Government is "Not" God

It is horrific to see so many people embrace government as some type of benevolent, omnipotent savior and provider for mankind, rather than the only God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Huge numbers of Christians have jumped on this unholy and ungodly bandwagon, in hope of getting their share of the loot from taxpayers and future generations.

The consequences of this evil will come back to haunt, not only America, but nations around the world, as evidenced by the crumbling of the European Union. That's just the beginning of sorrows for those who, in the end, are worshipping the state rather than God almighty, who allows for no competitors.

I've seen a number of "Christian" writers whine about the fact there may be cuts in some of their favorite, special interest programs, which of course benefit their so-called ministry.

The people of Jesus Christ have no business partnering with the government in the name of ministry on behalf of Jesus Christ. God does not allow for the glory to be given to any other, and the idea of Christians entering into these agreements so they can get crumbs from a false master's table is outrageous. Jesus Christ will answer this, and it won't be pretty before He's through with his judgement on the matter. It has already begun.

If you're Biblically literate at all, you should know that one of the major things Christ opposes is mixture. Mixing government and Christianity isn't allowable in any way, shape or form by God.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the idea of separation of Church and state, which doesn't exist in the constitution. I'm not talking about institutions being affected and permeated with the characteristics of Christ as revealed in the Holy Scriptures. I'm talking about Christians putting their faith in any government, anywhere in the world.

Men of God of old in the Scriptures taught us to not trust in horses and chariots, but in the name of our God ... no one or nothing else.

As for lessons from history, it has been proven over and over again that governments collapse when they overreach, and that is about to happen again in one of the worst economic events in history. I say that because of the interconnectivity of the global economy. Nations have become a set of dominoes, which when one topples the rest are drastically effected.

Is this inevitable. Yes! There are few politicians, commentators and media outlets willing to do and report on what must be done to right the situation. Those who are making attempts are viciously attacked and marginalized by the media, as they have largely become cheerleaders for the emerging socialist state, which will ultimately collapse under the weight of its heinous lies and promises that they are able to have a security blanket over the population from cradle to grave.

As we're seeing before our eyes, this is obviously unsustainable, even as protesters whine for even more and larger government. Don't be one of them.

If you're a Christian reading this, you need to repent and turn back and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your provider. Repentance is the starting point for individual and corporate change, and until that happens, you won't understand or be prepared for what's ahead.

Many Christian preachers are attempting to position God as the deliverer who is able to rise above any circumstance. And He is surely all of that, and more than able to. The problem is that only works for a people whose hearts are aligned with His interests and who have placed their faith in Christ and Christ alone.

To preach deliverance when their isn't repentance is an outright lie and misrepresentation of Christ. Read the prophets in the Old Testament to see if that is true. The New Testament confirms this as well, as the first words out of the mouth of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were that those hearing their words were to repent for the Kingdom of God had arrived. Jesus is that kingdom.

Another thing to consider is most of the problems we face, are in fact the result of governments interfering in the lives of people. Yet, most continue to believe somehow this is best for them, as long as they get their false security from them. You still want to go back to Egypt for garlic and leeks? You'll find yourself in slavery to the very ones you give you the crumbs off their tables. Christians are called to something far greater than that in Christ.

Finally, we need to become staunch opponents of the Federal Reserve, which is the enabler of the out of control spending and promises made by the U.S. government. Any country with a central bank faces the same challenges and problems. We need to work toward and pray for the Federal Reserve to be abolished and government to be regulated to the protective role Christ allows them to operate in, as well as the legal function. Outside of that, government has no business extending itself beyond that very limited purpose.

For Christians, there needs to be a widespread repentance of our putting faith in government rather than Jesus Christ, and we need to place our faith wholly and only in Christ as our resource for all things.

After all, the scriptures teach us that He shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory - (Philippians 4:19). We need to start embracing that as the truth.
