What meaningful conclusion should you expect other than that I am trusting in God? Am I leaning on Him? Am I humbling myself before Him? Am I listening to His voice and obeying Him? Would you really rather that I obey and follow you or any other man hoping and expecting me to jump on his bandwagon to accomplish his purpose? What about my purpose, the one for which God called me?
Do you want me to say that you are right and that I am wrong just to ease or eliminate your disappointment?
What direction is God leading me? Does it, or should it, or must it coincide precisely with yours?
I certainly see the evil within America and the world. However, I know that my pathway which God has put before me is not yours. I will not set aside the work that God has for me to do in favor of the 'save the nation' crusade you apparently believe is yours. Perhaps for you it is. Don't try to put that on me. I have always loved this country. It was very hard to understand why people would run to Canada to avoid military service when I was going to Viet Nam with so many others. I was there early for the war, but still I lost two friends there whose faces are etched forever in my brain. I have loved and love this country, but first things must be first.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33
In its best day, the USA was Not the kingdom Nor the righteousness of God. Certainly it has been involved as so
many Americans have been and are involved in the things of God, but don't presume that America is the kingdom of God or equal to it!
The children of Israel died in the wilderness with two exceptions. The ten northern tribes of Israel were carried away as their nation fell. The southern nation of Judah fell and Jerusalem also fell. Are the people of America today more 'the people of God' than those children of Jacob God led out of Egypt? Did the Israelites who died during 40 years in the desert due to rebellion against God rebel more strongly against Him than perhaps the majority of Americans today rebel against God? Those people had only the anointed Moses to trust. We, each one of us, have, or could have, the anointing of God in ourselves in the Holy Spirit to trust. The 600,000 died because they were not worthy and they rebelled repeatedly. Are we, we Americans more worthy? Have we really done a better job since God has really given us the possibility of more with the Holy Ghost within us?
Should we gather ourselves together with some of these lesser devils and fight shedding if necessary the blood of those worse [in your opinion] devils on the other side? God did not draw a line between the two groups of devils. Men have done that and are continuing to do it. Are there any that are not devils or are without a devilish spirit on either side of that line? You or me or that other guy? Who is so much in the know as to judge that rightly? Were there any faithful Christian people in Germany during the time Hitler was coming to power? Is the USA better than Germany? Are the American people better than the German people?
Everyone get aboard this train heading toward God [Really?] even though we are to effectively align ourselves with devils to accomplish it and we are to follow men rather than Jesus toward what? Not toward any Light of God that I can see not looking toward the front of that train.
If America has a good future it is through God, but not very much of what I see looks very much like Jesus. My vision is undoubtedly at times dim or blurred or darkened, but should I believe that yours [your vision] is always better and follow you?
Is it not the face of Jesus we are to seek? Is it not Jesus we are to become like? In what man do we see His face?
So have you received a revelation from God that the salvation of men is bound up in the salvation of the nation called the United States of America? The USA is already a godless and immoral nation. Is your plan going to change that by supporting the lesser of two evils? Since every man is a liar, which one should I believe is to do the most good and the least harm?
"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged" Rom 3:4
I am concerned about the individuals [not only Americans, but whosoever will of those that God calls] especially those for whom I may be used as an instrument of God to help them move closer to God. Only God gives the increase, but He does use people either as His right hand or as His left hand. Are you sure you are working as or in the Right Hand of God and that me or anyone else not on your train must necessarily be must be Left hand workers?
God saves people! If God wanted to use a national government to save people, He certainly could, but I do not see our national government in that plan. His Plan, now. I do not see your plan as being His Plan. Will you convince me by the arguments of men, by your own logic that your plan is God's plan?
If only the few, the Joshuas, Calebs, Noahs and Daniels are to be saved, should we not then work with our might... as God leads us, to help Him to help them? Should I design my own plan or take hold of some other man's plan and strive to implement it? Is God's Way, God's plan, flawed?
Do I look like I am hiding? I am following the Lord everyday doing the best that I can sometimes stumbling and falling down. but with God's help I keep on lifting up my eyes toward Jesus one more time. You don't see my work as perhaps I cannot see yours, but then neither one of us is the Head. Does He reveal everything to every member of his Body about every other member of the Body?
How many good German Christians fought for the Jews, blacks, Gypsies and Jehovah's Witnesses in the German homeland when the 'Nazi thugs' went after them? We may read about members of those groups being attacked and killed, but how many not in those groups, like a Shindler, actually risked themselves to prevent or minimize the holocaust? Remember that this supposedly very Christian nation at the time was among those refusing to give sanctuary to people fleeing the merciless persecution of the German Reich!
