Everytime I pray this Psalm, verse 6 stands out. God knew of the democratic party's rebellion with antifa, blm, glbtq, destroying our country with riots. Open rebellion is the same as the sin of witchcraft. All these santanic communist groups think they're going to win, how nuts. No one has ever beat God !!! How long ago was this written ??? God knew before the foundations of the universe this was going to happen. More proof God's kingdom is on its way to planet earth. Lord Jesus came quickly !!
Its sad when you only see rebellion with certain group of people and not your own kind. God is not like man neither His thoughts. He create man and he is the judge not you. Thank God He's not. The real enemy is a evil spirit that's plagued the people of the land.pray the Lord will deliver us from all evil and have mercy upon us with our unrighteous thought.
To Sheree: I believe Kevin was only stating fact, as to Antifa, blm, lgbt, etc. We have all sinned and fall short of His glory. Putting that aside, we are to call sin for what it is. The groups Kevin mentioned are Marxist/communist organizations who are hell bent on destroying our nation. Time to wake up America!!!
Like nations we as individuals inside the nation should do our best to walk in God's statutes. Pride and Haughtiness is what destroys nations. There is no geographic land mass that will be taken up before the Great tribulation.
Here's you Holy nation. ( The church!! )
Matthew 21:43. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
1 Peter 2:9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
According to scripture here's where the rest of the world stands.
Joel 3:2. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
As Christians we should be trying to pull as many people we can out of this battle! Instead of joining in on a vain fight that's been going on in the world since the beginning. That's flesh seeking fleshly things, " ON BOTH SIDES "
2 Timothy 2:4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
OK...I'm not a seasoned child of Yahvah, so I'm asking this to learn:
" 2 Timothy 2:4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."
Is this to say that because we are Yahvah's soldiers we should not embrace or "enroll" in affairs of this life?
If this is the correct interpretation, are there not times when we need to "flip over the tables" because there are those interfering with "God's business"?
God called us out of this chaotic world to bare light on it to bring as many as we can out, There is an enemy behind the scene, as Chris said we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Our job is to do what the Lord has called us to do, Not to say you don't speak up for what's right and wrong, YOU DO. ALWAYS.
But be careful not to abandon the Lord's mission to join a battle in the secular world where often the Devil is the general on both sides.
I hope I'm correct in that it seems that this current enormous battle is drawing me closer and closer TO Yahvah and His teachings. I find more and more reasons to call on Him for help! I don't know how anyone is holding up under our current insanity withOUT Him!
The Apostle Paul paints the picture of a soldier at war. When we consider the soldier, with his responsibilities, his focus on the job at hand & his deprivations, we get the picture of a Christian in his warfare with the Evil One.
A soldier is required to obey every command no matter how difficult or unreasonable that might be. He has to be focused on the enemy, watching out for him, because his life & that of his platoon are at stake. Though his mind may wander back to the home, family & friends he left behind (& maybe to never see again), he brings himself back to the duty before him because it requires his full concentration. He is deprived of luxuries, of sufficient sleep & food, always at the ready at his superior's command. He thinks not of his own life, but of his company & the country for which he might one day lay down his life.
So when we look at the soldier, we can certainly see clear similarities to the warfare of a Christian. However, our warfare is "not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." ( Ephesians 6:12). So we must ask, 'what are things in this life that would side-track us from our mission?' One could say that anything that renders us weak in faith, deviate from our course, brings on doubt or fear, or engages our minds on worldly matters that do little or nothing to assist us in our battle. Each person would need to put in their own circumstances that have caused them to weaken in their battle. We can "embrace or enrol in the affairs of this life", but not to the point where those affairs are affecting our spiritual walk & warfare. And we could find examples in family, business, pursuit of pleasure, etc. The Christian must always be his own judge in these matters so that his battle may be won.
And verse 5 also speaks of the discipline & focus of the athlete at the (Grecian) games having a chance for the prize.
Like many others, I consider that my own current "mission" is to bring Yahvah back to our principality and to remove the overt demonic influences--or satan's current ownership of our governance in high places. This is not political in that both parties are sick to death with satanic illness.
Certainly, my overall mission is to know, love, and serve the Lord and to live His ways; but under this umbrella, I believe I must yell, "Fire!" in this burning building. OR...to avoid interrupting the metaphor, I might yell, "Incoming!" Because of my age, aspects of raising a family or earning a living don't interfere with my external mission against the darkness--improving my qualifications.
S Spencer, the Spirit has graced, and is gracing, you with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding (of two to make one new man). You quoted Joel 3:2, do you think the war in the valley of Jehoshaphat is the spiritual warfare spoken of by Paul, or are you of the opinion it is natural. The Spirit has led me to believe it spiritual war. I know by previous comments you understand that the elect will judge the world. What has the Spirit revealed to you about this judgement. The Spirit has revealed to me that THE BOOKS ( Revelation 20:12) or symbolic of the ones judging. The Spirit has put a great hunger and thirst in me to study and understand the prophecies. You understand that the Spirit is assembling a nation of priest and judges. The Spirit has revealed to me that this nation of priest will judge and bring to truth all those raised after these elect have been gathered. Isaiah 66:14-24, 1 Timothy 4:10, Psalms 22:27 Paul taught for two years the kingdom of heaven out of the law and prophets. Acts 28:23-31, Luke 16:31 I love reading the comments of those the SPIRIT IS WORKING in to bring ALL to HIS TRUTH.
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the UNITY of the FAITH, and of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, unto a perfect man (of two to make one new man), unto the measure of the STATURE AND FULNESS OF CHRIST.
I agree that those are horrible terrorist groups. They discriminate and oppress others using violence and evil people have allowed them to rule the streets to attain political objectives. Sickening. God will judge everyone according to their actions.
What government was Paul talking about when he said to obey them? Romans 13:1-7 The USA is a capitalist nation first and a liberal or conservative somewhere down stream. Which do you prefer, the groups mentioned or the Trump supporters? I see them as being pretty much equal. I don't see many people turning the other cheek, believing in honesty and ethics.
Why has this become part of this discussion? Remember what Jesus told Nicodemus
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
John 3:5-6 (KJV)
This might be a good time for prayer and guidance.
Hello Joseph Perry: First and foremost we are to obey God' Laws over mans law. I'm sorry that you see no difference between the political left verses the right. Donald J Trump stood for pro life and and was a friend of Israel, while Biden and company are opening the floodgates of death by supporting Planned Parenthood and have not even acknowledged Israel, while pushing a false narrative that America is systemically racist. I said, wake up America because we have in many cases fallen asleep as for truth. Too many people believe everything the main stream media says at face value without doing research to see if what they said is true or false. We as Christians are to search the scriptures in order we rightly divide truth from a lie. Likewise we should be diligent and watchful as to our surroundings and government. Yes we are to pray for them, while at the same time love what God loves and hate what God hates. We as Christians should be discussing what our government is doing, and pray that we are not deceived. I pray daily that God exposes my sins and that He gives me ears to hear and eyes to see all He would have me see and hear. In the end all will stand in front of our holy God and give an account for what we did and didn't do. It's only by His grace by which we are saved and by which we can stand. Amen...
People become upset frustrated and angry if they feel injustice is going on ,these are understandable feelings ,especially when people feel helpless to stop injustice ,there will never be any real justice in this world as long as we live under human governments ,Christ is coming ,his reward is with him and his work is before him ,all knees will bend to him and no one will be allowed to unjustly treat any one else ,at all ,ever ,please hurry up Jesus ,we all need you with us very desperately .
You're Right, Man has never been able to solve Mans problems, you can't repair the heart, The Lord came to give us a new one. We are to use the word of God when dealing with the world issues.
