Isaiah 58 Ministries May 19, 2013
Pastor: Leah Svensson
Ringing the notes of FREEDOM
With the IRS scandal making headlines across the nation, I'd like to point out the whole tax exempt idea is an American catastrophe. Did you know that every principle outlined in the
Declaration of Independence was first preached in the pulpits of
America, every single minister, every single patriot would be on today's government's watch lists or targets of the IRS? I laugh because the truth of it is incredibly absurd.
If Christian ministers had not preached and prayed, there might have been no revolution as yet - or had it broken out, it might have been crushed.( Bibliotheca Sacra [BRITISH PERIODICAL], 1856) Indeed, our ministers were the ones who rang the liberty bell, showed men and women, THROUGH SCRIPTURE,
their Divine, and Natural Rights- that they did not derive from
human contrivance but from God. Indeed, John Adams rejoiced that "the
pulpits have thundered" and specifically identified several ministers as being among the "characters the most conspicuous, the most ardent, and influential" in the "awakening and a revival of American principles and feelings" that led to American independence.
This does not fly with the current tax rules that organizations need to only have a certain portion of their speech political. Putting aside the argument of taxes in general, the political gag rule ties people in knots and causes those who SHOULD speak out in governmental issues to not speak out- or lose tax exempt status. This is anti- liberty, and unnatural for anyone. As a body of men, the clergy were pre-eminent in their attachment to liberty. The pulpits of the land rang with the notes of freedom. (The American Quarterly Register [MAGAZINE], 1833) We need government, we need good government, and we need our ministers to step back in the spot light and help the American people find their way again.
The IRS needs to know it is NOT all powerful, the buck does NOT stop with them. and most importantly, effectively shutting Christianity and Judaism into political silence with fear.
This rings true This organization has made itself both judge and jury,
convicting men and women at will, seizing assets and income with the flick
of a pen,e of the tyrannical king-god-man, we overthrew, who, too felt he
had ultimate power.
A disproportionate number of conservative groups, religious groups as well, were targeted, unfairly in the years leading up to an election. All the while, liberal groups seeking the same status got a pass. This
is evidence enough the the IRS can and is used
as a political tool. The irony- they were singling out groups for being too political. Ha! Franklin Graham, son of the Reverend Billy Graham wrote a scathing letter to Obama and Biden for what he believed to be unfair targeting of his ministry because of ads they had put out during election season...
Can we say "gag order?"
This is also a condemnation of the ministry today, who has become impotent in the cause of liberty, a sounding voice for liberty and justice no more. In sermons about weight loss and how the founder of the Hilton hotels was led by God, they are not unable to truly "set the captives free, " or explain that liberties are a gift from God. John Wise was a Congregationalist minister from Massachusetts and an ardent early supporter of American independence.
John Wise wrote an essay read by our founding fathers title "Democracy Is Founded in Scripture" In this essay, Wise lays out the Biblical argument for democracy, believing that God had ordained a natural law
that was superior to civil law, and since God had made all men free, any restriction of that freedom was by definition unholy. Wise thought monarchy and aristocracy contradicted Christ’s ministry because they “subverted the design of the Gospel, and the end for
which Christ’s government was ordained, viz., the moral,
spiritual, and eternal happiness of men.”
Ministry in America today is nothing more than mere
puppets on a string spouting the Gospel of the Devil.
Witchcraft.
If God were with minsters today, they would be on fire for the truth and power of the
Word of God and his Holy Spirit's purposes in the earth
to bring forth the freedom and Liberty of God Almighty
to the saving of souls from this evil regime trying to lord over the American people!
IE: Women are not free to go to work, women are freed by God to stay home and
raise their children! Women are not free to abort their pregnancies!! No one is free to
murder another human being. Men are free to provide
for their wives and children and if they work for someone they have to be
paid enough to provide for their wives and children!! Government is not free to
remove God but free and commanded only to judge
and rule according to the truth of the
Word of God! Anyone and everyone
are free and responsible to use the
word of God to show their rights come
from God and Government must
uphold those rights!!!
People are freed by God to know that they don't need hardly anything they world says they have to have to be successful and happy! The brainwashing that goes on in America by the
media and government is completely against the
Law.
All Americans have the right to know
that Life is fair, just and holy. Only evil
people cause things to be unfair,
unjust and unholy!
