Lately, I find myself asking if people truly care about the state of our nation. I wonder if parents care about protecting their children from the predators of America, and if they do, then why aren't they? I am truly concerned for children, and my heart aches, and my blood boils when I see the DEI advancement in our government. When I see a woman using pronouns, faking accents, and pretending that she has an ounce of intelligence to run as President of the United States, I am appalled that anyone would even consider her worthy.
I know too many believers who do not think we should be involved in politics. I am not sure how believers think they can make a change in the world for the better if they don't do anything outside the church realm. We are called to take dominion over the earth and multiply, make disciples and teach them to obey Jesus Christ. We don't do these things behind the doors of the church but rather within the world.
These same believers who don't believe Christians should be involved in politics also don't know anything about their authority in Jesus Christ. They don't know that they have the power of God inside them to cast out demons and lay hands on the sick to see them recover.
Before Jesus was received up to heaven, He rebuked His disciples for their unbelief and hardness of heart. Too many times Christians are full of unbelief, and their hearts are hardened to their personal beliefs and will not submit to the headship of Christ.
Jesus rebuked His disciples and then commissioned them. 15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 "they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." - Mar 16:15-18 NKJV
Jesus mandated those who are called by His name to do as He instructed them. We are to teach people to obey Jesus' commands and to love God first and foremost. This means we love God more than we love our opinions, our right to be right, our personal agendas, and anything else we may love. God comes first all the time.
Is it love to ignore righteousness? Is it love to ignore justice or mercy? God told the prophet, Micah, what He required of him. He was to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Jesus said to love God first and then love others as you love yourself. If you do not see love as a holy thing but have been perverted with the ways of this world then you will not know how to love with truth. The most unloving thing any of us can do is withhold the truth from another, the truth that leads to life and freedom.
America has moved so far from its biblical foundation that nobody would believe that, at one time, it was a Christian nation. Many arguments exist today to express this little-known fact, but people do not want to hear it, let alone acknowledge that America is systemically Christian and not racist.
The root of America is God and all of the state's mottoes had God in them for one reason – America belongs to God. But today, the god of this world has blinded most people because of the mixture of the Creator God and the demi-gods that other cultures bow to. The gods that many nations worship are a perverted form of Yahweh.
The word pervert is defined as crooked, falsifying, subvert, or turning upside down. The word pervert (ed) is also defined as a person characterized by sexually abnormal and unacceptable tendencies.
Oxford Dictionary defines perversion as the alteration of something from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended. So, if this is the definition, why has the world embraced it?
Many people make the statement that "love is love." But they do not seem to understand that the kind of love they are supporting with regard to same-sex relationships is a perversion of what God created. This kind of perversion is destructive. It destroys families, bodies, minds, and souls. A person cannot embrace perversion in anything without it eventually bringing destruction.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. - Rom 1:26-27 NKJV
The Bible tells us that when a person leaves the "natural use" of their bodies to embrace the same sex, they are going against what nature created. The word nature implies the same kind or species. God created man and woman, male and female. Nowhere in nature do we find the same sex procreating. One does not need to be a genius or scientist to know this is the truth. However, people embrace what they lust after, and that is why Satan has been able to keep so many people blinded.
Spirits of perversion have overcome the world through abortion, homosexuality, and gender dysphoria. America needs deliverance. Deliverance comes when we repent and turn away from the thing that opened the door to a demonic spirit. The three things I just listed are some of those things.
Whenever government officials elevate dishonor, perversion, and lawlessness, the entire nation is open to the consequences of their actions. Laws are put in place that go against the order of a holy God. The law of the land becomes lawlessness in the sight of God.
When King Solomon's son Rehoboam ruled over Judah, he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 23 For they also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree. 24 And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. – 1 Ki 14:23-24
The act of worship led to some of the most sexually atrocious behaviors called temple or cult prostitution. This type of sexual sin displayed sodomy, same-sex relationships, and even pedophilia. While we may not find people in America on the mountains doing these things, they are still doing them. The high places of perversion must come down, and we need our government officials to embrace holiness and morality so that laws that honor God will be implemented and the dishonoring laws will be abolished.
Let's pray,
Father God, Judge of all things, we come to You with a heavy heart regarding America. We repent on behalf of this nation that has embraced perversion and sin at levels most of us are not even aware of. We repent for being "ally's" of those who embrace sexual lifestyles that lead to destruction and ask that You would forgive us. We repent for not speaking up when we should have, and we ask for Your grace and strength to help us fight for what is morally right and pure. We pray for our children and ask for mercy over their lives. We ask that our children would be rescued from evildoers. In Jesus' name, Amen.
