Resurrection

It’s been a few months since I last posted, and it should not surprise you that evil men continue to do evil things. It can be very discouraging watching arrogant self-centered leaders do everything they can to tear this country apart.

Bad leaders have always placed their own ambitions above the people they rule, using their authority to dominate, enslave, and destroy in their thirst for power. That is why the founders of this country designed a government elected by the people with checks and balances, instead of a kingship.

But our government today has slipped a long way from what was originally set up. The people have given up governing themselves. We have sold our American birthright for a bowl of beans (Genesis 25:31-34). We choose to live with pigs (Luke 15:11-22) instead of in a shining city on top of a hill admired by every other nation (Matthew 5:14-16).

Isaiah 53:6 - We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. (NIV)

There is only one way to save our great nation from tumbling into the abyss.

Psalm 40:2 - He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. (NIV)

We have to change the people… We have to lift them up out of the mire… We have to wake them up on the inside… We have to bring them back to life…

John 11:25-26 - Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

My friends, do you really understand who you are, and the power you have been given by your Father in heaven?

Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” (NIV)

Did you know that all Christians have been given the power to raise the dead. The people of this world walk around like zombies, fulfilling their day to day ordeals without any life in them. Like soulless husks they cannot help but destroy themselves and consume everything around them.

Matthew 28:18-20 - Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV)

I have a challenge for you this Easter my friends. Go bring somebody back to life. The saving of our country can only be achieved one resurrection at a time.
