The Devotional - A Look at the Book #708

by Jesse Abel
Is it safe to say that a country could be, as a whole; struck with blindness? That even those in high authority are advocates for disobedience and passing laws that corrupt the peoples of every state, city and town? Genesis 19:1-11. The antidote for this blindness is found in Acts 5:29

Yesterday I gave a wrong website for Jack Murphy, there is a lot of information on the web; just type in his name in your search engine.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it (the gospel) the Righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17

When any country becomes ashamed of the gospel of God, there will be in due time a spiritual blindness that blankets the land. God does not tolerate disobedience and unrighteous behavior on any level; individually or nationally. The reading of Romans 1:18-32 will reveal some interesting conditions that God places on national unrighteousness.

The wrath of God is REVEALED from heaven. Have you noticed some of the elements of Creation that normally are safe reach out and slap us around lately? If not, then you must be living in another country, one that has not turned it’s backside to God.

One of the characteristics of foolishness is the thought that one could be enlightened by setting aside the attributes of God. Psalm 14:1-7 God in this Psalm is looking at people and their actions. The result is not enlightenment, but as the heart becomes more foolish, it also becomes more darkened, thus what is professed to be good causes more and more foolishness, ignorance and corruption.

God is aware of all of man’s action; from the least of man to the greatest of man; when on a national scale man allows himself to turn inward to his or her sensual pleasures, it is God who turns them over to those vile passions to do whatever they do. This is not the physical blindness found Genesis 19:1-11 this blindness is a hardened condition of the soul that refuses to acknowledge God as his or her Creator. The soul that exchanges the TRUTH of God for the LIE of human disobedience will become spiritually blind.

Also it is necessary to note that in these passages Satan or the devil is not mentioned ONE time, so it is the wrath that God dealing with mankind’s failure in the four Divine Institutions given to man after the fall. (One God; One man for one woman; one family and one national government).

Although Satan is the mastermind behind all personal and national disobedience, he is only the pathfinder to hell. In other words he has placed in the heart of every living soul and national entity the sin of pride and disobedience. Isaiah 14:12-19a and by doing so he has paved the way for mankind to develop his personal and national destruction, a pathway that is littered with the personal sins of men and nations.

If you take the time to study the Living Word of God, you might notice that, “right living” is directed at correcting the disobedient desires of mankind, Romans 1:28-32. We are also commanded to resist the devil and the words found in Hebrews are to flee from him; in other words find another path, the one that returns us personally and nationally back to God. Hold on to our personal and national confessions of faith as it is about to be challenged. Hebrews 10:19-25.
