Above Rubies Daily Encouragement Blogs

There are many who call for a united world with a one-world government. They desire a one-world currency and a one-world religion. They also desire a one-world leader. These people do not believe there should be any nation stronger or richer than any other nation They believe there should not be one individual richer than any other. They believe that all wealth should be shared by both the rich and the poor of all nations. They believe that only by this happening shall all wars cease and there will be peace on earth and goodwill toward men. This is socialism in simple terms.

The Democratic Party strongly leans in favor of the above and with which they are indoctrinating state schools and colleges. Gradualism is the term used to explain the way strong nations will be brought to compliance to this indoctrination. They accomplish this through teachers and professors infiltrating our government-controlled schools of learning. We have now reached the tipping point.

Students are encouraged to hate our flag and all the symbols of our national pride and history.

Our president, Donald J Trump, declares publicly at his rallies that he is a nationalist and that he loves the United States of America. He is fighting desperately hard to untie all treaties that bind America’s hands and tell us what we can and cannot do Our president does not want international, liberal, new world order socialistic secretaries creating a so-called new world order agenda. At the same time as bringing down our great nation, they expect the American taxpayer to foot the bill for all their crazy socialist agendas.

This is one of the reasons our president is hated by this left-wing media. Our left-wing media, along with the democratic party, do not want America to succeed and be blessed financially. They do not want our military to be strong They want to tear down our borders. They want us to take the responsibility for the mess their corrupt government has created. They do not want our economy to boom.
They do not want our workers to have good jobs,

They want everyone to be government-dependent where government provides a state-run health care system. They do not believe in private enterprise unless they, the government, can control it.

Private enterprise is always superior to government. If government will get out of the way and let the creative, public market place loose, it drives down the prices. The state-run health care will tax us all to death and will tell us who can live and who will die. This is already happening in Western nations where the government has taken full responsibility for the health of its people.

And who is going to pay for all these illegals who have decided to crash their way through our borders? Why, of course, the answer is simple. You and me, the American taxpayers,

The reason we are now in this mess is that we have given the government the right to educate our children in whatever way they think best. And now our traditional morals of sexual behavior and conservative biblical values of character and cultural respect are trampled into the mud of a one-world education system that influences our government by a United Nations agenda.

And many want a universal health care system and it doesn’t matter what the cost.

Are we building another Babylon? And what will God do again?

Genesis 11:1-9 (NLT): “At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.
As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there.
They began saying to each other, ‘Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.’
Then they said, ‘Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.’
But the LORD came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building.
‘Look!” he said. ‘The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!
Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.’
In that way, the LORD scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city.
That is why the city was called Babel, because that is where the LORD confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.”

The theater was full, and the audience very involved with lots of clapping and voices expressing agreement.

Diamond and Silk took us to areas of Democrat Maxine Waters’ electorate. It is the district centered in South Los Angeles County and includes portions of the Los Angeles, Carson, and Torrance. We saw enormous crowds of US citizens camping out on the streets while illegal immigrants are well provided for by the liberal government.

The movie also highlighted areas of San Francisco where hordes of people sleep on the streets, and even poop on the streets. Diamond and Silk had to step around the filth. We saw one young man drop his clothes and excrete human feces right on the foot path in front of everyone. This is creating a serious health hazard. This is Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi’s city.

These two liberal leaders would not accept interviews to discuss these deplorable and obscene problems. San Francisco is a sanctuary city that is a haven for all types of illegal aliens, including the most dangerous types.

Both these cities are gateway cities to the West Coast of America! What a standard for our great nation. This democrat leadership is turning these gateway cities, where many tourists come to visit this country, into animal stock yards. All decency of human, moral behavior is trampled underfoot by so-called progressive, socialist agendaites who have lost all decency of righteous behavior.

They do not want a wall to keep illegals out, but their own mansions are guarded by walls. What hypocrisy.

They show compassion to illegals to get their votes, but they show no compassion towards their own fellow citizens. These democrats only want power so that they themselves can live in luxury

Thank God that black Americans are starting to wake up.

For the righteous to rule, someone must bring righteous children to birth and raise them in the ways of righteousness. It is high time for Christian America to wake up and raise the children God wants us to raise. This is the only way we can fill our government with righteous leaders. It is the only way our cities will be able to rejoice in all the goodness and blessings that flow from our Father in Heaven who is the God of all righteousness.

A famous black singer, Andre Crouch, wrote and sung a song entitled, Jesus is the Answer:

Jesus is the answer for the world today
Above Him there’s no other, Jesus is the way.

Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”

When folks no longer want to pray
And seek the Lord to know His way
For sloth and ease have broken in
And robbed the church of the power to win.

Then do not let this crippling sin
Take hold of you and lock you in
Buckle up as ne’er before
Take hold of Heaven and knock its door.

Smash every tendency to be
Like others around who cannot see
When the tempting battle gets to boilin’
Treat the world as deadly poison!

No matter how many may be your foes
They will never stand your knockout blows
When all around are misbehaving
Sound the trumpet with banners waving.

Though the world and devils around may scoff
Just lift your sword and write them off
There’s no time to mess about,
Tell the lazy ones, “Stop being a lout!”

For there will be a sure reward
For those who diligently seek the Lord
It’s true you see, the surest way to victory
Is always on the bended knee.

God sees beyond the present generation.

We trust that our senators will confirm Judge Cavanaugh to the Supreme Court tomorrow. If not, we will have to live with the consequences of our own unbelief.

We have been a limiting generation who did not have enough faith in God to provide for more than the average two-member families we have today. And yet we are one of the richest nations in the world.

I trust that God will be merciful and give us a strong and righteous judge who will interpret our constitution the way the founders created it to be interpreted and acted upon.

Numbers 14:31: “But your little ones which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in and they shall know the land which ye have despised.”

There are politicians who want unlimited immigration of cultures and backgrounds, who despise Christianity and Judeo/Christian ethics. At the same time, they want our families to be limited. We desperately need to pray that God will even yet raise up a new generation of young voters who believe that our great God is more than able to provide for as many children that He wants us to have.

Where are the arrows to shoot forth from godly, conservative, righteous upright families to fill all branches of our government?

Psalm 127:1: ”Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” America desperately needs married couples who will let God build their homes.

Psalm 27:3: “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” America needs Christian couples who will acknowledge that children they bring into the world are rewards from the Lord.

Psalm 127:4: “As arrows in the hand of a mighty man (a warrior), so are children of the youth.” America needs believing couples who will raise their children to be arrows, sent forth from their bows to make America great again. Arrows that will hit the mark and destroy all that is wrong in America today. Arrows that will impact this nation for good and vote in leaders of moral backbone.

Psalm 127:5: “Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” The opposition to moral conservatism fears Christians having larger families. What is the power that drives two-memeber families. Of course. It is the devil himself who hates life and hates children. He does all he can to deceive. He wants us to doubt God’s ability to provide. He wants us to be self-centered. He wants us to avoid a sacrificial life style.

He wants women out of their homes. He does not want them to understand the value of building a godly home. Multitudes of women are sacrificing their precious children on the altars of their careers. The men are blinded to see the importance of the mothers in the home. Mothers, families, and homes are almost synonymous terms.

God never intended that so-called Christian America should struggle to have enough votes to win an election that will defeat corruption and bring peace and prosperity. It is high time we stopped limiting godly families.

Are we concerned about the mid-term elections? Yes, we are. We need many more votes. Wake up Christian America before it’s too late.

Psalm 37:25: “I have been young and now am old: yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendteh and his see is blessed.” God promises that the children you thought you couldn’t afford will be a blessing. They will help turn the tide in our nation.

Painting by John Walter: Family Evening by the Fire. (1967)

Last week my wife and I spent a week at Laguna Beach in Florida (our annual family vacation). A large number of family and friends were with us which always adds to the fun.

After traveling all day in our vehicles, we arrived at our destination on the beach. We got out of our cars and immediately knew that something was very wrong with the atmosphere. There was a strong smell in the air and we all immediately began coughing as if someone had released hot pepper into the air.

The manager had not yet arrived to unlock the house which family members had rented for the week and so we had to stay outside coughing our hearts out. We went down to the surf and beheld thousands of of dead fish washed up on the shore. The machine came down the beach every night to gather them all up.

Finally, we got into the house and got the A/C going which brought considerable relief. We soon discovered that many of the beaches in Florida were experiencing what is known as a red tide. It is an algae that blooms in costal areas around the world. It kills certain fish and is harmful to humans, especially causing respiratory problems. Eating shell fish (and other fish) can be dangerous if they are contaminated with the algae.

As a family we immediately went to binding and losing in prayer. We asked God to work a miracle for us. The next morning, we woke up to a beautiful day without any trace of the smell. No more coughing. No more dead fish coming up with the tide. The beach remained perfect for the entire week of our stay. Praise God who loves to answer family prayers.

This was an outstanding miracle for us. I mention it to prove that God still loves to work miracles when families pray the prayers of agreement (Matthew 18:18-20).

There is another tide threatening the USA and it’s called The Blue Wave, the political party that wants to destroy conservative values. They want to keep abortion on demand, support the homosexual agenda, bring down moral values, raise taxes, and turn America into an extreme socialist state controlled by a one world government.

Extreme socialism (communism) has always hated and persecuted Christians. Take North Korea for example, the No. 1 persecutor of Christians in the world. And now China has recently begun a resurgence of persecution and is doubling down against Christians.

The blue wave gives lip service to our constitution, but in their hearts, they want to destroy it. America is one of the most blessed countries in the world, perhaps the most blessed. And yet this blue wave will never be satisfied, no matter how much God has favored us.

The blue wave is a humanistic wave which has no place for God. When God is removed from society all moral restraint is removed.

But just as our family prayers bound the tide of death and destruction on the beach last week in Florida, even so we can bind this blue wave of atheism, humanism, and extreme socialism which threatens our godly values.

There has never been a more important time to gather your family around you and pray to the Father in Heaven through the name of His Son, Jesus Christ to destroy this blue wave of lies and deception.

Isaiah 59:19: “So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. when the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.”

You, your wife, and your family can be that standard (banner) to send the enemy packing.

GOD IS MORE THAN WILLING TO ANSWER YOUR FAMILY PRAYERS.

Begin today.

The fight for integrity is on right now in our nation. Washington needs leaders of high integrity. The Supreme Court needs men and women of high integrity.

It is appalling, alarming, and grieving to observe day after day the smear tactics and lies hurled at the Donald Trump appointee to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has already been thoroughly examined and vetted by the due process of our government. However, because the opposition party are scared of another conservative appointee to our Supreme Court they are throwing all integrity to the wind. They are resorting to outright lies and smearing on an unprecedented scale to stop this righteous and highly qualified man.

They are scared out of their brains that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

They have judged without proof a man who is known amongst his fellow men and women as a gentleman and one who treats all women with respect. Without a trial. Without being proved guilty. They no longer heed the longstanding precedent of our nation that a person is “innocent until proved guilty.”

Fathers and mothers, gather your children around you and pray earnestly that Brett Kavanaugh will be successful in his nomination. Pray that our leaders will see through the lies and the dirty allegations to Christian families.

We can certainly turn back the tide of evil in our nation if we pray the prayers of agreement. Bring these Scriptures before the Lord.

Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me saith the LORD.”

Isaiah 59:19: “So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood the Spirit of the ORD shall lift up a standard against him.”

Matthew 18:18-20: “Verily I say unto you, WHATSOEVER ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Families who pay in agreement are powerful families. Notice that the Scripture doesn’t limit the prayer of agreement to church disputes when it uses the word “whatsoever.” This word is all encompassing and is also used in John 15:16: “WHATSOEVER ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

Governments no longer pray, although there are individuals within the government who pray. Sadly, even in many churches prayer is not given the prominence it deserves. And yet right now, we need the Lord of Hosts, the Lord of the Armies of Heaven to fight for us and with us. We can no longer look to the government to save us from the floodtide of evil that threatens the drown us.

But praise be to God, where two or three are gathered in Jesus Christ’s name, He will come in the midst of them.

This is where families have their greatest authority and honor. Fathers and mothers, for the sake of this nation and your future, turn your family into a praying family.
