Yesterday, I was seeking the Lord for this nation. There is no question we have been guilty of grievous sins, but the thing I was telling the Lord was that much of this was the result of our leaders and our judges. Nobody comes to power unless the Lord raises them up. That means that every President, member of Congress and the Senate, Governors, Judges, anyone, was put in place by the Lord. As such, when the evil we see today is the result of horrible decisions by our courts and leaders, I was asking the Lord to take this into consideration and have mercy on us. This is something I have believed for a long time. I have seen the correlation between evil Kings, Presidents, Judges, etc., and how that when we have bad rulers, evil prevails. With good leaders, things go well. I got an answer to this, and it was not easy to swallow, but I cannot deny it is true.
Why does God put bad people into positions of authority? One reason is to test us. What will we do when faced with corrupt judges, bad Presidents, awful members of the Senate and House? I blamed the Supreme Court for God being removed from our land. I blamed the same Supreme Court for 1.3 million abortions each year and gay marriage. Here is what the Lord showed me. Yes, these people did open the door for those things, even the pornography and filth that has spread everywhere, but we do not have to do evil just because nobody will stop us. Let that sink in. The Supreme Court did not make us stop worshipping God. The Supreme Court did not make anyone kill their unborn children. The Supreme Court did not make one homosexual couple get together and marry. The Supreme Court did not force anyone to make porn or wallow in the filth. We choose to do those things, because our heart is not right. What the Lord showed me is that we need to look inside and ask if we would do the right thing, even if we are not be threatened with jail or fines?
If we want to put a stop to babies being killed, do not kill your unborn child. If you hate porn, do not buy or watch it. If you do not approve of divorce, stay married. If you hate idolatry, worship the Lord God only. If you do not approve of gay marriage, do not commit acts of sodomy. If you do not believe in sex outside of marriage, do not commit fornication. The problem lies with us, not our bad leaders. We have the leaders we deserve. It will do no good to complain to God that the reason we are in the trouble we are is because of our leaders. If we refused to do evil, no matter what is allowed, the nation would not be full of sin. That is especially true of the church. We should do the right thing, just because we know that God expects it of us. We should follow God's order regardless of our culture. When judgement comes, it is on us if we are not going to do right without being threatened.
