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.

Praise Break: Hymn of Breakthough

 I have been in a time of Worship and Praise since early this morning and for the last 3 hours I've been listening to Israel Houghton's Feels Like Home. It has been blessing me. But the very last song was the Hymn of Breakthough. There has been such a shift in my mindset, in my expectancy of God in the last almost 20 days. I'm expecting a breakthough or even breakthrough. The lyrics say, I hear the sound of breakthough, my breakthrough is here. Everything that I need You supply. Every promise of Heaven is mine. But the words that spoke to my spirit, I am healed, I am free God has spoken I agree My breakthrough is here God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. Let the words follow over you, let in seep to you Soul so that you know, God has a breakthrough for. No matter what you are going through, no matter the sitution. God said, God said your breakthrough is here. Stand i...

2022 is the Year of Free

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.           - 2 Corinthians 3:17 Last year's word was birth and God delivered on that word but not in the way I expected. I thoguht there was to be a new business or revenue stream, a new home, or some other tangible things birthed in this season. However God was saying, Damaris I'm going to birth a new you. In the last quarter of this year I have seen God do an amazing work in my life. It wasn't physical, material things. I haven't moved, still living in my parents house. I don't have a new business, in fact I haven't been able to dedicate the time I wanted to the business I have. I don't have a new revenue stream either but God has kept me and my family which has been a blessing. Instead, He birthed a new mindset, a new outlook, peace and trust in Him. He birthed a new and deeper relationship with Him. He birthed forgiveness and healing in my soul that I have never had.  So ...

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...
