Goodbye Sweet Lady Red White And Blue

Author: Bernie Wheater - Harvest Time Alert

 love what America was to the world, it was the light on the hill that all the world could see. It was the dream,  thousands upon thousands left their countries to come and find. America was the greatest experiment in human government in the history of man. That is because the majority of the men that formed this government were strong Christian men, no matter what the history books say to the contrary. 

But at the same time I can’t lie and say I love what it is or what it is becoming, in fact I have to say I hate it. We need to get back to our beginning, and our Christian roots or we will lose it all. As I read a short time ago as a comment to something I wrote.

“The hat trick is to actuate another transformational revolution in America that has its foundations into the way of thinking of America’s first successful experimental transformational revolution.”

This is a great quote, his online title is theway2k. It says a lot, and the first transformational revolution in this country was to make a government based on Christian values and governed by the laws of God. As I said we need to get back to our beginning. If we lose track of where we came from we will lose control over where we are going. We didn’t get here over night, it all was taken away from us little by little. One of the first little steps they used was to confuse us as to what kind of government we really have.

Our pledge to our flag states “and to the Republic for which it stands” notice it says to the Republic, so why is it our servants (Not Leaders) in public office always call it a Democracy? The reason is because if they can make us believe it is a Democracy instead of a Republic then we will have to come to see that we are not ruled by law (A Republic) but rather we are ruled by the majority (A Democracy).

Now they can make any group appear to have the support of the majority and make laws to support their will. A Democracy is nothing more than a fancy term for “Mob Rules.”

I remember reading many years ago in the mid 90s somewhere, and I wish I could remember who quoted it but I can’t, but I did write it down and saved it.  “A Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for diner”. It is said that this is a Benjamin Franklin quote, but I can find no proof of that and believe me I looked. The full quote is:

“ Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is two wolves attempting to have a sheep for dinner and finding a well-informed, well-armed sheep.”

 I am going to reword this quote and make it somewhat mine to show you the difference between a Republic and a Democracy.

“A Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for diner. A Republic is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for diner, but there are laws against eating sheep, and ALL sheep carry guns.”

By getting us to lose our foundation of being a people ruled by law (A Republic) to being a people ruled by the majority (A Democracy) any God given rights we have turn into constitutional rights. Now this is where they trap you, if your rights are Constitutional rights then they are government given, not God given.  Now they have you because if they are government given by a government that is majority rules (A Democracy), then they can have you believe that the majority want them taken away.

When we look around at the mess this country is in, is there any one group we can blame for it? Everybody I’ve asked that question to always says no there are too many groups to blame, and they go on to name a few. I’m sure you can name some too. But I believe there is one single group of people we can blame.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Ch 7:14

From this verse taken from the Book I consider to be my authority in all things, it clearly points to one group of people that is to blame for a country that is in a moral mess. It says if His people (Christians) shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways; then (and only then) will He hear from heaven, and He will forgive our sins, and He will heal our land.

I don’t know everything we Christians are doing wrong, but from the looks of America we are doing something if not many things wrong. Maybe we forgot what it is to be humble. Maybe we don’t pray enough or for the right things. Maybe we don’t truly seek His face. Maybe we don’t want to turn from our wicked ways, it’s so much easier to blame someone else. Whatever the reason He is not hearing from heaven, and He is not healing our land.

If American Christians don’t wake up soon, in the near future it will be too late, you can say goodbye to sweet lady Red White And Blue. We will no longer be called the United States of America, we will be called the North American Union. One of ten kingdoms under a Global control.

The Most Important Vote In History

Author: Bernie Wheater - Harvest Time Alert

It was 237 years ago on this day, July 2^nd 1776 the most important vote in history took place in Philadelphia, but the resolution voted upon on this day was presented to the Second Continental Congress almost a month before this date. A resolution drafted by Richard Henry Lee for independence from Great Britain was presented to Congress on June 7. However, at this point South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,  Delaware, Maryland and  New York  were not willing to declare independence. So that the resolution would not just die Congress agreed to delay the vote on until July 1, Congress then appointed a committee to draft a formal declaration of independence during this period of time. The committee was made up of members John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert R. Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. They all agreed that Thomas Jefferson, was the best writer of the group, and selected him to be the primary author. The document was presented to Congress for review on June 28, 1776.

On July 1, 1776, as planned the debate on Lee’s Resolution took place.  The majority of the delegates at this point favored the resolution. However congress thought that this vote for independence was so important that it should be unanimously proclaimed, so they delayed the final vote one more day. The next day 12 colonial delegations voted in favor of the resolution, however New York delegates not wanting to vote abstained. So, on July 2nd, 1776, by unanimous vote the American colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. Two days later, our Declaration of Independence was signed.

 In a letter to his wife John Adams writes:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

The revolutionary war followed, by the grace of God we won, and America became the greatest nation in the history of the world. John may have been off by 2 days seeing that Independence Day became the day of the signing of the Declaration and not the day of the voting on it. John Adams however without a doubt was correct in that America's independence would be a day worth celebrating for generations to come.

On Independence Day this year, somewhere between the hot dogs and the fireworks let us take a moment to remember what this holiday is really all about. And remember the men that pledged their names, their wealth and their lives so that America could be born. And maybe just maybe a spark will set ablaze a fire that will engulf this land restoring the values these men fought and died for so that we could be free.

Pentagon Denies Plans to Court Martial Evangelicals; Questions Remain

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter

May 3, 2013|9:16 am

Following reports that the Pentagon has been planning on court martialing soldiers for religious proselytization, the Department of Defense has clarified that only those forcing their beliefs on others will be punished.

"Service members can share their faith (evangelize), but must not force unwanted, intrusive attempts to convert others of any faith or no faith to one's beliefs (proselytization)," a Department of Defense spokesperson told the Alliance Defending Freedom on Thursday.

ADF had filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Wednesday seeking clarification over the issue, after concerns arose that evangelical members of the military might be targeted for sharing their faith with others.

"Members of our military should not be denied the very freedoms they fight to defend. Freedom of religion and speech are paramount among those freedoms," commented ADF Legal Counsel Joseph La Rue. "We appreciate the Pentagon's clarification, but little or no evidence exists of coercive proselytization in the military, so we are still troubled over what motivated the original comments."

"We wish to ensure that the Pentagon does not deny members of the armed services the basic freedoms that the Constitution guarantees all Americans," La Rue added. "For that reason, Alliance Defending Freedom is serious about investigating this gross error."

On Tuesday, Fox News obtained a statement from the Pentagon that reportedly said: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court Martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis."

The statement created much confusion, as it was not clear how far soldiers would be able to go in sharing their faith before it was considered proselytization and a punishable offense.

Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has reportedly been consulting the Pentagon when it comes to questions of how to deal with religious tolerance.

Weinstein as spoken out against pro-family, traditional Christian groups by calling them "fundamentalist Christian monsters," and has vowed to fight what he sees as "virulent religious oppression."

Microsoft Has Come Up With A New Way To Rip You Off

Author Bernie Wheater Harvest Time Alert

Once upon a time you bought a software disc and you used that disc to install the software on your computer. If you bought a new computer you could use that disc to install that software on your new computer. That was once upon a time, but now Microsoft has found a new way to rip you off. If you buy Microsoft Office 2013 for $140.00 to $399.00 depending on what version you buy, you no longer receive a disc, you get a key code and you download the software. Here’s the catch it is only good for one computer forever.

Microsoft Office 2013 is not transferrable, not even to yourself, in other words if you buy a new computer your $400.00 copy of Office 2013 is useless, you cannot load it onto your new computer even though you bought it. If you want to put it on your new computer you have to buy a new key code for $400.00. I guess Microsoft isn’t rich enough so it needs to come up with new ways to steal your money with the legal help of the US courts.

Many Office users have expressed outcry over new, harsh Hitler-sounding terms in the Office 2013 retail license that takes away any rights customers can do with the software. The paragraph that has people angry is:

You may not transfer the software to another computer or user. You may transfer the software directly to a third party only as installed on the licensed computer, with the Certificate of Authenticity label and this agreement. Before the transfer, that party must agree that this agreement applies to the transfer and use of the software. You may not retain any copies.

In the past if you bought copyrighted works such as records, CDs, DVDs, books, and even software you had the right to use and dispose of them as you wished. But US courts once again in favor of big business because of greased palms stick it to the little guy. US courts ruled that first sale doctrine does not apply to works that have merely been licensed and not sold outright. Which means if you are only buying the license to use the product and not buying the product itself, you have no rights in the product’s use. Using the US courts to back them up Microsoft’s new dictatorship roll makes the Office license very clear that you are not buying their software.

We do not sell our software or your copy of it – we only license it. Under our license we grant you the right to install and run that one copy on one computer (the licensed computer) for use by one person at a time, but only if you comply with all the terms of this agreement. Our software license is permanently assigned to the licensed computer.

The only exception to the non-transferability clause is if a customer's computer fails when it still under warranty. In this case a customer can receive an exemption to install it on the replacement computer. So if your mother board burns out  a week after your warranty runs out you are tough out of luck as far as installing your office 2013 on your new computer, so plan on spending another $400.00 to put Office 2013 pro on your new computer.

I think Microsoft is getting ridiculous with their policies on ripping off their customers. I would say to anyone thinking about buying Office 2013 to not do it. Instead buy a packaged copy of Office 2010 so if you need to you reinstall it on a new computer if you need to. There is not enough new features in 2013 over 2010 that makes it worth you not having any rights on what you can do with it.

There is even a better way to go than buying Office 2010, when it comes to having an office suite on your computer. I have Office 2010 on one of my computers and Office 2007 on another. I also have a few other office suites that for the price is almost or just as good as Microsoft Office, the price for these office programs is FREE! Below is a list of some of these free office suites I have and the web addresses for downloading them.

SoftMaker FreeOffice A great office program. In fact at times you may forget you are not using Microsoft Office. Download free here:  http://freeoffice.com/

SSuite Office another great office program for free. Download free here: http://www.ssuitesoft.com/freedownloads.htm

Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012 Another great office program even has a couple features Microsoft office doesn’t have. It even has a built-in Office to PDF converter. Download Free here: http://www.kingsoftstore.com/software/kingsoft-office-freeware

Lotus Symphony Another Great Office Program. This one even comes with all kinds of neat plug-ins you can add on. Download free here:

http://www-03.ibm.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home

OpenOffice Another great office program, and it is the most known free office suite program. They have had over 44 million downloads. There must be something about this program people seem to like. Download free here: http://www.openoffice.org   

LibreOffice I like this office suite a lot. It has features you won’t find in any of the other office suite programs including Microsoft Office. It also has a number of plug-ins you can download and add on to the suite. Download free here: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

I think Microsoft is getting way out of line on how they treat people, and I would like to see people take a stand and stop buying their products, with the free software out there now that can take the place of their office programs, it’s not really that hard any more to turn your back on Microsoft. After all they have turned their back on you.

Harvest Time

Author Bernie Wheater Harvest Time Alert

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Matthew 13:36-39

We live in a time of evil, like no time that has ever been.

 And the evil ahead is more evil than any time will ever be again.

 We reached a time where there is no limit to what man will do for love of gold.

 We live in a time when man has little thought to what will become of his eternal soul.
We live in a time when men act as women, and women wish to be men.

 We live in a time of unnatural love, no not love but lust instead.

 We live in a time where life has little to no value, so kill it before it reaches the light of day.

 We live in a time where anything goes, except what the Bible has to say.

 We live in a time where teaching our children witchcraft is the religion of choice.

 But if you teach of the salvation of Jesus the governments will silence your voice.

 We live in a time when everyday a natural disaster hits somewhere on this earth.

 And they seem to get closer and closer together, as the pains of a woman ready to give birth.

 We live in a time when our governments poison it’s people with food, water and air.
We live in a time when the people being poisoned don’t even seem to care.

 We live in a time we believe the lies our masters shove down our throats.

 But, we reject the truth from our Father who loves us the most.

 We live in a time we will sell our birth right for a pottage of lentils so our bellies are full.
 We will gladly give away our God given freedoms for homeland security and just do what we’re told.

 We live in a time a mark would be oh so easy to take.
 So we can have our meat and potatoes and for desert some cake.

 We live in a time leading to one final war of the blind leading the blind.

 And the angels will come to earth to reap, and in the clouds our Lord every eye will see, it’s His harvest time.
