I don’t know if you are watching the unfolding story in my home state, Minnesota, but if you pay attention to any news forum you may have heard about a monetary number, 19 billion dollars, that seems to be an issue.
Actually, that is a projected number.
There IS fraud in our great state. That is provable. There is documentation that money has been sent to fund terrorism. That is provable. There are illegal immigrants in our state, even some with criminal (very bad criminal) records. That is provable.
Sadly there are many that turn a blind eye to all of this corruption. Sadly there are complicit politicians in power, getting kick backs in the form of campaign funds —-or it is said, direct payments. These are people of a D party. They are demonic. They are rats. They are evil and they will see justice, because any authority is ultimately accountable to God. Sooner or later.
You and I are accountable to God. We are to obey God, not man. We are to follow His principles, His commands.
Of course there is corruption everywhere, but when it hits you, your home, that is when you must take responsibility.
If I must lose my head over a political disagreement someday, so it must be.
I took in a woman this week who was homeless. I had to ask her to report to the authorities when I found that she was not clear legally. That is my responsibility. The authorities (at this point) are there to help her, and I trust she did the right thing. I don’t know. I gave her a warm bed, childcare for a day, and a bit of cash to get the things she needed. I sent her to social services.
I am willing to obey the just laws that are valid and stand in our country. I may be unaware of some obscure code that I am not in compliance with, but I try to obey the laws of the USA and Minnesota in all my knowledge.
To openly and rigorously protest our laws is certainly a right, but it comes with consequences.
You can or will end up in jail, (likely) for breaking a law.
One day the beast system will take off heads of the non-compliant. That is when it gets messy. Scary.
As a pre-trib Rapture believer I think we will not be here for that prophecy. The Bible warns those who will be here, though. One will not be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast, and many will be led to their deaths for not complying.
That is true protest. The death penalty is rather decisive.
Iranians are seeing a day of death today, right now. They are dying by the scores, the thousands. I am hopeful that these souls are saved, as so many of the protesters are actually Christian. For sure, there are many killed who didn’t know Jesus.
I saw people I know (and love) standing up for terrorists and law breakers, loudly protesting against just laws. They are completely silent when people they don’t agree with are slaughtered.
What a testimony. They are driven by something other than a Biblical worldview, a holy and righteous spirit. They are driven by pagan ideas: Communism, Marxism, Collectivism, Socialism. These come from the belly of the Fabian Socialists and they have completely brainwashed our educational institutions and those who teach this upcoming generation of adults.
A couple of weeks ago I had this weird thought that my generation is now the “authority” because of our advanced age.
I always assumed people older than I were smarter, more experienced, generally worth listening to. I respected age.
I don’t think that is the case with the upcoming generation, and they rightly have thrown us out. What failures we are at preserving our lives and our country!
I am now the aged, and I will speak for good things. Even if all of the young folks I know are of a different persuasion I will still speak.
I still believe in the United States of America. For now. I still believe in conservative values. I still believe that most laws are just. I still believe in borders and legal permission to enter any country. I still believe in Jesus Christ and His love, His commands, His presence in my life. I still believe in science, in marriage, in the preservation of innocent life. I believe in family, that God had a good plan, even if Cain killed Abel right off the bat.
The human heart is wicked. Scripture affirms this.
Today is a day to remember the unborn—-those murdered by abortion. It is January 22.
Certainly other things are overshadowing this day of remembrance: Iran, fraud, illegal immigration, criminals on the loose, kidnapping, fake day-cares, funding cut-offs, the icy cold temperatures (today it is supposed to get down to -23!!!), storms all over the country, Davos, World Economic Forum, Puppet Masters, ….
But I will stand with Francis Shaeffer and point at the issue of abortion being a watershed issue.
If you are pro-life you are right.
If you are not pro-life you are in big trouble. You are compromised. Your worldview is full of holes. You are siding with Baal in the idolatry of child sacrifice.
Watershed issues do exist.
When you chose the pro-abortion side you slippery slide down the path of the demonic.
You are demonic.
May God convict your heart and rescue you from this spiritual darkness.
I am praying for you. May my prayers be as powerful as mustard-seed sized faith. May a mountain be moved in your soul.
Jesus loves you. He told us to love our enemies, so I lovingly pray for you. Even as I see you support outright crime, I will lovingly pray for you. I will visit you in prison, I will take you in and give you what you need to survive. I will love you.
But I will not condone your disobedience to God.
Repent. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Lord Father, please forgive my anger. I need to repent. I know Your plans will play out in Your time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
MARANATHA!
