Those Who Test God

“Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you would hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
‘When your fathers tested Me,
They tried Me, though they had seen My work.
For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
Therefore I swore in My anger,
Truly they shall not enter into My rest.’” (Psalm 95:6-11 NASB1995)

“When Your Fathers Tested Me”

I live in the United States of America (USA). And this morning I believe the Lord is paralleling the fathers of these people who tested God in the wilderness with the political fathers (rulers) of my nation, both past and present (perhaps not all of them). For they are a law unto themselves, who do as they choose, regardless of who gets hurt or who has to die in the process, in order for them to accomplish their goals of world domination.

For, from what I have read, as led by the Holy Spirit, in hundreds of articles on the internet, over the past 21 years, this is my understanding:

Our government has sent our military into other nations, many times on false pretenses, in order to “rape” those other nations of their natural resources and to overtake their governments for political gain, and in preparation for the rule of the beast and the New World Order, which is now upon us, even if not in its full form as of yet. First they create the chaos, and then they come in to “rescue” these other nations from what ails them.

And they are doing the same types of things to the people in my own nation. And I believe we are being taken down, one piece at a time, with the goal to obliterate the USA as an independent nation and to bring us into conformity with the one world government, along with all the other nations of the world. Many of us are seeing parallels between our present form of government and that of the Nazis and Hitler and their political regime during WW2.

Don’t Harden Your Hearts

Many of us are seeing that we are not “the land of the free and the home of the brave” which is talked about in one of our patriotic songs of worship of the USA government. We are definitely not one nation under the one true God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, which is what we were taught to recite in our pledge (vow) of allegiance (worship) to our government, with hand over heart, in public schools, and in our state “churches” in the USA.

But this not just about the fathers of our nations or our own earthly fathers and what they did or did not do, and how they treated God. This is about us, and how we are treating God with our lives presently. But it is to awaken us to the reality that my nation, and perhaps other nations, are not what they are purported to be, and we should not, as followers of Christ, be giving our worship, loyalty, and devotion to any human institution or to any people.

We are to give our worship, devotion, loyalty, fidelity, and adoration to God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – and to Him alone. Yes, we are to obey the laws of the land, and we are to obey our governing authorities, but only as it does not conflict with the commands of God, and as long as it does not turn into worship of the government or of any other physical nation. For we are to come out from the world and to be separate, different from the world because we are becoming like Christ in thought, character, and deed.

So many who profess faith in Jesus Christ, though, are not becoming like Christ, because they are not of genuine biblical faith in the Lord Jesus. But Jesus requires that we die with him to sin and that we now walk in obedience to his commands as part of and as evidence of biblical faith which saves us from our sins and which promises us eternal life with God. For if sin is what we practice, and not obeying God, we have not eternal life with God.

So, this is a call to genuine repentance, to leave our lives of sin behind us, and to now walk in the ways of the Lord in righteousness, holiness, honesty, moral purity, and faithfulness to our Lord and to his commands, and to his will and purpose for our lives. For if we harden our hearts, and if we continue in deliberate and habitual sin, and we don’t surrender our lives to the authority of Christ over our lives, heaven will not be our eternal destiny.

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
