I watched the inauguration yesterday of President Trump and Vice President Pence. One thing really stuck out to me. And that is, how Christian the whole service was. No matter how many atheists were part of it, no matter how many times the Federal Govt. has ruled against Christianity and the Bible in our schools and public places due to the whining of atheists and other religions, when it comes down to the traditional transference of power, it goes back to the roots of our heritage. And those roots are Christian.
It begins in St. Johns Church with the two men meeting with the Pastor and hearing from the Bible and then praying. When it comes time to be sworn in they must lay their hands on the Bible. The Bible, which the Federal Govt forces out of schools and court rooms on the local level. They lay their hands on the Bible and swear before God to administer their duties faithfully. They swear to the God of the Bible. A Jewish Rabbi was present and gave readings from the Old Testament. Franklin Graham was present and read from the New Testament. A bishop was present, I believe from the Episcopalian Church, and read also from the New Testament. All prayed to God, the God of the Bible. Graham and the bishop prayed in the Name of Jesus Christ.
What am I saying? I'm saying all this whining about the U.S. not being a Christian nation is a lie. It was a Christian nation. It was Christians that peopled it in its origin. It's laws are based upon the Bible. It's customs and roots are based upon Christianity. This country literally will not work unless it is based upon the Bible and Christianity. All this talk of 'separation of church and state' is just that, talk. That is not part of our Constitution. And though we allow religious liberty, we still must stick to our roots and the government must acknowledge the importance of the Christian Faith in it's existence and in it's daily exercise of government. This will bring the blessing of God upon it again.
The less Christian we are, the less we support Israel. Which is why under Obama, the U.S. moved away from Israel and threw her to her enemies. Trump has embraced the Christian Faith of this country, though his own salvation is questionable, and as a result is pro-Israel. He wants to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. It would be a great move. Any movement to get Jerusalem back to Israel is going to be met with much resistance in the spiritual realm. The spiritual warfare is going to increase dramatically in our country.
Christians must pray for our government everyday. Christians must get their lives back to a place where God will hear their prayers. Do not be comfortable with sins. Confess your sins with the intent of ceasing from them. That is true repentance. No need to ask forgiveness if you plan on continuing in your sin. God wants to sanctify your body just as much as your soul and spirit. (1Thess. 5:23) "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
