LET US NOT GET LAZY

The following post is a letter sent to the supporters of CPOWER, a Tea Party Organization in Wilkes County NC. Written by Mike Jones, this is a sobering challenge to all who would save America.

*************************************************************************************

As we all take a few days off for the holidays, let us reflect on friendships and the reason we came together so many times this past year as well as contemplate the year ahead with all its challenges.

America’s very future lies in a precarious position and it is only through the efforts of citizens like you and I who are gathering all across the land that we have a chance to save this Republic. Yes, the deck is stacked against us mightily. It is easy to become discouraged and give up. There is so much information that bombards us and the evil liberal media wizards control the majority of it. If we are not tuned into the positive and are not trusting our sweet Lord Jesus we will have an extremely difficult year in 2012.

I don’t know the outcome of this next election. Satan has great influence on the events in the world. What we need to remember is that our Heavenly Father is the ultimate everything.



Ephesians 6:10-20

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.



A great battle will take place throughout this next year and you will hear evil trumpets try to drown out everything that is good. It will be relentless on the airwaves and in print. Our psyche will be tossed around like a dirty sock in a washing machine. Everything we have grown up believing in will be shaken and distorted.

We, the TEA PARTY, have been standing now for approximately 3 years and CPOWER has been here for almost 1 year! The TEA PARTY has made a great and wonderful noise and have had many successes throughout the thousands of counties and the land. We must not lose sight of the fact that Patriots have been dead asleep for over 200 years and that long slumber has almost cost us everything that is dear to us. We took it for granted and it is IMPOSSIBLE to turn this mighty ship around ‘on a dime’.

I have read accounts where supposed TEA PARTY people are even saying already that the TEA PARTY has failed in that Gingrich and Romney are the frontrunners vs. a staunch TEA PARTY conservative. Are the ones who say this liberal plants, posing as TEA PARTY patriots only to deceive us? It is highly likely and totally within the realm of combat that this kind of trick could be pulled.

Does anyone who will look at events realistically think that 3 years of standing up will cause great leaders to suddenly appear in the highest of places? It is folly to even dream of these things. We must resolve within ourselves to prepare for a never ending war and know that we will lose battles. We must continue this grassroots effort and begin to put into office those who will honor God above all things and who will remain true to his word.

We have much work to do this coming year and we must remain focused. There are elections beginning in May where our Christian votes are needed and I’m talking about LOCAL elections. This is where we can have a major influence and IT WILL TAKE WORK!! If you will take even a couple hours per month (There are almost 750 hours in every month!!) we will be able to make large strides toward the continuance of taking our wonderful country back.

I will continue to promote great fun at our monthly TEA PARTY meetings and will continue listening to your comments towards making our gatherings more effective. We may laugh and have a good time, which is healthy, but don’t think that the seriousness of our situation ever leaves me for a second nor should it leave you.

We have only just begun. We own the CPOWER website for 9 years! This is the longest period of time I could lock it in and I plan to renew it at the end of this contract (we are making plans to improve our site and early next year it should become a more valuable tool for us). As Bruce Bellot sings about the TEA PARTY not going away, we can’t go away! We are all there is! Do you see any other group standing up for America like we do? We are putting our future in the hands of God. I don’t believe it is his will for us to lie around and wait for everything to all work out. I can’t find anything in the scripture where that is his plan or ever was, where he instructed his people to act in this manner. No, He always tells his people to take action in a certain manner and then he will bless them. That is the Biblical messages that I have read and understand to be God’s will time and time again. If we will turn from our sins he will heal the land.

It is one of our missions to help wake the church up. The church is like a cocoon where all kinds of things are happening inside and it is time for something beautiful to emerge!! The cocoon stage has run its course. We are all preached up and believers must now act. We must believe that God is mighty and that His Word is true! We must stand up and take on His strength.

If we work very hard this coming year and then stand and yet lose some battles, maybe even some major ones, that is ok. This war will only end upon Jesus’ return. It could happen in our lifetime, and it could happen long after we are gone. It could very well happen today as the prophecies have been fulfilled as I understand the prophecies but we can’t base our daily actions on thinking this way. We are to ever be on watch and not go to sleep for we don’t know the day nor the hour. We must continue to fight with everything we have yet not burn ourselves out.

Let me say that I believe I have listened to God’s call and am doing all that I can to turn this nation back to God. Let me also say that I have never had a year that my soul was so blessed since my initial re-birth in 1976. I say this to encourage you to heed the call of the Holy Spirit and quench it not! I have experienced friendships that I thought I’d never enjoy and I will always say that TEA PARTY people are the best people in the world with no exceptions!! I hope you bear witness with what I’m saying as well. Have you been blessed with a forgotten closeness to His Spirit this year? As Joe Greene says, we have to come out of our safety zone to receive the blessings of God. So, let us step out in faith this year, more so than we ever have before and do all we can to turn this nation around. Let’s continue our efforts where we can have the most direct and powerful influence, right here in Wilkes County.

Please tell your friends and neighbors about CPOWER and encourage them to come to our next meeting on the 12th of January at the Brushy Mountain Smokehouse & Creamery at 7pm. We are going to have a very powerful meeting, probably one of our BEST!! I will prepare a flyer early next month. Over the holidays and beyond, share with your friends and neighbors what our mission is. Our mission is to education the public on facts concerning what is causing all this trouble in the world. We stand for zero wasteful spending of our tax dollars, not less but zero waste. We want limited government and believe that the market should determine prices, not bureaucrats. We are here to reaffirm the traditions and principles upon which this nation was founded. We believe in personal responsibility and we encourage citizen participation in the political process and empower all citizens with a voice in demanding Constitutional governance. We uphold the constitution and believe it to be divinely inspired and hold steadfast to it. We honor our God with prayer at every meeting and we pledge allegiance to our flag. Huge government will eventually turn completely into Socialism and Socialism DOESN”T WORK!!! It has been tried many times before. It will end up with massive death and despair, always has! Now, I ask you, how can anyone with any kind of brain say that our goals are not correct? What possible reason can someone say that the TEA PARTY is whacked and they won’t come examine it for themselves? Invite everyone to our meetings. Let’s continue to make a difference. We need each other like never before!

I pray you have a very blessed CHRISTmas and the true meaning will be manifest. I pray that we all will be strongly revived by the Holy Spirit of God to begin again to take a stand for what is important in this world.

Let us praise God for He is worthy!! Let us become less so He can become more. Let us rise early every day and pray for strength and guidance and continually pray throughout the day and let us thank him at the end of each day for being with us during the battles. Help us do this daily Oh God until Jesus comes again!
