Mighty Man of Valor
In the Bible, Judges 6, there’s a judge named Gideon. I mention his story to make an important point about victory. Gideon had an army of 32,000 to face an army of 135,000. Not great odds but doable. God in a proper translation was the mighty men of valor the strength of Gideon. He told Gideon the odds are too good, Israel might take credit for themselves. He took his army down to 300. 450 to 1 are not probable odds except with one powerful God who is mighty in valor. Today’s story is a mere repeat. Who would send two undereducated men to face down an army of bankers? Judges, politicians, and the alphabet soup? Only a mighty man of valor would hope to win. I share in His confidence, he’s done it before. Some of you mistake my confidence as arrogance, but by doing so you displace my hope. I don’t believe in false humility; I have great skills. At their peak I still don’t’ like my odds. Like you need a champion, so do I. Mine is mighty in valor and is a proven victor. Is there a glory to call my own in this victory? Only if I was the imagined scoundrel thief of my naysayers. For any honest man who understands the odds God will receive His just glory and we will merely share in the spoils. Consider this at our federal dismissal.

You squirreled away a cache of hated FRN's in Latvia, while His children lost their homes.
He must be very proud of you.
Not.
Do you wear a crown of thorns, too?
I just realized (as a drama student)that in every drama theres an antagonist...A hostile adversary who is opposed to the truth and the good guys.
Sometimes, in my finite human thinking, I cant comprehend why an all powerfull, loving G-d wont just eliminate human suffering in one swift wave of his arm. But then i remember that He is the G-D of incredible drama. The greatest screenwriters to ever lift a pen can't even come close to the script written by the Almighty. No one can match His special effects either. Thats why G-d tells Gideon (as Kurt points out) to cut his army down to 300....it creates better drama;)
Thats why when Yeshua walked the earth as a man He displayed the character and skills of His Father as a storyteller....a speaker of parables to demonstrate his point. He was a "chip off the old block". Wow!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, G-d Almighty is sticking to His script. We should have faith in HIM that this story is going to have a good ending because every good story does. We at least know what His will and His view on the matter is (Hab 2:6 + countless other scriptures) so why not trust HIM. G-d told the prophet Habakkuk in the Bible "But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" (Hab 2:3) G-d also says "...the just shall live by his faith" (Hab2:4)
And why not ignore these antagonists and naysayers on this blog who have CHOSEN their part in this drama. I assume that they know the scriptures just as well as we do but yet they still CHOOSE the wrong side. I never hear them comdemn the acts of the bankers and the evil men who have conspired to enslave multitudes of people thru fraud.
But then i remember again that someone has to be the antagonist, someone has to play the adversary part. Thats why the scriptures shows us G-d's response to conspiring men.... "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh..." )Psalm 2:4). Why? Because He is the scriptwriter and He knows the outcome.
I appreciate that Kurt and Scott are men (not perfect) who have chosen the hardest parts in this drama. But i believe, by faith, that when the curtains finally close they will be rewarded by an overwhelmed audience and the GREAT SCREENWRITER who knew all along that they were perfect for the part.
tcob,
pray that he comes out of the military.
Yeshua has NOTHING to do with killing PERIOD.
This is something one either undertands or one doesnt, but the bible is VERY CLEAR about killing people.
Sorry thats all I can say about it.
Even a cook in the militry is supporting a machine whos sole purpose is to kill.
Im sure there are those who belive that its OK to kill in the name of peace....
"...by peace, he shall make go away many..."
thats the AC's motto.
Problem is, Kurt the Con Man, you aren’t facing down an army of “bankers, judges, politicians and the alphabet soup.” What you will face is a judge and a prosecutor in a criminal trial (and, oh yeah, a mountain of incriminating evidence). But, hey, if it trips your trigger, you just keep right on with your blasphemous sucking up – 20 to life ought to be long enough to repent.
I was just waiting for you all to quote from the OLD TESTAMENT.
YEHSUA IS THE NEW TESTAMENT.
YOU CAN DEMONSTRATE ALL YOU WANT.
save your time. I already said, taht you either understand it form the Holy Spirit or you dont.
IF you think that Yeshua has anythng to do with killing, I really feel bad for you.
You too have the cloak of blindness on you.
Dont bother to write on this issue further, as I will not debate it.
go into meditation and prayer that the HS can give you wisdom to interpret scripture properly.
tcob said....
So are we as a country to bend over and take it in the ASS from terrorists who run planes into our buildings.
YOUR GOVT. ARE TERRORISTS
Shame on you for denigrading my son who is putting his young life on the line for people like you.
I AM NOT DENIGRATING ANYONE,JUST BRINGING THE TRUTH.
WHEN ONE BRINGS THE TRUTH AGAINST WHAT EVERYONE MISTAKENLY BELIEVES, ONE MUST TAKE THE HEAT.
YESHUA TOOK THE HEAT FROM THOSE WHO COULD NOT SEE THE TRUTH.
I will pray for his safety and VICTORY (death)over out sworn enemies
YOUR PRAYERS CANNOT OVERRULE WHATH THE BIBLE SAYS.
"THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD, SHALL PERISH BY IT" (NO EXCEPTIONS-though i am sure that many pastors find excepations for military personnel ie., "those who live by the sword shall perish by it, except those in the military." because in the OT God sanctioned killing, and He did, but Yeshua now superceds the OT; did anyone kill for Yeshua in the NT. NO!
so quote all your OT you want; it doesnt count, but if it makes you happy, keep doing it.
when Yeshua told the apostles that He was going the be killed, the aopostle said that they would not allow it to happen. What did Yeahua say..."get behind thee satan" ie., dont even think about it, killing anyone for Me.
E.O.S.
END OF STORY
Hockeydonn,
I really like your approach....very clever;)
SOP
Is your Yeshua the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Who has been and always will be?
YES. THE SAME ONE.
How is it that you dismiss the God of the Old Testiment?
I DO NOT 'DISMISS' THE OT, BUT FOR CHRISTIAN TODAY IT IS MERELY HISTORICAL ACCOUNT.
OTHERWISE WE WOULD STILL BE MAKING ANIMAL SACRIFICES??
YESHUA CAME TO DIE FOR US, TRUE, AND IF WE WOULD BE EXACTLY LIKE HIM, WE WOULD DO THE SAME THING.
TAKE 'CHRISTIAN' CHURHCES TODAY, THEY DONT DO ANYTHING BIBLICAL.
THEY PREACH TO THE ELECT.
IF THEY WANT TO GET SOMETHING DONE, LET THEM GO INTO A SYNAGOGUE AND PREACH TO JEWS, AND THEN GET THROW OUT, AND THEN GO BACK, AND THEN GET THROWN OUT AND POSSIBLY ARRESTED AND KEEP GONG BACK ETC. ETC. ETC.
THIS IS WHAT YESHUA WOULD HAVE DONE.
BUT DO CHURCHES TODAY DO THIS???
THEY ARE ALL FALSE CHURCHES, AND THIS IS WHY THEY WILL BE GIVEN OVER TO SATAN. NO TRUTH IN THEM.
--------------------------
THE MILITARY CANNOT ENSLAVE ANYONE WHO WOULD NOT LET THEM. YOU CAN JUST SAY NO. NO EXCUSES.
MOST JOIN BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY WNAT GLORY, OR ENJOY KILLING AND WONT ADIMIT IT EVEN TO THEMSELFVES.
I BRING THE TRUTH AND I EXPECT TO TAKE THE HEAT. (HATE)
ITS OK, I CAN TAKE IT.
ANYONE WHO BRINGS TRUTH MUST EXPECT THIS AS YESHUA DID.
"REMEMBER, THAT WHEN THEY HATE YOU, THAT THEY HATED ME FIRST."
AND THE HATE IS PERPETUATED BY ALL THE FALSE CHURCHES THAT TEACH THAT ITS OK TO KILL IN YESHUAS NAME. (IE, THE MILITARY)
BUT THATS OK, THEIR DAY IS COMING FOR ALL THEIR HERESY. THESE FALSE CHURCHS WILL GO DOWN ONE BY ONE.
"THEIR SOUL IS NOT UPRIGHT, THERE IS SIMPLY NO TRUTH IN THEM"
hockey donn...
I judge no one. I simply bring the truth. If that condems someone, so be it.
It is because the truth is painful tht no one is willing to bring it.
Im sorry, but the military is not excused.
I feel bad for those who are blinded and think its OK to kill and tht they belive the churches that tell them so.
Nonetheless, truth will come out, but it will not be pleasenst.
-----------------------------
what is the purpose of killing??
to bring peace??
but Yeshua said taht there can be NO PEACE till He comes.
so he who would kill as a Christian obviously doesnt believe this, so why should I give them any credit to being a Christian?
so what are we trying to accomplicsh?
you don t want to hear that killing is satans tool.
truth hurts, i know.
hey, guys...
use wahtever scripture you feel the need to use to justify killing.
just remeber the same scripture when judgment day comes...
you'll need it then....
you tell Yeshua why YOU thought that it was OK to kill...
good luck...
you'll need it!
also,
interpreting scripture correctly give predictive power..
which means taht I know that this "war on terrorism' cannot be won....
so, you interpret incorrctly, which means that you agree with the govt. that it can be won...
that means that 5-10n years form now, if we are all sitll here, you will still think it can be won and we will still be fighting it.
at what point do you concede that it cant be won and you were wrong....
how many more 0000's must die...
will the light bulb ever go off????
i know that this war cannot be won and feel bad for the blind who believe the govt. and the churches who tell them that it can....
dont blame anyone but yourself for your son or anyone else getting killed in war...take responsiblty and admit that you were wrong and only then will you see the light...
Kurt---I love the odds against us. Since God is for us, who(or how ever many) could possibly be against us? One of us can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight.
Title: Mortgage Fraud
You're right, pud.
Mortgage Elimination Fraud would have been more fitting.
Thanks for pointing that out.
So, moogey only enticed strangers to risk their homes, not his own (if he has one) and not his family and friends?
How nice.
