Our Religious Freedom's Are Ingrained In The Constitution And Is Part Of The 1st Amendment For A Reason!

We Cannot Allow Government And Politicians To Strip Us Of Our Religious Rights & Freedoms!

The Left has been attacking and taking away our Religious rights one piece at a time, slowly but consistently. We MUST protect our religious rights or we'll lose them forever! In a recent report it showed religious freedoms are being taken away across the globe including in America.

First, To Show America Was Founded As A Christian Nation

Recently, many authors have debated whether or not the United States of America was founded as a Christian nation. I wish to provide a few historical quotes from our Founding Era that lend credence to the supposition that we indeed were founded as a Christian nation.

Granted, God is not mentioned in the Constitution, but He is mentioned in every major document leading up to the final wording of the Constitution. For example, Connecticut is still known as the "Constitution State" because its colonial constitution was used as a model for the United States Constitution. Its first words were: "For as much as it has pleased the almighty God by the wise disposition of His Divine Providence…"

Most of the fifty-five Founding Fathers who worked on the Constitution were members of orthodox Christian churches and many were even evangelical Christians. The first official act in the First Continental Congress was to open in Christian prayer, which ended in these words: "...the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Savior. Amen". Sounds Christian to me.

Ben Franklin, at the Constitutional Convention, said: "...God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?"

John Adams stated so eloquently during this period of time that; "The general principles on which the fathers achieved Independence were ... the general principles of Christianity ... I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that the general principles of Christianity are as etemal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."

Later, John Quincy Adams answered the question as to why, next to Christmas, was the Fourth of July this most joyous and venerated day in the United States. He answered: "...Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?" Sounds like the founding of a Christian nation to me. John Quincy Adams went on to say that the biggest victory won in the American Revolution was that Christian principles and civil government would be tied together In what he called an "indissoluble" bond. The Founding Fathers understood that religion was inextricably part of our nation and government. The practice of the Christian religion in our government was not only welcomed but encouraged.

The intent of the First Amendment was well understood during the founding of our country. The First Amendment was not to keep religion out of government. It was to keep Government from establishing a 'National Denomination" (like the Church of England). As early as 1799 a court declared: "By our form of government the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed on the same equal footing." Even in the letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Baptists of Danbury Connecticut (from which we derive the term "separation of Church and State") he made it quite clear that the wall of separation was to insure that Government would never interfere with religious activities because religious freedom came from God, not from Government.

Even George Washington who certainly knew the intent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, since he presided over their formation, said in his "Farewell Address": "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars." Sure doesn't sound like Washington was trying to separate religion and politics.

John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and one of the three men most responsible for the writing of the Constitution declared:

"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is their duty-as well as privilege and interest- of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." Still sounds like the Founding Fathers knew this was a Christian nation.

This view, that we were a Christian nation, was hold for almost 150 years until the Everson v. Board of Education ruling in 1947. Before that momentous ruling, even the Supreme Court knew that we were a Christian nation. In 1892 the Court stated:

"No purpose of action against religion can be imputed to any legislation, state or national, because this is a religious people...This is a Christian nation." There it is again! From the Supreme Court of the United States. This court went on to cite 87 precedents (prior actions, words, and rulings) to conclude that this was a "Christian nation".
These Christian quotes of the founding fathers will give you an overview of their strong moral and spiritual convictions which helped form the foundations of our nation and our government.

George Washington
1st U.S. President

"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."
--The Writings of Washington, pp. 342-343.

John Adams
2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence

"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be."
"The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite, and these Principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity, in which all these Sects were United: And the general Principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young Men United, and which had United all Parties in America, in Majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence.

"Now I will avow, that I then believe, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System."
--Adams wrote this on June 28, 1813, excerpt from a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever."
--Adams wrote this in a letter to his wife, Abigail, on July 3, 1776.

Thomas Jefferson
3rd U.S. President, Drafter and Signer of the Declaration of Independence

"God who gave us life gave us liberty.

And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever; That a revolution of the wheel of fortune, a change of situation, is among possible events; that it may become probable by Supernatural influence! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in that event."
--Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XVIII, p. 237.

"I am a real Christian – that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ."
--The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, p. 385.

John Hancock
1st Signer of the Declaration of Independence

"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. ... Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us."
--History of the United States of America, Vol. II, p. 229.

Benjamin Franklin
Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Unites States Constitution

"Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, the Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence. That He ought to be worshipped.

"That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental points in all sound religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever sect I meet with them.

"As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and his religion, as he left them to us, is the best the world ever saw, or is likely to see;

"But I apprehend it has received various corrupting changes, and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity; though it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an opportunity of knowing the truth with less trouble. I see no harm, however, in its being believed, if that belief has the good consequence, as probably it has, of making his doctrines more respected and more observed; especially as I do not perceive, that the Supreme takes it amiss, by distinguishing the unbelievers in his government of the world with any peculiar marks of his displeasure."
--Benjamin Franklin wrote this in a letter to Ezra Stiles, President of Yale University on March 9, 1790.

In 1854, the House Judiciary Committee said: "in this age, there is no substitute for Christianity...That was the religion of the founders of the republic, and they expected it to remain the religion of their descendants.'

It should be noted here that even as late as 1958 a dissenting judge warned in Baer v. Kolmorgen that if the court did not stop talking about the "separation of Church and State", people were going to start thinking it was part of the Constitution.

It has been demonstrated in their own words: Ben Franklin, George Washington and John Adams, to the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court, how our founding fathers felt about the mix of politics and religion.

When we read articles such as "What's God got to do with it?" (Primack, 5/4) and "The wall between state and church must not be breached" (Tager, 5/7) it just reaffirms how little, even intelligent people, understand about the founding of our great Republic. To say that this nation was not founded as a Christian nation or that the Constitution was not founded on Christian principles is totally at odds with the facts of history.

Our Values & Our Beliefs...

A Christian has a lot of values & beliefs from loving our neighbor, to doing unto others as you'd have done unto you, to What Would Jesus Do and the list goes on and on.

We all define our Christian faith a bit differently, especially denomination to denomination. While we may all agree that Jesus is the way to our Heavenly Father and is our Lord & Savior, what we believe can be different from Denomination to Denomination . The more time we spend in the Bible and learning from the Bible the more "Christ like" we become as we learn more about God and what he expects from us.

One thing is consistently true... none of us are perfect. We all sin, we all make mistakes and we all continue to grow in our faith and understanding.

God Uses All Kinds Of People To Do HIS Work.

I got into a back and forth with someone on a Facebook Post about Christians and Trump. He said he could not vote for someone who's so brash as Trump, who's had affairs and a list of other things. Almost everything he listed as a negative about Trump was just a left wing talking point and not true. But there were some things he said that were true.

I believe Trump was a gift from God, that our country needed a person like Trump as President to stand up to the swamp and the evil forces against us. Satan is strong, and he's the liar and the deceiver.

Thankfully I know a thing or two about the Bible and how God uses people for His good. God uses all kinds of people to do His work. Check this out...

~ Noah was a drunk
~ Abraham was too old
~ Isaac was a daydreamer
~ Jacob was a liar
~ Leah was ugly
~ Joseph was abused
~ Moses had a stuttering problem (Moses stuttered)
~ Gideon was afraid
~ Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
~ Rahab was a prostitute
~ Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
~ David was an adulterer and a murderer
~ Elijah was suicidal
~ Isaiah preached naked
~ Jonah ran from God
~ Naomi was a widow
~ Job went bankrupt
~ John the Baptist ate bugs
~ Peter denied Christ
~ The disciples fell asleep while praying
~ Martha worried about everything
~ The Samaritan woman was divorced (more than once)
~ Zacchaeus was too small
~ Paul was too religious
~ Timothy had an ulcer
~ Lazarus was dead!

2 Corinthians 12:9, NLT My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.
1 Peter 4:10, NIV Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. It’s not about our ability, It’s about our availability!

In addition to this, there have been numerous past Presidents who made bad choices while being President:

~ Bill Clinton (D) got a blow job in the oval office by his intern while on the phone with Congressmen, then tried to cover it up.
~ Bill Clinton (D) lost the personal ID code needed to confirm nuclear launches (also known as the "nuclear biscuit") for months. "That's a big deal," said the chairman, "A gargantuan deal."
~ JFK (John F Kennedy) (D) had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. In fact JFK has many affairs, at least a dozen!
~ Harry Truman (D) sought to further his political career by meeting with the Ku Klux Klan, which at that time had been surging in popularity and had local political clout.
~ Lyndon Johnson (D) said, "I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years," to try and get blacks in the US to forget about Jim Crow and segregation, both spearheaded by Democrats.
~ John Quincy (D) was a pimp.
~ James Buchanan (D) ignored the anti-slave laws, in 1854 when the Democratic-controlled Congress passed a bill that opened up the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska to the possibility of slavery being legalized there, despite a 34-year-old agreement (regarded by antislavery Northerners as a ‘sacred compact’) that guaranteed that slavery would be excluded.

People are people, none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes and do stupid things. Trump is no worse than any of these people.

But Why Someone Like Trump?

Trump, like the rest of us, has his problems. He's not perfect, he's made his mistakes and he's a sinner like we all are!

But he also has a very strong skill set... he's consistent, he's strong, he can't be bought out like so many politicians are, he has a deep love for America and Americans, he'll stand up to anyone, he calls out the unjust, he's a protector of the weak and less fortunate, and he loves God, to name a few things.

The "swamp" we hear so much about is very strong, very deep rooted and has many roots to it. A weak person wouldn't have a chance with them! God knows it's going to take a very strong man to stand up to them and do His work! Good knew it would take a man like Trump.

If Trump is who God has chosen to answer our prayers and protect our religious liberties which the Democrats have continuously been attacking, then who am I to question God?

I may not like Trump, I may think he's brash, I may think he says terrible things, but is he doing God's work of protecting our religious liberties and freedoms? Is he helping and protecting Christians in America?

Absolutely yes! 

In the first two years of Trump's Presidency it's said that he’s achieved more than all of the presidents combined since Ronald Reagan. Very impressive! He’s been the most pro-religious freedom and pro-life president in modern history.

There's a reason we need a brash, strong man like Trump...

We've Been Watching Our Religious Freedom's And Traditions Get Stomped All Over!

During the Obama Administration we watched a full frontal attack on Christians. It all started when Obama made his famous statement which was a complete lie but set in motion the new direction of Democrats and the left, "... we're no longer just a Christian nation..."

America was founded on freedom of religion. It's part of the 1st Amendment for a reason.

Then we watched:

• The Obama's remove "Merry Christmas" and replace it with "Happy Holiday";
• We watched the Obama's remove the "Christmas Tree" and replace it with a "Holiday Tree".
• We started watching anything to do with Christianity be removed like the 10 Commandments from Government buildings and much, much more.
• We watched the Obama Administration’s war against churches. (During COVID we've watched Democrat Governors and Mayors attack Churches.)
• President Obama’s administration actually argued there is not a freedom to exercise one’s religion. Instead, his administration argued there was only a freedom of worship. The Supreme Court rejected his position 9-0, but the administration’s antagonism toward faith-based voters continued. (Another reason why the Supreme Court is so important to people of faith.)
• We watched Obama’s Solicitor General argued faith-based institutions could see their tax-exempt status go away if they did not embrace gay marriage.
• Then we watched them go after Hobby Lobby and the Little Sisters of the Poor to demand they fund murdering children.

We have been watching the attack against our Christian values and the foundation of religion intertwined into this country being unraveled! Obama did great damage to our religious rights, but it didn't start with him, and there will be those after him like Biden-Harris who will continue the work of the Obama Administration.

Satan is smiling.

If you love God like I do, this had to really bother you a lot. It really rattled my cage. I also knew the longer we went down this road the harder it would be to turn the ship back around to restoring our religious freedom's and traditions.

God Gave Us A Strong, Brash Person...

After so much damage to our 1st Amendment religious rights and freedoms we got Donald J Trump. We needed God to act back in 2016 and He did by giving up Donald J Trump. He's a brash, abrupt, no holds bar businessman who loves America and loves God, and I'm reminded of the people God has used in the past to do His will. I'm talking about all kinds of sinners (see list above).

So I'm thinking to myself, "Sure, why not Trump." I was fine with it because I learned a long time ago that every time I question God I'm always proven wrong. 

Now, four years later, Trump has been a prayer answered! Four years later, he's even better than I had hoped and further proof God knew what He was doing by bringing us Trump.

I believe God sent us Trump, and I also believe Satan is using every trick in the book to discredit him and turn people against him because of the incredible work Trump is doing.

Remember, Satan is the destroyer and is a master at lying and deceiving people!

We are being lied to, but because the average person doesn't know how to see through this evil and their tricks they fall for it and become another puppet of the evil behind our left wing media by reposting their lying articles and backing up these lies by arguing with people on social media, even though they have no facts to back up the lies they're spreading out.

God says, "... the truth will set you free," (John 8:32 NIV).

It's very easy to see the lies. Just wait until you see just how much they are lying... they aren't even trying to hide the lies anymore. Then once you start seeing how they're lying to you you'll start questioning everything they say. This is the point of freedom and an open mind. Read the article:  https://teamproamerica.com/lesson/seeking-truth-youre-not-controlled-manipulated-others/

What has Trump done for Christians, you may be asking. Let's review this next...

How Trump Has Been Help Christians Not Only In America But Across The World...

As a Christian, for me, the #1 thing that's important to me is protecting the 1st Amendment and our Religious freedoms. Both are under attack by the left. I shared above the huge changes the Obama Administration did to destroy our religious freedom's and traditions.

So let's take a look at what the brash, out-spoken Trump and his administration has done for our religious rights and freedoms:

It's quite impressive what's already been accomplished, and there's much more to come. I'm sure I've also missed some things. Trump has done a lot to protect our religious freedom's and rights. 

Like I stated at the beginning of this article, in the first two years of Trump's Presidency it's said that he’s achieved more than all of the presidents combined since Ronald Reagan. Very impressive! He’s been the most pro-religious freedom and pro-life president in modern history.

Satan isn't happy. Christians can feel the spiritual warfare going on. 

One of my favorite scriptures is: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:12-13 NIV

We need to pray because don't think for a second Satan is going to stand idly by and do nothing! We can see some of what he's doing from the misinformation articles, discrediting articles and smear campaigns being published every day. It's our job to seek "truth" and pray for discernment to know what's right and what isn't.

Remember, the left is masterful at writing smear campaigns, discredit campaigns and misinformation campaigns to control your thoughts. Even the Bible teaches us to "capture our thoughts". 

Here's an example of two they've published:

• Trump Secretly Mocks His Christian Supporters - The Atlantic - Smear campaign
• No, Donald Trump he did not 'save Christianity' - Discredit campaign

Both of these articles were written by a left wing journalist for a left wing media company. These articles are designed to make you think Trump is bad for Christians and that Christians are walking away from Trump. These articles are not based on facts, but instead on one's "opinion" which is subjective. But what's clear is these hit pieces were designed to break away at our armor and allow evil in. A strong Christian who knows the Bible would see right through these articles!

Neither of these articles are true, but they want you to think they are. Unfortunately, people generally tend to "follow the crowd". People think to themselves, "If others are doing it then I should too." People are losing their "independent thinking".

Here's another left wing attack on Christians and what they think of us... Chris Cuomo: Get In The Closet, Serious Christians, Your Kind Aren't Welcome In Public Life. Chris is an anchor on CNN, a global media company. This is how the bulk of the left feels.

Christians have been the most persecuted group in the world! We're even being attacked by our media companies, and remember what I shared with you above what the Obama Administration did to our religious freedom's and liberties.

All of the answers are in the Bible. The Bible talks extensively about evil and what to watch out for and how to combat against it. The one consistent thing the Bible points out is the importance of TRUTH. We know Satan lies. We know Satan is the deceiver. Read the article I shared (https://teamproamerica.com/lesson/seeking-truth-youre-not-controlled-manipulated-others/) to see how the left wing media is lying to us and how you can confirm they're lying, and how to seek the truth.

The Media Is Our Real Enemy...

Even though Trump has been doing absolutely remarkable things, there is still evil upon us doing everything they can to destroy what God has given us with Trump. We see that evil in the left wing media.

Have you ever watched the Left Behind series? (Link is to YouTube playlist where you can watch them.)

The series I watched had Kirk Cameron in it. Do you remember how Satan used the news media to control people, to only share the narrative they wanted the people to see? How people had to go underground to spread the truth to people?

These shows were based off the Bible and our End Times as written in the book of Revelations.

If you remember correctly, most people were brain-washed to the narrative of the media and were even turning in their friends, family and neighbors to the authority who weren't following the rules by the government. Hitler used the media for the same reason in the same way. We've also watched New York and California create "tell on your neighbor" nark lines.

This is exactly what's happening today with the mainstream media. They are using smear campaigns, discredit campaigns and carefully constructed misinformation campaigns to control how we view things, how we feel about someone and how to feel overall. By controlling the narrative they control their viewers beliefs. I write about how and why the Media does this in numerous articles here.

Ultimately, the Left wing media must discredit anyone who's doing God's work, who's trying to create unity and bring us back together as a united nation. The Left must keep us divided if they're going to be able to move us in the direction they want the country to go. Unity is not allowed!

To control the narrative, in addition to what I've already discussed, they also censor information they do not want us to see. This is the first time ever in the history of America the media and big tech have worked together to intentionally censor information.

You should be scared, very scared. How can't you see the work of evil in all of this?

Now, I'm not going to go into great detail about this because I've already written an article on how not to be manipulated and controlled by the left wing media or anyone else. You can read it here:  https://teamproamerica.com/lesson/seeking-truth-youre-not-controlled-manipulated-others/

The key is you need to know your enemy. Read the above article and you'll have a much clearer understanding of how the media is controlling people and what you can do so you're not another brain-washed puppet of theirs.

There are articles being written weekly about the lies of the left. Here are a few of those articles:

• Dennis Prager: America is drowning in the lies of the left
• The Media Are Lying To You About Everything, Including The Riots
• As Biden falls in the polls, the media's lies get bigger
• The Media Are Lying About The Election Again
• Biggest Mainstream Media Lies Of 2019 (In this article they discussed how it affected citizens and how they reacted to the lies)
• The 10 Biggest Media Lies About Donald Trump
• The Media's Top Lies and Spins About COVID-19
• Joe Biden Lies All The Time, But The Media Just Plays Along
• Even during coronavirus crisis, liberal media can’t resist spreading lies

If you want to see more to start learning the "patterns" of their lies and how they're lying, just do an internet search using Bing for searches like "media lying". NEVER use Google to do research, they are by far the worst at censoring information, meaning, you won't find articles and studies that go against what the Left wants you to know.

The point here is you absolutely cannot trust the Left Wing Media. They are narrative driven, not fact based and they are trying to push a narrative to support the agenda they're after. Ultimately the Left wants Communism in America, but the way to get there is through socialism first which is why you're seeing the massive push for socialism on the left.

Let's move on.

The Democrats & Left NEED To End Our Devotion and Commitment To God and His Word

There are some consistent factors about Christians...

• For the most part, we're very united. 
  • This is a big problem for the left. They need us divided to better control us.
  • This is why you see them doing misinformation campaigns to try and tear us apart like what they did with attacking Trump and making up stories about him and his relationship with Christians like I shared above. 
• We believe in a higher power putting our faith and love in God above our loyalty to Government. Again, this is a big problem for the left. God first, not government first!

These are obvious points about Christians.

Did you know China is shutting down all Christian churches including putting Pastors who will not follow China's rules for churches into jail? Did you know China is re-writing the Bible so it supports the Chinese Government's rules and teaches people that government is first, not God?

Tyrant governments cannot have their citizen's believing in something greater than the government.

Then we watch the attack on churches and Christians in America even with Trump as President like Governors of states not allowing churches to open up at all because of COVID, but are allowing other businesses to open.

Collectively, we all need to pray for this country and for Donald J Trump. This country and our President needs all of our prayers.

There is a lot I'd love to share with you. I'm just going to say here that I seriously hesitate to have this conversation because it's an easy one to attack as a conspiracy theory, which is exactly what the left will do... attack the other points I'd like to share here as just a conspiracy theory.

Maybe I should just save this point for another day and leave this article as is since I've addressed the main point I had on my heart that I needed to share. I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. One day when God puts it on my heart and provides me with the information I need to share this topic with you, then I will. 

However, if you're curious you can always do an internet search. Just remember, do NOT solely use Google for these types of internet searches because Google censors information so you can't find what they don't want you to find. Instead, use DuckDuckGo.com for your internet searches.

A Bible Study On Our Thoughts, Fear & How Satan Deceives Us & Controls People...

(I've had this since 2012 when I did a study of Thoughts, Our Mind and What We Say. It's in a Word Doc and I don't remember where I got it. I hope you find this as helpful as I have.)

The Bible says, "you're in the palm of God's hand and no man can snatch you away". But he can deceive you in the mental area if you allow him to. Jesus called Satan in John 8:44, the "father of lies and all that is false". And I can't think of any area that keeps more people in bondage than this area of our thought life. Satan specializes in worry, fear, anxiety, confusion, and doubt. He is a master deceiver and he knows that he can control and manipulate our whole lives by simply affecting the way we think.

Your mind is the bulls' eye of Satan's target. The only entrance Satan has into your personality, your emotions, into your thoughts is through your mind.

But fortunately, friend, you control that ever important doorway. The only access the enemy has in your life is the access you allow him to have. That's why the Bible says in Ephesians 4:27, "Give no place to the devil". Don't give him any place in your mind or in your thoughts. You've got to be very selective and very cautious about what you choose to think about. You've got to take control of your life by standing guard over your thought life.

The Bible says in Proverbs 3:27, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." (I love this scripture.) You will eventually become what you think. And you can't think one thing and become something else. If you allow yourself to think negative worried, fearful thoughts, then you will become a negative, worried, fearful person. You cannot think defeat and expect victory. You can't think poverty, and expect wealth. You can't think the worst, and expect the best. Friends, it doesn't work that way.

You've got to think about what you're thinking about. Take regular inventory of your thought life. You've got to be extremely careful and extremely aware about what you allow your mind to think about. And what you choose to dwell on. Satan would love to keep you living a life of defeat by causing you to think thoughts of worry and anxiety and fear. He knows if he can keep our minds all cluttered and confused, we will never be the person God wants us to be.

But God gives us a tremendous promise here in Isaiah 26:3. It's very simple. Yet it's really profound…it's really powerful. God said, "I will keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind stayed on me." Notice there is something that we all have to do if we're going to experience perfect peace. And that is we've got to control our thought life. We've got to guard our minds. We've got to think on the things of God. But friends, this is not going to happen just automatically. This has got to be a decision you continually make throughout life.

See, we live in a very negative society. This culture focuses on what's wrong and not what's right. What's missing and not what we have. What's ugly, not what's beautiful. Pick up a newspaper today or go watch the news tonight and see if the major focus isn't on the negative.

Every one of us are going to have plenty of opportunities to dwell on the wrong things. Satan is constantly bombarding our thoughts, our minds with ungodly negative thoughts that are trying to confuse us and distract our attention away from the things of God. He is doing his best to slowly and very cunningly infiltrate your mind and bring thoughts of fear and uncertainty about the future.

Satan specializes in fear. Fear of not having our needs met. Fear of not being accepted. Fear of failure. Fear of not living a healthy life. And this fear that he brings creates anxiety, worry, doubt, unbelief, confusion. But listen to me closely friends. None of these negative thoughts-none of these fears will come into reality unless you first believe them and then begin to act on them.

Fear is a force just like faith is a force. If you give into fear and start to dwell on that junk and start to act on it, that fear can actually bring things to pass just like faith can bring things to pass. Job said, "the thing I greatly feared came upon me."

And see friends, you and I choose every single day what we're going to think about, whether good or bad. And if we let ourselves, we can all think of a thousand negative things that might happen to us. What if my business goes down? What if I have an accident? What if my child gets on drugs? What if? You can what if…friends, you can worry yourself silly if you want to.

The Bible tells us what we should dwell on in Philippians 4:8. It's to "think on things that are pure and honest and of a good report." Things that build you up, not tear you down.

Think on all the great things God has done for you, the bible says. In other words, you've got to dwell on the positive and not the negative. Quit thinking about what you don't have and start thinking about what you do have. Quit thinking about what's wrong with you and start thinking about what's right with you. Quit thinking about how big your problem is and start dwelling on the fact of how big your God is.

I know some of you right now are facing tremendous difficulties and you're struggling. And maybe it feels like the whole world has come against you. Well, friends, you've got to start to dwell on Isaiah 54:17 all week long. It says, "No weapon that is formed against you is going to prosper".

When those negative thoughts come your way, you just reject them and you say, "No devil, you may have formed this weapon against me, but in the name of Jesus, God promises me--He guarantees-it is not going to prosper and in the end, I will overcome." See, the Bible says, "When you've done everything you know to do to just stand on the promises of God." Just dwell on the fact that you are more than a conqueror.

Proverbs 3:5. It says, "in everything you do, if you put God first, He will direct and crown your efforts with success."  I began to meditate on the fact that God was in control. He was leading me. He was guiding me. He was directing my steps.

Some days, I'd have to make a decision concerning hundreds of thousands of dollars. And I wasn't real sure which way to go. So I'd go back to my scriptures and I'd meditate on Proverbs 2:6. "The Lord grants wisdom and he gives good sense to the godly. He shows how to distinguish right from wrong and to make the right decision every time." And I just began to thank the Lord. "Father, thank you that I do have the mind of Christ. I'm filled with Your wisdom, Father. And I thank you, Father, You will help me to make this right decision. You are guiding and guarding my pathway."

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  See, the great thing to realize is we don't have to do it in our own strength and in our own ability. It is through the power of God that works in you and me that makes us well able to do everything God's called us to do.

Do you know what worry is?

It's simply meditating on what the enemy says.

When you give in to worry, you're just playing Satan's lies over and over and over and over again in your mind. And see, friends, we're all going to think about something all day long. Why not choose to think about what God said about you?

God says something so powerful in Joshua 1:8. "This book of the law, this Bible, shall not depart out of your eyes, but you shall meditate on it day and night. Then you shall make your way prosperous and you shall deal wisely and you shall have good success."

When those negative thoughts come, there are three simple steps you need to take. The three R's.

Number one. Recognize where those thoughts come from. God does not put thoughts of anxiety and fear and worry into your mind. They are from the enemy. And Satan is the father of lies. You can take just the opposite of what he tells you.

Number two. Reject that thought immediately. Don't even dwell on it for five seconds. The longer you think about it, the harder it's going to be to get rid of. Don't think, "Well, what if this does happen? What if that was true?" No, you've got to reject it immediately. Don't give Satan the time of day.

The third thing is the most critical. Replace that thought instantly with the Word of God. Rejecting and recognizing are not enough. If you don't replace that thought immediately, Satan will come back to you again and again and again. And he'll bombard you. And he'll finally wear you down until you will accept one of his lies. You've got to instantly replace that thought with the Word of God. And then you've got to start to meditate on God's Word. Just think about that promise.

My Final Thoughts To This Bible Study...

Did you closely read the above Bible study about fear and worry and controlling your thoughts?

Not only was this an important lesson and important reminder of how Satan plays tricks on our minds, it shows us how God gives us the ability through Him to overcome Satan's lies, deception and fear tactics. 

Now take what you just learned and apply it to what's going on right now in America.

First, let me remind you that the Globalist (these are very rich multi-national business owners including top share holders of the Central Bank) are the ones pulling the strings. 90% of the news mediums are owned by 6 multi-national companies meaning the globalist are giving their news medium arm instructions on what narrative to push to achieve the result they're after. This is why you'll see the same story and narrative being pushed on many of the different left wing media outlets and will be pushed from show to show on the different TV outlets.

Alright, let's take a look at how the above Bible study correlates to what's going on today in America...

• Satan specializes in fear. Fear is immobilizing and people are easier to control when they're afraid hoping those in power will save them. Notice how the Left Wing Media main theme to their reporting is "fear". When it comes to COVID they must keep us afraid so they push narratives and not facts to keep people afraid. It's about controlling us.
  • On the other hand, notice how the right wing media is pushing solutions and hope. The Right discusses solutions like HCQ which the left is adamantly trying to keep people from using (I explain why here), the Right talks about the science which the Left is completely ignoring or spinning to fit their narrative and to explain why the Left wants to continue with the [unnecessary] lockdowns, the Right talk about the low death rate and question why we're having lockdowns, when the Left talks about hospitals being filled the Right talks to hospital personnel who dispute that point stating they're not being overwhelmed at all and so on.
    • It's like Satan Vs God, Right Vs Wrong, Fear Vs Overcoming.
• Satan is the deceiver, the liar. Like I stated above in the Bible study, Satan specializes in worry, fear, anxiety, confusion, and doubt. He is a master deceiver and he knows that he can control and manipulate our whole lives by simply affecting the way we think.
  • Notice how the Left Wing Media intentionally hides facts, spins truths to push a narrative. The Left Wing Media is not being honest with us. Instead they are pushing narratives to push an agenda, facts be damned.
  • They are using well established mind-control strategies to control what people believe. It's not surprising to run across people who now believe there are more than 2 biological sexes, are okay with men being in women's bathrooms, and many other upside down beliefs. This is because of the media collectively pushing narratives to break-down and change people's beliefs.
    • The Left will support organizations who push a radical change to what we believe like what the Left has done with BLM to push racism in America. First, America is one of the least racist nations in the world by far. The problem is the Left needs America to be racist to push their far left policies and use it as a weapon to destroy our Constitution to "start over again". We are literally watching the Left "create" and then support racist situations because we aren't a racist nation of which the Left Wing Media then way over exaggerates the situation to make it appear to be far worse than what it was. Look at how the Left embraced "kneeling during the National Anthem" and the blacks are creating their own Black Anthem which creates another divide in America but the Left is supporting.
    • The media is effectively changing people's views to things and beliefs. For example, where American's use to be very patriotic, they are pushing non-patriotic beliefs to break apart our love of country just like they are only reporting positive things about BLM and providing them with protection to support their Marxist movement.
• The Left could never get away with everything they do without the Left Wing Media providing protection, creating false narratives to change how people view things, by using discredit campaigns to remove people who are onto them or who could hurt the narrative they're pushing and so on. Remove the Left Wing Media and their deceptive practices and the Left and their agenda would fall apart.
  • The battle must be for the truth. Like the Bible says, "the truth will set you free".
    • The Left Wing Media is masterful at discrediting organizations and other media's who are calling them out and showing people how deceptive the Left Wing Media is.

My point here is if you look at what's happening in America with the division, the fear mongering and the move by the Left to end our Constitutional rights and bring in Socialism which is just a stepping stone to what the Left really wants which is Communism like what you see in China. China is taking down churches and re-writing the Bible they expect the pastors in China to use so God is no longer above the Government. The government must be first, which is contradictive to our Constitution and the foundation to America.
