Waiting For a True Leader To Emerge
We have all been told at least once in our lives that History repeats itself, and indeed it does. Take a look at the times we find ourselves in today. I am not talking about the obvious fall of Empire or the failure of manmade currency. The History I am talking about s the story of Christ and our continued rejection of Him and the gift that he gave to all who would accept Him and turn away from the world system in favor of true freedom. In Romans we read
” For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.”
Paul is of course speaking to Christians and reminding them that God brought them out of bondage, out of Egypt and into freedom. Their ancestors had over time rejected that freedom in favor of a King. Paul is reminding them that the One True King has come and claimed His Kingdom. We have the choice to follow our King Christ and His rule of law, or remain in bondage to the rule of man and a world system. Every so called leader that has emerged since the time of Christ has been a leader into destruction, leading people into bondage to the system of man the New World Order if you will. The tool they use to convince the people is always fear.
The power of choice, is the freedom God has given to us all.
We have been choosing for years to reject the Government of God in favor of our election.
Hosea 4:6 “ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children”
Should we be surprised that our poor choices have yielded the current results of chaos and collapse?
Why do we have a Bible? What is the purpose of such a book? Many have claimed that control over the masses is the reason the Bible was constructed. I would tell those people they have clearly never read the Bible if they believe such a thing. It is true that many a King has attempted to use the word of God to control his fellow man. However God has a way of revealing things to us that rulers and Kings cannot conceal. I would argue in fact that the Bible instructs the people to reject Kings and man made Government in favor of God and his Ordinances.
1 Samuel 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that
they say unto you: for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me,
that I should not reign over them. 8:8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought
them up out of Egypt even unto this day, with which they have forsaken me, and
served other gods, so do they also unto you. 8:9 Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them about the way a king will reign over
them."
The bible in fact lays out the frame work or business model for life. We find the right way to conduct our daily affairs in a just manner that is pleasing to God. The Bible is for our benefit, to ensure we have the knowledge required to make sound choices.
“Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
The more things change the more they remain the same. We can see from the above scripture the people during the time Christ was walking the Earth in the flesh were looking for a leader. Can you imagine? The People were looking for a George Washington to lead them and what they got was Christ. In his presence the people called him Lord, yet they refused to obey his words. Even as they acknowledged his authority they rejected it not in word but in deed. Christ was showing the people the door, the passage out of bondage into freedom. However just as their ancestors had done in the dessert, they would not leave their “New Egypt” their slavery to the worlds system of man.
I suppose they found some sense of security in the man made welfare system. They were comfortable appointing men to rule over them. Sure they complained, they grumbled to one another of the injustice and tyranny. Yet when Christ came and showed them the way to freedom, they did not follow him. They liked what he was saying, he said all the right things. However the people realized that to follow what Christ was teaching them, they would have to do it on their own. There would be no vast army of Saints to ride over the Romans and King Herrod. What the people realized is the price for their freedom would be their own. Christ even went so far as to die on the Cross and to rise again to show the people they need not fear death. Christ paid the price in advance, and still we fear.
Luke 9:14 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”
So here we are today ladies and gentlemen, Waiting for the leader to emerge. I tell you the truth, that leader has emerged and his name is Christ. How long will we wait to follow his teaching? How long will we call him Lord, Lord and yet do not the things he has told us?
We have been given all the tools we need to walk away from this world system and embrace God.
Eph 6:10-17...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
I am reminded of the quote, “All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing”.
We have allowed this corruption to endure and flourish. We participate in enslaving ourselves and our fellow man. The time is at hand for each of us to stand firm upon the truth and reject the idea of a newly elected leader of salvation. We need to stop lying to ourselves and each other. Embrace the truth, and begin to set things right with God.
