Be not dismayed,

for I am your God."

Isaiah 41:10

Mind Control.  Usurping Parental Rights: “We all need to wake up and realize how much indoctrination is going on in our public schools, including the promotion of man-made global warming, Darwinism, LGBT affirmation, population control, feminism, reproductive ‘choice’ and other social and political issues.” .... A recent survey revealed the drastic decline in U.S. literacy: 21 to 23 percent, or some 40 to 44 million of the 191 million adults in the United States, demonstrated incompetence in the lowest level of reading, writing, and mathematical skill.” See No Room for God: Reviving the 'Science' of 'Re-education'

Revolution.  The New, Improved Axis of Jihad: "Indicators and warnings continue to grow concerning the resurgence of an 'Axis of Jihad' comprised of Iran, Hizballah, and al-Qa'eda. This axis is not new: its three actors, both national and sub-national, have been working together in an operational terror alliance for over two decades. ... The bond is as old as Islam, and includes the commitment to jihad [war in the name of Islam] and Islamic Shariah law; the threat is to all free and democratic societies which stand in the way of global Islamic government and the forcible application of Islamic Shariah Law....

      "The Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, reminded the 2012 presidential election crowds of the essential oneness of the Islamic creed when he recited the Brotherhood's motto to their roars of approval: ~ Allah is our objective. ~ The Prophet is our guide. ~ The Qur'an is our law. ~ Jihad is our way. And dying in the way of Allah our highest aspiration..." See The Muslim Brotherhood

Revolution.  Swedish Multiculturalism Goes Awry: "Sweden is the best Islamic State.' ...Hundreds of Muslim immigrants have rampaged through parts of the Swedish capital of Stockholm, torching cars and buses, setting fires, and hurling rocks at police. The unrest -- a predictable consequence of Sweden's failed model of multiculturalism... is an ominous sign of things to come. ...

     "On May 19, Muslim youths initiated a riot in Husby, a heavily Muslim suburb in the western part of Stockholm where more than 80% of the residents originate from Africa and the Middle East. At least 100 masked Muslim youths set fire to cars and buildings, smashed windows, vandalized property and hurled rocks and bottles at police....

    "The riots quickly spread to at least 15 other parts of Stockholm.... After two nights of spiraling violence, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt appealed for calm, condemning the riots as hooliganism. But his plea... failed to prevent more nights of unrest, during which Muslim youth set fire to two schools, a police station, a restaurant, and a cultural center, and burned more than 50 cars and buses....

     "Muslim immigration to Sweden has been fostered by open-door asylum policies that are among the most generous in the world. ... At the same time, Muslim immigrants are becoming increasing assertive in demanding special rights and privileges for Islam in Sweden." See A Taste for Blood: Human nature without a moral conscience!

Corrupt Economics.  World Bank Insider Blows Whistle on Corruption, Federal Reserve: "A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes.... Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired....

     "At the heart of the network, Hudes said, are 147 financial institutions and central banks — especially the Federal Reserve, which was created by Congress but is owned by essentially a cartel of private banks. ... The Fed...is at the very center of the network and the coverup....The shadowy but immensely powerful Bank for International Settlements serves as 'the club of these private central bankers.'” See The Hidden Control of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)

Religion.  Pope Francis’ Sermon Sparks Debate: ‘Even the Atheists’ Have Been Redeemed ‘With the Blood of Christ’: "Atheist activists have long touted the notion that one doesn’t have to be religious to be considered a 'good' person. On Wednesday, non-believers’ claims were given some credence when Pope Francis endorsed this view during Mass. ...He also said that 'even the atheists' have been redeemed 'with the blood of Christ.' ...

     "Was he saying that non-believers, too, will inherit salvation? Or was he speaking more generally to the fact that all of humanity was saved by Jesus Christ’s actions on the cross? ...

      "By closing others out, Francis warned that believers do harm and cause unnecessary division and war. The push to do good, he claims, is in every individual’s heart and has been ingrained in mankind by the Almighty. As for redemption, the pope went on to make it clear that everyone — even atheists — has been considered and redeemed by the Lord.

      "Here’s what he said: 'The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class! We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all! ...And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace....

     "The very definition of redemption is, “to buy or pay off; clear by payment,” thus it appears he is speaking here about sin and goodness — issues pertaining to Christ’s crucifixion. ... Francis calls everyone, regardless of religious views, to do good and to find common ground."

Repeated:  Pope Urges More Dialogue With Islam: "Pope Francis urged the West on Friday to intensify dialogue with Islam and appealed to the world to do more to combat poverty and protect the environment...

      "He urged them to help keep religion central in public life and promote inter-religious dialogue as a catalyst for efforts to build peace. 'In this work (peace building), the role of religion is fundamental. ...it is not possible to establish true links with God while ignoring other people. Hence it is important to intensify dialogue among the various religions, and I am thinking particularly of dialogue with Islam.' ...

      "Dialogue, he said, 'should help to build bridges connecting all people....'" 

Mainstream Media.  7 Things About The Mainstream Media that They Do Not Want You to Know: "Have you ever wondered who controls the mainstream media? ...The average American watches 153 hours of television a month, and we also spend countless hours watching movies, playing video games, listening to music, reading books and surfing the Internet. If someone could control the production of all of that media, that would make them immensely powerful. They would literally be in a position to tell people what to think. Well, what if I told you that there are just six enormous media conglomerates that combine to produce about 90 percent of all the media that Americans consume. Would that alarm you? It should..."  See The Global Media Censors

Secretive Surveillance.  Xbox One: Constantly Listening To Conversations: "...Microsoft’s next generation gaming console, the Xbox One... carries a device that will be ‘constantly listening’ to gamer’s conversations. During a PR move designed to make the Xbox One appear more attractive, Microsoft’s hardware program manager, John Link, let slip that a component bundled with the console, the Kinect, will contain a microphone that never turns off." See George Orwell's 1984

"Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed for the Lord with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

When enemy forces threatened to attack God's people, [King] Jehoshaphat simply turned His eyes and heart to His faithful Lord and expressed his faith:

“O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? ...we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, BUT OUR EYES ARE UPON YOU." 2 Chronicles 20:6, 12
