If the American people truly understood how the Federal Reserve system works and what it has done to us, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately. It is a system that was designed by international bankers for the benefit of international bankers, and it is systematically impoverishing the American people. The Federal Reserve system is the primary reason why our currency has declined in value by well over 95 percent and our national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger over the past 100 years. The Fed creates our “booms” and our “busts”, and they have done an absolutely miserable job of managing our economy. But why do we need a bunch of unelected private bankers to manage our economy and print our money for us in the first place? Wouldn’t our economy function much more efficiently if we allowed the free market to set interest rates? And according to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is the one that is supposed to have the authority to “coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures”. So why is the Federal Reserve doing it? Sadly, this is the way it works all over the globe today. In fact, all 187 nations that belong to the IMF have a central bank. But the truth is that there are much better alternatives. We just need to get people educated. (Read More….)

This week on ‘The Hal Lindsey Report’ May 10th, 2013 {Video}
By Hal Lindsey
Bill Ayers is the “unrepentant terrorist” in whose living room Barack Obama began his political career. During his notorious Weather Underground days, Ayers lost his girlfriend when a nail-packed anti-personnel bomb she was building exploded and demolished a New York City townhouse. He is now married to a woman with whom he once shared an FBI wanted poster.
Though Ayers has said that he doesn’t regret building and planting terrorist bombs during his anti-Vietnam War days — in fact, he laments that they “didn’t do enough” — he realized that his armed rebellion wasn’t succeeding. So Bill Ayers discovered a more effective form of subversive, anti-establishment rebellion: education.
In 2006, Bill Ayers, who is now considered an “Education Theorist,” told the World Education Forum, “Education is the motor-force of revolution.” And make no mistake, Bill Ayers is no dummy. He knows what he’s talking about.
As an “education theorist,” Ayers teaches teachers how to teach. He specializes in elementary schools. His goal is to have as much impact as he can on the thinking of as many small children as possible. He does that by influencing their teachers. To that end, he travels and speaks around the country. He writes popular books on the subject. He’s honored by universities.
On last week’s Report I made a rather clear statement of why I think America is in such trouble today. I said, “At every level of education, the textbooks, the videos, and the day-to-day teaching techniques were all devised in the God-hating ivory towers of American academia.” Just one of those “devisers” in God-hating American academia is Bill Ayers. There are thousands more like him.
And these people, who seem to despise everything that America stands for and provides for them, are strategically placed to alter the thinking of America by altering the thinking of her children. And they’ve now been doing just that for generations!
Folks, it grieves me to say that too many Americans have allowed the schools to replace their influence in the lives of their children and grandchildren. I think it may be too late to reclaim these generations. But you can still have a tremendous impact on your children and grandchildren if you begin today to take an interest in their lives. Help them with their schoolwork; cultivate their knowledge of spiritual things; teach them about our heritage as Americans and Christians; make certain they know who Jesus is and gently lead them to accept Him into their lives. It may be too late for the masses, but it’s not too late for the tiny members of your family.
Start today.
Last week, a blogger on CNN’s Belief Blog made a clumsy attempt to equate me with Muslim imams who stir up their followers to violent jihad. In so doing, he bought into the prevalent technique practiced by the global media and American politicians. It’s called “False Equivalence.”
That means claiming that two things are the same when they are actually very different. A “false equivalence” is nothing more than a cunningly crafted lie.
Here’s the “false equivalence” that seems most common today. Pundits, politicians, and airhead celebrities keep saying — or implying — that fundamentalist Christianity is just like fundamentalist Islam. I suppose they reason — though I think most are incapable of actually ‘reasoning’ — that since both are called religions and both have adherents who practice the ‘fundamentals’ of their faith, then they must be ‘equal.’
Can you see the false equivalence? Radical imams stir up their followers to do things like the Boston Marathon bombing. So the pundits and politicians try to imply that Christian ministers do the same kind of thing, that is, stir up their followers to wreak havoc. Of course, they can’t find one, but that’s not important to them.
Trying to imply that the two are equal is a lie. But it’s a lie with a purpose. And the purpose is not necessarily to turn the masses toward Islam, but to turn them away from Christianity.
On this week’s program, I’m going to show you some basic reasons why equating Christianity with Islam is, at best, ignorant or, at worst, a demonic lie. Simply put, to equate the intolerant, violent, domination-oriented teaching of Islam with the love and forgiveness offered by Jesus Christ is not only wildly inaccurate, it is deviously misleading.
I believe that “false equivalence” is an evil ploy devised in Satan’s war room. And it’s now beginning to yield wildly successful results for the forces of darkness. Just witness the latest assault on Christians and religious freedom in, of all places, the military.
Radical atheist Mikey Weinstein has the ear of the Obama administration and the Pentagon. Somehow, he has intimidated the Defense Department into threatening to court martial any Christian in our armed services who dares to share his or her faith in Christ. Though public outrage has forced the Pentagon to walk that threat back a few steps, it still hangs like the sword of Sophocles over Christians in the military.
And what “false equivalence” did Mikey Weinstein use to convince the Pentagon that Christians are dangerous? He publicly insists that a Christian sharing his or her faith with another person is “a version of being spiritually raped.”
Romans 1:28 says, “Just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind.” What else but depravity of mind could account for such a jarring inability to reason? And what’s even more frightening is that the leaders of history’s most powerful military force are apparently dumb or devious enough to buy into the fallacy!
Folks, it’s alarming that just 18 months after the military — at President Obama’s insistence — rescinded its “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy governing open homosexuality, the new policy for open Christianity in that same military now seems to be “Don’t tell, or else!”

FOR EVERY PERVERSION AND WICKEDNESS: GOD IS PREPARING JUDGMENT
Paw Creek Ministries
OUR PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA, IS SNUBBING HIS NOSE AT GOD AND EVERY GODLY AMERICAN. He’s driving nails in his own coffin and America will see him pay the price. He is using his bully pulpit to destroy every value in God’s Holy Bible and his judgment is close behind his actions. The things he says or does are the actions of a sociopath and demagoge. Pray America, pray and wait on God because He is in charge. “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein..” (Psalms 24:1 )
I desire to document for you the fact that no wickedness can ever escape the perfect judgment of our Heavenly Father. History is packed with proof that all men absolutely reap what they sow. Apostle Paul said this truth perfectly. “For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6: 20-23) There is a seed in sin that God has placed and it always grows if undisturbed by the grace of God’s forgiveness.
This universe was created with a built in system of righteousness and purity. There is a multitude of proofs right in the natural world of God created honesty and justice. There is no escape from the consequence of breaking God’s laws. Look at the pure picture in Romans of what happens when men violate the governing laws of sexual conduct“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient:” (Romans 1:26-28) When God gives up on a person it is over for them.
There is no escape from the death that is embodied in sin, but the cleansing Blood of Christ. This death is two fold, physical death and the second death which is the eternal assignment to the “Lake of Fire.” First, let’s deal with the first death, that of this body. Sodom and Gomorrah is the most awesome picture of this truth. “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.” (Genesis 19:24-28) The horror of such a death is almost beyond human understanding.
I ask you to start considering the consequence we read about or see every day because of sin. There is a level of suffering that the purest person living among us will experience from the sins of others. This, our Father allows so that we learn to love and honor the laws of God and understand the beauty of righteousness. Let’s allow the Psalmist, David, to use his anointed words to paint a beautiful picture. “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.” (Psalm 37:1-9) What absolute happiness is described for this Godly life.
It’s impossible to separate the American experience from the moral standards we once loved and cherished. Now we see the opposite, and everyday brings us a little more of the hell we are watching grow in every segment of our culture. Consider a President that must pay homage to the crowd that has funded and labored to keep him in office. He is bound to them in almost every action he takes. For a President to make a ball player his champion, simply because he ballyhooed his sodomy lifestyle, is so cheap he looks insane.
The history of Planned Parenthood was based on reducing the number of new-born babies within the “Unfit in America’s overall population.” Our President is so beholding to their millions of re-election dollars and support that he praises their industry of murder. His administration is pursuing every possible way to make life for Bible believing Christians in America miserable. His appointees in the Armed Forces are bent on stopping any Chaplain or soldier from honoring their faith in the one true God that has so blessed our nation in the past.
Our Father will have the last word. The Holy Book tells us of the end times when such men would be placed in high offices. “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.” (Psalm 2:1-6) We have no reason to fret or doubt the outcome. We will win over the liberal media and heathens in public office.
I’m watching everyday for the heavens to speak with resounding eloquence. When the sun goes out, (any day now,) men in high places will begin to tremble. When God defends Israel against the invasions of the Middle East, the Bible gives us perfect assurance. The righteous Bible believing saints will soon be shouting on the hills of Glory, “We won, we won at last!”

22 Facts That Prove That The Bottom 90 Percent Of America Is Systematically Getting Poorer
22 Facts That Prove That The Bottom 90 Percent Of America Is Systematically Getting Poorer
The mainstream media is not telling you this, but the truth is that most Americans are steadily getting poorer. The middle class is being absolutely eviscerated, and poverty is soaring to unprecedented heights. The fact that 90 percent of the population is constantly sliding downhill is not good for our society. The United States is supposed to be a land of opportunity with a vibrant free market system that enables average people to make better lives for themselves. Unfortunately, free enterprise is being strangled to death in the United States today. Entrepreneurs and small business are being pounded into oblivion by rules, regulations, red tape and oppressive levels of taxation. At the same time, millions of jobs have been shipped out of the United States by corporate giants and sent to countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. All of this has happened under both Democrats and Republicans. Meanwhile, wealth and power continue to become even more heavily concentrated in the hands of big government and big corporations. Our founding fathers warned that we should not allow such large concentrations of wealth and power, because they tend to funnel the rewards of society into the hands of a select few. We need to change the rules of the game so that entrepreneurs, small businesses and average workers can thrive in this country once again. If big government and big corporations continue to gobble up even more wealth and power, the wealth inequality that we see right now will only get even worse. (Read More….)
Will Americans Soon Not Be Able To Buy, Sell Or Get A Job Without A Global ID Card?
Will Americans Soon Not Be Able To Buy, Sell Or Get A Job Without A Global ID Card?
A plan being pushed in Congress right now by senators from both major political parties would force all Americans to get a biometric national ID card. It is being promoted as a key “immigration reform” measure, but the truth is that a national ID card is much more about the government’s endless appetite for more control over the American people. If this national ID card plan is passed by Congress, you will not be able to get a job without one. So how are you going to survive if you can’t work? In addition, this national ID card would undoubtedly soon be used to identify us for all sorts of other purposes. For example, have you tried to open up a bank account lately? They make you jump through all sorts of hoops to prove that you are who you say that you are. So what would happen if the government decided to require you to show your national ID card before opening up a bank account? If you refused to get a card, how would you be able to function in society without a bank account? Would you try to conduct all of your transactions in cash only? That might work for a while. And of course you would not be able to drive or get on a plane without your national ID card. So forget about going anywhere. Are you starting (Read More….)
Mourn For America: Whenever A Tragedy Happens They Take Even More Freedom From Us {Video}
What in the world is happening to America? Over the past couple of decades, the federal government has used just about every major national tragedy as an excuse to take even more liberty and freedom away from us. And without a doubt, the Boston Marathon bombing was a great national tragedy. I don’t think that any of us will forget the images that we have seen over the past week. All of those responsible for this attack should be exposed, hunted down, tried and punished. Unfortunately, what always seems to happen is that it is the American people that seem to get punished the most for these tragedies. Over the past couple of decades we have been told again and again that if we will just give up a little bit more freedom that the authorities will be able to keep us safe. But you know what? It is IMPOSSIBLE for them to keep us safe. There is no way in the world that the federal government can protect us from all of the bad guys in the world. We are a country that is absolutely teeming with “soft targets” – malls, churches, schools, concerts, sporting events, etc. No matter how much money we spend, there is no way that the federal government will ever be able to provide enough security for all of those soft targets. Even if our society morphed into something that resembled George Orwell’s “1984″, the government would still never be able to guarantee our safety. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of this attack there will inevitably be calls for “increased security” and “more anti-terror legislation”. The answer always seems to be to expand the emerging police state. But it is getting to the point where all of this “security” is becoming absolutely suffocating, and yet it doesn’t seem to be keeping us any safer. So where does all of this end? Are we going to completely throw out the entire U.S. Constitution in a desperate attempt to feel a little bit safer? Or are we going to choose to live our lives without fear no matter what others may try to do to us?
Benjamin Franklin once made the following statement…
“Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Sadly, the way that the American people have responded to national tragedies over the past couple of decades would have made our founding fathers greatly ashamed. The American people have been way too willing to give up liberty in exchange for the promise of safety.
We have been told that the terrorists hate us because of our liberties and freedoms. But we have also been told that in order to be “safe” from those terrorists we have got to give up those liberties and freedoms.
So who is really winning?
We seem to have forgotten some of the most basic lessons in life.
If you cower in fear when a bully comes after you, what is the bully going to do?
The bully is just going to keep coming after you because his actions are being rewarded.
Those that are trying to create fear love it when you become fearful. It is exactly what they want.
The appropriate response to a great national tragedy is to reject fear and to continue to boldly live our lives as if nobody could ever shake us.
But instead, the atmosphere of fear in America continues to grow.
And yes, there are common sense things that our government should be doing to keep bad guys away from us.
For example, the number one thing that the federal government should be doing is to secure the border. Every single day, thousands upon thousands of people that we don’t know anything about pour into this country. And yet the federal government has absolutely refused to secure our borders for decades.
Until the federal government secures our borders, they should not ask any of us to sacrifice a single ounce of liberty or freedom in the name of “national security”.
But even as the Obama administration treats our border security like a joke and continues to import huge numbers of people from radical areas of the Middle East, they continue to tell us that “domestic terror” is the next great threat that we are facing.
Many of our other politicians are buying into this philosophy as well. Senator Lindsey Graham says that the attack in Boston is a perfect example of “why the homeland is the battlefield“.
So if “the homeland is the battlefield”, then who is the enemy?
Well, a U.S. Army Reserve training presentation recently identified evangelical Christians as “religious extremists“, and since Barack Obama entered the White House there have been numerous government reports that have identified Christians, “constitutionalists”, patriots, anti-abortion activists, conspiracy theorists and gun owners as “potential terrorists”.
So where does all of this end?
Are the American people rapidly becoming the enemy?
Will we be constantly scared to death of one another?
Will the entire nation exist in a never ending environment of fear?
Will we eventually have the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security patrolling every mall, every church, every school, every concert and every sporting event?
Unfortunately, the bad guys will always be able to find a soft target, and there will be more terror attacks in the future no matter how much security we pour on. Once upon a time this nation was greatly blessed with peace and security, but now that hedge of protection is gone. The federal government could give the Department of Homeland Security trillions of dollars a year and it would not make much of a difference. We live in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable, and bad guys are going to do bad things.
Yes, there are some common sense things that we can do to make our nation more secure. At this point, the federal government is not doing most of those things.
But no matter how hard we try, bad things are going to happen. When those bad things happen, what we can control is how we respond to them.
That is why what just happened in Boston is so alarming. The entire city was put into a complete lockdown for nearly two days. It was a preview of what could happen nationwide if martial law was declared. It was an over the top display of force that clearly demonstrated to the rest of the world how incredibly frightened we are.
Some of the things we saw in Boston were absolutely disgraceful. For example, you can see video of an innocent Watertown family being ripped out of their home at gunpoint right here.
Do you know what this tells the rest of the world?
It tells them that terrorism works.
It tells them that one small incident is enough to send the entire nation into a full-blown panic attack.
You can see some more photos of martial law in Boston right here. Instead of making things better, this is just going to make the atmosphere of fear in this nation even worse.
And you know what? None of those heavily armed men even found the second suspect. He was actually found by a neighbor that had gone out to take a smoke.
Like most Americans, I absolutely hate terrorism in all the forms that it takes.
But we are not going to prevent future terrorism by treating the U.S. Constitution like a piece of trash. We have now shown the world that we are willing to throw out our most important constitutional rights the moment that a “threat” arises, and this is just going to encourage even more terrorism.
You see, those that engage in terrorism want attention and they want to create fear. When we give them attention and we allow them to create fear we give them exactly what they want.
Is there anyone out there that can defend what we just saw in Boston? I can’t imagine any American that still loves the Constitution being proud of what just happened. I think that Karl Denninger put it quite eloquently the other day…
By effectively occupying a part of the Boston metro area they made an utter mockery of the 4th Amendment. There was no “hot pursuit” and thus no argument available to them allowing searches of private property without consent or a warrant. Not only did they search without a warrant there were multiple reports through the day of seizure of firearms, among other things.
Sadly, most Americans seem to be more than willing to disregard the U.S. Constitution these days. Most of them are incredibly scared and they just want someone in a position of authority to assure them that they will be safe.
So I am sure that in the months ahead we will see “security” get even tighter in this country. With each subsequent tragedy, it will just get tighter and tighter until we can barely even breathe.
This is not the answer to any of our problems. In fact, it is just going to make many of the problems that we are facing as a nation far worse.
The Economic Collapse
†*†*† Only One Yardstick †*†*†
“If it feels good do it.” “Everybody else is doing it.” “You’re an old fogey.” “Get with the times.” “This is the 21st century.” “To each his own.” “That isn’t politically correct.”
How many times have we heard someone say these things? They aren’t new. Consider these verses from the Scriptures.
“You are not to do as we do here today, everyone doing as they see fit,” (Deuteronomy 12:8 NIV)
“In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” (Judges 17:6 ESV)
“In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” (Judges 21:25 ESV)
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” (Proverbs 12:15 ESV)
“A person may think their own ways are right, but the LORD weighs the heart.” (Proverbs (NIV)
Having read the above verses, I dare say that people of other ages probably said pretty much the same as we hear today.
People today, in these final years just prior to Christ’s return, are doing as they see fit and what is right in their own eyes. According to Proverbs 12:15 above, they are fools. So many misguided fools of our day think their ways are right, but they are not.
God weighs the heart. What does He consider when doing so? I’ll give you the short version. He asks of your heart and mine, “What have you done with my Son?”
Our society is hell-bent on destruction, and I personally believe that we in the United States of America will be judged harder than any other nation because we have been so richly blessed by God. We have been blessed because we formerly acknowledged God, not as a whole necessarily, but as a country. Currently, every day that passes is another that kicks God out of our way and brings us closer to His judgment.
“But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” (Luke 12:48 NIV)
We who knew better have allowed the Devil’s children to flex their muscles while we run off and hide.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44)
Now we are paying the price. All the toilets are plugged and the sewers are running over with the filth of corrupted minds. Don’t think so? Turn on the TV. Watch a movie. Look around you. We live in a society that promotes sin of every flavor and color while spitting in the face of God.
I read just the other day that 48% of the children in this country are born to unwed mothers. Of course this doesn’t take in to account the 1,370,000 that are murdered by way of abortion each year in this country alone.
An explosion of child abuse (physical, sexual and emotional) is racking our nation. Perverts are crawling out of the woodwork like roaches when the lights are turned off.
Murders and theft are common place in even small towns, and drug abuse is overwhelming the police agencies of our country.
This is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. Every sin against God that is imaginable is consuming the very soul of this once great country. Why? Because we have decided we don’t need God. We will be our own god and determine what is right or wrong.
The Bible is clear throughout that righteousness can only be found in God. Absolute true righteousness was on display for the world in Jesus Christ, Who is God by the way, and we crucified Him.
The local courts and all the way up to the Supreme Court do not decide for God what is right and wrong. Presidents, Senators, and Congressmen do not decide for God what is right and wrong. The NEA and school boards do not know what is best for our children, and often neither do most parents. That can be seen in the little hoodlums we are raising. Many children today have little to no supervision, and what supervision they do have is not much to brag about.
Jesus Christ and His Word, the Bible, is the only measuring stick that God will allow. He will settle for no less. He doesn’t care what you and I think in the matter. He isn’t interested in your and my opinion. He has always had the line drawn in the sand, and said “This is it. Don’t cross it.”
Well guess what? We crossed it, and no matter how “good” we may become, we will never measure up to the righteousness of God Almighty. So what do we do?
We should fall upon our face before God and plead His mercy, and by the victory of His own Son Jesus, He will cloth us with His righteousness.
“For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” (Romans 10:3)
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10)
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” (Isaiah 61:10)
We do not measure up to God’s yardstick and never will, but in Jesus, He will give us His righteousness.
Many who claim to be Christians today are going along with all the tripe that is coming from society and living by its standards. If you claim Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, how can you?
You and I don’t make the rules on what is right and wrong. God does. If you are living in a state contrary to God’s Word, take it to Him, and get it right. Unfortunately, I fear that far too many are compromising, and surely deep down within their soul, they know they are in sin.
No one in his right mind would use a faulty measuring device to build a house, but how many people do exactly that to build their life? Are you using the wrong yardstick to measure your life? Any yardstick that comes from mankind will not be true. Only God’s Word is true. How do I know what is true?
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

The Jay-Z Illuminati Conspiracy: Are Beyonce And Jay-Z Seducing Our Kids Into The Occult?
Why are Jay-Z, Beyonce and many of the other artists that they work with (such as Rihanna) so obsessed with the Illuminati? Why does Illumunati symbolism constantly show up in their music videos, their live performances and even in Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing line? Is it just a coincidence that they flash hand signs representing the all-seeing eye of Horus and the Mark of the Beast during nationally televised events? If it was a one time thing, perhaps you could dismiss their behavior as a coincidence or as a publicity stunt. Sadly, the truth is that there is no way that all of this occult symbolism could get into their music videos and live performances by accident. There is an agenda at work here. Jay-Z, Beyonce and a whole bunch of other prominent artists are seducing our kids into the occult and they are making the New World Order appear to be hip, trendy and cool. When our young people use the same symbols or flash the same hand signs as their favorite artists, most of them are not even aware of what they are doing. But they are slowly being conditioned to accept the values and the belief systems behind those symbols and hand signs.
When you know what to look for, you start seeing these things just about everywhere around Jay-Z and Beyonce. For example, posted below is a photo of Jay-Z wearing a sweatshirt that has the famous Aleister Crowley motto “Do What Thou Wilt” emblazoned across it…
The following is what an NPR article had to say about the video from which this picture was taken…
In the making-of video for “Run To Town,” he’s pictured wearing a sweatshirt with the phrase “do what thou wilt” printed across the chest.
“Yes, that has very deep roots in modern occult culture,” Horowitz says. “The full expression is ‘Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.’ That was one of the key maxims of the British occultist Aleister Crowley. So when Jay-Z appears in a hoodie with that phrase on it in public, that’s exactly what he’s referencing.”
Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing line also often draws upon Masonic symbols: pentagrams, obelisks, pyramids, the all-seeing eye.
Sadly, this reference to Aleister Crowley was not just a one time thing for Jay-Z. In fact, as the Daily Mail recently explained, Jay-Z has been linked to a Luciferian organization that Crowley founded known as Ordo Templi Orientis…
Other celebrities linked to OTO include the rapper Jay-Z, who has repeatedly purloined imagery and quotations from Crowley’s work.
Whether wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with ‘Do what thou wilt’ or hiring Rihanna to hold aloft a flaming torch in his music videos (a reference to the Illuminati, an outlawed secret society whose name supposedly derives from Lucifer, or ‘light bringer’), he has given the sect priceless publicity.
His clothing line, Rocawear, is shot through with OTO imagery such as the ‘all seeing eye’ in a triangle, the ‘eye of Horus’ (an ancient Egyptian symbol frequently referenced in occult texts) and the head of Baphomet (the horned, androgynous idol of Western occultism).
Perhaps Jay-Z’s favorite occult symbol is the all-seeing eye of Horus. Beyonce and Jay-Z are constantly flashing this symbol wherever they go, and it is even on the cover of his greatest hits album…
For much more on the Jay-Z/Illuminati connection, please check out this video…
Unfortunately, Beyonce has also fully embraced Illuminati symbolism and the occult agenda that Jay-Z is pushing.
If you doubt this, just watch the video posted below…
But of course Jay-Z and Beyonce are far from alone. All over America, prominent celebrities are gladly embracing the Illuminati and the New World Order. By doing so, they are sending a message to future generations of Americans that being a part of these things is trendy and cool.
For example, just check out some of the celebrity members of the Council on Foreign Relations…
George Clooney
Angelina Jolie
Oprah Winfrey
Michael Douglas
Jimmy Iovine
Rick Warren
Michael Bloomberg
Richard Branson
Katie Couric
Brian Williams
Fareed Zakaria
Erin Burnett
Rupert Murdoch
Les Moonves
Paul Krugman
Joe Biden
John Kerry
Newt Gingrich
John McCain
Dick Cheney
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
It’s funny – just about the only thing that Republicans and Democrats can agree upon is that joining the Council on Foreign Relations is a good thing to do. The mainstream media would have us believe that they are mortal enemies, but the reality is that they are really all working for the same side.
Another example of how the Illuminati is becoming trendy is the resurgence of Freemasonry that we are witnessing in the United States right now. According to the Los Angeles Times, Freemasonry is in the midst of a “membership boom”…
That’s because the Freemasons, whose tenets forbid soliciting or recruiting members, have enthusiastically embraced the Internet as a way to leverage curiosity about an organization with its roots in Europe’s medieval stonemasons guilds. Freemasonry today sees itself as a thinking man’s salon, a learned society with a philanthropic bent.
“We had a record number of new members last year,” said Allan Casalou, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of California. “We added 2,000 men, which is the most since 1998 and our seventh straight year of membership increases.”
And, to paraphrase that Oldsmobile campaign, these definitely aren’t your father’s Freemasons. They are bar owners, male models and olive-oil brokers. They are men like Zulu, an L.A. tattoo artist with a swirling Maori-inspired design inked across his face and a panoply of metal piercing his ears, nose and face. They are men like Jonathan Kanarek, who runs a men’s vintage clothing store on Hollywood Boulevard and whose retro chic wardrobe of polka-dot ascots, glen-plaid jackets and smartly pressed pocket squares earned him a spot on Esquire magazine’s 2007 list of best-dressed real men in America. And they are men like Daemon Hillin, whose surfer-dude looks and blinding white smile can be found on Japanese TV, where he plays sidekick and comic foil to the Japanese version of the Hilton sisters.
Meanwhile, those that the Illuminati hate (Christians) are being increasingly demonized in this country.
For example, last week Fox News reported that the U.S. military has been blocking the website of the Southern Baptist Convention (the largest Protestant denomination in America) because it contained “hostile content”…
The U.S. Military has blocked access to the Southern Baptist Convention’s website on an unknown number of military bases because it contains “hostile content” — just weeks after an Army briefing labeled Evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as examples of religious extremism, Fox News has learned.
The Southern Baptist Convention is the nation’s largest Protestant denomination known for its support of the pro-life movement and its strong belief in traditional marriage.
Southern Baptist chaplains reported that SBC.net had been blocked at military installations around the nation. An Air Force officer told Fox News that when he tried to log on to the website he received a message that his Internet usage was being logged and monitored for trying to access a blocked site.
Fortunately, that site has now been unblocked after a great uproar, but this is just another example of how Christians are being marginalized and demonized by our own government. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled “All Over America Evangelical Christians Are Being Labeled As ‘Extremists’ And ‘Hate Groups’“.
And you know what? This is exactly the same type of thing that we have seen under other tyrannical regimes throughout history. They always want to tear down the Christian faith.
For example, Boldur von Schirach, the head of the Hitler Youth, once made the following statement: “Destruction of Christianity was explicitly recognized as a purpose of the National Socialist Movement”.
Nazi literature was full of propaganda about how the Nazis were going to do away with Christianity. In a previous article, I posted some of the incredibly shocking information that has been uncovered by author Bruce Walker….
The Nazi tract Gott und Volk was distributed in 1941, and it describes the life cycle of German youth in the future, who would: “With parties and gifts the youth will be led painlessly from one faith to the other and will grow up without ever having heard of the Sermon on the Mount or the Golden Rule, to say nothing of the Ten Commandments… The education of the youth is to be confined primarily by the teacher, the officer, and the leaders of the party. The priests will die out. They have estranged the youth from the Volk. Into their places will step the leaders. Not deputies of God. But anyway the best Germans. And how shall we train our children? Thus, as though they had never heard of Christianity!”
In case you still haven’t gotten the point, the following direct quotes out of Hitler Youth training manuals should leave little doubt about how the Nazis felt about the Christian faith…
“Christianity is a religion of slaves and fools.”
“How did Christ die? Whining at the Cross!”
“The Ten Commandments represent the lowest instincts of man.”
“Christianity is merely a cloak for Judaism.”
But instead of learning from history, we seem doomed to repeat it.
In America today, the Illuminati and the occult are being glorified, and Christianity is being demonized.
So what will the end result of all of this be? Please feel free to post a comment with your opinion below…
The Jay-Z Illuminati Conspiracy: Are Beyonce And Jay-Z Seducing Our Kids Into The Occult?
A SOVEREIGN MOVE OF THE HOLY GHOST
NOTHING EXPRESSES THE DIVINITY OF THE HOLY GHOST AND HIS BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE GODHEAD AS DOES HIS SOVEREIGNTY. From the very beginning of the church at Pentecost, until the 21st Century church, Satan has continuously promoted religious ideas that deny His Sovereign manifestation. Let’s first list ideas that destroy or greatly hinder the Holy Ghost movement within the Body of Christ.
TEN UNQUESTIONABLY FALSE TEACHINGS!
1. The false idea of a Pope which the Roman Catholic Church claims continues the position first given or assigned to Apostle Peter.
2. A doctrine called “Cessation of the Supernatural”. This thought declares that once the church was established by the early Apostles there was no further need for the supernatural.
3. The assumption that the only infallible Bible was the original autographs.
4. The rejection of the nine Gifts of the Holy Ghost as the only primary operation of God’s power in the church body.
5. The thought that these gifts are subject to the individual rather than totally subject to the Holy Ghost Himself.
6. The idea that the Holy Spirit is a great influence but not a sovereign Being. The Truth is that all His actions are personal to Him in His every movement.
7. The teaching that we should not worship Him in the same manner that we worship the Father and the Son.
8. The denial that every Believer must be baptized in the Holy Spirit once they are sanctified and set apart for His Sovereign work.
9. Any thought that a true movement of the church can be activated by carnal men and women apart from His Divine actions.
10. Any idea or mindset that causes His church body to trust in men, organizations or fleshly controlled schemes and the manipulation of Biblical Truths.
Our present church has to recover the perfect plan of God’s Kingdom that flows directly and solely from the Sovereign movement of the Holy Ghost. If He is not moving in His Church, we are dead in the water like a ship without a sail. This Supernatural and Sovereign Person sent by the Father and the Son is awaiting our submission and reverence.
Jesus Christ was emphatic that the church He was birthing should be totally enabled by this Sovereign Comforter and Teacher. “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (St. John 14:14-21)
Study this passage with great delight. The key thoughts are these:
* He will abide with you forever.
* He is the only “Spirit of Truth.”
* The world cannot have Him.
* He shall be in you.
* I will not leave you comfortless.
* Because I live by the Holy Ghost you will live also.
* By Him you will know I am in my Father.
* I will by the Holy Ghost, manifest myself to you.
This is exactly what will change His Church.
When the Holy Ghost had come at Pentecost this is exactly what happened. It turned that small group of people upside down. He had told them, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Not one of us has one ounce of the power in this gospel until the Holy Ghost has come to dwell in us with complete sovereignty.
The Book of Acts is so full of power that it will burn your fingers if you really get into the heart of it. Look at this group of believers after Peter and John were released from prison a few days after Pentecost. “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done. For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.” (Acts 4:19-22) This is an example of the effort of Satan to stop the glory of the Holy Ghost.
Look at the results when these Saints prayed in their dynamite way. “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.” (Acts 4:29-31) This is exactly what we need to see again. The church is not far from the time it will either be extinct or it will see a visitation from God by His Sovereign Holy Ghost. It will be the latter. If they think they can put out our fire when it is lit by the Holy Ghost they are sadly mistaken.

Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing
“Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly.” (James 3:1 NLT)
They are classified as pastors, ministers, clergymen, priests, teachers, writers, authors, etc. If we hold a position of instructing others in spiritual matters, we need to take the above verse very seriously.
I am amazed in one hand and not so much in the other that there are so many wolves in the pulpits of America. Whether the pulpit is a podium or a keyboard, there are more than enough predators on the loose.
One reason I am not surprised is because the Scriptures tell us that in the latter days apostasy will be very prevalent, and I strongly believe we are in the last days of the Church age.
Only God knows the actual number or percentage of wolves behind the pulpits in America, but I’m sure there are many. I’ve heard too many of them. This is one reason, among others, that it is so very important that every Christian be more than merely acquainted with God’s Word. We need to know it as well as we know our own name.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
The reason these wolves of Satan are so widely accepted is because of the ignorance of the masses. Many Christians, no less, are basically ignorant of God’s Word, the Bible. It never ceases to amaze me what comes from the minds and mouths of Christian people, and there is no excuse for it, but laziness.
The number of so-called clergymen who are coming out and endorsing same sex marriage, for example, is appalling. If there were ever a sin clearly defined in the Bible, this is certainly one of them. Homosexuality is a sin. Period. God says so, so don’t get mad at me. Repent and forsake it.
The liberal elite of spiritual affairs, and political also, for that matter, say we must compromise and get along with everybody. That is not what God’s Word says. From the mouth of Jesus we hear:
“34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:34-37)
Is Jesus saying that Christians should go pick a fight with anyone who disagrees with them? Of course not. He is simply saying that the world will hate what He has to say and who He is. He is saying that if we are loyal to Him, we will be hated too.
“18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” (John 15:18-19)
Jesus also said that to hate Him is to hate the Father.
“He that hateth me hateth my Father also.” (John 15:23)
But I digress, a little. Far, far too many of these charlatans, wolves in sheep’s clothing, are seducing tens of thousands of people, if not millions, right into hell. I shudder to think of the judgment that will be administered to them when they stand before God.
It is very difficult to find a good Bible believing, Bible proclaiming man of God in our pulpits of the 21st century. Most are a joke. Major church denominations are quickly straying away from God and His Word, being led by these false teachers.
Folks, if you don’t want to be led astray, and many of you are, you really need to turn off the TV and get in the Bible. The Bible is where God speaks to His children, and if you are His, how can you not be interested in knowing what HE has to say?
The smooth-talking, milk-toast clap-trap coming from the pulpits will do nothing but lead you down the wrong paths. These spiritual whoremongers will lead you to the same destruction that they will experience. We all need the Truth, and only in God’s Word will we find it.
If you have a God-fearing man of God leading you, pray for him and thank God every night for him. If you don’t know, get in the Word and ask the Lord’s guidance in your life. Until you get in the Word and allow the Holy Spirit of God to teach and lead you, you will never know. You’ll just be one of the blind following the blind.
I urge you to not be naïve when considering the wiles of the Devil. The Apostle Peter said.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1 Peter 5:8)
Maybe you think Satan spends all his time in Vegas or Hollywood, or Washington D.C. Think again, he loves it behind the pulpits. He gets so much more done for his cause behind the pulpits than anywhere else.
Know what is behind your pulpit. He may be an under shepherd for Jesus Christ, or he may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
