Repentance

Scripture

I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

~Acts 20:21, NIV

Quote

Repentance is the act of exchanging the lie that holds us captive for the truth that sets us free.

I have a lot of thoughts during my prayer time. I made a commitment to the LORD to pray for whoever was elected as president and with all the uncertainty, I really don’t know who that we be. Although my hope has been renewed the past few days, the question remains, how can I pray sincerely for a democrat? How do you pray for a democrat? I pray for Jimmy Carter quite often, believe it or not, and I pray for his soul’s salvation. I pray that he will repent before his time expires. As I was praying for him, I had some strange thoughts. I thought about Jeremiah 7:16, Pray no more for these people, Jeremiah. Do not weep or pray for them, and don’t beg me to help them, for I will not listen to you.” There is no record of any Sadducee repenting ever–we are talking about the money-hungry-power-mongering Jews who profit from everything from abortion to wars. Some Pharisees repented and Paul was one of them but no Sadducee repented on record. When was the last time a democrat repented? When did you last here one praise Jesus? Zacchaeus was a rich Jew but he was not a Sadducee. Paul said in Ephesians, “Their wits are beclouded, they are strangers to the life that is in God, because ignorance prevails among them and their minds have grown hard as stone.” {Eph. 4:18, NEB}

Unfortunately for us, Carter, Clinton and Gore all claimed to be Southern Baptist at one time. Since the reforms have hijacked the SBC, being a Southern Baptist doesn’t mean what it once did. Our convention is being run by a group of “Never Trumper” which is code for “Trump Haters.”They are the PRO-LIFER but group. They are as pro-life as a Nazi is pro-Israel. But when it comes to being a Baptist as we think of a Baptist in North Alabama–Carter, Clinton and Gore were a disgrace. One of my former pastors, said in public while I was in the audience, “My claim to fame is that I baptized Al Gore, Jr. and Jack Bailey.” After the service, I told him that I did not think it was wise to mention the fact that he baptized the two of us. The mention of my name was a joke but Gore is not a trophy to be prized. Until the LORD tells me to stop, I will pray for the democrats. I cling to the hope that nothing is impossible with God. Imagine Slick Willy as a converted evangelist–think about his testimony. Think about the power of his confession; the number of women he has slept with and the number of opponents he has had eliminated. You have to admit, his testimony could hold an audience spell bound for hours.

Biden and Harris may be the face of the party but they are not the brains. The democrats are lead by highly intelligent people. They have been planning this debacle for years, at least three. Nothing was a coincidence, it is all a part of diabolical scheme to get Trump out of the White House because he is a threat to them all, the Shelby’s, the bureaucrats {parasites} and all the inept federal agencies that suck up tax money and give us nothing in return. The only member of the conspiracy that shocked me was FOX NEWS. I never dreamed they would betray our president. Fox has gone through a lot of changes in the past decade and even last three years. They can no longer claim the title of conservative. They have betrayed conservatism.

Keep it mind: the crucifixion of Christ was a horrible day and weekend for the Disciples. They saw no possible way God could bring good out of this atrocity, but He did!

Sorry for the long blog or the political rant. I feel better but today I have a headache which is not unusual but if I take something for the head, the stomach hurts. No trouble breathing yet but it may come, the congestion will not let go. Stayed up half the night coughing. Evidently, this thing hangs on longer than the flu and on old folks. Holly was better of day four and I was too but I did a little yard work and that may have set me back.

Hope you have a great day and we will try to stay off politics tomorrow.
