The Light

ANOTHER GOSPEL
I bring greeting in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Another month is passed and we are rapidly
approaching the Holiday Season. Lately it has become fashionable to say; “Happy
Holidays” rather than Merry Christmas. We certainly would not want to offend
anyone by making them think we were having fun celebrating the birthday of our
Lord and Savior. Of course many times each year we celebrate or commemorate the
birthdays of many others that have gone before like George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln and Martin Luther King. It is alright to celebrate them but not the
Savior of the world. Well my dear brother and sister in Christ stand tall and
celebrate our Savior. We are also approaching another presidential election.
Of course in addition to electing a new president we will be electing a
multitude of people to office at all levels of government.
As you give thought to the upcoming elections do not become discouraged because
there may seem to be so many issues. And who is say who is right anyway. Do
not let the enemy of your soul deceive you and chose the agenda upon which you
decide. You decide based upon the Bible. As I heard Pastor John Hagee say
recently, “vote the Bible.” There are issues that strike at the heart of God
and there are issues that reveal your heart. For example abortion strikes at
the heart of God but economic issues reveal your heart. Abortion is murder of a
person and is always absolutely contrary to God’s law. Economic issues are of
secondary importance to the Christian for God is our source. The secular media
will not reflect the position of the Bible so do not let them be a part of your
reasoning. Always have clarity concerning the Word of God.
Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death.
Sometimes as we pursue purely human reasoning we can be led very much astray.
However if we seek the Word of God and His ways then we are always on solid
ground. On the 4th of November Americans will go to the polls and
vote. The outcome will be monumental to our future. It could be that some of
what is in this article will be illegal when we come to the next presidential
elections. Today in Canada if I write an article saying that homosexuality is a
sin I could go to jail. There are those that want similar laws here, so called
hate speech laws. That is yet another way that Satan and his demonic forces are
at work to quiet the Church. The silencing of the Church started in 1954 when
then Senator Lyndon Johnson attached a rider to an Internal Revenue bill saying
that 501(c)(3) organizations could not engage in the political process. Since
then Pastors and others have lived in fear of losing the income tax exemption of
the Church. This exemption is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United
States. On that day our Pastors lost their freedom of speech. Amendment 1 of
the Amendments to the Constitution adopted on June 15, 1790 states; “Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for
a redress of grievances.” On that day not only was our Pastors freedom of
speech abridged but we lost that voice to teach us the Word of God on issues of
personal and national morality. Pastors lost the freedom to directly address
the beliefs or policies of specific candidates or parties and explain how it was
the Bible view or contrary to the Bible. Fear is the foundation of control and
that is in the realm of the Satanic. Love which brings liberty and freedom is
in the realm of our God.
Our nation was established in covenant with Almighty God. Just so there is no
misunderstanding I am talking of the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. There may be many gods but there is only one living God and that is
the God of the Bible. He is the one whom we love and adore and strive to please
at every turn. I encourage you to please Him in the voting booth as well. The
Mayflower Compact of December 11, 1620 says in part; “Having undertaken for the
glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith… [we] combine ourselves
together into a civil body politic for…furtherance of the ends aforesaid.” The
congress of the United States in 1782 approved the Holy Bible for use in all
schools. Today not only has the Bible been thrown out of the schools but God as
well.
Edmund Burke is quoted as saying; “The only thing necessary for the triumph of
evil is for good men to do nothing.” Let us all throw aside anything that
hinders us from voting and vote the Bible. The prophet Hosea said that God’s
people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
6 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.
You see when we reject knowledge we are rejected of God. Not because He wants
to reject us but what fellowship does darkness have with light? Frequently you
will hear it this way; the Bible position will be stated and the person will
respond with “yeah but”. That is a rejection of knowledge, it is rebellion, and
in short it is sin and separates us from God and brings death into our lives.
You will hear people say; “I know abortion is wrong but candidate x is going to
increase my social security or some other economic issue.” So it is ok to
murder 137 people an hour, over 3200 a day, over 1.2 million a year so that your
Social Security check goes up? How depraved can we be? What does it say about
your faith in God as your source? It says that you are fearful and unbelieving
and that candidate is your source, your god. This is a fearful place to be,
look at what God says about the fearful and unbelieving.
Revelation 21:8 (KJV)
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
So how do you like the company you keep? Instead trust the Word of God, pursue
the Kingdom of God and enter into His rest (provision).
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Hebrews 4:1-3 (KJV)
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of
entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the
word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard
it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I
have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works
were finished from the foundation of the world.
Are you seeking the kingdom of God and his righteous and believing that He will
keep His Word and add all that is needed to you? Have you entered His rest
which is His provision? The Word says that when we don’t enter His rest we
simply do not believe the gospel. Let us throw aside all fear and unbelief and
commit to Him and to His Word and watch not only the miraculous happen in our
own lives but in the life of this nation.
Proverbs 14:34 (KJV)
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to
any people.
Well, just how will a nation become righteous? The sinners certainly will not
elect righteous people to office. They will elect people that make it easy to
sin, which is to get abortions, carry on embryonic stem cell research (abortion
by any other name), expand same sex marriages and erode and eliminate individual
freedoms like the freedom of speech and to carry arms. The enemy will try to
get you to focus on the economy, healthcare, war, defense, the treats of war and
immigration. I am not minimizing these issues but they are diversionary to take
your focus off the pursuit of righteousness for our nation. The secular
(worlds) media will at the hand of demonic forces bring fear into your home day
in and day out. Focus on our God and His gospel and you will not be misled.
There are several Scriptures that make God’s position abundantly clear regarding
how seriously He views our voting. Consider Leviticus 20:1-5 where there is a
discussion of how the people were giving their children to the fire god Molech.
God said that man must be killed. That sounds pretty serious to me. We give
our unborn children to be cut to pieces alive in the womb to the god of
convenience, the god of money and the god of unwanted responsibility. What is
the difference? Psalm 50:18 says that if we see a thief and do nothing we are
equally guilty with the thief. If we consent with a candidate that supports
abortion then we become equally guilty with that candidate and the abortionist
before God. Romans 1:32 says that if we know the judgment of God concerning an
issue and we do the opposite we are guilty with them that do it. Now let us
look directly at a couple of Scriptures.
2 John 1:10-11 (KJV)
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive
him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
In his letter to the Galatians the Apostle Paul marveled at how quickly they had
accepted another gospel. Do not let that be said of you.
Galatians 1:6 (KJV)
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into
the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
When someone brings you anything that is contrary to the Word of God you are not
to receive him into your house or wish him well. For those that wish them well
are partakes of the evil deed. One might say; abortion is ok, the woman has a
right to chose and you receive that as the truth. At that moment you become a
partaker of that evil deed. Dear brothers and sisters the moment the egg of the
woman and the sperm of the man are united a person exists. God sees us as
persons even earlier than the moment the egg and sperm unit.
Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou
camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a
prophet unto the nations.
The Psalmist and prophet David said it by inspiration of the Holy Spirit like
this.
Psalm 139:13-17 (GW)
13 You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside
my mother.
14 I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and
miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of
this.
15 My bones were not hidden from you when I was being made in secret,
when I was being skillfully woven in an underground workshop.
16 Your eyes saw me when I was only a fetus. Every day {of my life}
was recorded in your book before one of them had taken place.
17 How precious are your thoughts concerning me, O God! How vast in
number they are!
Church, please do
not allow the devil to choose your agenda, your thoughts, for you have the mind
of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). So let us Awake, Arise and Triumph, take back
America for our Lord and our God so “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life
in all godliness and honesty. 3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight
of God our Saviour; 4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the
knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:2-4)
