The United States And England Are Destined To Fall As The Roman Empire Did
The United States And England Are Destined To Fall Podcast
Why Would They Fall Like The Roman Empire?
What Caused The Fall Of The Roman Empire?
According to the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire which was written by Edward Gibbons, he found five primary causes that were being practiced in the Roman Empire. These primary causes eventually led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Let’s look at these causes one by one and compare them to what is going on today in the United States and England.
Loss Of Family Structure
The backbone of a country is its strong family structure. It’s what the United States And England were built upon, just the same as the Roman Empire.
Family structure seems to be a thing of the past. With so many single mothers out there today either from having children out of wedlock or they are divorced. So, what happened to family structure? Have people become so self-centered that they can’t love their spouse for a long period of time? Is fornication a major cause in failed marriages? Are people willing to give up their life for their partner?
A couple that are not married yet, should not engage in a sexual relationship until they are married. They should get to know one another first and find out if they are meant for each other. God is against fornication, it’s mentioned in the Old and New Testament. If both parties are mutual about giving up their lives for one another then they should have an undying relationship for life with each other.
When two people are looking out for each other’s needs, than there will be no wants or needs. Did not Jesus say that ‘What greater love can there be than for one to give up their life for a friend.’ Isn’t your spouse your best friend? If you truely love your spouse, than you will make sure that all their needs are met. After all, if we are going to be in union with God, then we need to do the same for Him, He already does His part for us.
When you have children, you need to do the same for them. This is how they grow, by being nurtured in a loving environment with both parents. Quality time together is also a must. You have to put away all the tech stuff and pay attention to each other. Doing things together like, eating meals, playing games, prayer, bible reading and family outtings.
One parent should be home taking care of the household chores, making sure that everyone is eating healthy meals and being there for the children when they come home from school. Sticking them in a daycare center day after day is wrong, how can you possibly nurture and bond with your children that way? Things are so out of balance these days when it comes to family structure.
Increased Taxation
The governments in this country, whether it is city, county, state or federal seem to have this unstoppable urge to tax everything in sight. You can see this just by looking at your bills. They start all these tax programs thinking that it will help pay for this that and the other thing, when in the long run, they don’t fix the problem that is causing them to start a new tax program. They end up putting the burden on the consumer again and again, which leaves the consumer with less money to put back into the economy.
I’m sure that most of you are familiar with doing your taxes at the end of the year. This has absolutely turned into a nightmare for everyone, including the IRS. Why does it have to be so complicated? Why not just have a flat 10% tax on everyone’s income? People would have plenty of money to fuel the economy and there would be plenty of jobs for everyone. The governments would even have enough money to sustain themselves.
Unsustainable Buildup of Armaments
We used to have countries that feared us, but not anymore. Over the years some of these countries have tested the United States and England. Iran, Russia and North Korea to name a few. What did we do? Nothing. Once these two nations show that their will is broken, these other countries can proceed doing the very things that will put everyone in danger without any fear of retaliation.
The United States is about to reduce thier armaments hoping that others will follow, this is going to be a fatal mistake for the U.S. This will only give the other countries an edge build up their armaments use them against the countries we once protected, including our own. Also, Obama in other words is telling other nations that we will not use nuclear weapons against them if they attack us with biological or chemical weapons. So, what is going to keep them from attacking the United States now that they have nothing to fear? God Help Us.
Unsatiable Craving for Pleasure
We are always seeking ways to please the flesh. We will even go into debt and in some cases, heavy debt just to satisfy the cravings of the flesh through self pleasure. This world is flooded with things that distract us away from God, only to please ourselves.
We have things like the computer. When used in moderation, it can be a useful tool, but there are many people that become addicted to it. With the social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and others, they can waste some serious time when it comes to idol socializing. What I mean is chit-chat that has no value to it.
There are other dangerous places as well like gaming sites, pornographic sites and online casinos. Some people become obsessed with these sites to the point of addiction. They spend all their time on these sites to accomplish what? The overwhelming desire to please the flesh.
Food is another one. Look at the millions and millions of recipes that people made up. How many different ways do we need to prepare food? And for what, 10 – 15 minutes of satisfying the taste buds? People will spend hours preparing and cooking a meal. We even have television channels and tons of web sites all surrounding the subject of food.
Television and cell phones are also items that get abused on a regular basis. Just look at what some of things are doing to our youth. Texting is out of control and it has even cost people their lives. Parents need to take control of their kids lives and get them active into things with value, instead of handing their kids every tech gadget that comes out on the market.
The Decay of Religion
In God’s eyes, true religion is helping each other out and keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world. This is the biggest problem that we face in today’s world. We are having a rough time with the economy these days, but what got us here? Greed and the desire of want.
People abusing their credit and going into debt for what? One word, “Want.” We need to be more responsible in our spending habits and our wants.
Nobody saves money anymore, this also hurts the economy. It doesn’t give the banks enough money to loan out to businesses or use to make more investments. This causes your local banks to close their doors and it paves the way for these bigger banks to grow and have more control over your finances. They in turn become greedier and nickle and dime you to death. Without the smaller, local banks, we are at the mercy of the big banks.
How about helping each other out or simply “Loving One Another”. The hate has got to stop, this country is so divided amongst itself. Hate is nothing more than a dark force of destruction.
The moral values of the United States and England just keeps getting worse and worse as each decade passes by. All you have to do is look back through time and you can see how we have become more and de-sensitized to immoral behavior that the shock of it alone has worn off.
As more and more immoral practices develop, the more we anger God. This in turn causes God to remove His blessings from us and send us curses. God is being very fair and patient with these two nations. It’s a shame that many do not see this and as a result, things are only going to get worse.
This is just a few examples of what the “Decay of Religion” is about. It’s not about going to church or belonging to some religious organization. It’s about being moral, upright people in the eyes of a loving God. A God that wants nothing but the best for us. He wants to shower us with His blessings and save us from ourselves.
Mark my word, we are heading for destruction. Man is going to have to go through some tough times in the near future, unlike anything man has ever seen.
Here is a link to the book I mentioned at the beginning in case you are interested in reading it: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. You will be able to compare the Roman Empire with what is going on in the United States and England. You will see that these two nations are going to fall just as the Roman Empire did.
Putting Our Trust In God Requires A Lot Of Faith
Putting Our Trust In God Requires A Lot Of Faith Podcast
Trusting God Can Be Difficult At Times
If we are going to trust in God, we are going to need faith. First, we have to believe that there is a God. Some have been taught about God when they were young. As they grow up they know in their hearts that there is a God, creator of all.
Others were drawn to God either by miracles or something that happened in their life, whether it be some type of trauma or an amazing event. There is a feeling inside us that knows there is more to life than living and dying. Read more

Give Me Hope – Hope Can Be Practiced In Two Different Ways Podcast
Please Give Me Hope O’ God
The Bible is full of times when people or a community of people had hope when they were met with despair, hope for a better day, a day when things were not so bad.

Those that realized He was the true Messiah, turned their hope into joy. Read more

Thank you. (Click On The Title To Go To That Page)
1. Powerless Over Ourselves – Read More…
“How Can I Be Powerless Over Myself?” Our ways are different than God’s way. We are governed by our pride. We want things that will please our bodies and make our lives pleasant. We want the things of the world. This is our human nature, it’s the way our minds work.
2. Sanity or Insanity? – Read More…
Most of us like to think we are sane people right? We don’t act bizarre or we’re not in an institution, so we must be sane, right? Wrong. There’s a kind of insanity that, as we look through our carnal eyes we just don’t see. We usually look at insanity as people who lost touch with reality.
3. Your Will and Your Life – Read More…
You Did Accept Jesus As Your Personal Savior? When we accepted Jesus as our personal Savior, did we not do this to save ourselves from damnation? Some of us chose Jesus because our life was a mess from trying to live it our way.
4. Take An Inventory Of Ourselves – Read More…
Our Behavior Is Pretty Much Ruled By Our Pride. Our emotions and our actions are of self-will. We want our lives to be in perfect order as WE would like them. We do not care about what others want or need or even if we do, so long as it doesn’t interrupt our way of life, the life WE want.
5. Acknowledge Your Sins – Read More…
Pray For Forgiveness. 1John 1:8,9 – If we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth; but if we acknowledge our sins, then God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and purify us from everything that is wrong.
6. Remove Character Defects – Read More…
Now that we have taken a look at ourselves by making a list of things we did wrong and told them to another individual, it’s time to work on removing these defects for good. Remember to always talk to Jesus about these things we need removed and let Him help us to overcome these defects.
7. Humility and Pride – Read More…
Humility Is The Opposite Of Pride. Luke 2:7 And she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them at the inn. This is a true act of humility. God could have provided all the comforts of home for Joseph, Mary and Jesus, but He didn’t.
8. List Of Wrongs – Read More…
Made A List Of Our Wrongs and Any Resentments. When we did something wrong to someone did we do it intentionally or did we do it out of ignorance? Sometimes we aim to harm people and some of the reasons we do this is for personal gain, that we don’t like the individual, or because we like to stir things up between others.
9. Making Amends – Read More…
Make Amends To The People You Have Harmed. Now that you have made your lists, it’s time to make amends. First, you have to understand that sometimes it’s not good to open up old wounds. We don’t want to harm others again, but this doesn’t mean that we’re off the hook from making amends.
10. Daily Evaluation – Read More…
We Need To Evaluate Ourselves Daily. Now that we have made amends, it’s time to keep from doing the same things that we had to make amends for over again. We can do this by overcoming our pride. It begins by the way we think and how we bring into ourselves the actions of others.
11. God’s Will – Read More…
About God’s Will For Us. The bible is a great book, it’s God’s word. It’s full of instructions for us. It has God’s promises that He gives us. Each promise has a stipulation attached to it. God will keep His promise provided we do our part.
12. Growing Spiritually – Read More…
Face Life One Day At A Time With God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. After following Jesus and working the past 11 lessons, one should have gained a lot of knowledge about oneself. Such things as the way you think and act, how you treat people and the way you treat them.
Practice these spiritual disciplines to get closer to God and find peace, happiness and true freedom.

In the Book of Samuel God Warned People About Government and Rulers [ 4:14 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadIn the Book of Samuel…
Over 4000 years ago, God warned us about government. Yet, man still hasn’t learned about the dangers of having a government or a person that hasn’t been appointed by God to lead a nation. God explained to Israel exactly what would happen if they chose to go this route.
So far, as you can see, man has not learned his lesson. What exactly are the benefits of having a government, a king, a dictator, or some type of ruler to run a nation, rather then have God lead us? For God to anoint one that will be His representative here on earth? I, myself can not see why we need to elect someone or some form of government to tell us what to do. I would much rather have God rule over us. Read more
Book of Hosea – Prophecy For The United States and England
Hosea – Prophecy For The United States and England Podcast
In the Book of Hosea…
It is talking about a nation that God had blessed and then the people turned their back on God and so, God slowly started removing His blessings from this nation. Even though it is written in the Old Testament and at the time when God was talking to Israel and His wife who He refers to is Jerusalem. The United States and England has to understand that they are sister nations of Israel and that God has blessed them. Read more
How to Trust God With Faith
How to Trust God With Faith Podcast
Knowing How to Trust God
If we are going to believe that God will help us, then we need to trust God. We can’t sit around worrying about our situation. We can’t let our problem cause us to fear the unknown. We can’t doubt that God will not help us get through our problem. In order for God to help us, He wants to see that we trust Him and have faith that He will be there for us. Read more
God Is Love
God is Love Podcast
God is Love, Not a Cruel God
There are people out there that think God is a cruel God. That just isn’t so. Some like to refer back to the days of Noah and Noah’s Ark, when God flooded the world. Because children had perished in this flood and God did not save them, they say God is a murderer. How can this be? Did not God tell Noah what to do to be spared from the flood? Did not Noah warn the people for many years of a coming flood?
All these people did was laugh at him and mock him. These people failed to take heed to his warning. They were acting foolishly out of their own pride. Many of these people had families, yet they chose not to secure the safety of their family. Read more
Love One Another
Love One Another Podcast
Be Kind and Helpful To One Another
One of the biggest issues that plagues man is racism. Racism comes from man’s pride, same with any type of hate or sin. Pride is the darkness that lies within man. It is anchored in man like roots on a tree. Sin grows from pride just like the branches on a tree.
Mankind can destroy himself because of pride. Here are just some of the darkness that man can bring forth, using God’s name in vain, anger, lust, crime, greed, jealousy, wars, murder, violence, mockery, hate, and gossip. If we want to be righteous in the eyes of God, then we have to overcome the darkness that lies within us and “Love One Another”. Read more
Love Your Neighbor
Love Your Neighbor Podcast
Practice To Love Your Neighbor Daily
1John 2:9-11 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the dark. But anyone who loves his brother is living in the light and need not be afraid of stumbling; unlike the man who hates his brother and is in the darkness, not knowing where he is going, because it is to dark to see.
1John 4:20,21 Anyone who says, ‘ I love God,’ and hates his brother, is a liar, since a man who does not love the brother that he can see cannot love God, whom he has never seen. So this is the commandment He has given us, that anyone who loves God must also love his brother. Wouldn’t it be a beautiful world if everyone loved each other? Well, that’s the kind of world God has planned for those who can love each other. The question is, will you be apart of it? Read more
The Rapture
The Rapture Podcast
Is This Theory a Strange Doctrine That They Preach?
Definition of the word “Rapture” in English: ecstatic delight: overwhelming joy. great pleasure or enthusiasm or the expression of it. In Latin: exstasis, exstasia, extasia, ecstastia, exstasiae: rapture, ecstasty, trance. The definition in English or Latin does not mean “caught up”. They say that the word comes from the Latin translation of the Greek word “harpazo” in this verse (1Thessalonians 4:17) and is accurately translated into English by “caught up”. This word did not mean to be caught up or taken away in Greek until the term raptured came into existence in the 1800′s. Before then, nobody taught about Christians flying away in pre-tribulation.

Powerless Over Ourselves?
Powerless Over Ourselves Podcast
“How Can I Be Powerless Over Myself?”
Our ways are different than God’s way. We are governed by our pride. We want things that will please our bodies and make our lives pleasant. We want the things of the world. This is our human nature, it’s the way our minds work.
We lost the spiritual ways of God and God’s image when Adam and Eve sinned, or in other words gave into pride. They disobeyed God and lost their spiritual connection to Him. You know yourself better than anybody, but Jesus knows you better than you do. What causes us not to yield our lives with Jesus Christ? “PRIDE” Read more
The Greatest Nation – What Happened To The United States?
What Happened To The United States – The Greatest Nation Podcast
Everything about the greatest nation in the world was perfect. So, what happened?
What happened to this country? We were once the greatest nation in the world. Now, we’re on the verge of bankruptcy. It wouldn’t take much to cause a financial collapse. We could even become a third world country by the way we’re heading.
This country has it all. Good soil to grow just about any crop you want to plant. Our land is full of precious minerals that we could mine. Everything about this country was perfect. So, what happened? Why have we become so dependent on other countries for the things we have right here in our own backyard? Why do we import everything these days?
It is so important for a country to be self-sufficient. For example: When we entered World War I & II, we were able to produce everything needed to sustain ourselves. We can’t do that these days, a lot of contracts have been given to foreign countries. We also rely too much on imports. What if we went to war with one or two or more of these countries? What would happen if our enemy took over the country(ies) that we rely on for minerals or parts for our jets or basically anything that is not mined or manufactured here? We lost our self-sufficiency. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
We let too many things happen to this country. We let athiests tell us we can’t pray here or there. They tell us we have to remove God from this country. This country was built on God by faith and trust in Him. This country cannot survive without God, as you will see. It’s already falling apart. We let the immorals of homosexuality have it’s way. We all hate child molesters, yet we let people manufacture and sell costumes that makes a woman look like a little girl. Look at our prisons, filled to the max. Sex is totally out of control, there’s nothing sacred about it anymore, by the way things are going, kids will be having sex before they’re 10 years old.
Families are almost non-existent. Kids are out of control. Our youth are not getting properly educated. Too much reliability on technology(we don’t have to use our mind anymore). Both parents have to work to keep up with the wants. God will take care of our needs, provided we love Him. This is why both parents have to get a job these days. God doesn’t want to see broken homes or families that are apart even though they live together. I remember when the Father would go to work and the mother would be at home for the family. It was nice to get up in the morning to a good breakfast, come home from school and mom would be there waiting. In the evening we would all have a good wholesome dinner together, not fast food garbage or frozen dinners. This was a great time for the family to interact with each other.
Everyone seems to be so self-absorbed these days. Instead of how can I help, it’s what can I do for me. There is a great lack of consideration for one another. Instead of people being considerate, it seems like they want to make others angry. If you need an example, just take drive somewhere, it won’t be long before you see what I’m talking about. Inconsideration, purposely doing things to annoy others, or just plain being ignorant is nothing more than Hate. It’s all in your attitude. If you want to have a pleasant day, then be pleasant. If you want to be miserable, then keep it to yourself.
From time to time, things go wrong, mistakes happen, as well as accidents. Nobody’s perfect, we need to remember this. When someone makes a mistake we need to help them through it, not make it worse for them. This is called compassion, a form of love. Be grateful for what you have, there’s always someone worse off than you.
Greed has many different forms. It already has caused this country to be on the verge of a depression. The world itself is close to a global economic colapse. Things are happening all over the world that we need to be concerned about. Natural disasters, famine, disease, terrorism, a new super power on the rise (which will be a big threat to us & I don’t think we’re going to win this one).
What happened to this country? What happened to the world? Why are we putting up with terrorism? Why do we even negotiate with these people? You can’t negotiate with hate. Israel has been trying for years. They keep giving away land in exchange for a peace deal and the U. S. even coaxed them into it. They have given away land that rightfully belonged to them. They’re almost out of land. The land they’ve traded for peace, still hasn’t brought them any peace, only more terrorists. They almost have Israel completely surrounded. Egypt is the only one left and they’re hooking up with Iran and going to break ties with Isreal. Israel right now wants to give up half of Jerusalem. Israel, the United States and England seem to be wimping out these days. Not having God as head of a nation is a big mistake, but we can still be the greatest nation in the world.
Back when Israel had faith in God, they were strong, the ultimate warriors, just as they were in the Old Testament days. Look at the Six Day War, it was an impossible feat for any country to accomplish what they did in six days. God was certainly with them then. History repeats itself, great nations come and go like the wind. With God, nothing is impossible. When we start pushing God away disaster happens. These things are happening right now to Israel, the United States and England.
It’s not going to get better until we get better, in other words Wake Up! Man seems to always want to do things his way. Why? Because of pride. God created this planet and He created us. One other of man’s downfalls is teaching evolution. God knows better than anyone about how things are supposed to be done, whether it’s farming, or how to set up a community so there isn’t people living on top of people causing diseases and how to punish criminals so crimes will cease, even how to pay taxes (one tax – 10%). We have more taxes than we know what to do with. God gives us all the instructions we need to be healthy, properous and so no one goes without. We could be free from all misery, so why are we so stupid? We wouldn’t let someone operate on us without knowing that that person was properly instructed on how to perform an operation would we? How about work on our car or build a house for us or teach our kids in school?
There’s a perfect instruction manual available to us on everything we need to know about life and how to live it. This manual is called the Bible. It was given to us by our ever so loving God. If we all would follow His Instructions, we could all live together in perfect harmony. We would be able to live our lives in total peace and freedom without fear. God wants to bless us so much, He doesn’t want us to suffer. All God is asking is that we love Him back. Why is that so hard? Such a small price to pay for peace and happiness.
May God Bless You and Your Family
Choose Life Don’t Abort
Choose Life Podcast
Who are we to destroy what God has formed in the womb? Choose Life
Since when did God give us the right to decide whether a baby lives or dies? From what I can tell, scripture repeatedly states that God forms us while we are in the womb. Isaiah 44: 2, “Thus says God who made you, who formed you from the womb.” Isaiah 44: 24, “Thus says God, your redeemer, He who formed you in the womb; I, Myself, God, made all things.” Read more
Be Pleased O God To Deliver Us
Be Pleased O’ God To Deliver Us Podcast
From the Psalms:
“Be Pleased O God To Deliver Us, O Lord Make Haste To Help Us”
This is a nice, little, but powerful prayer. Use this prayer to call on the Lord to help you fast. Like when Satan and his buddies are attacking you. Before you begin to pray, repeat this prayer over and over for a little while, it will help clear your mind of distractions and negative thoughts. Having a clear mind will help us focus on our prayers to God by not having our thoughts wander to and fro. This prayer, repeated as many times as you need, will help send them away.
Satan and his demons are the ruler of the air. They will steer anyone they can in the wrong direction through the power of suggestion, lies, deception and ways that are so clever, you would think that what you are doing is right, when actually it is wrong.
We need to find ways to combat the evil that is in the air and the evil that is all around us. By following Jesus, He will lead us on the path that will bring us to receiving the Spirit of Truth that will help us to discern what is truth so that we will not be deceived by our own thoughts or by suggestions from the evil ones. Be pleased O’ God to deliver us from the evil one.
We need to have faith and trust in God. For He will deliver us from death, as long as we are not rebellious and follow in our sinful ways. It’s up to us to change our ways. Help has always been there waiting for us to ask. There’s really no excuse. We should stop relying on the world and the things of it for our happiness.
There is no lasting happiness that the world can offer you, even if you had all the money you could ever need. Without God, we will always be empty and lonely inside. Only God’s love can fill those voids and bring us true peace, happiness and freedom. The world as well as Satan offer death, but only God can deliver us from death through His blessed Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus will baptise us with Spirit and Fire.
Jesus is waiting on you. He’s ready, are you?
Be Pleased O’ God…
May God Bless You Dearly
