Isa 58:6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Isa 58:7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Kansas for President!!! The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written by Julia Ward Howe she wrote the song in 1861 It was Abe Lincoln's theme song for his election in 1864 when he died the song was played at his funeral in 1865....It's now Kansas' campaign song! "To proclaim the favorable and acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance and retribution of our God, To comfort all who mourn.." Isaiah 61:2
2016 The ACCEPTABLE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD! Acceptable: Hebrew "ratsown" meaning: pleasure, delight, favour, goodwill, acceptance, goodwill, favour Wow... as I think back and recap 2015 it seems to have been rough going for many. Muslim extremists have reeked havoc, not even sparing other Muslims, but especially targeting Jews and Christians. Beheadings are now common place headlines and the blood of martyrs cries as much now as it ever did. Bickering, fighting, the divide in this country is great....gay marriage, abortion.... corrupt cops and a lost people trying to find a voice through a campaign yelling black lives matter... yes, they do...all lives matter..."We live in a world where the word "education" does not mean learning but merely schooling. "Civilization" does not mean cultivation and culture but rather nation-states spending astronomical amounts of wealth on preparation for war. "Food" does not mean nourishment but an endless array of substitutes, adulterants, preservatives, and growth hormones. "Shoe" does not mean footwear but foot ornament." -WMS Copperthwaite
There is a battle for natural food, to get the government out of our homes, off our plates, and out of our pockets...
We are all fed up with corruption on both sides of the isle. The recent bipartisan passing of a bill removing the country of origin requirement for meat shows just how bought off they all are. The strictest of regulations for homegrown meat and yet big processors can now enjoy slave wages by sending meat to China or anywhere to be processed under less than ideal conditions and no one will be the wiser... There is hope on the horizon... a "sounding forth of trumpets that shall never call retreat..." It's like America, my dear lady, you're about to wake up from a long deep sleep, full of dreams that turned into fitful nightmares of war and corruption. Its time to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord!! "What if we've been wrong about things? What if there is nothing wrong with wanting and having things? That is, what's been wrong has been our relationship to things, all our coveting, greed, and lust for ownership. What would be wrong with possessions if they deprived no one? If they were made by oneself or by friends and were not for sale but freely and lovingly given?" -WMS Copperthwaite
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!!! His truth is marching on!!! 2016 can be a great year!! "as he died to make me holy, let us die to make men free!! Our God is marching on!!" Kansas Matt Stoskopf for president! Farms for everyone!! For my own family 2015 marks the end of sleeping as well. We've decided to wake up and live, take part in life!! To live, to grow, to be a part of the system that brings me life from food to clothes to housing. "I'm very troubled by the amount of vicarious living we do, the time we spend watching someone else play ball or have adventures. The story goes that William Baden-Powell got the idea for the Boy Scouts from seeing a crowd of people watching a soccer match. He suddenly realized that the crowd should have been playing rather than watching. As a people, we live vicariously much of the time: we watch someone else's drama, ball games...or adventure, and listen to someone else's music. Instead of vicarious ball games, how about a real game of split wood - or plant garden - or catch a porcupine for supper?" -WMS Copperthwaite America! It's time to start living!!!! God's hand directed the formation of this great country, guiding the hearts and minds of great men and women who sought him.
Isaiah 61
Exaltation of the Afflicted
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed and commissioned me To bring good news to the humble and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted, To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives And freedom to prisoners, 2 To proclaim the favorable and acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance and retribution of our God, To comfort all who mourn, 3 To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following: To give them a [c]turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning], The oil of joy instead of mourning, The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit. So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God], The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
4 Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up and restore the former desolations; And they will renew the ruined cities, The desolations (deserted settlements) of many generations. 5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers. 6 But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; People will speak of you as the ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, And you will boast of their riches. 7 Instead of your [former] shame you will have a [d]double portion; And instead of humiliation your people will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double [what they had forfeited]; Everlasting joy will be theirs. 8 For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery with [e]a burnt offering. And I will faithfully reward them, And make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations, And their descendants among the peoples. All who see them [in their prosperity] will recognize and acknowledge them That they are the people whom the Lord has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has covered me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom puts on a [f]turban, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, So the Lord God will [most certainly] cause righteousness and justice and praise To spring up before all the nations [through the power of His word].
Isaiah 58 Ministries Pastor Leah "Faith" New Years Eve 2015 What Do Factory Farms, Sweatshops, and Our Nation's Fiat Money System Have in Common? By now most of us know the dangers of fake food, so called franken food, gmo's, pesticides... They are killing us slowly. Many of us are waking up to the slave labor being used to make our clothes and farm our fields and so things like ethically raised and Fair Trade have sprung up to meet our moral realizations...Today, it really hit me. This is exactly what has happened to our monetary system. Just as corrupt men, eager for profit, put aside natural ways of farming, and replaced it with a factory, so too, the natural way of exchanging goods through something with intrinsic value, has been replaced with something with no value and it's slowly causing our nation to crumble. You don't see it's affects right away just like you don't see the affects of chemicals and gmos' right away... But underneath the labyrinth of endless supplies of paper is a dangerously crumbling foundation.... Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it...
Isaiah 60:17 "Instead of bronze I will bring gold, And instead of iron I will bring silver, And instead of wood, bronze, And instead of stones, iron. And I will make peace your administrators And righteousness your overseers.
Why do I talk so much about gold and silver?
Aren't we as Christians, not to seek money or this world's goods? "When riches increase, do not set your heart on them..." The rest of that verse is pretty poignant...
Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it. Psalm 62:10 When America's money system moved away from the gold standard it opened the flood gates for thieves to come in and steal, and they've been stealing from us for nearly 100 yrs.
Look at that again:Wealth accumulates unjustly! The people who say they are wealthy are nothing but theives! What they have they stole from everyone! Corrupt Currency and Corrupt Food...What our food supply has in common with our money supply
10 yrs ago I had no idea just how bad our current food supply had become... I didn't know about gmos or just how bad pesticides were. I knew growing my own was better but I didn't know exactly why. I didn't know that nutrient levels in fruits and veggies had dropped as much as 90% in some cases verses pre-1950s
(see below) http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-and-nutrition-loss/
I also had no idea the chemicals in everything from shampoos to lotions to some soaps was causing health problems and even cancer...
I really didn't know that most of my clothing comes from sweat shops in Asian countries.
I knew a little bit about these things but not a lot...
The same with our money supply...
You see, between the pasteurized milk, and pesticide laden food, we have a buying and ingesting frankenfood, it's not really real. It's food like substances...
The same is true for our monetary system: it's frankenmoney... actually, it's called fiat, or fake...
If our modern food system is unhealthy because it's fake, our monetary system is even more harmful!!!!! When I talk about gold andsilverwhat I am saying is "right now our money system is sick and making people really really sick... it looks like money but it's all made up in our minds...just like the food in the grocery store looks like food but most of the nutrition is lacking..." . but if the monetary system was based ongold and silver, they would not be able to create fake money out of thin air..
Just like big corporations are taking advantage of you with their cheetos and cokes, full of artificial flavors... there are men and women we are leeching off of American's hard work.
These guys and gals literally "bank" on the fact that you are too busy, too tired, too brainwashed to care...
The Federal Reserve has done something mankind as sought for ages to do: create gold.. but it's fools gold.. it's simply a paper printing machine printing paper with the supposed value of gold... paper money: kings new clothes!
DEFINITION of 'Fiat Money'
Currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, but is not backed by a physical commodity. The value of fiat money is derived from the relationship between supply and demand rather than the value of the material that the money is made of. Historically, most currencies were based on physical commodities such as gold or silver, but fiat money is based solely on faith. Fiat is the Latin word for "it shall be".
Because fiat money is not linked to physical reserves, it risks becoming worthless due to hyperinflation. If people lose faith in a nation's paper currency, like the dollar bill, the money will no longer hold any value.
Most modern paper currencies are fiat currencies, have no intrinsic value and are used solely as a means of payment. Historically, governments would mint coins out of a physical commodity such as gold or silver, or would print paper money that could be redeemed for a set amount of physical commodity. Fiat money is inconvertible and cannot be redeemed.
Fiat money rose to prominence in the 20th century, specifically after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, when the United States ceased to allow the conversion of the dollar into gold. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fiatmoney.asp
Recently a New York judge was sworn in with her hand on the Qur'an... Is this allowed under our Constitution?
di·a·bol·i·cal
ˌdīəˈbälək(ə)l/
adjective
belonging to or so evil as to recall the Devil.
"his diabolical cunning"
synonyms:devilish, fiendish, satanic, demonic, demoniacal, hellish, infernal, evil, wicked, ungodly, unholy
Our country was framed as Judeo-Christian nation, based on the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. It was based on the Torah, or Bible. To swear an oath by any other God has traditionally never happened or was extremely rare. The Quran is perverted in how it is all made up. For instance they switched it from Abraham having to sacrifice Isaac, to Ishmael. Ishmael's seed being from where Muslims originate... They want to credit Muslims as receiving God's blessing, not the Israelites who adhere to His Law. Shariah law is but complete lawlessness.
To me while it might not be an official mandate in the Constitution, everyone was agreed upon the God to which they were referring. All original laws were based upon His Word. To me it is insulting as it is sort of granting permission for Muslims to bring their hatred and violence to this nation. Sound minded men have the duty to try and warn the masses as to keep the women and children safe. Any Muslim man that is not instituting acts of violence is not a fully indoctrinated Muslim. It is not a deviation from Islam, but the true intention of Islam.
A friend of mine had this to say, which makes some very good points: Insulting is different than unconstitutional.
I will refer you first to the 1st amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Second, the affirmation is a verbal oath. Tradition from English common law is to swear on a bible, though this is not a requirement to swear on the bible. It is a personal choice.
It's also worth pointing out that just because something has been done once, does not mean it is legal, Constitutional, or right. My sister made some really good points about the run away judicial branch we now have in America The judicial branch of the government, has grown beyond its intended purpose: judges now make laws for the people. Their original job was to interpret the law and Constitution as it was written by our founding fathers. The constitution was written by men who believed in the Judeo/Christian God, based on the morals set forth by Him. It was written for a people who also believed in that same God. When the first amendment was written, the word "religion" was primarily understood at the time to mean different denominations and faiths within that. John Adams, his son John Quincy, and Thomas Jefferson all read the Qur'an and hailed it as heretical and evil. John Adams, when asked why he read it said it was to be able to know his enemy. I respect him for that as I could not do it, it takes a real man to be able to do that. My point is, if it goes against what our founding fathers intended when they wrote the constitution, then, yes, I agree, it is unconstitutional. Ironically, it's a judge who is supposed to interpret what they intended...
Justice Brewer, writing for the Supreme Court, stated that:
"Even the Constitution of the United States, which is supposed to have little touch upon the private life of the individual, contains in the First Amendment a declaration common to the constitutions of all the States, as follows: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' etc. And also provides in Article 1, section 7, (a provision common to many constitutions,) that the Executive shall have ten days (Sundays excepted) within which to determine whether he will approve or veto a bill.
To this I refer to Thomas Jefferson, who, while did not pen the Constitution, was there in all the action with the forming of our great nation `On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.' (Thomas Jefferson, Memoir, Correspondence, and Miscellanies, From the Papers of Thomas Jefferson
It's very simple: you can't swear to uphold truth on a written text that promotes lying to "infidels" which most Americans are. We don't know if she told the truth to uphold the Constitution because her faith allows for lying... THAT is unConstitutional
The Judeo-Christian principles our country are founded upon denounce lying.
I know that many Muslims may not believe in lying but and many Christians and Jews probably lie, however, by placing your hand on a book that encourages deceit to promote and protect their religion is UnConstitutional...
Look at the smile on his face when he says to the converted Jew "now if you drink we will kill you, see we cured your alcoholism.."Mohommand actually says it is wrong to take Christians and Jews as friends...
An ex-Muslim recounts his time during the Gulf War when the war updates were on TV at work and Americans were killed, he shook his head in saddness, then on his way home he would open his car window and yell Allah Akbar and go back to his apartment complex which was mostly Muslim and they would all get together and when the "enemy" ie Americans were killed, they would all shout Allah Akbar... but the company of Americans they would shake their head in sadness...
THIS is exactly why I believe Obama lies so much. He is a Muslim and he has lies to promote his agenda... That being said, it's like the Vietnam War... I don't think all Muslims are lying but the Viet Cong would use children to kill Americans but not all North Vietnamese were Viet Cong... but it's a very touchy issue http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/05/1063-documented-examples-of-barack-obamas-lying-lawbreaking-corruption-cronyism-hypocrisy-waste-etc/ The Constitution is based on the principle of Individual Freedom and Liberty which is espoused and promoted in the Bible... These freedoms are in direct contradiction to the Muslim faith... as promoted in the Quran and it's subsequent Shariah Law...The blueprint or way of life of the Muslim is contradictory to American freedom and Independence... and thus, un Constitutional. While Muslims are free to live in America, the truth is, they must adapt to American Liberty and freedom. If I go to Saudia Arabia, I cannot drive a car... In most Arab countries I would be legally bound to cover from head to toe... Why is this? The implementation of Islamic law... what is found in the Quran... Any Muslim who would uphold the Constitution and Christian basis for the laws in this country would have to go AGAINST their faith, and thus, it would be more prudent for a Muslim to put their hands on a Bible or a copy of the laws of this land, rather than a text that is very much against what our founding fathers fought and died for.
America's Founders and Islam America's earliest presidents best understood these founding principles. They were not only deeply involved with their formal adoption, but they were professionally competent in explaining them. When confronted with an Islamic threat, they took the effort to consult primary sources and to conduct competent analysis of that threat.
In 1786, Thomas Jefferson, ambassador to France, and John Adams, ambassador to England, met with the emissary of the Islamic potentates of Tripoli to Britain, Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, regarding the demands for tribute being made at the time by the so-called Barbary Pirates.
Afterwards, Jefferson and Adams sent a four-page report to the Congress describing this meeting. The relevant portion of their report reads:
"We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the Grounds of their pretensions to make war upon Nations who had done them no Injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation.
"The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their prophet, that it was written in their Qur'an, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman [Muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise."
John Adams' son and our sixth president, John Quincy Adams, whose formative years coincided with the founding of the republic, offers further insights into the early presidents' views on this subject. Like many Americans, he took an oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And, when faced with an Islamic enemy, he understood his obligation to be educated on the factual aspects of the principles, doctrines, objectives, jurisprudence and theology of shariah that comprised his enemy's threat doctrine.
John Quincy Adams' 136-page series of essays on Islam displayed a clear understanding of the threat facing America then - and now, especially from the permanent Islamic institutions of jihad and dhimmitude. Regarding these two topics, Adams states: "...[Mohammed] declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion against all the rest of mankind.... The precept of the Quran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that [Mohammed] is the prophet of God.
"The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute. As the essential principle of [Mohammed's] faith is the subjugation of others by the sword; it is only by force, that his false doctrines can be dispelled, and his power annihilated.
"The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force.
"This appeal to the natural hatred of the Mussulmen towards the infidels is in just accordance with the precepts of the Quran. The document [the Quran] does not attempt to disguise it, nor even pretend that the enmity of those whom it styles the infidels, is any other than the necessary consequence of the hatred borne by the Mussulmen to them - the paragraph itself, is a forcible example of the contrasted character of the two religions.
"The fundamental doctrine of the Christian religion is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. It forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies. There is no denomination of Christians, which denies or misunderstands this doctrine. All understand it alike - all acknowledge its obligations; and however imperfectly, in the purposes of Divine Providence, its efficacy has been shown in the practice of Christians, it has not been wholly inoperative upon them. Its effect has been upon the manners of nations. It has mitigated the horrors of war - it has softened the features of slavery - it has humanized the intercourse of social life. The unqualified acknowledgement of a duty does not, indeed, suffice to insure its performance. Hatred is yet a passion, but too powerful upon the hearts of Christians. Yet they cannot indulge it, except by the sacrifice of their principles, and the conscious violation of their duties. No state paper from a Christian hand, could, without trampling the precepts of its Lord and Master, have commenced by an open proclamation of hatred to any portion of the human race. The Ottoman lays it down as the foundation of his discourse."
In conclusion, it is clear from the writings of several of our earliest presidents, as well as the texts of the nation's founding documents, that American principles are not at odds with - and imperiled by - some "radical" or "extreme" version of Islam. Rather, it is the mainstream doctrine of shariah that constitutes the threat to the U.S. Constitution and the freedoms it enshrines. That incompatibility has several practical implications: For one thing, the shariah legal code cannot be insinuated into America - even through stealthy means or democratic processes - without violating the Constitution's Article VI Supremacy Clause, which requires that the Constitution "shall be the supreme Law of the land."
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are married documents, meant to be understood together... you cannot believe that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights if you do not believe in the God of Creation.... this is a fact, while we have many secular people in office, that does not negate the fact that their beliefs are fundamentally against the founding documents of this country... And by Creator, this is meant the Divine hand of the one God...
And certainly, this judge cannot uphold the Constitution of New York.. you may not agree with the fact that almost every single state Constitution acknowledges God but New York's does... and by Almighty God, this is the God of the Juedo-Christian Bible..
Preamble: We The People of the State of New York, grateful to Almighty God for our Freedom, in order to secure its blessings, DO ESTABLISH THIS CONSTITUTION.
Most certainly, how can a judge uphold the intents of the Constitution without the very reasons behind it's creation? "The fourth and fifth references to God are found in the last paragraph. The rightness of our cause was left to God as judge. “We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown…”
If our Constitution was so godless, certainly it would have banned any mention of God or religious tests in state Constitutions, and yet, it did not as is seen in the state Constitutions to this day. The Constitution is only as powerful and as strong and true as those who swear to uphold it... You cannot be a Muslim and swear on a book written by a man.... a man who, in for all intents and purposes, wrote a book that called for making war against the very principles our country was founded upon. The Constitution is like a cake, but there is a list of things that went into that cake to make that cake... many people look at the Constitution and say "it is not an egg... yet it contains egg..." It is not oil, yet it was made using oil... It is not dry flour, yet flour was used to create it... And without Christian principles there would never, ever have been a Constitution, there NEVER would have been an America... and as a side note, without Christianity, there would still be slavery in Britain and America..
