Has the Church lost in these past elections?



Many people might think so, because there are many issues that affect it in the new changes that will take place by the previous administration which had God’s permission to keep on benefiting themselves while the fortress Christians built is still up. Some people also think that many churches will lose because they are giving the wrong message, like the one of “prosperity”, for instance. God will not tolerate a lie using His name as a bait to get publicity.  Paul said to the Galatians: I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel . . . But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed. (Galatians. 1: 6, 8). Some “Christian organizations” even pray for only the ones who send them money or buy their goods. They are doing the same as the ones who sold the indulgences. Perhaps worse, for the richness is not for the church in general, but for the ONE in particular, writer, owner of business, or administrative head of a congregation, which basks in luxury. Others think that God is punishing the Church by permitting the nation that always caressed it to be ruined, as every other great power that ever existed. And whose fault is it? It is ours, for not educating ourselves enough with God’s Word. Do you think the world’s problems are new? They are as old as Adam and Eve and we are simply living its consequences now, reason why we should study the Word because.  All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field . . . the grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. (Isaiah 40:6, 8)
The Church of Christ, and I mean the real one that preaches the gospel as Jesus did, and wants the goodness for everyone, despite their way of thinking, for it wants to spread the Good News to everyone so they can be saved eternally; that Church does not need the Power nor does what other institutions hidden under its name do, that is to be on the side that will give them the most benefit, like many non Christian people who invested in death. The Church is vulnerable because it is made of humans, but if they are really imbibed in the word of God, they are not blind to what will happen in the future, because it’s all there in the Bible.

The real church is “you and I”. We, the people of God, who will endure, as always have, the scoff and the mockery of all those who voted for liberalism despite the warnings of the Lord. We, who preach and model The Word of God and Trust in Him, know that
“The Lord will execute His Word on the earth, thoroughly and quickly.” And just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left to us a posterity, we would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah” (Romans 9:28-29)

No, the Church has not lost. The church Christ established never loses for it opens the eyes to the blind and receives them with love, if even when having voted for death, many shall run to it. As it happened in my country of birth, where the churches are full of many who once persecuted them, and now they seek refuge in them for they become victims when they realize the dishonesty they were involved with. That is why I say the Church of Christ does NOT suffer any loss, on the contrary, it becomes stronger as people realize they were in the wrong front. Legalizing independence from God is a method of the Antichrist, which will fail as it always has. Do not worry, for God will defend the Church with all His might, as it is His bride.
 I would like to finish with the words of the first stanza of a hymn I learned by heart many years ago. Number 500 in the old Presbyterian hymnal:

        God is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year.
        God is working His purpose out as the time is drawing near
        Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be
       When the earth shall be filled with the Glory of God
        Like the waters cover the sea.

And remember, whether you believe on Him or not. All knee shall bend and proclaim Christ Lord of All.
