A Message To The Church

If you know me, you know I am not a doom and gloom proclaimer. However, when I feel God has spoken to me, I jump on every opportunity to share it. And sometimes what God speaks can be scary. It is really not to scare us, but to motivate us to action by revealing the seriousness of a situation. The awesome thing about our God is that He always warns us of impending situations, and tells us what we must do to avoid such situations. The ball is then in our court. Whether we heed Him or not determines the outcome of the situation.

The situation is that our nation is at a major crossroads due to the upcoming mid-term elections. The left is determined to impeach President Donald Trump, especially if the Democrats gain control of the congress in November. If you are a born again Christian, whether Republican or Democrat, you need to pray that this will not happen. Why? Because it is quite evident that Christianity (along with the nation of Israel) will come under heavy attack if the "Left" gains control.

Because our nation is founded on the Christian principles of God's Word, when Christianity has flourished in our nation, it became a blessing and a light to the world. It's not that God cares more for the United States than other nations. It's that God has been able to use a nation established upon Him, to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus. This is very significant, and demonstrates that God so loves the whole world.

From my Christian perspective, I am convinced that God has given the United States of America a reprieve in President Trump. Our nation was headed far away from God at breakneck speed under past leadership. It seems as if the direction was set and established. The Republican and Democratic establishments were uniting for the purpose of destroying our autonomy as a nation. Patriotism was promoted as being politically incorrect. We were rapidly becoming part of the new world order, (aka., One World Government). But then, out of nowhere, Donald Trump wins the Presidential election! This completely derailed the vision of the left. And the truth is, the battle wasn't over, it had just begun. Everything President Trump represents is doom for the left. They (along with the Republican establishment) abhor him. The left is committed to destroying President Donald Trump because He abruptly put a stop to their progress. His very presence in Washington will cause much of the corruption in the swamp to be exposed. For some, President Trump represents the end of a dishonest and corrupt political career. Why? Because he truly cares about the citizens of our great nation.

If God put President Trump in place, only God can remove Him. However, for that to continue to be the case the church must pray. You see, God is warning us now that our future is in danger. We cannot be passive anymore and assume someone else will pray. Believer, you must pray! You must set aside the time and the energy to pray. You must set aside your political affiliation and pray for God's move in the upcoming elections! Understand that your freedom to live for Jesus and proclaim the Gospel is in grave danger.

Paul said to Timothy, "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come." (See 2 Timothy 3:1-9) He went on to say that men will love self, money, be boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, malicious gossips, etc. He said some will even try to appear godly, but will be exposed because of their lack of supernatural power. We cannot lay down in our prayers just because the Bible predicted these difficult times. Paul went on to refer to Jannes and Jambres opposition of Moses as opposition of the truth. He compared them to the present day (last days) folks listed above. Listen to their outcome: "But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also." (Vs. 9) God is beginning to expose the deeds of those who oppose Him; those who want to bring down our nation ultimately so we cannot proclaim and share the Gospel of Jesus within and abroad.

And finally, VOTE in the upcoming mid-term elections. And pray! If you are truly a born again Christian, vote according to the principles of the Word of God, not some political platform. God's principles are forever. Our political preference dies when we do. And when we stand before the judgment seat of Christ, we will answer to Him for our works as believers in the earth. Did I obey Him, or some political establishment platform?
