B.J. FLETCHER: The time has come for Americans to wake up

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

These are some trying times the world is facing. If anyone in their right mind cares, they have to be asking or knowing why. They must do their own research, and they must have someone or something to turn to.

I try to never judge what god someone chooses to worship. I just know the God I know. I love God, America, Israel, Albany and all other counties or cities that aren’t full of evil. I love knowledge.

Where do we get the truth now? Surely not from American news media. Surely not Washington. And sadly, the only truth we can stand on is what we see, or in many cases, what the Bible says.

Did you know it was predicted Israel would be so strong in 2020? It’s not about the land. It’s about a Great War that will show the world how strong Israel is.

The U.S. has a part in what’s going on now. We have a role, and we are now paying for turning our back on God. I truly feel the entire world is about to suffer.

For many years, starting with the act of taking prayer out of school, we have been in a decline. But as typical people do, if you don’t feel the danger because you seem to be doing financially well, look at your neighbor. Look at your city, state and federal leaders. How are they doing?

The best thing that could happen to America is for every voter in this country to see how their leaders vote. They can see this, but it’s actually easier for them to get info from a news outlet that tells their opinions or what their boss tells them to say because, to be honest, many Americans now are lazy and entitled. It’s amazing how many call themselves Christians, say they vote, but can’t tell you what their elected officials have voted on.

From local leaders who vote themselves fat raises or state leaders who are now voting on state budgets, to federal leaders who are pledging that nine-month abortions will be law of the land and borders that are being overwhelmed by illegal immigrates. Yes, we need legal people to come if they live in fear, but it needs to be done right.

We live in a time where, to me, you should be embarrassed to be affiliated with a party like Republicans or Democrats. If you don’t vote for the one that stands close to God’s values, we will all answer for our actions.

We are now in a war we know nothing about. Our men and woman are once again being slaughtered. We are now paying tons of money for gas, food or utilities, and we just take it. We see businesses close, and we don’t wonder how the families affected are making it.

We have just become a nation that aids all the evil that is happening to our schools, our businesses, our families. We don’t question what our kids are being taught. That’s our future, folks. If the world is here, that’s the generation that will be making decisions for your future.

So it seems like you can maybe spend less time on social media and more time at the kitchen table with your Bible. It’s the only truth that’s out here. My prayer is that when you wake up at 3 a.m., just maybe think that God is nudging you.

Have a great day. Be safe. Almost 10 million illegal immigrants have hit our land. Watch your surroundings. When all these folks get here, supported by your money, they will build schools to indoctrinate their children. And yours. If your kids are taught like animals, then don’t be surprised when they act like animals. Be safe; wake up America. It’s not always about you and your needs.
