Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

DELUSIONAL OBAMA, WARNS OF PLANET BEYOND REPAIR

Obama Warns of Planet Beyond Repair: 'Submerged Countries. Abandoned Cities. Fields No Longer Growing'

By Melanie Hunter | September 1, 2015 | 1:05 PM EDT
(CNSNews.com) – In a speech in Anchorage, Alaska, on Monday President Barack Obama warned that if nations do not act to stop climate change "we will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair."
"Climate change is no longer some far-off problem," Obama said." It is happening here. It is happening now. Climate change is already disrupting our agriculture and ecosystems, our water and food supplies, our energy, our infrastructure, human health, human safety--now. Today."
“If we were to abandon our course of action, if we stop trying to build a clean-energy economy and reduce carbon pollution, if we do nothing to keep the glaciers from melting faster, and oceans from rising faster, and forests from burning faster, and storms from growing stronger, we will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair,” he said.
“Submerged countries. Abandoned cities. Fields no longer growing. Indigenous peoples who can’t carry out traditions that stretch back millennia," he said. "Entire industries of people who can’t practice their livelihoods. Desperate refugees seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own. Political disruptions that could trigger multiple conflicts around the globe."
The president also predicted that temperatures in Alaska would rise six to 12 degrees by the end of the century.
“So if we do nothing, temperatures in Alaska are projected to rise between six and 12 degrees by the end of the century, triggering more melting, more fires, more thawing of the permafrost, a negative feedback loop, a cycle--warming leading to more warming--that we do not want to be a part of,” he said.
The issue of whether human activity is changing the climate is settled, the president said.
“So let me sum up. We know that human activity is changing the climate. That is beyond dispute. Everything else is politics if people are denying the facts of climate change. We can have a legitimate debate about how we are going to address this problem; we cannot deny the science,” he said.
“We also know the devastating consequences if the current trend lines continue. That is not deniable, and we are going to have to do some adaptation, and we are going to have to help communities be resilient. Because of these trend lines, we are not going to be able to stop on a dime. We’re not going to be able to stop tomorrow,” Obama added.

My comments: Obama is an Evil man, an Impostor, going from bad to Worse, Deceiving and being Deceived. He is paving the way for the Revealing of the son of Satan, the Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist. When this happens, God's Great Tribulation begins and the Face of the Earth is Destroyed [Isaiah 24:1], the Cities of the Nations Collapse [Rev. 16:19] and ALL THE NATIONS of the Earth are Defeated at The Battle of Armageddon [2 Thess. 2:8]. That is what Obama and every person should be Concerned about.

AMERICA IS NOW LIVING UNDER A COUNTER-CONSTITUTIONAL JUDICIOCRACY

America Is Now Living Under a Counter-Constitutional Judiciocracy

By J. Matt Barber | September 2, 2015 | 10:34 AM EDT - CNSNEWS.COM

“Judicial activism occurs when judges write subjective policy preferences into the law rather than apply the law impartially according to its original meaning.”
– The Heritage Foundation
To vocal opponents of judicial activism, this comes as little surprise. The U.S. Supreme Court has suffered a major credibility blow in the wake of its politically motivated 5-4Obergefell v. Hodges “gay marriage” opinion. In it, they presumed to do the impossible – both redefine the age-old institution of natural marriage and to give this fictional definition precedence over freedoms actually enumerated in the Bill of Rights. According to Rasmussen, only “36 percent of Likely U.S. Voters still think the high court is doing a good or excellent job.”
Incredibly, even the Chicago Tribune had this scathing assessment of the high court:
“We must confess we are shocked at the violence and servility of the Judicial Revolution caused by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. We scarcely know how to express our detestation of its inhuman dicta, or to fathom the wicked consequences which may flow from it. … This decision has sapped the constitution [sic] of its glorious and distinctive features, and seeks to pervert it into a barbarous and unchristian channel … Jefferson feared this Supreme Court, and foretold its usurpation of the legislative power of the Federal Government. His prophecy is now reality. The terrible evil he dreaded is upon us.”
As many of us warned, this opinion is already being used to crush Americans’ constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. This was not lost on the Tribune, which added, “To say or suppose, that a Free People can respect or will obey a decision so fraught with disastrous consequences to the People and their Liberties, is to dream of impossibilities. No power can take away their rights. They will permit no power to abridge them.”
The New York Tribune was equally dismissive: “The decision, we need hardly say, is entitled to just as much moral weight as would be the majority of those congregated in any Washington bar-room.”

OK, I’ll come clean. The above quotes are not in reference to Obergefell. But they might as well have been. These quotes addressed the Supreme Court’s equally illegitimate 1857 Dred Scott decision. Whereas, in Dred Scott, the justices defied natural law and presumed a “right” for whites to own blacks, the court’s 2015 Obergefell decision likewise defied natural law and presumed to deconstruct and redefine the institution of marriage.
Both decisions are illegitimate, and here’s why. For the U.S. Supreme Court to justifiably overturn some law duly passed by the United States Congress, its opinion must be deeply rooted in one or more of the following:
  1. A clear reading of the U.S. Constitution;
  2. Some prior court precedent;
  3. History and the Common Law;
  4. Our cultural customs or traditions;
  5. Some other law enacted by Congress.
As the high court’s four dissenting justices rightly observed in Obergefell, the “five attorneys” who invented this newfangled “right” to “gay marriage,” failed, abysmally, on each and every requirement.
The same was true of Dred Scott.
And so both opinions should be summarily ignored.
As President Andrew Jackson famously quipped of a Supreme Court opinion he thought usurped his executive authority, “[Chief Justice] John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”
After the Dred Scott decision was released, Sen. William Pitt Fessenden, R-Maine, who later served as Abraham Lincoln’s secretary of treasury, said this: “[It is charged] that I am undermining the institutions of the country by attacking the Supreme Court of the United States! I attack not their decision, for they have made none; it is their opinion.”
Over the last few decades, the other two branches of government, the legislative and the executive, have, for some inexplicable reason, acquiesced to the notion of judicial supremacy – a dangerously dominant concept that erroneously regards the United States Supreme Court as the final arbiter of all things public policy. If this is so, then these nine unelected lawyers are ultimately unaccountable to anyone or anything, and the other two branches of government are but toothless figurehead bodies merely spinning their wheels while spending our dollars.
This flies in the face of the framers’ intent. It’s also the very unfortunate reality under which we live. It is fully within the constitutional authority of the other two branches of government to rein in these judges gone wild.
Article III, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the authority to “check” judicial activism, up to and including when justices illegitimately legislate from the bench: “[T]he Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.”
Our Republican-led Congress, from a regulatory standpoint, has the absolute constitutional authority to smack down this rogue Supreme Court. Unfortunately, to date, it has either been unwilling or unable to do so.
Still, it’s not Republicans alone who must halt this judicial imperialism. Freedom-loving Democrats, must also join the fight. After the Dred Scott opinion, they did.
“[F]orthwith we are told that the Supreme Court of the United States has become the appointed expounder of Democratic principles. Since when?” asked Sen. George Pugh, D-Ohio. “Who constituted the judges of the Supreme Court the makers or expounders of Democratic principle? Certainly not Thomas Jefferson, who pronounced them the sappers and miners of the Constitution; certainly not Andrew Jackson, who told them he would interpret his own oath, as well as his own principles, according to his views of the Constitution. … When we get to going by courts, it seems to me we have departed from the whole spirit and principle of the Democratic Party.”
In the vast majority of their writings the Founding Fathers were explicit that the judicial branch of government is effectively the weakest of the three. Regrettably, such is not the case with today’s modern misapplication. Americans currently live under what is, for all intents and purposes, a counter-constitutional judiciocracy led by nine unelected, unaccountable, black-robed autocrats.
No, five extremist lawyers don’t get to decide “the law of the land.” Only the legislature can do that. The high court merely issues opinions.
And then the other two branches decide what, if anything, to do with them.
The Declaration of Independence acknowledges that true rights are God-given and unalienable.
Religious free exercise is sacrosanct.
“Gay marriage” is pretend.
And the Supreme Court is not the Supreme Being.

They have done so in "preparation" for the Revealing of their "god," the son of Satan, the Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist, who is coming SOON!  

CHENEY: OBAMA LEADING US TO NUCLEAR WAR

Cheney: Obama Leading US to Nuclear War


President Barack Obama's deal with Iran will likely result  in “the first use of a nuclear weapon since Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney wrote in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.
"Among the many dangerous deficiencies in his nuclear deal with Iran is the irreversible damage it will do to the international nonproliferation regime contained in the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty),” the Cheneys wrote. 

“Allowing the Iranians to continue to enrich uranium and agreeing to the removal of all restraints on their nuclear program in a few short years virtually guarantees that they will become a nuclear-weapons state, thus undermining the fundamental agreement at the heart of the NPT. President Obama is unraveling this international structure as part of an agreement that provides a pathway for the world’s worst state-sponsor of terror to acquire nuclear weapons.

“The Obama agreement will lead to a nuclear-armed Iran, a nuclear-arms race in the Middle East and, more than likely, the first use of a nuclear weapon since Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
In an interview with CNN on Monday night the former vice president said the Iran nuclear deal should have been treated as a treaty, adding that, if it had, it never would have been ratified by Congress. 

America could be hit with another Sept. 11-style attack with "much deadlier weapons," Cheney told CNN

"I worry if they use chemicals or biological agents or nuclear weapons," Cheney said in an interview segment aired Monday on "The Lead with Jake Tapper." 

Correspondent Jamie Gangel's interview with Cheney and his daughter, Liz, will air in full on Tuesday's "Anderson Cooper 360." 
The Sept. 11 terrorists used airline tickets and box cutters, Cheney noted. 

"That was a difficult, terrible day for us. Three thousand casualties. It will be a lot worse if they find deadlier weapons."
The vice president also laments, in his book and in the Wall Street Journal op-ed that Obama as weakened an America that has “guaranteed freedom, security and peace for a larger share of humanity than any other nation in all of history.” 

“Yet despite the explosive spread of terrorist ideology and organizations, the establishment of an Islamic State caliphate in the heart of the Middle East, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and increasing threats from Iran, China, North Korea and Russia, President Obama has departed from this 75-year, largely bipartisan tradition of ensuring America’s pre-eminence and strength.

“He has abandoned Iraq, leaving a vacuum that is being tragically and ominously filled by our enemies. He is on course to forsake Afghanistan as well,” the Cheneys wrote.

HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT IS GRAVE THREAT TO FREEDOM



September 2, 2015
Homosexual movement is grave threat to freedom
By Gina Miller

Up until now, apologists for the militant homosexual/"transgender" movement have aggressively insisted that Christians (and others standing in opposition) will still be free to live their faith and conscience in the wake of the Supreme Court's illegal imposition on our nation of same-sex "marriage." This is a lie. The militant homosexualist movement cannot, and will not, coexist with those who stand against its tyrannical agenda. In fact, Christian freedom is a specific target of these homosexualists who despise God, His Word and His people.

On Monday the Supreme Court gave us another proof of this when it rejected the appeal of Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, who has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The lunacy continues. The Supreme Court had no authority to do what it did in finding a nonexistent "right" in the Constitution for homosexuals to pretend to be "married," something that can never, in reality, be. Nor does the Court, or any other entity of law, have the right to force Americans to violate their conscience in participating in the abomination of same-sex "marriage." Don't give me this tripe about how "she took an oath to do her duty as a county clerk." Whatever oath she may have taken certainly did not include swearing to set aside her fundamental freedom in order to uphold unconstitutional wickedness illegally imposed on the states by a lawless, corrupt Supreme Court.
We have watched Christian business owners come under lawfare assault by homosexual activists who are hell-bent on forcing Christians to violate their conscience and participate in affirming same-sex "marriage" with their creative work. We are seeing people who embrace the "transgender" delusion forcing businesses to accommodate them in their mental illness, thereby coercing coworkers to engage in a charade, pretending, for instance, that a man in their workplace is a "woman," and even forcing women to use the same restroom as the man who imagines he is a woman. It's insanity, and it's spreading like a cancer all across our nation.

Those of us who have been closely watching the advance of this dark movement see exactly where it's headed: the criminalization of Christianity. We have been warning of this for years, and it's becoming clearer by the day that we're right. While the aggressive, God-hating homosexual activists hurl their vicious lies and senseless insults at us, we are being proven right, inch by inch, day by day, as the sodomite/"transgender" behemoth claims more ground of our freedoms. Just ask the Kleins of Sweet Cakes bakery, Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Bakery and numerous others who came before Kim Davis in their resistance to the hijacked-rainbow brigade's evil schemes.
I have repeated myself over and over again for years now. The homosexual movement, including its related perversions like "transgenderism," has nothing to do with "equality" or marriage (other than to destroy it). It's about the destruction of freedom, and specifically, the destruction of Christian freedom. Truth does not change, and the truth about homosexuality does not change. Homosexual behavior is sin. It's destructive and dangerous. It's unnatural. It's immoral. It's a gross perversion of God's design for human sexuality. It's naturally repulsive to those who retain a functioning moral compass. The same goes for "transgenderism." People who imagine or pretend that they are members of the opposite sex are in open, degenerate rebellion against God, reality and nature. Whether this is due to mental illness or not, it's still dead wrong.

The God-haters in this movement and their fellow travelers in positions of power will not stop until Christianity is criminalized. At its heart, this is a manifestation of the battle Satan has waged against God and His people. It is demonic influence that drives these sodomites to target Christians, in order to crush their freedoms. This county clerk in Kentucky is a target because she is a Christian. These Godless degenerates now have the force of bad law on their side. Bad law – immoral law – is tyranny. Tyranny is what Satan desires over humanity, and he will get it, as the Bible has forewarned us.
The radical homosexual movement is one of the foremost tools the devil is using to topple our freedom, and if we had a thousand county clerks like Kim Davis stand up to this lawless edict from the federal courts, we might stand a chance of beating it back. But there are not many Christians of such courage today.

Dark times are falling on this nation, and there are numerous fronts of evil that are working in concert to destroy the Godly foundation of freedom upon which the United States was founded. Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) is an enemy of all that is right and true, and he is certainly a treasonous enemy of our country. He is a strong supporter and pusher of the militant sodomite agenda. He is part of God's judgment on this wayward nation that has forcefully expelled God from the public square. Whether it's the communistic "global warming" agenda, the homosexualist agenda or even the lunatic "black lives matter" racist agenda, all these are heads of the same tyrannical hydra. They all seek to bring tyranny down on the American people.

While these agents of Satan may have awful success here in the short term, in the very end they will lose in a big and terrible way. While we can and should resist their devilish efforts to turn America into a third-world hell-hole of despotism, those of us who belong to God through Jesus Christ know that Jesus has already won the war at the cross. Our spiritual enemies now stand forever defeated, although they still have great power for a short time until the Lord's return.

If you're a Christian, continue to seek the Lord's will, to study His Word and to pray for our nation. Also pray for those Christians like Kim Davis who boldly stand against the evil homosexualist machine. We must work to repent of our sins, to clean our own spiritual houses and spread the Good News of the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. None of these things are easy, and we stumble daily, but it's vital that we keep putting one foot in front of the other with the Lord's strength holding us up.
For your encouragement and education, I also strongly recommend an excellent documentary video that Faith2Action's Janet Porter has made. "Light Wins" is an outstanding resource for understanding the evil truth at the heart of the homosexual movement. Janet has interviewed numerous Christian leaders, former homosexuals and others to give viewers a detailed understanding of how the homosexual movement was born and grew into the vicious, evil monster it is today. I've never seen such a comprehensive presentation on the radical homosexual movement. It is excellent. The video wraps up with practical plans for combatting the homosexualist agenda that you can put into place in your church and community. Watch a preview of the movie and order the DVD or even a "Freedom Kit" of resources and the DVD at the Faith2Action website.

GIRLS TAKE DEFIANT ACTION OVER TRANSGENDER IN LOCKER ROOM

'I think this is pure and simple bigotry'

(KMOV) — More than 150 students walked out of Hillsboro High School over a dispute about the use of the girl’s locker room by a transgender student.
The walkout lasted for about two hours. Roughly 30-40 people showed support for senior Lila Perry, who wants to use the girls’ locker room during gym class. Perry was born a male but said she has identified as a female since 13.
“There’s a lot of ignorance, they are claiming that they’re uncomfortable. I don’t believe for a second that they are. I think this is pure and simple bigotry,” said Perry.
A short distance away, a counter protest was being held by people claiming they have relatives at the high school.

TRUMP'S MASS DEPORTATION PLAN SELLS IN IOWA

(POLITICO) Donald Trump’s immigration plan to deport 11 million people in the United States illegally has the support of nearly half of likely Iowa Republican caucus-goers in the latest Iowa Poll out Tuesday, conducted by Des Moines’ Selzer & Co. for Bloomberg Politics and The Des Moines Register.
Asked whether they would support such a plan, 47 percent of likely GOP attendees said it would be a “good way” to deal with the situation, 37 percent said it would not, and 16 percent said they were not sure. Among those who said they would vote for Trump, the plan registered even greater support.
Given a list of issues and asked to assess where Trump would be most successful, 66 percent of all likely participants said immigration would be a strength, while just 29 percent said it would be a weakness. Trump’s greatest strengths in the poll included international trade (88 percent strength to 10 percent weakness), creating jobs (87 percent to 10 percent) and improving the economy for the middle class (84 percent to 13 percent). At the bottom of the list: “understanding Iowa” (46 percent to 45 percent), cooperating with Congress (43 percent to 51 percent) and improving race relations (42 percent to 47 percent).

JUDGE FLIPS SWITCH ON 'ORWELLIAN' SPYING OF AMERICANS

nsa_snowden


WND EXCLUSIVE

JUDGE FLIPS SWITCH ON 'ORWELLIAN' SPYING OF AMERICANS

Case called 'pinnacle of national importance'

Bob Unruh

A judge has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday in a lawsuit against the National Security Agency’s spy-on-Americans program, which he previously described as “almost Orwellian.”

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon nearly two years ago found that the program likely violates the U.S. Constitution and ordered it to stop. He then put a hold on his ruling to allow the government to appeal.
Now that the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals has disagreed with Leon’s findings and returned the case to him, he will make a ruling on access to evidence in the case.
A large part of the case is over the NSA program’s secrecy. The appeals court said the plaintiffs couldn’t specifically prove their own telephone records were seized by the government, so they couldn’t sue.
But they cannot obtain access to such evidence without a case pending.
The appeals court said the case needed to be returned to Leon, ordering him to review whether “limited discovery” is available to the plaintiffs.
Their attorney, Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, who was joined by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Center for National Security Studies in his arguments, seeks to stop the NSA’s mass collection of telephone data.
The plaintiffs contended that such a bulk collection of data constitutes “an unlawful search under the Fourth Amendment.”
Klayman said the case was the result of whistleblower Edward Snowden’s revelations about the government’s secret spying on Americans.
After the ruling came down from the D.C. Circuit, Judge Leon immediately set a hearing for Wednesday, even rejecting an Obama Justice Department request for another delay.
“It is thus clear that the court intends to move this case along to get to the bottom of the unconstitutional surveillance, and to move it to trial as soon as possible,” Klayman said in a statement.
“We are pleased that Judge Leon is moving quickly to address the continued Orwellian illegal surveillance of all Americans, not just my clients and me. Previously the judge called our case the ‘pinnacle of national importance,’ and I could not agree with him more. Judge Leon is a courageous judge and we are hopeful that he will now implement a procedure to allow us to quickly seek and obtain justice,” Klayman said.
In a recent commentary for WND, Klayman explained that the appellate judges, David Sentelle, Janice Rogers Brown and Steven Williams, are allowing Leon to review whether discovery supports the idea “the NSA had actually accessed Verizon cell phone telephonic records and whether we had sued the correct Verizon company.”
He quoted from the earlier ruling from Leon, who said, “The NSA has collected and analyzed [plaintiffs'] telephony metadata and will continue to operate the program consistent with FISC opinions and orders.”
Klayman accused the appeals court of acting politically, rather than judicially, and explained the NSA “was forced to reveal … that the intelligence agencies routinely use their spy programs to spy on innocent Americans and presumable coerce them into doing what the government wants.”
Klayman told WND he’s confident of prevailing “ultimately.”
“In terms of discovery, I should be able to find out whether we were surveilled or not,” he told WND. “We’re going to win in the end.”
No matter what else results, he said, people are now engaged in the issue and watching the judges for their opinions.
WND recently reported that because of the nearly two-year delay in the decision by the appeals court, Klayman had asked Leon to go ahead and impose his injunction.
At the time, Klayman, in a renewed request for Leon to lift the stay, charged the Obama Justice Department, infected by “delay tactics,” was influencing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which, after 19 months “still has not ruled on the government defendants’ appeal.”
In 2013, Leon found the NSA program appears to run afoul of the Fourth Amendment, and the Justice Department failed to show that collecting the metadata on telephone calls helped to stop terrorist attacks.
Snowden blew the whistle on the agency’s vacuum-cleaner approach to data collection, called “bulk telephony metadata.” That was earlier in 2013, and Snowden has been living in exile in Russia as a wanted man by the U.S. government ever since.
Two of America’s influential civil-rights groups, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have sided with Klayman.
The data that the NSA collects, they explained in a brief, “reveals political affiliation, religious practices and peoples’ most intimate associations.”
“It reveals who calls a suicide prevention line and who calls their elected official; who calls the local tea-party office and who calls Planned Parenthood.”
The brief said “the relevant fact for whether an expectation of privacy exists is that the comprehensive telephone records the government collects – not just the records of a few calls over a few days but all of a person’s calls over many years – reveals highly personal information about the person and her life.”
