The Gospel warned of that time when
Christians would be "brought before governors" for their public
testimony of Faith, and we see this unfolding in our time. (Matthew 10:18)
Churches in California are now facing
thousands of dollars in fines for worshiping in person against
Governor Newsom’s COVID-19 lockdown policies, while pizza parlors, liquor
stores, and other non-essential forms of business remain in full operation with
few restrictions being imposed. Even homosexual bath houses in California are
reopening to "aid in economic and cultural recovery."
On April 13, 2020, President Trump
wrote on Twitter:
“For the purpose of creating conflict and confusion, some in
the Fake News Media are saying that it is the Governors decision to open up the
states, not that of the President of the United States & the Federal
Government. Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect. It is the
decision of the President, and for many good reasons. With that being said, the
Administration and I are working closely with the Governors, and this will
continue. A decision by me, in conjunction with the Governors and input from
others, will be made shortly!”
If it is not the decision of
governors to open up the states, how much more would this apply to the opening
of churches? The opening or closing of churches is outside the state's
jurisdiction in virtue of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause
[Separation of Church and State] that prevents the state from infringing on the
church. While state officials may advise the church, the final decision is with
the church.
What we are looking at is unveiled
discrimination against religion. Newsom and deep-state Democrats want to
prosecute the churches, not those who burn down the churches. They want to
muzzle peaceful assembly, not those who publicly rage against America. State
officials have decided who may and who may not conduct business.
COVID-19 is simply a tool that
globalists are using to shackle America, which is what the "stay
home" orders are really about. Keeping people at home is an attempt to
"distance" them from patriot gatherings where discussions could give
birth to effective plans to stop deep-state “plandemic” designs to lock down
society.
Keeping people at home also places
them in front of the TV where they are far more subject to media brainwashing
about the "new normal" we're supposed to get used to. The enemy knows
that when people are out of work and at home they have recourse to the TV as an
outlet.
What the enemy does not want is for
Americans to be united in prayer and armed with the Gospel, so action is needed
from the president that would make pastors immune to state orders to close
churches and restrict worship. There is no denying the direct correlation
between the closing of churches and the outbreak of violence in America, so
it's high time that America drop this fuss over the “pandemic” and get back to
church, lest we evolve into a police state.
