"THERE IS AN EVIL UNDER THE SUN"

King Solomon said, "There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:" I want to say, "There is an evil which I have seen in America." Why hasn't President Obama done anything to help his own people? I recently spent a month in New Jersey most of it in Newark and was deeply appalled at the ambiguity I observed while there. Being from out west and living relatively free I went through a period of culture shock. For those of you who don't know, Newark is a hub of Black America. It is a place of a once thriving city and prosperity but the decay and delapidated infrastructure and buildings are a skeleton of a once thriving city. What I saw, was Black men walking the streets, black eyes peering from under hooded sweats, and Black women standing in line in sub freezing weather waiting for hand outs. That in itself was not what bothered me, but it was the relative prosperity that was going on in the Mexican American community. During everal trips to the shopping malls, they were crawling with Mexicans loaded with cash and spending up a storm, and the Black people standing in line on Martin Luther King Bolevard hoping to get a few free Christmas gifts for their kids. Every hotel chain in New Jersey, Marriot, Hilton, Extended Stay America, you name it, has Mexicans working. Every where you go, resturants, gas stations, Walmart, you name it the Mexicans are working. Mexicans operate the service businesses such as carpet cleaning, landscaping, painting and construction. The problem is not that Mexicans are working but it is obvious that these people are not American since most of them don't speak a word of English.This was obvious when I made several attempts to make simple requests that they just could not understand. Now I don't despise Mexicans working or having jobs but I do object when American corporations hire illegal alliens at the expense of American citizens. It is clear to me that Mr. Obama loves the multinational corporations and big banks more than his own people. Obama's supposedly compassion on Mexican Americans was more of a political ploy than reality. The reality is that Obama has opened the borders to cheap Mexican labor at the expense of his own people. The main stream media has put out the propaganda that Mexicans only take jobs that Americans wont do; that is bull_ _ _. I admire Mexicans for their diligence and willingness to work hard, but it is clear to me that the deck has been stacked against Black people. This has created a situation where we are setting on a time bomb. Black America is being set up for an angry uprising. They are a time bomb that a cleverly crafted event could ignite with a fury. Watts, and the Rodney King incident will pale in comparison to what is coming. I hope some of my Black brothers and sisters read this post and realize that this is all a set up. Don't let them do it to you!

WHAT IS GOD'S NAME?

While setting in the barber's chair getting a hair cut the other day I notice the barber had the "Ten Commandments" posted on his wall, the third commandment stated, "You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain." I asked the barber, "What is the name of the Lord God, in the third commandment"? He said, "isn't it yahoo, or something like that?" Laughing I said, "Don't you think we need to know the name of the Lord so we don't break the third commandment?" He said, "Isn't His name YAHWEH?" I replied, "According to modern Jewish tradition and modern biblical interpretation they say Yahweh is His name, however, this is really a hybrid name of God since it is based on marks that were added to the original Hebrew letters indicating vowel sounds. These marks were not on the original manuscripts and so should not be included. The original name revealed to Moses was the tetragramaton which is "YHWH". Modern interpretations added the vowels sounds which became YAWEH. This is a mistake since the original language pronounced the letters of the Hebrew alphabet which were Y or YOD, H or HAY, W or Wah, H or Hay; this would make the name, Yod Hay Wah Hay. The beauti of this interpretation is that the interpretation of Yod is hand, the interpretation of Hay is behold, Wah is Nail, and Hay is behold; so the interpretaion of Yod Hay Wah Hay in English is "Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail" This brings us to Jesus, who being crucified on the cross, the Romans hung a sign over His head which said, "Jesus of Nazereth the King of the Jews". The Jewish Elders being infuriated at this demanded that Pilot remove this sign from the cross: Pilot being unpreturbed replied, "What is written, is written". The interesting thing is the sign was written in Hebrew which revealed the true nature of who Jesus really is, the interpretation reads like this; Jesus of Nazeruth King of the Jews or Yeshua Hanasarut Whemalik Heyuda. Notice the first letters of the sign, YHWH, or YOD HAY WAH HAY, "Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail". This ties Jesus back to the God of creation, who before time began identified Himself as the one whose hand would be pierced with nails. Now the interesting thing that Jesus commanded the apostles in Matthew 28:19, "Baptise them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Could that name be "YOD HAY WAH HAY"?

"Why Did God Create Me?"

Let us go back before the beginning of time. Sometime in eternity past, before the earth was created. Let us go into the Council Chambers of heaven where a meeting is taking place(yes there is only one God yet manifested in three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). In order for us to comprehend the Destiny of Nations we must look into the heart and mind of God for His original intent. What is Gods intent for the creation of Human beings? It was at this time in eternity past that God began to express His deepest desires (yes God has desires). See the heart of God is love; His nature is to give love and He desires love to be reciprocated back to Him. The many faceted expressions of Yaweh's love encompasses the Father's heart, the Bridegroom's heart, and the Mothering nurturing heart of the Holy Spirit. In order for God to satisfy His inner desire it was necessary to create a complex intelligent being with the capacity to make rational decisions and one who had the freedom of choice to enter into a loving relationship with Him. God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; _ _ _ So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" Genesis 1:26. Through the Human family the Father would have a family, the Son would have a bride, and the Holy Spirit would have a family of Sons and Daughters. God knew that by creating man with a free will there existed the possibility that man could be corrupted. The power of darkness already lurked upon the face of the earth and temptation waited in the garden. God knew there would be a confrontation. He didn't want to simply create robots or beings that did not have the power of choice; therefore it was necessary for His creation to have the power to freely make the choice to enter into relationship with Him. The question that confronted the council was what would happen if the man made the wrong choice? God is righteous and holy and cannot fellowship with sin, and righteousness demands that a penalty be paid when the eternal laws of heaven are broken. The penelaty for sin is an immediate separation from the presence of God. In the eternal laws of heaven the penalty for sin is death. Knowing what would happen, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If the man fails I will pay the penalty." Thus He became the Lamb of God slain from before the foundation of the world. And so God created man in His own image. God created man to worship Him in true fellowship. This was God's intention for the human race and when we are not in fellowship with Him we are worshipping something else. He desires our full attention, our total surrender, our unbridled love and devotion.If you believe in an intelligent Designer you come to appreciate the beauty of God's crown jewel of creation, the human race. We have been fearfully and wonderfully designed and created.

"Free Trade or Fair Trade?"

I am posting this excellant article on "Free Trade or Fair Trade?" by Micheal Snyder of Blacklisted News. It contains just about every point I would want to include in an article on the "Giant Sucking Sound". If I were president of the US the second thing I would do is abolish all Free Trade and Most Favored nations agreements, right after I abolished the Federal Reserve Banks power to print money. Any presidential candidate who is not addressing these issues are liars and a part of the New World Order and are workin towards the dismantling of the United States of America! blacklistednews.com: Free Trade Or Fair Trade? 20 Reasons Why All Americans Should Be Against The Insane Trade Policies October 16, 2011 By Michael Snyder BlacklistedNews.com It is absolutely amazing how many Americans are still convinced that more "free trade" is the answer to our economic problems. The truth is that there is a vast difference between "free trade" and "fair trade", and in this article I will prove that all true conservatives and all true liberals should be completely against the insane trade policies of the federal government. Yes, we will always need to trade with other nations. Other nations make or have things that we need to trade for. Balanced trade relationships with other nations that have similar economies and that share similar values can be very beneficial. For example, our trading relationship with Canada, though not perfect, is generally beneficial to both sides. However, the United States also has dozens of trading relationships that are highly destructive to the U.S. economy. There are some predatory nations that are blatantly and openly cheating and everyone can see it. They are getting away with bloody murder and they are robbing us blind. The United States of America is being taken advantage of, and as a result thousands of good businesses are being destroyed and millions of good jobs are being lost. If you are an American and you are in favor of all of the unfair trade that is currently going on, then either you don't know much about economics or you actually want to see the U.S. economy be destroyed. Congress has just passed new free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. The Obama administration has also made " the NAFTA of the Pacific" a very high priority. Obama says that all of these new trade pacts will create more U.S. jobs. Well, either Barack Obama is completely ignorant when it comes to economics or else he is lying. When we merge our economy with the economies of nations where wages are much lower, it is inevitable that large numbers of jobs are going to leave the high wage areas (where we live) and go to areas where wages are much lower. It also certainly does not help that we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, that we burden our businesses with mountains of ridiculous regulations, and that we allow our "trade partners" to give their businesses a huge advantage by openly subsidizing them. The way that the system is set up now, nearly all U.S. businesses are at a massive, massive disadvantage. In general, the only businesses that can compete effectively in this environment are the giant corporations that can offshore huge portions of their operations. If you are a conservative, then there is no way that you should support our current trade policies. If you are a liberal, then there is no way that you should support our current trade policies. However, if you are a "George W. Bush Republican" or a "Clinton/Obama Democrat" that believes in globalism and the establishment of a one world economy as part of a "New World Order", then it would make sense why you would want to see America deindustrialized and brought down to the level of the rest of the world. But if you are a true conservative or a true liberal, then the following are reasons why you should be horrified by our current trade policies.... #1 Other Nations Openly Manipulate Their Currencies In Order To Gain A Significant Competitive Advantage For example, China keeps its currency set at a super low level relative to the U.S. dollar. By doing this, their products are far cheaper than U.S. products, and U.S. businesses cannot compete with them. This has resulted in the death of large numbers of U.S. businesses and the loss of millions of U.S. jobs. So just how bad is this problem? Well, a recent CNN article stated the following.... Critics of China's policy estimate that the yuan is still undervalued by 25% to 40%, even with the recent rises in value. The other day the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would impose tariffs on currency manipulators, and China has already retaliated, even though the bill has not become law yet and even though it almost certainly won't. China plays hardball. They love the advantage that they are getting right now and they do not plan on losing it. #2 Millions Of Good Paying Jobs Have Been Shipped Overseas And They Are Never Coming Back Our politicians all try to tell us how good they are at creating jobs. But what is the truth? The truth is that a total of zero jobs were created last decade. The following is a quote from a recent article in Washington Monthly.... "If any single number captures the state of the American economy over the last decade, it is zero. That was the net gain in jobs between 1999 and 2009­nada, nil, zip. By painful contrast, from the 1940s through the 1990s, recessions came and went, but no decade ended without at least a 20 percent increase in the number of jobs." Last decade we opened up our trade with the rest of the world more than ever before. But instead of creating jobs it destroyed them. Our trade deficits exploded and unemployment skyrocketed. The Economic Policy Institute says that since 2001 America has lost approximately 2.8 million jobs due to our trade deficit with China alone. So if you are unemployed, that is probably what happened to the job you are supposed to have. It went overseas and it is not coming back. #3 America Is Being Deindustrialized At A Blistering Pace Thanks To Globalism The advocates of "free trade" cannot dispute the cold, hard facts.... *The United States has lost an average of 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. *The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000. *If you can believe it, more than 42,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have been closed down since 2001. * Between December 2000 and December 2010, 38 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Ohio were lost, 42 percent of the manufacturing jobs in North Carolina were lost and 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Michigan were lost. *Back in 1970, 25 percent of all jobs in the United States were manufacturing jobs. Today, only 9 percent of the jobs in the United States are manufacturing jobs. #4 (For Conservatives) True Conservatives Should Be Horrified That We Are Being Taken Advantage Of By A Hardcore Communist Nation That Hates Us Ronald Reagan would have never engaged in "free trade" with the Soviet Union. The Communist Party is in complete control of China and while we may regard China as a "frenemy", they really do believe that they will totally defeat us someday. If you doubt this, just read what the top generals and politicians in China are writing. It is so incredibly stupid what we are doing. Our trade relationship with China has enabled the largest communist economy in the world to go from third world status to superpower status. China is now the second largest economy in the world, and that would have never happened without our help. A lot of people like to talk about how "capitalist" China is becoming, but the truth is that they have never wavered from their pure belief in communism. 7 of the 10 largest corporations in China are owned by the government. A host of other corporations in China are very deeply subsidized by the government. U.S. businesses have a very hard time competing with foreign businesses that are deeply subsidized by their own national governments. It is called cheating, and we let other countries get away with it. So our businesses die and their products fill up our store shelves. #5 We Are Endangering Our National Security By Greatly Enriching Our Biggest Potential Enemies The biggest threats to the United States are not some goat herders hiding out in the caves of Afghanistan. The biggest threats to the United States are actually China and Russia. Conservatives are supposed to be the ones that are so concerned about national security. But instead of expressing concerns about China, they just keep pushing for more free trade. As a result, China has been able to become a true global military superpower. Someday we will deeply, deeply regret that. #6 China Brazenly Steals Technology From Anyone And Everyone That They Can China gets away with bloody murder when it comes to stealing technology. They will do it "legally" if they can, and they will do it in "other ways" if they have to. At this point, China has invented a whole host of ways to extract technology from any firms that wants to do business in China. The following is a short excerpt from a recent article on CNN.... Foreign companies are often required to set-up joint ventures with Chinese firms before the can start doing business there. And China is instituting new "indigenous innovation" rules that U.S. companies say force them to transfer their own technology to their Chinese partners. #7 We Should Never Trade With Any Nation That Has A "One Child" Policy China has a very strict "one child policy" which should be absolutely abhorrent to all Americans. Most Americans have no idea what is really going on over in China. The following is from a recent article in the Epoch Times.... Pregnant women lacking birth permits are hunted down like criminals by population planning police in China and forcibly aborted. All over China, mobile abortion vans are used to help enforce the one child policy. What women in China must endure is absolutely sickening, and this kind of behavior should never be accepted in the global community. But instead of penalizing China, we reward them for this behavior. They even get awards at the United Nations for it. Look, conservatives are supposed to be pro-life. If you are a social conservative, then it goes against everything that you believe to support trade with China. You can support trade with China if you want, but then don't even try to call yourself "pro-life" again. We should never trade with any nation that has a "one child policy". Such a policy is against everything that America is supposed to stand for. #8 Our Horrendous Trade Imbalance Has Allowed Other Nations To Accumulate Gigantic Amounts Of Our Debt Every month, we send much more money to the rest of the world than they send to us. One thing that those other nations are doing with all of that money is that they are buying up our debt. Our trade deficit with China has enabled them to accumulate nearly a trillion dollars of our debt. This gives them tremendous leverage over us and is a very serious threat to our economy and to our national security. So now China can threaten the stability of our financial system with just a phone call. #9 Globalist Trade Institutions Are A Serious Threat To Our National Sovereignty Today, the "global economy" is governed by globalist institutions such as the G20, the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank. The United States has given up huge amounts of national sovereignty to these organizations. If you are a true conservative, this should greatly disturb you. We don't want faceless international bureaucrats telling us what our trade policies will be. But to a large degree that is the situation that we have gotten ourselves into. #10 Liberals (And All Americans) Are Supposed To Care About What Is Best For American Workers Millions of working class jobs have been shipped overseas, and yet Barack Obama just keeps pushing for more "free trade" agreements which will make the problem even worse. But instead of screaming bloody murder, liberals keep on supporting Obama. It's disgusting. The truth is that the Obama administration actually says that there are certain kinds of jobs that we "don't want" in the United States. For example, the following is what U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk recently told Tim Robertson of the Huffington Post about the Obama administration's attitude toward keeping manufacturing jobs in America.... Let's increase our competitiveness... the reality is about half of our imports, our trade deficit is because of how much oil [we import], so you take that out of the equation, you look at what percentage of it are things that frankly, we don't want to make in America, you know, cheaper products, low-skill jobs that frankly college kids that are graduating from, you know, UC Cal and Hastings [don't want], but what we do want is to capture those next generation jobs and build on our investments in our young people, our education infrastructure. So where is the outrage? Is anyone even awake out there? Even the construction of many of our roads and bridges is being outsourced to China. Just check out the following quote from a recent ABC News article.... In New York there is a $400 million renovation project on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. In California, there is a $7.2 billion project to rebuild the Bay Bridge connecting San Francisco and Oakland. In Alaska, there is a proposal for a $190 million bridge project. These projects sound like steps in the right direction, but much of the work is going to Chinese government-owned firms. "When we subsidize jobs in China, we're not creating any wealth in the United States," said Scott Paul, executive director for the Alliance for American Manufacturing. Liberals are supposed to be working to defend the working class. So why won't they openly go after Obama on these issues? Our unfair trade agreements have put American workers in direct competition for jobs with the cheapest labor on the globe. Until this is fixed, you will continue to hear a "great sucking sound" as millions of jobs continue to leave the United States and go to places where labor is ten to twenty times cheaper. It is insanity what we are doing. We allow big corporations to send their manufacturing offshore and also to ship their products back into the United States for free. Where in that equation is good news for the American worker? #11 Liberals (And All Americans) Should Be Horrified By The Exploitation Of Slave Labor Around The Globe All over the globe, workers toil in nightmarish conditions for slave labor pay just so that Americans can feed their addiction for cheap foreign products. Big corporations and collectivist governments such as China are getting unbelievably rich by exploiting this slave labor pool. Get educated about this and find out the truth. It just might totally change the way that you view "free trade". #12 Liberals (And All Americans) Should Be Horrified By The Damage To The Environment Our Trade Relationships Cause Liberals are supposed to deeply care about the environment. But our trade relationship with nations on the other side of the globe result in thousands of factories and businesses leaving our shores and ending up in countries where the environmental regulations are not nearly as strict. In fact, nations such as China are a complete and total environmental nightmare at this point. If liberals truly cared about the environment they would want to keep factories and businesses here. #13 Very Dangerous Products Continue To Flood Into This Country From Overseas Isn't product safety supposed to be a big thing for liberals? Today, a huge percentage of the products we buy are made outside the United States far from the watchful eyes of our regulatory agencies. Over the past couple of years, there has been headline after headline about dangerous products made in China. The following is just one example of this: 10 Babies Die Mysteriously At Fort Bragg: Toxic Drywall From China Used In Base Homes The Culprit? #14 The Globalization Of The Economy Causes Income Inequality To Grow By paying slave labor wages to workers overseas, the big corporations are becoming very wealthy. At the same time, that means that there are much fewer jobs for average working class Americans, and wages for the jobs that remain are pushed down because of increased competition for jobs. So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. If you don't believe that income inequality in the United States has become a huge problem, just check out this chart. #15 Because Of All Of The Cheating And All Of The Predatory Behavior That Is Going On, Our Trade Relationships Have Become Incredibly Imbalanced Today, the United States spends about 4 dollars on goods and services from China for every one dollar that China spends on goods and services from the United States. So how is that even close to "fair"? Our store shelves are absolutely packed with stuff from China. In 2010, the number one U.S. export to China was "scrap and trash". Even in high technology products we are being destroyed. In 2002, the United States had a trade deficit in "advanced technology products" of $16 billion with the rest of the world. In 2010, that number skyrocketed to $82 billion. #16 Our Gigantic Trade Deficit Is Destroying Our National Wealth The United States has had a negative trade balance every single year since 1976, and since that time the United States has run a total trade deficit of more than 7.5 trillion dollars with the rest of the world. Our gigantic trade deficits are making us poorer as a nation each and every month. Each year, somewhere around half a trillion dollars of our national wealth gets transferred out of the United States. That half a trillion dollars could be going to support U.S. businesses and U.S. jobs. Taxes could be paid on that half a trillion dollars. But instead it leaves the country and makes other nations wealthier. #17 The Globalization Of The Economy Has Caused Unemployment In The United States To Explode If you gathered together all of the workers that are "officially" unemployed in the United States today, they would constitute the 68th largest country in the world. #18 As Our Cities Are Deindustrialized, Many Of Them Are Being Transformed Into Absolute Hellholes The other day, I wrote the following about what is happening in cities and towns across the United States.... All across America there are cities and towns that were once prosperous and beautiful that are being transformed into absolute hellholes. The scars left by the long-term economic decline of the United States are getting deeper and more gruesome. #19 Without Good Jobs, An Increasing Number Of Americans Are Having To Turn To Government Assistance We are going to support U.S. workers one way or another. Either we are going to provide them with good jobs, or we are going to let their jobs be shipped out of the country and we are going to pay for the government to feed and house them. Today, there are more than 45 million Americans on food stamps. That number has gone up by more than 70 percent since 2007. Almost every single month we set a new all-time record for the number of people being fed by the federal government. #20 If Nothing Is Done, All Of This Is Going To Get A Lot Worse According to Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton University, 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades. Can you imagine what America is going to look like if that happens?

"THE DAMS ARE COMING DOWN"

THE 2012 Native American Holy Ghost Conference exploded with spiritual significance during the campmeeting on the ancient site of the Celilo Indian Village on the banks of the Columbia River. I cannot describe the incredible spiritual significances this place holds in the plans and purposes of the Creator and for the destiny of North American and its inhabitants. In the early stages of planning and while searching for a suitable location to hold the campmeeting our team did not realize the spiritual significance of what YHWH God had planned in His mind and heart for this place. Our team of Circuit Riding Preacher brothers did not know the ancient historical significances of the Celilo Village but we agreed that the Great Spirit would be pleased if we held our campmeeting at this location. We came to learn that Celilo Village is one of the oldest continually inhabited villages in North America. The Celilo Tribe has lived and fished at the site of Celilo Falls continually for thousands of years. Celilo Falls developed into the Wall Street of the western tribes, when tribes would annually come to harvest during the salmon runs, and Celilo Falls eventually developed into an important trade center, and cultural polinization center. The Chief of the Celilo Tribe was the man in charge of administering order and directing different tribal groups and individuals as to the exact location where they could fish. He was a very important figure in the fishing societies and cultures of the area. He maintained peace and order, and it is incredible to think that no wars or disorder was reported in the area. The Celilo tribe flourished and were a prosperous people, unlike the village gripped by poverty that exhists there today. Think about this, prior to the arrival of the White Man, there were no hospitals, no prisons, no insane asylums, no schools, no welfare checks, no poverty, no police force, only men and animals living in harmony with nature. One of the tribal elders several generations ago had a vision that a snake would crawl across the land, a monster would come up the river, and a wall would be built that would be dangerous for animals to cross to get to the river. Modern tribal members interpret the vision; the snake is the railroads crossing the land , the river monster is modern tug boats and barges on the river, and the Interstate highway blocking animals from the river is the wall. Their interpretation may be accurate but I believe it has a spiritual interpretation; demonic entities sent to destroying the people and their way of life since the arrival of the White Man. The pythons grip of the serpant has encircled the people with poverty and oppression; the monster in the river is the series of dams that has changed the flow of the river and robbed the people of their way of life; and the wall of prejudice and injustice erected that has isolated the people. During the era of the Bonniville Administration the Columbia River became the source of power generation for the Pacific Northwest; power being generated from numerous dams built on the Columbia River system disrupting the natural flow of water and altering the sensitive eco system thereof. The dammed up river developed into intense controversy between the Tribes and the Corps of Engineer who administer the river for the federal government, the dams disrupting the salmon runs and natural life cycles. During the 1950s the Dalles Dam was constructed completely covering Celilo Falls, flooding Celilo Village and forever altering the world of the Celilo people. The federal government negotiated an agreement to build the dam with three major tribes in the area, the Yakima, the Warm Springs, and the Nez Perces; however, none of the three live on the river. The negotiations completely left out the Celilo Tribal leaders. The three tribes agreed to a monetary settlement of twenty seven million dollars for damages to the tribes for the right to construct the massive dam; in addition, the Corps agreed to build a new housing area for the Celilo people who were being displaced by flooding the river. The settlement was divided between the tribes and per capita payments made to the people. When Celilo Tribal leaders received settlement checks they refused to accept them, and eventually tore them up, saying, "These do not mean anything to us." The Corp took the small river band and moved them across the highway into small barrack type houses with uninsulated plywood walls. The people lived without sewer or electricity for the next decade; their livelihood taken away and their way of life forever altered. Without the traditional salmon economy the tribal people languished and fell into a life of government subsistence, food was hard to come by. For fifty years the people waited in their shanties for the promised houses to be built. The elders and old people who had waited so long for the promises to be fulfilled began to die off. This once proud independent people had been reduced to nothing. Can you imagine, twenty seven million dollars for a way of life? John Stossel should take this story and stuff it in his pompous pipe, and report about who really is being ripped off. The Celilo people were not asking for a handout, they just wanted to live their traditional way of life. They were not asking for a life in the White Man's world, just the freedom to catch fish in their traditional ways. Today Celilo Falls lies buried beneath millions of cubic feet of water. The story of the Celilo people unfolded during the campmeeting and the Holy Spirit moved upon us to pray for the "Healing of the Land and river. Prior to the campmeeting a prophet had a vision of an angle named Columbia straddling the Columbia river with a foot on the Washington side and a foot at Celilo Park .We worshipped, preached, and prayed for the healing of the land. The Holy Spirit led us to have communion with the land and river, to cast salt into the river and to blow four blasts on the shofar. This powerful ministry took place without any visual confirmation other than a few unusual clouds and a powerful presance of God. However, while returning from a ministry trip to Turner Oregon I decided to stop by Celilo Park. My babies and I took a stroll down to the rivers edge; to my amazement the water was crystal clear and the mossy scum that had covered the rocks was totally gone. This was a sign and wonder to those who had seen the river before the healing service. This gave us confidence that the angel Columbia had also released its promised blessing of revival in the Northwest. One last thing, in the heart and mind of God and His justice; one day He will bring those dams down and the salmon will return, just like Jesus said, "Not one stone will remain upon another." Praise the Lord Jesus!!!

INDIANS GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED?

Did Native Americans really get what they deserved, or is this the same old condemnation Christians have been demonizing Native Culture with since they got off the Mayflower? Could it be that Satan hates Native Americans so much that he has perpetuated this lie and has done everything he can to destroy them? Was the holocost that destroyed an estimated twenty million Native Americans and stripped them of their way of life the judgement of God? Recently, a friend of mine emailed me with this question? Dear Lockley: I recently told a fellow Christian about what happened at the Celilo meeting. I told him how the whites took away from the Indians their fishing by building that dam in the Dalles http://www.blogger.com/blogger.gblogID=11247868&pli=1#editor/target=post;postID=738577809952324579;onPublishedMenu=trafficsourcesstats;onClosedMenu=trafficsourcesstats;postNum=5;src=postname. He replied with Deuteronomy 28 and said that is how God deals with people groups and nations. So he thinks that the Indians got what they deserved and that it was God's will for the whites to take over. You have done more research on this than I have. How would you answer that person? My reply: The statement made by this Christian pretty well reflects the opinion formulated by the majority church here in the United States; Early American Christians were enamored with the vision of, "A City Set On a Hill" and manifested into the doctrine of "Manifest Destiny". This doctrine basically says, in the providence of God's will and His higher purpose, is for Christian civilization to progress and possess the land occupied by ungodly heathen." This includes the displacement of prior and unchristian civilizations. Early Anglo Christians used this belief as grounds to justify their actions and to kill and displace the Original Inhabitants of the land without guilt or fear of reprocussion. They based their belief on scriptures such as Deutoronomy 28, Leviticus 26, believing that the vast empty continent of America was their promised land, "a land flowing with milk and honey." The American church today has become complacent with the thought that it was God's will. But the question we should ask this young man is; what gives Anglo Americans the legitimacy to conquer and occupy the land of the Native Americans in the New Testament? Where did Jesus tell His disciples to go and take the land, or to kill the ones they were sent to preach the gospel of the Kingdom?

"AMERICAN IDOLATRY" (part 1)

Part 1 (The Mystery of Iniquity) In my search for God there has always been two over riding questions; first, "Something is missing;" and second, "There must be more". The human spirit is an amazing creation. We thirst, but we know not what for; we hunger, yet nothing satisfies; we look, we search. and our spiritual quest leads us on life's long journey of discovery. Ultimately our quest leads us to these questions, "Why am I here", and "Is there a purpose for my life". I was never a rebellious child, however, as I encountered God I was confronted with the decision to climb up to the mountain top and explore what the burning bush was or remain in the herd and be led around by my shepherds. On the mountain top I discovered it was just me and Him; the world faded away, all of the buzz, all of the fuss, all of the lies. My spirit began to respond, "Yes, Yes, this is what I want, this is what I have been searching for, I give you my life, I will go where you want me to go, I will do what you want me to do." To my friends and family I had gone crazy, but to me, I had discovered the realization of why I am here. See, within the human spirit there is a longing for God. He put it there, it is one of the mysteries of the Crown Jewel of God's creation. You and I my friend are not here by accident. We have a purpose. The Apostle Paul says, "We are God's workmanship." He has created and formed our spirits to stand face to face with Him, only we on our knees pouring out our hearts to Him. Yet, this is where mankind begins to miss their special purpose. God is a Spirit, we can't see Him, we can't touch Him, we have no physical contact with Him. Man wants a god he can see and touch. We build temples, we form denominations, we elevate heroes to godlike status. See, when you reject your face to face relationship with your Creator you must turn to something else. When we turn to another god our spirit is corrupted; this is what we call the "Mystery of Iniquity". This was the root of the fall of mankind's first father Adam. The Mystery of Iniquity is the perversion of true worship. It is mankind's attempt to fill that place in their spirit that was created to be filled by the lover of their soul. The world is sick, America is sick! Why, because we have rejected the living God and His Son Jesus, and we have created this thing, called the United States, that we worship. We turn to the government for all of our needs. Instead of praying to the Creator of the Universe we expect the government to solve all of our needs. Yes, this is idolatry of the first order, and it comes with all of the consequence's. One of the consequences is blindness and deafness; we have a country of people held in bondage to an idol that demands blood sacrifice. We offer the unborn on the alter, we offer the blood of our finest. Yes there is a price that your idol demands. America, repent!

"Native Culture Was Not Communism"

There are many things I would like to say, but for the time I will concentrate on tribalism verses socialism, communism, and capitalism. From what I understand many have taken on the politics formed from the worldview that Indian people have been irreparably damaged by the United States government and the capitalistic system of the White people; that they believe that Native people should return to their former tribal culture which they believe more closely resembles a communistic socialist society; and are motivated by a revolutionary movement to bring down the current system of capitalism and replace it with a socialist system of government. First I would like to refute the thesis that Indian culture was a communistic culture, and show you that Indians followed a dynamic leadership structure that was based on spirituality, wisdom, and the sole interest in the survival of their family units or bands. Communism and socialism are basically the same thing, however, communism crosses over from the purely economic philosophy and into a governmental system supposedly owned and run by the populace; we will refer to them in this essay as CnS. The basic philosophy of communism and socialism is materialistic while Native American culture is based upon spirituality. Capitalism is based upon private ownership. while CnS is based upon centralized control and governmental ownership of resources, production, in the name of the people. This is where CnS departs from similarities with Native culture because where CnS forces the confiscation of private property and resources; Natives believed that the Creator (God) was the sole owner of the land and resources, and they could not possess the land or resources. Natives practiced an active system of trade for goods but were not capitalists. The Europeans came over here with the concept of individual ownership of the land; however this concept was quickly corrupted when they discovered the vast amount of fertile land in North America; "The love of money is the root of all evil." Capitalism taken to its extreme is like the game of monopoly, where the rich get richer and the rest go broke. Christianity more closely resembles Native American beliefs because in true Christianity God is the owner of everything and we are only stewards of His blessings. CnS are evil and anti Christ at their core beliefs because they believe that religion is the opiate of the masses, that only ignorant and uneducated people believe in God. Their aim is to become God to the people and to control every aspect of their life.
Native tribes never had a centralized system of government. A loosely confederated group of bands had a shared language, culture, religion, and geographic location, but they never did have a shared government. They were much smaller tribal components called Bands. Some bands were very small made up of just a few family units and some were much larger. These bands would come together at certain times of the year for fellowship and celebration but the bands were never under a autocratic system. After the gathering the bands would break up into their smaller units and travel traditional hunting and gathering patterns.
Natives were not a communist society. Yes they lived in a community but it differed diabolically from communism. I have been in several former communist countries and I have many friends who lived under communist regimes. They are all thankful they no longer live under that evil system. I have seen the skeletons of communist apartments, the raping of the land, and the poverty they created. One of my friends is a farmer and he told me that during the communist era there was a shortage of food and goods. He said it wasn't because their land wasn't fruitful or productive, but the communists would come and take all of the produce and take it back to Russia. He said he was forced to go to Russia and show them how to farm, but it was a joke because the people had no incentive to work hard on the communes. Many of the people under communism were on waiting lists to buy things like cars. They said it took fifteen years to get a car; a family would save all of their lives to buy one car and they ended up with a little Travant (same as an Obama car). In a Native community the people owned their own personal goods such as tee pees, house hold goods, food, horses and weapons; under communism you only own the clothes on your back. A Natives family status depended on their ability to hunt and gather for their household,. The family unit was the strongest unit in the Native community. Generosity was the most highly honored virtue in Native culture. It was up to the individual to share their good fortune with those who had less. They were never forced to support the weak and sickly, there was no common ownership of resources. There was no such thing as taxation or a central government. The people who became known as Chiefs were those who were the most trusted and honored people in the community. They were followed because of their generosity and wisdom. The Council Fires were a forum where the community could come together and speak freely. Every person had a voice and were honored to speak their mind, but in the end they did not vote, there was no democratic rule; the Chief would make the final decision. Once the decision was made those who trusted in his leadership would follow, those who didn't had the option to go their own way. No one was forced to follow; a Chief was followed because he was a dynamic leader. The Natives believed their good fortune was based upon how well they pleased the Creator. They believed that if circumstances were hard that they had somehow offended the Creator and had to somehow atone for their sins. They did this through the various ceremonies, dances, etc. When the White Man first arrived Natives believed that they were God's messengers and had come to show them how they could better please the Creator. If the early missionaries had known the expectations of the Natives the results would have been very different. I believe the reason Europeans came to this continent was to introduce Natives to the Son of God, Jesus. Had they kept their mission to the simple gospel and allowed the Holy Spirit to form a Native Christian community I believe it would have been a beautiful culture. The Natives had already many Christian concepts in their culture and taken to its completion would have modeled Christianity far better than capitalism. Getting back to CnS; they are very deceptive because they play on peoples emotions using social justice and equality as their M/O. It is deceptive because they cannot deliver on what they portray. They must use oppression, suppression, force, and the confiscation of personal property to impose their rule. There is a ruling class of people and when taken to its completion communism always ends in tyranny and dictatorship. Carl Marx one of the founders of communism said that socialism is the first stage of communism. The losers in a communist take over is always the Christians. I personally know pastors and Christians from communist China who were put into prison, beaten, bones broken and forced to renounce their faith. They are denied employment and Their children denied education. Under communism you will end up with the same wicked rulers you would have under a capitalist system, because it is survival of the fittest. If you study history, every communist nation was built upon the blood of thousands of people who opposed their systems. To them social justice is to create class warfare by turning the Have Nots against the Haves. It is all based upon materialism; to create hatred, prejudice, and revolution against a privileged class of people who the have nots view as denying them the same basic privileges. You kids were never raised to be materialistically minded; this is where the world is waging warfare no matter what label you put on it. The only one who has denied you any worldly goods is yourself. Now my solution to all of this is the Kingdom of God. Jesus said when you pray say, "Thy Kingdom come thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." In the end, all of them are going to have to give it all back to God. Why don't you get on the right side now?

What's Missing in the Health Care Debate?

What is missing in the current health care debate? Has the church been struck dumb, is it a sleeping dog, or has the church finally become irrelevant living in its own universe? It seems that the church has been eerily silent in the current debate. The only thing we hear is a few peeps in opposition to federally funded abortions. Whatever the reason, the prophetic voice of hope in divine healing has been stuffed under the seats of Christians in their ivory towers! Isaiah says, "Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" The health care crisis reveals two things; First, it is a tremendous opportunity for the church to proclaim the healing message of the gospel, and second, it reveals how the mighty have fallen; that is, the decline in physical health in this country is a physical manifestation of the decline in the spiritual health of this country. The Apostle Paul says, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit everlasting life." The steady decline in the physical health of this nation's populace is in direct proportion to the spiritual decline of the church. The church should be lifting its voice like a trumpet, shout aloud, spare not! We are missing the prophetic voice against the idolatry that is being set up in this country. Government is being set up as God! The Bible says, "My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory;" the government says, "We will provide for all of our hudled masses;" The Bible says, "Jesus is the Great Physician;" Government says, "Our health care bill provides for the poor and needy." Government is trying to take the place of God in the lives of the people! Idolatry produces devastating consequences; Revelations 3:23, "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds." I'm sorry folks, the more we turn to the idolatrous government system and turn our backs on the living God, the more we are going to see this country fall into chaos. The illustration of the "Blind man of Bethsaida" gives us a good picture of where we are at with the Lord. Mark 8:22, As long as this blind man stayed in the cursed place he could not be healed. Even when the people begged Jesus to heal him the Lord could not help them. Jesus had pronounced judgment upon the city of Bethsaida when He proclaiming, "Woe unto you Chorazin and Bethsaida, for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah they would have repented a long time ago." The blind man had to take Jesus by the hand and be led out of the cursed place before he could be healed. Then it took Jesus two times praying for the man before he could be healed. Then Jesus told him not to go back into the cursed town. The first thing we need to do is to take Jesus by the hand and let Him lead us out of our cursed place; secondly, we need to pray through until we see clearly, and thirdly, we can't go back into an idolatrous relationship with the United States government or any other system. The next thing we will see is restrictions on the proclamation of the gospel in this country. Be free and be healed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, King of King, and Lord of Lords.

THE AMERICAN DICTATOR

The American Dictatorship, While visiting a friend in Germany about the election of Barack Obama recently he commented , "The reason Americans don't recognize Barack Obama's agenda is because they have never lived through Adolf Hitler." My friend informed me that one of the scrupulous tactics used by Hitler to become dictator was to under mine and usurp the authority of the legislature. If we read between the lines of Obama's recent speeches we can detect his subtle plan to render the congress of the United States as irrelevant. During his recent SOTU speech he declared, because of Congress's inaction on a certain issue he would be forced to issue an Executive Order. Time and time again he emphasises the ineffectiveness of congress. His appointment of over thirty Czars is another end run around congress and imposes the executive power over government. One thing I have noticed about Obama is that he is totally committed to the philosophy that if you tell a lie often enough the people will eventually believe it is the truth. This tactic is employed when he speaks about Washington gridlock and congressional hindrances to getting his agenda passed. In addition to all that, Obama could care less if his Democratic counterparts are reelected; a new congress with political green horns is exactly what he wants. The last obstacle standing in his way is the Supreme Court; in Obama's SOTU speech he took a stab at undermining the Court with half truths. His little stab at the court was intended to make them appear old, out of touch, and ineffective. We are not far off from a takeover and the new American Dictator. All it will take is a national emergency; since the H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic proved to be an unreliable emergency perhaps the crash of the American Dollar will do. Whatever the case we need to keep this administration under close scrutiny. We can take a lesson from a segment on the Jay Leno show, "Here is what he said, what he really meant is?"

"LOOKING IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES"

Who would have suspected the savior of the world be born in a stable. He never commanded a great military victory. He never came on a white stallion. He was never elected to a political office. He didn't go to Harvard or Stanford. He was the antithesis of everything we look for in a savior. He is the exact opposite of someone we think can solve all our problems for us. Today, we in America are doing the same thing, we are looking for a savior in all the wrong places. Look at the meteoric rise of Barack Obama. America was enthralled with this great orator graduated from Harvard. Surely he must be the one to save us. With all of his talents and intelligence surely he must be the one. Sorry America, we are prisoners of our own national stupidity. Nobody is going to fix your problems but you, and the One who gives you breath in your nostrils. No one will admit it but what we are expecting from Obama he cannot deliver. I believe God is going to allow this nation to flounder until we realize that He is God and we are not. As long as we continue to look to man for the answers we will continually be disappointed. God has a plan. Actually God is a family man and His plan is to gather His family into one household where He has furnished everything for His children. This is why the whole story begins with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothing lying in a manger. The baby was God's baby, His Son, Jesus, and it is through His Son that He is delivering all of the blessings of heaven to those who believe. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Jesus is the Great Physician, Jesus is the one who multiplies the fishes and the loaves. Jesus is the one who pulls the tax money out of the fishes mouth. He is the one who provides all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Jesus is the Savior!!! Merry Christmas

Obama Announces Surrender in Afganistan

President Barack Obama, in his speech to West Point Cadets, announced the biggest military blunder since Viet Nam. In the same sentence Obama announced the deployment of thirty thousand additional troops to Afghanistan and he announced his withdrawal date of July 2011. It is obvious that the troop surge is purely a political ploy to camouflage his true position, which is to retreat from the War on Terror. Obama should have ended the sentence by saying these troops will crush Al Qaeda, eradicate the Taliban and bring peace to Afghanistan; instead he set a clear date to retreat. It does not take a military genius to see this gives our troops only one summer to accomplish the mission of winning the war, train Afgan police and army, pacify the villages and cities of Afghanistan, capture Bin Laden and destroy Al Qaeda. The harsh winters in Afghanistan prevents most military maneuvers so this leaves the summer of 2010 to win the war. If we haven't won the war in eight years, what new military strategy did Obama reveal that will win the war in one summer. First of all, more troops is not the answer; being a Viet Nam vet I witness a troop build up of half a million men, resulting in nearly fifty eight thousand dead. What was missing in the Viet Nam build up was the will and commitment to a military victory. Without the will for a military victory in Afghanistan the buildup is doomed to failure. What is infuriating, this man will sacrifice the lives of American young men to cover up his true agenda of retreat. By setting a withdrawal date Obama has given a signal to our enemies that we are not in the fight to win, and he has given our friends the message that we will not stand with them to the end. Why is our President so willing to give our enemies a subliminal message? It is not the first time. It is clear that either Obama does not understand the underlying agenda of Islam or he understands Jihad and is working to further their cause. When is America going to hold Obama accountable! During his campaign he made it clear that Afghanistan was the war that needed to be won. He declared that the Iraq war was the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time! Well, he has been president for over a year now; where was his strategy for Afghanistan last December? Why did it take him so long to announce his surrender; did it take him that long to figure out how to mask his retreat? My conclusion, just get out and face the music.

THE PROBLEM WITH CAPITALISM

One of the noble ideals of America is the "American Dream". That is the ideal that any individual who is willing to work can achieve financial success and individual freedom. I have spent most of my life struggling to attain my place in the Dream, and have faught a war to defend our right to the Dream. With the emergence of Barak Obama as a presidential candidate I have detected a tendency of his followers to denigrate "Capitalism". My first reaction is to defend capitalism; however, when capitalism in context with the emergence of globalism is taken into context it is necessary to re-examine my position. Capitalism in its pure form is much like the game of Monopoly; the rich get richer and the poor eventually go bankrupt. In the evolution of American capitalism we are entering the stage of the rich consolidating their power and the poor selling out. One of Hitlers philosophies was to introduce governmental deception through lies to the public. He believed that it was necessary, for his policies he believe good the people, but were overtly wrong, to be introduced through deception. I am afraid this has happened to us the American public; we are sheep being led to the slaughter. The deception being hid from the American public is the power and political control of the super rich. American public opinion is being controlled and manipulated by an elite class of The New World Order. Barak's followers are blind to the fact that what they are crying for, "socialism" is exactly what the rich ruling class are planning on. The Utopian idea of the redistribution of wealth is in reality a formula for the enslavement of the masses. What the masses consider the rich, in reality are middle class; will reduce the entire nation to poverty, while the super rich oligarchy continue to skim the gravy off the top. In reality the super rich do not pay taxes. They have passed laws to hid their wealth in Trusts, Foundations, and tax shelters. The Federal Reserve Board is in reality a private for profit corporation that is destroying the American dollar for the sake of globalization. On the other hand, capitalism in its present form is funneling cash into the coffers of the super rich. Exxon Corporation profits have grown from twenty five billion in 2001 to over three hundred billion last year, at the expense of the American consumer. What capitalism has evolved into is predatory profiteering, with the help of the United States government. The government who was established to protect the American Dream has become partners in destroying our economy as we know it. Take the merger of Delta Airlines with Northwest, the recent giant bank mergers, the sale of Yahoo to Microsoft; these are all symptoms of the Monopoly game of capitalism coming to a close. I guess its time to reassess our position and find out how we can capitalise on the new system. Take your pick, the Marxist agenda of Barak, or the predatory profiteering of the others.

THE TRANSFERENCE OF AUTHORITY

TRANSFERENCE OF AUTHORITY For the believer understanding spiritual authority is a vital revelation necessary to walk in victory and in the plan and purposes of God. God has chosen the believer to be His agent to propagate and establish His rule and blessing in the whole earth. Jesus came preaching, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” For the believer understanding several incidence throughout history where a transference of authority took place helps us to understand the dynamics of spiritual authority and gives us confidence in who we are and what Christ has invested in us. Luke 4:5-8 “The devil taking Him up on a high mountain showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, ‘All this authority I will give You, and their glory, for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.’ Jesus answered, ‘Get behind Me Satan! For it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ This is one of the great events where the cosmic struggle for power and control over God’s creation, between good and evil, between God and the devil, occurred; the first being the struggle that occurred in the Garden of Eden when Adam succumbed to the deceit of the devil. Satan knew who Jesus was and the authority invested in Him, and immediately challenged His authority by undermining His standing, saying, “If you are the Son of God?” Satan had already deceived and coerced God’s first son to deliver his authority over to him and for the second time was making a play for all authority. He knew that this was the home run, the grand slam play that would bring down all of God’s rule and deliver God’s supreme authority over to him. Satan understands the transference of authority and is the master usurper of power, and under miner of authority. When Satan said to Jesus, “All this authority I will give you, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whoever I will;” he was declaring the legal entitlement over the world that had been delivered to him; the transference of authority that had taken place in the garden of Eden. We must understand the immense authority God had endowed upon Adam. Adam was a king, and God had crowned him with authority to rule the entire world. Remember, Adam was created in the image of God and after His likeness. Adam was not given a suit of skin like the rest of the animals in the garden, but he was clothed with the glory of God; this is why the man and woman did not realize they were naked. It was God’s purpose for the man to utilize the glory and employ the authority to spread the blessing of Eden into all of the earth. One must assume that darkness already covered the earth and that Adam’s job was to reclaim and replenish the earth by restoring the blessing of heaven over all of God’s creation. According to Genesis 1:2, “The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep;” implies that Satan and the fallen angels were already on earth and had destroyed the original creation. The earthly reign of Satan is illustrated in Job 1:7 when God says to Satan, “From where do you come?” Satan replies, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” Sometime in antiquity the original creation had been destroyed by the powers of darkness. Jesus illustrates this when He said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” “The Fall” occurred when Lucifer, the anointed cherub, exalted himself and tried to usurp God’s throne on the mountain of God. It was at this time in antiquity that Lucifer and a third of the angels fell from their standing in the kingdom of God and were cast into the earth. Jude says, “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode. He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day,” Jude 1:6. When God planted Eden in the earth it was a beach head; a foothold from where He would reclaim His creation and plant His blessing over all the earth through His agent Adam. Notice the words God used when He enthroned Adam as King of the Earth; “Let them have dominion (over everything), be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, have dominion over___ every living thing that moves, God put man in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” If we examine the commission in the original language we can conclude that Adam was given authority to rule and to guard, and to spread the domain. The words, to keep and to guard, contain a militant connotation. Through Adam and his offspring God would recover His creation and perpetuate His blessings into all of the earth. Adam’s rule was demonstrated and established in the naming of the animals. Genesis 2:19, “And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.” Adam used the power of the spoken word and his word was established. For the casual reader this statement seems to be insignificant; however, to the student of the word we can see the revelation of the power of the spoken word through God’s anointed agents. It is through the spoken word through God’s anointed agents that His rule is established and His will perpetuated. Adam’s implementation of the role of a King was verified through his actions. We can further understand the extent of Adam’s authority when we see the vast extent of the kingdom of darkness in all of the world. Satan uses the same authority that was given to Adam. Satan hates mankind because man was created in the image of God. When Satan sees man it infuriates him because he sees in man what he wanted for himself. In Isaiah 14:13 and 14, Satan declared his desire to be like God in the five “I wills”, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, on the farthest sides of the north, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.” When he sees man he is enraged with jealousy and hatred and desires nothing but to destroy the image of God in man. This is why he takes pleasure in destroying the unborn before the image of God can come forth into the world. It pleases him to terrorize mankind, to destroy and disfigure the image of God in man through sickness and disease and destruction. Jesus said, “The thief cometh but for to steal, kill and destroy,” John 10:10; He also said in John 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” When Adam succumbed to the treachery of Satan an occurrence of the transference of authority took place in the spiritual realm. It was at this point in time that all of the authority, the dominion, and anointing that God had placed on His son Adam were legally transferred onto Satan. Jesus called this “The Foundation of the World;” A legal action that took place founding the legal establishment of the Kingdom of the World under the rule and reign of Satan himself. The Greek word for foundation is themelios meaning the founding of an organization, company or entity. When Adam came into agreement with the serpent and rejected to command of God he legally handed over his Kingship to Satan and reduced himself to become a slave of the devil. Isaiah says it in chapter 60:2, ”Behold the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.” Once again God’s plan to restore His blessing over creation was thwarted, and set back for another time and for another man. When Satan declared, “All this authority has been delivered to me, and I will give it to whoever I chose,” he was enforcing his right over his domain, the authority he had usurped from the first son of God. We find that all of the world follows the serpent, or dragon, and worships him, and he finally finds an entity called the beast who he delivers his worldly authority over to, Revelation 13:2. When Satan showed Jesus all of the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, Jesus was seeing in the spiritual realm all of the kingdoms of darkness and demonic networks in the world; He saw the networks of terrorism, the networks of religion and idolatry, the networks of greed and riches, the kingdoms of tyranny and injustice, drugs and addictions, the epidemics of sickness and disease, death and destruction, hell and the grave. All of this authority Satan had corrupted and turned to be used to destroy God’s glory in creation. Jesus revealed the true nature and destiny of Satan’s kingdom in Matthew 12:25, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand “ Unfortunately for the devil his play to usurp God’s authority from His Son Jesus was not going to work. The devil knew that if he could get the Son of God to bow down and worship him he would once again triumph and under mine the authority of God. It seemed simple, “If you will worship before me, all will be Yours.” The devil was stupid to think Jesus would be tempted to desire all that was in the world and their glory but he knew that Jesus may be tempted to try to regain Adam’s authority by one act of bowing before the devil. It seemed simple enough. But remember the command of God in Deuteronomy 5:6, “I am the LORD your God ­___You shall have no other gods before me ___you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children.” The devil knew this command and the consequences of breaking this law, just like he knew the command given to Adam, “thou shall not eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, for in the day you eat of it you shall die.” Just one little act of worshipping the devil and all this authority will be yours. Jesus was a man under the Law and was commissioned to fulfill all of the Law, every jot and tittle. What the devil was counting on, since Jesus had come in the flesh, was for the mystery of iniquity that had corrupted Adam, to kick in. The devil had mastered the corruption of the nucleus of God’s desire. In the heart of God He desired to create an intelligent being who was capable of forming a relationship with Him, and that had the freedom to choose to love and worship Him. When God created man he placed within him the innate desire to worship his creator and the freedom to choose. The core nature of man is to worship and glorify God in perfect harmony and union. Man can never be a complete being until he becomes one with His creator. Unfortunately, with freedom of choice, or free will, comes the right to make the wrong choices. This is the mystery of iniquity; the perversion or corruption of true worship. Because man was created with an innate desire to worship he will worship something whether it is God or something else. When this worshipping nature is turned to something other than God it becomes perverted. Iniquity and idolatry are synonymous throughout scripture; idolatry is the act of worshipping false gods, while iniquity is the nature in man that is adulterous and betrays his creator by giving his devotion to another. At the fall man turned away from God and he began to worship the creation rather than the creator, Romans 1:25. When Jesus spoke to the devil He said, “Get behind Me Satan, for it is written, you shall worship the LORD your God and Him only shall you worship!” Thus, declaring His devotion and allegiance to His heavenly Father. What the devil didn’t realize was that Jesus did not come to reclaim Adam’s authority; He came in His own authority and to establish a new dominion. Jesus did not want power in the world; He had power over the world. He did not come to regain the power of the world but He came to destroy the works of the devil. Adam’s authority was inconsequential to Jesus. His authority was greater. When Jesus declared in Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth;” He was not saying all power in heaven and earth and the world has been given to me. He did not want power in the world He had power over the world. When Jesus said, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy,” He was declaring His authority over the powers of darkness. Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom of God. He announced a new rule, a new dominion, a new ruler, a new King. This Kingdom was not an earthly kingdom; it was the Kingdom of heaven, God’s rule, God’s authority. This was the white stone from Daniel 2:34, “A stone was cut out, without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces ___and the stone that struck the image, became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” This was Jesus who came to destroy the powers of darkness and the tyranny that Satan had cast over the world.

THE RE IMPOSITION OF PHARAOH'S RULE

THE INSTITUTIONALIZED ENSLAVEMENT CONSPIRACY Jesus made the statement, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” He goes and to say, “Satan has been a liar from the beginning, and is the father of lies.” In this essay I want to illustrate how Satan has formulated a conspiracy from the beginning of time to enslave populations, nations, and people through governmental institutions. I will uncover this institutionalized deception by illustrating the four hundred year bondage of the children of Israel under the Pharaohic governmental system, and compare it to our current reservation systems and how this conspiracy is taking over in our American governmental system. The enslavement of Israel in Egypt under Pharoahic rule demonstrates how Satan uses the structure of institutional governmental policies to reduce a formerly free people to that of slaves, and how a free people were seductively drawn into the role of slaves. Israel migrated into Egypt during a time of famine in their homeland. Formerly a prosperous and free people they were welcomed as brothers, initially, into Egypt. Israel was the possessors’ of the blessings and promises of God; that through them all nations in the world would be blessed. They had learned to live by faith under the providence of a benevolent and living God; they were beholden to no man. Through a series of events Israel found their selves living in a foreign land and under the rule of a fierce taskmaster. The Israelites found themselves in an unbearable circumstance; God said, “I have come down and have heard their cry, and have seen their sorrows, and surely I have seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt because of their taskmasters. Israel was brought into Egypt under the providence of their God when one of their sons, Joseph, was elevated to second in command over all of Egypt. During the famine God miraculously provided, and gave the Children of Israel great favor with Pharaoh and the Egyptians. When Jacob brought his family down into Egypt he was a highly respected man and had gained great stature. He was a wealthy man and they were a free people. Through Joseph, one of Jacob’s sons, Pharaoh gave Israel a prime fertile reservation in the land of Goshen. The children of Israel prospered and became extremely comfortable, living as first class citizens. In the process of time Joseph, Pharaoh’s Visor or second ruler, died and there was a new King that took over the nation of Egypt. It was during this time that we begin to see the emergence of a satanly inspired highly structured government. The Pharaohic system had gained control and ownership of most of the land through Joseph’s “land for food” policies initiated during the great famine. In ancient Egypt the people believed pharaoh was god incarnate, and that he ruled by divine right. The kingship was always passed on to the eldest son in order to maintain strong control, and pharaoh ruled a strong central government. Today Pharaoh has been a synonym for rule characterized by slavery and tyranny. Pharaoh and his system were the tools of Satan. We can see the emergence of satanic rule through the headship of a powerful king pharaoh. A domestic treasury was developed and acquisition of property by the government, a strong military, a system of health care, government sponsored religion, judicial, and law and order. Pharaoh’s motivation did not come from a benevolent love for his people, but his acts were inspired by fear, jealousy, and prejudice of a free people who would threaten his control over the country. He feared that this free people would ally themselves with his opposition and instigate free thinking and undermine his political agenda. His jealousy was fueled by the blessing and prosperity that these people were demonstrating in his country. He feared they would become more powerful then he, and would influence his people to seek what they had (which is YHWH). Enslavement came very subtly. It began with dependence. Israel was legally given a reservation in Egypt, and was permitted to live and prosper on this free land, (similar to our domestic dependent nations of Indians). Initially, Israel was given enough grain to live on, and they were allowed to maintain their livestock on government land (government subsistence). Israel began to look to and depend on Pharaoh for all of their sustenance (a domestically dependent people). They forgot the blessings of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They forgot their heritage, their divine inheritance of walking with YHWH through faith. Finally, they lost their identity of who they where and who God created them to be as a free people, and they began to identify with Pharaoh and Egyptian culture. They began to take on the Egyptian customs, developed Egyptian dietary habits, and even put on the garments of Egyptian society. They were integrated into Egyptian society; today we call it assimilation, or being absorbed into the larger culture. It amazes me to see our Native American young people identify with black culture, Chicano culture, prison culture, White culture, but never have any idea of their own identity. In the book of Exodus we can find where Israel was stripped of their cultural symbols and identity, and replaced them with the jewelry and symbols of their host country. The traditional occupation of the Israelites was that of herdsman; as herdsmen they had become independently wealth, but finally they lost their traditional profession. Finally, they gave up their own self defense. As herdsmen they had developed their own militia and were capable of raising up a significant army capable of defending their own self interests. It was the political conspiracy Satan had initiated to develop institutional policies that would destroy Israel’s identity and reduce them to sniveling slaves. Pharaoh knew that in order to accomplish his goals it would be necessary to introduce propaganda that would brainwash his people. To do this, he instigated fear in the populace to produce racial prejudice toward this growing threat in their midst. He manipulated public opinion in order to develop policies, and programs that would strip Israel of its initiative, and independence, and reduce them into a condition of dependence. The conspiracy to consolidate Pharaoh’s power was to stop; 1. Population growth 2. Reduce political strength 3. Suppress independent thought and free speech 4. To profit from the enslavement of a people. After depleting the herds of the Israelites, and to help fight poverty, the benevolent Pharaoh instituted a public works project that would employ every able bodied man; his plan was to channel the energy, talent, and strength of this people into consolidating more power for his government. He hired the men to work in government work crews, and I am sure that in the beginning he offered them good wages, and convinced them that building the pyramids was a worthwhile and a good project to work on. The Israelites were anxious to please pharaoh and to repay him, because they were grateful for him taking them in and giving them a piece of land (reservation) to live on. The all compassionate Pharaoh, who knew what the people needed more than they did; took the normally independent people and put them under taskmasters, slowly, the work load and burdens increased. We have evidence in the bible that he even used their own people against them, by integrating the people into low level governmental and supervisory positions. These representatives of the government began to lay the law down; I have seen Indian people serving in bureaucratic positions, and on tribal councils enforcing the will of the government. These governmental hacks are harder on their own people than any White man ever was. Slowly the burdens increased on them until they were unable to think like free people. This public works program eventually turned into a forced labor camp, a form of government induced trauma. Trauma opens the door to anxiety, stress, oppression, substance abuse, and the breakdown of family structure. We can see the Israelites beginning to oppress one another, squabbling, and infighting. The people's lives were reduced to hardship and bitterness. Satan has always relished the slaughter of innocents. From the very beginning he has attempted to destroy the image of God in His crown jewel of creation, and how much better if he can destroy that image before it ever comes into this world. Satan is the chief terrorist and a notorious baby killer. He hates the image of God that is in humanity. This is where abortion and birth control originate and has gained acceptance in the governmental systems throughout history. Satan tampers with the seed of man in order to deform and weaken the human family and to mar the image of God in man. Pharaoh introduces governmental mandated birth control by instituting a policy to destroy every new born male child in Israel. Through his government supported health care system of midwives He orders them to kill all male babies immediately upon coming out of the birth channel. The midwives in good conscience cannot carry out this directive forcing Pharaoh to order the army to go out and kill every male child under the age of two years old. This policy of terror empowered the army to go into the homes of the Israelite families and to forcefully remove their children (sounds like the boarding schools). Pharaoh’s policy was designed to reduce population growth as the Israelites birth rate far outpaced that of the Egyptians. The root of prejudice and hatred work at reducing population, and instituting legalized abortion. Is there anything more insidious than the hatred of our unborn children? Have you ever noticed how birth control and abortion policies go hand in hand with homosexuality and the gay agenda? The reason homosexuals hate pro creation is because it proves to them, that homosexual union is illegitimate, and that they are not a legitimate people group, but a perversion of nature. A famous man once said, “He who fails to understand history is bound to repeat it” (my own paraphrase). I am afraid that history is about to repeat itself in our generation. Pharaoh’s rule is once again emerging and is about to be re imposed upon the world. In our own country we can see the same old satanically inspired dynamics repeating themselves in the policies and institution of our democratic government. Don't be hoodwinked by slick politicians that promise all of your needs will be met by the government.

SOCIALISTIC IDOLATRY

I am sorry to say that my life has been a part of the grand experiment of socialism in the United States. I was born and raised and have spent the most part of my life living on reservations. I have lived on four reservations and have ministered on dozens of others. They are all the same and display the same poverty characteristics and problems. The main problem I see is the pythons grip of socialism that has decayed the talents and initiative of our Native People. Right now we are being set up for another round of disappointment and failure with the emergence of Barak Obama. Now I love Barak and would love to see him become president, but I can see the writting on the wall. Beneath the messianic image and rhetorical hype Barak offers empty promises of more government intervention and control over the lives of Indian People. Barak inspires images of robbing the rich to take care of the poor; images of more government programs (we are domestically dependent nations). Unfortunately, the government socialism experiment on our reservations has done nothing but destroy my people. The problem with taking from the rich to give to the poor results in everybody becoming poor, even the tribal governments. Tribal governments do not generate enough income to pay for themselves, they are a poverty entity and they perpetuate the socialist system to perpetuate their own existance. Indian people we don't need tribal councils! On reservations the Tribe owns the businesses. Anytime an enterprising individual tries to stand up they are slapped down with tribal regulations, federal regulations, state regulations, county regulations, tax regulations, and if Barak has his way United Nations regulations. On the reservation the government runs and owns the housing. A couple of years ago my son and I built the first privately financed house, in our home town ,that has been built in many years. On the rez we have government run health care. They tell you what treatmants you can receive and if it is not in the budget to pay for your care you are not allowed the treatment. You stand in line for services (literally stand in line). Now I am thankful for the health care I receive, but for you America there is a better way. On the rez we are waiting for the next tribal program to help us out. We are a shell of an economy. If you want socialism, I am telling you, it is a trap to lower the standard of living for every American, and to empower the elite few, who know better, to tell us what is best for us.

"HEALING THE LAND"

Romans 8:21 "Creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption"

I have been amazed at the lack of attention and insight of the modern Christian community concerning THE HEALING OF THE LAND! Romans chapter eight makes it clear that the whole creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. I have found in scrpture that healing the land is a vital part of redemption; I believe that it will be God's sons who will restore the blessing that the Creator intended for His creation. It is not hard to figure out that creation is convulsing and revolting because of the defilement of its inhabitants. So called eco-scientists are calling for worldwide reduction in carbon emissions and pollution to stem global warminig. But let me tell you it is not because of the car you are driving nor your carbon footprint; no, it is because of your sins. The Spirit tells us that the land is defiled; and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants (Lev 18:25). The land is defiled when man refuses to worship the one true Creator God, YHWH, and turns to other idolatrous practices, such as; idolatry, the worship of riches, innocent bloodshed, sexual perversions, and broken covenants (Isai 24:5). These are some of the root causes for the defilement of the land which gives legal ground for the demonic to gain a foothold and to operate in the local cultures (Jer 23:10). This also includes institutionalized demonic strongholds. Defilements layered on top of each other and the curse of original sin lends to an earth that is reeling under a load that is ready to topple. Now the question of why the church has not paid more attention to bringing the redemptive promise to the land? First of all, the church is blinded to God's redemptive purpose for the land. Blindness has come in part because she is complicit in promoting defilement and corruption through the support and promotion of the Doctrine of Discovery and colonialism. If the church were to understand God's redemptive purpose for the land hidden sins would be uncovered and that would embarrace Christian religious hirarchies and expose religious doctrine that empowers greed and the illegal occupation of the land. Can you immagine the church telling its financial supporters to repent and to give the land back to God? Instead the churches preach a feel good message that never exposes the real issues that defile the land and cause revival to tarry. Give me a call when you decide to get serious about the Kingdom of God, until then hold on tight because this old earth is going to take us for a ride.

JACK PINE PEOPLE

After returning from a visit to my home reservation I was troubled by intense feelings of despair, and a sense of never wanting to go back again. What I had seen and heard while there triggered a pessimistic attitude that things are never going to change nor can they. I am certain I am not the only person with feelings of frustration toward my home land and my people. A lady recently shared a vision she had received from God; that people were driving aimlessly up and down the streets, including Christian people, and gigantic birds, looking like pelicans, would swoop down and devour individuals from off the streets. People die every week in my home town but even more tragic are the living who have lost their souls to prolonged overwhelming depression. Empty eyes stare straight ahead hoping to score some fry bread. Iron bars strangled grip enclose with grief, despair, and overwhelming depression. It is a cycle of fatalistic abandonment due to historical experience of continuous disappointment and prolonged overwhelming depression that has become a prison to our reservation people. Its more serious than you think. We are Jack Pine people. The Jack Pine never grows straight and tall because of the continual beating of hurricane force winds and frigid weather. Jack Pines stays close to the ground, crooked and twisted. Jack Pine may be very ancient in age but has never reached a state of maturity. What's worse is that we think it is normal! That's the way it is and we have settled for a life of abuse and misuse at the hands of our dysfunctional leaders, whether they be secular or religious. The problem with fatalistic abandonment and accepting dysfunction as normal is that unresolved issues such as grief, stress, and trauma manifest in ways that are harmful to a person's and societies' well being. It is a downward spiral that only lends itself to infestation of demons and devils and all sorts of oppression. Unfortunately, long term abuse and misuse experienced at the hands of historic leadership, both tribal and federal, has eroded hope into a state of disappointment and faithlessness. Indian people have fallen into the web of iniquity and idolatry by creating a baseless hope that the state will be their ultimate agent of redemption. We have been beaten down like an abused wife until we think we deserve a good beating and that we are unworthy of anything more than what we have. Until the people throw off the blind mans mantle and abandon themselves to Jesus and take personal ownership of their futures I am afraid there is little hope for recovery. However, in spite of my pessimism I still hold on to hope; not in the government, not in the tribal council, but in the hope that God has created my people for His purposes, that there is a redeeming value in the Blackfeet people that is worth saving. God created us for a purposes and for His pleasure.
