Sarah
Palin ...A Christian perspective
God
sent Sarah Palin to "stir the stew" and speak to the heart
and soul of a slumbering nation:
It seems that almost
everyone is focusing on what Sarah Palin might do in the next
presidential election without considering what (by the Grace
of God) Sarah has already
set in motion within the supernatural realm. God used Sarah
Palin in the past presidential
election, not so much to prepare her for a presidential run
in 2012, but to graphically
display the sorry state of don't-rock-the-boat/see-no-evil-hear-no-evil
Christian men in
America. God
was looking for a man to speak for Him and he found him in a woman:
The
primary reason Sarah Palin is so intensely exposed to the sting of mockery and bad
press is because of her straightforward proclamation
that Jesus Christ is her Savior and
Lord. What is more, Sarah Palin is seen as a "spoiler" who is a
threat and danger to what
Satan has carefully and successfully crafted within our
institutions over the past fifty years.
There is good reason to believe that Satan is enraged and obsessed with Sarah
Palin, and
that his frustrations with Sarah are manifesting
through those whom Satan has under his
control.
Mockery is a powerful bullying tool used to exert power over and groom the weak
into predictable, run-of-the-mill creatures of a
controlled environment. When the sting
of mockery falls, the fragile
disassociate themselves from that which is mocked. Sarah has
endured and pressed on in the face of intense mockery
for His cause. It wasn't that Satan
ran out of "ammo", he has thrown everything
at Sarah Palin but she remains impervious
to any weapon formed against her ...God's
grace is sufficient.
Sarah Palin serves,
in part, as a high-profile rallying point for multitudes held captive
by the sting of mockery and demonstrates for all
to see that being mocked and portrayed
as socially unacceptable is survivable. Those who
have been waiting in the wings for
someone worthy to emulate are inspired by Sarah's
"disobedience" and courage to swim
against the tide of popular opinion. Only God
knows how many who were held captive by
the sting of mockery have been set free by Sarah
Palin's example.
Those in the media who are stuggling with "Palin
Psychosis" and who are supernaturally
driven to tarnish Sarah Palin's image and dim the
Light that is within her, are oblivious to
the fact that they serve as a dark and scary backdrop
against which Sarah's joy and radiance
sparkle all the more in the eyes of the
discerning.
"The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome
it." John 1:5
Just as the diabolical onslaught of the 1960s came suddenly, Sarah Palin's
arrival on the
national scene was abrupt and unexpected. Immediately,
Sarah Palin stood out like fire-in-
the-night against the backdrop of deceitful pretenders
who run Washington. Many disillusioned
voters tasted the flavor of steak and wondered how
they could have been so gullible as to be
satisfied with the cheese sandwiches that have been
served up for so long.
It's getting late in the day
and God is looking for a commitment. He demands that we take
all of Him or none. The person of Sarah Palin is on
display and sends the message that wavering
between two opinions is no longer a luxury Christians
can afford, and that it is now time to
embrace reality. Sarah Palin has crossed the
Rubicon; she is committed, unwavering and unapologetic
in the face of intense hostility. Those who
have a yearning to be more than a controlled, predictable,
unremarkable creature of the ever-fading, diabolical
world environment are spurred on by Sarah
Palin's example.
The Night's Coming On
This year
will usher in a period of persecution for American Christians like we have
never before experienced. We are already seeing signs
of this. It is a time for the testing of our
mettle and a time to invest in eternity. When we
pretend that the battle isn't real it dulls our
spiritual senses, and to embrace the tapioca
fluff of pious escapism is a display of stunning
cowardice. We are not surprised by evil. We are
expecting it and we can live life without being
controlled by it. In this life we suffer
for a little while but the sting of persecution loses its bite
when we focus on the immeasurable everlasting
to everlasting.
Sarah
Palin, the tenacious and brilliant woman who single-handedly took on the
corrupt
political establishment in her state of Alaska has, in
all likelihood, been sent by God to irritate,
awaken and revitalize a slumbering nation and (to a
large degree) a submissive, frightened church.
Sarah's authenticity, integrity and dedication to everything that is lovely is heart-transforming.
Forget
what Sarah Palin might do in 2012, let's look at what--by the grace of God--she
has already
set in motion.
