Citizens of Heaven and the United States

Immature Christians and Citizens
Where are mature citizens of heaven who live in the United States that know the Word of God, and also know how the government of the United States works?

Jesus said to some of His opponents, "You do err because you do not know the Scriptures." Regretfully, many who profess to follow Jesus err because they not only do not know the Scriptures, they don't understand or live by what they do know of Scripture. They lean to their own understanding rather than being disciples of truth. They also err as citizens of the United States because they don't know the Constitution rightly divided, and they don't know and/or understand how the three branches of our government work.

True and mature Christians deny personal opinions, preferences, private interpretations, etc., to follow Jesus and live by His Word of Truth rightly divided.

True Biblical Morality
A righteous nation must have laws to govern its people. The founding Fathers intended for the United States to have laws to help govern its people. Laws in a righteous nation must be based upon morality. True morality is based upon God and His Word of Truth. The devil has worked long and hard to change this nation by changing its laws. Not everyone is a Christian in this nation. Not everyone in the Church, be they preacher or member, is a true Christian, but true Christians must stand for God and His biblical morality. Too many professing Christians are doing the devil's work by their own lifestyles and by how they participate in society, including how society is governed.

The members of the true Church that Jesus is building who are also citizens of the United States must not only be salt and light to those around them in the United States, but must also do what is necessary to ensure that the laws of our nation are based upon true godly morality. Until Jesus returns and His kingdom is fully manifest on earth, there will be earthly governments. If Christians in the United States want a righteous government, they must, as citizens of a heavenly kingdom, be salt and light to those around them. As citizens of the United States, they must also do what they can to ensure that our nation is a righteous nation.

The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and he does each in many different ways. He will do all that he can to cause people and nations to break the commandments of God. He will make people call good evil and evil good. He will cause nations to make laws that break the commands of God. He is a master deceiver, and he will even enlist professing Christians to help him accomplish his purposes. He first deceives them and then uses them. He stops them from being true godly witnesses as salt and light, and he also stops them from working to ensure that the laws of our nation are based on true biblical morality. When a person's rights become more important than God's commands, that person is opposing God. When a professing Christian defends one's rights to oppose God's commands, they are fighting for the enemy.

Conclusion
I have seen some Christians write things like, “Where are the prophets to speak to the things of our day." I am not referring to ones who looked for some prophet to predict the outcome of an election. The ones who looked for that are carnal, immature, and will be easily deceived by false prophets. For those who are looking for the real, don't expect them to say or write what you want them to. God wants Christians who will cry out for what is in His heart. Too often those who release a cry of God are blasted by those who have been captivated by reasoning and other things. I saw this happen on a recent Charisma Online blog thread. Someone cried from the heart and was blasted immediately. Those who lead with reasoning and/or emotion may find some resistance but not like those who release a cry of God from the heart. Some who are expressing themselves may need to touch up on how they write things, but discerning hearts will recognize a cry that originated in the heart of God. Where are those with discerning hearts? Where are those who will stay true to God and His Word even when attacked (persecuted)?

Carnal, false, and immature Christians base decisions upon things like human reasoning, human emotions, and private interpretations. They can give eloquent arguments to defend their decisions. They are standing on sinking sand, and they are helping this nation sink because they are salt without flavor and they have no light.

Where are a few true and mature disciples who are really born again and have really been baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire? Where are true and mature disciples who don’t fall for the devil’s stupid way of reasoning? Where are true and mature disciples who have been sanctified by truth and will proclaim it from the housetops in the Church and in society? Where are true citizens of God’s kingdom who are going to be good representatives of God and His Word of truth in the United States?
