I would like to say WOW, but even that is giving this atrocity more than it deserves. When I think about why would an educational institution that was originally founded upon Godly principles choose an atheist to be its head chaplain I actually cannot find any good reason for it. There is nothing about being anti-God that makes this right in any form you want to shape it into and there is also no equivocal justification for spitting in the face of God, which is exactly what they are doing.

The fact is most or maybe all of the educational institutions that began with Godly intent to educate the citizens of this great nation in its beginning have all been turned over to liberal idea-logs who only have one intent in mind and that is the removal of the power and integrity the United States has held in its worldly presentation. Which unfortunately will include its spiritual institutions – churches – as well. These people are evil in the realm of elite thinking meaning they believe they are the only ones worthy of a higher premise of power which in their minds includes even the God of all the universe. But all this is not the real thrust of what has happened here, the real issue isn’t about what these liberal educators do but about what Christians won’t do as a result of a lack of truth from the pulpits.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, for the last 20 years or so the manner of the narrated transcript that flows from most of the pulpits is now so worldly in its construct that believers are more in appearance as unbelievers than any true Christ representative. Churches and ministry organizations bank on the dynamics of what they do to draw individuals in and then indoctrinate using messages from the pulpit so watered down with worldly mannerisms the truth that is to be revealed by scripture becomes so confounded most congregants don’t even try to live as a child of God. That makes this decision appear more as a spiritual conflict in the eyes of God than an opinionated one.

The following is in contrast to what the leaders of the churches want to do today in order to stay alive because it tells the truth about who they should be but instead has chosen to change the family order. { Eph 4:27 (AMP) Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]. For every believer, it is important to know Satan or the devil, is not out to be your friend or anyone’s friend for that matter, in fact, he is the most dangerous and destructive influence on this earth next to humanity itself. He will kill you if he can. This is probably the most misunderstood aspect of Christianity in that many are believing he cannot touch them.

Eph 6:11 ^(AMP) Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. The fact he is a foe to be reckoned with, God has set aside a full set of armor for His offspring to use while in this time of life. An armor that is not made of natural elements but of supernatural power and spiritually equips the child of God to do battle in warfare, not of flesh and blood. And it comes with a manual (word of God) and even a trainer to show us how to use it, (Holy Spirit) and you must use it against the devil and the forces of darkness working here. But if you are not being trained in how to do combat against evil then any attempt you make will most likely end in your defeat or worse even your life.

2 Tim 2:26 ^(AMP) And that they may come to their senses [and] escape out of the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him, [henceforth] to do His [God’s] will. Believers have been redeemed from the curse and every snare the devil will try to set against them, but too many are captured again and again. A result of ignorance and lack of truths necessary to get a strong foothold in faith to stand bold in the authority of Christ. This is what God want’s to make sure does not happen again and again in their life and reason enough the Holy Spirit is to be an active participant.

James 4:7 ^(AMP) So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you. The term resists in this verse does mean what we generally think of when using it, as it also has a tense associated that refers to you being in an opposite manner. In other words, one of the best ways to ensure the devil flees from your presence is to be like one who is of an opposite nature to him, God. Now I know you’re not God how can you be Godlike! Let us start with the fact if you are born again then you are a son or daughter of God and the very essence of Him abides in you.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Along with this is the fact the assurance He is in you is laid out in the scriptures as He says the Holy Spirit who is to come will be with you and in you. John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Everyone begins life as a sinner under the influence of spiritual darkness and walking in a sinful nature. Whether one realizes it or not, that is just what the devil purposes for them to do. As when one lies they line up with the devil who is the father of lies, when one steals it is as the one who is the chief thief, when one purposely deceives someone they are lining up with his work as the deceiver of all. 

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Jesus was not trying to be insulting to those He told this to but was revealed that their desire to act like the devil acts leaves them to be as he is, as this is the manner of living they held on to. Since they had rejected what He said to them previously because they wanted to continue to live as they had always done, live by the manner of life the devil inspires and not in an opposite manner to him.

Ps 51:1-17 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. ² Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. ⁴ Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. David saw the truth of who he was in the sight of God, a sinner who needs a savior. An important fact here is that he recognized the sin he so diligently was seeking forgiveness of is against God only. It is the same today, any sin is still against God, revealing a nature that is carnally driven and the opposite of His Divine nature.  ⁵ Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. ⁶ Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. ⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Unbeknownst to David at that time, is that the blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God would be shed to do just that, wash us all clean and white as snow. ⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. ⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. ¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. ¹² Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

David understood God was his salvation from his life of sin and darkness, and he knew the presence of the Spirit of God was needed to be free of it. The sacrifices he talks about here are not of life but of living if restored in God’s righteousness. ¹³ Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. ¹⁴ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. ¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. ¹⁶ For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Every work of sin and darkness has an association with the devil’s works. He has come to kill, steal, and destroy. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The devil is called the prince of the power of the air, not in reference to the air we breathe but to the atmosphere covering the earth where spiritual forces abide affecting nations, and governments, and even churches.

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: As the prince of darkness, the devil is working to bring it into place wherever he can as it causes destruction of God’s creation of life both natural and spiritual. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. He is the only accuser of the brethren or believers in Christ and he is the only one who has ever come before God to accuse you of sin. Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

So, as I said he will kill you if he gets a chance but that is not what God has laid out for you, He has set you in a life to be lived with power and authority over the devil in Christ’s name. When one enters into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ they entered into the Family of God. A family situated in righteousness and endowed with power and authority. John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

God has brought every believer into His family to be as sons and daughters to Him, and He is influencing His Family by the Holy Spirit through the relationship of Jesus Christ, His Son. A believer is to be influenced and trained up to live a Manner of Life that is not subject to darkness, but rather a life that radiates the glory of God. Thus, when one speaks the truth they are lining up with the One who is the truth. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Believers living in contrast to the evils and wickedness around them are taking a stand in opposition to it and presenting themselves as sons and daughters of God. This scares the devil and his minions as it reveals a work of the power and authority of God is present. However, those who surrender to the ways of a world fully influenced by an enemy that is only out to destroy them reveal such truths are either not in their knowing or understanding or they have chosen to change family relations and become as a child of the devil for the sake of the world. The virtue that abides in a relationship with the God of all creation far exceeds anything the devil or humanity can adorn, but when thinking becomes more about power than righteousness the inevitable occurs, evils in the midst of the righteous who occupy the spiritual sanctuaries.
