A HOUSE DIVIDED
By W. G. Guy
I find it amazing that the Marxist communists, leftist progressives and liberals employ the very words of Jesus as their means of destroying America. Jesus said:
Mathew 12:25 – Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
America used to be known as the United States of America; however it is now the Divided States of America; why? It is because that is what we are being told every day by our mainstream news media, our liberal politicians and corporate leaders. Too many people just absorb what is being promoted daily.
Consider a typical day of watching the national news media: its always Democrats vs Republicans; Left vs Right; Blacks vs Whites; Liberals vs Conservatives; pro-abortion vs pro-life; feminism vs masculinity; homosexuality vs heterosexuality; Christianity vs Humanism with its religion of Self/Flesh, etc. All this conflict is aimed at dividing the people in order to breed conflict which is destructive to any society – just as Jesus stated again:
Luke 11:17 – Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
Note the word desolation – means laid waste, empty, void of life, misery. These tactics aimed at dividing and causing civil strife are the tools of Satan to destroy.
John 10:10 – The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Note also how these pawns of Satan utilize the devil’s tactics to achieve their nefarious objectives:
John 8:44 – Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The lies and deception of the news media and corrupt politicians are so pronounced that they cannot be denied. The evil works of the devil are referred to as darkness and evil which is the opposite of light and righteousness. So we see that the efforts of the Marxist communists, leftist progressives, liberal media and politicians are totally of Satan; and they are established to destroy America that was dedicated to God upon its founding.
What are the results of the devil’s ways being employed: obviously all manner of corruption of the lusts of the flesh; selfishness, hatred, covetousness for power, wealth and control and all manner of evil.
Galatians 5:19-21 – Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
2 Timothy 3:1-4 – This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
All of this division is the opposite of the conditions of the kingdom of God and His desired way of life for mankind as commanded.
Matthew 22:36-40 – Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
If we live according to the faith that is required of true followers of Jesus Christ we will fulfill what the Word of God directs us to do:
Romans 12:9-21 – Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Living according to the Will of the Father as demonstrated by His Son, Jesus, we will be at odds with the “world’s system” and man’s corrupt form of government. Thus we will experience persecution as promised.
2 Timothy 3:12 – Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Churches and pastors must proclaim the truth and teach how to live according to God’s Word and not surrender to the corruption of man’s rule. Notice that our government has even tried to use the Bible to corruptly manage our lives according to their evil directives by employing Romans 13; but they use it unlawfully to enhance their corrupt policies. They stand on the first two verses but ignore the remainder.
Romans 13:1-2 – Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
What they ignore is the very God given purpose for GODLY government!
Romans 13:3-4 – For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
The apostle Peter gave us an example when he and the disciples were instructed by their local government to no longer proclaim Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:18-19 – And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
Peter and the disciples chose to rebel against their government leaders rather than rebel against God.
Acts 4:29-30 – And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
This stands as an example for us to follow today against the tyranny of our current corrupt form of government which itself is in defiance of what our nation was originally Constitutionally founded on.
The burden then falls on our churches and their leaders to declare the truth of God’s Word and resist the corruption being promoted by the Marxist, Communistic, Progressive, Liberal news media and politicians. Their evil agenda needs to be identified and opposed – STRONGLY!
Many pastors refuse to so because the government threatens their 501.C.3 status. However the 501.C.3 means nothing and is actually useless because most church people do not give enough to actually get a tax credit for what they give. In addition, the United States Code automatically gives churches tax exempt status without needing the 501.C.3 which turned out to be a ploy for control over what preachers can do or say.
Taking a stand will put you at odds with the government, but who are you going to ultimately answer to: God or man? We are instructed to, “Hold fast”, so don’t yield to the evil of the enemy, even if there is a price to pay!
1 Thessalonians 5:21 – Prove all things; hold fast that which is good
Titus 1:9 – holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Hebrews 10:23 – Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Revelation 2:13 & 25 – I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. (Yes, some may pay a price, but it will be worth it.) ….But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Revelation 3:11 – Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
We are to walk in faith, being faithful; and He will give us the victory over all that is in this vile world.
1 John 5:4-5 – For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Will you be found faithful? Will your church be found faithful? Will your pastor be found faithful? To be faithful to God, His Word and Jesus Christ will put us at odds against this world and its corruption, including our government! America is a house divided and will not stand as it currently exists!
Our only solution is to believe in Jesus Christ and to resist the devil.
James 4:7 – Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
