PREPARE FOR WAR
JOEL 3:9

Rouse the mighty men and warriors. Let all the men of war advance and attack!!
JOEL 3:10

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

INVASION OF JAPAN -
After victory over Europe was declared 8 May 1945, many US troops headed towards Japan, joining ranks with those fighting in the Pacific. An impending invasion of Japan was looming when President Harry Truman gave the order to drop the atomic bombs in August of 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan which led to the end of the war and VJ Day, 15 August, 1945, with a formal signing treaty of surrender aboard the USS Missouri, 2 September, 1945.
After interviewing over 1000 military veterans across North America the past 20 years, I’ve learned a lot about the history of war.
Throughout my many interviews with American World War II veterans who served in the Pacific, I learned of the impending invasion of Japan, which, was not common knowledge amongst most Americans back then because it wasn’t reported.
Had we not dropped the atomic bombs a gigantic invading force numbering in the millions was amassing in the waters off the Japanese coastline.
I was told every man, woman and child, armed with shovels, rakes, plowshares, knives, and anything else they could get their hands on and turn into a weapon we’re preparing to meet the enemy resistance at any and all costs. It was estimated the casualties would’ve mounted in the millions had the invasion been launched.
Today, over 75 years later in 2020,and thousands of miles away, we are living in a time such as this. An impending invasion is looming overhead and we are the instigators.
FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS -
Folks some can’t wait to say the word “pandemic.” We are not in a global pandemic, we are in a global takeover!!!
Although we fight a spiritual enemy (Ephesians 6), there are things in the natural which must also be done. The Bible calls righteousness a weapon.
II CORINTHIANS 6:7
Berean Study Bible
“In truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left.”
Ephesians 6:14
King James Bible
“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.”
We are warriors of righteousness. My prayer is that God’s truth and righteousness will prevail in our land.
It’s time folks. It’s time to stand up and fight. It is time to beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears. We sing the song that we are soldiers in the army of the Lord. War implies an enemy. An enemy, seen or unseen, implies resistance!!
JAMES 4:7
King James Bible
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
II PETER 5:8,9
New King James Bible
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
David defied (withstood, resisted, confronted, dared, challenged to do something considered impossible) the mighty warrior, Goliath and defeated him against all odds. With a mere slingshot and polished round stone, the ruddy haired youth brought down the mighty Philistine, Goliath, with one shot.
This is all about control. It has nothing to do with a virus or protecting your health. The Democrats are spinning out of control. They can’t successfully rig an election so they’re doing what they can to continue to exert some type of control over you.
A prime example of this was Nazi Germany during World War II. Need I say anymore? In fact an enemy can only do what you allow them to do. That’s where they garner their usurped power. Mixed with fear, fear mongering and false news reporting, they’ve got you!! They know they’ve got you.
Adolf Hitler was the head of the Democratic Socialist party. His goal was to take over the whole world. 75 years later he just might succeed if we don’t do anything about it. All these Democratic governors are acting like little Hitler‘s. They’re like kids in a candy store and they can’t stop what they’re doing because they are control happy.
CAUTION: THE WORMS ARE COMING!!
This is about our Constitution, protecting our rights and freedoms. This is about the Bible!! The devil’s time is short and he’s not going down without a fight.
We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy is to prolong a crisis. This crisis isn’t going away until we do something about it. I’d rather die a martyr than live a lie.
MARK 8:35
King James Bible
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it
“Not afraid to stand and fight. Cast out demons left and right. Strong in battle strong in prayer. Tell Satan to get out of here. Sound off, 1, 2; sound off, 3, 4; sound off 1, 2, 3, 4; Jesus is Lord!!”
Folks we have our marching orders. No more acquiescing!!
“Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war. With the cross of Jesus, going on before.”
