Voice of the Kingfisher speaks out …from a different perspective

Sean Hannity had an interesting, all-black panel on Hannity, Fox News, last night, which discussed the problems and issues concerning the black community of America, with the question arising as to whether or not Obama was addressing them. Interestingly enough, they felt the solutions, for the greater part, centered around the nation’s relationship with God and her break from her godly heritage.
One small voice pointed the country back to studying the book of Proverbs, and it was as though a light bulb went off in my head, as I thought about the classrooms of the nation, and how they are now engaged in teacher-student violence. I considered how different it would be today if we had not allowed the Bible and this book of Proverbs to be taken from the children, no matter how much Political Correctness swirls around us. It can only take root if we allow it to do so, and having done so, violence and cultural attacks within the nation and the classrooms have followed.
The Bible of absolute truth warned that this would happen again today as it happened in the days of Noah – the reason being that man chose the spiritual rule of Satan in this world, rather than the spiritual rule of God. Evil took over the world through the rebellious sin of Adam and Eve, so God raised up a people for Himself, in the form of a nation called Israel. He also gave His Law and His Word as guidelines for successful living in the midst of evil, by taking control over it (dominion over the beast). There are no greater social messages for successful living than those which are found in Scriptures, particularly in the book of Proverbs, regarding how a wise man should conduct his life, in such a way as to have victory over Satan and avoid being caught in his clutches.
What we need to understand, which is now covered over by every kind of deception that Satan can dream up, is that this world is ruled by the supernatural rather than the natural. Our minds are controlled either by the spirit of good or the spirit of evil – of life or of death; there is no ‘la-la land’ in between. One or the other will rule over us, determining our future in the world to come.
There most certainly is eternity incorporated in the breath of God, breathed into man, which made him a living, breathing, pulsating human being, created in the image of the living God. And so, man would remain such, as long as he obeyed his Creator, and stayed safe and free from the clutches of Satan. Proverbs is the book, which, if obeyed, will keep mankind free of the supernatural ruler-ship of Satan, first in our lives, and secondly, in our nation.
The Law of God prevailed in the victory of Jesus over death, and it is by God’s Law, and not by any charter of man-made rights, that every man will be judged on the Day of Judgment before God. Never be deceived into believing that there is no judgment by our supernatural Ruler; the Law will be at the heart of the weighing scales, and the judgment will be of God, with man’s sentence pronounced upon him at that time.
Satan’s ruler-ship in the supernatural is found within the realm of the empires of nations where it will grow and flourish, as will they grow until the entire world is ruled by him, after God’s people’s rebellion against Him is complete. We are at that point in history when the fullness of the gentiles is coming to completion and the conspiracy against God and His people will bring forth the One World Order.
It will be the most evil of all the world governments, under the Antichrist – the one whom Satan will enter, who is against the Christ, the cross, the resurrection and salvation. Satan is fighting for every last soul to become his before he is finally taken down by the Christ, who has allowed man the free will to choose between good and evil, between life and death, between worshiping God and worshiping Satan. The people will be deceived into believing that Jesus did not rise from the dead to save anyone.
The Bible makes it very clear that the spiritual river waters flowing out of the empires ruled by Satan, need to be changed in our lives. Without Jesus, this could never have happened, for the pure water of God comes only from the Rock of our salvation. This is the reason for Moses first striking the rock with his rod to bring forth water. It demonstrated man’s need for Jesus who would allow Himself to be struck in man’s place in order to take man’s sin upon Himself, so that the pure, spiritual, river water, which surrounded the Garden under God’s rule could be returned to God’s people in this wilderness of a world ruled by Satan.
In the second instance of bringing water from the rock, Moses was required to use his voice to speak to the rock, before it would yield its water. This represents the voice of the bride of the church speaking to the rock, calling upon the Lord spiritually for the sake of others. However, in Moses’ failure to do so and, instead, striking the rock for a second time, we see the prophetic picture of the failure of today’s church, which has been called to be the voice of truth and the picture of liberty to the world. Instead, it is striking the rock for a second time as Jesus is separated from the institutional church in order for it to join the coming One World Religion.
Yes, Mr. Hannity, the people who spoke on your panel last night were very correct. America does need to return to God, and to the Bible, with special attention being given to the book of Proverbs, with the application of its truths in their lives; it is the only way for this country to be healed.
How dare we spit the message of “No God” into His face, when He has blessed this land with such abundance! Of course, it is because of our ungrateful hearts and lack of gratitude that we are now losing it to the demonic leadership of the liberal progressives and their lies, having chosen them over the truth. God will take our homes, our wealth and our food away from us and He will even remove us from the land and scatter us among the other nations with which we are having a love affair.
“In all your getting, get understanding (Proverbs 4:7).”
Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding (Proverbs 10:13).
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34).
“The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, or the primeval dust of the world. When He prepared the heavens, I was there, when He drew a circle on the face of the deep, when He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep, when He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters would not transgress His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside Him, as a master craftsman; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him, rejoicing in His inhabited world, and my delight was with the sons of men.
Now therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it. Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love death (Proverbs 8:22-36).”
Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20)!
