What Brad and I do, we do for children. Our ministry is with children; our ministry is for children.
I was a stay at home mom because Brad and I believed that our children were a gift from God, not to be given away to allow someone else to raise in our absence while we were earning a paycheck to buy more "stuff."
I homeschooled my children because math, science, history, and yes, even English, were less important to me--and teaching about God was more important to me. I wanted Him to be more important to them.
We made sacrifices--and neither of us are sorry we did. There is value and worth in every child--not because I said it or lived it, but because God ordained it. How can you vote for a man who does not support that value, that worth, in an unborn baby.
Brad and I are obviously removed geographically from the United States while we serve in Germany, but we will be returning home...when, I do not know. We are asking God that very question now.
It is strange to be teaching the Holocaust literature to my class, to go on a field trip and stand in the place where thousand died--and really because a man was voted into power who promised economic change for his country. And the trouble all began when he looked upon some and said, "They have no worth or value; they should die."
I have not used my blog as a platform for politics before, but I received this letter from a frined and wanted to put it out there for the world to see, for my family to see, for my friends to see.
I hope you take the time to read it. The rest is in the Lord's hands.
Dear family and friends,
This letter is being sent to you because we love you, and we love our children and grand children, and we care about the lives of this, and future generations. Things are happening all over the world and we, the family of God are responsible. We are the ones the Lord has commanded to pray for our leaders and to examine ourselves. Please take time to read this and time to ask God to search your heart and to use you for such a time as this. I know some of you are not US citizens, but we need your prayers too. We all need to be praying for the world. THANK YOU!!
The elections are upon us and this is probably one of the most significant elections of all time. Truly it will affect our lives and the lives of our loved ones forever.
Will we heed the warning? The songs children sang are being sung again...
The following is a letter from a holocaust survivor. She wrote this letter to Brock and Bodie Thoene (authors of many powerful historical novels i.e. THE ZION Brock and Bodie are also very involved with the Authors Training School of YWAM. CHRONICLES, THE A.D. CHRONICLES, etc.).
Hymn to Hitler by Lori Kalner
In Germany, when Hitler came to power, it was a time of terrible financial depression. Money was worth nothing. In Germany people lost homes and jobs, just like in the American Depression in the 1930s, which we have read about in Thoene's Shiloh books.
In those days, in my homeland, Adolph Hitler was elected to power by promising "Change."
He blamed the "Zionists" around the world for all our problems. He told everyone it was greedy Zionist Bankers who had caused every problem we had. He promised when he was leader, the greedy Zionist bankers would be punished. The Zionists, he promised, would be wiped off the face of the earth.
So Hitler was elected to power by only 1/3 the popular vote. A coalition of other political parties in parliament made him supreme leader. Then, when he was leader, he disgraced and expelled everyone in parliament who did not go along with him.
Yes. Change came to my homeland as the new leader promised it would. The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler. This was the beginning of the Hitler Youth movement. It began with praise
of the Fuhrer's programs on the lips of innocent children. Hymns in praise of Hitler and his programs were being sung in the schoolrooms and in the play yard. Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school.
My brother came home and told Papa what was happening at school. The political hymns of children proclaimed Change was coming to our homeland and the Fuhrer was a leader we could trust.
I will never forget my father's face. Grief and fear. He knew that the best propaganda of the Nazis was song on the lips of little children. That evening before he said grace at the dinner table, he placed his hands upon the heads of my brothers and me and prayed the Living Word upon us from Jeremiah 1:4-5
'Now the Word of the Lord came to me, saying,
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations."
Soon the children's songs praising the Fuhrer were heard everywhere on the streets and over the radio. "With our Fuhrer to lead us, we can do it! We can change the world!"
Soon after that Papa, a pastor, was turned away from visiting elderly parishioners in hospitals. The people he had come to bring comfort of God's Word were "no longer there."
Where had they vanished to while under nationalized health care?
It became an open secret. The elderly and sick began to disappear from hospitals feet first as "mercy killing" became the policy. Children with disabilities and those who had Down syndrome were euthanize.
People whispered, "Maybe it is better for them now. Put them out of misery. They are no longer suffering�And, of course, their death is better for the treasury of our nation. Our taxes no longer must be spent to care for such a burden."
And so murder was called mercy.
The government took over private business. Industry and health care were "nationalized." (NA-ZI means National Socialist Party) The businesses of all Jews were seized. (Perhaps you remember our story in Berlin on Krystalnacht in the book Munich Signature)
The world and God's word were turned upside down. Hitler promised the people economic Change?
Not change. It was, rather, Lucifer's very ancient Delusion leading to Destruction.
What began with the propaganda of children singing a catchy tune ended in the deaths of millions of children. The reality of what came upon us is so horrible that you in this present generation cannot imagine it.
Our suffering is too great to ever tell in a book or show in a black and white newsreel.
When I spoke to Bodie about some of these things, she wept and said she could not bear to write them. Perhaps one day she will, but I asked her, "Who could bear to read our suffering?"
Yet with my last breaths I warn every Christian and Jew now in the name of the Lord, unless your course of the church in America is spiritually changed now, returning to the Lord, there are new horrors yet to come.
I trembled last night when I heard the voices of American children raised in song, praising the name of Obama, the charismatic fellow who claims he is the American Messiah.
Yet I have heard what this man Obama says about abortion and the "mercy killing" of tiny babies who are not wanted. There are so few of us left to warn you.
I have heard that there are 69 million Catholics in America and 70 million Evangelical Christians. Where are your voices? Where is your outrage? Where is passion and your vote?
Do you vote based on an abortionist's empty promises and economics? Or do you vote according to the Bible?
Thus says the Lord about every living child still in the womb�
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you�" I have experienced the signs of the politics of Death in my youth. I see them again now.
Christians! Unless you stand up now, you will lose your freedom of religion.
In America priests and preachers have already lost their freedom to speak openly from their pulpits of moral danger in political candidates. They cannot legally instruct you of which candidate holds fast to the precepts of scripture! American law forbids this freedom of speech to conservative pastors or they will lose their "tax exempt" status.
And yet I have heard the words of Obama's pastor Damning America! I have heard the words of Obama damning and mocking all of you in small towns because you "Cling to your religion�"
But I am a woman whose name is unknown. My life is recorded as a work of fiction. I have no fear of reprisal when I speak truth to you from the pages of a book. (Though the Zion Covenant books are mocked and condemned by the Left in America.)
I am an old woman and will soon go to be with my Lord. I have no fear for myself, but for all of you and for your children, I tremble.
I tremble at the hymns to political leaders which your children will sing at school. (Though even now a hymn or a prayer to God and our Lord Jesus is against the law in public school!)
Your vote must put a stop to what will come upon America if Barrack Obama is elected. I pray you will personally heed this warning for the sake of your children and your grandchildren. Do not be deceived.
The Lord in Jeremiah 1:7-8 commands every believer to speak up!
"Do not say, 'I am only a youth,' for to all whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them for I am with you, declares the Lord!"
I am in Prayer for you, and for the Church!
Spoken to you in the authority of Jesus the Christ, the Name Above All Names,
Lori Kalner
