Rise Up and Hear The Call, It's Time To Take A Stand With God!

God is calling his body to order, the true church. God’s people have much to do before being joined to our Lords army. This new movement will be powerful, quick, discerning and the final call that will change lives. The world, the government and state will be fearful of this new powerful church, for it will expose deception and lies that keep people from adhering to God’s statutes. This true church will speak against the status quo and as a result be persecuted. This powerful body, God’s church, will be called evil, haters of the world establishment that has come to kill, steal and destroy. But, the church will bind together as one and abide in God’s Word. As Jesus told the believers, "If you abide in My Word then you are truly disciples of mine; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32.

This country was founded upon the principles of Christianity. Our forefathers came to this land as a result of living with tyranny and oppressive conditions against its peoples and the Christian faith. Once here, they banded together and agreed upon a Constitution that would forever protect them against the possibilities of a tyrannical government that would try to hinder their worship of the One True God, that being God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. They agreed upon and wrote out the Constitution, thus established the law. They then refined their desires with amendments, with the very first one, again, expounding upon freedom of religion.

The first amendment to the Constitution reads as follows: "Congress shall make no law with regard to an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Congress shall make no law with regard to an establishment of religion; no law with regard to prohibiting the free exercise thereof; no law with regard to depriving, diminishing, curtailing or condensing the freedom of speech or press of an established religion; no law with regard to prohibiting the right of the people to peaceably assemble; and no law with regard to prohibiting these people from petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. It is plain to see that our forefathers wanted no government involvement, in any way, within the practice of their faith. They were free to worship because they learned the destructive power of tyranny and broke away to another land to guarantee that they could fulfill their faith, purpose and relationship with the One True God.

This law and amendment established the separation between their church and the government or state. But, we must remember that the people who wrote the Constitution, with its amendments, were believers in the One True God. Therefore, if they were elected and chosen for positions in the government, there was no separation of church and state, for they the church, were the state. Their law (the Constitution) established that this government could not, ever, create and force tyranny upon the free desire of Christians to practice their faith and belief in God. At that time, they were in pretty good control, for the state and the church were one, but, they thought far enough ahead to the time when those in elected positions would not believe in God and adhere to His statutes. And the time has long sense come to pass that our government now has more non-believers than believers. And, many who claim to be believers do not live the life that a true believer in God must live. As a result, laws have been passed that directly effect Christian principles and God’s statutes, which are contrary to the first amendment. These new laws have superceded the written law of our founding fathers Constitution, a document written through ongoing divine influence.

This problem was not caused strictly by the government, but also by the church. The mainline church and its members have allowed the way of the world into the church body. How could this be, you ask? Well, God’s statutes and commandments have been forgotten. Yes, they are still being taught in the church, but, they are not being adhered unto. God’s Word says that we are to "Trust in the Lord with all our heart, lean not unto our own understanding, in all of our ways acknowledge Him and he shall direct our paths". Proverb 3:5-6. Unfortunately the people of God have become worldly and have placed their trust in man and rejected trust in the God of their creation. This change did not start easily. The ways of the system of good and evil realized it would take time to succeed, but, God and His people will defeat the enemy for Jesus has provided the way.

America was founded upon the principles of God, knowing the way of Jesus. These principles caused men to want to live in a free environment, being in the world but not of the world. This country grew, based not only on the principles of God, but through these principles they were given lives of freedom and liberty. As the years went on and time passed, as new people would come to this free land, they came to realize that they had many free rights not being experienced anywhere else. As people continued to arrive in these United States of America and as the population continued to grow, the fact that all persons had rights, seemed to be predominate. This was wonderful. Due to the people’s desires to adhere to the principles of God, a country arose granting its people freedom with rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now remember, this all came about due to the desires of the people to worship the One True God without tyranny and oppressive conditions brought upon them by and through government and state interference. But, again, over time, the right to freedom and the liberty to worship God took on a new character. This free country provided liberty and rights to people found nowhere else. This wonderful, free country, not only allowed people the right to worship their One True God, it allowed its people many rights not found anywhere else in the world. As the population increased and people had different ideas, they were free to express them, after all, this was a free country and its people have this right to expression, which we still do today. [ to a point – isn’t that strange ] But, this land of the free, to worship and live by the principles of the One True God has turned into a free land, giving people rights that have overtaken the principles of God. What am I saying? The principles of God have taken a back seat to the rights of the people. The belief of people’s rights has crept into the churches. The rights of the people have become worldly, yes, worldly. Our forefathers were Christians. They believed in the principles of God’s Word. God’s Word says to live by His Word. Tyranny and oppressive governments forced them to find a place in this world where they could worship their One True God. God’s Word says to separate thyself from this world. Be ye separate says the Lord. Separate from the likes of the world. Be Ye Holy, for I Am Holy. Our forefathers founded these lands for the RIGHT to be separated from this world, that they may become more like Him. That is the only RIGHT that these United States were founded upon. The RIGHT to ACCEPT GOD or to REJECT GOD is the only TRUE RIGHT that we have in these states that were founded upon the principles of God. As a matter of fact, this right to accept God or reject the one and only true God is the only true right of all people throughout the entire world.

Now, because the many rights of the people have become more predominant, all that is associated with freedom of rights have become a way of life. This way of life, although free, has become worldly and no longer separated unto God. This way of peoples rights, have been taught in our schools and perpetuated in our courts to such a degree that the principles of our One True God can not be expressed to anyone who does not want to hear them. Now, the people have a RIGHT, a LEGAL RIGHT, to REJECT the principles of God. This way of rights of the people has progressed to such a degree that church people have the right to interpret Gods words differently. Because they can interpret Gods word differently, they can look at His principles differently. If they look at His principles differently they have a right to live differently. The variations of interpreting Gods principles and statutes have caused Gods word to be watered down. This watering down of Gods word has caused the way of the world to enter into the church. Many, many denominational leaders, pastors and ministers, do not want to tackle any of this information. To do so would cause them to expound upon the watered principles and statutes of God. To expound upon the everlasting principles would call for a crack down upon the way people live, these ways being contrary to Gods principles. This might cause many to leave their church. This may cause them to admit to the ways that they are living, which are contrary to God’s commanded ways. These statements are not a put down but a call to rise up to what God wants us all to be.

Woe unto them that draw iniquity with the cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope. Isaiah 5:18 Here is a warning to those who pull sin and judgments onto themselves as with strong cart ropes...who, through a deliberate, strong, heavy pulling on the cords of falsehood and vanity strive to increase themselves. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight! Woe to those that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink; who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. For they have rejected God’s Law and God’s Grace. Isaiah 5:20-24.

The rights of the people of this wonderful land have overtaken the commandments of God. This has caused a watering down of Gods principles and allowed its way into the churches. Many, many are aware of this but have not been able to confront the truth. This applies to our government and our churches.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3.

The principles of God are the foundations on which Faith and Hope of the righteous are built. Therefore, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7;14.

He is stating that the seeking of my face,is to turn unto Me and My Ways- Know what I stand for and who I Am.
