[In a vision] I see America as a prizefighter. I see her in a boxing ring fighting a boxing match.She has been egging the opponent on. In reality, the opponent is God. She is egging God on, saying, "I dare ya, I dare ya" She took her first major punches on 9-11, 2001. She was hit hard, but she did not go down. She continued to challenge her opponent. Her greatest sin is PRIDE. Her pride enabled her to "take" the punch, but it did not "do her in". She kept on asking for more. She still wanted to fight. She said, "I will not be defeated"
Then hurricane Katrina came. Katrina was another "hit" from the Lord. It was another punch to the vulnerable areas. This punch has crippled her, but it has not caused her to go down. She still has "fight" in her. She "still can take another hit" she says to herself. Still, she is proud and arrogant.
Sadly, there will be more "punches" from the Lord, stronger and harder hitting. The final "punch" will be the one that "lays her out"- She gets knocked out so hard, that she is finally "flat on her back", unable to get up. She is fully unable to rouse herself. She can do absolutely nothing at this point. All the pride has been "knocked" out of her. This is the place of utter brokeness, utter humility. This is where she will finally cry out to her God, her Lord. This is the place where she will humble herself before her God and surrender in humility, and call on His name. But not until she has been utterly humbled and humiliated.
Other nations will view her humiliation. Other nations will stare, aghast, that this mighty nation has been humiliated. They will watch and view her humiliation and be stunned that this mighty nation has been brought down right before their very eyes. But she will be brought to a place of surrender before the Lord. There she will call out to her God to save her.
The churches place should be to hold steady as America recieves her "punches'". No one should be gloating at seeing her take these punches. They should be praying for her and not giving in to the despair that they see all around them. The church needs to be strong in this hour and in these coming days, just like a good coach would be there to encourage their "prizefighter". The church can't give up on America, even though she seems humiliated. The church needs to stand along side of her and hold her hands, when she is going thru these pains.
*** As a special note, the Lord has been putting a series of numbers on my heart for the last 4 months or so. It a series of "4"s. I haven't been able to figure out why. I am going out on a limb, but maybe the Lord has been showing me that America will be getting a series of "4" hits? The first two have already happened, and maybe two more are to come? (The End)
You might want to put this in the religion forum.
Oh wait, I should read the article first :p
So Bin Laden was acting on God's behalf on 9/11?
'splain to me how that works.
You can't win by losing in this analogy. Is G-D a Paleo-con?
"Is G-D a Paleo-con?"
"Is GOD a Paleocon?"
Since He is older than ancient and not American...I'd say no.
My advice as a relatively mature Christian?
Those who get carried away with themselves as prophets make fools of themselves.
The author of the wonderful hymn "It Is Well With My Heart" upon being told that the ship he was sailing on was at the approximate point that the one carrying his wife and children had gone down finished his life in Jerusalem a madman telling people he was the returned Christ.
seems Martin Luther King had a vision that collected alot of attention
Yeah, a "vision" to role back "visions".
OH wait, my bad. I missed the King after the Martin Luther.
Oh, mass murdering terrorists like Bin Laden who slaughter innocent men, women and children REALLY are messengers from God?
I've noticed the Almighty has stopped talking in King James English.
If God decides to bring down the walls of protection, the devil who walks around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour is given the opportunity to devour. Job was one of three men who's righteousness could save him along with Daniel and Noah. God allowed Satan to attack him and his family killing his children, taking his wealth, and causing boils to break out over his whole body while his wife mocked him. God later restored all Satan had taken from Job and more.
That being said most people who call themselves prophets tend to rail on the "sinners". The Bible tells us that the reason judgment usually comes on a nation is due to the false prophets that rule the land. They lie to the people for money and condemn the righteous. In Ezekiel God says they daub the wall about the city with untempered mortar.
God told me this is nonsense.
As a special note, the Lord has been putting a series of numbers on my heart for the last 4 months or so. It a series of "4"s. I haven't been able to figure out why.
God told me these are Powerball numbers. He who has ears, let him hear.

This is not what the post says.
The post says that this is America in a fight with God and describes the attack on 9-11 as a "punch" from God.
NOT the DEVIL.
So once again, do you believe that God smashes airplanes loaded with innocent women and children into the side of the World Trade Center... and that mass murdering terrorists are agents of God as THEY claim to be?
Secondly, how would you like it if a bunch of sickos murdered your family and loved ones...
...and we show up and quote Bible verses to say it is punishment from God for your sins?
How awful.
