“For a child
is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders.
And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with
fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The
passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!”
Isaiah 9:6
Though the state of the world is utter
turmoil, those of us who have come to know the True and Living God have hope
for the future because of the faithfulness of our God to fulfill His promises.
I am convinced that God has a destiny for
America and no human will ever thwart His plans for her. Because God is not a
man who can lie all of His Promises are yes and amen and that includes the
ultimate rule of Jesus Christ over the affairs of mankind.
When in the course of history governments
inflict tyranny on men there arises within their spirit the desire to resist
and to be freed from the oppression of evil. God has planted eternity in the
heart of man, which is the knowledge of something greater than himself and that
knowledge is the seed of liberty and freedom from the tyranny of manmade
limitations on his spirit.
No one knows when Isaiah’s prophecy will be
fulfilled and the idea that we are to just sit back and let history run its
course is not an option. If free men had allowed history to play itself out
there would be no America and the world would be run by the likes of King
George or Adolf Hitler and liberty and personal freedom would not be known.
I believe we are to stand against tyrants and
promote the God given and God ordained concepts of personal responsibility and
liberty. Throughout the Bible we are shown how when enemies arose against the
people of God they would go to Him and ask for deliverance. He always showed
them how to deal with threats from His enemies and I believe the same must be
done by Americans today. It was because the children of Israel refused to fight
for their freedom that God not only let them wander in the wilderness for 40
years after they were delivered from oppression in Egypt, He killed them all in
the desert except the couple who were willing to go into the “Promised Land”
and take on the giants.
The day is coming when Jesus will return and
will be the King of kings and the Lord of lords but until that day arrives we
are to contend for the faith and defend the Republic He has birthed. When at
last the Lord returns the government will rest on His shoulders and we will be
given the crown of Life, but until that day arrives we must not be silent. If
America is lost to Progressive ideology it will not and must not be because
those who are chosen as stewards of His republic were silent and uninvolved.
Once again I say that SAVING AMERICA for the
advancement of the Kingdom of God must be our highest goal second only to our
own personal relationship with Him.
