"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." Romans 13:1
Normally I do not write articles on political figures or politics, however today I make an exception. In the United States Of America the order of law is upheld by the United States Supreme Court who uphold the Constitution Of The United States. It is these nine Justices who define what the Constitution is and how the laws of America are bound to the Constitution. It is this court who forces those who would violate the Constitution to stop. Since it is the President who appoint the replacement of the departing justice, then President Obama would appoint Justice Antonin Scalia's replacement. However, it is the United States Senate who must confirm the selection of the President. Since it is now February and an election year and the process takes month's, Majority Leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell has said that the appointment of Justice Antonin Scalia's replacement should wait on the next President elected and takes office in January. Senate Mitch McConnell has this right since the Republican Party controls the Senate and sets the agenda. I do not know if most people understand this death and how it affects the way things are done in America. If the court goes from 5 - 4 Conservative to 5 - 4 Liberal it will affect the everyday way we all live day to day. There are a lot of things we enjoy as free American that could change by this swing, for example our freedom to worship as we please is protected by the Constitution's first amendment, also our freedom to speak as we please, and many other freedoms that churches and other religions enjoy that could be reduced or forbidden by a new Liberal Court. The right to have guns could be in jeopardy by a new Liberal Court. There is one ultimate fact, and that is the next year in politics just got very interesting by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. This will be the worst fought election in the history of America with so much in the balance of the outcome. This could now be the single election that billions upon billions of dollars are spent on to win the outcome. It may be the deciding factor on the churches in America in so many ways that we simply cannot name them all. But, however the outcome, God is in charge, and this is His blessed will. I cannot tell you how this will come out in the end, but one thing is for sure it is going to be nasty for America. I am asking all Christians, churches, and others of faith to pray about this matter. Beloved our existence as Christians hangs in the balance. If you never get involved in the voting process, then now is the time to get involved. I know that so many Christians do not vote, but do not let this election pass without voting. It is time for all Christians and churches to pull together and vote to save Christians from Liberalism controlling the court. Folks, this is not time for leaving it up to someone else, this is the time for Christians to fight for our freedom and maybe even our existence as churches. We trust in the Lord and the outcome will certainly be the Lord's will. Let us all be in prayer and do not stop until the outcome is settled. "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17 We know that God is taking the world into the tribulation period and it appears to be closely at hand. While I have enjoyed the thought of the Lords return, we fail to remember the tribulation period follows His return. With this said we also fail to understand that the Lord will spend time setting the world up for that time and we as believers may suffer great persecution before that great and terrible time for the world. No matter the thought behind it, let us all be in much prayer and make our request know to God for mercy and grace in the upcoming days. "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (27.) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (28.) And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:26 - 28
