America Is Divided By Sin Not Politics

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The devil saw my head down and he thought he won, until I said Amen!

There is division in America.  That is a fact, no one can doubt that premise.  However it is not by politics, but by sin. The division comes from two opposing world views.  One is a Biblical worldview and the other is a secular humanist worldview.  That is the  red line in the sand.  Neither side will give in.  I will never compromise my Biblical Moral Worldview.  

 America has a rich tradition of being a nation built on traditional family values, Judeo-Christian values.  God ordained us to spread the Gospel around the world and we did that by sending missionaries to far off distant counties.  Our mandate came through a prophecy by  Vicar Robert Hunt (1586-1608) the first Anglican chaplain of the Jamestown expedition and is renowned for a 1607 prayer and prophecy dedicating the new American land to God. Upon landing at Cape Henry, Hunt planted a seven-foot cross and “declared a covenant in the Gospel would go forth from that shore to the entire world”.  Furthermore he stated “we should focus on the mandate to raise up Godly generations after us”.

I will say,  we tried.  The United States experienced three or four Great Spiritual Awakenings:

First Great Awakening (1730s–1740s): Led by figures like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, this period focused on personal conviction, redemption, and a shift away from traditional, formal religion.

Second Great Awakening (1790s–1840s): Characterized by camp meetings and the rise of itinerant preachers like Charles Finney, it resulted in significant church growth and reform movements.

Third Great Awakening (1857–1859): Often called the “Businessmen’s Revival,” this movement began with prayer meetings in New York City during a financial crisis and spread nationwide.

Fourth Great Awakening (Late 1960s–early 1970s): Debated by some, this wave is often linked to the “Jesus Movement” and rapid growth in conservative denominations

What America needs is not a new or reformed political party, but another great Spiritual awakening.  Our government as it is now is a corrupt “ruling class” entity that does whatever it desires.  Two passages in the Bible give us an insight into how the Almighty looks at us.  It’s not a pretty sight.  One thing I know is that God is not mocked, we will reap what we sow.

1 Timothy1:9-10

“knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,”

Take a look again at some phrases:

  • murders; abortion and rage of violence 
  • fornicators; our sex craved society
  • sodomites; the entire gender mafia
  • kidnappers; sex slaves
  • liars; our government hides and lies constantly
  • perjurers; truth has fallen in the street

Read Isaiah 59:1-10: hands defiled with blood, feet that run to evil, no justice, lack of truth, and our thoughts are continually on evil and iniquities. 

We need an awakening, repentance and a turning from the evil that permeates our society.  The division is caused not by political, but spiritual warfare that divides us more than even a civilian war based on political ideology.  We need intercessors more than candidates.  We need hungry hearts and souls that long after the Lord.  Humility filled with a desire for the things of God.  Turning from evil and pushing into the holy place where God resides.

Unfortunately the majority of the American church is living in a daze of the prosperity gospel, feeling they have need of nothing.  Bills are paid, money in the bank, but all the while Jesus is knocking on the door of our hearts desiring a deeper relationship with His church.

We need the Ekklesia to become the remnant that pursues the holiness of God more than the pleasures of the world.  Jesus is the only solution for a deprived world.  He is our only hope.  The world is on a downward path, the Bible tells us for a fact that a spirit of anti-christ will invade the last days.  We are there now.

Let me be clear, I am not saying we shouldn’t be involved with politics.  We most definitely should.  We as Christian Conservatives vote our Biblical values.  It is our duty and I believe a mandate from the Lord.  Look through the slick commercials and line up your candidate with the Word of God.  What I am saying is this…we need a “Great Awakening” to save this country.  

Spiritual warfare is real and we must win the spiritual war first and then the awakening will come.  Lord Jesus raise up holy intercessors in this time..  You were born for such a time as this.

Bridge To Ezekiel 38 War

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The military action we see now in the Middle East is not leading to the Ezekiel 38 war.  That war is with Russia, Turkey, and Iran with  other Muslim nations forming a coalition to attack Israel at a time of relative peace and security.  This war is doing something no other military war or action has done.  Realignment in the Gulf region.

Deterrents and consolidations.  The US, along with Israel is taking its rightful place as the moral force to deter forces of evil.  Iran has raged a proxy war on Israel for years, and on America for 47 years ever since the taking of the Embassy in Tehran.  The radical Ayatollahs have spewed hatred and death to Israel and the US.  Calling us both tools of Satan.  That is the pot calling the kettle black

A shift is happening, MBS (Muhammad Bin Salim) Saudi  Arabia’s crown prince has publicly called for Trump to not stop until Iran is defeated. UAE has espoused similar assertions.  Terror proxies  have been deterred, new alliances have been made and old partners are showing their cowardness.  NATO may well be finished as Trump declares he is watching and taking notes. Trump made the statement recently that one European PM told him “this is not our war”, to which Trump replied “neither is Ukraine our war”.  Point counter point.  Russia is lurking.

War is chaotic and causes confusion, but it ultimately brings peace and realignment.  Arab neighbors are forgetting old tribal grudges and looking toward a new stability and prosperity in the Gulf region.  Netanyahu has been pushing the idea of a pipeline from Saudi Arabia across Israel to export oil, making piracy and closure of the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz a mute point.  Seems MBS may be ready to explore that plan.  Funny how the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend.  Arabs are finding out Israel is not the problem. With new alliances, comes new prosperity and that is good for the entire region.  

Sometimes it takes a war to clear out the rats as they scurry to find protection.  War is chaos.  The military is designed to bring fury on the enemy, but the aftermath could, hopefully bring old combatants together. Let’s pray for that.  God is able to bring change and new directions out of the fog of war aftermath.  After all He created the world out of emptiness, nothing is impossible.  Could this conflict bring about the peace and security that Israel craves and set the stage for Ezekiel 38??  

IMO the next war in the Middle East will likely be the Ezekiel 38 war.  The Russia, Turkey & Iran coalition will attempt to move on Israel as the world looks on and hopes for diplomatic means to end the next crisis in the Middle East.  But this time it isn’t a nation, but Almighty God who crushes the Gog and Magog alliance with large hailstones from heaven!  It all makes sense to me. Prophecy given, prophecy fulfilled.  This conflict isn’t the big one, but most likely the next one will be Ezekiel 38.  

Look up your redemption draws near.  Maranatha! Rh

*Update* Spain, Italy, UK, France and Poland have told the US they will not be a part of any help when it comes to the conflict in Iran.  Including the strait of Hormuz.  NATO is falling apart right before our eyes.  They seem very cocky for a bunch of cowards who run to America for help every time Putin sneezes in their direction.  Rh

Scientific Shift Toward God

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

For centuries, people have been told that science and belief in God are on opposite sides of a growing divide — that as science uncovers more about the universe, faith becomes less necessary.

But something surprising is happening. Instead of pushing God out of the picture, some modern discoveries in physics, cosmology, and biology are prompting scientists to ask questions that sound remarkably theological — questions about beginnings, purpose, and design.

A striking example of this is the recently released book God, the Science, the Evidence: The Dawn of a Revolution by French researchers Michel‑Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies. Drawing on contributions from more than twenty scientists, including a Nobel laureate, the book argues that science today — from the Big Bang to the astonishing complexity of life — increasingly points toward a Creator rather than blind chance.

One example the authors highlight is DNA, the molecule carrying the instructions for all life. Its intricate structure and immense information content appear far more like a coded design than something that could easily arise by accident. 

This, they argue, challenges the idea that life could have emerged purely through random processes. The book has already sparked conversations worldwide, showing that questions of faith and science are far from mutually exclusive.

IMO It is nonsensical to believe this intricate design of our human body could be by chance. DNA and other bodily creations such as how does an eye see or how does the human brain work, defies the possibility of evolution. Just think of the vastness of our universe. The perfect place of earth as it circles the Sun. God is the only answer. That isn’t even a statement of faith, it’s a statement of intelligent thinking. Common sense lets me know there is a creator. But faith is belief in Jesus Christ as my savior, that He died for me and rose from the grave. Faith is, I believe the Word of God to be true and a roadmap for humanity. Faith lets me know God has it all under control, even when it looks like the world is falling apart, when it’s only falling into place. Prophecy foretold, prophecy fulfilled! Rh

Calvary Chapel Pastors Go To The Grand Canyon Defending The Genesis Account of Creation – Harbinger’s Daily

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Though secular geologists insist the Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, a group of Calvary Chapel pastors recently visited the canyon, examining firsthand evidence of a young earth and a global flood—as described in the Bible.

My wife and I love the western part of America. We have had the privilege of two different trips, one was from Denver north to Teton and Yellowstone then west through Utah and down into Arizona and the Grand Canyon. Maybe the ruggedness of God’s handiwork makes me feel more in tune to the Almighty, but what ever it is, it makes me happy. The creation of God is wonderful, and the evidence of a catastrophic flood, as least in my mind is undeniable. Rh

Beloved of God

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

 To Him who loved us: What a beautiful title for Jesus! When loved is used, in the past tense, it points back to a particular time and place where Jesus loved us. It should be pointed out that many translations have loves us (such as NASB, NIV, and NLT), but there is something beautiful about loved us. It looks back to the cross. Every believer should be secure in God’s love, not based on their present circumstances (which may be difficult), but based on the ultimate demonstration of love at the cross. This is worth praising Jesus about.

Paul put it like this in Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The work of Jesus on the cross for us is God’s ultimate proof of His love for you. He may give additional proof, but He can give no greater proof.

No wonder many believers are not secure in knowing the love of Jesus towards them – they look to their present circumstances to measure His love. Instead, they need to look back to the cross, settle the issue once for all, and give praise to Jesus, to Him who loved us.

And washed us from our sins in His own blood: This is what happened when Jesus loved us at the cross. He washed us – cleansed us from the deep stain of sin, so that we really are clean before Him. This is worth praising Jesus about.

If we understand our own deep sinfulness, this seems almost too good to be true. We can stand clean before God – clean from the deepest of stains. No wonder the same Apostle John also wrote, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness(1 John 1:9).

In His own blood: If there were any other way to wash us from our sins, God would have done it that other way. To wash us in His own blood meant the ultimate sacrifice of God the Son. God wouldn’t do it this way unless it was the only way. “The priests could only cleanse with blood of bulls and goats; but he has washed us from our sins ‘in his own blood.’ Men are willing enough to shed the blood of others. How readily they will enter upon war! But Christ was willing to shed his own blood, to pour out his soul unto death, that we might be saved.” (Spurgeon)

Notice the order: first loved, then washed. It wasn’t that God washed us out of some sense of duty and then loved us because we were then clean. He loved uswhile we were dirty, but then He washed us.

In fact, washing proves love. If you had an old pair of pants, and got them covered in paint, you would only wash them and keep them for two reasons. First, you might wash them and keep them if you were poor. You can’t or won’t spend money on another pair of pants, so you wash them and keep them. Second, you might wash them and keep them if you really loved those old pants. Money isn’t the issue. You could go down and buy a new pair of pants any time; but you love that pair so much that you spend the time and the effort to clean them, and use them again. God loves us so much that He washed us. God certainly is not poor. With merely a thought, He could obliterate every sinner and start over with brand-new creatures. But He doesn’t. He loves us so much that He washed us.

Some scholars believe that John wrote and loosed us from our sins. There is only one letter different between the words washed and loosed in the ancient Greek language. Both words show up in ancient manuscripts, so it’s hard to say which one John wrote. Nevertheless, both are true – we are both washed and loosed from our sins.

And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father: This is status Jesus gives to those whom He loved in His work on the cross and who are washed… in His own blood. It would have been enough just to love them and cleanse them. But He goes far beyond, and makes us kings and priests to His God and Father. This is more than Adam ever was. Even in the innocence of Eden we never read of Adam among the kings and priests of God. This is worth praising Jesus about.

We are kings, so we are God’s royalty – this is privilege, status, and authority. We are priests, so we are God’s special servants. We represent God to man and man to God. We offer sacrifice unto Him (Hebrews 13:15). We have privileged access to God’s presence (Romans 5:1-2).

Kings and priests: In the Old Testament, it was forbidden to combine the offices of king and priest. King Uzziah of Judah is an example of a man who tried to combine the two offices, and paid the penalty for it (2 Chronicles 26:16-23). Under the New Covenant, we can be like Jesus in the sense that He is both King and High Priest (Luke 1:31-33; Hebrews 4:14).

Worthless & Traitorous Republicans

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Why can’t republicans get anything done?  They are completely worthless. We the people should fire them and we would, but we can’t. Republicans hold majorities in the House and Senate plus the White House. Nothing gets done. Even the Save Act which is common sense legislation is stalled in the august upper chamber. Why?  Thune is a traitor to his home state and to the American people. He must be compromised. Does someone have pictures of him?  Is he taking bribes?  Is he a closet democrat that hates the will of the people?

In every legitimate poll passing a law to secure our elections is highly favored, even among democrats. Including African Americans and Hispanics. To be against this bill determines your patriotism. Rule of law and free and fair elections mandate only citizens of the United States be allowed to vote in elections.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House, was first introduced by Texas Republican Chip Roy.

It would require anyone registering to vote to prove they are U.S. citizens using a passport or birth certificate. The GOP would like to attach it to one of the government funding bills being considered in Congress, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says it’s a non-starter if it comes to a vote in the upper chamber.

These morons who tell us it is voter suppression or that minorities won’t be able to prove their citizenship are liars. Prove me wrong. Not passing this bill and vocally standing against passage, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a crooked politician. Case closed. Pass the bill!!

Remember the main reason for having an open border policy under Biden, was to guarantee a new voting block for the democrats.  An underclass that would be beholding to the democratic welfare benefits in exchange for their vote.

Final point. Trump, it’s time to use your political capital. Get these guys in the oval office and read them the riot act!  Give ‘em a flash of the notorious Trump temper! This is a test of your ability to govern, after all  Mr. President you endorsed the leadership in Congress. Thune is your guy. Remember?

Cheating and lying come as easily as breathing for the “UniParty” in D.C., isn’t it time to put an end to their chicanery? We the People!

Action point:

Call Sen. Thune and voice your disapproval now!

Lawmakers and Christians Unite In Prayer For America

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Lawmakers, christians, Pastors and CEOs gathered this past week in D.C. to call for repentance and prayer for our nation. We are facing a serious spiritual battle over our country.  Not only have we lost a fear (reverence) of God, we are openly rebelling against what has always been the moral norm in society.  Our churches have become a moral quagmire with erroneous doctrines being preached as truth. Our governmental officials are doing not the “will of the people,” but for their own greed and lust for power.   Hanging on to the lust for power until they crumble and fall from failing health right before our eyes.  

Our battle is spiritual.  As believers we hold the key to the renewal of the United States and the world.  God is not finished with us, but time is running out.  It is time to put off our notions of greatness, humble ourselves, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us our corporate sins, and bring a newness and renewal to our nation.  

WE are in need of forgiveness, repentance and a turning back to the Judeo-Christian values that made America the envy of the world.  God has blessed us to the extent that, IMO we think we are above retribution for a Holy God!  God is not mocked, “for whatsoever a man or nation sows, they shall also reap.”  God have mercy upon us.  Forgive us and restore us….Amen!  Rh

Artificial Intelligence; a lesser god?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

AI is going nowhere, it is here to stay.  The AI revolution is moving way too fast for comfort. The technology is, to coin a movie title, fast and furious.  From technocrats to governments to everyday people, AI is here to stay, but the ramifications are still unknown.  For one, many companies are looking to replace workers with AI. What will that do for the economy? Others look to AI as a lesser god that can bring unlimited knowledge and power to the human race. Below is a nice article that tackles some of my concerns as a Christian.   Has the genie been let out of the bag? Rh
