"But God Hath Revealed..."
1 Cor. 2:9, says "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Now, if you stop here, you will think that God hath not revealed to us the things that he have prepared for us; and most Pastors stop at this scripture. But if you read the next verse it says "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God, and verse 16 says, we have the mind of Christ.

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be you reconciled to God." - 2 Corinthians 5:20
Websters dictionary defines an ambassador as: 1. an official envoy ; especially : a diplomatic agent of the highest rank accredited to a foreign government or sovereign as the resident representative of his or her own government or sovereign or appointed for a special and often temporary diplomatic assignment, and, 2. a: an authorized representative or messenger b: an unofficial representative [traveling abroad as ambassadors of goodwill].
I am not a Republican.
And I am not a Democrat.
I am not even an American anymore!
I am an ambassador for Christ!
You can pledge your allegiance to a flag, or to a party, or to something of this wicked and sinful world if you so desire; but, I pledge my allegiance to the Lamb of God, and to Word of truth - the Holy Bible - the Word of God, and to the kingdom of God for which I stand. If that makes me some kind of a terrorist, in the eyes of these people, then let them come and put me away; I don't stand for what they stand for, no sir, and I won't - because they stand against Christ!
Yes sir, that's what we are. We are Christians, we are pilgrims and strangers in this world and to each of those nations in which we are dwelling, and our focus is on the priorities of that kingdom of God which we are here representing! We are ambassadors, and we are only here for a season, and right before Yahweh God declares war on this world (and burns America; turns it into hell, a place of burning and torment) we will be called back to our host nation! This world is not our home, and we should never be discouraged by the things we see happening around us (most of which are the direct fulfillment of the Word), but should instead be encouraged that of all these things are happening! Because they show us that the Bible is true, and we are living in the end times, and that everything else which is promised to us will be fulfilled; including, and especially, our call back to our host nation by our heavenly King! Look around, see the evil days, be encouraged; America is dead, and she is going to burn soon, but we are focused on making as many citizens of those around us to our host nation as we can before we are called home! Get excited my brothers and sisters; there won't be a national revival in America, but some of those who hear the Word will change their citizenship, and that in itself is the fulfillment of the Word for our day! Be encouraged, and look up, for the time of our redemption is drawing near! Amen, and amen.
Lock me in some cell,
And throw away the key,
I'll still be going soon!
The truth is marching on!
Amen, and amen.
