Put on the full armor of God

The Nation if Israel did not always put her faith in Yahweh even though Yahweh had a well established history of delivering her out of all her trouble. Instead of trusting in God to deliver them in battle, they relied on allegiances and treaties of mutual need with foreign powers.

God deals with this attitude and lack of faith in a very interesting way. He included these national sins in the long list of Israel’s whoring in Ezekiel 16:26.

The French influence on the early years of the United States is undeniable and unfortunate. Most people do not see it that way. The religion of reason and rationalism had a profound effect on the minds of many of our founders. It soiled them. We allied with the Frenchies against their nemesis, the English, because we did not believe we could win the war standing alone with nothing but a just and righteous God defending us and it is taught in modern Government schools that we only won the war because of the French assistance.

We sought out the Frenchies and got in bed with them instead of trusting that God would deliver us.

Now, there are allegiances that are righteous and upright but this is not an example of one of them. It was pragmatism and faithlessness. The effects of French secularism on American thought and institutions has handicapped us and eaten away at us like cancer since the 18th century and justly so.

This is national sin that keeps on keeping on. The UN, NATO, G-8; the list of groups we have whored ourselves out to is long. The water is severely muddied, however because now we are such a secularized country it’s hard to justify why these alliances are beneath us.

They are beneath us if we have any hope of putting on the full armor of God. It is beneath us if we are to restore the sovereignty of our true King, Jesus. It is beneath us if we hope to reestablish national sovereignty and it is beneath us as un-repented sin.

We must seek God’s face in this. We must repent of this ongoing sin and ask the Triune God to deliver us in his Mercy. We must detach ourselves from these entanglements and not enter into them.
