Battle for Britain: Brexit or Not?

Opinions
Oliver Cromwell

400 years ago, this country faced a civil war. If you know your history, you will see the major person in this event of history is Oliver Cromwell. Much of the values and the things we all enjoy today were won by this man and the parliamentarians: the right to education and many of the good things we have experienced in this land. In his day, the conflict was between Charles I and Parliament. There was a statement that he made that stated clearly Parliament was sovereign by the will of the people and it was the people who decided the direction of the nation. We now have a situation where the Speaker, Mr John Bercow, has turned this on its head. We have a surrender bill which even Tony Benn, the father of Hilary Benn, would be appalled at.

On 31 October, if our Prime Minister is true to his word, this nation should be free. If you have read my previous articles you will see we have two choices as a Christian nation. If we end up back in the EU I believe prophetically many of our Christian values, which have been squandered away over many years, will be taken away for good. Our freedom of speech, our right to assembly and our right to preach the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in our towns and cities. Many of us have seen over the past few years many street preachers arrested under Article 35, which was a law that was brought in to do with football hooligans, but the police and the judiciary have manipulated this law to trap those who wish to put their faith on the line and preach in our towns and cities across England.

So whenever the general election takes place, if you are a remainer, then I would ask you to consider as a Christian if this is a position you could align with Scripture and feel comfortable with, as if you vote to stay in the EU I will be bold enough to say you are fighting not against man but God Himself.

When I and many of my generation voted in 1975, we voted for the Common Market. The House, prime ministers such as John Major and Tony Blair, have manipulated the will of the British people to draw us into a federal Europe. We are now seeing the gloves coming off. There is talk about a European army, which if these people get their way many of your children will be conscripted to, a European defence force and many other institutions which I believe are antichrist. So this is the world you will live in if we stay part of the EU. If we come out of the EU, there will be bumps along the way but we shall have the right to elect our MPs to represent us, the people, in our nation. We shall have the right to trade on WTO rules around the world. So I for one will not listen to Project Fear, which is orchestrated by the globalists who wish to dumb us down like zombies.

So if you have not already done so, make your view known to your MP by writing, or when we do come to a general election if your MP is a remainer vote against him or her.

My only concern about all this is where are the Christian leaders? Are they, like the redefining of marriage, hiding behind their positions, their pay packets or their pulpits? I know that I am the last in this nation when it comes to ministers, but I for one am prepared to give my life for the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I will never give my life to the fake entertainment, backslapping, weak gospel that I see today. I long to see leaders stand up and be counted that I can be proud to follow. I see on the major Christian media that there is not even a debate on these subjects. Why? Are they running scared or just men-pleasers and not pleasing God? Please, ladies and gentlemen, get some backbone. Let us have a debate, as we are not just citizens of the United Kingdom but we are ultimately citizens of Christ’s kingdom.

If this offends you, then it is not me you are angry with but the Holy Spirit, as all through this Brexit debate I have waited upon the Lord and I have been led by the Holy Spirit to write these things, so if you disagree with me then comment below, as it is time the Christian church got more engaged as this affects you, your children, your church and your civil rights. I am a supporter of the Brexit Party and so are many of my colleagues as we believe ultimately in democracy and freedom. What do you believe in?

Trick or Treaty: 31 October

Opinions

On 31 October, we shall know which way this spiritual battle is going to turn. We shall either be a sovereign nation again, free to determine our destiny and trade with the rest of the world, or we shall be, as in the days of the Israelites, bound to the EU, as Pharaoh bound the children of Israel to build the pyramids. In those days, God sent a man called Moses with his brother Aaron and said, “Let My people go.” I believe now, if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ, we all have a decision that must be made soon. We have seen the evil nature of our politicians and our only recourse is when a general election is called as it must. If our Prime Minister gets a clean-break Brexit, then the forces of light have won. We shall be free. But if he rehashes the treaty and we are not out of the back-stop, customs union and the legal frameworks of the EU, the pure facts are we shall be run by a dictatorship, the EU. We shall have no freedom and I believe eventually our freedom to express our faith will be taken away from us. Our children will be indoctrinated by the LGBT communities. The political correct brigade and the thought police will determine everything we do.

If you are a liberal, wishy-washy, lapsed Christian then you will accept these things. I dare say when they introduce the mark of the beast, you could even take the mark. Now is the time, as the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians, to put away foolish things, to get back to the word of God, to watch and pray and look up and wait for the returning of our Lord Jesus Christ and work while there is still day. My prayer for our nation and the world is that the church of Jesus Christ would get back to the real mission of Matthew 28:

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

As our Lord said, the only purpose for us believers to still be on this earth is not to build bigger houses or bigger barns; it is to reach the lost. There are billions of souls that will be swept into the eternal abyss of hell if we the church do not put away our petty differences, our denominational squabbles, and get on with the real work. If we accept the LBGTQ agenda and the globalist mantra which comes from the heart of Satan then we might as well sit down, make a cup of tea and invite Satan into our houses, our homes and our churches. God forbid that we would. My prayer is that the senior leaders of this nation and around the world would get back on their knees, put away their stupid programmes and seek the Lord God Almighty. We see all the signs around the world and in our day-to-day living that the devil is bringing together his final attack on the saints of God here in the UK, in the US and around the world. The word of God says Satan comes in like an angel of light. Be careful, my brothers and sisters, what light you are under as that will determine where you will spend your eternal life. The words of our Lord are clear in Matthew 7:

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I hope this message challenges you, shakes you out of any complacency you may be in or apathy and puts fire back in your bones. As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord, even unto the shedding of blood if need be.

Why Has Our Nation Offended Mr Trump?

Opinions

This week, we have seen something that I believe is another step closer to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have seen the forces of darkness come out on the streets of the capital of this nation, London, led by a man I believe to be totally anti-Christ, Sadiq Khan, Lord Mayor of London, who many across this nation believe is not fit for office.

If you do your own search, you will find out the organisation that led the protest against the most powerful leader in the western world is communist-backed. This was revealed on Piers Morgan’s programme Good Morning, Britain, as the leader of the protest was drawn out as Piers Morgan asked some fundamental questions, why were there not protests against the Chinese premier, the leader of Turkey and the Saudi king, and she could not answer. This just shows the pure hypocrisy of the communist left, whose aims are purely to put this country into chaos. If you looked at the TV coverage you will have seen that many of the people that marched were LGBT and those that are totally anti-Christ. As for the abomination that was flown over London the other day, the blimp of President Trump, our Prime Minister and those in Parliament should hold their heads in shame. This is much of what the Bible says: in the end times there will be eating, drinking and feasting and Jesus will come back like a thief in the night.

My brothers and sisters, I believe it is your duty to write to your MPs, also write to the BBC and the media channels and also to OFCOM, informing them of your total disgust at the coverage and also the biased nature of the media, as many organisations have tried to counter this garbage and it is clear who controls the media: the globalists. There is a counter-protest that will be taking place soon, which has raised over £50,000 to build a blimp of Sadiq Khan, which is at the moment applying for permission to fly over London. It will be interesting to see if Sadiq Khan authorises this, but I would not hold my breath, as many of the politicians of this nation have no moral fabric and no moral compass.

It is time we the body of Christ got on our knees and prayed for our nation. Since Brexit, this nation has been split. I personally believe that it is God’s will that we come out of Europe and that we stand alone and trust in God. For hundreds of years, God has never let down this nation. I believe it is the body of Christ’s responsibility to get on our knees and seek our God to bring this nation back to Him. I would that the leaders of the body of Christ would seek God again as they did in the past. It also tells us in the scriptures that in the end times people will be lovers of self and I see much of this in the modern church today. The only purpose I have ever seen for the church is Matthew 28: 19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.” This is the command of our Lord and the purpose of the church. I hope like me you are praying for this nation that we shall come back to God again.

If you have any views on this please do not hesitate to add your comments. It is time that the Christians of this nation started to debate the truth. There is no excuse for being silent, as Jesus told us that everyone who confesses Him before men, He will also confess him before His Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies Him before men, He will also deny him before His Father who is in heaven (Matthew 10: 32-33).

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord

Opinions

23rd/24th June 2016 will long be remembered as two momentous days in the history of the United Kingdom. On 23rd, the British people were given the opportunity to decide whether their country should remain in the European Union or leave the European Union. On 24th, it became clear that they had decided to leave. We believe that this was the right choice and, since most Christians will have prayed, “Your will be done on earth as it is on heaven,” we trust this is the will of God. We agree with those politicians and commentators who have declared that 24th June is our Independence Day and should be commemorated as such.

As well as making this historic decision about the future of the UK, we believe the British people have made a number of statements that need to be taken note of:

  1. They have put sovereignty above economic self-interest. They have counted the cost of short-term financial upheaval and considered it a price worth paying for freedom
  2. They have chosen hope over fear and truth over deception.
  3. They have thumbed their noses at politicians, financiers and the elite who despise working people and consider them incapable of understanding political issues and making decisions about them.

We also suggest that there are a number of lessons to be learned and principles to be adopted from the word of God as we now move on from the referendum into this next chapter of the UK’s history:

  1. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 13: 34). In championing same-sex ‘marriage’ David Cameron took on Almighty God and suffered the consequences. Let his successor take heed.
  2. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6: 33). Our nation may be about to experience a number of economic challenges. If we order our affairs according to Kingdom principles we can be confident of God’s provision and blessing.
  3. Man and woman shall not live by bread alone (Matthew 4: 4). Economic considerations must never be the sole criteria by which a course of action is judged to be right or wrong, as the ‘Remain’ campaign seemed to be insisting.
  4. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5: 15-16). We trust that by leading us out of the EU the Lord is giving us a window of opportunity to prepare for His return. Perhaps He is keeping us out of a godless superstate which will provide the setting in which the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2: 3) will arise. We must use this time to pursue God’s agenda, to rescue the perishing, to care for the needy and not just to seek our own well being.
  5. In becoming disconnected from the EU we must not become isolationist. Our commission is to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28: 19). We are also to take in the stranger (Matthew 25: 35) and remember the prisoners as if chained with them (Hebrews 13: 3), which surely includes refugees and our persecuted brothers and sisters in the Middle East and elsewhere.

If you are a citizen of the United Kingdom, we hope that you can say with us, “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalms 118: 24) whichever way you voted. Britain outside the EU is the new reality. We have to live with it whether we agree or not. As a United Kingdom, let us now work together to bring this nation back under God’s rule and reign.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Psalms 33: 12).

The EU Referendum and the New World Order

Opinions

Like many of you I have been praying about the forthcoming referendum.

I do believe as a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian we would be better out of the EU than in the EU. On 24 June 2016 dependent on what the British public say, we will have to live with the consequences. I have listened to a lot of fear but I am reminded in Scripture that God does not work through fear. I do believe that the body of Christ is the true government on this earth and I do believe through prayer we can change many things by God’s grace.

Reference my previous article on this issue, I still hold fast to what God told me at the beginning, that if we remain in the EU then the setting up of the new world order and the apostasy church will come soon. This can be found in 2 Thessalonians 2, which I would like you all to mediate upon, as I do believe we are very close to the second coming of Christ. I think, brethren, we need to stop looking at this world, as John Bunyan did in the 17th century, and look to the celestial city which will be our home for all eternity. Like Paul who wrote to the Thessalonian church we must always be watchful to the signs and the time that we are living in.

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 2. Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

So in the words of our Lord Jesus Christ through the apostle Paul, let us continue in the work that the Lord has given us to bring precious souls from darkness to light. As we consider how to vote on Thursday let us do the right thing as believers. I would be as bold to say vote to leave.

May the grace of God be with us all as we make this big decision which will change the nature of our country forever.

Rev Ross Rennie
