Like many of us who fought hard this election, I was
disappointed with the results of Tuesday’s election. President Obama won reelection and the
Democrats retained control of the Senate.
Republicans did retain control of the House of Representatives. This insures continued gridlock as the Senate
will block every piece of legislation coming out of the House including
budgets. Anything that is done will be
through executive order, which is totally unconstitutional. In essence, we will most likely experience a
constitutional dictatorship over the next four years.
I did not sleep much election night and as such woke up tired,
which did not help with my feelings of disappointment. However, today I heard Sammy Hagar’s song
“Where Eagles Fly” and realized that this American eagle may be wounded and
bleeding but it will fly again.
As political avengers, the loss this election does not mean
we are going to surrender because surrender is never an option. The loss this election means we have to
reconsider our tactics in fighting the battle to restore the American eagle to
flight. I am reminded of what the
Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Church in Ephesus in Ephesians 6:12
For we are not fighting against
people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of
the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world,
and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
NLT
During this election we believed this was a political battle
that could be won using the conventional weapons of a political war. In reality, however, this is a battle of the
heart. We are battling against a
humanist and postmodern philosophy that cannot be defeated using the usual
political weapons of warfare.
Paul goes to instruct the people of the Church at Ephesus on
the weapons they will need in their arsenal Ephesians 6:13-18
13 Use every piece of God's armor
to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will
still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of
truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace
that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In every battle you will need faith as
your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. 17 Put
on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God. 18 Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the
Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians
everywhere.
NLT
We now find ourselves in a different type of battle, a
spiritual and philosophical battle. As
such, we need different weapons and training to win this battle for our
nation. Over the next few weeks, I will
be posting instructions to this blog in on how we can prepare for this
different type of battle. I will be
posting once a week instead of twice a week since the election is over unless
events warrant postings that are more frequent.
In preparation I recommend reading Mark Levin’s two books “Liberty
and Tyranny” and “Ameritopia.” I also
recommend taking constitution 101 and constitution 201 offered online by
Hillsdale College. The books are now
available in paperback and Mark Levin always offers his books at a discount
price so more of us can afford them and read them. The courses offered by Hillsdale College are
free but they do request a donation.
The liberty loving patriots of our nation are now in the
minority. If we are to return this
nation to greatness, we must win over people who are currently in the majority. This will involve learning how to win the
spiritual and philosophical battle we are in now. Join me as we become equipped to win and make
the American eagle fly again.
