Rise of Totalitarianism

July 20, 2022 • Cogresswoman Michele Bachmann

This is not a new occurrence, but is throughout history.

What is new is the rapid rise in nation after nation, of global authoritarianism (including in formerly free western nations).

The nations are shocked at what is happening in the United States, with the limitations on health care, travel, owning property, conducting financial affairs, speech, social media, etc. The nations are telling us to fight, because our freedom impacts all nations.

If the United States falls (and it will NOT as we and our God fight) the other nations find it even more difficult to stand.

The rewriting of the narrative in the United States is oppressive and unlike anything we have ever seen before.

Sri Lanka's environmental policy is what destroyed them and caused the people to respond.

Canada is another example. The government seized truckers' property because of their speech, assemblies, and protests. Farmers in the Netherlands had their resources cut because of the radical green agenda, and it is destroying the food sources as well as the lives of farmers.

The Biden administration gave amendments to the World Health Organization (WHO), and those amendments would surrender our sovereignty.

Covid was a global reset to take away our Constitutional rights. Americans were fairly compliant because we thought it was temporary and we were largely deceived by the media.

We defeated the prior attempt, but now Biden continues to cede our sovereignty.

There is another international threat created by Biden.

In Afghanistan, we gave $84 billion of an army (larger than the entire military of Australia) to islamic terrorists. This was intentional and was NOT due to incompetence.

Pakistan has nukes and is weakened financially. If Islamic terrorists take over Pakistan with our American weapons we left in Afghanistan, then we have a major problem. Again, this situation was created intentionally and Biden, and those directing him, are responsible.

Gaffney: If you reflect on all Biden’s policies, without exception they are two things in common:

1. They are bad for America;

2. A they are good for the Chinese Communist Party (“CCP”).

The above facts are not coincidental nor due to incompetence, but intentional policy. One of our greatest challenges is that we refuse to see that we are at war with the CCP.

State of the Church

July 20, 2022 • Jim Garlow • Psalm 33:12

“Blessed is the Nation Whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm 33:12) To the extent a nation follows God’s Biblical Principles, we reduce human suffering. To the extent we defy God’s Biblical Principles, we increase human suffering. Therefore, a government that seeks to bless the people of the Nation will always apply Biblical Principles. This does not violate the Constitution because the Constitution only bars government establishments of religion (e.g., a requirement that citizens must be a member of a certain religion.) ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1piacalbeiyja4rxdatsvxqpjzbb3kclm/view?usp=sharing

Sharing Your Faith in a Hostile Culture

July 20, 2022 • Barry Meguiar • Isaiah 43:10, James 1:6, Romans 8:28

In 1960, 70% of our population went to church. In 2020, it was 20%. Biblical worldview: Only 50% of pastors believe itOnly 20% of churchgoers believe it The people in our Nation are mainly blind. They don’t see the evil. 90% are lost. Therefore, they are blind. We have the hope! 70% of Americans are living in fear. The number is higher among Christians. Really? Why? It should not be when we live in faith. We should trust the Lord with our whole hearts. James 1:6 applies when we don’t do this because we are double-minded; we want to have faith, yet we give in to fear. This leads to unanswered prayer according to James 1:6. Over 80% of non-christians know a Christian they trust. Therefore, each can change our neighbor and it will change the world. Only 1% of us are sharing our faith. 90% are lost. 10% know God, and only 1% of 10% (0.1%) are sharing our faith. This is unbiblical disobedience to God. It is also selfish because we deprive the lost of the only true hope. Live for God’s purpose - Romans 8:28. We are all good, because we live for His purposes and He is good! How do we share our faith? Just love people and then follow the Holy Spirit to know what to say. It is that simple. Isaiah 43:10 - “Thus saith the Lord, I appoint you as My witness … so that you may know that I am God!” The joy of the Lord is our strength!

The Real Case for Marriage

July 20, 2022 • Jim Garlow • Genesis 1:27, Genesis 1:27–28, Genesis 2:18, Genesis 2:21–23, Genesis 2:24

Marriage was NOT an example from earth that God used to explain the relationship between Christ and the Church. It is the reverse. Marriage is a Heavenly principle that God allows us to understand on earth between a husband and a wife.
