Editor’s Note: a guest post from Kellee Hennessy, former Baton Rouge TV broadcaster and current Republican candidate for Louisiana House District 64 in Livingston Parish.

My best friend Joy Tesei has served our country in both the United States Navy and now in the United States Air Force. She seldom posts anything on social media. When she does, I pay close attention as it always means something important.

Her most recent post was a big one for me. Joy sees things. She knows things. Joy is brilliant. And, most importantly, she is a Christian.

Joy recently posted something she had read on social media about the Book of Revelation from the greatest Book ever written. She then challenged anyone with the courage to copy the passage to their own Facebook page. I felt a strong sense of patriotism, passion, and of course, faith.

And I re-posted it immediately.

You see, as everyday people, with problems that seem to occupy our daily focus while slaving through a fast-paced existence of going to work, eating fast food, and reading cynical social media posts, I stopped and realized my best friend was speaking to me and I had to do something. I had to not just work to save my own soul, but I had to help others like me realize that we have to take a stand. Taking a stand just like our Founding Fathers did when they courageously wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence. They established We the People as One Nation Under God. Looking around our God forsaken world, I am ashamed to admit that we have forgotten that.

We are standing up for everything but God. No More.

Starting today, We the People need to stand strong! Even if it means standing alone. Yes, that includes standing up to bullying politicians with selfish and often morbid ambitions of power, corruption, and greed. Stand up to abortion clinics that are viciously claiming the lives of the most innocent. Standing up for young adolescents who can barely choose what Happy Meal they want at a drive thru, much less if they want to mutilate their developing bodies for a brutal life-altering procedure they may soon resent. We must stand up to the foreign adversaries from Communist China who want to buy up our land and use it against us. We must stand up to those who want to steal our children and sell them like livestock to evil doers.

We Must Take a Stand Today! I did. Will you?

Here’s what Joy wrote…

I have read Revelation. I do understand quite plainly that I do not wish to spend eternity in hell.

Keep in mind. The rapture comes before the Antichrist. I have been reading the Bible, in many different forms and it really does always come down to this. I have been hearing about the second coming of Christ and the events unfolding since I was a child. The “Mark of the Beast”, microchips, no cash, martial law, Total Government dependency/control. When we are raising a family, working long hours, some two jobs, lots of things go unnoticed or just get ignored.

No one can comprehend how bad it will be……till it is. We have NEVER been told to stay home, quit work and rely on the Government. WE are seeing a lot of “firsts” since January 2016! Can our minds and bodies handle what’s coming? Not without God – I wonder what doctor they will have on the news explaining the rapture and the disappearance of so many people? I won’t be here for it but it’s just a thought. While the devil is preparing people for the Antichrist, God is preparing people for the Rapture. I don’t know when the rapture will take place but I know that I won’t be left behind when that trumpet sounds!

I also believe right now that God is giving us a chance to repent. We need to get the Gospel message out!!! Until the Good Lord calls me away from this world to go home, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only true Lord and Savior. Despite the fact that I am human, and I fail a lot, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

I believe that He came as a baby, I believe that He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, and that He rose from the dead on the third day and He is in Heaven preparing a place for all those who believe and trust Him as their Savior.

He loves us all dearly (far more than we deserve) and forgives our sins when we repent. His Word says in John 3:16 “Whosoever believeth in Me, shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

Matthew 10:33 says, “But whosoever shall deny me before men, he will I also deny before my Father which art in heaven.”
