A House Divided

“But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house fall.” Luke 11:17 New King James Version

There are three accounts in the Gospels in which Jesus states that a kingdom divided against itself is laid waste or a house divided cannot stand, Luke 11:17, Mark 11:17, and Matthew 12:2. All three of this statement are spoken in response to the Pharisees’ accusation that Jesus was casting out demons by the power of Satan. All I can say on that is really. The king of Kings, Lord of Lords, has power from upon high.

 Jesus’ does thing with a purpose on purpose. His point is clear friends, a group, organization, job, home, family, and nation that continues to suffer with strife, and bitterness will within itself FALL. Have you looked around at the state of our country? Do you see what I see? Satan is having a ball as he has come to the highest office in United States. I am just calling it what it is y’all. We can know a tree by the fruit it bears. I’m not gonna call an apple tree an orange tree, when I clearly see it’s an apple tree.

We the American people are going to have to work together if we are going to accomplish anything. All of this stealing from Peter to pay Paul must stop. The Bible says that a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Paul appeals to the churches that there be no divisions among the believers. The churches should be unified in their purpose to avoiding people who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to sound doctrine. But we know that is not true, if I have heard it one time, I have heard it a thousand, Satan goes to church. He walked in with sista Sally whose dress was way too short for the front row, he walked in with brother Thomas who just got through cussing his wife out in the car, he even held hand with Granny rose, who is just mean all the time. He got in there through power couple who believe their status and money will put them right into the kingdom of God. Not.

Let me leave you with this scripture, that speaks volumes to not only the United States, but also to the people of the world. It comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their lands.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
