Everyone has some perception of "the spiritual realm" of some kind. Many false, (not based on the Holy Bible), and many True, (based on the Word of God.)
Wherever your "application" falls that's your business.
Many say "I don't discuss politics or religion", and for them that's good.
Because God is Omniscient, (knowing all things from before the beginning till the end), the fact of the matter is that every facet of creation, life, and the governance thereof, has to do with faith, (wrongly stated as religion).
The way you believe about everything is faith based whether you admit it or not. Here in is the fault of having "little faith".
I do not know where you are at with "your faith", as faith relates to your experience in what you believe about God and HIs Word Jesus Christ. You may believe all that scripture has to say or you may "pick and choose" what it has to do with you personally, or not.
I believe squarely on the Absolute Truth of Scripture for "every Word of God be true." Romans 3:4 "Let God be True and every man a liar."
So, my experiences of Faith in God has come directly from Scripture and has been confirmed so. This statement is not for argument or comparison with you, but it's a testimony to what my faith in God's Word has proven True in my life.
That being settled here is what I believe about our present condition in this Great Nation:
It is clear in Scripture that everything represented in this physical world was know of God before he began creation, and has it's true form in the spirit realm.
Many believe that "we" physically control what happens here because our "faith" is week or not based on Scripture, kind of like a "pipe dream", even though we allow our "vain imaginations" to rule our thoughts and opinions like a merciless task master. We fight and scream "we're right" when in essence "your wrong" based on "little faith", and the thought that your opinion is final, even when it's against Scripture.
Here is the perfect verse that sets the "why" of whats going on now, and throughout "all time" since creation, perfectly stating what realm we are warring against:
Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
These principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness have been at play working in the hearts of man since "the beginning" of man in creation, in this worldly realm that we call reality. The here and now. The same that it was "in the beginning" which has now been deemed the past. They have always been active, destructive, perverse, demanding, destroying, twisting the human heart against God and HIs Word Jesus Christ. Remember that Jesus Christ was there in the beginning with God:
John 1King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
As shown in Ephesians these demonic influences has been here twisting our hearts and thoughts whether or no you believe it and they influence every human heart that is now or has ever been. The only victory over these hateful and demonic spirits is to have Jesus Christ supremely seated in your heart as Lord and Savior, and bringing every thought into obedience of Him. Even weak Christians, (those of little faith) will succumb to these pervasive temptations, even acting upon them, if the Word of God is not fully given place in every "thought, word and deed. "Jesus is the Word and the Word (Truth) sets free." Sadly there are many Christians who believe not the whole Word of God, but again pick and choose what should apply to them and what doesn't.
"God's Word is Spirit" and only those who have the Holy Spirit constantly refilling them will be able to "discern the Truth" and embrace it. Others will not give God's Word rule over their lives by faith and so suffer the deceptions of the devil.
Let it be known at this time that there are those who "completely believe", the "remnant", who do spiritual warfare daily for this nation, and because of them "we have hope". Mighty winds of change has come because of these "prayer warriors" and we now have a "time of blessing" ushered in by God's hand in the form of our new administration.
There are many antagonist against this "act of God", who vehemently and continually attack his efforts to stop this immorality, abortion, and other "allowances" that fly in the face of true righteousness.
Now, for sure, those who are politically polarized against this new administration, will be the first to "fly off the handle" with cursing, blame, accusation, and all forms of argument. But that is because their faith is small and their vision of who God actually is, (not what they think He is"), is also flawed.
He (God), knows all things, from the beginning of time till it's end. That's called Omniscience.
He (God), is all powerful and reigns over all creation. Omnipotence.
He (God), is everywhere, at once, in all His creation. Omnipresent.
Because of this, He (God) knew our present time, situation, and needs so that He could intervene with the answer to our problems. These problems exists because we have "agreed" with the powers of darkness to get rid of God in all the earth by allowing governance to regulate HIm out of our daily expressions of life, faith, and worship. This statement is an "in general" statement representing our present, average person participating in this governance. It has nothing to do with those who "pray without ceasing" knowing the power of God and HIs actual Kingdom position in all the earth.
For once we have a president that invites prayer back into the White House and wants to lead by Gods direction, (for what he knows of such), and the country, (which calls itself basically Christian), is appalled, contentious, and condemning of these actions.
Does anyone see that the violence and malice of these protests are beyond carnal but demonic in expression? Not that everyone must agree on one application but that these are driven beyond the human realm into the demonic. Am I saying that those who appose this administration are demonic? No. But I am saying that they are swayed by their "little faith, or lack thereof" to participating in an aggression that is demonic. We can all have our "opinions" with civility and order. God is Love and anything outside of Love is not of God. So Christians beware on who's agenda you are supporting. If you don't agree with this new governance so be it, but to act out, speak out. and lash out with malice and hate, puts you on the "other sides" team. I disagree with many things on the wise of this worlds present path, but I don't express myself with hate and malice.
So now do you still think that politics and faith are not the same? Do you have a better knowledge of God's involvement in our present condition?
My faith tells me that He has once again "intervened" in our lives to bring us back to His standards (His Word), because He is about to return and claim those true believers, who await His coming.
Nothing that has happened in all of time has ever been outside the eyes of God or the means of His intervention for good.
I believe that our present condition is to bring us back to His grace by His Love, so that we might have a time of reprieve from the ever increasing wickedness going on in all the earth, (and especially America), and (if we cooperate), once again make us the "light" on a hill.
Right now both Christians and non believers are fighting for the right of abortions, sodomy, same sex marriages, and a plethora of other sinful ways to be legislated in as acceptable, without the allowance that any other "view" be allowable. This is why this renewed time of grace is being brought in by God to stem this flowing wickedness.
Isaiah 59:9
So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
I believe that God has, by moving in our hearts, brought in this administration so a standard can be raised against this flood of perverseness that our wicked hearts have given rise to.
Seek Gods face with prayer and fasting.
Know what His Word says.
Agree with Him.
Be a part of this revival that is to come.
Love
