The Hostile Spiritual Takeover of Our Nation

The Hostile Spiritual Takeover of Our Nation

Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International

Anyone who has watched national politics closely in the past year and a half has seen a panoply of aggressive political moves that are reported about in hostile terms. There are government "takeovers" of huge industries, public officials "moving against" businesses and individuals, court decisions "striking down" statutes and executive initiatives "attacking" fundamentally sane institutions and plans. Even in times of war, I don't think we have ever had such violent social and political maneuvering in our public life. The worst aspect of it is that all the rapaciousness is directed inward. If we were laying waste the enemies of the innocent citizens of our society in the same way we are consuming our own healthy institutions, how different our public life would be! The current hostile initiatives are nothing of the sort, however. They are essentially demonic takeovers of sacred institutions by the pagans who hold the reins of power.

Let me be clear: I am not saying that our public officials are demons. I am saying that they are acting like demons. Demons lie, cheat and steal - obsessively. It is their nature. Once the demons rejected God, they fell into a dark world devoid of love and dominated by the ethic of the survival of the fittest where "might is right". The human beings that serve them act in much the same way when they implement their agendas and policies. Whenever they are in control of institutions or governments, they lie, cheat and steal. In their minds, they are right because they have the might - and to the victors go the spoils.

But what did we expect, really? Our nation elected unabashedly pagan representatives who are possessed of a tapestry of unclean ideologies who have an almost religious fervor in advancing their control over greater sectors of our common life and economy. The sad part is that these people who govern us are simply being true to their convictions: before the election, they were not abashed in telling us how radical they are, and now we are reaping the fruits of the demonic agenda of the death and destruction that they have brought with them.

I would despair of this situation had I not met so many decent and God-fearing Americans who do not agree with the mainstreaming of paganism into our culture. I have met the virtuous side of America, and it is to these that I write these words of encouragement: be strong! We must be true to the core Christian principles that made this nation great! Be not afraid of the severe conflicts with the pagan world that we will have to endure in the very near future. We are not alone in this battle. There are many more moral and decent Americans than we realize. It's just that the good ones are busy about raising families and keeping the basic fabric of our society intact. They are not the hedonists and manipulators that strive obsessively to control public discourse and institutions. They are there in the background and form the true foundation of our society.

In time, the proper spiritual leadership will emerge which will bind us together and form us into a fighting force called the Church Militant - the only spiritual force that can truly resist the hostile spiritual takeover of our nation. Let us not forget, however, that we must get down on our knees and beg, plead, and implore God to restore our once-great nation to its grandeur. We will not see the dawn of a renewed nation without prayer and sacrifice. The momentum of righteousness, consisting of all the humble goodness taking place at the grass-roots level of the Church and society, will eventually build, and we will take back our nation - not only at the ballot box but above all in the hearts and minds of all those who love God and are doing their best to love their neighbor. We will then be able to cast out the unclean spirits that are destroying everything that we hold sacred, and society will once again be governed by righteous men. For such an end we place our deepest hope in Christ, our true and only Savior!

Obama and his regime are Maoists. That is, state is the new religion.

But let's not deny that they might be...or at the very least under the control (permission required and granted) or direction of demons.

Alinsky amoral thug socialism is the devout religion of the Democrat Party, its mass media, and the Marxists who seized control of many universities.

And (without the slightest doubt) zealot Obama.

Harry Reid and many democrat politicians pretend to give homage to their Marxist religion while pigishly enriching themselves while no one is looking.

Amen! This is a good battle cry:

Psalm 144

Prayer for National Deliverance and Security
Of David.

1Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
2my rock* and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues the peoples* under me.

3O Lord, what are human beings that you regard them,
or mortals that you think of them?
4They are like a breath;
their days are like a passing shadow.

5Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
touch the mountains so that they smoke.
6Make the lightning flash and scatter them;
send out your arrows and rout them.
7Stretch out your hand from on high;
set me free and rescue me from the mighty waters,
from the hand of aliens,
8whose mouths speak lies,
and whose right hands are false.

9I will sing a new song to you, O God;
upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
10the one who gives victory to kings,
who rescues his servant David.
11Rescue me from the cruel sword,
and deliver me from the hand of aliens,
whose mouths speak lies,
and whose right hands are false.

12May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars,
cut for the building of a palace.
13May our barns be filled
with produce of every kind;
may our sheep increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields,
14 and may our cattle be heavy with young.
May there be no breach in the walls,* no exile,
and no cry of distress in our streets.

15Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall;
happy are the people whose God is the Lord.

True freedom means independence of the soul to pursue it’s chosen path of expression. The Obama regime is a threat to that freedom.

And it’s all done with the willing compliance of the American people, who support liberals in the vain hope that socialism can preserve their jobs and economic footing.

But to his backers “obama” is probably some foreign word for “freedom” and “license”.

Many will call this piece hyperbole; but I don’t think it goes far enough. What’s under the surface is deplorable.

I’ve been involved as a supporter of HLI ever since Fr. Marx founded it.

I must say I have never heard Fr. Eutener speak in this way before. He is not an extremist, but a sane and sensible and orthodox supporter of the right to life.

And he is right. Evil has clearly taken over our country. There’s no other way to put it. They aren’t just naive, or stupid. They are greedy and evil. And although their intention is to serve themselves with greed, and to gather power to themselves, they are unwittingly serving the devil.

One of the names or servants of the devil, I am sorry to say, is the Muslim god, Allah. And Mohammed is his prophet.

The Bible calls it “persecution” and tells Christians they will have the world hate them because of their faith in Jesus as their Savior.
We should not be surprised. We should prepare.

I wonder if the Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer has seen the Yuri Besmenov tapes?

Our nation is now thoroughly and completely “demoralized”, a Yuri Besmenov warned in the 1980s. We are now on the brink of destabilization.

Yet...Conservatives have no rational plan for RE-moralizing the nation?

What’s under the surface is monstrous. In every sense of the word. They are killers without conscience.

I’ve been thinking about what you’ve said about RE-moralizing the nation. It won’t come about through church attendance. Most of them have turned into socialist whorehouses preaching “social and economic justice” and sheepery. Education, hard work and the willingness to cast off the chains of spiritual slavery - that’s the key. And it will not come about without a terrible cost.

That distinction will be lost on their victims, I think.
