When Government and its People Reject God

Ever since our government determined to put a large wedge between church and state, they have continually become more demonic and depraved. Always remember that the word “secular” is a nice word (euphemism) for “atheist.”

Friends, every time you push God out, something else will come rushing in. It won’t be something good or lasting. It will be deceptive, cunning, wicked and destructive.

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12; 16:25.

In 1962 our federal government decided to take prayer out of schools. In 1968 our federal government decided that teaching creationism in public schools was advancing religion. In 1970 our federal government decided it would support abortion. This is just 3 factors. I am sure we can name many other ways our government has chosen the slippery slope. The statistics tell the rest of the story.

Psalm 33 (ESV)

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
    he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
    the plans of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!

Let’s be more specific these days. We can see very clearly that when a nation rejects God the people suffer. The people choose carnal pleasure and abandon the principles of family and marriage. The foundation of civilization is the family. When the family, as God defined it is destroyed, the nation will eventually be destroyed.

Listen to the prophetic word of Hosea regarding the destruction of a nation who forgets and turns away from God.

Hosea 4 (ESV)

Hear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel,
    for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,
    and no knowledge of God in the land;
2 there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
    they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3 Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish,
and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens,
    and even the fish of the sea are taken away.

4 Yet let no one contend, and let none accuse, for with you is my contention, O priest.
5 You shall stumble by day;  the prophet also shall stumble with you by night;
    and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge,
    I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
    I also will forget your children.

7 The more they increased, the more they sinned against me;
    I will change their glory into shame.
8 They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.
9 And it shall be like people, like priest;  I will punish them for their ways
    and repay them for their deeds.
10 They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the whore, but not multiply,
because they have forsaken the Lord to cherish 11 whoredom, wine, and new wine,
    which take away the understanding.
12 My people inquire of a piece of wood, and their walking staff gives them oracles.
For a spirit of whoredom has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the whore.
13 They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore, and your brides commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore,
    nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.

Let’s humble ourselves and turn back to the God of the Bible.

Forgive us Lord. We have learned what happens when we forsake You. We repent of our foolish ways and turn back to you. We invite the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, Yehovah, the Great I AM to be present and powerful and exalted in our nation and over our nation in Yeshua’s mighty name!

HalleluYah!!

Who Rules the Swamp?

January 8, 2021

Last night the Lord stirred me to read Psalm 146.

1 Praise the Lord.   Praise the Lord, my soul.

2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. 6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free, 8   the Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10 The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.  Praise the Lord.

Then, this morning He said to me,

“My children always remember who rules the swamp. This may surprise you but I am the ‘Chief Alligator’ over the swamp and in the swamp. The earth is ‘My footstool!’

“I gave you a very simple means by which to discern good from evil. There are good trees and bad trees and you will know them by their fruit. So also, there are good and bad alligators in the swamp of the world. The dragon, the prince of the air has been cast out and corrupts whatever he occupies. Adam decided he wanted to learn good from evil. The swam is a laboratory of learning. There are good and bad alligators in this classroom of learning. You will know them by their fruit.”

“My children, do not expect to be in a swamp without alligators. This is your classroom. This is your learning- this is your test! Do you desire good or evil? Choose who you will serve! Continue the battle! Don’t expect one man to rise up to defeat the evil in the swamp until I come.”

“Trump is not a savior. Turn your hearts and minds and eyes to Me. I am the Chief Alligator!”

“Must I remove a man so your eyes will turn to Me?”            Selah

blessings, Ty Lamb

Biblical Proportions Require Biblical Solutions

We are living in the year 2020 or shall we say 20/20 and we are seeing things taking place with crystal clarity. The Lord told me and many others this would be the case. The Lord can and does use strange things like idioms in our own language to get our attention.

In this season, we are learning how important politics is to the climate and conditions of our daily life, and in the case of the US, how politics affects the entire world. Political leadership is crucial because there is a trickle down effect in the spirit realm that spreads far and wide. The leader opens the door in the spirit world to allow either blessings or curses to flow into the land. We’ve learned that in a democratic republic the people, including the uneducated and uninformed, can actually vote for their own blessing or demise by the leadership they choose. It causes me to reflect on how King Saul was the people’s choice (1 Sam 8:19-21). It didn’t go so well. Hindsight tells us that we never should have asked the Lord for an “earthly” king. But, here we are 3000 years later and nothing is new under the sun.

Naturally, the more depraved a nation becomes due to unaddressed social ills, the more likely people will make depraved choices. In time, the depraved will overtake the majority thus voting their own destruction. It doesn’t even require an act of God! Like blind sheep, people will drive themselves over a cliff! The consequences of entitlement mindset will be likened to an animal that finally dies because of an infestation of parasites.

The God of the Bible is more than a personal pocket God. He is the Supreme God of the Universe who also judges the nations of the earth.

Moreover, we are making a detrimental mistake by looking to politics to solve our present crisis and dilemmas. Our nation has deviated so far and so long from our God given identity and purpose that money and political and social engineering cannot fix. The level of depravity has reached its limit. God knows that a people can become so depraved and carnally minded that they are beyond the hope of redemption. This is why nations fall into devastation and destruction.

As we have learned from scripture in Luke chapter 15, verse 16, that we can take an American idiom saying, “living high on the hog” will actually take you there, eating pig slop in a pigpen. Sometimes it is only there where reality hits us square in the nose that we can humble ourselves and cry out to God. The fear of ‘God-sized consequences’ leads to wisdom (Proverbs 1:7).

Our only hope is a massive radical movement of the majority, top down from the highest to the lowest, men, women and children, to humble ourselves, get on our faces and cry out, to confess and repent of our sin, and to dedicate ourselves to permanent lifelong fundamental change and radical sacrificial devotion to God. We need the Spirit of God to manifest this movement. We learn over and over from the Bible that it is when the people cry out of desperation, it arouses the Spirit of God to act. Here are just a few examples-Judges 10:10, 2 Chronicles 7:14; 20:9, Psalm 130, Matthew 15:22.

Physically getting on our knees is a gesture of sincerity and desperation. The more desperate we get, the more we are willing to do things like this. This gets God’s attention because we are more likely to make lasting changes.

Personally, and frankly, I sometimes believe it’s too late. Honestly, most of the time. Our minds and flesh have become too indoctrinated and set on having a love of pleasure rather than a love for God and the things God loves. Thankfully, there are others who pick me up and still hold on to the hope of a great reprieve from certain judgment. Thank you so very much for standing firm and holding on to the hope of a mighty move of God in these last days. Bless you!

Four More Years- How Will You Maximize the Trump Era?

This is a critical question for every one of us. God is listening…

The most important question we should be dealing with at this time in history is-

What will I do with four more years? What steps can I take and what plan of action can I implement to maximize four more years of the Trump administration era should the Lord grant them to us? You need to know, and God wants to hear about it? God is waiting to supernaturally assist you in an action plan.

Understanding the time we are living in is important. This can give you greater urgency and motivation. We need to weigh the consequences if we choose to do nothing. We know what the Bible says about the last days and where we are in it. The church is divided into two basic camps- the book of Revelation was largely fulfilled in 70 AD and there is no future antichrist figure (preterism) OR those who believe there was a near partial fulfillment of the book of Revelation in 70 AD, but there awaits a future time of global fulfillment. Obviously, I am of the 2nd camp. I believe there are too many signs to ignore, but we will not go into them here.

I strongly believe the “Last Days” scenario is developing right before our very eyes. As the two political party platforms contrast their polarized views we can anticipate the consequences. The case is quite clear, if the “liberal, progressive, socialist left” gains control of the White House, we will see the sun begin to set on Christianity in America.

We need to ask ourselves and search our hearts, “What will I accomplish in the next 4 years under the Trump administration should the Lord grant them to us? Here are some thoughts to help you make your personal list of objectives. To ask the Lord for 4 more years of Trump-

  1. is to give the church and its missionaries 4 more years to get the gospel out there to the far reaches of the earth with less duress so everyone can hear the gospel. What will I do to encourage, help support and expand that effort?
  2. It gives me 4 more years to minister to my family so all my children and grandchildren know the truth. What can I do to promote the importance of family bonding and cohesiveness? What can I do to reduce divorce and marital strife? How do I teach my children the importance of the biblically defined family unit to promote a healthy society?
  3. It gives us 4 more years of Christian freedom to pray and hope and prepare for a great harvest revival of these last days. How an I prepare myself to be a useful instrument for evangelism, discipleship and “being the church?”
  4. It gives us 4 more years to have the muzzle of the preacher loosened so the people can hear and receive the truth of the gospel without fear of reprisal. What can I do to encourage my pastor and other ministers to stop compromising and to preach the truth in love without fear?
  5. It gives us 4 more years to strengthen the “Christian” stronghold of America in the world. If America can be seen as a large platform on the earth to preach, teach and evangelize the world, what can I do to strengthen this platform? Like a table, this platform has legs underneath it that the enemy has been working to weaken and break- a) finances- sacrificial giving with accountability and stewardship, b) government freedom, c) active volunteerism with churches and ministries working together, d) accurate media exposure and promotion.
  6. It gives us 4 more years to raise up Christian believers to position themselves in the influential cultural institutions of the land and to teach the biblical worldview to the next generation. Consider the following areas of cultural influence: a) Religion. b) Family/Home. c) Government. d) Media. e) Education. f) Business/Marketplace. g) Arts and Entertainment. Can you define where you can influence these areas? What would your plan be to begin to affect change and transformation of your neighborhood, community, city, state, region?
  7. It gives us 4 more years for the US to re-establish national sovereignty and to decrease our dependency on other nations. What can you do to increase your devotion to the American free enterprise system? How can you support local businesses and American made products?
  8. It gives the USA 4 more years to complete the border wall with Mexico to better control illegal immigration and drug and human trafficking. What can you do to improve the immigration process and make sure it is legal and beneficial to America? What can we do to reduce the immigration of anti-American Muslim extremists? What can you do to help support the border wall construction effort?

Let us pray that we are good stewards of these next 4 years that the Lord might grant us! Will you be taking some time and write down your thoughts on these subjects and set some goals and make some plans for what we will do for these next 4 years?

I sure hope you will! If you need help, please reach out to us.

The Christian and Our Role in Government

The earth is moving from freedom to bondage at the hand of man’s own invention.

Question- Why are so many Christians charged up about politics these days?

My answer- Because politics is extremely important as government stewards the laws and economies of people through which people can be free or enslaved, live or die. When life and freedom is threatened, people are forced out of their “me culture” to defend the right to live as free people. In the case of the Christian, we have a sacred duty to live out the teachings of the Bible. It requires freedom to do that- freedom to believe and worship the God of your choosing; the freedom of speech to be able to share what you believe with others; the freedom to shape culture in a way that people can be safe and to prosper; the freedom to bear arms to defend your family and your freedoms and way of life from tyrannical government; the freedom to vote so we can choose leaders that are in agreement with what we believe. This then demands faith to respond with civic responsibility.
It can be historically demonstrated that there is a “force” or a nature in the human experience that finds it way in the minds of men that tends:

1) to exalt oneself above others

2) it desires to micro-manage people

3) to compete with other entities/governments for supremacy

4) to conquest other nations and peoples for control of natural resources and establish dominance- craves power and wealth

5) to put down threats from other nations

6) to enslave and exploit people to do the will and purposes of government

7) to control what people believe and how they should live because the state is central and worthy of worship

8) exaltation of self to world historical prominence

We can see that this “nature” resurfaces and repeats itself through time. From a biblical worldview, this manipulative force carries the earmarks of satan himself who is the spirit of the antichrist. We may as well say it- Satan and his demons have the ability to sway and manipulate the minds of men to carry out his schemes. Mankind is creating the very technology infrastructures that will eventually be used for their own bondage.

As believers in Bible centered faith and ideology, we have a mandate and duty to resist these governmental movements because they always result in fascism, oppression, dictatorship, genocide and the enslavement of people in a antichrist, atheistic regime. A global system would have no accountability to be other than the ultimate end of this ideology. The entire earth would become controlled and enslaved with no escape.

By now, Mankind should learn that secular humanistic atheistic institutions of man are incapable of sustaining power and control of people and governments without becoming corrupt. This has been demonstrated all around the world throughout history. The Christian enforces that God (Jesus Christ) is the Supreme head and must be the center of life, public and private. This gives permission for His divine character to permeate the hearts, minds and wills of the peoples which promote righteousness, justice, freedom, love, joy, peace, harmony, good will, blessing and the favor of God. Please read Deuteronomy 28.

Again I will state that because of the fallen nature of man, our faith must be lived out with civic governmental responsibility. We will continue to promote these worthy goals until we are taken and then return with Him in His glory and establishment of His kingdom on the earth. We are in training to rule and reign with Yeshua our Messiah in the earth.

Amen
