Is Secular America Worse than ISIS?


We’re all up in arms over what ISIS is doing, and Hamas is doing, etc. But, is there a difference between what ISIS is doing under their leader and what our American government is doing under our leader?

ISIS has come against Iraq’s existing power of authority to make the people surrender to their extreme evil control, or else die. Obama and his regime keep coming against our existing power of authority (our Constitution and ignoring our laws) with their own governing agenda to make people conform to “the new America,” or else face the costly consequences. They aren’t taking our physical lives, like ISIS, (not yet) but they are taking our livelihood: our jobs, our properties and our money with higher and higher taxes and penalties for breaking ‘their’ laws and policies.

ISIS is cutting the heads off children. America’s education system is filling the ‘heads’ of children with lies and deception so that they will believe - evil is good and good is evil; killing any potential for righteousness in the next generation. 

ISIS is taking children from their mothers. America proudly and lawfully lets abortionists take babies from their mother’s wombs; a holocaust that has not been stopped by our government. America has removed the Bible and prayer from its schools and thus children are being killed at school and taken from their mothers and fathers. America is taking children away from the strength and influence of the “godly home” with mothers working outside the home to help pay the rising taxes and increasing prices of everything (thanks to our government’s incompetence and greed). The power in control is against homeschooling mothers who teach God’s truth and the Bible as the greater knowledge. Many are attacked and threatened to have their children taken from them.

ISIS is raping girls and women/selling them into sex slavery. America gives free birth control for everyone at the expense of tax payers who are against funding it and against funding Planned Parenthood any longer. America now legalizes abortion at almost every stage so women can have all the sex they want without the children that naturally come along with sexual intercourse, and so that men can use women sexually without any consequence.  This is also sex-slavery!

ISIS take-over is destroying and separating families. America has destroyed the family by re-defining the “family” and giving homosexuals the rights of “marriage” so they can increase and thrive all the more in our land of freedom and opportunity.  I don’t believe this is what our founding fathers had in mind with “freedom” and “opportunity.”    

ISIS is killing Christians. America is taking our religious freedom away, punishing by new law and misinterpretation of existing laws, if we speak publicly about Jesus Christ and what God says in His word.

ISIS is cutting off supplies to people. America is over-regulating and preventing our self sufficiency and rights to build our supply of natural resources such as in farming, oil, water storage, etc.

People from all over the world, from all nations, are flooding over to join ISIS. America has opened her borders for people to flood in illegally and begin living off the tax-payers against their will; quickly planting them all over our nation. There is a hidden agenda for this allowance/amnesty by our ‘anti-American ‘side of our government.

ISIS does all this by force, against the will of the Iraqi people, but America does this with the support and silence of its people.

The army of “takers” is building in America and becoming more and more hostile. Sadly to say, our self-indulgent bulging government leads the way in this. Under the current administration this part of society has rapidly increased. Protests and riots are nothing more than ‘takers’ looking for their opportunity to take all the more.

SO, which is more evil and destructive? The blatant transparent one or the deceiving cloaked one?  WHO should we be more aware of?  WHAT is each accomplishing? HOW should we be uniting as God’s people that have His Name, His Word, and His Victory?

Fear God who can destroy body, soul and spirit; for man can only destroy the body. Pray for our brothers and sisters in the other parts of this world going through extreme persecution. Pray that they remain faithful to Jesus Christ; not denying Him so that they hold on to that crown reserved for their faithfulness. Jesus will receive them with open arms!

Just because we know what is coming, and that can not be stopped ‘as prophesied,’ doesn’t mean we just ignore these things happening in our own nation, as if we have no responsibility.  Our children and grandchildren are in jeopardy and if we just sit back and remain silent and inactive – what will our unfaithful ‘neglect’ mean for them?  Sure there will be a cost to us, but our children need to see this as we stand for Jesus Christ, His Word and His kingdom – or they won’t either. Do we understand the cost and shame of unfaithfulness?    

The Hebrews slaves in Egypt didn’t realize who they were or what they had “as God’s people,” so they remained shameful slaves under the extreme heavy yoke of Pharaoh; living generation after generation with increasing oppression as they served Egypt’s idolatrous ways, even conforming themselves. This was their judgment for not continuing on in their obedience to God. It wasn’t until Moses came on the scene that they began to repent, remember God’s commands and promises, and to unite as one nation under God. Through bold and faithful Moses they received their freedom to worship God, against Pharaoh’s will, and to live out their God-given rights, and therefore, to be a blessing to all the nations. 

I heard it said by a very wise and hopeful American conservatist that the conservatists (that is true God-fearing American patriots of our Constitution) are just waiting for that ‘someone’ to MOBILIZE us! He went on to say that finally there has been ‘conservative media’ speaking up in support of how we feel and what we believe needs to happen with and in our government, but now we need to see this same courage happening in the political realm as well – with our government leaders. This is what this man said, but I want to add, that we also need to see this same courage and truth coming out in the realm of the Lord’s Church in America, with ‘all’ pastors speaking up with the ‘whole’ truth; that are not afraid of persecution and losing their non-profit tax exemption or losing members who are not really a part of the body of Christ anyway, but rather leading their congregations in true repentance, and then in godly wisdom and courage - mobilizing their congregations to action accordingly, no matter the cost.  

I think that’s what true Americans have been doing: waiting for “someone” to lead the way nationally.  But, maybe that “someone” is the One the Bible’s prophecies are about: the coming of the King of kings and Lord of lords. What if there is ‘no one’ in our country, or any other country – to boldly and powerfully mobilize the people for righteousness sake? What if what we have been reading in Scripture about that last beast with his mark of the one-world order – is what we are in store for? What if we are the generation that lives to see the coming of our KING!  

America used to be a blessing to other nations, but now America is a hypocrite nation on the brink of utter destruction! We need to seriously repent as a nation. And, because we have not publicly repented and called on God corporately with humility – we have not had God to defend us as He used to do.  America is quickly becoming a land of thorns and thistles; worthless to God and to her own people. The cry and warning has been going out from God’s servants even before the wake-up call of 9/11; that of:

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
~ 2 Chronicles 7:14-15

But, what are we seeing? More and more judgments on us! More fires than ever. More earthquakes than ever! More severe storms, one right after the other! Droughts spreading! Increased sickness and diseases! Legalized and funded abortion at any stage, and all types of birth control, and artificial processes for child conception, and cloning – God help us! Homosexuals marrying and raising children in the same way! Public schools must now teach that evil is good and good is evil to America’s children! More and more anti-Americans: terrorists and leaches on our welfare system flooding in without any restrictions! There is more and more unrest all over the world because God is not feared or obeyed. Christians (and pastors) falling to temptation and buckling under the threats of those who will not put up with anymore of the truth of God’s Word! Etc. Etc. Etc. 

So, based on all this rapid progression of wickedness – would you say that God’s healing has begun in the land?!!!!!!  The healing comes to our own soul and spirit, even to our physical body, as we trust in Jesus Christ and do His will.

Maybe we will see America saved and maybe we won’t. I don’t believe we will and that we need to prepare for persecution and really hard-times in America.  But, let us not forget that all the promises in Christ Jesus are still “YES!”  And, we who stand and act on these promises are the “AMEN!” 

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you was not ‘Yes’ and ‘No,’ but in him it has always been ‘Yes!’ For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. 

He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.”
~2 Corinthians 1:18-22

Jesus knew what time it was when He had to suffer, and so He told His disciples to stay awake praying so they would not fall into temptation to do or say the wrong things that would obstruct the work of God. Jesus does not want us to be regretful. He works in us so that we will be ready and rewarded. So we must be disciplined in first knowing what we should know from the Holy Spirit of God’s Word, and then staying alert PRAYING in the SPIRIT. God will lead us in what He wants us to do, and show us the way of escape when it’s time.

“We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away”
~Hebrews 2:1

The Lord’s Kingdom will be filled with all the things that mattered most in this life; that is those things of ‘true eternal value;’ filled with the faithful people throughout time who paid careful attention to the Word of God in order to live it out in their lives at any cost. This is how we “pay” careful attention to what we have heard – so that we do not drift away from the truth and love of God in Christ Jesus. For as it was in the days of Noah – the cup (the world) of inequity is full and foaming; ready for every last judgment we’ve been told about in the book of Revelation. And just like it was in the days of Noah – God has His redemptive plan of renewing all things.

“Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.  Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
~Revelation 22:11-13
