Changing American politics
The Independence Movement: empowering citizen government to rise above party politics, special interests, mob democracy and money power to reestablish freedom and liberty.
Two thousand years ago Christ came and was rejected by a people who were only expecting a political Messiah. They could not accept Christ in His spiritual role as High Priest.
Many in our day likewise are blind; rejecting the coming Messiah’s (1.) political system by rejecting their own individual sovereignty and the responsibilities of self-rule. There are great political implications when we see God’s Rule as self-rule and constitutionally limited government as God’s Government. Rejection of self-rule is a rejection of God (2.). Socialism (America’s greatest threat) is Marxist, a rejection of self rule and also represents most of what our modern governments do. Marx is the false prophet identified in the book of Revelation. Instead of utopia his system leads to the establishment of Hell on earth.
The Bible teaches that when Christ comes again we shall see him as he is for we shall be like him (3.) and that we likewise are to be Kings and Priests unto God (4). The unofficial motto of the American Revolution was, “no king but King Jesus”. This enabled the individual sovereignty of the People and the establishment of the American form of government. We plainly see that the blessings of God followed.
In many ways, we are as apostate from limited government and the Christian principals of self-rule as many at the time of Christ were apostate from the spirituality of God’s kingdom. The consequences of this apostasy are very grave. We are nearing an end of time. Our enemies are combined and conspiring against us and the judgments of God hang over us. Our only salvation is to return to Christ and claim the divine heritage that, by covenant, can yet be ours. The Lord promised He will restore our political leaders as at the first. This precedes our return to righteousness (5.). This is your invitation and calling to be a part of this great work.
Can Christianity Save the Conservative Movement and the Republic?
It has been said of politics, and we believe it is true, that the work accomplished at the organizing level is a thousand times more effective than anything done after, including voting on Election Day.
It is time to realize that we are called to the great work of saving the Republic. This is Christ’s work. Recognizing that the judgment seat (all political power) belongs to Christ regardless of who temporarily occupies a position changes everything. We prepare for the great marriage of heaven and earth by how we conduct ourselves politically as well as spiritually. By organizing as constitutional conservative Christians we can be a thousand times more effective.
The independence movement is a way to accomplish this organization, return to our Christian heritage roots and claim the divine promises that can be ours. This is not a new political party, but a more just, effective and powerful way to put our candidates ahead of party politics, special interests, mob democracy and money power. Many people are disgusted with current politics, anxious for a real change and generous in giving time if called upon for something important. The timing may never be better.
Remember, the Republican Party was organized by Christian conservatives at a time of great political dissatisfaction. They captured 100 seats in congress the very first year and put their man, Abraham Lincoln, in the white house the sixth year. A citizen’s organization using the Biblical concept of calling the many (a massive grass roots Christian Movement) supporting those chosen (involve everyone in issuing the call to put a few candidates upon the ballet) (6.) is powerful and just makes sense. We can return to our Christian heritage roots. Our candidates can be given an edge on Election Day. We follow Christ not by seeking our own will, but by following him whose representative we are striving to be.
Politically, we should support those who are likewise so governed.
When a politician stands before the people to make promises of what the future will be if they are elected, they are a type of a prophet. We are warned that in our day many would be false and that accepting their speech would give us wolves in sheep’s clothing. The antidote given in scripture is to know them by their fruits (7.). Our entire political system now chooses leaders by what they say. “Wolves in sheep’s clothing” is a good description of what we have in politics.
By going deeper before issuing the call, many problems can be eliminated later. We also know that the Devil was known by the name of accuser before the world (8.). Many of his followers gain power by this some tactic. The Devil and worldly followers go forth to deceive the nations (sounds very political), but are eventually shut up for 1000 years (9.). If we are to be heard and be able to shut up the evil (personally stop listening to their rhetoric and replace it with truth) we must be organized.
You are needed. The book “The Restoration of our Republic” is available and covers the concepts and principals of the Independence Movement. We are anxious for feedback, comments and book corrections if needed. Also tell us if there are areas where we can make it clearer or where editing would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your love of America and help at this very important time. We can change history.
