An Impending Judgment
For
America
There
will be a day when the United States of America will feel the judgment
of God as He calls for His truths to prevail. This judgment will not be a
mere ‘slap on the wrist’ and may be devastating to all of us. In order
to understand how this is all coming to pass, consider these few
illnesses that permeate our society this very day.
God’s
name is trampled underfoot in our theaters, in showrooms of
entertainment, as profanity is exalted and the garish lights are brought
to bear on people that deny the very existence of our Creator. Our
schools are denied the right to teach our children of God’s being our
Creator as they are denied the opportunity to praise God and ask for His
blessing.
America turned to God in past years as we fought the constraints of
England , the likes of Hitler, Mussolini and the evils of war in both
Europe and the South Pacific. In the years that followed more and more
restrictions were placed on the populace of America whereby God was
slowly but surely removed from our public lives. Where we were
victorious in parting from England and triumphing over the evils of WW I
and WW II, we basically fought to ‘a draw’ in Korea and lost in Viet
Nam . Slowly, ever so slowly God is being removed from our lives and
just as slowly our power in the world is being taken away from our
control.
America stopped prayer in schools, began to embrace porn and allow
perverse acts as Rights and at the same time began to allow and even
condone the killing of our unborn children. Abortion reared its ugly
head and instead of condemning it, we allow its existence.
In
the not too distant past we Christians were seen as church going people
that prayed and were respected. In the current times we are mocked
publicly, even by our noted television entertainers. Film makers have
set about making films that have a theme of ‘anti-God’ in nature. They
have not only begun to ridicule Christians but have decidedly begun to
attempt to deny the very existence of God in an unabashed fashion.
I could recite many instances of what I term, ‘God denial,’ but I think you know all of what I am saying is undeniably true.
Isaiah 63:6 I trampled the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground."
God
will bring to bear His judgment as He topples America as the
‘superpower’ of the world. Already we see crime as more rampant. Our
schools are no longer safe, our children are being used for the sexual
perversions of men and women and our elected officials virtually stand
silent as they seek only to remain as elected officials. Mass murderers
are all but deified and catered to as they languish in prisons enjoying
the free meals, entertainment and medical care that are provided at our
expense as men that once served our country do without!
The
economic power that we once enjoyed is fading, our monetary value
weakened, our military scorned as other nations rise in power. Countries
that once feared and respected America now protest violently about
anything we do.
What
is happening is that God is exposing our nakedness and revealing our
appearance as it truly is. America has become spiritually bankrupt and
God is there for us but the masses that control this nation refuse to
even acknowledge His existence!
Men
and women who have disguised themselves as Christians preach in pulpits
to those that would rather enjoy what they are being told rather than
what it takes to gain righteousness in God’s sight. Our government not
only allows this as proper but grants those self same people money and
tax advantages to spread their lies and discord!
We,
God’s true followers, those that read and learn God’s Words and live by
His Commands must remain strong and not be drawn in by the imposters
who, in time, will bow down to the Antichrist. We men and women that
know God’s truth must rely on and trust in Him and do His bidding.
God,
in His wisdom, has given us promises that will see us through all of
the calamities that face us if we remain strong and willing to stay in
His merciful presence.
Psalm 112: 7-8 He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear;
in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
Have no fear of bad
news, remain trusting in the Lord, never fear anything man brings about!
God promises that we will triumph over His foes.
Psalm 9: 8-10 He will judge the world in righteousness;
he will govern the peoples with justice.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Where there is no
justice from those that hate us for our belief in God, He will be our
refuge in troubled times. Remain strong with the confidence in Him that
He alone is worthy of. His promise is that He will not forsake us.
Psalm 27: 3-5 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
In
remaining strong and obeying God instead of man we are promised the
best thing imaginable as our reward. We will “dwell in the House of he
Lord all the days of my (our) lives,” and people, that is our promise
for ETERNITY!
(Closing prayer)
Almighty
God, King of our lives, we stand before You with hearts filled with
sadness at the actions of our nation. There are some that are in denial
of You and Your awesome powers. Lord, as our Lord and Savior said,
please forgive them and open their eyes to truth. Allow them to see Your
awesome powers and to witness Your love and Your willingness to
forgive. Lord, it is Your will to be done and Your love to be bestowed
as You see fit. Bless us O Lord and know that we are Your faithful army.
Lord,
Your promises are our reason to rejoice and Your love sees us through
our daily lives. We bow to You Lord and we thank You for all You have
provided and will provide in the days ahead. Lord, touch our very
spirits and keep us strong and within Your grace.
Almighty
God we ask that You continue to protect our military, our elected
officials, our judges, security personnel and our police that seek to
keep us from harm. Bless them O Lord and guide their ways. Lord, bless
our Christian brothers and sisters throughout the world and keep them
from harm. Please send Your angels to be with them in times of peril. Be
gentle on them Lord as they are weak like us and need Your strength to
rely upon.
We
pray these words in the name of Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior, who
is one with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever,
Amen, amen and amen.
