Are You Paranoid?

It seems that there are a whole lot of paranoia accusations being thrown around these days. Seems the media and other blindly lead individuals like to use certain attention getting words to make others seem stupid and paranoid while getting the attention off of themselves. It is an age old tactic that was used by our number 1 enemy many years ago at the fall of man. Accuse others to get attention off of yourself and your agenda. Well let me tell you, if what you are concerned about is true, then it is NOT paranoia! Is it paranoia to have insurance on your house, car, life, etc when the chances are very remote that anything will happen? Ask anybody that has had their house burn down, broken into, or flooded. Is it paranoia to put away food and other necessities of life on the off chance that we might need it? Ask anybody that has survived a hurricane, tornado, or other natural disaster. Is it paranoia to wear a helmet on a motorcycle or a seat belt in a car? I've seen enough accidents of both type to say no it is not. Is it paranoia to have a means of protecting yourself against personal attack by two or four legged critters? I've had enough encounters of both to say it is absolutely not. I've never had to use my always present pistol thankfully, but I've also never been saved by my seat belt or extra food. They will always be there though. I HAVE had to use my house insurance and car insurance.

For many years Christians have been saying that persecutions are coming. Many people said they were paranoid. Even though it has clearly happened in other countries throughout history and still happens today, people said you were paranoid if you thought such things. It is now OK to teach kids about Islamic beliefs, Greek mythology, and pretty much any other religious belief, as long as it isn't Christianity. And people wonder why we home school. It has long been a favorite tactic of our enemy to go after our children. Most dictators used it, Hitler used it, the devil uses it, and now our own leaders use it. If it became law that you had to send your kids to a public school that you knew would indoctrinate them with values against your own, would you do it? Hopefully you wouldn't.

Over the years it has slowly become more acceptable to kill the innocent because they are "inconvenient" or "don't have much of a chance". Besides the obvious that this is simply wrong, it soon leads the way for government mandated killings. This too has happened in other countries throughout history and continues to happen today. Yet are you paranoid because you are against abortion? Would you let a government tell you whether or not your unborn child can live? Hopefully you wouldn't.

For years people have been warning us about economic collapse. Yet others always called them paranoid despite the fact that this has happened in the USA in the past. People continued to take on debt spending money they didn't have. Well, here it is. Was I paranoid because I felt a deep desire to get back out of debt? I live in an area where many people grow and/or hunt most of their food. We are all happy that we do. To be honest, the economy hasn't really affected us. I really don't even notice. But despite how all this happened, you have a government that wants you to continue to spend, continue to borrow. Will you do it? Hopefully not.

People say you are paranoid if you think the government wants to disarm you. Yet history tells us that an unarmed populace is not safe from their own leaders. History tells us that an unarmed populace is not safe from the criminal elements. Have you ever really thought about and studied why our constitution says what it says about arms? The framers of our constitution where amazingly intelligent people. They studied history and saw first hand what an out of control government can do. They were prophetic. They were also very wealthy (most of them anyway) and had LOTS to lose in this so called "rebellion" they led. Is it really rebellion to fight for ones life? They wanted the 2nd amendment in there as a last ditch effort to stop a tyrannical government and rampant crime. In England now, if you must wound or kill somebody in self defense, you will serve time. Would you let a tyranny happen to your house because the leaders tell you you're not allowed to stop it? For your children's sake, I do hope not.

The above things we have been "paranoid" about are coming true. Homeland Security says that if you think any off the above things you need to be watched. They think that YOU are a potential terrorist because you disagree with them. Government mandated thinking. My friends, ultimate responsibility for you and your children lie with YOU! It is time we all get off our lazy hind ends and pray for our country. The Lord promises He will heal our land if we humble ourselves and pray. It is also important that we do our civic duty and VOTE! Our government isn't the way it is because it was Gods desire. It is the way it is because of our laziness, sin, and apathy. It wasn't Gods desire for Israel to be under bondage to other countries so many times in history, it was because of their laziness, sin, and apathy. The Lord has given us such a great and wonderful country to live in. It is worth fighting for. It is still salvagable. There is still hope. God is NOT done with this country. God has NOT forsaken us. We have turned away. Will you continue to let your homeland waste and rot away? Hopefully not.
