TO SURVIVE AND OVERCOME REQUIRES BEING ARMED WITH THREE CHRISTIAN VIRTUES 1 Corinthians 13:13identifies all three. But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. HOPE is necessary for survival and overcoming. Thus, our antichrist enemy wages the propaganda war (knowing the pen is mightier than the sword) in such a way as to remove hope. Much of this is done in the way of patriot radio programming, which, in reality, is nothing but FEAR RADIO. Instead of the gospel (which means good news) the news is impending economic Armageddon or coming biological holocaust, UN and alien invasion, concentration camps, black helicopters, famine, conquering conspiracies, etc., etc. Most of this is done under the guise of fighting evil and championing freedom when in reality, it is our sly, cunning enemy practicing their deceptive craft, knowing full well the spiritual truth ofProverbs 29:25;The fear of man brings a snare... You'll know the false prophet by his fruit (Matthew 7:16) and the fruit of many false patriots who always prophesy impending doom and gloom is HOPELESSNESS! This is not to say such potential calamities such as plagues, pestilence, war, and economic hardship do not exist. The truth is, there's really nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). It is also true that wicked men in high places plot and conspire against God's people. But it is not true that we have no hope. Rather, it is they, the wicked, who have no hope. The old adage of "there's no hope for the wicked" is true, or else God is a liar, for His word tells us, 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 37:7-9 Do not fret yourself because of evil-doers, or be envious of the wicked; For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. Proverbs 24:19,20 When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall. Proverbs 29:16 When men's fruits are such that it appears the wicked have all power and authority and you feel it's hopeless, then you are either listening to and/or following a man who is working for the other side or a man that's stupid and Biblically ignorant. A senseless man has no knowledge; nor does a stupid man understand this: That when the wicked sprouted up like grass, and all who did iniquity flourished, it was only that they might be destroyed for evermore. Psalm 92:6,7 When antichrists rob the people of hope, they rob them of courage. Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalms 31:24 Jesus Christ is our hope but our relationship with Him is impaired when we are robbed of hope. But Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. Hebrews 3:6 FAITH ranks with hope and, like hope, without it our relationship with our God is impaired. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 Presently the antichrist propaganda has people believing those who seek Him will be punished, not rewarded; that their lot will be the mark, starvation, torture, and death. The attitude of the hopeless many is WE HAVEN'T GOT A PRAYER. The truth is it is they who haven't got a prayer. The antichrist propagandists would have you believe they (the wicked) can do whatever they want. After all, they have the money, the media, the public opinion, the masses, the judges, the lawyers, the black helicopters, the UN Troops, the SWAT teams, etc. The truth is, they haven't got a prayer. The Christians have a prayer, yet why do we often fail to pray? It is due to a lack of faith, and we seem to intuitively know that prayer is worthless without faith. One must pray, BELIEVING! And Jesus answered and said to them. (Truly I say to you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, (Be taken up and cast into the sea', it shall happen. And everything you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive." Matthew 21:21-22 The antichrist doesn't see our guns nearly the threat to his one world, Communist-Socialist government that he dubs the New World Order, as he does our faith. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people. Salvation PROM OUR ENEMIES AND FROM THE HAND OF ALL WHO HATE US. Luke 1:68,71 In thee our fathers trusted; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them. To thee they cried out, and were delivered in Thee they trusted, and were not disappointed. Psalm 22:4-5 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him? Deuteronomy 4:7 Though Christians, at this time, seem to fail to grasp the significance of1 John 5:3-5, the Christian's adversary understands it full well. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith. The Greek word translated here as world means "world order" and the Greek word for overcome means,to prevail, to conquer. LOVE is the greatest in this threesome of faith, hope and love. But now abide faith; hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 Without it, we are nothing. ...if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2 Our adversary understands this. Love brings about obedience to God which means defeat and destruction to our enemy and their tower of Babel, New World Order plans. Peter’s statement of…,We must obey Got rather than men, (Acts 5:29), was love based, though the antichrists call it hate. Jesus made it clear that love is tied to obedience. If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15 For example, consider the law in China that limits to number of children per family with he state thus forcing abortion on the people. [Are we so naive as to believe socialist, communist planners, like Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, would not favor such a law for us?] Yet, the law of God, forbids such murder of our children and directs us to be fruitful and multiply. Love then compels us to obey God rather than man. Another example could be gun confiscation called, at this time, gun control. Jesus taught His disciples not to be found defenseless but rather to own a weapon (Luke 22:36). Without a weapon, a Christian father cannot provide proper defense and protection for his family which, in itself, is a violation of God's word. (1 Timothy 5:8) If someone comes into a Christian man's home to violate his wife or his children, it is love that causes the head of the home to protect them. If a state SWAT team and soldiers come to take his pregnant wife to force an abortion or take his children for forced inoculations, it is love that causes him to defend them. Because love compelled him to obey Christ rather than man, regarding the right to own a defense weapon, he then has a way (and a will) to defend his family. (This is not so in China since the people have no weapons). Someone may say, "then the state may kill that Christian man." Yet that is not a cause of concern, because love casts out fear (1 John 4:18) and love causes him to be more concerned for truth and justice and the freedom of future generations than for his life. Thus with faith, hope and love, the antichrist plans of a One World Order cannot survive, and they are overcome.
