My Election Day Prayer for America

Chris Jacobson

2 Chr 7:14GAME DAY! My Election Day prayer. Blessings to you all!

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are Lord of all creation, the one and only true living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. You know everything from beginning to end before it happens. There is nothing You do not know. And You are everywhere at once. You are not penned in by time or space. And You are all-powerful. There is no act too small or too great for You to accomplish, in an instant, by Your Will, by Your Word. If You Will it to be so, so it is. There is no one, no thing that can stand in Your way.

We are Your children, born again of the Spirit, reconciled to You through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, dying in our place, taking the punishment we deserve and giving us instead that which we do not deserve – eternal life in heaven, in fellowship with You forever.

We stand convicted of transgressing Your Holy Law. We have removed You from Your rightful place as the top priority in our lives to chase after our selfish indulgences. We’re sorry for our personal sins and the collective sins of our nation that have brought us to this point of judgment. We bring these sins before You and confess them openly to You. We ask You to reconcile us back to Yourself, and we pray for Your mercy, grace and forgiveness.

It is with great sadness that we observe the intentional destruction of our once great nation by infiltrators from within, but we also acknowledge that it took this depth of evil to wake us up from our comfort, to shake us off our foundation, to remind us that it is You and You alone who are our provision. We have arrived in this state because we, Your church, those who profess to have put our faith and Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have not been light and salt in this world. We have been apathetic or ignorant at best, and at worst, complicit in the undermining of our society, allowing You to be systematically removed from every facet of our culture.

You have been patient with us, very patient, but You are a righteous God, a just God, and the time has come for You to act. We deserve judgment, but we are awake now, Lord, and we pray that You do not give us what we deserve. Instead, we pray for a reprieve, for grace, for You to hear our prayer, forgive our sins, and heal our land.

You are a good and gracious God, a loving God, a forgiving God, our Father in heaven. You love us, Your children, and You want only what is best for us. You are the perfect parent. When necessary, you give us the discipline we need, and you balance that perfectly with grace, forgiveness and comfort, always with the loving intention of convicting us, not condemning us, that we might confess our sins, repent, and return and be restored in right relationship with You.

It is therefore with great faith and optimism that we look forward to the work set before us with this election today. Let this be the pivotal moment that America turns back to You. We ask that You guide us and strengthen and enable us to shine Your light in the darkness, to be bold, in a loving manner, to expose the evil and corruption that has plagued our nation for so long, and that You would cause Your people everywhere to take a stand, to show up, to exercise our civic responsibility, our duty, to vote for those candidates and measures that are just and fair and righteous.

Lord, God, we pray for You to restore us to being once again One Nation Under God, that we would place You first in everything we think and say and do. We humble ourselves, Lord, and we bring this prayer before You. We seek Your face, and we turn from our wicked ways that have brought us to this point of near destruction. We ask that You hear us from heaven, that you forgive us our sins, and that you heal our land!

In the mighty name of Jesus we pray,

Amen

Compassion in the Aftermath of The Storm

Bible Constitution Qcap
I have everything I need right here.

Most Americans are currently unaware of the unprecedented and historic underground revolution taking place just outside the mainstream public purview. But that will change very soon. Like a dam ready to burst, this story can’t be contained much longer.

So, what exactly is “The Storm?” Most of us would probably agree that there is a great deal of corruption in our government, but we don’t believe there is much, if anything, we can do about it. Well…

THE PLAN
As you read this, there is a brilliant plan being executed to identify, uproot and eliminate the corrupt and downright evil elements in government and society that are deeply entrenched, not only here in the U.S., but worldwide. Well-known, well-respected leaders and celebrities will soon be indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced, which will likely come as a complete shock to many, many good Americans – our friends and neighbors – that have simply been deceived and have bought in to the lies of the Deep State cabal.

Like something from a popular spy novel, this real-life 3D chess match and psychological operation (“PsyOp”) is being played out on the world stage with unofficial narration from an anonymous patriot or team of patriots known as Q.

Qshirt Classic WWG1WGAWHO IS Q?
Q is an individual or group with the highest level of security clearance somewhere in the Trump administration that last October began posting Real News, i.e the truth about what is really going on in the world behind the scenes. While everyone else is being indoctrinated by the mainstream news media’s deep state narrative, aka Fake News, those following Q’s posts are receiving timely and truthful information, predictions and instructions in advance of events actually taking place.

The bottom line is: the good guys have all the evidence and the bad guys are going to get what they deserve – all in short order.

Q POSTS & THE ANONS
Qanon Post New Eyes Be ReadyQ posts his information on what I understand to be military bulletin board systems (first on 4chan, then later on 8chan) where everyone is anonymous (Q + anon, hence “Qanon”), and he posts in a communications style used by those in the intelligence community. Though he does make clear statements as well, he will usually direct followers by using leading questions and providing links. It is then up to us to independently research the information and reach our own conclusions.

Many of the “anons” on those boards work diligently to dig up the details, discussing, debating and decoding among themselves, and then sharing the information with us the rest of us “normies.” Their work is invaluable to the Q movement.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?
To learn more about Qanon, and the Real News, I recommend you do two things:

First, visit Qmap.pub which is one of a handful of websites that displays Q’s actual posts. Don’t take anyone else’s word for it. Read them for yourself firsthand and make your own determination whether or not you believe this is legitimate.

Next, in conjunction, check out my favorite Q follower and decoder, Dave Hayes, aka Praying Medic. He has up-to-date videos with his interpretations of the Q drops from a Christian worldview perspective uploaded to his YouTube channel. I find his perspective and insights to be extremely helpful, and I appreciate that his motive is simply to uncover what is true – he has no side agenda.

Recently he created a couple “Q For Beginners” videos, which are probably a good place to start: Q For Beginners Part 1 – Who is Q?

MY Q JOURNEY
After being introduced to Q late last year by several guys in my Bible study group, I finally plunged in and started following Q about three months ago, viewing decode videos and researching things myself. I was open and hopeful, but skeptical. After a few weeks of digging and back-tracing previous posts and events that were predicted that came true (“future proves past”), I became convinced that Q is the real deal.

For me, the evidence of Q’s legitimacy are in the timing of his posts and his insider knowledge. For example, he posted about Saudi Arabia up until the day before the arrests of the Saudi princes that were funding terrorists and U.S. politics, and he posted about the denuclearization of North Korea well in advance, too. One long-running current prediction: Iran is next! Keep an eye on Iran, where the people are revolting against their evil theocratic government. But you won’t hear about it in the mainstream media, of course.

Qanon People Will Be LostTHE AFTERMATH
Based on information from Q, I believe many high-level politicians including Barack Obama and the Clintons will be tried, convicted and jailed (or maybe even executed for treason). When these events take place, those who have set their hopes on these corrupt individuals are going to be blindsided, distraught and likely very angry at being led astray. That’s when we need to be there for them, and we need to be loving, empathetic and compassionate.

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” – Eph 4:31-32 NASB

We need to tone down our own unkind rhetoric, particularly online, because it’s not “us against them,” it’s not the people that have believed the false narrative that are our enemy. It’s the enemy of all mankind, the Devil, that is the true enemy, and we have to pray for our friends and neighbors that have been deceived, that their eyes will be opened. And when they learn the truth of all the sick, twisted, wicked, evil things that have been taking place, I believe that most will join us in condemning it and there will come to be a level of peace and unity in our country and around the world that has not existed for decades!

UNITED WE STAND
The strategy of the deep state is always to divide us, because when we are divided and fighting each other, we are distracted – and they can pull the strings safely from the shadows. Well, the lights are being turned up to full brightness, and there will be no more shadows for them to hide in. As the Bible says, their evil deeds will be revealed in the light and they will be judged and receive the due consequences of those evil deeds.

“This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.” – John 3:19-20

For many of our friends, family and neighbors, this is going to rock their world to the core. So we must be there to embrace them, and help and encourage them. We must let them know we care and are willing to work together for our common good. It is only united together that we have the power to defeat the enemy and to prevent him from returning.

“… all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.” – 1 Pet 3:8-9 NASB

PASS IT DOWN
CrossAnd if we wish to keep our freedom and not let such corruption enter in again, we must pass this wisdom and understanding down to our children, and to our children’s children, one generation at a time. As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

“(if) My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” – 2 Chr 7:14 NASB

Let’s be on our knees in prayer, humbly confessing our sins and turning from our wicked ways. Then God will heal our land.

May God Bless America, and the rest of the world, too!

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Grafted In

Chris Jacobson 1 Comment

Olive Tree with GraftsCan I Lose My Salvation?
Our Bible study group is reading through Romans chapter 11 right now. While praying for wisdom and discernment over this chapter last week, I had the following thoughts about the controversial subject of whether or not a person can lose his salvation. I’m not 100% sure this interpretation is accurate and from the Lord, but it makes good sense to me, so I’m just throwing it out there for discussion.

Before we begin, let me state I believe the Bible teaches that it is not possible for someone, once saved, to lose his salvation. Aside from the scriptural evidence, some of which we will discuss here, I think it trivializes Jesus’ sacrifice if somehow we ourselves have the power to undo it. In other words, Jesus did not tell the truth on the cross – it is NOT finished?! The Bible clearly teaches that it’s Jesus alone who saves us, and not Jesus plus something else. And further, if I thought for a moment that I might lose my salvation, once I was in a right relationship with the Lord and KNEW I was saved as of that moment, I would pray for the Lord to take my life on the spot. I wouldn’t want to risk losing the most precious of all gifts. How cruel that would be! And, it is not in God’s character to be cruel.

Nonetheless, I can see, after reading through verses like those below (without taking into account the whole of scripture), how someone could be unsure about it.

I hope this explanation will bring peace to those of you who “… confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,” because if you do, the very moment that you do, “… you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” (Rom 10:9-10)

John also tells us in 1 John 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

By the way, eternity means forever without end. So once you have “eternal life,” how can it somehow become UN-eternal?

So, let’s have a look at Romans chapter 11, verses 16b through 24, and see if this explanation holds up to scrutiny …

Romans 11
16 … and if the root is holy, the branches are too.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,
18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.
22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

The Olive Tree
The first part of the image here is that there is a cultivated olive tree with branches growing off of it. The analogy is that the tree itself represents Jesus as the source of life and all sustenance, and the Jewish people, those that can actually trace their heritage back to Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, are represented by the branches that are growing naturally off it. The branches have life because they are connected to the source of life that nurtures and sustains them.

Believers Grafted In
However, unbelief (lack of faith) on the part of some of the branches, will be the basis for those branches to be broken off from the cultivated olive tree by it’s caretaker (God the Father). Similarly, belief (faith) on the part of branches from a wild olive tree that were not originally part of the cultivated olive tree (the Gentiles/non-Jews) will be the basis for those branches to be grafted in by the caretaker.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

But…
But what if you don’t “continue in His kindness?” It says in verse 22 that, “you also will be cut off.” And verse 23 says that the branches that were broken off for their unbelief, “if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in…” How can this be?

Generational Continuation
Let us think of this tree in terms of another analogy we are all familiar with: the Family Tree. Put in this perspective, new branches (the children) grow out from the parents’ branch(es), and as the children grow up and marry, new branches (THEIR children) grow out from THEIR branch(es).

So in the example above, let’s presume that the parents are saved, secure in their eternal salvation once and for all. However, one of their children, a “continuation” of their parental branches, does not ever come to a saving faith in Jesus. That child’s branch, therefore, is broken off.

My conclusion is that this “generational” continuation in belief or in unbelief is what the scripture is referring to.

In other words, a “parent” branch, once saved, is always saved. The reference to “continuing” in belief or in unbelief refers to the next generation of “child” branches and the individual decisions each branch makes.

That is why one can be broken off, and later grafted back in. A Jewish believer can have an unbelieving child, the continuation of his genetic line, which “branch” would be broken off. But then, that unbelieving child could have a believing child, the continuation of HIS genetic line, which “branch” would be grafted back in. And similarly with the branches from the wild olive tree (Gentiles).

Now, this doesn’t address works, but the short answer to that is: works are the evidence of salvation (after the fact), not the cause, otherwise Jesus’ death on the cross would not in-and-of-itself have been enough to save us. But that’s a topic for another time.

Anything Worth Doing is Worth Doing Well

Chris Jacobson

This is something I tell my kids, and I try to remember no matter what I’m working on: to do the best I can at every task. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
