to be a Christian, they are presumed to be untouchable. Such people must not be criticized or challenged, no matter how unconstitutional or stupid their actions might be, because doing so makes one guilty of some kind of spiritual law against speaking ill of Christian brothers...
It is as when the bloody butcher of the former Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, passed away. Millions of Russian people wept, and mourned over his death, even though he had personally ordered the torture and slaughter of countless millions of their fellow citizens. Yet, the poor, enslaved masses of Russians without personal inspection and knowledge of Stalin's bloodlust, and lacking any personal ability to challenge their Supreme Ruler, had actually come to love the bloodthirsty tyrant. That sounds incredible, but, on a much different level, that is what many Christians are doing today. Because a politician or political personality claims to be a Christian or a conservative, countless millions of unsuspecting and gullible believers become sheep, without the discernment or the ability to hold leaders accountable. As a result, they (and all of us in the process) are being sold into the clutches of internationalism and socialism by the very leaders they passionately defend..."
In my lifetime I am not aware of any President of the United States who was a Christian fundamentalist, who believed in the Great Tribulation described in the book of Revelation and the literal return of Jesus to earth at the Battle of Armageddon. Instead they have actually worked toward and/or believed in internationalism and establishing a global government. Most of them are people of the New World Order who have been working toward a continual erosion of the sovereignty of the United States of America. The goal is to establish world citizenship, global restrictions, laws and government, to control mankind.
The true Church has the mandate to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. To be a separate, holy, set apart, peculiar people who live differently than society. We are supposed to have different values, goals and ambitions. Unfortunately, many times the church, led by their leader, has allowed leaven to enter into their camps. The world has affected the church more than the church has influenced the culture. Consequently, Christians that are supposed to be the salt that holds and preserves society, have become polluted themselves with the cares and desires of the world. As a result, America is becoming fit for the dunghill. Let us not put our heads in the sand like an ostrich any longer. America is loosing its freedom because few are aware or concerned over the signs of the times. The walls are broken and falling down as in Nehamiah's era. We are destroying ourselves as a nation, as ancient Rome did, through immorality and intense self-gratification in our lustful desires. Much of the American dream is built on idolatry, selfishness and a gluttonous lifestyle.
Remember, since 1998 I have been constantly sounding the alarm about America being subjected to threats of chemical, biological and nuclear terrorism and/or attack. Until recently, most people ignored those warnings, but now the government is issuing warning statements about the seriousness of the situation. These government news reports are saying, "it is not if but when" these terrible weapons of mass destruction strike America. This is one of the excuses authorities have given the citizens of America for establishing the "Homeland Security Department." I continue to exhort you to rally the church to pray in order to delay these terrible events from happening, or better yet, pray for a genuine revival (repentance) spreading throughout the United States that would stop these incidents from occurring.

www.GlobalResearch.ca - April 9, 2007 - Iran: the Threat of a Nuclear War...After the very first nuclear strike, it will become totally impossible to prevent the use of all of the available means of mass destruction. In the situation of a mass extermination of their nations, the conflicting sides will resort to whatever means they have without limitations. Therefore, not only the nuclear arsenals of various countries, including those whose nuclear status is not recognized officially, will come into play. No doubt, chemical and biological warfare (and, generally, any poisonous substances), which can be produced on the basis of minimal industrial and economic resources, will be used. Currently, one can assert that peace and mankind are in great danger..."

Dear Saint, whether it is a nuclear war, catastrophic terrorist attack, apocalyptic weather problems, an economic collapse, or religious persecution, we the people living in the United States are facing one unprecedented crisis after another. The American church is in for a real shaking. It's during this time of upheaval and peril that the Holy Spirit will draw Christians back to their first love. God wants the believers in America to become separated from the world in their heart of hearts so He can use them in power and authority. The Bible warns us that what can be shaken will be shaken during these troubled times.

OpinionJournal (from The Wall Street Journal) WSJ.com - April 3, 2007 - The Trouble With Islam - Sadly, mainstream Muslim teaching accepts and promotes violence...But indeed, there is much that is clearly wrong with the Islamic world...Palestinian mothers teach 3 year old boys and girls the ideal of martyrdom. One would expect the orthodox Islamic establishment to evade or dismiss these complaints, but less happily, the non-Muslim priests of enlightenment in the West have come, actively and passively, to the Islamists' defense...I know firsthand that the inhumane teaching in Islamist ideology can transform a young benevolent mind into that of a terrorist...It is vital to grasp that traditional and even mainstream Islamic teaching accepts and promotes violence. Shariah, for example, allows apostates to be killed, permits beating women to discipline them, seeks to subjugate non-Mulsims to Islam as dhimmis and justifies declaring war to do so. It exhorts good Muslims to exterminate the Jews before the 'end of days.' The near deafening silence of the Muslim majority against these barbaric practices is evidence enough that there is something fundamentally wrong...Yet it is ironic and discouraging that many non-Muslim, Western intellectuals-who unceasingly claim to support human rights-have become obstacles to reforming Islam. Political correctness among Westerners obstructs unambiguous criticism of Shariah's inhumanity. They find socioeconomic or political excuses for Islamist terrorism such as poverty, colonialism, discrimination or the existence of Israel. What incentive is there for Muslims to demand reform when Western 'progressives' pave the way for Islamist barbarity? Indeed, if the problem is not one of religious beliefs, it leaves one to wonder why Christians who live among Muslims under identical circumstances refrain from contributing to wide-scale, systematic campaigns of terror..."

Fellow believer, America is in crisis! There is a spirit of lawlessness sweeping all through America. The Seattle Times - April 17, 2007 - 33 dead; why did warnings take hours? The recent Virginia Tech slaughter was the deadliest shooting incident in modern American history. Why is America one of the most dangerous nations on earth to live in? Why is crime rampant in our country today? We have the most wealth of any nation on earth, yet the American people act as though they are deprived and starving. I believe the reason is because in America we are driven by our lusts. Unbridled capitalism exploits the lusts of the flesh. It is the American Dream living a life of selfish indulgence that has fed this evil spirit. Even in most of our churches the spirit of self-centeredness and lawlessness reigns. The Scriptures are watered down by the preacher so his giving units do not leave and go somewhere else where they can live in their carnality without being challenged to repent. Dear Saint, please help me spread the unadulterated gospel throughout America and around the world. We are on the verge of an economic collapse, such as American citizens have never seen before. The U.S. dollar is falling and the Stock Market is going to collapse. Terrorism, war, natural disasters, and more, will continue to increase until a global government is installed. Pass this article on to other Christians and exhort them to pray and support this ministry so we can continue to sound the alarm.
