A LOT OF IRONS IN THE FIRE is an old cowboy ex-

pression meaning one has a lot to do and is busy do-ing it. At the old cattle brandings there was a wood fire, and branding irons were laid in the flames and hot coals to be heated and used. A man tended the fire and kept the irons hot and the branding opera-tion would keep going at a quick pace.

Well, that’s the way it is here at Scriptures for America. We have a lot of irons in the fire. We are working on Project LOGOS (sending out the pure Word of God, in various languages, throughout the world on shortwave radio). We hope to perhaps have it up and going by Passover. We’ve had a crew installing an additional 400 amp, 480 volt 3 phase service for the transmitter. We added a 12 ½ ton air handler for cooling and put in intake and exhaust duct work. We’ve had to replace a bad capacitor (costs $5,000) and the additional copper wire ran us $8,000. Then we got hit with an unsuspected high electrical deposit. I put this out just to give the flock an idea of the size of this project and cost.

This preacher has had two men working on D.C. Street Sorcery Documentary II & III. These will be far better then D.C Street Sorcery, for we’ve researched and found more hidden sorcery secrets “they” are using on us. We’ve added a new program on the Scrip-tures for America Worldwide Broadcasting Network called, “Vibrant Vibrations.” It is aired on Friday nights at 8:00 pm mountain time. It’s also archived at our website www.sfaw.org

The eleven Prophecy sermons done at the first of the year are now being advertised at other websites and on other networks, and the PROPHECY PACKET is now available from this Ministry.

We are making plans for the biggest ever and most blessed Branson, Missouri Gathering we’ve ever had; June 4, 5, & 6, 2011. This preacher is writing a “Stomping Satan Manual” for the Acres of Diamonds Men’s Meeting on the Thursday and Friday prior to the gathering. Acres of Diamonds Men-get ready!

The Lord is revealing new weaponry to this preacher to be debuted in Branson in June. This year there will be an even greater emphasis on worship and expecting miracles.

Our new website is still in the building process. Please be patient with us.

These are just a few of the irons we have in the fire. Jesus once asked if He’d find faith when He returned. Faith is different than belief. Faith is acting on what one believes. The work we are getting done is due in part to the faithful remnant we minister to; supporting us in tithes, offerings, and prayer. Right now we need them all to get all that we need to do done. If you’re not tithing, read Malachi

3:10. Believe it, and then act upon it. Keep us in your prayers. We need them. Speaking of prayer, you will note a change in this month’s prayer (see page 26). Please pray it. Still Sincerely Stomping Snakes, Pastor Peter J. Peters

As many of you have noticed, your church’s website was hacked by some un-godly children of the devil. Please pray for these children of the devil hackers, as David prayed for those who hated him and his God (See Psalms 91:15,16). We are currently completely re-building the SFA website into a better, more user-friendly, more up-to-date, and more secure website. We ask for your patience and your continued prayers.

To properly understand world events and your own world that you personally live in, you need to have an understanding of an ancient prophecy. And I will put enmity Be-tween you and the woman, And be-tween your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel. Genesis 3:15 Here’s how it is. Accept it or not, believe it or not: THE DEVIL IS AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL ARE! This the Bible clearly teaches and this Jesus Christ made known when He said, "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father.” John 8:44 This statement is more than just a metaphor, it’s a confirmation of Genesis 3:15. In the parable of the tares and wheat, Jesus made it known that in the last days of this age the field would be full of sons of the evil one. And He answered and said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, and the field is the world; and as for the

good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are an-gels. Therefore just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.” Matthew 13:37-40

Snake Bite Page 5 Scriptures for America DragonSlayer Volume 3, 2011

Another word for tares or sons-of-the-devil is “snakes” or “vipers.” Jesus used this terminology as well (Matthew 23:33). Concerning snakes, Jeremiah the prophet said: “For behold, I am sending serpents against you, Adders, for which there is no charm, And they will bite you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 8:17 It is a fact of life at this time in life you will suffer snake bite. The purpose of this article is to teach you how to handle the poison of the snake bite. The teaching of the present day Judeo-Christian religion concerning anger, hate, forgiveness, and social interaction is wrong. It’s taught that we are all God’s children. This is a lie. There are, according to the Bible, “the wicked.” There are different species of snakes, some with more poisonous venom than another. The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear, Psalm 58:3,4 These creatures are creatures of instinct. But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the de-struction of those creatures also be destroyed, suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they ca-rouse with you, having eyes full of adultery and that never cease from sin, enticing un-stable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children; 2 Peter 2:12-14 They are wired differently and they often do as Jesus said: "You are doing the deeds of your father."

BIBLE TEACHING CONCERNING THE WAYS OF THE WICKED: THEY LURK AND LAY TO ATTACK: They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. Psalms 56:6 I call these types sleeper snakes. They lie in wait, ready to strike, to bring men down when the time is right. THEY DELIGHT IN FALSEHOOD AND STRIVE TO PULL A MAN DOWN. How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But in-wardly they curse. Selah. Psalm 62:3,4 THEY ARE ROBBED OF SLEEP UNLESS THEY DO EVIL. For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble. Proverbs 4:16 THEY SLANDER For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land. And they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, "Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!" Psalm 35:20,21 Note how they come against the innocent, i.e. those who are 'quiet in the land.' The claim they saw evil of someone, when the truth is it’s all made up and they saw nothing. The dumb, nice, unsus-pecting sheep then think 'there must be something to it, or why else would they say it?'


THEY REPAY GOOD WITH EVIL They repay me evil for good, To the bereave-ment of my soul. Psalms 35:12 THEY HATE WITHOUT A CAUSE Do not let those who are wrongfully my ene-mies rejoice over me; Neither let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously. Psalm 35:19 This hatred without a cause is in reality the natural enmity prophesied in Genesis 3:15. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed;… The sheep people can hate, but normally need a cause or a reason, and a good reason at that, thus they don't get it that someone hates them for no cause. A CHANGE IS COMING AND IS SO PROPHE-SIED We will once again see them for what they are. So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. Malachi 3:18 We will awaken to the reality this article is addressing, i.e., we will recognize the unclean. Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For the uncir-cumcised and the unclean Will no more come into you. Isaiah 52:1

...between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. Malachi 3:18

The famous poem by Rudyard Kipling, known as "The Day the Anglo-Saxon Began to Hate" was originally titled "THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED."

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,

It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved, They were icy willing to wait

Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state.

No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred. It will not swiftly abate.

Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date

That the Saxon began to hate.


The good news is we will come to realize how 'they' hate us. Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you. You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. Their offspring Thou wilt destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. Though they intended evil against Thee, And devised a plot, They will not succeed. For Thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt aim with Thy bowstrings at their faces. Be Thou exalted, O LORD, in Thy strength; We will sing and praise Thy power. Psalms 21:8-13 God's people, the sheep, presently have a unique problem of their own-THEY LOVE WITHOUT A CAUSE. Their mind has been deceived and poisoned by the leaven of the Pharisee (Matthew 16:6,12) that they are to love everyone and have an un-conditional love. This phenomenon of loving the wicked brings the wrath of God upon us. "…Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD and so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD? 2 Chronicles 19:2 (When wicked wolves in sheep's clothing pose as Christian conservatives and teachers, such as the guy that goes by the name of Marrs in Texas, that tells the people to love the Jews. He is secretly bringing wrath and a curse on God's people. He of course adamantly denies who the true Israel people are. Watch these guys, and don't support them…)

HOW TO HANDLE AND HOW NOT TO HANDLE SNAKE BITE As previously stated, there are a vari-ety of snake species. Many are put in the work place with them and there will be some that irritate you, wrong you and you'll find yourself coming home fuming. It's called SNAKE BITE. The frequency they create is tension, anger, irritation, etc… It's the opposite of peace, and they feed on it. I think that's the deeper meaning of Isaiah 48:22; "There is no peace for the wicked." The snake-oil salesmen priests in the present modern-day church pulpits, known as Judeo preachers and ministers will tell the snake-bit victims not to be angry, will tell them to forgive and have unconditional love. This is not an anti-venom antidote medicine, rather it actually enhances and magnifies the snake-bit

person! To have the right and Biblical mindset on this matter, one has to come to understand the difference between the tares and the wheat. Jesus made it known that the wheat, in the par-able of the tares and wheat, was

the good seed and were the sons of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:18). These are God's people, for He is the God if Israel, and Israel is the sheep of His pasture and inheritors of the Kingdom. They are kinsmen brothers and sisters. The point is we are not to get angry with, or be angry with a BROTHER. We are to love them and forgive them, even when they've wronged us. This Je-sus clearly taught. "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca,' shall be guilty before the supreme court;


and whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Matthew 5:22 We are to be kind to one another, forgiving one another and loving one another. Such is not the case when it comes to that group the Bible identifies as "the wicked" or the sons of hell tares. With the wicked, we are to be angry, particularly when they strike and bite and do the evil that they do. This the Bible teaches with them one needs to have a fiery anger and make them a fiery oven in the time of your anger. Your hand will find out all your enemies; Your right hand will find out those who hate you. You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The LORD will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. Their offspring Thou wilt destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. Though they intended evil against Thee, And devised a plot, They will not succeed. Psalms 21:8-11 As for forgiving them- DO NOT FORGIVE THE UN-FORGIVEABLE. Your anger will help fuel God's anger and you want your God to deal with them in His anger. Yet Thou, O LORD, knowest All their deadly designs against me; Do not forgive their iniquity Or blot out their sin from Thy sight. But may they be overthrown before Thee; Deal with them in the time of Thine anger! Jeremiah 18:23 The prophets of old understood this concept of non-forgiveness for the enemies of God. Do not forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blot-ted out before Thee, for they have demoralized the builders. Nehemiah 4:5 Do Thou add iniquity to their iniquity, And may they not come into Thy righteousness. May they be blotted out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous. Psalm 69:27,28 The Baal priests will point out that, on the cross, Jesus said; "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34.

Snake Bite Page 12

This was not a blanket forgiveness for the wicked Jew conspirators knew what they were doing. The context shows that Jesus was praying for the guards who were casting lots for His garments. [For more information of this subject, we recommend you order and listen to our message "Lord, Forgive That I For-give", #1125.] Your anger will fuel and empower your Imprecatory Prayers and against the wicked. It is the "FERVENT" prayer of a righteous man that brings results (James 5:16 KJV). Fervency has to do with being hot. When you hunger and thirst after right-eousness (Matthew 5:6), you want payback. But, it's got to be God who does the paying back, for vengeance is His (Deuteronomy 32:35). If you don't properly control your anger, this will never happen. You must be angry, and sin not. This is a Bible truth. Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. Ephesians 4:26,27 With a snake bite, it can become very easy to have sinful anger, and give the devil an opportunity. Sinful anger comes when you allow the sun to go down on it and you give the devil an opportunity. It's called FRETTING. The Bible forbids fret-ting over evil doers. Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. Psalm 37:1 The word fret means to burn or be kindled with anger. People will say "that just burns me up," or "that makes me hot under the collar," etc… What happens with a snake bite that causes one to fret, is the victim becomes bitter (this is the snakes’ poisonous venom), and the person replays in the mind what was done to them, and the injustice of it all. This kind of anger and fretting can make you physically and mentally sick, and affects other (Hebrews 12:15).


When Paul was physically bitten by a poisonous viper (Acts 23:3-5), he was able to throw it off into the fire and simply go on. When one is snake bitten, he or she needs to do the same; simply throw it into the fire, so to speak, and then, as Paul did, go on with life, without fretting and fuming over what the snake has done. In other words, DROP IT. Commit it to God and trust Him to take care of the matter. He is just, He causes ALL things to work for good, and remember, Vengeance is His! This the Bi-ble teaches. Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. For they will wither quickly like the grass, And fade like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. And He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Be-cause of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret, it leads only to evildoing. For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land. Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place, and he will not be there. Psalm 37:1-10 Another word for fretting could be anxiety. Satan fears our prayers, particularly the binding and loosing prayers. Anxiety and lack of peace hin-ders our prayers. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6

Snake Bite Page 14

A person who frets over the evil doer and what the evil doer did becomes like a sick child with a fever, who whines, cries, fusses and is not at peace. It will make you sick, and will give the devil an opportunity, and stops the vengeance of God. The writer of this article speaks from experience. There are two ways a saint can learn and grow in the grace and knowl-edge of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). The hard way, or the easy way. The easy way is to learn from the teacher, who learned the hard way. Jeremiah the Prophet had learned the hard way (Jeremiah 11:18-20). There is someone you need to forgive. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for being nice (nice means stupid..), for being naïve, and for being downright stupid at times. Don't fret and beat yourself up over the past--it sets up a frequency that is de-pressing, and the snakes feed on that frequency. Confess your sins to the Lord and He will forgive (1 John 1:8-10), and remem-ber the words of Romans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Remember they just do what they do, for a bad tree CAN-NOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT (Matthew 7:18). Jesus made it clear that the bad fruit tree would be thrown into the fire. "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Matthew 7:19 This the prophets understood (Matthew 3:5-11). Your anger and God kindles that fire, but fretting pre-vents it, and changes flaming fire and righteous judgment into an ineffective, stinking, smoking smoldering. It takes time to iden-tify the fruitless tree, for you have to give it time to go through the seasons to see if it can bear good fruit, or not. That is some of what the cursing of the fruitless fig tree that Jesus did is all about. The tree had no fruit, so He cursed it (Mark 11). Once upon a time, a Christian man was taking a bike ride in Florida with his son. There were fruit trees beside the road. He asked his son, what kind of trees are those? Are they orange


trees, tangerine trees, or grapefruit? The son said I can't tell, until I see what kind of fruit they bear. Exactly, replied the dad. The point is, sometimes we have to give it time to deter-mine what kind of tree we are dealing with. The wicked are, ac-cording to Jude, trees without fruit (see Jude 12). Jude says they are grumblers, they cause division, they flatter, they are worldly minded, are hidden reefs in our love feasts, and are devoid of the spirit (Jude 12-19). Be cautious. Pray for wisdom. Be wise as a serpent (Matthew 10:16). Often, when they are getting flushed out, they will play the sympathy, pity card. They try to get people to side with the viper rather than the victim of snake bite. pjp

SFA, Nice talking to you earlier. It is so good to know that the Lord's Spirit works HIS wonderful truth in the hearts of his children even if we are scattered all over the world. As I said, the SFA Ser-mons and Bible studies are like Manna to us and we are learning so much. My husband says that until recently it felt like we were on a Cross Border Operation with no contact with HQ...That is of course until we found "Scriptures for America" on the Internet. It is so interesting to notice that the same "Tidal-wave of na-tions" are hitting the world where GOD's people are currently resid-ing. Here in SA, the indigenous ones have always been here, but now we are overwhelmed by the rest of Africa as well. Well, we read about the time of Jacob's trouble and I guess we are experiencing it in this times. It is wonderful to see how Prophecies are being fulfilled in our time, and we hold fast to the Promises made by our Lord. We LOVE the SFA song "Standing on the Promises". May the Lord bless the SFA Ministry. Cape Town, South Africa

Passover and the 91st Days

Page 16

Keeping the Passover in 2011 is most important. Join us LIVE at the LaPorte Church of Christ if

you can. (Please RSVP if you plan on attending in person. We will gather at the LaPorte Church of Christ after lunch on Satur-day; April 2, 2011 for an afternoon of fellowship and an evening meal at 5 pm, followed by the Passover Service. ) Plan now and listen to the Passover message we will give on April 2, 2011;

starting at 6:30 pm Mtn time, streamed live from the LaPorte Church of Christ (live video--just like our Sunday morning Church Service) on Internet, short-wave radio and satellite. It will be archived at our Ministry website, www.scripturesforamerica.org, and also at the Network website, www.SFAWBN.com, and it will be available on CD & DVD.

91st Days for 2011 The final 91st Days for solar year 2010 will be March 18 & 19, 2011; the 2010 solar-year-ending double day. This completes the 2010 solar year and is followed by the Spring Equinox (Sunday, March 20, 2011) the begin-ning of the 2011 solar year. Passover follows 14 days later, on April 2, 2011. Here is a quick synopsis of the 91st Days for 2011.

Passover and the 91st Days


The Spring Equinox (Sunday; March 20, 2011) is the beginning of the 2011 solar year (it is the first day of Abib, day 1). April 2, 2011 is the Passover for 2011 (the 14th day of Abib).

Following Passover Day, there are four 91st Days, which are like Soldier Sabbaths and likened as the four fin-gers on a hand. Passover is likened as the "thumb day". Each day begins at high noon (remember to adjust for Day-light Savings Time). (For more information on the day be-ginning at noon, we suggest our 4 part series “The Sab-bath”, available on CD.)

We suggest you read and pray the 91st Psalm on these 91st Days, and observe these days as Sabbaths. These Soldier Sabbaths are in addition to the regular 7th day “Lord’s Day” observed by the early Church and by Christians today. If you simply cannot observe these 91st Days Sabbaths, the truth of Romans 8:1 is still the promise to the Christian. The following are the dates for the 91st Days for cal-endar year 2011. June 18, 2011

September 17, 2011 December 17, 2011 We realize it will only be the “remnant of the rem-nant” that Pastor Peters calls the “Barley first-fruit Gideon force” that takes seriously the 91st Days teachings. For more explanation on these teachings, order our “91st Days Packet”, available from this ministry . It can also be read at the Ministry website,

‘A Most Touchy Subject’ it is— Continued… As said last issue, the year was 1987 and the whole SFA Rocky Mountain camp was draw-

ing to an end at the time of the message. My own 15 month old son had just been through almost five days of semi-formal church training and oh how fine it was, we (my late husband Kelly and I) were without a doubt winning, though our little one had certainly challenged us far more than we expected. At home he knew what was expected and acceptable of him (for the most part) but here he was learning and testing us in public as it was his first church camp meeting training for him. As a matter of fact, the first time I saw our Pastor he was just heading up the aisle to deliver his first message of the camp as I was heading down the isle with my son under one arm and rod under the other. My son had not even made it through the singing and first greetings before he started the ‘catch me if ya can, mom/dad’ game. We had been taking turns taking him out of the midst of the congregation to correct him and at last we could sit through 3-4 messages a day with him either sleeping or playing with a couple of toys quietly between the two of us. But this did not happen without a few condemning attitudes, looks, and even comments towards us for using ‘a rod’ on that ‘cute, sweet little boy.’ Of course today we would have needed to be even more dis-creet to correct the child. Then one woman actually made it her business to stand by the back door and try to shame us for ‘expecting soooo much from your young son.’ As near as we could tell there was only one other couple (a dad) who was expecting something similar

A Most Touchy Subject

1987 Rocky Mountain Family Bible Camp

CD



from his 17-18 month old daughter as us. The rest of the chil-dren/babies seemed to have their parents trained to ‘entertain’ them through the services or spent the camp in the nursery. I tried that once the first day to give my son a break and all I heard in there was gossip as I watched my son play. We came to camp to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I tell you what, we were determined to do just that. Parents, if you hunger and thirst after wisdom and knowledge, you will not let a child steal your opportunity for it. Those who have an older sibling who can offer some sitting with the young ones to give them break (as we did, my older daughter), are quite fortunate, but so many parents underesti-mate the ability of a young child to sit quiet and somewhat still for a reasonable amount of time. Children without a doubt look to us as to what is expected and acceptable. The problem with many parents (at that camp in general) was/is so many of them look to their children to see what to expect. Like the tail wag-ging the dog concept. That’s 100% opposite of God’s Way. Right before the message “A Most Touchy Subject” was preached, on the last evening, they did a skit. It was rightly called, “The Battle of the Ages.” I remember well two very common battles all of us parents seem to face which I will de-scribe later in this writing. They showed a BIG baby, control-ling and showing how babies get their way. Then they showed the mom expecting what is right from the baby. It was quite truthful parents, if you expect what is right from your child you will get it, and of course, demanding right does not always in-volve a rod. In Pastor’s message, he points out not only do our chil-dren need us to place firm guidelines, they want it and feel more secure when you place them and do not waver. Follow through! Teach them to be polite and courteous, and expect it. He addresses the old thought of children should be seen and not heard. It is satan who wants you answering to them non-stop on your every move/thought parents. We have all seen it in today’s society, i.e. children ruling, reigning, and arguing –


Page 20

parents answering to them and pleading with them. One concept I espe-cially wish to address in this writing, that Pastor touched on in this message from the past, is parents ought not to be so concerned if they are always being so perfectly fair in disciplining children. Of course we should try to be “just,” but sometimes it would take hours and/or an all seeing eye to know what is fair and just. I remember a child being pun-ished unjustly a few times and when I complained to my dad he would tell me, “well young lady, if I wasn’t ‘fair’ just think of a time you did something wrong that you didn’t get punished for and put it on that time,” and boy did that ever get my mind pon-dering. I always found something to put it on. And my dad had a lot more peace, as we knew better than to bicker back and forth. For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a man bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. I Peter 2:19-20 I love what Pastor has to say concerning older youth in this fairy message as well. But you will just have to hear it for yourself as this writing is getting long. Before I close though, I will describe four of the rounds in the skit performance that eve-ning before the message, and then close with a vision we all ought to have. “The Battle of the Ages” skit: One round was a baby around 5 months. Baby’s fed, clean, healthy, laid down for the night. Baby wakes 3 a.m., fusses, mom comes feeds, diapers clean, no fever, but baby still is fussy. Mom frets, “what’s wrong she wonders” rocks baby, baby’s happy, mom’s sleepless, baby wins/mom loses. Another round – baby’s 5 months. Baby’s fed, clean, healthy, laid down for night, wakes 3 a.m., mom comes feeds, checks



clean diaper, no fever, commands baby to go back to sleep be-cause all is well! Baby hears sureness in voice. All sleep. Mom won the round. Another round – baby 1 year old in high chair with more food than needed. Baby throws food on floor (on purpose of course), mom frets, complains whole time she cleans mess up. Baby won. Another round – baby 1 year old in high chair with more food than needed. Baby throws food on floor (on purpose of course), mom comes removes baby from chair, baby is ordered to pick all food up, mom won! And of course baby stops play-ing that messy game, mom won again.

You get the idea, we have all seen it. We have many children at the LaPorte Church who are a great joy to be around. Most all occasions in which we venture out with them we hear how unusually pleasant they are i.e. how they get along, help each other, politely engage in quiet conver-sations. Their parents we see work hard to make them a delight to be around and visit with. The vision I want to close with is found in Psalm 144:12.

“Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;” Hallelujah!

Pastor Peters, In the 1996 Hollyweird science-fiction movie, “MARS ATTACKS” the aliens invading earth are destroyed when they hear country music. Maybe “they” were telling a truth about something “they” can’t handle. Music, in praise of Jesus!!! In this movie, when “they” hear the music, their brains explode!! Via Email

Prayer for the Scriptures for America

Gideon-Elite Prayer Warriors March 2011

This month’s prayer differs from previous months in that it is not so much of an imprecatory prayer as it is a prayer of awakening for the remnant Christian soldiers who are still fighting. To be more awakened and aware of not just the snakes and tares that are in our midst, but of the power and might and authority we have, through faith, over them (Luke 10:19). The prayer is a direct take off from Colossians 1:9-15 For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glo-rious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and pa-tience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has quali-fied us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and trans-ferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. And He is the im-age of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation.

March Prayer


Lord Jesus, I pray that You would fill us with the knowledge of Your Will in all spiritual wisdom and un-derstanding so that we, Your remnant Gideon fighters, may walk in a manner that is worthy of You to please You in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in Your knowledge, strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience joyously. In Jesus’ Name we pray and we thank You for the complete and total answer to this prayer.

These monthly prayers are mailed to those that request them, and are posted at our Ministry website.

Scriptures For America Ministry

U.S. Marine Corp Major General Smedley Butler spent 34 years in the Armed Forces, twice receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor, as well as the Marine Corps Brevet Medal, and he spoke out fer-vently against the U.S. being involved in foreign wars. Read in this little booklet a

speech that he gave, and the reasons for his beliefs that the U.S. should NOT get entangled in foreign wars; wars that kill and cripple the best and brightest, and make wealthy the corrupt and the banker. Truth is timeless, and the truths told in this booklet are still as true today as they were when it was written, only on a greater scale; greater in deaths, and in profits. This booklet is available from Scriptures for America Ministry for a donation of $5.00.
