Well, that got your attention.
Whether you are for them or see them as a hinderance to the expression of modern day love, albeit a perverted one, you can’t go a day without a mention (or rally aka riot) of them.
I liken borders to our hearts. The United States is currently like the man who has no rule over his spirit that we are warned of in the bible. And do you know what happens to him? Well, it goes on to say that every manner of beast comes in and out. Basically, the end of that man is worse than his beginning.
Let that sink in.
Somehow, the love police have decided to partner with generational guilt and anger in order to convince the rest of us to climb down from our watchtowers as citizens of liberty and open the gates to every manner of doctrine, ideology, belief and hinderance to what we value most, liberty.
Just say no.
Let’s turn our attention to our hearts. The walls and gates of our hearts. If you took an inventory of who is seated at the city gate of yours, who would it be? Hope, Sobriety, Forgiveness, Mercy, Truth, Order and Wisdom? OR Anger, Despair, Unforgiveness, Bitterness, Rage, and Fear?
WHO sits at the gate of your city walls of your mind, heart and home? WHO are you serving? We are a slave to liberty or oppression. Only two options and for this black and white girl, that makes things easy. It makes it easy (in theory) to choose which one I will serve.
The master of the former is a loathsome sort. He demands your reaction to every newsflash, every social media post. He leaves you with nothing but feelings.
The latter however, is governed by the God of liberty. The God of peace, joy, righteousness and prosperity. The God who considers it wise and responsible to keep watch at your heart’s gates as well as our nation’s borders. He knows not every being is inspired by the liberty this nation enjoys. He is the God of peace and war. Life and death.
I make no apologies
about where I stand on legal immigration. How could I? I come from a long line of immigrants, including a first generation German mother.
I’ve had to personally check my heart lately. I’ve made the rounds of my city walls to see who is reigning and watching over me. I’ve discovered a few imposters. I refer to them as spiritual squatters. I’ve held a few evictions lately.
See, lawful presence is not legal status in our own national land as well as our spiritual land. Satan’s kingdom only has lawful presence when we take our eyes off of our landlord who bought our land with his blood. He and he alone has legal status to us as his blood bought sons and daughters.
If we live ignorant to this TRUTH, the father of LIES will infiltrate our land and set up shop. We will live reactionary lives instead of the proactive life we’ve inherited from the God of order.
Many men and women of our military fought in wars past to ensure we have a nation of liberty. One clearly flanked by borders. We owe it to the ones who laid down their lives for our nation to unapologetically stand guard, with sober conviction of the necessity for secure borders.
We are a nation of liberty, by the grace of God. We are also a Body of liberty, by that same grace. Do you live according to that truth? Who is ruling and reigning at your city gates?
You may need to call 1-800 Father & Son movers;) I did.
