Know Your Enemy!

M. I saacs
W ho is it that is trying, N AY,
changing the values o f America? W ho
is it that says that hom osexual behav­
ior is a lifestyle? Psalm 119:1 Blessed
are the undefiled in the way, who
w alk in the law o f the Lord. W ho is it
that says that choosing to have a baby
out o f w edlock is a lifestyle? W ho is
it that says living together, w ithout
the sanction o fm arriag e is a right and
righteous w ay o f living?
D euteronom y 29:29, The secret
things belong unto the Lord our G od;
but those things w hich are revealed
belong unto us and to our children
forever, that we may do all the W ords
o f this (the) law. O n w hat grounds or
basis are these values given sanc­
tion? W ho is it that has decided that
prayer in public places, in education­
al settings are forbidden? W ho is it
that decides that the Bible m ust not
be taught to our children in schools
that belong to the people, supported
by the people; that are o f the people
and for the people? Why and when
did the m ajority o f the people cease
to ask: W ho is this that dares to tell
A m e ric a n s th a t th e v a lu e s and
lifestyles w hich are our foundation,
are no longer v ia b le -a re w rong and
need, N A Y , m ust be changed? P rov­
erb 10:25, T he righteous is an ev er­
lasting foundation.
W ho is this that dares to rem ove
our lim its on personal, national and
global behavior? W ho is this that has
dared to attack our foundations o f
truth, o f absolutes?
W ho is this that steals our chil­
d ren 's m inds, usurping our authority
and training by saturating them with
“strange” ideas, totally foreign to the
foundation o f fam ilies in A m erica?
Are we so foolish, as to hold our
tongues, and allow our m ost pre­
cious possessions, (our children), to
be led like cattle to the slaughter?
A re we so blind that we cannot
see and recognize the snake in our
bosom ? T he poison invades our so­
ciety and we foolishly refuse to use
the antidote w hich is readily avail­
able to us. 1 Tim othy 4:16: pay close
attention to yourself and to your teach­
ing; persevere in these things; for as
you do this you will insure salvation
both o f y o u rself and for those who
hear you. W ho is it that says that we
have a choice to slay a child in the
w om b? A re we so insane as to d e­
stroy generations o f people, yet ex­
pect this w orld to continue as before?
The enem ies o f A m erica are re­
jo icin g ;g leefu lly anticipating the fall
from pow er o f the righteous men and
wom en, w h o ’s w isdom sustains and
bu i Ids future generations o f righteous
and w ise men and w om en. We go
like sheep to the slaughter, w hile our
enem y spew s poisons o f hate, calling
it their right and their due.
Psalm 138:7: though I am sur­
rounded by trouble, you will bring
me safely through them. You will
clench your fist against my angry
enem ies! Y our pow er will save me.
W hen will we aw aken and see our
enem y as he is; devoid o f love, full o f
hate; full o f corruption; devious and
sly, bent on selfish fulfillm ents o f
obscene lusts?
Isaiah 65:24: It shall all com e to
pass, that before they call I will an­
swer and w hile they are yet speaking,
I will hear AW A K E, ye righteous
people o f America! Know your ene­
my and treat him as an enemy. Re­
claim your children.
Boldly attackall that would harm
your family Set your limits and re­
establish your values. Eph. 6:13: So
use every piece o f G o d ’s arm or to
resist the enemy w henever he at­
tacks, and when it is over, you will
still be standing up. Arise, ye men,
who are men; put on the arm or o f
G od; identify your enem ies and take
back A m erica from its enem ies, us­
ing that w eapon on which this nation
is based— THE W O RD OF GOD.
M atthew 8:19: Again I say unto you,
that iftw o o fy o u shall agree on earth
as touching anything that ye shall
ask. it shall be done for them o f my
Father, which is in heaven.
