In Morehead, Kentucky, a young woman by the name of Kim Davis has taken a stand against Same-Sex Marriage. As County-Clerk, she has made the decision not to issue any marriage licenses since the Supreme Court ruling in June legalizing same-sex marriage in this country. I firmly support this Woman of God in the stand she is taking. God has given her much grace and wisdom in the stand that she's taking for the Lord. She's made it very clear that she's not fighting against the "gay community", but rather she is taking a stand for Marriage and God's Word.
I've often wondered why the Lord allowed same-sex marriage to be legalized in this nation, particularly when the saints were so "fervently" praying against it (James 5). But now it makes more sense. God is setting this nation up for a Showdown! And if you know anything about God, when He shows up for a Showdown, He SHOWS OUT! (1Kings 18) Hallelujah! That's what He's getting ready to do in America. He's setting the stage to see who's really on "the Lord's side". And as He does this, as one prophet recently informed me, there will be no "middle ground". The days of the "lukewarm Christian" are over (Revelation 3). We can no longer be "middle of the road" Christians. It's time to be sold-out and get on Fire for God!
In the Bible, we see an example of a Showdown between God and the false gods in 1Kings chapter 18. This is the story where the prophet Elijah calls fire down from Heaven after the false gods could not deliver. However, within this Showdown, as God proves who the REAL GOD IS, Elijah asks a very significant question: how long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow Him. If you talk to most Christians, they will tell you that they're sold out for the Lord and that they're not "wavering " between two opinions about who God is. Oh contraire saints. This is the deception that the Lord is getting ready to break totally down in the Body of Christ. What God's looking for now are not just believers but sons and daughters of God (2Corinthians 6). We've got enough people going to church. But how many professing Christians do we really have that are "seeking the Lord". But here's the litmus test for you to examine for yourself your "lukewarmness". How much have you been willing to let God get you out of your "Comfort Zone"? That's it saints. There are several believers that I talk to and have known, that I believe "genuinely" love the Lord. But they won't let God stretch them. I've been in churches to where, it's alright if the Spirit moves, just as long as He moves within the context and framework of our established ecclesiastical culture. No saints! God doesn't care about the "structure" or culture of our churches; He cares about His Glory! And He's going to get it, WITH US OR WITHOUT US. The choice, of course, is our's.
I thank God for Kim Davis. I thank the Lord for her Witness, I thank the Lord for her Courage, and I thank the Lord for her Devotion and Commitment to Him. She's getting death threats because of the stand she's taking for the Lord. Needless to say, they're threatening to take her job. But we know that the God we serve has the Last Word! Not the Supreme Court. Are you ready to take that type of stand for the Lord? Are you willing to sacrifice to Him and for Him, so that His Divine Will may be manifested in and through your life? I can assure you, wherever you are in your walk with the Lord, He's setting you up for a Showdown.
