ARTICLE: AMERICA: THE UNTOUCHABLES?

PREFACE STATEMENT: I promise, you the reader, that i have every good intention of keeping these "articles" short, sweet and to the point. However, I can only point to the fact that I am a Christian writer (author) and when the Holy Spirit stirs my heart up with passion about a subject matter, I couple "divine passion" with the gift to express in the form of writing" and TA DAH--the birth of one of my Facebook Articles. I will always attempt to be obedient to the instruction(s) of The Holy Spirit.. Please read and share regardless of my lengthy and descriptive narrations on the subject matter. Be blessed and encouraged my beloved family and friends. (Also, please share this with those individuals who you believe will be encouraged.)

FOREWARNING: YOU WILL HEAR ME SAY THE WORD "REALLY" A LOT DURING THE WRITING OF THIS ARTICLE. THIS COULD CAUSE A SIDE-EFFECT OF YOU DESIRING TO JOIN ME WITH A OVERSIZED "AMEN" AND JOINING ME IN ADDING AN EXTREMELY LARGE (?) QUESTION MARK AT THE END OF THE WORD EACH TIME I USE IT.. (IE., REALLY?)

As I begin, I must make it very clear that I try not to serve as a mouthpiece on the issues or platforms concerning "Politics and World Affairs". This is not to alleviate or dismiss our need as Christians to be aware of the political climate of the world around us. I am just saying Father has clearly called me to address specific social issues that I not only speak from a "secular paradigm" but also from the Christian (Body of Christ) perspective (from one Christian to another Christian). We all know as human beings that no one is exempt from the inherent sinful nature (Thank you Adam and Eve!) I am more comfortable in addressing the following social issues: "The Sin of Homosexuality"--"Gay Equality" ("Gay marriage and Gay Parenting"); "Transgenders"; "The Epidemic of the Sin of Pornography in The Church Today"; "The Queen James Version of the Bible (aka The "Gay Bible"). Or the Holy Spirit inspires me to talk about the subjects of: "The Gay Christian"; "The Gay Church"; "The CO-EXIST and the LOVE WINS Campaigns"; "Apostasy and The End Time Church"; or "The Sin of Adultery in The Church", among other societal issues that the world is facing today.

I have prefaced the aforementioned, My beloved family and friends, because I am about to take a "political stance" on something that recently happened inn Paris, France. Keep the phrase "the massive waters that separate" in mind-- I promise it will make sense as you continue to read this article. I debated whether I should write this article and post it exclusively on my blogspot, but I really felt a strong sense of urgency (a feeling that many Christians are experiencing today--with the threats of terrorism and the evidence of the Sin of Lawlessness, not only around the world, but in our nation, America.) It is important for those of us who claim to be authentic followers of Jesus Christ to be abreast to what Father's servants (Prophets) are speaking. There is a common thread running through the tapestry of divine revelation and instruction the Holy Spirit is speaking to Father's Children. I am honored if I can be any source of encouragement to any of you. I must admit, however, as one of Father's prophetic voices in these last days, I carry a heavy burden and strong sense of urgency for all of Father's family members. In doing so, I believe it is appropriate to coin what Father God said to Apostle Paul concerning Paul's request for the removal of his "thorn in the flesh" - Father said to him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I join in great company as I embrace this truth; standing in a position of readiness and empowered in Jesus Christ and ALL He has equipped each Christian with. Although this is indeed the greatest time to be alive in Christendom, and we are "the generation" to be living in the last days, there is an intense challenge we face as followers of Christ "for such a time as this", Father will remain faithful to the very end (Read 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and Philippians 1:6).

The Holy Spirit has stirred up something in my heart and as always, I desire to be obedient to His leading. the Topic: What the media is now referring to as "The Night of Terror in Paris"; the terrorist attacks on Paris (France) at 9:20 p.m. on Friday, November 14, 2015.

In the late hours following the terrorists attack on innocent, unexpectant Parisians who were in attendance in surrounding local restaurants, a sports arena and a theatre auditorium, every news channel media was carrying coverage of the story. I and Sue intently and prayerfully observed the many horrific blood-stained scenes in the news video footage; and we heard the various news commentators, as well as, eyewitness accounts of these attacks. However, there was one news affiliate reporter, who stood in front of what could have been a painted scenic backdrop of the infamous Eiffel Towers. In truth, the setting for this correspondent's news report sent forth a "loud and clear" message of the reality of terrorist brutality that occurred in the "City of Love". Up to that very moment, in this particular report, I was well-informed, however, then this same reporter makes the outlandish and "out of touch with reality" statement below:

"Although these seemingly well-organized and orchestrated terrorist attacks, in Paris, are sheer tragedy for the French Parisians, Americans can rest assured that it is safe, due to the "massive waters that separate The United States of America from what is currently happening in Paris, France and throughout Europe".

REALLY? I would love to pose a few questions of my own here: Does this reporter believe "Americans are the world's "Untouchables"? And if he does, could it be possible that he would also embrace the deceptive thought that somehow "The U.S.A. is exempt from any threats from this particular terrorist group (or any other "terrorist group" for that matter) in its near future? Incidentally, FYI -- Intelligent Agents of both France and The United States, are now reporting that the ISIS terrorist group is boasting of being responsible for these recent attacks on Paris. If I may take the liberty to pose another question my beloved; Are we to presume this is the same ISIS that President Barack Hussein Obama was talking about hours earlier in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America? President Obama stated:

“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”

“What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures,” he admitted. “We’ve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part our goal has to be to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense.”

Again, my beloved, I say REALLY? Not only do we have a young, novice, slightly irresponsible news journalist making ridiculous "out of touch with reality" statements about "the untouchability of America", but, we also have the President of the United States, President Barack Hussein Obama who also seems to be 1.) Living on some other planet; 2.) Perhaps "he is a figment of HIS OWN IMAGINATION", or, 3.) Could it be we are "Not to adjust our television set" (for all of your 1959-1960 sci-fi program fans)-- It may be possible President Obama is an "alien" on some strange plane in an old episode of The 1959 Twilight Zone Television Series? PRAYER ALERT: The very fact that President Obama is making the aforementioned statement on Good Morning America, hours before this horrific tragedy and worldwide threat, from the "contained" ISIS group, is an example of why we MUST continue to pray for him. We must be reminded of what The Bible says concerning the leadership in all nations of the world. (See the scripture below):.

Romans 13:1 tells us this truth: "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

Let's continue reviewing the news coverage shall we?

"The Darkness of evil", in its attempt to cloak the terrifying evidence of chaos and mass confusion in the streets of Paris, could not guise the devastation that some would refer to as "contained" terrorist group's, when in reality (and pitiful hindsight) was a blatant demonstration of evil rampage on the innocent lives of so many--provoking fear for many; and a "Call to Arms" for those who undoubtedly would eventually vow to seek vengeance on these Satan-spawns-- the Muslims who declare Allah as "the ONE God" and for many of these believers, in a false god, who don't even recognize that the word "Allah" means "Moon god". These followers of Allah (Muslims) also believe in not just spreading fear and terror throughout the land(s), but Muhammad, and his followers--those who proclaim the Islam religion is one of "peace, love and kindness" , are also targeting ALL Jews and Christians. Although these radical Muslim terrorist groups "deny calling Jews and Christians the "Infidel", their actions against these two groups speaks something totally different than their so-called little "g" godly characteristics of "fruits of the spirit".. My beloved brethren, we must know what Father's word says regarding such contrary "actions (evidence of "fruit"). Matthew 7:16 "You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" All I see in their actions is mutant, demonic "thornbushes and thistles" among the grapes and figs. Let "the truth set the captives free" (John 8:32).

To further elaborate on the issue of the "infidel", let us look at a section of The Qur'an below to receive additional clarity to avoid any unnecessary, useless debate or ungodly chatter and/or confusion on the matter:

According to some "Quran Scholars", the translation of the word "kafir" as infidel is a grave error. The word "infidel" means someone who does not believe in God. The Qur’an does not allege that Jews and Christians do not believe in God. On the contrary, the Qur’an refers to Jews and Christians respectfully as “People of the Book” and says:

“And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say, “We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam).”

REALLY? and again I say REALLY? Does the line "...except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury):" sound opposite of what these radical Muslim/Islamic terrorist groups (ie., ISIS) are doing? Sure doesn't require a degree in Rocket Science to figure this one out folks!

[Al-Qur’an 29:46]
According to the Quran There is no such thing as “holy war” in Islam or in the Qur’an. This is a mistranslation of the word. Holy war is carried out to forcibly subject others to one’s religious beliefs. This is expressly forbidden in Islam."

REALLY? Here we go folks! Is the aforementioned "belief statement" in the Qur'an matching up with what we are seeing in the news media coverage; the videos of the beheading of Egyptian Christians or the scenes of women and children being raped and killed; or bodies of men being lined up in ditches and being shot in the back of the head; or hearing the stories across parts of the Middle East where Christians are being crucified on crosses or other inhuman, horrendous acts of evil destruction? I ask you, my beloved, does this look like the "good fruit" in the Islamic Orchards of a loving, kind and peaceful "religion"? Or do you also see rotted, fermented (and demented) "fruit" that speaks loud and clear of an orchard that needs to be cut with a "holy axe at its root"?

The Bible refers to the action of "cutting away with an axe" in Matthew 3:10 and often, there is the immediate assumption this is referring to any unhealthy or useless "fruit" that exists in the life of a Christian. While this could very well be applicable in Christianity, when we look at this same scripture, we can see how this could definitely serve in describing any false religions, tongues or nations, who do not serve The I AM (The One TRUE Living God - YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah or Adonai) Matthew 3:10 says "And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire". (Please seek the Holy Spirit on the application of this scripture in the case of false religion, tongues and nations. Selah!)

I bet you are so ready to hear my final "REALLY?" aren't you? If you aren't, my beloved family and friends, I am. REALLY? YES- Really already! There I got that out of my system. Now we know why I probably wouldn't make a very good "News Reporter in a non-editorial capacity" for some prestige news media staff. When reporting on important issues concerning the world, I would find myself constantly responding with the question .....well, you know the word! LOL I know--I wouldn't make a good professional "comedian either". I think I will stick with being a Preacher and a prophetic voice "for such a time as this" (at least I will always have a great boss to answer to - amen?) I pray that in all of my political stance that you have been inspired, encouraged, challenged, and informed with what is happening on the scenes, or in the arena, of Politics and World Affairs. I won't make the promise that I won't ever get on my "political soap box" again, but I will surely attempt to leave the real news reporting to the experts (and this isn't referring to the novice reporter in front of the Eiffel Towers or a President, who I personally believe, DOES think HE IS UNTOUCHABLE. Let's keep praying folks and particularly for the people in Paris tonight. Love you all! Be blessed! Happy Monday!!
