Signs Of Jesus Return

Rick Perry's Jesus Imperative: A Report from Saturday's Mega-Rally

By the time Texas Governor Rick Perry took the stage at his scheduled time at The Response on Saturday, the crowd had been softened to receive him. Perry, as scheduled, emerged from behind the prayer and worship band shortly before 11:30, his coiffed hair and toothy grin filling the enormous television screens behind him. The audience, still aglow and groggy, almost, from a frenzied prayer session devoted to individual repentance had been called upon, through the throb of the praise music, to “lay yourselves bare” for Jesus, your “first love,” and to “repent for putting other things before Jesus.”

This was no idle command—in fact “command” and “obedience” were the day’s chief buzzwords for many speakers; as repentance was required on behalf of yourself, your church, and your country for having failed to commit yourself to Jesus, for having permitted abortion and “sexual immorality,” for failing to cleanse yourself of “filthiness,” and to repent for having “touched what is unclean.” As the individual repentance portion of the day reached its climax, just before Perry’s remarks, people lay flat on the floor; others raised their arms in charismatic receipt of God’s word. Others danced. Some spoke in tongues. A woman wearing a fatigue green “M.A.S.H.” t-shirt (that’s Mobile Army Spiritual Hospital) prostrated herself on the floor.

“Like all of you, I love this country this deeply,” intoned the governor who once publicly mused about his state seceding. “Indeed the only thing you love more,” he added, as the audience held its collective breath, praying he wouldn’t say something that fell short of expectations, “is the living Christ.” A collective exhale for him getting it right; the governor was exalted.

The people who gathered at Reliant Stadium are not just Rick Perry’s spiritual army, raised up, as Perry and others imagine it, in the spirit of Joel 2 to sound an alarm and prepare the people for Judgment Day. They are the ground troops the religious right set out four decades ago to create, and duplicate over generations, for the ongoing culture wars. One part of that army is people like Perry himself, supported by religious right political elites who aimed to cultivate candidates, advocates, and political strategists committed to putting God before government.

Elenin, the signs of the times, and the Return of Jesus Christ ...

Elenin has been a hot topic on the internet especially among Christian circles, and I have to admit It’s interesting, and scary “BUT” there is a big BUT I’m after here. What do all of these signs point to. Is it not the return of the King Jesus Christ. It almost feels that Christians have been overwhelmed by some of the information here with regards to this topic as if God doesn’t have complete control over every single aspect of the universe, including what this Elenin whatever it is does and the impact it has on his people.

So for the Christian lets stay awake and prayerful, but lets stay on TARGET. PREACH the GOSPEL!!!!!!!! Is it Elenin that allows our hearts to beat? What are all of these things pointing too? Jesus said “When you see all of these things begin to take place, LOOK-UP because your salvation is coming soon!!!!

We have many friends, loved ones, co-workers, and people that haven’t heard the good news of Christ or are waiting to see it truly lived out in our lives. Please listen to this video..it came from my heart!
