The sad reality of how non-discerning people are led astray
Have you ever wondered why there is such a vicious and never-ending war being waged against God-made non-toxic food, wholesome natural supplements, and alternative forms of healthcare and disease prevention? Have you ever wondered why an equally intense war is directed against those who profess faith in Jesus Christ?

The Bible clearly warns us to beware of mind-controlling influences in society.
Colossians 2:8 says:
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.”
It’s becoming increasingly apparent to even low-information voters in America that there is a spiritual – God originated – agenda behind the awakening recovery of righteousness in America.
The public acknowledgement of God’s saving intervention in the preservation Donald Trump’s life, followed by his astonishing landslide re-election to the office of the most influential position in the world, has had a huge public impact on at least the mental recognition that God is at work. Some other nations are experiencing fearless and godly voices arising to prominence in them … and that’s getting a lot attention as well.
Christian people are so busy doing whatever their immediate circumstances demand that they rarely take time to learn about the horrific tragedies that are happening to their fellow believers in many countries of the world. If most of us even take the time to pray about it, we hardly would think that there’s anything much we can do about it, besides giving money to help missionaries who are called to ‘disciple the nations.’ But if you stay with me today, you’re going to hear what could be one of the most world-changing possibilities that’s more realistic than we would ever have believed just a few months ago.
The whole world witnessed in the four years from 2020 to 2024, what some would say was the most tyrannical suppression of freedom in human history. Would you say that Almighty God has been using the horrible outcomes of recent times to awaken His people to prayer and action that is resulting in some pretty amazing changes in the affairs of whole nations?
I got an email from Neil Mammen, President of Values Advocacy Council, that presents one of the most assertive and timely plans for Christian people to pray about and act on that I could imagine for such a time as this. Because I thought this is so worthy of your time today, I’m going to share Neil’s message with you.
It begins with a stunning question: “What If Trump Did What No Other President Dared and Protected Persecuted Christians around the World?” [From email to subscribers on 5/27/2025]
The Epidemic of tragic symptoms happening everywhere is now proven to link to mass poisoning by injection.
You don’t have to be a Christian to have natural human empathy and the desire to protect or care for friends and loved ones who are in danger because of something of which they were unaware was threatening their well-being. Our challenge today is how to help people break free of the indoctrination and propaganda that they’ve been wholly committed to for most of their lives by institutions and highly educated people that they trusted.
In recent years, we’ve all learned a lot about massive deception, widespread fraud and vast public propaganda regarding health and disease prevention. One of the many hard-working, medical-freedom-loving, health care professionals who has been sharing his research openly for everyone to benefit is Dr Bryan Ardis. You can access his discussion of some of his background and remarkable discoveries on a past episode of Reclaiming Your Legacy, linked in today’s transcript.
When God’s people recognize that the path of the society around them is collapsing, the prophets of the Bible give us an unmistakably clear assignment, if we’re willing to accept it… Be a generation called to rebuild the ancient paths.
The confusion and uncertainty assaulting humanity worldwide today is being identified by many as an all-out strategy of destructive warfare from the Enemy of mankind himself. So, what is the ‘assignment’ God has for His people in the middle of such alarming chaos?
The 58th chapter of the prophet Isaiah declares clearly, Almighty God’s displeasure with the superficial, self-centered, and hypocritically empty religious rituals of His people. Instead, He desires a deeper and personally more authentic form of worship, defined by distinctive actions. And biblical worship – let’s not miss it – is a sacrificially devoted spiritual life-style, not just a weekly religious exercise.
When you examine Isaiah 58 .. let God’s Spirit show you where your life can better express what God identifies as “the fast” that He chooses. That kind of a Messiah-following discipleship is characterized by several features. All of them require some effort and humbly asking God for personal direction. Remember one of the central themes of the Bible: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct (or make straight) your paths” (Proverbs 3:6). Your what? Your PATHS.
Justice and righteousness is high on His list: Can we do anything to break the chains of injustice? Are there oppressed people whom we can help to free? Can we remove blame shifting and speaking wickedness? (read Isaiah 58:6-9).
Caring for the vulnerable is naturally a priority with God: Can we find ways to share our food with the hungry? Can we invite a poor homeless one into our home? What about clothing those who are truly naked and needy? (read Isaiah 58:7). If we do, He promises “your light will break out like the dawn” (vs 8)… “you will call and the LORD will answer” (vs 9).
Humility and sincerity are traits deserving our daily introspection: We just cannot allow ourselves to use devotional sacrifices like fasting as an excuse to exploit workers, or quarrel with others, or engage in self-righteousness (read Isaiah 58:3-5).
True selfless devotion is assured God’s special turn arounds in your life: Fasting accompanied by “giving yourself” to those in need and “satisfying the desire of the afflicted” will result eventually in “your light rising out of darkness” and “your gloom becoming like midday.” (read Isaiah 58:10).
Could you imagine how the enemy of humanity might possibly scheme to deceive the masses by employing professional institutions that were once trusted to be a friend?
If there exists one clearly understood fact about the devil, of which practically every true follower of Jesus is very aware, it’s his number one characteristic – he’s the master deceiver. Revelation 12:7 identifies that serpent of old as “Satan, who deceives the whole world.”
Can you imagine… tricking the whole world of humanity to almost universally believe in a lie?
When facing monumental Change and trials ahead how are we to go?
When I was a young teen growing up, I found a book in my grandmother’s collection (she was an avid reader of good books and the Readers Digest). It was “Men to Match My Mountains,” by Irving Stone.
The cover of the book was a picture of the snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountain range. In the foreground on the golden prairies below, was a small train of covered wagons… Those pioneers were facing the biggest obstacle of their months-long journey across America’s vast plains.
Men to Match My Mountains is a true historical masterpiece. It’s an unforgettable pageant of giants—men like John Sutter. His dream of paradise was shattered by the California Gold Rush. Brigham Young and the Mormons were extraordinary men too. They tamed the desert with Bible texts. Frontier America called for greatness …and got it. Nothing in history can match the stories of the pioneers who braved the challenges of the wilderness to bring our young nation to the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
How do you restore a fallen country, culture, society?
Prayerful Education of Christians must begin with parents and pastors to restore a fallen country
Is there any doubt that we’re living in “perilous times?”
Proverbs 29:2 says:
“When the righteous are increased (or flourish in number and authority), the people rejoice; But when the wicked (man) rules, the people groan.”
Is it any wonder we’re hearing a lot of groaning these days? And it’s not so much because of the ordinary stresses of life really, is it? A lot of our complaining is the direct result of governing over-reach into the private affairs of citizens. From where does corruption in political government come? Isn’t it from the infection of every nation or organization that is ruled by self-serving leaders? But the policing part of the public government equation is increasingly necessary only because of the epidemic lack of Godly morality and self-control among the public at large. George Washington, John Adams and others insisted that those two things were absolutely essential for the preservation of our constitutional republic.
Have you been amazed at how so many people can be so easily deceived? Even people who seem to be fairly even-tempered and practice common sense are surprising some of us when they reveal that they have bought into various common lies in today’s culture. It seems sometimes that many people have completely lost their minds. They’ve lost their ability to think… to reason… to discern what’s really true. So consequently, confusion prevails. And where confusion prevails you inevitably have a pandemic of fear. And when people are prone to fear they tend to make hasty and bad choices. And that only leads to more confusion plus a flood of hopelessness. They are set up to bow to a false authority, promising them deliverance and unable to deliver it, or they are prepared to hear good news that can change their lives for eternity.
Jesus predicted in two of the gospel accounts that “false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24, and Mark 13:22). When we see how effective the main stream media has been at persuading half the population of the entire world into the most spectacular deception in history, perhaps we can be more discerning.
The overwhelming election of Donald Trump in 2024 is the defining moment of history for our generation… as much as the Emancipation Proclamation was in Abraham Lincoln’s generation. Now the stage is set for the world-defining battle of our generation.
If ever there was a time in our generation for all of us, as believers in Almighty God, to rejoice with thanksgiving and humble reliance on our Savior’s mercy… Now this is that time.
We have cried out to God for His deliverance… from what seemed to most of us to be the potential end of American sovereignty… and He has graciously … in His sovereign rule as King of all kings… allowed us – as a nation – His temporary reprieve from what has seemed like inevitable judgment to most Christian students of history.
Looking at many of the defining markers of a culture, the moral landscape of American society is inescapably identified by things that most fair-minded people would label as worthy of judgment. Even the typical, relatively law-abiding citizen of this country, would likely admit that we are more preoccupied with tolerating evil than doing much to stop it.
We are humbled by God’s mercy to withhold what we, as a nation deserve, while granting us, who are called out to be His ‘salt and light’… the opportunity to change our course as we look to the leadership for the next generation.
And what a remarkable slate of victories is given to us to steward now!
At the top of the list, Trump won the popular vote… that means he received over 50% of all the votes across the nation that were cast… with over 72 million votes.
Trump secured the Electoral College in excess of the 270 votes needed to win… mayb as many as 300
The GOP won the Senate majority with 54+ seats.
The GOP won the House of Representatives majority.
Trump has the support of the Military.
Trump has the support of the majority of the Supreme Court.
Most important… Trump has the confident support of the majority of the people.
Trump’s comeback win is undoubtedly one of the most significant accomplishments in America’s political history. Even his enemies have resentfully admitted this.
I think it’s helpful for us to hear some of the comments from President elect Trump during his victory speech after 2am in the night after the voting places closed on November 5th.
Trump addressed supporters following the victory, acknowledging God’s protection on his life.
TRUMP quotes from his 2024 election victory speech:
4:20 “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate…
19:19 “This will forever be remembered as the day the American people regained control of their country.
22:13 “This is also a massive victory for democracy and freedom. Together, we’re going to unlock America’s glorious destiny. We’re going to achieve the most incredible future for our people.
23:08 “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason. (cheers) And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. Now, we are going to fulfill that mission together. We’re going to fulfill that mission. The task before us will not be easy but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fight that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me. This is a great job.. there’s no job like this. This is the most important job in the world. I will govern by a simple motto: Promises made – Promises kept.”
We all know that America has no king but “We the people.” But we realize that we delegate our authority to those elected to represent us. Unfortunately, for many generations.. all too many of our elected representatives have sold the influence they are assigned to wealthy corporate tycoons who put their own interests ahead of the American people. That’s why the MAGA movement has motivated so many voters to put their trust in a man who has demonstrated by his actions that he serves his office as executive with noble character, worthy of that trust.
We know that the deeply corrupted political elite class… and all the heavily deluded supporters of the losing side of this war between God and evil… are continuing to do whatever they can to disrupt and demoralize the citizens of the country. But that gives all of us ..all the more motivation to work hard and continue praying for what is now the very real hope for positive changes ahead in our communities across the land.
Hope for a stop to the massive illegal immigrant invasion fostered by the previous administration.
Hope for the removal of the threat of war and the fear of sending our sons and daughters into foreign wars.
Hope for the rightful prosecution of all those who’ve participated in the scandalous trafficking of children and others, used to devastate the morality of our generation.
Hope for eliminating huge economic waste in the governmental administration of our country.
Hope for the removal of wicked authoritarian mandates leading to the demoralization and literal destruction of millions of lives under the guise of public health regulation.
Hope for the return of public education policy-making to the states of our republic.
Hope for the return of jobs to Americans that were exported unnecessarily to foreign nations.
Hope for the elimination of abusive and unnecessary taxation of American families.
Hope for the return of the ability of working families to educate their children according to their personally held values and beliefs.
Hope for the return of basic freedoms to peacefully speak out in public without fear of being censored, marginalized, and demonized by corrupted agents of corporatocracy.
Hope for the increasing courage of Christ-loving people to influence every sphere of life in this country for the glory of God.
Hope for the invigoration of the younger generation with a strong moral cause to fight for the righteous goals of humanity.
Hope for the total exposure of the insanely ridiculous ideas embraced by immoral globalists to confuse our young people about their awesome unique identity in the image of their Creator.
Hope for opening of our younger generation’s spiritual ‘eyes’ to see and embrace the amazing grace and mercy of our Savior.
Hope for the return to the naturally healthy and simpler ways to stay healthy through food and medicine that is not dictated by big corporations whose only motive is profit.
Hope for the removal of America’s support for globalist-run international agencies like the UN.
Our Divine Mandate to Pray for Rulers
As always, God’s people must do what Paul admonishes us in 1 Timothy 2:1-4.
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
This is compelling reasoning for us to vote for those in authority who best reflect our Creator’s order for their assignments. That way we can “pray for those in authority” … knowing that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives… and be able to share the gospel with everyone we are entrusted to influence for God’s glory.
Proverbs 21:1 reminds us, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.”
Daniel the prophet made an historic declaration when he, as a young prisoner of Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar, was faced with the impossible task of determining the very essence of the king’s dream, as well as the interpretation of it. It is written in the second chapter of Daniel’s book in the Bible.
He wrote: “Let the name of God be blessed for ever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding” (Daniel 2:20-21).
This, and other Bible passages, leads us disciples of Jesus Christ… to acknowledge that God Most High is sovereign of all earthly rulers and monarchs.
1 Chronicles 29:11-12: “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.”
1 Timothy 6:13, 15: “…God Who gives life to all things…is the …only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Psalm 47:1-3 “Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.”
Now that we know the undeniable choice of America’s voting citizens, the great choice before us all is “will Americans, with hearts for righteousness …prioritize their commitment to fight for their sons and daughters… by engaging in the battle for the exaltation of truth… in a world darkened by strong powers that are committed to the destruction of our Almighty God’s kingdom of Light and Life?”
When the pioneering people of Nehemiah’s time – when he was commissioned to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem – were threatened by embedded enemies, they were encouraged to take courage.
Nehemiah told the people, “Do not be afraid of them; remember the LORD who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses” (Neh 4:14).
And get this… it applies so much to what has been recently happening in our own nation. Nehemiah 4:15 tells us, “And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that their plan was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.”
Did you hear that? When did Nehemiah report that all of his people returned to their work on the wall? It was when their enemies heard that their evil, destructive plans were made known to Nehemiah’s people. That was when God brought their counsel to nothing… no doubt giving great encouragement to the people of God to focus completely on their work.
In the providences of the Most High God, we can see in the events of history… many parallels with how God’s redemption reflect familiar Bible accounts. The many disturbing events that led up to God’s virtually miraculous restoration of President Trump to the leadership of what we call the modern ‘free world’ have been difficult for all of us to experience. But… without them we would not have the exposure of the evil that has been secretly behind the scenes of so much wickedness in our world. And now that the great awakening of millions of people across the world has begun, we have more reason than ever to expect that God is leading the remnant warriors in His kingdom to participate in the salvation of millions who will be equipped to fight the good fight of spiritual warfare to destroy the works of the devil in our time. Do you recall how the LORD’s word to Moses encouraged the people in Deuteronomy as they prepared to begin the conquest of the promised land full of giant enemies of Yahvay? It’s in chapter 7… where we’re told…
Deuteronomy 7
21 You shall not dread them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. 22 The LORD your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, for the wild beasts would grow too numerous for you. 23 But the LORD your God will deliver them before you, and will throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed.
Now that God has given His victory over the evil forces that hindered His uniquely appointed ‘Sampson’ to bring deliverance to Americans, who’ve been ‘groaning’ under ridiculous puppet leadership… are you ready for the end of the deep state?
Listen to President-Elect Trump’s Plan to Dismantle the Deep State and Return Power to the American People.
President Trump’s Plan to Dismantle the Deep State and Return Power to the American People. Here’s my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.
First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the President’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively.
Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.
Third, we will totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it, they’re lied to.
Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption, and there are plenty of them.
Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.
Sixth, we will make every Inspector General’s Office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.
Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.
Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions can be moved out. And I mean immediately out of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America.
Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. Doesn’t work that way—such a public display cannot go on and it’s taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma.
Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.
Thank you very much.
Wow… After hearing President Trump declare these much-needed plans to restore the control of America’s government to ‘We the People,’ all of us certainly should have great relief and much reason to rejoice for the ambitious future and hope that has been set before us. We must ramp up our intercession as never before. We must declare truth like never before. We must disciple the next generation like never before. We must take our ‘We the People’ position as ‘King” in America like never before. In the simplest summary of our assignment… we must restore the conscience of Believers to truly be the ‘salt and light’ as our Savior’s Ambassadors to a generation that’s been held hostage and is about to be set free.
The fierce war in heaven
There is a fierce war going on in the spirit realm …and millions of believers are awakening to the reality of it… so they can join their own souls to the righteous eternal cause of our Heavenly King.
Remember… the last book of the Bible – Revelation – tells us, “They overcame their enemies by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.” (Rev 12:11). But the principle of that future expectation of prophecy has application even in today’s drama of the war between good and evil. Hear the passage that begins in verse 7 of Revelation 12…
7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, 8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying,
“Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God, day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. 12 For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who [dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.”
God is not yet finished with the nation we call America. He’s not finished with His people. He’s not finished with you and me. We’ve been given assignments to be Watchmen on the walls of humanity. (Ezekiel 33) We are empowered with spiritual gifts by the Spirit of our Savior to cast down every evil imagination raised up against the knowledge of God (2 Cor 10:5). But it takes our personal commitment to ‘ABIDE’ in His Word (John 15:7). Only in His Word are we able to be “wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15). And that is only possible because His Word really is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” … so “that the man o f God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Tim 3:17).
By God’s inexhaustible grace we are given the capacity to be both ready and able for the work that has been set before us. If there’s anything that God has shown me through the gifted tenacity and tempered endurance of Donald Trump, it is that God’s people are seeing a living example of the relentless nature of our Redeemer to endure the battle against evil to the end with both courage and confidence in the purpose our Creator places in each of us.
Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4)… Therefore…
I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me (Phil 4:13). Why? Because…
“He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us.” (Eph 3:20).
Therefore, let’s all be careful how we walk in this world… not as unwise men, but as wise… and make the most of our time because we know the days are evil (Eph 5:15-16).
