Matthew 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

The people of God were never meant to be a part of this dying world system! That could not be more evident right now as we see the very tenets of religious liberty under attack in America. Some folks act as if this is new! There is nothing new about any of this!

Since Adam stood by and allowed his wife to be lied to and deceived by the serpent in Genesis 3, God’s Will has been under attack…and it has been for the past 6000 of our existence here on Planet Earth. The difference is: the gig is up and the devil is pulling a Pat Benatar (i.e. “Hitting us with his best shot”!)

We see events spinning out of control all over the world. In the past year alone, we have witnessed live on worldwide television the following: 1000’s killed in Tsunamis in Japan; earthquakes in Haiti and Tornadoes in Alabama and Joplin, Missouri among other catastrophic events. Even scarier is the collapse of almost every major financial system in this world – from the European Union to the United States.

This sort of thing does not happen in a vacuum. The seeds of disorder was planned long ago and executed in the past 70 years, for such a time as this. Go back to the late 1700’s and we see that a goal of those evil Jacobins, who created the French Revolution to do away with the church and the Bible was to spread that revolution to America. They even had a unit set up in New York city to do what one of its proponents, Voltaire, said was “to kill Christianity” and to make the “bible obsolete”!

George Washington and some other patriots were so alarmed, they put a stop to it.

Fast forward from the 1790’s to the late 1940’s. The post World War 2 prosperity in the West allowed those brave souls, who survived the awful Great Depression and the long World War, to let their guard down. Their children started looking for comfort and new things to amuse and fast cars and the easy life. Back then the great Chicago Preacher A. W Tozer and others in the Bible belt were warning about the loss of  our First Love – Jesus Christ. America would not listen, and began to play church.

Politicians and liberal judges from the lowest to the US Supreme Court waited their turn, until the weakened body of Christ were no longer able to be stand firm….and then gradually we have what we have today. They removed prayer and the Bible from school and the entire public arena.
