There are only two
kingdoms in the world as defined in the Bible - the Kingdom of God
(light) and the kingdom of Satan (the Devil, darkness). It is assumed
by its very nature that light displaces darkness but it seems today
the darkness is displacing the light.
In developing leaders
for the 21st century we need strategists and prophetic
minds to take the kingdom of God to the nations.
Jesus came in love, compassion and
forgiveness to set nations and individuals free. The kingdom of Satan
is about bringing destruction and oppression to nations and mankind.
The church, the
people of God, is the light and salt in the earth for all to see. We
serve God administering His grace and reconciliation to the nations.
We cannot sit back in the safety of our churches and pews when the
world so desperately needs God’s kingdom and hope something happens.
God has delegated governmental authority in the earth to reconcile and
disciple the nations of the world.
How are we going to reverse the
present day trends if we are going to advance the gospel of the
kingdom to the nations?
MOSES
When Moses finally
reached the Promised Land, he sent spies into the land to assess
certain aspects of the people and the land. The question I have is why
did he do that?
The land was promised, God gave the
land to them yet they didn’t want to go in blind. He gave specific
instructions (Num 13&14).
·What is the land like?
·Are the people weak or
strong?
·How many people are there?
·Is the land good or bad?
·Are the cities in which they
live fortified or open?
·Is the land fat or lean?
·Are there trees?
·And test the fruit?
It is interesting that they
assessed the situation which included the land, their industries, the
people and how they are living, the condition of their marketplace and
the quality of their fruit. According to the Bible, when they returned
they gave a bad report. They were concerned that there was too much
for them to overcome in order to take the land. They did not take into
account the will of God, their destiny and His strategy or plan for
His people.
God’s chosen people were not seeing
with the eyes of faith and understanding. Their fear of the giants in
the land overcame them. They were thinking how they were going to save
themselves against these giants. Their fear and self-imposed
limitations kept them in the wilderness until they all perished. It
took forty years for a new generation to rise up that would trust God.
To change the trends
in the world today, we must understand our objectives and become
strategic in our thinking.
The objectives are to
go and make disciples of all nations teaching them how to live.
Our strategies
involve understanding what we are up against and how we are going to
infiltrate and conquer the enemies in our lands.
The spies reported
back to Moses that there were giants in the land and the people
preferred the wilderness over the promises. A new generation had to
emerge to take the promises and take the land. We have the same
choices today. There are giants in the land but are we going to
believe God and take the nations or wander another generation in the
wilderness?
The giants in the
world today are centered in three basic belief systems totally opposed
the Christ and His kingdom. These belief systems are in control of the
governments of the world. Part of the ICL goal is to help our leaders
understand the giants so we can implement God’s strategies to destroy
the giants and advancing the kingdom of God to the nations.
SECULAR HUMANISM – SECULAR
PROGRESSIVES
In 1933, the Humanists
drafted a declaration of war on the church and Jesus Christ.
Rewritten in 1973, the document itself is just a document. The
significance is seen in who signed these documents. Over one third of
the signers were university professors who had a strategy to remove
God from our society.
Over 90 percent of professors in
higher education are secular progressives espousing their humanistic
doctrines with authority and conviction to young men and women.
Teachers throughout our public education system and private schools
have been influenced by our liberal arts colleges now for three
generations. They have infiltrated and taken over, for all practical
purposes, the judicial system and our political systems. They had an
objective. They assessed the people and the land. They analyzed the
situation. Their strategy was to take over the education system
knowing if they can get the minds of our children, they will have them
as adults.
They have executed their plan to
perfection. They have set the prevailing belief system in America,
Europe and the United Kingdom. The roots of Global Warming doctrines
can be found within their document and their strategy. They consider
themselves as elitists believing they are smarter than everyone else
and know what is best for everyone else. Their disdain and ridicule
toward anyone believing different is absurd.
Look at some the statements in the
manifesto and compare them to what is happening in our culture today:
·God is of no benefit to the
human race
·Nature is god, there is no
supernatural
·No God can save man, man must
save himself
·Promises of salvation from
eternal damnation are both illusory and harmful
·Mankind makes up his own
morals (his own truth)
·Reason and intelligence are
superior to faith
·Abortion, euthanasia, suicide
and divorce is the right of every man
·The church should have no say
in the government or institutions in the US
·It is time to put any thought
or faith in God and build a humanistic world
·The earth is our mother
·Wealth must be redistributed
throughout the earth
·Reason and compassion will
produce the kind of world the humanists desire
·The commitment to man
transcends allegiance to church, state, party, class or race
Islam is the 2nd
largest religion in the world and the fastest growing (1.3 to 1.8
billion people). Islam is impacting all governments around the world.
They use intimidation to advance their agenda; an agenda which may be
different from what many would expect.
The Islam agenda is
that every nation submit to Allah and their Sharia law. Islamic law
covers all aspects of life, from matters of state, like governance and
foreign relations, to
issues of daily living.
The Qur'an defines hudud
as the punishments for five specific crimes: unlawful intercourse,
false accusation of unlawful intercourse, consumption of alcohol,
theft, and highway robbery. The Qur'an and Sunnah also contain laws of
inheritance,
marriage, and
restitution for injuries and murder,
as well as rules for
fasting,
charity and
prayer.
However, these
prescriptions and
prohibitions may be
broad, so their application in practice varies.
Islamic scholars have
elaborated systems of law on the basis of these rules and their
interpretations.
They have defined themselves as a
peaceful religion whose culture has brought great value and life to
the world. I would contend that their accomplishments are overrated
and certainly most are fabricated. At the same time, they are to be
commended in their commitment to their agenda.
Their belief system
as replaced Christianity as the prevailing belief system in many
places in the world and they are advancing with tremendous influence
in traditional Judeo Christian societies. Their strategies include
terror, intimidation, peace and procreation to fill the earth with
their influence that every king, president, dictator, chief, and prime
minister to bow down to Islam and Mohammed.
They aim to take over
the world. Check out the link below to understand what they are about.
GLOBAL FASCISM
Fascism is defined as a governmental system led
by a dictator or elitist group having complete power, forcibly
suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry,
commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often
racism. Global fascism is being set in place and being promoted
through the global banking and economic system.
The Federal Reserve and Central Banks around the
world are manipulating who will and who will not be playing in the
rule and reign of the world by the bankers of the world. For example
they are content letting the Lehman Brothers Inc. and Bear Stearns go
down in flames while others like AIG and Citigroup receive billions in
bailout.
For years we have heard about the
New World Order. It is my contention that few Christians really know
what it is all about. The whole conspiracy theories have been
relegated to the strange and kooky. On the other hand, teachers of
eschatology (end time prophecies) maintain that the New World Order
must come in order for Jesus to return.
That could certainly
be debated but it would most likely be a waste of time. Our concern
for the understanding of the New World Order is how it affects our
ability to advance the Kingdom of God to the nations. .
There is no question the strength
and power behind the New World Order is the world banking system. The
spirit behind this system is certainly demonic but it does seem that
they are poised to move into position to take control and power in the
world. The United States has been the major problem for a few hundred
years but now things are lining up for them.
Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin, in 1982 stated:
“I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing
armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the
issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the
banks and corporations that will grow up around (the banks) will
deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up
homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power
should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it
properly belongs.”
With the partnership of the secular
progressives that have removed the influence of Christians and the
Kingdom of God in the United States, they have become embolden with
their agenda. They have ten objectives they are in the process of
implementing to accomplish their agenda:
Taxes – Tax everything possible.
The taxes will go directly to the Federal Reserve and the world
central banking system. The Federal Reserve has used Americans money
to fund the US stimulus packages and the purchase of banks and
businesses around the world. The interest will be paid through taxes.
The New World
Order is using Global Warming and Climate Change to justify the taxes
(carbon tax, cap and trade, energy and anything they choose). This
will directly stop all development of 3rd world nations and
will mean the destruction of millions of people that have no value so
they can own the natural resources and gems in these nations.
Civilian Army –
In several speeches, Obama declared the need for a civilian army
within our borders with the same training and expertise as the
military forces. He is looking to build a federal army directly under
the president’s command. Bush signed into law a bill that allows the
president to take over disbanding the check and balances of the
Legislative branch and the Supreme Court (USAArmy.com). It is the plan
to conscript every American citizen to serve the federal government.
They have planned for every American between the ages of 18 and 24 to
serve a minimum of 3 months in the US civilian army.
FEMA is
constructing camps throughout the United States to impound terrorists
as defined by the government (anyone who opposes the government).
Destruction
of the 2nd Amendment – The present leaders in our
administration from the President on down are committed to disarming
the American people. There are 10 bills before congress to destroy the
right to bear arms. They are screening people and determining who they
want to have guns and those they don’t. They have a no fly list that
is growing at the tune of twenty five thousand people per day to limit
their movement in the United States. Christian conservatives are
mainliners on their lists.
Destruction of free speech – The
present administration wants to shut up anyone speaking against their
agenda. This includes radio, Internet and churches (those who speak
against the travesties of our leaders).
5National Health Care – This is one
of the most diabolical schemes. The government will have all the
health records of every person in the United States. They will
determine who gets treatment and who doesn’t. Anyone who opposes this
regime will suffer. Check out the GM dealerships. Those who did not
support Obama are being shut down without any recourse.
6Expansion of the Department of
Defense in the world – The US Department of Defense under the command
of Obama will be sent to critical places of the world to limit and/or
destroy anyone getting in their way. There are already deployment
plans for American troops into Africa and the Middle East. Obama is
making friends with dictators because they are easiest to bring into
the fold.
Federal
Control over food supplies -
Unionize
Canada, Mexico and the United States under one currency and trade.
Control
of the American President – The last president to oppose the Federal
Reserve and who threatened to take away their power was Kennedy. He
was assassinated among several others. The banking conglomerates have
placed their man in the presidency since Carter - Bush senior was the
replacement for Reagan who moved us toward bigger government; Clinton
was the answer to Bush, George W. was the answer to Clinton who grew
the government immensely. Now Obama is the answer for Bush but all
have been under the control of the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. In
eight years there will be another to replace the blunders and
destruction of Obama.
1Enactment of Globalist policies to
the detriment of the American People – Americans will suffer the
global policies of this administration that will be driven by the
bankers moving us toward a New World Order. These policies will be a
detriment to Americans not a help.
If it seems like
these observations are out in left field, please watch and listen to
the Obama Deception:
I do not like
conspiracy theories but there are forces at work to the detriment of
people. The question is what is our response to these belief systems
as the people of God’s Kingdom?
It is my
contention that if we are going to fulfill our mission and mandate in
the earth, it is vital we understand the giants in the land and what
God’s plan and strategy is to bring His Kingdom to the nations.
The purpose of
ICL is to prepare a new generation of leaders to rise above the
challenges of the 21st century in light of our call to see
the gospel of the Kingdom preached in all the earth and usher the
return of our Lord Jesus.
