If you haven’t noticed, I am an extreme proponent of CIVIL
DISOBEDIENCE to be acted out against a fraudulently elected nominally headed by
CCP Joe Biden. I say, “nominally” because CCP Joe is obviously cognitively
challenged. AND if CCP Joe isn’t operating with all his wits, SOMEONE is
calling the shots. That “SOMEONE” is a Deep State mystery to me. I suspect the
“SOMEONE” is a closet collective oligarchy that may or may not involve Commie
Kamala the fraudulently elected Vice President. Civil Disobedience challenges
that become massive will probably expose who is actually the power (or
powers) acting in the fraudulently led Executive Branch as violent coercion
emerges to force compliance.
With that little preamble I ran into Intercessors For
America post by Karen Hardin that includes a link to a Rumble video which I
will embed.

Interestingly Hardin shares she was not a Trump voter in
2016 (but neither a Crooked Hillary voter). Hardin shares how she became
a Trump supporter then gets into the meat of her a little over an hour Rumble
video. The discussion centers around the Biblical command of Romans 13: 1-2
which tells Christians to obey the governing authorities. Here is the New King
James Version of those two verses:
13 Let every soul
be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except
from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore
whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who
resist will [a]bring judgment on themselves.
(Romans 13: 1-2 NKJV)
IF you just read those two verses it sounds like Christians
are to sheep for the Dem-Marxist slaughter. With a little patience Hardin
explains why Christians are only subject to the governing authorities wittingly
or unwittingly enforcing law that is in common ground with the Will of God.
Here is the entire Chapter of Romans 13 using the Amplified
Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC):
13 Let every person be
loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority
except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so
by God’s appointment.
2 Therefore
he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities
resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order].
And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the
penalty due them].
3 For civil
authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad
behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is
right and you will receive his approval and commendation.
4 For he is
God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, [you should dread him and] be
afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing.
He is God’s servant to execute His wrath (punishment, vengeance) on the
wrongdoer.
5 Therefore
one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath and escape
punishment, but also as a matter of principle and for the sake
of conscience.
6 For this
same reason you pay taxes, for [the civil authorities] are official servants
under God, devoting themselves to attending to this very service.
7 Render to
all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue
is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.
8 Keep out
of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another;
for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the
Law [relating to one’s fellowmen, meeting all its requirements].
9 The
commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not
steal, You shall not covet (have an evil desire), and any other commandment,
are summed up in the single command, You shall love your neighbor as [you do]
yourself.
10 Love
does no wrong to one’s neighbor [it never hurts anybody]. Therefore love meets
all the requirements and is the fulfilling of the Law.
11 Besides
this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you
to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final
deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to,
trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah).
12 The
night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the
works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor of
light.
13 Let us
live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly
as in the [open light of] day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not
in immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling
and jealousy.
14 But
clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision
for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of
your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts). (Romans Chapter 13 AMPC)

SHOULD CHRISTIANS SUBMIT TO ALL
AUTHORITY?
By KAREN HARDIN, IFA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
FEBRUARY 18, 2021
Lord, we ask you for wisdom and discernment on how to walk through the confusing issues hitting us on a regular basis. Open our minds and hearts to understand the scriptures.
In recent days, as the Biden Administration has taken
action to promote abortion, encourage transgenderism, and more, many Christians
are praying about submission to governmental authority. Here’s what an IFA
Contributing Writer has to say on the subject.
Immediately following the inauguration, I had many people
tell me, “We have to submit. This is God’s will.” They would then quote Romans
13:1-2,
PrayING-for-wicked-and-evil-politicians [Not sure about the download]
Let everyone be subject to the governing
authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has
established. The authorities that exist have been established by
God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the
authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do
so will bring judgment on themselves.
The scripture seems pretty clear cut doesn’t it? But what
about the times from history in which its not?
For example,
·
When Peter and John defied the religious leaders
of their day to continue to preach the Gospel.
·
When the Hebrew mid-wives ignored Pharaoh and
refused to kill the Hebrew babies.
·
When Daniel continued to pray openly defying the
king’s edict.
·
When Paul, who wrote Romans 13 regarding
governing authorities, then opposed them.
Which is right? And what are we supposed to do today
regarding some of these same issues and the question of whether we are to
submit to all authority?
If we state that Romans 13:1-2 mandates that we submit to
ALL authority, does that mean that the Germans and Jews should have submitted
to Hitler? If so, that would mean Dietrich Bonhoeffer was in rebellion and sin.
Was he? Hardly. Instead, he is remembered as a godly man of
courage who stood up to evil.
What about Moses when he opposed Pharaoh? Or the disciples
in the book of Acts?
Paul wrote Romans 13 telling the First Century Church to
submit to “all” authority. Yet afterwards, he personally stood up to the
authorities. Was he wrong?
In order to answer that question, we must compare the Bible
to the Bible. It never contradicts itself. We also should compare the Bible to
our Constitution. Because what many Americans don’t realize is that they
actually agree. Why? Because contrary to the current narrative, the majority of
our founding fathers were Christians and even those who weren’t, used the Bible
as a foundational framework for our Constitution.
So, should Christians submit to ALL authority? Click below
to find out how I would answer that question.”

Lord, we ask you for wisdom and discernment on how to
walk through the confusing issues hitting us on a regular basis. Open our minds
and hearts to understand the scriptures. You said You would instruct us and
teach us in the way we should go. That you would guide us with Your eye upon
us. Where there is confusion, Lord we ask you for clarity. Where there is fear,
we ask for faith. Show us how to stand for You when we are confronted with
issues that are contrary to Your Word.
