The Lord brought this Word to my mind when I woke up this morning....."If it be possible let this cup pass from me..never the less not my will but thine be done "... Jesus came to do the will of the Father.
Then when I went to Apostacy Watch's website this afternoon, and found this article in regards to one who is encouraging God's people to rebel against the government, please take the time to read the scriptures contained in this article: http://apostasywatch.com/special/baldwinappeal.htm
Jesus came to do the will of the Father, the will of the father at times does not sit well with men, none the less His will must be done:
Matthew 26:36-42
36. Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
None of us enjoys suffering, nor are we waiting with bated breath, in eager anticipation of what is coming upon this nation...but it is the will of God...it is the judgment of God for our sins as a nation, and we should not set ourselves to fight against the will of God.
To fight against and kill those that oppress us is not the will of God for His people.
Peter did not want the soldiers to take Jesus, and he lashed out in his flesh in defense of Christ, but he did not understand what was the will of God...many today do not understand what is the will of God.
God has put the current powers in place, not so that we would fight against them and kill them, but that we would cry out to him in repentance, and seek Him for help, provision, protection, comfort and deliverance. It is not God's will that we fight and kill those who He has set up against us.
We are to be His witnesses in a sinful and dying world, and stand fast to the end and be willing to be faithful to Him and His Word unto death.
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness as idolatry...lest we forget it is God who shall fight our battles...lest we become puffed up and believe that it is our own hand that has saved us. Rebellion against the will of the Most High God will not be tolerated...those who take up the sword and live by it...instead of by the Word of God will die by the sword.
