             A GREAT DOOR AND 
             MANY ADVERSARIES                                      By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
      “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” (1 Cor. 16: 9)
    In the Gospel work there are always many adversaries because the Devil opposes the work of God. And when there are open doors in an area, Satan is more aggressive than ever in persecuting the Lord's servants.
      MARTIN LUTHER stated: “The greatest trial is not to have a trial.” History proves that the church grows more rapidly when it is under the fire of persecution than when it is not! It is easier to fall asleep spiritually and stop praying and witnessing when everything is going well and there is no opposition!
    A.G.WARD said: “The age in which the church was most completely separated from the world was the age in which Christianity was most victorious in the world.” - From Dr. Charles S. Price's Golden Grain, quoting one of the early leaders of P.A.O.C.
     In January, 1942 (during WW11) REV. D.N. BUNTAIN called the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada to Prayer and Fasting. The second Wednesday of each month was set aside as a time of fasting and waiting upon God. In his publication, Dr. Charles S. Price encouraged the Assemblies of God in the USA to do the same!
     Everywhere St. Paul travelled to preach the Gospel, he met with serious persecution. Often the persecution began after God had stretched forth His hand to heal the sick and a spiritual revival had begun.
     At Philippi, St. Paul cast out a demon from a fortune teller who could then no longer perform her evil work, which in turn angered her masters. The makers of pagan artifacts were incensed at the loss of their income because the Gospel had changed people's lives. The results of their outcry caused Paul and Silas to be beaten and thrown into a prison.
    A MIRACLE caused them to be thrown into prison and a MIRACLE brought them out. The miracle of the earthquake that opened all the doors gave Paul and Silas the opportunity to win the Jailer and his family to Christ, which in turn undoubtedly strengthened the Church greatly!
                                PERSECUTION WAS HIS COMPANION!
     “And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
     “And at midnight Paul and Silas PRAYED, and sang PRAISES unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bands were loosed.” (Acts 16: 23-26)
    God's MIRACLE rescued Paul and Silas and brought the Philippian jailer and his family to Christ: “And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.” (Acts 16: 33-34)
                              A CHOSEN VESSEL OF THE LORD!
    SAUL of TARSUS knew beforehand what was coming. Our Lord had made it clear from the very beginning, that he would have to suffer severely as His hand-picked Ambassador to the Gentile world. Here was His message to Ananias:
    “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, for he is a Chosen Vessel unto Me to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and before the children Israel: For I will show him how great things he must SUFFER for My name's sake.” (Acts 9:15, 16)
    Years later SAUL, who had changed his name to Paul wrote: “Are they the minister of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more: in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews received I forty stripes save one.
   “Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren:
     “In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
    “In Damascus the Governor under Aretas the king that kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.” (Acts 11: 23-28; 32,33)
                                 ST. PAUL'S GREAT DISTRESS!
     St. Paul suffered more than most men during many years of Christian Ministry, as he spread the Gospel far and wide and founded the Church of Jesus Christ across the Gentile world, as St. Peter and the other apostles did among the Jews!
     He wrote: “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the POWER may be of God, and not of us.
     “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed: we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed: Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” (2 Cor.
4: 5-11)
     In Troas, God had OPENED the door for St. Paul to preach the Gospel but because Titus had not arrived, he left the revival. He regretted it deeply and coupled his forgiveness with the man who had sinned grievously, whom he said should also be forgiven.
     “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. Futhermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's Gospel, and a DOOR was opened unto me of the Lord. I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
     “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.” (2 Cor.2: 11-14)                          
    To St. Paul, this was certainly a grievous mistake. He had gone to Troas to preach. God had opened the door among the heathen, but he was so stressed out and worried about Titus that he left the revival. He felt that he also needed God's grace and mercy, which he received.
                                  ANOTHER SPIRIT, ANOTHER GOSPEL!
     The great 'Man of God' did not tolerate false brethren who sought to minimize Jesus Christ and replace Him with their old theology. He wrote of it as: “another spirit; another gospel or another Jesus”.
     “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” (2 Cor.11: 3,4)
     Again, St. Paul stated: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
     “But though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than ye have received, let him be accused.” (Gal. 1:6-9)
     The Lord's Chosen Vessel wrote: “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.” (1 Cor. 16:22). What does all this mean?
     St. Paul who had been given the Gospel from Jesus Christ personally by revelation and by being carried into Heaven and seeing things that he was not allowed to tell, was captivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Church, which is His Body!
     He KNEW that there is only One Way to God and Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ alone! He was not preaching any short-cuts to God. Everyone must come the same way, through the Cross and by the Blood of God's Paschal Lamb!
    He used two Aramaic words, Anathema and Maranatha; one meaning censure, suspended or accursed and the second, our Lord comes. He was warning that when the Lord Jesus returns it will be a great and wonderful day for His Church, but a dreadful day of censure for those who do not know and love the Lord!
     The Righteous will receive eternal blessedness but the others an eternal censure and curse! Concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, St. Paul instructs the Church: “Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus Christ is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” (1 Cor.12: 3)
    Now you know why adherents to the Cults and pagan religions will miss Heaven and populate Hell. The Muslim religious-political belief ridicules Jesus Christ as the Son of God, saying that is impossible for God to have a Son! The Jesus they preach is not 'the Jesus of the Bible', but an impostor who will force all Christians to accept Islam or be killed!
                                 CHRIST IS NOT AN EVOLVING IDEA!
    The Western Report Feb. 8, 1993 story of Christian Unity in Alberta carried this excerpt: 
     Edmonton’s Dr. Max Solbrekken is more blunt. “We can’t sit at the same table with people who presume to change the word of God — call God the Father ‘she,’ license homosexual acts, change Christ’s own words on marriage, or deny that He rose from the dead. That’s blasphemy. The only truth that unites Christians is the person of Jesus, and He is not negotiable. I’m all for Christians joining together, but Christ is the living Word, not an ‘evolving idea,’ and He doesn’t change with the times.”
   There is however a path to God and Heaven, and that is the way of REPENTANCE and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible says: “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance to God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 20:21).
     There can be no forgiveness without repentance toward God, which is sorrow for sin and rebellion against God. And faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for us!
     Jesus warned: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matt.7:13, 14)
     The Holy Bible says: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be SAVED, and to come unto the knowledge of the TRUTH. For there is ONE God, and ONE Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a RANSOM for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Tim. 2: 3-6)
      JESUS invites occultists, cultists, pagans and all lost souls to come to Him for forgiveness and cleansing through His precious blood and total healing from all the powers of the Evil One. His love reaches out to everyone!
He stated: “Come unto Me all ye who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” (Matt.11: 28); “Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to Him, and will sup with him and he with Me.” (Rev.3: 20).
                                      ENDURING UNTO THE END!
     Jesus warned about coming tribulation: “And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
      “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matt.24: 11-14)
      St. Paul stated: “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is me, if I preach not the gospel. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel has been committed uto me.
     “What is my reward then? Verily that when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself a servant, unto all, that I might gain the more.” (1 Cor.9: 16-19)
     “For what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.” (Phil.3: 7-10)
    My good friend, BOB ROSIN, used to say, “It's one thing to start. It's another thing to finish.” And that is the truth!
    Behind us lies thousands of years of history confirming the power of Almighty God in Creation, the lives and messages of Israel's prophets, the Incarnation and life of Jesus Christ and His message to us, the Apostles of our Lord and the great revivals that were wrought by the Holy Spirit in the Early Church and for the past nearly 2,000 years,
     And ahead of us awaits the unknown with its opportunities to fulfill our calling in the further spread of the Gospel. Obeying God's Word, we rely on His promise to never leave us nor forsake us as we carry on the work of those who have laid down their lives for the cause of the gospel.
    Acknowledging our own weakness we throw ourselves upon His strength and great mercy, and holding on to His Almighty Hand we stretch ourselves to do the impossible through His power, knowing that in the end we win!
     “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, in Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Heb.13: 20,21)
     And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father and the fellowship and communion Holy Spirit be and abide with us all until Jesus comes. May He strengthen, bless, forgive, heal, protect and prosper us all in His holy name! Amen.

         Obama's Last Act? Deliver Israel 
             To The UN Security Council
Newsweek is reporting that France is ready to make a renewed push for a UN Security Council resolution that would formally establish a Palestinian state, and this time around the Obama administration may be ready to go along with such a resolution.
                                 Will Obama make a fatal mistake?
     Deception                      Intelligence  
Only a Fool would Fight against
Almighty God and His Chosen Race.
Hitler tried. Others will also be Judged!
                DON'T DIVIDE HIS LAND!
                         By Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
    The Word of God states:  "I will also gather ALL nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will (judge) plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land." (Joel 3: 2)
     Almighty God declares that a pay day is coming for those nations which have systematically scattered His people and have abused His heritage, His Chosen people Israel! 
     Not only have many nations over the last 2,000 years mistreated the Jews in a terrible way through persecution and genocide, but now that the Israelis are back in their own land a number of world leaders are demanding their 3,000 year old Capital City of Jerusalem be divided.
    God's Word states that He will PLEAD with them, put them on TRIAL and bring JUDGMENT against them! We all witnessed how God dealt with Adolf Hitler and Germany. Now, Chancellor Merkel is again setting up Germany for judgment, by bringing in hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees without any secure screening of potential terrorists.
      France and other countries are pushing for Jerusalem to be divided. These countries will surely fall into the trap of joining with Russia and the Muslim Hordes when they march against Israel in the Gog and Magog War as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39.
                WHY ISRAEL IS SO SPECIAL!

1. BECAUSE THEIR GOD IS SPECIAL:

    "For the Lord thy God is a merciful God: He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the COVENANT of thy fathers which He sware unto them.
     "Know thou therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in Heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is NONE else." (Deut. 4: 31, 39)
    "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 
    "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
    "Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the House of the Lord for ever." (Ps. 23)
    "The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid." (Ps. 27: 1)
    
1. God is the Creator: 
    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made." (John 1: 1-3)
    "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth." (Ps.33: 6); "The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens." (Prov.3: 19)
    "The burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him." (Zech.12: 1)
     "For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since God created man upon the earth, and ask them from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it." (verse 32)
2. No Other God but Jehovah: 
     "Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the Lord He is God; there is NONE else beside Him. Know ye therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath: there is none else."   (Deut. 4: 35,39) 
    "All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are accounted unto Him as Nothing, and vanity. To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto Him? have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He that sitteth upon the CIRCLE of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in." (Isaiah 40: 12, 17, 18,21,22)
3. The Hebrews had God near to them:
     "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things  that we call upon Him for? And what nation is there so Great that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
    "Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and the sons' sons." (Deut. 4: 7-9)
4. Almighty God Defined Himself in the Shemah:
     "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deut. 6: 4). Hebrew scholars have made this statement: "The Shemah  (Echmah): Schmah Yisrael, Adonai, eloheimu, Adonai echmah, should be translated as follows: Hear O Israel, The Lord is our God, the Lord alone."
     In a world of many religions the worship of many gods, Jehovah stood alone. He alone is God! 'The Lord is our God, the Lord alone' places the emphasis on the fact that the Israelis worshipped only Jehovah, Lord God Almighty! 
    There is no other God! Zeus, Buddha, Allah, Shiva, Vishnu, Odin, Thor  and Gaia  do not belong in the same arena with the Lord God of the Hebrews.  
   As believers in Jesus Christ, we do not accept, honour or worship pagan entities, man-made gods, goddesses, counterfeit Christs and demonically inspired deities. We glorify, praise and worship Almighty Lord God and His glorified Son Jesus Christ and the blessed Holy Spirit! Amen.
5. God is our Redeemer:
    "Remember the former things of old: for I am God and there is none else: I am God, and there is none else: I am God and there is none like Me. As for our Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts is His name the Holy One of Israel.
     "I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of My mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
     "Hearken unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He; I am the first. I am also the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hath spanned the heavens: when I  call unto unto them, they stand up together. 
     "Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent Me. 
    "Thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God, which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way thou shouldest go." (Is.46: 9,10; 47: 4; 48:3, 12, 13, 15-17)
    
11. BECAUSE GOD SPOKE TO THEM:
    "For ask now of the days that are past which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask them from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
    "Unto you it was shown, that thou mightest know that the Lord He is God; there is none else beside Him. Out of Heaven He made thee to hear His voice, that He might instruct thee: and upon earth He showed thee His great fire; and thou heardest His Words out of the midst of the fire." (Duet.4: 32-36)

111.  BECAUSE GOD HAD CHOSEN THEM:
    "Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Or hath God assayed to go and take Him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes. (Duet. 4: 34)

1V. GOD'S IRON-CLAD GUARANTEE TO ISRAEL:
  "My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My COVENANT shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake My law and walk not in My judgments; 
     "If they break My statutes and keep not My commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquities with stripes. Nevertheless My loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My faithfulness to fail.
      "My COVENANT will I not break nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips. Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven." (Ps. 89: 28-37)
     "But this shall be the COVENANT that I shall make with the House of Israel; After those days saith the Lord, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people.
     "Thus saith the Lord which giveth the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of Hosts is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.
     "Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth be searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord." (Jer. 32:33, 35-37)
    "And the Word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah saying, Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break My Covenant of the Day and My Covenant of the Night, and that there should not be Day and Night, and that there should NOT be Day  and Night in their season; Then may also My Covenant be Broken with David My servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne...
       "As the host of heaven  cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David My servant... Thus saith the Lord; If My Covenant be not with Day and Night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob (Israel), and David My servant.." (Jer.33: 19-22, 25, 26)

                       JERUSALEM: CITY OF GOD
     There are nearly 800 references in the Bible to Jerusalem. Jesus of Nazareth called Jerusalem, the city of the Great King referring to Himself, (Matt. 5:35)
     Our Lord was quoting the prophet David: "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the Great King." (Ps. 48: 1-14)
    Three thousand years ago, King David related the words of God by the Holy Spirit: "For the Lord hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation. This is My rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it." (Ps. 13: 13, 14)
      "His foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob (Israel).  Glorious things are spoken of thee, O City of God, Selah." (Ps. 87: 1-3). 
    The word selah means to pause and think of that. May the EVIL brain-washed Terrorist hordes of rapists and killers stop to think of that, if they are even capable of thinking straight!
     It is almost laughable, if it were not so serious, that Israel's Arab neighbours would try to lay claim to the City of Yahweh,  the God of Israel and the Creator of the worlds!

              NATION OF ISRAEL: GOD'S LAND  

1. God gave them the land:
    "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates." (Gen. 15: 18)
 2. The Land cannot be sold:
     "The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with Me." (Lev. 25: 23)
3. He will punish severely those who divide it:
     "I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehosaphat, and will plead (judge) with them there for My People (Hebrews), whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted (divided) MY LAND." (Joel 3: 2)
    Lets take a look at recent history: Adolf Hitler almost destroyed the world because of his PRIDE and hatred of the Jews and will spend eternity in HELL together with Satan and all those who hate God's people and those who believe in His crucified, risen and glorified Son, Jesus Christ!
                            HEADS UP: ALL JEW HATERS!
    Do you really want to destroy Israel? Here is how you do it: Knock the sun, moon and constellations out of their places. Turn night into day. X-ray the earth straight through from Canada to China. Throw God out of Heaven!
     Your master, Satan, tried to dislodge Almighty God and is now a restless Terrorist roaming to and fro in the earth seeking to steal, kill and destroy. Unless you REPENT and turn to Christ, you will together with your deluded, hate-filled leaders will spend eternity in Hell with the Devil and his demons! I implore you, turn to Christ, before it is too late!!! 
     You may ask, 'What must I do to inherit eternal life? How can I turn my life around? What must I do to get rid of the hatred in my heart? Acknowledge that you are a sinner. Believe the Good news that Jesus Christ took your place and died for you, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. Repent of your sins. Receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and confess Him as your Lord and Saviour. Praise the Lord! Amen.

ALARMING? YES INDEED! People in the USA fear that Syrian Refugees coming there are the Trojan horse. Anyone reading the below FACTS should realize the TROJAN HORSE is already there! LENIN said, "Facts are a stubborn thing!" He was right. Facts are a stubborn thing! - Pastor Max Solbrekken

IS THIS WHY OBAMA FEARS TRUMP?

CIA director John Brennan is a Muslim convert?

Posted on August 27, 2015 by StMA
Before John Owen Brennan became Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on March 8, 2013, he had spent 25 years with the CIA in a succession of positions, including as a Near East and South Asia analyst, station chief in Saudi Arabia, chief of staff to CIA director George Tenet, and director of the National Counterterrorism Center. After leaving government service in 2005, Brennan was CEO of The Analysis Corporation, a securityconsulting business. He returned to government service with the Obama administration as Homeland Security Advisor on January 20, 2009.

Peter Baker and Mark Mazzetti write for The New York Times that “in the 67 years since the C.I.A. was founded, few presidents have had as close a bond with their intelligence chiefs as Mr. Obama has forged with Mr. Brennan. It is a relationship that has shaped the policy and politics of the debate over the nation’s war with terrorist organizations, as well as the agency’s own struggle to balance security and liberty.”
Given Obama’s special bond with Brennan, if the latter is a Muslim convert, there are troubling national security implications.
Brennan’s questionable loyalty dates back to the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
On September 18, 2014, on the Ground Zero radio program, a whistle blower named Greg Ford of the 223rd Military Intelligence Battalion claimed that Brennan, as chief of the CIA station in Jeda, overrode concerns and ordered that the visas of the 19 plane-hijackers be stamped. At 1:32:47 into the interview, Ford talked about ISIS and how it was created. Someone called in with a question about 9/11. Ford said:
All 19 high jackers? Where did they get their visas stamped before they came to this country to launch 9/11? They got their visas stamped in the CIA station in Jeda. And the second in command said ‘No way, absolutely we are not going to stamp those visas.’ And the fellow who was in charge, his name was John Brennan. He was the person who overrode those concerns and cautions and ordered those visas stamped in Jeda.”
There have long been rumors that John Owen Brennan is a Muslim convert. A member of this Consortium, John Molloy, Chairman of the National Vietnam & Gulf War Veterans Coalition, has heard of those rumors from his military sources. Now, we have published confirmation from a credible journalist.
Wayne Madsen is a Washington, DC-based investigative journalist, author and columnist. As a U.S. Naval Officer, he managed one of the first computer security programs for the U.S. Navy. He subsequently worked for the National Security Agency.  (See his extended bio here.) 
In a for-subscribers-only article for his news site, Wayne Madsen Report, on August 11, 2015, Madsen maintains there is “growing evidence that CIA’s John Brennan is a Wahhabist convert.”
Madsen begins by noting that Obama had wanted to appoint Brennan CIA director in 2009, but there was internal CIA and congressional opposition to his nomination, ostensibly because of Brennan’s involvement in “enhanced interrogation” techniques used against detainees after 9/11, but the actual reasons for the initial opposition remains unclear to this day.
When the Senate eventually voted to confirm Brennan in 2013, 34 senators voted no, including Rand Paul (R-KY), who attempted to filibuster the confirmation vote; Ted Cruz (R-TX); Charles Grassley (R-IA); Patrick Leahy (D-VT); Mike Lee (R-UT); Jeff Merkley (D-OR); Bernie Sanders (D-VT); and Richard Shelby (R-AL). Barbara Boxer (D-CA) did not vote. Madsen asks, “What did these senators actually know about Brennan, especially the Democrats, who decided Brennan was not for for the job?”
Madsen lists the following tell-tale signs of Brennan’s conversion to Islam:
  • When Brennan, then Obama’s deputy national security adviser, was sworn in to head the CIA, “the Jesuit-educated former CIA officer opted to take the oath on a copy of the U.S. Constitution, not on the bible as every past CIA director, Christian and Jewish, had done.”
  • Brennan is the highest-ranking U.S. official to have ever visited the Islamic holy city of Mecca, a privilege reserved only for pious Muslims and special guests of the Saudi King, who is the “Guardian of the Two Shrines of Mecca and Medina.”
  • At the National Security Council and at the CIA, Brennan has forbidden the use of the term “jihadist” to describe Islamist terrorists, preferring instead the word “extremists.”
Madsen then presents the following “ample evidence” that Brennan is not just aMuslim convert, but a convert to Wahhabist Islam — the same sect as Osama bin Laden’s — who considers himself a “jihadist,” or “holy warrior”:
1.“The recent revelation by retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), that the Obama administration, including Brennan at the CIA, ignored the threat of the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), provides yet further proof that a Saudi and Wahhabist ‘Manchurian Candidate’ now occupies the director’s chair on the seventh floor of the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Flynn said that the White House and supporters of the Syrian rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, ignored the DIA’s SECRET report from August 2012 on the rise of the Islamist caliphate in Syria and Iraq and did nothing to stop it.” Flynn also asserted that the Obama administration funneled arms to Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Al Qaeda in Iraq. 
2. Brennan has shuttled frequently between Langley, Jerusalem, and Riyadh to coordinate arms transfers and other logistical support to ISIL and their allied fighters in Syria and Iraq. Witnesses in Syria, the Golan Heights, Iraq’s Anbar province, and Iraqi Kurdistan to have seen CIA and Israeli Mossad commandos transferring weapons to ISIL and affiliated forces.
3. A few weeks before the Senate voted to confirm Brennan as CIA director, former FBI agent John Guandolo revealed that Brennan had, indeed, converted to Wahhabist Islam while he was CIA station chief in Riyadh. Guandalo quoted Brennan as having said that he “marveled at the majesty of the Hajj,” the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca that is reserved only for devout Muslims. Guandalo was quoted as telling a radio interviewer, “Mr. Brennan did convert to Islam when he served in an official capacity on  the behalf of the United States in Saudi Arabia.”
According to Madsen, there are other CIA converts to Muslim, including:
  • The chief of the CIA’s Counter-Terrorism Center under Brennan, who is known only as “Roger,” is a convert to Sunni Islam — a fact that was reported by The Washington Post. Roger’s career at the CIA started about the same time that Brennan joined the agency. Roger, whose real name is Michael A. D’Andrea or “Mike”, joined in 1979, Brennan in 1980. Both became fluent in Arabic. D’Andrea’s CIA nickname was “The Wolf.”
  • Muhammad Abdel Karim Grimm, a chief CIA operative at the Munich Islamic Center (MIC), is a German Christian convert to Salafist Islam. The MIC was funded by the CIA during the Cold War as a Muslim Brotherhood operating cell in Munich which recruited Turkish Muslim CIA operatives from Germany’s Turkish “guest worker” community.
  • Andrew Warren, who speaks six Arabic dialects and Persian, is another convert to Islam who rose in the ranks of the CIA. In 2008, Warren, the CIA’s station chief in Algiers, was ordered home by the ambassador after he was charged with drugging two Algerian Muslim women, having non-consensual sex with them, and filming the alleged rapes. Warren left the CIA and took a job with Citigroup in New York but quickly returned to the CIA after the 9/11 attack. In 2010, Warren received a 65-month prison sentence for “abusive sexual conduct” while in Algeirs and unlawful use of cocaine while possessing a firearm in  Norfolk. He pleaded guilty to the two charges but prosecutors decided not to charge Warren with rape, which would have carried a life sentence. Madsen claims that according to “a well-placed U.S. intelligence source,” Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings was working on a story about Warren and Brennan before he died in a suspicious fiery auto crash in Beverly Hills, California in June 2013, a little over three months after Brennan became CIA director.
