The Great Health Care Debacle

25. October 2009 by PawBill.

The “ObamaCare” health care debate has turned into one of the greatest debacles of the twenty-first century. There are so many lies and distorted truths being told that it is hard to grasp the real facts. The sad fact is that so many Americans have accepted lying as a life style and even condone the actions of those who tell lies.

No one would deny medical care to someone in need. No one wants to see people suffer needlessly. There is a common sense solution, but the “out of control” executive, legislative and judicial branches of our government and the political parties they represent are only concerned about satisfying elements of society who they can control. This control will guarantee America’s move to a more radical and controlling form of government. But, we have all heard enough about the medical problems of today and the lies being told. Your opinion on this topic probably cannot be changed, and neither can mine!

Think about this. The ultimate medical plan for man (men and women) was established in the beginning, at man’s creation. Eons ago man’s original body was design for centuries of living. In most cases, excluding catastrophic accidents, man’s body was self-healing. Before the time of the flood as recorded in Genesis 6, man’s life expectancy was recorded in hundreds of years. Methuselah had the oldest recorded life span of 969 years as recorded in Genesis 5:27.

At the time of Noah and the flood (Genesis 7:6 recorded Noah as being 600 years old) there was great wickedness and evil on the earth. It is recorded that Sons of God came to earth and had sexual relations with the daughters of men. From these sexual unions came giants: “Heroes of old, men of renown” they were called. With such great evil and wickedness on the earth, God (humor me here, you don’t have to believe in God) shortened man’s life span from 900 +/- years to 120 years. Read the story of Noah and the flood in Genesis 6.

This is evolution at its finest: a genetic change. Perhaps man’s original bodies were able to regenerate failing organs or injured limbs much in the same way certain species of salamanders or lizards can grow a tail or leg that is severed. Think about it. Think about the world’s population if this was now possible as it may have been in the dateless past. It is almost mind-boggling.

Without sin — acts of sexual immorality, gluttony, envy and other human attributes of desire — man could have had a long and productive life. Because of sin and disobedience, man’s life was shortened. Let’s face it; man has created his own health care fiasco by simply rejecting his creator’s commandants regarding healthy living.

We now have generations of “sick” people, and we only have our human nature’s lust and desire to blame. Even with today’s medical knowledge, man cannot live to be one hundred and twenty years of age.

Miracles and healing, God’s medical plan for His followers, are still possible for those who believe and who have relinquished their self will to the Trinity of God. All things are possible for those who love the Lord. If God is calling you, listen and answer his call by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Yes, it sounds like foolishness to those who will perish. For myself, I had rather be thought a fool, than be a fool.

God can heal your body and soul if you will only believe. I am a medical miracle because of Jesus Christ, and I want to tell you about God’s love so that you may experience it for yourself.

What about you? Do you want ObamaCare or do you want God’s Care? The choice is yours. Don’t delay. Choose today!

God is Still in Control

23. October 2009 by PawBill.

Forgive me God, I was momentarily caught up in the political politics of the moment, but I have regained my sanity through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. May I walk in the Spirit the remaining days of my life as I await the return of Jesus Christ!

Although I still have grave concerns about the direction our country is headed and the lies being told as truth by our political leaders and news media, it is important for all to stop and remember just who is in control — The Trinity of God: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.

America’s future direction has already been determined as part of God’s master plan for the ultimte fulfillment of end time prophetic events. God has allowed spiritual forces of evil to be unleashed upon America because of America’s disobedience.

The American people asked God to leave. Some asked out of ignorance and others out of their desire for worldly materialistic things; the gods of materialism, sexual immorality, depravity, and other false religions that cannot speak, hear or talk have been embraced as truth. Man, on his own, will not surrender his will to God’s Holy Spirit. Without God, man has always turned to pursue evil, and this is exactly what has happened to America.

It is no longer possible to recapture the American dream God gave to our founding fathers. For those remaining who have not abandoned God, pray and ask for forgiveness for your complacency and silence. See (1) below for a measure of hope.

Also, as a people who cherish America, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights it is still our duty as patriots to speak out against the ungodly that have been captivated, captured and now enslaved by the evil force of darkness. Socialism, Fascism, Communism and the European Union, the forerunner of the One World Government, are not institutions established by God for good.

More importantly, those who claim Jesus Christ (the Son of the Trinity) as your Lord and Savior and who have surrendered your will to the Holy Spirit should speak as the Spirit directs. Do not remain silent but proclaim with boldness, “Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.”

We are instructed to live our lives to be “salt and light” to a generation of those who have never heard or have never chosen to place their trust in Jesus. See (2) below for an explanation.

Will you stand with God in the days to come or will you stand with Satan? The choice is yours, but your eternal destination is in God’s hands as Satan is already a defeated adversary.

(1) “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV.

(2) “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” Matthew 5:13-15 NKJV.

Glenn Beck: A Voice Crying in the Wilderness

15. October 2009 by PawBill.

Glenn Beck is a voice crying in the wilderness, “The government, the government, the government is made up of Socialists, Fascists and Communists.” Is his opinion right? Apparently, since no one is really holding his feet to the fire with facts to disprove his cries.

President Barrack Hussein Obama told the American people that with his election America would be “fundamentally changed.” He also remarked, “If we wanted to know who he was just look around at the people he surrounded himself with.” Have you looked around? It is a little frightening.

So, just who is telling the truth? The national and local news media, other than Fox News, will not report on any negative aspect of President Obama’s leadership team (CZARS or whatever they are called) or on any of his programs that are not in keeping with America’s Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Our Senators and Representatives do not appear to be overly concerned with anything other than continuing to line their own pockets and those of their backers with “pork-barrel” spending amendments. Why are they not on TV or at least campaigning in their own states promoting a “plan that is good for all Americans?”

Only a minority of the American People has voiced a concern about America’s future direction, and they have been portrayed as extremists and racists by the media. Where are the mothers, fathers and grandparents? Are they writing their representatives?

The truth is there but we have to find it. While the Hollywood crowd of fools and the late night talk show hosts revel in their sanctimonious diatribes, America’s national debt and the future of our children and grandchildren appears bleak. Where are the investigative reporters and news analyst? Are there really two radically opposing sides to every issue? I do not think so, but hey, that is just me.

Unfortunately, there will be no answer forthcoming from our leaders. America can only be saved if its people return to the God of our founding fathers and to a nation of moral values. That will only happen when individuals begin to get their lives in order.

America will soon disappear from prominence. It is the law of the jungle. A nation without God, a soul or a spirit will soon disappear into the night. Read you history. Too bad it is no longer being taught in our public schools and colleges.

I recently wrote my Georgia Senators and Representative. In my closing remarks I ask them the following:

“On a more personal level, I care about the religious belief held by my representatives at all levels of government. A person has the right to his or her own religious views and should not be forced to worship one particular God or god over another; however, they should be willing to publicly acknowledge and share their religious belief.”

“What about you? Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior or do you claim some other god? I would like to know.”

The letter was mailed on July 27, 2009. I have not received a reply so I will just assume they are ashamed of their religious faith or “non-faith”.

I personally would not care if they were atheist, if they represented my values. But again, that is just a typical American talking who would probably be labeled a mean, right wing extremist by today’s media “opinion ‘news’ person.”

What about you? Are you ashamed to stand up for your beliefs? If not, start speaking out. Every voice counts!

Is America in the Bible

13. October 2009 by PawBill.

Is America in the Bible? By name, “No.” By dirty deeds, “YES.”

Although America has done more good than any other country in the world, it is also the most hated. Why? Could it be envy, jealousy, arrogance, and wars we justify or nations we support? Perhaps we are hated because of God blessings. Whatever the reasons, whether they are legitimate or not, things are about to grow worse.

If you have time I would like to encourage you to listen to the sermon my Pastor preached this past Sunday, October 11, 2009. His sermon’s title was, “Is America in the Bible.”

Go to http://www.rfth.org, click on sermons, page down and click on “Is America in the Bible.

Don’t miss out! If it does not give you pause to think about the future of America, I guess nothing will.

I would like to know your opinion.

The Obama Connection

13. October 2009 by PawBill.

They say a prophet is not recognized in his own town so I guess that applies to President Barrack Hussein Obama. While the United States is split over the leadership being provided by our President, the rest of the world rejoices.

President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize honor is but another accolade on his resume of accomplishments. I see it as a positive event as it is a fulfilling of events that will lead to global changes unprecedented in world history. As Henry Kissinger remarked, “Barack Obama is being primed to create a New World Order.”

So what about this New World Order? Have you given it any thought lately? Most probably not unless you are a Bible zealot who believes in the prophesies of the Old and New Testament. You know, the prophesies about the “666” number, the Antichrist, Beast and False Prophet and the end time battle of Armageddon.

“I am one,” so to speak and I find it fascinating to explore world history, biblical history and prophesy. You know, of course, the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. I know it is so because I saw it on the History Channel. What do you believe?

It is fun to joke around, and I enjoy a good joke as well as anyone. But joking aside, the Holy Spirit tells me to get my act together because biblical prophecies are about to become true; much faster than anyone who believes and studies prophesies could have ever imagined. It is even harder for me to imagine what those without God will have to endure once the nukes, earthquakes, comets and meteoroids began to occur.

However, today is about hope for those who have placed their trust and faith in the Trinity of God. But, it is about unspeakable terror and hardships for those who have not.

This is only my opinion of course. The Holy Spirit tells me it is so, and I would love to tell you more if you are interested; for those who think otherwise I do not condemn you. Only the Trinity will offer you what they gave to me. I hope it is offered to you. To find out more, write me at the address below. I would be happy to communicate with you via email. God loves you and so do I.

God’s Plan for America

13. October 2009 by PawBill.

America is in trouble - big trouble that cannot be resolved through civilized conversation. How we got to this point is irrelevant, as no amount of persuasion or discussion will resolve our issues.

Society is divided across racial, religious and political lines. We are living in an age of violence and corruption where “everyone is doing whatever is right in their own eyes.” Our problems are of biblical proportions. Jesus spoke of the coming of lawlessness in the last days and a period when the love for our fellow man would grow cold. Are we truly living in the last days or is history just repeating itself?

You may disagree but I believe America will soon experience a catastrophic series of events that will ultimately lead to the death of millions of people and the destruction of its economic power and position in the world. I call it, God’s Plan for America.

Once His plan is set in motion only those who are destined to survive, will survive. Those who depend on the government for help will be like the huddled masses in the aftermath of Katrina; only no one will be willing or even available to render assistance. Starvation and disease will be rampant and only those capable of defending themselves will be able to survive.

From these catastrophes America will try to rebuild. The strong that survive will show no mercy to those who strived to make others subservient to their wishes and actively tried to destroy America.

Racism will not be a dividing force. The mentally and physically strong of all races will join together to allow, and in some cases condone, the death of those who are felt to be less desirable, i.e., the unfortunate ones who do not know how to survive on their own initiative, and thieves, murders and the drug addicted.

Take a good look around you and tell me what you see. I see a people who no longer fear God or have a respect for God’s creation. If mankind truly feared God, the God of the Bible, they would recognize that civilizations of the past have experienced the same degeneration plunge we are presently experiencing. God provided a solution thousands of years ago, but man in his own self-righteousness will not accept His solution.

Unfortunately, the world has once again rejected the true God of the Universe and has chosen to accept and even participate in every imaginable evil offered by the world and its god. It is not a question of luck as to whether you will be safe in the upcoming events. All are destined for judgment and tribulation through unspeakable and horrific events that wait their appointed time. All, except those who placed their trust in the Trinity of God, will blasphemy God in days to come for the suffering they will endure.

What about you? Do you think God is just a crutch for the mentally deficient? Are your eyes blinded because of your disbelief? One day they will be opened, and your mouth will confess that “Jesus is Lord” whether you want to or not.

Get your head out of the sand and start preparing for your survival; you will need a Bible, friends, water, and food as part of your survival plan. Your first step, however, must be the recognition and acceptance of the Trinity of God.

Time is short! Change is coming! You allowed God to be removed from America. You voted, accepted, and condoned change by your silence or approval (the worship of government and man made gods). Now, prepare to accept the consequences.

I Tried to be Your Friend

6. October 2009 by PawBill.

The words below came to me early one morning many years ago. While I was lying in my bed somewhat asleep, I kept going over and over them in my mind. I finally got up and wrote them down. Why they came to me then, I do not know. And why I recently thought of them again, I do not know. What they mean, I do not know. Who the friend is, I do not know. What the meaning is, I do not know. It is the only “poetic” moment I have ever had although I do have song lines that come to me often.

The words were meant for someone, and they may have been meant for you. Are you lonely, without a friend, discouraged and needing to be loved? If so, Jesus loves you and can give you peace. Seek Him and He will reveal Himself to you.

I Tried to be a Friend*

Paw Bill

–

I tried to be a friend, you know,

But never having had a friend,

Nor never having been a friend,

My naiveté I did show.

–

But life goes on like memories pass,

And though the years have slowly passed,

Thoughts of you bring back the past,

Of times with you I thought would last.

–

But my life was changed by you,

And I’ll be ever grateful to,

The memories that I have of you,

Of times with you I thought might pass.

–

If I could but be a friend,

With teary eyes I’ve often thought,

Why all my life I’ve been distraught,

Of why no one will be my friend.

–

Life alone I’ve always lived,

And now my life is nearing end,

Who knows what might have been,

If only I had been a friend,

If only I had, had a friend,

I tried to be a your friend, you know.

*Unedited version as remembered.
