THERE IS NO OTHER BOOK WHERE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD IS SO EASILY TAUGHT: THAT THE LORD OF HOSTS CONTROLS EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE PERSONALLY AND EVERY ASPECT OF AMERICA. ABRAHAM LINCOLN TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD THIS AND CALLED IT THE “OVERRULING POWER OF GOD”. THUS IN ORDER FOR THE LORD OF HOSTS TO BE OUR OVERRULING POWER, TO THE GOOD, WE MUST APPROACH HIM IN SACKCLOTH AND ASHES AS DID ESTHER AND THE JEWS IN A STATE OF HUMILIATION FASTING AND PRAYER AS DID ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON APRIL 30TH 1863 AND JUST TWO MONTHS LATER THE LORD OF HOSTS GAVE ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND HIS UNION ARMY A PIVOTAL VICTORY OVER THE ELITE GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE AND HIS CONFEDERATE ARMY AT GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
16th President of the United States: 1861 ‐ 1865
Proclamation 97—Appointing a Day of National Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer
March 30, 1863
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Whereas the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the supreme authority and just government of Almighty God in all the affairs of men and of nations, has by a resolution requested the President to designate and set apart a day for national prayer and humiliation; and
Whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord;
And, insomuch as we know that by His divine law nations, like individuals, are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do by this my proclamation designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. And I do hereby request all the people to abstain on that day from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite at their several places of public worship and their respective homes in keeping the day holy to the Lord and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.
All this being done in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the divine teachings that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high and answered with blessings no less than the pardon of our national sins and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 30th day of March, A. D. 1863, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-seventh.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State .
IF YOU HAVE EVER HAVE WONDERED IF THE SCRIPTURES DEFINITIVELY PROVE THAT JESUS IS GOD, THEN THIS MESSAGE BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD IS THE MESSAGE TO LISTEN TO FOR HE EASILY AND SUCCINCTLY SHOWS FOR ALL TO SEE THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST.
ALSO HE PROVES THAT GOOD WORKS FOLLOW THE NEW CREATION, NOT VICE VERSA OR COLLABORATIVELY.
EXCERPTS FROM GEORGE WHITEFIELDS SERMON ENTITLED: ‘WHAT THINK YE OF CHRIST’
“Besides, many Deceivers are gone abroad into the World.
Mere Heathen Morality,
and not
JESUS CHRIST, is preached in most of our Churches.
And how should People think rightly of CHRIST, of whom they have scarcely heard?
Do bear with me a little then, whilst, to inform your Consciences,
I ask you a few Questions concerning JESUS CHRIST:
For
there is no other Name given under Heaven, whereby we can be saved, but his.
And First,
What think you 〈…〉 the Person of CHRIST?
Whose Son is he?
This is the Question our LORD put to the Pharisees in the Words fol|lowing the Text;
and
never was it more necessary to repeat this Question than in these last Days.
For Numbers
that are called after the Name of CHRIST,
and I fear, many
that pretend to preach him,
are so far advanced
in the blasphemous Chair,
as openly to deny his being really,
TRULY and PROPERLY GOD.
But NO ONE
that ever was Partaker of his Spirit,
will speak thus lightly of him.
NO;
if they are asked,
as Peter and his Brethren were,
but whom say ye that I am?
they will reply without Hesitation,
Thou art CHRIST
the Son of the everliving GOD.
For the Confession of our Lord's Divinity,
“is “
the Rock upon which be builds his Church.
Was it possible to take this away, the Gates of Hell would quickly pre|vail against it.—
My Brethren,
if JESUS CHRIST be not very GOD of very GOD,
I would never preach the Gospel again.
For it WOULD NOT be Gos|pel;
it would be only
a System of moral Ethicks: Seneca, Cicero, or any of the Gentile Philosophers would be as good a Saviour as JESUS of Nazareth.
is the Divinity of our LORD that gives a Sancti|on on to his Death, and makes him such a High-Priest as became us, viz. One who by the infinite Merits of his Suffering could make a full, perfect, sufficient Sacrifice, Satisfaction and Oblation to an infinitely offended Justice. And whatever Minister of the Church of England, makes use of her Forms, and eats of her Bread, and yet holds not this Doctrine (as I fear too many such are crept in amongst us) such a one belongs only to the Synagogue of Satan.—He is not a Child or Minister of GOD: No; he is a Wolf in Sheep's Cloathing, he is a Child and Minister of that Wicked One the Devil.
Many will think these hard Sayings:
But I think it no Breach of Charity to affirm,
that an Arian or Socinian cannot be a Christian.—
The one would make us believe JESUS CHRIST is only a Created God,
which is a Self-Contradiction.
And the other would have us look on him only as a Good Man,
and instead of owning his Death to be an Atonement for the Sins of the World,
would persuade us,
that CHRIST died only to seal the Truth of his Doctrine with his Blood.
But “if “
JESUS CHRIST be no more than a mere Man,
if he be not truly GOD,
he was the vilest Sinner that ever appeared in the World.—
For
he accepted of Divine Adoration from the Man who had been born blind, as we read John ix. 38.
And he said, LORD I believe, and WORSHIPPED him.
Besides, if CHRIST be not properly GOD, our Faith is vain,
we are yet in our Sins:—
For no created Being,
tho' of the highest Order,
could possibly merit any thing at GOD's Hands:
No, it
was our LORD's Divinity,
that alone
qualified him to take away the Sins of the World; and therefore we hear
St. the like Reason,
St. Paul says, that he was in the Form of GOD.—
That in him dwelt all the Fulness of the Godhead bodily.—
Nay, JESUS CHRIST himself assumes the Title which GOD gave to himself,. Before Abraham, was, says he, “I AM”

YOU CAN PACE YOURSELF BY LISTENING TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CHAPTERS EACH DAY ETC.
IN THIS MESSAGE WE FIND THAT EVEN PAGAN NATIONS CAN REPENT BEFORE THE LORD OF HOSTS: SUCH AS
THE OVERALL THEME OF THIS MESSAGE IS HOW WE ARE TO APPROACH THE LORD OF HOSTS IN ORDER THAT HE MIGHT GO AHEAD OF US AND FIGHT FOR US AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS A NATION. ALSO HOW WE SHOULD APPROACH THE LORD OF HOSTS IF HE IS ABOUT TO DESTROY US AS AN INDIVIDUALS OR NATION. WE WILL LEARN WE MUST COME BEFORE THE LORD OF HOSTS IN A DAY OF HUMILIATION, FASTING AND PRAYER, IN A STATE OF REOENTANCECRYING OUT FOR MERCY THAT THE LORD OF HISTS WOULD REPENT OF THE EVIL HE PLANS TO DO TO US OR HOW HE WILL FIGHT FOR US IF WE APROACH HIM IN HUMILIATION, FASTING AND PRAYER AS HE DID FOR ABRAHAM LINCOLN, FOR WE FOUND IN THE LAST TWO MESSAGES , THAT THE 2ND PERSON OF THE TRINITY WEARS MANY HATS, ONE OF WHICH IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF ALL THE MILITARIES OF THIS WORLD, THUS HE IS THE ONE WHO CHOOSES WINNERS AND LOSERS.
JESUS, ALSO, THE 2ND PERSON OF THE TRINITY WEARS THE HAT OF THE KING OF KINGS. ALL THE KINGS OF THIS WORLD WHETHER OR NOT THEY KNOW IT, REPORT TO HIM, KING JESUS, KING OF THE KINGS, AND THUS LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP HE IS THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF THE NATION AS WELL AS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
IF WE CAN BE ALLOWED TO LOOSELY MAKE THE COMPARISON, KING JESUS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE NATIONS AND THEIR PRESIDENT OR KING AND HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE EACH NATION IS UNDER HIS LAWS OF HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM. IF THEY ARE NOT, JUDGMENT WILL BE COMING.
JESUS AS KING OF KINGS GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT WITH THE RELIGIOUS RULERS OF ISRAEL, THE PHARISEES!
MAT. 12: 34] O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
[35] A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.36] But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
[37] For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
[38] Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
[39] But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet JONAH:
[40] For as JONAH was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
[41] The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of JONAH; and, behold, a greater than JONAH is here.
IF A PAGAN KING CAN CALL HIS PAGAN INHABITANTS TO REPENTANCE AND GOD FORGIVES, CANNOT PRESIDENT TRUMP THE SAME?
THIS MESSAGE IS THE LETTER GEORGE WHITEFIELD WROTE TO HIS DEAR FRIEND JOHN WESLEY WITH GREAT RELUCTANCE FOR IN TODAYS WORLD, IF GEORGE WHITEFIELD WAS AN ICONIC PREACHER OF THE 1900’s IT WOULD BE LIKE GEORGE WHITEFIELD DISMANTLING THE ICONIC FASTFOOD FREEWILL EVANGELIST BILLY GRAHAM, THE RELIGIOUS ICON OF 1900’S IN AMERICA.
SO WHO IS AT FAULT HERE IN AMERICA BUT THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL EVANGELISTS WHO NEVER STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE TO DISMANTLE THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL DOCTRINE OF BILLY GRAHAM WHICH IS EASILY PROVED BY SELF EVIDENT TRUTHS TO BE A DOCTRINE IS BUILT UPON A FOUNDATION OF SAND AND THUS DECEITFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE TO AMERICA.
WHITEFIELD DECLARES TO WESLEY:
“Dear Sir,
for Jesus Christ's sake,
consider how you dishonour God by denying election.
You plainly make
salvation depend not on God's free grace,
but
on man's free-will.
And if thus, it is more than probable,
Jesus Christ would not have had the satisfaction of seeing the fruit of his death in the eternal salvation of one soul.
Our preaching would then be vain, and all invitations for people to believe in him would also be in vain.
But, blessed be God,
our Lord knew for whom he died.
There was an eternal compact between the Father and the Son.
A certain number
was then given him as the purchase and reward of his obedience and death.
For these he prayed (Jn. 17:9), and not for the world.
For these elect ones,
and these only,
he is now interceding,
and with their salvation he will be fully satisfied.
I purposely omit making any further particular remarks on the several last pages of your sermon. Indeed had not your name,
dear Sir, been prefixed to the sermon,
I could not have been so uncharitable as to think you were the author of such sophistry.
You beg the question, in saying that God has declared, (notwithstanding you own, I suppose, some will be damned)
that he will save all— i.e., every individual person.
You take it for granted (for solid proof you have none) that God is unjust,
if he passes by any, and then you exclaim against the "horrible decree":
and yet, as I before hinted,
in holding the doctrine of original sin,
you profess to believe that he might justly have passed by all.
Dear, dear Sir, O be not offended!
For Christ's sake be not rash!
Give yourself to reading. Study the covenant of grace. Down with your carnal reasoning.
Be a little child;
and then, instead of pawning your salvation, as you have done in a late hymn book, if the doctrine of universal redemption be not true;
instead of talking of sinless perfection, as you have done in the preface to that hymn book, and making man's salvation
to depend on his own free will,
as you have in this sermon; you
will compose a hymn in praise
of sovereign distinguishing love.
You will caution believers against striving to work a perfection out of their own hearts, and print another sermon the reverse of this, and entitle it "Free Grace Indeed."
Free, not because free to all;
but free, because God may withhold or give it to whom and when he pleases.
Till you do this, I must doubt whether or not you know yourself. In the meanwhile, I cannot but blame you for censuring the clergy of our church for not keeping to their articles, when you yourself by your principles, positively deny the 9th, 10th and 17th.
Dear Sir, these things ought not so to be. God knows my heart, as I told you before, so I declare again, nothing but a single regard to the honour of Christ has forced this letter from me. I love and honour you for his sake; and when I come to judgment, will thank you before men.
AS WE MENTIONED IN THE LAST MESSAGE , THE 2ND PERSON OF THE TRINITY WEARS MANY HATS ONE OF WHICH IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF ALL THE MILITARIES OF THIS WORLD, THUS HE IS THE ONE WHO CHOOSES WINNERS AND LOSERS.
JESUS, ALSO, THE 2ND PERSON OF THE TRINITY WEARS ITHE HAT OF THE KING OF KINGS. ALL THE KINGS OF THIS WORLD WHETHER OR NOT THEY KNOW IT REPORT TO HIM, KING JESUS, KING OF THE KINGS, AND THUS LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP HE IS THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF THE NATION AS WELL AS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
IF WE CAN BE ALLOWED TO LOOSELY MAKE THE COMPARISON, KING JESUS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE NATIONS AND THEIR PRESIDENT OR KING AND HE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE EACH NATION IS UNDER HIS LAWS OF HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM. IF THEY ARE NOT, JUDGMENT WILL BE COMING.
JESUS AS KING OF KINGS GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT WITH RELIGIOUS RULERS, THE PHARISEES, OF ISRAEL.
MAT. 12: 34] O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
[35] A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
[36] But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
[37] For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
[38] Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
[39] But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
[40] For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
[41] The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
[42] The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD HIS POSITION AS PRESIDENT THAT IS WAS HIS DUTY, AND OUR NATIONS TO BE TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON THE OVERRULING POWER OF GOD(KING OF KINGS & THE LORD OF HOSTS) THAT WE AMERICANS MUST THAT OVERRULING OF GOD WITH A REPENTANT HEART AND PROCLAMATION 97 IS EVIDENCE OF IT.

I do by this my proclamation designate and set apart Thurs the 30th day of Apr
.
BRITAIN’S MERCIES & BRITAIN’S DUTY!
GEORGE WHITEFIELD INTERRWINES THE CHURCH AND NATION LIKE NO OTHER PREACHER, SO SUCCINCTLY & ACCURATE, CAN SO PREACH. IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO LISTEN TO.
LET US THINK ABOUT AMERICA AS HE PREACHES FOR THE MOST PART TO BRITAIN AND APPLY HIS PRINCIPLES TO AMERICA.
THE QUESTION IS, OUT OF THE OVER 18,000 SERMONS HE PREACHED TO OUR 13 COLONIES, HOW IS IT, THAT THIS IS THE ONLY SERMON AVAILABLE THAT HE INTERTWINES CHURCH AND STATE, NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. COULD IT BE THAT THOSE WHO SUPPORT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE HAVE KEPT THESE MOST LIKELY POWERFUL GEORGE WHITEFIELD’S SERMONS FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO KEEP SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE ALIVE?
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS CERTAINLY BELIEVED THAT THE CHURCH IS INEXTRICABLY TIED TO THE STATE.
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. Samuel Adams
Man will either be governed by the Bible or the bayonet. John Adams
We have staked the future of our civilization and all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and everyone of us to govern ourselves; to control ourselves; to sustain ourselves according to the 10 Commandments of God.
JAMES MADISON
SO LET US A TAKE A COUPLE OF EXCERPTS, TO GIVE US A TASTE, AND THEN LET US GET STARTED WITH THE SERMON.
“This to me does not seem to be one of the most unfavorable circumstances which have attended this mighty deliverance; nor do I think you will look upon it as a circumstance altogether unworthy your observation. Had this cockatrice indeed been crushed in the egg, and the young Pretender driven back upon his first arrival, it would undoubtedly have been a great blessing. But not so great as that for which you lately assembled to give God thanks; for then his Majesty would not have had so good an opportunity of knowing his enemies, or trying his friends. The British subjects would in a manner have lost the fairest occasion that ever offered to express their loyalty and gratitude to the rightful sovereign. France would not have been so greatly humbled; nor such an effectual stop have been put, as we trust there now is, to any such further Popish plot, to rob us of all that is near and dear to us. “Out of the eater therefore hath come forth meat, and out of the strong hath come forth sweetness.”
The Pretender's eldest son is suffered not only to land in the North-West Highlands in Scotland, but in a little while he becomes a great band. This for a time is not believed, but treated as a thing altogether incredible. The friends of the government in those parts, not for want of loyalty, but of sufficient authority to take up arms, could not resist him. He is permitted to pass on with his terrible banditti, and, like the comet that was lately seen, spreads his baleful influences all around him. …
But now the Almighty interposes. Hitherto he was to go, and no further. Here were his malicious designs to be staid. His troops of s sudden are driven back…
This time, manner, and instruments of this victory, deserves our notice. It was on a general fast-day, when the clergy and good people of Scotland were lamenting the disloyalty of their persidious countrymen, and, like Moses, lifting up their hands, that Amalek might not prevail. The victory was total and decisive. Little blood was spilt on the side of the Royalists. And, to crown all, Duke William, his Majesty's youngest son, has the honor of first driving back, and then defeating the rebel-army. A prince, who in his infancy and youth, gave early proofs of an uncommon bravery and nobleness of mind; a prince, whose courage has increased with his years. Who returned wounded from the battle of Dettingen, behaved with surprising bravery ….
AS WE, AS AMERICANS, WATCH THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES EMPTY OUT IN EUROPE AND THEN BEING REPLACED WITH MUSLIMS, COMMON SENSE TELLS US JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA, THE SIMPLE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, THAT OUR LORD JESUS IS NOT BLESSING THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL CHURCH THAT DOMINATES EUROPE AND AMERICA, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REPRESENT, HIM, BUT A FALSE CHRIST. MARTIN LUTHER, THE KING OF THE REFORMATION, IN HIS BOOK ‘BONDAGE OF THE WILL’, WRITTEN IN 1524, IN OPPOSITION TO ERASMUS’ BOOK ‘FREEDOM OF THE WILL’, WRITES THAT ‘FREEWILL IS A FICTION’, EVEN COMMON SENSE TELLS US SO.
SO WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA BEING THE SIMPLE PEOPLE OF AMERICA SAY TO OURSELVES, IF THE PILGRIM’S RISKED THEIR LIVES ON THE MAYFLOWER IN COMING TO AMERICA IN 1620 TO BEGIN A NEW NATION, THEY MUST HAVE BELIEVED THAT THE CHURCH COULD NOT BE UNTIED FROM THE NATION THEY WERE GOING TO CREATE. SO THEN WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA BEING THE SIMPLE PEOPLE OF AMERICA SAY TO OURSELVES WHAT CHURCH DOCTRINE WERE THESE FAMOUS PILGRIMS UNDER AND SHOULD NOT WE AS AMERICANS BE UNDER THE SAME DOCTRINE. WAS THERE DOCTRINE COMPLETELY CONTRARY TO THE DOMINANT DOCTRINE OF AMERICA TODAY? ANSWER - YES!!!
IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL FIND THE CHURCH IS INEXTRICABLY TIED TO THE NATION-THEY ARE ONE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SPENDING CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME BRINGING BACK THE TRUE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS OF HIS OFFICES: OF COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF OUR MILITARY, OF CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, OF CHIEF MAGISTRATE, AND OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WHICH HAVE BEEN CO-OPTED BY THE DEEP STATE OF THE UNELECTED.
IF THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THESE OFFICES OF THE PRESIDENCY, ARE NOT IN LOCKSTEP WITH THE CONSTITUTION, THE ORINAL INTENT MUST BE MADE AGAIN KNOWN TO US JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA, SO WE KNOW HOW TO PRAY.
LIKEWISE WE MUST COME TO UNDERSTAND, AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA THE OFFICES OF THE 2ND PERSON OF THE TRINITY, JESUS, WHO IS THE LORD OF HOSTS WHICH COMPARABLE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF OUR AMERICAN MILITARY. WE MUST COME TO KNOW WHAT AUTHORITY JESUS HAS AS KING OF KINGS WHICH IS COMPARABLE TO PRESIDENT AS THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE.
BUT IN THIS MESSAGE THE BULK OF TIME WILL BE SPENT ON THE OFFICE OF JESUS AS THE LORD OF HOSTS AND PRESIDENT TRUMPS RELATIONSHIP TO THE LORD OF HOSTS, WHETHER HE KNOWS IT NOT, AND HOW VERY IMPORTANT HE KNOWS ABOUT IT WHETHER OR NOT HE IS A CHRISTIAN FOR EITHER WAY HE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE LORD OF HOSTS.
IF YOU SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MESSAGES, PLEASE SHARE IT, FOR IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF AMERICA. IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL SHOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN UNDERSTOOD IT AND TOOK ACTION TO HELP AMERICA AT THAT TIME TO BE REPENTANT BEFORE THE LORD OF HOSTS WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY LED TO HIS VICTORY.
WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA BEING THE SIMPLE PEOPLE WE ARE, WE ASK SIMPLE QUESTIONS:
CAN WE LEGITIMATELY CALL OURSELVES, AS AMERICANS, CHRISTIANS, IF WE ARE NOT LITERALLY MARRIED TO CHRIST.
SO THEN WE SAY TO OURSELVES, THAT WE AS AMERICANS WHO ARE MARRIED, LIVE TOGETHER DO WE NOT?
THUS COMMON SENSE TELLS US THAT IF WE, AS AMERICANS, DO NOT LITERALLY LIVE TOGETHER WITH CHRIST, THEN WE WOULD NOT BE MARRIED TO CHRIST, WOULD WE?
FORMER MR. MORALITY WROTE TO HIS BRETHREN IN ROME:
Ro. 7: [4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be MARRIED to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
SO IF FORMER MR. MORALITY CONFIRMS THAT IF WE ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN WE ARE MARRIED TO CHRIST, BUT DOES FORMER MR. MORALITY BELIEVE THAT WE LITERALLY LIVE TOGETHER?
Gal. 2: 20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH IN ME: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
BUT WHAT IF CHRIST DOES NOT LIVE IN WE AMERICANS THAT CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIANS?
2Cor. 13: [5] Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ IS IN YOU, except ye be reprobates?
SO WE AS AMERICANS NEED TO EXAMINE OURSELVES TO OBSERVE TO KNOW IF CHRIST LITERALLY LIVES IN US OR NOT.
RO. 8: [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
[9] But ye are not in the flesh,
but in the Spirit,
if so be
that the Spirit of God DEWELL IN YOU.
Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ,
he is NONE of HIS.
GEORGE WHITEFIELD IN THIS SERMON BEAUTIFULLY ELABORATES UPON THIS VERSE:
Isaiah 54:For thy Maker is thine husband.
“And therefore, the marriage state,
especially by the apostle Paul,
is frequently made use of, to figure out to us the real, vital union, between Jesus Christ and regenerate souls.
This is termed by the apostle,
Eph. 5:32, “A great mystery.”
But great as it is, we must all experience it, before we can say assuredly, that
“our Maker is our husband.”
For what says our Lord, in that prayer he put up to his Father before his bitter passion?
“Father, I will that those whom thou hast given me, shall be where I am, that they may be one with thee; even as thou, O Father, and I are one, I in them, and they in me, that we all may be made perfect in one.”
O infinite condescension! On ineffable union!
Hence it is, that believers are said to be members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Hence it is, that the apostle speaking of himself, says,
“I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” What an expression is that? How much does it comprehend?
And, that we might not think this was something peculiar to himself, he puts this close question to the Corinthians; “Know ye not, that Christ is in you, unless you be reprobates?”
Agreeable to what he says in his epistle to the
Colossians; “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
And hence it is, that our church, in the communion-office, directs the minister to acquaint all those who receive the sacrament worthily, that they are one with Christ, and Christ with them; that they dwell in Christ, and Christ in them.
Words that deserve to be written in letters of gold, and which evidently show, what our reformers believed all persons must experience, before they could truly and assuredly say, that “their Maker is their
Pass we on therefore to the
Second general head, under which I was to show, what duties of love they owe to Jesus Christ, who are so happy as to be able to say, “My Maker is my husband.”
IN OUR LAST MESSAGE WE ADDED THE KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTION TO VIRTUE PART 1
IN THIS MESSAGE WE ARE ADDING THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD TO VIRTUE.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THOSE OF THE FREEWILL DOCTRINE TO BELIEVE IN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD?
CAN AMERICA CONTINUE TO BE BLESSED WITHOUT ITS PEOPLE BELIEVING AS A WHOLE IN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD?
DID ABRAHAM LINCOLN BELIEVE IN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD?
TODAY IS August 7 AND THUS LET US TURN TO PROVERBS Chapter 7.
TODAY IS August 4th AND THUS LET US TURN TO PROVERBS Chapter 4
MANY OF US AMERICANS CARE FOR THE TEMPORAL NEEDS OF OUR BODY, BUT NEGLECT TO CARE FOR THE ONE THING NEEDFUL, THAT IS, THE NEED TO CARE FOR OUR SOUL.
ALL OF US AS AMERICANS KNOW WE ARE DYING, AND THUS WE PREPARE FOR OUR DEATH, BY SAVING FOR OUR RETIREMENT, ETC. , AND MAYBE A SUDDEN DEATH WITH LIFE INSURANCE, AND WE CARE FOR OUR TEMPORAL NEEDS BY EATING HEALTHY, EXERCISE, ETC.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE WE DOING TO CARE FOR OUR SOUL, FOR OUR SOUL IS IMMORTAL, IT IS NOT GOING TO DIE, BUT WHEN IT DEPARTS FROM OUR BODY OUR BODY IS CONSIDERED DEAD.
SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SOUL?
OUR UPCOMING TEMPORAL DEATH OF OUR BODY IS A SIGN THAT OUR SOUL WILL EXPERIENCE ETERNAL DEATH IF WE HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED THE ANTIDOTE OF BREAKING GOD’S COMMANDMENT.
AND THUS THE QUESTION THAT WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC ASK, IS, WHY IS OUR BODY DYING?
WOULD IT NOT BE THE SAME REASON WHY ADAM DIED: HE BROKE A COMMANDMENT.
THUS WOULD NOT THAT BE WHY WE AS AMERICANS ARE DYING, WE HAVE BROKEN A COMMANDMENT.
SO IT APPEARS THAT WE AS AMERICANS ARE BORN INTO THIS WORLD ON DEATH ROW.
SO OUR BODY DYING, IS SIMPLY A WARNING TO US THAT WE ARE UNDER THE JUDGMENT OF GOD, BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE ANTIDOTE TO DEATH, IF BREAKING A COMMANDMENT OF GOD LEADS TO ETERNAL DEATH.
WE AS JOHN Q. PUBLIC OF AMERICA BEING THE SIMPLE PEOPLE WE ARE SAY TO OURSELVES, THE ANTIDOTE TO DEATH WOULD BE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS CAUSING DEATH, AND THEREFORE WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF BREAKING A COMMANDMENT BUT NOT BREAKING A COMMANDMENT.
BUT IF ALL OF US AMERICANS BREAK GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, WAS THERE EVER A MAN THAT DID NOT BREAK GOD’S COMMANDMENTS?
ANSWER?
2Cor. 5: [21] For he(JESUS’ FATHER hath made him(JESUS) to be sin for us, who knew no sin( KEPT HIS FATHER’S COMMANDMENTS PERFECTLY)
WHY?
(IN ORDER) that we
might be made
the righteousness(PERFECT OBEDIENCE OF JESUS) of God in him.
THEREFORE HOW DOW WE OBTAIN THE ONE THING NEEDFUL FOR OUR SOUL.
WE AGONIZE TO OBTAIN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD BY FAITH BEFORE WE DIE PHYSICALLY AND THAT WILL BE THE ANTIDOTE TO ETERNAL DEATH.
GEORGE WHITEFIELD IN THIS SERMON EHORTS US AS FOLLOWS:
The care of the soul is the one thing needful, because “without it, you cannot avoid a state of eternal misery, which will be aggravated, rather than alleviated by all your present enjoyments.”
Nothing can be more evident from the word of the God of truth. It there plainly appears to be a determined case, which leaves no room for a more favorable conjecture or hope. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, even all the nations that forget God,” Psalm 9:17. “They shall go away into everlasting punishment, Matt. 25:46, into a state where they shall in vain seek death, and death shall flee from them. Oh! brethren, it is a certain, but an awful truth, that your souls will be thinking and immortal beings, even in spite of themselves. They may indeed torment, but they cannot destroy themselves. They can no more suspend their power of thought and perception, than a mirror its property of reflecting rays that fall off its surface. Do you suspect the contrary? Make the trial immediately. Command your minds to create from thinking but for one quarter of an hour, or for half that time, and exclude every idea and every reflection. Can you succeed in that attempt? Or rather, does not thought press in with a more sensible violence on that resistance; as an anxious desire to sleep, makes us so much the more wakeful. Thus will thought follow you beyond the grave, thus will it, as an unwelcome guest, force itself upon you, when it can serve only to perplex and distress the mind. It will for ever upbraid you, that notwithstanding all the kind expostulations of God and man, notwithstanding all the keen remonstrances of conscience, and the pleadings of the blood of Christ, you have gone on in your folly, till heaven is lost, and damnation incurred; and all, for what for a shadow and a dream?

HOW TO DISMANTLE OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS FICTIONAL DOCTRINE OF FREEWILL BY SIMPLY DIVING INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL LOVED SO MUCH OF WRITING ON THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION, FOR IN THAT DOCTRINE HE EXPERIENCED THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST WHICH WAS FAR SUPERIOR THAN ANY HUMAN LOVE WHICH HE NEVER EXPERIENCED AS A FASTFOOD FREEWILL THEOLOGIAN.
IF WE THINK OF THE BIBLE AS A WAGON WHEEL WITH 66 SPOKES AND THE HUB OF THE WHEEL AS THE DEFINITION OF SALVATION, WE CAN SEE THAT IF WE WOULD BE THE ENEMY OF THE TRUE CHURCH, ALL WE WOULD HAVE TO DO TO CORRUPT THE CHURCH WOULD BE TO CORRUPT THE DEFINITION OF TRUE SALVATION AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE 66 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE BUT THEY WOULD BE CORRUPTED.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SATAN DOES HE CORRUPTS THE HUB OF THE WHEEL AND HE THEN CAN PULL THE LEVER ON THE LAZY BOY FOR THE 66 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE WILL BE CORRUPTED.
AND HOW CAN SATAN EASILY DO THIS, BUT BY CONVINCING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THE WILL IS FREE IN SALVATION AND AMERICA WILL THEN EVENTUALLY END UP UPON THE ASH HEAPS OF HISTORY.
AND THUS THE GREATEST THING WE AS AMERICANS CAN ADD UNTO OUR VIRTUE IS IS TO ADD KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS NOT, THAT THE WILL IS FREE IN SALVATION, BUT BOUND IN SALVATION: THEN AMERICA WILL AGAIN BECOME THE MORAL BEACON OF LIGHT TO THE WORLD.
WHY IS IT THAT FORMER MR. MORALITY, THE APOSTLE PAUL, LOVED TO WRITE ON SALVATION BY ELECTION.
WE WILL FIND THIS OUT THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IN THIS MESSAGE.
BY LISTENING TO THIS MESSAGE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ARM YOURSELVES WITH KNOWLEDGE IN HOW TO EASILY DISMANTLE YOUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIEND’S DOCTRINE WHICH IS A FICTION.

Pr. 9: [17] Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
[18] But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
