“Mostly Peaceful” Seas and Waves Roaring written by Terry James

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A significant prophetic indicator is in full view that warrants notice at this late hour of this dispensation. Jesus Himself gave it as part of His Olivet Discourse:

Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. (Luke 21:24–25)

Memory doesn’t have to go far back into recent history to remember how hatred for President Donald J. Trump caused great rioting in the streets of America.

We remember how reporters for mainstream news stood in front of all the rioting. In the background, buildings, cop cars, and even the so-called Church of Presidents in Washington, D.C., were burning.

President Trump and his family and staff had to evacuate the upper floors of the White House and go underground to avoid danger of being assaulted by the raging rioters just outside White House grounds.

The reporters told us that the protests were “mostly peaceful,” even though there were serious injuries and total destruction in some instances.

There was true insurrection from anti-American evil organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa. These were given by mainstream news media the façade of legitimacy—of being ”peaceful organizations” conducting “legitimate protests”—while, in actuality, the rioters tried to tear the nation apart and create chaos.

Yet, in the case when President Trump, who had lost the 2020 presidential election, urged people to peacefully protest at the Capitol and the people were for the most part genuinely peaceful in doing so, mainstream news organizations dutifully reported for anti-Trump political entities that that protest was a full-blown insurrection. One young woman, a member of the American military, was shot by a security person for Capitol grounds even though she was doing nothing of a confrontational or violent nature.

There is an exponentially growing spirit of insurrection manifesting today. This is seen not only in this country with the Trump Derangement Syndrome that media have ginned up, but it has gone viral worldwide.

The latest spirit of insurrection that is truly from demonic portals with religious fanaticism at its core is seen in this report from Europe.

The Red/Green Alliance is in the streets of France setting her on fire. Muslims and leftists, along with a lot of students, are setting fire to hundreds of schools, churches, and vehicles. They are also setting fire to principles, firefighters, and bystanders. It’s an evil apocalypse come home to roost.

France is experiencing the Red/Green Alliance’s loving touch in its streets. Violent Muslims and leftists wreaked havoc across France on Friday, setting fire to everything they could, including people. Many of the protesters were African and Arab students. Riot police clashed with teenagers in several French cities as roughly 400 high schools were closed. At last count, almost 2,000 people had been arrested as the government blamed leftists for the upheaval…

After setting their schools and even their teachers on fire, Muslim students rioting in France are now torching firefighters as they try to put out the fires… [It is] a war zone. (“France Is Literally on Fire as Muslims and Leftists Violently Protest in the Streets, Declare War Against the French State,” Terresa Monroe-Hamilton, RAIR, October 2, 2026)

Just like in the case of mainstream news reporting in the US, reporters in France and other foreign places are calling these protests “mostly peaceful.” Of course, we remember that God’s Word tells us Satan is the prince of the power of the air, so it shouldn’t surprise that such lies are going viral and are global.

In the Luke 21:24–25 prophecy by the Lord Jesus, we are warned that there will be “upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.”

This is reference to a worldwide upheaval among the people of the earth. Certainly, we are witnessing a spreading of this hell-spawned “perplexity” among nations. The seas of humanity—instigated, I believe, by radical Islam, in conjunction with the leftist, luciferian ideology—are roaring as these foment anti-God, anti-Christ evil.

Jesus’ prophecy, like all other Bible prophecy, is clearly manifesting in these closing hours of this Age of Grace. The evil we see spreading at an alarming rate, as Islam attempts to upset the Judeo-Christian foundation of the United States and to infect the entire world with anti-God wickedness must be opposed at every level by the Church of Jesus Christ. This means we must, as individual Royal Ambassadors for our King, be ever watchful and fervent in our opposition to that wickedness.

Sadly, most churches today are slumbering and not recognizing these prophecies as being on the front pages and hourly news cycles. Heavenly alerts signaling the lateness of the prophetic hour are pulsing brightly. The Tribulation hour is on the immediate prophetic horizon.

We must put out the warning and offer the only rescue from that coming hour of satanic darkness. Here, again, is that offer from the God who loves the world of humanity so much that He provided forgiveness and redemption for all who accept His grace gift offer.

That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10: 9–10)

God is Moving in Nicaragua

I hope you have noticed that I have not posted for a couple of weeks. My wife and a team from our church have just returned from a week long trip to Nicaragua to preach and teach the purity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

First off, I felt very safe, more so than in many places in the United States. The people, thought many lack what we would term any king of conveniences of life, are happy and very reception to the Gospel. Our team had great success. We had the opportunity to spend time in homes sharing and praying for those in need of salvation and healing.

My wife and I were given a specific church to minister in for the week there. We preached, held services and I believe most importantly we got the opportunity to teach fundamentals of Christian living. All in all it was a tremendous move of the Holy Spirit. I love those people, they are making the best of a horrible situation.

The churches are small, but very dedicated and we always felt a strong presence of the Lord in their services. Worship was, as usual very good. The Nicaragua people know how to worship Jesus! In any language and any culture Christ is being lifted up in these last days. I praise God for this!

Pray for missionary support in all countries of the World. Including Ukraine, who has a missionary there at the present time we know. Peace and safety to the precious feet of all who spread the Gospel! Maranatha! Rh

Highlights and Bullet Points From Republican Mid-Term Convention

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday, September 9

  • Trump presented his administration’s economic and domestic-policy record. His speech covered tax cuts, immigration enforcement, domestic oil and gas production, and prescription-drug pricing. He credited his administration with increased energy production and highlighted its “most favored nation” approach to drug prices. These were the accomplishments he presented to the audience; the speech itself does not independently establish every numerical claim.
  • He announced a proposed $5,000 “Trump dividend.” Trump said every adult U.S. citizen would receive the payment if Republicans retained both the House and Senate. He also said the money would have to be spent in the United States. This was a proposed payment announced in his speech, not an enacted benefit. He repeated the proposal Thursday.
  • Texas’s Senate contest received considerable attention. Ken Paxton presented his economic message, thanked Trump, and criticized Democratic opponent James Talarico. Trump subsequently highlighted Paxton’s candidacy and pledged to return to Texas to campaign for him. Representative Brandon Gill also devoted part of his remarks to Talarico and other Democratic candidates.
  • John Fetterman appeared in a recorded introduction for Dave McCormick.The Democratic Pennsylvania senator praised his Republican colleague and discussed working together with Trump on Pennsylvania’s steel industry. Fetterman identified himself as a Democrat in the message. McCormick thanked him when he came onstage. C-SPAN video
  • The program connected policy themes to individual families and workers. It included border residents Wanda and Ron Liptow; National Border Patrol Council president Paul Perez; manufacturing workers appearing with McCormick; and Laken Riley’s family appearing with Mike Collins. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Dr. Mehmet Oz were also on Wednesday’s program. Oz’s remarks emphasized healthcare affordability. Official program, Night-one transcript

Thursday, September 10—the evening you attended

  • Vance’s keynote emphasized party unity despite policy disagreements. He defended the administration’s record and asked Republicans who disagreed with particular decisions to remain engaged in the midterms. He also criticized Democratic candidates and discussed family, faith, and national identity. The audience greeted him with chants of his name. A protester carrying a Mexican flag interrupted the address and was escorted out.
  • Kennedy explained his political break with the Democratic Party and alliance with Trump. He discussed his family’s Democratic history and argued that the party had departed from its earlier values. His remarks addressed pandemic restrictions, constitutional rights, corporate influence, immigration, and women’s sports. He also recalled his 2024 presidential campaign and credited Charlie Kirk with helping bring him and Trump together. His health-policy discussion centered on the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda and childhood chronic disease. FOX 4’s full Kennedy speech and summary
  • Mayor Eric Johnson focused on public safety and Dallas’s economic development. He explained his move from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in terms of policing, business policy, and city government. He discussed efforts to expand the police department, reduce crime and homelessness, and attract financial businesses. He used the phrase “Y’all Street” for his vision of Dallas as a financial center and contrasted his approach with policies in several Democratic-led cities. Full speech and FOX Local reporting
  • Ted Cruz addressed religion, the Constitution, and what he described as Islamist influence. He argued against incorporating Sharia into American law and characterized parts of the Democratic coalition as hostile to Christians, Jews, capitalism, and constitutional principles. Those were Cruz’s characterizations of his political opponents. Mike Rogers, Michigan’s Republican Senate nominee, also criticized his opponent’s association with commentator Hasan Piker, including Piker’s positions concerning Israel.
  • The Charlie Kirk remembrance marked the anniversary of his killing. The convention showed a roughly five-minute memorial video. Vance spoke about Kirk’s influence and invoked his memory while appealing for Republican unity. Donald Trump Jr. also addressed Kirk’s legacy.
  • September 11 remembrance was part of the evening’s program. On the eve of the attacks’ 25th anniversary, the schedule included a commemorative segment and Tunnel to Towers chairman and CEO Frank Siller. Other scheduled speakers included House Speaker Mike Johnson, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Representative Mike Lawler, Karoline Leavitt, and Donald Trump Jr. Thursday program
  • Trump closed by asking supporters to turn out for congressional candidates.He urged the audience to approach November as though he were on the ballot and led attendees in a repeat-after-me pledge to vote. His closing remarks again emphasized maintaining Republican congressional majorities.

Copied from WilliamKoening.com———

The mid-term elections will be a defining moment in American history. The future direction of our great nation hangs in the balance. We must, as Christian conservatives get out and vote! Choose this November the direction of the country. We cannot allow the socialist democrats to continue to win elections and bring down our great Republic. I will hold my nose and vote against the democrats. We must retain control of both houses of Congress to have any chance to save our nation. Rh

Is England’s Historic Drought a Warning From God?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Britain’s green countryside is turning brown as a historic drought scorches much of England. For Christians, the images present more than an environmental crisis. They offer a vivid picture of what happens when a nation abandons the God who once stood at the center of its identity.

More than two-thirds of England is now in drought, according to the Daily Mail. Satellite images released by the European Union show large sections of southern England transformed from green fields in August 2025 into parched land one year later.

London’s Hyde Park appears almost entirely scorched.

“Over the summer of 2026, dry conditions have been affecting the United Kingdom,” the EU said. The Met Office reported that Wisley, Surrey, endured 61 consecutive dry days. Heathrow and Odiham each went 55 days without meaningful rain. Several other locations across southern England experienced dry spells lasting more than six weeks.

Elijah, Baal and the Withheld Rain

The drought carries a striking biblical parallel.

In 1 Kings 17-18, Israel suffered a prolonged drought after King Ahab and Queen Jezebel led the nation into Baal worship. Baal’s followers considered him a god of storms, fertility and rain. Yet when Israel embraced Baal and rejected the Lord, the heavens closed.

The drought exposed Baal’s powerlessness.

Elijah eventually confronted 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. Their false god failed to answer, but the Lord responded to Elijah’s prayer with fire. Only after the people fell before God and declared, “The Lord, He is God,” did rain return.

Britain’s Christian Retreat

Britain once sent missionaries around the world and built its institutions upon a Christian foundation. Today, that inheritance is being dismantled.

King Charles III remains the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, but he has recast the monarchy’s public religious posture around protecting all faiths and secular beliefs. The leader charged with defending the Christian faith now presents Christianity as one spiritual path among many.

Parliament has moved in the same direction. Christian street preachers have faced arrest and investigation for proclaiming biblical truth. Parliament has restricted prayer and religious expression near abortion facilities. Evidence increasingly shows the world a two-tier system in which authorities treat public expressions of Christianity as threats while showing greater sensitivity toward other religions such as Islam.

This is the spiritual progression Cahn describes: A nation removes God, empties its house and opens the door to the gods it once rejected.

A Call to Return

Rain is forecast, but the Met Office urged the public to be “cautious about how much impact it will have.” Heavy downpours can run off hardened ground instead of soaking into the soil.

That warning carries its own spiritual lesson. A brief shower cannot restore land hardened by prolonged drought. Likewise, ceremonial Christianity cannot heal a nation that has rejected the authority of Christ.

We must recognize the biblical pattern before us. Britain’s scorched landscape stands as a warning to a nation that has turned from its Christian foundation.

The answer is the same one given on Mount Carmel: repentance, wholehearted devotion and the public declaration that the Lord alone is God.

James Lasher, a seasoned writer and editor at Charisma Media, 

The open rebellion of the government against anything that speaks of God is alarming. When one allows their country to be overrun by Islam and push their religion while stifling Christianity, we can expect God to respond. Is this God’s judgement, who knows, but likely. Europe is lost without a genuine move of God. America pay attention! Rh

Revival or Bust

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, the Welsh Revival, and America’s Jesus Movement all began with ordinary people becoming deeply dissatisfied with the emptiness of the world around them and turning toward Christ.

Today’s generation faces its own unique crises.

Anxiety, depression, addiction, family breakdown, identity confusion, economic uncertainty, and endless cultural upheaval have left many wondering whether there is something more than the promises offered by modern society.

The Gospel answers that question with a resounding yes.

It offers forgiveness where there is guilt.

Hope where there is despair.

Purpose where there is confusion.

Peace where there is fear.

That message never goes out of style because the deepest needs of the human heart never change.

Technology changes.

Culture changes.

Political movements rise and fall.

But humanity’s need for redemption remains exactly the same.

Thirty thousand people gathering in Angel Stadium is encouraging not simply because of the size of the crowd, but because it challenges the growing assumption that America has permanently lost interest in Christianity.

Perhaps the interest never disappeared.

Perhaps millions were simply waiting for someone to invite them.

Jesus instructed His followers to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” That command has never been limited to church buildings, nor has it expired with changing technology. Whether through stadiums, college campuses, beaches, living rooms, or digital platforms, the mission remains unchanged.

The message of the Gospel is the same today as it was yesterday. True salvation comes as we see our need and respond to the only one who can change our circumstances and give us a new life! The Lord has not moved from humanity, humanity has distanced itself from Jesus.

John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one come to the Father but through me.”

He is just waiting patently. Romans 10:9-10 Rh

A New Political Party

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

For many years now, I have wished that we could have a third political party in the United States of America. A true conservative party that is espouses moral and traditional Christian values, as well as putting the people first. The tea party attempted to do that back a few years ago, but the establishment ruling class would have none of it.  TheRepublicans hated losing power and fought against it and it eventually failed. I understand the way our government is set up that a third-party really is almost impossible, however this new effort by Mr. Islamic sympathizer Tucker and MTG, as well as other haters of Israel , their party is doomed for failure. It will be nothing more than Israel and Christian bashing. NO thank you. 

What we need is a Christian conservative party in this country. As I said, one that has morally conservative values. The only problem with that is that Christians won’t support it. Many of them don’t want to be associated with anything “political”.  Many aren’t registered to begin with and with Pastors turning deaf and dumb on speaking from pulpits on moral issues. We have a problem. We are supposed to be  salt and light in a dark and wicked world. I believe that Jesus wants to be Lord over all  areas of life. That includes politics. The attitude of many pastors and churches is that we don’t do politics. What if the issues of the day are moral issues that are trying to invade the church with demonic doctrine. It’s time for the church to stand up and fight the good fight of faith outside the four walls of the church. In politics, absolutely.  Government touches every area of our life from jobs, education, taxes, and the week being of our citizens. Government was ordained and established by God.(Romans 13)  The idiocy of what the church does by ducking its head and hiding inside the four walls of a church, amounts to a moral failure.  All these moral issues are being discussed and voted on in the halls of Congress or in governors’ mansions across the country. So let’s just drop our heads and allow ungodliness to rule and reign.  I don’t think Jesus is happy that the church gives up the rulership of this country to evil people. We are never going to wipe out evil, nor do we wish a theocratic government, but a moral one is well within our reach.  

It’s too bad a third-party won’t work, and it is too bad that it can’t be a true conservative party. Whatever  in the world that Tucker Carlson is going to try to do is not going  conservative and it’s not going to be moral either.  It will be a far right anti-Israel.  After all that is all he condemns.  It will not have  moral values.  What it is, it’s a bunch of people that are really Libertarian Democrat lite.  That have decided to take their ball and find another court so they can play on, and tear this nation apart.

My oh my, God must be shaking his head and wondering, will they ever learn?  Rh

America: One of A Kind

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Passionate in life; passionate in death.

When the Declaration of Independence was signed, Adams said it “will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever.”

And so it is. As we celebrate this monumental day, the 250th birthday of America, I leave you with the words of Founding Father Joseph Warren, quoted by Ronald Reagan in his First Inaugural Address. Reagan shared:

“On the eve of our struggle for independence, a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, ‘Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of…. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rest the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.’”

Reagan continued, “Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children.”

Happy Independence Day!

Happy July 4th Weekend

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Happy 4th of July weekend! 250th birthday of our great nation is truly unbelievable. Most nations max out before 200 years, but our great country was founded on Judeo-Christian values dedicated to the Almighty and re-dedicated to God as a Christian nation on this auspicious anniversary of our founding. Imagine a nation founded on the idea of all men being created equal. A dream of private ownership and the unlimited opportunity to be whatever your heart desires. A melting pot for those who came here for a new life and to fulfill the American dream. Our strength is in our ability to forge a nation and assimilate to ideas espoused in our Constitution.

We aren’t perfect, but in our past we had the will power to fix our wrongs and make life better for our citizens. Today we must reclaim that idea and come together for the greater good.

If We Forget Our Story, We Lose Our Identity

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

More than two decades ago, in 2004, Harvard professor Samuel Huntington warned in his book “Who Are We?” that America was facing a crisis of identity. He argued that a nation cannot remain united without a common culture, a common history, and a common understanding of itself. Remove those foundations, and a society inevitably fragments into competing tribes, interests, and identities.

Huntington pointed to the Anglo-Protestant Creed as the core of America’s unifying identity. He argued that America’s political institutions and civic ideals did not arise in a vacuum but were rooted in a culture shaped by Protestant Christianity. 

If Huntington identified the foundation of America’s shared identity, educator E.D. Hirsch explained how that identity was transmitted: through a common biblical literacy that provided Americans with a shared vocabulary, history, and moral framework. Without that shared knowledge, the cultural foundations of national identity inevitably begin to erode.

The Founding Fathers were immersed in biblical imagery. Benjamin Franklin famously proposed a national seal depicting Moses at the Red Sea. The Israelites’ exodus taught lessons about liberty, tyranny, divine providence, and national purpose.

The Bible shaped how Americans understood freedom, law, covenant, human dignity, and self-government. Even those who were not orthodox Christians were influenced by the biblical worldview that permeated colonial America.

But what happens when that biblical literacy disappears?

A nation that forgets its story loses its identity. And when a people lose their identity, they become fragmented. That is precisely what Huntington warned about. Americans increasingly identify themselves by race, class, political ideology, or special interest rather than by a common national story.

The consequences of this loss of historical memory extend beyond America’s understanding of itself. They also affect America’s understanding of one of the most important sources of its cultural inheritance: the Jewish people and the biblical story of Israel.

America’s affinity for the Jewish people did not begin with the modern State of Israel. For generations, Americans viewed Jewish history through the lens of Scripture and found in Israel’s story lessons about liberty, covenant, and national purpose.

As biblical literacy declines, Israel is increasingly viewed only through a contemporary political lens, ignoring its biblical and historical foundations. Meanwhile, anti-Semitism has risen across America and the West. Certainly, anti-Semitism has many causes. Yet it is difficult to ignore the connection between a society that no longer understands the Bible and one that increasingly misunderstands the Jewish people whose history fills its pages.

The rise of anti-Semitism and the weakening of support for Israel did not occur overnight. The ground was prepared over decades as biblical literacy declined, historical memory faded, and Americans became disconnected from the sources that once helped them understand both their own identity and the identity of the Jewish people.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we have an opportunity not merely to commemorate our history but to recover it. We can rediscover the biblical foundations that shaped our nation and strengthen the shared identity Huntington warned was slipping away.

The Bible is not merely a religious text but one of the foundational documents of American civilization. To understand America, one must understand the Bible. And when that understanding is lost, we lose not only part of our history but part of our identity.

Originally published at The Washington Stand

Powerful and very timely, we have lost our bearings in America. Too many liberal politicians have wanted to be like Europe. Open borders and a lack of spiritual discernment will eventually make the U.S. a weakened version of itself. We must repent and return to the Almighty. Our Christian values must be reclaimed. Morality must be returned to the public square, as well as the pulpit. We are living on borrowed time, just one bad election and we will be doomed to mediocrity. Rh

Believing the Declaratives and Obeying the Imperatives

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A.W. Tozer Daily Devotion

The last cause I shall name is nonobedience. Truth is given to be believed and obeyed. Certain truths can only be believed, the reason being that they are revelations of fact and contain no command or instruction to be carried out. Other truths must be obeyed or for the hearer they have no meaning. “I will come back” (John 14:3) is a statement of fact which cannot in the nature of it be obeyed; there is nothing in it to obey; it can only be believed. “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19) is a command which can only be obeyed. It is addressed to the will, and the only proper response is obedience. We cannot possibly discharge our obligation to such a passage by trying in some dubious manner to “believe” it, though I am sure many try to do just that. Is it any wonder that confusion arises? We will go far to simplify our religious concepts and unify our lives if we remember these four points: First, truth is a spiritual entity and can be grasped in its inner essence only as the Spirit of truth enlightens our hearts and teaches us in the deep, mysterious recesses of our souls. Secondly, since God is love we must surrender ourselves to love or we can never know the truth of God in its higher meaning. Thirdly, we must come to the Word with the simple faith of a child, ready to believe it whether we can understand it or not. And lastly, we must obey the truth as we see it, trusting God with the consequences.
