Doing good in the face of evil.
It was on a whim," Limbaugh, who claims to have "Talent on loan from God," said. "She sounded so tired, distraught, and frightened about her and her husband's business future with an Obama victory.
"I just wanted to brighten her day, keep her inspired and 'in the game,'" he told CNS News. "We will need people like Belinda Davis to keep the country moving."
Davis runs a small jewelry business with her husband in Kerrville, Texas and called Limbaugh on Oct. 28 to complain about Hollywood celebrities getting undue attention during the election season while everyday working people like herself and her husband are ignored.
Belinda Davis told Gretchen Carlson of Fox News in an interview that the story tugged at Limbaugh's heart strings and she was just in the line of his heart.
And as luck would have it, the transmission had just died in her car.
I had read this yesterday, and it gnawed at the back of my mind. While I was at peace despite the results, and while I helped others take the long, divine view of things, I was sensing a higher than normal neurotransmitter drain. This morning, I realized that the election was taken by the darker forces in this world as permission to move in and selectively impose a spirit of discouragement and defeat on God's people, in the same way that corrupt Democrats selectively apply the laws of the land against God's people. This is a different sort of demon oppression that requires a different sort of exorcism. I tried a few different tacks, and it looks as if I was correct since I am now "keeping station" more easily.
Then the Spirit brought this incident back to my mind. I realized that repelling the spiritual oppression is merely defense. We must go on the offense. Rush shows us one way to do it: Agressive goodness done in defiance of those who hold it is best done via nanny state/paternalistic/meddling neighbor government.
Doubtless there are some who would criticize Rush for giving a car to a jeweler when there were "more deserving" people who could have been benefitted by him using the money to buy several used compact cars.
To those critics I say this: GO TO HELL, EVIL SPAWN!
"What!" they will cry, "We're good people! We know how to do more good than Rush did, who just did it for publicity!"
THERE! THAT IS WHY YOU ARE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL!
Yes, I know what capital letters mean online, and yes, I AM shouting at the top of my lungs IN FURY that these pretentious bastards!
I do not hear of THEM giving cars or goods away from their own resources! No, they would rather control how others express their goodness. Lacking instincts of good within themselves, but craving the approval of being regarded as generous and good, they substitute THEIR micromanagement of the good others do.
Know this: Controlling the good that others do is impossible without controlling those doing good. Rather than doing good, these parasitic, pretentious hypocrites strive to control the good that others do. They won't buy cars for those they deem worthy, but want to control who gets Rush's gift of a car. Rather than pay for medical care of the indigent and poor, or better yet getting a medical degree and opening a clinic in a poor area themselves, they would rather raise taxes on workers to pay for their generosity, and control the doctors, the actual givers and doers of medical care, via controlling their compensation, their businesses, and their customers.
This attitude bleeds over to God. They criticize how God exercises his powers and capabilities for good, and even using the fact that He will not stop evil or bad things from happening as a proof against his existance. In actuality, they don't want a God who refuses to submit to their ideas of good and evil and how to handle them. They'd want big government (controlled by themselves of course) handling the disposition of good and evil, rather than a Babe in a Manger.
These bastards need to shown, repeatedly, that controlling those who do good is not inherently good as well. This will be done by doing acts of true goodness that defy their definitions of good. The pharisees believed that "good" meant following their man-made laws and traditions. The Sadducees believed that "good" meant keeping the peace by cooperating with those in power to get power. The Priests believed that "good" meant honoring them, the Temple, equating them with the Temple, and buying only from the Temple authorized marketers (who were on the Temple grounds as a sign of their authorization). It is enlightening how agressively Jesus did good that they disapproved of, even while they angrily admitted that He DID do good.
One way that the System of This World manipulates Christians is by defining what a good work is and how it is to be done. We need to break away from their bondage, reassert God's standard of good and bad, and do it.
