The Powers That Be

Lately I've been doing some research on a subject that I think is greatly misunderstood. As a Christian man I always try to conduct my life in a manner pleasing to God. Unfortunately, doing so subjects a person to various forms of deception out there in the world. A great way to silence a man dedicated to living a certain lifestyle is to convince him that his way of life FORCES him to blindly follow certain doctrines without question. This is called deception. Now, having spent some time in the Christian lifestyle and always endeavoring to do what is right in Gods eyes, I've spent alot of time studying His word and specifically asking Him WHY on various subjects in life that are dear to me. I've spent alot of time with lots of different doctrines of man and denominations of man in this country and even in another country. The Bible says, "Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." So if He tells us to understand what His will is, than I believe it is a very doable thing. We need to study and find out what it is. I once had a disagreement with a minister whom I was "under". He then said I wasn't submitted to him. I then asked him if disagreeing with him makes me unsubmitted. In a roundabout way he said yes. At that point I decided that I would not subject myself to his "rule" much longer. Yes, I've been accused a number of times of being "rebellious" but that's ok, I don't mind. I've studied rebellion to my satisfaction too. So on to my subject for today............

When is it ok to be disobedient? The Bible says that wives are to submit to husbands. So is this an always, no questions asked obedience? The Bible says that we are to submit to the Governing authorities. Is this an always, no questions asked obedience? The Bible says to submit to our elders in the church. Is this also an always, no questions asked obedience? Not according to Gods word. If this were the case, He contradicted himself many times. In the book of Exodus, Moses was very disobedient to the Egyptian government, even to the point of the Israelites plundering their masters when they left. When Pharaoh gave the command to kill all of the male newborns of the Hebrews, the midwives disobeyed and lied to Pharaoh. For this, God rewarded the midwives. When David was being pursued by Saul, he certainly wasn't being obedient and in fact called Saul a bloodthirsty, evildoer, and a wicked traitor (Psalm 59). Another example of Davids disobedience includes when he and his men ate the show bread and Jesus later endorsed it(Matt. 12:4). In 1 Sam. 25 we have an example of wife disobedience (and God blessing it) when Abigail the wife of Nabal was disobedient to her husband and even called him a fool (which his name means) when he insulted David and his men. The best example of all of disobedience is Jesus himself. He was very disobedient to the Israel leaders and even insulted Herod himself by calling him a fox which the amplified Bible says means sly, crafty, skulking, and cowardly.


".....Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule from day one."

It is currently illegal in England to defend yourself against aggressive attack. Is this something you should be obedient to if you live there? Your husband tells you that you must drive him to his meeting spot with a known drug dealer. Do you do it? Your pastor tells you that you cannot teach at the Bible study the church next door is having. Must you obey? There has been a natural disaster in your area and people are looting all the houses, raping the lone women, killing all resistors, and the governing officials decide that they are going to confiscate all weapons to make the area "safer" and to "reduce" crime (this happened after Katrina). Do you obey and turn your weapons in? Your husband takes your check from work that you were going to buy groceries for you kids with and uses it to support his gambling habit. Do you submit? Your pastor starts to become very nosey in your private life telling you what you can or can't buy, who you can or can't see, what you can or can't do. Must you put up with this?

If you truly study Gods word, you will find that he is for human rights and liberties and the needs of man always come before rules of man. Wives, your job is a helpmate to your husband, not a slave. Your job is to protect your kids at all costs, even nature teaches us that. Husbands jobs are to lead, protect, and nurture their wife and kids at all costs. If your not willing to give your life for them, your not doing your job. A governments job is to lead, protect, and nurture the public in their jurisdiction, not rule and reign as slave masters. A ministers job is the same. The very name minister means servant. When a governing authority goes against their job description and does or endorses things against Gods word, that governing authority loses its mandate from God. It is our job as the people to see that this doesn't happen and to use all possible means to stop it. Obviously, this first of all means doing all you can legislatively and financially, but it also means you are justified if it comes to other more "rebellious" ways. Whether this just means public outcry or more direct civil disobedient ways if needed. But most importantly, PRAY as the word of God says in 1 Tim. 2:1-3. I know people don't like to think this way and will brand you with all sorts of nasties if you talk about it, but as history shows, sometimes it is needed, although to be avoided if at all possible. Most people will agree that this country was established by God and the miraculous things that happened prove this out, but few really know much about the circumstances that brought about this country into being. Rest assured, if those same people that brand you as "rebels" today were alive back then, they would have not have been willing to side with the "rebels" back then either. They sure enjoy the fruits of it today though. To be blunt, freedom isn't free.

Our president elect has appointed some very blatant anti-freedom people to his staff and certainly we must expose them. John Podesta is Obamas transition chief. He has headed the Center for American Progress (CAP) for the last 4 years which was created and bankrolled by billionaire globalist George Soros. Among their main missions has been to collectivize commercial radio by cancelling broadcast licenses and redistributing them to "progressive" local interests. This in effect can kill Christian broadcasts, conservative broadcasts, and other broadcasts that don't endorse their agenda. Is this communist or what? Podesta is quoted in an Associated Press article as saying, "There's a lot that the President can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action....". Perhaps the scariest statement to come from the Obamanable staff is from Valerie Jarrett, co-chair of the Obama transition team: ".....Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule from day one." Rule? If memory serves me correct, the last person to rule Americans was King George III.
