So, What Is The Lord Saying Or Doing? (12/6/2008)

It is my belief that we Christians depend too much on what an individual pastor or an individual prophet or another anointed person thinks that he (or she) is hearing from the Lord, rather than trying to hear for ourselves or listening to many different voices from all over the Body of Christ. Dependence on just an anointed few is a guaranteed recipe for failure.

So, each day, I invite you to write what you believe the Lord is telling you, showing you, or doing for you. Testimonies. Short teachings. Prophetic words. Scriptures. Prayers. Whatever you believe that the Body of Christ needs to know or will be blessed by hearing. Try to keep your words under 250 words. And if you need to, attach a link to your site for longer messages.

Islamic Terrorists Vs. Radical Christians: New Game. New Rules. (Part 3)

Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant, football coach of the University of Alabama, said, “It’s not the will to win that matters – everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”

The days of unskilled shoe bombers are over. Instead, America can expect to see Mumbai-type terrorists. Radical. Dedicated. Trained. Armed. Willing to die. Filled with hate. Hoping to kill large numbers of innocent men, women, and children before they exhale their last breath.

These terrorists want to win. They are prepared.

To counter these radical terrorists, America needs radical Christians who are dedicated, trained, armed, filled with love, willing to die for their family and neighbors, and hoping to be life-giving witnesses to terrorists and others until they die.

I wish I could say that all of us Christians are prepared and ready to go. Or even a quarter of us. But the truth is that most (99%) of us are not dedicated. Not trained. Not armed (with spiritual weapons). We are bogged down with the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things (Mark 4:19).

But guess what? The radical terrorists will pay no heed to our excuses. They will kill you, me, our spouses, our children, our grandchildren, our neighbors, and whosoever, if we are not prepared.

So, we need to make up our minds now.

Because when the terrorist attacks hit us, our president, our governors, our mayors, our city council members, our police, and the national guard will not be able to help us. They will be too late. Only the DMORT teams will arrive on time to stuff us and our loved ones into body bags.

How do you defend a city or a nation against dedicated, radical terrorists like Kasav?

To be honest, there is no way to stop dedicated, radical terrorists from entering America and duplicating a Mumbai incident, especially if they have been trained. America’s strength is that we are an open society. Sadly, this is also our weakness in fighting terrorism. And if you couple our openness with a national “It won’t happen to us” attitude, we’re sitting ducks, just waiting to be plucked.

So, let’s say that you’re staying with your family at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel (where the movie,Pretty Woman, was filmed), just off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. Terrorists arrive and begin shooting their AK-47’s and exploding grenades, killing and maiming everyone they see. Confusion and havoc reigns.

Somehow you’re able to barricade yourself and your family in a first floor cafe. You hear the terrorists walking your direction. Who can you expect to help you?

Will the president help you? He’ll make a statement on TV, deploring terrorism, and will probably add, “Most Muslims are good people. These are just a few bad eggs!” After all, he needs the Muslim vote in the next election and doesn’t want to offend CAIR.

Will the governor help you? This is California, not Texas; so, the Governor will first take a quick telephone poll to discover what the people think. You know, he’s running for senator and the election will be a close one. He also will appear on TV, deplore terrorism, announce that he is considering all options, even calling out the National Guard, and will take a helicopter to the scene.

Will the mayor and city council help you? These guys will be relegated to low-level radio interviews. And of course, they will deplore terrorism, yada, yada, yada.

What about the police? They and their SWAT teams will surround the hotel. Phone calls will be made to the governor, mayor, police chief, and whoever else needs to be contacted about weighing all of the pros and cons before taking action. Valuable time will pass before a decision is made.

What about a DMORT team? This is the one positive that will happen almost immediately. A Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team from Region IX will be dispatched as soon as they hear about the attack. They will bring victim identification equipment, body bags, and storage units for the expected dead people.

So, what can we do?

Islamic Terrorists Vs. Radical Christians: New Game. New Rules. (Part 1)

Azam Amir Kasav

When you look at the 21-year old terrorist, Azam Amir Kasav’s face, what do you see? A good-looking youth who should be at a college, preparing himself for a future career. Maybe having a beer or two with buddies on Fridays nights. Maybe dating a soccer cheerleader on Saturday nights. All in all, just being young and doing what youths do, right?

But the facts are that Kasav trained for months, gobbled steroids to buff up his body, and dedicated his life, along with his dead compatriots, in the hope of killing 5,000 innocent people. 5,000 people. They hoped to kill until their last, dying breaths.

Now, most soldiers are trained and committed to being warriors. If occasions should arise, and combat actions are needed, they will fight. Yet, in the back of their minds, they will desperately want to live. This is a normal reaction by normal men in peril. Thus, most soldiers’ combat actions will be toned down according to a calculated risk/reward ratio on the battle field.

Not so these terrorists. They are committed to killing and dying! No risk is too severe or too challenging for them.

How do you defend a city or a nation against dedicated, radical terrorists like Kasav?

Hmm! Maybe, you don’t really want to think about Mumbai-type terrorist attacks happening in your neighborhood. After all, nothing has happened since 911. Why stir up fears and anxiety, right?

Terrorism Against America: New Game. New Rules.

Whether you like President George Bush or not, the facts are that we Americans have not suffered any terrorist attacks on our nation for seven years and three months. Or since September 11, 2001. It is not that Al Qaeda has forgotten us; they certainly have not. It is just that their plans have been exposed over and over again.

Bush critics argue that the president has had nothing to do with these successes. Instead, they applaud the FBI. Or the CIA. Or Police Departments. Or Airport Security. Or the Democratic-controlled Senate and House. Or Barbara Streisand and Oprah Winfrey. Anybody, but not President George Bush.

But the truth is that the Lord has placed a special anointing on President George Bush to keep terrorist attacks away from America during his presidency after 911. Why? Just like King Josiah, the Lord saw a humility in President Bush’s heart and a desire to serve Him; and also, the Lord wanted His fullness of time to be completed in our nation before a new season began in America.

So, on January 20, 2009, the Bush presidency ends; the Obama presidency begins. The special anointing will depart with President Bush. The lifting of the special anointing has nothing to do with Barack Obama, his policies, or the Democratic Party. It is the beginning of a new season in America.

So now, America has to learn a new game with new rules when it comes to terrorism. Let’s pray that we are quick learners.
