GOD CHOOSES ALL KINGS AND LEADERS

    I realize there are those who don't want to believe that God chooses all kings and leaders for His own purposes, but it's true. And this includes appointing the leaders we deserve. Oy.

    The other morning I was reading Nehemiah 9 and came to a full stop when I read verse 37, and felt the burden of the truth of it: 

    Sadly, that's more true today than we might have imagined.

    Here's the link to the exact text I read, which I invite you to read (this version is much easier and also more accurate than the KJV, as this version was translated by the scholar renowned for his expertise in not only the language but the culture):

    At this time (Nov. 30, 2020), God is still keeping to Himself who it is He will position as our president for the next four years. No need to scream or screech: That statement is from the legal aspect, and it is a fact that this election is, legally, according to our Constitution, not as yet settled. Back to the topic at hand...

    This verse 39 brought to mind how our treatment of abortion has led to God making sure that if the right to shed the blood of the innocent is what we want (or will allow), and which He considers an abomination worthy of eternity in Hell, then He'll give us leaders to ensure it. As one Scripture says, He'll let us get spiritually drunk on the blood we're so willing to shed, as this 1:09-minute video proves:

    Two origins of abortion in our land are intriguing. First, the woman who founded Planned Parenthood did so in order to rid society of undesirables (that is, undesirable in her opinion, an opinion shared by other elites). The predominant so-said undesirables were Blacks. Only now, after all this time, has this fact caused Planned Parent to attempt to disassociate themselves from her--because of how it looks, now that more people know the truth. Second, the woman Roe v. Wade was about, never actually had an abortion.

    Let's consider some of the results of what was supposed to be a "safe and rare" procedure for limited causes.

    In a number of states, we can now kill healthy babies in the womb at any time for any reason (though, we've been doing this by the millions each year for decades). We can vacuum them out of existence, dismember them, scald them for hours or days while their tender skin cracks and blackens--and that's only the external effects.... We're very creative in how abortion gets done. [No apologies for using the word "kill." Deliberately ending a life is killing. Ending an innocent life is murder.] To continue...

    We now have female Satanists, who get pregnant easily, admitting they do so often and willingly. They and whomever then perform satanic rites as they kill the baby in the womb (or outside of it), because Satan prefers the fresh blood of the innocent (I didn't make this up; there are articles about this on the Internet, at least for now).

    We have people saying a "fetus" isn't a baby until the mother or parents bring it home and say it is. I heard one man in a video say he firmly believes people should have up to two years, after bringing the baby home, to decide whether to abort the child or not. He's in favor of taking offspring home "on approval." If the child doesn't measure up for some reason.... He didn't clarify, nor did the interviewer ask, what that method of "abortion" would entail. 

    Some abortionists now prefer to wait until the fourth month or later to then dilate the uterus (dangerous for the woman) so the live baby is aborted intact ... because they need to be able to remove the still-beating heart for whomever it is who's in the market for these hearts as well as the other organs and body parts. Four months or older are preferable organ sizes. And, as reported, some don't use anesthetics on the baby before removing the tiny, beating heart. Take a half a second to let that sink in.

    We have some who are adamant that should a baby survive an abortion, and can still live if given needed medical treatment, nothing should be done for it other than make it comfortable until it dies. Obviously, these are the babies whose body parts haven't been claimed or paid for or aren't to be involved in satanic rituals.

    Some abortionists have been known to save the remains in jars on shelves, or in their walls (as the Pagans saved their ritually aborted babies in the walls of Jericho).

    Then there are the other "advantages" of abortions provided at any time for any reason: Aborted fetal cells in foods, beverages, and vaccines; victims of sex-trafficking and incest get "taken care of" while their perpetrators aren't reported or arrested so can continue doing what they do. There's more, of course, but that's enough for now. 

The information is out there about each of the above, despite naysayers.

    We wanted to call abortion a woman's right to have for any reason and at any time, including full-term. We even called it health care, even when neither the mother's health or the baby's is in jeopardy. So God is giving us leaders who make sure we get what we asked for or have allowed by commission or omission.

    Here's my admission: Until Jesus called me to repent and receive Him as Savior and Lord, I never gave abortion much thought. I have friends who've had them--I didn't condemn them then and still don't (that's not my right as a follower of Jesus, though He's charged His followers to call sin a sin). 

    Deception perpetrated by the Adversary has caused all of us to stumble or fall at least once, if we're willing to be honest. At one point, I was all in on the New Age deception that eternal souls were incarnating and changing their minds or knew they'd be aborted and that's all of physical life they wanted. Whatever the deception, no longer can I look at a precious newborn or infant (or photo of one) without, first, a "reality reel" running at high speed in my mind. 

    Is what's written here offensive to you? More offensive than what is being done to healthy babies in the womb, and even once outside the womb? For any who don't agree with God's commandments about this, Isaiah 44:18 comes to mind:

  

    We did this to ourselves. God forgive us. And, if you want God's forgiveness, HE'S ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU. [See the ABC's of Salvation under this next image.]

Psalm 8:3-4 CJB says

(3) When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars that you set in place —
5 (4) what are mere mortals, that you concern yourself with them;
humans, that you watch over them with such care?

 

     

YIELD YOUR HEART TO THE LORD

As we have wrestled out, the Lord is good to draw those He loves into the wilderness places; to "Gethsemane". It is the place where we begin to quiet our over-inflated sense of self and yield our hearts to the Lord. It is a place of preparation, of repentance, and of dying to the things that will hinder our ability to demonstrate the power of God.

GOD NOT ONLY LOVES YOU, HE LIKES YOU!

Exalted as they are, however, the highest ranking angel hovering over the throne of the Most High is outranked--wonder of wonders--by the most insignificant human being who has been born again, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

CALLING FORTH THE ARMY OF YESHUA/JESUS, COMMANDER OF GOD'S ARMY: THIS ELECTION ISN'T OVER

These are Daniel days, specifically Chapter 10 in the book of Daniel. 

Saturday, November 7, 2020, after I recovered (somewhat) from learning that a news organization had (erroneously) called the presidential election in order to set that Ghost Train in motion, I felt urged to consider Daniel. Remember: He, as had others, had been captured and forced to live and serve the king of a God-less kingdom. Despite all that was going on in that Pagan realm, Daniel and his three companions stayed true to their obedience to God's words, commandments, laws, and statutes.... even to the point of being thrown into the lions' den and into a roaring fire -- only to survive without a scratch and without so much as their garments smelling of smoke. 

Point 1: No matter what transpires from this moment on, we must be faithful representatives of Almighty God in everything we do and say. Reread all of the book of Daniel and ask our Father to put that kind of trust in Him and loving obedience to Him and His righteous Kingdom ways into our hearts, minds, and mouths (and social site comments and memes).

The other thing about Daniel 10 is this: He'd realized that the end to the 70-year captivity was about to happen. He wanted to make sure this happened without a hitch (as opposed to the software "glitch" we're dealing with at this time), so he set about interceding with God about this. He waited upon the Lord for an answer... waited 21 days, mostly fasting and praying on his face in total submission to God, until an angel of the Lord came to him to let him know his prayers had been answered the first time he'd uttered them, but that a spiritual battle had prevented the angel from reaching him to let him know. 

Point 2: We are to be as faithful as Daniel in this matter...because you can bet there is a huge spiritual battle happening right this moment in the second heaven. Why?

BECAUSE WE ARE THE ARMY OF GOD

AND WE ARE ENGAGED, 

FULFILLING, 

AND RAMPING UP OUR ROLES AS INTERCESSORS 

WHO TRUST IN ALMIGHTY GOD AND THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.... 

BECAUSE AS HIS ARMY, WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.

And then there's this (FYI: This is a Messianic Bible, so don't panic):

Isaiah 40

Complete Jewish Bible

 

“Comfort and keep comforting my people,” says your God.

2 “Tell Yerushalayim to take heart; proclaim to her
that she has completed her time of service,
that her guilt has been paid off,
that she has received at the hand of Adonai
double for all her sins.”

3 A voice cries out:

“Clear a road through the desert for Adonai!
Level a highway in the ‘Aravah for our God!
4 Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill lowered,
the bumpy places made level
and the crags become a plain.
5 Then the glory of Adonai will be revealed;
all humankind together will see it,
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken.”

6 A voice says, “Proclaim!”
And I answer, “What should I proclaim?”
“All humanity is merely grass,
all its kindness like wildflowers:
7 the grass dries up, the flower fades,
when a wind from Adonai blows on it.
Surely the people are grass!
8 The grass dries up, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand forever.”

9 You who bring good news to Tziyon,
get yourself up on a high mountain;
you who bring good news to Yerushalayim,
cry out at the top of your voice!
Don’t be afraid to shout out loud!
Say to the cities of Y’hudah,
“Here is your God!
10 Here comes Adonai Elohim with power,
and his arm will rule for him.
Look! His reward is with him,
and his recompense is before him.
11 He is like a shepherd feeding his flock,
gathering his lambs with his arm,
carrying them against his chest,
gently leading the mother sheep.”

12 Who has counted the handfuls of water in the sea,
measured off the sky with a ruler,
gauged how much dust there is on the earth,
weighed the mountains on scales, or the hills in a balance?
13 Who has measured the Spirit of Adonai?
Who has been his counselor, instructing him?
14 Whom did he consult, to gain understanding?
Who taught him how to judge,
taught him what he needed to know,
showed him how to discern?

15 The nations are like a drop in a bucket,
they count like a grain of dust on the scales.
The islands weigh as little as specks of dust.
16 The L’vanon would not suffice for fuel
or its animals be enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations are like nothing.
He regards them as less than nothing.

18 With whom, then, will you compare God?
By what standard will you evaluate him?
19 An image made by a craftsman,
which a goldsmith overlays with gold,
for which he then casts silver chains?
20 A man too poor to afford an offering
chooses a piece of wood that won’t rot,
then seeks out a skilled artisan
to prepare an image that won’t fall over.

21 Don’t you know? Don’t you hear?
Haven’t you been told from the start?
Don’t you understand how the earth is set up?
22 He who sits above the circle of the earth —
for whom its inhabitants appear like grasshoppers —
stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23 He reduces princes to nothing,
the rulers of the earth to emptiness.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown,
scarcely their stem taken root in the ground,
when he blows on them, they dry up,
and the whirlwind carries them off like straw.
25 “With whom, then, will you compare me?
With whom am I equal?” asks the Holy One.

26 Turn your eyes to the heavens!
See who created these?
He brings out the army of them in sequence,
summoning each by name.
Through his great might and his massive strength,
not one of them is missing.

27 Why do you complain, Ya‘akov;
why do you say, Isra’el,
“My way is hidden from Adonai,
my rights are ignored by my God”?
28 Haven’t you known, haven’t you heard
that the everlasting God, Adonai,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
does not grow tired or weary?
His understanding cannot be fathomed.
29 He invigorates the exhausted,
he gives strength to the powerless.
30 Young men may grow tired and weary,
even the fittest may stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in Adonai will renew their strength,
they will soar aloft as with eagles’ wings;
when they are running they won’t grow weary,
when they are walking they won’t get tired.
