Audio Link

Hear perspectives from two great patriots-Col. Danny McKnight (Ret.) US Army and USMC John Bernard(Ret.). Danny McKnight's experience with leading his troops in Somalia's Black Hawk Down incident as well as John Bernard's deep loss for his son Joshua Bernard (KIA Afghanistan '09) leads us into a hard look at the war on terror.  Also hear perspective of Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt and the parallel spiritual warfare raging.  DADT is an issue they see of outmost importance in defending the rights and abilities of our soldiers to fight well in this world full of turmoil where we as a nation demand the best.  The same applies to us--citizens.  Failing our military is ultimatelly failing to defend our country as the repercussions are really of importance to every family today.



War On Terror With Jared Loughner, Daniel and Mariane Pearl, Angelina Jolie and A Mighty Heart-- Who Wins? Who Knows

For He Has Not Given Us A Spirit of Fear But of Power, Love and A Sound Mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

The latest incident to strike terror in the hearts of many, the shootings of Jared Loughner, is another example of a very disturbed, angry individual filled with evil intent and who want others to feel pain through destruction and mayhem.  There are many like him in this world, many which doesn't make it on the news. 

I heard of one mother a long time ago, recalling how her sweet kind son was walking by the River Thames in England and was killed for a pitiful amount.  But in retrospect, she said evil was everywhere and it was lurking there in the thief who robbed her son of his life for a few measly sum of money.  See, that is what evil does-- it kills, steals and destroys.

Terrorism is another tool of evil and it strikes fear to millions around the world.  After watching the movie "A Mighty Heart" about Mariane Pearl (portrayed by Angelina Jolie) and Daniel Pearl which was very painful,  you saw hope alive in their child named Adam.  What a fitting name for this child of the future--given the name of the first man that God made.  Wouldn't it be awesome if mankind would learn from his past and realize without God's own Son in his heart--true peace would be impossible?

It is ironic that those who killed Daniel Pearl sought to destroy and strike fear but in reality they unleashed light in this dark world as one can see in the many affected--his wife, Mariane and even a celebrity such as Angelina Jolie.  It's a story many of these evil ones re-create throughout history--in their attempt to change history and win.  Again another Daniel, a Jew, showed the light of truth for so many and left a legacy of hope for us all.

And in this world full of terror--the question of who wins is really simple--it's the ones who know...There is a great tool for good throughout this world in the Holy Scriptures that lends witness to the only One who can bring peace.  And how amazing that God has made it available for many the world over.

One of our guest on City On A Hill Radio Show, John Bernard, who lost his only son-- Lance Cpl Joshua Bernard-- knows. And he gives insight on where help comes from in his latest blog "Prophetic Fairy Tales or Inconvenient Corroboration":

"Many in this country are heading for a cross road; a place where a decision will have to be made. On the one hand, there has been a stubborn if not self-destructive resistance to Biblical teaching and an almost zealous effort to expunge all written commentary, history and remnant of Biblical teaching from the national psyche. After all; academia has succeeded in convincing the majority of the population that the very phrase 'separation of church and state' exists in the writings of the US Constitution…It doesn't.

On the other hand, those of us who are looking, see an ever mounting pile of evidence to suggest that much of what was spoken of in the books of Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew and Revelation may be closer to coming to fruition than at any point in human history."

--There is much wisdom from what John Bernard says.  He knows from experience the pain of losing someone, his most precious son but he also knows-- he and Joshua wins.  Study the Holy Scriptures for yourself and see who wins forever.

Hosea 6:3

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD

 John 4:21-26

 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

The Military--Where Does The Warrior's Help Come From

Hear an update from John Bernard on the war on terror. We can not appreciate our military families enough and his family is one who gave their best and so should all of us. There is no excuse for not being informed--we owe it as part of our duty as co-laborers in the fight to keep this nation truly free from tyranny.  Pastor Matt Smith of Barabbas Road Church joins him as they help the warrior with the battles they and their families face.  Men of valor throughout history had to face to find the truth to survive---so can you.  Hear some moving perspectives that gives hope to mankind and unites people like Mosab Hassan Yousef (son of a Hamas founder) with the Joshua Bernards of this world.  Click on picture to hear interview.  Go to podsite link on right if you wish to pass it on to friends with smartphones and there is an app for this on itunes.

Mosab Hassan Yousef-Don't Let Him Be Deported--Why destroy an asset in the prevention of a repeat of 9/11

Please read our earlier articles on this son of a Hamas Founder, Mosab Hassan Yousef, who met his Savior and freed him from hate which has been prevalent in the middle east.  This young man is a testimony to how God's grace can effect a change no peace plan by any government can bring.  Indeed, he is a prime example of what we want to see happen in the minds and culture of the middle east--a respect for life.  The transformation everyone has been seeking is found in this young man and yet this administration instead of embracing and proclaiming the good news from such a world changing attitude-maybe sending him back and to his death.

I am sorry Mosab Hassan Yousef has seen the not so good side of America.  It is not everywhere but it is there amongs those who maybe blinded to the truth in front of them.    I daresay those trying to deport him are following the nth letter of the law--they think to the best of their ability--but they forgot the spirit of the law.  The same mindset has sprung up in many areas of our government where the Original Intent has been overlooked. 

But there is hope because many  Americans who truly want to do what is right as they truly love this land of the free-home of the brave will be writing to Homeland Security and asking that deportation hearing be cancelled.  I pray those in the Department of Homeland Security will see the truth for I believe they too, really love their country, their families.  They just need a little help to realize the truth that having such a man is an asset, an incredible resource and a gift from God in this fight on the war on terror.  I know 9/11 seems distant but in an instant the pain can come again if we are not vigilant and I dare say there is hope because bottom line those in Homeland Security seeks to truly do just that--keep our Homeland--our families, our children-- safe.   

I pray they will see they must use everything they can to prevent a repeat of the hell on earth suffered by many on 9/11 and that Mosab Hassan Yousef, will be seen as indeed the very help they can not afford to turn away!  A reminder of that event--click here.  Here is a link to an interview with him by Jewish Television.

Please write to request the cancellation of the deportation hearing in San Diego scheduled for June 30th.   Contact:  Kerri Calcador, Senior Attorney U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement 880 Front St. Suite 224, San Diego, CA 92101.

Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow.  Again He has shown this is his nation which when his foundations are followed--men can indeed be free.  What an awesome testimony the deportation hearing of Yousef is about our awesome God.  Watch video on this:

Thank you Lord!!!

Mosab Hassan Yousef, Son of Hamas now Freed Indeed by the Savior

Video Link to his proclamation of Jesus Christ where true peace comes from on Jewish News Television.

A step of faith. How much is a bible worth? Many the world over would burn it to ashes. Many the world over doesn't even know it exist. But this book in the hand of the very lost and hurting can open a floodgate of unstoppable hope for hurting people even in the middle east. These are perilous and dark times. But this is when the light shines the brightest. Shedding of blood will never stop until the enemy recognizes who the true enemy is--it is not man but the father of lies who manipulates men and nations. Hear the story of two young man's heart filled with passion for Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Their zeal to speak the truth about their Savior can make the difference the enemy doesn't want this nation to see. The war on terror is really not just a physical battle but a heavenly one as well. Let us speak the truth and proclaim it while at the same time recognizing where our true help comes from and just like the Founding Fathers the battle was won by being first on their knees. Hear an interview with Matt Smith, pastor of Son of Hamas and the road he walks along with Joseph as they proclaim to the world who the true Savior is.

Michael Behenna--A Soldier's Story We The People Must Share

To America, Land of the Free, Home of the Brave-

Please hear a true soldier's story--a sign of the times.  A patriotic young man joins to defend his nation but due to withheld evidence is deemed worthy of imprisonment for 25 years for killing an Al Qaedo operative.  It has a tinge of similarity to the Ft Hood incident in that in an instant, a mistake--bad judgment call, has done a disservice to our young Freedom Fighter rendering a decision that would take away his young life.  In the case of the FT Hood incident there was and still is political correctness and most America sees through the report.  In Michael Behenna's case--it can still be redeemed--he still lives and breathes but we have taken away so much from this young man.  I pray his story will be heard by all and that " we the people" would determine to truly make this a cause worth fighting for.  The dead at Ft Hood will never rise again but Michael has a chance but it comes only with your help.  Listen and make a difference, after all if he's not worth fighting for--I ask are you? Please listen to his story and you be the judge click here--   Audio Link--to 2-21-10 Michael Behenna.  Please visit his website:  defendmichael.com

Here is his address:

Michael Behenna  #87503

Fort Leavenworth, KS  66027-2304

A kind letter would mean so much! 

Video of Moslem Saying The Message of Ft. Hood Shooter

The Lord gave me this passage on Sat. 10-3-09--it is very encouraging for He is with us and is something to remember in these times--

Jeremiah 50:34--Yet their Redeemer is strong;
       the LORD Almighty is his name.
       He will vigorously defend their cause 
       so that he may bring rest to their land...

We do have to pray for these who live in darkness

From the video:"...The message that should be taken from yesterday in Ft. Hood where 12 American soldiers were killed-this war that America begged for, they instigated and they started will not be simply fought in Moslem soil, Moslem lands-.....-this war will be fought on American soil....this is what the attacker wanted you to understand..."

  More to read and please pray over these things also:

Fight for your right while this is still your country:  "This is not my opinion; federal law enforcement confirms there exists a network of wealthy Islamic organizations within the U.S. dedicated to supporting terrorist groups and subverting our constitutional government."  Read this other WND article also.

On 9/11 they came in large planes--this time around they think they have found a better way.  Americans can't afford to be asleep on this issue.  We know not all  mean us harm but neither can we deny that those that do are very devout and very determined to use any weapons they can and even their very own family is not safe.  

The story of Rifqa Bary (link to report from former FBI on flawed report) a former Moslem who knows the truth and the repercussions that can come even from her own family needs to also be held by us in prayer. Due to political correctness her life now hangs in the balance.  Hear one of our podcast of an interview with a missionary who says honor killing is commonplace and yet we doubt Rifqa's fears. This is another warning--can we really afford to look the other way when signs are there?  Some people did in the case of Maj Hasan, and the price was paid with so many lives whose breath and dreams have been taken away because of the power of "one" sincerely wrong.  To their children, their mothers and fathers, their spouses, their best friends, their families and many in this nation-- those that died were very important people.   It is easy for some to overlook this but to many citizens of this great nation and those whose grief and pain we can only imagine--they wish someone had not looked the other way.

I pray for supernatural wisdom and discernment for our leaders and as in the days of the Foundation of this nation--I pray for boldness to seek the truth for all of us.  The problems were great too at that time and was insurmountable.  As I heard it said--a betting man would not have bet on US but because we serve Jehovah-God what is impossible with men is possible with Him.  He blessed America then--supernaturally--so don't forget to pray as well as act.  Thank you
