It Doesn't Matter What Man Says

We are going to do things a bit different today.

Hey folks,

I was planning on talking about Walking Worthy. I was going to tell you the Story of Stephen, and the Story of Saul. But God is leading me in a bit of a different direction today. Oh we will talk about these things as I have been led by the Spirit, but some are wondering why I haven't commented on this or that. The current events, of recent, here in America. One, I will respond to directly here. That one, is Glenn Beck.

Now for some of you who may not know who Glenn Beck is, he is a Radio and TV guy. A Mormon, and a man of deep faith. He is hated by the Left in this country, and is angry with the way America is going. He is also angry at me. He says "Shame on you. As a Christian, as a Man of God, shame on you for not telling people that they need to stand and fight for this country." I want to respond directly to him for a second.

Glenn, I have done that. I warned everyone for years what is coming. I hear you saying the same things I said, long before anyone else was saying them. I warned what was coming. I warned that America itself was at stake. You can see this on the old Blogs OPNTALK, and OPNTALK 2. But God lead me in a different direction. Why? Because you can not ever change a person's circumstance, until you change their heart. That, and the truth is, God doesn't care if America fails.

You see Glenn, the Truth is, God did not appear to Noah and say change the World. He said build an Ark to save yourself and the Elect. God did not appear to Moses and say change Egypt. He said "Bring my people out." Jesus did not tell His Disciples, go into the Cities around the world and change them to fit My view. He said "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believe not shall be damned." {Mark 16:15-16} If they chose not to receive them? If they chose not to receive the Truth? "Whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."

It does not matter what man says. It only matters what God says.

Man says, "There is no God." Yet, Man cannot answer the simplest of all questions. If not, then where did the first something come from? It is Mathematically and Scientifically impossible to get something from nothing. SO? God says, "I AM." The Word delcares, " in the beginning, God." It doesn't matter that Man says there is no God. God is real, if people chose to accept Him or not.

Man says, "Jesus is not God, nor anything but a Rabbi. You can get to Heaven any way you see as truth." The Word says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." {John 1:1-14}

Jesus said "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."{John 10:9-11} "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." {John 14:6-7}

May says, "There is no Devil, no hell, no Sin. Do as you will." The Word declares that there really is a Devil.  He is the fairest of all the Angels. His name is Lucifer. He fell from Heaven when he attempted to dethrone God Himself. {Isaiah 14} He became the Lord of this world through the same Sin committed by Adam. He is the reason we are in need of salvation to begin with. God made the choice simple, "Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:  And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known." {Deuteronomy 11:26-28}

Jesus said "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." {John 3:16-18}

Man says "It's OK to slaughter your unborn child. We will call it a choice. A Woman's Right. After all, it is her body." God says, "Thou Shalt not commit murder." {Exodus 20:13} "If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." Yes, this is talking about Abortion. {Exodus 21:22-25}

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" {1 Corinthians 6:19} "The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife." {1 Corinthians 7:4}

Man says, and the Supreme Court just Ruled, "It's OK to be Gay. Gays should have the 'Right' to Marry and receive benefits for doing such." God says? "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." {Leviticus 18:22} "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done." {Ezekiel 16:49-51} Substitute America, for Samaria here.

By the Supreme Court Ruling the way they did, they not only condoned Homosexuality, but rather justified it. They said it's now OK. And they also said, anyone who speaks out against it, is committing Sin. We have made Sin, Good, and Good, Sin. The Word declares,

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." {Romans 1:18-32}

This is America Today. I have talked about the forgotten Laws of God, The Ten Commandments. I've talked about America Today. I've asked is America's Destruction Inevitable? However, the Holy Spirit reminded me of this very simple fact. There are far worse things coming to the World than America's fall.

"Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." {Matthew 24:3-13} "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things." {Mark 13:23}

Will America fall? She will fall by her own hand. Are we Condemned? We Condemn ourselves by our own actions. Is there World War Three coming? I believe so. But? Jesus says "be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass."

God does not care what man says. God cares about your one on one relationship with Him. He cares about His Disciples becoming Fishers of Men. Sowers of the Seed. He cares about changing Hearts and Minds through HIS Word and His Ways. As a Child of God, it is YOUR duty to follow God. Do as He says. Not what Man says.

Am I saying that I would not boldly walk into the White House, look the President in the eye, and say "Let my people go?" Of course I would. If that is what God told me to do. But you see Glenn, God has shown me that unless you change the hearts and minds of the people, they will willfully fall by their own hands.

Despite all the warnings before the first election, and despite all the evidence leading up to the second Election, people CHOSE, with great applauding and cheer, to Elect a King wannabe to rule over them. Is the Country spying on it's own Citizens? Yup. Is the Country stripping away our Rights? Yup. The whole reason we are even here as a nation is Freedom. Freedom of Religion is number one. Is this Country removing God and replacing Him with Evil? Yup. Is there any wonder that we will fall? Nope. We get what we get, because we allowed it to happen. It really is this simple.

So I would rather be a Teller of Truth, a Shower of The Way, and a Sower of The Seed. I'd rather see an individual receive the Gift of Salvation, then fight a losing cause. Perhaps if enough people's hearts are changed, we may actually stand a chance. Without that, we do not. Without The Truth, we have nothing.

Peace to you, and be Blessed. I already know you are a Blessing to many. May God be with you, always.
Peter
