There’s a number of outstanding things surrounding One Nations win today…
Of course there’s the media bias, Labors’ lies / underhanded workings and smearing of the One Nation candidate. There’s also the massive pool of candidates – the largest ever in WA – which even included one proud communist. Then there’s the huge swing towards conservative ideals and away from the party that have held the seat comfortably for 19 years.
But the biggest red flag giveaway? That from The Greens. The party that says it puts the environment and animals before anything revealed what they fear / hate the most…
It’s Christians.
Today, they preferenced the Shooters & Fishers party above the Australian Christians! Let that sink in for a moment. They think the Shooters & Fishers will decimate native wildlife and fauna and will destroy the environment… but that is LESS of a threat than…Christians.
I can imagine the justification of their position would come down to two specific issues. Interestingly, both of those issues add evidence that the position of the Greens (and likely their supporters), is determined by forces they can not control…
I’m sure many of the Greens have good intentions, whether it be the environment, animals or protest groups, but ultimately they start to morph into a position that will, at all costs, reject and oppose Jesus.
The Bible makes the ‘crazy’ claim that those who refuse to worship God for who He actually is, will:
– start to worship creation (the environment, stars / planets, wildlife and fauna),
– become mentally deceived (thinking they know what is right / true but don’t) and
– go down a path of sexual perversity (promiscuity, homosexuality and transgenderism).
There is a powerful reason that many of the people that champion one of these causes will champion the others too. And when they do so, they do it will very little logic and a vitriolic seething anger that often has no reasonable explanation. And no amount of reason, logic, facts, history or evidence will make a scrap of difference – they are completely (blindly) devoted…trapped and in a way, helpless.
It’s a scary thought: God can literally leave you to be encased in your own deception, where you don’t even know how deceived you are. In that state, you will be completely blind and continually convince yourself that you know truth, have truth and can teach truth. But nothing could be further from the Truth.
When Jesus said “I AM the Truth” He meant it. If you don’t have Him, you can NOT have Truth (even though you will believe you do) [#danger!].
If you ever want to avoid (or have avoided) Jesus, BEWARE! You may be educated. You may be confident. You may feel justified. You will likely be passionate. But you won’t have Truth. You will try to justify, condone and ignore, but it won’t change the reality: Jesus is the *only* Way out of deception. Turn to Him, trust in Him, walk with Him while you still can.
As Jesus says:
“All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.”
But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”
John 3:21 (NLT)
Politics can’t heal a nation, but like many things, they certainly expose the underlying spiritual condition of people and position of a country.
Lord open our eyes to our own deception, to what Your Truth is and what You want for and from us. We need You.
