Pastor Mark Burns said bringing people in the country together means focusing on the colors that unite us, not divide us, and has “to first start with the leaders.”

Time for an Awakening
Generally speaking mankind has been far greater, better, and holier than we now know him to be. This is corroborated by the ancient traditions and cultures of the Egyptians, Chaldean, Greeks, and Romans. Some of our horticulturists declare that many fruits and grains give internal evidence of having been bigger and better than we now find them even as they attempt to unlock their secrets and genetically modify them. This world that we call home is a fallen planet. The animal world and vegetable world are fallen. Man is fallen. Many however think that man’s advance in civilization is a proof to the contrary. They point out the upward march of the race from primitive barbarism to civilization and declare the race is slowly evolving and will eventually reach a high and perfect stage. Certain it is, though, that unless they relate the ascension of the race to the second coming of the Lord Jesus the Christ, their reasoning is incorrect. The present day civilization is certainly not the only one that the human race has known. History, as revealed through archaeology, shows that civilizations have many times risen and then collapsed, closely shadowing the moral status of each culture and nation. To be sure this age has had the benefit of Christianity, and that is the very reason it has risen to the heights that it has been able to enjoy. But other advances in civilization have failed because of the fact that the sin question was never solved. The thing that ruined mankind in the first place was sin and it was still left intact in varying degrees in each civilization and culture that arose and before long that fact brought again the ruin from which it had been lifted. There is every sign, largely speaking, that many sections of the modern world are rejecting the very thing that has made this civilization more powerful than the ones preceding. The Holy Trinity and the Holy Bible with their accompanying morality are being rejected, flouted, laughed at, and ignored. The solution of the sin question, that had taken place in the hearts of a considerable number of the people of the last few generations, is now being tabooed, sneered at, and kept from the hearts and minds of the rising generation. Should this trend continue there can be no other consequence than collapse. Already the signs of it are at hand, to those who have “eyes to see and ears to hear” it is obvious. The only safety, the only salvation, the only hope, of the human race is in the teachings, the ethics, the standards and the experiences of the religion of Jesus Christ. Whenever the society to any considerable extent, embraces these, it begins to climb. Whenever it ignores, evades, derides, and rejects these, then it begins the same decline that has been witnessed time after time in other ages. Our nation is now on the retrograde but that deterioration does not have to be our destiny. – Wholy Christian, by Pastor Ward Clinton
We have a truly unique opportunity to change the direction in which our nation is headed. Our whole word has lurched towards complete chaos over the last 7 years thanks to George Soros’ puppet, BHO and things will only get worse under his other puppet, Hillary, which will usher in the One World Government which will result in unprecedented misery for everyone. Every Christian ought to be engaged in prayer in accordance with 2nd Chronicles 7:14 because we are desperately in need of a Great Awakening such as has not been seen in the land in over 100 years. While he is not perfect, I believe that Trump is the person that God has selected for this time in order to give us one last chance.

Chosen by Voters
I know that some still try to tout Trump’s negatives but the fact remains that Trump was chosen by the voters. The political insider class hates him because they cannot control him. If there is any hope for America and “We, the people” it resides in a Trump Presidency and blessings from God. Those blessings will only come if we pray in accordance with 2nd Chronicles 7:14.

Hang on world! America is going to make a come-back with a Trump presidency.

Trump Troll
Leftists are claiming Milania used parts of Michelle Obama’s speech from years ago, and this is how Trump replied to the controversy. Trolling libs is in this mans blood, how can people not love him? Instead of retreating like certain cowardly politicians we know he uses their playbook against them.
Yay Trump, you are a breath of fresh air.

Prayer for RNC Convention, day two
Let’s pray together. Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord we’re so thankful for the life of Donald Trump. We’re thankful that you are guiding him, that you are giving him the words to unite this party, this country, that we together can defeat the liberal Democratic Party, which seeks to keep us divided and not united. Because we are the United States of America, and we are the conservative party under God.
To defeat every attack that comes against us, to protect the life of Donald Trump, give him the words, give him the space, give him the power and the authority to be the next President of the United States of America, in Jesus’ name — if you believe it, shout Amen! – Pastor Mark Burns
The left is all in a tizzy over the above prayer and calling it horrendous, blasphemous, uncalled for and other things. I can’t help but notice their similarity to the Pharisees of old: The left, which tends to gravitate towards the Democrat Party, has been trying for years to kick God out of the public square and put Him in a box to be opened and used only for their self-serving agenda, if at all; Jesus wouldn’t compromise to fit the Pharisees agenda and Jesus won’t compromise to fit the Democrat agenda. In 2012 at the DNC convention they booed God; video can be found on You Tube if you wish to review the details of that. Suffice it to say, for now: Amen, Pastor Mark Burns, Amen!
Today the focus at the RNC convention is “Make America Work Again” and we will be reminded of the fact that “The Obama years have delivered anemic economic growth, the lowest labor-force participation rate in 38 years, and job-killing regulations and legislation like Obamacare.” Around 94 million Americans are out of the workforce and job numbers are being manipulated in an effort to obscure that fact. Obama and Hillary are both Saul Alinsky disciples and closely tied to, if not completely controlled by, George Soros, a One World Government advocate. A Hillary Presidency would be, at best, a third term of BHO, delivering the same poor results and continuing to crush middle-class families towards the point of extinction. Most likely we would see a complete collapse into chaos and the rise of something very evil which we really do not want to see with our own eyes.
2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Let us pray: Jesus, The Christ, we humbly approach Your throne of grace and ask that You would help us to kneel before You and reject the ways of those on the left who seek to make us compromise Your holy commands and empower us to stand true to Your Word, as found in the Holy Bible, and Your will, as revealed in the Holy Bible and in individuals who truly love You and trust in You, oh Lord, as their Savior.
Oh Lord,we come to you humbly asking that you break the power of the enemy, the devil, who is using George Soros, Black Panthers, BLM, Obama, Hillary, and other anarchists as his puppets. In Your holy name we render powerless all the plans of the evil one’s schemes, strategies, tactics, lies, deceptions to bring civil war and killing in our nation. In Jesus Holy Name, devil we order you to stand down, we bind your evil works in our nation, we render you and your evil powers impotent and brought to naught, and your evil plans utterly destroyed in the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus Amen !!!!!!
Lord, May your hand of protection always surround Trump, Pence, their families and loved ones, as well as their properties. For all of Trump’s delegates we ask that You protect them also with your powerful presence and special wisdom. We ask that it will be a peaceful, albeit lively, RNC convention this week. We ask that your presence will fill the convention hall, much like at the foundation of this nation, and so much so that the lefties will be even more annoyed than they already have been as they sense their schemes being unraveled and exposed. Open their eyes to Thy Truth and encourage them to embrace it and leave the Democrat Party agenda behind in the ash heaps where it belongs.
We pray for mighty angels to go forth and be stationed all around our police, and the bikers especially, at the convention this week in Jesus Name Amen ! I even request your mighty angels surround all the Anti-Trump protesters and even help them to awaken to Truth, Thy Truth. We request and speak victory and a successful convention this week. We ask Lord that You would help “Make America Work Again,” not just in jobs but also in accordance with the founding principles which were based in dependence on You, and that not just for America’s sake but for the whole world’s sake for it is in Jesus Name we pray Amen and Amen !!!
God bless America, land that I love !! May there be a brand new Great Awakening.

The Follower of the One True God must be Holy (part 2)
It is an undoubted truth that every doctrine that comes from God leads to God; and that which doth not tend to promote holiness is not of God. –George Whitfield

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Thus saith the Holy Word of the One True God; the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

The Follower of the One True God Must be Holy (part 1)
It is an undoubted truth that every doctrine that comes from God leads to God; and that which doth not tend to promote holiness is not of God. –George Whitfield
George Whitfield (1714-1770) was an English Anglican cleric who helped spread the Great Awakening in Britain and, especially, in the American colonies. Born in Gloucester, England, he attended Pembroke College, Oxford University, where he met the Wesley brothers. He laid the foundation of Methodism and of the evangelical movement generally. In 1740, Whitefield traveled to America, where he preached a series of revivals that came to be known as the “Great Awakening”. Whitefield was quite possibly the most famous religious figure of the 18th century. He exercised influence over thousands in Great Britain and America by his oratory. He preached at least 18,000 times to perhaps a total of 10 million hearers.
He was the seventh child of Thomas Whitefield and Elizabeth Edwards who kept an inn at Gloucester. Because business at the inn had become poor, Whitefield did not have the means to pay for his tuition. He therefore entered Oxford as a servitor, the lowest rank of students at Oxford. In return for free tuition, he was assigned as a minister to a number of higher ranked students. His duties included teaching them in the morning, helping them bathe, taking out their garbage, carrying their books and even assisting with required written assignments. He was a part of the “Holy Club” at the University of Oxford with the Wesley brothers, John and Charles. He became the leader of the Holy Club at Oxford after the Wesley brothers departed for Georgia. An illness, as well as Henry Scougal’s The Life of God in the Soul of Man, influenced him to cry out to God for salvation. Following a religious conversion, he became passionate for preaching his new-found faith. The Bishop of Gloucester ordained him a deacon.
Benjamin Franklin attended a revival meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was greatly impressed with Whitefield’s ability to deliver a message to such a large group. Franklin had previously dismissed, as an exaggeration, reports of Whitefield preaching to crowds of the order of tens of thousands in England. When listening to Whitefield preaching from the Philadelphia court house, Franklin walked away towards his shop in Market Street until he could no longer hear Whitefield distinctly. He then estimated his distance from Whitefield and calculated the area of a semicircle centered on Whitefield. Allowing two square feet per person he computed that Whitefield could easily be heard by over thirty thousand people in the open air.
Franklin admired Whitefield as a fellow intellectual but thought Whitefield’s plan to run an orphanage in Georgia would lose money. He published several of Whitefield’s tracts and was impressed by Whitefield’s ability to preach and speak with clarity and enthusiasm to large crowds. Franklin was an ecumenist and therefore approved of Whitefield’s appeal to members of many denominations, but was not, like Whitefield, an evangelical. In his autobiography, Franklin famously wrote that he was a “thoroughgoing Deist,” which precludes the idea that God is personal, though some suggest that Franklin was actually a bit more traditional in his views, e.g., his speech at the Constitutional Convention where he recited the verse that not a single sparrow falls to the ground without God’s notice; how then could the Constitution convention hope to succeed without God’s careful oversight? After one of Whitefield’s sermons, Franklin noted the:
wonderful… change soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seem’d as if all the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk thro’ the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street.”
In terms of theology, Whitefield, unlike John Wesley, was a supporter of Calvinism. The two differed on eternal election, final perseverance, and sanctification, but were mostly friends and co-workers in the salvation of souls.
Whitefield chastised other clergy for teaching only “the shell and shadow of religion” because they did not hold the necessity of a new birth without which a person would be “thrust down into Hell.” In his 1740-1741 visit to America (as he done in England), he attacked other clergy (mostly Anglican [Calvinists]) calling them “God’s persecutors”. He said that Edmund Gibson, Bishop of London with supervision over Anglican clergy in America, knew no “more of Christianity, than Mahaomet….”
In 1740, Whitefield published attacks on “the works of two of Anglicanism’s revered seventeenth-century authors, John Tillotson and Richard Allestree.
