REBELLIOUS?
Rom 13:1
1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. NASU
** Sometimes I think I am such a rebellious person. I know that this verse is very clear and if you read the whole chapter it is very clear Paul is talking about the wild and undisciplined Christians that were doing things not only un-spiritual but also un-lawful:
Rom 13:13-14
13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
NASU
So what do we do with authorities that do not carry with them the fear of God? I mean those who do not obey the bible and commit sin against God?
Here are some examples that I am dealing with right now. The new administration coming into power in our government in January believes and follows these principles:
** Re-instating partial birth abortion. (this is where the pull the baby out of the womb even as grown as 7months pregnancy) legs first and then leave the head in the birthing canal. Then they use a sharp object and shove it into the back of it’s skull from the back of the neck. Then when the baby dies, they pull it a part piece by piece.
** Using tax payers (mine and yours) dollars to pay for abortions to other countries.
** The appointment of a lesbian minster to the white house for spiritual advisory.
These are just a few things I cannot submit to, nor do I believe God requires me to. Will I pray for this administration? Absolutely! I will probably pray more for this administration that any other in the past. I pray for wisdom and I pray for conviction of the Holy Spirit to change their sinful ways and turn from their wicked ways and humble themselves and ask God to forgive them for the babies that they are allowing to be aborted. I pray this and have prayed this for years during many administrations. God will not bless a country who allows this to go on and He will not bless people who have put these people in authority over our country. I pray that the TRUE church of Jesus will rise up and be the great example that they are suppose to be instead of following the worlds culture. I’m talking about the TRUE church who DOES NOT FOLLOW those who just say what they want to hear. Ok, Ok so now I’m preaching again…..

Ohhhh my. That's all I can think of to say. Help us to be true followers of Jesus and to stand in the gap for all these people and things they believe in and to pray for the intercession of the Holy Spirit to convict them in their spirits of these terrible things, that they would turn from them and accept Jesus as their Lord and allow themselves to be transformed in their thinking, their hearts, to be followers of Jesus. In Jesus name, amen. Ohhh my Lord.
Pastor Dave - the funniest thing happened to me this morning. I offered to buy a homeless lady a cup of coffee this morning. She declined (I know she felt embarrassed), so I told her if she changed her mind I would be inside and would buy her a cup of coffee. Well, she did change her mind and so I told the girls I would pay for her coffee. While they were getting my coffee, she also decided on a few other things. LOL $12 later .....Oh well. I will pray for her.
