Obama = Pharaoh = Slavery

I received this in my email today and I thought that it was BRILLIANT!

Wake UP Americans!

Don't let this happen to "We The People!"

I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader and not one of the sheep. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is. It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.



RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE -STIMULUS SERMON Gen 47:13-27 Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us?

....(reading)...

Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray.... So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt, and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock -their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year..

But the famine wasn't over, was it?So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain. What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master? Yes.

But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for His people, just as always has! They didn't end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions!But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one. We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth "once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"?

Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.

Bow with me in prayer, if you will.

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone.We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day." And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters.Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government.

In God We Trust...

Jerry Falwell . . . . .

I think that it is sad the way that some are rejoicing over this man's death.

I do not believe that it is my place to judge anyone for their beliefs or choice of lifestyle.

It is also not my place, or the place of others, to judge those who DO think it is their place to pass judgement.

Mr. Falwell did appear to pass judgement on some people and their lifestyles. Obviously I believe that this is wrong, nevertheless, it is Still Not My Place, or the place of others, to pass judgement on Mr. Falwell. Judgement is to be left to God and God alone.

I believe in the loving, caring, and forgiving God.

I believe that God wants me to love and show compassion to all of his children, even if I personally disagree with their beliefs or lifestyles.

Mr. Falwell has family who loves him. Being a Christian or just a decent human being should demand that you show love and compassion to the man and especially his grieving family regardless of how much you might have disagreed with his views.

Lord and Savior.

Happy Easter To All

On this day before Easter I would like to reflect on the Holiday itself, as well as on Christianity in general in our Country today.

I am thankful for the gift of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Because of His sacrifice, I can go on with my life knowing that my sins are forgiven. It is also because of His sacrifice that I strive each day to be a kinder person, a more loving person, a more giving person, a more tolerant person, a more forgiving person, a non-judgemental person, . . .A Better Person.

I do believe in "Separation of Church & State." That being said, I do NOT Ever want to see my children or the children of anyone else punished for saying a prayer privately to themselves in school, no matter the religion. I believe that it is our right to pray or not pray as we choose, when we choose and where we choose.

I do believe in the "Live-And-Let-Live" idea. It is not my place to judge anyone for the way that they live their lives, No matter how it may conflict with my own moral beliefs. I believe that it is my duty as a Christian to care for everyone equally, no matter their lifestyle. However, I also believe that it is my duty to speak up and let my own beliefs about Morality be known.

I believe that a major problem in our country today is the fact that we ARE straying away from Morality and Family Values. As time goes by, it would seem that we are more and more willing to accept immoral things in our daily lives. . . .Such as Extreme Sex & Violence on TV, pornography Everywhere, children showing disrespect to Everyone.

It would appear that many people in America are more worried about what is "Politically Correct" rather than what is "Morally Justified." This is an Especially Great Concern of mine where the "Leaders of our Country" are concerned. I believe that by trying to be "Politically Correct" all the time, our elected officials have let us down. They would do far better for this country if they were to vote with their hearts and listen to the will of the people who put them in office, rather than worrying so much about what is "Politically Correct" and what Might cost them votes in the Next election. They should do what they believe to be Moral & Right and Not Ever Worry about what the Next Election will hold for them.
