We Can Change America
Matthew 13:24-30
The Parable of the Wheat and Tares 24 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. 27 The servants of the landowner came and said to him, "Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? how then does it have tares?" 28 and he said to them, "An enemy has done this!" The servants said unto him, "Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?"
Summary:
~ He that "soweth" the good seed is the Son of Man (Jesus)
~ The field is the world
~ The good seed are the children of the Kingdom
~ But the tares bad seed are the children of the wicked one
~ that is (Satan)
It was the plan and intent of our Founding Fathers for appointing godly people, and thereby godly principles, to be intimately involved in the political, judicial and educational realms of our government. The founders believed that only the godly would understand the unalienable freedoms provided by God and thus protect them in our government system. They never-intended for Christian principles to be divorced from public affairs.
Unfortunately, over the years, we "Christians" for the most part have voluntarily removed ourselves from the political, social and legal arenas when it comes to the direction of our nation and where it is heading today. Whenever the godly depart from any arena, their godly values depart with them. A person in office always legislates according to his or her personal beliefs and convictions, and herein the wisdom of...
Proverbs 29:2 made evident: "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when wicked people rules, the people groan."
Christians, over the years, through bad doctrine, political inactivity, apathy, and complacency, are dangerously on the verge of handing over the reins of our nation to ungodly leaders who will award lifelong appointments of hard core radical liberal justices, eager to uproot Christian values that had been the heart of this nation for centuries. Quite frankly, the court's religion-hostile decisions were merely an outgrowth of what the Christian community at large had permitted and encouraged in the decades preceding those rulings.
A biblical description of how this process worked is given by Jesus in Matthew 13:24-26. In that parable, good people had a good field growing good seed. However, an enemy came in and planted bad among the good, thus contaminating the entire field. What afforded the enemy such an opportunity? The stark answer is found in verse 25: "While [the good] men slept, [the] the enemy came.
Jesus won't fault the enemy for doing what they are doing, for it was their task and purpose to destroy the godly morals of our nation. Jesus will place the fault on the good men (us) who went to sleep, thus allowing the enemy the opportunity to contaminate the field. We definitely need to repent. Very bluntly, what has occurred in America happened first because the Church went to sleep--and then because the enemy came in and caused the damage.
First things first: The problems we have created for ourselves although colossal, can yet be solved. The first thing we must do is to put first things first:
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for leaders and for all that are in authority." 1 Timothy 2:1-2.
This is not an arbitrary, haphazard plan given by God. God wants every individual born-again believer in America to pray for civic leaders first, because civic leaders and their policies affect every individual. For our own benefit we should be praying regularly for our leaders at local, state and federal levels, in each branch of government (including), the United States Supreme Court. Prayer is the "first key" to effecting significant change, for situations do not change on earth until they have been changed in the heavenlies.
Additionally, we need to pray that God will uproot the wicked from office and raise up righteous individuals to replace them. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and having the right individuals in office will prevent the enactment of any of their damaging policies to our nation.
Christians Are a Majority. The political realm, formerly dominated by Christians, is still available to us. The elimination of religious activities and acknowledgment of God from public affairs occurred through the political system; it can therefore also restore those principles. While it might seem easier to empty the ocean with a thimble than to change politics, it is not as difficult as we may think. You've probably heard, or perhaps even made statements such as; "My vote won't make a difference anyway." "It does us no good to vote." "As Christians, we're already in the minority, so why should we vote?"
Sound familiar?
The fact is, such statements during (that time) were not true in that several years ago, a Gallup Poll showed that 84% of this nation firmly believes in Jesus Christ and a separate poll indicates that 94% believes in God. We're sure that today these poll percentages (may) have dropped significantly since those years... due to the increased apathy and complacency in many of our Churches that we see today. This same apathy and complacency may also be numbered in the true (born-again believers in) the Body of Christ that have over the years... "fell asleep" as noted in Matthew 13:25 in the Parable of the wheat and the tares as mentioned in the beginning of this writing.
While polls show that the overwhelming majority seems ready to return godly precepts to public affairs, it is clear that a vast number of our elected officials are not. Whose fault is that? Hmmm!
In recent decades, we, the (Church of Jesus Christ) have wrongly allowed the very principles which produced morality and virtue, and thus national stability, to be "restricted" today in public life. We need once again to recognize the truth so well understood by George Washington that: "The propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained."
We must become convinced of the principle expressed by Abraham Lincoln and then accept the civic responsibilities implied by his statement: "The truth announced in the Holy Scriptures, and proven by all history [is] that, "Those nations only are blessed, whose God is... their Lord."
It's not too late for "WE" the Church of Jesus Christ to... wake up and (fight the good fight of faith) for our nation in these final hours... and stand up for the true democracy our Founding Fathers started in the beginning of our existence as a... "One Nation Under God". We need to stand up against the (leftwing) radical liberal socialist "mob" movement that will destroy The United States of America as we know it if they take control.
So, if you love America... Let's join our President Donald J. Trump in prayer... that God will manifest Himself against the entire deep state workers of Satan along with the Socialist agenda of the left that are among the enemy's of our country.
Let's return back to, "In God We Trust."
