WHO IS AFRAID OF WHO?
It is God’s intention that His people should take dominion and fill the earth with His people, revealing His salvation and love and truth. We read about the children of Israel back in Egypt. Exodus 1:7 tells us that they “were fruitful and increased abundantly, and multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them” and the Egyptians became afraid of them. So set taskmasters over them to afflict them. “But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.”
Sadly, this is not the picture of God’s people today. The leftist and anti-God socialists are ruling over God’s people. They control us with what we do and how we live our lives, EVEN IN OUR OWN HOMES! They mandate masks to silence us and keep us distanced and suspicious of one another.
Massachusetts rules today that if your home or backyard has more than 10 people in it, including a guest, everyone over the age of two years old MUST wear a mask! This is intrusion into private property!
They give out edicts (against the Constitution of our country) that people can only go back to church in limited numbers. They are not allowed to sing. They are curbed and put down while the pubs and liquor stores are open to as many who want to come. Rioters and protestors can freely destroy and burn down buildings while good people succumb to servitude.
This is the devil’s plan, not God’s plan. Listen to God’s promise to His people when they obey His commandments and walk in holiness: “The LORD shall establish thee a HOLY people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and THEY SHALL BE AFRAID OF THEE” (Deuteronomy 28:9, 10).
Isn’t it sad, that instead of the heathen, anti-God socialists being afraid of God’s people, it is the other way around? Many pastors are still afraid to open their churches. Many people are still afraid to go back to church. They are afraid to live in their God-given freedoms but willingly bow down to ungodly mandates. Those who are against God should be afraid of the people of God, not the other way around.
I think it comes back to holiness. It’s time for us to be a holy people. A set apart people. Repenting of sin. Turning back to God. Crying out to God to save our nation. No more half-heartedness. No more worldliness.
And then “the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be ABOVE ONLY and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God . . . to observe and to do them.”
Be blessed,
