The last time that I checked, our country was still The United States of America, right? USA and proud of it. Lately it seems to be a different story in our country. It seems that certain people want us to believe that we are becoming a divided nation. Division on race, politics, gender, etc. etc. To me that is just what Satan wants. He wants us to be divided and fighting against each other. He does what ever he can to distract us from Jesus and His truth. Satan is the father of lies.
John 8:44 Amplified Bible
44 You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths.
So in our fleshly nature people believe the lies of the enemy. People believe the lies and hatred that he spews towards all humanity, no matter race, creed or social standing.
Luke 11:17-20 The Message
17Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Any country in civil war for very long is wasted. A constantly squabbling family falls to pieces.
We as Christians know better than to believe that garbage.
John 14:6 Amplified Bible
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Christ wants us to be unified. Standing together as one.
Psalm 133:1 New International Version
1 How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
So my challenge to you all is this. Let's do our best to combat the enemy who is trying to drive us apart and have us fight each other. Let's put on the full armor of God and go into battle.
Ephesians 6:12 New Living Translation
12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
