"THE TRUTH IS..."



 
Gun-Totin Clingers On The Vine


In April 2008 Barack Obama accused conservative evangelicals in small-town America of being, "bitter about their lives, and that's why they cling to their guns and their religion." He was on the campaign trail, and it was one of those dry-cistern moments that small-town America will never forget.

Barack Obama had no real concept of what he was saying, nor did he realize how much of an idiot he was making of himself when he said it. In Matthew 12:34 Jesus warns us all that, "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

Mr. Obama had meant to insult us. Big time! Even his searching gaff  hiccupped mockery. But the Father who sits on the throne, the Omnipotent One who sees and hears everything, didn't think it was funny. That's why Mr. Obama's insult whirled around in mid-air and returned back upon his own head. That's why in the flash of a nanno-second the man was exposed. The cat was out of the bag. He stood naked of brotherly love and any minute trace of diplomatic ethics.

In that instant Heaven gasped and Earth covered her face in shame, embarrassed before the universe that one who was made of the good earth  had deliberately and nationally belittled and besmirched the Living God. In that instant our  Beloved Republic swayed in the winds of change that could only destroy and burn every timber and every stone until America is no more.

The last days are upon us and such arrogance is to be expected, but woe to those that take delight in it. Their's is the spirit of anti-Christ...

Not every professing Christian caught the moment but every conservative evangelical, every Born-Again-Spirit-filled child of Almighty God caught it on the fly. Mr. Obama didn't identify with Christian "clinging," and he didn't know the difference between "religion" and "relationship."

It was so evident. This freshman senator, still wet behind the ears, had let it slip that he has nothing but disdain for committed Christians, and he has even more disdain for America's image as a Christian nation. We knew in that moment, by the Spirit of the Lord, that if he were elected he would trample both as rock-hard obstacles to his personal agenda. He would do so with the impudence of grabbed authority and absolute rule over those he governed.

We could see the idol-worship he was conjuring up, and the Messianic adoration of the blinded "anything goes" crowd gaining momentum and through it all, Mr. Obama never denied he was a god or the Messiah they celebrated him to be...

Congress would follow him through fire and flood, bowing to his bidding, giving him anything he wants...

It is a tragedy for America and for all Americans that the starry-eyed idol worshippers didn't see it for they will surely live to regret the day he stepped into the Oval Office.

The day after Barack Obama offended the Christians, the National Rifle Association came out for target practice. They had their say then. Now, little more than a year later, having watched his disdain take shape in his policies, strutting a defiant, in-your-face, "I won" thuggery, it is my turn to respond:

·         Mr. Obama,

·           "Choosing to identify conservative evangelicals as "bitter" was a bit harsh, and to the far-far-left of a true Christian character. In fact,  saying we are bitter is out-and-out slander. Conservative evangelicals in small-town America - or large city America - even in the plains of America - do not know, "bitter." Our faith defies such a destructive  distraction of the deep trust we have in Christ. We are however, sorrowful...

·           "We see the morals of this nation sliding off our once-white cliffs into free fall. We weep for the little ones of two American generations who have been coldly and systematically murdered. And we have endured attempt after attempt by haters of America to take away our Constitutional and God-given rights.

·           "We see multitudes shrugging off these prophetic end- times as if they have a thousand tomorrows to eat, drink, marry and give in marriage, and so we mourn for those that turn their backs to the only Savior that can give them those thousand tomorrows.

·           "Add to this our disappointment that there is no Reagan to lead this nation's charge under God, but we know as surely as we know God holds tomorrow, that The Lord of Hosts, who led the Israelites through the Red Sea, will go before us and will bring us out on the other side even as you pursue us, perhaps even in spite of your "made-in-hell" executive orders.

·           "You may represent the majority of the dumbed-down Democrats and the ungrateful Jews in this country, but you don't represent the God-fearing, gun-totin, flag-flying  patriots of God and country that shout HIS praises and trust HIS Word.

·           "You have a lot of innocent blood on your hands, Mr. Obama. In addition you have slandered our Beloved USA before foreign dignitaries and you have stooped so low as to blackmail Israel. You have violated the Constitution with multiple orders and resolutions, and caused Congress to share in your betrayals.

·           "You have broken every Covenant Commandment God issued at Mt. Sinai, commandments long honored in the halls of this nation, and you have encouraged Congress to share in your heresy. You have placed America under a curse, a very old curse, spoken in the promise of God to Abraham, "I will bless those that bless you and I will curse those that curse you."

·           "When you attempt to throw Israel under the tanks of his enemies, you place America under that curse. When you strip away American committments to be a trusted friend to Israel, when you demand Israel  give sacred land to sworn enemies that seek to annihilate him - you incur God's judgment on America.

·           "As for clinging to our guns and our religion - you betcha!  We may be meek but we're not weasels, and we have no uncle but Sam. As long as you are in Our White House, in any capacity, we will not be stupid - we will watch - we will listen - we will pray - we will keep the weapons  of our faith cocked and instant in season and out of season - and we who are the true branches will cling tenaciously and without ceasing to the indestructible Vine that is Jesus Christ (John 15:1-2).

·           "The day is coming soon when you will meet the Crowned Vine of Our Father's Vineyard face to face - when He returns in His Glory to bring the justice of judgment to all those that have opposed Him and have cast their lots against Israel, the apple of His eye on this earth!

 

·           "As for those lukewarm, compromising, in-name-only Christians that voted for you, they will have to answer to the Father as to why they voted for a man who scorns every trace of Christianity and who has so much blood on his hands.

·           "Finally, you are the man who had the audacity to ban prayer in the White House and who refused to join Americans on America's National Day of Prayer, an annual series of events for seeking God's Grace on behalf of this nation, a day first established and set aside throughout our colonies in 1775."

We can neither judge nor condemn what is rooted and grounded in your heart. Nor can we know of a truth what God sees when He looks upon your heart. But we can judge your works, in fact, we are commanded by the Word of God to do so. Therefore we have come to know you through your fruits (deeds), and the darkness that walks with you.

If we could, we would plead with you, Mr. Obama, and with every one of your congressional and citizen-minions to turn around and see the truth. We would minister God's gift of life to you day and night for as long as it takes if it would bring to the Savior the fruit of your repentence, and the only change in your heart worth pursuing.

But as long as your hearts are hardened, as long as your ears hear only the  serpent, as long as the power of corrupt politics mean more to you than the Savior's Redemption, we cannot help you.

And neither can God...
