After enduring the chaotic times of the Judges (bondage followed by repentance and deliverance, followed by bondage, followed by repentance and deliverance), Israel decided they'd had enough of this God stuff and chose a king. A handsome man of ruddy complexion who stood taller than most. When I became a new Christian 35 years ago, back during the Jesus People revival, I remember thinking how "fortunate" I was to be a part of the "end times." Now being older and maybe just a bit wiser, I look at what's ahead of us and I don't feel fortunate. This nation is headed for some very rough seas, and they are dead ahead.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your ministry, Michael. Please keep preaching it as you see it. And don't mind the little foxes that spoil the vines.

Are you saying we ( humans) are the ones who choose who is brought into power? Here is your statement I am asking about.<BR/>Quote: "I’m sorry to break the news to those who insist upon the idea or sovereign appointment regardless of what the individual does, but the word of God tell us that life and death has been placed before us, blessing and cursing laid out at our feet, and we have the power to choose which avenue we pursue and which path we follow."<BR/><BR/>Please understand I am not asking so as to argue, but to know God's truth, and the sum of His word is truth. So in humbleness I ask, What do we do with the scriptures I am going to share with you, if it is "us and our choice" that brings men into power and not God himself?" <BR/>Pr. 21:1, Psm 75:7 Psm 103:19 Dan. 4:17,25,32,35 Mark 10:42 would suggest that we are not be Lorded over by man but be servants one to another, therefore although we are to obey the laws of the land and those God raises up, those He raises up are tools God uses to bring His children into obedience and maturity. ( 2 Sam. 7:14). Rom. 13:1 Eph1:11<BR/>I am now in my 50's, and have always been very political minded and active but over the last 5 years Father has spoken to my and my husbands hearts and shown us that Patriotism is demonic and swearing to, taking an oath or pledging our allegiance to the United States of America is a similar form of worship just as bowing down to a man made image was for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in Dan.3. We in America hear much about our "God given rights" according to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, but not all of those so called "rights" are God given according to the Word of God. The only God given right we have is to accept the sacrifice that Christ made for us and to lay down our lives and pick up our crosses and follow Him. I beleive as Christians we are soujourners in this world and Jesus said that " My kingdom is not of this world" in Jn 18:36.<BR/>I would never go as far as to tell someone to or not to vote or take part in the political system, because we must be led by Spirit in ALL things if we are the Sons of God, and God may tell some to vote or participate. But as for me an my husband ( who served in the military for 24 years), God brought us out of things political and until he tells us to vote, or participate in some other way, we know we are to just trust Him and follow the Spirit. I believe that I see in the Word that just as God did with Israel when raising up the "beast kingdoms" and it's ruler that He is raising up now a "beast kingdom" which is America, for the exact reason that God raised up Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece and Rome. That reason was to bring Isreal to her cross,but now instead of it being Israel that will be put to the cross it will be America. We know that what happened to Israel was for an example to us and God is doing the same thing now in America. The sole purpose is to bring His elect back to Himself because we have been serving this idol of Patriotism/America and not God. <BR/>I am not not condoning sitting back and doing nothing. As we shine forth as light and are the salt that we are suppose to be as beleivers, as we become conformed into the very image of Christ, and Christ in us is the hope of glory, we will be doing what God intended for His Body/Bride/Church to do from the beginning. <BR/>I am grateful that I was born here, and that God gave me His gifts of repentance, mercy, grace, provision and so much more. That makes me responsible to use it as He would have it used. <BR/>However, voting for the "least evil" of two parties, or even an independent whose life is not submitted to God, is not what I believe the Lord would have his people do. <BR/>I know there are many who would disagree with what I have just shared, but I feel less and less a part of this world, but that does not stop me from still being the light and the salt, and a servant to the lost. <BR/>Thank you Michael, we appreciate you so much. <BR/>Can you share with me where your ministry is in Romania? I wanted to look and see how much it would cost to fly there and to learn about that part of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-20062724619666945992008-11-19T11:03:00.000-06:002008-11-19T11:03:00.000-06:00Michael other christians seem to use the same anol...Michael other christians seem to use the same anology of Israel wanting a King with this next president .

We are indeed a pluralistic society and it will be the degree of pluralism that destroys us. While there is only one true God, lets create new ones because we want to be different. While the Word of God instructs us to conduct ourselves in a particular manner and live a life that exemplifies the Kingdom of God, lets live the way we want to or even opposite the Word just because we want to be different. After all we are a pluralistic nation.It is absolutely absurd to think that we can twist God Holy Word and fashion it to our pluralistic (which will always satisfy the flesh) and think that God will just overlook it! I read in the scriptures the prayer of Jesus Christ being "that they may be one even as we are one". Sounds like God wants unity not division, I mean pluralism. Outwardly yes we have the right to be pluralistic. I prefer a red car, you prefer blue. I like striped shirts, you like solids. You get the point. But inwardly God has called all of those that bear His name to be like Him. Integrity, character,piety and all of those Godly and heavenly attributes. Behold a picture of unity yet pluralistic. But now that we,as a nation, are attempting to erase any kind of Godly standard it will soon be like the days of Noah, every man doing right in his own eyes. The climax of self destruction, oh I meant pluralism.
