I posted these two paragraphs below on April 2, 2015....about a week after Ted Cruz announced his candidacy for the Republican Party's nomination for president. There were some good people in that large group of candidates....but a month after Cruz announced.....Trump came down the escalator. We were not going to pick a humble man (woman) for president....who would look to the Lord Jesus Christ for strength.....because we ourselves were not humbled....and we had no intention of putting our trust in God at that time....for we had Supreme Court Justices to pick first....and taxes to lower....and a wall to build. The gospel of Jesus Christ is as a Covid test....in that if God has regenerated a soul....that soul will show positive....and savingly believe in Jesus Christ. If the nation has shown repentance....it will then choose wise leaders.....and if the church has shown repentance....it also will choose pastors who truly shepherd the sheep. God is the one who makes alive. We do not procure our salvation by believing....without God having regenerated us first....nor do we orchestrate revivals of any kind....without God having first made these dead bones live. So what do we do? We say with passion....'test me God! Test me now....that it may prove that you have had mercy upon me!'....and the nation says....'we can do nothing without you'....and the church says...."Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you. Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation." (Psalm 85:7)
"The real import in Ted Cruz's announcement today is not in what he could do if elected as our president. The real significance in his election as president would be that a change would have had to occur in the American people....for if America were to elect someone with such an overtly Christian message as Ted Cruz gave today....(in his announcement)....it would signal that we were breaking the bondage of special interests groups....and that greed no longer dictated our vote. To elect Ted Cruz would mean that maybe we were beginning to humble ourselves before our Creator.
Almost from day one in these posts I've given my opinion that neither politics....nor governments....nor armies can stop or even postpone God's judgement upon our nation....unless we first do exactly what Israel had done from time to time.....that being repenting and returning to Him. Ted Cruz....Jim DeMint....no one....not even our best....can rule or legislate away God's judgement. The electing of a strong and wise president would not come first....but rather first would come the repentance which would pave the way for choosing good leaders."
