The Tea Party is dead,
Hillary is your next president, Obamacare is here to stay and the future of America
For too long we, as
Christians, have allowed others to discourage us, depress us and even taunt us
to where we have been afraid to stand, to be counted and to do what the Lord
has told us to do; occupy until He comes. Did you ever ask yourself why you
allow the world to dictate how you feel? I have, and thought why should I believe
someone I don’t trust over Someone who I know is faithful, has answered my
prayers and has protected my family like only the Lord can?
Therefore, what is
my problem? Is it lack of faith? If so, then it’s high time for me to sit
before someone who knows how to preach the Word because “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. (Rom. 10:17
KJV)
Could it be a lack
of courage? If so, then it is time to meditate in the Word: “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people
shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers
to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that
thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou
mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” (Joshua
1:6-9 KJV)
Am I spending too much time
dwelling on myself, my problems and my own inadequacies? If so, then I must
renew my mind as written in Romans 12: 2 “and be not conformed to this world: but be
ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”. Whatever the
reason I have allowed these things to occur I have been a believer long enough
to know not only does God’s Word have every answer but the Word is always my
answer because Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God!
Sometimes I think about the
Founders and all which they had to endure to give us a nation steeped in
liberty and Biblical principles and I wonder what they would think if they
walked among us today. Though they may be dismayed at what they
hear coming out of our halls of government and the White House I also believe
they would be heartened to know how many of us not only revere what they gave to
us but also that we are willing to fight to preserve it.
My fellow patriots we must
never give up on God, our nation or ourselves because the Lord and those who
went before and who will come after us are depending upon our generation to
turn our nation back to God and our founding principles. May we be as faithful
to our cause as our forefathers were to establish this “one nation under God”
as the “land of the free and the home of the brave”.
If I had a platform and
could speak to the American people I know what I would say. I would enjoin
everyone never to fear but to have faith in God because He is bigger than any
problem we or our nation will ever face. I would tell them to stand strong
because if we are on God’s side there is nothing that can destroy us. There is
none greater, nor with more power and strength than He who sits on the Throne.
I would also tell them to trust God because He IS Love and Love never fails.
Abraham Lincoln said it
well: “My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to
be on God’s side. For God is always right.” It would behoove us to listen to
our 16th president because this is the road to victory.
This article is very good to read. Not only is it sound doctrine and encouraging in itself, it illustrates a spiritual current that I hope will become a tidal wave among God's people. It seems to me that many of us who are Christians were asleep at the wheel until the threat of a wreck was plain. Then, we reacted as we should have forty years ago. We got involved in the politics of our beloved nation, but too late. We earnestly gave it everything we had, and we did make a difference.
ReplyDeleteBut we have, IMO, come to the end of human hope. It would be easy to sink into despair and bitterness. But I think that God is calling His people back to Himself, back to the closeness with Him we should have maintained in the first place. Ronni is answering that call, and it's wonderful to see. Ronni, thank you for sharing t your thoughts and intentions. Others will join you, you can be sure of that. There is an eternity of joy waiting for those who accept the salvation God provided for those who will accept it, and the invitation is "whosoever will, may come"!
