I was saying to the Lord many Australian people (in their many nationalities) all have an opinion. They all have an opinion and very strong opinions, I might add, and they all have a right to their opinions but people will not put their words and life where their mouth is?
I felt the Lord say back to me their words and opinions are cheap, and unless they line up with Mine and My word they are just their opinions. We tend to say all these words and they fall into the pit of nothingness not accomplishing anything or really helping anyone – worse still bringing negativity. Not bringing life, but death. Words words words!!! Opinions opinions opinions!!! Blah blah blah!!! Then I heard the Lord say, “You will be held accountable for your words and opinions, how you shared them, how you valued them and if they lined up with Mine and if you did something to make a change.” The Lord had my undivided attention. He then reminded me of a throw-away line of a politician who stated, “If you say something long/often enough - people will eventually believe it.” Interestingly as I did some research as to who might have made this statement I discovered that it came from a speech by none other than Adolf Hitler. Interesting that mostly we do not take the time to think what and where these quotes come from and the heart behind them. How sad that we have these people in Government - there is good and bad in everything and we have to look at the person not the political party and look at what they believe and if they are standing for God’s stand on these issues and if their opinions are valid or not. This is a piece taken out of Wikipedia which I found interesting?
”Big Lie”
from Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia

For the 1951 anti-communist propaganda film, see The Big Lie.
The Big Lie (German: Große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” Hitler asserted the technique was used by Jews to unfairly blame Germany’s loss in World War I on German Army officer Erich Ludendorff.
Hitler’s use of the expression
The source of Big Lie technique is this passage, taken from Chapter 10 of James Murphy’s translation of Mein Kampf: But it remained for the Jews, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Marxists, to impute responsibility for the downfall precisely to the man who alone had shown a superhuman will and energy in his effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and to save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame. By placing responsibility for the loss of the world war on the shoulders of Ludendorff they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Fatherland to Justice.
All this was inspired by the principle–which is quite true within itself–that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.
—Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, volume I
"We must never forget what the Jews went through and how they paid with their lives when the world ’sat on its hands’ watching and let it happen.”
This I believe is a prophetic sign and reflection of the state of what we are under in Australia that we are so bombarded with untruths and judgements, which are in the form of lies and opinions.
The word opinion means: 1. A view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. 2. The beliefs or views of a large number or majority of people about a particular thing. 3. A belief or judgement that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
Most of these opinions are not based on God’s statutes and commandments and His thoughts and heart. We are a bit like a frog in the water that eventually gets boiled to death and we do not feel it till it is too late. There are a lot of things that are going on at the moment that God is not pleased with such as the refugee issues /boat people, abortion, euthanasia, violence against women, same sex marriage issues who are trying to be married which is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman before God. Why I ask when most of these men and women do not follow God want to have a sacred God covenant in their life? Maybe deep down they do want to follow God? Or do they? Or do they just want to have something that is just not theirs to have? Marriage.
True Christians must make a stand for these issues and make a change and speak up on the truth and opinions of God’s law and what He says. If it does not line up with God’s word or commands then we should do all we can as Christ like people to stop it. If we do not stand up and say something everyone else will and Australia is in danger of falling more into the hands of un-Godly opinions. We have already allowed these things to affect us in Australia. We do not have to follow any other countries but make strong moral standards of our own to be heard loud and clear. If good men and women do nothing evil will prosper a quote by Dr Martin Luther King.
If we go blindly and do not search out the truth of an individual’s heart and find out what he/she believes we will choose incorrectly. As we have found out recently that one of the main candidates have said that if he gets elected within the first 100 days same sex marriage will be passed. Now if any Christian worth his/her salt voted for this politician then you are not really a Christ-like person because if you read God’s word you would know He made marriage as a sacred covenant for a man and woman only. We must say no way to any change for our sacred marriage covenant that God put in place to make the family unit safe and protected since before all time. Even if you are not following God but believe in Him and you want right morals to be in place in Australia surely you would not vote for this politician. Some people say oh but they love one another why not let them it is not hurting any one. Oh - make no mistake it will damage the foundation of the family unit and there will be consequences for it. God Almighty Himself put in place marriage to protect the family unit and we must not allow this to be compromised in any way if we truly stand for what is right. The last time I looked Australia was and is built on Judah/Christian beliefs and people’s opinions, tradition, cultures and whatever feels good are trying to change the foundations of what Australia is and always has been. We must stand for Truth, Righteousness and Justice.
How long do we continue to ‘turn a blind eye’ – leaving it for others to do or say what is right. We must do it! Australians are known to hate injustice and when truth is revealed they rally to the cause in an effort to put right the wrong - no matter what the cost or personal risk to themselves. Our fathers and grandfathers fought for this and we will not let other opinions and traditions shift the goal posts. We can not say ‘she will be right mate’ or leave it to someone else. We must say something and make a stand for a moral standard in Australia. It is up to us.
The Kingdom of God is much more powerful than any governmental power on the earth. When the Kingdom of God starts to manifest on the earth that’s when we will see change and revival in our heart’s first. We need to change and make the change. We as Christian people need revival in our hearts so that we will make a stand against all unrighteousness and then others will follow and to know our Kingdom authority will bring change. God is passing the baton to those who revere and value greatly His order and authority. When the church is in FIVE FOLD order, to a greater level of one mind, one heart, one accord and have His love for each other……. then the change will come. To a greater capacity. We will change communities, government, cities and nations - the church needs to lead the way.
First the church in Godly order then the world. 1Peter 4:17 God is looking for men and women to speak and change the status quo (existing state of affairs or that which existed previously).
God said that He is the same yesterday, today and forever and if one person stands for His Truth and Righteousness, He will have mercy on us and save us from calamities of the future.
We need to take a look at our words and the statements/opinions we are making/saying and why we are making/saying them. Then ask God to sort them and the ones that line up with His - do something about it. What are we going to do about it? Revelation 3:13-22 We as God’s people need to do what it takes. Send that letter to parliament and to our federal and state members and our local candidates to let them know that no that is not alright to have bills passed that are not in line with God’s plan.
Visit and make an appointment with them. Ask them what you can do? Become involved. Pray that righteous true believers of God will lead and have influence in government and they would speak into the lives of other leaders Godly wisdom and understanding and that they would have influence. Vote for God’s leaders in that sphere of influence - ones that will not compromise and will stand for God’s Truth and statutes. People that hate make bad choices.
Be the spokesperson for your church and community.
“Remember, if good men and women do nothing, evil will prosper.”
Make your words count and then BE the solution.
