Tony Blair, better a "nutter" than a coward

I love the British and would have moved to England in 1999 if they had not required me to forsake my U.S. citizenship.[ I did apply to emigrate there to show my level of interest.] I wanted to serve them as a Reg Nurse and in the spreading of the gospel. I have to write that because I don't want to be misunderstood here. I have British and German ancestors and I love the U.K. and The E.U. so this is not about hostility toward them. I have no hostility toward them.I would still move there given the British government's approval.
This posting is about the article in today's news where previous Prime Minister Tony Blair finally admitted after he is not Prime Minister that his faith mattered to him. Of course, that was tampered down by his Aide's admission that he [Blair] used profanity and other ungodly deeds and words but read his Bible at night. That revelation affected greatly my perception of him, i have to tell you. He said his reason for not admitting that his faith mattered to him was that he "feared" being called the name of "nutter". Well, I say better that label than selling out JESUS or being called a "coward". Didn't JESUS say that those who hate HIM will hate HIS followers? Didn't JESUS say in Matthew 6:11-14 'blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely for MY sake. Rejoice! and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savour,wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing , but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of man. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. " The powerful allusions in these words of JESUS, THE MESSIAH, cannot be misunderstood. Salt is a universal message that when in a wound, stings! When on food,adds a lot to the palate. A city on hill shining like a beacon is understood by anyone who has traveled anywhere that involved getting there after dark. JESUS tells us that if we are not salty as followers, we are worth nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of JESUS. And if our cities don't shine as beacons of light, then they are hidden from world view.
There is one thing I admire about the Muslims greatly, and that is that they are not wishy-washy or timid about what they believe. They believe what they believe, say so, and act on it, live by, defend it, fight for it. They have done much to shame the rest of the world on the topic of religious expression. And maybe that is what the battles around the world are about? The forces of evil clashing with the forces of GOD ALMIGHTY. When you juxtapose the Muslim expressions of their faith and the so-called "christian" [and I am Christian absolutely so have the "right" to criticize them] expressions of their faith, there is no comparison. Maybe the world should thank the Muslims for not being wishy-washy, not using profanity, not guzzling booze or teaching their children to do that mind-besotting, soul-searing drugging thing, not approving or condoning sodomy, not approving or condoning adultery, not approving or holding up as public examples leaders who scoff at the Name of GOD. There is much that I admire about the Muslims so let me say so. The Christians could do well to learn from them that IF they say they are followers of GOD then they must adhere too, live by, teach, and demand that their governments implement the Commandments, judgements, laws of GOD, and turn away from the molly-coddlying of atheists.
Of course, there is much that the Muslims could and should improve. No one is converted to faith in GOD at the point of a sword. Those who convert in such a way, did so to save their lives and live to see a better day, but may not have truly understood the tenets of that religion, or truly gave consent. Surviving is the strongest instinct of all, and the Muslims have to acknowledge that. IF their faith is as they say, it will stand the test of time and it will stand the criticism of anybody. If it is not true on the other hand, it will be revealed and exposed as a false religion. They have to accept that GOD HIMSELF judges all religions and all people who are created by HIM, in all centuries, at all times and that HIS JUDGEMENT on that final day stands for all eternity.
My Tony Blair, Sir, if you run for office again then please for the sake of JESUS make known your relationship to HIM and live a godly life. When you have the leadership power and you use it the wrong way, there is a dire warning in Matthew 18 about those who deliberately and wilfully lead astray GOD's little ones, who look up to you. I ask you to read those Scriptures in the King James Holy Bible, the Bible of England, for yourself; and I ask all leaders to read them. They are the words of JESUS THE GODHEAD in the flesh who is alive forevermore [read Revelation 1: 17-18] in heaven and seated on the right hand of GOD THE FATHER in heaven who is SPIRIT.
It is for certain that the UK and the EU needs GOD-fearing leadership and removes from power those who are adulterers, and fornicators,and idolators, and ungodly folks. One of the shocks of the news lately was seeing that adulteress named Camilla who openly and willfully committed adultery [and so did Prince Charles] wearing a crown on her head in photos yesterday! I was stunned that England has fallen so low as to attempt to raise up to honor that woman. IS it time for some Godly leadership there? I think so.

Praying is NOT a crime! Indonesia please release Christians.

I am writing this entry early this am because I read in the Concerned Women of America news a few moments ago * that 41 Christians of the Campus Crusade for Christ have been imprisoned for five years for praying in Indonesia in December of 2006 that all Muslims would come to know the Living GOD whom Christians know as JESUS. I write this directly to the Judges and Muslim leaders of Indonesia and the world, praying that the ONE TRUE and LIVING GOD over all the earth, over all humans, will direct your eyes and your heart toward this message. The Christians prayed privately apparently but like Daniel in the lion's den**, as recorded in the Holy Bible, there were people who wanted to trap them and they videotaped the prayer secretly and played it before a Muslim Judge.

Indonesia, I ask you to remember that worshipping GOD including prayers to GOD is not a crime even in your nations. You say that worship Al-Lah, and that HE is the ONE true GOD. So do we Christians worship the ONE TRUE and LIVING GOD*** whose name is JESUS, who does not persecute HIS believers, but blesses them! {Read Deuteronomy chapter 28 for the blessings of GOD on those who hear GOD's words and obey them. It is satan that hates GOD and GOD's followers and you must not be deceived by who the enemy is. The enemy of GOD and the followers/believers of GOD is satan and THE BIBLE tells us to be aware of him,and not to be deceived by his lies. It is written, "JESUS said unto them, 'if GOD were your FATHER, ye would love ME, for I proceeded forth and came from GOD; neither came I of MYSELF, but HE sent ME. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear MY word. YE are of your father, the devil [satan] and the lusts of your father, ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it." " [John 8:42-44].
It is satan who wants to destroy Christians because we believe in the LIVING GOD raised from the dead to conquer death, after three days in the grave, after having been crucified in the flesh. JESUS rose again and is alive forevermore according to Revelations 1: 17-19, as written,JESUS said to John the apostle in the Revelation: "Fear not, I AM the first and the last; I AM HE that liveth and was dead, and behold I AM ALIVE forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are and the things which shall be hereafter."
Sir, Judges, I ask you to release the Christians who prayed for the people of your countries to know The Living GOD.THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.
Muslims have a different name for GOD as they have a different word [than say, English speakers] have for everything and everybody] but there is only ONE GOD over all. You must not punish those who care enough about your nations and your people groups to pray! Sirs,that would be like a slap in the face to GOD! GOD is the avenger of the innocents and of those who suffer for HIS name's sake. Remember that,and please set free those you have imprisoned for the love of JESUS. Christians are not infidels if they follow the written and spoken words of JESUS, THE LORD and MESSIAH. Your Muslim Koran speaks of JESUS and you know that, and I know that, and it speaks of a Mahdi who will come to the earth again to judge the living and the dead and reward the followers of JESUS..JESUS is the Mahdi you are looking for. HE IS THE MESSIAH, THE REDEEMER, the way, the truth and the life.

*This was first reported by Voice of the Martyrs and then by CWA [Concerned Women] on November 16,2007.

** If you read the Biblical record of what happened when Daniel of the Bible defied the order not to pray to HIS GOD,[YHWY, JEHOVAH, GOD, THE MOST HIGH GOD, MAKER of heaven and earth, CREATOR, ONE GOD, TRUE GOD, JESUS} then you will know that GOD rescued Daniel from the destruction that the wicked had planned for him because he loved GOD and put GOD first in all ways.

*** JESUS said, "I and MY FATHER [in heaven] are ONE {GOD}." John 10:30, King James Holy Bible

Note, I have put many writings from the Bible online in several places. Visit http://kjv-bible.info for the beginning chapter of BIBLE about how GOD created the world and humans. Visit http://publish-the-word.info/ for some of the words of GOD that HE spoke directly and that were recorded in BIBLE and then on that website,and http://lifemedia-publishing.org/ for more of GOD's words; and http://gloriapoole.bravediary.com for Children of THE FATHER in heaven, blog, and many many other works to help teach the gospel truth. You Muslims know the gospel as the injil, I think??

Praising GOD anyway!

I am very aware that the holiday of Thanks-giving is approaching and I always love that holiday. However I am sure as I live and breathe that giving thanks to GOD at all times is very important to GOD and to us humans also.
I include the Scriptures that teach this principle:
" .. .bringing the sacrifices of praise unto The House of THE LORD." [Jeremiah 17: 26 latter]

" I will bless THE LORD at all times; HIS praise shall continually be in my mouth."Psalms 34:1

"While I live, I will praise THE LORD; I will sing praises unto my GOD while I have my being," Psalms 146: 2 [and I will sing praises to HIM in heaven too, with the Angels! some day]

"Sing forth the honour of HIS NAME; make HIS praise glorious." Psalms 66:2

"By HIM let us offer the sacrifice of praise to GOD continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks unto HIS NAME." Hebrews 13: 15

All Scripture from The King James Holy Bible.

Of course, the phrase the "sacrifice of praise" means that you praise GOD even if you don't teel like it, and even if your circumstances are not as you would like them to be. By acknowledging that GOD is GOD at all times, and that there is ONLY ONE GOD over all; and by honoring THE HOLY NAME OF GOD at all times,then keeping the perspective that GOD is in charge of all that happens on the earth,is very reassuring. Believe me, I know this from my own life.

The reason I publish/post these Scriptures is because of this Scripture passage, "The word of THE LORD spake. .. declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard, and publish, and conceal not. . . " Jeremiah 50:2
