THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 51
Standing in the GAP – Part 19
“These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.”
Revelation 14:4-5
The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates,
A PROPER RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY AND A REPUDIATION OF UNLIMITED OBEDIENCE TO CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
THE LESSER MAGISTRATE DOCTRINE IN OUR DAY – CHAPTER 12 – Part 1
The lesser magistrate doctrine isn’t just some ancient teaching that we can study, but which is void of any practical application in our own day. The nature of man does not change. The need for lesser magistrates to interpose raises its head from time to time in the course of human events. Have you been to Washington, D.C. lately? It is a veritable fortress. The Federal government has made it such not only because they are concerned about threats from without; their greater concern has been threats from within. The fortress-like nature of the place reminds one of what Plato said to the tyrant Dionysius when he saw him on the streets of Sicily surrounded by his many bodyguards – “What harm have you done that you should need to have so many guards?” Pray.
The Federal government has harmed the American people. Review their laws, policies, and bureaucracies, and you see that they have caused much harm to the institutions and traditions of our people. The Federal government has already attacked and abridged liberty. They are now in the process of plundering the American people. Pray.
The Christian author C.S. Lewis spoke of a tyranny where the State tries to make the citizens dependent upon it, through which they slowly enslave the people. He wrote: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent, moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” Pray.
The Federal government has been doing this to the American people for decades. Through such actions of “benevolence,” Americans are now nearly a completely conquered people. They no longer cherish freedom or liberty. Many Americans already expect and desire the government to wipe their rear ends and blow their noses from the cradle to the grave. The Federal government seizes money from the people through taxation and then uses the money to forge the people’s chains and make them dependent upon the State.
We saw an example of this in the not-too-distant past. After the Obama administration strong-armed their so-called Affordable Health Care Reform Act through Congress, they immediately sent out their representatives to convince the American people of “how this will benefit them.” Yet, the legislation is an attack on freedom. It demonstrates another action taken by the Federal government to push well beyond the boundaries of proper government. From a Biblical and Constitutional point of view, these new laws are not legitimate to the purpose of good or lawful government. They bind people to the State and make them dependent upon it. Pray.
The lesser magistrates have the right and duty to interpose against law and policy that violates the Constitution (regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court defines violations), and/or that attacks the person, property, or liberty of those within their jurisdiction of authority, and/or that impugns the law of God. While preparing this book, several examples of lesser magistrates taking action of interposition have been highlighted in the press – in plain sight for all to see.
Arizona and other states have taken action to defend their borders against illegal immigration. This has resulted in fights with a Federal government, which appears more concerned about granting greater freedoms to illegal foreigners than to its own citizens. A number of other states have defunded Planned Parenthood of all tax dollars, including Indiana and Texas. This has resulted in a drawn-out fight with the Federal government as it insists on giving this bloodthirsty organization (and others in the population control industry) hundreds of millions of our tax dollars each year. We also see the doctrine demonstrated by lesser magistrates regarding the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Eight states have passed Firearms Freedom Act legislation. This legislation interposes against bad Federal law and policy which undermines the right of Americans to keep and bear arms.
The question that remains to be seen in these events and many others is – will the lesser magistrates merely squabble with the Federal government or higher authority over these matters, or will they stand resolute in opposition to their abuse of power? Pray.
The standard operating procedure in the past has been that the lesser magistrates put up a fuss regarding tyranny, but only until a Federal court rules the tyranny to be “legal.” Then the lesser magistrates comply.
Those of a more jaded stripe may even view such actions by lesser magistrates as being politically motivated. The lower magistrates know that the people do not like a Federal law or policy, so they put up a fight, but then do nothing else to resist once a Federal court rules against them. They then sing the common song of which Knox spoke: “We must obey our kings, be they good or be they bad; for God has so commanded.” Pray.
Lesser magistrates today need to understand that state governments were not intended to be mere conduits for enacting Federal public policies. They are not to be mere implementation centers through which the Federal government dispenses its unjust policies, decisions, and laws. The interposition of the lesser magistrates is absolutely critical for the preservation of liberty. The hour for them to stand is upon us. We have a Federal government that is now trampling our cherished liberties and assaulting our persons and property. It has caused much harm to the Christian institutions and traditions of our people. They are steeped in governmental mischief. They have foisted upon us endless regulations and debilitating lawsuits. They seem to be at war with much of the American people. Pray.
They appear clearly intent on scrubbing the nation of any Christian influence.
The Bible says “If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat,” so this government creates a society where you don’t have to work and you still get to eat.
The Bible says marriage is between a man and a woman, so this government wants to make it between a man and man or a woman and a woman.
The Bible says, “You shall not commit adultery”, so this government says that adultery is no crime at all. And on and on. Pray.
When will a state stand in defiance of Federal tyranny? And if lesser magistrates will not stand over this matter – a group of innocent people being adjudicated to be openly killed by another group of people – then what cause will they stand on, and when? Presently, not only is the law of God being contravened regarding the murder of the innocent but also regarding sodomy. The Federal government decriminalized it in 2003. The Federal beast has since busied itself with a plethora of public policy changes to expand its homosexualization of America. The Federal government has been incessant in shoving the filth of sodomy upon Americans. This impugning of the law of God has reached the point where God’s created order regarding marriage is threatened. Pray.
In the Magdeburg Confession, while discussing the fourth and worst degree of tyranny, in a near prophetic statement regarding our own day here in America, the pastors stated the following: “Therefore, if now the leader or Caesar proceeds to such height of insanity only in that of natural knowledge which governs the society of civil life and uprightness, that he abolishes the law concerning marriages and chastity, and himself sets up a contrary law of roving unclean lusts, to the effect that the wives and daughters of men are to be prostituted – in such a case, doubtless, no clear-thinking person would have any hesitation about the divine right and commandment that such a leader or monarch ought to be curbed by everyone in his most wicked attempt, even by the lowest of the lowest magistrates with whatever power they may have.”
To the pastors of Magdeburg, all magistrates possess delegated authority from God. Therefore, they have a right and duty to oppose the magistrate-turned-tyrant when he makes law contrary to the law and Word of God. Their Confession set forth a biblical and historical foundation which strengthened the consciences of the magistrates in Magdeburg to resist the unjust and immoral law of Emperor Charles V. Pray.
Only time will tell if America’s lesser magistrates are just putting up a token fight against the perverting of marriage. Will they stand even when the Federal dog bites back and presses all to embrace it whether legislatively or judicially? Will they join the higher authority in their rebellion against God, or will they do their duty in the sight of God and resist? Even concerning state authority, when will a city council, mayor, or county clerk refuse obedience when a state legislature “legalizes” homosexual marriage? There comes a time when the lesser magistrates must move beyond mere squabbling with the higher authority. There comes a time when men must cross swords. The lesser magistrates provide the best opportunity for this to be accomplished bloodlessly, but history has proven there are times when they must redden their swords. Pray.
In our arrogance, Americans often think they are above the political wrangling of some third-world country, but as the rule of law crumbles in our country – people will increasingly see the need to take a stand against unbridled tyranny. The lesser magistrate doctrine provides the means whereby a proper and just stand can be made. The American Church and the American people need to repent for having spurned the law of God. If we do not, we will one day see what a taskmaster the Statists or Islamists are, and rue the day we threw off His rule. If the lesser magistrates do not stand against the tyranny and injustice of this Federal beast, America is doomed. Pray.
We pray:
- Lord, we thank You for those who understand their DUTY to interpose and serve as buffers between the unrighteous and the people. Help those who now “stand in the gap”, as Lesser Magistrates in the Battle to SAVE America! Pray.
- Protect and grant each one of Your people who steps up to this assignment. Give them great favor as they address this matter in their own areas of influence! Pray.
- Let County Commissioners in states across this land see the light of TRUTH and enter into the process of exposing and rectifying fraud in the election process! Pray.
- Guard and protect our 24/7 family with the Blood of Jesus, as we engage with and undergird patriots across this land who will “stand in the gap”, in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! Pray.
- Bring Donald Trump forth quickly, and guide him in his preparations to return to the White House. Pray.
- Now that Roe is overturned, protect our Supreme Court Justices and their families, and honor them for their stand for LIFE! We speak PEACE to the streets of our nation…foil any plans for backlash! Pray.
- Protect the sovereignty of the United States of America and do not let it be compromised in any way! Remove Biden and all those who have betrayed our Constitution and sold us out! Pray.
- Let our homes get in order so that they might be places for Your HABITATION and sanctuaries for others! Pray.
- That we will joyfully release the LOVE of GOD from our hearts over this, our beloved nation. Pray.
