Point of View

 

Issues Facing 21st Century Leaders

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

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.
