There can be no doubt about it; Sarah Palin is God’s man! With countless biblical and historical illustrations paving the way before her, she is yet another fulfillment of that old passage in Isaiah 3:12, “Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path.” The nation Israel was turning away from God in Isaiah’s time. When women rule, it is a sure sign of this change. Youths and women will always lead when men fail to. It is a sign and judgment from God that His people are moving away from His divine order to one of their own making. This is, “Change - that we can believe in.” When women lead, it is never a sign of God’s blessing but it sure is,“Change.”
Indeed, this judgment manifested itself long ago in the Democratic Party. This is the party where the women are women and the men are too. Or should I say, the women are men or at least they want to be? In the upside down world of the Democrats, women lead and men busy themselves getting in touch with their feminine side. Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer, et. al., are leading and whining, while Harry Reid, Chuckie Schumer, Barney Frank, Joe Biden, ad nauseam, are all competing for “face time” in front of the camera and whining about being victims of the Christian Right.
Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton (youths oppress my people and women rule over them) are obvious judgments upon a party that hates God. The absolute homage that must be paid to abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, and any false religion but true Christianity, is indicative of a people who hate God, “…all who hate me love death.” Proverbs 8:36. Its visceral hatred toward anyone Godly can be traced to the Garden of Eden where God pronounced a curse upon the serpent, “And I will put enmity (hatred) between you and the woman and between her seed and yours…” Genesis 3:15. Democrats hate real Christians.
They don’t know why they hate Sarah so much, they just do. They are ignorant (I did not say stupid) of the motivating factor that causes their hatred of true Christianity. Their infantile loathing of men and women like George Bush or Sarah Palin knows no bounds. It is a manifestation of the battle between two seeds in Genesis 3:15. Democrats will tolerate any god known to man except the God of the Bible. Why? Because He is God and there is no other. Poor Democrats. That means they can’t be god. That makes them very angry and very whiny. These are not happy people. Witness Hollywood’s scorn and utter disdain for Sarah and George.
Sarah Palin is also a sign and judgment from God upon His church. Sarah has been appointed by God Himself to demonstrate that all is not well in the Church of Jesus Christ. If it is not well here, it will certainly not be well in the Republican Party, the city, the state, or the nation. God looked for a man and He found a woman. This should not be a cause for rejoicing in the church. It is not sign of progress. It is a sign of rebellion against God’s order. It is not Sarah’s rebellion – it is the rebellion of God’s church.
Sarah fought battles and won them in the strong Name of Jesus in her local PTA. She took on political corruption in her city. She battled the state and city bureaucrats of Alaska and, with God’s help, brought a measure of integrity back to a government that had become a political cesspool. Many of the most corrupt folks she exposed were oil executives and members of her own Party. Sarah is indeed, God’s man.
If anyone doubts the miraculous hand of Almighty God in her selection to be the Vice-President, he only need consider the impossibility of it all. It took the hopeless situation of the “original maverick” to move his heart toward Sarah. His campaign was dead in the water. “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases.” Proverbs 21:1.
God allowed John McCain to become a real maverick in his Party by using McCain’s unwavering commitment to pragmatism and compromise to accomplish His will. God caused him to reach further “across the aisle’ than he had ever reached before, to a group of people that he had never reached before – evangelical Christians. Senator McCain has no innate love for Christians. He does, however, have a deep desire to be elected President of the United States.
Sarah would never have moved up in the Republican hierarchy any other way. Too much Jesus! This was the miraculous work of God. Why so? Because Republicans hate the Jesus in Sarah as much as the Democrats do. Yes, the battle between two seeds (Genesis 3:15) also exists in the Republican Party.
God directed John McCain to pluck, from out of nowhere, the Governor of Alaska to be his running mate. Don’t call John McCain brilliant – this was God’s pick. Sarah Palin is a dynamic Christian woman who has proved faithful in the little and is now being moved to a position to be faithful in the much. She is ready! She has lion and bear stories that have brought her through God’s refining fire as pure gold. She is capable.
But, is she a sign of God’s blessing or God’s curse?
Unfortunately, national leaders in the evangelical church have misrepresented Sarah’s selection as a sign of blessing; “God is giving us one more chance!” They exclaimed. “God has raised up for us an Esther – a Deborah, to fight our battles!” Yes, national leaders who know God and expound His Biblical truths across the airwaves have become like Barak (Judges 4-5) waiting for a Deborah to fight for him. When women lead, it is a sign of God’s curse – not blessing. Irresponsible men retreat and only women are left to fight.
Before Sarah emerged on the scene, these national leaders were reluctantly considering abandoning a Party that had so often betrayed the God they love. They were struggling to vote for any of the Presidential choices they were given; Romney, Giuliani, and McCain. There seemed to be no hope for the Party. Several of them met in Salt Lake City a few months ago to consider what they should do. “Do we start a third Party?” “Do we sit this election out?” They broke out in fervent prayer weeping before God that He would send them a sign.
Along came Sarah. Hallelujah! When Senator McCain announced his vice presidential nominee on Thursday morning, September 11, 2008, a huge sigh of relief was heard sweeping across God’s church. The evangelical church was again going to place its faith in the Republican Party – not God. Yes, now we have Sarah! She will save us from big bad Barack Obama. She is the sign we have been looking for. How wrong they were!
Just as Pharaoh was no help to Israel in Isaiah’s time, the Republican Party is no friend of ours at this time. It is pretend salt. It looks like salt, talks like salt, seeks the vote and friendship of salt. But, when the test of taste comes, it is revealed for what it really is – a tasteless enabler of perdition. That’s right! The Republican Party has never found a cause for which it is willing to die. It simply wants to attain or remain in office. It needs us now. It will give us a Sarah, but then it will go on its merry way compromising every principle in God’s Word, just like it always has. It cherishes our vote but hates our voice.
The problem is that we, the salt of the earth, are more than happy to remain in the salt shaker and let others (Republicans) fight our battles. Our trust is in the Republican Party – not Almighty God! Sarah Palin’s miraculous rise in the Republican Party is a sign from God Himself that this is true. We fear Barack Obama so much that we are going to ally ourselves once again with the pretend salt of the Republican Party. Sarah Palin is simply the bait to bring us safely back on to the Republican plantation - to that broken reed (Pharaoh) that pierces a man’s hand. Isaiah 36:6. Pharaoh was no more Israel’s friend than the Republican Party is ours.
“Woe to the obstinate children,” declares the Lord, “to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; who go down to Egypt without consulting me; who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection, to Egypt’s shade for refuge. But Pharaoh’s protection will be your shame and Egypt’s shade will bring you disgrace…” Isaiah 30:1-3.
Sarah Palin is God’s judgment upon those of us who claim His Name in America. He is calling Christian men to repent of their natural propensity toward apathy and sloth, and run to the roar of the battle in the name of Christ. Authority always follows responsibility. When Christian men repent and return to their rightful places of responsibility (priest, provider, protector) all authority will return to them. Men will lead once again. And the gates of hell will not prevail. Deborah said it this way, “When the princes (not princesses) of Israel take the lead, when the people willingly offer themselves – Praise the Lord!” Judges 5:2.
What is our hope? It remains the same as it was in Isaiah’s day. We must repent of our sin, and take our rightful place of responsibility at the exposed places of the city, and rebuild the wall. “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” Isaiah 30:15. Men, who claim the Name of Christ, have become irresponsible cowards relying on women and Republicans to fix those things that only God can fix. We say, “Thank God for Sarah,” never realizing that she is a sign and a judgment upon irresponsible Christian men.
She is God’s call to repentance for Christian men to return to our rightful place of leadership in the family, church, and civil government. Yes, God is fixing to get us into a fix that we can’t fix, so that He can fix us. In case you haven’t noticed God has more disaster than our federal government has relief. Fires in the west, tornadoes and floods in the Midwest, hurricanes in the south, financial chaos in the east, our enemies getting rich while God drains our wealth, murder in our workplaces, streets and schools. O, what to do?
God makes a promise to His wayward people in Isaiah’s time that if they would repent and return to Him, He will return to them. “O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious He will be when you cry for help. As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord has given you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction your teachers will be hidden no more. With your own eyes you will see them …your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Isaiah 30:19-21.
Sarah’s story is a sign for all of us who love God to return to Him. Sarah is a Christian who actually believes the God of the Bible. She is one of us. The Republican Party would never allow someone like her to move up into power. Only a God trying desperately to get our attention could and would do something like this.
Indeed, this judgment manifested itself long ago in the Democratic Party. This is the party where the women are women and the men are too. Or should I say, the women are men or at least they want to be? In the upside down world of the Democrats, women lead and men busy themselves getting in touch with their feminine side.
