Why I'm a Christian...my life story in a nutshell

http://dailycaller.com/2011/11/25/military-advocates-decry-illegal-early-terminations-of-157-air-force-majors/

This truly is a travesty...my situation with the US Army was similar back in 1989... over 12 years in service (9 enlisted and 3 as a Commissioned Officer)... I knew I would not be selected during the 1st promotion cycle (because I was up against the West Point Officers that had graduated at the same time as I got out of OCS).  But, tradition would indicate I would be eligible during the 2nd promotion cycle 6 months later.

I went to work in the morning, knowing that the promotion lists would be made public during the day...and that I would be waiting 6 more months until the next list.  I was in meetings during the AM and went back to my office (I was the S-3 Air Officer for our Cavalry Squadron) and told the Colonel wanted to see me.  I reported and he told the bad news...I was not selected for promotion.  I told him, no problem, I knew I would have to wait until the "2nd passover" selection in 6 months.  His response..."there is not going to be another passover selection.  DA (Dept. of the Army) has decided they are going to cut the officer corps.  They are discharging you, effective the end of this month.  I'm sorry, Bob, I got on the phone and argued with them...but their mind is made up. It's not just you, they are doing this across the board."

So, basically, I went to work, "knowing" I had a job for at least six months (in actuality, EVERYONE made Captain unless - as indicated in the article - you did something REALLY stupid which resulted in Administrative Action against you - and all I needed to do was make Captain and I could have finished out my 20 years for retirement (because I knew I would not make Major...but the twice over passover promotion selection would have occurred at like my 18th month prior to retirement...so I would have been "retained" - as the article indicates is policy).

But, instead, I went home from lunch with less than two weeks notice that I was out of a job.... devastating effect on my family - from which we are still, literally, recovering from all these years later.

All I had ever wanted to do was be in the Army.  I entered 10 days after graduating from High School.  I was always promoted ahead of my peers.  I was 23 years old and had more "authority" on duty in my position than some senior ranking NCO's working with me (I cannot go into the details because of security issues...but they "worked" for me when we were in HOT status).  I was the first person EVER to achieve a 100% score throughout the NCO Academy (for which I was the distinguished graduate and invited to several formal Army functions, etc.); I was promoted to Staff Sergeant actually 30 days before I was supposed to be eligible because of this...I was selected for 3 years on Drill Sergeant status - during this time, mid-way through my three years, I was also selected to go and OPEN a new training center that was just incorporating Drill Sergeants into their system.  After this assignment is when I decided I would go to Officer Candidate School and join the Cavalry....and the rest is history as outlined above.

The fact that the Army was going to discharge someone with my "credentials," just because I was an OCS officer and not ROTC or West Point, thoroughly upset some of the senior NCO's in our Squadron...and they immediately put in their retirement papers because, they said, "If this Army doesn't want to keep quality people like you anymore - then it's time for me to leave."  I know of at least 3 First Sergeants and 2 Command Sergeant Majors that retired telling me this was the reason.

I'm not complaining about what happened (it is all history now)...I'm just adding my two cents to this article.  It HAS happened in the past.  So, this is nothing new.

IS IT RIGHT?   NO!

Basically, the recruiting theme is (or, at least it was when I was joining) - as long "as you want to stay, you have a job."  (again, disciplinary actions not withstanding).

I was counting on that.  My family was counting on that.  And it was ALL taken away...with only 2 weeks notice.  WHY?  So some bureaucrat in DC could say he "cut the budget."

My family and I have gone through "hell" since we left the military.  There is not many civilian jobs that called for "professional killer" in their job description.  Or had as a job requirement "capable of staying awake 75 hours and still be able to tactically move a squadron 15 miles under the cover of darkness without being detected by the enemy; all while coordinating the battlefield scenario with higher HQ's."  Or, knows how to set and detonate booby-traps during the hours of darkness to inflict the maximum amount of casualties on the enemy."  Etc., etc., etc.

It was VERY hard on us financially, emotionally and socially.  All of my friends were now IN service and I was OUT of service.  Life truly did SUCK for many, many years.

It was not until 2001 when we moved to Maryland (to be close to my daughter who moved here)...that we truly "started over."  It was during this time that I decided to "start over" by joining the Maryland Transportation Authority Police Department.  I graduated from the Academy at age 45...not "the" oldest they ever had...but I was right up there!  But - by the Grace of God - I was able to do so.

I can actually say, truthfully and as honestly as I can relate it here, I enjoyed my job as a Police Officer with this department "almost" as much as I enjoyed military life.  The friends I made were more than friends...the word "brother" is truly applicable to my fellow officers.  God truly did Bless me with this job.

Then, unfortunately, I was injured at work in May 2007...an injury which, despite surgery, never did heal properly.  After "fighting" my health and the doctors so I could stay on duty...after almost four years...I came to the realization that to continue to do so might jeopardize one of them or myself if a "worst case scenario" would occur and I was unable to function at 100%.  That would not be fair to them...or my family.

So, in late 2010, I was praying about this (I really did - and DO - loved that job and the people there)... but the Lord brought a scripture to my memory:  Jeremiah 29:11, "I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give to you a hope and a future."  So, I told the Lord, "Ok.  I will not fight to stay on active, full time duty anymore.  I trust you.  You show me you are taking care of me."

Well, that was December 2010.  By March 2011, they told me that I was no longer physically capable for performing the duties of a police officer.  I submitted my disability retirement packet in April 2011.  (This is NORMALLY about a year to year and half process - unless seriously injured, which I was not).

The LORD moved my packet through with HIS FAVOR on it...He showed my  Exodus 3:21, "I will give you FAVOR in the eyes of the Egyptians (the Authority) and you will not go out empty."

2 months later...I was retired....and working FULL TIME in ministry for the LORD!

I have to admit...I DO ENJOY working for HIM.  YES - enjoyed my military career immensely!  YES - I enjoyed my time as a cop!  But to work for the LORD is the best "job" I have ever had...and HE did it record time...letting me KNOW that HE is the one I need to serve.

Why I have been moved to share all of this...I do not know.  Maybe it is therapeutic to some extent.  I know reading this article started to open up some "old wounds."

But, the Holy Spirit has guided my thoughts as I was going to "villainize" the government for what they are doing to these officers and for what they did to me.  But, as I was writing this...I was reminded how the LORD turned what the devil meant for my destruction and turned it to my benefit...(and don't get me wrong...I was "down for the count" when all of this transpired...the devil ALMOST succeeded in truly destroying my life during this time...but it was DURING this time - that I FOUND GOD and received Jesus as my Lord and Savior)!

Would I want to "do it all over again."  NO.  That part of my life was very, very traumatic.  But, I have come to a place NOW, where I can talk about it with no resentment and no anger (which my family and friends understand how difficult that is and was for me to do for soooo many years).

So, to close this VERY LONG post out...to these military officers and to whomever else reads this post and that it should touch your heart in some way....I will leave you with the Words I described above:  Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you, saith the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you.  Plans to give to you a hope and a future."

REMEMBER - GOD IS IN CONTROL.  Yield to Him.  Give to Him all of your cares...and He will take care of you.  It may not "seem" like it at the time...but He will.

GOD LOVES YOU!

GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL...even when I am not

Sometimes I get so discouraged by everything I see on the news and read on the Internet.  Sometimes I wonder if anything I ever do is worth the effort.  Sometimes I just sit and look at the computer and wonder if I should even "try" to make a difference.  Sometimes...I just "don't care."

Then - somewhere - deep down inside...I "hear" a still small voice.  His voice tells me "I care."  He gives me His Peace when everything around me seems to be in chaos.  He gives me Hope, when everything around me seems to be hopeless.  He gives me His Strength to carry on when I just don't feel like I can go one more step or one more day.

Then, when I least expect it...I receive an email from someone who this ministry has touched...it has made a difference.  Then, I pick up and "go another day."  I know that, for at least that one person somewhere in the world...what I do has made a difference.  They found Hope when there was no hope...they found Peace when there was no peace...they found Strength when they were out of strength...

Then, that still small voice - deep down inside...says "I told you so."

That is probably THE MAJOR PROBLEM in this type of ministry (Internet Radio)... sometimes I can feel so alone...so "disconnected" from anyone...not knowing if anything I do matters in the "great scheme of things."

I honestly say I put in "A LOT" of work into what our ministry is doing.  More so than most other "on the ground ministries" as far as hours go.  Virtually disabled by chronic back, hip, leg, knee and feet pain (basically, from the waist down!), I can only sit a little while before I have to get up and move around...problem with that...after just a few minutes of being on my feet...I have to either sit or lay down for a few minutes....and if I am at the point where I have to take pain medications...it will knock me completely off my feet for at least an hour or so...then, it is back to the computer again...and the process starts all over.

But, then I look at our "stats" on how many people have listened to our radio stations during the last 24 hours...or the last week...and I see we ARE making an impact.  People ARE listening.  THE WORD of the GOSPEL IS GETTING OUT! - OUT INTO ALL THE WORLD!

We have listeners in 92 different countries on one station and over 110 different countries on another...We have listeners in ALL 50 states here in the USA.  We are making major efforts to bring a THIRD radio station online January 1st...a station that will provide a service that, as far as our research has taken us...NOBODY else is providing.  This goes with what the Lord told me almost four months ago when He put it on my heart..."this is a station that will do what nobody else has done in the Christian Internet world.  Therefore, there will difficulties as you work through all of the obstacles...but you WILL succeed... because I am with you and guiding you."

It is true...we have experienced obstacles that I could not have even dreamed about...but, when I refer back to my original notes which I wrote down as the Lord was telling me how to set the station up and how it was to operate and what type of services it was to provide...I see every piece falling into place.  It truly is amazing to watch God work!  Amen!

"Evangelism Radio" will be a unique online radio station...offering 24/7 LIVE capabilities for those Christian broadcasters interested in doing LIVE INTERNET RADIO programming.  We are setting up call in capabilities for listeners to call in directly to the DJ Broadcaster and take questions, comments, etc.  Those are just TWO of the services... Glory to God!  It truly is a work of God, Amen!

But, sometimes I still get "down" over the question of "am I making a difference?"  It is in times like this that the Lord will move me to do something...like write this blog.  I find myself realizing that I DO make a difference...as long as I continue to do what HE tells me to do and to say what HE tells me to say.  But, then again, what else matters?

For more information on "Evangelism Radio" and how you can become part of it, email me directly at brother bob@ftfm.org.  I will provide you with the information as we have it right now.

Please check out our other two, highly successful, Internet radio stations..."Freedom Through Faith Christian Radio"and "Praise and Worship Radio" by visiting our website at www.FTFM.org.

Until next time..."Be Blessed in ALL You Do!"

Make No Mistake About It - America WILL LOSE THIS WAR

Can it be any more clear that Obama is a Muslim loyalist? He has sent a recorded message to the Muslim Brotherhood that he "is on their side and his administration is in partnership" with them! 



WHY? WHY? WHY - doesn't our Congress impeach this guy? WHY - doesn't our military throw him out through a coupe? I and millions more would support it!



He is going to violate Geneva Convention articles and United Nations articles by conducting an attack on a nation that HAS NOT ATTACKED US. We cannot claim "self defense" or that we were "attacked first" (such as 9-11) - we are going across the ocean and attacking a country we have NO qualms with. THEY are in the midst of a civil war (with both sides basically "hating" us) and WE are going to initiate hostilities against them...for NO REASON.



And don't come back with "they used gas and killed children" (the argument that Obama states is the reason). Has Obama "interfered" in ANY MUSLIM country in which the MUSLIMS have been systematically KILLING CHRISTIANS; burning down churches (with women and children inside); or has Obama even came out and stated publicly that he condemns such attacks? NO. 

Has Obama ever made any public statements that condemn the genocide taking place in African nations where Muslims HUNT DOWN and kill Christians? NO.

 Has Obama even responded to the Bengazi attacks Muslims killed 4 Americans, including HIS DIRECT REPRESENTATIVE - the Ambassador? NO.



But yet, despite public opinion to NOT intervene in Syria; despite ALL other nations have publicly stated they will NOT intervene in Syria; despite the Russians releasing a 100 page document that says the Syrian regime did not use the chemical agents - it was the rebels; despite the rebels publicly saying they accidentally discharged them, resulting in the deaths...DESPITE ALL OF THESE THINGS - Obama still wants to attack Syria and depose their leader.



Now, granted, their current leader is "not a nice guy." BUT - neither is Obama! What would we say if they came over here to depose Obama (and with the support of about half our population, I might add). WE WOULD GO TO WAR!

 We would be engaging our "allies" to GO TO WAR WITH US. We would not rest until we "wiped that country out!"

 Well - guess what will happen with the roles reversed? 

THEY WILL FIGHT US...they will bring the war to our shores; to our cities; to our schools; to our churches. They do not have the ability to conduct impressive military campaigns...but they will attack.

They will not rest until the USA is brought down. They will not rest until the USA is incapable of surviving - militarily, economically and - most of all - religiously. They will not rest until America declares itself a MUSLIM NATION and outlaws Christianity.



You may think this is "extreme" and I should not talk like this. I'm giving it to you straight (something Obama and our "representatives" in DC are incapable of doing). WE ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THIS "soon to be" CONFLICT.

  We will pay a heavy price in the lives of our military; in our economy and especially in our Freedom (or, what is left of it after Obama's tenure is over).



And finally - I can say wholeheartedly - GOD IS NOT ON OUR SIDE ANYMORE, especially if we conduct an unprovoked attack outside of International Law, whether it is approved by Congress or not.

WRONG IS WRONG.

 God has already withdrawn His "hedge of protection" from around our nation; He has already withdrawn the Blessing from this nation (despite what the "blessing" preachers have to say - God does not bless intentional disobedience...which is what the USA has been doing for the past 40+ years...which is why we are in the financial mess we see today - that is just ONE indicator).



If this nation IS NOT UNDER THE BLESSING - then that means we ARE UNDER THE CURSE. If we are operating under the curse - that means we are "fighting against God." If we are fighting against God - we WILL LOSE.

  Which means, if Obama conducts this attack on Syria and the Muslim nations respond (which they will) - WE WILL LOSE THIS WAR.

It may not be immediate; it may not happen in one or two years...but never doubt - WE WILL LOSE THIS WAR!

The End of the American Dollar - The End of America - The Preparations for Martial Law Are Now In Place

http://thelastgreatstand.com/lgs/2013/08/26/alert-pentagon-prepping-for-large-scale-economic-breakdown/


Hmmm. It seems as if the discussion of the "American Default" is coming to pass. Years of deficit spending, running the "credit card" to the max, is about to result in the "American Bankruptcy." When that happens...the American Dollar, which is "Backed by the Full Faith and Credit of the United States," is worthless. Then, as nations rush to sell off ALL of the American Dollars they have.....the Dollar is devalued to almost ZERO.

This means you will pay a whole weeks wages for a loaf of bread...if you can find it...if you can afford it.
This means there will be IMMEDIATE layoffs and companies large and small will close their doors...."Too Big to Fail" will mean NOTHING.
This means the unemployment rate will rise - IMMEDIATELY - to around 90%. Who are the "lucky" ones that still have jobs? The six million that are currently in the US Armed Forces. They have NO CHOICE but to show up for work.

Grocery stores run out of food within HOURS, not days. There is NO RESUPPLY coming...who will bring the food? No truckers can afford the fuel to driver their rigs to bring the food. No grocery store can afford to resupply their store anyway. No farmer is going to sell off their ONLY resource...despite the fact the Dollar is virtually worth nothing (what would the grocery stores, etc. use to BUY food from the farmers?).

Riots break out in every major metropolitan city from coast to coast as millions of inner city people are trying to survive - based upon decades of promises and handouts they have believed and received from their politicians.

Local police forces are overwhelmed. Some cops summarily QUIT their jobs and refuse to work (for nothing - because they cannot be paid anyway). The military DOES NOT HAVE THAT OPTION...they MUST work - even for free. They have sworn their allegiance to do so...their salary is a "benefit" not a requirement. They are only promised a "cot and two hots" referencing a place to sleep and two meals a day."

Many in the military will go AWOL... either to take care of their families or because they refuse to "fire upon Americans." But many will stay. Many will obey....they have no where else to go....they are steadfast to the end in their belief that their leaders are, in fact, going to "fix" things....

OR- they will organize and REVOLT. Which, in effect, means they are going to FIGHT EACH OTHER in a military coup attempt.

No matter the outcome - America, as we know it (knew it, or believed in it) IS OVER.

This effectively eliminates the United States as a world player on the world scene...hence, no mention of us during the times of Tribulation in the Bible.

Isn't it AMAZING the accuracy of the Bible!

Come quickly, LORD JESUS!

Message to America About the Political State of the Union

http://thelastgreatstand.com/lgs/2013/08/26/tea-partiers-explode-at-republicans-during-town-hall/


This is so true.  The DO NOTHING REPUBLICANS are as much to blame for the dismal state of this nation as the idiot Democrats are.  What is so amazing to me is the fact that, even in the extremely liberal state of Maryland - the common people who have any sense are calling out the RINO's that are in office.  I voted for Andy Harris in the last election...not so sure I will this time.  I have seen NOTHING from him other than a few press interviews (mostly on right leaning stations) where he "talks the talk" but FAILS to "walk the walk."   The current REPUBLICANS in the Congress are living up to their name of RINO's - especially with the Speaker of the House.  If Boehner would begin to "follow the law" and hold Obama accountable for all of his illegal activity...if he would "threaten" the President with Impeachment proceedings if Obama does not STOP his trampling of the Constitution...if the Speaker would BE A SPEAKER of the people...MAYBE something could be done to STOP the Liberal Agenda from moving forward unabated in this country.  So far - after 5 and going on 6 years - we see NOTHING.

So, my fellow slaves in America...why should we continue to VOTE for Republican's?  The Republican Party of today would be a far left leaning Democrat party from 25-30 years ago.  Ronald Reagan (whose "name" they ALL invoke) would be EMBARRASSED by being associated with the idiots we have running the Republican Party today.

I believe I will be voting LIBERTARIAN in the next election...unless somebody can change my mind between now and election time.  It is time for those who "want change in America" to stand up and say "YES WE CAN."  If enough voters who are sick of the increase in taxes; tramping of the Constitution; unchecked Government waste; corruption in Government (from the President on down and into (and including the States and the Governor's and local elected leaders)...IF enough sheeple get fed up with the "same ol' same ol') status quo - and begin to vote for 3rd party candidates in all levels of Government - MAYBE, just maybe, "Change" can come.

If not - the handwriting is already on the wall.  It is not a pleasant message.  We WILL BECOME just like the socialist European Union.  That, after all, has been the plan all along - by both political parties - to slowly eliminate the Middle Class in America so all you have are the "ruling elites" commanding the slaves who do the work.  It began with Woodrow Wilson's administration and has continued to Obama's (including the "beloved" Ronald Reagan who was responsible for increasing the National Debt tremendously under his administration...and follow on presidents have just continued the debt astronomically since then....this is NOT all Obama's fault).

The time has come for America to realize that the Bill of Rights has been torn to shreds.  It is just a "wishful thinking document" that means nothing to either party anymore.  If either party can subvert it to gain power - they will.  BOTH political parties should be ashamed of themselves.  I am ashamed of them. I am ashamed to call myself an American.

Change WILL come...but not by ANY of the office holders we currently have in place.

Change WILL come...but only if enough TRUE AMERICAN's have the intestinal fortitude to buck tradition and begin to vote for Candidates who will abide by the Constitution.

Which we have NONE in office right now.

I'm Robert Thibodeau and I APPROVED THIS MESSAGE!!!

You Can Criticize Christians All You Want - But Don't Say Anything Against Islam

For Richard Dawkins, Muslim-Bashing Is Different Than Christian-Bashing www.charismanews.comAtheist Richard Dawkins has risen to rock star status for his attacks on God and religion, in particular, his attacks on the God of the Bible. But when he recently criticized Muslims, he was in for a surprise.

It's amazing to me, that EVERYONE is so concerned about not offending Islamists. They are NOTHING to be concerned about. Oh, they can yell and protest...so what? They can threaten and even commit acts of "terrorism" but...so what? The reason they are getting away with so much in this day and time is because of "Political Correctness." Instead of stating obvious facts (such as 'Islam incites violence as a way to Heaven'), the PC society of today thinks, "this might offend them...so we better not say that."

Islams own authoritative written directions - the Quran - proudly declares that the spread of Islam is to be by the sword (war). If a people or nation refuse to "submit to Islam" then the command is to destroy them (Quran 34:28). Knowing this will "hinder" their efforts to expand and control the whole world, they are given permission to "lie" about their true intentions when questioned by the infidel. This is called "Kitman" and "Taquyya" and depends on the situation involved as to which method of lying is involved.

Allah, the so called "god of Islam" is also described - in the Quran - as the "greatest of all deceivers" (i.e. the same name given to Satan). (Quran 3:54).

Islams symbol is the "Crescent." DId you know this is also the sign of Satan?
In Judges 8:21, the word used for crescent is "saharon" which, literally means, "crescent moon." It comes from the root of "sahar" which is literally used for the name of Satan in Isaiah 14 as "Hilal ben Sahar." Hilal (or heylal) is the word used that the King James Bible translates as "Lucifer." The full phrase used in that passage actually means "morning star/crescent moon." That is the VERY SYMBOL OF SATAN - and embraced to represent Islam!

How much more evidence does the modern world need to see who the god of Islam really is? He is the "greatest deceiver" and described in the Bible as Satan. The 'messiah' (the one ALL Muslims are waiting for - much as Christians are awaiting the return of Jesus) is their "Mahdi." This will be the person described in the Bible as the anti-Christ. Oh, yes - everything the Bible describes as happening in the last days and being performed by the anti-Christ is described in the Quran as being done at the hands of their Mahdi...

If you study Islam and place it next to Christianity...EVERYTHING IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN! The corrupt Islamists accuse non-Muslims of corruption; the murders accuse non-Muslims of murder; the Islamists hate all non-Muslims - and accuse non-Muslims of hate; the war mongers accuse those who strive for peace of being wanting war; the lovers of death accuse those who love life of cowardice. Meanwhile, those real cowards who blow up innocent people in the name of Satan (whom I have already identified as being Allah) are called brave; these cowards funerals are referred to in Islam as "weddings" and their victims are referred to as criminals who are unworthy of a funeral.

The Bible is very clear in this regard. In Isaiah 5:20, we read "Wo to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"

To the westerners who embrace peace and believe in Jesus, they do not understand that even so called "moderate Muslims" - if they consider themselves "religious" at all - MUST believe in the reestablishment of the Caliphate and soon return of their Mahdi. This is so they can continue with their conquest of world domination and the establishment of Sharia Law over the entire world!

SO - I have said ALL OF THIS in order to declare - "I am not afraid to say who the god of the Muslims truly is! I am not afraid to declare that ALL who believe in this god will be cast with him into the "Lake of Fire" at the end of days! I am not afraid to declare to the world that JESUS IS LORD!

And if that offends the Islamists - "get over it" or GET SAVED!

Is Civil War Coming to America?

This reminds me of the pre-Revolutionary war stories of how our "representatives" would go to the "king" and try to get him to allow more autonomy (i.e. less government running our affairs).  When we (the colonists) finally had enough...WAR was initiated and we kicked the bums out of our country!

We need to prepare for another civil war in this nation.  One which will reinstitute the Constitution as the basis of law in this land.  The Constitution and the Bill of Rights was not designed to tell the people and the states what they can and could not do...it was made the "law of the land" for the purpose of telling the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT what ITS LIMITS ARE!

It will take an "act of war" (with all of the atrocities that brings with it) up to and including, if necessary, the execution of government officials who are bound and determined to "hold onto power by any means necessary."  We should see them receive the same punishment Saddaam Hussein received if they defy the Law of the Land - which IS the Constitution.

Don't come back at me and say, "Well, the Constitution says we should do so by elections."  YES - that is the "way it SHOULD BE."  However, when one side plays by the rules...and the other side manipulates the votes, cheats and breaks every law imaginable...the election system will not work.

Now, in charge of this nation, is a group of people who trample on the Constitution, breaking the law each and every day, and when it is exposed, cover up every attempt at an investigation.  All in the name of protecting "the King."

I read just yesterday, where Colin Powell and Jimmy Carter are secretly trying to lay the foundation of a military style coup.  Whether or not it is true does not matter.  The fact that it is EVEN BEING DISCUSSED tells you what low state this nation is really in.

The current REPUBLICANS in Congress are no better than the Democrats.  They are trying to "win by appeasement."  Obviously, that tactic does not work.

Here is an example:  Immigration reform.  The democrats, so hell bent on retaining power, have sworn to so devastate the Republican party to the point they will NEVER be able to mount any credible threat to gain the White House, ever again.  This party is the one who offered advise to the Republicans after the last election..."you need to help with immigration reform so the Hispanics do not see you as a threat."

Now, why would a party sworn to destroy the Republicans chances of ever winning another major election, try to "help the Republicans out?"  But, instead of seeing this "offer" for what it was, a way to increase voter registration for the Democrats by almost 1/3 and mathematically eliminate the Republicans from winning forever....the Republican party swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker!

We do not need this type of "Leadership" in Washington anymore.  The long time "Republican Leaders" resemble their Democrat counterparts so much so, you cannot tell the difference between them. The Republican leadership in Congress are nothing but a bunch of spineless ninnies who bow in the presence of the King.

With all of these scandals going on, has the Republican Leadership called for a "Special Prosecutor" or any other type of non-partial investigation?  NO.  Why?  Because they want to "get along" with the enemy. They do not want to be made out as the "bad guys."

It is time for the Republicans to get back to their roots.  To get back to the foundations of Conservatism.  To get back to their base.

If they fail to do so...they are inviting the PEOPLE to conduct the Second Revolutionary War.  And they will find themselves swinging in the wind with the so called "leaders" who are actually the Enemy of the State.

I know this has not been my usual type of message about the Bible.  But, let make this clear distinction.  Jesus told his disciples to sell what they have an buy a sword for defense.  In today's parlance, that could be interpreted as a gun for self defense.  What is it this President and his flunkies are trying to do?  Gun Control.  Since that is not working the way King Obama wanted...they are doing a "back door" type of gun control....buy all the bullets and put limits on the manufacturing of guns.  Hence, no bullets, no guns - all without gun control

This nation was founded upon the BIBLE.  As we approach the End of the Age, the United States is not even mentioned as a world player in the Bible.  I believe it is because our elected leaders have destroyed this nation.  We are there - NOW.

So, tell me your thoughts on this subject.  Are YOU willing to "led to the slaughter" or would you be willing to stand up for your rights?

Why We Must Continue to Witness to Muslims

I am so sick and tired of anyone who criticizes Islam being called an Islamaphobe...but the animals that believe in Islam can do what they want to, say what they want to, act like they want to...and they are called "Muslim activists" or whatever.  I think I will come up with a "new word" that describes them.... "Condemned."  They are "Condemned" to the burning fires of Hell that was prepared for the devil and his angels...the spirit that inhabits each and every Muslim man and woman is frantic because they know their time is short and this is their last chance to "try" and stop Jesus from fulfilling prophesy.

From now on, I will use the phrase (when referring to Muslims) as "The Condemned Muslims" or "those Condemned Muslims" who are "deceived by Islam" ...  there is no other Word which can accurately describe them.

Those who are "moderate" Muslims are still deceived by Islam.  Those who hold to the faith of Islam are deceived by the "greatest deceiver" (as described by their own Quran) - the devil himself.

This parish Bishop is correct... "If we would have done this to a mosque, they would have slit my throat."  Yes, Bishop, they would have.  That is WHY we cannot try to "coexist" with those of the Muslim faith.  I'm not saying annihilate them (that is their response...not the Christian response).  I am saying we cannot, should not and will not support ANY effort to "coexist" by adopting a watered down religious system that tries to take elements of Christianity and mix them with elements of Islam and say, "we serve the same god."

NO.  NEVER.

Jesus summed it up well when He said, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."  (John 8:44-45).

We are to continue preaching the Truth to Muslims...even if they do not want to hear it, we are to continue preaching the Word to them.  Maybe, just maybe, a little seed will take root in a couple of them and they will end up being saved and accept Jesus as who He really is - The Son of the Living God and Savior of the world.  Most will not - but since we are not the ones who decide their fate...we must continue preaching the Word, even if they do not want to hear it.  Even IF it means we, the Christians, are persecuted for preaching it...or worse.  Because IF they do kill us - it means we are immediately in Heaven with Jesus, which is far better than remaining here, among the dogs.

To EVERY MUSLIM WHO READS THIS FAR:

Repent of your evil ways and accept Jesus as your Savior.  Inherit Everlasting Life while you still can.  If you persist in your wickedness, you WILL face Eternal Damnation.  < (notice the period...end of story)!

Is this the "Handwriting on the Wall?"

RUSSIAN MASSING TROOPS IN RESPONSE TO ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE ON "THEIR" MISSILES (which were inside Syria).

On the Brink of WW III, American Media Absent: Russia Amasses ‘Full Combat Readiness’ Strategic... thelastgreatstand.comWorld events are beginning to get VERY real. Where is the American Media? They must be in the restroom or at the doctor trying to diagnose the tingle up their leg when they see Obama. 


Hmmm. It seems to me that this scenario is spelled out in the Bible...Ezekiel 38 spells it out EXACTLY. It also says that Israel WILL FIGHT ALONE (that's right - Obama will not lift a hand to help). It also describes the effects of a NUCLEAR OPTION which Israel will use to STOP the attacks from RUSSIA and MUSLIM nations that are assisting (you don't think Russia would just come down and fight by herself do you? Even the US tries to bring "Coalition Forces" whenever it does something in the Middle East. Ezekiel 39 shows the 7 MONTHS it will take to bury the Russian and Muslim DEAD from this battle. 

For those of you that are thinking THIS will be Armageddon, don't worry. The Bible is clear that THIS BATTLE PRECEDES the Battle of Armageddon. This battle is the prerequisite for the 7 YEAR PEACE AGREEMENT!!!

YES, that's correct! Which means the "revealing" of the anti-Christ is that imminent...which also means the RAPTURE is even closer! ARE YOU READY????

Read what Ezekiel 38 has to say:

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

IN EZEKIEL 39 you can see that Israel IS VICTORIOUS against this attack from Russia and its MUSLIM allies....and that it will take 7 months of continuous work to bury the dead and clean up the mess. Israel uses the captured armaments, fuel and supplies for 7 YEARS! That is a whole lot of captured Russian and Muslim equipment...no matter how you look at it!!!

1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:

10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God. And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

So, the TWO questions I have are these:

1) Why isn't the media and this administration discussing this situation? 
Possible ANSWERS (in the form of questions): Is it because Obama secretly DESIRES this to happen? Has he told Russia that he will not allow the US to get involved? 

2) ARE YOU READY FOR ETERNITY?
You may tell yourself that this is just another "conflict." You may tell yourself that this "Rapture thing" is just a bunch of baloney. But - ARE YOU SURE?????

One final Word on this.... IF you are right and I (and other Christians) are wrong..."what does it matter?"
BUT - IF we are RIGHT - and YOU are wrong...it WILL MATTER FOR YOU - for ETERNITY!

Is it worth gambling on spending eternity in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone...because you were too stubborn to admit you MIGHT be wrong in your spirituality?
Is it worth sending your kids to an eternal damnation because YOU "don't believe that stuff" and don't want your children to have the opportunity to have an Eternally Blessed Existence in Heaven?
Is it worth NOT TRUSTING YOUR FUTURE to the ONE WHO CREATED THE FUTURE?

These are questions YOU must answer for yourself.

Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live..." (KJV). In the "Easy to Read Version" it says, "So you and your children may live." 

WHAT IS YOUR DECISION?

Most people will just read this and continue on....but Deuteronomy 30:19 says your choice TODAY has now been recorded. IF YOU FAIL TO RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR...this choice, this day, will replayed as evidence AGAINST YOU at the Great White Throne Judgment. BUT - if you stop, just for a moment, and ask Jesus to "Forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart and create in you a new spirit...one that is Righteous in the eyes of God and to become the Lord of your life" - then this decision THIS DAY will be replayed as EVIDENCE IN YOUR BEHALF.

The Choice is YOUR and YOURS ALONE to make.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD WHO CAME INTO THIS WORLD TO SAVE ALL WHO BELIEVE - SHARE THIS POST!

If you made Jesus the Lord of your life THIS DAY because of this post - email me at brotherbob@ftfm.org and let me know...Our Ministry wants to REJOICE WITH YOU.

Events in the world are beginning to line up JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS THEY WOULD. 

Do YOU believe?

GET READY AMERICA - YOUR JUDGMENT IS COMING!

So, this "historic victory" now gives "official sanction" to Sodomy and other "un-natural" acts. With this nations continued flaunting of immorality in the Face of God; voting to remove God from schools, public office, public places, public acknowledgment, public discussions...relegation any discussion of God, His Word and morality to "back rooms or in the privacy of your own home" and bringing what once was done in "back rooms and the privacy of your own home" to public embracement and official sanction - is it any wonder why this nation is about to be Judged?

Jesus plainly taught: "Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." (Matthew 10:15); And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. (Matthew 11:23-24).

Do not believe the false prophets who will try to make you feel better and tell you that "God will pour out His wrath on the nation; but He will deliver His Righteous people from harm and take care of them, etc., etc., etc." There is reference after reference to "righteous" people also suffering along with the sinners when God pours out His Judgment upon a nation. Just look at Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and others. The extent of punishment may not have been as severe as that experienced by others...but they endured suffering, hardship and judgment as well. The ONLY deliverance the righteous will received is to be delivered from the tribulation period - which has not started yet (though it is probably very close - given all that is happening right now)!

Do not try to rationalize your thinking, "Well, I did not vote for them; I do not partake in that activity, etc." It is written in Romans 1:32, that those who support and encourage those that commit these sins will be judged just as if they participated themselves! "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Romans 1:32.

So, congratulations America! You have achieved a "new low" for morality today!

May all of our political leaders from the President on down to the lowest appointed official that support those that were able to pass this law today - may they look forward to an everlasting condemnation away from the Righteousness of God which they so exuberantly dislike!

As for me...I'm standing on the scripture contained in Mark 6:11, "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."

But, I'm not giving up yet...not until Jesus returns or takes me out of here...I will continue to walk according to Mark 6:12-13, "And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them." As well as Mark 16:15-20: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

"So, what is going to happen, Brother Bob?"  I'm glad you asked!

                  

               There must be a "falling away" first. This is going to bring a type of Judgment

               on America that will FORCE this lazy, good for nothing church attitude of bless,

               bless bless...love love love...prosperity for all" but never taking a stand for the

               Gospel and stand against spiritual wickedness because we don’t want to offend

               anyone - well, the coming Judgment will FORCE you to choose whose side you

               are on!

This Judgment will bring persecution such as we "see" in third world nations and it will force us to CHOOSE the narrow way or the broad way. Those that choose wisely will be persecuted, imprisoned or killed. But if they choose the broad way, the easy way, the "let's all just get along way" - well, they will not like the end result of their lack of Faith..."

               “For He that has ears to hear, let him hear!”
