I do not know if you all have noticed or not, but our nation is in a battle. We as Christians can no longer bury ourselves in the sand and simply wait for Jesus’s return. We must work like never before! What should we do when the liberals seem to be ahead?
The more my husband and I have become involved politically, and have been working to see strong conservatives elected in government, the more the Lord has revealed Scripture after Scripture of the reality of the depravity of our great nation. Not only the depravity of our nation, but the importance of Christians engaging ourselves in the fight.
From 1939 to 1945, America faced the great battle of World War II of which my grandfather, G.S. Crane served. Today in 2018 we live in a great battle, one fought on US territory. The United States of America is in a war against itself- a war of conservative Republicans against liberal Democrats, a war of race and gender, a war of the rich and poor, a war of evil against good.
See, our nation was founded differently than other nations. Our country was not founded as a dictatorship. We do not have kings and queens. Our nation has not been perfect, but America has been blessed by the hand of God. Why?
Our nation was founded as a country where individuals could worship God and serve Him as they saw fit. Our founding fathers wrote the Constitution of the United States in reflection of the Biblical principles founded upon the Word of God. It is no wonder that “someone” is trying to destroy the foundation that this nation was founded on.
It is no wonder that we have had a supreme court that has taken the rights of the people to vote, and forged their liberal interpretation of what they perceive the Constitution to mean in order to see millions of babies murdered. Have we grown so comfortable with hearing the word, “abortion” that we do not even cringe when hearing it? I cannot hear that word without my stomach turning upside down knowing what is being done.
Psalms 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
The following are some things that we should do when the liberals seem to be ahead:
“And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.”
II Chronicles 14:11
1. We must prove our trust in the Lord by working to see our nation saved. In this passage they prayed, they trusted in the Lord, and then they went to work to fight against the multitude.
Thankfully, we should not be fighting each other, but we should be fighting against the ideology that it is okay for America to be trillions of dollars in debt. We should be fighting against the notion that it is okay for Americans to be on government assistance if they are able-bodied and are not willing to work. We should be fighting to see bad law reversed. Just because it is legal to murder babies does not mean that we will not be judged for this evil.
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?”
James 2:14, 17, 22
2. We must realize that we cannot save our nation in our own strength, but we must have the strength of the Lord.
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.”
II Chronicles 16:9
3. We must not let our failures keep us from being victors. We will not receive a perfect body until we get to Heaven. We war against our flesh on a daily basis for good and evil. BUT… does the Lord have your heart? Is Christ your driving focus and passion? I want to see my children have the same freedom that I have had to be able to go to church and worship the Lord, to be able to have a gun to protect my home, and many other freedoms that I have enjoyed.
4. Find time to knock doors for conservative candidates.
5. Make phone calls (phone banks).
6. Become a member of a conservative club in your community so that you can learn who is running for office, know your elected officials, and learn what policies are being passed.
7. If you can afford to give to a campaign, give.
8. Remember this is your country! Let us not be slothful, and give our country over to ideology that opposes the very foundation that our nation was founded on.
9. Read and understand your Constitution.
10. Reread the history of how our country was founded.
11. Read about our founding fathers.
12. Teach your children American history. Remember that the liberals will try to subtly teach our children through Hollywood and other avenues.
13. If you are involved in social media, help share the light of the liberal agenda, through supporting the message of strong conservatives.
14. Remember that one person can make a difference. (Remember Esther, Joseph, Daniel, and Nehemiah.) These all made a difference in their country for the Lord.
15. If an elected official has previously been in office, research their voting records. Do not take the media’s word for it! Here is a link you can follow to see what Senators voted on specific bills. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=115&session=2&vote=00239 Be informed.
16. Keep your heart right with God. We cannot control others, but we can control ourselves with God’s help.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14
We as Christians can no longer see our nation as a free nation. We are under attack every day for the freedom that is ours. Our liberties are constantly at bay.
Let me just ask you, if America is no longer free how will we as Christians be able to reach people freely with the gospel of Jesus Christ? How will we continue to send missionaries worldwide? How will we continue to be Israel’s greatest ally?
I have lived in countries where we were not allowed to share the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I have been to many countries where individuals did not have the liberty to be successful if they worked hard and wanted to. My parents were missionaries to a place where we were not allowed to start a church because it was against the law.
Remember there is no nation like America. If we can continue to stay a free country, we have much more opportunities for influence as Christians. Also, our children will have the opportunity to take their talents and become successful in whatever field of business that they choose.
I hope you will read this and be challenged to join the fight for your country, America. You can do something! We have a great election coming November 6, 2018. We must pray, pray, and pray; work, work, and work!
Love,
Jackie and Dan
