Who Is This Man They Call Jesus?

After seventy years of captivity, the Lord allowed His people to return to the land of Israel. Only a small group chose to return, but they as well as Jews elsewhere still lived under the rule of other nations…Five hundred years later, when Rome ruled Israel, two young Jews named Joseph and Mary, both descendants of the royal line of David, planned to marry. They lived in Nazareth,  but before they came together, Mary became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit of the Most High God.

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Joseph, do not worry about taking Mary as your wife: for the child in her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The child is the Son of God. And when she gives birth to this son, you must name Him ‘Jesus’, which means Savior, for He will save His people from their sins.” This happened as the prophet Isaiah foretold in Isaiah 7:14~”Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel, which means God with us.” Clearly, Mary was a virgin when she conceived baby Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit of God, and she is the much beloved mother of Jesus Christ our Lord, who is still with us today.

Joseph and Mary had to travel to the city of Bethlehem for a census, and to pay taxes. While there, she gave birth to her firstborn son whom they named Jesus. So, as prophesied, Jesus was born in Bethlehem to a descendant of King David. And in the same country, there were shepards watching over their flocks at night. And the angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were very frightened. Then the angel said, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.” And the child grew, becoming strong in spirit, and the grace of God was upon Him. Jesus matured, increasing in wisdom and in favor with God and man.

Now when Jesus was about thirty years of age, a man named John the Baptist came preaching and baptizing in the wilderness, saying, “Repent: prepare yourselves for the Lord.” John was the messenger the prophets had foretold would announce the coming of the Savior. Then Jesus came to the Jordan river to be baptized by John. When John saw Jesus coming, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.” And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up out of the water, and the heavens opened up to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and light on Him. And a voice from Heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Then, after Jesus spent forty days in the desert, Satan, who had successfully tempted Eve in the Garden, tried ways of tempting Jesus~but Jesus would not sin. Finally, Satan took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory and said to Him, “All these things I will give to You, if You will fall down and worship me.” Jesus answered, “Get thee behind Me, Satan: because God has written that , you shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.”

While Jesus, the Son of God, lived on earth in the form of a man, He was tempted in all the same ways we are, yet He never sinned. Where Adam failed, Jesus succeeded. This shows that Jesus is the Savior of mankind~the Lamb sent from God. Jesus revealed Himself as the promised Savior in many ways, including performing countless miracles. His first miracle was changing the water into wine at the Wedding Feast in Cana~John 2:1 “And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.” He healed a man who had been lame for thirty-eight years, a man who had leprosy, who was “untouchable.” The man fell on his face when he saw Jesus, saying, “Lord, if You want to, You can make me clean.” Jesus then reached out His hand and touched him, saying, “Be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him. He brought sight to a man who had been blind since birth. One woman, who had an incurable disease, reached out and touched Jesus’ robe. He turned, saying, “Daughter, be comforted. Your faith has made you well; go in peace.” There are many, many examples of Jesus healing the infirm, the lepers, and the possessed. He traveled the country, healing, teaching, and living the example of unconditonal love to His fellow man. He gained fame, and was beloved by many.

Jesus called twelve men together, asking them to follow Him. He gave them power and authority over devils, and He sent these disciples out to preach about the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. His fame went everywhere, and great crowds came to hear Him teach and to be healed of their diseases. One day, when a gathering of five thousand people needed food, Jesus prayed over a young boy’s lunch of bread and fish. The food was miraculously multiplied, so that it fed the thousands of people there with twelve baskets left over. He raised Lazarus from the dead. There was a man who was possessed by demons, and Jesus commanded the demons into a herd of swine, who then ran into the ocean and drowned. The man who had been possessed was clean, and he wanted to follow Jesus, he was so thankful. But Jesus told him to stay, that the man had a story to tell there.

But the people kept asking for more proof that Jesus was from God. They said, “Our forefathers ate manna in the desert. It is written in the Scriptures, He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.” Jesus replied, “The bread of God is He who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world.” The people said, “Lord, give us this bread all the time.” Jesus answered, “I am the Bread of Life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; he that believes on Me shall never thirst.” Jesus prophesied that He must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and then be raised from the dead on the third day. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting, and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing so many miracles. If we let Him continue, everyone will believe on Him: and then the Romans revoke our right to control the people.” Meanwhile, Jesus taught with great authority. He went into the Temple and threw out the merchants who were inside, buying and selling. He said to them, “It is written in the Scriptures, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.” He taught saying, “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who believes on the Son shall have everlasting life, and I will raise up from the grave those who believe. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.

So there was a split among the people because of Him. Many of the chief rulers believed on Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess their belief since they were afraid they would be expelled from their religious meeting places. They loved the praise of men more than they loved the praise of God. Most of the religious leaders looked for ways to destroy Jesus but were unable, because He had so many followers who were anxious to hear Him speak. After three years of teaching, Jesus instructed His disciples to bring Him a certain young donkey, one that had never been ridden, and He sat on it, and rode into Jerusalem on it. A huge crowd began to rejoice and loudly praise God for all the mighty works they had seen, calling out, “Hosanna! Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest.” But when Jesus neared the city, He looked at it and cried over it because the people still did not recognize Him as the promised Savior.

When Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, Jesus knew that His hour to die was growing near. He gathered together His disciples for a Passover dinner, and as they ate, Jesus took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “Take, eat, this is My body, broken for you. This do in remembrance of Me.” And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them; and they all drank. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. But I say unto you, I will not any more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it again with you in My Father’s kingdom.” Jesus said unto them, “Do not let yourselves be upset: you believe in God: believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions, and I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again to get you, so that you can be with Me. And you know where I am going and you know the way to get there.” But Thomas said, “But Lord, we don’t know where you’re going, so how could we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes to the Father except through Me.”

That evening, Jesus warned His disciples of difficult times to come. He said, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me before it hated you. He that hates Me hates My Father also.” He went up to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, where He pleaded with His Father, “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Thy will be done.” After His prayer, the chief priests and captains of the Temple, and the elders arrived there looking for Jesus. Judas approached Him with the kiss of betrayal. Suddenly Jesus identified Himself to the mob by saying, “I AM.” The crowd went backwards and fell to the ground. Afterwards, Jesus allowed Himself to be tied up and brought into the high priest’s house. Early the next morning, the crowd led Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate. They accused Him, saying, “We found this fellow corrupting our Jewish nation.” But after questioning Jesus, Pilate told the chief priests, rulers, and the people, “He has done nothing worthy of death. I’ll just order Him to be beaten and release Him.” But they called out all at once, “Get rid of this man. Crucify Him. Crucify Him.” Pilate, wanting to satisfy the people, had Jesus brutally whipped and then turned over to be crucified. The people made Him a crown of thorns and made Him carry a wooden cross to a place called Calvary, also known as Golgotha, or place of the skull. Simon from Cyrene, or Libya, carried it part of the way. As they nailed Jesus to the cross, He cried, and said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” For three hours, as Jesus was nailed to the cross, dying, they mocked Him, and spit on Him. Then a darkness came on the land which stayed for three more hours as the prophet’s words were fulfilled: “The Lord laid the sins of us all on Him.” Jesus then cried out, and said, “Adonai. Adonai, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Jesus, knowing that everything was now accomplished, fulfilled Scripture when He said, “I thirst.” The soldiers ridiculed Jesus as they offered Him vinegar by saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.” Jesus tasted the vinegar, then called out, “It is finished. Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit.” Then He bowed His head, and let His Spirit go.

As He died, the sun darkened and the earth quaked, and the thick veil of the Temple ripped down the middle. When the Roman captain in charge saw what happened, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God.” Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two thieves who were hanging on crosses beside Jesus. But when the soldiers saw that Jesus was already dead, one of them pierced His side with a spear instead of breaking His legs, fulfilling the Scriptures, “None of His bones will be broken,” and “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.” Afterwards, two believers, Joseph and Nicodemus, took Jesus’ body, wound it in linen grave clothes dipped in spices, and laid His body in a tomb. Then, as requested by the Jewish leaders, the tomb was sealed and guarded by Roman soldiers. Now after three days, there was a great earthquake, and an angel of the Lord rolled back the stone from the tomb’s door. Frightened, the Roman soldiers trembled and ran away. When followers of Jesus came to the tomb and saw the stone moved, they were confused. Suddenly, two men stood by them in shining garments, saying, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? He is not here. He is risen. Remember how He told you before that He must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?” Then they remembered His words. That evening, Jesus came to the disciples and said, “Peace be unto you.” But they were terrified, thinking they had seen a spirit. So He said, “Look at My hands and My feet. It is really Me. Touch Me and see Me, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, like you see I have. Everything happened as I told you it would because all the writings that described Me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, had to be fulfilled.” Then He opened their understanding, saying, “It is written in the Scriptures that Christ must suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name among all nations. And you have seen these things.”

Jesus continued appearing to many people, showing that He was still alive, which gave infallible proof of His resurrection. And He instructed His disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” At the end of forty days, Jesus announced to His disciples, “You shall receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall tell others about Me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.” As they watched, Jesus was taken up into the air, and a cloud took Him out of their sight. Two men in white clothing said, “Why are you standing there staring up into Heaven? This same Jesus, who was just taken up into Heaven, shall come back again in the same manner as you saw Him go.”  God sent the Comforter to us, the Holy Spirit, to comfort as while Jesus is in Heaven with His Father.

So the followers of Jesus went throughout the land, preaching and baptizing, telling everyone that Christ the Savior was risen from the dead. They showed in the Scriptures how by Adam came sin and death, but by Jesus Christ came forgiveness and resurrection from the dead. They told how one day all the new bodies of those who have trusted God and believed in Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be raised from the dead and, together with those who are alive, will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air. In the new Heaven and new Earth, God will be with His people. He will wipe away all the tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. And there shall be no night and no need for candles, nor light from the sun, because the glory of God and the Lamb will be the light; and They shall reign for ever and ever. Jesus says, “Let those who are thirsty come. Let them freely drink the water of life. Behold, I come quickly; blessed are they who obey My words.”

“He that hears My word, and believes on Him that sent Me, shall have everlasting life, and shall not be condemned, but is passed from death unto life.”

The picture above is Jesus. My mom worked as a customer service representative at the Miramar Navy Exchange in San Diego for over 20 years, and a loyal customer of hers took a picture of a thunderstorm one day from the window of an airplane in the 1970s. This is what came out on the picture, and I know with every single fiber of my being that it is Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I remember when my mom brought this picture home; it still gives me chills. It reminds me of the Scripture in Revelation 1:7~”Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see Him…”

Is There Hope For America? Rev. Roger Anghis Joins Us Tonight At 6 pm ET

• Reverend Roger Anghis was born and raised in Denver, CO where he still resides. Always a student of history he has always been interested in the history of America.

  Having been raised in the 1950’s and 60’s when some of America’s real history was still being taught in public schools, he was concerned that when his kids were in school the real history of America was not being taught. Why America was involved in the war of independence was no longer taught. The patriotism of our Founders was not being taught. The religious faith of our Founders was not being taught and that was the foundation for the revolution.

  So much of the importance of America was not being taught and was actually deemed

  ‘unconstitutional’ to be taught by our activist courts that there is a great threat of citizens of America will forget what makes America the greatest nation the world has ever or will ever see. Reverend Anghis has spent years studying the lives of the Founders and the impact their faith, Christianity, had on the development of America and America’s style of government, which is unlike any government of any other nation. He wanted to make sure that there is a true record of the real America. So many of the modern history books have eliminated the faith of our Founders which is the foundation of everything that is American. Organizations like the ACLU, American’s United for the Separation of Church and State and Freedom From

  Religion have made the telling of our real history illegal in our public schools and the display of our Christian heritage in the public square illegal.

  If we forget where we came from, we will not know who we are. We are one generation from being there. Most people are unaware of the strong Christian foundation of our Founding Fathers. The three books written by Reverend Anghis are designed to bring this information to light. We must never forget Who made us the greatest nation on earth.

  Reverend Anghis has owned a construction company in the Denver metro area for thirty-two years doing all phases of construction but specializes in custom woodworking and custom tile and stone.

  Books published are Bring America Back To Her Religious Roots:

  https://www.createspace.com/3647408 . This book has been put into the libraries of Hillsdale College and Oral Roberts University.

  The third book, Discovering America’s Christian Heritage, has been written but has not been put into print as of yet.

  Reverend Anghis has been a weekly author for NewsWithViews.com since February of

  2010 commenting on our history and current events. He has also produced for 9 years a daily email news letter called the American Intelligence Briefing dealing with current events and the threats to our constitutional freedoms.

• Reverend Anghis has been a guest on numerous radio programs and has been on Day Star and TBN and is a regular guest on the Wiley Drake Show with CrusadeRadio.com and is the host of his own one hour internet radio program on CrusadeRadio.com called The American Intelligence Briefing Report that is aired live on Tuesday at 5:00 MDT and rebroadcast on Thursday and Friday evenings at 7:00 pm PDT.

Are Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio Eligible To Be POTUS? Natural Born Citizen Expert Cdr. Kerchner (Ret.) Joins Us Tonight At 6 pm ET

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution states: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Although the term natural born citizen is not defined in the Constitution, it is defined in other writings by the framers. Many have tried to change the original intent through court rulings and articles, but the only way the original intent of the Constitution can be changed is by a properly ratified Amendment.

Eliza and I are honored to have Commander Charles Kerchner (Ret.) join us on Freedom Quest Radio today. He is an expert on the meaning of natural born citizen and explains why neither Barack Obama, Ted Cruz, or Marco Rubio meet the requirements to be President of the United States.

During the live show, which is today, 3/9/2016, call-in questions are welcome as well as questions in the chat room. You can listen live or in archives at the link below, and you can call in and listen while we’re live.

Ten Reasons I Support Donald Trump for President

Patriot Army of America

1.    Mr. Trump is a successful businessman who I believe truly loves America and can create a job-friendly environment for the thousands of unemployed and under-employed in this nation. He knows how to negotiate from a strong position both nationally and internationally, and he understands the art of the deal.
2.    Donald Trump can reach across both sides of the aisle, uniting instead of dividing America. There are many issues that concern us all no matter which party we may belong to and Mr. Trump has already shown that he can reach a wide variety of people. Many of us are tired of the Establishment, the entrenched politicians on both sides of the aisle who care more about their own power than they do about we who elect them to office. The fact that the Establishment is going after Donald with everything they have speaks volumes, and it’s time that…

An Open Letter To Muslims In America

Patriot Army of America

I write to you as a born-again Christian, one who loves you even as Jesus loves us. In Matthew 5:44-45, Jesus says, “But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully  use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” You see, God loves us all. He is our Creator who loves all of His creation. As a parent, do you stop loving your child when he makes a mistake? Of course not. Just as God doesn’t stop loving us when we make mistakes. Does Allah love everyone equally? Well, let’s see what he says. Surah 5:51 says, “O you…

Just What Day Was Jesus Christ Crucified?

 

For many years I wondered why Easter was celebrated on Sunday and why Good Friday was seen as the day of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

 

As a young man, in my teens, I inquired of my instructors asking, ‘If Jesus was crucified on a Friday and died at 3 PM on that Friday, how does that make up 3 days and 3 nights as you teach me in class?’

 

My inquiries varied but there was no answer forthcoming that allowed me to feel comfortable.

 

Let’s look at what God said:

 

Matthew 12: ⁴⁰For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

 

Jesus had been asked to prove that He was the Son of God and gave this in reply. His Word must be taken as truth as we look into this very important matter. After all, as Christians, we must know and realize the absolute truth as we know that Jesus was and is the only ‘begotten’ Son of God. If He did not fulfill God’s Word and spend 3 days and 3 nights then we are guilty of a false worship and utter dolts for our beliefs.

 

If Jesus was indeed crucified on a Friday and died at 3 PM and later laid in a tomb if we count the days we arrive at: Friday night (1 night), Saturday (1 day) and Saturday night, 2^nd night).

 

Scripture explicitly says 3 days and 3 nights. No equivocation and a clear statement.

 

Most Christians are being taught improperly! By the teachings we can openly see that 2 nights and 1 day do not fulfill God’s Word!

 

Jesus said that He would be in the earth for 3 days and 3 nights as proof that He was the son of God. If what God said was not  fulfilled then Jesus was not the Son of God!

 

Let’s look at why religious leaders taught that the crucifixion occurred on a Friday.

 

We all know that Saturday is considered the Sabbath. But we must realize that there is the Sabbath of every week and an annual Sabbath!  In the Jewish teachings the day before a holy day is called a ‘Day of Preparation.’  At the time wherein Jesus lived just as in current times the ‘day of Unleavened Bread is an annual Sabbath. With that known we see that Jesus was crucified on a, ‘Day of Preparation,’ as set forth in God’s Word.

 

Luke 23: ⁵²Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. ⁵³Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. ⁵⁴It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

 

The ‘Annual Sabbath differs from the weekly Sabbath and this, although hard to grasp, is factual.

 

Also the time we have been taught of Jesus’ death is in error. In the days of Jesus time was measured in military settings and not as we do today.  The 3^rdhour was 9 AM , the 6^th hour, noon and the 9^th hour was, by our time, 3 PM .

 

So, we have learned of the annual Sabbath, the Day of Preparation and the correct time settings.

 

Mark 14: ¹Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him. ²“But not during the Feast,” they said, “or the people may riot.”

 

Mark 15: ²⁵It was the third hour when they crucified him.

 

Mark 15: ³³At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. ³⁴And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

 

As we see, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, was crucified at 9 AM and died at 3 PM. Contrary to what we have been taught Jesus did not hang on the cross for 3 hours, He hung their for 6 hours. Imagine the agony He went through; for you…for you…for me!

 

Now let us regress and establish just what day Jesus was crucified. Remember 3 days and 2 nights?

 

We know by Scripture Mary Magdalene went to the tomb on a Sunday, the first day of the week.

 

Mark 16: ²Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb ³and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

 

If we look at the entire timeline we learn: On Wednesday morning Jesus was brought before Pilate and sentenced to death. He was crucified at 9 AM and died at 3 PM. Wednesday evening Jesus was buried. Thursday was the ‘annual Sabbath, the first of Unleavened Bread. Friday was the weekly preparation day preceding the weekly Sabbath and Saturday was the Sabbath.

 

Now count the days and nights.

 

Wednesday night, (1^st night), Thursday night, (2^nd night) and Friday night, (3^rdnight), constitutes 3 nights. Thursday, (1 day), Friday, (2nd day), and Saturday, (3^rd day).

 

Consulting all time studies we learn that Jesus was crucified April 25, The First Day of Unleavened Bread fell on April 26. Friday was the 27^th and Saturday, the 28^th was the weekly Sabbath.

Although man has changed actual dates, man has not changed the days of the week.  Wednesdays remained Wednesdays and the Jewish calendar stands in support of the days of events.

 

With this being so, Scripture was fulfilled, proving Jesus Christ to be the Messiah, our Lord and Savior.

 

When Mary Magdalene went to the tomb wherein Jesus had lain she saw an angel.

 

Luke 24: ⁶He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ⁷‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ “

 

‘On the third day,’ Saturday, the evening before, Christ arose from the dead!

 

With this said there is nothing in the Bible, God’s Word, to support a Friday crucifixion or a Sunday resurrection! NOTHING!

 

Matthew 24:  ⁴Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you “

 

Revelation 12: ⁹The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.    

 

Satan has been deceiving man for 6,000+ years and will not stop until Jesus Christ stops him. Unwitting Pastors continue to give us teachings that are not in God’s Word and they, themselves, must learn the Word of God as it is written.

 

You may ask why this is so important. What difference does it make?

 

Why?

 

If you try to teach anyone of Christianity and teach that person that God’s Word is true in every sense then tell that person that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior was crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday, you are teaching false Scripture! No matter how you add it up, a Friday crucifixion with a Sunday resurrection allow 2 nights and 1 day! Jesus Himself said, on many occasions, 3 days and 3 nights. Even the people who watched Jesus die in the cross knew that!

 

Mark 15: ²⁹Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, ³⁰come down from the cross and save yourself!”

 

When you teach God’s Word you must speak in truth. You must not rely on teachings that are not of God’s Word! Remember, as a Christian you are a follower of Christ. As such you must speak undeniable words as God taught you!

 

(Closing prayer)

 

Almighty God, Father of us all, we come to You with praise on our lips and with love in our hearts. We bow in worship to You and ask that You accept our worship and render Your blessings upon us.

 

Lord, You gave us Your Beloved Son and had Him die for our sins. Disbelief in Jesus as the Messiah allowed men, who were cold hearted, to turn their backs on Him and deliver death through crucifixion to Him. For this we cry in our hearts. At the same time we cry we are able to rejoice at the resurrection of Your Son as You had prophesied many times.

 

Father, allow us to understand the Words You have delivered to us and to embrace the meaning thereof. It is with humble hearts that we seek You and the happiness of eternal lives with You in Paradise . Thank You Lord and enlighten our minds.

 

Father, as ever we ask for the protection of Your sons and daughters who stand to protect us from earthly harm. Whether they are in military service or in governmental service we ask that You watch over them and be with them at time of peril.

 

Lord, there is also the matter of our own government failing to correctly do our bidding and acting with only their own wishes for their purposes. At this time we ask that You intervene in our behalf and do as You wish for us and instill in our hearts the peace that only You can give.

 

We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Lord and Savior, who is one with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever,

 

Amen, amen and amen.

Mission:  To hold to account any representative or senator, executive branch officer, or federal judge who violates the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Philosophy:

The United States is not governed by elected officials. It is governed by a document—a document called the Constitution. Unlike humans, the document is fair and impartial.  The document acknowledges and protects the natural freedoms, rights, and property of all of the people, contrary to the selfish interests of career politicians and their cronies.

The Constitution overrides the dictates of government officials. It carries the will of the people who ratified it. It may be changed by the amendment process only. It may not be changed by twisted interpretations of its words, by errant precedents set by disobedient judges, or by the pressure of a mob-rule majority.

As the Declaration of Independence points out, it is the duty of the…
