I love the United States and I am not afraid to pledge allegiance to the flag,I have a deep love and reverence for this country. But I also love my home country as a Christian, I am now willing to give my life for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Just as I was to serve in Vietnam, my deep reverence for the U.S. come from the love of my God, we can see God's Hand in the foundation of this country, all of our founding fathers testify to it.
Most Christian's don't know why they are here, we are an expeditionary force sent into the earth to take it over, every person that is born again, further extends the control of God Kingdom.We are not to take over the earth with violence, but with the love of God.
God wants every one to be saved,our job is to show them the love of God,then its their choice,"behold I set before you life and death,therefore you choose life".
Now I will show from the bible what Gods instruction are in loving those who hate you.
The American Soldier is called to do the garbage work in the earth,his job is to take out the trash, just as a garbage worker gets his hands and clothing filthy handling the garbage so the soldiers hands gets bloody.
Not by his choice but because his country calls upon him, and because of his deep love for his country he must use violence against those who would harm this country,for he understands the danger of men who lust for power, who will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. The bible say's, 2nd peter2-12 ( that some men are like brute beast made to be taken out and destroyed).
I would like to talk about another soldier in another time, King David was also called to do the garbage work in the earth, and in psalms 35 we see how a soldier treated his enemy end why.
Gods testimony that David was a man after Gods own heart, this was the man who cried out to God "quicken me oh! God and I shall run after thee",
David said " As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee oh! God".
David was a God Chaser and desired to please God so he wanted to know what was in Gods heart to please him, and in doing so he learned to pray for his enemies and thus psalms 35 was born first in his heart then put on paper.
Right along about here some one will say psalms 35 is just an opinion, but 2nd timothy3-16 SAYS,
" ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF,FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS."
PSALMS 35 verse 12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
psalms 35 verse 12 "BUT AS FOR ME, WHEN THEY WERE SICK MY CLOTHING WAS
SACKCLOTH, I HUMBLED MY SOUL WITH FASTING, AND MY PRAYER RETURNED INTO MINE OWN BOSOM
VERSE 14 I BEHAVED MYSELF AS IF HE HAD BEEN MY FRIEND OR BROTHER, I BOWED DOWN HEAVILY, AS ONE MOURNETH FOR HIS MOTHER.
God would not let him David build his sanctuary, Because of his bloody hands, the question is can a man be righteous with bloody hands, the answer is yes. Songs were sung that Saul had slain his thousands but David had slain his ten thousands, we have records that all thru the bible, God anoints people to kill as per his instructions, they are anointed to carry out divine justice.
David always inquired of the lord before he went to battle thru the high priest, so he always asked Gods will first, then he knew he had Gods protection. this is what I did not know in Vietnam.
How David would have prayed for his enemies even those who were trying to kill him, and behaved as though they were his friend or brother,but fasted and prayed for them,mourning as if his mother had died.
David humbled his soul by fasting, David knew (HE WAS ABOUT TO GET IN TROUBLE)(THE SOUL IS YOUR MIND YOUR WILL AND EMOTIONS, DAVIDS MIND WAS GIVING HIM TROUBLE, HE WANTED TO GET REVENGE,(just like me back then).
SO DAVID CONTROLLED HIS EMOTIONS BY FASTING AND BEGAN TO PRAY FOR HIS ENEMIES, WHICH GAVE HIS ENEMIES A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO GOD AND REPENT, WHEN THEY DID NOT , THE PRAYER OF BLESSING CAME BACK UPON DAVID, AND DAVID RECEIVED THE SAME BENEFITS, HE PRAYED FOR THEM TO HAVE, AND OBEYING BROUGHT GODS PROTECTION.
SO THE SOLDIER CAN PRAY FOR HIS ENEMIES AND EXPECT GOD TO PROTECT HIM IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN.
I DAVID COLE: HONOR YOU MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM, YOU WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED TO DO GARBAGE WORK IN THE EARTH, MAY THE BLESSING OF A HOLY GOD BE UPON YOU, AND PROTECT AND DELIVER YOU FROM EVERY EVIL THAT COMES YOUR WAY.
ISIAH 41-10
FEAR THOUGH NOT, FOR I AM WITH THEE,BE NOT DISMAYED,FOR I AM THY GOD, I WILL STRENGTHEN THEE,YEA, I WILL HELP THEE, YEA, I WILL UPHOLD THEE WITH THE RIGHT HAND OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS.
PSALMS 91-14 BECAUSE HE HAS SET HIS LOVE ON ME THEREFORE WILL I DELIVER HIM.
VERSE 15
HE SHALL CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL ANSWER HIM, I WILL BE WITH HIM IN TROUBLE,I WILL DELIEVER HIM, AND HONOUR HIM.
THESE ARE GODS PROMISES TO EVERYONE WHO WILL BELEVE.
I want to get off David for a moment, and let us look to the American soldier in light of psalms 35, the American Soldier is usually like I WAS , IGNORANT OF GODS PROTECTION.
IN WORLD WAR 2 PEOPLE MET EVERY MORNING AT CHURCH BEFORE WORK TO PRAY FOR PEACE AND THE PROTECTION OF SOLDIERS AND COUNTRY.
WE HAD ONE UNIT THAT WENT TO IRAQ FROM AL. THEY BELONGED TO A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH, NOT ONE WAS LOST IN IRAQ.
ANOTHER STORY OF DIVINE PROTECTION FROM WORLD WAR 2, THIS ONE SHIP WAS IN A BATTLE FLEET OF SHIPS, THE BATTLE LASTED ALL DAY, BUT ONE SHIP CAME THRU IT WITHOUT A SCRATCH, IT SEEMS ALL DAY LONG THIS SAILOR HAD STOOD ON THE FRONT OF THE SHIP AND QUOTED PSALMS 91 FOR PROTECTION.
Many thousands died in Vietnam,NOT KNOWING GOD or his protection,remember David knew how God told him to behave toward his enemies, if we hate that is exactly opposite of God for God is love.
But for me and thousand that was hard to do, our enemies was our own countrymen,
NONE OF OUR CAME HOME TO A SMART SALUTE, OR A HEARTY THANK YOU,OR A PRETTY YELLOW RIBBION.
No for us it was a bag of urine mixed with paint, and thrown in our faces, we were called child killers and I never killed anyone, I was a cook. But so we were judged, we who have been called to do the garbage work in the earth.
Every Vietnam soldier, we who were never welcomed home, should stand tall and proud. After all these 40 some odd years no one has ever said welcome home to me except another Vietnam veteran.
we the VIETNAM VETERAN HAVE A RIGHT TO HATE YOU {AMERICA} YOU BETRAYED US,YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY. { I AM SPEAKING FROM THE NATURAL POINT OF VIEW) FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN HURT, WOUNDED IN SPIRIT,BECAUSE OF THE NASTINESS OF PEOPLE AND HATRED VENTED UPON US.
BUT BECAUSE OF JESUS I STAND BEFORE YOU WITH NO ANIMOSITY, NO HATRED OF ANYONE,I STAND A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS.
I have sense enough to know it was not you personally, not this generation, but it was an evil generation of the sixties guided by hate,just as I seeing now the hatred toward Casey Anthony. AND I AM BELIEVING THE BEST OF YOU AMERICA, YOU GOOD PEOPLE BEGAN TO SPEAK UP AND SAY NO! NO! THIS IS NOT THE WAY,HATRED DID NOT MAKE THIS NATION GREAT, IT WAS GOD LOVING, UNLOVELY PEOPLE THRU US, LET US AGAIN BUILD THE OLD WASTE PLACES,LET US SEEK THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS AND HE WILL HEAR AND HEAL US AND HEAL OUR LAND.
One other example in executing divine justice, when the Government will not do what it is called to do, eventually it will be removed.
In 2nd Samuel 15 -28 The Lord has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day.
VERSE32
Then Said Samuel,BRING YE HITHER TO ME AGAG THE KING OF THE A-MAL'-E.KITES. AND AGAG CAME UNTO HIM DELICATELY,AND AGAG SAID, SURELY THE BITTERNESS IS PAST.
VERSE 33
AND SAMUEL SAID, AS THY SWORD HATH MADE WOMEN CHILDLESS, SO SHALL THY MOTHER BE CHILDLESS AMONG WOMEN,"SAMUEL WAS A PROPHET" AND "SAMUEL HEWED AGAG TO PIECES BEFORE THE LORD"
HERE WE HAVE A PREACHER EXECUTING DIVINE JUSTICE, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T.
THAT IS WHY I SAID I COULD AND WOULD PULL THE SWITCH ON CASEY ANTHONY IF TOLD TO DO SO BY THE LORD.jESUS SAID VENGANCE IS MINE I WILL REPAY.
HERE A MAN OF GOD ( GOT BLOOD ON HIS HANDS) AND PROVED THAT A REAL ( MAN OF GOD) HAS MORE OF A BACK BONE THAN THESE WEAK-KNEED PREACHERS OF TODAY, WHO SWAY IN THE WIND OF OPINION, JUST LIKE A POLITICIAN DOES, NOT CARING WHAT GOD WANTS,AFRAID SOME ONE WIL CUT OF THEIR PAYCHECK,OR THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION.
THEY CRY OUT AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY,WHICH PROVES THEY DON'T KNOW GODS WORD.
Casey was just declared innocent,now they are saying she is better of in jail, (is this who we really are America?) because of people who would kill her.
I am instructed according to 1 cor. 13
to believe the best of people not the worst,opinions are like armpits every one has them,
AND WHEN WE COMPARE THEM TO GODS WORD, JUST LIKE THE ARMPITS THEY BEGAN TO STINK,
But Gods word instructs me to keep my opinions ,to my self,
(GOD SAYS YOU REPRESENT ME, YOU JUST SAY WHAT I SAID) and let him execute divine justice if the courts failS, AND I CAN STAY PROTECTED BECAUSE I OBEY.
