To all Christians
As I've prayed and reflected on this election more than any other in my years of voting, and years of praying for a leader like Paul to rise to the highest levels of our government, the Presidency, to bring about the return to Constituitonal government for the people, by the people, I have received two things in my spirit.
One is I think obivious to most of us here on DailyPaul.com, and that is that Paul is a Godsend, for such a time as this.
Second thing that has come to my spirit is we are the generation he is calling to be the ones who turn over the tables of the money changers in our sacred Temple (America), to restore liberty from it's captivity and exploitation of the people.
I wanted to relay this and get a feel if they're other Christians out there that might have received this same insight from God throughout this election.
output





















My two revelations...
1. Ron Paul is like a modern day Noah, Moses, and John the Baptist rolled into one.
Why? Three elements,
a) They came warning of looming destruction and judgment,
b) A call to obey the God inspired Constitution to escape the wrath,
c) Not many of the sheep are ready to hear the truth. They want to ridicule and discredit the messenger.
2. Jesus got the same welcome when He came to set the captives free.
So those who will listen and act will be rewarded.
All I know is.... "This is My King"

Christianity gives me hope
Christianity gives me hope for the afterlife. Paul gives hope for America. He has definitely started something. Christians are on the side of life, and as Paul says, without life, there can be no liberty.
Well said

Jesus was a son of God
No man can doubt.
Richard Dawkins doesn't really know, nor Voltair, or other lost men. But we know for a fact that there is no such thing as 0 because there is enough energy in the empty space between threaded nanotubes to create 10 universes, 0 is a flawed concept. We are in a vortex, get over it. Either be negative and get sucked in or stay positive and build a new world.
But I know there is a God and Jesus is the only honest man I find the books written by criminals, a true son of God.
And the book says we all too can become sons of God.
Jesus was not like the prophets or judges - he was much more kind - much more one of us.

Natural Law will prevail
Natural Law will always stand. It is the law which was created by God. No matter what happends to our man made Constitutional law,remember that the Constitution is not itself "original", but a recognition of what is Natural Law. The Native Americans believe in such natural law,and as humans we are created with the natural law of independance. There is always hope, as long as we all succeed in recognizing the Natural laws. In time we will know whether to dissolve our contract into the Constitution and to raise a new one up. I think the U.S. Constitution(freedom contract between people and government) is ending already by the choice of the government.
WOW
I feel like I could have made this post myself. You are SOOOOO right on. Natural Law (Gods Law) WILL prevail!!
And remember PRAYER is an action word. Don't sit back and expect that God will do everything, put action to your words!!!
I just submitted a post about the moneychangers.
Please see this thread. I encourage you to send it to everyone (esp. Christians) that you know:

One Thing Is Certain
In God We Trust!
One thing is certain, the times we live in are very unique and the hand writing is on the wall. The coming of the Lord draweth nigh!
sometimes i think
God has brought us Ron Paul to show how evil this country has become and how He is just in destroying it whether by famine, inflation, or our dissolution into a north american union. Because He will be able to say Christians, I gave you a righteous man and you chose a liar. Just think of all the evangelicals that amost blindly in a sense voted for huckabee or those who will now vote for mccain. It is appalling and could bring one to tears. Here we let millions of children die every year and just go about our lives, it is so odd that we should think God should spare us.
But then I always hope God will redeem this land from spitting on Him every day for He knows how frail we are.
I am not
embarrassed to say it. I pray every night. And included in my prayers every night are these prayers...
#1 Please forgive me for what our elected Govt has done in killing millions of people.
#2 Please do everything in your power to stop our corrupt govt.
#3 God Bless every hard working American that does not understand they are being robbed by their leaders.
#4 May the rath of God fall upon our corrupt leaders....you know who they are.
That is it.
If their is a god....I sure as hell would not want to answer for any part of what our Govt is doing. Eternity is a very long time.
For all of you non-believers that are going to cut me down...I look at it this way. I am going to play it safe. If GOD is listening then he will understand what I mean. If their is no GOD, then I have lived a good life helping others. WIN........WIN. I like that!
How can their not be anything after this short life???? Tell me??
Embarassed?
Why would anyone be embarassed? Anyone who doesn't pray should be...

If There Is A God
Takeaction, we want you to KNOW that there is a God and His Name Is Jehova and His Son is the Lord Jesus Christ in whom alone is salvation.
That is the message of the Bible. All we are sinners and all need a Savior, and Jesus is that Savior and there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved. Good works, or anything else, other than faith in Christ as one's Savior, is what will be sending people to eternal damnation. I don't mean to preach, but we all want you to KNOW the truth so that you too, can be set free from your sins and have eternal life.
May God bless you in this!
I believe his name is a symbol and not a word
As Adam and Eve did not know how to read and write. And we have corrupted his true name. In the end of the bible, it is stated we can't call on him because we don't know his name right? Well, 144,000 people will figure it out.

Gotta' walk the talk....
No matter what opinion one may have about the coming events, if one calls themselves a Chrisitian, they've given up 'religion' for a 'relationship' with the Creator.
As such, our whole mission in life, no matter what gifts or talents we may have been given, is to, "....go and make disciples...".
If we have received the gift of eternal life we have no cause to fear the end of our mortal lives. If we are indeed the children of God, the Creator of the universe, then His will is our will. And His will is that "...none should perish....".
"For He so loved the world that He gave His only son to die for our sins..."
If we are being instructed by our Father to be witnesses of what He has done, then it's natural to prepare for the possibility that great suffering is coming to America and our job is to show the mercy and love of God to those who will inevitably come upon hard times. We should be preparing to have food and shelter - medical treatment and fellowship - and above all our own testimony of what God has done for us - readily available to those souls who God loves more than we can imagine.

Jesus is a son of God
And we can be too if we follow his teachings.

I totally agree with
your post. So, what is your understanding of Jesus saying that no one comes to the father except through him. If they are one in the same, how could God be saying you have to worship anyone other than him to be saved? I think a better translation would be no one comes to the father except through being like him, having the characteristics of Christ, who we know is God in the flesh. What is your opinion on this?
The Son of God and God Almighty come in the flesh...
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
Mat 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Mat 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Mat 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Mat 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Mat 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Mar 5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mar 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
Mar 5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
Mar 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Mar 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
Mar 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. JESUS.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luk 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Joh 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Joh 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Joh 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

I have often said that those who have never experienced a relationship with the Lord cannot understand it.
I felt the Lord's calling in my life from a very young age. (1st, 2nd grade). Our family was NOT "religious" at all, but we belonged to the Catholic church. When I had my first communion, my favorite gift was the children's bible one of my aunt's had given me. I was always intrigued by God, and wanted to know about Him. Fast forward to my teenage years, after a pretty unhappy couple of years (my Dad was an alcholic and my Mom was abusive) and I went to visit a cousin who Pastored his own church. During that visit the love of God washed over me, and I accepted Jesus in my life.
My testimony is so long, I have been writing a book about it, but he has guided my steps, been faithful and has NEVER let me down. I love the Lord with my whole being.
I have prayed every day for this country, and for Dr. Paul. If there is one thing I know about the Lord based on my experiences with Him, is that He looks for people who are willing to stand up and make change happen. He works hand in hand with us to accompligh things sometimes, even though He has the power to do it on His own.
I believe in all my heart that the Lord has lifted Dr. Paul up as an answer to prayer, what we do with this is up to us. I agree with the poster who mentioned the current crop of evangelicals who automatically flocked to McCain. I just don't understand that. Sometimes I think that they are in on the whole scam.
Keep praying!

For Such A Time As This
In God We Trust!
Praise the Lord! To read these posts I find it a blessing. We all must remember that God always has purpose in everything! Everything! The ONLY reason Ron Paul is still around is......you got it....it is the Lord's purpose. If God had turned His back on us, there would never be such a man like Ron Paul in the race. That is the big clue I believe. We Christians, must be the ones who pray for not only Congressman Ron Paul, but for our sinful nation as it has been stated already and we all must seek God's face daily as our Father, and beg His powerful hand be with us and to go before us as He did so often in the Scriptures. The Lord is near and His help is ever present. He has not given up on us. We will have troubles brethren, but the Lord will be with us as we go through them.
"The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ear is open to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.....".
Pray brethren, pray like never before, and then be still in your spirit and watch the salvation of the Lord as it unfolds. Praise Him, Praise Him day by day we must Praise Him. The world is about to be in awe at what God is going to do.
"Blessed be the Lord who hath not turned away my (our) prayer, nor His mercy from me (us)."
Praise be the Lord our God!
What we MUST pray for!
This nation is under judgement, like many other nations in the Bible, and we cannot expect anything different. However, as Christians, when we sin, we can confess, and be forgiven by God. However, when a nation is judged, whether by famine, poverty,etc, it affects the non christians as well as the Christians. During the great Depression, many Christians also lost their homes, jobs, etc. along with the rest. We will not be spared, just because we are Christian. I do believe that God has raised up Ron Paul, because of the remnant of believers. However, there is something that we must do because of the sins of this nation:
Like Eli, the priest in OT times, he sacrificed animals to pay for the sins of his very evil sons. We, in Hebrews, as Christians are called priests, also, and
1. We must confess the sins of our nation, our leaders, our people, and other Christians,
2. and ask God's forgiveness, and then we may receive His mercy, as we do when we know Christ.
If we do not, how can we escape the judgement? But God is merciful to those he loves. Then we can say with the psalmist : Ps. 27:13-14 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
and Romans 8:31 If God be for us, who can be against us?
Sounds right to me...
we also confess our own sin and repent. I pray that I will be standing in that day.
Libera me, let the truth break, what my fears make--Leslie Phillips
amen!
and we should also pray that those in power are convicted of their sin that the Lord will change their hearts and that the truth is exposed!
How do you relate to your Pastor, elders, and brethren re. RP?
How do you relate to your Pastor, elders, and brethren re. RP?
I've been a believer in the Lord Jesus for 33 years and attend an excellent Bible believing/preaching/doing church. The pastor and church leadership and body is, of course, not perfect, but excellent and obedient and gentle and kind and forthright and stands up for many good things.
However, they really do not get it (and perhaps don't want to 'get it') regarding Ron Paul, the increasing nwo, the financial collapse, clear (not unclear) conspiracies, etc.
I honestly don't possess the patience to be as gentle and wise regarding when and when not to speak about problems that are clearly obvious to me but not to them.
I honestly have significant respect for my church leaders and brothers and sisters in Christ and really do appreciate the wonderful, worshipful (of Christ) atmosphere of the church. But I honestly have significant cognitive dissonance (for lack of a better word) regarding the issues that we Christians here are concerned about. Frankly, it's so hard for me to have the joy of the Lord and to be positive when there is so much really bad things going in the world and our government and those closest to me don't have a clue, and I seem to be relatively unable to give them a clue.
I really am having, not a crisis of faith, but a crisis of community.
Can anyone give me feedback regarding what I've written above, how you're perhaps dealing with the same thing, etc?
Thanks,
IndependenceNotRevolution
We need to keep praying over these two excellent points
We need to keep praying over these two excellent points that they will become increasingly clear...that
1) God has sent Dr. Paul for such a time as this (as American finances continue to collapse, Dr. Paul has increasing credibility in the eyes of Fox Business News and others in the MSM, etc)
which leads to
2) increasing acceptance of Dr. Paul's fiscal answers (bring the troops home and save $1 trillion+ per year and domestically, incrementally stop all unconstitutional spending, dealing with welfare for seniors and the poor way down the road)
In the book of Acts, the Apostle PAUL said "there is a great door of opportunity, and there are many adversaries" This is what appears to be happening these days. There seems to be a seemingly impossible door opening (delegate process; McCain implosion an increasing possibility on many fronts) and of course there are many adversaries (an elite directed sinking of first the McCain Campaign, the emergence of a Bloomberg candidacy concurrent with a deep sixing of Obama and Clinton; Bloomberg is the "perfect" government/corporate ceo type linked with all the financial chicanery of the FED, wall street (to be bailed out for at least the next 6 months), etc. But I digress.
We need to pray that the two points that Davy C "Not Yours To Give" Rockett become increasingly clear, by God's grace, to Christians and to the general American public.....in time!
Even if it becomes very clear to the general populace that "the emperor indeed has no clothes on" (example: Cheney's recent comment of "so" to the reporter's comment that 2/3rds or 80% of the American public are against the war in the middle east), it's a matter of what Americans (maybe we'll have even 95% of all Americans) will do at this point against a lawless, dangerous elite in Washington and above Washington.
Your thoughts and prayerful feedback is appreciated,
Your Prayer has been answered...
I was an administrator for the Democratic party for over 6 years and i am well educated in the nomination process, I left the party to support Dr. Paul so i know what i am talking about.
Our founding fathers set the system up like this to assure that there would not have false or fruadulent support for a candidate thus forcing THE PEOPLE to become involved in the election process and to show actual support for thier candidate.
They wanted to make sure they would protect us from VOTE FRAUD and to make sure that a candidate did not win a beauty contest but instead win an election.
Any candidate and thier supporters can do exactly what we are doing if they chose to do so and i am sure from the reports we have received that Mccain does not have real support or he would have the delegates he needs registered as delegates to vote for him in the up coming convention.
Every state is different and you should be educated on exactly how your delegate process works and you can do this by obtaining a copy of you bylaws in your county and your state if you are told you do not have bylaws obtain a copy of the party rules for your county and state for this is the first step to victory AFTER YOU BECOME A DELEGATE.
If you doubt my post go and research it yourself PLEASE here : http://www.gop.com/images...
PLEASE EVERYONE COPY AND SEND THIS TO THIER EMAIL LIST AND MEETUP HEADS AND ANY OTHER RON PAUL FORUM THERE IS.
If you can be a delegate because it is too late to register you can still help us at the convention.
Use these 2 links and help us win.

I know many of you are new to the election process but don't worry.
I am going to go into some depth of how this all works so read and then read again if you need to.
Did you know that the delegates can actually vote to unbind thier delegates that are bound by state rules? Did you know that delegates can actually overturn and previous vote? Did you know the delegates have control of the entire process?
The MSM is not reporting how to become the nominee in a situation like this so i will tell you to stop getting your info from the MSM.
I know many of you are bummed about Dr. Paul not getting more votes in the states popular vote BUT THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE ELECTION SYSTEM WORKS : Let me explain to you the reality of how to become the nominee.
First stop looking at who wins each states popular vote for most of these states the vote by the people is really nothing but a straw poll and have no real bearing on who will become the nominee. The only way this matters is if 1 person receives 1191 delegates that are bound by state rules to be commited to that candidate. So if a candiate like Mccain now has 906 delegates now but he doesn't reach 1191 WHICH HE WILL NOT most of the delegates the state awarded him mean nothing and keep in mind in most of the states most of the people that represent the 906 for Mccain are actually Ron Paul supporters. NOW there is no possible way that anyone in the race can achieve this goal now because of the major split in state wins by the candidates.
Normally Convention Delegates do not matter because the convention is not brokered and we have a clear winner because someone has 1191 delegates. BUT THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT. This will be a brokered convention there is no way around it. Do you see how the ronpaul campaign strategy will work.
When a candidate wins delegates by winning a primary that does not mean there are actual people that won acting as delegates- these are virtual delegates.
What do I mean by virtual delegates: A virtual delegate is just a number - there are no actual people YET that will go and vote for the candidate who won the particular state at the national convention. We call these people convention delegates
The actual delegates are voted on (in most states) at a statewide delegate caucus after the Primary (which is just a giant preference poll) Who can be delegates? Anyone. In closed Primary states they must be registered Republicans, in Open Primary states they can be Republicans, Democrats, Independents.
View the hard count of actaul pledged delegates here : http://www.thegreenpapers...
And we have lots of delegates.
Out of the 2,380 delegates sent to Minneapolis St. Paul in September-
-463 delegates are bound all the way through the convention some of those 463 are Ron Pauls people.
- 565 delegates will be bound through one ballot. That is, they have to follow the results of the state election on the first ballot. After that, if no candidate has a majority of delegates, they are free to vote as they please and Mccain will not receive over 50% on the first ballot.
- 383 will be bound through two ballots then they are free to vote for whom they wish.
- 318 will be bound through three ballots then they are free to vote for whom they wish.
I am not going to list every state and what the break downs are, just do the math from these numbers or look for yourself here :
http://www.gop.com/Images...
Bottom line is less than 1/2 of the delegates are bound by state party rules. Now do you see how we can win this thing?
So what happens now you ask? You look at the number of delegates that Dr. Paul has that are uncommited to the other candidates and will support him. these delegates are not decided by the popular vote ie: straw poll of the people. Since no one will have enough delegates to skate them through to the nomination we now must look at how many delegates NOT VOTES but delegates Dr. Paul has that are 100% uncommited to the other candidates and will be 100% for Dr. Paul and are free to vote for whom they wish.
This race will go all the way to the convention for there is no other way for someone to receive the nomintaion untill the convention.
The RNC will convene its annual Winter Meeting - and voters will continue to cast their ballots in the nation's primaries and caucuses. Candidates for delegate and alternate delegate to the convention will be elected - and thousands of convention participants and guests will begin planning their trips to Minneapolis-Saint Paul The first week in September 2008
SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?
This means that all of the people that registered to become a deligate for Dr. Paul can go to the convention and cast thier vote for Dr. Paul, now think about what i just said : Do you think for one second that all the people that voted for Dr. Paul and filed to become a deligate will not show up at the convention to vote for the good Doctor? Of course they will just like they battled the rain and the sleet and the 15 below zero winter weather to knock on doors and wave signs spreading our message.
Now i assure you that even though we didn't win the popular vote in many states WE DID PICK UP THE MAJORITY OF DELEGATES THAN ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN MOST EVERY STATE EXCEPT A FEW. So yes they won the straw poll and we won what counts which is delegates.
Doesn't Dr. Paul need to WIN 5 states to be on the ballot at the convention for the nomination?
NO THIS IS NOT TRUE for people were just confused on how it actually works.
We only need the majority of delegates from 5 states to be put on the ballot NOT THE POPULAR VOTE OF 5 STATES and i assure you we have picked up the majority of uncommitted delegates for Dr. Paul in more than 5 states.
Do any of you remember seeing posts by myself and many others that said BECOME A DELEGATE? There is still time in most states to become a delegate for the convention and we are picking up more of them every day.
So please STOP! you worry too much because you do not understand how the election system works and you thought we lost didn't you? I assure you we have not!
The fact is Dr. Paul is a genius in his strategy and we are further ahead in delegates than you think and we can win the nomination.
I hope this gives a better understanding of how we have been winning even though most of you thought we were not.
NOW LET'S KEEP WORKING FILE TODAY AND BECOME A DELEGATE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

From a post on Cause of Liberty
http://www.causeofliberty...
"Too many “Christians” are too busy watching TBN and preaching and learning about how you can “name it and claim it” and how Jesus is your free ticket to heaven, to care or think about such “negative things”; after all, isn’t it “accentuating the positive” all that matters? Thinking about negative things (i.e., things that make me feel sad) is SO un-Christian!
"You know a nation is on the decline when its salt has lost its flavor!
"The problem with Christians is not only have we remained in the shaker; we have remained in the shaker so long that we have lost our flavor. Then, when some of us comes out of the shaker, we change nothing. We think that the best thing we can do is vote and sign petitions. Call your Congressman! Write your Senator! They’ll listen!
"Um, what has changed? The best we could do was put George W. Bush in office, and the “last was worse than the first.” We cleaned out the house, but when we didn’t replace it with the honor and fear of God, our condition worsened (Matthew 12:43-45).
"Virtue and morality among Christians, on the average, is no better than that of unbelievers. And yet this crucial truth is hardly addressed or dealt with. *sigh* Yes, our nation is declining. We should not decline with it."
Dr.Paul has been a godsend but...
You ask, will this be the generation that will over throw the money changers. Probably I think. But not anytime soon. The masses are truly brainwashed. When they are in the streets, tired, hungry and bleeding then and only then, will that be are chance to overthrow the establishment. Until then, we, all of us must keep doing the the good work and be there ready and waiting for that moment en mass. But until that day arrives, understand this, we preach liberty and we will be persecuted just like Paul and all those who came before us.
Gal 2:4 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Jam 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Gal 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Jam 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
2Cr 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
Thanks
Thanks for the biblical quotations relating to liberty...I had planned to do some searching but had not gotten around to it...good food for thought.
No problem
Glad to help. Here is some good resources to help you with your research.

agreed.
Mordicai told Esther "who knows, maybe you were called for such a time as this?" Many of us are hearing those words. Do we listen or ignore them?
Just had our senatorial convention here in texas. did not go as we had hoped but we are making a start. we rp supporters can never go back to the way things used to be. Several have asked me, even me, to run for an office here. Do I do it? Am I here for such a time as this? I feel very unqualified especially since I will be running against a long-time party member, with lots of expreience. I have 1 year to decide. You can bet I will be doing a lot of praying and seeking advice. Any of you who want to pray for me, I welcome the prayers to make a wise choice. And if I am not the right one, that the right one will emerge among us. thanks for listening to me.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Where in Texas
are your considering your run? Please be sure to let us know.
I agree.
This is our time, and Dr. Paul is our igniter/messenger.
Dr. Paul speaks the truth
Those who are open to the truth will hear him and respond, Christian or not, IMHO.
It seems 90% of Christian voters leave the Spirit at the door when they vote, and might indeed do the same thing in many other areas of their lives (following the letter without the Spirit). Witness the first election of George Bush, when televangelists and other pastors throughout the country were repeating tha line, "for such a time as this." And both my spirit (and I believe the Holy Spirit) and my MIND were screaming--you've got it all wrong!
I was a gold trader in 1999 and that's when and why I found Ron Paul. I wrote and e-mailed his congressional office asking him to run. "Nobody" had ever heard of him. It was his time then and it's still his time. But, more important, it's time for his political/economic philosopies to come to bear in the U.S.
Jesus is the Way the TRUTH and the Life. Those who are open truth will hear the honest, simple tenets that Ron Paul has brought to the nation. I believe he has a good chance, reading and acting upon all the delegate information. But, if he doesn't win the presidency, it doesn't mean God wouldn't have picked him. Faith without works is dead. WE need to keep walking it out and perhaps continually be mentored by RP's teaching.
They crucified the Lord, and we have suffered the consequences again since 2000 largely because of undiscerning Christians.
The good news of grace!
His grace is sufficient for us, for His power is made perfect in weakness.
The Ron Paul rEVOLution is the visible expression of our repentance. It has been in labor pains for decades. This delegate process is an amazing opportunity to apply faith, love and good deeds, diligence, perserverance, endurance, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, hope, working for the common good, having a forebearing spirit to those who don't understand us (yet) and to share the gospel of our Lord who while we were yet sinners, laid down his life for us too. We get to have this opportunity everyday as Ron Paul rEVOLution repentees!
What a blessing that there is hope in this fight of faith!
Thank you for the analogy to the money changers. And much gratitude for all you prayer warriors. Not by might, and not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord. 6 Months until the RNC!
Insite from God, no
Insite from the brain he gave me, yes. Now lets all pray for a miracle.
What I find strange
is that more Christians are not for Ron Paul.
I have a background in pentecostal type churches but my husband and I felt prompted to back away from the church about 9 years ago, so we have been kind of out of the loop.
I tried contacting a few people I know during this election year
and everyone I have known has turned a blind eye to what is taking place before their very noses. It is almost like they have a veil over their faces.
I'm talking people that where born again, spirit filled people that where well aware of the agenda for our country. Now they refuse to acknowledge it even exists let alone that it is in the end game.
It is as if they have bought the lie and now are blinded to what is taking place.
I remember about 10 years ago..I kept getting in my spirit that the seasons where changing..and it was not the actual seasons but in a spiritual sense.
I do know I have a strong urgency to speak out and wake up as many people as I can about what is taking place and it is not directed at the Christians but the general population. Almost reminds me of when the Jewish people of the new testament refused to acknowledge Jesus was the the messiah so God sent the message to the gentiles.
One by one by
one - that is the only way! When they complain about the high price of gas - I advise them it is the govt's. hidden taxation of us. When they talk about high prices, I tell then it's inflation - deliberately caused by the govt. to create a nanny state and eliminate the middle class so they can have complete control.
Then I tell then about the NAU and the NAFTA super highway - not much beyond that as it is such a shock.
And so it goes...
The light
shines in darkness
The darkness is not able to get hold of it.
... And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
The people of the America have done many evil and despicable things. They have slaughtered the innocent. They have perverted judgment. They have embraced carnality and wickedness. The shepherds have smelt money and have rejected the word. They always hate the prophets.
Some say this is the last chance. I dont know. But the word that came to me is that if we really want this Revolution it can come.
"the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made..."
What do we care about that?
Disturb the Sound of Silence. Let the Cry of Freedom Ring.
Unfortunatly Christians
who are Obama , McCain & Clinton supporters all say the same thing also "God is giving us one last chance to vote for our man/woman". Try telling one of Rev Wrights flock that God wants any one but Obama. Remember the Huckabee fans over Christmas? - take a minute and read the responses by THEM to the Christmas greetings videos. They pretty much say- "if ya wanna make it to Heaven vote for Huck". My God wants me to make personal decisions in my own life to make the world a better place. Voting for Ron Paul will be one of those decisions.
When I say
this generation, I mean our times, this era. Not a specific age group.
I say this because I've never seen anything quite like this revolution. When I say revolution I mean a growing awareness to the scams of the elite, the education and information explosion that is swirling around about monetary order in US, and how it controls everything, a revival towards the restoration our liberty and Constitution, as were awakened, because of people like Paul, who dare to tell the truth, standing morally upright before God and his fellow countrymen and not letting the moneychangers order, corrupt them when they go to DC.
I can't think of anytime in the last 30 years where monetary policy, has become such a forefront issue, in the sense of a need for change.
Maybe the need for change wasn't there, because the day of reckoning was still to far away.
I don't think its just pure luck that Paul is running in a time like this, when it appears our money is about to collapse.

Just my opinion.
From my perspective, God does not become involved in how we elect our leaders. BUT, many good Christians decide to become involved in our political process. Some good Christians may decide to run for Congress or other publics offices. Once they are elected, these good Christians do not take bribes and they work and vote with integrity. Other good Christians may try to get involved other ways in order to make the world a better place for their children. In the end, I believe that God leaves it up to US to do the right thing.
In the bible God teaches us
In the bible God teaches us that he gives the people the form of government they deserve... he is incharge of putting the kings and rulers in power... to be honest I do not think that the American people deserve a leader like Ron Paul.. we have butchered 50 million babies, homosexuality is accepted as an alternate lifestyle.. The US is nothing more then a pagan nation now... WE DO NOT DESERVE A MAN LIKE RON PAUL... sorry to say! the economy is collapsing-there is no honesty in government.. We the people have been derelict in our duty to this nation.. we are the ones who were dooped to vote for the idiots like ted kennedy etc..... and now the American people are going to reap what they have sown... I think the U.S. is about to be judged by God.. and we deserve it! The Lord also preserves a remnant! and I think many of those who support Ron Paul are in that remnant! now is the time to prepare for hard times! they are coming fast!
as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD
Thanks Sierra
Well said! We reap what we sow as is evidenced in these times. It's all about self-indulgence and gratification; It's all about "me" and what "I" need and deserve!
Every night I pray for the military (and their families) and if the Lord takes them (and they are not prepared) that He welcomes the "sometimes" faithful for their loyalty and dedication to their country and families and were caught in something of which they had little knowledge.
We must be prepared as if this is our last day and chance!
Brain... something that
Brain... something that gives me hope... God was set to destroy Sodom and Ghomorra (sorry spelled wrong). Abraham
pleaded with God and God said that if there was just 1 rightous in the land he would spare the cities.. I hope there is 1 rightous. in the USA!
also God has promised... if the people turn from their sin and seek Gods face he will heal their land! I pray for this nightly... hopefully God will just get our attention depression/hard times) and we will have revival and again this nation will be a Christian nation and we will put Jesus First...
as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD
I agree
I believe this is our last chance. God called Israel over and over and He finally abandoned them to the Babylonians. He is giving us one last chance to redeem ourselves and save this country. If we don't do it, then we will be abandoned to Babylon and it won't be anybodies fault but our own. God help us and God bless Ron Paul. We Christians need to become delegates!

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5,6
Amen, Yes, I believe that God has raised
Dr. Paul up from all of our prayers. I really believe that we MUST confess the sins of our nation and all its leaders and ask for forgiveness, because we certainly don't deserve Dr. Paul, as a nation, and beg God for his mercy. We are the called of God, not just this generation, but perhaps this is God's timing, for restoring the righteous to the land. We all need to pray for Dr. Paul and this nation and leaders, and confess the sins. Eli the preist of God did this for his wicked sons in the Old Testament. And in Hebrews we are called "preists of God".Oh, that God would be merciful to us, and smash the power of the elite, like he did in the time of the Tower of Babylon, which isn't much different than now.
