Stand on God’s Word
For the scepter of wickedness
shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out
their hands to iniquity.
Psalm 125.3
Dear England and The West at Large
One of the most powerful verses in the biblical text grants power to God’s people to reclaim their territory when conquered by a foreign entity. I have believed God on this verse concerning my own personal territory, (or domain, which is any area or place that we as children of God inhabit), and the Lord has moved swiftly on my behalf. We’re entrusted with the responsibility to manage the kingdom that is allotted to us as children of God. We represent His Kingdom and as such, it should be a priority to guard it spiritually. This is clear based up the Parable of the Talents and the responsibilities given to Adam from the very beginning. I’ll elaborate in a moment.
Let God’s People Not Forsake Him, Or Betray The Call
When we leave things unattended we forsake them along with our responsibilities that God has given us. The West has left her God and the more I look into history the more I know God chose a people to conquer the territories that were once barbaric and ungodly – how else could Rome have fallen? We tend to look at all the societal/cultural/financial factors that lead to a nation’s demise and forget what God said in Deuteronomy 8 which lays out exactly what is happening to the West.
We forget that it is God who gives us power to get wealth. The enormous wealth we have been blessed with has been used selfishly and hoarded greedily. Let the world have their day and envy not those who are rich and evil who suffer not. They will earn their due reward. But God will discipline His own that we might be fashioned after His Son to do good in the earth.
When God is Removed, Evil Takes Opportunity
Scientists look at human pollution and over fishing to explain why the sea and its creatures are dying. But it is our turning away from God that causes the lack. The U.S. has turned viciously upon God and biblical principles, we have left our Universities unattended which raise up whole generations, and so we are reaping what we’ve sown. The scepter of wickedness took opportunity and claimed ground. We are trying to take back lost ground through academies like this one; let’s pray it’s not too late.
Look at the Wall Street bankers, wretchedly greedy and leaving no edges to the crops they plow for the poor – the spread on Prime rates is exorbitant, even criminal. They do not think about God’s people, or the people of the earth at all. And God will judge them.
Look at who has become the mayor of their city….a Communist. Either we turn back to God or this warning will become far more than a signal. It will become an entrenched reality.
God Needs Managers
In Genesis 2.4 God says something uniquely pertinent to the role and responsibility of mankind. The text says that God had not allowed it to rain because there was no one to till the ground. He needed someone to manage the ground and prepare it for what He was about to release before He could release it. Rain is often associated with abundance, blessing, life and thriving. Let us fashion ourselves into the kind of people willing to get behind the plow and till the ground in preparation for what God will release. This process can be painstaking and involves discipline.
I assure you, there is nothing that will streamline me more than a solid purpose in God. This is how I live. And He understands me. He is the only One I will shed everything else for and He knows me better than anyone else. He allows me to be me, knowing that I am fully dedicated and faithful to Him. He knows my weaknesses and how to manage them for His love is enduring and never fails.
Even in the darkest of nights, when the ground lay dormant and untilled, God is doing the work on the inside of your heart. Even when you think you are going backwards, your dedication, loyalty and faithfulness will grip Him and move Him on your behalf. The Book of Job is a reminder of God’s faithfulness to His loyal servants. Is it not the Spirit of God rising in the hearts of man that gives us courage to face the day?
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand”.
Declaring the End from the Beginning
God is supernatural. And He is our Father. Think about that for a good long while. We are biological creatures capable of supernatural feats. But only if we remain instep with our Heavenly Father. Anything else is dark, rubbish, and evil – and it will not prevail or remain.
The Scepter of the King of Kings is More Powerful Than All
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we break the scepter of the wicked that has been driven as a stake into our lands. It shall not remain on the land allotted to Your people who are called by Your name. We will not forget You. We will acknowledge You before the nations as a testimony to Your love and faithfulness for all the world to see. Lift Your people out now from under the darkness that we’ve allowed into our borders because of our sin, forgive us and forgive the land that we’ve allowed to be decimated. We have not been watchful or steadfast in Your principles as a nation. We’ve been distracted and pulled aside, we have cowered before our enemies.
Save this country Lord that You have given to us for Your glory. Holy Spirit, imbue us with Your power to spread the Good News to all the world that is sitting in darkness, lost to your understanding. Do not let our enemies tread upon our backs and wipe their feet on all that we hold dear, but deliver us and our land from this evil. We will serve You through the darkness, even if it devours us. We live for You alone Lord, even if it’s to death. Reach out Your hand and bless us once again, turn back the hours on the steps as You did for Hezekiah and may we stand as humble vessels to the glory You are prepared to release through us as the rains across the plains of Africa.
We will till Your ground, the ground You’ve allotted to us personally and as a people across our countries. You have given people for us, you have given nations for us. Give us occasion to honor You and worship You before the nations. Raise up Your people, oh Lord, and may Your Spirit come as a Mighty Rushing Wind upon the Earth.”
Forevermore
