Jesus the most revolutionary man of all time was born during
the occupation of the Roman Empire.
Satan himself moved upon political leaders to slaughter every child 2
years old and under as a plot to abort the plans of God. This attempt failed because an angel warned
Joseph and Mary through a dream. They
escaped by going to Egypt. They returned
to raise their son in a Roman occupied territory where he saw, felt and
experienced the oppression of the Romans Empire on His people. Still he grew in the grace of God and His
ministry flourished as he walked and demonstrated the power of God. Signs, wonders and miracles marked His
ministry. While many may see his death
as defeat, it was His martyrdom that provided the soil of revival and once the
seed went into the ground it was raised as a testimony of God’s ability to
prevail against governmental tyranny.
The Spirit of God was also poured out during Roman
occupation when the religious leaders were strictly opposed to this new move of
God. It was religion not the political system
that was the cause of Jesus’ murder.
Religion still opposes God today as it attempts to keep His Spirit from moving
by refusing change. I will recall a
funny movie moment in the movie the Avengers as the villain stands there and
rants of his supposed greatness and tells the Hulk he is a demi god. The Hulk picks him up and slams him side to
side until he is pounded into the ground.
The Hulk turns around and says puny god.
lol
If the greatest move of God can be poured out during a
religious and political system that was clearly bent on destroying it then how
much more can we do during our time of freedom here in America? These supposed
road blocks are puny obstacles compared to the persecution our predecessors
endured. There is no anti-Christ spirit that
can stop the efforts and purposes of our God. The question here is not what will the
President do but what will you do with the remaining freedom you have? Let’s stop squandering our time shall we and
start occupying this land as if it belongs to God. We only have one banner to stand under and it
is the banner of His love. It is at this
time that we must become preachers of righteousness. We must take a hammer in one hand and a
sickle in the other to rebuild the walls of America…for her gates are burnt
down and her walls are collapsing and the
torch of liberty flickers with the possibility of forever going out. We must
remember that we are Christians first, and Americans second. I don’t know about you but my future is not
determined by men but by Almighty God!
