ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
- A COUNTERFEIT BABEL
by
Pastor Tony
Cavener
This
past Friday evening at our local church’s regular Watch of the Lord a strategy of the enemy was revealed, one that was
causing the church and the righteous of this nation to become confused and divided.
The strategy was a counterfeit of Babel;
if we are united nothing is impossible especially with the power of God’s Spirit, the enemy knows this.
Everyone wants secure borders and none of us want to promote lawlessness and illegal immigration, however this is not
the issue of the hour for the Church of Jesus Christ. It is a feint of the enemy to get us distracted,
divided, confused, with various opinions and voices. In essence, everyone is speaking a different language.
The spirit of Babylon is behind this, it is his plan to take back the ground that the righteous have gained over the past
several years. The tower we have been building is one of righteousness; the enemy wants this to stop.
NO LAW CAN SECURE OUR BORDERS
The only thing that can secure our borders is the Spirit of God. We
decry the lawlessness of illegal immigration when we ourselves as a nation promote lawlessness towards God and His commandments.
We have, as Psalm 2 states, tried to throw off the “fetters of the Lord and His anointed one”.
The Psalm says that “He who is enthroned in heaven laughs…”. We truly must “kiss
the Son” in this hour and not become embroiled in a feint of the enemy. The issue of the hour for
the church is still before us, abortion, Roe vs. Wade has not yet been overturned.
Proverbs
14:34 says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
We have had some victories, however we can not relax, we cannot become divided, and two new
Supreme Court Justices cannot cause us to turn to other issues. The war for the soul of this nation has
not been won. This coming election of 2006 is critical; we cannot allow immigration to take precedent over where a candidate
stands on abortion, righteousness, and judicial activism. Only a revival of righteousness and a move of
repentance can secure our borders.
PRESS
IN AND CRY OUT FOR THE UNBORN!
We
as a nation and the church in this nation have no moral authority to demand secure borders when the borders of
the womb have not been honored and respected! If we will continue to pray and call forth
for the overturning of this evil judicial decision then our borders will be secured by the Lord himself and He again will
be our shield. We must stay on the wall as intercessors and watchmen until this issue is righteously settled.
We’ve heard it over and over,
yet it is still true;
2 Chron 7:13-15 When I shut
up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people
who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
LAWLESSNESS VERSUS LAWLESSNESS
I have heard so many become angry over the immigration issue saying “they are breaking
the law!” Our borders are not secure because we are breaking His laws! We need
the Holy Spirit to arouse a righteous and holy anger in us that causes unrighteousness and evil to be overthrown in us and
in our nation.
We are so
close to seeing the breakthrough of righteousness and revival, we must continue to hold the ground we’ve taken and keep
advancing and not become distracted! There is one issue before us that is the very heart of the Father, the Spirit of Elijah
is crying out for our hearts to be turned to the children. We cannot combat lawlessness in our land when
we ourselves, our courts, and our nation’s statutes are lawless before God.
ONLY GOD CAN SECURE OUR BORDERS
The victory is very close, that is why the enemy is trying
to distract and divide. There is the possibility for another vacancy to open in the courts that could be
filled by this president. He needs a congress that will support his appointments, a congress that will
insure the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. We must continue to press in and pray for our president and for
the continued election and incumbency of righteous leaders and lawmakers!
May the wisdom and cry of the Psalmist be ours!
Ps 33:10-12, 16, 18-22
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed
is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
No king is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered
by great strength.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is
on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them
alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For
our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD,
be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
