SUBJECT – HOW CHRISTIANS SHOULD VOTE, AND WHY!! [1]
PLAY/DOWNLOAD [MP3]
This month's subject, is one that carries with it an air of Truth, and controversy, because it dares to cross the line, so to speak, of the decades old belief of
'separation of Church and state.'
From the get go, I am going to make a statement, that may seem brash, and unChristianlike, nevertheless, it is God's Truth, given the conditions we live in, in this nation, and it is this,
'NO CHRISTIAN, IRREGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED OR OTHER AFFILIATION, SHOULD BE SUPPORTING, OR BE A CANDIDATE IN, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, [PERIOD]!!!
Read it again!
Now that I have your attention, unless you have decided not to read any further, you might say, I am going too far. Oh, really???
Well, what if I told you, that the Holy Spirit, told me to write, and put this message on
'cd' [available from the ministry store, link on home page of this ministry], to let His Children know that He is not pleased with our hypocrisy, and double mindedness??
Look at the subject scriptures. What do they tell you??
They tell me, that Jesus Christ, no less, is talking about a group of people, who, are as double minded as you can get. And how are they doing it??
By paying Him, lip service [praising Him, worshiping Him, testifying about how good He is, that He is the answer to all of our problems, and the whole nine yards], while all the time, not giving a damn, about what He has to say about the choices they make. [note: I am not sorry for using this language, which, is only a shadow of how God really feels.] It is just that serious.
Now, the next logical question would be, what is wrong with the Democratic Party?? Why am I singling them out??
The answer is,
this party, and its platform, are at war with the Christ, you Christians are supposed to be serving.
Tell me, can a person love someone, and be at war with them, at the same time?? No way!! Yet, if you are supporting this party, or are a
candidate in this party, that is exactly what you are doing.
And just how, or what circumstances am I basing my statements about this party, on?? Well let's look at it this way. What you should be asking, is what is God basing this opinion on!!
As the subject scripture says, too many of you, are hypocrites, because you claim one thing, but live another.
Now let's look at things, the way God sees them.
We all know, or should know that God hates sin. Not the individual, but the sin, the individual is involved with. The bible tells us, '
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. It also says,
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'
Tell me, what are wages?? They are something you work for, right?? Would you believe that people are working as hard as they can, 24/7, so they can be destroyed, and, end up in hell?? Well that is what the sinner, is doing every day. However, he is not the only one doing it. Many of you that name the name of Christ, have opted to support them in their foolishness, by providing fertile ground, for them to flourish, in it.
And just how is that, you ask???
Well, if you can accept the fact that, much of what is wrong in this nation, stems, not from what the Republicans, George Bush, the religious right, the Tea party, or any other group, are, or are not doing, as much as it is the result of the sin, this nation supports. Remember what sin is, and what the wages of it, is.
If we look in the old testament, and read about all the nations, including the children of Israel, we will see one very common theme, and that is, when the nations abided by what God said, they were blessed and prospered
Deuteronomy 28:1-14. On the other hand, if they chose to defy God, they were cursed
Deuteronomy 28:15-68.
This went for every nation, or individual, including God's own chosen people. So, there is plenty of evidence to show us what God will do, when it comes to dealing with their disobedience.
Now, transfer to this nation, in this day and time.
What you first need to know, is God still responds to disobedience the exact same way, He did, back then, even though we live in the
'Dispensation of Grace!'
The bible tells us,
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. It also says, 'Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.' The old testament, is yesterday, the new testament is today, and the future, is tomorrow.
Now, getting back to the relationship between God, the Democratic party, and the Christians that support them.
Quite simply put, just about every thing that God calls sin, the Democrats support.
Abortion [this one, He hates the most],
gay rights [when those rights, include, overriding the rights of others that are following His direction, and outright defy Him.]
Separation of church and state [this one really means, separation of God, and state]. Note: this means, we are telling God, we don't want Him involved in the affairs of this country. Then we wonder why the country is falling apart. And, before I forget, we have
affirmative action, the gold standard of the black community, which God also hates. The bible says, God, is no respecter of persons. That means, since the Christian, is supposed to be representing God, then we Christians, that are black, should not be demanding special treatment, solely on the fact that we are black.
All of these things, are contrary to what God says is Right, and, the Democratic party supports them all. And you Christian, go along with them. And as such, you will pay the price
and this one, 'Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.]
This party, is sowing the seeds of our destruction, and you Christian, are going along with it. For what?? Because, like Judas, they offer you a few pieces of silver, and you jump at it.
Well, look at what Jesus had to say about those that take up with this party, and its platform. Especially when it comes down to attacking those that stand up for Righteousness. He says,
'It would be better for them to have millstone tied around their necks, and that they be drowned in the depths of the sea[Mat. 18:6]. Do you know what that means?? It means your final resting place, will be, where no one will be able to come visit, and the sea creatures, will devour your body, where there will be no trace of you ever existing.
But, it doesn't stop there.
Because of your foolishness, in supporting this party, those close to you are, put at risk, or, suffering. Especially after you have been warned, and you choose to reject it. I know of several people, Christians, that have lost close loved ones, through tragic circumstances, like accidents, illness, or crime, after they have been warned about supporting the evil this party is doing, and they chose to ignore it, and avoid those of us, that God has told, to warn them, so they won't be convicted of their error. God, has no qualms about cursing those that think they have nothing to worry about, because they are saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. Think again. If God dealt with His own people that way, then, you need to take heed.
If you read Deuteronomy 28:15-end, you can see what you can expect.
You can say, you don't support everything the party stands for, but you are just fooling yourself.
'Can two walk together, except they be agreed?? [Amos 3:3] If you support any thing they do, you are supporting everything they are doing. They and their policies are cursed, and because you support
them, you are too.
The Christian, as part of the Church, is supposed to be about, defeating, or destroying the works of the devil,
Mat 16:18-19 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. But you, are giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
In order to get rid of the evil this nation is involved in, you have to get rid of the source of this evil, and the Democratic party, ranks at the top of the list. It would be better for Christians, to either support the Republican party, or, be independents. That way, when it comes time to vote on the issues of this evil, people won't have to listen to the fear mongering, the Democrats use, to keep people supporting them. You know like, the Republicans are going to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. That keeps the seniors in line. Or, the Republicans are going to turn back the clock on civil rights, and affirmative action, that keeps the blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups, in line. Or, the Republicans are going to eliminate blue collar jobs, or keep giving money to the rich, that keeps workers, and unions, in line.
Now, granted, some of what they say, may be true, but, the fact is, a lot of those things need to be gotten rid of, because they are destroying this nation, and its economy.
Any sensible, person with God's wisdom, knows you can't keep spending money you don't have, no matter what you are trying to do. The Democratic party, doesn't see it like that. They make all of these promises to the voters, to keep them supporting the party. In other words, they are bribing the people, to get their votes.
This is right out of the Devil's play book, getting people to
'sell their souls, to him.' Christians, should know better.
But, it's not all their [Christians] fault. The real fault, lies with the preachers, that are leaders in their communities, that have 'sold out' to the Democratic party, for popularity, and power. Whenever the Democratic party is in trouble, the first thing they do, is contact these Pharisees, and tell them to go out, and spread the message, that if the party loses, they lose.
What is interesting about this is, when they do win, the people are still losing. Why?? God's curse on the disobedient.
These preachers, have gotten to the point, as Jesus said in the subject verses, where they have ceased preaching the Truth of God's word, and have taken up, preaching the doctrine of men [the Democratic party].
It is past time, for Christians to wake up, and abandon this party, or continue to face God's wrath.
The Republican party, though not perfect, is a party that is rooted in the Truth of God's word. That is why the Democratic party, is always attacking them, when they are standing on the moral issues this nation needs to get back to. So they are the next best choice. If not them, then who??
God is waiting for your answer. Will it be blessing, or cursing??
