There was no pony at Auschwitz!
I believe God is a hands-off operator, Lloyd!
I trust in God. I know that He is merciful. But I also know that He is just, and that America has turned away from Him. There may be no pony for us.
Thank you Lloyd, and may God Bless you and your family.
I actually typed this comment for another thread, however it is more fitting here.
Thank you for the reminder.
There is no question in my mind that we are entering the beginning times. I prefer not to call them end times as they are not end times any more than a pregnancy is the end of life. We are entering a birthing period that is very painful, but necessary. Remember, you can’t put new wine into an old flask or patch an old garment with new cloth. You must get rid of the old as a person that is full of himself has no room for God. That is what is happening right now.
If we lower ourselves to the level of those we oppose, we become like them and we too will be destroyed. Remember Jesus’ words when He was being persecuted, “Forgive them Father as they know not what they do.”
Yes, there is global warming. but it is not man made. Just as giving a prayerful blessing to an evil person is like placing hot coals upon their heads, and just as the weeds in the wheat field will be burned, we will only lose if we too become weeds. Right now, the presence of the Holy Spirit and Divine Grace is stronger here on earth than ever, and increasing every moment.
Remember how Daniel was not harmed by the fire but the guards who threw him into the furnace were killed? Or Justin Martyr or Polycarp who according to the Roman court records, had to be pulled from the fire and stabbed to death as the fire they were place into did not harm them.
I personally expected Obama to win as the signs of the times were too strong and Romney to the rescue did not fit the sequence of events or timeline unfolding. I have sorrow what happened due to the difficult times ahead, but joy as it is a sign that we are in wonderful times ahead.
I grew up very, very poor and can live that way again. While I have gratitude for the many blessings bestowed upon me, I would let them all go today to return to communing with my Father. There is no choice. Having died and returned here, I can say that with no reservations.
Always remember, God is in control and everything is unfolding exactly as He planned. Years ago I was doing a lot of demonic deposession work. For some reason unknown to me, I can communicate with ghosts and spirits easily. I had a personal war on darkness. When I would encounter a demon or dark spirit, I would work my way up the chain of command structure, capturing each higher commander until I got close to the top. Each of these I would redeem as Lightworkers by pointing out the lies they lived by and helped them lose their fear, and then send them to the Light. After working to the top of the command using a single command line, I would redeem the top commander and have him call out to all those under his command to come forth and be redeemed. All hell broke loose one evening as there were hundreds of thousands of dark spots coming forward, each encapsuled in a bubble of Divine Light, all floating upward. Suddenly the room got freezing cold and there I was, face to face with satan. I turned to Michael and said, “There he is. You can get him!” To which Michael replied to me, “It’s not time yet.”
That was the end of my personal war on darkness as I realized that God was in control and what was happening was exactly what He had planned. Remember, God created the demons too. Things are happening right now, exactly as Peter described in Acts 2 when he was quoting the prophet Joel. It’s time. Hang onto your hat and keep looking up. We are in the springtime of soul growth and it is my prayer that everyone starts working in the vineyard prior to the end of the day.
Blessings
Both the establishment and Tea Pary each had some crappy Senate candidates in both 2010 and 2012.
The real problem in one word: Hispanics.
If we don’t find a way to relate to this bloc, we’ll never win another presidential race.
The situation is infuriating - they are family people, Catholic, pro-life but they evidently cannot comprehend capitalism. Somebody please explain to me. I am told Hispanics are industrious, proud people - how the Hell does this align w Obama?
Lloyd, you are a great American! Thank you for this uplifting message, I needed it today.
With the democrats in control of the entitlement society, the Republic is lost.
I believe Benjamin Franklin said...
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
230+ years as a beacon to the world, it’s been a good run.
Keep digging.

Grover Nordquist was just on CNBC and said that the re-election of the GOP controlled house was more important that Obama’s re-election. The reason is that the GOP was re-elected on its pledge not to raise taxes and passed budget legislation aimed at reducing the deficit and restoring fiscal health. Obama, he said, ran on personal attacks on Mitt Romney and had a slender margin of victory. Thus, Obama’s re-election only means the public wants him “to be not Mitt Romney.” I thought it was a nice analysis of the election outcomes.
God has shed his abundant Grace on this nation, time and time again. And perhaps He will continue to do so.
But I don’t think there’s much doubt that we as a nation have forsaken Him in many ways. If He were to abandon us to our fate, until such time as we have seen the error of our ways, there would a measure of Divine Justice in it.
I certainly do not know the future or presume to guess at God’s plan. But I can not shake the feeling that there is a Reckoning coming, and that it is well deserved.
Bless you, Lloyd. You are a good man and I hope that you are right.
We are winning even as we lost.

Fun fact. Debbie Stabenow got more votes in Michigan than emperor Obama. LOL
2,594,617 Stabenow to 1,708,256 Hoekstra
2,432,113 Obama to 2,040,175 Romney
Thank you, Lloyd. I’ve been wondering about His purpose in all this. I pray we all “get” the point of the lesson soon, whatever it is!
I’m still hoping God allowed this reelection so that all past crimes/scandals, etc., as well as those that we know will occur in the future, will finally take him out, and turn the people permanently away from the Democrat party. I can dream can’t I?
A little simplistic.
Obama and the Democrats equate to a sense of security for single women and latinos. They own these groups.
The Republicans must articulate why their security solution is better than theirs. This is touchy-feely, but Republicans must learn the game.
Mark Rubio's family immigrated as a protected class, so his credibility may be limited on this.
This nation is dead and many who call themselves "Christians" are as guilty of its murder as any Obama voter. What Obama does in the next four years will never be undone.
Actually, as bad as things seem, we are in an infinitely better position than we were at this time in 2008. Remember in 2008, Democrats controlled a majority of governorships, state legislatures, the presidency, a huge majority in the Congress and a filibuster proof margin in the senate.
Today we control over 30 governorships (and gained some more on election day), the vast majority of state legislatures. And the House of Representatives (who controls the governments purse strings) by a respectable margin.
A Christian who believes in a sovereign God can take solace in spite of 0bama being re-elected. But that only applies if that Christian got off of his butt and voted last Tuesday.
I believe in Deo Fisus Labora. Trusting God, work.
If I stand by and watch some thug murder my neighbor without lifting a hand to help, I cannot claim that is God’s will. I must do all I can to help His righteous will prevail. Otherwise, I have sided with evil by doing nothing. So lazy, Christian non-voters should be repenting in sackcloth and ashes, not blabbering about God’s will be done. Every dead baby paid for by our tax dollars is a stain upon our soul if we did not fight with all of our strength to prevent that from happening.
Passiveness is not equivalent to trusting God.
May God have mercy on us.
