Keys To Exalting A Nation | Dr. Myles Munroe

thank you for joining us for another power-packed message provided by monroe global incorporated and monroe global comm we transform followers into leaders and leaders into agents of change we hope that this message is a blessing to you as you advance your life and discover your purpose now let's go into the message I want to begin with a statement concerning the divine origins of Nations read the nation's begin and I want to begin there because I want you to get a concept of where we are at the divine purpose of God from the beginning was to establish a nation of heaven on earth that was God's original idea his plan his purpose for creating earth was to inhabit the earth secondly the divine goal of God was established a colony of heaven on earth so the vision of God was to have a a nation on earth from heaven he wanted to do that to establish a colony of heaven on earth and His divine objective was to establish the culture of heaven on earth they should write all of these things down but this is the greatest message that you can share with someone that God's plan his idea his original intention was to establish a country a nation from heaven on earth to manifest the culture of heaven on earth his strategy was to do that through establishing the government of heaven on earth government therefore is the key to establishing a nation so the primary purpose of government is to establish and administrate the law that regulates life on in a nation it also produces the culture of a nation that last statement is probably the most important I will give you all night what is the primary purpose of government here it is the purpose for government is to establish an administrative law and that law regulates the life of the people and that life produces the culture in that country so I want you to see the relationship between government law people and culture government creates law law regulates the people's lifestyle the lifestyle becomes the culture so the most important component in any country is really the government because government controls what happens in the country and what the country becomes government also controls the people and what the people become because law regulates the people's lifestyle is this clear so whoever creates the law is a dangerous group of people because they regulate and they create through law that leads me then to the other point the fact that we were created to govern the earth God did that because he knew that in order for her to become like heaven he had to put us on the earth and put everything under our control and then he gave us his law as the law for earth let's read from the constitution of heaven section some section 8 subsection 4 for those religious people Psalm 8 verse 4 David was a king he was not a religious man he was actually a politician and David asked a question what is man that your mind is full of him Oh God why do you think of a man so much and what is so important about the son of man that you actually care about what happens to him and what he's doing and David answers the question himself he says I know why we're so important you made us a little lower than yourself that weight beings there's the word Elohim it means God and then you crowned us with what say it loud glory and honor now you've been taught you shouldn't touch the glory of God that's a religious statement there's not a kingdom stained the kingdom actually says you were given the glory of God glory means what is the word keyboard it actually has to do with nature or culture you were crowned with the culture of God with the the nature of God well that makes sense if God wants the nature of heaven to come to earth then he has to put it in the being so he put honor because culture is not inland it is in people no piece of your country has culture people carry culture culture is the glory of the people it is the actual nature of the people so whatever the people are happens in the land the Bible says he crown you in what glory and here's the big one owner that means you were put on a pedestal by God to honor means to lift up to esteem highly to respect the Bible says he crown you with glory the culture of God and honor God actually respects his creatures he respects his children he's proud of us he's saying go ahead and take the earth look at the next statement it says what you made him to rule or to govern over the works of your hands and you put everything under man's feet do you need any more convincing about why God put you here you didn't come from Earth you came to earth you are from heaven and he was sent here to govern the earth on behalf of God in order to bring the glory of God the nature of God the culture of God to earth therefore you are the first government and the only government God put on earth to govern means of course that you execute judgment over a territory judgment has to do with law that means you bring the law of your country to a bear on the environment that you live in so God put you here and put how many things under your feet all things that means every animal every dog every cat every plant every gold silver oil the oceans the mountains the trees you are to rule over the physical planet and bring it under the influence of heavens culture that's why you were sent here so you are the first government and what is the purpose for government write this down the essence of government is law please remember this the essence of government is law now God must do a lot of things and you think you know that these things are important but the most important thing a government does is to debate and legislate and pass laws right now we got some legislation in the front of our parliamentarians right now dealing with some important issues and some of you may not know the power of what's going on that's why you gotta say something because they are about to create law when you think of government you must think about law this is why people who are hungry for power in a country want to get into the Congress or the House of Assembly because these are the bodies of authority that create legislation that becomes law so everybody wants to control lawmaking the point number two write it down whoever controls or creates the law creates the nation never ignore people who are fighting for laws some you're wondering why for example there are so many people in our countries around us now who are trying to fight for laws to protect same-sex marriages for example now that is not to be taken lightly they don't care about your paramedics they don't care about your debates in the church they want to make sure it becomes law because once it becomes law then the nation becomes a nation of that kind of relationship government is about law and law creates the nation that leads me to point number three law creates and controls culture what did I say law creates and controls culture so a nation becomes what it will become based on the laws that are created by the people in power and that group is called the government they govern the nation by laws and the law produced the culture that leads to point number four so the first thing God gave Moses anyone to create a nation out of slaves was law God gave Moses law before he gave in land because God knew that if you get land without law you can have a lawless land and you cannot regulate land unless you have law so God gave Moses law first then the people got land afterwards that leads to point number five whoever controls the formulation of law controls the quality of the nation whoever controls what the formulation of law they will control the t of a nation again you wonder why people want to stay in the position of power because when you in a position of power to create and influence the regulation of a country you are actually controlling the quality of the country the values of the country you're controlling the moral stance of the country and that leads to point number six which i think is very serious the rule of law is at the mercy of those who rule the law that's a mouthful of quote you treat that right now to somebody I won't say it again the rule of law is at the mercy of those who ruled the law democracy for example prides itself on being a philosophy of the rule of law and what they mean by that is the law rules the country but we forget that the law that rules the country is created by men who the law so because you say the law rules the country doesn't mean that you have the right country you might have the wrong law rule in the country that's how dangerous governments our governments can actually rule the rules they can actually change the rules they got the power to legislate and agitate for even the changing of a constitution because once you rule the law and then the law can rule you so yes we are about the rule of law but the question is who's ruling the law they can change the law you ever wonder why the Bible calls the laws of God statutes do you know I've called statutes the word statute the same way as character it's like that statute that you have in the middle of your town there's a lady in our country downtown she's been sitting there all my life and many of you were born and she was there you'll die she would still be there she'd been there for about almost a 100 80 years she never moved it she is called what statue God used that turn for his word his law is in my law our statutes that means you don't change them by vote you don't adjust them by any act of human ingenuity that woman sitting in our square her name is one Queen Victoria Queen Victoria she's been through every hurricane in the Bahamas am i right and never moved in other words the currents around her were flowing but she withstood all the currents and when the currents were over she's still the same person you see there a lot of you know you ever notice this statement what is what is current in your society a lot of things are currents that means they come to mean view and governments need to recognize which laws should not be moved and the only laws that you can guarantee should not be moved are the ones you get from the Creator and there are some things the Creator put in place and we are tampering with them I learned something years ago if you go downtown to that woman Queen Victoria and you say I hate you and you ball your fists and you punch her in her face with all your might because you want to change her what would happen to your fists you'd be a bloody mess do you know why no matter what you do she doesn't go with you you go with her you don't break her she breaks you all principles and laws are that way you don't break the laws of God you break yourself on them you Mohammed we try to change set laws of nature set laws of physiological facts and truth we are going to be broken not the laws and this is why I don't panic when I see people attempting to shudder God in his face and say to God this would be going to do no matter what you say I smile because I know that you cannot change a divine law and divine laws are always manifested in natural law the natural law have no respect for human law very important so who the rule of law is at the mercy of those who rule the law and that's why even the laws that men create cannot be trusted that leads me then to what happened when Adam fell first of all the first thing God gave Adam was government the word Dominion as we know means kingdom authority Kartal Adam have dominion over the earth we just read it in the book of Psalm 8 verse 4 where God said you have been given rulership over the earth so God was giving Adam first of all government why because government is the most important component in leading or influencing territory at least the point number 2 when Adam disobeyed God he committed high treason that means God trusted out of it power when you violate the trust of power it is called treason the result of treason is death so the fall of man was the loss of not just a family but he also lost relationship with the government of heaven diplomatic relationship he also lost the commitment of the government to earth and the fall of mankind therefore was the recall of the governor of heaven who is the Spirit of God the Holy Spirit was sent here with us to be the governor in the colony when we disobeyed the laws of heaven the governor left and therefore the fall of man was the loss of Kingdom government of heaven on earth so we lost a government therefore we lost the nation of heaven and remember now we're trying to find out how do you exalt the nations back again how do you make a nation heavenly again or heaven like again well how was the nation heaven folk again is that a word Evansville the original nation that was here with Adam was heavenly because the governor of heaven was living in it the Holy Spirit Adam was led by the Holy Spirit not by his flesh when Adam live was following his flesh he lost that influence from heaven and the Holy Spirit a Bible says could no longer strive in men and so the Holy Spirit left is that clear when the Holy Spirit left earth the government left the earth just like it is in the Bahamas or Jamaica or barbatus or st. Kitts st. Thomas st. Lucia or wherever else whoever there was a colony the moment you disobey your governing kingdom then the governor is recalled and it happened here in the Bahamas in 1973 and when the governors recall then the influence of the government is gone the last British governor that was here was in 1973 when that governor left we lost the control of Great Britain over us so nothing in the Bahamas is controlled by England so when you get rid of a governor you got rid of the government when the Holy Spirit left the earth because of our rebellion against God the government of heaven left the earth is that clear so God's purpose was to bring that government back now we know what God did right God called a man named Abraham of course no you know was the one that he called the save humanity but then God called a man named Abraham what did God say to Abraham I got Genesis 18 verse 18 they're very important to read what God said to him cuz of Abraham he will surely become great and powerful what nation is important not a religion called Judaism God's plan was never a religion Abraham is not the founder of a religion he is the father of a nation and God says Abraham I will make you a great and powerful nation apparently two things that makes a nation successful greatness and power now we gotta figure out how to become great and how they've got to become powerful and God tells Abraham how to do it he goes on to say and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through you can I put it another way and all the nations of the earth will be influenced by you can I put it another way and all the other nations shall use you as a standard why god only wanted one nation on earth why he only has one race on earth the only race card has on it is called the human race there's no white race black race red race brown rice or yellow race in the Bible there's only one race it's the human race and God wants that race to be the government over earth we lost that government and so God says Abraham since I lost all the ethnos the nations of the earth I'm gonna use you as a prototype to become the standard for all the nations and we know what happened of course Moses picked up that responsibility later and he went to God the people now look at exodus 19:5 continuing the process if you obey me fully and keep my covenant God says then out of all the nations you will be what a treasured possession and all the whole earth is mine even though I own everything you as a nation would be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy one nation again God never told most of the start of religion he's after what nation now what is our theme in this session exalting a nation God is concerned about the Bahamas what about the churches oh boy quiet now see look at that see the problem is we've been so focused on going to heaven we forget the assignment on earth and religion actually abandons earth in its theology God's first command to man was to have dominion over what the earth not to go to heaven we came from heaven God says this issue is about you influencing the earth and becoming the nation over earth the governing power on earth so God told Moses you tell them I'm gonna make them a royal priesthood that means that the vertical relationship with God on a holy nation that's the horizontal influence of the people priests means one who stands between God and earth get it nation means influence over the earth so holy priesthood means that the people who rule the earth must have a relationship with God vertically are you with me so royal and pieced hood are together royal and priesthood priesthood means vertical royal means horizontal everybody sit with me she write that down this means what vertical relationship royal means what horizontal so for for me to fulfill God's will as a woman in the earth I must have a relationship with God first that's the priestly relationship then I can have a royal influence on earth that's the horizontal part so every leader in our country should have first of all a vertical relationship we go then they should be trusted to have a vertical or horizontal influence over our country in our lives therefore we should not trust people who have power to rule on earth we should trust people who got a relationship with the power in heaven first you will be what first a kingdom of priests a kingdom is a country a governing country or government of a country and the holy nation is that which is influenced by those priests so in God's mind there's no different between the priest and the King the king is priests and the peace is key they are the same in the mind of God theology that we separated them and in the Old Testament if you read the Bible carefully this is very interesting the person who are Dane the King was always the prophet the prophet ordained the King which means that the person rather vertical relationship gave the mission to the one who are horizontal relationship Samuel laid hands on David and Saul and that's the way it's supposed to be we have it differently in our modern countries we we go to the twenty general or we go to you know so we also get our power so in other words the principle is rulership begins with relationship right there down rulership begins with what relationship if you have a relationship you are qualified for rulership if you are priests first then you can be a president if you are a priest you can be a prime minister and it doesn't mean that you are religious it means that you've got a relationship with God so you can be in touch with the laws of heaven so that you don't violate the laws of heaven with the laws of Earth and again this is how you create a nation that exalts the Lord and God says you better tell the country but this whole program now I want you then to take a look what is a nation what is a nation we talk about nation write this down a nation is a community of people committed to a common heritage a common language common land common jurisprudence common ideals common values and those people are submitted to the governance of one God now this last part may claim as a country to believe that till the road we trod that's how it ends right leads unto a few gods a number of gods apparently in our country we've decided one god that means it's very difficult for you to have a person in Parliament in our country who is an atheist because according to the aspirations of our Constitution as well as our national anthem which manifests our our anthem which is our desire that we sing a question cannot lead us who does not believe in one God so anyone who is atheistic in their theological perspective of life should not rule our country if our country wants to have one reference then so this is the important definition let me tell you why God then did what he did when God bought the people of Egypt he told Moses I want to create a nation out of them the first thing God gave them was a list of laws the Ten Commandments that was the foundation of the creation of God's prototype nation it was a list of laws but what's important about the laws you had forgotten is the first law that's the probably think about the first law in the Ten Commandments is what thou shalt have no other gods before me God begin with God he didn't begin but don't steal don't kill don't lie etc he says first of all let's Claire who is the ultimate authority because nation have not declared who it's God is then the laws are at the mercy of the humans without an ultimate reference everything is relative without fair there can be no wisdom oh boy am I losing you okay if there's no God for you to fear you will do anything that's right a fear of God is the beginning of wise choices that what it means if you fail breaking the law of your authority then they will discipline you in making laws this is why people who want to change the laws of God always try to get rid of God first so they get rid of God out of parliament Senate the law the courts the schools because if I can get rid of God then I gotta worry about offending any authority so I can make any law I want so that's why the first thing God gave Moses rather was law but the first law he gave him had to do with what the God that they would serve this is why it's so important for the nations to have a clear reference to a God can I put it to you then our preamble of our Constitution in the Bahamas is a very important statement in the preamble and you know we keep agitating them to put it in the main part of the Constitution as a law but they're refusing that because you know they say democracy which i think is a problem itself you can't dictate to people who they should believe in but I think what you should do is declare who you believe in and then they could come and live with you long as they don't fool you believe in yourself anyone who come in my house we live by my rules you give me with my house with my rules you don't come in my house and bring your own rules I don't cost you don't cuss you know so people who come live in the Bahamas but they shouldn't come and tell the Bahamas what they believe if the Bahamas are has already declared who its God is blessed is the nation whose God is already identified as the Lord okay so if you haven't identified the Lord then your nation cannot be blessed or exalted let me give you the components of a nation please write this down young people write this down what makes a nation a nation this is very important number one one land one land number two one national vision number three one language one language number four one Constitution number five one common body of laws number six one government let me comment on that for a minute we have an island in the Bahamas those who are watching may not know this but there's we have 700 islands in the Bahamas and there is one of our islands in the Bahamas that has a separate government and it's not our government that Island is in distress because you cannot have two governments in one country that island is called Grand Bahama and the government on that island rules the city called Freeport now the problem with that is two governments can't pre-exists because if it's the same people you can have two sets of governing laws and taxes etc any creature with two heads is a monster they say and this is why there is confusion in that Island in the Bahamas and the confusion is is being manifested in the people the people are being stressed and so it's very difficult for one government to dictate to the other government if that government has been given governing powers so the moment you have two governments in the country you don't have a country you got a dichotomy frustration that's why God gave you one head in your whole body you got billions of cells with one head with one brain you ain't got no two brains you don't got two minds so it's very important for us to understand that you must have one government alright number seven one common ideal makes a country an ideal for example the ideal of America is freedom that's the ideal everything is everything is freedom one ideal is freedom of course you gotta regulate but freedom is because freedom of the law is honor key so when you say you want freedom you can also immediately want what law okay which is their number five you can have freedom of laws number nine of number eight rather countries have the same values common values number and nine number eight common morals number ten common culture number eleven common standards and number twelve common national commitment to defend the country and number thirteen a nation must have common standard that's your flag matter of fact the word flag actually in Hebrew is the word standard standard that's why when they went to battle in history they always send the flag up front and the personal character fly didn't have any reference you know the president tried to fly had a team around him protecting the flag all the time and a battle was never lost until the flag of the other army fell the goal of winning war is to get rid of the flag the moment the soldier the flag drops the flag another soldier grabs it why they Canada flag for you every day don't let the whole fly for because the flag is the standard now the word standard is referring to the personification of the country so a flag is not just a piece of cloth that's why if you wear a flag in a certain way on your body you can go to jail it's called they call it s desecration of the flag if you burn the Bohemian fly you could go to jail because you're burning the people you're burning they're very standard of the country this is why when you say your Flag Day that's not funny you can't have two flags in one country very important to flag means to be okay so I want to understand nations and I'm sure many of you have seen that picture of I think it's World War World War two when they should also this there's a statue now where the soldiers from the Hornets flag up yes in a statute that's not a simple statue do you know that flags are so important that the entire United States anthem is not about God and it's not about the people it's about a piece of cloth we didn't know that they if you sing the national anthem of America it's about a piece of cloth the whole anthem is about a cloth they're gonna see she's thinking ok can anybody sing it for me it's about it's about the flag the whole thing but the fly I mean do you know what they sing about they sing but they call it Old Glory what is glory the nature of the people now remember during the Civil War in America 1776 when they fought the British the British remember these two things to rule America but you say they ruled us and the Americans who fled a Europe for the gates of British they sent him back home and the whole point was to keep their flag in the air and when the British ran back the flag was still standing they said it was ripped up but it was still standing health homes in it but it's still standing so the whole and thumbkin America's about the standard because you gotta have only one standard in every nation are you learning something tonight so let's sing the national America can anyone see how does it begin person Richard all say can you see by the dawn's early light with the notice naughty Tomodachi like that means it meant meant when the sun rose that morning the flag was still flying what's an expert's dawn's early light how proudly we hail at the twilight's was wrinkly mean these red stripes and bright stars see there ain't no people through the perilous night see that's a kid still standing was an expert's to the round puts me was mr. gently streaming so fired under the first thing in here come on singing its way through the night and our flag was still there oh say that star spangled banner banner yep [Music] and home of the book the whole thing is about a piece of cloth now if you read the Bible if you have a computer Bible type in in search the word banner and just press search and it's all through the Bible and it's about a flag so every country must have one flag don't ever allow people to bring different flags into your country as a standard notice number three one language do you know language is very important because if you encourage diversity of language you are destroying the country how did God destroy the Tower of Babel project he never tak them you just confused the language and they could not understand each other so they couldn't even tell the fella bring the piece of wood so they couldn't build the country because there were different languages no country should encourage multiplicity of languages now if you read the Tower of Babel a Babel it was called Babel because that's the word was used to describe what happened to them they were babbling ever said that stop babbling that means stop babbling it means the Tower of Babel the Tower of confused language that's the story in Genesis chapter 11 needed tonight it's a story about destroying a country by multiple languages they started babbling this why is very important for you as the people wherever you are as a country watching this program to be careful with requirements to learn different languages to live in a country you know I have no problem with you learning a language for commerce or language for work but that shouldn't be the standard of the country anyone who comes into your country must learn your language let me give you one more revelation the first time the Holy Spirit came down to earth in the Bible among men was to destroy the language that's found in Genesis chapter 11 the first time history came back to earth was in Jerusalem in a living room and the first thing he brought back was one language they all speak in tongues in other words God confused it in Genesis 11 and any port back and restored it in Acts chapter 2 so when I travel around the world and I meet you who I can understand their native language as soon as we get in the way of services that speaking in tongues I feel like I'm home because tongues is a common language for all over belief so I go to all these countries with many many languages but in a worship experience with God they start speaking in tongues and all of us sound the same he brought back one language nothing is more dangerous than people who speak the same language because now they could believe the same thing they could say the same thing it's called unity is this good all right and then every country must have a common and this is a very important one authority reference this isn't referring to your God you cannot be a country without a single Authority reference God says to the journal visual you shall have no other gods before me then he says you make no graven images of anything that I created secondly you won't worship any other God God was clear nice and now we can talk about honoring your father your mother don't stay alone Stephen all this stuff you know rest it once a day or maybe once a week make sure take it yourself you know don't cover it when that's first of all clear the air you want to get one God the reason why that's important is because and I hope you understand me when I say this democracy without God is humanism what is humanism some of you may have studied that in school in college but humanism is the man being the measure of what is right or wrong good or bad true or false the human becomes the measure that's humanism in other words the human is God now if you study the concept of democracy democracy is built on humans as the power they say the power is in the people remember that and they say the majority the people decides what is good or right now we got to decide whether we want to go with that that means no matter how wrong a thing may be if most of the people agree for it they can make it right in their eyes of course so the problem is if there's a god as a reference then if you and I come up with a consideration a bill a legislation an idea a law to debate what to compare to refer it to his standard if he's not there then we decide whether it's right or wrong that's called humanism humanism manifests itself in a word that you want to write down again relativism relativism relativism simply means that things are good or bad based on what relative to you it's relative if I believe it's okay then you leave me alone I do what I feel like and you mind your own business ethics if I like it I like it if you don't like it leave me alone so that's relativism relativism also says that there's no ultimate truth that truth is relative to the person's perspective yeah situational ethics they call it so when it's ethical depends on the conditions at the time and which means that there's no standard to measure anything by now many people want this badly because they want to have their own way a nation that has no reference to measure it's right or wrong this against is a humanistic nation now let me give you the word they use in my country for that it's the word write this down secularism secularism is simply humanism dressed up in a nice suit when they say and I heard him say in our own Parliament we are a secular country we are a secular nation what they mean by that is we don't believe that no one has the monopoly on truth and that we don't want know what to detain to us what is right or wrong so secularism is is that which is acceptable to me based on what I believe to be right even though it might be wrong anybody confuse yet that's exactly how you are when you are a humanist you are confused because there's no stake to measure anything by now the problem with that is that goes against natural law because the whole universe is designed in such a way that God has established permanent stakes that you cannot violate for example your mouth and your eye and your teeth are specifically designed to fulfill certain duties your eye cannot hear it has a limitation there's a law of the eye it cannot hear it cannot talk so when I can vote that the I should should hear and they can win the vote 90% but greedy I should hear what happens to the eye I told you that natural law have no respect for human law so there is a stake in the ground what we need to do as Nations is study the stakes that's why God to Moses these are the stakes thou shalt not commit adultery thou shalt not steal thou shalt not bear false witness thou shalt not covet your neighbor's Goods thou shalt not kill thou shall not kill your several working and resting he gave specifics these are stakes by the way grace doesn't cancel law so be careful with the grace message grace frees you to keep law it doesn't cancel law you are free to not commit adultery you are free to never lie again as grace so we need to have a reference to have an exalted country and this is why it's important for the role of those who are they can I use the term guardedly please those of us who have the stewardship of maintaining the presence of God in the country in the national psyche those pin must be protected and if those people are silent then the voice of God is silent therefore the reference is silent and therefore men do things that are unbelievable Bible says there's a way that seems right unto men that's that's human ism if it's right for me it's okay that's humanism so we don't have the right to decide what is right that is pre-established you and I not here to debate with God but to obey God am i coming through a little bit so nations need to understand that now he has a question I acts and I want you to write the answer down what aspirations the nations that what are the aspirations of Nations the three aspirations all nations have one is freedom freedom is defined as the right to pursue your personal aspirations and practice individual convictions within the boundaries of constitutional law please buy this Seanie to get on this way what is freedom the right together what is freedom the right to pursue personal aspirations and practice individual convictions within the boundaries of constitutional law that's national freedom ii aspiration of Nations is independence what is independence let's say together independence is the National right of a people to determine their national destiny to pursue their national aspirations and practice their national ideals within the context of their national conditional law and I think in this particular sentence the word there would be more important to me their national laws because there are other countries now who are imposing on their national laws I read a statement that was sent to me that the Vice President of the United States made concerning the relationship of the u.s. with other nations and I think that statement crossed a serious boundary because the statement is implying not even implying is actually blatantly stating that if nations do not line up with certain so-called laws that are you know common laws in in in the global environment then they will be victims and they will be punished by the community of nations and what they're doing is they are ignoring any national law for the sake of global laws and they are literally holding you hostage by the purse it's called global blackmail and the purpose for the global blackmail is to make you a prostitute if you've got to do whatever I tell you to do because I give you money you are a prostitute so that's where we are how can we be an exalted nation if we cannot choose the laws that God gave us these are questions that I believe are coming to a head in the next 25 years I believe that it's going to be global contention based on moral clashes I believe that there's going to be a global rebellion against the spread of conformity because I believe that there's a certain point where people with moral convictions will lose their timidity and there's going to be a global revolution telling you I'm prophesying right now because the human spirit can only take so much when you study history there always was a point where people said enough is enough and they didn't care what price they had to pay they rose up that leads to my third aspiration sovereignty Wow every country wants to be sovereign but with sovereignty of loud real sovereignty is the right to self-governing supreme national authority not ruled by any other state now that's exactly what sovereignty is and that is a tough one you can supportively decide your own destiny as a country and become your own supreme authority in the execution of your own national aspirations but what happens if someone says to you you can do that you no longer sovereign I believe in Independence I believe in interdependence what I don't believe in is control of other countries and that control can be done different ways in control people by blackmail the economic blackmail so I want you to understand as we talk about the kingdom of God influencing countries there's going to be a clash and you sit in here tonight at this class and those watching this program tonight I promise you that it's gonna come a time before you die when you gonna have to make a decision that is so serious that your little quiet voice can have to become loud and you're hiding in the closet will be over because there'll be a matter of you losing your entire life's conviction or fighting for it and you got to decide and then you serve by the way there came a point when Israel had to do that you remember choose you this day not what you will serve you need a reference whom you will serve today whoever you serve will dictate your standards your laws your conviction as a country and you could have to say one or the other as for me and my house I'm going out to fight when you conform you become useless can you write that down when you be when you conform you lose your influence be not conformed to this world process but be transformed by the renewing of the way you think renewing means going back to the original way of thinking so we got three things we must deal with as a country freedom independence and sovereignty and we as a country will have to deal with these important issues are you are you with me and we talked about exalting a country a nation being is ordered the Bible says righteousness exalts a nation we're gonna deal with this in the next two sessions because it's so important to understand what righteousness is it's really aligning yourself with the laws of God righteousness exalts a nation we've been taught that you should be righteous according to the Bible the country should also be righteous not just the people but the whole nation must be lined up and the way a nation becomes righteous is you must have people in government who are aligned with the laws of God because government is just a machinery it's as good as the people in it so the people in government are not aligned with the laws of God then you have a corrupt government therefore the nation will not be exalted righteousness exalts a nation right standing with God exalts a nation right standing with God's laws exalt a nation but sin it says sin the word sin is a singular word sin not sins sin the word sin there is the word rebellion against the laws of God over the word Hebrew means to send means to rebel against the known laws of God that's the word for sin so when the Bible said do not sin is saying do not rebel against the laws of life sin is a reproach to every country so when you make laws you must check to see if those laws and are creating sin would have sent rebellion against the known laws of God I saw something on the television the Fox News today very interesting a lady was on and she was presenting a case to the US government and she had this this video a live video of a baby in the womb of a mother and it showed for the first time a baby in 3d a little child in the womb and they showed that this child this baby was actually doing human things it's like for weeks this this creature this so-called you know block was a human and all the people sitting there in that hearing were quiet she simply said is that a human and nobody answered I think it's gonna be on the news tonight again she showed for the first time that they were inside the room and took a three-d didn't know me they were scan you know you see the thing moving but this thing when inside actually showed the 3d of the baby and this little child was sucking his thumb you know scratching and they were like this is not just some blob it's an actual human so when you abort that you are killing a child a human but she instead of arguing the case she just showed the movie and everybody was quiet here's my point when you create a law in a country as a nation you have to make sure that that law is not rebellion against a known will of God for the gods say I wish that none perish Psalm 139 I saw you in your mother's womb I knew you when you were in the depths of her earth I made you wonderfully beautiful and I already wrote a book on you this is Psalm 139 should read it sometime before you was conceived I knew you so when you make a law we debate laws and I'm sure ours is coming you know some of your thinking about that's them no it could come because there are doctors in our country we already aborting babies by the hundreds hundreds of them we just don't know about it my god they hide it pretty good lately but they is that murder or what is that I'm in thou shalt not kill it's a question what is killing an Adventist when is killing not killing and I don't know I think killing is when you kill me I think that's what that means you terminate my life yeah turn them life and what could be worse than terminating someone who cannot defend themselves or speak for themselves or even resists is that worse than killing is that law in keeping with the standard of God righteousness exalts a nation the culture of death could be created by a law where the value of human life doesn't matter you may wonder why maybe why a young kid could walk into a school and open a machine gun on little kids in the prep school and kill 10 of them 18 of them and then walk out is there a culture of death because of the laws of the country that made life use useless because you devalue life at a point where if it's inconvenient you kill maybe that kid who had the gun may have seen enough of that where he says these kids are inconvenient now you go to jail for doing it outside the womb who goes to jail for doing it inside the womb these are questions you have to answer you do it inside the womb they call you a doctor outside the womb that called you a criminal it just depends on where you do it you are called skillful if you do it inside the womb you are called brutal if you do it outside the womb it depends on I guess the location I believe you are here because you survived the womb I read in a book some years ago it says the most dangerous place for a baby today is in its mother's womb my God have mercy on our country's righteousness exalts a nation i have 89 slides it's a
