​America that we once knew is no more due to two factors.

1. Many white liberal women have been successful in helping vote into office officials who support and are pushing socialist/communist agendas through the Democratic Party and men and women of the Muslim faith. 
2. The continue silence of most church members who have not been taught from the pulpit the importance of understanding the operation of our political system and its candidates, as well as our active participation in it. Our King, Jesus Christ, operates and oversees a political government (political Kingdom) from His throne in heaven. When He returns to reestablish His government (Kingdom), what will He find? A church that has become compromised because they do not see the value of not only getting involved in politics but teaching about it from a scriptural standpoint from the pulpit.

 
Right now, we have too many members of the Church who are walking into darkness in and around the political arena because too many cannot hear accurately from GOD concerning the political agenda and affairs of the world, because too many of us have been programmed to believe there is a separation between Church and State. Therefore, we have believed the lie that Christians should not be openly involved in politics. 

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!

POLITICAL EFFORT TO ISLAMIFY THE UNITED STATES

U.S. Congressman Chip Roy of Texas said it well at a recent Lower House meeting. He spoke about other individuals with whom he stood on stage, and how many of them on that stage had worn the U.S. uniform to fight for this nation against radical Islamic members who wanted to destroy this country and Western civilization. Then he explained the difference between fighting these forces in another country and fighting them today. He stated that even though we are fighting the same war against these radicals, today it is a war within the boundaries of the United States. They are attempting to destroy our country from within.

SHARIA LAW

I won’t spend a lot of time going over the ins and outs of Sharia Law. But we do need to touch basic information for this discussion.

Sharia Law is the moral, ethical, and religious instructions that guide the lives of those who practice the Muslim faith. It covers anything from prayer, fasting, and dietary choices to business ethics, marriages, and community conduct.

Its daily guidance comes from the Quran, which Muslims believe it comes directly from the words of their god.

Why should all Americans, especially Christians, fight against the enactment of such a law? Because if implemented in the United States as national or state civil law, it would fundamentally alter America’s legal system, political environment, and daily life. The United States Constitution would no longer exist. Our First Amendment rights that prohibit the government from establishing an official religion would be overridden and repealed. Our freedom of worship would no longer be an option because we would be required to convert to the Islam faith or die. We will be required to know and live under the standards and traditions enforced by Sharia Law. The Holy Scriptures and all other religious content will not be allowed, and the Quran will become the official Bible. Freedom of speech will be eliminated because such expression would be deemed blasphemous and even apostasy. The list of laws and regulations would impact our entire life. This country will no longer be America, but a Muslim state, and all the freedoms as we know them today will be a thing of the past.

HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS RESPOND

I need to quote one scripture here, and then we need to talk about what Jesus meant when He stated those words.

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”
 
The part we need to focus on in this verse is, “…the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”

My brothers and sisters of the Christian faith, this day has arrived. We can no longer sit back idle and compromised in our faith and not respond to the political atmosphere and spiritual warfare that is occurring in our nation.

Let’s come back to Matthew. We need to look at two more scriptures—Luke 19:13 and Matthew 28:19–20. It is ideal to read the entire chapters, but for the sake of this discussion, we will only look at specific verses.

At Luke 19:13, it reads:

And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come (KJV).

The New King James Version reads, “…do business till I come.” After addressing His twelve disciples, Jesus went to teach and preach in the cities. At some point, Jesus turns His attention to the multitudes present and begins to speak about John the Baptist.

When you read verses seven through thirteen, Jesus refers to the nonreligious system of John and the confrontational stand the Kingdom message of GOD makes by means of violence whenever it has to oppose human status quo.

Jesus speaks of how GOD’s Kingdom message refuses to dance to the music of society’s expectations that are often dressed up in the name of religion or dead worldly (man‑made) traditions. We have to come to the understanding and acceptance that Jesus is speaking about political and military warfare in these few verses. (Also see Matthew 10:34–39; Luke 12:49–53; and John 18:36.)

Now, let’s be clear. The upheaval of GOD’s Kingdom message spoken by Jesus is not caused by political provocation or armed advance. But it is a result of GOD’s divine shaking up relationships, households, cities, and nations by the power of Holy Spirit working through His people. This is what Jesus meant by His words when He said, “…occupy (or do business) till I come.”

We as Christians are expected to use our resources, platforms, gifts, talents, authority, and anointing to keep ourselves busy doing all the necessary works of the Kingdom of GOD. This definitely does not describe someone sitting idle in a compromised state, waiting on the Lord’s return, especially when there are far too many lost souls and territories that are lost to the kingdom of darkness. There is obviously much work that needs to be done, which requires all Christians to occupy their respective regions until the Lord’s return.

Matthew 28:19–20 puts it this way:

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

That simple word, “Go,” is such a powerful command to all of Jesus’ disciples. The Greek word for “Go” is poreuō, which means to lead or carry over, or to pursue. The Merriam‑Webster Dictionary defines it as to move in a particular way or direction, or for a particular purpose. I am sure our Lord God, Jesus Christ, did not raise up this country as a Christian nation only to see it fall to a radical nation like the Muslim faith because the church and its leaders failed to:

• Properly prepare GOD’s people for this current political environment;
• Refuse to properly fulfill their commission at Matthew 28:19–20 by coming out of the churches into the public arena and going and making disciples of the nations;
• GOD’s people are failing to occupy until the Lord’s return.

The uprising of the Muslim faith and the implementation of its master plan—their Brotherhood Plan—to take down America is because:
​

• The church isn’t occupying;
• The church isn’t leading non‑Christians to the Way; instead, they are preaching and teaching to each other within the walls of the church;
• The church isn’t confronting these false gods as Christians once did in the Bible, as Joshua did against Jericho, as Moses did against Pharaoh, and as Elijah who confronted the prophets of Baal.
