Holy Spirit’s burden for our Nation

The Church in Australia is sharing the burden of Holy Spirit for this nation, and this week freedom of religion will be discussed at a leadership level in politics

BEING YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF
1Samuel 17:28 When it was finally realized what David meant, someone told King Saul, and the king sent for him."Don't worry about a thing,"David told him."I'll take care of this Philistine!"
"Don't be ridiculous!"Saul replied."How can a kid like you fight with a man like him? You are only a boy, and he has been in the army since he was a boy!"
But David persisted."When I am taking care of my father's sheep,"he said,"and a lion or a bear comes and grabs a lamb from the flock, I go after it with a club and take the lamb from its mouth. If it turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death. I have done this to both lions and bears, and I'll do it to this heathen Philistine too, for he has defied the armies of the living God! The Lord who saved me from the claws and teeth of the lion and the bear will save me from this Philistine!"
Saul finally consented,"All right, go ahead,"he said,"and may the Lord be with you!"
Then Saul gave David his own armor--a bronze helmet and a coat of mail. David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like, for he had never worn such things before."I can hardly move!"he exclaimed, and took them off again. Then he picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them in his shepherd's bag and, armed only with his shepherd's staff and sling, started across to Goliath. Goliath walked out toward David with his shield-bearer ahead of him, sneering in contempt at this nice little red-cheeked boy!
"Am I a dog,"he roared at David,"that you come at me with a stick?"And he cursed David by the names of his gods. "Come over here and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals,"Goliath yelled.
David replied,"You come to me with a sword and a spear, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of the armies of heaven and of Israel--the very God whom you have defied. Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head; and then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! And Israel will learn that the Lord does not depend on weapons to fulfill his plans--he works without regard to human means or methods! He will give you to us!"

Spiritual warfare is now a powerful cooperation with the burden of the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit gives us a love for the truth and a contentment in God’s material provision
PROVERBS 30:7 O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die. First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches; Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?” and if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.

 

Holy Spirit speaks to each one of us to give wisdom in our particular situations
1John 2:26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

BEING PART OF THE CHOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE EARTH
There are many different gifts and ways to serve and bless and heal and encourage one another. This the Holy Spirit at work AS HE CHOOSES.
1Corinthians 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
We are part of that choice because of how we were created in eternity. These unique abilities get purified as God helps to move the motive and heart and thinking for the doing to be in rest and grace. We are part of that choice of Holy Spirit also as we see the Body of Christ in the multitude of denominations and different emphases of doctrine and structures.

Are Political parties going to be shouting at each other or as quiet Australians standing for The Christian heritage of Western society. Totalitarian Government aims to deculture the Western Social heritage and re-educate according to a new definition of Social Justice based on a new morality of enforced political correctness.
(see The Benedict Option – Rod Dreher)

The key to ‘Being part of the choice of Holy Spirit’ is not just matter of personal social preference but of a personal conviction for true freedom within the broad consensus of our Judaeo Christian heritage as a Western Nation under the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 4:1-7 I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the grace of Christ.)
I can see why we ended up with the RC church and I can see why we had to have reformations and I can see whey we have 33,000 denominations and somewhere there, there is us with one another other in the love of God sharing the heart of the Holy Spirit for our nation.
