Islam’s Agenda

Adapted from Dr.. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism
and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest
form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and
military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other
components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a
country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse
societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of
the other components tend to creep in as well.

Here’s how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2%
in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a
peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.. This is the
case in:

United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1..8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic
minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the
jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in
proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will
push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food,
thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase
pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along
with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government
to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the
Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over
the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to
increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In
Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends
Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with
opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are
seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting,
jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian
churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic
terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

>From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of
non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims),
sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and
Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some
State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive
out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced
and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the
Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody
is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only
word, such as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100%
states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy
their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab
life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my
family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the
tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. — Leon Uris,
‘The Haj’

It is important to understand that in some countries, with
well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim
populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within
which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these
ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious
facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community
at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even
associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in
some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more
power than the national average would indicate.

Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s
population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians,
Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of
the world’s population by the end of this century.

If the U.S. pop. is 0.6 % muslim, Isn’t it odd that;

Obama appoints two devout Muslims to Homeland Security
posts. Doesn’t this make you feel safer already?

Obama and Janet Napolitano appoint Arif Alikhan, a devout
Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development.

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in Kareem Shora, a
devout Muslim who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive
Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).

NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being
identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant…?
Just wondering.

Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security
positions? Doesn’t this make you feel safer already??

That should make the US ’ homeland much safer, huh!!

Was it not “Devout Muslim men” that flew planes into U.S.
buildings 8 years ago?

Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood ?

Please forward this important information to any who care
about the future of our respective countries.

What is My Hope In?

Kathi Pelton:
What is My Hope In?

“Remember the word and promise to Your servant on which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction, that Your word has revived me and given me life.” –Psalm 119:49-50

The Unshakable Kingdom

The past few years I have been aware that many of you have struggled to maintain hope during times of what appears to be great loss and confusion. I know that not every Believer has experienced this, but I would dare to say that a good number of you reading this have either experienced loss, confusion or some sort of intense storm in the past few years. I am not talking about merely the normal struggles of living on planet earth, but unusual struggles that have shaken you in ways that you did not know that you could be shaken.

I am one of those people too! Over the past three years I have gone through many stages of shakings that have taken me through deep refining and deep conflict, as well as deep resolve. Just this week I have been pondering the question:

“What is my hope in?”

Is my hope in God coming through with earthly provision? Is my hope in promises fulfilled? Is my hope in having peace and joy due to good circumstances coming my way? Where is it? I really had to look deeply and honestly at these questions. Are they bad things to hope in? No! But have they been the foundation of my hope and joy in my life? These issues were consuming a lot of time in my mind and emotions which alarmed me. Finally I had to take it a step further – was my hope founded in the earthly realm or in the Kingdom of God? To my sorrow I found great mixture in the answer to that question as I examined my heart.

We are all looking for comfort and stability. If our foundation and hope is in this earth and its stability then we are on sinking ground. But, if our foundation and hope is in the Kingdom of God then it is a Kingdom that cannot be shaken; therefore neither will we be shaken. Though everything shakes around us we will find ourselves standing firm. The mixture in my heart of wanting to put one “foot of hope” on earthly kingdoms and one foot in the Heavenly Kingdom was causing me to live off-balance.

Does this mean that God will not give us good things on earth? Of course not! It means that when we put both feet on the foundation of the Kingdom of God we will not fall when earthly things are shaken. Our comfort comes from the fact that the Kingdom of God will not fail and that is where we are to live and put our hope.

Deliverance from Other Kingdoms

“And Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah, and said to the Israelites, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, It was I who brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you. But you have this day rejected your God, who Himself saves you from all your calamities and distresses; and you have said to Him, No! Set a king over us.” –1 Samuel 10:17-19

God is doing the same thing today. He is delivering His people from all the “kingdoms of this world” that have caused us to live in slavery and oppression. The kingdoms of this world are continually changing and being shaken but His Kingdom is secure and unshakable.

Jesus is the KING of His Kingdom! He is the only one who can save us from all of our calamities and distresses. Our King Jesus rules with mercy and justice and will never betray us or let us down. Let us not live in the belief that there is hope or security in any other kingdom, for all other kingdoms will pass away except His.

There are demonic kingdoms that attempt to lure God’s people to live in the grip of their oppression. These demonic kingdoms can rule in our hearts by causing us continual strife and discontentment. These kingdoms and rulers set up “camp” in the earth and cause us to demand an earthly king that will tell us how to live and what to do. But we have the Holy Spirit who leads us in truth and sets us free to move and have our being in the counsel and wisdom of His leading.

We can hear together and move together in unity under the counsel of one King. But the mixture of living in other kingdoms is continually getting in the way of that unity that only exists in the Kingdom of God. There are places in our hearts that still want this earthly kingdom to work for us and make our lives better. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to put both our feet in His Kingdom – this is where we will find stability and hope.

On Earth as it is in Heaven

“Our Father, who is in Heaven, holy is Your name. Your Kingdom come Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven…” –Matthew 6: 9-10

As we place our feet and our hope in the Kingdom that cannot fail then we can see our King’s will be done here on earth, just as it is done in Heaven.

“Remember the word and promise to Your servant on which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction, that Your word has revived me and given me life.” –Psalm 119:49-50

When we have our feet securely in the right Kingdom we can hear and receive the promises and words that He has spoken over our lives. We can receive comfort and consolation in the midst of our earthly afflictions because His word gives us hope and security even as we dwell here on this mission field called earth. Remember, our true home is His Kingdom and as lawful citizens we can bring His Kingdom and culture here.

There are many promises that the Lord has spoken directly to my family that we still await the fulfillment of. As the Lord has allowed us to face many storms and afflictions over the past few years, we have begun to find our joy in the King and His Kingdom rather than merely in the fulfillment of earthly promises. The fulfillment of those promises will be used to allow us to see His will accomplished on earth, but they are not the source of our hope, security, stability and joy.

We can now be joyful in the waiting and in the fulfillment of His words spoken to us. We are comforted by His promises but not miserable in the waiting for the fulfillment of them on earth.

Let us rejoice for His Kingdom cannot be shaken and will never fail. He is King and all other kingdoms will pass away.

Kathi’s words are always very encouraging and go right along with what I’m going through.

Hope is more important than we realize. It helps us hold on until faith becomes sight.

Keep your hope alive, and make sure your hope is in the Kingdom of God, not the things of this world!

Keep Your Marriage Strong By Meeting His/Her Needs

In the book His Needs, Her Needs, Willard Harley teaches couples how to keep the loving feeling alive by meeting each other’s greatest emotional needs.

In general, a woman’s basic emotional needs are:

    1. Affection
    2. Conversation
    3. Honesty and openness
    4. Financial support
    5. Family commitment

In general, a man’s basic emotional needs are:

    1. Sexual fulfillment
    2. Recreational companionship
    3. Physical attractiveness
    4. Domestic support
    5. Admiration

It’s important for each spouse to go through the list and identify their five most important needs. Go through both lists because some men may not feel the need for all of the things on the “men’s list” and same for the women.

Dr. Harley says that “when a woman is married to a man who has learned to meet her most important emotional needs, she’ll find him irresistible. Love units are deposited in her Love Bank in such great numbers that she finds herself helplessly in love.” And it works the same way for a man.

He gives a definition of care as: “The willingness to change your personal habits to meet the emotional needs of your spouse and to make sure those habits are effective.”

A good quote from Dr. Harley is:

“Growing apart simply means that a couple has not grown together.”

    Promises that embody what a husband and wife should expect of each other:

    1. Promise of care: I promise to meet your most important emotional needs.

    2. Promise of time: I promise to give you my undivided attention at least 15 hours each week.

    3. Promise of protection: I promise to avoid being the cause of your unhappiness.

He emphasizes several times in the books, His Needs, Her Needs and Love Busters the importance of couples setting aside 15 hours each week of Undivided Attention. This seems pretty far-fetched to me at this time, but I’m talking to my husband about this.

Dr. Harley says that it takes time to deposit enough love units to create the feeling of love. He says that compatibility is created. He views marriage as a profession. He says “the skills I learn are designed to meet my spouse’s most important emotional needs, and if I’m successful, she’ll be in love with me.”

Here is a more thorough treatment of the 10 basic emotional needs that Dr. Harley has identified.

    Her Needs

    Affection. Her husband tells her that he loves her with words, cards, flowers, gifts, and common courtesies. His hugs and kisses are symbols of his willingness to be there for her when she needs him and that he is deeply concerned about her welfare His acts of affection are repeated daily, creating an environment that clearly and repeatedly expresses his love for her.

    Conversation.He sets aside time every day to talk to her. They may talk about events in their lives, their children, their feelings, or their plans. But whatever the topic, she enjoys the conversation because it is never judgmental and always informative and constructive. She talks to him as much as she would like, and he responds with interest.

    Honesty and openness.He tells her everything about himself, leaving nothing out that might later surprise her. He describes his positive and negative feelings, events of his past, his daily schedule, and his plans for the future. He never leaves her with a false impression and is truthful about his thoughts, feelings, intentions, and behavior.

    Financial support.He assumes the responsibility to house, feed, and clothe his family. If his income is insufficient to provide essential support, he resolves the problem by upgrading his skills to increase his salary. He does not work long hours, keeping himself from his wife and family, but he is able to provide necessary support by working a forty to forty-five-hour week. While he encourages his wife to pursue a career (if she chooses)*, he does not depend on her salary for family living expenses.

    Family commitment.He commits sufficient time and energy to the moral and educational development of the children. He reads to them, engages in sports with them, and takes them on frequent outings. He reads books and attends lectures with his wife on the subject of child development so that they will do a good job training their children. He and his wife discuss training methods and objectives until they agree. He does not proceed with any plan of training or discipline without her approval. He recognizes that his care of the children is critically important to her.

    His Needs
    Sexual fulfillment.His wife meets this need by becoming a terrific sexual partner. She studies her own sexual response to recognize and understand what brings out the best in her; then she shares this information with him, and together they learn to have a sexual relationship that both find enjoyable.

    Recreational companionship.She develops an interest in the recreational activities he enjoys most and tries to become proficient at them. If she finds she cannot enjoy them, she encourages him to consider other activities that they can enjoy together. She becomes his favorite recreational companion, and he associates her with his most enjoyable moments of relaxation.

    Physical attractiveness.She keeps herself physically fit with diet and exercise, and she wears her hair, makeup, and clothes in a way that he finds attractive and tasteful. He is attracted to her in private and proud of her in public.

    Domestic support.She creates a home that offers him a refuge from the stresses of life. She manages household responsibilities in a way that encourages him to spend time at home enjoying his family.

    Admiration.She understands and appreciates him more than anyone else. She reminds him of his value and achievements and helps him maintain self-confidence. She avoids criticizing him. She is proud of him, not out of duty, but from a profound respect for the man she chose to marry.

In Love Busters, Dr. Harley says something that I don’t agree with personally. He says that children are hard on marriages. I believe that children fulfill a marriage. He even says that the divorce rate increases with the number of children born to a marriage. I find that hard to believe. If we are putting God first in our lives and letting Him have His way, He will use our children to refine and strengthen us and purge us of our selfishness. And children cement our relationships and give us even more in common than we would otherwise have.

But his ideas about meeting each other’s needs resonate with me, and I’m trying to apply some of these principles so that I can take care of my most important relationship after my relationship with God. I never want my husband to feel neglected or mistreated by me. I want us to always have a passionate marriage full of loving care and commitment. I want my husband’s heart to always trust me. I want to always have his heart. I want our marriage to be a depiction of the relationship between Jesus and His Bride.

God Wants Us to Know How to Hear His Voice!

This topic is near and dear to my heart, and interestingly enough, today’s devotional from David Wilkerson is about hearing God’s voice. I believe God is letting us know that this is important to Him, too!

TO KNOW HIS VOICE

Those who truly know God have learned how to recognize his voice above all others. He wants you to be absolutely convinced that he desires to talk to you—to tell you things you’ve never seen or heard before.

I believe that three things are required of those who would hear God’s voice:

1. An unshakeable confidence that God is wanting to speak to you. You have to be fully persuaded and convinced of this. Indeed, he is a speaking God—and he wants you to know his voice so you can do his will. What God tells you will never go beyond the boundaries of Scripture.

2. Quality time and quietness. You need to be willing to shut yourself in with God and let all other voices hush away. True, God speaks to us all day long. But whenever he has wanted to build something into my life, his voice has come only after I had shut out every other voice but his.

3. Asking in faith. We do not obtain anything from God (including hearing his voice) unless we truly believe that he is able to convey his mind to us—to enable us to understand his perfect will!

God is not a tease! He will not allow the enemy to deceive you. When God speaks, peace follows—and Satan cannot counterfeit that peace!

“But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers” (John 10:2-5).

Hearing from God: Knowing the Difference Between Your Spirit’s Voice and Your Soul’s Voice

Gloria Copeland addresses the issue of hearing from God and dividing between soul and spirit in an article in the Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine issue for Oct. 2010.

I wanted to put together some of the highlights from this article that might help you if you’re really trying to learn how to hear from God clearly, like I am!

Gloria says:

Most of the time I would hear my own spirit speaking to my soul, which is my mind, will and emotions. The audible voice of the Lord is rare in most of our lives. Almost every leading we will receive in everyday life will be a prompting, an impression, a thought, an inward witness, a leading or an unction from our spirit.

The reason it sounds like us is because it is ourselves that we hear. The Holy Spirit communicates with our spirit, and our spirit prompts, or enlightens, our mind.

When we start our day by praying the will of God by the Holy Spirit, many times we will have already prayed concerning the problems we will face during the day. We will perceive an interpretation, a prompting, an impression, a word or a sentence that will enlighten us and give us the answer to the situation. It will be so natural to us that we might not even realize it is the Holy Spirit leading and revealing Himself to us. Things that would have been stumbling blocks to us before will now be handled with ease by hearing and obeying the will of God as the Holy Spirit leads us.

I don’t think there is any way to cultivate this communion between the Holy Spirit and our spirit, and between our spirit and our mind, except by spending time in prayer and in the Word of God. Only the Word of God will separate or differentiate between the soul and the spirit. Our soul relies on natural knowledge to form its opinions until natural knowledge is replaced by the supernatural knowledge of God. In Romans 12:2 this process of replacing the thoughts of natural, carnal man with the thoughts of God is called “the renewing of your mind.”

You might be asking, “How can I tell the difference and be sure when it is God or just me?” You will have to begin a quest for the things of God. The Scripture lets us know that if we seek God, we will find Him. Spiritual things do not come without serious effort.

We are told in Hebrews 11:6 that “without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” We know that we have to approach God in faith – that is, without being able to see proof in the natural realm. We must learn to believe Him without seeing Him. From that verse we also find another key to knowing God: He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

There is no selfish, easy way to walk with God while we live in the earth and in a natural body. We will do it God’s way or not at all.

Remember, God’s Words comes to us in two ways: (1) by the written Word, and (2) by the Holy Spirit speaking to our spirit. We begin with the assurance that God’s written Word is our sure word. The Holy Spirit will never lead you contrary to the written Word of God. If you receive a prompting that is in opposition to the written Word, you will know it is not from the Holy Spirit.

Simply ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to follow Him. Give Him control of your life and He will reveal to you the will of God, step by step. He knows how to bring you to maturity. All He requires of you is your attention and your obedience.
