Before you begin your Bible study, as a believer
in the Lord Jesus Christ, be sure you have named your sins privately to God the
Father.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(Known, Unknown and Forgotten sins) (1Jn 1:9)
You will then be in fellowship with God, Filled with the
Holy Spirit and ready to learn Truth from the Word of God.
"God is spirit, and those who worship Him
must worship in Spirit and Truth," (Joh 4:24)
In Whom Do
You Trust!
The True
Hope of a nation
The next few
moments are devoted to silent prayer. You have the privacy of your priesthood,
the option of rebound if necessary to insure the filling of God the Spirit for
the perception and metabolism of the Word of Truth. You also have the
opportunity of blotting everything else out except concentration on the
teaching of the Word of God. In preparation for our study, let us pray.
Most gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You
for the privilege of being sustained logistically in this, the devils, world;
and that we have the privilege and the opportunity of fulfilling the most
exciting and the most unusual plan of all human history. We are grateful that
we live in the Church Age, where we have been given so much, and where the
significance of the ordinary believer is beyond measure. We pray that God the
Holy Spirit will challenge us regarding the things that we note, for we ask it
in Christ’s name, Amen.
From time to
time, we pause for what I call inculcation to emphasize on how Divine Thoughts
are formed. One source is eschatology, the study of future events from biblical
Prophecy. From this knowledge we can appreciate and understand that the source
of our hope and happiness is our guaranteed future with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rarely do I
watch television, or the news, but I did this evening. I wanted to see the
crowd at the inauguration festivities. I knew the media interviews with people
in the crowd would be excellent. There was quite a cross-section of people from
this country attending the inauguration. Almost without exception, everyone
interviewed expressed similar ideas. Some were eloquent, some spoke with
hesitation, some with a measure of confusion, but they all centered eventually
on one word — HOPE. Their hope was not the Biblical hope of confidence in the
Lord and in the Word of God— the function of the faith-rest drill as one of the
problem-solving devices. In effect, their hope was based on unrealistic
expectations — a new face in the White House, a new administration, a political
change. To the people who were interviewed, political change meant something
better for them. Hope was the word they used. They were depending upon
government — a government that has failed to fulfill its functions and
obligations and has the greatest indebtedness in human history. They were
depending on a congress, on a president, on people, and on a government that
has shown tremendous Fiscal irresponsibility, to say the least. They thought the government either owed them a living or that
change would bring something they wanted — happiness. A better environment was
just around the corner.
These people
came from long distances; (Some people who were obviously not well-to-do,
others who obviously were) all kinds of people; they were like sheep. They were looking for something they obviously had not found.
Then I began
to Think of, (Jer 17:5) because this
passage describes exactly what the people in this country expressed. Never have
I seen on television so many people from all walks of life, which had such
tremendous needs. Because they cannot define their
needs in terms of God's Thinking, like you can, they are looking for a man to solve their problems. They are
looking for government to do something for them. They are looking at people to
wave a magic wand, as it were, and to give them what they want to make them
happy.
From, (Jer 17:5) I want you to understand, as a
believer in Jesus Christ, what occurred on this special inauguration day. We live in the Church Age, the dispensation of the
ordinary believer, when God has provided more for us than for the greatest
heroes of the Old Testament. We have something
that is beyond any riches that man can measure!
I am sure
many of those people at the inauguration have heard the Gospel; I am sure many
of them are believers. But they have been exposed to so much false twisted
Truth, that they have no concept of what is true value; WHERE and HOW we will spend eternity!
THUS SAYS THE
LORD, BEING CURSED IS THE PERSON WHO PUTS HIS CONFIDENCE IN MAN AND MAKES THE
SIN NATURE HIS STRENGTH, SO THAT HIS HEART TURNS AWAY FROM THE LORD. FOR HE
SHALL BE LIKE A TUMBLEWEED IN THE DESERT... (Jer
17:5-6)
Many
born-again believers are described this way, as are many unbelievers. Those
thousands milling about tonight in Washington, D.C., looking for happiness,
going to the various parties, the balls, all celebrations of a change; because
change has been the key word subjecting themselves to a false hope, how are
they described? The Scripture says they are “tumbleweeds.”
In high
desert country, at an altitude of at least 2,500 feet, you can look in at least
three directions and see mountains. What a magnificent view; the mornings are
cold, the days warm, and the winds blow almost constantly. When I was a young
officer in the horse cavalry at Fort Bliss, we would ride out, mounted, troop
after troop, going on a Field training exercise. The wind would come up. Our
horses would shy and rear as hundreds and hundreds of tumbleweeds, like a wave
of advancing troops, would blow across our path. Tumbleweeds have no roots;
they are vulnerable to any wind that blows. I suppose if tumbleweeds had souls,
they would be looking for a place to settle and take root.
FOR HE SHALL
BE LIKE A TUMBLEWEED IN THE DESERT AND HE WILL NOT SEE PROSPERITY... (Jer 17:6) cf. (Jer
22:21)
Prosperity is
the Hebrew word tov, equivalent to
the Greek agathos, meaning “good of
intrinsic value.” It can be translated “Values and or Virtue.”
HE WILL NOT
SEE VALUES (The opportunity to believe in Christ and
or to grow to Spiritual maturity) WHEN THEY COME; FOR HE SHALL LIVE IN PARCHED
PLACES... (Jer 17:6)
There are
many, many reasons the people of this client nation are living in parched
places. It has nothing to do with what they possess in life. It has nothing to
do with their financial condition, or their job, or lack of one. It has nothing
to do with any form of human security. People with human security, people
without human security live in parched places. And the reason is given in the
previous verse, “whose heart turns away from the Lord.”
Everyone is looking for assurance. There is a tremendous restlessness in
the land today. Everyone
wants change! But change of human environment
will not help. Only that which is stable and
rooted in God's Thinking can offer comfort and happiness! Truth keeps people from becoming tumbleweeds in the desert.
FOR HE SHALL
BE LIKE A TUMBLEWEED IN THE DESERT, FOR HE WILL NOT SEE THE ABSOLUTE GOOD [Spiritual
Values: Salvation and Spiritual maturity] WHEN
IT COMES; (Everyone has an opportunity to be
saved and grow to Spiritual maturity! (Rom
1:18-20) HE SHALL LIVE IN PARCHED PLACES IN THE DESERT. (Jer 17:6)
Except for
the parched places, the desert can be a place of wonder and beauty. The tragedy
is that parched places describe not only the unbelieving populace, but also the
majority of born-again believers in the time in which we live. When I saw on
the television tonight people who had been sleeping out on lawns since dawn so
they could be in the right place to see the inauguration and the parade, and
all the revelry — people who have placed their hope in
the promises of a man — I thought, How heartbreaking to realize these
people are so close and yet so far from the Truth of the Word of God; which is
so readily available in our land. They live only in parched places in the
desert.
They do not know that Divine problem-solving devices are
the God-given means of applying metabolized Truth to experience, and provide
the only perfect environment in the world today. That environment is in the soul!
Now you who
have Truth in your soul are prepared to understand the significance of this
inauguration day of the forty-second President of the United States. You have the opportunity to see what is really happening
because you have that perfect environment of the soul; metabolized Truth
circulating in the seven compartments of the stream of consciousness.
All of the earnest
emotion in the world, all of the yearning for a better life cannot solve the
problems of this nation. There is no
substitute for the perfect environment of tranquility and contentment, which
can exist only in the soul of a Spiritually mature born-again believer! That perfect environment is the Word of Truth, metabolized
Truth from which originates the problem-solving devices. The problem-solving
devices not only apply Truth to experience, but provide the only perfect
environment available until the Second Advent and the-millennial reign-of Jesus
Christ.
BLESSED [Being made happy] IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD
AND WHOSE TRUST IS THE LORD. (Jer 17:7)
“Being made happy” is the passive voice in the Hebrew.
Happiness is not an instant condition. Happiness is a process that develops and
continues when maximum metabolized Truth circulates in your soul. The problem-solving devices not only apply to your
experience on a continual basis, but at the same time create the perfect
environment, the motivation, and the Thinking God intends for us to possess.
As I watched
the inauguration, I thought of you who have consistently learned Truth. What a
contrast between you and those people who are so hungry for change, seeking
hope, depending upon man when God says cursing is the
result of trusting in man. Some of you have
found that curse to be true as you depended on a husband, a wife, a friend. You
depended on someone you thought was going to change everything for you, but
they did not. You did not apply Truth.
I
occasionally see on some of your faces the same thing I saw in the faces of
that crowd. You come to church for a “fix’ as it were. You want a one-shot
inspiration, a religious experience, and then you are gone to do your own
thing. It will not work!
BEING MADE
HAPPY IS THE PERSON [The believer] WHO TRUSTS [Batach] IN THE LORD... (Jer 17:7)
Trust is the
qal imperfect of the verb batach in
the Hebrew. This word is used for the faith-rest drill. Another word, amen, is used for salvation by faith.
Even the Greek transliterates amen
the same.
NOW ABRAHAM
BELIEVED [Amen] IN THE LORD; AND IT
WAS CREDITED TO HIS ACCOUNT FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Gen
15:6)
Faith is not
just the pattern for Old Testament salvation, but the pattern for salvation
always. The hiphil stem of amen is
the word used for faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. How
much faith does it take to be saved? Just a little bit more than none at all. In
the privacy of your own soul, you can speak inaudibly to God the Father and
say, Father, I believe in Jesus Christ. That
is all! How much faith is that? Just a little
bit more than none at all.
By contrast, batach,
is the faith of a believer applying the Promises of God to problems. I call
this the faith-rest drill. Abraham applied faith-rest. All the great
heroes of the Old Testament lived the faith-rest life. We, too, can have
faith-rest.
BEING MADE HAPPY IS THE PERSON WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD... (Jer 17:7)
The faith-rest drill, one of the problem-solving devices,
establishes Divine Thinking. The faith-rest
drill uses metabolized Truth, and makes application of Promises to experience,
and applies the Doctrinal rationales, e.g., (Rom 8:26-32).
Where do you
place your hope? Hope in the Bible means confidence. Where
is your confidence? In man? We have just seen in, (Jer
17:5) that confidence in man is “being cursed.” “Being cursed” is in
the passive voice indicating it is a process just as attaining permanent
happiness is a process. Happiness is a process because you cannot have the
problem-solving devices in place in an instant. Learning
and applying Truth takes time; it is a process — a little today, a little tomorrow, a little the next day. Truth every day is our life, our blessing, our capacity
for life, our confidence, our love, and our happiness.
BEING MADE HAPPY IS THE PERSON WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD;
THEREFORE, THE LORD IS HIS CONFIDENCE! (Jer
17:7)
The Biblical word for hope means confidence, absolute
confidence in a fantastic plan, in being a part of that plan, having temporal
impact, but far more important, hope has eternal repercussions. You stop
running around and looking for hope, looking for some person to satisfy
whatever your hopes, your desires, your lusts; you may be looking for some job,
looking for some short-cut to wealth — seeking but not knowing what you are
seeking. I wanted to shout to those people at the inauguration, you are putting your confidence in the wrong thing! You are depending on a man! You are depending on a
government! You are depending on an organization
that has demonstrated a remarkable amount of incompetence! Political change will not alter anything! Change just
means a different group of imperfect people come in with the same old
incompetence, the same old power lust. If you are
depending upon people, you are in the process of being cursed. And if you are depending upon God, you are in the process
of being blessed.
Being blessed through Truth applied to your life makes you
an invisible hero, the positive impact of the Church Age believer through
personal execution of the plan of God. That Concept is the only way there will
ever be change that fulfills the Principle,
BEING MADE HAPPY IS THE PERSON WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD;
THEREFORE, THE LORD IS HIS CONFIDENCE. HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE BEING PLANTED BY
THE WATER... (Jer 17:7-8)
Water refers to Truth. Water makes the tree, (A Believer) grow.
GROW IN GRACE AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE (THINKING) OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
JESUS CHRIST. TO HIM BE THE GLORY, BOTH NOW
AND TO THE DAY OF ETERNITY. AMEN. (2Pe 3:18)
HE SHALL BE
LIKE A TREE BEING PLANTED BY THE WATER AND BY A STREAM; HE WILL SEND OUT
ROOTS... (Jer 17:8)
What is the
difference between the water and the stream? “Water”
is the entire canon of Scripture. The “stream ‘
is Truth you are taught on a consistent basis. The
stream is where your roots go. And the roots are the problem-solving devices that
make the tree strong. You will not become a “tumbleweed.” Now note the
last half of verse 8.
THEREFORE, HE
DOES NOT FEAR WHEN HEAT COMES... (Jer 17:8)
Why is the
believer being made happy without fear? Fear, along with guilt, is an emotional
complex of sins. The two sins together are destructive to your Spiritual life. You cannot deal with the adversities of life in fear, nor
can you be motivated by guilt. The
problem-solving devices remove fear and guilt as false motivation.
THEREFORE, HE
DOES NOT FEAR WHEN HEAT COMES. (Jer 17:8)
“Heat” is the
outside pressures of adversity and prosperity. For
the problem-solving devices on the defense line of the soul prevent the outside
pressures from becoming the inside pressures of stress in the soul. How
disturbing to see people suddenly becoming enthusiastic with unrealistic
expectations. The greater the unrealistic expectation, the greater the
disappointment. From great disappointment follows disillusionment and reaction.
Disappointment always exists in human
history, with one exception. When
your expectation is from the Lord, you are never disappointed!
THEREFORE, HE
DOES NOT FEAR WHEN HEAT COMES FOR HIS LEAVES ARE ALWAYS GREEN... (Jer 17:8)
“Leaves” are
a metaphor for problem-solving devices in your soul and “always green” is
applying problem-solving devices to life.
HE DOES NOT
WORRY IN THE YEAR OF DEPRESSION (National and or
personal) AND HE NEVER FAILS TO BEAR FRUIT. (Jer 17:8)
To “bear fruit” is the invisible impact of the believer
growing in grace, functioning under his very own Spiritual life, and executing
the protocol plan of God for the Church Age. Bearing
fruit for us today is the invisible impact of the invisible hero.
WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH. BUT HE THAT KEEPS THE LAW, HAPPY IS HE. (Pro 29:18)
What does it
mean for people to have a vision? The Hebrew word referred originally to the
writings or the messages of the prophets of Israel, specifically to the
messages that were recorded and became a part of the Word of God. This does not
exclude the fact that the prophets of Israel also had other messages to the
people that were not recorded, because they were not pertinent to future
generations. But vision refers to the content of the
message of the prophets and that content was God's Thinking --- that ALL believers are
to use to Think with! (2Pe 1:20-21)
WHERE THERE
IS NO DIVINE COMMUNICATION, [Where there is no Thinking
with Truth] THE PEOPLE PERISH, (The people are unrestrained; ignorant and arrogant). (Pro 29:18)
The niphal
imperfect of para, “perish,” means to
“let loose, to run wild,” not to physically die, but to be “unrestrained, to be
out of hand, to let loose in the sense of letting something slip through your
fingers.” Where there is no Truth; you let that
happiness and blessing slip through your fingers. Perish means to be “ignorant
and arrogant.” Unruly people are often ignorant
and arrogant. Their ignorance of Truth motivates their unruliness, their lack
of restraint.
SO
HE WHO GUARDS [Observes,
keeps, and keeps on keeping Divine Thinking] THE
LAW. (Pro 29:18) The adversative vowel plus the qal active participle of shamar means “to guard, to keep, to keep on keeping, to keep on
observing,” therefore to persist in the perception and metabolism of Truth.
This is not just a one-shot deal, when you need a Spiritual ‘fix’ when things
are going wrong, but CONSISTENT perception and use of
Truth!
The word “Law” was used for all of the Mosaic Law. The
first five books of the Old Testament, written by Moses, called the Pentateuch,
include the Spiritual, social, and Divine establishment laws for Israel, not
just the Ten Commandments. “Law” eventually came to refer to the teaching of
the Thoughts of the Word of God as They then existed; and now exists!
...HAPPY IS
HE WHO KEEPS [Or guards] THE LAW [The teaching of Truth]. (Pro 29:18)
In the book of
Proverbs “Truth,” when used in poetry, means the teaching of Spiritual Wisdom.
And in Proverbs, every verse is poetry.
The noun esher is
translated “happy or sharing the happiness of God.”
Happiness and contentment come only through applying Divine Wisdom to adversity
and prosperity!
WHERE THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION OF DIVINE REVELATION, THE
PEOPLE LACK RESTRAINT, [They are searching for
something] BUT HE WHO KEEPS AND USES THE
THINKING OF GOD; HAPPY IS HE! (Pro 29:18)
No nation
survives long without having a national crisis and that is especially true of a
client nation to God. You know there is no such thing as a Christian nation,
and never will be. Nations cannot be Christian; only individuals can become
Christian. Based on a Judeo-Christian heritage the founding fathers provided
for religious freedom in the Constitution of the United States. Although many
of the inhabitants of this country profess Christianity, the laws of Divine establishment, upon which the Constitution was based,
were set up to insure the protection, survival, privacy, property and blessing
of Christians and non-Christians alike. Religious freedom depends upon
the separation of church and state, (Mat 22:21;
cf., Rom 13:1-7). Christianity cannot be forced on people. Christianity must be optional. The first half of the
option is to hear the Gospel and then respond:
HE WHO
BELIEVES IN THE SON JESUS CHRIST HAS ETERNAL LIFE; (Joh 3:36)
And to
respond is the other half of the option:
BUT HE WHO
DOES NOT BELIEVE SHALL NOT SEE LIFE BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDES ON HIM. (Joh 3:36) (The same is
true for the ENTIRE WORD OF GOD! First we must hear; and then we must BELIEVE
and USE IT! ; Heb 10:23).
In a client
nation to God there is the desire to communicate the Gospel, to give people a
chance to hear, to accept or reject Jesus Christ. God the Holy Spirit is the
sovereign executive of personal evangelism. (Joh
6:44) That means all the begging, all the weeping, all the wailing,
all the pressure of any kind — coming forward, raising your hand, jumping
through a psychological hoop — are futile. Our
responsibility is to make the Gospel clear. The function of God the Holy Spirit is to make our faith
effective for salvation. (Tit 3:5) With the Holy Spirit as the sovereign executive of
evangelism we can only make the issue clear; no more no less. For people to say, we’re going to produce a Christian nation,
we’re going to pass Christian laws, is tyranny.
Some of the horrors during the time in which we live is when
born-again believers do not have Divine Thinking, and do not have the
problem-solving devices, and do not understand God’s plan for their lives!
They inevitably will enter into the legalism of tyranny. They
will actually become involved in Christian activism = MORAL AND OR IMMORAL
DEGENERACY.
WHERE THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION OF DIVINE REVELATION, THE
PEOPLE ARE UNRESTRAINED, IGNORANT AND ARROGANT. (Pro 29:18)
Christians who are ignorant of what the Word of God teaches
are unrestrained. In activism they can destroy property and even the lives of
those who disagree with them.
God has given us the greatest plan in the world, yet there
is no restraint on these believers who are involved in activism. By
activism, I do not mean voting, I do not mean entering into the political
activities that are related to the governing process of this country. But I do mean crowds in the street, yelling and screaming and
destroying property, being viciously intolerant in their attitude toward
others. There is no place for activism.
The power of Christianity is not political or visible, but
is Spiritual and invisible. The Christian way of life is operating
within the protocol plan of God for the Church Age. The
influence of the invisible hero is the only way this nation will ever bring
blessing to its citizens. You must execute the
protocol plan of God and become a member of the pivot, the Spiritually mature
believers of a client nation. This is the
dispensation of the pivot of invisible heroes whose production, called in the
Bible “fruit,” (Gal 5:22-23) is the true hope for this nation.
One of the
most extraordinary periods of history occurred between A.D. 96 and 192 in the
Roman Empire during the period of the Antonine Caesars. For nearly a century
few troops were ever seen within the Empire. And the distant clash of arms on
the Tigris and the Euphrates, which runs through Baghdad today, and on the
Rhine and on the Danube scarcely disturbed the Mediterranean lands of the Roman
Empire. The Mediterranean was a Roman sea. Rome controlled North Africa and
every land surrounding the Mediterranean. Six emperors or Caesars ruled SPQR,
Senatus Populusque Romanus, “the Senate and the People of Rome,” as the Romans
called themselves. Today, we know them as the Roman Republic and the Roman
Empire. They even had a flag, a banner emblazoned with SPQR. The six Caesars
who ruled SPQR were Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius,
and Commodus. The last two emperors even persecuted Christians. None of them
were born-again believers.
Yet
born-again believers had more to do with the prosperity of that period than any
time in history. Born-again believers launched the pivot from Ephesus, the
Roman province of Asia as western Turkey was called in those days. The men who
ruled Rome were mostly unbelievers. Yet the individual flourished during the
most impressive period of prosperity in history. Everything changed: Women were respected; there was a vigorous economy, a
stimulating social life, and a dynamic Spiritual life among believers, with
fantastic prosperity the most phenomenal period in history. Why? Because a certain number of ordinary believers executed
the protocol plan of God and became the beginning of a pivot. The pivot
did not exist in Rome: the pivot existed in Asia Minor, long before the Ottoman
Turks conquered the area. Asia Minor was a wonderful place with wonderful
believers.
Edward
Gibbon, the famous English historian of the last century, wrote a history in
five volumes on the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Gibbon believed that
a person, if allowed his choice, would prefer to have lived in the time of the
Antonine caesars than in any other period of history. The German historian,
Theodor Mommsen, a famous professor of Roman law, also describes this period as
the Golden Age of history. Paraphrasing him from the German: This empire
fostered the peace and prosperity of the many nations, united under its sway,
longer and more completely, than any other leading power has ever succeeded in
doing.
How marvelous
that a pivot should rise first in Ephesus and then spread throughout the
empire. It is interesting that the canon of Scripture was completed in A.D. 96,
the very year that Nerva became the emperor. And the dynamics of the Spiritual
life of the pivot was so phenomenal that the greatest period of blessing ever
known in history lasted for almost a hundred years. Perhaps
now you can begin to see the dynamics of a pivot with Divine Thinking;
established through learning the plan of God for our life.
What is
important to you? Would you be standing in that spectacular scene that extends
from the very high needle of the Washington Monument all the way to the White
House? Would you be able to stand there with Divine
Thinking or would you, if interviewed, simply
express the hunger, the desire, the hope of so many people thinking, now that
there is a change, life is going to be wonderful?
BEING CURSED [It is a process]
IS THE MAN WHO PUTS HIS TRUST IN MAN AND MAKES HIS OLD
SIN NATURE HIS TRUST; AND WHOSE HEART TURNS AWAY FROM THE LORD! (Jer 17:5)
“Clarence
Manion, the dean of the Notre Dame law school from 1941-1952, boarded a plane
sometime during the early 1950’s; one of the passengers recognized him and went
over and sat down next to him. Dean Manion was doing some work but he had to
put it all away as this man began asking questions. He told Professor Manion
that he was one of the greatest thinkers in our country at that time. He wanted
to talk with the professor about the unfortunate condition of our country. So
Dean Manion listened patiently, conversed with him, and began making notes while
the man was speaking.
As the plane
landed he got up, shook hands with the man, who again told Dean Manion what a
wonderful privilege it was to talk with a man of his caliber of mentality. Dean
Manion smiled, thanked him, and handed him a slip of paper on which he had
written these words:
Man begins his existence in bondage, and rises from bondage
through Spiritual faith, from
Spiritual faith to courage, from
courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness,
from selfishness to complacency, from
complacency to apathy, from apathy to
dependency, from (DEPENDENCY back into BONDAGE!) (THE WHOLE WORLD IS HERE
NOW! (Pro 13:13; Pro 14:2; Pro 15:32)
This is the cycle of civilization; national and personal.
The only hope of breaking this cycle is the believer who gives his attention to
the Word of God.
HE WHO GIVES ATTENTION TO THE WORD SHALL FIND GOOD, AND BLESSED IS HE WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD! (Pro 16:20)
We are grateful, heavenly Father, for
the privilege and the opportunity of fellowshipping in the Word; for the
challenges that come to us through the Scripture; for the Thoughts that we
learn; for the fantastic provision for each one of us as Church Age believers,
the dispensation of the ordinary person. We are grateful for the fantastic
portfolio of invisible assets provided for each one of us to have, not only
Spiritual impact on history, but to be recorded forever in the eternal state as
the names and the deeds of believers who become invisible heroes; to provide
hope for America not through revolutions, or violence, or self-righteous
arrogance, not through crusader arrogance, or attempting to change things by
any form of tyranny, not through Christian activism, or civil disobedience, but
through our invisible impact. Therefore, Father, in view of what has occurred
today and what has been occurring in this country, challenge us under the
principle of separation of church and state to fulfill our Spiritual destiny as
provided for us, that we might have a legitimate impact on this nation that we
love so dearly. May we become the true hope for our nation. We ask this in the
name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
WE NEED TO LEARN AND BELIEVE WHAT GOD DECLARES TO BE REALITY; AND NOT WHAT WE THINK IS REALITY!
