Be Thankful and Do Not Fear

Be Thankful!

What are you thankful for this thanksgiving? Are there things you are not thankful for? It is so easy sometimes to be concerned about our have-nots and not really inventory the good things going on in our favor.

Here are some things I am thankful for and items I do not take for granted:

1. The great marriage of 43 years that Sandee and I have, 30 of them Christ centered.
2. 4 wonderful children all with God fearing mates.
3. 8 awesome grandchildren with God loving, Christian parents.
4. A loving savior, Jesus Christ, who the Bible says will never leave me nor forsake me, or my precious family!
5. Freedom in our nation to be who I want to be.
6. Freedom to fellowship with whom I want to spend time with.
7. Freedom to worship where I want to worship.
8. Freedom to minister to whom God leads me to.
9. Freedom to write this email without being censored for subject matter.
10. Freedom to own and possess rifles, shotguns and pistols.
11. Freedom to get on a highway of my choice and travel anywhere I chose.
12. Freedom for my grandchildren to be educated where their parents chose.
13. Freedom to vote and voice my opinions to those in leadership.
14. Freedom to start, own and run any business I so desire.

One email I received today was from a man who said he was thankful for the change coming with the new president. I agree that we need change but the change that is needed and imperative is not the one represented by the apparent new president, but something quite different. The change that is important for every one of us who claims that we love God and His son, Jesus Christ, is to not take Him for granted. Even for those of us in ministry, it is not church as usual that will bring about the future most of us desire. This is a very critical time to focus our lives on what it is God wants for us and to remove ourselves from the fear planted and watered by our massive media.

Often people mention the trials of Job when things are not going well. If you carefully read the first chapters of Job you find that he was constantly worried and fretting about his family and his fortune. Then finally he admits, “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come upon me.” Job3:25.

We must not be “Jobs” at this very churning time in our nation. We must not let fear and worry dominate, consume and direct our lives nor influence our decisions. Even Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

Even if you are already a believer, why not speak this out right now, “Jesus, I want you to be my Lord and Savior.” Please lead today by your Spirit, Lord, in the way that I should go so that I may be the person you want me to be and accomplish the things you want me to accomplish. I refuse to fear or worry about the future but rejoice that my name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.

If you have personal concerns and need agreement in prayer, send us those concerns so Sandee and I can pray for them.

May God’s Blessings be obvious to you this day,
Gary Coe

If you have not read my blog, Polarization Part I, http://yourfreedomalert.blogspot.com/2008/10/polarization-part-i.html

POLARIZATION PART I

NOTE: This is not a Democrat vs. Republican appeal but rather information every Christian must hear.

I am appealing to all Christians in America in an hour that may be darker than you think. America is severely off course and wrong polarization is a major factor. Please pay great attention to this word, polarization. I am not referring to the polar ice caps or polar bears but rather choosing sides in a certain situation. More than that, it has to do with how we think and the basis for which we make decisions. Bluntly stated, Christians are way too polarized in their political decisions. This polarization may cause close-mindedness and shortsightedness. The question is whose side are you on and why?

The Bible tells us in Romans 8:17 that we are to be led by the Spirit of God. Thus if we can only be led by what Momma said or by what keeps us from buckling under peer pressure, we are no different from an insecure teenager who follows the crowd, just to be accepted. The liberal news media, CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times and many others, loves to intimidate people into believing like they do. They present “their” news as fact, but in actuality they are simply presenting their view of the news; not always actual fact. Christians must wake up.

When was the last time you made a subjective decision based on new information and not simply on your “mindset”? I grew up in a very liberal household where there was only one political party and the other party or parties were to be hated. In fact if you were a Republican, you were probably stupid, had 3rd degree brain damage, and were genetically short in reasoning. As my wife and I grew in life and entered the business world, we began to see some problems with how we thought. I am not sold out to any particular political party; however, if the Democrat party is your choice and you are a Christian, you must be made aware of some things. According to Jesus, a true Christian is one who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; thus, becomes “born again”. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world”.

One must next become aware of what an atheist is. An atheist is a person who does not believe in God at all. Thus, total darkness. The Bible says, “What fellowship has light with dark?” which means simply Christianity and Atheism do not mix. One cannot be a Jesus believer and an atheist at the same time.

True socialism is a godless and an atheistic system of controlling people through government. Only the elite are allowed to govern in this system. Okay, so that sounds ridiculously obvious; however, today’s Democrat party is a party that is committed to socialist (atheistic) views. One may say, “well I know so and so, who is a Democrat, and they are good Christians.” So and so may believe and say they are Christians but that does not make it right for them or you to mix the Gospel of Jesus Christ with socialism, NO WAY! Can a Democrat be a Christian? Of course they can; however, the association is like baked Alaska, a desert made of ice cream baked in an oven. Comparing the ice cream to the Christian, you may melt very rapidly in the heat of the association. Ovens have a way of destroying ice cream. Jesus said the branches look like the tree. Ever hear the statement, “The nut does not fall far from the tree?” Here, Atheism is the tree.

Do all Republicans walk in the light? No Way. There are Republican leaders who are too corrupt to be identified with light. There will soon be a whole new Christian based movement in America. It will NOT resemble the shambles that both political parties are in at the present time. There will be more on this in later writings; however, you personally need to get involved at all costs regardless of who wins this current election. Our nation is where it is today largely because Christian concentrated too much on being Sunday religious and not enough on being concerned about the world around them.

A few decades ago, the Democrat party was much like today’s moderate Republicans and they held some Christian views. Are Republicans all Christians? Heavens no! The polarization is wrong when there are only two things you can be in this world, either Democrat of Republican. The true polarization that Jesus spoke of is light versus dark, the two of them are opposites and do not mix. The bottom line is this, if you want to call yourself a Christian, you must head for the light, not the darkness. Jesus is the tree and we are the branches!

Let us look at some choices of light and darkness:

Is killing a baby for any reason an example of light or darkness? Note: Of the 50 million abortions committed in American, less than 1% was for rape or incest reasons. Senator Obama says he is a Christian, but is for abortion and killing babies outright if they survive the abortion. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/08/20/obamas-support-for-infanticide-breaks-into-mainstream-media/
The total sum of the Democrat Senators and Democrats in the House of Representatives and some Republicans are pro-abortion. Those people will fight with all their might against bringing a conservative constitutional judge to the courts that will deny abortion. If Obama becomes President, then there could be 3 new liberal judges appointed. Wholesale abortion?

Is terminating the life of an elderly or disabled person an example of light or darkness? Check the 10 commandments, it is murder. Senator Obama says he is a Christian and is for euthanasia. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1977276/posts
Wake up Christian! Hitler had this same charisma and people trusted him.


Is removing any reference to God or Jesus Christ from our school textbooks an example of light or darkness? Check out this link, Public Schools Teach the ABCs of Islam, for some alarming information, http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/460652.aspx


Thanks for reading this blog. I invite your comments.

Christians Must Fight Back Now!

Dear Friends,
Monday of this week there occurred a victory for the American people. Monday we the people found out our emails, faxes and phone calls pay off. Together we can make a difference. Thank you for those of who responded to my email by contacting your congressmen, the President and the Vice President. I will be sending more emails and information over the next several days, weeks, months and maybe years. There is an urgent situation facing all of us but the fight will go on for some time.

I personally would like to see the Christians in America rise up with strength and get some fight in their bones. There is no superior race of the “learned” who should be automatically running our lives. Sometimes we get the idea that there are these folks who just wound up somewhere and they make all the decisions. Not true. “The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” they say, so how about becoming the “squeaky wheel”. The idea of making noise was just proven to be effective by your emails to leaders in Washington, D.C. this week, thank you. Now we all need to do more in expressing our opinions and making demands on what we know to be “right”.

There is a very serious attack on the Christian voice in our land. We must fight back and do it now.

If Barack Obama gets elected there will be an all out attack on conservative radio and an even bigger attack on Christian television with the help of the liberal congress. The Democrats intend to abolish the conservative voice and the Christian voice. Go to http://www.aclj.org/ for much more information of this issue.

If Barack Obama wins you will not be getting a true Christian leader. None of his associations would appear to be the sort that you would want your Christian daughter or son to marry, see the Ayres connection

If Barack Obama gets elected you can say goodbye to a conservative majority in The Supreme Court of the United States, and hello to a liberal court. Do you have some idea what the means? It means among other things, that abortion will take on a whole new level of killing babies. Senator Obama is the most liberal senator ever and is totally in favor of infanticide (killing babies that escape abortion). See article by Jill Stanek, http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51121. Also visit this sight, http://hotair.com/archives/2008/08/20/obamas-support-for-infanticide-breaks-into-mainstream-media/ which references the Washington Post.

There are numerous accounts of infanticide being practiced in China due to the government limitations of the “one child” rule, see http://www.truthinmedia.org/Truthinmedia/Bulletins2000/tim2000-8-8.html. Also North Korea, see, http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F00EEDF113DF933A25755C0A9649C8B63

That same spirit is pushing very hard for euthanasia, which is the killing of the elderly at will. Here is the Wikipedia information:

“Euthanasia (literally "good death" in Ancient Greek) refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner. As of 2008, some forms of euthanasia are legal in Belgium,[1] Luxemburg,[2] The Netherlands,[1] Switzerland,[1] the U.S. state of Oregon,[3], the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain)[4][5] and Thailand.”

The following link is to evidence that Obama has no problem with euthanizing adults or babies based on statements concerning as he debated Democratic rival Hillary Clinton when he said, “…my biggest mistake was voting with a unanimous Senate to help save Terri Schiavo”, and his stand above on the infanticide issue. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1977276/posts

Finally, you must be aware of the activity of some of our so-called Christian leaders. On September 25, 2008 a group honored an enemy to America, Israel and Christianity, that being Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This man is a present day Hitler. The primary groups represented were the World Council of Churches, a list of which can be found on this link:
http://www.oikoumene.org/en/member-churches/regions/north-america/united-states-of-america.html , plus certain Quakers, Mennonites and some Jewish leaders. According to their press release, “The encounter is co-sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee, the Mennonite Central Committee, the Quaker United Nations Office, Religions for Peace and the WCC's UN Liaison Office.” http://www.wfn.org/2008/09/msg00101.html

In the referenced article you will see that they also in that meeting honored the Muslim holiday, Ramadan. This meeting is not only disgusting but smells of cooperating with our very worst enemy, one who wants us all dead and our nation destroyed.

In 1978 My wife and I became born again believers. We were at the time attending a major denominational church (note: we did not get saved in that church, nobody did). We wanted to do right so we pledged to give a certain sum of money to them for the year. In their literature, they indicated that they belonged to the World Council of Churches. We began to do research on what that organization stood for only to find, to our dismay, that they funded many gorilla and terrorist organizations. It was the beginning of the end in that relationship for us. You may wish to check the member list to see if you unknowingly are contributing to events like the one in New York on September 25th. We have been told that the whole event then turned into a fundraiser for Barack Obama, although I do not have confirmation of that at this writing.


I am asking you to join the fight to take back our America. Christians have sat back too long hoping their prayers would be enough. I know that “the effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much:” but now it is time for action. Many soldiers have given their lives for our freedom and perhaps many Christians need to step into the same mode of dedication. Whatever we have done in the past has not been enough or we would not be in the shape we are in today. Nathan Hale said prior to his execution by the British, “I regret that I only have one life to give for my country”.

As a Viet Nam War combat veteran, I know about blood shed. Right now I am launching a campaign, with the help of Sandee, my family and friends, to ignite a fire in the Body of Christ to defeat the enemy. The enemy must know that we are alive and we are his foe. This coming election is only the beginning, but is a major first step. We must win and since God is for us, who can be against us?
