Divided.

A comment posted online by someone going by the name Renaldo:  “and in donald's small mind i guess the nation wouldn't be split if romney had won? trump is an idiot”

Here’s what divides our nation today:

On one side, there are our “founding fathers” and what they designed (desiring liberty from Britain) as being best for what became the United States of America.

On the other side are demon infiltrators from the socialist reform ideals and philosophies from Europe (and other parts of the globe) who hate America, our Constitution and the laws of God that it was founded upon. [It matters not if you believe this or not, it is fact. The truth of this will continue to play out over the coming years, until the Antichrist is revealed.]

That’s it.

Rest assured that I stand solidly on the original design under The Constitution of the United States of America. And I invite those who don’t stand with me to feel free to move to Europe (or an island of your choosing), before our nation is a heap of rubble that no one will enjoy but Satan and his demons.  The two dividing ideals cannot coexist peacefully in the same nation and We The People, who pledge our allegiance to The Constitution and to God Almighty, are not moving.

Fortunately, the socialist/communist are not leaving, either.  Yes, I said fortunately.  For you see, if even one of them repents and cries out to Jesus for salvation, (as we are praying they all will) we as citizens of The Kingdom of God, will be here to love that one person and encourage them in their walk in The Light of the salvation of Jesus Christ.

As a citizen of this nation, whether free on in chains, I have chosen Jesus and I have been called to be a follower of Jesus Christ, my Savior and my Lord.  For the sake of keeping it simple, here is what that looks like in my life:

1. First of all, pray - 1 Tim 2:1. You can not pray earnestly and from your heart without being humble before God: "Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land."--2 Chronicles 7:14

2. LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS -"'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" - Luke 10:27  (Yes, I love those who are trying to destroy our nation. I HATE what they are doing, but I love them. Jesus died on that cruel cross for them, just as He died for me.)

3. TRUST!!! “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

4. SEEK GOD - “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matt 6:33

5. MAKE DISCIPLES - Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”

6. PRAISE GOD: In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" ... Revelation 5:12

That's it. 

Six things: PRAY, LOVE, SEEK, TEACH, PRAISE, TRUST

FIGHT? With the full armor of God securely in place, I will fight. However, I must never forget that THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S!

”All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands." 1 Samuel 17:47

I must also be aware that their were times that God has called His People to take up arms and destroy.  Only God knows what we will be required to do in the coming days. He alone is God.  And I believe He is able to deliver me while clothed in the Full Armor of God. If I die, I will be with Him in glory.  It’s a win-win for Followers of Christ.

What is the solution to the division we are now a part of?  “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”  UNDER GOD is the definitive.  Without intentionally choosing to follow the direction of God’s Word by the leadership of the Holy Spirit, there will never be liberty or justice for anyone.  Never, in all of history from the day He created us, has man lived successfully and peacefully apart from Jesus Christ. Never.

Be wise in the knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.  Accept no substitutes. 

Holy Father, forgive me of my sins. Create in me a clean heart. Search my heart. Search our hearts as a nation. Help me to stay the course, to be faithful to be what you have called me to be.  Hide Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You. Rebuke the evil one from me. May Your Church be united throughout the world.  Bless Israel and keep her safe and may the American government never desert her. Raise up Godly men and women to lead our nation under the protection of The Constitution. Soften the hearts, of all those in authority, toward You, Almighty God. Thank You for Your mercy, grace, provision, protection, wisdom, unfailing love, fellowship, and victory. Your will be done, in Jesus’ blessed and holy name. Amen.

Excellent! We must be prepared for anything. God is in control.
