A Rewarder Of Them That Seek After Him.

This was written shortly after the U.S election of 2017   it was posted shortly after the election I wanted to go back again and read it and see the fruit of it today.    Matt 24 is still coming it is what Jesus spoke to us in his word .


             
   A stay of execution    by Michael Boldea Jr.

A stay of execution does not a pardon make. I realize that for the individual being walked up the gallows, feeling the rough noose slipping over his head and feeling it tighten around his neck the distinction is meaningless at best, but once he has had time to process, once he has had time to assess, once he has time to come to terms with the reality that he will live to see another sunrise, eventually, inevitably, he will be confronted with the unyielding reality that sooner or later the walk down the gallows will commence anew, and the feel of the tightening rope will once more be a reality.

What happened in America last night was a stay of execution. It was not a pardon. We must be very clear about this because I know as surely as I am sitting here that the voices will begin to chirp anew insisting that God has somehow forgiven a nation that never repented of its sins, and that He has somehow restored a nation that has never humbled itself. Just because we managed to dodge a protracted, painful, and pernicious suicide by political correctness last night, it does not mean that we have somehow come into fellowship with God anew as a nation.

It simply means that God has shown this nation grace, He has stayed its judgment for a season, and if true change is not evident beginning with the church and sweeping out from there, when next He weighs us, when next He will be called upon to once more decide whether He will stay our execution or allow judgment to be poured forth, we will be judged not only for what we are profoundly guilty of up until this point, but also for the season of grace we will have once again squandered from here on in.

Yes, I do believe last night was an act of sovereign grace. If this election had gone the other way, I am certain we would have been at war with Russia within six months of Madame Chairman Rodham being sworn in, and that the persecution against the household of faith would have been accelerated to a breakneck speed. ­­­

A merciful God has once more shown this nation mercy, and now it is up to us to decide what we will do with the mercy we’ve been given. It is up to us to decide what we will do with the reprieve and stay of execution that was handed down by the Judge of the Universe.

This is just the first of many critical moments we will have to face as a nation, and if you think it will be rainbows and kittens from here on in you are fooling yourself.

So, yes, take a second, breathe a sigh of relief, say a prayer of thanks, enjoy the sunshine on your face, but then roll up your sleeves and get to work. Not tonight, not tomorrow, not next week, not whenever we get around to it and we have nothing left on our agenda.

The countdown clock has already started ticking, and in what will seem like the blink of an eye this nation’s case will once more be up for review. What we do from this point to that will determine whether we still have a future, and whether our stay of execution will once more be extended.

Do I believe that we’ve avoided judgment altogether? No, I do not, but the best we could have ever hoped for was a reprieve, a delay, a season of grace wherein we could return to the purity of simply being about our Father’s business and preaching Jesus unashamedly once more.

We have so much work to do, and time is shorter than we might think.

With love in Christ,

  I believe it is very important to realize that no man can save America or the world.     God can use individuals to accomplish his plans as to the  bring about his will.  Israel had wicked Kings over them in that time  , God always had his way with them also.  Only by the spirit of God can a man be saved , can a man know what is that perfect will of God in their life .  God created man to love him back to see his compassion and his great mercy for those that truly love him .         Heb 11:6 ASV - And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.


 Mar 12:29 ASV - Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
 Greek: heis  One:
"one" in contrast to many, e.g., Mat 25:15; Rom 5:18, RV, "(through) one (trespass)," i.e., Adam's transgression, in contrast to the "one act of righteousness," i.e., the death of Christ (not as AV, "the offense of one," and "the righteousness of one");
Eph 2:15 ASV - having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;
 Mar 15:38 KJV - And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Heb 10:20 ASV - by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Man has a veil between him and God , that is to say his flesh being born of Adam and his curse ,  Jesus dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;   That is why Jesus says we must pick up our cross and follow him .  Crucify the deeds of our flesh we no longer live to the dictates our flesh  .
  
 2Co 4:7 ASV - But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;
2Co 4:8 ASV - we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
2Co 4:9 ASV - pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;
2Co 4:10 ASV - always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
2Co 4:11 ASV - For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

   John 15         I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.   Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.
