Bowing To The World.

“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

It is true that all powers that be, are ordained of God. It is also true that all world leaders that sit in ruler ship of the world are ordained of God. We are as believers in Jesus Christ subject to the powers that be. However that is; we are not to simply agree with the world! We live in a world that Satan controls and will control until Jesus Christ takes that authority away during the millennium period. And while we are subject to the law’s that be, this does not mean we are to simply bow down to every law they make. We are not to accept laws that disobey the scriptures, we are not to obey laws that subject Christians to the lost mans desire. Peter told us in Acts 5:29 “…We ought to obey God rather than men.” We are followers of God first and just because God causes something or allows something to be, does not mean it is good for us to be a part of it. The scriptures are our law and rule in this life, and lost people are not interested in what they say. Abortion is legal in America however it is still murder and God still says we are not to murder. God told Adam in regards to his sin; “… Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;” Genesis 3:17 God told us as Christians to give the world what belongs to them, but unto God what is due Him, and all of our allegiance belongs to Him. Sin is sin regardless of who we blame it on. 1 Samuel 15:24 says “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.” We simply cannot obey the voice of the world and blame our stupidity on the other person. I believe Adam did that and God did not accept it. If we as Christians obey the voice of the world then we will be punished with the world. God has a purpose for all things He does and He is not a one size fits all God. What God does with this world is not always for His saved servants. This world is heading toward the tribulation period and we as Christians are not because Christ will catch us out before it starts. And while we must suffer through all the bad because it rains of the just and unjust, we do not always have to accept the will of God for the world as His will for us Christians. Abortion is legal but not for Christians therefore we must stay away for abortions. So when religious leaders such as the SBC or any other source tell us we must accept something as Gods will and not fight against it, they could not be more wrong. Any Christian that surrenders to the laws of the world as the laws of God for us is wrong. We are to always obey Gods Holy Script and nothing else, ever. Folks, God is the commander of all things, His blessed will is always accomplished. He controls every detail of everything, and He is never off duty or on vacation. Why God allows something or causes something does not mean we know His purpose in doing it. We are to accept what happens as Gods will, but it is not always His will for us His children. Do not ever accept anything as Gods will for us just because it is his will for a lost and dying world. Always obey Gods blessed word and nothing else.
