ESTABLISHING KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
The GARDEN was just like HEAVEN on Earth. Adam was placed there not to work or till it, but to take authority over it and keep things in order. GOD created by speaking, and Adam, who was created of the same kind, was to speak over the GARDEN. Even though Adam sinned and lost his dominion, Jesus came to restore that authority to us. That’s why we are to pray “Thy KINGDOM come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in HEAVEN.” (Matthew 6:10)
I often hear Christians say that they don’t get involved with politics. Definition of politics is “the activities associated with the governance of a country or area.” Yet, they are supposed to not only pray for a government (KINGDOM) to come but for God’s will to be done within that government. In fact, Jesus did most of His ministry about the KINGDOM and not about establishing religion. So where are we in this process?
A belief in GOD is necessary for the survival of the U.S.A. Our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, states our rights are granted to us by our creator. Our 2nd President, John Adams, said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” So, as we pray for “Thy KINGDOM to come” are we not praying for GOD’s government to be established, or do we leave that to the people of this ungodly world to establish a government for themselves?
If we elect officials that we know do not abide by the laws of GOD, are we not “aiding and abetting” these individuals in corrupting our government and the lives of our families, friends and society? We will have to stand against opposition and incur the anger of those who hate God; and while they say “give us Barabbas” we will be comforted in knowing that if we suffer for righteousness’ sake we are blessed. (1 Peter 3:14)
There are politicians that claim they are Christians and thus a part of a Christian party, but let’s simply take the Ten Commandments and judge whether they stand for God or not. (Exodus 20:2-17 or Deut. 5:6-21)

1. Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me — God, the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority must be the only god we bow down to and obey. Which politicians, regarding gender, marriage, affirmation and obedience, want to violate the laws of GOD and demand, under severe penalty, that man is to be obeyed.
2. Thou Shalt Not Make any Graven Images – Graven image refers to some kind of object or image that has been made to represent a god. God specifies that it should not be an image of the heavens, the earth, or under the sea. This is something that is shaped by man’s imagination and industry. Could this relate to the Green hoax that requires that all of us must bow and sacrifice to the unproven speculations of the Earth’s demise? Which party is demanding this? 3. Thou Shalt Not Take the Lord’s Name in Vain – It is hard to watch movies or listen to secular music without being offended by the use of curse words. Which politicians support Hollywood, hip-hop culture, and the porn industry? 4. Thou Shalt Remember the Sabbath Day – It is probably difficult to find out how many politicians actually honor the Sabbath, but if we look at their action, which politicians want to ban Bibles and prayer in schools, nativity scenes in public places, and the posting of the 10 Commandments in courtrooms? 5. Honor Thy Father and Mother – Which politicians want to deny parental choice in education and deny parental notification for minor children regarding contraception, abortion, sex changes and sex education? Which party officials wanted to put parents in jail for standing up against Critical Race Theory? Which party officials said that parents shouldn’t be allowed to educate their children? 6. Thou Shalt Not Kill – Which politicians want to legalize and finance the murder of millions of innocent children and then prosper by selling body parts? Which party has demanded the reduction of police officers, the release of criminals from prison, and the reduction or elimination of bail resulting in increased violence and death. Which party’s highest official paid the bail for Antifa and BLM rioters after murder and violence against U.S. citizens? 7. Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery — Which politicians advocate for the LGBTA+ agenda, women’s liberation, and Hollywood immorality? 8. Thou Shalt Not Steal – Which politicians want to spend trillions of your dollars to support plans that you do not want and your children will have to pay for? 9. Thou Shalt Not Covet — Which politicians want to complain about income inequality, plot wealth redistribution, and then burn and loot their neighbor’s possessions while thirsting for revenge and entitlement? 10. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor – How many lies have been told in just the last 6 years which have caused political and personal damage? Which party’s media outlets never redact their erroneous reports? Which party wants to lie to the American people with extreme efficiency and lethality, thus fulfilling their thirst for blood and death while destroying the last great hope for man on this earth – the U.S.A? |
Revelations 21:8 describes these evildoers as the faithless, murders, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and liars. Their lies are designed to turn well-meaning Christians into unknowing accomplices of the most unspeakable crimes in history. You can recognize these politicians and their Party. You cannot ignore the TRUTH. You must consider these things when you vote and WE MUST VOTE! This can’t be left up to others. We pray, but we must be willing to do. The Great Commission is our responsibility. If we do not do it, it will not be done.
There are many opportunities for Christians to fellowship and get into God's presence. At the end of the summer, Lauren Daigle will be playing Red Rocks for two nights. This young lady's testimony is one of faith, healing and great anointing. Her music tells the story of the redemptive power of Christ. You can get tickets here for both shows, September 20th and September 21st, she will be performing with several other Christian artists. This is sure to be an amazing night of praise, worship and connection. Don't miss it! |

Galatians 6:2 encourages fellow believers to "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. As a community, we are bound together with the love of Christ. We exhibit that love through prayer for one another. Someone in our midst may be hurting, believing for a new job, seeking direction from God. When we come together in agreement for each other, we see God begin to work! We want to agree with you. We encourage our readers to let us know what we can all agree on for you. If you have a specific need that you would like us to pray for, let us know. The Word of God compels us to pray for one another in the community where we live.
