IT'S NOT MIDNIGHT

 

Ebook available via Smashwords

NETTIE-ISM: I was praying about the election fiasco the USA finds itself in and the Christian response. I have to take a step away from Facebook from time to time because the comments are very discouraging. 

I firmly believe it si God’s will that Donald J Trump remain President. I also believe that the Democrats with their liberal / socialist ideology are trying to steal the election and they have positioned people in places to make sure they can do so successfully, BUT GOD! 

How many Believers have made plans and God has changed them? Do we think that an omnipotent God cannot change the plans of the unBeliever? 

I was praying, prior to writing this, and the thought came to me: “And at midnight.”

What happened, biblically, at midnight?

Exodus 12:29 (King James Version) 

 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 

Acts 16:25-26 (King James Version) 

25  And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 

26  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. 

Quite a few things happened at midnight. Why is this important? In Exodus Pharaoh thought he had won and the children of Israel were totally dependent on God- they had no idea how He was going to save them. In Acts Paul and Silas were bound in prison, they had no idea what was going to happen to them. In Exodus the children of Israel were saved by the blood which had been place over their door post. In Acts Paul and Silas were delivered because they chose to worship God. 

Nothing happened in the day when all could see. Nothing happened in the evening time as people were finishing their work. Something happened when people assumed it was over. Egypt and the prisoners were quiet; tomorrow was another day.

Matthew 25:5-6 (King James Version) 

5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 

6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 

“They all slumbered and slept” no one expected anything else to happen and that is when it happened. 

Many of us have been praying and praying for this country. We have petitioned God to deliver America from the hands of demonic forces, Satan. Some people are losing hope others are walking wounded. 

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (King James Version) 

8  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 

9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 

10  Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 

Spiritual battles are not easy, especially one that has such high stakes. The only way to endure is to keep your eyes on Jesus. 

Hebrews 12:1-3 (King James Version) 

1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 

2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 

3  For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 

This is the season of Advent, a time in which we remember the anticipation of His coming and the birth of our Lord and Savior. Let’s not be like those who could not believe because he was born in a manger and not in a palace. Let us not not doubt His authority because He lived as a man, or His ability because He was seen as the Carpenter’s son. We must remember that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived as a man, was crucified and died and on the third day rose again. We must remember who He is and who we are in Him.

The question becomes:  Do you believe Joe Biden will become President because the Democrats are better at cheating and the creator of heaven and earth just cannot handle it? Do you believe God has been weakened by the intelligence of the Democrats? Do you really believe that God would allow a group of people who are anti-Israel, anti-Christianity, pro-abortion, and pro-same sex unions to cheat their way into office?

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because their were no righteous in the entire community, Lot was allowed to escape. There are many Believers in America and it is not midnight yet. 

Keep praying.
