People power and divine power can work wonders:
Evil, darkness, unrighteousness and ungodliness are coming in like a tsunami all over the West. There is great moral, political, social, cultural and spiritual evil engulfing our lands. It can seem overwhelming at times. But we can and must fight back. We must resist. We must stand strong.
Here I want to speak about some ways that this can be done. And I will break it down into two main areas: people power and divine power. Of course the biblical Christian believes both go together. Believers are to act, to pray, and to get involved as they seek God to move on their behalf.
It is always that way. Without God we are all toast, and we will get nothing done of any lasting value. But God has chosen to work through his people. As but one example, when the evil slave trade finally came crashing down in Britain, it did not happen purely by human effort – divine help was needed all along the way. But if people like Wilberforce had not gotten involved, we still might have slavery today in the West.
People Power
Some of the great evils of recent times have been the diabolical power grabs by governments and politicians under the guise of ‘keeping us safe’. The horrifying Big Brother overreach and the shameful assault on basic human rights and civil liberties has really been the most shocking thing I have seen Western government do in my lifetime.
And the ugly new discrimination and apartheid that is being blatantly promoted and celebrated is nauseating to behold. Consider this ugly and vile threat made by one big cheese in Queensland:
“Life will be miserable without being vaccinated. You won’t be able to hide, (…) it is going to be very hard to maintain your employment if you are not vaccinated and you won’t be able to go anywhere for any entertainment. Get vaccinated otherwise you are going to have a very very lonely life and you are not going to be able to maintain your employment.” https://caldronpool.com/brace-yourself-australia-it-is-game-on-against-segregation/
That is just disgusting. Hitler would be proud. This MUST stop now. Vaccine passports, mandatory jabs and grotesque demonisation of those who have legitimate hesitancy has been terrible to behold. As I wrote yesterday:
“Here is the bottom line: if the State can get away with forcing people to have some substance injected into their bodies against their will, and with the masses readily embracing this, then there is nothing the State will not be able to do and to demand of the sheeple. This is about as tyrannical and dangerous as it gets. And we have seen all this happen before – just recall what took place in Germany in the 1930s.” https://billmuehlenberg.com/2021/11/12/the-left-health-mandates-and-full-tilt-tyranny/
That is why tens of thousands of people in Melbourne – and elsewhere – are taking to the streets in protest. Another mass march is on right now, and if it were not for an ill family member I would have been there instead of writing this piece. But I certainly hope to be there next week.
And this has been a terrific example of people power in action. Our deaf and morally moribund leaders really do not give a rip about the people and all the damage they are causing. They only care about one thing: power, and forever staying in power. To hell with everything and everyone else.
As we are now starting to see marches with 20,000 or 30,000 or more people, that just might wake them up a little bit. If the diabolical Dan Andrews still retains his heart of stone, perhaps some of his colleagues and cabinet members just might be woken up by these huge protest marches. Let’s pray that they do.
But tiresome critics tell me to just ease up, claiming that if I do not like the government I can vote against them next year. Yeah right. The way things are going, there may well be no free and democratic elections next year. Andrews wants total power and control over this state, and I already made the case that even elections are at risk. As I said in one piece:
If you liked the lockdowns, business closures, spikes in mental health problems, destroyed economies, curfews, and all the rest that Andrews has subjected us to – the longest and harshest in the entire world – then you will love what is coming next if this Bill gets passed. It will then not at all be surprising if we hear him announce soon thereafter: ‘I have decided to suspend all forthcoming elections. Things are too dangerous and I am here to save you. Trust me.’ https://www.reignitedemocracyaustralia.com.au/culture-radio-truth/
There are many things ordinary people can do about all this. For example, a number of petitions are circulating on mandatory medicine. Here are just two of them – please sign and share: https://familyvoice.org.au/campaigns/discrimination-covid19-vaccination-status
https://www.onenation.org.au/vaccine-mandates
Of course signing petitions alone will not save the day. It is a start, but much more needs to be done.
God power
As vitally important as it is for the masses to wake up and get involved, at the end of the day this will not be enough. We are not just dealing with political strongholds and evil in governments, but we are dealing with spiritual strongholds and evil in the heavenly places.
So we certainly must act and get involved – for sure. But we must also engage in the spiritual arena. Prayer of course is strategically important here. Engaging in intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare is just as crucial as attending a protest march. The truth is, we must be doing both.
And that is why I am so massively encouraged by what I am seeing in the Melbourne freedom marches. In the past it may have been mainly angry non-Christians rightly demanding their freedoms back and an end to government tyranny. But now Christians by the thousands are joining in as well. That is fantastic!
As I write this piece, on-fire Christians that I know are there and they are sending back pics and videos. They are part of huge crowds demanding that health apartheid ends, and that the push by Andrews to make himself Dictator for Life is defeated. I am thrilled to see Christians engaging in this way.
And forget the liars in the lamestream media who are trying to tell us that mere hundreds have attended these marches, and that they are all just anti-vaxxers. Baloney. Tens of thousands are marching, and the overwhelming majority are NOT anti-vax, and most HAVE been vaxxed. But they ARE dead set against health fascism, and against the evil Andrews’ bill giving him unlimited tyrannical powers.
But back to prayer. One of my main prayers over the course of the past few years has been “improve or remove”. Let these wicked tyrants in the West – be they Andrews or McGowan or Palaszczuk or Ardern or Trudeau – either get gloriously saved, or moved out – one way or another. And that is a quite biblical prayer to pray. As but one example, Psalm 109:8 says this: “Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him.”
Indeed, Scripture is full of prayers in which godly men and women implore God to take down evil rulers and to bring swift justice upon them. See more on this here: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2021/06/18/praying-for-and-against-enemies/
Let me close with some clear biblical cases of ‘improve or remove’. I am once again reading the book of Acts and we find examples of both there. In each case God’s people would have been praying for these evil leaders, and some amazing results took place as a result. Consider the wicked Saul who was persecuting the church. This is what happened to him, as we read in Acts 9:1-9:
But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
He was wondrously improved! He was converted and helped to turn the world upside down. Paul ended up writing a large part of the New Testament – among other things. But other evil leaders were removed – big time, as is the case with King Herod. Acts 12:20-23 says this:
Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
There you go. Some folks are saved and have their lives radically turned round. Some persist in their evil and hardheartedness, and are removed from action. I will keep praying this for our leaders today. Nothing less will suffice. And I know that many other Christians are praying the same way.
I must say, for the first time in a long time, I am starting to have hope. Depression and despair are giving way to guarded optimism. When the people stand up and get involved, and when prayerful Christians stand up and get involved, then we are getting somewhere!
May it long continue. This is how mountains are moved.
