Scripture
“If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anythingworthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one canhand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
~Acts 25:11, NASB
Quote
“Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.”
~George Washington Carver
Hate is a dreadful thing. It can be frightening to say the least. It is very bullish and intimidating. Most people, and Donald Trump is an exception, cannot handle a constant barrage of hate. Without question, Jesus is to be admired more than any man because he faced the hate of the evil and vile Sanhedrin. He sat his face toward Jerusalem and did not look back. I will tell you up front, I don’t do that well with hate. It unsettles me, disturbes me and can be down right intimidating. I would never consider myself in the same league as the Apostle Paul, but even Paul was intimidated by the hate of the Sanhedrin.
Festus said to Paul in Acts 25, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be tried before me there on these charges?” Paul did not hesitate to give him a firm answer, “No, I appeal to Caesar.” Paul was not ignorant, he knew who Caesar was; it was the demented, perverted and insane Nero. Why would Paul rather be tried before Nero who was crazy as a bat instead of going to Jerusalem and facing his old bosses, the infamous Sanhedrin. I will tell you why in one word…hate. The Jewish Elders {Sanhedrin} hated Paul with a passion. In their twisted minds, he was a traitor.
No one could talk Paul out of going to Jerusalem before but now he says, “I prefer to go to Rome.” What changed him? He saw the hatred of the Jews up close and personal. Paul never mentions going to Jerusalem again.
Today is a critical day in American history. Donald Trump is the most hated man in my life time. Our present day Sanhedrin {Rich Jews who are running the show behind the scenes} hate Donald Trump because they fear him. He is the one man who could expose them. Remember what Jesus said to this group of ruling Jews, You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? Why did he call them snakes? Of all God’s creatures, none are more shrewd than the snake and that’s how they survive. They stay out of sight, hidden under rocks and in holes. If all the snakes came out into the open, they would not last long. Biden was not the president: he has not been running anything and Harris will not be president either. She may become the latest puppet but the infamous ruling class is pulling the strings and they have the money to do it.
Either way you look at it, our only hope is Jesus! Thank God the democrats cannot nullify the cross or invalidate the resurrection.

We prayed for a landslide last night. We had eleven session beginning at 6:00 and going to 11:45. It was one of the most uplifting things I have ever experienced. I almost ran late and my first group was waiting for me and that group included my good friend Joe Fitzgerald. I have never been more proud of a congregation. It was awesome.
I am not going to say that I have no fear or apprendsion but I do feel much better. If we have a few more prayer meeting like that, we will have revival.
Don’t forget to vote and vote Pro-Life!
