I have done it anyway a few times because i really felt led to but in the area i live there are idle cops everywhere who apparently have nothing better to do than pull someone over? And i have already been pulled over a few times for having an expired tag(which is still do) but luckily i was either going to or coming back from work which is allowed. But i guess the main reason i am asking is because their is a MAJOR revival happening less than 30 minutes from where i live with people coming from all over the country and world, and i have been a couple times but missed the service times i really wanted to attend. But was just wondering if i am actually being led by God to do this or is doing this always against His will, because i truly believe He can keep anything bad from happening as long as it is a part of His will.

We are taught to respect legal authorities. We would probably agree that speeding or running red lights because you are late would also be wrong. I would advise you to try to work out some other kind of transportation, like asking for a brother at your church to give you a lift or some kind of public transit, if at all possible. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you break the restrictions, they might stop you from driving at all.... Loose your job and end up on the streets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mans law is not Gods law and it often opposes it, especially the laws of our corrupt governments of today. Things like traffic fines and such are more of a money making scheme than anything else. But i still would advise not driving if your justice system is as corrupt as ours. I kept driving while i was unlicensed, i needed to get to work. But that means nothing and i got sent to prison. That hurt and i wouldn't wish that upon anyone who hasn't committed a crime. Prison is for criminals not for people with traffic offences, misdemeanors and such. Even criminals get over sentenced in my opinion but thats another matter Our cops have number plate scanners that can read your rego plates from a kilometer away and a large part of the police force is dedicated to making money through traffic offences so its risky here these days. All im saying is don't end up in prison my friend cos it will mentally scar you for life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i never understood why they don't just impound someone's car until they can get a valid license, instead of just locking them up? Either way i now understand why i got pulled over by a cop who only had about 2 seconds to "scan" my plates, and i always had wondered about it, but i'm pretty sure they also put out BOLO's to keep an eye out for certain vehicles who have been stopped before for repeat offenses. But as far as attending Church, i will usually never do it if i feel at all uncomfortable or paranoid about it which is most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Omegaman 3.0 Posted February 21, 2022 Group: Graduated to Heaven Followers: 57 Topic Count: 1,546 Topics Per Day: 0.21 Content Count: 10,320 Content Per Day: 1.40 Reputation: 12,324 Days Won: 9 Joined: 04/15/2004 Status: Offline Birthday: 11/05/1951 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2022 Is something about Romans 13 unclear? 1Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it is possible to have your permit changed to include religious services. Personally, I have seen the type of revivals that you describe come and go. Most have not been so much of God moving but of the flesh and people looking for something exciting rather than to seek Gods face through the word and obedience. The latter is true revival. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely doubt that God Has anything to do with your own thoughts about breaking the law to get there even if He Has Layed it on your heart to attend this revival........He has given us a sober mind(think rationally ,wisely & do the right thing) Following Gods Will is not always the easiest thing to do & by that I mean you might have to put a little effort into getting there ,the car sitting there would seem a "temptation" to me because of the convenience ,one that can easily be avoided with taking captive such thoughts & subjecting them to Christs Authority 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
