“Shakin’ the House in 2024” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©01/25/2024

I have been wounded by the Christian church several times. I was betrayed by some I trusted with all that I am, and that is not something a believer in Jesus Christ can quickly heal from to trust others again. If you’ve known me for any time at all then that might surprise some since I’ve been in church for most of my life. That’s a part of what makes something like this hurt so much. You think that you’ve found your church FAMILY to joyfully worship with, think are actually friends, and personally adopt into your Faith life; but then they suddenly reject the main things you shared with them as your God-Given calling with Gifts you have no doubt God Almighty gave to you for HIS purpose to reach the lost that so many others seem to ignore. It hurts more than about anything the world itself could do to you personally.

Some might simply say that I need to pray, forgive, and move on. That’s easy to do if you don’t actually care for those that used to be part of your world that you had to walk away from just because of the actions of a few or even one. I HAVE forgiven and I KEEP praying. I can’t help but wonder if this is not just happening to me but also the reason WHY the real Revival hasn’t happened in churches yet. It might be. Such hurt between those all supposed to be serving the same God Almighty of Creation Who gave His Son Jesus Christ for humanity might be what the REAL enemy (that is SATAN) could be using right now. Hatred between church denominations, races, political parties, and any divisions used could be the ploy of the destroyer of this world if the True Church doesn’t WAKE UP and REACH OUT to ALL who are LOST!

The song “Thankful Heart” by Petra came into my heart on January 8th, and that led me to listen to their album “Back to the Street” from 1986. The song name of this Op-Ed’s title hit me like a ton of bricks! Russ Taff’s song “Shake” has always been one of my favorites to instill the need to pay attention to what’s going on in this world at any given time. Petra’s song reminded me that the ‘Shake’ is going to begin with the house of God… to the real Church of the Lord Jesus Christ! How many believers are ready for that? Do we understand what it could really mean? Petra’s song makes it really clear that we might not understand WHY some things are happening, but maybe it’s WHY some (or even most) are blind about it right now. It breaks my heart since even though I’ve been hurt I don’t want ANYONE to be lost by dismissal.

Since 2020 so many have lost family, friends, and loved ones due to Covid-19, and that loss has maybe hardened the hearts of people to an all-time stone condition. That’s also the reason WHY we all need to reach out to each other in a kind and understanding way of other’s burdens so that healing can begin. If we don’t get our own Houses in order then the final Revival might NOT happen before the Rapture takes place. Do any of us really want to see people be lost and go to Hell because of hurt feelings, unresolved anger, or festering revenge just because some Church person failed to help you? I DON’T! I don’t want to be the reason why a single person refuses to accept Jesus Christ as Personal Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty! No matter what happened to me or how upset I’ve been, I CHOOSE to forgive ALL who hurt me.

THAT is part of the ‘Shakin’ the House’ that some might not understand. Many view it as getting more ‘religious’ for the sake of seeming ‘Godly’ to others but without honest spiritual growth. It seems like the majority isn’t even paying attention to the heart of the real ‘shaking’ this means – YOUR OWN HOUSE! Some in Christian churches have become worldly to the point that unbelievers wouldn’t even be convicted of sins. Conviction leads to Salvation by Grace through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! I deal with my own shortcomings daily and pray my lapses haven’t caused a single person to turn away from Christ. I fail, but God Almighty through Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit has NEVER failed me! I’ve questioned things that have happened and been hurt over outcomes, but Jesus has been faithful to me for my whole life.

I’m sure many Christians today with all that’s been going on have struggled to keep their fires of Faith burning to be witnesses to those who don’t know Christ as Savior yet. At the same time, there seems to be an overwhelming amount of those claiming to be ‘Christian’ who don’t even believe in true Salvation by Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ for sins. THIS IS A PROBLEM! False doctrine, false teachers, false prophets… Jesus Christ told His disciples to TURN AWAY from them. We need to be reading the Christian Holy Bible to know what is RIGHT so we don’t accept what is WRONG. I might not have all the answers someone might ask me, but I KNOW when I hear something that is OFF. If you ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding as you read, HE WILL DO IT. It’s time we ALL STUDIED the Holy Bible.

I have Bible Sermon Notes up on my www.tribulationhelp.com website for anyone to read for FREE! I also have some essays, links to other study helps, and even prayers for different circumstances. I’m not always right, but I believe in what I’ve written and shared with others in my life and on this website. I’m still mainly Assembly of God in my beliefs. I don’t agree with some restrictions that some teach or the even stricter ones by others, but I do try to live by the teachings of Apostle Paul, and he told Timothy to ‘study to show thyself approved’. If what I have taught or done is wrong then I’ll answer for it at the Judgment Seat of Christ. If you refuse Christ because you got ticked or hurt at someone who failed you or something someone said then YOU will still be responsible for your own soul’s damnation if you refuse Jesus Christ.

I can’t blame those who failed me for the choices I made after them since we each are responsible for ‘our own soul salvation with fear and trembling’ because each of us is supposed to read the Holy Bible on our own to find what it says for ourselves! No preacher will be responsible for you refusing the Salvation that Jesus Christ gave to each of us by shedding His Blood on Calvary to redeem each of us from sin. EACH PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SOUL! NO ONE ELSE is responsible for YOURS but YOU. Jesus Christ being accepted by a best friend, parents, grandparents, or link back through ancestors doesn’t save YOU. Jesus Christ accepted by your Sunday school teacher, youth pastor, or church pastor doesn’t save YOU through them either. ONLY YOU CAN CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST PERSONALLY!

Let me start spitting bars – to keep from ending up in Eternal Hell that will happen to you if you don’t seek the ONLY Salvation from Sin, YOU PERSONALLY must accept Jesus Christ as YOUR SAVIOR by believing HE did all He did for YOU. It is a Spiritual transaction in Heaven – By His Grace and Through Your Faith that He shed His Blood IN YOUR PLACE on Calvary will settle the balance of your own Soul’s Ledger since your age of accountability! If you let His Love into your heart as His Holy Spirit reactivates your spiritual soul-to-God connection that all humanity lost in DNA when Adam and Eve sinned in Eden. Once this major spiritual transaction is applied to YOU God Almighty sees YOU through the blood of Jesus Christ that COVERS YOU upon acceptance for as long as YOU BELIEVE IN HIM!

Yes, there are many religions in this world other than Christianity, and I respect the rights of others to believe in their chosen faith. I simply have studied the Christian Holy Bible and seen that it makes the most sense spiritually. It also does historically, archaeologically, geologically, biologically, and psychologically. Some might argue against that due to those sciences, but I’ve read enough to wade through pseudo-science muddle to find misunderstanding timelines and even an unwillingness to see that science and Christianity are NOT at odds if everyone would be HONEST and not make stuff up that has NO proof at all. Christians need to get over Darwin used as the main point of contention against ALL sciences. Real Science Facts point to something before Adam and Eve, so accept it and preach Jesus Christ to ALL RIGHT NOW!

My possible non-fiction book title is BEFORE ADAM, and some actual Science facts explain how incongruities with the originally accepted Christian timeline, Carbon-14 dating not being as reliable as stated, and technologies pointing to certain things that really DID happen BEFORE the dating of Adam being created in 3762 B.C. will explain WHY two different timelines of Earth existing does NOT disclaim the most important one of Jesus Christ having become humanity’s Savior after homo-sapiens fell from Grace to need HIM since He was ‘slain before the foundations of the world’. It seems Cain comingled with a possible Neanderthal or Denisovan for Nephilim giants to enter his line. When Jesus Christ died for humanity He died for ALL of the resulting humans. Mary’s line was from ONLY homo-sapiens DNA.

Fallen Lucifer renamed Satan tried to use the divergent DNA from other beings before Adam with Cain and fallen angel spawn with human women to create Nephilim giants to pollute the lines of humanity, but God Almighty KNEW the end from the beginning, so the line through Seth was preserved to allow our Savior to be born of a virgin with the Father’s blood of God Almighty for Jesus Christ to have the lineage of King David and Priest Zadok through Mary to make Jesus Christ meet the prophetic demands as Jewish Messiah (Christian Savior), Priest, and King. Mary’s husband Joseph wasn’t the biological father of Jesus Christ, but he ALSO had proper lineage so there would be no discrediting the full lineage of Jesus Christ legally. While Judaism doesn’t recognize Jesus Christ as their Messiah, many Jewish Christians HAVE.

Shakin’ the House should lead Gentile Christians to STOP hating and blaming the Jewish people for the death of Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ GAVE HIS LIFE… NO ONE took it from Him. I’ve read Christian leaders in our history make very anti-Semitic statements that are NOT TRUE. Ancient Jewish spiritual leaders like the Pharisees and Sadducees were part of what led to Jesus Christ being crucified, but they still did NOT have the power to TAKE the life of Jesus Christ on their own. NO man did. Jesus Christ GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ALL HUMANITY. If hating those responsible for what did happen you should add Rome and all the other nations of people who were THERE and did anything to Jesus Christ. NO MATTER OUR PAST ANCESTORS, WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE! We need to acknowledge THAT REALITY.

The Christian Church needs to embrace the Jewish believers in Christ and unite the two groups that share twenty-four thrones as written about by John the Revelator in the Christian Holy Bible New Testament book of Revelation. That might become the HOW a final Revival begins soon! Gentiles are not the only ones represented in the End Times. Jewish believers in Jesus Christ were the FIRST CHRISTIANS and are ALSO part of what makes the COMPLETED Christian Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as Jewish Messiah AND Savior of ALL others! Satan using this hatred to divide those supposed to be working for God Almighty of Creation has always been part of his playbook. Christians should be more aware of this in 2024, but many seem to let divisions between Gentile and other cultural believers discount those others.

ALL Believers in Jesus Christ as Savior: we each need to get our own house in order before it’s too late! We ALL MUST be praying for ourselves and others, reading the Holy Bible for clarity, and living our lives to witness to the others in this world as time seems to be running out for the Grace Period of Biblical Dispensations. Yes, it seemed to have been thought when Jesus Christ rose back to Heaven that He would return in a short time by the original Disciples. Back then there wasn’t what needed to be in place for it to happen prophetically. NOW is VERY different. We MUST be aware of our limited days to show the love of Jesus Christ to a world we ALL have FAILED since an unknown amount of people still need JESUS! Each and Every person who claims Christ as Savior has a CALLING TO FULFILL RIGHT NOW.

You might not be able to preach, sing, play an instrument, or do major outreach due to a number of reasons, but we all can still PRAY and show HIS LOVE to others around us wherever we go. We ALL need to stop judging those who still need to understand the REAL GOSPEL of Jesus Christ without the church indoctrinations, meaningless platitudes, or constrictive dogma that WILL NOT SAVE THEM. Stop preaching hate and start sharing LOVE! Call sin what it is AND give the answer to their soul deficiency – JESUS CHRIST! The Holy Spirit is the ONE who brings conviction to a person that leads to Salvation. Christians can’t do it themselves. ONLY the Holy Spirit can begin the transformation of a human soul being SAVED BY GRACE AND THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST! Share Jesus Christ until we leave…

“What If You Are The Only Jesus People See?” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©04/07/2022

Christianity isn’t just a religious way of life, a moral standard of living, or even a fight for the greater good. The reality of Christianity is having Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Only Son of the Only Living God of Creation Who died in the place of each and every person’s sins passed down from the first humans through their blood line…until Jesus Christ was born with the blood line of God Almighty instead and was able to die for every single person throughout time who would simply BELIEVE. It sounds simple, but people make it so blasted hard to understand. Whether it’s due to the misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or direct misdirecting, the actual full message of Christianity through Grace by Faith isn’t presented as the Power-filled life of believers since many who claim to be believers have NO POWER by choice.

There are many groups who claim to be Christian that expect you to do all kinds of spiritual contortions that have NOTHING to do with SALVATION as stated in the Christian Holy Bible: “Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” THIS IS A FIRST STEP INTO A NEW LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST WITH HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR. Christianity asks for you to let Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit and His Living Word to begin restoring you spiritually, changing you personally to empower you supernaturally once you claim Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, Lord, King, and God of Creation.

Life is hard. Every day idiocy grates on the nerves and makes even a sane (or semi-sane) person want to destroy what is in the way of peace, joy, love, and even complete sanity. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes since I fail all the time to control my anger over things that overwhelm me when something that should be easier to handle drive me crazy! Is it possible I need to pray more, read the Bible more, and let go of things interfering with my Christian life more? YES! Is it possible the RRMS I have, though in remission, has me taking medicine that could be part of over- reactions? YES! Is it possible that approaching 50 years old with changing hormones could make me do the same? YES! Is it possible the enemy causes things to happen to turn the screws on my psyche so I fall short being a model Christian? YES!

THIS IS PERSONAL. This is the most important relationship you can have in your life since it is with the One who took your sin, knows you better than you know yourself, and wants for you to know HIM. His Spirit fills you again once you accept what He did FOR YOU, let Him take all sin you’ve done away FROM YOU, and let Him give a new life TO YOU. Salvation is instant, but LIVING your new life will take a lifetime. Justification is through Faith in Christ, and Redemption is promised. NONE of us are perfect so no matter how long a person is saved he or she will sin even if they have the best intentions to live for Christ, but His forgiveness is promised as long as you take sins to the Lord for Him to reapply His blood to your life once again for you to go forward AGAIN. AN ONGOING AGAIN!

We ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We ALL have the same tainted blood due to the human fall from the Grace of God Almighty our Creator that happened by Adam and Eve. WE ALL NEED JESUS! I can’t do the things I wish I could do or NOT do the things I wish I would NOT do. I AM HUMAN… inherently undisciplined in mind and body. I’m not proud of myself, and I certainly hurt my own heart when I do the things Jesus cries over each time I fail Him. There is NO excuse. I’m still trying to live my Faith to make my Savior be thankful that He did die for me. I am His even when I mess everything up. I’m still redeemed but ONLY by Faith in what HE already did for me. I’m supposed to be learning, progressing, and growing in His Grace, and yet I falter at the worst possible moments I could at times.

Christianity is NOT something to use so you can claim to be perfect; Christianity IS the WAY to reach the ONE who IS perfect as HE then helps you to try to live your life to SHARE that He lives IN YOU by His Grace through your Faith in what He’s already done for you and ALL WHO BELIEVE HIM. We each are supposed to be a Light Shining on the hill by living for Jesus with all of our abilities in spite of our own failures. Do things seem so out of control most of the time that it can make us question why we should even try? Yes. Do some people claim to be Christian yet seem to try to hurt others? Yes. Is either okay? NO! Jesus Christ gave His life to restore yours to how yours was meant to be before you were even born. HE SAW YOU when He was on the Cross of Calvary! Accept HIM to begin Life Restoration!

“That seems a bit dramatic!” some might exclaim. What happened on the Cross was as DRAMATIC as it was TORTUROUS and HEART-BREAKING. Every time I make a mistake and sin then my heart hurts since I know Jesus bled a drop to cover it for me. “That is some nonsensical way of thinking” others might yell out. Each person has your own decisions that you need to take responsibility for doing, and NO ONE has the power to live good enough on your own to overcome the sin in your soul. “Who do you think you are to judge anyone?” more scream in outrage. I’m not. I point to the facts according to the Holy Bible that gives the argument that we ALL have sinned and need a Savior Who has given HIS FREE GIFT for you that you need to accept so HE can change you from the inside out over time.

It is an ongoing struggle to even try to live for Christ sometimes. It is NOT always sunshine and roses. There are moments of rain and thorns. I’ve been through enough storms to tell you that it’s not easy, but in the midst of the storm is when Jesus shows up to help you not sink in a wreck and even walk on some kind of spiritual water if you trust Him. I’m still trying to understand why I had the car accident a couple years ago that totaled it. I only had a couple of bruised knees, so I’m thankful, but why did it have to happen? I was in shock but didn’t have a nervous breakdown and gave out cards to the police officer, towing driver, and owner of car I rear-ended after 30 years without an accident so I still ask WHY? Did any of them come to find the Lord or find a closer walk with the Savior? I don’t know, but the possibility gives solace.

What if I was the only Jesus those people will ever see? That is a thrilling but a frightening prospect since I’m not the best I’d choose for it. How many people have I failed to reach? How many people have I turned against Jesus by some careless action? How many have I pushed away by not showing the kind of Jesus they needed to see? It shadows parts of my life with how they could have happened. All I can do now is to TRY to live more like Him so all those going forward will see HIM instead of just me. Sharing the sea-walking Galilean carpenter Savior that died for all can happen in a better way, but what if that unexpected accident, scary disease, or ongoing illness put you in a place where Jesus can use you to reach even one soul that no one else will ever be able to reach? EVERY Christian needs to REALLY consider that.

Am I glad the car accident happened? Am I glad that I have Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis even if I’m in remission? Am I glad that I have to see a regular doctor, an allergy doctor, and a neurologist doctor? NO to all three, but if I have managed to show even a slight light to someone during one of those visits that reached someone for Jesus then that IS something that I’m glad about happening. I’m not a masochist so I don’t want pain, problems, or persecution, BUT if a moment of discomfort leads to an eternity in Heaven for even one person to have then it ALL will be worth it. I don’t like illness, but it’s an old thing to me since I was a child. I’ve wept sitting in the middle of a hospital bed more than once, but knowing that my Savior was right beside me singing over me has always been a comfort that I want everyone to have.

I used to be an optimist most of the time when I was younger, but if I’m honest I’m more of a realist now when it comes to everyday life. I have moments of utter joy with things I find beautiful, inspiring, and truthful, but desolation hits when the world feels like it’s falling down on me at the toughest times I’ve known. I trust people too quickly and get hurt often, but I still try to see the good a person has inside to help them get closer to Jesus to see good become a brighter light for others. It is part of my calling and the reason for my songs and books, but when others can’t understand things I try to use in a different way to do that reaching then it hurts more than anything else has in my almost 50 years. ‘Judge not lest ye be judged’ isn’t something many Christians seem to take very seriously. I do and try to live by it each day.

Like I’ve said before many times, I’m NOT perfect; I’m not even close or approaching it at any speed other than a human crawl. I try to let the Lord change what He wills with music, scripture, books, research, and any media He chooses. It’s interesting what He DOES use sometimes, but there are many who wouldn’t believe it was God Almighty who does it because they try to put God Almighty in a religious box of their own making. I DON’T. I know that HE KNOWS ME. HE KNOWS WHAT REACHES ME. HE KNOWS WHAT REACHES EACH AND EVERY PERSON. That is WHY I still write what I write and sing what I sing. If one part of a book or one stanza of a song reaches them then that means I wrote it FOR THEM TO FIND HIM! Will that be many? Maybe not, but even 1 is worth it. Even 1 matters. Even 1 is enough.

I keep watching “Castle”. That series helped me to finish writing BREAKING THE SHACKLES, Book 1 of my “Rebirth of Eirinth” Christian Speculative Fantasy Novel Series. I don’t claim it’s the best book you’d ever read or if the writing is what some would want, but I tried to do something different to reach a few specific groups of what I’d hoped would be my readers based on my eclectic interests and how the book interlaced Fantasy novels, Japanese Anime series, and Christian music within the pages of the story. It has a positive purpose even if some can’t see it. It definitely has my heart throughout it, so if anyone knows me at all they should see it in the art, read it in the story, and hear it in the music. If it and TREADING THE PATH, “Rebirth of Eirinth” book 2 don’t show Jesus Christ too in some way then I failed.

When I chose ‘Tenrai Daystar’ as the name for my version of Jesus Christ in Eirinth it wasn’t done lightly. Tenrai is a Japanese word that means ‘sound of the wind, divine, beautiful poetry’ and that is how I FEEL about Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty. I knew I needed something else, and the song “Daystar Shine Down on Me” came to me when I prayed about it and sounded right when added to the first name. ALL character names were chosen for their meaning to give spiritual background and personality traits once shown through their reactions and places in the storyline. That was how I planned it and hoped readers would understand and find the one they related to the most to then find their path in this world toward Faith with their skills and abilities that God can use to show Jesus to others too. I truly hope.

If my songs and books are my ways to be the only Jesus people see then I’m thankful for what I’ve done as a teen and adult with my music and as an adult with my books even if others can’t recognize it now. I’ll have a table at the Gem City Comic Con on 07/23-24/2022 at the Dayton Convention Center for the first time. Though my book series is NOT the comic genre but written Fantasy books, they have similar artwork. Maybe someone there will be interested. I’m giving my music CD “Eirinth Breaking” with each purchase while supplies last and will be in ‘costume’, so maybe something in my multi-media project will reach out to EVEN ONE PERSON. It might seem a small return for all of my time, money, and tears, but what if THAT ONE is your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, parent, grandparent, spouse, or friend?

A Worldwide Revival is prophesied to happen BEFORE the Rapture (calling away) of the Believers in Christ as many believe happens BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. I recently read the online article at Kehilanews Community Blog under “Yeshua’s Hidden Identity Revealed on Succoth, His True Birthday” by Richard Honorof on Oct 7, 2020. He believes that Worldwide Revival will begin in Jerusalem once people there see the link that Mary (Miriam) has to the line of King David through her father AND the line of Aaronic high priesthood by Zadok through her mother. This gave Jesus Christ not only the KING line but also the HIGH PRIEST line for the final SACRIFICE HE GAVE FOR ALL OF US!

What if YOU are the ONLY JESUS people in your life SEE? What if…?

NOT ON MY WATCH…

By Tonja Condray Klein – 11/01/20

As I watch what’s happening in America 2020, I must not keep my voice silent or fingers idle! We’re facing a possibility of seeing the complete totalitarian over-throw of our Founded Constitutional Democracy. WE MUST VOTE OUR FAITH on 11/03/20! Support all of the candidates that stand for protecting our CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS, our GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS, and our ability to use FREEDOM OF SPEECH online or in public! I will NOT be silenced. I will NOT stop sharing views. I will NOT let anyone keep me from utilizing my abilities with the written and spoken words that are all mandatory for my calling as a Singer/Songwriter/Novelist/Blogger in this crucial voting time!

NO ONE should be allowed to take away my rights to share my views, my support, or even my disagreement. WE ALL HAVE RIGHTS! I may not agree with you, but so help me God I have the right to say why online or publicly. YOU TOO! I’m calling on all of those who share my beliefs or at least the foundation of our country to VOTE YOUR FAITH or FREEDOM! Anyone who is for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness should see themselves as ‘Watchmen on the Walls’. This concept is from the Old Testament in the Christian Bible in the days of Israel centuries before our country began. Being a watchman means we MUST NOT let others succeed taking over our country’s political system!

The watchmen have to stand on the wall, watch for invaders trying to infiltrate for purposes of destruction of present government, and fight them with the weapons they had. We must FIGHT WITH OUR VOTE! I don’t want violence, whether social, psychological, or even physical during this election. I want people to THINK about what is important, VOTE for those who will try to keep us safe, and PRAY for those who are against our government’s foundation to have moments of clarity by spiritual means we need to employ immediately. Be KIND to those we meet but protect yourself, stay STEADFAST with your values in spite of hate, and LOVE enemies in the midst of contention.

THIS IS NOT EASY! I have a temper like Mt. Saint Helen, but I will do all I can to utilize my decades of Customer Service skills during this time. I may hand out cards for my two Fantasy novels as witness to someone who desperately needs Christ as well as great stories of action and adventure. We must find ways to distract from the political anger that seems to be seeping into every single group. It isn’t God Almighty’s will that we fail to be His representatives here on Earth until Jesus Christ returns. That may happen sooner than any of us can imagine, but we need to VOTE to keep this county as the Constitutional Democracy that it must remain for as long as we are still here to share the Gospel!

Even if you don’t share my faith I want you to be free to live your life with the FREEDOMS this country founded and has endured since after the Revolutionary War. There is NO country in this world without failures of certain groups in dark times, but the foundations of THIS FREE COUNTRY needs to be upheld and protected by the constituents AT ALL COST. Our flag bleeds red from the many soldiers who have defended it, white for the righteous concept that ALL men and women were created equal, and blue is for vigilance and justice in keeping this country FREE. We must NEVER forget what good we Americans have done over the years, and we must learn from our mistakes. VOTE for that chance!

We have today and two more days before we cast our ballots if you haven’t already. I’m asking all of you, regardless of race, gender, color, creed, or religion to VOTE for those that want to make life in America to be the land of promise and opportunities that the colonists and immigrants saw it as all those years ago. We MUST have law and order. We MUST keep our rights to worship together. We MUST see others get the chance to legally join our nation. These are ALL necessary to keep this nation as a whole fulfilled country that leads the way to prosperity, shines its light of freedom around the world, and lets its countlessly different citizens continue to strive for the future and show how FREEDOM reigns!

America on the Brink of an Identity Crisis

“America on the Brink of an Identity Crisis” by Tonja Condray Klein

I’m a non-conforming individualist, a born-again spirit-filled Christian, and a supporter of the arts and sciences when they line up with historical reality and been proven with more than one discipline. What I find disconcerting in 2020 is that too many people who claim to be Christians, conservative, or even possessing common sense seem to be so silent, absent, or even comatose when facing what is happening in politics, religion, society, and transitioning government types. It’s not that hard to SEE, HEAR, and KNOW what is going on, but many in these groups seem to be HIDING now.

I don’t claim to be brave, and I certainly have failed in my life to share my Christian faith as well as I could have at times, but as a citizen of the United States of America I’m now called to vote my Faith, vote my conscience, and vote my support of the Constitution that this country was founded upon. To do less would be a violent slap in the face of my father who fought in World War II, my uncle who died in World War II, and every single soldier over the course of this country’s history who fought to protect all those under their care. THIS MUST NOT EVER HAPPEN IN THE USA!

I’ve been reading various writings for eschatology of biblical prophecy and books about historical changes in many countries that have followed a certain escalation of steps away from freedom toward government control. Both of these studies have left me more concerned than even the news reports do now in the time of Covid-19. The lack of more Christian voices being heard also causes great concern, not only with the 2020 election coming but also not seeing the final Christian revival occurring yet since if we ever needed one IT IS NOW. How many now can see the same thing?

There is ONLY one way that can interrupt the steps trying to take away American freedom – for those pulled into demonic forces attempting to enslave them to instead come to salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ as personal Savior, Lord, and Creator. This is why enemies allied with evil are doing all they can to destroy Christianity. The Biblical Gospel teachings counteract manipulative types of government that try to overtake democratic-republics. This is why America’s founding fathers included freedom of religion to help maintain the rest of the statutes our government will always need.

The founders of the United States of America were not perfect or upright in all ways, but no one in this world has ever been except for Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God Almighty who is our Creator. Jesus died in our places to give us eternal life through Faith in Him. Slavery is one of the greatest wrongs done throughout history, and even this country did not escape using it until the wrong was righted. Before blaming others in this time for what was done throughout all time worldwide, you should read verified history. If we blame every group responsible, EVERYONE is accountable.

Christians are supposed to forgive others, and we have NO right to judge someone else for the sins of his or her ancestors. I do NOT owe anything for the sins of my past relations, and this needs to be upheld as proper justice in 2020. If someone breaks a law presently then he or she needs to be held accountable for it. This newer concept of social justice that is trying to make people pay for something he or she did NOT do is injustice to the core! Why some believe in this misappropriation of blame can only be attributed as driven by hatred with the lack of understanding full global history.

Of course, REAL History isn’t being taught correctly or at all. What I learned in school is NOT what my youngest niece has been taught. I find this completely unacceptable. I was going to be a teacher, and this dereliction of duty by not teaching facts that are proven is an abomination to the calling that teachers used to protect and uphold at all cost. It makes me thankful that I didn’t follow that career path since this current idiocy is overtaking common sense. I know that some of my former teachers would have quit before teaching the absolute false heresies of newer education. I would have too.

As if a global pandemic wasn’t bad enough, America is facing a governmental coup, an educational brainwashing, and a religious falling-away all at the same time! What’s next… outer space alien encounters? Come on, people! How can we, Generation–X in particular, let this happen? While I can see the spirit of the anti-Christ working overtime, I can’t see how this country can let evil take over in a way that appalls my very being! Am I the only one hearing Disciple’s one song “God of Elijah” in stereo right now as a warning? How about Russ Taff’s “Not Gonna Bow”? Check them out for clarity!

America is on the brink of an identity crisis to the foundation. Are we going to let these horrific things continue? Are we going to bury our heads in the sand and ignore the blaring horns of emergency? Are we going to just give up when so many have fought and keep fighting for our freedom? I CANNOT! I do my best to keep politics out of my writing, but when it comes to my Christianity right now politics will determine whether or not I can be FREE to share JESUS. I can’t let my calling to do that be stopped by the miscreant idiots that KNOW NOTHING and want everything their way.

Not on my watch. I MUST SHARE JESUS! I MUST SING HIS PRAISE! I MUST VOTE MY FAITH! I MUST KEEP MY LAMP FILLED WITH OIL! I MUST DO ALL I CAN WHILE I CAN! Before any of us realize this, we may lose the right to do any of it without facing persecution, imprisonment, and even torture. I’m one voice but with a purpose – to live for Christ and share His love even if death is my only gain. I will FIGHT, though, and not bow to the idols. I’m a reclaimed daughter of Father God Almighty and joint-Heir with Yeshua Jesus Christ my Savior, Lord and King!

Who and what are you?
