Letters From God – 10/6/22

This series of Letters From God is an attempt to put the thoughts of God as revealed in the Scriptures as they relate to individuals and the nation of the USA.

QUESTION:
Why Are Politicians Telling So Many Lies?

Sadly, you are awash in lies. Not that this hasn’t been true in the past to one degree or another, but you are moving into unprecedented areas in the present.
Your President alone is setting new records. Some of the many include, “the borders are secure.” and “we’re sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming,” “Our economy is strong.” “Our economy roared back faster than almost anyone predicted. “ “The right to vote is under assault.” “Republicans want to steal minorities right to vote.” “The supply train crisis isn’t that bad.“ “The greatest threat to our democracy is white supremacists.” “There will be no vaccine mandate.” These are just a few of the many lies being foisted upon your citizens in your country.
But why, you ask?
There are a number of reasons.
First, it the true heart condition of those who do not have or do not rely on my Spirit. Jeremiah the prophet, wrote on my behalf and said, “the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.” (Jeremiah 17:9). Your words either affirm your integrity if you are led by my Spirit or they reveal your sinful hearts.
My son, Jesus your Messiah, said it best when he stated, “for out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Matthew 12:34). In other words, if lies proceed out of the mouth it is because the heart is polluted.
Another reason politicians lie is that lies deceive and allow political leaders to gain or remain in power. “Power does corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” as expressed by Sir John Dalberg-Acton. Those in power, wish to stay in power and if lying serves their purpose, they will use it for their advantage. ‘It was interesting to watch David’s son, Absalom, lie to the citizens of my people, Israel, in order to gain their allegiance and support. He needed this because he was attempting a coup even though it would require the death of his father, David. He never succeeded but his attempt was marked with deceptions and lies (2 Samuel 15).
The final reason is because of your own sin which predisposes you to deception. If you stand for nothing you will always fall for anything. When you reject me, your God, you rely on your wisdom and insight into human motives and personality. You cannot see the core of the heart of an individual as I see them. Before me, nothing is hidden. In Psalm 139 I revealed, through David, my supernatural insights that you don’t possess. He said, “O Lord you have searched me, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.” (Psalm 139:1-2).
Listen to my words written to a Church in Thessalonica in which I stated the problem of being susceptible to lies, and what predisposed you to this problem. “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9–12).
Yes, there is coming a great world leader who will take lying to it most virulent form. You are already experiencing this environment which he will use to advance his cause. This lawless one will be inspired from hell. The Devil, Satan, is the father of lies. His lies caused Adam & Eve to sin against me and separated them from me, my power and my love. It would cause sin and death to pass through all generations. That is why I sent my son, Jesus. To pay your penalty of sin and restore those who return to me in humility and faith. This lawless one will deceive many with counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. But notice he will deceive those who are perishing. Those who are perishing are those who refuse to love the truth I have spoken about your need for a Savior. They are also the ones who “delight in wickedness.” In this condition you are at the mercy of the lawless liar whose powerful delusions will lead the perishing to be deceived and ultimately condemned.
Now you know why your leaders lie and why they are so effective. To get out of this fatal fate, you’re going to have to elect leaders who know and fear me. Will you believe me, trust me and rely on my Son, Jesus’ provision for your sins. If you do you can avoid their deceptions and be saved? I would love to have you back home with me, “the way, the truth and the life.” (John 14:6).

I love you,
God
