The day that our tax money begins to pay into a health care system that subsidizes abortion will be a momentous occasion in the spiritual realm. It will be one of those days that history looks back on, as being a point on which the fate of a nation turned.
If our tax money goes to pay for abortions, or other grievous actions, and we are aware yet continue to pay into the system, we will be guilty of 'partaking of its sins'.
Whether or not you are aware of the importance of that day, God is going to be watching us closely. On that day, each of us is faced with a decision. Will we passively 'go with the flow' and become undeniably complicit in this national sin--or will we do whatever it takes to see that we are not involved?
To not make a decision IS a decision! Will we, as individuals, have the courage and character to repent of our national sin of abortion by resisting this policy and refusing to participate or enable it in any way? At what point will we begin to take sin seriously enough to put aside our personal comfort and safety to be reconciled to God through repentance? Nothing will change if we keep going with the flow!
Evolution does not occur! But disintegration does! Time and inaction will not bring about improvement! At some point we have to dig in our heels and say: 'I will not go one step further in this direction'! If you find yourself on the wrong train, don't you stand up and ask the conductor to stop the train so that you can get off?
Who do you fear more, God or the government?
Will we do the right thing, and trust Him who is able to protect us to look out for our safety--or will we follow the path of least resistance, surrendering our integrity for a security that, I guarantee you, will not last?
God is testing our character--individually, and as a nation. He is allowing each of us to be brought to this place of decision--and the decisions we make will decide our national and personal destinies.
Although we may personally be able to avoid judgment for actions our government takes that we are unaware of, and don't directly participate in--we are aware now, and will be personally guilty of participating if we continue to provide tax dollars to a government that murders.
Lightning may not strike the White House on that day, but our country will surely begin to suffer God's judgment, if we continue to proceed in that direction. Without His blessing upon us, we will suffer at the hands of our own government, our enemies, the weather, and natural disasters. Mark my words.
Nationally, we have been deserving of judgment from the time of the passage of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, but God has been patient with us and has given us time to repent. We haven't. If our nation doesn't soon change course, our nation will bear God's judgment: hunger, plagues, and wars (that we lose . . . on American soil. . . ).
I believe the time is fast approaching when God will call upon His people to 'come out of' our corrupt economic system (Babylon the Great). I don't know exactly how we go about this ('coming out of' the system). We will each have to seek God's wisdom as to how to proceed. But perhaps that call pertains to this day as well. If every devout Christian and pro-life citizen in America would go on strike beginning that day, as a matter of conscience, perhaps things would begin to turn.
Maybe the time has arrived, to start thinking about coming out.
