******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******
I have read all the “end of the world is at hand” notes in regards to prop 8 and other elections coming up in November and I encourage everyone to vote the way God is leading your hearts.
But please let me encourage you on another point. Don’t lose heart if you lose an election. God will STILL be God! Stop with the slippery slopes, already. If Prop 8 doesn’t pass, maybe we will have to trust in God’s power rather than our own political power for a while. Please realize the
If Prop 8 passes or doesn’t, I will still send my children to school each day knowing it is MY job to train them up in the way they should go and beyond that, I have to trust Him to take care of my family. If Prop 8 passes, my kids will STILL be exposed to drugs and sex and even homosexuality – no law will change that – and I will still have to trust God to guard their hearts and minds and carry them through to completion.
The Pharisees were sure, if they could get every Jew to follow the law, for even one second, the Messiah would come. But just like
I will vote in favor of Prop 8, but I will not be led into the terror of what “might” happen if we lose, I will not be led to trust in our power more than God’s and I will not become hard hearted against any people groups that we have chosen to fight “winner take all” legal battles against. Our call is to love sinners, not to crush them under the weight of our Moral Majority power.
I’m sorry to lay all this out, but I am weary of the doomsday prophesies. Even if God’s judgment is on
If they tell me I have to marry homosexuals or lose my tax exempt status? Well then I’m REALLY going to have to get humble and pray for an outpouring of God’s mercy, and that call would go out to a good God…
I appreciate your heart. Please hear my words in great love for what you are doing here. Just let me say “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s” but don’t give to Caesar what is God’s. Be free to NOT feel pressured to worry about this election. I have a heavily vested interest in the outcome of an election in Fresno, as some of you may know, but I tell you right now, if the outcome of that race is not what I desire, God will STILL be God and His plan will NOT be thwarted. Yet will I cry out for Him to move in the Valley as He has promised.
Please, be at peace, November 4 is NOT the end of the world. It is a call to the church to Advance the Kingdom, not work harder for a political party or build a better political action committee…
I love what you guys are chasing on here – don’t be so distracted – RUN, HE IS GREATLY ON THE MOVE!!! God’s Holy Spirit will change
With great love for the body, particularly those chasing the new wine,
