So Many Divisions, So Little Time

By Bill Wilson

The Pharisees tried to claim that Jesus was casting out devils by the power of the prince of devils. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in Matthew 12:25-26, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?”

It is in this example the very point that division results in destruction. And it is at this point where America stands today. It is divided. The enemies of America are succeeding in dividing our nation into little segments that cause confusion, anger, bitterness and more. We must attain clarity or we will face destruction.

There are those who have worked for centuries in causing this division. They are those who pit people against one another. They are those who instigate race issues, social issues, financial issues, religious issues and so on. They are those who point the finger at everyone else and accuse them of doing the very thing that they themselves are doing.

The American ideal throughout history has been one of freedom of speech, religious expression, self-preservation and the pursuit of life. These are freedoms inspired by the Lord, for He is freedom. Yet the very ones who claim others are trying to take their “rights” away, are the ones who wish to place those very rights, those freedoms of others, in chains.

We tend to watch politics. We look at how Democrats and Republicans fight it out and unscrupulously exist to undermine one another with the very citizens they represent caught in the middle as pawns on a giant national chessboard. We look at the extraordinary confusion created by this infighting among citizen representatives.

There is massive confusion emanating from the pulpit of so-called “men of God” about whether to participate in the governance of our country, to spend our time on self improvement because that’s what God wants, to join church country clubs that line pockets with money, but do only enough to help the needy that it makes those giving feel good about themselves. We have issues.

People, we need to repent of these issues and divisions. Jesus said in John 10:10, “The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” The divisions we face as a nation right now can destroy us.

There are those who foment such division that their result is theft, death, and destruction. 1 Corinthians 14:33 says, “” God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

Golly folks! The confusion around the elections, around doctrine, around right and wrong is not of the Lord. It is of Satan. The divisions we see are not of the Lord. They are of Satan. We must see things more clearly, test our hearts, understand the Scripture, discern the spirits, otherwise destruction awaits.

Shut out the noise of the world. Pray for clarity. Act on the Lord’s Word. Be guided by the Holy Spirit.
