  • Muscle and Ministry

      Have you ever seen a bunch of super strong men get up on a stage and do things that seem impossible with nothing but their muscle power, things like bust a bunch of flaming bricks, or a ten foot wall of ice, or even just bend a steel jail bar like a pretzel? Well, if you haven’t it is pretty amazing, and what is even cooler is when they get done with all the hype to hear them give their testimonies and tell people about Jesus Christ, to see hundred or thousands of people give their life to the Lord. I have seen them and they changed my life. If you get a chance you should see them too, and invite all your friends. It is worth it.

  • The History of Revival in the United States

     

    The First Great Awakening (1730′s -1740′s) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Great_Awakening 

    -Began in New England and Spread through the Northeastern parts of the U.S.

    -Started with Jonathan Edwards - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Edwards_%28theologian%29 

    The Revival Sermons of Jonathan Edwards - http://truthinheart.com/EarlyOberlinCD/CD/Edwards/Edwards.html#N_2_

    and John Wesleyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wesley 

    The sermons of John Wesley - http://wesley.nnu.edu/john_wesley/sermons/alph.htm

    -This Great Awakening was a revival that made religion intensely personal to the average person, made them aware of the enormity of their sin and redemption through Jesus Christ, along with introspection and a commitment to a new standard of personal morality.

    -Brought the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the colonial slaves.

    -It is disputed that it may have brought about the American Revolution.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution 

     

    The Second Great Awakening (1800 – 1830′s) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Great_Awakening 

    -Was the Second Great Revival in the United States.

    -Major Leaders Included:

    *Charles Finneyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Grandison_Finney 

    The Sermons of Charles Finney – http://www.charlesgfinney.com/1836SOIS/indexsois.htm

     ”1. When there is a want of brotherly love and Christian confidence among professors of religion, then a revival is needed. Then there is a loud call for God to revive his work. When Christians have sunk down into a low and backslidden state, they neither have, nor ought to have, nor is there reason to have, the same love and confidence toward each other, as when they are all alive, and active, and living holy lives… 2. When there are dissensions, and jealousies, and evil speakings among professors of religion, then there is great need of a revival. These things show that Christians have got far from God, and it is time to think earnestly of a revival. Religion cannot prosper with such things in the church, and nothing can put an end to them like a revival. 3. When there is a worldly spirit in the church: it is manifest that the church is sunk down into a low and backslidden state, when you see Christians conform to the world in dress, equipage, parties, seeking worldly amusements, reading novels and other books such as the world reads. It shows that they are far from God, and that there is a great need of a Revival of Religion. 4. When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, “What will become of Thy great name?” 5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails. 6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion. 7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.” -Charles Finney- 

    *Lyman Beecherhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman_Beecher 

    *Barton Stonehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_Stone

    *Peter Cartwrighthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cartwright_%28exhorter%29 

    -Unlike the First Great Awakening which focused on the Church this Great Awakening focused on preaching the gospel to the masses and had a hellfire and brimstone message.

    -It introduced a new form of religious expression “The Scottish Camp-meeting” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_meeting

    -Inspired Missionary Societies to Evangelize the North American West.

    -Inspired Christian Education in schools.

    -Started Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Latter Day Saint Movement, and The Seventh Day Adventist church as a result.

    -Involved Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches also.

    -Brought Reformation to Anglicans, Presbyterians, and Congregationalists.

    -Brought about Antebellum Reform http://www.historynow.org/09_2005/historian.html and the abolition of slavery.

    *The third and fourth “Great Awakenings” are disputed. But the first two are not.

    The Third Great Awakening (1850′s – 1900′s) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Great_Awakening 

    -Affected Protestant Denonminations.

    -Had a strong sense of social activism.

    -Started Salvation Army, Nazarene, and Christian Science churches as a result.

    -Brought about many social reforms such as Womens Rights, Prohibition, and Child Labor Laws.

    Billy Sunday Sermon on Booze and Drinking – http://www.billysunday.org/sermons/booze.html 

    Quotes By Billy Sunday:

    -”Hell is the highest reward that the devil can offer you for being a servant of his.”

    -”Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.”

    -”They tell me a revival is only temporary; so is a bath, but it does you good.” -Billy Sunday-

    William Boothhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Booth 

    Quotes of William Booth:

    -”In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be Religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, Forgiveness without Repentance, Salvation without Regeneration, Politics without God, and Heaven without Hell.”

    -”While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight, I’ll fight to the very end!”

    -”“The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender.”

    -”  We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown.”

    -”It is against stupidity in every shape and form that we have to wage our eternal battle. But how can we wonder at the want of sense on the part of those who have had no advantages, when we see such plentiful absence of that commodity on the part of those who have had all the advantages?”

    -”Go straight for souls, and go for the worst.” -William Booth-

    Ira Sankeyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Sankey 

     

    The Fourth Great Awakening (1960′s – 1970′s) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Great_Awakening 

    -This “Awakening” is disputed to whether or not it qualifies as such.

    -It brought about a new emphasis on a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit such as speaking in tongues, healing and prophecy and:
    1. Salvation by faith alone.
    2. Sanctification (or Holiness) of the believer.
    3. Tongues as evidence of Spirit Baptism.
    4. Faith healing as part of God’s redemption.
    5. The “very soon” return of Christ

    -Saw a rise in Non-Traditional, Non-Denominational, and Charismatic Churches as well as Mega Churches.

    -Included the “Azusa Street Revival” also known as the “Pentecostal Movement” or “Charismatic Movement”

    Mark of the Beast? 666 http://www.av1611.org/666.html

     ”And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding reckon the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred and sixty six.” Revelation 13:16-18

     Ok, so I loaded this blog with all the conspiracy theories I thought you could handle in one blog. But don’t just take this lightly. I personally think that there is a lot of truth to the stories. The Illuminati are real, free masons are real, bilderbergers, skull and bones, all of it and they all have secret hidden agendas. Guess what? Our president George W. Bush (who I did vote for) is a member of skull and bones too. Just check out the link and look at the picture. Scary stuff, unless you know Jesus Christ.

     If America disowns its godly heritage, disowns the word of God, and disowns the Lord Jesus Christ, and stops listening to the words of our founding fathers (to stop preferring Godly politicians), we are headed into a world called ”Hell”, without any kind of religious freedom, possibly without any kind of freedom at all, where the secret agenda of Satan himself becomes mainstream.   

     The Whole Armor of God

     ”Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; ”  -Ephesians 6:11-18- 

       The Spirit of Anti-Christ

     ”I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”  -I John 2:14-29-

     

  • “One Nation under God” & “In God we trust” Motto for today or yesterday?

    The pledge of Allegiance:

    I pledge allegiance, to the flag,

    of the United States of America,

    and to the republic, for which it stands,

    One Nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

    Francis Bellamy was a Baptist minister, who wrote the Original Pledge in August 1892. It has been in use in the public arena even though some minor changes have been made here and there since that time. 

      “Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances. One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my heart I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters. To you first I address a subject that must be agitated.” -Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania.-

    “Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins. You will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.” -Secretary Salmon P. Chase said in a letter to James Pollock.-

    “I approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse the motto should begin with the word OUR, so as to read OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY. And on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: IN GOD WE TRUST.”  -Salmon P. Chase-

    *Every Since April 22, 1864 The U.S. Government has been putting the Phrase “In God we trust” and “Our God and our Country” on all of our currency.

  • The “Founding Fathers” and Religion

     The Founding Fathers of the United States:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founding_Fathers_of_the_United_States#Religion 

     There were 56 signers of The Declaration of Independence. There were 48 signers of The Articles of Confederation. All 55 delegates who participated in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, are regarded as The Founding Fathers, in fact, they are often regarded as The Founding Fathers because it is this group that actually debated, drafted and signed the U.S. Constitution, which is the basis for the country’s political and legal system. Of all 56 signers of the Constitution only two (Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin) were considered Deists however, a large majority were active members of their church, and firm believers in the Christian Religion.

     James Madison - 4th President of the United States - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Madison

     
     ”We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future …upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves, according to the Ten Commandments of God.” -James Madison- 
     
      “We hold it for a fundamental and undeniable truth, that religion, or the duty we owe our Creator and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence. The religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate. This right is in its nature an unalienable right.” -James Madison-
     
     Freedom arises from a multiplicity of sects, which pervades America, and is the best and only security for religious liberty in America.” -James Madison-
     
     Alexander Hamilton - General/Lawyer/Politician - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton#_note-74
     
     ”Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have is this. When I have a subject in mind. I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it… the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought.” -Alexander Hamilton- 
     
     ”The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.” -Alexander Hamilton-
     
     ”This is the constitution… Now, mark my words. So long as we are a young and virtuous people, this instrument (The Holy Bible) will bind us together in mutual interests, mutual welfare, and mutual happiness. But when we become old and corrupt, it will bind no longer.” -Alexander Hamilton- 
     
     “Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.” -Alexander Hamilton- 
     
     

  • The truth about our “Founding Fathers”

     The truth about our founding fathers cannot be swept under the carpet, it is true that these men were, however human, Moral, Religious, practicing believers in Christianity that did not believe in any kind of Separation in Church and State. 

    Samuel Adamshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Adams

    “The right of the colonist as Christians…may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Lawgiver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament.”  The Rights of the colonists -Samuel Adams-

    “Let…statesmen and patriots unite their endeavors to renovate the age by…educating their little boys and girls…and leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.” -Samuel Adams-

    “A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy…. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader…. If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security.”  -Samuel Adams-

    “The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” (Convention of the Commonwealth of Mass., 86-87) -Samuel Adams-

    John Hancockhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hancock

     ”In circumstances as dark as these, it becomes us, as Men and Christians, to reflect that whilst every prudent measure should be taken to ward off the impending judgments, …at the same time all confidence must be withheld from the means we use; and reposed only on that God rules in the armies of Heaven, and without His whole blessing, the best human counsels are but foolishness… Resolved; …Thursday the 11th of May…to humble themselves before God under the heavy judgments felt and feared, to confess the sins that have deserved them, to implore the Forgiveness of all our transgressions, and a spirit of repentance and reformation …and a Blessing on the … Union of the American Colonies in Defense of their Rights [for which hitherto we desire to thank Almighty God]…That the people of Great Britain and their rulers may have their eyes opened to discern the things that shall make for the peace of the nation…for the redress of America’s many grievances, the restoration of all her invaded liberties, and their security to the latest generations.” Proclamation of a National Day of Fasting, Humility, and Prayer. Instituted April 15, 1775.

    The National Day of Prayer and Fasting was reinstated By George W. Bush on April 21, 2001- http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/04/20010430-2.html

    Benjamin Franklin - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin

    “In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed…No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.” -Noah Webster-
