When Strong Delusion Becomes Public Policy

February 9, 2013
Jan's first guest is Washington insider Gary Bauer. They discuss how Washington reflects the "upside-down" world now, with good called evil and dark seen as light. They discuss the three foreign policy disaster appointments of Hagel, Brennan and Kerry, three more judgments on America. Bauer worked in the Reagan administration that saw America as a shining city on a hill. Now the Left is eager to dismantle the country. Strong delusion has overtaken America. Then Jan talks to Dr. Ron Rhodes. They discuss the most prominent prophecy-related stories for 2013. Ron also cites what he believes we should watch in the church in this new year. Jan and Ron agree that the invasion of our privacy may be the largest looming dilemma for Christians and all Americans. We carry Rhodes' book, "The End Times in Chronological Order" here.

Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scene – Book by Alex Newman
Author Alex Newman sheds light on the darkness of the “deep state.” He considers the intelligence community, as well as the bureaucratic machine, both of which now operate outside of constitutional structures.  He explains the “deep state behind the deep state” as well—the secret societies, semi-secret organizations and “moneymen” who make it possible.

Jan talks to Jill Martin Rische about the return of the "days of Noah" as it concerns Newtown, CT. What influenced Lanza the most? His mother was a "doomsday prepper"; he was addicted to video games; he had possible occult ties; he was Autistic. Jan then interviews Jill's 20 year old daughter, Christina, who is on the Autism Spectrum. If autism is in your life, don't miss this. Rische is the daughter of Dr. Walter Martin. Then Jan interview Middle East correspondent David Dolan. Things have just intensified in the Middle East. Nobody understands it better than Dolan.

Jan talks to Ken Ham about the coarsening of the culture. When God is tossed out of everything and when the lie of evolution is the gold standard everywhere, society will diminish. Jan plays several sound bites of atheist Richard Dawkins who symbolizes the war on God today. Later in the program, David Wheaton joins the conversation. They continue the discussion of the decline of the culture concluding it is getting more and more difficult to be a light in a world that is darkening. Government is the new "god". This provides a great opportunity for the church to stand up and proclaim the truth. We're not optimistic that today's church will do that, however there is always a remnant who will remain faithful and shine the light in the darkness!

Jan's first guest is Leslie Haskin, a business executive who was on the 36th floor of Tower One, World Trade Center, on 9/11. Her flashy lifestyle was suddenly interrupted that day as she fought to escape the trembling tower. But escape did not bring victory; rather, mental illness and even homelessness due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Finding Jesus a year later finally set her free. Hear her amazing story on the new DVD, "Between Heaven and Ground Zero" found here. Then paranormal expert Jill Martin Rische joins Jan to talk about Reiki, the latest "healing" rage. Hospitals now offer it as casually as Yoga. How safe is it? Find her book, "The Kingdom of the Occult", here.

Jan and co-host Eric Barger consider the dark side of discernment. Some of today's discerners are contentious and even mean-spirited. We wonder what the unbelieving world must think as they listen to the "new Pharisaical discerners" condemn just about everyone but themselves. Is this the way Jesus operated? While we must contend for the faith, can we not do so in Christian love? Weighing into this scenario are Dr. David Reagan and Mike LeMay. Dave Reagan makes a plea for grace, an item that seems to be missing among many of today's discerners. We ask if they are just lifting up themselves by tearing everyone else down?

Jan's two guests, John Loeffler and John Terry, look at Christians and the coming global chaos as the world rushes to the predicted globalism. America's current Leftist leadership is racing towards becoming Socialist Europe, embracing all the policies that failed on that continent. Strong delusion has been poured out as a judgment on America as believers anxiously await the coming King who truly will be a liberator. Both Loeffler and Terry have tremendous insights into economic issues as well as the culture. The coming days and years will be a time when the church can shine, but will she?

We air Bill Koenig's "Understanding the Times 2012" conference message, "America at a Crossroads." The world's superpower is at a crossroads economically, socially, politically, and spiritually. The choices America makes in the early stages of 2013 are crucial and past performance the last few years is not encouraging. Righteousness does not rule in America, evil does. How do we cope in the meantime? We have complete sets of conference CDs and DVDs from our event marked down and available here. Koenig is a White House correspondent -- one of just a handful of men and women who serve openly as Bible believing Christians.

We air Dr. Mark Hitchcock's 2011 "Understanding the Times" conference message on the Mayan end-of-the-world prophecy. The world didn't end December 21, 2012. The Bible says it will cease at the end of the Millennium but not before. Then we get a new Heavens and a new earth! Mark gives additional insights into the Biblical pattern of events that will play out in the last days. So what are the upcoming events? We have CDs and DVDs for all of our conference activity going back to 2007. Find them here

Jan and co-host Eric Barger talk to Ray Comfort in the first segment. Comfort is using his new book and film on the Beatles for evangelistic purposes. Ray has documented the spiritual journey of the four musicians. Co-host Barger had his early years shaped by the rock group and describes the journey into complete degradation. The three discuss the serious left turn the entire Western culture made due to Beatles influence. Sound bytes are played from Comfort's new film. Then John McTernan joins Jan to discuss the chemical weapons in Syria. Their use could prompt the fulfillment of Isaiah 17 when Damascus becomes a ruinous heap.

Jan and co-host Eric Barger talk to Michele Bachmann (R-MN) about the Benghazi debacle, the global blasphemy law, and much more. Efforts to silence free speech globally will affect everyone soon, even witnessing and Christian book publishing. Yet our White House and State Department are leading the effort to have this happen. Bachmann serves on the House Intelligence Committee and cannot reveal all details but what she does share is stunning in a disturbing way. Even such outfits as the FBI are having their training manuals altered so Islam will not be insulted. Be sure to hear the Web bonus we offer. The link is below . Not even all conservative media are reporting on what we have posted here.
December 8, 2012
Web Bonus: Jan and Eric Barger co-host and continue interviewing Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) concerning the implications arising from the attack on the CIA outpost at Benghazi, Libya that took the lives of four American's including Ambassador Chris Stevens on September 11 of this year. Why did U.S. government officials blame an anti-Islam movie? Was there cover-up? Don't miss this cutting edge podcast which pertains to both free speech and end-time events.
