The 2008 election cycle has provided conclusive proof that God’s Judgment has fallen on America. First I shall show that God makes individuals nations in a drunken stupor just before He judgeas them then I will show that this is fact the case with America.The primary Scripture text that relates to the nations getting drunk is Jer 25:15-29 We read that God gives Jeremiah the cup of the wine of God’s wrath. He is to pass this to the nations to get them drunk. Why? Drunkenness involves getting into a stupor.
In literal drunkenness alcohol depresses the parts of the brain that are involved in sound judgment and rational thought. Alcohol makes it’s victims temporarily stupid. The meaning of the imagery is that God will render evil individuals and nations stupid after they repeatedly reject Him. Once this happens people become brainwashed by the prevailing cultural current is moving at the time. Once a nation is made drunk it’s people cannot be reasoned with by logic or facts.

As I write this I am convinced that we are living in the cdays of the great apostasy. In the Scripture we are instructed that prior to the manifestation of the antichrist that there would be a great falling away. I personally know of several people that I never thought would turn away from God turn away from the truth and become involved in moral compromise(”Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ” 2Th 2:1-3)
The Anatomy of Moral Failure.
Moral failure is never a sudden thing. It always begin with subtle compromises that are dismissed as things of little significance. It begins with things like taking a second look, laughing at something dirty or simply getting too close to the wrong crowd, or giving credibility to ungodly counsel. As the temptations of the world and it’s deceptions begin it’s pull then the next thing is to trust in the flesh. This might take the form of a virtuous young lady who is drawing close to the world thinking she is a big enough girl to handle these temptation or perhaps a young man believing he is strong enough to handle it or a mature person thinking that he or she is devout enough to handle the temptations. If someone as strong as Samson fell and if someone as smart as Solomon could be fooled by sin’s deceptions and if someone so devout as to be a man after God’s own heart like David could be overcome by temptation we are utterly naive to believe that we can manage or master sin through our own power. Either we fight sin or it masters us.

Today is Reformation Day. It was on this Day that Martin Luther nailede The 95 Thesis on the Door at the church at Wittenberg.These were talking points intended to promote discussion aimed at Reformation of the Catholic Church rather than a plan at starting another church. The hardening of the hearts of corrupt church leaders resulted in the turn of events that resulted in the splintering of the church into various Protestant denominations. Have a Happy Reformation Day.

What I have to say in this post gives no pleasure. As an American who loves America and America has long stood for I am grieved. But I am first and foremost a Christian and must proclaim the Word of God with the wisdom God has given me. God’s Judgment is now falling upon America. I believe prophetically that God has determined that America will no longer be the number 1 superpower in the world and that America will remain neither free nor prosperous because of how people have abused their freedom and prosperity.
One issue that brings judgment is the massive bloodguilt from abortion. America currently has more bloodguilt than the bloodthirsty Islamist radicals.With over 50 million abortion murders and complicity in the remainder of 1 billion abortion globally judgment is inevitable.
Another issue is the abandonment of Israel. Both parties support carving up Israel to create a second Palestinian state in the Middle East. The Scriptures clearly indicate that God intends to reestablish Israel with the Biblical boundaries in the last days. Disrepect for the Biblical boundaries when God clearly states these is disrepect for the Sovereignty of God.
The third reason is that people do not desire truth and righteousness but whatever is politically correct. We have seen two administrations of both parties who are corrupt. Very few Christians really spoke prophetically. Churchmen parsed their words based on the political implications., condemning the enemies while looking the other way at the sins of your cronies. Like when liberalws condemned former senator Packwood for lying about his womanizing way while wanting to let President Clinton off the hook when he was caught lying. Conservatives who harped about how evil the gay lifestyle is (and it is bad) suddenly looked the other way when wayward soldiers were forcing Iraqis to commit sodomy. Both parties played fast and loose with the truth. Our God judges without bias. God allowed two corrupot administrations to come to power so that would be revealed that all are guilty and deserving of judgment.
Now is the time for people to repent. God’s judgment is coming in the form of natural disasters and the Second Great Depression. I suspect that God will appoint Obama as President as a means of judgment. Now is the time for all good people to repent.

Lou Engle of The Call has published on his website a series of devotionals called Facedown40. These devotionals are intended to be 40 days of devotionals. The emphasis of these devotionals, which are written by various authors, is toward national repentance. Lou Engle is burdened by the Lord to plead for America to repent, believing that God’s Judgment is imminent. In fact both the increasing pattern of natural disasters, such as hurricanes penetrating 1000 miles inland, and the newly arrived Second Great Depression indicate that God’s Judgment on America has already begun

The parable of the sower (Matthew 13:3-8;18-23) is an excellent example of the power of multiplication. Here we find that that the seed of God’s word is sown in four types of hearts. The first three types of hearts do not produce fruit:Those who do not believe, those who do not become rooted and grounded in the word, and those who are not steadfastly devoted in love with God but are distracted by the cares of this world.
The key to bearing fruit is the proper spiritual formation. Things like understanding and claiming God’s promises through confession (Matt 12:33-35; Rom 10:8-10; 2 Peter2:2) will strengthen our faith. Prayer and worship, both personal and public will strengthen our relationship with God. Bible study allows our minds to be rooted and grounded in Scriptural principles. When we do these things, the Word that is planted in our hearts will produce much fruit.
The nature of the production of fruit is that of multiplication. We are told that the good heart produces 30, 60 and 100 times. This has implications manifold for individual success and for reproducing our selves through evangelism.
The charter below should illustrate the power of the principle of multiplication. Let’s say that you start a group with just a few people and you set a goal to reach at least 2-4 people a year per member. Let’s say that we keep 25-50 percent of these. Doubling a year would yield this. The following table assumes a 100% growth (2x) a year. I believe this is a conservative estimate

The key to maintaining this is to have people committed to this vision and to constantly train people in proper spiritual formation. This is how the New Testament Church multiplied. They multiplied from 120 people in AD 30 to 1 million people at AD 100 (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=320929)
This averages to a average annual multiplication of about 5x (400% growth a year!!!!) rather than merely doubling. The key to keeping people committed to this vision is the right spiritual formation in people.

Louisville Ky experienced her first hurricane Sunday, September 14,2008, albeit a waterless one. Windgusts of up to 75 miles per hour caused widespread damage and power outages. I am writing this blog from a friend’s house as my house still has no power.
A waterless hurricane still a hurricane 1000 miles inland. WOW!!! The skeptics will of course put out their spin on why this can’t be as judgment of God or a sign of the end times. They used to say that disasters are simply normal cycle of nature. then records started to fall and disasters kept getting worse. Then they said that certain seasons have a high incidence of disasters. Now they blame global warming. While the skeptics have conceded the facts of what is happen ing to the believing Christian they refuse to accept the Christian explanation of why this is happening. When will people wake up. When the United Nations rules the world as a world government, just as the Bible predicted. Or will it be when the coalition of nations described in Ezekiel 38 empowers a leader to rule the UN,just as the Bible predicted . Or will it be when this coalition leads a global assault on Israel, just as the Bible predicted. or will it be when the leader of the UN is assisted by a religious leader so that they fulfill the roles of antichrist and false prophet, just as the Bible predicted.Or will it be when Christians and Jews are led away Nazi-style in cattle cars to concentration camps.
Any honest person open to the evidence will at least consider the possibility that it is not a coincidence that the Bible predicted these things, and that the wisdom that the Bible writers wrote was wisdom from God. many people wont do this because admission that the Bible is God’s Word means admitting that they are criminals who need to reconciled to the Rightful Ruler of the Universe.
Recognizing God as the Omnipotent Ruler and submitting to the One He has appointed King of all the earth,( that would the Jewish Messiah A.K.A Jesus Christ) is simply something they will not do. They would rather obey the abominations they are fond of. For some it is the abomination known as Obama Nation, with itr’s sexual anarchy, abortion murders, and state idolatry. For others it is is the blood thirst and greed associated with the Neo-communists in the Bush administration. satill for others it is the abominations associated with Islamist political ideology or Islamism, whether it be the Nazi obsession with conquering the world and plundering it, or the prospect of every Islamist male looking forward to an afterlife that is one big non-stop orgy involving 72 virgins. those who live according to the flesh would rather have one of these flavors of the flesh or perhaps some other flavor than a relationship with Jesus Christ. They do this in spite of the fact that Jesus Christ will, in the long run, provide better for our legitimate needs and wants than these morally bankrupt ways of life.

Here is a video of people putting brief testimonies on cardboard. When each person would come up. They would first show how they were. They would then flip the piece of cardboard over the other side would show what God did for them to save, deliver and heal. This video will boost your faith

As I have said before America will lose the War on Terror to the Islamists. The outcome is that as America declines as a world power and the Middle east becomes more stabilized, an Islamist Empire will emerge. This empire is known in Bible prophecy as the ten horns that install the Antichrist. What is coming up next?
I believe that the particular direction that this will go hinges on the outcome of the 2008 election.This election is critical because the administration that is elected will pursue different policies that will draw two different kinds of attacks from Islamists which will frame the outcome of the War on Terror.
McPain
If McCain gets elected. He will pursue policies similar to Bush 2. He will continue to escalate hostilities-this time with Iran. The Islamists will escalate their scheme to collapse America’s economy. Economic collapse will result in social collapse and with it civil unrest(i.e. riots in the streets)
When the riots begin Islamist sleeper cells will blend in with and possibly lead the native gangs and rioters. Foreign governments hostile to America along with global jihadist networks will multiply the effectiveness of the riots. During these riots Evangelical Christians will be savagely targeted for destruction. Evangelical Christians will be fleeing America. America will burn to the ground and become a wasteland.
Obama bin Laden
If Obama bin Laden gets elected then policies that appease the merging Islamist empire will be pursued.These would include fast withdrawal from Iraq. The resulting instability will open the door for the emergence of an Islamist Empire. There will be other concession. Israel will be put on the auction block. Concession will be domestically to give Muslims an advantage. Political correctness will be used to silence opposition to the Islamist agenda. The result is that economic war will be eased enough so that the economy and social fabric can continue to exist. In such an environment Evangelical Christians Christians will merely be persecuted.
Here it is. You get to vote. You can cast your vote for the demise of America (McCain-Palin) or you can vote for the speedy rise of an Islamist Empire that will put the Antichrist into power (Obama-Biden) The choice is yours. I personally can’t vote for either.

The Children of Israel got a lesson in thinking outside of the box when God delivered out of bondage through the hand of Moses. After the ten plagues and after the Passover, when the Israelites reached the shores of the Red Sea, they found themselves in a predicament. The sea was blocking their path in front of them and the Egyptian army was pursuing them from behind. They were in what seemed to be an impossible situation. (Exodus 14)
