I am Donna Marable. Since becoming a member of the Lighthouse News team, I have had so much fun learning and bringing more awareness to the awe-inspiring service organizations available in the communities, the majority of which I had no idea even existed! Over the years, with diminishing demands of family and job, I continue to fulfill what I believe to be my purpose, that is to be an encourager. It is our Christian duty to always strive toward becoming more Christ-like. I cannot express in words the thrill of seeing a person’s face literally transform when shown kindness. By letting His light shine through us and onto others, hopefully they will feel His love, be uplifted and become good stewards of The Kingdom.

My name is Nancy Lee Kilpatrick. I have been involved with ministry for most of my life starting at the age of 16 with a pre-school class in my local church. I’m also a self-motivated student with a huge library of books.

In the past 15 years however, my focus has narrowed down to basically the history of our nation, and the deliberate, active undercover attempt of politicians determined to undermine our constitution, destroy our freedoms, and bring us, as a nation, under socialism. And along with all of this, the Church which is supposed to hold the standard high has allowed this group to do their undercover destruction of the only truly free nation in the world, without any opposition. This is a travesty and unacceptable.

As a considerably older generation, I am appalled to know that I might leave this kind of chaos in our nation for my children and grandchildren to have to deal with. For that reason, I am passionate about ‘Waking up” and motivating the Church into action, and doing what I can to restore our Beautiful, Grand & Free America back to what our Founding Fathers intended it to be.

In thinking of writing about the Russian and Ukraine war, it is clear to me that there is nothing honorable about the affairs of war, and because of this, my heart is burdened for the innocent people on both sides of the battlefront. I am aware of what’s being said about both nations; with so many twisted and deceiving reports about what is happening, it’s very difficult to write about such a brutal and destructive conflict. As a Christian, my heart is crying for God’s justice, but I take no side between these nations because there is no justice in a political arena full of power mongers. I’m very angry about this senseless war, as well as of this world’s godless governments.

According to the book of Revelation 12:9 KJV, the Bible says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” We know that the world is under the darkest veils of deceit, portrayed by the evil-influenced media and big tech companies. The prince of the power of the air is desperately attacking the church globally, knowing his last days of tormenting God’s people are near. With that in mind, I am reminded that the word of God tells us to rejoice because we have overcome the things of this world by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. So, let’s lift our eyes to the hills from where our help comes from, and pray against the dark forces that is operating in the minds of powerful world rulers.

It is known by the counseling communities (Christian and secular) that discouragement is caused by a lack of hope in any circumstance, personal or otherwise. When we consider that for the past two years, we have been confronted by the numerous situations of natural disasters, war, global epidemic, complete isolation from our family and friends, racial and religious conflicts, economic recession, high gas costs, threats of worldwide famine, and the complete absence of godly family standards infecting future generations all over the world, one may feel overwhelmed, desperate, and hopeless. So, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? “Romans 8:31 KJV

In 1 Peter 5:8 NKJV, the Bible says: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Through his lies, the devil is distracting and deceiving many of God’s children with fear and death, but Jesus’ death and resurrection has conquered all fear. 1 Corinthians 15:55&57 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

From the book of Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV, Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I am praying for the souls who are caught in this deadly crossfire and Christians who are embracing a spirit of discouragement because if I look at their circumstances with my natural eyes, I see no hope for them, their nation, or the world.

God’s Word teaches us that Light has the power to conquer darkness. Jesus Christ is the Light of the world. The world and some of His own people have rejected Him because they are blind to God’s love. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. John 3:16 KJV

Finally, I am being reminded of God’s promises in the book of Romans 16:20 KJV, where the Bible says: “May the God of Peace crush satan’s head under our feet shortly. The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.”

This coming April, we will celebrate HIS Resurrection and our Spiritual Victory through Him. HALLELLUIAH!

The terrorist attack on September 11th of 2001 happened 20 years ago, but the horrific memories are alive in everyone’s memories. No matter where you were in the country or elsewhere on the globe, the images of that horrific moment marked a time when America and the world would change forever.

Who can ever forget the images of people falling to their death from the twin towers? Who can forget the thick dark dust that covered the main streets of New York City, and the faces of people running in complete despair? Who can ever forget the images of an airplane hitting the second tower, the attack on the Pentagon, and the twin towers falling as a pile of steel rubble?

The country was shut down almost immediately. All airports, government facilities, and schools. We were under siege. The government raised the nation’s terror alert to Code Red, the highest threat level for terrorism.

Twenty years later, as we revisit these tragic events to celebrate and honor the heroes of 9/11 and pause for a moment in respect for the loss of thousands of innocent lives at ground zero, we also think of the lives lost in the last twenty years in the war fought in Afghanistan. We do it under the oppressive dark clouds of the COVID-19 pandemic, and under the oppression and shame brought by weak government leaders, whose agenda to destroy America’s Christian values will stop at no cost.

September 11th of 2001 has changed the way we live, but we were a nation still united in prayer. Our roar for justice began with people freely running to the churches to pray. To seek God’s face and His wisdom. Now with the new administration in the White House, we have lost our freedom to pray, to speak and to be who we are as a Christian nation. Now, we are not fighting a foreign enemy because our battle is fought with the country’s progressive democratic mindset, supported by the national media and big tech companies, whose ideology is to see the USA under the claws of communism.

The restrictions and mandates imposed on the American people under the COVID-19 pandemic, threaten our constitutional rights, our freedom to pray in public arenas and our choice to teach our children and grandchildren godly family values. We are called racists and homophobes for holding dear to our hearts, our Christian family values, but the people who are dividing us as a nation are using our skin color, religious preferences, and sexual orientation as the main message in their “Build Back Better” campaign slogan.

The reasoning behind this campaign slogan is then laughable. As a nation, we cannot correct our past mistakes by beating our backs or trying to erase by destroying our historical sites. We always rebuild from where we are, choosing to make changes that will take us as a united nation to become stronger, powerful, respected, trustworthy and an example to the world. Rebuilding our nation cannot be accomplished with the lack of God’s Word being taught in the schools and in public places, nor by us allowing our children to be brain washed being taught to hate their own country, to think of themselves as the oppressor and of America as “The great Satan”.

Let’s pray that we continue to be a United Nation under God, living with Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, with Justice for ALL.
