The people of God wanted a king. Even though God had warned them how the king they desired would lord over them, they would not listen to God and demanded a king. "We will have a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles." As God continues to teach and open my eyes, I come to realize that we as the people of God have not changed much. We may not have kings ruling over us but we now have presidents, ministers of state, and elected bodies ruling us in the name of democracy. But the demand is the same. Give us a president over us! Many Christians desire a particular president who is like mind, spirit, and morals to govern and go before and fight their battles.
Was it not God who went before them in the cloud to lead them in the wilderness? Was it not God in the pillar of Fire in the wildernesses giving them Light during the night ? Was it not God who had fought their battles? But they were rejecting God because they wanted a man to rule over them. In reality, they wanted self rule. They wanted to be like the other nations. They wanted to feed their pride through prosperity, stability, and through their own laws.
Sadly, I now see many Christians rallying behind the new Republican nominee for president. Am I for Obama? Absolutely not! I am for Jesus Christ Crucified! Why are many conservative Christians rallying behind Romney? Is it because they have no other options? Will Ron Paul be your option? Many Christians are so DECEIVED having strayed away from His presence. We must humble ourselves and let HIM lead us once again. We must return to our first Love.
On the surface, to many Christians, President Obama appears to be anti Christian. Even more sadly, through false prophecy, many baby Christians believe he is the anti Christ. As Obama comes out in the open to be in favor of gay marriages and abortions, many Christians believe we need to be once again led by a president with moral character and beliefs. They believe having a president with moral character and beliefs will lead this country back into its glory.
We can observe unbelievers and the world as they fight for their own rights. As we see them pass legislation for gay rights, abortions, and for other immoral living standards, we can on the surface see they are doing evil things. Many Christians see these things occurring and they use scripture to show how the world is calling good evil and evil good. They observe all that is happening in the world and in their own back yards knowing the Day of the Lord is quickly approaching. However, many Christians do not realize such judgments are coming for them first. Judgment will start in the household of God first!
1 Peter 4:17 (AMP) For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God?
We can look at the religions of Islam, Hindu, Buddism, evolution, and we can all discern they are false teachings. But they are all but distractions by the enemy as they are too easy to pick out. We must learn to be and stay in HIS Presence so we are not Deceived by deception that are so pervasive within our own ranks and people. When someone is deceived, do they know they are deceived? No, they do not. They must seek the help of the Holy Spirit to be taken out of darkness. We must not just assume we are not deceived because we are not in the other religions. If we think we cannot be deceived, then we are already in a position of pride and falling.
The Anti Christ will not come out appearing so easily to many Christians. He will be a master of deception as his father. He will not come out with immoral beliefs and character. He will cater to the beliefs of the conservative Christians as the Great Apostasy is here and coming. The Great Apostasy is not for the world or unbelievers but it is for God's own people who many will end up betraying HIM. You say you can never betray HIM? You are betraying HIM by rallying and voting for a person like Mitt Romney. How?
Many Christians will call out a person like Obama and call him an evil man claiming he is calling evil good and good evil because he believes in gay marriages and abortion. But what is the greater evil!!
When God's people demanded a king, God gave them the desires of their heart. He gave them a king that was like mind, spirit, and beliefs as they were. He gave them a king who was rebellious and stiff necked just like them! He gave them a king that would cater to the needs of men. He gave them a king who disobeyed God because he feared men and who desired to seek the praises of men. Unlike David who tended sheep, Saul had tended donkeys! He chased after donkeys looking for them as they were LOST.
1 Samuel 9:3 (AMP) The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul, Take a servant with you and go, look for the donkeys.
Today, as many professing conservative Christians and evangelicals seek a president to restore moral laws and thinking, they have received their just answer as they have received a presidential nominee of like mind, spirit, and beliefs. What does Mitt Romney represent? Yes, he may believe in conservative marriages and is against abortion but too many Christians rally behind ideology and isolated issues rather than following ALL of God's commandments.
But what does he represent? He represents a religion that is retarded and blaspheming!! Yes, they may say and believe in moral rights being supporters of anti abortion and anti gay rights but it is a religion that condones multiple wives full of idolatry. It is a religion having a form of Christianity but full of adultery and idolatry. And most degrading of all, it is a religion that DENYS THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST! This is the greater evil! Mitt Romney represents most of the western Christians, they have denied the deity of Jesus Christ in their lives as it is evident as there is no Lordship of His authority over their lives. They have a form of piety as they rally behind moral ideology but they do not rally behind their King of Kings but one who represents a figure of a true anti christ. The true Anti Christ is one who DENYS the Deity of Jesus Christ. Yes, even Obama is a figure of a anti Christ since he denies the deity of Jesus Christ but he is not "the" anti Christ as many have been grossly and erroneously led to believe.
Isaiah 5:20 (AMP) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Sadly, it is the many conservative Christians and evangelicals now who are calling evil good and good evil as they have chosen moral laws over the DEITY of Jesus Christ. Woe to Them!! They are being deceived!! They would rather vote for someone whose belief is in a religion that denies the deity of Jesus Christ because he is in agreement with their moral laws and wallets. They are picking him over their wallets and emotions rather than seeking the Glory of God.
Matthew 24:24 (AMP) For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones).
The days are becoming darker. It is not becoming darker because the world is becoming more sinful and immoral. The world has always been sinful and immoral. It is becoming darker as the light in God's people are becoming dimmer and dimmer as many are being led astray into deception. The Light of God in His people is being removed. Their candle sticks are being removed. The Glory of God has departed in many churches. They are choosing evil calling it good. God is sending a strong delusion because they have REJECTED HIM.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 (AMP) And by unlimited seduction to evil and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing (going to perdition) because they did not welcome the Truth but refused to love it that they might be saved.11 Therefore God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false,
People are at the end deceived because they have chosen to be deceived. They have choosen many things over God. Who am I telling you to vote for? I am telling you to vote for the Holy Spirit and be led by HIM. The sons and daughters of God are those who are led by His Spirit and not led by their wallets, emotions, nationalism, or ideologies. They are those who use the voting power of PRAYER!
Revelation 18:4 (AMP) I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues.
One day, this country is going to turn on us Christians and many will betray one another turning in brother, mothers, sisters, fathers, thinking they will be doing a service in God's name. They will come to kill us.
John 16:2-3 (AMP) They will put you out of (expel you from) the synagogues; but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think and claim that he has offered service to God.3 And they will do this because they have not known the Father or Me.
Many have ears but they do not understand. Many have eyes but yet they do not perceive!! You are the salt and light of the world but if the salt loses its favor, how will it be made salty again? It is no longer good.
Those who have a ear to hear, may you hear what the Spirit is speaking. May we humble ourselves seek His Face and repent as difficult days approach. Dark and difficult days are approaching. Only those who endure until the end shall be saved! Persevere and endure in all things for behold HE is Returning but will He find persistent faith?
