Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation



: 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.
:
: Amen!'

Meaningless Expression in the Media

I have published this list of the ACLU's plan to destroy American democracy in the past. It is amazing how far they have come and how they have stayed true to the plan.

Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.

Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and television.

Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."

Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion.

Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture."... Obliterate the American past, with its antecedents in principles of freedom, liberty and private ownership is a major goal of the communists then and now.

Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.'

Today I want to zero in on one bullet point: Artistic Expression. Art is called a medium. It is a channel through which ideas thought and feelings are expressed to the viewer. The Media as in Print, Radio, T.V. and Film, are definitely artistic medium.
What I have been noticing with exploding frequency is how the media has been lost to the ACLU agenda. The Media has become meaningless!
What got me on the observation kick was threefold. Paid advertisement masquerading in the news media, un-Reality Shows, and the suppression of two sided debate on important issues, in all media.

Paid for News

I first noticed this on the grocery store tabloid covers. Every time an actress/actor had a movie coming out their picture was on the cover of everything. It got to the point that you could look at the covers and know who just finished making a movie. Of course none of the headline could be believed: their breaking up, their making up, their having an affair, they...! Is the endless saga of the CarTrashians really in any way important to the lives of Americans? (whats another word for selling your body and beauty for fame and fortune). Those people are truly life imitating art (soap operas) in an attempt to become art! You expect it to be mindless useless information from the tabloids, but it became commonplace in "real" magazines, newspapers and T.V. News as well. I guess what really set me off was when they interrupted a legitimate T.V. show with important breaking news. Was it another terrorist attack, an earthquake, an attempted assassination? No, the thing that was so important that all Americans just had to know was that Jon and Kate had reached a divorce agreement!!! Do Jon and Kate really exist in the real world as a couple or were they just made up on some soundstage?
Last Sept. There was a news spot on Walmart starting Christmas promotions early. I saw it on Fox affiliate channel 7 in Boston. Two weeks later the exact same news spot, with the same film footage was on Boston channel 5. It was obvious that Walmart had paid to dress it up as news.
We all remember Paul Harvey and "Page 2"... It was always clear that this part of his broadcast was a "tongue in cheek" commercial. It was not disguised as real news the way I am seeing now. If the news and information shows can be bought outright and no care to maintain integrity is preserved, then we suddenly are left blowing in the winds of rumors. If truth is taken out of a society the best lying psychopath will enslave it. (example: Hitler)
How meaningless are all of those "reality" shows that everyone is taken up about. Semi-scripted soap operas, with an even greater moral decay, I call them.
Lenin called, "religion the opiate of the masses". I think he meant that he could not get the faith filled to react outrageously at his whim. This decay in artistic media expression is an opiate diversion meant to keep the masses stoned while the thief creeps in and runs away with life!
Does anyone remember how newsmen investigated and broken open scandal in government actions. I am not talking about the personal lives of politicians. I am talking about real underhanded abuse of the public trust in caring for the democracy.
The ACLU has not wavered in its plans. They have won another philosophical battle. We are toast without truth!
Isn't this like the days when God put lying spirits into the mouths of the prophets, and confounded the wisdom of the advisors?

Answer to a Comment: Haiti

I received a comment to my Haiti post that I would like to answer. Now I "moderate" all post for good reason. Any of you who are bloggers have probably seen comments posted,or attempted, touting prophetic knowledge of the rise of xyz penny stock! "Make $500 by 10am. Yeah, yeah, get your own blog!
I also want to cut out obscene posts and disguised links to child porn sites, etc.
I do not refuse opposing points of view.
With that said I need to answer the following comment I will italicize what they wrote and comment in between

I am so sorry but how can you say Haiti is evil, by who standards?
At this point I have to stop and ask, do you believe there any such thing as evil, right and wrong?. There are a whole slew of people out there claiming to be Christians that have bought into the Unitarian/Universalism lie that a loving God would not set up rules, resulting in the sending of some to eternal hell. Everything may be relative in the jelly they call a brain but not in God's eternal truth! I believe the Bible is his word and clearly spells out what is evil and what is holy!

It amazes me how certain prominent Christian leaders having been pointing out a certain pact that supposedly took place a time where many of them were not even born.
The Voodoo pact if it is true does have an impact. Trading souls for power in a blood ritual can only be broken by the blood of Christ. Indeed I know that some 175,000 Haitians claim to be washed in the blood Nazarenes, and there are others I am sure. What shows Haiti to be evil is its state of perpetual anarchy.
Anarchy originates from the rebellion of Satan in heaven and manifests into the natural realms through godless people. Lawlessness is Godlessness.

Haiti is no more sinful than any other country. There are believers and non believers in that country just like there all over this nation.
And didn't I say that we (the U.S of A ) deserved the judgement for our evil just as much as Haiti! Haiti is held up as a warning of what is to come. THis is a "Birthpang" sign that the tribulation is coming soon. No one righteous died in that earthquake because God has promised the righteous eternal life. He who gave life will give it back. And they are just presently with their Lord. I am sure they are not too upset about that.
There is nothing about this so called pact in the bible so please tell me where everyone is getting this new found information from.
This statement really bothers me. There are 100's of verses condeming and spelling out the results and judgements for participating in occultic forms of spirituality the Bible calls sorcery, idolatry, and divination. Here is a list of some verses you need to read>>>

Exodus 22:18, Deuteronomy 18:10-12, 1Samuel 15:23, Malachi 3:5, Acts 13:6-11 Galatians 5:19-21, Revelations 21:8. I have chosen just a few Old and New Testament scriptures.


Trust me when the tribulation starts there will be no denying that it is here. The bible states that clearly just read the book of Revelations. As Christians we were put on this earth to blessing to others to try to spread the gospel and help and uplift each other not to think that we were better than anyone. There is no perfect person but Jesus and god himself. It amazes me how quick we as Christians are quick to judge everyone except for ourselves. How many ministers are there who claim to be Christians who are prejudice and racist of others who do not look like them? First I believe in pre-tribulation Rapture so when the tribulation starts righteous Christians will be in heaven with Christ. New Christians will be born out of those left but I don't believe the current ones will go through the Tribulation.
How many are there who are committing sins such as adultery, having impure thoughts, sexual acts and living double life styles, racist, and every other sin but still continue to go to the pulpit and preach every day. The only being who can hold anyone accountable and that will happen on judgment day is god himself.
I am glad you mention racist in that group. Did I not mention in my post that Jonah might have been a racist. And did I not denounce self-righteousness?
