The Last King God Chose Was Jesus

 No elected leader in the US or otherwise was handpicked by God. Especially not Donald Trump.

Truth be told God never wanted us to have a King or President or Prime Minister or Emperor or any other Ruler to begin with. So the very idea that God is picking presidents for a nation (the US) that is not the children or Israel, a nation that didn't exist when the convenent God made with the children of Israel was enacted is a level of mental gymnastics that quite honestly is equal parts impressive and sad. 

The fact of the matter is: The children of Israel looked around and saw that their other counterparts had Kings and so they asked God for one. He didn't want them to have one but He loved them and He obliged them.

That doesn't mean that God is still picking kings.

The last King God chose was Jesus. Jesus is the King of ALL Kings. The Lord of ALL Lords. There is no need for another because... 

NEWSFLASH: Our King is still ALIVE!

This idea that God has chosen Donald Trump or any other Republican leader to be our president that the American evangelical church is subscribing to at the moment, runs completely counter to what the Word of God says.

So what does it say?

That Jesus is the last and forever King and that through acceptance of the Holy Spirit we become the called. 

God always sent a prophet to anoint the next king of Israel. That was the purpose of Jesus's baptism. John the Baptist was the prophet, the one who forshadowed Jesus's coming, To anoint him. The final King. Mark 1: 9-11

How do you know if someone is called? The Holy Spirit. Just like when the Holy Spirit came down from Heaven in the above scripture when Jesus was baptised, acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior activates the Holy Spirit to come down and live in your heart. In that instant you become the called by God and that is final. Romans 8:30; Romans 11:29

You can't pray the Holy Spirit into or over someone. The Holy Spirit is activated upon your acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 6:20,21  tells us,

 Avoid the talk-show religion and the practiced confusion of the so-called experts. (MSG)

Jesus is King. That is who God anointed. Igonre the pundits who want to get on TV and say what is counter to the Word of God. Be anchored in the Word in order to be able to identify truth and falsehoods.

Fact: Any king that is chosen by man or whose position is taken by force is flawed. They have not been anointed by God.

We are tasked by God to pray for ALL people and ALL of our leaders or those in position above us, from the President to our boss. But what are we to be praying for? Peace and their salvation. Praying that their hearts will be open to God. 

The decisions they make will affect us and we want to live in peace. God's desire for us is to live in peace. Praying that their agenda goes forth is the wrong prayer. Our prayer should ALWAYS be that God's will be done and that our leaders be led by God. That is what 1 Timothy 2:1-6 says, because God desires "all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" of salvation.

So the Last King God chose was Jesus and he is the King of All Kings and he is still alive. The End.

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Expectation in God

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour...
