Why do we as Christians continually allow satan to control our lives? Why do we allow satan to control our cities, states, governments, and countries? We say that we have no control over satan. We are wrong. The Bible tells us that as long as we have Jesus in our lives then we can control what satan does in and around us. This country was based on the fact that we did not want to be governed by a king. We wanted to be governed by the King;the king of kings, the Lord of Lords. Yet, we the people who have certain unalienable rights have used our rights to leverage satan right back into the picture just as Sodom and Gomorrah. We have allowed satan to take our cities, states, governments and most of all ourselselves. Our children do not stand a chance against ourselves because we are the ones allowing satan to over take them.
I have heard preachers use the illustration from the Bible that Jesus leaves his 99 sheep to seek out the one which has gone astray. Why do we care as His followers not to do the same? Why do we not seek out the one who is lost?
When will we the people relinquish control over our own lives and allow Christ to resume control? What would it take for us as Americans to relinquish control of the country? I have heard that Obama and McCain wants to make changes but do they really have our best interest in mind? When will the president, the Senate or House release control of this country and allow God to make the changes. When will we as Americans ask God to intervene? We turn to God only in destruction and only in turmoil. Until we turn to God for everything this country will continue in constant turmoil. Continue to pray for our country that we will let God take control.
You are so right Brian. God has empowered
us to subdue, conquer, annihilate and vanquish
Satan upon any and every encounter. When
we claim the power of the blood, we need no
longer ask…should I, dare I, what will ? think,
how can I be sure? …we just do it.
…and God reigns….
Write on …

A couple questions:
1. Practically, what would it look like if our leaders and legislators did ‘release control of the country?’ What does that mean, exactly, in terms of their actions on economics, defense, and general governance?
2. In what way might God intervene? Do you mean a physical intervention in our markets or wars, etc.? What might that look like if, for example, one were seeing it on CNN?
3. Has there been a country, past or present, that has done what you recommend here, and if so, what was the result?
Thanks
