Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010 Our nation is hanging by a thread John 13:34, 15:12 & 15:17
Yesterday Rush Limbaugh said something very prophetic, he said that our nation, as we know it, is hanging by a thread. Rush is right, what was done by the democrat and it’s party Sunday, can easily be considered the death of the US Constitution. It certainly ended any hope that the US would remain even marginally pro-life. It ended any delusion that any member of the democrat’s party could be pro-life. Rush mentioned that he could see the distinct possibility that there would be no elections this November or two years hence, or that by giving citizenship to the millions and millions of illegal aliens in the country, the election would be a sham, a joke, a sick perverted rigged joke, keeping the communist illegal alien usurper in the oval office and the party of his lord in power.
Rush and others are painting a very bleak outlook for the United States, our United States, but what Rush neglected to do was put the blame where it rightfully belongs. Rush and the others were blaming the children of and the party of satan, he is wrong. Satan can do nothing that God does not allow. And why would God allow the party of the slaves of satan to destroy our nation? If you cannot answer that then you are more of the problem that even I suspected. For the reason our nation is on the verge of destruction is us, the fractured bride of Christ.
Why did God allow the destruction of Israel by the children of the devil? Was it not because they turned from Him to worship false gods? What do we worship here in the USA? Do we as a nation fear God? Do we as a nation love God? Do we as a nation put God first? Are we as a nation followers of Christ? What about you individually, do you fear Christ, do you love Christ, do you put Christ first and follow Him?
Jesus has instructed us, He has warned us, that No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Do you put money ahead of Christ and His people? Do you put denominational things ahead of fellowship with the rest of the bride of Christ?
There is but one way for us to restore our liberties and freedoms, that one way is not thru the ballot box, it is not thru the barrel of a rifle, it is not thru the republican party, it is thru Christ. And Christ has told us that first and foremost we must Love one another, love the brethren and pray for our enemies. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
My dear brothers and sisters, before you can love your enemies you must first love your fellow Christians, for we make up the bride of Christ.
Unto the bride of Christ in the United States of America, to all of you who are sanctified by and in Christ Jesus, you who are called to be saints, all of you that are in every place that call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
Today I thank our God on your behalf, for the grace of God which has been given to all of you by our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. That in everything you say, everything you think and know you are enriched by Him. Even as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you. So that while you wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ you by your actions, your deeds, your dress, demeanor, speech and worship you are a testimony to the world of your love and devotion to the one and only true and living God, our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. He who shall also confirm you unto the end, that you may be found blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Never forget that our God is faithful, and that it is by Him, God the Father who called you and me, and all other Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb Christians, into fellowship with His Son, our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ.
Now I beseech you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no denominational divisions among you, that you all be perfectly joined together in the same mind, using the same judgment, preaching the same Gospel. For it has become obvious to all, Christian and non Christian as well that the denominational differences that you focus on, in lieu of the unity found in the Gospel of Christ Jesus, has created distractions that have broken the fellowship of the body of Christ causing our focus to be on other than our Lord Christ Jesus. Causing distentions among you and a less than loving relationship between the members of the bride of Christ.
Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am a Baptist, or I am a Pentecostalist, or I am a this or a that. Has Christ been divided? Was any other than Christ crucified for you? Were you baptized in some name other than Christ? I thank God that I baptized none of you, lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. For Christ has sent up to baptize in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost and to preach Him and Him Crucified, the good news of salvation, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not with fancy names, terms and words, lest the cross of Christ should be made confusing and of no effect. But with the pain and simple truth of the Gospel so that all can understand, all can come to the Lord repenting and confessing for salvation.
For the preaching of the cross is to those that are damned and perish foolishness. But to those of us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where are the wise? Where is the doctor of liberal theology, of twisted theology, of confusing by the use of language hard to understand theology? Where are the disputers of God’s account of His having created the world in six literal and consecutive 24 hour days? Has not God made foolish the so called wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by their convoluted wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, that by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the unsaved require a sign, and those who consider themselves educated in the ways of the world seek after more and more of the wisdom of the word to make their theories sound less foolish. They use titles and large words, brisk and rude manner, they are dismissive of those that refuse to fall under their spell, all this while working to divide the Bride of Christ and enlarge the synagogue of satan. And you, my dear brothers and sisters, by focusing not on the wonderful salvation message of Christ and the cross, but instead the denominational differences that separate us, fall into the trap, hide within your own little denominational enclaves and shun instead of loving the brethren.
But if we are true to preaching Christ and Him crucified, which to the secular world is a stumbling block, and unto the wise with wisdom of this world foolishness, but unto those which are called, both from the secular world and the world of the wise, Christ is the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Know and understand this, the foolishness of God is wiser than all of the combined wisdom of men and the weakness of God is stronger than all men combined.
Do you see your calling as true Born Again Washed in the Blood of the Lamb Christians? Brothers, do you not see how not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. For God hath chosen the uneducated in the ways of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak of the world to confound the politically and financially powerful. God has chosen we, the plain, the dedicated to Him, we who are despised by the rich, the powerful, the mighty of the world. Yes, God has chosen us, so that no flesh should glory in His presence, but that all might know and understand, confess and announce that salvation is only possible thru Christ and Him crucified. Giving God and only God the credit and praise.
Only through Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who by the grace of God is made and understood by us as wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. That, as it is written, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. ” From First Corinthians chapter one.
Do you see that the only chance this nation, and I dare say this earth has is for us, the emissaries of Christ, to stop letting ourselves be divided by denominational differences and to focus on loving one and other. For only then can we “Love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for those which despitefully use us, and persecute us.”
Folks, the absolute best tool, other than the Bible, for introducing folks to Christ is the new movie The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry by Rich Christiano. It is built around forgiveness and salvation. In it there is a bully, he get’s saved. This salvation process is straight forward and absolutely Biblical, but because the movie does not have even the trace of denomination prejudices, there are many churches and pastors who will not avail themselves of it because it does not include there denominations own peculiar method of interpretation of a differences here and there. How can I make such a statement? That is simple, in Maine I am the only authorised agent of Five and Two productions, I have the only legitimate copies of the movie, no church can show it or even get a copy of it without going thru me. So I know what churches have shown it an which haven’t I know what pastors from all different denominations have used as reason for not using it.
Now let me make another couple of statements.
The republican party is not going to restore the Republic and your freedoms. Only Christ can and will do that.
Christ is not going to rescue a divided, splintered, church that puts preaching denominational garbage over preaching Him and Him crucified.
Christ is not going to reach down and rescue a nation that puts mammon ahead of Him.
Christ is not going to raise up a leader for us until we can all agree that as member of His bride, we will put Him first. Right now, we, the bride of Christ are more like a harem full of jealous teen age girls than one mature virgin bride of Christ.
And the only way Christ comes to our rescue is if we obey Him, if we put Him first and stop fighting between ourselves.
First: That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 13:34, 15:12 & 15:17 For then and only then can you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
And only then can you put Christ first in your life, put Him ahead of mammon. Remember Christ is unity, satan is divison.
