Sidney Powell claims that military leadership has been infiltrated by the Cabal to the extent that they cannot be expected to restore electoral integrity, hold accountable those who have been complicit in the fraud, and re-instate Trump. [1] That makes us the last line of defense, but if we are not willing to take the necessary risks, demonstrate the needed courage and resolve, put in the demanded time, and make the sacrifices required of us to defend the liberties and way of life we hold dear, then how can we expect to acquire a government that is also willing to do the same?
That which is done at the top doesn’t just simply happen. The leadership that we have is a result of what we as a people have become and our failings. We have become overly dependent upon our civic authorities to remedy every problem, meet our every need, and correct every injustice, but as we have seen, this is not always the case, and in many cases, they even commit injustices and violate the rights that we have enjoyed and guaranteed under the Constitution.
The refusal to restore confidence in
the integrity of our electoral process has been no exception.
After the Constitution was established, a woman reportedly asked Benjamin Franklin as to what was finally established. Franklin answered, “A republic, if you can keep it.” [2] Notice that he didn’t say “if the government can keep it,” but if we the people can keep it.
Do we even know what that means? Do we even know what must be done to keep our republic? Do we even know what must be done to retain the freedoms we enjoy? Do we even know the founding principles upon which our freedoms and system of government have been built? Because that is where it must begin; most of us do not really know what founding principles and virtues that our nation was built on because we do not know our history.
For decades the mainstream education system has been teaching a very shallow and stale view of history to the point that it is made out to be uninteresting and the learning thereof to be without purpose and worse, even lying about history thus depriving students of a rich, purposeful, and accurate representation of the past and as a consequence, many do not know how it is we ended up in our present state because they do not know how things actually were in the past and therefore end up repeating the mistakes of the past.
Instead of having instilled in
them the discretion to seek verification for that which is being taught them
and what is told them, they blindly place their unquestioning trust in the
teachers, the professors, reporters, leaders, and even in their never thinking
that they could ever be led astray or lied to as if those hold positions of
authority and influence are not of the same nature as those beneath them.
It is because we are blind to the nature of man which remains the same no matter what your skin color, ethnicity, gender, occupation, economic or social status. We assume that the parent will always care for their child and raise them to be a productive and upright member of society, that the religious leader will serve as the moral conscience of our culture, that the governing authorities will always deliver justice and enact decrees and policies that serve the public interest, the teachers and professors to impart knowledge, the media to keep us informed, and the entertainment industry to lift our spirits and yet forgetting that they are all of the same nature; fallible and corruptible for that is what we all are by nature no matter how good or honorable any of us may try to be.
That is why every institution that we have ever placed our trust in and every movement that we have placed our hopes in is never above corruption and is never immune to it, for they are all run by corruptible men.
That is why the parent does not always care for the child. It is why the religious leader may become the hypocrite, the academic dishonest in the education they impart, why what we hear from the media may be a lie, why the entertainment industry may affirm that which is evil while condemning that which is good, and why our governing authorities may become full of corruption, deny justice while committing injustices, and enact oppressive, wicked, and harmful policies that serve only their own interests instead of the public over whom they have ruled.
That is why the evil that we claim to despise and even fight against doesn’t just suddenly appear in places of power and influence. It rises up from somewhere and where it rises up from is a fallen nature exploited by unseen wicked spirits in high places and in the shadows; a fallen nature inherent in each and every one of us beginning with the first man and the first woman from whom we all descend. (Rom. 5:12)
But man was not always corrupted. He was created in purity and was given liberty such as we have never seen. He was given charge over the entire earth and was in perfect unity with His Maker and in harmony with nature.
The plants and trees that grew were given as food to both man and beast alike, (Gen. 1:29-30) but there was only one thing that was forbidden to man and that was the fruit coming from a certain tree of the knowledge of good and evil, (Gen. 2:16-17) being warned by God who made the heavens and the earth that in the day that he should eat of it, he would surely die.
But with subtlety the adversary of our souls approached Eve, the mother of all mankind, and deceived her into eating the forbidden fruit, and then her husband, Adam also joined her in eating the fruit, (Gen. 3) and in that day, that corruption, which scripture calls sin, entered into them, and with that came a separation between them and God, their eventual bodily deaths, and lastly the creation being subject to a curse because of sin which scripture says groans and travails in pain to this day (Rom. 8:19-22) and just as Adam and Eve died because of their disobedience, we who are descended from them also die because our sin (Rom. 6:23) which comes from the sinful nature that was passed down to us from them (Rom. 5:12) and just as they were cut off from the direct presence of God by their sin, so we who are born into sin are made estranged from our Maker who, being without sin, cannot dwell with sin nor can that which is tainted with sin be allowed into His presence and why a day is coming in which all sin must be punished and eliminated (Rev. 19-22) which means the destruction of they who take pleasure in sin and in the things of darkness and for whom there is nothing to look forward to except eternal punishment in a place of everlasting darkness and torment and there will be a day when each and every single person must give an account for all things that they have done in this life, both good and bad, and not only their actions or even the words that they speak, but they will have to give an account for even the thoughts and intents of the heart and for which they will receive their sentence accordingly.
But God has been graciously suffered with the evil in this world desiring to draw as many to repentance as possible and to offer to everyone His love and His mercy because He is not willing that any should perish but that all would turn away from their sin and from the darkness of this world and to embrace righteousness and the light of truth (2 Pet. 3:9) and it is in His great love and mercy that He has offered us redemption through His Son Christ Jesus, who was offered up on our behalf as that perfect, uncorrupted, sinless sacrifice (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) on our behalf so that both the demanded penalty of sin would be satisfied and forgiveness given to all who call upon the name of our Lord by whose blood our souls are cleansed of sin and who was raised from the dead for our justification and by whose Spirit we are transformed from those who once sought after the things that were sinful and displeasing to in the sight of our Creator to those who now seek to do those things pleasing and right in His eyes, from those who set their sights on the things of this present life to those look forward to the rewards and honors of eternity and strive for such, from those who once walked in darkness to they who desire only to live in the light, and from those seeking only to abide in the truth of our God and not in the lies of this present world or that evil spirit by whom the lost and unrepentant are deceived, oppressed, and led into eternal damnation.
And just as our souls are cleansed from sin and our fellowship with God restored in Christ, so our bodies will also be liberated from death and be changed from the corruptible form that they are in to an incorruptible form in which sin no longer resides, (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and finally, a new creation in which there is no sin, death, curse, suffering, sorrow, grief, or pain and where every tear will be wiped away. (Rev. 21-22)
Our hope cannot be in any institution, no matter how honorable and respectable it may seem, which may not grant us the deliverance that we long for or right the wrongs that we hope will be righted.
Our best and only hope is a transformation not just in outward behavior, actions, and performance, but an inward transformation of the mind, heart and soul which is only possible if enough people are willing to submit themselves to the God who is able to transform them from the inside out, turn away from their sins, and call upon the name of Christ Jesus, our Redeemer, for forgiveness and salvation.
Only when enough people begin to earnestly seek out the Lord our God, give themselves over to Christ, and submit themselves to the authority of His Word, might we ever righteousness and godliness increase in our society and the things that are evil decrease and be halted. Only then can we ever hope to have in place just and honorable governing authorities. Only then might we ever see integrity restored to our media, academia, and the things that are of God and which are good, decent, and right in His eyes being affirmed in our entertainment industry.
As Sidney Powell pointed out in the video, the link to which is featured in the end notes section of this post, we cannot rely on a corrupted government to correct itself and set things right. We need to be actively involved to whatever extent that we can, starting within our own respective communities and states, to resist the unconstitutional, unlawful, and wicked acts of the present powers and to restore confidence in the electoral process, but alongside that, those of us who be in Christ need to be about His work calling as many as we can to repentance, but before we can be the light to the world that we are called to be, to be the moral and spiritual conscience to the world that we were established to be, to be the bastions of truth that we were made to be, and to be the messengers on behalf of the Gospel of salvation that we are commanded to be, we must first purge our own members and our own body of the deception, hypocrisy, sin, evil, darkness, falsehood, greed, perverseness, immorality, apathy, cowardice, laziness, and complacency that has infiltrated our ranks and that can only be done when we commit ourselves to abiding in the authority of the divinely inspired scriptures and all of what it teaches and dedicate ourselves in the growing of its knowledge for before we can expect the world outside the four walls of our homes and churches to apply biblical instruction to itself, we must first apply it and implement it amongst our own members and to every facet of our lives.
When the Church was first established, we were united in one faith and doctrine. (Eph. 4:5) Christ was our example of perfection. It was His example we had aspired to live up to. The scriptures were the authority to which we looked to for instruction and they were found sufficient to all thing pertaining to this present life.
But then at some point, many within the Church were somehow convinced that the scriptures were not sufficient enough for our doctrine and instruction. Leaders and influencers among us began to be elevated higher than they should have been. We began accepting their teachings and doctrines without question. We then were led to believe that the scriptures were not as easy to understand as they appeared to be and were made to depend on a select few persons claiming to have special insight enabling them to acquire a superior understanding of the text than that of anyone else and thus were led into a spiritual bondage and oppression and under which we would have remained were it not for the acts of bravery carried out by those who looked to Christ alone and to no other for their salvation and stood upon the infallible authority of scripture rather than the errant doctrines of men.
False doctrines over the centuries multiplied and began to seep into our ranks, the authority of the Bible then became increasingly challenged, attacked, and undermined and with it, faith in the saving Gospel of Jesus. Instead of condemning sin, we are affirming sin. Instead of holding our members accountable for their conduct, lifestyle, and even what they preach, we harbor their sin which then spreads like a cancer to the rest of the members.
Instead of setting ourselves apart from the ways of this present world as intended for us by God (2 Pet. 2:9) and commanded of us in scripture (Rom. 12:2) we have adopted their philosophies and doctrines and have brought them into the Church and have attempted to harmonize them with the teachings of the faith and scripture which, instead of providing clarity, has only brought confusion, and instead of providing answers and establishing certainty, has only raised more questions and created more uncertainty, and instead of retaining the purity of the Gospel which calls for repentance and trust in Christ alone, there have been brought into our midst other gospels with another Jesus that is not the Jesus or the Gospel that was first delivered by the Apostles and written down in the holy scriptures, but instead we have a gospel being preached that does not require repentance but instead makes us comfortable in our sins and lulls us into a false peace about our eternity, a gospel that promises health and wealth and yet delivers neither, and a gospel that either adds or diminishes from the true Gospel delivered to us in scripture, and as a result, our congregations have become filled with unconverted souls who think they know Jesus and think they are going to Heaven but in fact are just as lost as those who never set foot inside a church building.
We need to stop appeasing and seeking favor with the world and seek the favor and honor of God above all else because it is He before whom all of mankind will stand and give an account. It is He who reward the righteous and sentence the unrepentant sinner.
We need to stop fearing man who may have power over the body but whom has no power over the soul, but fear the God who has power over both body and soul.
We need to return to the authority of scripture and rely on the sufficiency thereof because it is in the scriptures by which the Gospel is delivered to us that we find a doctrine that is pure and without fault. Anything else apart from the divinely inspired Word of God is subject to error and fallibility.
Our understanding and rendering of the scripture needs to be based solely upon the context and full counsel thereof and nothing more or less. It needs to based on what it alone says and not on what any man says that it says. The scriptures say what they say and don’t say what they don’t say and the mean what they say and mean nothing part from their intended meaning made clear by the text itself.
We must look to Christ alone as our one and only perfect example that we should aspire to and remember that they who are set in authority over us also have a power over them to which they must give an account and are subject to and they of influence, no matter how inspiring they may be or how much wisdom and knowledge they may appear to possess, are but instruments and fellow servants of the Lord just like the rest of us and while they may be used to set a precedent for us, they can still err, are subject to failure, and can disgrace themselves just like the rest of us.
Everyone of us is a potential standard bearer and when one standard bearer falls, any of us should be ready to carry on that standard.
We need to stop rallying behind corruptible and errant denominations and movements and start rallying behind the incorruptible Christ.
We need to stop placing our trust in corruptible institutions run by men and start placing our trust in a government and Kingdom that will not be run by corruptible men but by an incorruptible God.
We need to stop seeking the favor of the world and seek after the favor of the God who made us.
We need to commit ourselves to preserving the truth of God within our ranks and drive out from our midst anything that runs contrary to in any way, shape, or form and those things that add or detract from it but in order to do that, we need to dedicate ourselves to the diligent study of the scriptures (1 Tim. 2:15) divinely inspired of Him (2 Tim. 3:16) placing our reliance upon them alone for our doctrine and nothing else.
We need to make ourselves ready to give as reasoned as sound of a defense for our faith when confronted with intellectual challenges.
We need our lives to reflect the profession of our faith by seeking to honor God in everything we do.
We need to be prepared for opposition coming in various forms and degrees as we seek to faithfully serve and follow our Lord.
We need to understand that and not take lightly that there is an age-long war between God and Satan, the enemy of God, for the souls of men; God drawing as many as He can into redemption and reconciliation; Satan drawing as many into destruction and eternal damnation as he can.
We need to learn and understand when and how this war began and why and we must not be ignorant of the various and many devices that Satan uses and employs to hold as many souls captive as he can and to hinder the work of God.
We need to be aware that our walk with Christ will not always be easy and to prepare ourselves accordingly.
When we who are in Christ commit ourselves to these things, only then will we become the light to the world that we are supposed to be, the citizens of the Kingdom of God that we claim part in, and the messengers of the Gospel of salvation that we are called to be. And only then will we have any hope of changing and influencing our society, culture, and nation towards a better path and towards the God of redemption and salvation.
But if we, as Christians do not clean out and maintain our own house, then we are no longer serving as the vessel needed to bring about the solution, but instead we become a part of the problem.
I would ask any and everyone to examine yourself before Almighty God to determine if you are a part of the problem or a part of the solution. If you are willing to submit yourself to your Creator, repent of your sins, reject the lies that saturate this present world, and turn away from the darkness, wickedness, and evil that is in it, and embrace righteousness, godliness, and the truth that comes from God alone, then you have set yourself on the way to becoming a part of the solution.
But if you harden your heart against your Maker and set yourself at enmity with Him, and embrace sin instead of righteousness, evil instead of good, darkness instead of light, reject His truth, love, mercy, and offer of redemption and forgiveness, then you are not a part of the solution but a part of the problems that plague this world.
The days are ever becoming increasingly darker and the battle between good and evil is becoming even more intense and will eventually reach a climax at which point evil will be vanquished and they who have chosen to stand against God will receive their sentence and face a terrifying punishment that lasts for all eternity.
But at present Christ is calling as many as are willing to embrace His forgiveness and submit themselves to Him for He is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) but eventually evil and sin will reach a measure that must warrant punishment and judgment which is why I urge anyone reading this post that if you have not called upon the name of Christ for salvation, to do so and ask Him to forgive you of your sins so that you may escape eternal damnation and receive eternal salvation, and make Him both Lord and Savior of your life so that you may be made anew and become a vessel of honor and glory in His name.
If you are not sure what to pray, here is an example of what to pray:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
