WE'VE BEEN GOING AROUND THIS MOUNTAIN LONG ENOUGH!

4 decades of the "Moral Majority" era merged with a political party and this is what it has come to? 
"You looked for much but it came to nothing. Why says the Lord of hosts? Because I did blow on it."
But the Lord is offended by our political "righteousness." Why is it that we can rally around a political party giving undeserved honor to that entity for 40 years but have not given honor to God in allowing Him to form His true and undivided nature and identity in the hearts of His Body the Church in this nation. In 40 years the Body of Christ could have had the glory of God resting on it but instead we chose to unify under the banner of politics. We traded the Kingdom of God for influence with a kingdom of this world instead. The power of God for political power.
Jesus prayed a significant prayer before he went to the cross. 
"Father, I would that they would be ONE even as You and I are ONE." 
I can remember when that was a hallmark of the Holy Spirit's work during the Jesus movement. Everything was about Jesus and it didn't matter where you went to "church" because "wherever two or three of you are gathered IN MY NAME there I am in the midst of you." THAT was the Church.
But the Church in America chose instead like the apostate church at Rome to invest in political power for the security and honor of the flesh. We traded a move of God for a political move.
We've been going around this political mountain long enough (40 years). It's time to leave the wilderness of political sin and follow Jesus to the promised land where He alone gets the honor of. His people and we shall be ONE in His hand. That is the call of the day. To turn from our wilderness of political sin and follow Him to a land truly filled with milk and honey. To repent of (to recognize and turn away from) our corporate political sin and idolatry and follow the ONE we were called to follow in the beginning but have all but forsaken.
But will we be like the rich young ruler who was invited to follow Jesus but because of his great investment in this world turned and walked away? OR will we forsake the wilderness and the mountain we have become so familiar with and identify with and follow Jesus into the promised land?
Oh Precious Lord! Have mercy on us! We have sinned against you and we don't even know it!

Enter the Kingdom of God
