God is a Mighty Fortress

One day a Monk was walking in the city of Strasbourg when he met a peasant. By way of greeting the man, the monk said, "God give you a good day, my friend."

"I thank God I never have a bad day," answered the peasant.

Astonished, the Monk was silent for a moment, then tried again. "God give you happy life, my friend."

The peasant replied, "I thank God I am never unhappy."

"Never unhappy?" cried the Monk, bewildered. "What do you mean?"

"Well," came the response, "when it is fine I thank God, when it rains I thank God, when I have plenty I thank God, when I am hungry I thank God, and since God's will is my will, and whatever pleases Him pleases me, why should I say I am unhappy when I am not?

The Monk looked at him with awe. "Who are you?" he asked.

"I am a king," said the peasant.

"A king? Where is your kingdom?"

The peasant smiled. "In my heart," he whispered.

The Word Equals Peace and Prosperity

I have had the opportunity to live during a time in the United States of America when it was a strong Christian nation where the Word of God was everywhere. Now I am living in the United States of America where the newest generations know nothing about the Word of God. And the demise of Peace, Prosperity, Freedom is a major issue.

And looking around the world where anyone associated with the Word of God is executed and beheaded, places where death is everywhere, it is true that the world is becoming dark and death and without form again.

The Rot and Decay of the United States of America

The torch that is now only a candle is going out.

This nation continues its rebellion against the God of its heritage. It is no longer God Bless America from top to bottom, as trespasses against the Eternal One by a decadent mortal generation of people continues.

The greatness is no more. The blessings cease. The cup no longer runneth over as darkness descends, and the flame of the Holy Spirit lives in the hearts of people in this land in fewer and fewer places.
