Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ –
We need to seek Jesus with repentance (Acts 26:20), fasting (Matthew 9:15, Mark 2:20, Luke 5:35), weeping, and round the clock prayer, until God visits as he did in the Welsh Revival, after the Revolutionary War, and just before the Civil War, and throughout the 20th century.
The USA is in serious trouble with the LORD. This should be apparent from …
American Christianity has until the coming revival been in decline and is helpless against porn, divorce, sin, …
Despite the LORD telling us in Matthew 5:13 to be "salt", the Church in the USA is so bland and worldly that Nine states have approved of homosexual marriage, despite homosexuality being called “abomination” by God in Leviticus 18:22 and Jesus describing marriage as between man and woman in Matthew 19:5, and God destroying Sodom & Gomorrah for it. Also our federal government who we have not prayed for to be saved per 2 Timothy 1:2, is pushing for homosexual marriage, despite the obvious harm to the health of homosexual men.
54+ million abortions since 1973. As a nation, do we not serve Moloch?
Our $16 trillion national debt. This reflects on the bankruptcy of our collective consecration to Jesus Christ per Deuteronomy 15:6 and III John 1:2.
China building up it’s military, and has ever increasing nukes pointed at us, and builds civilian fallout shelters to survive a nuclear exchange with us, while Russia is fielding more ICBMs, while internal forces are massing against ours, and our home grown 5th column is alive and well.
Non-religious people catching on to the fact that the USA is being destroyed, right now from the inside, Russia/China/Latin America/Arabs are ganging up on us, to destroy us
Christians are having dreams and visions of coming destruction, including a specific recent dream of our military being targeted.
Some of us Christians were silly enough to think that Mitt Romney, a liberal and a deceived Mormon, would save the USA from the Democrats. Others of us have looked to leadership from famous conservative personalities, and have been disappointed so far.
We need to repent of making idols of, and trusting the following false gods to deliver us:
guns
politics / politicians
debates
going to church once a week
fasting hardly ever, when scripture says we must (Matthew 9:15, Mark 2:20, Luke 5:35)
enjoying hobbies or sports or movies or TV, which are fun, but have crowded out Jesus, to where He is distant, and we don't trust Him like we should
Luke warmness by hearing and not doing what the Bible says
We've tried to heal the nation with politics, whereas God's formula has always been:
2 Chronicles 7:14 - Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and restore their land.
We humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, turn from our wickedness
God heals the USA, supernaturally, completely, from the inside out
During such times when the LORD graced his Church with a visitation, evil of all kinds including crime, drinking, swearing, all dropped to practically zero, since God filled everyone with holiness, contentment, and joy.
We must do what they did, so a “holiness restoration” will sweep the USA now, as it did then.
We can absolutely trust God’s word. Therefore, each of us who want to get started on Jesus Christ's felt presence and conviction visiting us, so that God saves us from our enemies internal and external, I beg you to do the following:
Organize nightly prayer meetings anywhere, even if they must meet in different places each night.
Buy tracts for handing out in public.
Re-post and/or forward this call for a holy restoration of the Christian faith.
At the meetings, encourage all to:
seek the LORD Jesus in heartfelt prayer, humble repentance, with open Bibles and hearts, until they have assurance of their salvation
forgive everyone who has wronged them
sincerely apologize to those they have wronged, or cut out, or been bitter against
share with everyone Jesus' loving forgiveness for sinners who want to turn from sin to God
fast secretly periodically, and praise Jesus and pray in Jesus' name throughout their days
anything they suspect they are led to do by the Holy Spirit, that lines up with the Bible
organize nightly meetings of their own
But all of you be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:22
Let’s get off the sidelines, seek God for a holy restoration of Christians in the USA, by letting loving truthful Jesus flow through us with loving praise, prayer, and thanks all the time.
If you're initially the only one at your nightly prayer meeting, then that's a start. Pray for souls to be convicted or saved into your meeting or anyone else's, and "pray for laborers to be sent into the harvest" per Matthew 9:38 so laborers are sent, and are fruitful.
We could continue to sin in many ways, and further sin by only complaining about, and not praying for the repentance and salvation of:
those who commit vote fraud
low information voters
the Mainstream Media
Communists pretending to be “Liberals” or “Democrats”
abortionists and those who support them
homosexuals
public schools teachers, administrators, and makers of curriculum who deliberately indoctrinate kids into secularism, Islam, etc ...
Let's stop that, and instead love them, forgive them, pray that they repent and turn to the LORD Jesus wholeheartedly, and pray for ourselves to be fully repented and showing good works per Acts 26:20, and striving for perfection per 2 Samuel 22:33, 1 Kings 8:61, Job 1:8, Psalms 101:2, Matthew 5:48, Matthew 19:21, Luke 6:40, John 17:23, and Philippians 3.
Let's pray for them all to come to Jesus and repent, so we won't lose our nation, like we have been in the process of doing.
In previous restorations of holiness, everyone forgot that they were ...
Protestant
Lutheran
Presbyterian
Catholic
Jewish (they “came to Jesus”)
Episcopalian
etc (they also “came to Jesus”)
... and it was all about how wonderful Jesus was, and it was glorious salvation for all involved.
Biblical signs of coming destruction are:
Abominable sins, just like Israel wallowed in before they were destroyed twice.
God raising up enemies to destroy the USA, just as God did with Israel when they broke faith with Him.
Believers having dreams and visions of destruction.
We are 3/3 on the signs of coming destruction. It could not be any clearer.
Do we dare to trust and seek God to rescue us?

**Please** let me know if I can add you to the "Holy Restoration" ping list.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. - James 1:22
I do not know anyone who worships a gun. They are a tool to protect ourselves and our families.
We have a tendecy to put a great deal of faith in our guns, our preps, etc, while not putting enough faith in God. BUT, striving to increase our faith in God (a thing we all must try at every single day) does not mean that we should be disarmed. To the contrary, God commands us to be armed ("If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.") We can acknowledge that we must always try to increase our faith in God, while simultaneously using and giving thanks for the tools God has given us.
If the poster is, indeed, calling for disarmament, then s/he is grossly misinformed, and totally disconnected from reality. The old example of the person in distress crying out 'God, why didn't you help me,' and God facepalming as he points out all the tools He had provided, would apply.
Are you going to post the same thing every day?
That you have guns at the top of your list demonstrates your lack of moral backbone and strikes me as intellectually shallow.
China and Russia haven’t the capacity to invade and the army that invades Wisconsin each year would be enough men at arms to repel them.
It is a laudable personal choice to forgive someone who injured you. However it is your duty to stop that (often insane!) person from doing more harm to others. I am sure you are aware of the quote where a certain millstone is referenced. If there is a killer on the loose, just like it happened in Newtown, isn't it a prescribed duty of any capable adult to stop further harm? If a slave ship docks near your village, isn't it your duty to oppose enslavement of your children using all available avenues? If, after all other ways failed, you need guns to stop an attack, you'd better have them. (That choice could be made for you; pirates often come armed.) God may want you to be peaceful, but He does not want you to be extinct.
I am sure you are also aware of the parable of a religious man who, in a flood, drowned while waiting for God to save him because he refused help from mere humans who were sent by God? It perfectly applies here. The term "instrument of God" was not just invented yesterday. God probably would like1 such an instrument, a good person, to be at Sandy Hook, armed, and stop the killing in its tracks. This would have happened if the society was left to its natural way of development. But too many people today claim to know better than God what God wants, and they are tying the society in knots with their reasoning.
A good Christian, if he was wounded by Adam Lanza but found himself in position to shoot the killer, would do so; he would make sure that the body of Mr. Lanza is not a threat anymore. Only then he would be free to forgive the tortured soul of Mr. Lanza.
[1] This can be trivially derived from a very likely conjecture that God did not want those children to die.
“We have a tendecy to put a great deal of faith in our guns, our preps, etc, while not putting enough faith in God...”
Speak for yourself, not the rest of us - my relationship with God is individual.
When the Japanese were asked why they didn't invade the U.S. during WWII, they said it was because our people were armed. They said they'd find a weapon behind every blade of grass. Every citizen would have become a soldier.
Had our nation not had a sword, Hitler may have taken over the world. Does ROTB believe it was satan who gave us the wisdom to save ourselves - and the Jewish people? Or were we saved because we were armed, and aided by the hand of God?
That is a sick statement. Jesus did not use weapons. Christians don’t put their faith in guns. If they r called to be martyrs and suffer for their faith that is coidered a blessing direct from The Lord. The so called Christians in this country need to a cf actually read the Bible rather than being spoon fed from the pulpit.
While I would agree for the need for lukewarm Churchianity to repent and do II Chronicles 7:13-14, I do not think SPAMMING the board with the same vanity thread for two nights in a row under ‘news’ is demonstrating anything other than attention-seeking.

ROTB said “guns are a false God”
sounds like trying to disarm us
To keep the religious fervor inherent to this thread, Amen....lol.
Roger that.
Judge Not,
Lest Ye be Judged !
George Washington prayed often while
leading a “rebellion”
Jesus drove money Changers from the Temple with a whip.
get off my lawn.
Every person on earth needs, every single day, to increase his faith in God. God alone. And every person on earth, likewise, has some crutch they rely on, in which they need to decrease their faith.
It can be anything -- casual reading, natchos, swimming, something far worse such as porn. Nobody can ever have enough faith in God, and all people will, to some degree, have faith in some earthly thing.
Obviously there is nothing wrong with enjoying and making use of wholesome tools provided by God. Again, God commands us to be armed, and there is nothing wrong enjoying a wholesome pursuit like hunting and shooting, and appreciating the capacity for protection, defense, and freedom God provides for us via the keeping of arms.
But God is the end all and be all, a fact that nobody can ever fully embrace with their entire heart soul and being, although we must forever strive to.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
He didn't have to. Evil fled from him.
He did order his apostles to be armed, though. He instructed them to buy a sword.
Went shooting today.
Single action three gun cowboy. All were excellent shots and we had a great time.
Couple our proficiency with semiauto’s and we are a deadly force. My main arms are M1A’s and Kimber Tac II.
.308 and .45 delivered accurately over and over and over again is going attrit them real quick.
The Chinese and Russians wouldn’t want to be here. Besides, the ruskies can barely mange to keep a battalion supplied with vehicles that run reliably.
They’d be easy pickings coming off their vehicles as we flanked and flanked and flanked til they got dizzy and gave up.
Right.
Jesus couldn’t swim either.
