We are in spiritual political warfare
Liberals want to replace the hope
and promise of the Kingdom
with control of statism in
this system of things.
![Page 21: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

The Church must organize to:
• Educate• Mobilize
and• Activate
individuals to defend Biblical truths
![Page 22: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
This has happened before:
• 1964-2004: a 40-year conservative cycle• 1974-historically similar to 2006• 1976-historically similar to 2008
In 1974, Christian Right was born. Led new grassroots movement – the foundation for Ronald Reagan.

24
God Under Attack
God is under attack because liberals want to destroy our independence from the state.
Liberals declare through media, talk shows
and magazines that Christianity is losing influence in this country.
Attempting to be self-prophetic.
![Page 25: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
What are the measures of the pressures that can crush a government?
We must avoid the 51-51 consequence.
~We are moving toward 51% of the public receiving their direct livelihood from government.
~Currently only 43% of public pays no income tax, moving toward 51%.
~When 51% are in total economic reliance on government and 51% pay no income tax, the system is likely to collapse upon itself.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened.”
Norman Matton Thomas
1944 candidate for U.S. President

What is the state of mind of the public at times such as these?

30% always want less government
30% decide this issue based upon their economic security

Socialistic governments cannot compete with a free enterprise nation of any size.
Therefore, they must make them compromise.

China is:
• Developing its own middle class to alleviate need for U.S. consumption.
• Developing the Yuan as regional currency backed by copper.
• Pursuing new one world currency managed by the U.N.

American Exceptionalism:
• Unique nation founded on principles and ideas of freedom.
• Only country in world where one is free to do anything, not against the law, without government permission.
![Page 41: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
American Exceptionalism:
• Because in America, the citizen is sovereign over the state.
• Modern liberalism believes government is god and sovereign
over man.
![Page 42: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
American Exceptionalism:
• Dictatorships & monarchies believe that man can be both god & government and sovereign over man.
• Islam believes god is government and sovereign over man.
![Page 43: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
American Exceptionalism:
• America is the only country founded on the principle that God is sovereign over both man & government and that man is sovereign over government.
![Page 44: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Why do some cultures hate us?
• They don’t recognize man’s individual connection to God.
• Tribal governments control by tribal birth.
• Privileged governments control by privileged birth.
![Page 45: STATESMEN PROJECT April 3-5, 2014 Dallas, Texas 1](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110116/5519b0f955034660578b45b3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
This is in direct conflict with man pursuing God’s individual purpose
in his life.
Freedom breaks down the lines of government control and threatens
their authority.

• Christian community led the way for a call of freedom.
• Ronald Reagan answered that call and the nation followed.

Activists need something to do to extend themselves one step at a time.
