RELIGION AND POLITICS

Dear One, Be cautious when My children combine an established religion with politics. It creates a monster. The Jews did it and they failed as a country, Germany did it and destroyed millions of Jews because they rejected Jesus.

When religion and politics combine, the resulting attitude is "us" versus "them," which is the work of division and conflict. Politics always divides and religion always divides. There are religious denominations. In an equation the denominator is the number which divides into the numerator. It's the same thing with religion, it divides. Jesus came into the earth to unite people with Me. When My children are united with Me, there are no denominations, no denominators. I am the central being of unity. It's like the spokes on a wheel. The spokes are not unified at any place, but each spoke is attached to the outer rim and the center. When spokes break and come into contact with other spokes, the wheel becomes unbalanced and is unable to perform its appointed purpose. The secret for My children is that they become united with Me and in doing that they work together with My other children who are in unity with Me. That way, there is no interference from the evil one to influence My children. Jesus asked Me that those who would follow Him would become one just as He and I are One. You are One with Jesus when you are One with Me. You are one with others when you are One with Me. When you are unified with Me, I am your central focus. Then My Holy Spirit is your tutor in spiritual matters. You are still in unity with My other children who are also in unity with Me. You will notice in religion that the churches or denominations themselves can become the central focus in the lives of the members instead of Me being the unifier. Keeping the religion going and growing becomes the main focus. The same thing is true with politics. The party becomes the main focus, winning the elections and becoming in control of the nation through a political party. So politics becomes a religion in itself with the elected officials as the supposed saviors. When earthly saviors fail you, when religion and politics are combined you just get another person to be your savior and go on endeavoring to get power though another human source. In religion you go to another church or denomination or find another human savior to follow. So it's divide and conquer all over again. I am waiting in the wings the entire time for My children who have been deceived by earthly religions and political parties. They have never saved anyone. They only divide and cause conflict. I am the only Being who is the perfect Savior and the perfect unifier. I don't endeavor to make a perfect religion or a perfect denomination or a perfect political party. I am your perfect Father, your provider, your protector, your source of wisdom, your source of knowledge, your deliverer, your guide, your standard in all things, your healer, your peace, your righteousness and your teacher. When your focus is on Me, you can meet with any denomination or religion and still keep our focus on Me, appreciating the differences because you know that My Spirit will do His work of discerning of spirits and teach you. Be cautious of people who combine religion and politics. The motive behind it is to gain power over people by creating an "us" versus "them" society, rejecting the people who believe differently. The narrow way that leads to the abundant life is to be in unity with Me and then you will be in unity with all people, not just a few select ones.who have culled the poor, the diseased, the demon possessed and the politically diverse people from their midst. The narrow way will lead you to be in unity with Me, the One who saves the poor, the diseased, the demon possessed and the depressed people of the world, of which you once were. Seek My kingdom, not a kingdom of the world, and everything good will be added to you. Your Loving Father Matthew 8:33-34; Matthew 5:20; Matthew 6:13; Matthew 7:13-14; Matthew 12:25; John 3:16-17; John 12:32; Luke 17:20-21; Luke 25:33-46; Romans 14:17-19. .
