WE NEED ELIJAH'S
by Pastor Bob Hallstrom

Today the world faces its greatest crisis as most of the human race has been enslaved by the vilest tyranny in all history. Those who do not think they are enslaved to their governments, in reality cringe in panic from their government and are too fearful to make any defense. And what do they do? Well they sit around and hope for a change of heart on the part of their satanic leaders who all administer some form of socialism. And yes, I am including the United States of America.

I said that the world faces a crisis but my brethren, our nation was BORN IN CRISIS! Our forefathers founded this nation as a dozen tiny villages along the whole Atlantic Coast. They faced the crisis of how to survive a bitter winter without enough food on hand. They faced the crisis of learning how to live in a strange land under conditions none of them had faced before. They faced a long series of Indian wars more bitter and cruel than any wars in our day.

Today we fear the Atom bomb. But what bomb can kill you any more dead than the Indians' tomahawks and knives? The Socialistic nations of the world vastly outnumber us today. But the Indians outnumbered our ancestors 100 to one, and their raids threatened the life of every man, woman and child in every settlement.

What did these ancestors of ours do? Did they compromise moral principle for doubtful "expediency?" Did they yield one inch of ground to the enemy? Never! or as Paul says "GOD FORBID!" Oh yes, they sometimes lost a battle or two; but they always recovered what they had settled. If our forefathers had been the kind of men that all too many of their descendants are today, we would all still be peasants, grubbing a poor and meager living out of the fields of Europe.

How did we grow from these few hundreds of people to 250,000,000 people, occupying half a continent? When did our wealth grow from not enough to eat for 50 people to in excess of 500 billion dollars per year income? How did our power grow from a dozen villages fighting for their very lives, to might enough to dominate the entire world if we want to and if we had the moral courage to do so? Was this chain of events in our history accident or pure luck? NEITHER! IT WAS BY THE HAND OF GOD BECAUSE WE WERE A CHRISTIAN NATION!

The Bible says that we would become a great nation. You see, in Genesis 35:11, God promised our Israelite ancestors about 3500 years ago, that we should become "a nation and a company of nations," and so we have. In addition, the same people who settled this great nation also make up all the nations of Western and Middle Europe.

In Isaiah 54:4 God also said that we shall

"...inherit the nations, and make the desolate places to be inhabited..."

...and we did it! Compare our once-desolate Southwestern States with similar lands of other nations; compare British South- Africa with the Congo, Ethiopia and Egypt; compare our development of these lands with the blight other nations have brought in their search for plunder. And some would call us exploiters!

In Genesis 22:17 and 24:60, God said that we shall "possess the gates of cur enemies." This is in reference to the great waterways of the world. Our fleets, with those of our ally and sister nation, Britain, have commanded and closed to our enemies, all the great waterways of the world, in two World Wars. Yes, there were battles in some places; but when the smoke cleared away, who had command?

Why have these things come to pass? Well in Isaiah God has promised us:

"Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

"Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Isaiah 54:15-17

So when nations want to fight against God's people, which side is doomed? Certainly not God's people. This is the heritage of Israel. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and "their righteousness is of Me, saith the Lord."

This is not a time to be desperate. That is the time to be STRONG and FEARLESS as the prophet Elijah. In his time, the nation had fallen into a terrible state. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel ruled the land; and Jezebel had brought in 50 priests of Baal -- sort of like the evil aliens who swarmed among us under the infamous New Deal administrations. In those days and even now all true patriots were and are the target for smear and terror. Remember that Elijah thought he stood alone. Elijah told God:

"They have killed all Thy prophets. I alone am left ... and they seek my life."

To which God replied:

"I have left 7,000 men who have not bent the knee to Baal."

That's not very many in a whole nation, you say? Yes, that's true -- but according to God it was ENOUGH!

So now what did Elijah DO? Did he keep quiet? Did he dodge the issues? Did he avoid anything controversial? No sir, Elijah started to LIBERATE HIS NATION FOR GOD and because GOD WAS WITH HIM, HE SUCCEEDED. He cleansed his land. God took him up into heaven; but God also promised to send his spirit back to strengthen us in this day.

The prophet Isaiah asked: "where is the Lord God of Elijah?" I tell you that today we need not ask "where is the Lord God of Elijah," the question is, WHERE ARE THE ELIJAHS OF THE LORD GOD?

WE NEED ELIJAHS. Elijah had courage. Elijah fought corruption in high places. He fearlessly gave warning that EVIL ALWAYS BRINGS DISASTER. He was not afraid of being smeared. He didn't think that he needed unity with evil. Elijah didn't pussyfoot around and use mealy-mouthed evasions to avoid offending the weak and the cowardly.

I want you to know something. Today, YOU AND I CAN BE AS ELIJAH WAS. We can have the spirit of Elijah. We, too, can arouse the 7,000 men who have not surrendered to evil by bowing their knee to Baal. We too can cleanse our land and restore it to its rightful place ln the world. The Bible tells us what to do:

"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." Isaiah 58:1

We need to show our people how far the fuzzy-minded do- gooders, the treacherous internationalists, and the traitorous socialists have led us down the road to destruction. We need to point out the way back to the form of government created by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. We need to bring back the real America we all knew and loved -- and still love enough to fight for it!

Dangerous, you say? So what? The only alternatives are hopeless dishonor, slavery, and death. I will tell you something else: trying to "play it safe" by compromising with evil has never brought anything but total disaster. Psalm 118:6-7 tells us:

"The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

"The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me."

And in Philippians 1:28, we are told:

"And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God."

In other words, never be scared of your opponents, not even for one second, for your fearlessness is a clear omen of ruin and destruction for them.

NOW IS THE TIME TO FORGET TIMIDITY. RISE UP IN HONEST WRATH. Put up no longer with cowards and traitors in high positions of power in our government. Strengthen the hand of the real Americans in Washington. Lift up your voice like a trumpet everywhere: in your clubs, in your churches, over the backyard fence, everywhere. Arouse your cousins, your nephews, and your friends and neighbors. Those who have not bent the knee to Baal are still enough whether 7,000 or 7. Remember God plus 1 is a majority. LET'S BRING BACK THE REAL AMERICA. THE WORD OF GOD IS ON OUR SIDE!
