Surrogate: One that takes the place of another; a substitute. The President or Prime Minister gets power from the people. He or she is a surrogate. The people hand over power and authority to others who are then to act on their behalf. In a two party system in the U.S., roughly half of the people will not be happy with the results, in theory. Actually, if the system has been compromised by greed, most of the people will not be happy. Those with extreme wealth can subtly move a nation toward their beneficial interests. How is this done? By methodically funding critical aspects of the election process while influencing non-elected officials, consultants, and firms to carry out their agendas.
What the average citizen does not realize, is that laws and “orders” are being passed that establish additional “surrogate” power, thus removing all ownership, power, and authority of individuals within that country. There are many example around the globe of this very fact. Greece, Italy, Cyprus are all examples where a crisis has negatively impacted the individual liberties.
In this U.S., the following Executive Order was signed 18 months ago and effectively allows the government to take everything an individual or company owns:
Who wrote this? The president did not stay up late one night and create this order. Whoever wrote this document filled it with the intent to manipulate power and authority away from the owner of the resource (anything), all under the umbrella of “national defense”. Who decides when to claim the existence of an action justifying taking someone’s private property? This is a global issue, not just one confined to a single country.
When you give surrogate power to someone else, you want the receiver to be righteous and lawful. This is why in the end, only Our Heavenly Father satisfies those requirements. Every one of us submits to some type of authority. We all serve someone or something. Doesn’t it make sense to serve the One Who is defined by Love? When this occurs, men can take your possessions but they cannot take your essence. When you are no longer defined by your possessions, then if they are confiscated, you won’t be moved by the act. As you simplify and focus on Love, your source becomes Our Heavenly Father Who will guide and protect you from the suspect motivations of men and political systems. Executive Orders such as the one referenced above would indicate that someone thinks that something is coming down the pike that necessitates the existence of that order. Read it and see if it effectively says, “We can take anything, anytime, for any purpose.” Whoever actually constructed the document provided sufficient flexibility to the signer… and it is now “history”. I wonder who specifically wrote it? Our Heavenly Father knows and it is all part of HIS Divine Intent to bring for the Kingdom when people come to the end of themselves. At that time, we will see the fullness of Love.
