Message for the Nation
When it comes to examining the state of current times, many
of you, God’s children, are awakening to certain truths in your Spirit.
Unfortunately you seek confirmation of what your spirit is telling you, in
worldly sources. Most likely, the
answers you are finding to the questions you ask are disheartening and cause
you more confusion than ever before, because as your spirit cries out for truth
and righteousness the world sells you deception and hopelessness. Advice, counseling, opinion and
accountability are nice to have, but what you must remember is that it can all
be tainted by the fears, sins, past experiences and the limited knowledge of
those you seek these directions from. Scripture tells us “Cursed be the man that
trusteth in man”, Jer 17:5 (KJV) God is your counselor. He is the ultimate
filter wherein you can pour your muddied thoughts and he will purify them and
guide you to clarity.
“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and
when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly”. Matt 6:6 (KJV)
“Trust
in the Lord. “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Phil 4:6-7 (KJV)
God is calling you into a deeper relationship with him. He
is asking you to invite the Holy Spirit in to your heart so that he can begin
to renew your mind and through truth, free you from the crushing weight of
layer upon layer of deception that has been put upon you.
Father God, I pray that the words written in this
communication are recognized as your words and that every person who reads them
will open their heart and allow it to be penetrated by your Spirit. I pray that
you will reveal yourself and your love and that all who read this will be
strengthened and encouraged. I pray that they will find clarity and relief. I
pray that they will find peace and be set free from the bonds of the enemy, for
your Glory in Jesus name. Amen
For many years I have studied history, Law, Human Sociology,
Anthropology, Archeology and as of late, Biblical History and Scripture. This,
in retrospect, is because deep within me there burns a desire for knowledge and
Righteousness and the Liberty that comes from the discovery of truth. Over the years I have developed a mental log
that if played, would reveal my perception of how individuals and societies
have, in so many ways, systematically covered themselves with layer upon layer
of meaningless burden by agreement through convenience, whether it be in
thought, action or decision making, being misled through popular propaganda or
by remaining silent out of fear. People are easily led astray by their fleshly
reliance on a false sense of security and convenience. Look at what we allow to
transpire in our very own country today and as a historical case in point, the
Israelites cried out for hundreds of years to be delivered from Egypt. God
delivered them and soon after, they expressed longing to be back in Egypt
because it wasn’t convenient to live under the animated contest of Liberty,
even after God showed them many miracles and was providing for their daily
needs.
Enough is enough, no more! It is no longer ok! This is what
the Lord is impressing on my heart and I can no longer be satisfied with
remaining silent. I can no longer be satisfied with mediocrity in my
relationship with my creator. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. The time has
come. His heart is breaking and I have been compelled to share with you what
God has spoken to me.
He
says; For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be
your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
I instructed my people never to
return to the bondage that was Egypt, yet you have. You resist liberty and
continue to allow yourselves to be seduced by convenience and that which you
believe was meant to be for your welfare becomes your snare.
I sent to you my Son for your salvation. Through him I seek
to purify and liberate my people and My temples. He was beaten beyond all
recognition, forced to drag himself through the streets, and gave his life as
he hung on the cross because he taught of Truth, Love, Forgiveness and Liberty,
contrary to the wishes of the authorities. Remember how he cleansed my temple
of the merchandisers and the money changers. He made a scourge, a whip of small
cords, and DROVE them all out. He over turned the tables of the money changers.
Now, through fear and covetedness, MY church has freely entered into an accord
with the money changers and by agreement has allowed them to govern over what
can and cannot be taught in MY house. This has been justified in the minds of
men and has been allowed to persist, through all manner of reasons and excuses.
NONE are righteous! A decision must be made. You cannot serve two masters and
you shall have no other God before Me.
Some are teaching, in my name that it is my word that
“everyone must submit to governing authorities. “For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority
have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is
rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished”. This
is a lie, propagated by the father of all lies. In modern times, there have
been evil governments and rulers that have used this lie to gain power in my
name and I destroyed them and will continue to do so. I made man, manmade
governments. Do you not remember Sumaria, Babylon, Egypt, Rome, Sodom and
Gomorrah? Were they not destroyed by me because they were evil and governed
un-righteously?
Throughout time I
have sent my disciples to a multitude of settlements, villages, cities, and
nations to share the Gospel. More often than not my commission was being
carried out in places where the leaders and governing authorities rebuked and
punished my disciples because they, the authorities, hated my ways, My law, the
perfect law of Liberty. Clearly, to this day, there are disciples sharing My
word in many nations where it is against the wishes of the authorities to do
so, in some cases even punishable by death. Yet my people persist against
worldly authorities, in My name and with my blessing. Do you really believe
that I would send into damnation all of my good and faithful servants, because
they opposed some worldly authority or government, that I did not create, in
carrying out my great commission? No, on the contrary, for this, they will see
great revival and have and will receive my full Glory. My own Son resisted the
authorities for righteousness sake. To those who persist in the propagation of
this lie I say to you, you are causing chaos, you are stifling the growth of my
Kingdom on earth. You are working to bring undue harm to my disciples and my
sheep and you are causing the bloodshed by my Son and all the others who
followed, that have fought and perished for your Liberty, to be in vein. You
must repent and correct this now or risk punishment. All those who resist
Liberty resist me and all who resist me, risk damnation.
In the multitudes My people cry out for righteousness and
leadership, there are millions more of my sheep who wander around outside My
house than come into My house. This is because, by My spirit, they have seen
the inequities that are practiced within today’s modern church model. Rectify
this. Break down the walls, destroy this temple and I will raise it up in
righteousness the likes of which has never before been seen. I will bless your
house to overflowing and you will become an example to all. You will see
revival and receive a full measure of my spirit and rest in my glory for my
glory. It is time to stop letting the world influence MY church and for MY
church to start influencing the world.
Resist, and your thirst will remain
unquenched.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou
hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest
to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children”. Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
Jesus
said, “Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,8 This
people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far
from me.9 But
in vain they do worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men”.
Matt 15:1-9 (KJV)
From 1933 to 1945, Adolph Hitler, the democratically
elected ruler of Germany, commanded all church leaders in Germany, to preach
‘unconditional subjugation’ to him, Hitler, and his regime, under the pretence
of scripture from the Holy Bible, specifically, the book of Romans, Chapter
13-1. With the assistance of the misinterpretation of scripture, the nation of
Germany was plunged into chaos in those years. Fear and confusion reigned.
Leaders sought to control the populous by subverting their liberties. Many
turned from God. Neighbor turned against neighbor, children against their
parents and the military and police that were originally established to protect
and secure the people and their property, were used to incite fear, steal
wealth and property, commit kidnapping, extortion and murder, to otherwise wage
war on their own countrymen, as well as others. It was not long before the hand
of God descended upon that nation, its leaders and its armies. Liberty wielded his mighty sword and not one
man escaped punishment for the evil and atrocities he committed.
Romans 13:1-2 (KJV)
“Let
every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore
resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall
receive to themselves damnation”.
The apostle Paul was inspired to write
the book of Romans. He is also the author of other writings that lend to
comprise the New Testament of the Bible, such as, I and II Corinthians,
Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I and II Thessalonians, I and II
Timothy, Titus and Philemon. The word he used in Romans 13:1-2 that is
translated into “power”, is the Greek word exousia.
Exousia - Greek Lexicon Definition. power of choice, liberty of doing as one
pleases. leave or permission "Greek Lexicon entry for Exousia".
"The New Testament Greek Lexicon".
Exousia is translated as "right" in
Hebrews 13:10 and Revelations 22:14, and “liberty” in Paul's 1Corinthians 8:9.
The strongest definition of the Greek word exousia is Liberty. If we were to
insert the direct English translation of the word exousia into Romans 13 1-2:
it would read more like this.
Let every soul be subject unto the
higher liberty. For there is no Liberty but of God: the liberty that exists is
ordained by God.” Whosoever therefore resisteth liberty, resisteth the
ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves
damnation.
We know from accounts in the scripture that Paul was often
beaten and imprisoned by the authorities of his time. Paul and Silas were both
imprisoned in a Philipian jail. Later Paul was imprisoned by the Romans a
number of times and ultimately in about 68 AD, he was beheaded in Rome. Are we
to believe that Paul was punished and ultimately put to death because he was
teaching “unconditional subjugation” to the government and authorities? Or
Then went the captain with the
officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they
should have been stoned. And when they had brought them, they set them before
the council: and the high priest asked them, Saying, Did not we straitly
command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled
Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God
rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
hanged on a tree. Acts 5:27-30
“We ought to obey God rather than
men”!
“Cursed be
the man that trusteth in man”, Jer 17:5 (KJV)
Men of the world are corruptible and
covet power and riches. Read the following translations of Romans 13:1-2.
Notice how over time they have gradually changed. Notice how the enemy has
subtly worked through this covetousness of power, to attempt to persuade you to
believe that God has granted certain men all power and authority over his
children. The different translations are the work of the enemy they are an
attempt to seduce men with the promise of power and control, to cause confusion
and disagreement within the body of believers.
“Let every soul be in subjection to
the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that
be are ordained of God. 2 Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the
ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.”
Romans
13:1 (ASV) American Standard Version Published 1901
“Everyone
must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority
except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been
established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the
authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring
judgment on themselves.”
Romans
13:1 (NIV) New International Version 1973 updated 1978
“Let every soul be subject to the
governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the
authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore
whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who
resist will bring judgment on themselves.”
Romans
13:1 (NKJV) New King James Version published in three stages. New Testament;
1979: New Testament and Psalms; 1980: Old and New Testaments; 1982
“Every
person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no
authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore [a]whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God;
and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.”
Romans
13:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible 1960 last update 1995
"Be a good citizen. All
governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s
order. So live responsibly as a citizen. If you’re irresponsible to the state,
then you’re irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible".
Romans

“Everyone must submit to governing
authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of
authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against
what God has instituted, and they will be punished.”
Romans
13:1 (NLT) New Living Translation 1996: updated 2004-2007
Can anyone honestly believe that God
intended you to believe that if you resist evil governance you will suffer
damnation? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego resisted, so did Gideon, Saul,
David, Nehemiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Elijah, Sampson, Jehu, Moses, John the
Baptist, Jesus the Christ Child of Nazareth, Peter and all rest of the
disciples, as well as every missionary to every village and Nation whose
government outlawed/s bibles and Christianity. I don't believe the founders of
this Nation are in damnation for leading a revolt against the British crown,
nor are the allied forces for delivering the world from the Hitler regime.
“Let every
soul be subject unto the higher liberty. For there is no Liberty but of God:
the liberty that exists is ordained by God.” Whosoever therefore resisteth
liberty, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation.”
In His
kingdom, Liberty rules, just like his Peace rules. “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful”. Col 3:15 (KJV)
Paul
was inspired to personify the spirit of Liberty in Romans 13. In actuality it
serves as a warning to any oppressor, to any individual or organization, public
or private any government, any agency or agent thereof, that Liberty is of
God. Anyone who attempts to subvert
the Liberty of any people group, will
eventually be punished. History has proven this time and time again.
“No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all
these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before
men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men
is abomination in the sight of God” Luke 16:13-15 (KJV)
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit
yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that
they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you”.
Heb 13:17 (KJV)
Most
believe that the foregoing scripture directs us to unconditionally obey and
submit to leaders, with a specific implication to religious leaders ie:
Pastors, priests, reverends… “for they watch over your souls”.
The true intent of this scripture is
to convey that you are to be persuaded by those that have a greater knowledge
than you, In the Lord, and submit to their teachings. Obviously it is the
desire of God that we respect and obey His Apostles, Prophets, Pastors Evangelists
and Teachers. Only those that are His
are truly reverent to Him and know fully the consequences of misleading His
people and are governed accordingly. If their teachings are correct we should
be persuaded to listen and follow their directions. However, there are those
who are not of God and teach things that are not of Him, if their teachings are
not correct then we obviously should not be persuaded to listen or follow them.
Further, anyone who proves to be irresponsible with the soul of others should
never be followed. The key ingredient believers need to direct and guide them
in this is discernment. Discernment comes with a relationship with the Holy
Spirit and knowledge of the word of God. A relationship with the Holy Spirit is
not some secret sequestered privilege of a certain few, but a glorious
friendship freely offered to all willing believers.
In Acts, we find that when Paul and
the other Apostles went to the various temples they preached the gospel and
described their preaching as persuading and reasoning, as in the following
examples.
“And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the Greeks”.
Acts 18:4 (KJV)
Saying, This fellow
persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
Acts 18:13 (KJV)
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the
space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the
kingdom of God.
Acts 19:8 (KJV)
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to
him into his lodging; to whom
he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning
Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out
of the prophets, from morning till evening Acts 28:23 (KJV)
Then Peter and the other
apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:29 (KJV)
We are never to unconditionally obey
man not even Pastors. In 1978 the well
known well renowned Reverend Jim Jones led members of his church, The Peoples
Temple, to their death in Guyana. 909 members were ordered to drink cyanide
laced juice. Of the 909 over 200 were children. Some of the members attempted
to escape this massacre by fleeing to a nearby air strip where they were
murdered by others, at the command of Reverend Jones. Included in the murders
was Congressman Leo Ryan of California. After committing the murders, those
members then committed suicide. All total, there were 918 deaths. Until the
events of September 11, 2001, this was the single greatest loss of American
civilian lives in a non-natural disaster. In the history of The United States
of America, Congressman Ryan is the only Congressman assassinated in the line
of duty, as a Congressman.
The
Holocaust of World War II Germany and the Jonestown massacre of 1978 both,
while tragic, have not occurred in vain for both became seeds that have grown
to reveal a great truth. They will forever serve as reminders and lend to
ensure that never again will God’s children fall prey to the tyranny and
oppression of any government or religious leader that would seek to subvert the
liberties of a people, at any level, by
manipulating them into submission through conjuring false interpretations of
Biblical scripture. Our God, the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and
Moses, is not a God of confusion, or contradiction. God would never force his
children in to a paradox wherein the only outcome is to commit sin and
destruction.
“Render to Caesar the things that are
Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's”.
Mark 12:17 (KJV)
Then and
now the primary definition of render, especially with regards to money, is “to
return it”, or “to give it back”. This is made evident in the context of the
scripture sited above. Jesus was referring to a coin with the picture of Caesar
on it. Caesar was the ruler of all the Roman Empire. Being Ruler implied
control or ownership over all that he ruled. The implication is that because it
bore his picture the coin was identified as belonging to Caesar, in so
belonging to him it should be returned or rendered to him. Jesus knew full well
the definition of “render”. This was not an issue of taxation or paying taxes,
but an issue of returning something to its originator or owner. It was an issue
of exposing idolatry and returning the idol back to its owner.
It is my belief that the previously stated scripture, and
others, have been misused to purport Jesus directing people to pay taxes. Some
say that because Jesus paid the temple tax in Capernaum, Matthew, 17, that it
is an indication that He approved of taxation. This is false. Jesus did not pay
the tribute and He admonished Peter for telling the tribute collectors that He
did pay tribute money. The scripture clearly depicts Jesus‘disagreement with
the process and Simon Peter. Jesus acknowledged that the children of the kings
of the earth are exempt from paying tribute thus making the kings children
free, but others, not. However, to save face for His friend, He gives Peter an
out by sending him to the sea to catch a fish and in the mouth of the first
fish there would be a coin to give to the collectors. He made Peter pay it. We
know Jesus traveled with means and we know who carried the money, but Jesus
would not pay it out of His own treasury.
Jesus was
very purposeful and thoughtful in everything he taught. What is the lesson to
be learned from Jesus demanding to see the specific tribute money? Further,
pointing out whose image and superscription was on the money, then, following
the revelation that it was Caesars image and superscription, saying return to
Caesar what is his? The truth is Jesus admittedly taught that it was forbidden
to pay tribute to Caesar.
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting
the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is
Christ a King. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And
he answered him and said, Thou
sayest it. Luke 23:1-3 (KJV)
To the accusations Jesus replied “Thou sayest it” This was
not as if to convey “So you say” but to confirm essentially Jesus’ reply in the
affirmative, “It is as you say”. If it were not so Jesus would have refused to
acquiesce, refuse to let false witness convict him. Jesus would have rebuked a
lie. Even faced with the evidence, Some might try to argue that these were
false accusations levied against Jesus, however, the truth is that they were
true statements, let’s examine this
Was Jesus the Christ, the son of the living God? Scripture
serves to confirm this. Consider the following.
The Angles believed it and were sent to for tell it.
“Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God”. Luke 1:34-35 (KJV)
As witnessed by the multitudes, God himself confirmed it.
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased”.
Matt 3:17 (KJV)
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice
came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Mark 9:7 (KJV)
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Matt 17:5 (KJV)
Even the demons declared it.
And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of
an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with
thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth?
art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. Luke
4:33-34 (KJV)
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee,
Jesus, thou Son of the most
high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Mark 5:6-7 (KJV)
Is/was Jesus a King? In Matthew 25:
31-46 you find Jesus referring to Himself as a King, also in John 18:37. He is
also referred to as a king in many other scriptures, such as in the following.
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and
praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name
of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Luke 19:37-38 (KJV)
That thou keep this
commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and
Lord of lords;1 Tim 6:14-15 (KJV)
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are
with him are called, and
chosen, and faithful. Rev 17:14 (KJV)
And he hath on his
vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev
19:16 (KJV)
The prophets fore told it hundreds
of years before His arrival.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of
Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass,
and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zech 9:9 (KJV)
And then it happened as was
prophesied.
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it
is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting
on an ass's colt John 12:14-15 (KJV)
I believe it safe to conclude that
in all of heaven and earth it is well known that Jesus, the Christ child of
Nazareth is in truth a King and He Himself knew it and did not deny it. In John
18:37 (KJV) Pilate Asked Jesus Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for
this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
As for the rest of the
aforementioned statements of truth, I believe the supporting information is
contained in the pages of this writing.
It was Tiberius Caesar who reigned at this time. “Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and
Herod being tetrarch of Galilee”,…. Luke 3:1 (KJV)
Tiberius Caesar, by all
accounts, was reported to be mad (insane). Furthermore, he was a murderer, a
pedophile, a bisexual, a cruel man who took great pleasure in torturing his
subjects, a man who mocked God as he claimed to be God. In that day, having a
coin minted and widely distributed with the likeness and superscription of a
ruler was a testament to the worldly power, control and ownership of such a
ruler, a testament to his reign. It also served as propaganda to continually
remind the subjects of that power and control. Caesar claimed to be God and his
coins were graven images. They were requisitioned created and distributed with
the intent to proclaim that power, and to him receive worship. I know that my
Jesus would never have bowed down to such a man, such a philosophy. He would
not have let it go unchecked. He would not have let people believe it was
acceptable. He would not have acquiesced through silence. My Jesus my Lord and
savior would never have done or said anything that remotely could have been
construed to imply that he endorsed such a man, such a regime or the support
thereof, nor would he have allowed his sheep to believe they should, not in any
manner. Not then for a time such as then nor then for a time such as now. The
truth is. He did not. Jesus spent much of his ministry exposing and rebuking
corrupt leaders and philosophies. He left no question unanswered and no room
for confusion.
I am the LORD thy God, which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt
have no other gods before me. Ex 20:2-3 (KJV)
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Ex 20:4-7 (KJV)
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Ex 20:4-7 (KJV)
Is not a man who pays tribute to support the proliferation
and perpetuation of any entity or act that endorses, condones, commits and or perpetuates
evil, though not directly committing the evil act at the tip of his own fingers
or tongue, still guilty of committing the evil by virtue of his support?
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving
what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in
secret. Eph 5:9-12 (KJV)
I am, you are, we are, his
ordained.
So what
are the things that we are to render to God?
Didn’t Jesus make that clear? Most abundantly clear in the following.
Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. Matt 22:37-39 (KJV)
And
thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is
none other commandment greater than these.Mark 12:30-31 (KJV)
And
he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy
neighbour as thyself.
Luke
10:27 (KJV)
And Moses as well in Deuteronomy 6:
5 when he wrote?
“And
thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might”. (KJV)
Is not the primary answer simply “Love”. Is that not what we ought to render or
“Return” unto Him? And also, because he sent his love,
taught us how to love, shouldn’t we, through those teachings, love others out
of respect for His wishes, out of obedience to His commandments?
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to
love one another.
1 John 4:10-11 (KJV)
We love him, because he first loved us.1 John 4:19 (KJV)
Our Father
does not like the concept of his people appointing rulers from men; in truth he
views it as a rejection of him by his people. It is only as his people turn
from him and resist his Rule that worldly entities can rise up, oppress man,
subvert Liberty and create chaos. In 1 Samuel 8: You can find God warning the
Israelites of the oppression that would follow if they chose to be like the
other nations and appoint a ruler from men.
The founders of this nation, being mostly Christian,
allowed themselves to be inspired by Our Father and his scriptures, as they
sought to “Form a More Perfect Union”. This is why you will find written and
ingrained in our founding documents and organic law, Biblical principle. The
most important of which is that God almighty rules and reigns. It is only God
who grants Liberty and Unalienable Rights to man, making man sovereign on
earth, under Him. This Nation was and is to be a pioneering progressive example
of the blessings of Liberty under God. It is to be an example to the rest of the
world. To be an example of prosperity through faith, hope, love, belief,
obedience, and a relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To have it
any other way or to avoid advancing through some sort of confrontation and say
“well that’s how they do it in Europe”, is regressive. What has happened to
this nation? Complacency and apathy happened.
To be at liberty we must be vigilant, constantly on guard. Freedom takes
work. The powers and principalities that seek to have man and his Christ loving
spirit bound and imprisioned, are ever changing, constantly adapting and subtly
at work. We must also constantly be on the move to remain free, to protect our
liberties. Samuel Adams referred to freedom as” an animating contest”.
Man was
created to worship and serve God and through a relationship with him, in our
nation, man created a government structure to serve us and secure our blessing
of liberty. With that, we give government certain privileges. Man goes further
and elects, appoints and employs other men and women to serve and to steward
his affairs, within this structure of government, to serve our republic, to
serve the public, which is why this service is called public servitude. In this
nation it is clear that the people working within the government are servants
to those who are not. Can the servant be the master? Can the servant be the
ruler?
Over time, the Ruler/Master, “We The
People” have taken our eyes off the servant and entrusted to him, our property
and to safeguard our Liberty. In secrecy and with deception, the servant has
plotted to overcome the master, to usurp his authority, extort his Liberties
and Steal his wealth. Through propaganda, carefully crafted agreements, and
poor stewardship, the servant has squandered his master’s wealth, encumbered
his properties, and burdened him with unrighteous debt that increases
exponentially. To enrich himself, the servant has contracted with agents who
seek to subdue the Master, with all manner of trickery and even through threat,
duress and coercion, all the while seeking to cause a disconnect between the
Master and his Father, by sponsoring a proliferation of misinformation and
false teachings.
Has not the time come for the Master
to return and demand the settling of accounts? Is it not time for the servant
to render to his Master all that has been taken from him? Isn’t’ it time for the Master to resend all
ill conceived agreements made in his name by the servant, for lack of proper
consideration? Is it not time to “cast
out ye unprofitable servants”? (Parable of talents. Matthew 14-30.)
Blessed are
they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matt 5:6 (KJV)
Our Father’s heart is breaking. He hears the cries of his
people. He hears your cries for deliverance from unrighteousness. He hears you
cry out for justice. Our God wants true lasting revival, as do his children.
Our Father wants to set all things right in one sweeping motion. He is asking
you to enter into a deeper relationship with him to invite the Holy Spirit into
your heart, for by being filled with his spirit, you will be protected from the
temptations and condemnation of Satan’s influence. Read Luke 4:1-14. Even Jesus
was tempted in his flesh by Satan, but Satan’s attempts were easily rebuked
because Jesus was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Satan has a ministry. We must choose
our purchases with great care, lest we sow into his kingdom. For example
movies, magazines, books, music, other consumables…. And we must guard what we
allow to influence our minds lest we adopt tolerances and become desensitized
to resisting evil.
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in
the sight of all men.
Romans 12:17 (KJV)
Let
love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is
good.
Romans 12:9 (KJV)
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw
nigh to you. Cleanse your
hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James
4:8 (KJV)
Our Father is calling us to him, calling us to purify our
hearts and lives. He is asking us to cast off all worldly bonds. God wants
sweeping revival in this nation, but he will not usher, nor deliver his people
into the hands of leaders that will lead them into bondage. God is asking each
and every one of us to set aside traditions and doctrines of men that have led
us astray from his commandments and the teachings of Jesus. Yahweh is coming,
he is coming to challenge the gods of this nation.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chron 7:14 (KJV)
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.
John 8:32 (KJV)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
shall never see death.
John 8:51 (KJV)
Other inspired writings that helped
to forge our nation:
Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have
connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature
and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights,[72] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments
are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect
their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments
long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Preamble
to the Constitution of the United States of America:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more
perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote
the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of
Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:
1.
“No title of nobility shall be
granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or
trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any
present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king,
prince, or foreign state”.
"Where rights secured by the
Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which
would abrogate them." Miranda v. Arizona 384 US 436p. 491
"An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no
rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it
is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been
passed." Norton v. Shelby County 118 US 425 p. 442
"There, every man is independent of
all laws, except those prescribed by nature. He is not bound by any
institutions formed by his fellowmen without his consent." CRUDEN v
NEALE, 2 N.C. 338 (1796) 2 S.E. 70.
"Waivers of constitutional
rights not only must be voluntary, but must be knowing, intelligent acts done
with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and likely
consequences." Brady v U.S., 397 US 742, 90 S. Ct. Rptr. at page 1469.
"The rights
of the individuals are restricted only to the extent that they have been
voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government."
City of Dallas v Mitchell, 245 S.W. 944
“An ordinance which... makes the
peaceful enjoyment of freedoms which the Constitution guarantees contingent upon
the uncontrolled will of an official — as by requiring a permit or license
which may be granted or withheld in the discretion of such official — is an
unconstitutional censorship or prior restraint upon the enjoyment of those
freedoms. And our decisions have made clear that a person faced with such an
unconstitutional licensing law may ignore it and engage with impunity in the
exercise of the right of free expression for which the law purports to require
a license.” SHUTTLESWORTH v. BIRMINGHAM, 394 U.S. 147 (1969) 394 U.S. 147 U.S.
Supreme Court SHUTTLESWORTH v. CITY OF BIRMINGHAM. CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME
COURT OF ALABAMA. No. 42. Argued November 18, 1968. Decided March 10, 1969.
"The general rule is that an
unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality
no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since
unconstitutionality dates from the time of it's enactment, not merely from the
date of the decision branding it. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional
law and no courts are bound to enforce it." 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177, late
2d, Sec 256.
"All
laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." Marbury
~vs~ Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)
God
Blessed this Nation!
