Yes, that is a bold statement, but consider what is before us.

More and more well-known Christian leaders are preaching ideas that directly contradict God’s Word. In trying to be more acceptable to the masses, seemingly good pastors are making choices and promoting agendas that are not only leading their congregations the wrong way, but are opening the door to demonic influence.

“For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.” (1 Samuel 15:23 ESV)

In God’s eyes, rebelling against His word is the same thing as witchcraft (divination). To presume upon His character is wickedness (iniquity) and even idolatry. Thus, to purposely and intentionally defy His laws is to collaborate with dark forces and wicked agendas.

To make this practical, consider the upcoming election and the choice before us. The two different platforms clearly delineate where each party stands concerning God’s laws. Where one party seeks to uphold some basic truths of God’s Word, the other seeks to totally rewrite them. The differences have never been more stark.

Blatant Rebellion

One party stands for life in the womb. The other claims the right to end that life. One party defends our God-given biological differences while the other party seeks to upend the creation order and strip our children of their identities. One party defends the nuclear family and the role of parents while the other party seeks to divorce children from the home and make them servants of the state. In essence, one party is building its platform on everything God hates.

“There are six things the Lord hates – no, seven things He detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.” (Proverbs 6:16-19 NLT)

Not only does God hate the shedding of innocent blood, He hates those who plot against Him through lies and deception. He hates those who divide families for evil gain, and will heap judgment on those who harm His children (Matthew 18:6). To try to circumvent this by promoting a twisted cult of inclusivity or a false ideology of compassion is ignorant at best and demonic at worst.

Perhaps in past years, these truths were not as clear, and any spiritual implications may have seemed too subjective or radical. Unfortunately, the demonic agenda at work in the governmental sphere has never been so center-stage or blatant. What used to be deemed as merely political issues are now spiritual realities with serious and far-reaching consequences for years to come. As imperfect as the particular candidates may be, God’s favor and blessing will rest on those who uphold His Word and seek to maintain a righteous standard.

For those who walk in the fear of the Lord and still believe His laws are sacred and holy, the implications should be in plain view. The choice we make and the vote we cast will not be some subjective political move, but a powerful prophetic act that can either open the windows of Heaven or unleash the hordes of Hell.
