I Choose To Follow Jesus: Consent II

2024 is the Year of Decision, the Open Door and Eliakim.
Theme verse 2024: 1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, "How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people answered him not a word.
2024 is the Year of Decision. There are two groups of people in America: the ones who desire to see the truth, and the ones who are deceived and/or in conscience denial of the truth.
2024 is the Year of the Open Door. God is presenting many doors of opportunity to those who are willing to go through them. 1 Cor 16:8-9 But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 For a great and *effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
*Powerful: Strong’s # 1756 energes (en-er-gace); comparable to “energetic” meaning something is at work. Heb 4:12 the Word of God is living and “energes” powerful! Effective and powerful are synonymous.
These doors of opportunity come with great power from our Lord to accomplish His will in order to have victory over our adversaries.
1 Peter 5:8-10 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
2024 is the Year of Eliakim: “The Heart of the Father/Patriarch/Patriot/Pastor.” Eliakim was given the “key of David” to have authority over the “doors and gates.” To all of the men who will “step up and step through the door” God is releasing “great-effective-power.”
CONSENT
Another key word this year is “consent.” Both Lucifer and Jesus want our consent in order to establish their kingdom on earth. In order to get our consent, Lucifer will use deception, fear, greed and hatred. Jesus will use truth, peace and love.
Our consent is an individual choice, and our individual choices form a collective in our family, church, community, region, state and over America. Once a group of people consent, they form a movement be it good or bad.
God has given us “free will” or the right to choose for ourselves. Our consent is a surrendering of our will, giving power and authority to what we consented to. Giving consent is more powerful than giving permission. When we give permission, we maintain a level of authority.
Our consent can be given consciously, or unconsciously through our actions, words or silence. Our choices form our consent. We can disagree with our government, but if we choose to remain silent, by default, we have given our consent. God has given us a free will, the right to choose. Giving consent means giving our choice to someone else.
This is why signing The PLEDGE to Protect God’s Children is so powerful. If you remain silent, by default, you have given your consent to our government to normalize child abuse (wethecounty.org/pledge).
“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”-Edmund Burke
Consent: Strong’s #225, Hebrew uwth (ooth); to come, to assent. Synonyms; agreement, accord, consensus, harmony, and permission. Webster Dictionary: to give assent or approval. Compliance in or approval of what is done or proposed by another. Agreement as to action or opinion specifically; voluntary agreement by a people to organize a civil society and give authority to the government; therefore we decree, “I consent to the government of Jesus Christ.”
1 Tim 6:3-10 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Philem 12-14 I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.
In Christianity, consent is never derived from deceit, manipulation, being coerced, or forced. It has to be done not by “compulsion” but by truth, transparency, and encouragement. Enticement is to lure a person through illicit seduction.
Prov 1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
In Michigan, a child can declare “self-consent” for medical reasons at the age of 14. This means a school counselor in working with the Mental Health Department could start “transitioning” your 14-year-old child without your parental consent. The State is trying to usurp parental consent, thus separating the child from the parents. Transitioning from one sex to another is biologically impossible. It is a lie that violates the Word of God. It is based in Luciferian ideology.
Official Declaration Over the State of Michigan:
“Our Declaration of Independence states our unalienable Rights come from God allowing us to embrace Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
“Just” as defined by Strong’s Concordance #1342 Greek word dikaios (dik-ah-yoss); meaning upright, blameless, righteous, conforming to God’s laws and man’s. Aligns to the divine standard of right made possible through sanctification.
We do not give our “consent” for government to use “unjust powers” that are contrary to the Word of God and His righteousness. Our Founding Fathers wrote in our Declaration of Independence;
“We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude (righteousness) of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States;”
We Therefore: give our “consent” to public officials who have taken an oath to uphold the original intent of the Constitution, giving them only “just powers” to write righteous laws that honors the Supreme Judge of the world. We declare all laws that violate God’s laws of right and moral conduct are without consent of the Good People and therefore null and void of any authority over the Good People. All public officials who operate without the consent of the Good People are guilty of sedition and will be held accountable.”
Have you given your full consent for Jesus to be your Lord? Or are you faltering between two opinions?
