The Bible is clear that Adam failed to cast Satan out of the garden and mankind has suffered ever since.

Genesis 1:26-28 NKJV

²⁶ Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” ²⁷ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. ²⁸ Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 3:1-4 NKJV

The Temptation and Fall of Man

¹ Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

² And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; ³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

⁴ Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

Since the beginning of relationships and authority in the Garden of Eden, there has always been a political liberal power struggle.

Genesis 3:5 NKJV

⁵ For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Politics is simply who runs the government. God was running the government on earth through His ambassador Adam but Adam failed to exercise his authority and deal with God’s biggest threat, Satan.

Christians have been engaged in this political arena ever since, trying to put God back into running our cities, states, nations and the world through His ambassadors leading the churches. Most pastors fail to know their responsibilities as ambassadors. They instead allow Satan to continue to plague and torture the nations, especially Christians, through evil, liberal, and radical leaders that hate the government, laws and morality of God.

Hosea 8:4 NKJV

⁴ “They set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.

1 Samuel 8:6-22 NKJV

⁶But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the LORD. ⁷And the LORD said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. ⁸According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. ⁹Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”

¹⁰ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who asked him for a king. ¹¹And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots. ¹²He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. ¹³He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers. ¹⁴And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants. ¹⁵He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants. ¹⁶And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. ¹⁷He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants. ¹⁸And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the LORD will not hear you in that day.”

¹⁹ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us, ²⁰that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”

²¹And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the hearing of the LORD. ²² So the LORD said to Samuel, “Heed their voice, and make them a king”

These verses are crystal clear as President Nixon use to say. God allows people to choose their own leaders even when it’s not His choice.

Man chooses their own political leaders and other leaders, as in the home. Man chooses and God establishes it meaning He honors man's choice.

Romans 13:1 KJV

Submit to Government

¹ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

We are to show honor and respect to our governmental leaders and leaders in the home etc., but that does not mean blind obedience. Even in the military, only lawful orders are to be carried out, or the soldier himself can be arrested and court martialed, as we have read many times. A wife obeys her husband unless he asks her to sin against God’s morality, like committing adultery. Then she must disobey!

When an authority breaks the laws of Jesus Christ, then we as Christians have a responsibility to challenge, confront, and, if necessary, disobey their wishes, commands and laws. As a Christian we tell the authority, I cannot obey as it violates my Lord's commands on these matters and I will respectfully not comply. This is what Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did and they were thrown into the fiery furnace. This is what Daniel did and was thrown into the lion's den.

It is ludicrous to believe that we shouldn’t be critical of our leaders in a constructive way or voice our concerns when they are violating the scriptures. Kings, dictators and presidents are not your spiritual leaders. They also must come under a higher authority, and that authority is Jesus Christ. We must hold them accountable. That is what Romans 13:1-7 admonishes us to do. It does not matter if the leader testifies that he is a Christian. He must still adhere to, support and obey the laws of Jesus Christ or he should be held accountable, as any Christian.

The Bible tells us to confront a brother in sin, and if he does not repent, to remove him from the brethren. (Matt. 18:15-17; 1 Cor. 5: 1-13; 2 Thess. 3:6; 1 Tim. 5:19-20)

In eleven of the original thirteen colonies, a person running for office had to say that Jesus Christ was their Lord, Savior and God. The Bible was used in the courts for morality, justice and ethics. The Scriptures were our standard for the morality of America. Men are men and women are women and there is no confusion.

In the American Revolution, The Black Robe Brigade were the pastors. When the fighting started, they took off their black clergy robes which they wore to preach in, grabbed their muskets and they became the officers in the American Revolution, fighting the British to win our freedoms.

The Senator who became a president, Lyndon Johnson introduced a bill called The Johnson Amendment. It required churches to refrain from participating in political campaigns if they wanted to keep their tax-exempt status. I personally have refused to use this privilege because I don’t want to be muzzled by keeping my mouth shut in exposing evil etc. I want to make sure we can have the most moral leaders possible. I believe this was one way the New World Order, using evil politicians, wanted to take the voice of the church out of American politics. Instead of the Church leading and influencing the nations in biblical morality, these liberal, progressive, politicians can remove God out of America and turn it into an immoral nation ready to accept the New World Order. The church still had enormous rights in politics. They can't endorse a candidate as a church, but the pastors can privately. Pastors can teach the morality of God and urge their congregations to vote accordingly.

President Thomas Jefferson of the United States:

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." "It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."

"I believe the banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

"In question of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

President Thomas Jefferson certainly felt that we as loyal citizens of the United States should hold our leaders, including the president, accountable for a moral lifestyle; one that enforces the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence as there are Biblical principles involved in all of them.

President Theodore Roosevelt said: "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."

Daniel Webster stated: "There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men and become the instruments of their own undoing."

James Madison said: "[It] is indispensable that some provision should be made for defending the Community against the incapacity, negligence or perfidy of the Chief Magistrate."

George Washington said: "Reason and experience both have forbidden us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles."

John Quincy Adams said: "The glory of the Revolution was the bonding of government and Christianity."

John Jay, the first chief justice and one of the three authors of the Constitution said: "It is the duty of the nation to see that it has Christian leaders."

In the year 1811, the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to remove the Bible from school curriculums. At that time the court sentenced a man who tried to remove it to three months in jail.

In 1878, in Reynolds vs. the United States Government, the Supreme Court ruled that Christianity and government could not be separated, since government is built upon the Bible and Christian beliefs.

The Bible, the founding fathers, and previous presidents of the United States of America are emphatic that we are to criticize those in authority if they violate the laws of God and the Constitution of the United States, which our political leaders are pledged to support and follow. The Constitution of the United States was formed by Christians. Fifty-two of the fifty-five signers of the constitution were orthodox Christians. In the records of the debates, 94% of all quotes were from the Bible.

Yes, dear saint, it is very clear to me why this nation has so many problems today. Christians have failed to be the salt of the earth! The church has left this nation to the atheist who is led by a racist theory called evolution, which declassifies the human race to the level of an animal and puts the black man on a lower development level than the white man. Charles Darwin was a racist, and today the public schools in America teach this nonsense called evolution as a science, as a fact, when just the opposite is really true. It is made up of fabrications and lies. In reality, the creation theory is much more scientifically provable.

Matthew 5:13: "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

Why have Christians allowed our nation to become a pagan nation led by liberal atheists, agnostics, evolutionists, abortionists, homosexuals, immoral and a moral people? As believers in Jesus Christ, we have a mandate to make disciples of all nations. We need to put Jesus Christ back into government, back into the Supreme Court, back into the public schools, back into the media, or we will be ruled by tyranny and fall, just as every nation that has rejected Jesus Christ. The people of the world have migrated to America because their religions have not blessed their nations. Instead, they have cursed them with poverty throughout the third world because of the immorality of their dictators and tyrants that lead or should I say, control them. Yes, religions do not bring morality, but instead they sponsor immorality, with many of them allowing sex with numerous people as well as multiple wives and sex slaves.

Murray vs. Curlett was the case brought to the Supreme Court by Madalyn Murray O’Hair in 1962. This landmark case instigated the removal of prayer from the schools within the first year and the removal of Bible reading the following year. Schools across the nation showed an immediate decline in academics and morality. Teen pregnancy has risen over 500% since 1963 and S.A.T. scores have plummeted. When a nation removes the morality of the Bible, all civilization descends into the slime like the residue of a sewer. Where once health, life and wealth blessed a nation, now violence, crime, disease and economic collapse exist, with enemies who plot to destroy abounding everywhere.

All through the Bible, the law of sowing and reaping plays out. Leadership, both politically and spiritually (the church), is to a great extent responsible for the blessing, protection and prosperity of a nation...or the collapse of a nation economically, morally, and spiritually. Throughout the Bible, Israel prospered when their leaders (kings and priests) were following the laws of God. Israel continued to go into slavery and bondage when tyranny ruled the land because of ungodly leadership.

God certainly did not approve of Israel’s ungodly leaders, and He allowed the law of sowing and reaping to run its course, which led to slavery (The Science of Judgment), if repentance did not occur. When we read, “the Lord shall raise up a king”, we are talking about how God, who is no respecter of people (Acts 10:34), will always use a person, whether good or evil, to bring about the fruit of the law of sowing and reaping. Like gravity, the laws of God never fail. Step off a ten story building and you will fall and probably die unless God directly intervenes through mercy and grace to spare your life.

We, the people of the United States of America, must return to our Christian heritage, for it alone produced the good seed that produced the fruits of unprecedented prosperity--until recently, when this nation turned its back on the true and living God. We, as Christians, must vote for leaders who truly believe in Jesus Christ and support His values and beliefs. We cannot vote for a candidate based on the color of skin, or it proves that we are truly a racist our self. A politician is not an authority on the scriptures. We must correct even a president who tries to interpret the scriptures and speaks only error. It is time for the believers to hold leaders accountable--no matter what political party they belong to--lest we become a country like many in the world today led by dictators and tyrants, putting people into power and allowing Satan to lead. Blame people and Satan, but not Jesus Christ.

In context, man chooses their leaders and God honors man's choice. God will still use where he can the most evil choice of man. Sometimes this is allowing that evil leader to persecute, imprison, take as slaves and kill people as the Science of Judgment is in operation called the cup of iniquity, as mercy and grace has run its course and now God is allowing persecution to come upon the people in hopes repentance so he can bless them again.

A person who believes in Jesus is responsible for putting leaders into office as they are responsible for choosing their marriage or business partner etc. Jesus did not place in power Adolf Hitler of Germany, Joseph Stalin of Russia, Fidel Castrol of Cuba, Kim Jong-il of North Korea, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Idi Amin of Uganda, Charles Taylor of Liberia, the four beast empires of the Babylonians, Persians, Greco-Macedonian and Romans. The leaders had animal minds and committed horrific human atrocities.

Daniel 4:16 NKJV

¹⁶ Let his heart be changed from that of a man,
Let him be given the heart of a beast,
And let seven times pass over him.

Jesus would never put into office or elect a person who backs abortion, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, adultery, fornication, and co-habitation. Jesus would never put into office a person who believes that all religions lead to heaven. This is what the Kings of Israel did leading Israel into idolatry and judgment. Sometimes now, since the church has failed so miserably in putting righteous leaders into office; because of their ignorance of their responsibilities in politics. Now we have to choose the lesser evil, a candidate that’s not perfect. We must support the candidate that supports more of the Judeo-Christian values and morality than the other one does.

In heaven, the government of God rules and there is peace. On earth, Satan rules through evil men and Christians are at war.

Psalm 72:19 tells us that, THE PURPOSE OF GOD, THROUGH HIS CHURCH IS TO REVEAL HIS GLORY OVER ALL THE EARTH.

In Genesis 1:26-28, Matthew 28:19-20, Luke 19:13 and Matthew 5:13, God instructs Christians to take dominion, subdue, be salt, occupy and make disciples of the inhabitants of the earth. In order for this to happen Christians need to understand we are war with Satan. We need Pentecost!

That is what Eagles Saving Nations (ESN) is all about. Go to my web site: worldministries.org and join ESN today. We need the power of the Holy Ghost to save the Republic from toppling and judgment to fall on America.

Yes most emphatically, the church must return to being very active in politics as it's our God given responsibility as ambassadors of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God.

Either Christians rule and there is peace, freedom and prosperity or evil men rule and there is tyranny, persecution, abuse and even death.
