The checks and balances in the American system were instituted for the express purpose of combating the rise of a tyrannical and oppressive government. Impeachment is an essential check and balance to keep the executive branch from becoming a King, not a fundraising opportunity! But we have a Congress of cowards. Let’s Talk Impeachment!
Psalm 119:
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
Who are your enemies?
Who is your provider and protector?
What is your source of wisdom?
As I start each day, I want to ask myself these questions. It is important to maintain the proper perspective and focus in this life. When you stand with truth, those who fear the truth will declare themselves your enemy. When you stand with truth you WILL be attacked. If I forget the correct answers to these questions, I will fight for the wrong things; I will argue with the wrong perspective; I will look to the wrong source. “For God is not the author of confusion,” “He is the Truth,” the scripture tells us. If we seek the proper answers to these questions, then God is our source of wisdom; He is our provider and protector; Our enemies are those who sow confusion and those who believe lies. You don’t have to be evil to believe lies. You can believe lies by following the wrong source of wisdom. But lies are the enemy of truth. We must know that.
I want to always have the proper “lamp unto my feet” to guide my way. I want to be confident that those who wish evil against me will do so because they are serving the wrong source, not because I have strayed from the proper path. God is so good to make us promises to provide and protect us. His Word is a love letter to His children. But just as any good parent, God requires us to live with the proper goals and perspective. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness…” He is a just God and cannot support inequity. We must choose to have the proper perspective. We must choose the proper source.
You CANNOT serve two masters. This is a kingdom decision. Whom will you serve, God or mammon? What will be your choices today?
Presidents (yes that is plural) exercise MORE POWER than Kings!
As a matter of fact, the last British King to issue an executive order was James II in 1688. That action was a catalyst to a revolution in Great Britain called the “Glorious Revolution” and brought the British people and the founder of our union a very important Liberty Charter called the English Bill of Rights.
What was James II doing? The English Bill of Rights asserts that James was COMPLETELY DESTROYING Liberty by “writing law, overturning law, and setting aside law” when that power was reserved to Parliament alone! The King was violating separation of powers and stealing power from their legislative body.
In 1688 that was grounds for WAR. In 2014, Congress says they are going to SUE the president.
This proposed law suit is in one of the most worthless and frivolous actions our Congress has ever proposed. Suing the Executive branch in a court stacked with judges by the executive branch is frivolous and DANGEROUS!
What will our Congress do when these courts rule, based upon PRECEDENT-not the Constitution- that this President is operating under proper executive authority?
Because they are too ignorant and too spineless to do what the Constitutional demands in Article 2 section 4 (Impeachment), they are going to establish through the court system that the President has UNLIMITED POWER.
How is it that the people of 1688, with no internet, no CNN, MSNBC, no FOX NEWS, KNEW that when the King stole power from the Legislative branch that was the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION of Liberty and today, we literally do NOTHING!
It is time for We The People and our States to RISE UP and oppose this madness. It is time to STAND for the Constitution and DENY the federal government’s use of unlawful power.
We must STAND NOW or declare our Constitution DEAD at the hands of the very people we elected to preserve it. Stand now or forever hold your peace as you watch your children become enslaved.
Illegal Immigrants have begun to sue the federal government for “mistreatment” and one lawsuit lists actions by the federal government as the “worst experience” of this illegal immigrant’s life. You will be shocked at what this lawsuit alleges. And yet Congress does nothing. Also, today, more examples of the hypocrisy of the ACA and the rule and rein of the federal government over the States. When will the insanity end? Only when We The People end it!
You might be living in a “Constitution-Free” Zone. Nearly 2/3rd of the entire US Population live within 100 miles of the land and coastal border where the government has assumed extraordinary powers to stop and search individuals within this zone. This “Constitution-Free Zone” includes most of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. You might be asking yourself… if the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land, how is that even possible in America? Let’s Get Educated!
Wake up churches, if you have a 501c3 the IRS is coming after you. In a court settlement, the IRS promised the Freedom From Religion Foundation they would actively enforce the IRS code on churches by creating a bureaucracy to actively investigate churches. Time to be Constitutional churches. Time to turn over your 501c3!
Phillipians 3:
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Are you changed in Christ? Who WERE you before? Who ARE you now?
I was not born a Constitutionalist. I did not live my life with an inherent understanding of Liberty and what is necessary to defend it. I was a “dog and an evil worker.”
I was not raised a Christian. For some, these things will be a stumbling block, so you need to know from me.
I was raised a Democrat. The only thing more evil than Satan was a Republican in my home. There were no choices to be made in voting…straight Democrat party line was the only choice.
I was an environmentalist. An ardent environmentalist. Some of my best friends were members of Green Peace and I supported the WWF and PETA. I was a vegetarian by ideology, not for health reasons, for almost 15 years.
I believed in the “good” of scientific manipulations of food and the necessity of vaccines. Not only believed this, but helped create them when I was a biochemist for Monsanto.
I believed in Global Warming and defended it vigorously. I believed in the Big Bang and openly criticized those who believed in creationism as ignorant and misled.
I believed Government’s duty and purpose was to be a provider for the people. I supported programs that would give the government more control over the people. I even believed a One World Government was the best way to go to ensure “global peace.” I supported the principles of socialism, although I cannot claim to have known at the time it was socialism, per se, that I supported.
I supported abortion and often openly condemned others for being pro-life. I have argued with abortion protesters on street corners and called them names that I am not proud of.
I was not only not a Christian, but I practiced many other religions, including many occult versions. I was bitter against God and felt that only ignorant, weak people needed faith. I was too intelligent and too educated for such a feeble crutch. I was a persecutor of Christians.
I was not born with the knowledge that I have now. I did not wake up one morning with a divine epiphany. I traveled a long road. Learned some hard and painful lessons. My beliefs were challenged and I came to know the Truth.
I came to KNOW “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Cor 3:17
This “creature” was “delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Romans 8:21
Now I “walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.” Psalm 119:45
And I am able to “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1
All because one day God touched my heart and showed me just how much LOVE I can really know.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18
Are you changed? Can you stand steadfast in Liberty? If you aren’t, you can be. If you waiver, you can stand. You just have to find the proper foundation. That foundation is TRUTH. And HE is the Way!
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
It’s just that easy.
Right up front there are some things that I need to tell you about myself. I want you to know where I came from and how I got to where I am today. I don’t want to ever be accused of deception or dishonesty. So, in full disclosure:
I was not born a Constitutionalist. I did not live my life with an inherent understanding of Liberty and what is necessary to defend it. I was not raised a Christian. For some, these things will be a stumbling block, so you need to know from me.
I was raised a Democrat. The only thing more evil than Satan was a Republican in my home. There were no choices to be made in voting…straight Democrat party line was the only choice.
I was an environmentalist- a rabid environmentalist. Some of my best friends were members of Green Peace and I supported the WWF and PETA. I beleieved the earth would be better off without humans. I was a vegetarian by ideology, not for health reasons, for almost 15 years.
I believed in the “good” of scientific manipulations of food and the necessity of vaccines. Not only believed this, but helped create them when I was a biochemist for Monsanto.
I believed in Global Warming and defended it vigorously. I believed in the Big Bang and openly criticized those who believed in creationism as ignorant and misled.
I believed Government’s duty and purpose was to be a provider for the people. I supported programs that would give the government more control over the people. I even believed a One World Government was the best way to go to ensure “global peace.” I supported the principles of socialism, although I cannot claim to have known at the time it was socialism, per se, that I supported.
I supported abortion and often openly condemned others for being pro-life. I have argued with abortion protesters on street corners and called them names that I am not proud of.
I was not only not a Christian, but I practiced many other religions, including many occult versions. I was bitter against God and felt that only ignorant, weak people needed faith. I was too intelligent and too educated for such a feeble crutch.
I was not born with the knowledge that I have now. I did not wake up one morning with a divine epiphany. I traveled a long road. Learned some hard and painful lessons. My beliefs were challenged and I came to know the Truth. Now I am a true constitutionalist. I have written 6 books about the Constitution and Liberty. I have a radio show heard by 2 million people evey week. I teach the Constitution all over America and even started my own online training program called “Liberty First University.”
I am able to stand firm on what I believe because I have discovered the difference between truth and lies. I am able to defend the truth because I walked the path. I can show you my path of discovery, and to be guaranteed it is not tied to any political motivation or personal gain…unless you call the liberation that comes from knowing the truth in the face of lies, a personal gain.
So when someone says to you…”Did you know that person used to be associated with this or that group or used to believe this… How can you possibly believe him now?” Remember this story.
It is good to question someone’s “transformation”. You SHOULD do that. If they cannot show you that path, step by step, you should question their motivations.
But do not discount someone’s current position just because of who they USED to be or who they USED to associate with or what they USED to believe. Sometimes it is NOT a selfish or deceptive motivation, but a path to enlightenment.
Do you have a family member who is a progressive? Do you have a co-worker that is hostile to the truth? Don’t give up hope! We have an obligation to bring the truth. When truth is the enemy or the source of hostile response, you know for sure that someone is afraid they are believing lies! Their foundation is being rocked, so keep on rocking! Keep shining that light. Keep walking a consistent walk. Saint Francis of Assisi said, “All… should preach by their deeds.” Let your deeds be Truth, let your walk be Liberty.
Remember, we all had to wake up somehow. All you have to do is take the first step to truth and then Walk Away from the lies.
Psalm 119
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
75 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
Walking in liberty is walking in the way of God. It is understanding that Liberty is a gift from God. It is knowing that God is the giver of knowledge, bounty, and peace. But it is also knowing that God is a God of righteous judgement. Living with God’s gifts and bounty always requires a responsibility. “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:” Luke 12:48 Will you SPEAK of God’s testimonies before Kings and not be ashamed?
This is not a declaration that the Psalmist will “believe”, or “know”, or “understand.” It is a declaration of ACTION…
“I WILL SPEAK AND NOT BE ASHAMED!”
We lose this walk toward Liberty because we are unwilling to act, unwilling to declare, unwilling to SPEAK, so generations FORGET. To teach and remember where our Liberty comes from we MUST SPEAK!
Our founders knew this, yet we have forgotten. Listen to the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson:
“The God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”
Perhaps Jefferson was remarking on the understanding that Liberty as a gift from God requires a sense of responsibility. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
Do you cling to God’s word? Do you seek His understanding? Do you walk after God? If not, then you cannot walk at Liberty. The next question will be, do you know that our God is a God of righteous judgement? Thomas Jefferson knew this; this is what he said:
“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
I find it no coincidence that our Right to Free Speech is codified in the same Amendment as our Right to Freedom of Religion. As Christians we have a duty to walk at Liberty, to seek FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then we must SPEAK! Today is a day to review my path. What am I walking toward? What makes me ashamed? I should always be walking toward Liberty. I should never be ashamed of the gifts of God.
Here is my prayer from this psalm:
124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
I was contacted by concerned citizens in Texas to write a letter to Governor Rick Perry. This is not a Texas border crisis. This is a NATIONAL border crisis. We must express our discontent for the negligence of our governors in their refusal to ACT. Let us work together to secure Liberty!
