And He spoke a parable to them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to give up- Luke 18:1

Why I Believe The Bible
The devil comes to challenge that belief just like he tempted Jesus in Mathew 4 with, "if you really be the son of God...". Having been around this earth for some reasonable time enough to familiarize with certain things in life, time enough to become a husband and father, experience the tribulations consistent with the christian faith in a perverse and wicked world, and privileged to achieve success as a physician-thus not lacking in knowlegde and understanding, the Lord through His Spirit in me, has always reminded me of these foundational truths which are found primarily in His word:
1. Genesis 8:22- "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest; winter and summer; heat and cold; day and night, shall not cease". It has not and will not change until the Lord Jesus comes back! It will "never" change as far as human existence on the earth is concerned!!! Can anyone change the positions and functions of the sun and moon? Has any modern or ancient power been able to stop winter following summer? Has any renown scientist been able to grow the human fetus under one month? A normal pregnancy still takes about 40 weeks from seed-time to harvest!
2. God set the days and years: In Genesis 1:14 we read that God made the days and years too! He created 2012 and every other year. These settings will never change until heaven and earth pass away!
3. A time set for everything: In Ecclessiates 2:2 God set a time to be born and a time to die! This is very certain and unchangeable! Births are occurring all over the world, so are deaths! The CIA World Factbook has the current birth and death rates as19 per 1000 and 8 per 1000 respectively with a net growth. Who can change these settings? Not even the best technological advances of our first world or the finest ingenuity of medical science or the great military strength of our superpower USA- can change these things! The best Presidents and world leaders live, rule and die. Ronald Reagon lived, ruled and died. Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddaffi all lived, perpertrated terror and now they are gone! The poor and the rich live and die?
4. The formation and degradation of man: God formed man out of the earth in Genesis 2:7 and man returns to dust(earth when he dies and is buried or cremated)-Ecclesiastes 12:7. This too, will never change until the end of time. Please note that it is written in Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed unto man to die once,and after that, judgement"!
Who can be stronger than the Almighty God who created all things by and for Jesus Christ? I believe in Jesus Christ. It is written in Colossians 1 verse 16, "For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven and that are in the earth, visible and invisible; whether they be thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him". The one who gives me breath everyday! I humbly bow my knees in worship of Him through Christ.So help me God!

Prime Minister David Cameron's Declaration
British Prime Minister David Cameron will go down in history as the only known national leader to publicly acknowledge and declare his country as a christian nation. During a speech commemorating the 400th anniversary year of the King James' Bible at the Christ's Church of Christ, Oxford, he is said to have declared, "We are a Christian country". He explained that the Bible has given Britain a set of values and morals which it should actively defended!
I hope the rest of the West, and indeed, the world, can learn something from this. Here we are in America not wanting to hear anything about God or Jesus Christ, having removed prayers from public life! We have forsaken the very God who has so much blessed us as a nation,a superpower to reckon with like none other in human history! Jesus said in John 15:5..."for without me, ye can do nothing!"In Deuteronomy 32:15-22, we read of how Israel forsook God: "But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.And the LORD saw, and spurned, Because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.And He said: `I will hide My face from them,I will see what their end shall be; For they are a very froward generation,Children in whom is no faithfulness.They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god;They have provoked Me with their vanities; And I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people;
I will provoke them with a vile nation."
In 2 Chronicles 26:16, we also read about King Uzziah who forsook God: "But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
America must learn from history. Our founding fathers were devoted to God and trusted in Jesus Christ to lead them. The result of that trust is this our superpower nation! Do we now turn away from the hand that made us, claiming we can do without God? Is the moral decadence and evil in Britain that prompted David Cameron to declare Britain a christian nation a few days ago not happening in America? The homicides, the missing persons, the manipulation of others, the moral decline and fast-disappearing values that make for the wholesomeness and respect of a nation? The Scriptures declare it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
I am not ashamed to declare my faith in God through Jesus Christ, by His grace. David Cameron's bold declaration of the faith should serve as a powerful encouragement to Christians all over the world, to stand up for their faith and trust in our GOD!
It must be noted that despite all our technological advances as a first world nation, we have not been able to change the foundational settings of God in Genesis 8: 22: While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, heat and cold; winter and summer; day and night, shall not cease. We have also not been able to change the order of God in Ecclesiastes 3.. a time to be born, and a time to die! We can never be stronger than the God who made us and all these things. We must not allow strangers to dictate our stand on the solid rock-Christ Jesus!
AMERICA MUST RETURN TO HER GOD!

Emergency Preparedness Against Bioterrorism
We really need to return back to God, having faith in Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. While I am 100% pro emergency preparedness, Proverbs 21 verse 31 declares that safety is of the Lord, though the horse is prepared for battle! How prepared are we against food bioterrorism, for instance? While America has been the greatest exporter of the gospel of Jesus Christ, yet she no longer trusts in God. We still have that initial inscription-"In God We Trust", but our hearts are very very far from the ultimate source of our blessing and protection. What happened on 9/11 should forever remind us that safety is of the Lord. We trust in the superiority of our technological advances, but the word of God declares in Isaiah 31 verse 1, "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they are strong: but they took not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!"
We no longer pray because we can use technology to get what we want from whom we want and appear rich. Jesus spent much time alone with God in prayers in order to fulfill his mission on earth, yet many churches and pastors have no time to pray. Pastors no longer bless their congregations and have a protection prayer covering before service dismissals yet expect Psalm 91 protection! Spiritual authority has disappeared, and taking authority over the devil or terrorists and their plots sounds crazy to many church goers!
The recently ended 9 year war in Iraq(and Afganistan ) resulted directly from 9/11 terror. Our economy is down consequent to these military engagements. AMERICA MUST RETURN TO FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD for us to last and shine longer as the superpower! It is time the White House recognizes the need to operate under a strong and reliable prayer umbrella by raising up an army of Prayer Warriors functioning under its roof to watch over the land alongside emergency preparations against bioterrorism!

Assurance
"Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My Name HE WILL GIVE YOU".John 16 verse 23.
These are the words of the person who, without our asking, willingly LAID DOWN HIS LIFE for you and me. How can such a one be deceiving us with his own words! Is it possible that He who called the devil the father of all lies in John 8:44, and the deciver of the whole world in Revelation 12:9, to be lying to us? Is it possible for the one by whom all things- both visible and invisible, were created in Colossians 1: 16-20, to deceive us with empty promises? I DON'T THINK SO! I believe His words. I stand on His promises and my faith is made strong by this word until I see, hold and enjoy the answer to my prayers. Though it tarrys, I WAIT FOR IT and ask Him to give me the grace to STAND until I see the VICTORY! Amen!
