False Hopes and Salvation

No one is coming to “save” us. Not Trump. Not DeSantis. No. One.

For me, this is not a call to arms but a call to God Almighty. He has already provided salvation from the wrath the come via His only begotten son, Jesus, the Messiah. Only God can restore our nation, but He will only do so if we citizens who claim Christ turn to our Heavenly Father, repent of our wickedness and ask for restoration. What other options do we have?

The much touted and yearned for “civil war”, should it come about, can only result in a devastated countryside with no clear winner. In fact, we all lose.

Or we can continue to bow to a political system owned and operated by those controllers who have enriched themselves by pilfering us citizens.

Does anyone else find it strange how those of us who call ourselves Christians look to men for carnal solutions? Consider the history of the Hebrews. When they turned from God to their various idols, they lost not just wars but everything. When they turned back to God, they were restored. Have we not patterned ourselves after them? We worship material things. We look to politics and government to meet our needs and/or care for others who have needs. Meanwhile we shirk our own duty to provide for those in need. Nor do we hold those who are supposed to represent us accountable. We have allowed them to define and dilute our God-given rights, in particular our right to self-govern via a constitutional republic. Our constitution limits what government is allowed to do and yet we citizens have all turned a blind eye to nearly every encroachment on those limitations. In doing so we’ve allowed this nation to be brought to the brink of total annihilation. The controllers are willing. Already they threaten destruction via missiles and bombs, including nuclear weaponry. Does this not, in itself, blatantly demonstrate their total lack of concern for our nation?

I am certain many will scoff at the idea of asking a Holy God to restore our nation. Let me ask you, do you believe an Almighty God unwilling or unable to restore our nation? Do you really believe our rights are God-given? If so, then how can mere men take them away? If God is for us, who can stand against us? Or do you simply not believe in God at all? I ask this not of unbelievers, but of those who say they believe in God and in particular my brethren in Christ.

Consider David. All of his nation feared the Philistines to the extent not one of their champions dared face Goliath. David was a mere shepherd boy. He was not a warrior. However he believed his God was bigger than Goliath, bigger than the entire Philistine army. His response? “How DARE they!” Indeed.

So I ask you. Do you believe? Do you believe our nation was established by Almighty God? Do you believe our rights, including our right to self-govern, are GOD given? Do you believe Almighty God is able to restore our nation and rebuke the enemies of God who have usurped power? Do you believe this same Almighty God is willing to do so? How might any of this come about unless we ask Him?

As for me, I know, I KNOW, God is willing. What I am uncertain of is whether anyone will join me in my petitions to Him.
