1 John 2:15-17 (New King James Version)
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that
is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Revelation 13:7-9 (New King James Version)
7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe,[
a] tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
This is only a few passages that say we have not the control to stop the world and its demise. Perhaps this is why so few Christians feel not led to stand up in the political arena. In the end, the results will be the same. However, that does not excuse Christians from doing God's Will!!!
It could be this present generation of so much wickedness or it may be at some time in the future, we just don't know. But those who have ears, let him hear.
God has granted Satan to make warwith the saints at the end of this age and I suppose the closer to the end of this present world, Satan and the demons are working even harder and faster than ever before. So put on the full armor, we are in a real battle, but we already know how the war will end. Show your life is different from the world and those who are truly His sheep will hear His voice and follow Him. God will not accept those in the end who are just getting life insurance policy for the fire.
However there are a few passages that tell us what we are to be doing.
- Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
- Matthew 5:13
[ Believers Are Salt and Light ] “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Philippians 2:12-14 (New King James Version)
Light Bearers
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for
it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
14 Do all things without complaining and disputing,
Isaiah 45:5-7 (King James Version)
5I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
WHO HAS THE FINAL SAY? WHO HAS CONTROL OVER THE POLITICS? CAN THE FEW LABORERS STOP THE UPHEAVAL? CERTAINLY STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, BUT IN THE END THAT GOD HAS FORETOLD, HE WINS THE WAR FOR HIS OWN. WE ARE REDEEMED IF WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE REDEEMER AND PUT ON THE FULL ARMOUR OF CHRIST TO PROTECT US FROM THE EVIL. IN THE END TIMES, SATAN AND HIS DEMONS WILL WORK FASTER AND FASTER WITH MORE FURY. PERHAPS WE ARE SEEING THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES AND WHILE NO MAN KNOWS THE HOUR OR DAY, HOW MANY MORE GENERATIONS BEFORE CHRIST RETURN?
