The Election Count – Part 7
Judges 15:4-5 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. 5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
Foxes destroy fields and vineyards!
Jesus had a big problem with spiritual foxes destroying and setting on fire the spiritual fields that should bear spiritual good fruit. But He did not strive to save the carnal fields!
Matthew 12:19-20 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Jesus didn’t hold political rallies. Jesus didn’t activate and radicalize people to fight for justice.
Jesus didn’t even teach in the streets. Jesus taught in the mountains, and in the deserts, and in private houses, and in synagogues, and in the temple! He didn’t teach in the streets.
He did not strive to be heard, he did not strive to capture men’s attention and bring them to his sermons. They sought Him. “No man can come to me except the Father draw him.”
Jesus’ work was never political. Jesus was not here to fix anyone’s life on earth. He did not prosper anyone, or create jobs or opportunities. He didn’t improve crop yields and ensure everyone had food to eat. He didn’t run a soup kitchen for the hungry or a shelter for the homeless. He didn’t race to put out fires, or give bail out money those that lost their incomes during famine or pandemic.
He did not “teach a man to fish”, except those that he taught to be fishers of men. Spiritual fishers!
Jesus did not try to fix the government, or try to create fairness, or equal opportunities, or more diverse distribution of wealth. Jesus did not get involved in politics. Nor did His disciples and apostles.
Jesus was never about the world’s business. He didn’t right wrongs. He didn’t fight for “social justice”! He didn’t fight for what was just and right and fair and equal for everybody.
Luke 12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
This man’s brother was stealing from him, defrauding his brother. Injustice!!! Oppression!
Its not fair Jesus, help!!!
Luke 12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
And Jesus offered no help. His only answer was, beware of covetousness! This is not the stuff, and this is not the life that you should choose.
Jesus COULD HAVE judged rightly. Jesus IS a righteous judge. One day the Father will give all judgment into His hand. Jesus is THE righteous judge. And one day we will judge with Him – judge angels. But who has made us judges or dividers or legislators here? Because Scripture hasn’t!
Show me where in the Bible it says we should write, change, enforce, or defend the laws of man? The only governments we make, the only judging we ought to do, is WITHIN THE CHURCH.
And America is not our church. We don’t get involved in the affairs of this world.
While Jesus was on the Earth, He was about His Father’s business: Preaching the gospel. Teaching doctrine. Spiritually working righteousness. Healing the sick, Raising the Dead, Preaching the kingdom of God. You say, “but He did heal the sick, and feed the poor!”
True. But He only feed the hungry twice, and as a sign to His disciples. And those that ate, He warned them, labour not for the meat that perisheth! Don’t work to be filled in this world.
The Lord doesn’t need your political help to set up the rulers that He has chosen. And if you’ve chosen to strive for a candidate that He has not, you’ll be found to fight against God, and your work will come to nought. Everything you fought for and fretted over, will all be lost. You’ll receive no reward.. just a waste of time!
Take heed to yourselves. Are you sure your work is the Lord’s work? Or is it perhaps the work of men? Be careful who and what you are fighting for.
If you’re getting active and politicizing, you’re fighting for this world, you’re sowing to the flesh, and all your works will come to nought.
There is no Bible justification for Christians to be active politically! So don’t be a political activist!
The fight
2 Timothy 2:3-5 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
We are chosen, elected to be soldiers… but this is not our fight.
A soldier does not waste his time and energy on the affairs and things of this world.
“The battle for the soul of our nation”… this fight, is not our fight. Our battle is for the souls of mankind. And our fight is not against our nation, nor for our nation, nor against mankind at all. Our battle is against Satan, and it is for the family of God, the elect of mankind.
Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Our battle is FOR the elect souls of mankind. Our battle is against spiritual wickedness. Our battle is not against political corruption, or socialism, or the destruction of our bill of rights.
We wrestle against Spiritual wickedness. … Hey IDIOTS! It’s spiritual wickedness that we fight against!
And its ONLY spiritual wickedness! Stop the Steal Rally.
It’s spiritual wickedness. Its not carnal wickedness. Its not political wickedness! Its not democratic wickedness! Its not republican wickedness! It’s ONLY spiritual wickedness!
It’s not globalism or communism that we are fighting .. its not the power of Donald Trump, Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi.. Neither of Russia, or China, or any other worldly power… its ONLY of Satan! Its evil angels. Its devils. It’s the spiritual rulers of this world. Its those that rule the darkness. Its those that imprison and blind mankind in darkness! Without the light of the gospel.
Is Satan behind some of this globalism push? Possibly. Is Satan’s agenda aligned with globalism? Yes. The whole world will worship the beast and take his mark/number/name. The beast will assert his rule over the whole earth and no one will be able to buy or sell without submitting to his government. But guess what? … The Lord will require submission from the whole world when He sets up His kingdom too!! (No rain, rod of iron!) So is globalism itself wicked? No. Its just wicked when sinners do it.
In the early church, they sold their possessions and had all things COMMON. So is communism itself wicked? No. It just wicked when sinners do it.
We aren’t to fight against globalism, or a one-world order, or communism, or any other worldly evil. We fight against spiritual evil. And ONLY against spiritual evil.
The issue is not communism, socialism, a one-world order, the removal of free trade, or unfair regulations on businesses, or racism, or class-systems. Its not many you can’t get a good job or get ahead. Its not that you can’t feed your family! It’s not that there is injustice and oppression against the poor. Its not that there are double standards for the rich and powerful.
The issue is that people are hungry, and thirsty, and wounded, and tired, and naked, and blind, and oppressed and imprisoned, SPIRITUALLY.
It is a Spiritual Battle, against spiritual wickedness. We fight against spiritual powers: Satan and his powers: princes, angels, devils, spirits. We don’t fight against flesh and blood!
How is one supposed to fight? With what? And against what?
Not against those rulers and powers of this world, but against spiritual rulers and powers, right?
So what with???? With words? With lawsuits? With politics and rallies and media appearances? With tweets on Twitter? With protests and marches? With sword and spear and rifle? With missiles and fighter jets?
Will any of this combat a spiritual enemy? Will any of this thwart Satan’s will? Will any of this save one single soul?!?!
1 Corinthians 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
When you take physical action and physical violence to fight a spiritual enemy … You’re like one that beateth the air! Shadow boxing!!! Why are you fighting against spirit with flesh???? How are you going to jack his jaw with flesh? He laugheth at the shaking of a spear! You might as well fight a gust of wind with your hands!
We don’t run uncertainly – carnally, according to the flesh, trusting the flesh. We are not to “trust in uncertain riches”, but to trust in The Lord God who gives us eternal riches. If you run with the flesh, it is uncertain. You can’t trust worldly things. And you can’t run the race or fight the fight with fleshly, or with carnal things.
Why are you trying to serve God with politics! Why are you trying to fight against Satan with men’s powers? Rally men, organize men, stand up men to fight! Lawyer men to fight in court! Warrior men to fight in the streets! Men?!?! Why are we using carnal men to fight against Satan? You’re beating at the air with your fists! You’re fighting the wind with your spears, etc. Laughable!
And what men are we using to stand up and fight? Any that will stand with us against socialism, oppression, and tyranny??? Who are our allies? Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Politicians, Rich men, Lawyers, Government Officials, any men that are against globalism?
These are our enemies, not our allies!
God’s army is made of His elect, His saints!
You don’t use your fists (your flesh) to fight Satan. You use a sword! And not a carnal sword that can be wielded by man’s hands… but a spiritual sword. Which is the word of God, and the Word of God: Jesus Christ. Use that sword to fight. Give somebody Jesus. Cut their souls and hearts with the sword.
Cut them. Peirce them!
If they are obedient to the word, they will humble themselves, and call out to Him to be healed: die and be born again.
Psalms 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
If they are disobedient, they will harden themselves, in vain using many medicines to heal themselves.
Jeremiah 46:11 … in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
This is the only way to fight against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Preach and teach the word of God. Win Souls! Stick a sword into the soul of the enemies, that they may die and be freed. That they may become your allies!
Maybe you think that sounds brutal and wicked, not Godly. Going up to people and trying to stick a sword in their heart. Its much like “kicking/shaking the tree”. Why are you shaking people!?! Why are you going around shaking and kicking people?!? Because that’s how you wake them up!
Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
They’re already wounded and dying… We’re just showing them their wounds. Showing them their mortality. Showing them what is in their heart. Blood, evil, sin, false doctrine.
Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Don’t fight Satan with men’s hands… with men. Fight him with the word of God, piercing the hearts of his prisoners, that they might repent and be saved.
You say, “But that sounds so cruel.. so unchristian! So unfriendly!”
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Ephesians 6:11-18 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
You fight against Satan’s powers with spiritual armour and spiritual weapons.
You don’t educate yourself with history. You don’t get involved in your local community. You don’t become a poll worker. You don’t train to fight as a lawyer in America’s courts. You don’t put on politics. You don’t put on activism.
You put on truth, faith, salvation, righteousness, and the gospel of peace. You fight with the word of God. How? Praying and watching. Watch and pray. Pray, and watch – be a watchman! Pray and search the Scriptures. Then take the word of the Lord at His mouth and give them warning from Him.
This is the spiritual fight, against spiritual wickedness. We wrestle NOT against flesh and blood.
This election… This “battle for the soul of our nation”… is not our problem to solve. This is not our cause to join. This is not our fight to fight. This is someone else’s fight.
This is someone else’s fight! Its not yours!! Why would anyone fight someone else’s fight? … Profit. Money. A gain. Otherwise, why would we? We’ll just get ourselves hurt or killed for no reason!
So don’t meddle with it!
Proverbs 26:17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Try that with a rottweiler, a pitbull. What do you think would happen to your hand? They will tear you!
Don’t mess with someone else’s fight! Don’t get involved in this world’s fight!
–
And that is what these activists all are: Riled up, angry dogs.
Isaiah 56:10-12 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
You say, “well that’s talking about false prophets”… Exactly! They’re the same people! This is what false prophets do! They’ve closed their eyes, being blind to the real danger, refusing to warn the sheep! The real danger is not racism, or white privilege, or communism, or illegal aliens, or gang violence, or social or educational inequality, or abortion, or lack of universal healthcare, or anything else that men strive against. The real danger is the Lord’s wrath and vengeance; His sword coming to destroy.
If I had a dog, I’d want him to wake up and bark at the thief entering my home. I don’t need him barking at the mailman. Or at the other neighborhood dogs. I certainly don’t need him sleeping. I need to see, smell, and hear the danger coming.
Ezekiel 33:2-4 … When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 … But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.… 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
The real danger is the sword that is coming. The word of the Lord proceeding out of his mouth, coming on the earth, to slay his enemies.
The real danger is that men are in the snare of Satan, being held captive in Satan’s prison. All the while the sword is coming. The day is approaching. The enemy is drawing near. Men are on the wrong team, and sleeping!
Wake up! Save yourselves! Flee the city! … But the dogs don’t bark! They do nothing but feed themselves.
This candidate for Georgia Senator is a pastor of a “Baptist” Church in Atlanta! “Reverend” Warnock.
He is no Real Christian. He’s a reprobate. He’s no true man. He’s a spy. He’s a dumb dog. A greedy dog!
Even so, let’s assume for a second that he was a Real Christian… He is a pastor! He has a flock under his watch. He has a ministry given him from God. He is a steward set over the house to minister food to the house of God!
What the mess is he doing leaving his flock?
What the mess is he doing leaving the word of God to run for Congress?
He’s going to leave the word of God, and minister to carnal needs – serve tables???
Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
He’s really going to leave the word of God and serve tables???
He’s going to leave the word of God and serve in Congress???
How could you!? How could I?!?
Should I leave my good fruit to reign over the trees???
Judges 9:8-13 The trees [evil trees with no fruit] went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. 11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? 12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. 13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
You’re going to leave the word of God and serve mankind?????? You’re going to leave the blood of Jesus Christ and go to be promoted over the trees, that have no new wine, no living water?? You’re going to leave the good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees, that are without fruit? You’re going to leave the fatness, the oiled bread of God, and go to be promoted over the trees which have no oil, which have no fatness??
Can you imagine? Can you imagine a wise preacher doing that? Can you imaging an Apostle doing that?

Judges 15:4-5 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. 5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
Foxes destroy fields and vineyards!
Jesus had a big problem with spiritual foxes destroying and setting on fire the spiritual fields that should bear spiritual good fruit. But He did not strive to save the carnal fields!
Matthew 12:19-20 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Jesus didn’t hold political rallies. Jesus didn’t activate and radicalize people to fight for justice.
Jesus didn’t even teach in the streets. Jesus taught in the mountains, and in the deserts, and in private houses, and in synagogues, and in the temple! He didn’t teach in the streets.
He did not strive to be heard, he did not strive to capture men’s attention and bring them to his sermons. They sought Him. “No man can come to me except the Father draw him.”
Jesus’ work was never political. Jesus was not here to fix anyone’s life on earth. He did not prosper anyone, or create jobs or opportunities. He didn’t improve crop yields and ensure everyone had food to eat. He didn’t run a soup kitchen for the hungry or a shelter for the homeless. He didn’t race to put out fires, or give bail out money those that lost their incomes during famine or pandemic.
He did not “teach a man to fish”, except those that he taught to be fishers of men. Spiritual fishers!
Jesus did not try to fix the government, or try to create fairness, or equal opportunities, or more diverse distribution of wealth. Jesus did not get involved in politics. Nor did His disciples and apostles.
Jesus was never about the world’s business. He didn’t right wrongs. He didn’t fight for “social justice”! He didn’t fight for what was just and right and fair and equal for everybody.
Luke 12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
This man’s brother was stealing from him, defrauding his brother. Injustice!!! Oppression!
Its not fair Jesus, help!!!
Luke 12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
And Jesus offered no help. His only answer was, beware of covetousness! This is not the stuff, and this is not the life that you should choose.
Jesus COULD HAVE judged rightly. Jesus IS a righteous judge. One day the Father will give all judgment into His hand. Jesus is THE righteous judge. And one day we will judge with Him – judge angels. But who has made us judges or dividers or legislators here? Because Scripture hasn’t!
Show me where in the Bible it says we should write, change, enforce, or defend the laws of man? The only governments we make, the only judging we ought to do, is WITHIN THE CHURCH.
And America is not our church. We don’t get involved in the affairs of this world.
While Jesus was on the Earth, He was about His Father’s business: Preaching the gospel. Teaching doctrine. Spiritually working righteousness. Healing the sick, Raising the Dead, Preaching the kingdom of God. You say, “but He did heal the sick, and feed the poor!”
True. But He only feed the hungry twice, and as a sign to His disciples. And those that ate, He warned them, labour not for the meat that perisheth! Don’t work to be filled in this world.
The Lord doesn’t need your political help to set up the rulers that He has chosen. And if you’ve chosen to strive for a candidate that He has not, you’ll be found to fight against God, and your work will come to nought. Everything you fought for and fretted over, will all be lost. You’ll receive no reward.. just a waste of time!
Take heed to yourselves. Are you sure your work is the Lord’s work? Or is it perhaps the work of men? Be careful who and what you are fighting for.
If you’re getting active and politicizing, you’re fighting for this world, you’re sowing to the flesh, and all your works will come to nought.
There is no Bible justification for Christians to be active politically! So don’t be a political activist!
The fight
2 Timothy 2:3-5 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
We are chosen, elected to be soldiers… but this is not our fight.
A soldier does not waste his time and energy on the affairs and things of this world.
“The battle for the soul of our nation”… this fight, is not our fight. Our battle is for the souls of mankind. And our fight is not against our nation, nor for our nation, nor against mankind at all. Our battle is against Satan, and it is for the family of God, the elect of mankind.
Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Our battle is FOR the elect souls of mankind. Our battle is against spiritual wickedness. Our battle is not against political corruption, or socialism, or the destruction of our bill of rights.
We wrestle against Spiritual wickedness. … Hey IDIOTS! It’s spiritual wickedness that we fight against!
And its ONLY spiritual wickedness! Stop the Steal Rally.
It’s spiritual wickedness. Its not carnal wickedness. Its not political wickedness! Its not democratic wickedness! Its not republican wickedness! It’s ONLY spiritual wickedness!
It’s not globalism or communism that we are fighting .. its not the power of Donald Trump, Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi.. Neither of Russia, or China, or any other worldly power… its ONLY of Satan! Its evil angels. Its devils. It’s the spiritual rulers of this world. Its those that rule the darkness. Its those that imprison and blind mankind in darkness! Without the light of the gospel.
Is Satan behind some of this globalism push? Possibly. Is Satan’s agenda aligned with globalism? Yes. The whole world will worship the beast and take his mark/number/name. The beast will assert his rule over the whole earth and no one will be able to buy or sell without submitting to his government. But guess what? … The Lord will require submission from the whole world when He sets up His kingdom too!! (No rain, rod of iron!) So is globalism itself wicked? No. Its just wicked when sinners do it.
In the early church, they sold their possessions and had all things COMMON. So is communism itself wicked? No. It just wicked when sinners do it.
We aren’t to fight against globalism, or a one-world order, or communism, or any other worldly evil. We fight against spiritual evil. And ONLY against spiritual evil.
The issue is not communism, socialism, a one-world order, the removal of free trade, or unfair regulations on businesses, or racism, or class-systems. Its not many you can’t get a good job or get ahead. Its not that you can’t feed your family! It’s not that there is injustice and oppression against the poor. Its not that there are double standards for the rich and powerful.
The issue is that people are hungry, and thirsty, and wounded, and tired, and naked, and blind, and oppressed and imprisoned, SPIRITUALLY.
It is a Spiritual Battle, against spiritual wickedness. We fight against spiritual powers: Satan and his powers: princes, angels, devils, spirits. We don’t fight against flesh and blood!
How is one supposed to fight? With what? And against what?
Not against those rulers and powers of this world, but against spiritual rulers and powers, right?
So what with???? With words? With lawsuits? With politics and rallies and media appearances? With tweets on Twitter? With protests and marches? With sword and spear and rifle? With missiles and fighter jets?
Will any of this combat a spiritual enemy? Will any of this thwart Satan’s will? Will any of this save one single soul?!?!
1 Corinthians 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
When you take physical action and physical violence to fight a spiritual enemy … You’re like one that beateth the air! Shadow boxing!!! Why are you fighting against spirit with flesh???? How are you going to jack his jaw with flesh? He laugheth at the shaking of a spear! You might as well fight a gust of wind with your hands!
We don’t run uncertainly – carnally, according to the flesh, trusting the flesh. We are not to “trust in uncertain riches”, but to trust in The Lord God who gives us eternal riches. If you run with the flesh, it is uncertain. You can’t trust worldly things. And you can’t run the race or fight the fight with fleshly, or with carnal things.
Why are you trying to serve God with politics! Why are you trying to fight against Satan with men’s powers? Rally men, organize men, stand up men to fight! Lawyer men to fight in court! Warrior men to fight in the streets! Men?!?! Why are we using carnal men to fight against Satan? You’re beating at the air with your fists! You’re fighting the wind with your spears, etc. Laughable!
And what men are we using to stand up and fight? Any that will stand with us against socialism, oppression, and tyranny??? Who are our allies? Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Politicians, Rich men, Lawyers, Government Officials, any men that are against globalism?
These are our enemies, not our allies!
God’s army is made of His elect, His saints!
You don’t use your fists (your flesh) to fight Satan. You use a sword! And not a carnal sword that can be wielded by man’s hands… but a spiritual sword. Which is the word of God, and the Word of God: Jesus Christ. Use that sword to fight. Give somebody Jesus. Cut their souls and hearts with the sword.
Cut them. Peirce them!
If they are obedient to the word, they will humble themselves, and call out to Him to be healed: die and be born again.
Psalms 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
If they are disobedient, they will harden themselves, in vain using many medicines to heal themselves.
Jeremiah 46:11 … in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
This is the only way to fight against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Preach and teach the word of God. Win Souls! Stick a sword into the soul of the enemies, that they may die and be freed. That they may become your allies!
Maybe you think that sounds brutal and wicked, not Godly. Going up to people and trying to stick a sword in their heart. Its much like “kicking/shaking the tree”. Why are you shaking people!?! Why are you going around shaking and kicking people?!? Because that’s how you wake them up!
Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
They’re already wounded and dying… We’re just showing them their wounds. Showing them their mortality. Showing them what is in their heart. Blood, evil, sin, false doctrine.
Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Don’t fight Satan with men’s hands… with men. Fight him with the word of God, piercing the hearts of his prisoners, that they might repent and be saved.
You say, “But that sounds so cruel.. so unchristian! So unfriendly!”
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Ephesians 6:11-18 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
You fight against Satan’s powers with spiritual armour and spiritual weapons.
You don’t educate yourself with history. You don’t get involved in your local community. You don’t become a poll worker. You don’t train to fight as a lawyer in America’s courts. You don’t put on politics. You don’t put on activism.
You put on truth, faith, salvation, righteousness, and the gospel of peace. You fight with the word of God. How? Praying and watching. Watch and pray. Pray, and watch – be a watchman! Pray and search the Scriptures. Then take the word of the Lord at His mouth and give them warning from Him.
This is the spiritual fight, against spiritual wickedness. We wrestle NOT against flesh and blood.
This election… This “battle for the soul of our nation”… is not our problem to solve. This is not our cause to join. This is not our fight to fight. This is someone else’s fight.
This is someone else’s fight! Its not yours!! Why would anyone fight someone else’s fight? … Profit. Money. A gain. Otherwise, why would we? We’ll just get ourselves hurt or killed for no reason!
So don’t meddle with it!
Proverbs 26:17 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Try that with a rottweiler, a pitbull. What do you think would happen to your hand? They will tear you!
Don’t mess with someone else’s fight! Don’t get involved in this world’s fight!

And that is what these activists all are: Riled up, angry dogs.
Isaiah 56:10-12 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
You say, “well that’s talking about false prophets”… Exactly! They’re the same people! This is what false prophets do! They’ve closed their eyes, being blind to the real danger, refusing to warn the sheep! The real danger is not racism, or white privilege, or communism, or illegal aliens, or gang violence, or social or educational inequality, or abortion, or lack of universal healthcare, or anything else that men strive against. The real danger is the Lord’s wrath and vengeance; His sword coming to destroy.
If I had a dog, I’d want him to wake up and bark at the thief entering my home. I don’t need him barking at the mailman. Or at the other neighborhood dogs. I certainly don’t need him sleeping. I need to see, smell, and hear the danger coming.
Ezekiel 33:2-4 … When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 … But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.… 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
The real danger is the sword that is coming. The word of the Lord proceeding out of his mouth, coming on the earth, to slay his enemies.
The real danger is that men are in the snare of Satan, being held captive in Satan’s prison. All the while the sword is coming. The day is approaching. The enemy is drawing near. Men are on the wrong team, and sleeping!
Wake up! Save yourselves! Flee the city! … But the dogs don’t bark! They do nothing but feed themselves.
This candidate for Georgia Senator is a pastor of a “Baptist” Church in Atlanta! “Reverend” Warnock.
He is no Real Christian. He’s a reprobate. He’s no true man. He’s a spy. He’s a dumb dog. A greedy dog!
Even so, let’s assume for a second that he was a Real Christian… He is a pastor! He has a flock under his watch. He has a ministry given him from God. He is a steward set over the house to minister food to the house of God!
What the mess is he doing leaving his flock?
What the mess is he doing leaving the word of God to run for Congress?
He’s going to leave the word of God, and minister to carnal needs – serve tables???
Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
He’s really going to leave the word of God and serve tables???
He’s going to leave the word of God and serve in Congress???
How could you!? How could I?!?
Should I leave my good fruit to reign over the trees???
Judges 9:8-13 The trees [evil trees with no fruit] went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. 11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? 12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. 13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
You’re going to leave the word of God and serve mankind?????? You’re going to leave the blood of Jesus Christ and go to be promoted over the trees, that have no new wine, no living water?? You’re going to leave the good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees, that are without fruit? You’re going to leave the fatness, the oiled bread of God, and go to be promoted over the trees which have no oil, which have no fatness??
Can you imagine? Can you imagine a wise preacher doing that? Can you imaging an Apostle doing that?
