Did you ever wonder why we have third world countries in the 21st century?
You would think that with the prosperity in much of the world would have spread to every corner of earth. After all, the industrial age began 200 years ago.
What is the problem? Attitude.
➛ the attitude of the people
➛ the attitude of their government
The people have a bad attitude when they do not have a vision of prosperity, freedom and productivity.
The government has a bad attitude when it sees the people as the source of their own self-aggrandizement.
The real breakthrough in prosperity, freedom and productivity came when Christianity covered and transformed the west.
The freedom that Christ gives to people supersedes the authority of the magistrates as that freedom is of the spirit and cannot be defeated be despots.
As Christianity flourished under Protestantism so did freedom, creativity, invention, hard work, prosperity and integrity.
With TheEnlightenment, the hearts of many intellectuals turned away from revelation knowledge through the Word and Holy Spirit to the inspiration of the Spirit Of Antichrist. As a result of their writings and their influence on academia the west has gradually turned from the source of life toward the instrument of death.
The SCOTUS of 1962/1963 threw God completely out of academia. This was a major victory for Satan enabling the spiritual decline of the west to accelerate to the point that everything which had built the west has been cast aside - freedom, creativity, invention, hard work, prosperity and integrity.
Drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, child molestation, abortion, lying, manipulation, fraud, greed, entitlement, slothfulness and hatred are direct consequences of being under the influence of Satan. Remember, he steals, kills and destroys.
What has this got to do with Third World Governments? Everything.
"Wherever you go, there you are."
Location does not determine third world status. The people in third world countries are bereft of the powerful vision of life mentioned above. This is due to
➛ the lack of preaching of the Gospel
➛ the resistance of the people to believe
➛ genocide by ChildrenOfSatan
In third world countries the government is run by people bereft of Christ Jesus. So, they naturally see the people of their country as tools to accomplish their personal goals which invariable are wealth, power and conquest.
So, the seed to produce the kind of Abundant Life that Christ Jesus provides is either not there, is stifled or is eliminated.
Though I have compassion for traditional third world countries, my heart is truly broken for the west which has known the Truth, which has experienced freedom, which has enjoyed prosperity, which has lived in hope, which has been a light to the world to now be spiraling into third world conditions.
Our government is brazenly self-serving. Typical of third world countries.
Our people are immoral, in bondage to various sins and additions. They have rejected the Truth and turned to lies as the foundation for their pathetic lives.
The strength and prosperity that the west has known is largely just an illusion. And when people live in delusion they become fanatic about it as they know in their hearts their vulnerability - the bubble could burst at any moment.
All of our issues stem from corrupt hearts.
Jesus said "Except you repent you will all likewise perish."
Will we?
We know that at the End Of The Age all the world will go after the Beast of atheism, greed and power who is the incarnation of the enemy, Satan.
What I hope happens is that America repents. We now have a leader who want to MAGA but he is working from the external. We see the vicious push-back he is getting because the hearts of many Americans are dark.
They have a wrong vision. A vision based on false beliefs
➛ that right is wrong
➛ that good is evil
➛ that coveting is good
➛ that immorality is not immoral
➛ that murder is choice
➛ that people produce without incentives
➛ that there will always be suckers
➛ that debt is not bad
➛ that truth is irrelevant
So, America is on the precipice of becoming a third world country.
Poverty, crime, fear, hatred and hopelessness are symptoms of a Third World Government.
As we look at what government has become in the west, it is no different than the court of Louis 16th of France
➛ spending money like there is no tomorrow
➛ taxing the people more and more
➛ lacking a compassion for those from whom it steals
As President Ronald Reagan said: " Government IS the problem."
With fraudulent elections and one party wanting to flood the nation with illegals with voting rights we see clearly that there only utter disdain by those in government for the people who built, maintain and provide for its future.
"When in the course of human history it becomes necessary..."
These words from the Declaration Of Independence are just as valid today as in 1776. The colonists had no choice in 1776 if they were to be able to thrive in freedom. The only difference between D.C. government of today and the London government of 1776 is the location.
London of 1776 would have taxed the colonists more and more as they saw and lusted after their prosperity. The raising of tax rates and the application of taxes and licenses for any and every activity by the colonists would have eventually resulted in those colonists losing hope, refusing to produce only to be robbed, and eventually falling into a subsistence, poverty lifestyle.
America would never have been allowed to become America.
But the colonists were people of faith in Christ Jesus. They knew what freedom was in their hearts. They knew that Christ desired them to prosper and be in health as their soul prospered. So, they did not submit to despots. They threw them off.
What America does given the MAGA opportunity along with the moving of the Holy Spirit will determine her future.
The Word Of The Lord teaches us that Christ owns the world and all that it is in it and it teaches us the His believers are His stewards until He returns. As such we are responsible to rule the earth for the salvation of mankind.
The Holy Spirit has been given us to empower us to preach, teach and proclaim the Gospel with power so that His will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
By the gift of God we have what it takes. But our Lord partners with us. If one of the partners in a partnership is reluctant to go forward, the enterprise fails.
We, the DisciplesOfChrist will determine the fate of the world, individual by individual, family by family and nation by nation in the days ahead.
Be a disciple and not just a believer.
