GOD’S EDITORIALS

 

THIS WEEK WILL BE DEVOTED ENTIRELY
TO THE STUDY OF
"THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR"
WHICH IS GOING ON NOT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES
BUT WORLDWIDE

OF RECENT, THE MOVE "THE PATRIOT"
PROVIDES EXCELLENT STUDY OF THIS WAR
LET'S BEGIN:



#204
RELUCTANCE
COUNT THE COST

IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE, THE MAIN CHARACTER,
BENJAMIN MARTIN
DECIDES TO REFRAIN FROM THE BATTLE
BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND THE COLONIES

"I will not fight, and I will not cast a vote that will send
others to fight in my stead.”

AS OF THIS POINT IN TIME
BENJAMIN SEES NO TRUE OBLIGATION
TO BRING THE BRITISH'S TYRANNY ANY CLOSER TO HOME
HE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO BE A FARMER AND
TO FATHER HIS CHILDREN
BUT HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT TO DO NOTHING
DOES NOT STOP THE BRITISH FROM COMING
AND "RAPING" THE LAND

AND IS THAT NOT LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF THESE DAYS?
THE PEOPLE MOSTLY SIT BY AND DO NOTHING
THINKING AND ACTUALLY BELIEVING
THAT EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT OK
AND IF THEY DO NOT STAND

THEN MAYBE THE BATTLE WON'T GET TOO HEATED

BUT GUESS WHAT?
YOUR GOVERNMENT WILL "RAPE" YOU IN THE END
YES, THE PEOPLE WHICH YOU ELECTED TO GOVERN
WILL BE THE VERY ONES THAT CAST OUT TRUE FREEDOM
FROM YOUR MIDST
JUST LAST WEEK THE SUPREME COURT
VOTED TO ALLOW
THE DEATH OF INNOCENT CHILDREN

TELL ME:
IF ANOTHER COUNTRY CAME AND INVADED YOUR LAND
AND RIPPED YOUR BABIES FROM THE WOMB AND KILLED THEM
WOULD YOU THEN BE UPSET
OR IS IT ONLY YOUR RIGHT TO KILL THE BABIES?
IT SHOULDN'T BE ANYONE'S RIGHT TO KILL
YOU SIT BY, PEOPLE, AND WAIT FOR EVERYTHING TO BE OK
IT WON'T BE
YOU WILL SUFFER MUCH LOSS BEFORE YOU REALIZE
THAT YOU ARE BEING DESTROYED
AND THEN IT MAY BE TOO LATE TO FIGHT

JUST AS BENJAMIN BELIEVED
THAT THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT HIS CHILDREN WAS TO DO NOTHING
IT TOOK THE DEATH OF A SON TO BRING HIM TO THE TRUTH

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE YOU STAND UP AND FIGHT
FOR WHAT IS RIGHT?
DEATH WILL COME TO MANY OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
THE SOONER YOU STAND UP AND FIGHT
THE LESS THE LOSS WILL BE
FOR ALL



#205
A FIGHTING SPIRIT
A HERO MADE

ON THE CONTRARY, THE OLDEST SON KNOWS THAT HE MUST
PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE COLONIES WITH HIS OWN LIFE
HE STANDS - OPPOSING HIS FATHER
AND JOINS THE CAUSE
ARE THERE STILL YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WILL STAND
FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
AND JOIN A REVOLUTION OF TRUTH?
THE GOVERNMENT IS STEALING YOUR FREEDOMS - YOUR RIGHTS
TO EVEN DISTINGUISH RIGHT FROM WRONG
THE PRESIDENT LIES
THE TEACHERS CHEAT
THE COURT RULES TO KILL BABIES
AND YET, THE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TAUGHT THAT ALL IS RELATIVE
THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG

IN 1776, THERE WERE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT KNEW RIGHT FROM WRONG
BUT WHAT WERE THEY TAUGHT?
THE BIBLE
THIS COUNTRY HAS TURNED ITSELF AWAY FROM MY LAWS
AND ADOPTED SELF-MADE RULES

THAT DESTROY VALUES AND DESTROY LIVES
AND MANY A YOUNG PERSON DOES NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THERE
ARE ABSOLUTES WRITTEN IN MY WORD

BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
I WILL RAISE UP AN ARMY OF YOUNG PEOPLE
THAT WILL RETURN TO THE VALUES AND THE GUIDANCE
OF THE REVOLUTIONARIES OF 1776
THEY WILL SURELY LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES,
EVEN THEIR CHURCHES
AND STAND FOR ABSOLUTE TRUTH

HEROES, THEY WILL BE
AND PERHAPS, SOME WILL EVEN AROUSE A FEW
OF THE OLDER GENERATION TO TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

STAND BACK AND LET THESE KIDS FIGHT THE ILLS OF THIS WORLD
THEY WILL WILLINGLY LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES
TIME AND TIME AGAIN

HAVE YOU BECOME SO COMFORTABLE
THAT TRUTH IS TOO COSTLY?


RISE UP, KIDS!
I WILL BE YOUR COMMANDING OFFICER
WE WILL FIGHT THIS WAR
EVEN THIS DAY




#206
ONE MAN STANDS - ONE BOY DIES

ONE MINUTE HE IS JUST A 15 YEAR OLD BOY
PLAYING WITH TOY SOLDIERS
AND TRYING ON HIS FATHER'S OLD UNIFORM
DREAMING OF THE DAY WHEN HE CAN FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY
THE NEXT, HIS BROTHER IS ORDERED TO BE HANGED
AND HE RUSHES IN TO STOP THE KILLING
WAS HE BRAVE?
INDEED, HE WANTED TO PROTECT
THAT FOR WHICH HE LOVED

IT JUST MAY BE THAT THE PEOPLE OF THIS AGE
SIMPLY DO NOT LOVE ENOUGH AND THAT IS WHY
THEY WILL NOT STAND TO PROTECT

"'This war will be fought, not on the frontier
nor on distant battlefields,
but in our backyards,’ Martin warns.
‘Our children will learn it with their own eyes . . . ’”

THE YOUNG BOY
NEVER MADE IT TO THE BATTLE FRONT
IT CAME TO HIM
AND SO IT IS TRUE IN THIS TIME
THE YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TO GO OFF TO WAR
IN KOREA OR VIETNAM
IT HAS COME TO THEIR SCHOOLS, THEIR STREETS,
THEIR HOMES, WHERE THEY WORK AND PLAY
THEY CANNOT AVOID IT
HOW WILL YOU, THE PARENT, PROTECT THESE YOUNG LIVES
FROM THE WAR IN THEIR MIDST?


MANY A YOUNG PERSON WILL RISE UP IN HEROICS
THAT THE FORMER GENERATION CANNOT EVEN REMEMBER
THEY WILL RISE UP AND THEY WILL FIGHT ON THEIR "TURF"
FOR YOU SEE
THEY ARE TIRED OF NOT HAVING HEROES TO LOOK UP TO
THEY WILL BECOME THE HERO
THAT THEIR FATHER OR MOTHER SHOULD HAVE BEEN
THEY WILL RISE UP AND PROTECT THE INNOCENT
AS THE GOVERNMENT RENDERS LIFE OF NO VALUE
AND PROHIBITS PRAYER

I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
THIS LAST GENERATION IS MINE
AND I WILL MAKE HEROES OF MANY



#207
THE MILITIA - BE READY!

UNTRAINED, UNDISCIPLINED IN THE WAYS OF WAR
AND YET THEY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF THEIR COUNTRY
THEY ROSE TO THE OCCASION AND DEFEATED THE ENEMY
WHEN IT CAME NEAR
THEY PROTECTED EACH OTHER

MANY A PEOPLE COULD BE "MILITIA" IN THIS DAY AND TIME
THE SPIRIT MOVES AND SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN
AND YOU CAN TRULY BE ON THE FRONT-LINE OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN THE WORLD

I WILL SPEAK TO ONE WHO WILL LISTEN AND I WILL TELL THEM
HOW TO PRAY TO BRING FORTH MY WAYS AND MY RULE
SIGN UP NOW
AND BE READY AT ALL TIMES
FOR THESE TIMES DEMAND THOSE WHO WILL BE WILLING
TO LAY EVERYTHING DOWN WHEN THERE IS A CALL TO PRAYER
I AM CALLING EACH ONE OF YOU
WILL YOU BE READY?

IF YOU KNEW AHEAD OF TIME THAT YOU COULD PREVENT
AN INTRUDER FROM COMING INTO YOUR HOME
WOULD YOU?
OF COURSE, YOU WOULD
I WILL TELL YOU OF THE PLANS OF SATAN AND HOW HE INTENDS
TO KILL, MAIM AND DESTROY
AND YOU CAN STOP HIM FROM COMPLETING HIS PLANS
IF YOU WILL PRAY
IT IS THAT SIMPLE

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY THOUGH,
FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE
WHO WOULD BECOME "WATCHMEN" OF THEIR HOMES,
CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, ETC.

I SENT MY SERVANT OUT 6 YEARS AGO
TO BE A "WATCHMAN" FOR A CHURCH
SHE WALKED THE GROUNDS
SHE PRAYED
SHE WROTE AND WARNED THE PEOPLE OF THE INTRUDER
ALREADY IN THEIR MIDST
AND YET, SHE WAS CAST OUT INSTEAD OF THE INTRUDER
SHE CONTINUED TO PRAY AND TO WATCH OVER THE LAND
BUT ONLY THIS WEEK
SHE WAS RELIEVED OF HER DUTIES
FOR THE PEOPLE PROVED THAT THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN
WOULD NOT PAY HEED TO THE WARNINGS
AND SO THE INTRUDER STANDS WITHIN THE BUILDING
BUT WILL NOW INVITE 99 MORE TO JOIN IN
AND THE PLACE WILL NOT HAVE A PRAYER
FOR YOU SEE
I SENT MY SERVANT TO WARN THE PEOPLE I LOVE
AND THEY RECEIVED NOT THE WARNING

see Parable of the Kingdom

WHY, NOW, WOULD I ANSWER THEIR PRAYERS
WHEN I ALREADY SENT THE SOLUTION?

PRAY, BUT KNOW THAT PEOPLE STILL MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES
IF YOU ARE PRAYING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO CHANGE THEIR WAYS
YOU MAY PRAY, BUT THE PERSON STILL MUST CHOOSE
KEEP PRAYING FOR MY PERFECT WILL IN THEIR LIFE

MY SERVANT NO LONGER WARNS THE CHURCH
NO LONGER WRITES
NO LONGER TELLS THEM OF THE FUTURE
BUT SHE DOES PRAY FOR MY PERFECT WILL FOR THEM
AND THAT WILL STILL COME
BUT AT A SUPREME COST

BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN WHEN I SPOKE
AND NOW WHEN THEY SEEK ME
I WILL NOT BE THERE FOR THEM
UNTIL THEIR REPENTANCE IS FULL


I CALL YOU TO PRAY
I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO PRAY
BE THE "MILITIA" OF THIS AGE AND PRAY
AND YOU WILL SURELY SEE MIRACLES IN YOUR MIDST



#208
WHAT IS FAIR?
THE ENEMY IS NOT!

WHAT IS FAIR IN WAR?
MANY A SAINT HOLDS BACK AND DOES NOT EXTEND
THE FULL PUNISHMENT
THAT SIN DESERVES FOR THEY HOPE FOR A CHANGE
BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
SATAN AND HIS ARMY WILL BE AS BRUTAL
AS THE BRITISH WERE IN THE MOVIE
HE WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO WIPE OUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
HE HAS NO COMPASSION - KNOWS NO MERCY
ALL HE KNOWS IS DESTRUCTION
AND HE WILL HAVE FREE REIGN IF YOU SIT ON YOUR EARTHLY PEWS
AND DO NOTHING

YOU ATTEND CHURCH AND CARRY YOUR PRECIOUS BIBLE WITH YOU
FOR IT LOOKS GOOD WITH YOUR SUIT OR CASUAL ATTIRE
BUT IT IS NOT JUST A BOOK OR AN ACCESSORY
IT IS A SWORD
ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT OR ALLOW IT TO BECOME TARNISHED?
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FIGHT THE ENEMY OF YOUR SOUL?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DEMONS ARE UPON YOU RIGHT NOW?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT SATAN HAS PLANNED AGAINST YOU?

I DO NOT FIGHT YOUR BATTLES
I GAVE YOU THE INSTRUCTIONS
YOU HAVE THE SWORD
IT IS ALL UP TO YOU

WILL IT TAKE A MAJOR ONSLAUGHT
OF SATAN AGAINST THE "CHRISTIANS"
OF THIS WORLD TO MAKE THEM TRULY STAND
IN TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS?
WHAT IS FAIR IN WAR?
IS IT FAIR
FOR CHRISTIANS TO BE JAILED AND TORTURED?
NO, BUT IT HAPPENS
IS IT FAIR
FOR CHRISTIANS TO BE KILLED FOR THEIR FAITH?
NO, BUT IT HAPPENS
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
HAVE YOU PRAYED FOR THESE PEOPLE TO BE RELEASED?
HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT THEIR IMPRISONMENT?
WILL YOU STAND WHEN YOUR CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR IS TAKEN AWAY?
WHEN WILL YOU STAND?

"Your brutality has swelled the ranks.”

THIS LINE WAS SPOKEN TO A BRITISH COMMANDER FOR HE HAD DONE
BRUTAL ACTS WHICH CAUSED THE MILITIA TO INCREASE
IN NUMBER AND RISE UP IN STRENGTH

THAT IS WHY SATAN PLAYS IT SAFE
HE DOES WHAT HE WILL KNOWING HOW LITTLE CHRISTIANS
WILL DO TO COMBAT HIM UNLESS HE FIGHTS WITH PASSION
BUT KNOW THIS
THESE ARE THE END-TIMES AND HE WILL BECOME MORE BRUTAL
AND MORE PASSIONATE IN HIS ATTEMPTS
TO WIPE OUT THE CHRISTIANS
AND FINALLY MY PEOPLE WILL RISE UP
BUT WILL IT BE TOO LATE?
MANY COULD HAVE BEEN SPARED
BUT YOU ARE LULLED TO SLEEP IN YOUR COMFORTABLE PEWS
LISTENING TO SWEET-TALKING SERMONS
OF BEING NICE TO YOUR NEIGHBORS

THE HOLOCAUST IS COMING SOON
SATAN SURELY WILL NOT PLAY FAIR
ARE YOU READY?




#209
THE COMPLETE STORY
BRING IN THE "FRENCH"

THE COMPLETE STORY
IS THAT THE MILITIA DID WHAT THEY COULD DO
BUT IT WAS THE WORK OF THE CONTINENTAL ARMY
AND THE AID OF THE FRENCH
THAT BROUGHT THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
TO ITS VICTORIOUS END

AND SO I HAVE SPOKEN OF THE MILITIA
THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO I ASK TO PRAY AND
DO MY WORK WHERE THEY LIVE
BUT THERE IS ALSO THE ARMY THAT I AM FORMING
THAT I WILL SEND WORLD-WIDE AND THEY WILL SURELY
BE TRAINED IN THE TACTICS OF WAR
THEY WILL HEAR ME CLEARLY AND OBEY ME PROMPTLY
EVERYDAY THEIR LIVES WILL BE THREATENED
BUT THEY WILL LIVE ON AS THEY OBEY

THE FRENCH - YES, WHO ARE THE FRENCH IN THIS ANALOGY?

"AND I WILL SEND YOU HELP FROM ZION"

THE "FOREIGNERS" WILL TRULY JOIN WITH YOU IN FORCE
YOU KNOW NOT THE TRUE EXTENSION OF THIS PLAN, YET
BUT I SPEAK IT TO YOU TO EXPAND YOUR THINKING
AND ALLOW YOUR SPIRIT TO JUMP IN CONFIRMATION

MANY WILL TRULY RETURN FROM THE GRAVE TO JOIN FORCES
Editorial #140
ALONG WITH THE SAINTS WHICH HELP IN WAYS WHICH
YOU CANNOT TRULY FATHOM YET

YOU'RE IN FOR SOME GREAT SURPRISES
THE "FRENCH" - OH YES, THE "FRENCH"
FOR YOU SEE THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FREEDOM FIGHTERS
READ THE OLD TESTAMENT
WHEN HEROES WERE PEOPLE
WHO SIMPLY LISTENED TO ME AND OBEYED

GREAT TIMES AHEAD!
JOIN THE RANKS TODAY, MY FRIENDS
IT IS A WAR OF REVOLUTION
YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM
AND TRUTH
WILL WIN IN THE END



#210
THE MAN - THE HERO PORTRAYED

DEAR MEL GIBSON -
CAN YOU COUNT THE NUMBER OF HEROES THAT YOU HAVE PLAYED?
CAN YOU BELIEVE THE CASTING WHICH FINDS YOU READY
TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN TO BRING FORTH THE HERO OF THE STORY?
IS THAT AS FAR AS IT GOES?
YOU HOPE NOT . . .

"He did his best to do his best,” Gibson says (in reference to a helicopter
pilot who he sees as a hero). “Those kinds of guys, it’s almost like they’re from another era, kind of like a knight, you know? I hope those guys are
still around. I hope I could be one of those guys if I had to be.”
George magazine

YOU WILL BE!
THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN THE MAN
NOT JUST THE ACTOR, WILL RISE UP FOR A VERY IMPORTANT CAUSE
NOT A SIMPLE CAUSE - NOT A SHORT CAUSE
BUT ONE FOR WHICH WILL TRULY CHANGE
THE COURSE OF THIS WORLD
FOR THE BETTER
JUST LIKE BENJAMIN MARTIN, YOU HAVE A FAMILY TO RAISE
BUT YOU ALSO KNOW THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING FORTH A PLACE
TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN WHERE THEY CAN TRULY LIVE
IN FREEDOM, PEACE AND SAFETY
I WILL BEGIN TO SPEAK TO YOU OF MY PLANS IN DREAMS
IN THE COMING YEARS
AND I WILL SET UP MY PLAN FOR YOU AS
A THREE PART PLAY
YOU WILL KNOW YOUR PART VERY, VERY WELL
WHEN IT IS TIME TO PLAY IT

YOU DESIRE TO BE A HERO?
TIME WILL SHOW THE MAN BEHIND THE ACTOR
AND THE WORLD WILL EASILY SAY
"I KNEW HE HAD IT IN HIM.
ONLY MEL COULD HAVE PLAYED THIS PART IN HISTORY"

JUST AS IN EACH OF YOUR HEROIC FEATURES
PEOPLE COMMENT THAT ONLY YOU COULD HAVE PLAYED THE PART
TO ITS PERFECTION
AND THE SAME WILL BE SAID FOR THE PART
THAT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU FOR

STAY CLOSE TO ME
LEARN TO LISTEN TO ME
AND THE DREAMS WILL BEGIN WHEN IT IS TIME

A HERO YOU HAVE BEEN
A HERO YOU WILL BE AGAIN
BUT ONE FOR WHICH THE WORLD WILL NOT WATCH ON THE SCREEN
BUT IN THEIR LIVES
AND IN THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN
AND GRANDCHILDREN

HEROES ARE SIMPLY PEOPLE
WHO PAY THE PRICE FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE



 A HEROIC RIDDLE, PERHAPS, IS IN ORDER:

THERE CAME A MAN TO A STRANGE CITY.
 HE KNEW NOT A PERSON, BUT HE KNEW THAT THERE WAS
MUCH WORK TO DO IN THIS PLACE.
HE LOOKED ABOUT AND SAW THE ANGUISH OF THE PEOPLE,
THE POVERTY, THE HOPELESSNESS.
 BUT WHAT COULD ONE MAN DO?
 UPON HIS KNEES, HE DID GO AND ONE MONTH LATER THE PLAN
BEGAN TO PLAY OUT BEFORE HIS VERY EYES.
 HE WORKED HARD AND CHANGED THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
 HE BROUGHT FORTH LIFE AND HOPE AND FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE
TO BE CONFIDENT WORKERS.
 THE MAN STRUGGLED EACH DAY WITH THE PROBLEMS
WHICH STILL REMAINED,
BUT ONE DAY ANOTHER MAN CAME TO THE CITY
AND OFFERED HIS HELP.
 UPON HIS KNEES HE DID GO AND ASKED GOD FOR THE COURAGE
TO RIGHT ALL THE WRONGS IN THE CITY.
 WHAT HE DISCOVERED, THOUGH, WAS NOT WHAT HE EVER IMAGINED.
 HE RESEARCHED THE FIRST MAN AND FOUND OUT
THAT HE HAD ONCE BEEN A CONVICT
AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON HIS PASSION
WAS TO REMOVE THE FIRST MAN FROM HIS DUTIES.
 HE NO LONGER SAW THE GOOD THAT THE MAN HAD DONE
HE ONLY SAW HIS PAST AND HE WOULD DESTROY THE MAN
IF IT TOOK EVERYTHING HE HAD . . .

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF GOOD
TWO KINDS OF HEROES
THERE IS A GOOD THAT COMES FROM THE HEART
TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR ALL.
 IT IS A GOOD THAT IS FROM LOVE DEEP WITHIN.

THERE IS ANOTHER KIND OF GOOD
THAT APPEARS GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE
BUT IT SEEKS TO JUDGE AND CONDEMN
THOSE WHO ARE NOT PERFECT.
THIS GOOD IS FOUND IN THE CHURCHES SO MANY.
 IT IS A GOOD THAT LOOKS GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE
FOR THEY APPEAR TO DO NO WRONG.
THEY EVEN CALL UPON ME TO HELP THEM BE GOOD,
BUT THEIR GOOD IS NOT FROM A HEART OF LOVE,
BUT ONE OF SELF-GRATIFICATION
AND THE SEEKING OF PRAISE FOR THEMSELVES.
 YOU KNOW THIS KIND OF GOOD VERY, VERY WELL.
 
THIS KIND OF GOOD IS NOT OF ME
IT IS OF SATAN
AND IT WILL SURELY TRY TO SLAY THE ONES
THAT ARE TRULY OF ME
AND TRULY DOING GOOD OUT OF LOVE.
GOOD CAN BE VERY, VERY BAD WHEN THERE IS NO LOVE
DON'T JUST LOOK AT THE "FRUIT" - THE ACTIONS OF A PERSON
ASK TO KNOW THEIR MOTIVATIONS
IS THEIR MOTIVATION LOVE
OR DO THEY DO GOOD TO PROMOTE THEMSELVES?


HEROES I WILL MAKE
HEROES WITH A HEART OF LOVE
HEROES FOR THIS NEW GENERATION
HEROES WRITTEN DOWN FOR ALL TO READ
NOT THE "HERO" THAT DESTROYS ANOTHER TO RISE UP
BUT HEROES WHO DO THEIR BEST
SIMPLY TO LOVE AND PROTECT
