Trust In God

Shalam, Brothers and Sisters
I pray that you are continuing to draw closer to God, increasing in faith, in the midst of  spiritually dark places in this world. For it is our Faith/ trust in God through Jesus Christ that will cause us to abide. This trust will allow us to understand the reality around us from a spiritual perspective. Then will we come to the realization that we fight not against flesh and blood (humanity), but against the principalities of the prince of darkness, against powers, the rulers of evil of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places ( Eph. 6:12). Finally, we will come to know and appreciate that the weapons of our warfare are not man-made or carnal, but are mighty through God for the intention of destroying strong holds, which hold the minds and souls of our fellow man  captive by sin ( 2 Cor. 10:4). Thus, obtaining the victory.
However, our victory will come through our obedience to the word of God. It will not come about by trusting in world leaders, global governments, politicians-neither white, black, specific social classes, or ethnic groups. It will not come even by following an African President. We must look to a higher power: God the Father (Ps. 20:7-9). God commands us to not place our hope in man (Is. 2:22).

H. Rap Brown, speaking on the T.V. show Like it is, in the 1970's , exposed the corruptions and evil in the world both then and now-regardless of the race or social class of our politicians.

 

 

At the time of the airing of this show, H Rap Brown eloquently expressed the conditions of the oppressed and the futility of putting one's hope in the system of the oppressor. However, we, as followers of Jesus Christ, must interpret this from a spiritual view point. First, we must understand that all government, good and bad, are established by God  for his purpose(Dan. 2:20-21). Second, we have a responsibility to expose evil to help free others from it's hold and abstain from it ( Eph. 5:11). Third, we are to submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake-whether they be kings, governors, or presidents. We should  abstain from all evil-murder, robbery, rape, and open rebellion ( 1 Peter 2:13-15). We should strive to do good in the midst of evil-help the poor and oppressed, heal the sick, fight to free those unjustly imprisoned, strengthen the weak, and preach the Gospel  ( Romans 12:21). Fourth, we know that true revolution is the transformation of our minds from evil to that which is holy and true by the word of God (Romans 12:2, Eph. 4:22-23). Finally, concerning redemption and salvation the scripture is clear, they come only by the hand of Jesus Christ ( Acts 3:19-22, 1 Cor. 15:24-25). African-Americans, Native Indians, Hispanics, and West Indians will partake of this deliverance when they return to their God as their true identity-the children of Israel, by their savior Christ the Lord ( Acts 5:29-31, Deut. 30:1-3 ). Those who stand with us, from among the nations, in faith, according to the truth of the gospel, are blessed and are fellow citizens with us in New Jerusalem-for there is no partiality with God: he that doeth righteousness is acceptable with him (Acts 10:34-35). The apostle Paul states that, "...therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith  to faith: as it is written the just shall live by faith." (Romans 1:16-17).
The true revolution then is the rebirth of the Israel of God (Gal. 6:15-16) and their departure form Babylon the great and all her sins (Revelation 18:4-5).

Shalam,

May God bless you and keep you till we meet again,

Zarach
