There is an ancient practice of beheading those who bring bad news to the King, emperor or whatever you want to call them.  In fact it continues in modern times.

“A modern version of attacking the messenger can be seen when persons blame the media for presenting bad news about a favored cause, person, organization, etc. The fact remains that ‘shooting the messenger may be a time-honored emotional response to unwelcome news, but it is not a very effective method of remaining well-informed.”(Wikipedia)

There have been many instances of this lately, and they are getting worse.  Christian bloggers have been labeled as right wing, extremist, biased, and the list goes on and on.  The woman Diane Reidy who gave a message in the House Chambers that God would not be mocked, has disappeared from the public eye, the latest attack on a TV star for daring to say homosexuality was a sin show’s just how far they will go.  They are attacking Christian sites for reporting on Persecution in the Middle East.

Christians have even fallen into this line.  I have seen so much these last weeks that it’s quite frankly, sickening.  How dare you point out that our government is funding terrorists, and how dare you point out that there is persecution, and how dare you point out truth’s from the Bible.  How dare you question our traditions?  It goes on and on.  Christians have become divided as never before.  At a time when we need to come together, we are divided, we are made out to be a laughing stock of the world.

Let’s look at recent news.  Those who have been watching know full well, that the phrase ‘Arab Spring’ was invented by western media.  It was fabricated to install the Muslim brotherhood into power, with an ultimate goal of a new Islamic Caliphate.  A new court of ‘Sharia.’  As more and more comes out about this, it’s so obvious it’s hidden from view.  ‘You can’t see the forest for the trees.’  Don’t take my word for it, research it.  Start here.  There is so much on this, it’s hard to list all facts.  There is a new purging of Christians throughout the middle east, a violent purging.  The purging here in the west is more subtle, they are doing it from within.  ‘Top down and bottom up.’  It’s been said many times that America would fall from within, and it has.  I don’t have time to site all evidence of this, but it is on going.  From purging the military, from taking freedom of religion and freedom of speech, to changing our laws, history and even the meaning of words.  ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.’ 

During the takeover of Hitler, there were so many red flags, so much evidence like today, so many headlines that should have warned people, but they chose to ignore it, and follow the man who claimed to be the savior of Germany and the world.  Deitrich Bonhoeffer tried to warn, and he was executed.  I wonder what he would say if he was here today.  Would he say History is about to repeat itself?  He would most likely be screaming it along with the rest of those who dare to speak out.  There have been recent watchmen who have pointed out the Atheists, communists, socialists, islamists, and Satanists would come together to fight and purge the world of God, Christians, Jews, for their new eutopian new world order.  A life without religion, without God, then every thing will be just fine.  Have you really looked at the mural at the Denver International Airport?  This clearly show’s this.

This dream of theirs is as old as the hills.  Hitler grabbed onto it and tried to create a new race, one that would last and rule forever.  He sought the occult, he sought religious relics that he thought would give him power.  Just like Constantine, and his vision.  Remember he dreamed that if he used the cross he would win the world?  Boy did he misunderstand that dream, unless of course it came from Satan.  Remember satan can disguise himself as an angel of light.  If Constantine had truly understood the meaning of the Cross, things would be vastly different.  But perhaps God used him as he did Cyrus, Darius, Nebudchenezzer and others.  To bring about his purpose. But you see how the Pagan rituals of Rome were incorporated into Christian practices.  Because the scholars of the day wouldn’t go against the emperor and his interpretations and dreams.  This period gave us the Bible but satan was allowed to mingle pagan rituals with traditions to disguise and confuse.   The search for the Ark of the Covenant is ongoing, you see if we could just have that we could have the power of God.  Hello!  The power of God resides in each of us.  The Holy Spirit was given to us to guide us to this power, to the Father.  Galatians 4:6   Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”  This is not a secret that needs to be unveiled.  This is the gift given to us by the Father.  Jesus came to bring us into this fold.  ‘I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me.’   John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.  So why do we as Christians not understand this?  I can understand why the lost don’t understand this, but the Body of Christ should know full well what this means.

So instead of reading God’s words, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you into truth through the Father, we flock to men to interpret this for us.  There is no need for men.  That was why Jesus died, to bring this free gift to us.  Those who truly seek Him with all their hearts find Him.  Jeremiah 29:13  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

So Brother’s and Sister’s let’s stop worrying about what people will think of us if we speak out against injustice, against persecution, against a ruler taking away our liberty.  And think about what God will say to us on judgment day when he asks us why we remained silent.  And He say’s ‘Away from me, I never knew you.’

2Corinthians 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

So before you attack the messenger bringing truth to light,  about persecution, about misconceptions, or just plain warnings of following erroneous teachings, maybe you should ask for guidance from the Holy Spirit.  It’s not easy being a watchman, it’s not fun, I’m not saying every Christian is called to be a watchman, we are commanded to watch though, but as Paul points out 1Corinthians 12:12 For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.  For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.…

So unite, unite in prayer, unite in spirit, and come together for Christ.  Our prayers do matter, they go to the throne!

Revelation 8:3-5  ( If this were a map, it would have an arrow pointing to this verse that say’s You Are Here.)

Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
