MERRY CHRISTMAS, Americanists!
A Very Special Christmas Message From The General
Luke 2:1-20 NIV
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own towns to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told...
āŖ Thereās no denying the World is now in turmoil. However, the celebration of Christmas reminds us to draw strength and inspiration from the birth of Christ and his ultimate victory over death. Itās true forces of evil are on the move and have for at least now, taken the upper hand. They trod ever onward & advance unfettered, reeking destruction & suffering everywhere their sinful and greedy ideology is forced upon those either unwilling or too weak in spirit to resist. Life as we know it has forever changed and will probably remain chaotic until that day the heavenly trumpets sound and the saved are once again called home. The current battle engaged will not end until that day. Unfortunately, the others left behind will become the victims of their own fate. However, I do not sympathize for them because it will all be of their own choice and doing. After all, they continue to insist thatās the future and eternity they really want.Ā
Iām thankful those of us who regularly meet here at this place are of like mind and spirit; that our occasional differences of opinion or disagreements are far outweighed by everything we share in common. Iām thankful for our ability to resist & battle against the raging storm of dark forces now sweeping up the ignorant, wicked and unrepentant; leaving misery, illness and death in their wake.Ā How blessed we are for insight to see through all the lies and know the truth. How fortunate we are to possess the strength, purpose and tenacity to keep the Light shining in the darkness of the World. In a way, itās almost the purpose for which we were born. Now more than ever, the meaning and significance of Christmas reminds us of the importance of this purpose and calls us to once again rally our strength, reaffirm our purpose & carry on. The road may long but surrender is not an option. Onward Christian soldiers!
I am extremely grateful for the honor of knowing all of you good people; every one of you. Iām also grateful for the opportunity to come here every weekend to share my thoughts. Actually, our thoughts since we all mostly seem to be thinking the same. Iām grateful for the opportunity to make you think, laugh and sometimes speak for whatever is on your mind so you don’t need to. Above all, I am grateful to be an American and blessed by living in this wonderful country. I remain thankful regardless of the challenges we face: and, nobody can ever take that away from me, or you. Always remember that. Although we may be separated by geographical distances, we are still united by our common Faith in God, love of country and our unshakable commitment to family & friends. Iām grateful to the Founding Fathers in their incredible wisdom for elevating the ability of the individual to determine their own destiny. Iām grateful to my parents and ancestors for instilling in me a proper set of moral values; of teaching me right from wrong and the importance of tradition. In spite of all the societal and cultural decay, there is still nothing preventing each one of us from knowing & doing what is right. I keep my anger and frustrations in check by keeping these words close my heart: Ā “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.ā I will admit, there are times when that feels almost impossible but it helps to keep me sane in an insane world. I know no dark night can ever last forever.
As this calamitous year finally draws down to a close, my message is to never give in to discouragement because thatās exactly what the enemy wants! Keep your spiritual armor bright and shiny, those swords sharp as we steel ourselves and prepare for new battles to come in the following days, weeks and months. When I say, āHold the lineā Iām not just spouting off slogans. Hold the line means to maintain our position without allowing the enemy to drive us back. Hold the line means to never cede back that which has already been won. Not ONE inch! Hold the line means to persist onward until complete and final victory is achieved; for this, among other things, is very much a battle of endurance and tenacity.
The lines have been drawn and should be completely clear for everyone; there is no longer any middle ground between Good & Evil. Whether or not they have the good sense to know or not, everybody has now chosen a side; either consciously or by forfeiting their choice. Refuse to consent to be governed, intimidated, regulated, subjugatedĀ or dominated.Ā As Americans, the mantle and duty of preserving the Light of Freedom for future generations and all of Humanity has now fallen to us. Always remember this as you go about enjoying this special time of year with all the special people in your life. Eat, drink and be merry but never let your guard down nor forget that the price of freedom is always eternal vigilance. Now is not the time to lose Faith. A very Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful people.Ā āŖ
God bless you all,
General Mossberg
