Rain Upon us...and Reign Over America

What happenned yesterday in the Supreme Court's decision on Obamacare was truly a shock. The shock was not so much in the outcome but in the manner that that outcome came about. As if we do not have enough problems in this country, we can add to them a Chief Justice who instead of settling an issue, which he could have... for either side, compounded the problems, set precedents, greatly added to the distrust that we have in our Supreme Court and in doing all of this failed to protect the American public from excessive overreach of government. Either Chief Justice John Roberts is brilliant...a jurist of exceptional prescience as to the dangers ahead for our judicial system...or he is the weakest of minds to have ever worn those robes. I had written recently that conservatives are of the mindset that all we need is a Republican president and one or two Supreme Court justices and we will be ok. Other than a Jim DeMint or possibly a Ron Paul any future president would be entangled by intrigues that would leave him (her) anything but independent if he (or she) even desired such independence. The Supreme Court is in a war of its own and in no way can be relied upon to defend the Constitution. A theme of this blog since the beginning of 2009 has been that our attention has to be focused on the Congress which was orginally meant to be "the most dynamic branch of government." The Congress should have the upper hand. Chief Justice John Roberts cannot be defeated in an election....Congressman John Doe can. Presidents are indebted to their money lords, not to those of us who make up a well-managed fiefdom, senators have to leave the environs of their life support to return to their own states...to us. As of now, we do not have a grasp on the magnitude of the dangers that we as a nation and a people face. Obamacare is an example. In normal times it would be a disaster. Today it’s a pimple. We cannot, with mere human effort, extinguish the threats to our national defense and domestic tranquility or come anywhere near restoring sovereignty in our own economy. Our defenses are down, our enemies are strengthening, our will is gone, and our store of wisdom is depleted.  We have essentially told God that He has no business in our affairs thereby sealing our fate and depending only upon His timing for our judgement. Dependence upon the presidency or upon the Supreme Court is a dice game and yesterday proved that.  Both the executive branch and the Supreme Court can be overruled…by the Congress which in itself cannot be overruled except by the people; this in theory and dependent upon the fealty of all branches to the Constitution. The ruling elites in both parties are closer to each other than they are to us. They contend more to be captain of the ship than to save the ship. They hold the power and manipulate us into thinking that we actually have a say in governance our own country.  Once again in normal times we could afford to at least try to outmaneuver the owners of this casino located in Washington D. C.. Today we do not have that luxury for they are drunk with power and taking us swiftly over the falls whose mists they are blind to, whose roar they are deaf to and whose location they are ignorant of. We, the people, can give notice to every senator and congressperson that they are employed by us and not by Speakers of the House and Senate or Party Whips. The President would find that his powers truly are limited and the Supreme Court would deal with a Congress that increasingly closes the loopholes that they can take advantage of. The Karl Roves would be out of a job. But the people need discernment, fortitude and strength which cometh only from God. The answers that we seek are found only in humble reverence and repentance at His feet. There's a Biblical lesson in the life of Joseph that we not only have to be aware of but dependent upon. His brothers had sold him into slavery but God made him great in his new land of Egypt. Everyone is aware of this story. In a time of famine the brothers came to Egypt for food…to beg from the brother whose identity was hidden from them. When this was revealed to them they were sore afraid but Joseph told them this…”…as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” There are those that hate God and despise those who believe and trust in him. Their actions are meant to hurt and quite frankly they are doing a good job; this because we are few, we are weak and we are undiscerning. They have often meant evil towards God's remnant in America but God has meant it for good. How that good will be played out I do not know. It may strengthen his church while America collapses or is defeated, or it may strengthen America as we, as a people, return to Him in a marvelous awakening and reformation of the church. Either way would be perfect…either way will bring Him glory but the latter should be our hope. This truly would be a grass roots movement but grass needs water and only an outpouring of God's Spirit can bring this about.
