The progressive long-term stealth agenda is to transform America from a constitutional republic into a top-down, centrally controlled socialist form of government. Along those lines socialism is a God-less system absolutely damning any form, even ever so slightly, of belief in God especially the God of the Bible. While blessed with multiple public platforms, I also walk through my week with the full knowledge the Lord of lords and King of kings has called me to be a Watchman; to blow the Shofar of Warning to the threats accumulating against this nation so conceived under the Lord’s guidance, from the creation of our founding documents and principles unmistakably taken from Judeo-Christian teaching. What has stood in the way of a global governance has been America! What has kept the New-World Order, the One-World Government from becoming a full reality has been America, and mostly Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. Letters I have received from eight countries acknowledged such, but with more eloquence and emotion than I can portray here. People across the world are praying America will not extinguish her light of the gospel, her light of freedom. These letters are touching, emotional to read, real and candid, unafraid to state how the writer is praying for America not to lose her way.What if God’s People who are called by His Name refuse to obey His ways, refuse to pray for those He placed in positions of trust and authority (politically as well as spiritually)? I sense strongly the Lord saying, “there is little I can do to bless you until such time you submit (cooperate) with My will.” If God’s People who are called by His Name continue to run out to play and seek after their own interests, ignoring what the Lord has asked, but then the people expect satisfying answers to all the troubles that come, they are sadly instructed. Even sadder is the fact the church is not instructing on repentance and submission, but instead gladly announcing a new day is dawning, a new year is coming, a new set of blessings is awaiting. Hear the Words of the Lord of lords and King of kings:

“I AM having My watchmen stand and sound the Shofar of Warning as to the storm coming, but My People, who are called by My Name, refuse to listen, refuse to response. I desire obedience. I bless obedience and sincere repentance for the errors My People make and the sins My People committed along their paths of service. I see little of either - obedience or repentance!

Watch closely…what is described is the quickening crumbling of America, a nation whose light once shined on a hill for all the world to see. Wake up dear fellow citizens. Wipe the slumber from your eyes and go to your knees asking the Lord who ordained this exceptional (not perfect) nation to teach us again how to walk in submission (cooperation) to His Will, not man’s; not government’s; not even our own but His, the Lord who is the Attiq Yomin (Ancient of Days - the ultimate authority who will one day judge all nations, Daniel 7:9.13).

PART III: Thursday, April 30, 1789, by all accounts, was a beautiful, clear and cool late spring day, and the people, like the weather, were full of cheer, were radiant, and walked with a brisk, determined hope for the future. The morning sun and slight breeze moved toward their zenith as the clocks ticked steadily toward that historical moment of noon when all the church bells throughout the city, and beyond, would ring with celebrated loudness and clarity, welcoming the first president of these United States.

With only minutes remaining before the tolling of the twelve-noon hour, the newly sworn-in first Vice President, John Adams, rose and approached Mr. Washington to announce it was time. The small gather of members of both the new Congress and Senate, along with a couple of other dignitaries, walked the few steps from the inner room to the second-floor balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City for George Washington to swear an oath before God and his fellow American citizens to uphold, protect, and preserve the new Constitution of the United States of America. The Honorable Robert Livingston, patriot and chancellor of the State of New York, would be administering the Oath of Office since there was no Supreme Court as yet. Chancellor Livingston was the highest-ranking judge in New York. And yes, it was New York City that served as our nation’s first capital.

On this remarkable day, before ten thousand of his fellow citizens, and with John Adams standing by his side, George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States of America. After acknowledging the crowd, President Washington returned to the inner office and personally greeted each member of Congress and the Senate and then quite nervously shared some remarks he had handwritten. On this day of remarkable events, among the first words spoken by our nation’s first President were these memorable words: “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” President Washington warned on the first day of our becoming a constituted nation that if America disregards the eternal rules of order that heaven ordained, America will see the blessings of God removed from the land! Stunningly, the first President of this nation, made a pledge to honor the “rules of order” which God Himself had ordained and that America would submit to the same. If we deliberately chose to walk away from such submission (cooperation), we could expect God to remove His blessing over our land.

After his remarks, the new President, along with Vice President John Adams, members of Congress, and the Senate, walked out of Federal Hall (which was built to serve as New York’s first City Hall, but, as noted, served as the first Capitol of the United States), turned left, and walked up Wall Street to Fulton Street. They then turned right, going two blocks to St. Paul’s Chapel, where the President led the first prayer service on Inauguration Day. St. Paul’s Chapel stands today as it did on that most remarkable day in our country’s history. If you visit the chapel (I have on several occasions) you will be standing directly across the street from “ground zero,” where an attack on America occurred on September 11, 2001. President Washington’s pledge on the first inaugural day of this new country was that he would remind his fellow citizens to remain under the care and guidance of the God who directed the efforts of the colonists in a most formidable war for liberty. He also pledged to God on behalf of this nation and her people, that the government he established would openly remember the laws and eternal rules ordained by heaven. He warned that if a time arose when America rebelled and refused to repent and come back under the rules of order and right, America would see the blessings from heaven removed from the land!

We have been witnessing America thoroughly departing from God, and we are witnessing the removal of the blessings upon this nation from heaven, just as President Washington covenanted.

PART II: It was Thursday, April 30, 1789, a beautiful spring morning. George Washington must have pondered the pledge before God he took all those years earlier, and the pledge he was about to take before God at noon this day. To witness firsthand his ragamuffin army, turn back and defeat the British had to be both humbling and awe-inspiring in the same breath. To live through the uniting of thirteen separate colonies into states and then into a duly constituted nation had to be a gift full of memories for a lifetime. Washington must have pondered, as he waited in an inner room before standing on the Federal Hall second-floor balcony in New York City, the experiment that had become a reality with the formation of this nation, the blessings of God already clearly evident on young America, and now his new role guiding the same. Washington must have at least had some sober thoughts as to the magnitude and gravity of the next steps to be taken in developing a country where God of the Bible would be welcomed and celebrated, worshiped and thanked, honored and submitted to by a people who claimed to be called by His name, a name above all other names.

I believe President Washington, and our other forefathers, knew right well that God entrusted to them the privilege of establishing a biblically based nation quite similar to the land of the Hebrews which, much later, would bring forth the Nation of Israel. The United States of America, the spiritual brother to Israel was God’s intended choice to be His light unto ALL nations, demonstrating His goodness and mercy, His desire that man would choose to live by God’s ordinances so true order would prevail, not tyrannical power leading to chaos slipping into decay and then into war simply for survival. I further believe President Washington, and our other forefathers, took to heart that government was meant to be led by biblical truth, and not biblical truth be curtailed by government, that elected officials were to protect the freedom of godly expression in all places and not simply in church. Our forefathers knew firsthand that if the state ever became absolute, it would replace God as the supreme lawgiver. Our founding fathers emphasized that true freedom was rooted in faith in God and so proclaimed this in our founding documents: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. A so-called deist (which later in life ample evidence suggests otherwise) Benjamin Franklin, offered what is a famous acknowledgement of God’s sovereignty in the affairs of men:

“I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that 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? We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.”

Benjamin Franklin’s speech to the Constitutional Congress on June 28, 1787.

I am now going to write a PART III to this article of mine, but before I conclude, allow me to finish this portion with the following:

President Washington warned on the first day of our becoming a constituted nation, that if America disregards the eternal rules of order that heaven had ordained, America will see the blessings of God removed from the land! Stunningly, the first President of our nation, speaking on behalf of all citizens of this nation, made a pledge to honor the “rules of order” which God Himself had ordained and that America would submit to the same. If we deliberately chose to walk away from submission (cooperation), we could expect God to remove His blessings over our land.

PART I: Reading General Washington’s diary, I could not help but come away with the belief that Washington knew the God of the Bible, the One and True God, the Olam El (the Everlasting God), the same who Christopher Columbus sought at the beginning of his walk into destiny, the exact God who directed both the Puritans and the Pilgrams, and now whom General Washington needed to seek and walk in humility (trust) with through the coming conflict of all conflicts up to that time. Washington had to feel like he was walking into the Valley of the Shadows that David of Psalms 23 writes so eloquently about. Similar to David, and so many others before him, Washington must either depend on the Lord of lords and King of kings and allow God’s rod and staff to guide and strengthen him, or certainly he and the dream of a land dedicated to God would certainly perish.

Make no mistake about this: the forces of darkness were gathering to diabolically extinguish America once and for all, even before she got the chance to step into her destiny. America, “the shining city on a hill,” (taken from Matthew 5:14) and used by John Winthrop, a Puritan Pastor in his 1630 sermon forewarning that the new community by the Puritans would be observed by the world, and if they failed to uphold their covenant with God, their faults would be exposed. So, America, the city on a hill that could shine bright with God’s glory and grace, God’s abundance, and be known throughout the world as a people and government who fully understood and applied the laws and eternal rules ordained by heaven in the daily lives of those who reside in this land, was to be eviscerated and exist no more! I believe Washington and the fathers of our nation more fully and completely understood this reality than do the elected officials of our day and time.

General Washington knew something else, too. He was going to make a pledge before God much similar to the one Abraham in the Bible’s book of Genesis Chapter 21 made. Washington pledged to enter into this Revolutionary War for the purpose of establishing a covenant with God that this newly formed nation will submit (cooperate) to the ordinances of God and allow God to bring us back into compliance with those ordinances when we stray, to allow God to establish His form of government based on Judeo-Christian principles, especially as outlined in the Bible’s books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus but not at the expense of the other books in God’s Word.

The covenant Washington made was symbolized on a white flag with an evergreen in the middle under the bold words: An Appeal to Heaven.

The evergreen or tamarisk tree is a slow-growing but long-living tree. Strong and capable of resisting harsh conditions, it is a tree that signifies an everlasting covenant with God. No one plants an evergreen tree for themselves because the tree is too slow growing from its shade by the one who planted it but is a tree future generation will enjoy. When Abraham of the Bible planted such a tree, and when George Washington chose that tree, both men were saying to future generations: You will sit under the shade of the covenant I made with God and enjoy the benefits thereof; you will enjoy the rewards from the efforts of the previous generation.

General Washington chose for our country’s first flag, An Appeal to Heaven flag, not the Betsy Ross flag with its stars in a circle on a blue field, and the red and white stripes we came to know as kids studying history. The Appeal to Heaven flag flew up and down the Hudson River on all forts, in many towns throughout the colonies, on battlefields like Bunker Hill, and even over the Continental Congress meeting in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. This flag was taken into battle by the Continentals during the early months of the Revolutionary War. The Appeal to Heaven flag even flew on the first ships of the first navy of this country; six schooner ships purchased by George Washington with his own funds. I seriously doubt on October 20, 1775, when the Appeal to Heaven flag was adopted and placed into action, General Washington was thinking that fourteen years later, he would be standing on a balcony overlooking thousands of his fellow citizens and publicly declaring the covenant he had become intimately acquainted with on the field of battle. He barely knew if he would survive himself the bullets and cannon fire of the most powerful military on the face of the earth at that time.

As we know, General of the Army George Washington did survive the battles and bullets of not only an army in the natural sense but also the spiritual deluge launched by forces of darkness not the least bit happy at the foundation being laid that would celebrate the truths and blessings of the One True God and Creator of All: Adonai.

I prayerfully give thanks for each responder. I can appreciate just how busy and pulled in various directions you might be, and taking time to respond is quite a gift. THANK YOU!

May I also thank you for forwarding my articles. I heard from folks not on my formal distribution list who received an article from a reader forwarding such. I am most grateful but also want to say, “please carry on and don’t stop.” If you think my content is worthwhile, please send it forward to your mailing list. America needs to wake up to what is coming, both in the spiritual realm as well as secularly. I will be writing a two-part article for next week addressing my belief that our nation was founded under Christian principles and brought about by the Lord’s leading on our founders. We are unlike any other nation in the world in this regard, and we have virtually walked away from our submission (cooperation) to the Lord God. I pray our fellow citizens awaken to this growing fact, as well as the loss of national honor and sovereignty. Cities are being seduced and overtaken by Hindus and Islamic followers coupled with Marxists. There are rural communities in Texas, for instance, that have begun to push back, even forcefully, no longer waiting on Texas State Government to intercede and protect the rights and privileges of true Americans and the sovereignty of the State. I believe more is to come in multiple states across our nation. America is under assault and for many Americans this thought is simply too hard to accept.

I am grateful to my readers who refuse to remain “comfortably numb” to what is transpiring across our country; New York City, Minneapolis, Seattle, Oregon and California. But those are only a few flash points already under immense political, ideological, and vicious assault to all we have held as special here in America. Please STAND UP! Please continue to pass forward those articles of mine you deem worthy, don’t simply sit back. Thank you, also, most humbly, for your donations of $5 per month and those who gave $100 STRIPE and several who gave $75 through ZELLE. I just had to spend $1,600 on a new computer system since my previous died ☹. I do NOT waste gifts and spend on lavish meals.

MAGA – Make America God-fearing Again

Elections have consequences and walking away from God does too! America, a nation once a shining light unto the world has sinned most repetitively and in heinousness, and she refuses to repent and call upon the Name of the Lord to cleanse and redirect her ways. Almost all who once honored her despise her. Her filthiness clings to her, and she did not stop and consider her future given her uncleanness. Her treasures have been scattered and taken by those who scoff at the principles and Godly ways that established this exceptional nation. Pagan nations and tribes have entered her and set-up camps and altars that once would never have been welcomed in her land. America was given tremendous blessings by the Lord of lords and King of kings (Elohim – God who is the only supreme and true God – Genesis 1:1; Numbers 23:19; Psalm 19:1) from which she was to care for others and teach all others to turn from the ways of the world and unto the ways of the Lord. The Lord still has a plan for America and He has not forgotten His covenant with this exceptional nation, but He is about to demonstrate His ways are NOT man’s ways. We as a people have worshipped at the altar of government too long!

Prepare…Prepare…Prepare…for the Lord Most High is about to demonstrate His Signs and Wonders to a degree that mankind across the globe shall not be able to dismiss these as from the Hand of the Lord Most High. These Signs and Wonders are not at all dissimilar to what Moses forewarned Pharaoh would occur if he did not let God’s people go. Those already called out, and those already feeling the wooing of the Lord upon them; take heed and respond. Come unto the Lord and humble yourself, repent and commit to walk in submission (cooperation) to the Lord Most High. Do not bother yourself to look to your left or your right, look UP and do not allow fear to overcome you, to wear you down. Do not focus on the trials and tribulations coming, do not allow fear to overcome you. Look UP and submit yourself to the care of the Lord Most High; much like the people of the Exodus.

I blow the Shofar of Warning to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see – Matthew 13:16.

1. Demon portals have been opened across the Land called America. A true spiritual war against humanity, especially Christians, has been announced in the spirit realm, and even stepped-up knowing time is short. To those called-out, the Remnant of the Lord, do not run and hide but go, stand and watch as God pours out His Spirit on mankind – worldwide! Watch as the evil arises and so will the anointing of the Lord rise:

I Samuel 10:6 – “The Spirit of the Lord will come in great power, and you will prophecy and will be changed into a different person.”

2. Both political parties will see major and massive fall of leaders. This Sign and Wonder will be only one that will demonstrate that man and government have yielded nothing but bondage and deception of a magnitude similar to Babylon. As a country, we have become much similar to Babylon, and the Lord of lords and King of kings shall demonstrate that He shall collapse the evil plans these psychopaths who have taken over this once God-fearing nation have brought and are mandating. We are in bondage. We are run, managed, governed by many who have accepted demonic spirits, and who hate humanity and anything that worships the true God, Yeshua, Jesus Christ.

3. Judgement begins in the House of the Lord as stated in the Book of Daniel. Many, many pastors will be seen under serious discipline; some will face punishment. Many churches will fail; they were never intended by the Lord but created by man. True biblical grace has been cheapened in a preponderant number of churches. The Lord shall be restoring holiness behind the pulpit, not allowing the theatrics and marketing now so prevalent to continue. “Pagan Christianity” and rituals have snuffed out the free and true movement of the Holy Spirit. There will be a cry for a true operation of proper signs and wonders in places of worship, not the showmanship kind so prevalent today.

4. The Lord will begin selectively removing people from various stations in politics, business, finances, industry and elsewhere. “Go My people. enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until My wrath has passed by” (Isaiah 26:20). At first this will be attempted to be explained away but shall not be able to continue as the Lord of Hosts shows His Signs and Wonders versus mankind’s grandstanding and empty rhetoric.

5. An economic collapse is coming sometime in June or July. The stock market shall experience anywhere from a 50-70% collapse. Paper currency shall be mostly void. This collapse orchestrated by the Lord Most High shall cause a realignment of wealth and debt across the world and return people to God’s currency which has always been gold and silver. We as a nation were taken off the gold standard on August 15, 1971, and in December 1971, Klaus Schwab founded the World Economic System, the economic arm of the New-World Order. Being taken off the gold standard allowed men in government to dictate economies and governmental power; allowed for man to be seduced into debt in a money system with no backup. Bonds were created so people were “bonded people.” We became, unknowingly, people in bonds, similar to Pharaoh doing such to Israel.

6. On December 13, 1971, Roe v Wade was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, case became law of the land in June 1972. Since that decision, 63,459,781 babies have been sacrificed, untold more in hidden settings. God’s creation was deliberately, diabolically, heinously interfered with, and a once God-respecting nation simply went along. For the past fifty years, God has all but turned His back on America with a few exceptions – “And a veil has been placed on this Nation, and I did it! So, for a season, My people would wander and faith would increase for in darkness faith grows” says the Lord of Hosts. With the overturning of Roe v Wade by the placement of three conservative constitutional-minded Justices from Trump, who, the Lord Himself, placed into office much like a Cyrus to the Nation of Israel of old to save that nation from going over the cliff in total destruction, the Lord of Hosts gave the Land named America a gift of a new beginning. The Jubilee Year ends on September 24^th, a fifty-year hiatus by the Lord who will now consecrate the 50^th year and bring liberty back to the land and its’ inhabitants so all may know who is the Lord of lords and King of kings, and who will be allowed still another opportunity to repent – Leviticus 25:10.

Reading God’s Word further on this matter:

Haggai 2:10, 18-19: This Word from God’s prophet Haggai is also directed to God’s People of today – On the 24^th day of the 9^th month in the 2^nd year of Darius, the Word of the Lord came by Haggai the Prophet, “Thus says the Lord of Hosts…consider from this day onward, from the 24^th day of the 9^th month…the vine (can be interrupted as election fraud), the fig tree (political fraud), the Pomegranate (medical fraud), and the olive tree (financial fraud) have yielded NOTHING. But from this day on I will bless you.” As I stated previously, this speaks into the fact that corrupted and power-hungry men (and women) and man’s creation of government outside of God’s standards, has yielded nothing but bondage and deception of a huge magnitude. We have become like Babylon, corrupt, godless, crude, without respect for life only power, and the Lord of Hosts stands to collapse the rampant evil and demonically driven leaders who have sold-out for power, wealth, prestige, position. This is not only relegated to those in public office, but in industry, entertainment, business, medicine, school systems, and churches. The collapse will be sobering and far-reaching. Be forewarned that a massive change is about to occur to America. DO NOT allow fear to control you. DO NOT allow loss and severe shortages to take you away from giving thanks to the Lord in all things. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil for the Lord shall cover me, lead me, provide for me.

The Lord looks for His true ministers and the people of His Remnant to stand in the face of great calamity and proclaim His words. He wants His Watchmen to sound the Shofar of Warning for the day of His wrath and correction are near and now and have already begun across America. To those who have been given platforms to speak and teach, begin quickly to get His words out across the land, and, indeed, the world as you have been commissioned; to repent and come into submission (cooperation) with the plans I AM providing; plans that will give you a hope and a future. The Lord impressed upon me to remind His people, “I AM the Lord God, full of love and compassion that never fails when My people find their hope in Me, not man, not government, not systems of the world. Remind My people to seek Me now, turn their eyes on Me when My Signs and Wonders begin to bring serious correction across the land. Remind My people that My love and forgiveness are new every morning.”

The role of a watchman is to warn and teach.

======

The Lord El Shaddai (God Almighty – God is all-powerful; Genesis 17:1, Psalm 91:1) impressed upon me to share the words of His Servant David who wrote in Psalm 91:7 “A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.” David learned this truth as he fought against the diabolical forces in his day; the same forces we are about to see in many disturbing ways here in America, and, indeed, across the world!

The Lord is calling His Remnant so they may come to truly worship and praise Him, learn to submit (cooperate) with Him for their daily existence as the Disciples learned, and the First Century Church operated as described in the Book of Acts. America, and even across the world, the Lord of lords and King of kings is about to bring severe discipline (and even selected punishment) all of which will prove quite sobering. But He is calling His Remnant to Look UP, not focus on the events nor the tears and fears that will be all around…Look UP and train yourself to focus on Him, Yahweh Sabaoth (The Lord God who alone is our Savior and Protector – 1 Samuel 1:3; Isaiah 6: 1-3). America has walked away from the covenant made establishing this exceptional nation as ordained by God; a nation that was truly to be a light on the hill for all other nations to see and emulate. Our founding doctrines and principles, the very documents that spoke of our Judeo-Christian foundation from which we were to build upon and sustain have been all but thrown away. As a nation, we have become like Babylon, like Sodom and Gomorrah. The majority of elected officials are silent and complicit. The church at-large is likewise silent and not wishing to become at all controversial. Now…Attiq Yomin (The Ancient of Days – God is the ultimate authority who can judge all nations; Daniel 7:9, 13) shall speak!

Very similar in exhortation and power, very sobering in Signs and Wonders as demonstrated in Exodus when His Servant, Moses, represented the Lord before Pharaoh the Lord Almighty is bringing serious discipline across our Land named America, as well as across the world. The Lord shall be removing many in positions of power who have become reprobate and destructive to His Followers, as well as who have assisted in destroying the covenant made at the birth of this exceptional nation. The economic system shall be collapsed so a new birth of God’s economy can be restored. A great humbling is about to be unleashed upon this Land named America, but as I already proclaimed above, Look UP…submit your fears and tears unto the Lord, and do not look to man or institutions to sustain you during the coming transition. Look UP and fall upon your knees with other true Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) who NO longer simply want to go through ritual worship or structured gatherings simply to meet some requirement. Begin to study the Remnant in the Book of Acts who could not wait till their next time of fellowship, learning, worship and praise, prayer and resubmission to walk with their Lord in humility (trust). Cry out to the Lord to truly deliver you from your fears and tears, those things hidden deep inside keeping you from experiencing a new birth of freedom in Him. Seek fellowship with Remnant Believers who no longer want to play church but experience the reality of walking with Christ as His Disciples did. Call-out to the Lord in prayer and song, in spiritual worship the likes the church does not teach, nor promotes, nor even allows.

We are about to enter a period of great humbling as a people and as a nation. We are about to learn all over again who the Lord of lords and King of kings truly is, personally and as the true head over our nation. Fear NOT nor be afraid for the Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not want. He makes His own to lie down beside still waters. Even though you will walk through the Valley of Shadows where darkness abounds, be not afraid…for the Lord is your Shepherd and leads all who will submit with His rod and His staff. Look UP and learn to sing songs of praise and thanksgiving to the One who holds your life in His hands.

A Fellow Bond Servant of Yeshua Ha Messiach, (Jesus the Messiah)

The music is simply stunning and most moving as you read the words. How very sad music as such is even inspired. But may you enjoy this anyway, and may you give thanks that you do not need to concern yourself with bringing home a loved one.

Election integrity, fairness, fraud are all still very active discussions across America since the discovery in November 2020 that very serious violations of election integrity were discovered. My guest on this episode is Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem who also is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Election Fairness Institute. Our conversation is to continue and expose serious issues with our elections, as well as why the Elites do not want Donald Trump around anymore, actually, they never did want him around but thought they had it taken care of in November 2020.

Americans are not perfect, but Americans are a forgiving people, and when wrong is exposed Americans want to right the wrong, institute correction so as not to have a repeat of the wrong, and to embrace all who adopt the American values, creeds, and ideals formulated by our Forefathers who created this unique nation. There are, however, those who clearly despise America wishing and working to transform this nation into something it was never, ever intended to be. Attempting to accomplish this diabolical endeavor, they intend to erase all elements of our country’s history in the process.

America’s principles helped create a country like none other, an exceptional nation that many in elected office today resent and are working diligently to transform into merely a country within the global sphere of countries. These folks with dark hearts cannot comprehend why Americans defend their country with every drop of blood within them. Those with diabolical schemes coursing through their veins cannot figure why Americans look fondly to our nation’s origins, vigilantly assert their political rights and civic responsibilities, and hold in their hearts the special meaning that is America with our role, and yes, our responsibility in the world.

Transform America. Eradicate all signs and wonders of America’s exceptional creation. Forever remove all history so a population has no reference point, no foundation, and no appreciation, much less understanding of all the costs simply to bring us to this point in time. Transform America into something far removed from the ideals and vision our Forefathers intended and gave their sacred honor to embrace. Erase every monument and article of this nation’s history and redirect the citizens of America into a New-World Order that is not exceptional at all except for its’ tyrannical rule and removal of individual rights and freedoms, including the celebrating of individual gifts and strengths.

The men of the north and the men of the south would not have stood for this! No... the brave and dedicated men who faced off against one another in the War Between the States would have linked arms and faced off against the evil change and eradications now attempting to sweep across this land, and, indeed, the countries of the world. What about you?

Trump has tripped up the Globalists on multiple occasions, and hence the attempts on his life after the failure of keeping him out of office. The 2020 election was a very sophisticated, multi-national, financially very expensive plot to remove Trump from office not allowing him to return at reelection. It succeeded! But God. I believe, and have so written on multiple occasions, the Lord was not finished with America, and His plan for the world is still unfolding in a most timely manner. Nothing the Lord’s Hand touches is disorganized or listed as a failure. Nothing. What appears to be a setback may well be a setback in the eyes of man but was thought about and approved before the beginning of time, the Lord is the Alpha and Omega (Beginning and End). At times He, I believe, allows man to go about man’s plan even unto failure or multiple failures. Man will either then turn to the Lord for submission (means cooperation with the Lord’s plans) or will stubbornly go down a path of failure(s) and collapse. Either way the outcome shall be in accordance with the Lord’s plan as written and clearly expressed Biblically. Nothing happening in the Mid-East with Iran, etc. is a surprise to the Lord and is laid out in His Word, the Bible. Same be true domestically here in our nation. The politics and subversion by Marxist and Islamic forces is not a surprise to the Lord. He forewarned what would happen if we turned away from Him and the founding principles of this God-ordained nation. America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles outlined especially in the Old Testament Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The church rarely teaches about our founding biblical principles, schools absolutely do not any longer, and elected officials appear to be either ignorant or complicit in undermining the structure to serve as given and shown by our founders and first several decades of American government.

Run toward the Battle is an article I just distributed nationally. Get up off your chairs and out of your comfort zones and run for office at local levels, what may appear to be insignificant offices, and definitely find a strong Christian who is aligned with our founding principles with evidence toward the same. Vote for that individual, but demand evidence and consistency first. Run yourself if you agree with my sentiment above. We need leaders now more than ever. Stop merely ringing your hands and crying, “what will we do?” We are on a limited time frame, very limited in my opinion. Get off your chairs now!

U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) demonstrated what I just wrote. He said he would leave the Democrat Party if it officially becomes “the anti-Israel party.” 104 House Democrats voted to cut $3.3 billion in Israel security aid, which shows the direction the Democrats are quickly moving. Sen Fetterman also called out the Democrat Party saying he does not believe everything is fine. There is a “rot” inside the Party on Israel, he sees normalizing pro-Hamas sentiment, and the party flatly rejecting claims of genocide in Gaza. The list he provides of the Democrat Party becoming an anti-Israel, anti-US founding principles, pro-Socialist/Marxist, pro-Islamic party is real and detailed. His coming forward is one example of Run toward the Battle and standing up for truth and the American way. What examples can you give, right now, that are measurable not merely philosophical and talking?

We are in a war to preserve the United States of America. This statement is NOT mere conspiracy talk or sensational rhetoric. I pray people will get off their seats and run toward the battle in their small community, city, county, state and of course nationally.

RUN TOWARD THE BATTLE…not away.

This is a time of refinement and recalibration of values among Americans. This time is especially arranged for Believers in Christ. Milk Toast Christianity is not what the First Century Christians demonstrated, and you can look for yourself in the Book of Acts. The timidity rampant thru the present-day church is no match against the testing unfolding across our country, nor that which is yet to come. I pray the Lord releases a mighty bold conviction to stand; a bold conviction to bring renewed courage by brave-heart confessors of Christ who are not afraid to demonstrate their commitment to be followers of the Lord of lords and King of kings. This is also a time for reviving and renewing our individual, and collective as a nation, covenant with the Most High God! A time to renew our pledge to carry-out the promises our Forefathers made creating this exceptional nation.

RUN TOWARD THE BATTLE those who have ears to hear and eyes to see…RUN TOWARD THE BATTLE…not away.

America is a covenant nation – the only surviving nation on earth whose origins and determination are found in the papers and decrees of the Founding Fathers who established a country “to the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.” A covenant nation is one that recognizes that God and His purposes are supreme over the nation, that the highest role a nation can play is to reflect God’s righteousness in national policy, but also in domestic service.

There have been episodes in our country’s history when the American Dream faded and grew dim. Today…there is a real danger the American Dream will become the forgotten dream! Our founders were quite explicit, and they did not waste words nor were they afraid to stand, give their sacred duty and honor and were prepared to lose their homes, businesses, and even their lives to enforce the words they placed on paper for all to read. They knew well…

That Freedom is not the right to do as one pleases but the opportunity to please to do what is right!

The Founders did not seek freedom from law but freedom in law.

Not freedom from government but freedom in government.

Not freedom from speech but freedom in speech.

Not freedom from the press but freedom in the press.

Not freedom from religion but freedom in religion.

Run toward the battle! For we desperately need a return to government by principles, rather than politics. America is humanity’s last chance at establishing and demonstrating true freedom.

The Lord Most High is calling a Remnant! Much similar to the First Century Church the Lord is calling and seeing who will get off their seat, stop merely wringing their hands and crying aloud, “what do we do” all the while looking for someone else to begin running toward the battle…start running yourself!

RUN TOWARD THE BATTLE in your community, city, county and state, and definitely in our nation. I am asking you to stand and answer the call to run.

A couple of months after this person’s death on February 17, 2021, I was given the below letter he hand delivered to President Trump in 2020, and this patriot’s name is mentioned at the conclusion of the letter. I shared the letter in May of 2021 to an audience of about 800 along with additional thoughts as to where we are as a nation given the loss of President Trump to election fraud. Here now is the letter:

“…My days on earth are numbered; but before I fade away, there is something important I need to say. It may not be important to anyone else, but it is to me. Win, lose or fraud…President Trump, I want to say thank you for the last four years. Thank you for making it cool to be an American again. Thank you for showing us that we don’t need to be under China’s thumb anymore economically, or any other way. Thank you for all you have done for the minority communities, and the outstanding decrease in unemployment rates you had. Thank you for making it feel good to love our country and to be a proud patriot again. Thank you for supporting our nation’s flag and the men and women who fought for the freedom that stands behind that flag. Thank you for supporting our nation’s law enforcement organizations and understanding how difficult their job really is. Thank you for quelling the flood of illegal immigrants and bringing justice to thousands of criminals that flood brought us. Thank you for giving corporations a reason to come back to America to make our own products and put Americans back to work. Thank you for bringing our troops home from endless deployments that presented us with little more than body bags, and for your commitment to strengthen our military. Thank you for your never-ending attempts at bringing peace to the Middle East and your support for Israel. Thank you for Tax Relief and thank you for our energy independence. Most of all…THANK YOU for taking a damn rotten job that you never had to take! Thank you for caring enough for this country to want to try and make a difference. Thank you for showing Americans how little career politicians actually work for their constituents, and for showing us how much those politicians despise you for showing America how easy it is to build a great nation, rather than rape her to line their own pockets and stock portfolios. Thank you for allowing us to experience a President that wasn’t a lifelong politician, but a lifelong American.

THANK YOU, Mr. PRESIDENT…YOU DID YOUR BEST….” Signed, Rush Limbaugh

I pray Rush’s letter motivate you as we approach mid-term elections. The sophisticated, psychological war taking place across America to collapse America into a socialist country with strong Marxist and Islamic principles is on and moving ahead. Make NO mistake, America is in the bullseye to be removed as a sovereign nation and clearly our founding principles shall be destroyed. I am NOT being theatrical. I pray Rush’s letter gives you some energy to push forward mightily and protect this exceptional (not perfect) nation.

The ARIZONA TODAY show you are about to see was recorded on April 15, 2022. It is not a waste of your time viewing. My prophetic message is coming into reality, and similar to the 56-signers of the Declaration of Independence, there is a cry going forth for true Americans to Stand UP and protect the gift given to us with this exceptional nation. Please…please take the time to listen and consider not only what I am sharing but what you will do to respond to my message.

Benjamin Franklin as he exited Independence Hall in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, responded to Elizabeth Willing Powell’s question, “Dr. Franklin…what kind of government have you given us?” “A Republic if you can keep it.” We are at that point where we need to determine all over again, will we keep this Republic? I look at New York City, Seattle, Washington, Minnesota, Chicago and California. I fear the answers already coming forward that would make our founders Stand UP in defiance, seriously, not merely wring their hands and cry, “what do we do?”

Please take the time to listen and consider what I shared on my program four years ago directly below.

Our Founding Fathers had a strong sense of God’s presence in the work they were accomplishing birthing this nation. They reminded themselves frequently of this fact; and yes, maybe it was so none of them would forget. Maybe it was so they reminded each other, they reminded themselves personally in whose service they truly were. But something bad has happened in America, and it didn’t occur overnight or over a few years but over many, many years…decades. Americans lost their desire to cooperate with God, much less trust Him in the affairs of State. When man begins to amass almost God-like and unchecked power over the lives of people all sense of moral restraint is tossed aside. When man sits in seats of power like any elected official regardless of level, and the office holder has control over the mechanisms that shape society, namely government and its many institutions, tyranny is the natural result.

Today the rising tides of apathy, corruption, greed, deceit and gross immorality threaten to overwhelm the bulwarks erected by our founders. We are living through a time when the forces that have despised this experiment in government called America, have mustered massive and sobering forces of evil and darkness to snuff the candlelight of freedom, and render America impotent and finished as we have known her. I pray you are not tired hearing this. You see…it has been because of the principles of freedom and morality from which we were birthed as a nation, and covenant to God, by George Washington in his Inaugural Address as our First President that America has been privileged to be a shining city upon a hill for all to see and some even to emulate. We are an exceptional nation founded on exceptional principles, and these principles were enshrined in our founding documents. If those documents are destroyed, the foundation of our nation is lost. If the foundation is lost the whole structure of America crumbles under the weight of godless tyranny. Please know that the forces of darkness and intense vile hatred are circling working to collapse this exceptional Nation called America.

Be alert my fellow citizens to the wolves prowling, barely restrained and waiting to pounce and devour all who stand in their way. Strangely many across our nation do not see the danger right outside the door or simply do not believe it so. Many prefer to remain “comfortably numb” to the diabolical assaults taking place to collapse America. Our founders knew of these beasts waiting to pounce and devour bringing this experiment of freedom and constrained government to an end. Just as in the day at the formation of the colonies into a young but vibrant new nation, our Forefathers are crying out from their graves via their writings and spoken words, “will you stand and defend this gift given to us called America?” I ask if not you, then who should stand, help sound the alarm to your neighbors and those you meet? If not now…then when?

So where are the elected officials willing to stand, even at the chance they will be unelected for bringing forward such distasteful truths? Where are those seeking office who proudly and unabashedly will stand and state the tenets of seductive socialism and full-blown Marxism being pushed by liberal opportunists? As we approach America’s 250^th birthday, will we see 251? Marxism and Islam have joined hands to take down the “Great Satan, America.”

The Democrat Party has morphed into a mere form of socialist Marxism with Islamic ties. The Democrat Party is nowhere near the political party of our parents’ generation, grandparents’ generation. Democrat Party heroes like John F. Kennedy would be scoffed at today and tossed aside. Really?! Read what President John F. Kennedy said at a major speech:

“I think the Communist threat is serious. I think it’s a matter that we should continue to give great care and attention to. We should support the laws which the United States has passed in order to protect us from those who would destroy us from within. We should sustain the Department of Justice in its efforts in the FBI, and we should be continually alert.

I think if the U.S. is maintaining a strong society here at home, I think we can beat any internal threat. The major threat is external and will continue. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence on infiltration instead of invasion; on subversion instead of elections; on intimidation instead of free choice; on Guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its’ preparations are concealed not published, its’ mistakes are buried not headlined, its’ dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned. No rumor is printed. No secret revealed. It conducts this cold war, in short, with a wartime discipline no democracy would even hope or wish to match. Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of natural security.

The question we here in America need to make certain is answered strongly, is whether the restraints against such seductive invasion need to be more strictly observed if we oppose this kind of attack, as well as outright invasion?”

As we approach our nation’s 250^th birthday, I pray we find public officials at all levels in our society who will stand for and defend the principles by which our exceptional nation was birth. The coming, and already here, diabolical darkness intends to rid our land of those very founding principles. Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared I cry out for the enemy is already within our borders, our cities, our schools, our churches, our neighborhoods.

A senior and quite influential member of the House of Representatives, Judy Burges, spent such time listening and reading my submittals from which slowly and steadily she endorsed my introduction to colleagues from which the entire process was repeated. By 2011, Tea Party groups were calling me to present to their meetings, and rather quickly, I was speaking across Arizona once and even twice a week to hundreds. My power point presentation help tremendously explain the seduction of Agenda-21 and the serious impact this heinous act would have on our constitutional freedoms, but it gave legislators the opportunity to hear what I was presenting, and to take time to judge the merits, content and scope coming before them from those strongly in favor of the United Nations push on Environment and general Development of nations into regional sectors basically eliminating national sovereignty. “Establishing a new and global partnership through the creation of new levels of cooperation among all nations into regions for the good of the Earth” was one of the calls being touted by the Elites, the Globalists and those already sold-out to the Marxist ways.

Judy Burges became Senator Burges, and her history of being an astute legislator that sincerely placed Arizona first, not her next election, moved her into more influential positions. By 2015, I had earned sufficient trust from members that I was at the capitol two and even three times a week putting out “political fires” and bringing briefings on threats to our state and national founding principles. Bringing with me subject-matter specialists were also well received, as none of us were looking for favor, but truly attempting to provide solid threat assessments from which solid legislation could follow protecting our beloved State of Arizona. The fact that other states took notice was a bonus.

Senator Burges stature was well received and respected. From this came the following piece of legislation she wrote, and I was privileged to edit. Look at how we were ahead of the time given what has been happening to our country these past few years, and still today.

A.R.S. 16-805(D): It is the public policy of this state to protect the safety of the constitutional government of the state of Arizona by constitutional means and at the same time protect the rights of the members of our free society to speak, to assemble and to inquire, including the principle of academic freedom which by fostering healthy self-criticism is especially vital in the progress of man’s moral values and in man’s exploration of the secrets of the atom on this planet and in outer space. To protect the safety of this state and the right of free citizens in a free society to inquire and to understand totalitarianism, it is essential that the schools, colleges and universities teach objectively and critically the governmental and social forms of past and present totalitarian slave states, including foreign languages spoken therein. The rights set forth in this subsection do not include the right to embrace Communism or to attempt to persuade others to embrace Communism.

The link below will give you a glimpse of a senate hearing chaired by Senator Burges, with Senator Sylvia Allen testifying and a County Supervisor in his cowboy hat testifying. Truly Arizona was awakening to the seduction taking place. How about presently, today? Are our elected officials, regardless of political party, are they protecting the sovereignty of our nation? How about state elected officials doing the same in respect to the 10^th Amendment of our U.S. Constitution? Elections are coming…please think seriously about your vote and not be taken in by glitz and smiles.

Our beautiful flag is far more than “just a piece of cloth.” It is, in part, a remembrance of those who died or seriously injured for that piece of cloth, and the hope and prayer that future Americans shall never forget the cost of that piece of cloth and the privilege of flying, holding, having in their possession that piece of cloth.

On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution that a flag representing all thirteen colonies formed into one union would be produced and fly high over every colony, the small colonial navy, troops going into battle against the British, and homes showing love and support for our fledging little nation. That ALL the people of the colonies could come together salute, praise and fully support this new enduring symbol – the official flag of the new union. The battle for complete freedom and independence from Britian was only a year old, and already colonists had given their lives for prayerful freedom and independence, but the experiment of self-governance was still very much in doubt. By passing the resolution to create a unifying flag representing all thirteen colonies Congress made a declaration not just of independence from Mother Britian but for our new identity as a United States not mere independent colonies.

Today, June 14, 2026, our nation is nothing like the colonies. Our nation is stronger times one hundred or one thousand from the days of the birth of our flag. How many wars have we fought to introduce or return freedom to others? How many countries cried out for America in times of their catastrophes? How many instances has the United States of America, all 50 colonies if you allow me, assisted militarily or financially or both to keep the peace and allow freedom to prevail in other countries? That special cloth designed in 1777 is known world-wide, immediately recognized and in many ways still highly respected if not revered.

I believe, also, our nation is in trouble. We are facing issues that are threatening the very foundation of our unique country to crumble. Our moral and spiritual roots are eroding, the economy is hurting, family life is under assault and even disintegrating, and political forces are at odds never before seen. There are very, very few leaders willing to take a consistent and public stand placing God first and service to others second. Our founders would be aghast!

That special piece of cloth colored in red, white and blue has been shot at, bombed, taken down by force and death to be put right back UP by force and death. That special piece of cloth colored in red, white and blue has stood for 250 years as a reminder of what God presented to a group of men meeting in Philadelphia forming this exceptional nation, unlike any other before or since. In their seasons of distress and uncertainty, with hardship and threat of death hanging before them if the colonies being formed into Untied State of America did not succeed, they also came to know that unless they humbled themselves before Almighty God, they would not see healing and success to come to this infant nation apart from submission (cooperation) to God and His Word.

The 56-men who signed the Declaration of Independence bowed at their desks prior to coming forward and signing their names on that piece of paper. They had come to know, through ups and down, via arguments and reflections, during the myriad of hardships they had to address, and the few bright spots they celebrated, that no matter what they accomplished, it would be in vain unless they reached a point where they could say, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).

I pray you look at the colorful cloth of Red, White and Blue and see all I have written but also see the gift given to us by God, through the work of men (and women) of the colonies and beyond, and the Hand of God who directed all this exceptional nation has experienced. Like them, I pray we each submit to God’s will for our lives, not our own determinations and egos, but submit (cooperate) to the Lord’s plan for the fulfillment of that special Red, White and Blue cloth; what it was intended for and can still be, as well as each of our roles no matter what level, local, state, regional or national.

June 14^th is my birthday, Donald Trump’s and mine though he is five years my senior. My wife gave me a wonderful present, a wall plague that reads: “God is still writing your story. Quit trying to steal the pen. Trust the author.” May every reader of this article agree to what the plague said. Our nation, also.

No messing around! Ask each candidate, I do not care for what office, local, county, state or national, ask the questions below and demand an answer that is not “world salad” rambling and nebulous. Demand specific answers to these questions. Have five of your friends in the audience and each one of you take a question. Hold the candidate accountable. Let me write that again, Hold the Candidate Accountable to answer your question and not give a “word salad” response.

Folks, we are in a war to preserve this nation. I am not being sensational as I wrote above. I pray Americans wake-up and come out of being “comfortably numb.” Trump, with his faults, is attempting to bring this country back to our foundational principles and beliefs. He needs immediate help in congress, and in state houses across the nation. Will you help!?

Question # 1:

What is the proper role of government?

Our Founders were clear that government was to reflect the will of the people. It is the people who give government its authority.

Question # 2:

As an elected public official, you will be required to take an oath to uphold and preserve the Constitution of the United States. When was the last time you took a serious look at the Constitution?

Can you identify one or two areas where the Constitution is being violated today?

Question # 3:

What are your views about public debt? What is your opinion of using debt and how it should be paid off?

Our Forefathers warned about debt; it should be paid by the generation that created it!

Question # 4:

What is your view on unalienable rights stated by Jefferson in the Declaration?

These are rights given by our Creator. They cannot be taken by man without coming under the judgment of Him. This will tell you much about a candidate’s philosophy.

Question # 5:

Share your thoughts on: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Solutions should be based on morality and virtue.

As a Nation, we seem to have misplaced the truth that government derives its powers by consent of the governed; by We the People! So very many elected officials clearly appear to have misplaced, or outright ignored, that our Forefathers sought for elected office those who would represent the citizens first, not their own careers, and they would accomplish this as “Servant Leaders.”
