When a nation, any nation, turns its back on God the spoilers are released. The spoilers plunder, pillage, and destroy. Scripture declares a day when God’s people turned their back on Jehovah and served Baal and Ashtaroth (Judges 2:13-14).

Many are familiar with Ashtaroth. Ashtaroth is the goddess of Jezebel. Jezebel’s father was Ethbal. He was king of Phoenicia and the high priest of Ashtaroth. Jezebel is the seducing goddess of war. She is prophetic. She has been loosed within the Church busy hijacking prophetic ministry, turning hearts away from true spiritual fathers unto herself, and making a way for celebrity worship, spiritualism, and idolatrous entertainment. She creates eunuchs. Eunuchs are those that have no spiritual strength of their own. They look for her approval, leadership, and direction. She is their mentor.

Two Georgia men have filed a lawsuit claiming that prominent Atlanta, Georgia, pastor Eddie Long coerced them into sex. The suits, filed Tuesday in DeKalb County, Georgia, allege that Long used his position as a spiritual authority and bishop to coerce young male members and employees of his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church into sex. "Defendant Long has a pattern and practice of singling out a select group of young male church members and using his authority as Bishop over them to ultimately bring them to a point of engaging in a sexual relationship," the suits allege.

Virginia's attorney general, who recently won a preliminary round over the Obama administration in his state's fight over Obamacare, warns if the federal government can order citizens to purchase health insurance, "they can order you to do anything."

Matt Simmons, founder of the Simmons and Co. International, is known as an oil industry expert. He has been described as the definitive source for oil and gas industry expertise. Simmons says the BP cap test is absurd and is deceiving the public. He insist there is another "open hole" leak that is still spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Thomas Jefferson writing to Colonel Smith about civil disturbances in Massachusetts said, “What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?” “Resistance,” the word seems so foreign today. Yet resistance to tyranny and despotism was foundational in the birthing of the Republic. The founders of our nation believed in the God of perfect liberty. When the spirit of bondage slithered into the Colonies something rose in the hearts of the people. That something was the reformer’s spirit.

 

Many admire Christ’s reformers after they are dead. To my mind this generation has forgotten what it’s like to take a bold stand for Christ amid a morally and politically corrupt world. Even the pulpit is lukewarm refusing to address depravity in the land and rather preaches a watered-down gospel that tickles the sinner’s ear and makes him comfortable in apathetic equanimity.

The White House and Capitol Hill are no longer listening to Christian voices. Say goodbye to Billy Graham, James Dobson and other Christian influencers who kept political leaders honest and focused on the God of the Bible. Those days are over, now there's a strange voice and a foreign god leading the nation -- the spirit of Islam.

Our nation's alarm clock is increasingly buzzing louder and louder, yet Americans are still snoozing. A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber (Proverbs 24:33-34).
