"Here Is Their Saul"

 The following was a Facebook post from a Pastor friend of mine.  While some may disagree, I think some out there will find this post plucking at that heart strings that has been grieved since the election.  Forgive the spelling or grammatical errors as I assume this post was probably written in a rush and possibly on a cell phone. 

 Regardless of what party you are for; Republican, Democratic or other, I want to share with everyone what God spoke to me in prayer. My prayer was, "Lord you know our future so regardless of who wins this election, I want to make sure I am doing my part in service to you!" "I am not responsible for the actions of others only my own." As I was sitting their watching the votes come in, the announcement

 came and at the moment I heard that President Obama was re-elected the Lord said to me, "Here is their Saul, but don't lose heart, my redemption draws near!" I pondered on this Word and was taken back as I recognized that, as David grew in popularity, Saul grew in anger and even tried to kill David. I am speaking Biblical, right now at this moment we are living in a divided nation. One could speculate that the time President Obama realizes that he can't get the support of the entire nation, he will burn with anger and enforce that "if you don't support me you will reap the consequences". (From an article I read today) "All through the Bible we see God set up kings for a purpose, and take them down for a purpose. Sometimes God will raise up a ruler to bless His people, like He did with King David. And sometimes He sets up a ruler by whom the people will be judged, as He did with Saul." As of today, we are a nation that is drowning in a debt so large that it numbers, nearly 20 trillion now, but it seems no one cares. Each year nearly 400,000 babies are executed for convenience’s sake, but our processes of electing leaders are solely based on what they can give me instead of electing them on biblical values. We have no respect for God’s word; Sunday is treated like any other day of the week. Even if we believe it, we dare not speak out loud that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven as the bible declares Him to be. We have lost the ability to discern between good and evil. We expose children to endless ads for alcohol and tobacco. Our society is saturated in sex and violent imagery. Nearly half of all the movies made in the last 10 years have a demonic theme to them. We wouldn’t know God if He showed up in any of our churches, and neither would we want Him to be there." Christian hear my heart, I want to encourage you to stand firm in the principles of God and pray for our nation and her leaders. I am not writing this to argue political views! I am writing this in hope to awaken God's people in view that if we are not grounded in God's principles we will be easily uprooted. So, to set it straight, President Obama is not our enemy or the problem for that matter. The problem lies within the hearts of the American People. We voted him in because he is the manifestation of what is inside our hearts as a nation. He is the embodiment of our spiritual dysfunction, the living, breathing representation of our disdain for the commandments of the Holy God of Israel. If we want to see the America our founding forefathers fought, bleed and died for, we need to look within ourselves and turn our OWN heart back to God again. Jesus said the end would come as it did in the “days of Noah”. You can see the Ark in front of you, and you can almost feel that first raindrop begin to fall. In your heart you know what’s coming. I beg you to run into the Ark of Safety! All that is important now is your salvation! It doesn't matter if you like the President or not! What matters is when the trumpet of God sounds and Jesus splits those Eastern skies to call us home you find yourself with the Lord forever more! The sad truth is when those who were given multiple chances to follow Jesus but chose to ignore it, find themselves crying out for another chance but there will be none to give. In closing, when you live your life selfishly you will reap eternal judgment but when you live for Jesus you will reap eternal life in heaven. It is a choice you have to make personally. By our own actions we will chose Hell or Heaven. Listen, Jesus is coming soon to take with him those who chose to serve him. I pray you are one of those! I end with this; As for me and my house we will serve the Lord!!!
