“We have known and believed the love that God has for us.
God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”
1 John 4:16
We sing: Reckless Love
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me. You have been so, so good to me.
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me. You have been so, so kind to me.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God!
Oh, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the 99,
I couldn’t earn it and I don’t deserve it, still You give yourself away.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God!
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me. You have been so, so good to me.
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me. You have been so, so kind to me.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God!
Oh, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the 99,
I couldn’t earn it and I don’t deserve it, still You give yourself away.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God!
There’s no shadow You won’t light up, mountain You won’t climb up, coming after me!
There’s no wall You won’t kick down, lie You won’t tear down, coming after me!
There’s no shadow You won’t light up, mountain You won’t climb up, coming after me!
There’s no wall You won’t kick down, lie You won’t tear down, coming after me!
There’s no shadow You won’t light up, mountain You won’t climb up, coming after me!
There’s no wall You won’t kick down, lie You won’t tear down, coming after me!
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending reckless love of God!
Oh, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the 99,
I couldn’t earn it and I don’t deserve it, still You give yourself away.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God!

Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 48
Standing in the GAP – Part 16
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”
Proverbs 29:2
The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates,
A PROPER RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY AND A REPUDIATION OF UNLIMITED OBEDIENCE TO CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
WHEN LESSER MAGISTRATES GO ROGUE – CHAPTER 9
In February of 2004, America heard tell of a bold lesser magistrate who was willing to oppose the higher magistrate. The only problem was – he was wicked. Gavin Newsom, then-Mayor of San Francisco, decided to defy state law and issue state marriage licenses to homosexuals. In just one week, over six thousand sodomites obtained the licenses, including many who traveled to San Francisco from over 20 different states (in an attempt to export their filth all across the nation). God defines such “relationships” as criminal and “lawless.” Scripture resolutely condemns such behavior. Pray.
Gavin Newsom is the quintessential example of a lesser magistrate gone rogue. For an entire week, state and federal officials stood by and did nothing, nor was there any opposition on the part of Christians out on the streets while Newsom and city officials continued to spit upon the law of God.
Finally, a group of fourteen young Christian men and women stepped forward on February 19, 2004, one week into the immoral and unlawful “marriages.” They had enough of this impugning of God’s law going unanswered.
The ten men brushed their way past a security officer, and went straight to the head of the line of hundreds of homosexuals waiting to “marry.” They positioned themselves in the doorway to blockade it, and boldly announced “Okay folks, the show is over!”
This of course caused no small stir. Pushing and shoving ensued, but the young men held their positions. They declared God’s law and great salvation and sang hymns while the homosexuals wailed and police and sheriff’s deputies assembled to put the men in compliance holds and drag them away.
This action was caught by news media – local, national, and international. The four young women filmed and photographed the incident. Eight of the men were dragged through the building and thrown out a side door. The other two were taken to jail and charged with trespassing. What mattered, however, was – a Godly standard had been raised in San Francisco around which men could rally. Pray.
Gavin Newsom, the unjust lesser magistrate, was about to see his little parade for perversion come crashing down around him. The very next day, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the higher magistrate, who had been silent about these “marriages” the entire first week, broke his silence and declared that these marriages must stop. He pointed to the actions of the young Christians the day before as his motivating reason for finally speaking out. Pray.
Yes, lesser magistrates, just like superior magistrates, can act unjustly. When they do, it is the duty of the higher magistrate, equal fellow magistrates, or even a subordinate to the unjust magistrate, to interpose and rein in that lesser magistrate. Superior magistrates, equal magistrates, and subordinates of the lesser magistrate – have a right and duty to oppose and act against the unjust actions of lesser magistrates. Pray.
Knox, in his Appellation, speaks of rogue actions by lesser magistrates. He cites Jeremiah 37-38 as an example. In this passage, Jeremiah was arrested for treason because he wasn’t cheering on the war effort against the Babylonians with pom-poms in hand. In fact, the Lord was having him prophesy that Jerusalem was going to fall to the Babylonians. He was preaching surrender. For this, he was arrested for treason. Concerning this, Knox points out in his A Godly Letter of Warning (1553): “Let a thing here be noted, that the prophet of God sometimes may teach treason against kings, and yet neither he nor such as obey the word, spoken in the Lord’s name by him, offend God.” Pray.
Jeremiah was arrested by a lesser magistrate, the captain of the guard, Irijah. There are always those who are too anxious to serve the State. Irijah was one of those kinds of people. Irijah handed Jeremiah over to the princes of Judah, lesser magistrates themselves (though higher than Irijah). They were angry at Jeremiah, struck him, and threw him into the dungeon. King Zedekiah then hears that Jeremiah has been captured. He meets with Jeremiah secretly to ask, “Is there any word from the Lord?” Jeremiah bluntly tells the king “There is. You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.” Not quite what Zedekiah had hoped to hear. Jeremiah then appeals to the king, as the higher or chief magistrate, regarding his mistreatment at the hands of the lesser magistrates, namely the princes. As a result of his plea, Zedekiah has Jeremiah removed from the dungeon to the prison court – a marked improvement in conditions.
But the story is not over. The lesser magistrates – the princes – hear of this and they appeal to King Zedekiah to put Jeremiah to death! The king replies “Look, he is in your hand. For the king can do nothing against you.” Just as the lesser magistrates hide behind the saying “We’re just following the law; there’s nothing we can do; it’s the law of the land” when evil or injustice is codified into law by higher magistrates, so also, too often when a lesser magistrate goes rogue and acts unjustly, we hear the higher magistrate make excuses for not intervening (or they do what Governor Schwarzenegger first did and remain strangely silent). Pray.
After Zedekiah’s act of weakness, Jeremiah is taken by the lesser magistrates and placed back into the dungeon itself. But the story is still not over. As noted in the last chapter, one lone lesser magistrate, Ebed-Melech, an Ethiopian, learns of Jeremiah’s condition and appeals to Zedekiah on his behalf. Zedekiah responds positively to this lesser magistrate’s words, and orders Ebed-Melech to take thirty men and lift Jeremiah up out of the dungeon. What we learn from all of this is that both the higher magistrate and other lesser magistrates have a duty and right to act against the unjust actions of lesser magistrates. When a lesser magistrate goes rogue and plays the oppressor and tyrant, or imposes unjust law, the higher magistrate and other lesser magistrates must clearly interpose and take him to task. Pray.
In the end, God rewarded Ebed-Melech for his just actions as a lesser magistrate. But notice the end of those princes who acted unjustly in their office as lesser magistrates. The Scripture says that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, “killed all the nobles of Judah.” Pray.
When tyranny presents itself, almost never do all the lesser magistrates stand and resist, whether the oppression and tyranny come from the higher magistrate or from other lesser magistrates. Even when some lesser magistrates take a stand, usually the majority will go along with the tyranny. This is how things always go when good becomes evil and evil becomes good in a nation. Most “go along to get along.” That’s what sustained Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia. Pray.
The people’s hope is that lesser magistrates everywhere will understand their God-given right and duty to interpose – stand in the gap – when oppression and tyranny raise their ugly heads. The people must then rally around those lesser magistrates who actually do stand. Pray.
We pray:
- Lord, we thank You for those who understand their DUTY to interpose and act as a buffer between unjust law and the people. Help them as they “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 then let the people rally around them, so they do NOT stand alone! 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.
- Call 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.
