"God is Our Refuge" - L. Craig Martindale - April 25, 1999

Kosovo

Of course, the International situation in Kosovo, where our military have been enlisted in the fight, is going on. Ground troops have been involved in terms of bombing. Our nation is so entwined with the United Nations decisions. Our men and women get pulled into these situations. It's so much like desert storm again. Our national leaders have given us no honest explanation why our military had anything to do with the civil strife. Those people have hated each other for centuries. They have been killing each other for centuries. We think they should stop and like each other. Nothing we do will change those inbred deeply seated hatreds. Nothing we can do will change the seed of the serpent operation that foster those hatreds. It doesn't take a genius to see what the Adversary is trying to bring to pass here.

I've already heard it mentioned that a World War III is coming.

We are pulled in because of our commitment. Spending our tax money and their lives, to help people that have nothing to do with our U. S. sovereignty, our interest, and our freedom. Nothing to do with ensuring domestic tranquillity. Our tax money to protect strangers. "Our nations leaders take the lives of our men and women turning them into soldiers for hire, for mercenaries, guns for hire. There is nothing about conflict that has anything to do with protecting the nations they wanted to protect. If nothing else, live fire might really count someday. We send our sons and daughters to fight and die for strangers. It's idiotic. It's immoral. It's national blindness.

Littleton, Colorado

Of course, you are aware of the tragedy that took place just a few hours from where we were last week. Littleton, Colorado has had that Word held forth for 15 years. We had a twig fellowships in close proximity. There were no believers at that school and no believers' lives were threatened. I have taught the Word in that city! My parents lived there for eleven or twelve years. We have had WOWs in that city. We have had Way Disciples there two years ago. We had Way Corps witnessing teams go in and out of that place for years.

The possession started months before if anyone would have had the guts and resolve to take it seriously. Even the early reports said that a young man there was threatened by these insane little nerds.

It looks to me more and more when the vicious insane inexplicable crimes take place the Internet will be right in the middle or it. It is used to fester insane thoughts. It is used for insane little nerds to get in touch with each other. It is used to fester this kind of evil.

Sure, there are good things, I'm sure. This is information that can be garnered for specific purposes.

But what they call surfing the net where they mindlessly look for something to catch their interest. It's devil spirit power, fiery darts of the wicked He is the prince of the power of the air. He can use any element of the sense realm. It requires control and discipline to get anything good out of it.

Now the whole world sends condolences and quote prayers unquote. What good are those prayers? Now all those preachers out they come. Like flies on manure. (laughter) All the preachers. They are all over the T.V. They LOVE it! The ministers and the media love death. It's there business. The media loves it. They salivate for this thing. You can almost see them licking their chops. So do the ministers that love death. They LOVE it! They got more people going to church than ever. They lecture people telling them what to do. Where were they before? If there are men of God in that community why aren't they being asked how come you couldn't keep this from happening?

Y2K

If you are armed you must be prepared to kill somebody. Absolutely.

Any man that's not willing to give his life to protect his wife and kids is not a man.

It doesn't say "Thou shalt not kill" but "Thou shalt not murder." Murder is devil spirit possession.

Conclusion

Colorado voted against the concealed weapon act. That's the opposite. Run it through faster. The most tragic thing was the SWAT team waiting behind the trucks. What lives did they save? None. I went back in my mind how many years I've taught in Littleton, Colorado. We've witnessed a thousand times in that city. If anyone would have believed one jot and tittle, it could have been stopped.

The PTA ought to organize armed guards where parents that have the ability to handle weapons volunteer so many hours to walk the halls. Put mental detectors in every school and everyone walks though them every day. Match fire with fire. That's the world we live in.
