The Latest Sign Of Satan's infiltration Into The GOP Is "Rotten Ronna"
According to these news items, it appears
that RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has gone rogue and has announced the establishment
of what may be LGBT coalition within the ranks of the GOP [1-2] and
without the approval of the RNC leadership who have condemned the move. [2]
Clearly Satan’s reach, influence, and
power are not confined to the anti-Christ party, but has also infiltrated the
ranks of the GOP who have long stood on the side of pro-life, biblical family values,
and Constitutional liberties.
The concern is that upon hearing this
kind of information, that professing Christians will become demoralized and
abandon the political arena and declare that all has been lost and if any of you
out there happen to be feeling that way right now, push those demoralizing
thoughts from your mind. Ban them from
your very heart and soul because if we give into any suggestion of conceding defeat,
then we truly have lost and have given away victory that we otherwise could
have had.
We serve a God of victory and who has
the final victory and therefore, if we serve a God who has won the victory
ahead of time, then there can be no room for a defeatist attitude under any
given circumstance.
Yes, there will be
disappointments. No, we will not win
every battle. There will be times when
we may very well face seemingly impossible and overwhelming odds. But we serve and follow a God in whom all
things are possible which might otherwise be impossible and who is able to turn
in our favor that which may not otherwise be.
There are times when we may need to regroup. There are times when we may need to rethink
or devise different strategies, but no matter what happens, surrender and
capitulation to the forces of evil, and allowing wickedness to flourish should
never be a part of our vocabulary but what needs to remain in our vocabulary
are virtues such as unshakeable faith, unwavering courage, unmovable steadfastness,
relentless determination, undying zeal, never-ending diligence, ongoing
vigilance, and continuous faithfulness and obedience to the God we profess to
serve and it is in His name, His authority, and power that we go forth and not
in any other name, authority, or power and it is in His wisdom and counsel that
we must seek rather than the faulty counsel of men.
We must drown out those voices of
pessimism, defeatism, and apathy and keep our morale boosted with unfailing hope,
optimism, and encouragement. Even as the
times grow darker and evil increases as the end approaches, we must ever
continue going about the service of our Lord wherever He has called each and
every one of us to serve and to use the resources, gifts, and talents that He
has given us for His glory and honor and to advance His Kingdom through the
preaching of the Gospel of salvation by which men who receive it, are saved in
Christ Jesus out of their sins and from an eternity of everlasting ongoing punishment
which is the fate of all they who remain unrepentantly in their sins.
We cannot, under any circumstances,
abandon the posts at which we have all been called to serve our God who has
redeemed us in Christ and who has paid much too high a price for us to fall
back in retreat just because we receive word of some disappointing news. We must, according to whatever capacity we are
enabled continue to faithfully serve our Lord and King until the day He calls
us out of this world before that great and terrible judgment that is to come
upon the earth.
Remember that we do not serve a
political party regardless of how respectable, honorable, and virtuous it may
be appear, but rather we serve within that political party the very God who has
used its members to as an instrument of resistance and restraint against the
wicked forces of this nation without which evil rule and abound virtually
unchecked and unchallenged.
There are still plenty of things that
can be done to drive out the evil that has infiltrated the ranks of the GOP
before the party is wholly taken over by Satan like the Democratic party has, and
it is by reason of them having wholly sold themselves over to do evil that they
are rightfully called the anti-Christ party, having shown nothing more than
utter contempt and hatred for the things of God and for those who would faithfully
and with all devotion serve and obey our Lord and Savior.
But in spite of the corrupt and
wicked elements that have infiltrated the GOP, there are still plenty of
candidates who continue to run on platforms consistent with biblical faith-based
virtues and the Constitution which has safeguarded those rights determined for
us by Almighty God and therefore, when we cast our votes every election cycle,
we are not voting for a person but rather we are voting for the platform upon
which that person campaigns recognizing that they are but an instrument for
carrying out that platform and while though there be those who have not always
been faithful to the platform upon which they have campaigned and have even betrayed
the values upon which they built their campaigns, there continue to still be
those who remain faithful to that which they were chosen and elected for and
this is all in spite of “Rotten Ronna” and other corrupt elements within the
GOP and not because of them.
But for those of you out there who
may be considering to pursue the formation of a third party, in order for third
parties to gain a presence at any or at all levels of government, one or both
major parties would have to collapse.
Only then would there be opportunity for other lesser parties to fill
the void left by the collapsed party or parties.
But for the time being, we need to petition
the RNC leadership to remove “Rotten Ronna” from her position and put in her
place someone who can be trusted to uphold the values and platform that the GOP
has championed, defended, and even advanced in the political arena. I doubt that she will simply resign no matter
how many demand that she do.
We cannot rely on the RNC or any PAC
to handpick our candidates. We need to
seek them out ourselves; anyone willing to answer the call to run for political
office at any and every given level of government and who can be trusted to
defend our Constitutional liberties, promote biblical values, as well as a host
of other issues that are important to us such as a strong private sector,
economic liberty, national security, fiscal responsibility, and the preservation
of our sovereignty as a nation, and furthermore, our donations need to go
directly to the candidates of our choosing themselves so that we can be better
sure those funds will be used for the campaign of those respective candidates.
Not everything is going to be
resolved in a single election cycle however nice that would be, but it may take
several and there will be times when we may have to side with the least bad
option or lesser of two evils but for the sake of preventing the greater evils
from prevailing and from there on, strive for better lest we find ourselves trading
one evil for an even worse one.
But when the fear and reverence of
God leaves a nation, should it be any surprise at all, that even the most
reliable, trustworthy, and honorable of entities can succumb to the power of
the evil one? We dare not allow ourselves
to be dismayed or demoralized by the recent reported events because if we do,
then we will be defeated. That the RNC Chairwoman
may be taking it upon herself to introduce into the Republican party an element
that is at odds with what it has stood for, but that just means that greater
effort is required on our part to maintain the members of the party and to keep
it purified before it reaches a point that it, like the Democrat party, is
rendered irredeemable and taken over by that same spirit of anti-Christ like
the Democrat party has been.
A time may come for a third party, but
the conditions for it are not presently right but this is more than just a
political battle and cannot be viewed in terms of Republican .v. Democrats and
even RINOs. We are engaged in a spiritual
battle for the heart, mind, and soul of our nation and not just in the
political arena but throughout every level and sector of our society and it has
been but a front of that same age-long spiritual warfare that has been going on
since the day that a certain angel named Lucifer had become lifted up in his
pride and attempted to make himself equal with God (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek.
28:12-19) not being content with the already high position that he held at the
throne of God. Because of his prideful
rebellion, he was cast from his position and became known as Satan or the
Devil. That warfare between God and
Satan became a war for the souls of men when that wicked angel, in the form of
serpent, led the first man and the first woman into eating certain forbidden
fruit from a tree called the knowledge of good and evil, thus leading to the
ruin of a beautiful peaceful world of life and light that God had created.
Man was given a choice between
choosing life and choosing death, being warned that in the day that he ate from
that forbidden tree, he would surely die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) and when the first
woman Eve was deceived by Satan into eating that forbidden fruit, (Gen. 3:4-5)
the first man Adam, her husband then joined her in the transgression and at
that point, that deadly poison of sin entered into them (Gen. 3:6-7) and as a
consequence, eventually died as they were cut off from the tree of life which
would have enabled them to live forever. (Gen. 3:22)
And the sin that entered into them was
then passed down to all of mankind thus bringing death to all of humanity (Rom.
5:12) since due to that corrupted condition of our nature, all sin and as a
consequence all die (Rom. 6:23) but not only did sin bring death to man, but with
it came a curse upon all of creation, thus ruining that once beautiful and
peaceful world that God created and giving Satan cause to claim lordship over
it, (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) thus diminishing the dominion man had over the earth
(Gen. 1:26-28) and rendering all of creation into a place ruled over by death
and decay, in which every sort of evil dwells, and in which every kind of
grief, sorrow, suffering, pain, catastrophe, and struggle abound. (Rom.
8:19-22)
But even worse, sin, into which all
of mankind is born, has caused him to become estranged from His Maker for that
which is pure, sinless, and incorruptible cannot join with that which is in sin
nor can He allow sin nor anything sinful to dwell in His Kingdom because sin affects
more than we can comprehend and brings corruption to everything it touches and
it is because of this, that sin must face eventual punishment and why those who
are under sin are not allowed into the Kingdom of God and also must face
judgment but our Creator, being a God of love and mercy, not willing that any
should perish (2 Pet. 3:9) has provided for us redemption, not by way of our
own goodness which is ever tainted by sin present within us, but through Christ
Jesus, His only begotten Son, who being without sin (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15)
was made that perfect sacrifice needed for our redemption, having taken upon
Himself that penalty demanded for sin on our behalf through His death upon the
cross and by His resurrection, making us justified in Him. (Rom. 4:25)
By His death and resurrection, Christ
conquered sin, death, the grave, and hell itself and just as we are liberated
from sin in Christ through the cleansing of our souls which makes us reconciled
to the Father in Heaven, so our bodies will be liberated from death when our
corruptible forms born into sin are changed into the incorruptible (1 Cor.
15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) in which no sin dwells, and finally, creation
itself will be liberated from its bondage when it is made anew; a world and
universe in which there dwells no sin, death, evil of any sort, nor any degree
of pain, suffering, sorrow, grief, or any of the ills present in our current
world for all these things will have been done away with. (Rev. 21-22)
But our adversary Satan, though he be
declared cast out, (Jn. 12:31) continues his fight against his Creator and relentlessly
holds as many souls captive as he can, waging war against all who would bring
the message of salvation in Christ which liberates from sin, despair, spiritual
darkness, a meaningless existence, and eternal damnation, anyone who might give
themselves over to Jesus.
The adversary has many resources at
his disposal and employs many devices against the followers of Christ and of
these things we must not be ignorant. We
fight an enemy who is subtle, manipulative, immensely intelligent, and vastly
resourceful. He does all that he can to
blind as many as he can to the liberating truth of the Gospel message through
various sorts of cleverly devised lies and falsehoods beyond count and turn away
from the faith those whom he can through the hardening of their hearts against
Christ and His followers and relentlessly strives to render useless for the
service of the Heavenly Kingdom as many professing saints as he can through
various forms of persecution, temptations, and diversions.
And what he is not able to destroy
from without, Satan will attempt to infiltrate and destroy from within those
establishments, institutions, and movements founded with good and honorable
intent and which were built upon principles of virtue and in whom the fear and
love of God resides by corrupting their members and leading them astray from
those things good, honorable, holy, and heavenly into those things worldly,
sinful, profane and evil.
Therefore, it should be no wonder as
to why entire institutions once honorable and trustworthy, and movements that
began well became bastions of wickedness and become removed from the very
intents and purpose for which they were established all because the members
thereof were not careful or diligent enough to preserve their integrity and to guard
them from being given wholly unto evil.
The greatest defeats that the people
of God suffer from are not the adversities of this fallen world, nor the various
forms of persecutions that we may face on account of the name of Christ, but it
is laziness, apathy, complacency, cowardice, the harboring of sin and those
things contrary to the ways of God within their ranks, being caught up in the
cares, worries, and things of this present world more than those of Heaven,
valuing worldly wealth and honor more than that which comes from God and Heaven,
and a lack of faith in the God who is able to deliver from evil, sustain in
hardship, provide for every need, and reward every sacrifice made in His name,
and vindicate every effort of service to Him.
But victory is realized and eventually
made manifested when we remain diligent in faithful service to the King,
vigilant the preservation of His doctrine and instruction amongst His people, hold
to unshakeable faith in the face of unfavorable odds, to unmovable courage in
the face of evil, to an undying zeal for the Lord and all things that pertain
to Him, pursue righteous, godly living and holiness, abide in the truth and
instruction of God, hold accountable those among us for their conduct and what
they bring into the body of Christ, honor God in all things, give Him praise
and thanksgiving for His goodness, call upon Him for the wisdom and
understanding needed to make prudent decisions, rely on Him for our every need
and to sustain us during difficult times, and to deliver us from evil, and when
we go forth, not in our own strength, power, or authority nor in that of any
man, movement, establishment, or institution, but in the name, power, and authority
of Jesus Christ.
Never is there a time to retreat or
surrender, especially in these last days.
Whenever we see goodness prevail, let us rejoice, but whenever we see
evil advancing and prevailing, that just means we need to work all the more harder
against it, proclaim the Gospel of Salvation all the more intensely, maintain
our own members all the more diligently, be all the more vigilant in our watch
for enemies from without as well as for those who may infiltrate our ranks or
rise up from among us, be all the more zealous in our devotion to Christ our
King, and be all the more steadfast and courageous in the face of evil. As the darkness grows, the light of Christ within
us must shine all the more brighter and as the world becomes more evil, the
more we will need to set ourselves apart from it in everything we do.
And if there be any among you reading
this post who has not yet given yourself over to Jesus, know for a fact that
there is a war between God and Satan over your soul and eternity. Which will you choose? Will choose to repent and turn away from your
sins and call upon the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness that you may be
made a citizen of His Kingdom and experience a peace and contentment in His presence
such as you have never felt before, or will you harden your heart against your
Maker, side with the forces of darkness and continue taking pleasure in the sin
that will do nothing more but sentence you into a Christless eternity of
darkness and never-ending torment that none of us in this present life can even
possibly comprehend?
The choice is ultimately yours, but
God in His mercy is not desiring that you should be condemned to eternal
damnation which is why He offered Himself up on your behalf and then rose again
from the dead so that you might be saved.
That is why that if you sense, even in the slightest, the call of the
Holy Spirit upon your heart and soul to repent, then turn away from your sins
and call upon the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins today:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of
God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with
the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of
your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive
you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in
nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
