Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unseachable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33: 3 (NIV)

 
God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit reign in our lives each day. If we all ask our Heavenly Father in unison; he promises to answer us. God loves us so much, he gave His only Son to us, as the sacrificial lamb. Through the Holy Spirit we can do miracles God Himself wants accomplished, but we must believe and worship Him with our unending love. Pray for God to answer and tell us what needs to done to accomplish a miracle on earth. Only God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, have the power to guide us.
 
Watch the clip "every eye" below and remember to pray every day.
 
God Bless,

America's war on terrorism is truly justified.

America Wake Up    

Dan Ouimette
Pensacola Civitan
February 19, 2003       

        

"America, wake up!" That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001, and maybe it was, but I think it should have been, "Get out of bed!" In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979, and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.

It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. This seizure was an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world's most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a presidency. The attack on this sovereign U.S. embassy set the stage for the events to follow for the next 23 years.

America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then-President Carter had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin but stood as a symbol of America's inability to deal with terrorism. America's military had been decimated and
downsized since the end of the Vietnam War. A poorly-trained, poorly-equipped, and poorly-organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start.

Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against U.S. soil continued.

In April 1983, a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the U.S. Embassy compound in Beirut. When it exploded, it killed 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the snooze button once more.

Then just six short months later, a large truck heavily laden with over 2,500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the U.S. Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut. Two-hundred forty-one U.S. servicemen were killed. America mourned her dead and hit the snooze button once more.

Two months later, in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives was driven into the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, and America continued her slumber.

The following year, in September 1984, a van was driven into the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, and America slept.

Soon, the terrorism spread to Europe. In April 1985, a bomb exploded in a restaurant frequented by U.S. soldiers in Madrid.


Then in August, a Volkswagen loaded with explosives was driven into the main gate of the U.S. Air Force Base at Rhein-Main.  Twenty-two were killed, and the alarm was buzzing louder and louder as U.S. soil was continually attacked.

Fifty-nine days later, a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, was hijacked, and we watched as an American in a wheelchair was singled out of the passenger list and executed.

The terrorists then shifted their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when they bombed TWA Flight 840 in April 1986, killing four.  The most tragic bombing, that of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killed 259.

America wants to treat these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact, we are still trying to bring these people to trial.  These are acts of war. The wake-up alarm is louder and louder.

The terrorists decided to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two CIA agents were shot and killed as they entered CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists were arrested after a rented van packed with explosives was driven into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people were killed and over 1,000 were injured. Still, this is a crime and not an act of war? The snooze button is pressed again.

Then in November 1995, a car bomb exploded at a U.S. military complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing seven servicemen and women.

A few months later, in June 1996, another truck bomb exploded only 35 yards from the U.S. military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroyed the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500.

The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America does not respond decisively.

They moved to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on two U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. These attacks were planned with precision. They killed 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and goes back to sleep.

The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on October 12, 2000 when a small craft pulled alongside the ship and exploded, killing 17 U.S. Navy sailors. Attacking a U.S. war ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to sleep.

Of course, you know the events of September 11, 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against U.S. soil or in America. How wrong they are. America has been under constant attack since 1979, and we chose to hit the snooze button and roll over and go back to sleep.

In the news lately, we have seen lots of finger-pointing from every high official in government
over what they knew and what they didn't know. But if you've read the papers and paid a little attention, I think you can see exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979.

President Bush is right when he says we are engaged in a war. I think we have been in a war for the past 23 years, and it will continue until we, as a people, decide enough is enough.

America has to get out of bed and act decisively now. America has changed forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot afford to hit the snooze button again and roll over and go back to sleep. We have to make the terrorists know that, in the words of Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor in
1941, "all they have done is awakened a sleeping giant."

A LESSON TO MY SON (Email 4/14/2003) Thanks JA, God Bless.
by A PROUD AMERICAN Irma S. Chambers

 

img103.gif

                    

The other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at war.  My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our country again today.  I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation.

My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He told him:

"Son, stand there and tell me what you see?"

"I see trees and cars and our neighbors houses," he replied.

"OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the United States of America and you are President Bush."

Our son giggled and said "OK."

"Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country," my husband said.

"OK Dad, I'm pretending."

"Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and see that man come out of his house with his wife and he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face, he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death. Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids and afraid of their father. You see all of this son....what do you do?"

"Dad?"

"What do you do son?!"

"I call the police, Dad."

"OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations and they take your call, listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help. What do you do then son?!"

"Dad, but the police are supposed to help!" My son starts to whine.

"They don't want to son, because they say that it is not their place or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it," my husband says.

"But Dad...he killed her!!" my son exclaims.

"I know he did...but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you're pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children."

"Daddy...he kills them?"

"Yes son, he does. What do you do?"

"Well, if the police don't want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him," our son says.

"Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him," my husband says.

"But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can't stop him by myself!!"

"WHAT DO YOU DO SON?"

Our son starts to cry.

"OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?"

"What Daddy?"

"He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire and then...he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in he window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?!!!"

"Daddy..."

"WHAT DO YOU DO?!!!"

Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, "I close the blinds, Daddy."

My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him... "Why?"

"Because Daddy.....the police are supposed to help...people who needs it....and they won't help....You always say that neighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won't help either...they won't help me stop him...I'm afraid....I can't do it by myself...Daddy.....I can't look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things and...and.....do nothing...so....I'm just going to close the blinds....so I can't see what he's doing........and I'm going to pretend that it is not happening."

I start to cry.

My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husbands questions and he tells him...."Son"

"Yes, Daddy."

"Open the blinds because that man....he's at your front door..."WHAT DO YOU DO?!!!!"

My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up this tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!"

I see a tear roll down my husband's cheek and he grabs my son to his chest and hugs him tight, and cries..."It's too late to fight him, he's too strong and he's already at YOUR front door son.....you should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife. You have to do what's right, even if you have to do it alone, before......it's too late," my husband whispers.

THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq. When good men stand by and let evil happen is the greatest EVIL of all. Our President is doing what is right. We, as a free nation, must understand that this war is a war of humanity. WE must remove this evil man from power so that we can continue to live in a free world where we are not afraid to look out our window and see crimes on humanity.

So that my nine year old son won't grow up in a world where he feels that if he just "closes" the blinds the atrocities in the world won't affect him.  Today the second day of "WAR on IRAQ" I felt compelled to write this and pass it along. Hopefully, you will understand the lesson my husband tried to teach our son.

"YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!" BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! BE PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENT! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT THEM!!! SUPPORT AMERICA!! SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS...."

This Pastor has guts!! 7/2003

angel warrior guy gilchrist1.jpg 

 

Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people.

When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard. "Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and Called it enlightenment.


Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will and to openly ask these things in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen!"


The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "one nation under God." If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything."

 

Think about this: if you forward this prayer to everyone on your email list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world.

Subject: From a Romania Newspaper News Editorial Clip   Sent Email: 09/25/2002
The United States rarely gets a chance to see another country's editorial, written presenting our country in a positive way, until this editorial was written. When you think most countries in the world do not appreciate, nor like the United States, the kind words in the editorial reflect and speak of the American People, as we really are.  Even if this is not a Romania Editorial, it does describe how our Country joined and how we will continue to join and fight to keep our freedom.

An Ode to America

 

 

Why are Americans so united?  They do not resemble one another even if you paint them!  They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations.  Some of them are nearly extinct, others are incompatible with one another and in matters of religious beliefs, and not even God can count how many there are.

Still, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart.  Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, nor the Secret Service of wrongdoing.  Nobody rushed to empty his or her bank accounts. Nobody rushed on the streets nearby to gape about.

The Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.  After the first moments of panic, they raised the flag on the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a minister or the president was passing.

On every occasion, they started singing their traditional song: "God Bless America!" Silent as a rock, I watched the charity concert broadcast on Saturday once, twice, three times, on different TV channels.  Celebrities that donated their talents were: Clint Eastwood, Willie Nelson, Robert de Niro, Julia Roberts, Cassius Clay, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Springsteen, Silvester Stallone, James Wood, and many others whom no film producer could ever bring together before.

The Americans' solidarity spirit turned them into a choir.  Actually, choir is not the word.  What you could hear was the heavy artillery of the American soul.  What neither George W. Bush, nor Bill Clinton, nor Colin Powell could say without facing the risk of stumbling over words and sounds, was being heard in a great and unmistakable way in this charity concert.

I do not know how it happened that not all this obsessive singing of America sounded croaky, nationalist, or ostentatious!  It made you green with envy because you were not able to sing for your country without running the risk of being named a chauvinist, ridiculous, or suspected of who-knows-what.

I watched the live broadcast and the rerun of its rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was. Additionally, of the Californian hockey player, who fought with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that would have killed another unknown number of people.  How were they able to bow before a fellow human?  Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes.

Moreover, with every phone call, Americans donated millions and millions of dollars aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit that money can not buy.  What can unite the Americans in such a way?  Their land?  Their galloping history?  Their economic power?  Money?  I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with risk of sounding like common places.  I thought things over, but I reached only one conclusion.
Only “freedom” can work such miracles.

United States of America

Subject: Fw: DO NOT FORGET - FROM A MARINE (Received Email 9/24/2002)


I sat in a movie theater watching "Schindler's List," asked myself, "Why didn't the Jews fight back?"

Now I know why.

I sat in a movie theater, watching "Pearl Harbor" and asked myself, "Why weren't we prepared?"

Now I know why.

Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil people.

On September 11, 2001, dozens of capable airplane passengers allowed themselves to be overpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists because they did not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated their captors.

On September 11, thousands of innocent people were murdered, because too many Americans naively reject the reality that some nations are dedicated to the dominance of others. Many political pundits, pacifist's and media personnel want us to forget the Carnage. They say we must focus on the bravery of the rescuers and ignore the cowardice of the killers. They implore us to understand the motivation of the perpetrators. Major television stations have announced they will assist the healing process by not replaying devastating footage of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers.

I will not be
manipulated.

I will not
pretend to understand.

I
will not forget.

I will not
forget the liberal media who abused freedom of the press to kick our country, when it was vulnerable and hurting.

I will not forget that CBS anchor Dan Rather preceded President Bush's
address to the nation with the snide remark, "No matter how you feel about him, he is still our president."

I will not forget that ABC TV anchor Peter Jennings questioned President Bush's motives for not returning immediately to Washington, DC and commented, "We're all pretty skeptical and cynical about Washington."

And I will not forget that ABC's Mark Halperin warned if reporters weren't informed of every little detail of this war, they aren't "likely -- nor should they be expected -- to show deference."

I
will not isolate myself from my fellow Americans by pretending an attack on the USS Cole in Yemen was not an attack on the United States of America.

I will not forget the
Clinton administration equipped Islamic terrorists and their supporters with the world's most sophisticated telecommunications equipment and encryption technology, thereby compromising America's ability to trace terrorist radio, cell phone, land lines, faxes and modem communications.

I will not be appeased with pointless, quick retaliatory strikes like those perfected by the previous administration.

I will not be comforted by "feel-good, do nothing" regulations like the silly "Have your bags been under your control?" question at the airport.

I will not be influenced by so called, “antiwar demonstrators" who exploit the right of expression to chant anti-American obscenities.

I will not
forget the moral victory handed the North Vietnamese by American war protesters who reviled and spat upon the returning soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines.

I will not be softened by a dream of pacifist's who chose reassurance over reality.

I will embrace the wise words of Prime Minister Tony Blair who told Labor Party conference, "They have no moral inhibition on the slaughter of the innocent. If they could have murdered not 7,000 but 70,000, does anyone doubt they would have done so and rejoiced in it?

There is no compromise possible with such people, no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must!"

I will force myself to:

-hear the weeping
-feel the helplessness
-imagine the terror
-sense the panic
-smell the burning flesh
- experience the loss
- remember the hatred.

I sat in a movie theater, watching "Private Ryan" and asked myself, "Where did they find the courage?"

Now I know.

We have no choice. Living without liberty is not living.

-- Ed Evans, MGySgt., USMC (Ret.)
Not as lean, Not as mean, But still a Marine.

Keep this going until every living American has read it and memorized it
so we do not make the same mistake again.
