"We're on a mission from Gahd."

Since September 11, 2001, I have been hearing a lot of prayers for the protection of America.
It's now just a little bit more than one year later, and as a sniper terrorizes the Washington, D.C. area, shooting my people apparently at random, I have been hearing more and more prayers for the protection of America. Actually, I am hearing more prayers from the people of the Washington D.C. area than I have ever heard before.
It's not that I can't help you. I Am surely able.
But, I have somewhat of a bone to pick with you, for you see, I have been sending my angels to you for nearly 30 years asking you to protect the most defenseless among you, the most innocent of innocents, the most defenseless of the defenseless, my children who are yet developing in the womb, preparing themselves therein, for that auspicious day when they will be able to take that first breath, and go on from there to grasp the amazing and wonderful plan that I have designed for each one of them individually.
In every way I know, I have told you that these children must be guarded. That they must be protected. That each child conceived must be born, and given the opportunity to live. Yet, you have turned a deaf ear to me. You have turned a deaf ear to my messengers.
And now, after you have allowed 40 million of these precious children to perish, after having made a conscious choice not to raise a finger in their defense, and what is even more difficult to bear from my standpoint — seeing that the prospect of another 40 million dead does not faze you in the least — I am hearing a wail rise from the many frightened hearts who are now sincerely fearing for their own lives. God bless America you say. God bless America, indeed.
I am a reasonable Father. I have not shut off my attention from you. I am open to reason. So, if you don't mind, please explain to me, why I should go out of my way to protect you, to guard you from untimely death, even after you have stubbornly refused, year after year after year, to protect my children in the womb. Please explain to me why I should go out of my way to safe guard your life, and that of your nation, when you will turn around and use that additional life opportunity to stand idly by while the innocent in the womb are slaughtered by the thousands each day, and while the daily death toll of thousands rolls into a yearly death toll of millions. Let me have your best reasoning on this point, and I will consider it. As it was written in your sacred texts long ago, come, and let us reason together. I am all ears. I can't wait to hear what you have to say to me in this regard.
And if you have nothing to say, surely you can understand why I would have nothing further to add to what I have already said here.
All my Love,
[Editor's Note: Anticipating that many will want to know about the origin of the foregoing text, I offer the following explanation. It is not a "dictation". It is not a "channeling." It is more in the tradition of what a Presidential Press Secretary might produce for the President. For example, when President George W. Bush says to his press secretary Ari Fleischer, "I need a statement on such and such a subject, please draft one for me." The President will give some initial instructions regarding the main thrust of the statement, but he leaves it to his press secretary to use his own common sense and knowledge as to what ought to be added as appropriate context to the main message. That is what I have done here. Of course, there will be some who will wonder from whence came the main instruction related to this divine statement. I offer the following explanation in this regard. After my evening work period on October 15, 2002, I went to the kitchen to begin my salad preparation. I turned on the T.V. and tuned to one of the cable news channels. The commentators were talking about the sniper who had been terrorizing the Washington D.C. area over the last couple of weeks or so. As I listened to the news cast, and as I was beginning the salad preparation process, I was presented with a deeply penetrating insight which had God speaking to the nation thusly: "If you refuse to protect my children, please explain to me, why I should go out of my way to protect you?" The instant I saw this, I reached for my pocket notebook and wrote it down. Over the course of the salad making process, I contemplated what I had seen, and it became clear to me, that the next task was to format this into a letter to the editor for publication in the local newspaper. When I sat down at the word processor a couple of hours later, I set forth what I had seen in the context that you see above. Steven S. Showers, 10-16-02.]

p.s. In regards to this specific terrorist incident, we note that God our Father, for several weeks, stood by and did nothing to stop these murderers. But after a period wherein the entire population of the Washington D.C. area stood in terror for their very lives, I can tell you that the number of prayers reaching the ears of God for some kind of assistance, were 10,000 times more than he had every heard before. And what was his response? It ended as swiftly as it began. God our Father is merciful, and God our Father believes in the power of Gratitude. Having brought this situation to a quick end, there is great hope in heaven that the Gratitude of the people towards Him, will work to soften their hearts when it comes to honoring His request to safeguard the lives of His children aborning in the womb.

Our country was established as a Judeo-Christian nation and we honored God. He blessed us: With great prosperity; with protection in time of war and trouble.
Now, we have turned our face away from Him as a nation. Honoring God has become generally illegal. As a nation, we have repealed the sabbath. Murder is rampant; and it is ok with the nation as long as it is by the mother. Everybody lies--we call these lies white. Stealing is so common, you can't get the cops to write a report. Adultery is ignored. You want to hear the name of the Lord in vain? Turn on your TV set on any channel during prime time.
A man shall not lie with a man as with a woman for it is an abomination to God--certainly clear enough to me.
As a nation, we are embarked on a systematic effort to divorce children from their parents--father and mother are viewed, not with honor, but as institutionally irrelevant.
Our tax system is founded on the principle of coveteousness.
In the spring of 609 BC, Israel (Judea) got a wake up call when Nebuchadnezar showed up and took away about 2000 sons of prominent citizens as hostages.
America too got a wake up call on September 11, 2001.
But you can't just say "God Bless America" and expect God to make everything alright--if as a nation, we mean it, we have to do something about it. Honor God--bring him back into the home and into the public institutions. Stop taking His name in vain. Condemn adultery. Punish stealing. Reform the education system and restore the family. Restore the Sabbeth. Punish abortion and perjury, and reform the tax system. If we don't do that, "God Bless America" is just another hollow media tool.
If we don't do that, God will destroy America as He did Israel in 588 BC. Maybe He will just remove the blessing of His protection from our enemies and permit them to destroy us as He permitted Nebuchednezar to destroy Israel.

I think God has a few other problems with America besides mothers murdering unborn children.
America has many problems, and they all reduce down to one common denominator. And that is, the Children of God have become aliented from God to such an extreme, that they aren't even sure that the most precious creation that comes into this world, the child in the womb, is God's creation.
The abortion problem, actually represents the apex of alienation from God. Therefore, the first step towards reconciliation has got to be protecting the life of the unborn child in law. Though, I would concur with you that restoring prayer to the public schools would also be a very important step, that might even help the people come into a greater awareness of the value of the life in the womb.
"We're on a mission from Gahd."
god speaks thru his inspired word. What is your inpiration?
I thought I explained that in my "editor's note" above.
Though I could add the following as further background.
God illuminates the heart and mind of the devoted soul, over the pathway of daily devotion. Any Child of God, who establishes such a pathway, and keeps it open, again through daily devotion, setting aside at least a couple of hours every day for prayer, which might mean giving up some t.v. shows, experiences a return flow of insight and illumination from time to time.
But, but there is serious disagreement in this country about which day is the Sabbath . . .
This belongs on the religion forum.
This thread has to do with subjects that are in the news, and part of the political discourse in this nation, namely, terrorism, abortion, and the role of God in public affairs.
I believe this thread should stay exactly where it is.
In some circles it is considered presumtious to sign God's name to a piece of one's own writing.
I anticipated that objection, and sufficiently answered it in my "editor's note" above.
With all due respect, among believers, we ought to be able to agree on which day is the Sabbeth. As many times as the calendar has been changed, we have dropped days out; added days in; recharacterized and renamed the days; identification of a particular day as the shabbat is no longer possible. God's direction is that "six days shalt thou labor but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work." (Ex 20:9-10).
As a lawyer, if I just picked up the book and tried to decide which day to use as the Sabbath, no doubt it would be Saturday--and it would be a positive thing if all of Gods people, Christian and Jew alike, settled on Saturday. But I don't see setting aside Sunday as the most important problem either.
If your comment is directed to the institutional problems we would have setting aside a day when we would honor God as a nation, that is a problem and maybe is an argument that we should agree that as God's people, we ought to unite on a specific day, like maybe Saturday. I really don't find much authority in God's Word to use any other day (although I am a member of a Nazarene Church; and at the moment have been attending a Baptist Church every Sunday for the last two and a half years).
Point is that as part of a national understanding of an effort to return to God, agreeing on which day we set aside as the Sabbath is something we ought to be able to do.
Keep it here, catch the grief.
The catholic church and eastern church would never go along with a Saturday sabbath.
So it is the Jews and SDA people who go for Saturday and most of the rest of us for Sunday.
Perhaps my views are unorthodox, but to me Saturday is still the sabbath and Sunday is the Lord's Day. Of course, when I am in religious mode, I usually go to church on Sunday, but catholics can observe a Saturday sabbath now by attending mass on Saturday evening . . .
And so it goes. Jesus said he was Lord of the Sabbath.
