The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who is the one true God is not bringing people against Israel, either. It is the sad state of this fallen world that it would listen to the god of this world instead of the God who sees and loves and saves.
–Pastor Ward Clinton
When the antichrist achieves power he will no longer need the “Christian” church. He will always hate / has long hated the conservative Christian church but he will veil his hatred somewhat until it is no longer of any use to him. He will then act on his hatred and destroy the “Christian” (liberal) churches. The conservative Christians (real Christians) have long been an annoyance to him but the liberal ones may be singled out for special wrath as he begins to fully realize what he is really up against – THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE!
If Obama is the 12th Imam, or Antichrist, as some suspect he may be, he will be quite angry once he realizes that the “Christian” churches he had associated with weren’t Christian in God’s viewpoint. We all know there are some churches who have “Pastors” who don’t know who or what God is. If you are a member of a church like that … Why? God calls us to be Wholy Christian.
John vii. 38: “He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given.)” This passage cannot be read without perceiving that it holds up for the believer a second blessing.
The Holy Ghost had been given as a Pardoner and Comforter long before. David had prayed: “Take not thy Holy Spirit from me.” Paul says that holy men wrote the word as they were “moved by the Holy Ghost.” Evidently, then, the promise in the passage above is for the gift of the Holy Ghost in a new form or office–viz., as the sanctifier.
This, then, is the second blessing: “They that believe [that are already believers] shall receive the Holy Ghost.” After this living waters shall rise up and flow uninterruptedly from the heart and life. John xiv. 23: “Jesus answered, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” Here is unquestionably something of a wonderful nature done some time after conversion. The promise is to a regenerated man, for the heart cannot love Christ unless it has been born again.
Now read: “If a man loves me, keeps my words”–all this is in the present. Now comes the assurance of something in the future: “We” — that is, the Father and the Son –” will come unto him and take up our abode with him.” This constant abiding of the Father and the Son in the soul is one of the wonderful and gracious features of sanctification. This is also the fulfillment of what was shadowed in the most holy place, in the perpetual shekinah, the glorious indwelling of God. John xv. 2: “Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” Here the Christian is represented as a branch on the vine, Christ, and as bearing fruit. After this, and while bearing fruit, it is suddenly cleansed.
The Greek word kathairei, translated “purgeth” in the verse above, has for its main meaning, according to the lexicon, “cleanseth and purifieth.” Take it any way, this verse is a death-blow to those who insist that we are made holy in regeneration, and need only time for development. It plainly teaches that there is a cleansing after conversion, and that this purification, done by Christ himself, comes not to a backslider, but to a branch on the vine–to a Christian bearing fruit.

Sanctification is not regeneration. The very words teach us that. They are not the same, do not mean the same thing, and are not used synonymously in the Bible, Hymn Book, standards, religious biographies, and testimony of Christians. They are felt to represent two different things. Justification means pardon; conversion, a turning about; regeneration means renovation, reproduction, entering upon a new life, while sanctification means the act of being made holy. If regeneration and sanctification mean the same, and include the same work, then 1st Corinthians 1. 30 becomes senseless, and should read thus: “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us regeneration and regeneration and regeneration and regeneration.” But the two words are different, and refer to different works wrought supernaturally in the soul, and so the passage reads: “Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” The word “righteousness” should be translated “justification.” Again, the two words, representing different works, follow each other in point of time.
To the Thessalonians, who were Christians, and possessed joy in the Holy Ghost, Paul writes that God wanted them to be sanctified. He said the same thing, in substance, to the Romans, the Corinthians, and to the Hebrews. Sanctification, or Christian perfection, comes after regeneration. The Saviour himself recognized this order, for while in the fifteenth chapter of John he tells his disciples that they are clean through his word, yet a little while after he informs them that they must yet be sanctified, which sanctification, we remember, took place on Pentecost. – Beverly Carradine

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.

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. – 2nd Chronicles 7:14
Churches don’t need new members half so much as they need the old ones made over. – Billy Sunday
Even though our somewhat schizophrenic world rails against it whenever it encounters it or even catches a glimpse of it, what the world wants is genuine Christians living up to their full potential via completely consecrated Christianity. The Church also wants that type of Christianity. Christ does not take us out of the world; He takes the world out of us. Many, if not most, of the problems with Christianity in America today flow from the fact that few who call themselves Christian are willing to fulfill more than what they believe to be the very basic requirement to attain the label of Christian while trying to hold on to the world. “Oh? I get to quote that magical verse and I am automatically counted a Christian and on my way to heaven? Cool – sign me up!”
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. – Richard M. Nixon
Then, when you make an effort to clear up and correct their misconceptions and explain that there is actually more to it than the mere recital of a few words, like some sort of special incantation, you may find yourself being brazenly accused of being “judgmental” and maybe even “narrow-minded” by some who want the “easy believism” and nothing more than that. But righteousness does not consist of being a little bit less sinful than our neighbors.
Then there are others who will claim that you are trying to add works to the equation and we all “know” that works are not needed, not required, and, most assuredly, not even desired. That’s found somewhere in the Bible – right?
Oh yes, I do mean to imply that Biblical illiteracy is a very serious problem which certainly needs to be corrected, we are suffering the consequences of that general ignorance already. It is also quite fascinating the number of people who speak with certitude regarding what the Bible says when it actually does not say what they happen to be asserting in an attempt to self-justify. It only takes a little bit of careful questioning to reveal their lack an awareness of much of anything as to what is really contained and proclaimed in the pages of the Holy Bible. And not all of those people are outside of the church. Some of them, not many, are even relatively active within the church.
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. – 2nd Chronicles 7:14

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.
