"Satan's Strategy"

Back in 1965, radio commentator Paul Harvey predicted with chilling accuracy the strategy the devil has used to drag America to the brink of destruction. Read carefully, Harvey's 50-year old blast from the past and recognize it for what it was: A warning from God.

“If I were the devil, I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States.

I’d subvert the churches first—I would begin with a campaign of whispers. 

With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please. Do as you please..do as you please.” 

To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. 

I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. 

And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to pray after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’ 

And then I’d get organized.  I’d educate authors on how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. 

I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. 

I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. 

If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches that war with themselves, and nations that war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. 

And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.  

If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, and neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door. 

Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography. 

Soon I could evict God from the courthouse, and then the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. 

And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. 

I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. 

If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle. 

If I were the devil I’d take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. 

What do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? 

I would question against extremes and hard work, and patriotism, and moral conduct. 

I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. 

And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. 

In other words, if I were the devil I’d keep right on doing what he’s doing." --Paul Harvey, 1965

 A wise man once said: "The devil wants your soul forever. If I'm the devil, I make you beg for things America once stood against." -- Glenn Beck

"Do not do as the wicked do or follow the path of evildoers." Proverbs 4:14 

"Trust the LORD with all your heart..." Proverbs 3:5

"...so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes." 2 Corinthians 2:11

"The U.S. Is Shockingly Unprepared"

Imagine, if you will, the power going down--not just at your house, but across several states. And not just for a few days, but for multiple weeks or even months.

In his book, Lights Out, investigative reporter Ted Koppel lays out just such a scenario.

Only  according to Ted, it isn't just a scenario.

"A major cyber attack on America's power grid is not only possible, but likely."

The devastation would include:

• no running water
• no sewage
• no refrigeration or lights
• a lack of food/medical supplies
• no banks
• widespread looting and deteriorating law and order

 "A well-designed attack on just one of the nation's three electric power grids could cripple much of our infrastructure", says Koppel.

"And in the age of cyber-warfare, a laptop has become the only necessary weapon."

"Several nations hostile to the United States could launch such an assault at any time," he said.

"In fact, China and Russia have already penetrated the grid," according to a former Chief Scientist of the NSA. "They can take us down with a keystroke."

And then there's the independent actors like 'hacktivists' (not to mention terrorists!) that have the capability as well.

"It's not a question of if," says Cent-Com Commander General Lloyd Austin, "it's a question of when."

And yet, (surprise, surprise) the federal government HAS NO PLAN (unless you consider Homeland Security's warning to 'have extra batteries and a transistor radio a 'plan').

"The United States is shockingly unprepared," Koppel laments.

"While well-prepared for natural disasters, (the government) has no plan for the aftermath of an attack on the power grid," he said, and wonders how (or if) "the civilian population will survive."

Koppel's advice? "Take matters into your own hands. Prepare now for a catastrophe that is all but inevitable."

A wise man once said: "I personally believe that the reason the U.S. is not mentioned in end time prophecy is because we will suddenly cease to be a world power and will therefore play no significant role in end time events." -- Dr. David R. Reagan

"This is what the LORD says: 'Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions. ' But they will reply, 'It's no use. We will continue with our own plans; we will follow the stubbornness of our evil hearts." Jeremiah 18:11-12

"A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences."  Proverbs 22:3

"Has Your Life Changed?"

The percentage of U.S. adults who say they are "absolutely certain" God exists 
has slipped, according to Pew Research Center's Religious Landscape Study.

No surprise there--anyone with half a functioning brain cell can see God is no longer at the top of our national priority list.

And for the college student, the downward trend has accelerated even more. Christians are being mocked and ridiculed by a university system that insists science and God are mutually exclusive.

Physicist Frank J. Tipler, an expert in the field of quantum cosmology, begs to differ.

In his book, "The Physics of Christianity", the scientist "demonstrates that the essential beliefs of Christianity are wholly consistent with the laws of physics."

Tipler even illustrates a scientific foundation for the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, and the Incarnation of Christ.

While interesting, scientific proof doesn't always result in saving faith.

Why? Because faith in Christ as Savior is not a head issue--it's a heart problem.

Intellectual belief in God will not get you into heaven. James 2:19 says: 

"You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror."

Saving faith takes God at His word. The Bible is His Word and it says every one of us is a sinner separated from God.

The Good News? God is an equal opportunity Savior to all those who respond to Christ's death for their sin with genuine faith.

How do you know if your faith is genuine? Simply put--your life will change. Over time, you should see a transformation. If you don't--something is wrong.

1 John 2:3 says, 

"And how can we be sure that we belong to Him? By obeying His commandments. If someone says, 'I belong to God', but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and does not live in truth. But those who obey God's word really do love Him. That is the way to know whether or not we live in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Christ did."

In other words, we no longer live our old lifestyle of sexual immorality, lying, stealing, drugs, drunkenness, etc. We read God's word so we can know what His expectations are. We go to church--not to get saved--but because we are saved. We love the things of God: His word, His people, His ways (1 John 3:14).

In short, we work hard to prove we really are among those God has called and chosen (1 Peter 1:10).

A wise man once said: "The reality is--if God is at work in your life, then you will be able to see a notable change in your life. If nothing changes, it's very unlikely you have been saved. Odds are--you are not on the road that leads to Heaven." -- Jack Hibbs, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away, behold the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Be absolutely sure you're going to Heaven.

"Is The U.S. Sowing Seeds Of Destruction?"

When nature is allowed to run its course, you'll end up with a certain balance, especially when it comes to gender.

For instance, 105 male babies are born for every 100 females.

By age 30, the numbers become equal. Why? Because the death rate for boys is slightly higher than girls.

In other words, there is roughly one male for every marriage-age female.

Not so in China. Abortion based on gender has unnaturally stacked the deck in favor of boys.

The result? 40 million Chinese men facing life without a mate.

The Chinese would call this cause-and-effect (the end result from a certain action).

The Bible calls it 'reaping what you've sown'.

David Kupelian, author of The Snapping of the American Mind, believes the U.S. is sowing the seeds of its own destruction. Kupelian contends:

"We have a culture and a bureaucracy in which basically we're taught there is no God, there is no right and wrong, and the biblical morals that this country did pretty well with for several centuries are oppressive and racist and we need to get rid of them."

China thought they needed draconian family planning rules (e.g. murdering lots of baby girls). Decades later they've got 40,000,000 frustrated and angry men on their hands and a demographic bent towards violence and an illicit sex trade.

Kupelian believes "America the Beautiful" will morph into "America the Bizarre" if our nation continues on its current path. Only it won't take decades. It seems our people have already lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, male and female, and what's good and what is evil.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life" Galatians 6:7-8.

A wise man once said: "It is a vain attempt to "mock" God for a Christian to think that if he sows to his flesh he can escape the harvest of destruction and judgment that comes upon those who participate in sin." -- Andrew Hill, Ph. D.
