Heal Our Land

 

In the 1914 publication of the 1912 Barnhill-Tichenor Debate on Socialism, in which Henry M. Tichenor, a socialist thinker, and John Basil Barnhill, an anti-socialist writer, debated socialism in a series of essays. In "Indictment of Socialism No. 3," Barnhill listed a series of points. Indictment of Socialism No. 3, By John Basil Barnhill: “When my Sweatbox has failed to effect a cure - and I have rarely known it to fail - I have recourse then to a series of knockout drops, a few of which are here appended: 1. Where the people fear the government, you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people, you have liberty. 2. The surest way to make a scoundrel out of a saint is to give him the power of spending other people's money and Socialism would multiply infinitely such opportunities. (The first one is a quote, often mistakenly attributed to Thomas Jefferson).

Our republic form of government, where the citizen rules over the elected, is constantly be referred to as a democracy, which is that form of government ruled by the popular vote. We do not live in a democracy! Our democracy is not being threatened by anything! But today our republic is being ignored by those who want to rule over the people through “pork-barrel” legislation, non-elected “bullies” and the empowering of NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organizations). The “land of the free and home of the brave” is being trampled on and destroyed by Marxist and Communistic influences silencing the honest, hard-working, capitalistic society America is known for. The tax-paying, voting public is being hoodwinked into believing that there is a better society awaiting them and it can all be done without the Creator. Just start doing whatever feels good to you – damn society.

[Jeremiah 18:1-12] The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying: "Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My words." Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?" says the LORD. "Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it. "Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good."'" And they said, "That is hopeless! So, we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one obey the dictates of his evil heart."

Once upon a time American’s allowed the Word of God to form and sustain a republic form of government that was faithful to and obeyed God with fear and its citizens lived moral upright lives. But we are being told that that kind of life in “unsustainable.” Family is burdensome and capitalism is nothing but slavery 2.0. Is this where America is today? "That is hopeless! So, we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one obey the dictates of his evil heart." (2 Chronicles 7:13-14) God promised once and that promise holds true today. We as a people must repent and pray or lose our country. VOTE!
