“Sin is like quicksand: Your own efforts only make you sink deeper. Only an outside hand can pull you out.”—Author Unknown
The newest issues we see in Washington are highlighting the state of moral decay within our society. We have individuals in power who are so callous that they do not even care about the deaths of their own countrymen. The only perceived concern is "can I use this to bring down the other political party or how can I make this go away to ensure I continue to rule." Truthfully, there has already been enough information in the press, both written and verbal, to suggest that the current administration is attempting to cover up the lack of support and concern for their appointed Ambassador and his staff. Equally reprehensible is the attempts by the members of the Congressional Commission conducting the inquiry who sling about allegations that the right wing is using this to slander the Obama administration. What is expressly disturbing to me is the fact that many believe this and agree with Hilary's statement, "this happened a long time ago, what does it matter!" People are so oblivious to what is important that they do not care what happened in our embassy in Libya.
When We the People only care about what is happening in our own tiny little portion of these United States and continue to worry about 'can I get another handout from government', then we have truly lost all moral fabric and no longer deserve the freedoms that our brave men and women are fighting to protect. How, can we say that 4 patriots lives were worthless? Are we so callous and our hearts so blackened that we cannot even see that our elected officials sacrificed those men to retain their power? Will we now turn our heads and allow this administration to use their slight of hand tactics to bring We The People's attention to other things such as gun control and education? What is wrong with us? Do We the People even care about anything other than what is happening in our own front yards? I weep for this generation as we allow these power mongers to destroy our constitution that they swore to defend and uphold.
Understand this though, God sees all things and He is the authority that decides which man rises and which falls. It is God who puts a man upon a throne and He also strips him of power. Only the righteousness of the ruler is acceptable to God and if that individual abuses his authority, it will be God who brings about his fall. Remember that it was God who anointed Saul to sit on the Israelite throne and it was God who had David anointed when He became angry with Saul's unrighteous acts. Saul lost his throne because he felt that he was almighty and could do what he pleased even to disobeying our Lord. Today, we see our own elected officials doing these same things with the power that they were given. They are abusing that power as they feel they are almighty. They believe that they are untouchable. God promises justice to His faithful and He is a God of vengeance. However, God will also allow We The People to experience his wrath for our own selfishness and callousness. "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."—2 Peter 3:9 (NIV) If We The People do not wake up from our lazy and self centered lives we will find that God is not here at all and we are now slaves to a tyrannical government such as what came to be in Rome and Greece. Yes, we thought we were the only government that ever attempted the democratic rule but they were before us. Only by our deep religious heritage have we maintained our own democratic rule for so long. Those individuals who propose otherwise are only fooling themselves and listening to satan's lies. Satan has won the ear of most of our leadership. They sold themselves to him for power and gold. Yet, satan only gives power for so long before he turns on those who live for him. He is the great deceiver and uses his servants to kill and destroy. He loves nothing. If you doubt me look at what he did to Job in the old testament. Satan even twisted Job's wife and friends to turn on him. We are in great danger in this nation as we have allowed Satan's followers to remove God from our books, educational system, and our government. With each victory that these individuals win in our society, God withdraws even further from us. Soon, very soon, God our true Founding Father will no longer reside with us. He will abandon us to our own rulers who We The People chose. Upon that day this nation will fall and we will experience true destitution.
I have written about the coming destruction and desolation that will soon be visited upon this country. Today, I was given another verse to think upon. 'No Peace Here - Matthew 10:34-37'
"Don't think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace. I came to bring a sword. I have come to make this happen: 'The people in a person's own family will be his enemies. A son will be against his father. A daughter will be against her mother. A daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law.' Any person that loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not good enough to follow me. Any person who loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not good enough to follow me." (ERV) Jesus was telling his followers that to truly follow the Christ was not an easy road. There would be many, even our own families that would turn on the Christians. Today, we are seeing this fulfilled in our own country more and more. And honestly, many Christians are hiding or turning away from Christ in fear of persecution. Is that what our Lord deserves? When the road that Christ laid out for us gets tough, is it now okay to run and hide in fear? Where are you Mighty Men of God? Where are you Daughters of the Highest King? You Women of Cahil? Do we cower in fear or will we finally stand for God? I understand fear. It is a tool of satan to freeze God's faithful into inaction. Only by overcoming that fear do we learn courage. I ask you all to pray for the courage to stand up for our Founding Father. To stand and be heard as Christians and believers in the One True God. So that He will know that not all of His followers have become sheep for the slaughter.
A final word of warning, I know that this was not the original intent of this message. However, look closely at the dissolution of families. When war comes to this land, this will be what happens as it was during the first Civil War so will it be with us. Our very homes will be shattered as we fight to survive. Yet, it does not have to be this way. If we will again bring God back into our land, our homes, our families, our schools, and our government. Please pray that Father will put righteous men in all our positions of power. That we may once again be a Nation of God.
