Loving the Oppressed and the Oppressor
A Higher View from Above the Chaos

By Ron McGatlin

Much of the world is searching for solutions to the multifaceted disorder and destructive conflicts among governments and people groups across the world. Fear and hatred appear to be rapidly intensifying among the nations.

To some thinking people there appears to be a secret force or covert group at the head of the worldwide disorder pulling the strings of the world’s economies, political structures, religious leaders, and manipulating media systems to control the masses of world population.

Power is always a key word in describing the goals and functions of the many forces that vie for dominance in the world. In past centuries that power was primarily thought to rest in military strength. The strongest armed forces took rule over the weaker. The stronger possessed the land and ruled over the people of the land. The ruling government then pressed its philosophical and religious beliefs upon the captive people.

In the past several centuries a somewhat new experiment in government was tried that involved giving the power to the people of the land to govern themselves by an agreed upon written document of laws and values. Similar to all the other forms of government, this form of government had its own version of philosophical and religious beliefs that were foundational in the formation and function of the governmental systems.

In America that government was called democracy, and the philosophy upon which it rests was biblical Judeo-Christian principles. At the time of formation, there existed various forms of Christian and Jewish religious expressions with many common agreements about Deity yet with differences in practice and points of doctrine. Religious freedom was firmly planted in the law of the land to allow for those differences of belief and practice within the Judeo-Christian religious concepts to function peacefully side by side without fear of governmental intervention or interruption.

This form of government proved over the past several centuries to provide a highly effective atmosphere for developing a very powerful nation with probably the highest standard of living for the masses of any major nation in history. The high level of moral and family values induced from the biblical Judeo-Christian foundation and the freedom to individually own property and prosper according to the ability of the person were keys to the massive production of provisions, goods, and services within the nation and exported to the world.

Though this governing experience has proved to be perhaps the greatest in history, it was not perfect and indeed had seriously vulnerable areas or flaws.

A Fatal Flaw

Like all other forms of human governing experiences, the unrecognized flaws that brought the fall of the governments of every historic nation is now threatening to bring the failure of the American Democracy experiment.

The flaw involves the erroneous belief that military might rules in the world and can sustain a nation. It also involves the false belief that abundance of goods and services produce sustainable quality of life. Another aspect of this error is the false belief that superior human intelligence will bring sustained quality life.

Though all of these things may be factors in lasting quality of life and government, they are NOT that which produces lasting government and life. The quality and endurance of a nation and its government does not rest in nor emit from those things.

The Heart of the Matter

The endurance of quality life and government in a nation abides in and emits from the hearts of the people.

The heart and soul of the masses of people will eventually determine the fate of the nation.

The level and the quality of inspiration in the hearts and minds of the people will determine the level and quality of motivation in the individual and collectively in the nation.

Where intense quality inspiration and motivation exists in the hearts of the people, the needed skills to produce abundantly will be acquired.

Intense quality inspiration comes from a deeper level than our conscious minds. It comes from the heart. The heart as it is used here includes the spirit and the soul of a person. The soul involves the mind as well as the emotions and the will of the person.

Desire develops through inspiration and is felt in the emotions, determined by the will, and put into action in the life by motivation.

That which is of the spirit is the deepest level of inspiration. It will bring change to the life of a person, and collectively it will eventually affect the destiny of a nation.

A mass of inspired, motivated, and skilled people can accomplish great things that would be impossible for them to do otherwise. Uninspired, unmotivated, and unskilled people can produce very little, if anything at all of significance.

Ultimate Inspiration

Greater inspiration leads to greater motivation and eventually greater actions that produce greater life.

The ultimate source of inspiration in the hearts of mankind is pure love influencing the spirit level of life in the heart of human beings. Love is the strongest motivational force in the world.

God, Who is Spirit, influencing the spirit of a person is the only source of pure holy love that brings ultimate inspiration which leads to ultimate motivation and eventually to the best possible productivity and quality of life. A biblical word for this influence is “grace.” The grace of God is defined as, “the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life (Strong’s 5485).

Every nation and every government is greatly affected by the Deity that is honored and followed by its people and especially those who govern. The resulting quality of life and productivity or lack of it in every nation is greatly affected by the belief systems within the hearts of the people.

America and other western nations were made great through the inspiration of God motivating the majority of the people to strong moral and family values leading to quality life and production. In recent decades, America and the western nations have experienced much of their population turning from the true God to the gods of self and self-pleasure seeking. Many have become their own gods and turned from the way of the true God that had made their nations strong.

This opens the way for many false beliefs and concepts that bring degradation, loss of quality of life, and eventually national weakness. Making them easy prey for aggressive covetous forces to subversively infiltrate and overtake the wealth of the once prosperous western nations.

What can reverse this fall and save America and the western nations from the impending demise?

God’s Government on Planet Earth  

God has a plan of redemption and strengthening of the nations that accept Him as the true God and turn to Him and His way.

God loves the oppressed and the oppressors and desires to bring all into alignment with His inspiration of love that motivates and empowers His people with supernatural spiritual strength and wisdom to turn the nations to God and His quality of life with peace on earth.

This is not religious rhetoric from the past. It is speaking of the deeper root and seed in the spiritual realm from which all creation came into being and continues to exist. The government of God is His kingdom ruling in the hearts of mankind inspiring and motivating mankind to bring forth His quality of life on earth.
