(2 Chronicles 15:6, Psalms 137:1)The fallout from taking on Romney, the Mormons, and several leading
evangelical leaders. Even though my life is very interesting every day,
virtually non-stop in doing all I can to bring God's Truth and the hope of
Christ to the lost and hurting masses outside of the church, the past 72
hours have been interesting times 100. What I have been dealing with since
Friday's Devotional on how a vote for Romney is a vote for satan and the
growing number of leading evangelical Christian leaders who are supporting
this satanic cult member's bid to become our next President, can very
instructive for your life. It is the number one reason most people never
take much of a stand for their faith, or even witness to the people in their
life. There is a price to pay for taking a stand for Christ in a world that
rejects the Lord. However, the one thing I want you to never forget is that
it is not man you have to please, but God. One day you will die, and at
that moment, it is not a man you will stand before....it is God!
The response to Friday's Devotional was pretty much what I expected. Alex
Burgos, a spokesman for the Romney campaign said, "I guess what I can tell
you is it shows that bigotry can still rear its ugly head in society. It's
sad that anyone would target a fellow American on the issue of faith." Ah,
the "b" word. If I had a dime for every time I have been called a bigot in
the past 72 hours Liveprayer would be funded for the next 5 years! I've
told you for years now that the way those who oppose the cause of Christ try
to silence those who have the audacity to shine the light of His Truth on
their lies is to attack them. If you speak out against the sin of
homosexuality you are called a hate monger. If you call abortion what it
is, murder, you are called intolerant. If you speak out against the cults
and false religions of the world you are called close minded. Nobody I know
wants to be called any off these things and even worse, so it has proven to
be a very effective tactic to verbally assault people of faith who do speak
out, and try to intimidate them into silence. Sadly, most of the time it
works!
*Be honest. When was the last time you failed to speak up to defend your
faith because you simply didn't want to take the grief you knew would
follow???
For the nearly 8 years I have been writing the Daily Devotional and the over
4 years of doing the TV program, some of the most viscous attacks on our
technical infrastructure, on me personally, have come when I expose the lies
of the satanic Mormon cult. This time was no different, except it was at an
unprecedented level of ferociousness since I was taking on their greatest
hope to capture the most powerful office in the world. We had our website
and servers attacked relentlessly all weekend. I've received 12 death
threats so far in addition to the scores of emails telling me that "someone
will visit me when I least expect it." I refuse to live in fear and having
dealt with these types of threats for the past 8 years, have learned how to
use the common sense the Lord gave me and ultimately trust Him to watch over
me as I serve Him each day.
Even though I expected it, what made me saddest of all were the brutal
attacks by those who identified themselves as Christians. People totally
outraged that I would attack such a good man and brother in Christ (meaning
Romney). This is why I do my best each day to expose the lies of the world
so you are not as ignorant as the vast majority of Believers. This devious
and deceptive cult has done a masterful job of selling the lie that they are
"just another Christian church." A Mormon is no more a Christian than a
Muslim is. The god and jesus born out of the rebellious mind of Joey Smith
are NOT the God and Jesus of the Bible! The false theology of Mormonism is
in 100% contradiction to Biblical Christianity. There is only one Truth,
and if Mormonism is true than Christianity is a lie. I was not shocked,
only saddened by how many who claim to be Christians are so deceived, so
ignorant, that they think a Mormon is a Christian.
It was also sad to see just how many people are influenced, have their
thoughts and views shaped by TELEVISION! If there was ever a case for why
God has given me this passion, this drive to get the TV program back on
nationwide, this was a classic example. I wish you could have read all of
the emails over the past few days, the ones still pouring in, from people
who parroted virtually word for word what they have heard from people like
Sean Hannity and many who reach the masses on secular TV and radio and
support Romney. Hannity is on record stating that anyone who attacks Romney
for being a Mormon is a hate monger. The emails poured in from people who
have been brainwashed by those they listen to on TV and radio who make the
case for Romney that it doesn't matter that he is a Mormon, that he has
great family values, that he is the best choice there is for a Republican to
win the White House in '08.
This is another perfect example of how critical it is to have a program that
is on every day, reaching the nation with a Biblical worldview. So many
people, even Christians, have their thoughts and views shaped by what they
hear on TV, and there is NOBODY with a nationwide platform on secular
television who is dealing with the issues of this world and in people's
lives from a Biblical worldview!
The legitimate question that this has also raised is who to vote for in '08.
As in the past, I refuse to tell you who to vote for, that is a choice YOU
have to make. However, let me give you this guidance. No person who is
serious about their faith can vote for a person who is going to support the
killing of babies. No person who is serious about their faith can vote for
a person who is gong to support redefining God's Holy Institution of
Marriage. No person who is serious about heir faith can vote for a person
who is part of a satanic cult since that person will give mainstream
credibly to that cult which will lead people to join and end up in hell for
rejecting Jesus Christ. That makes this upcoming presidential election a
very difficult choice since it is almost a certainty that the nominee from
both parties will support killing babies, possibly gay marriage, and be the
member of a satanic cult if Romney wins the Republican nomination. So who
to vote for?
As you know I am a huge advocate of Christians taking their stand in all
areas of the marketplace, including politics. Most likely our only real
option will be choosing a third party candidate who will take a stand to
uphold Biblical values. I already know that in this two party system we
have, a third party candidate has virtually ZERO chance of ever being
elected. However, this election is going to be a test of conscience for
Christians. Do they compromise and vote for the "lesser of two evils," or
as some will call it, throw away their vote by voting for a third party
candidate who has no chance of winning? As I said, this will be a real test
of conscience for Christians unless a strong man who will take a stand for
Biblical values comes out of nowhere to win the Republican nomination.
(Sadly, the Democratic Party will never put forth a nominee who doesn't
support killing babies.)
Let me share this with you. Given that the next President is NOT going to
be a friend of God and Biblical values, this will be a tremendous
opportunity to see this nation come back to God and for many souls to be won
to Christ. I have told you often that it will not be a politician but a
preacher who will lead this nation back to God. With a President who will
not lead this nation in any way spiritually, this is going to force true men
and women God who can not be bought or influenced, who don't care about
money or the temporal power of this world, to rise up and lead this nation
spiritually. This nation is going to suffer and will be looking for hope
and answers, and the Bible and Jesus are the ONLY true hope and answer there
is!!!
I love you and care about you so much. Let me say a HUGE THANK YOU to so
many in the Liveprayer family who have emailed me with your love and
prayers. I can't even begin to tell you how much your kind words of support
have meant. The strength I received from knowing how many of you were
praying for me helped me get through some very long days. In the midst of
the death threats, the threats of physical harm, the nasty and vicious
attacks on me personally, came the love and prayers of so many in the
Liveprayer family. No matter how strong we think we are, we are still flesh
and blood, week frail humans. I have such great confidence each day in this
work God has called me to knowing that you are there with me, standing with
me, taking the time out of your busy lives to pray for me. THANK YOU!
In announcing last week that I would be dealing with Romney this past
Friday, I heard from one of the top 10 donors of Liveprayer who over the
past few years has given between $70,000 and $100,000 each year. He and his
family have been blessed by God and have made the sacrifice to support what
Liveprayer is doing each day in millions of lives. He called me and told me
his family was very active in Romney's campaign and that if I spoke
negatively about Romney he would not be able to support me any longer. I
told him that I understood and took the time to explain my concerns with
Romney being part of a satanic cult and why I felt he was such a danger to
the eternal souls of people if he got elected. I told him that as much as I
respected him, I could not withhold or water down this important message
warning people of what it will mean if Romney became President. I also
reminded him that he is giving to God, not Bill Keller, thanked him for his
sacrifice for the Lord's work here, prayed for him and his family and asked
God's blessings on them.
I heard from many more who said they would no longer give to Liveprayer as
well as those who unsubscribed from the Daily Devotional But that is OK, I
deal with this all the time. God is the one who has raised up this last
day's work, God is the one who moves on peoples hearts to give, and God is
the one who can replace what this one family and these others give each year
with others in the Liveprayer family who will be burdened for a true work of
God that is about saving souls. This ministry has literally operating month
to month since we started 92 months ago. There are no reserves, no real
estate, no safety net of any kind. As I sit here this very moment, we still
need $60,000 just to pay the rest of May's expenses and I have no idea where
that will come from. Actually I do. God will move on hearts to provide.
Who, how, when, I can't tell you. I just know that my job is to be faithful
for today and God will handle those things outside of my control!
Here is the bottom line to this whole Romney issue. What too many people,
especially the people who have been reading what I said in the press can't
comprehend is that this is not about politics, this is about SOULS! My
frustration with the many evangelical leaders who are supporting Romney is
that they have forgotten that God raised them up to lead people in the
eternal things of God, not the temporal things of this world. Why men of
God, great groups like the Southern Baptist Convention are willing to
support a man who is part of a satanic cult is beyond my ability to
comprehend. I realize he is running to be the commander-in-chief, not the
theologian-in-chief. I realize that he has a great marriage, great kids,
and says he will stand for family values. He actually might be one of the
best men there is to be President and lead this nation.
Even if all of that was 100% true, it is still no excuse to support a man
who is part of a satanic cult, whose election to the most powerful office on
the planet will give worldwide credibility to that satanic cult, will cause
millions of people to join their ranks, and ultimately cause them to die in
their sins and spend eternity in hell! His candidacy alone has already been
a non-stop infomercial for the Mormon cult! I am not saying to abandoned
the political arena, quite the opposite. We must have a presence and be
heard in all areas of life. However, we must never forget that we go into
everything we do in this life guided ultimately by eternal goals, not
earthly goals.
I REFUSE TO TRADE IN A FEW YEARS OF POLITICAL POWER IN THIS WORLD THAT WILL
ONE DAY SOON NO LONGER EXIST FOR THE ETERNAL SOULS OF THOSE WHO WILL END UP
JOINING THE MORMON CULT AND BURN IN HELL!
