How Does One Deny The Fruit That The Tree Bears?
“And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” —John 8:45
It is has been a week of weeks this last week. We left freezing temperatures in Minnesota of -35 degrees to fly to Florida where the temperatures are around 82 degrees, which isn’t that bad a tradeoff. First, I preached at the Church that Dr. D. James Kennedy used to pastor and then was off to the Church Rick Wiles pastors, and finally back to Orlando to do more interviews with Mike Spaulding concerning the state of America today.
Mike covered my last column on his show titled: “How Does the deep State Push Their Agenda Forward without America’s Politicians Doing to it For Them? They cannot!”
The article covers the obvious hypocrisies and crimes of this current administration in pushing forth the same global agenda that administrations have advanced in the past by committing crimes against “We the People.”
Among those hypocrisies are publically playing the pro-life advocate while behind closed doors fully funding Planned Parenthood through the covert $1.3 trillion omnibus bill.
The president plays up to the public that he is in full support of the Second Amendment, and then blatantly attacks it by suggesting after the Parkland shooting that government should first take the guns first and then provide due process. The president goes on to show his hand by banning bump stocks, as well as nominating gun confiscating advocate William Barr for Attorney General of the United States. In Trump’s first 500 days of incumbency, 55 illegal and unconstitutional legislative acts have stripped Americans of the right to bear arms under 26 governors in which most were Republicans.
Finally, I highlighted the treasonous acts of this administration concerning that of removing NAFTA and replacing it with something far worse. I wrote that the American people have been diverted in keeping their eyes on the southern border concerning illegal immigrants coming into America, but they fail to hold accountable America’s said representatives who are illegally alluring them into your country in the first place. Point man Donald Trump and rivals Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have you heated up over a wall that was promised, which has yet to be built.
On November 30, 2018, President Trump, along with the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico, signed the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) “Trade Agreement”. “Trade” is in quotes, because the document isn’t about “trade” – it’s about setting up global government. “Agreement” is in quotes because the document is a “treaty” – and that invokes the two-thirds ratification requirement of Art. II, §2, cl. 2, US Constitution.
Kristin Stockheimer wrote at The New American:
Not only is it still alive, it is larger and much worse than NAFTA! The text of the USMCA, according to former U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman, has portions and chapters of the agreement that are identical to those in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Robert Lighthizer even admitted it is “built on” many TPP aspects. These facets, according to The New American writer Christian Gomez, have the potential to strip the U.S. of its sovereignty:
Much like the TPP Commission, the Free Trade Commission can make changes to the USMCA without the consent of Congress. In fact, the agreement completely undermines Congress’ Constitutional Article I, Section 8 power to regulate trade with foreign nations. [Link]
While doing the interview with Mike, a caller called in and questioned what I just highlighted concerning the fruit of Donald Trump’s administration and its actions, as if to suggest that it may or may not be true.
I asked, “How many times did Jesus warn you to not be deceived? Over and over He warned us.”
Furthermore, He said that many will come in His name and claim that they are His followers. Be not deceived.
“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” -Matthew 24:5
I then asked this caller, “When you walk up and see oranges hanging on the branches of a tree, do you deny the fact that it is an orange tree that is bearing the oranges? If you see apples hanging on the branches of a tree, can you deny that it is an apple tree that is bearing apples?”
When I show you the fruit that this administration has been bearing, somehow or another, we are supposed to deny the corrupt fruit that’s on its branches?
How do you help a people like this (Matthew 15:14)?
So it is with how are to judge all men. We judge them by the fruit that they bear. No one that can deny this truth. Yet, many that profess Christ as their Lord, who are truly worshipping Trump, are blatantly denying the lessons that Jesus taught.
So, I asked this caller how it was that Jesus said that we were to judge men? I quoted:
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” -Matthew 7:15-20
And that in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15:
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
When are Americans going to break the same deceptive cycle that they have put themselves in (2 Peter 2:19)?
