When I was a young man of 21 years of age I heard the voice of Jesus say to me, “come follow me” My answer to Him was, “yes Lord I will follow you”.

I learned rather quickly one cannot follow Jesus by walking in the direction that most of the world is traveling, one cannot follow Jesus by standing in the middle of the road and going nowhere and one cannot get to where Jesus is by turning back to the direction they came out of.

If I am to reach my final destination in Heaven then I will have to walk day by day hand in hand with Jesus never turning back never stopping where I am, but walking the straight and narrow path every day that leads to eternal life in Heaven.

I will have to listen as He speaks to me and I will have to follow His orders as He directs the steps that I take in my life.

When I was counted among the working class I worked for many different companies over the years and I had many bosses that asked me to do many things in the behalf of the company. But when bosses orders were in conflict with Gods orders my decision was to follow Gods word and not man’s orders.

In these troubled times that America is traveling in we are here because we stopped listening to the voice of God and began to follow in the direction of man. This is exactly what happened to the first man Adam and it caused him to be evicted from the beautiful Garden of Eden that God made for him. He chose to listen and obey another voice instead of God.

In our nation today many are going in the wrong direction, many are standing in the middle of the road not knowing which direction to go and many have turned back to the direction that will cost their freedom and return them to the rule of government and enslave them in obedience to man’s orders causing us to lose this beautiful country and the freedoms that it was founded on.

God gave us this wonderful country to live in freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We can continue to ignore His voice and continue the way we are going that will surely return America to what it was before our forefathers broke free from the tyrants of Great Britain giving their life’s blood in great battle to give us a free country with a Declaration of Independence and a constitution that guarantees freedom of the people as long as it is enforced and kept exactly the way it was written.

Or we can begin listening to the word and the voice of Almighty God we can make our decision to follow his leading and our country can be saved and healed from the destructive forces that are now at work and in control of it.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

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.

C.E.Lee an American Patriot

America’s enemies

America’s enemies have found an effective way to destroy our country and the things that have made us the greatest nation in the world for over 236 years.

The weapon they are using is division by dividing us they can conquer us and destroy us and the principals that made us a great nation from the time our forefathers signed our wonderful constitution allowing us to be governed of the people, by the people, and for the people,

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

This is why we must work together to become a more organized united Christian Patriot body standing strong against what our government and so many in our nation have caused it to become.

God has given us an opportunity through prayer and unity to defeat the enemies of America.

If we will join together as one body having one mind and speaking with one voice there is still

Enough true American patriots here to return our country to the faith it once had the morality it once had and the greatness it once was.

Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

I Corinthians 1:10

We can have healing of America the moment we heed the call of God throughout the nation:

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version (KJV)

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.

 

Many have become insane lunatics in their desire to control

Sitting here pulling from somewhere in my brain old memories of my child hood.

I remember as a boy of eight or nine years of age I received a pair of genuine Roy Rogers’s six shooters and holsters with lots of Ammo for Christmas.

Many of my friends and classmates received the same maybe there was a few that got the Gene Autry version.

On our first day back to school after Christmas holidays we proudly wore our shiny new toys to school strapped around our hips all day long to show off.

We played Cowboys and Indians good guys and bad guys throughout the summer months. The absolute best Christmas gift a young boy of the late 1940’s could ever get.

We have come a long way in America since then children today would be and are expelled from school for even having a paper gun cutout or pointing a pretzel stick. 

We have lost the joy of living because of the fear of not being politically correct.

I think we live in a time when many have become insane lunatics in their desire to control.

 

A ban on Guns will not stop the senseless killing in our schools or the murder in our streets.

Returning to the God whom our forefathers worshiped, served and trusted is what we need to do.

 Removing the ban on teaching the Holy Bible in schools and allowing a return to prayer in the class rooms will. Teaching our children the Ten Commandments handed down by God will do more to stop the violence in America than passing laws that violate our civil rights and break our constitution.

It is not Guns that produce murderers and violence in our nation. It is the absence of God in people’s lives.

Unbelief is the sin that pulls us under

When I was a young man of about 26 years old me my wife and our two children were with my brother in law and his family on his pontoon boat enjoying a beautiful summer day cruising the Ohio River.

I decided to take a swim so I leaped off the boat into the water I floated a few feet from the boat the river seemed to be calm. I swam out a little further and suddenly the water was swirling under my body pulling me under the current was so strong that my every stroke did nothing to lift me above its force.

I was being sucked under I was screaming for help but the folks on the boat either could not hear me or thought I was just having fun.

I was going under and struggling to keep my head above water my physical strength was giving out I had no one to help me. I cried out Jesus help me and suddenly I felt as if I was being carried back to the pontoon. My brother in law Jim helped me to get back on the boat while I was praising God for saving me from drowning and letting me live.

I will never forget that day it is locked into my mind forever I learned a very important lesson that day.  I have lived my life by it every day since. When I have a serious problem I put my trust in Jesus and throughout these many years that He has let me live He has never failed to come to my aid many times even before I know  that I am in trouble and need His help.

It is faith in the word and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

That makes the difference of whether we fall and are crushed under the circumstances of our lives.

Or rise and stand above them.

Unbelief is the sin that pulls us under.

Faith in Jesus is the assurance that His power will lift us above every obstacle and circumstance that would destroy us.

How can you forgive ?

An answer to my grandsons question.

Papa I wanna ask you how can you forgive a guy that goes into a classroom and shoot kids N his mom . Then kills himself and gets the easy way out . However facing god for the grief of families and the sins he has committed? For me personally I .." hate him " and I don't hate . Is it ok to hate someone who did that . Should I still feel angered ? And want to have guns now to protect myself ? Should I think like that ?

Matt Blackburn

 

Grandson it is never ok to hate anyone Jesus taught us to love everyone even our enemies. It is alright however to hate the sins committed and the evil that tempted them to happen. We can forgive them in the same Spirit of Jesus that lives within us that same spirit that spoke from His lips while His last human breath left His body. You see it wasn’t the cross he was nailed to that killed Him it was evil and wicked men that tortured Him crucified Him. Their murder weapons were nails driven through His flesh a spear piercing His side allowing His pure innocent blood to flow from His body. He gave up His life in this world speaking these last words:

Father, forgive them.

Luke 23:33-35

King James Version (KJV)

³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

³⁴ Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

The Bible tells us that it is alright to be angry but not to let anger cause us to sin.

Ephesians 4:26

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

As far as your question about guns, guns were invented to allow us a means for protection from foreign and internal enemies that would attack us and place us and our family’s lives and possessions at risk. The reason for having them is to keep thiefs, robbers and killers from taking what is rightfully ours from us by force. And our constitution allows us the right as American citizens to own them and use them in protecting ourselves from a government of tyrants and dictators if they should gain power over our political offices and begin to take away our freedoms and oppress our peoples.

But however guns are just like any of the other inventions that we have and use in today’s world they can be used for good or evil. Just like the nails used in taking Jesus’s life from Him were also used for good in building homes and furniture. How they are used is up to the individual and no one can control an evil persons intentions. But we do have the right to own guns to protect ourselves from evil.

Matt, I hope I have answered your questions in an understanding way me and grandma loves you very much.

The state of the union

I am sharing my thoughts about the state of the union.

People we are living in serious times that require serious thinking from serious people.

 In order to survive the assault of the enemies of our freedoms we cannot surrender even one of our weapons of defense.

 These weapons are faith in God that created us, faith in His word that promises us victory over all enemies that would oppress us, prayer for His intervention in our times of crisis and yes our guns.

All were used successfully in defeating our past enemies and allowing the founding of our great country by our forefathers all of whom were men, women and children of faith who stood united and fought for their freedoms from oppressive government and enemies of freedom.

United they were.

If we are to continue a free and independent nation blessed of God unlike any other in the world we are going to have to hold fast to our American constitution as it was written  observed and kept by our ancestors .

it’s going to have to be UNITED WE ARE!!!

Mark 3:24-27

King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

²⁵ And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

²⁶ And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

²⁷ No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

Jesus Christ
