WOW: Pastor Lorenzo Sewell BREATHES FIRE on the lies keeping the church out of politics:
“[The Devil] wants you to think politics is about people and personalities and parties—that has nothing to do with politics. Politics is all about resources.
And the reason why the enemy does not want the church in politics—because he knows that if we get resources, we will point people to *the* source. We will be able to give them the gospel. We’ll be able to tell people about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Please hear me, y’all. There is nothing more confrontational than the gospel.”
Church: wake up! Genesis 1:28 (NLT) says “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and GOVERN it.” That’s not a command to the king or the pope but to all mankind.
Jesus said upon the rock of his messianic lordship he would build his “ekklesia”—an assembly of servant leaders to administer justice and good works.
Galatians 5:1 says “it is for freedom that Christ has set us free”—and the Founders built a democratic constitutional republic to secure our God-given liberties, instituting a government by our consent with We the People as the citizen-sovereign. We are in charge—as God authorized us in Genesis 1:28. American freedom (secured through the body politic!) is our sacred gift to steward and teach to our children.
James 4:17 says “Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”
Refusing to vote is sin. Neglecting to steward our gift of liberty and self-government in a free country is sin, and this sin over decades has accrued enormous consequences.
2 Chronicles 7:14 says “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
God said “if my people”—that’s YOU, and nobody else can do it for you. You and I must be the ones to repent of these sins within the church of cowardice and disobedience—so now let us humble ourselves and pray, seek God’s face, and rise up to embrace our calling as courageous leaders (voters!) in this land of liberty, that we may partner with God in agreement to see His will be done “on earth, as it is in heaven.”
Politics is not “just for politicians” anymore than church is “just for pastors.” You may not be called to run for office yourself (though we need a lot more Christians to do that!) but ALL of us must engage to become educated and vote according to biblical values in both local and national elections.
Almost HALF of “Christians” fail to vote—if we correct even a fraction of that, we’ll restore the liberty AND morality of our nation with incredible speed and strength!
