From My Heart
To say that our world has gone crazy is one of the biggest understatements ever spoken! The Democrat Party has suddenly gone all in with Communism! Oh, they aren’t going to call it Communism, but that is what it is. They call it Democratic Socialism, but that is just a ruse. In their polling data, “Socialism” polls better than “Communism.” What they want for America is Communism, which is everything owned by central government. If these people take control of both branches of Congress, our country is going to go through such a dramatic transformation; we won’t recognize America by the next election in 2028.
It is so important that every eligible voter goes to the polls to cast your vote to announce to the liberal left that you are opposed to America becoming a Communist nation. I do not believe the American people want to relinquish their wallets, their freedoms, their health insurance, or their nation’s borders to the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! To show you where the Democrat Party is today, their leading candidate for President in 2028 is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So, the people of America must overwhelmingly go to the polls and make a positive statement that we don’t want to become another third-world nation, like all the other Communist countries across the globe. The numbers prove there are more conservative people who live in America than radical liberal people. That means if those of us who love freedom, who love the Constitution, and who love the American way of life get out to the polls on November 3, we can make a huge statement to keep our nation a representative republic.
Former President Obama is going to go campaign for the radical Islamist El Sayed in Michigan, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat. If you do not think the Democrats are “all in” with this marriage, this union of Communism and radical Islam, then ask yourself why Obama would stand beside the man who believes America deserved the 9/11 attacks. I would never want to even be on the same platform with a person who believes the Islamic radical America ideology, but Obama is more than happy to show his endorsement of this man! The Democrats are all in on this stuff and the transformation of America. Again, if you do not believe it, just look at the voting records of the Democrats in Congress! They are united in supporting these terrible policies which will destroy the America we know!
We have also seen several Republicans in Congress who have regularly voted with the Democrats. Most of them in the House of Representatives lost in the primary elections, but some Senate members who have proven themselves to be RHINOs are more difficult to vote out of office.
Let’s pray for our nation and pray the Lord will bless this country with His mighty hand. The Psalmist often speaks of the “hand of God” leading, blessing, and empowering His people. The picture of the “right hand” is the idea of the hand of authority, or the hand of power! We certainly want the hand of the Lord to bless our country. We know the Lord has a plan for the end times, and it has always scared me that America is not found in prophecy! I believe we are seeing the rise of radical Islam all over Europe and America. Is it possible we are going to fall to this new political marriage between Islam and Communism, and thus America imploding? It very well just might be where we are in the plan of God for these last days.
Have a great day.
Pastor Norris
