O Lord the God of
Vengeance
What is wrong with this title, it just does not fit our
time, unless you are some backward, uneducated person who clings to your Bible
and your guns. All of the
enlightened acknowledge that God is love, and He’s too busy with keeping world
peace and things like that, to protect or honor His people. But that is not what Psalms 94 states,
and being one who clings to his God, my hope is in the Lord and He will not
forsake His people.
I am sure the enlightened need little help with definition
but bear with me while I help the uneducated, who clings to their Bible and
guns. Vengeance is defined as; “punishment
inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong.” Now
that we have helped the uneducated and myself with that definition, we can move
on to a short list of how we the people of faith have been injured or
wronged. It began when we let some
judge tell us that God had no place in our government, our schools, and the
list could keep going. Now we have
a federal district court Judge, in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Wisconsin, make a ruling that the National Day of Prayer is
unconstitutional.
This is the action I am taking against judges and all
others in our courts and government, I am joining the Psalmist in asking God to
take vengeance on such people and all others who are trying to harm the church
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Listen
to what I am asking: O Lord, God of vengeance, O
God of vengeance, shine forth!
Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they
deserve! O Lord, how long shall
the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers
boast. They crush your people, O
Lord, and afflict your heritage.
They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and
they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
I feel the need to share with the backward, the uneducated
person, who clings to your Bible and your guns, that to join me in this request
to our God only requires prayer on your part. I have been asking for God to open their eyes to “Truth” and
remove the hate they have for His people, but I believe the time has come to
ask God to crush them. But we must
remember the battle is not ours, the battle is the Lord’s, and He does not need
anyone to defend His holy name, He will shine forth. I was encouraged by verses 20-23, “Can
wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute? They band together against the life of
the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock
of my refuge. He will bring back
on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God
will wipe them out.”
I must remind the army of Jesus Christ, that it is not in
our numbers, or our guns, but in our obedience and our prayers that we have
power. The apostle Paul prayed
that those who were causing harm to the church would be emasculated, that means
(helpless or powerless) in Galatians 5:12.
