Rules of Engagement


Greetings, Brother and Sisters,
I prayer that you, God's Elect and most precious jewels, would grow stronger and stronger in the faith of Jesus Christ, continuing instant in the love of the brotherhood and all who call on the name of the Lord according to the truth of the gospel. Today, I would like to continue with our topic on how we should engage this current system of the Beast by the wisdom of God.

In an era of modern lynching of young black men, mass public surveillance, drone strikes, and perpetual warfare in the name of fighting terror there are wicked men ,who like wolves and evil lions lurk in dark places seeking whom they may destroy ( Ps. 10:8-10). These wicked men in the form of dictators and oppressors continue to have no care for the lives of the poor, which they destroy daily.  They care for no one but their own agenda and interest, much less the saints of the Most High. And some people have joined forces with them thinking that they will be safe from their evil claws and fangs. But we, brethren, are not like the majority, who through ignorance, fear, and disobedience to God have made a covenant with Death; hoping to escape the evil that now is and is coming on earth ( Isaiah 28:15). We are the minority in Christ, who reject any agreement with this system of oppression and darkness choosing rather to walk in the light of Christ. This light is our wisdom, in this current system, that calls to remembrance his words, " Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves (Matt. 10:16)."  It is by the wisdom of God that we will be able to engage these Beasts and be victorious (Isaiah 33:6).

 In order to  confront dictators and global governments we need to understand God's instructions first. We must consider how to carry out our mission of preaching this gospel uncompromisingly in all the world ( Matt. 28:18-20) according to His word or else we will fail. Our success is dependent upon our ability to abide in God and skillfully apply the wisdom of His word ( Eph. 6:10-13).

The first thing we must understand is that, according to the Bible, there is no power on earth or in heaven but God: the powers-those in rulership and positions of influence, are appointed or established by God (Romans 13:1). It is God that create governments and appoint leaders, both the good and the bad (Isaiah 45:7). For example, He established David's kingdom in old Jerusalem and will establish the new Jerusalem by Jesus Christ (1 Samuel 16:1,13-14, Luke 22:29). It was God who put in motion the world empires, starting with Babylon and proceeding on through history to today's American new world order (Daniel 7:1-7, 15-17). He dose all things for His divine purpose (Isaiah 14:24), which will lead to the final confrontation with evil (Rev. 11:15-18). The empires of these nations were created to bring evil to it's fullest potential, which will usher in the last judgment of the wicked and the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth ( Dan. 2:44, 2 Esdras 11:36-46 ).

Brothers and Sisters, let us who put our hope in God seek his word continually so that we may be able to stand in these evil days. It is only by the word of God that we will avoid errors as we engage this system. We can not blindly agree with it, nor foolishly try to resist it by our own devices. We have to go about it the way God wants us to. We most remember the lessons from the Bible. In the time of the Romans, the Hebrews were under Roman rulership. They had three roads they could follow to cope with Rome. A religious road with the Pharisees, which focus on individual righteousness to the point of detachment from things spiritual in God's word. The road of the Zealots, which saw Rome as the great oppressor that can and most be overcome by open resistance. They believed this to the point of being completely blind to the fact that God had establish the Romans for his purpose. They never considered that to resist the powers that be with open war is to resist the ordinance of God. The third road open to the Hebrews was the road Jesus Christ walked on and lead. Those that followed him on this road saw beyond the physical and understood that the spiritual realm controlled the physical world.  They understood that God was in control and to be victorious meant to gain wisdom and understanding of  God's will by his word, so that they may be able to reach their final destination: the Kingdom of God. Therefore, let us, today, choose the right path and follow Him: Matt. 11:27-30. This road is not an easy road, but it is the only one that brings hope and a true reward. Christ urges us to choose it and live, Matt. 7:13-14.

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