Thoughts from discussion on at Sigma Frame… https://sigmaframe.wordpress.com/2023/03/22/order-out-of-chaos/
I Peter 2:15-16 (NKJV)
15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men — 16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.
This is our national failure, and the greatest threat to our liberty. Our government, and most especially our courts, have reduced the ideal of liberty to nothing more than a cloak for vice.
— The First Amendment, we are told, protects pornographers and blasphemers, but not the prayers of a school teacher.
— The Constitution, we are told, protects the right of sodomites to engage in pseudo-marriages, but not the natural rights of fathers.
— Due process, we are told, applies to the worst of murderers and pedophiles, but not to political enemies of the ruling class.
— The right to assemble, we are told, protects looters and rioters, but not assembling as the church to sing hymns.
Our liberty is a great blessing given by God. When the people forget God, and use His blessings against His will it is only a matter of time until God removes those blessings. In His grace God may allow time for us to repent, but eventually judgement must come to those who insist on defying His will.
Our leaders have sown the whirlwind, and now pray for a crop failure.
Galatians 5:13-15 (NKJV)
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
Today in many of our major metropolises, including New York City, in the name of liberty rulers allow thieves to run rampant, despoiling honest storekeepers and businesses without fear of any temporal consequences. The result is a society devouring itself, where a few hundred criminals have cowed a city of millions and are ripping the social fabric to shreds. Liberty for the lawless makes all the world a prison.
Today in many of our schools, including even many posh private institution, children are taught that liberty entails debasing themselves through obscene abuses of their bodies. The pedagogy of perverse pedophiles seems the order of the day, and any who oppose it risk career and physical attack. When all the world is a brothel, even children are forced into whoredom.
Today in much of our popular culture, including especially what passes for music, crimes that were unthinkable a generation ago are celebrated as expressions of liberty. Liberty for the libertines makes all society an opium den.
Our society has used, and continues to use, liberty as an opportunity for the flesh. The false prophets of this filth would have been better off dragged to the depths of the sea with a cement necktie.
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Romans 13, KJV
At the federal level, and in “blue” enclaves, our nation today has inverted this passage. Romans 13 presents God’s charge to Christians in dealing with civil authority; in so doing Paul also explains the purpose of God’s extension of authority to civil government.
Our federal rulers now use the power of the state to resist God; hence the legal battle to force acceptance of every type of sexual degeneracy.
In blue states the police are no longer a terror to the evil; thieves travel in packs looting the innocent without fear, while local police and citizens alike cower… not in fear of the thieves they could easily overpower, but of the iron shod boot of Federal Law Enforcement that will crush them if they interfere with the looting. In many blue areas looters are paid for having looted, see recent developments in both New York City and Philadelphia.
Insofar as facing actual criminals, our law enforcement apparatus does indeed now bear the sword in vain. The sword is reserved for those who pray at the wrong time and place, for those who refuse to give their services to celebrate sodomite degeneracy, for those who speak out against child molesters in schools.
Our federal government has completely inverted Romans 13, and this inversion is Satanic.
Our nation has turned aside from a loving God who gave us liberty. Only repentance can save us now.
Pray without ceasing. Pray for strength and courage to publicly speak the truth without fear. Pray for courage and strength to assemble and worship as a church especially when the government forbids it. Pray for courage and strength to risk career, wealth and comfort by refusing to participate in other men’s sins. Pray for courage and strength to be a light to children struggling in the dark.
Never, ever give up.
Our enemies are never as strong as the world would make them seem.
If you trust in and rely on God you will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
If every man is against you, then congratulations… you’ve just been dropped into a target rich environment. Use the sword of the spirit.
