Does any of you think that because the United States has rejected G*D and elected Obama that he has withdrawn his hand of protection on this country and that is why the hits are coming thick and fast now?
I won't speak for the Lord that all the above are direct judgments from Him, but it's interesting that all of this correlates with Obama’s threats and meddling with the Lord's property. I do believe we will see more curses based on Genesis 12:3 and our nation's leadership's current actions towards Israel. And up to this point I personally believe the only reason the Lord hasn't dealt more harshly with America for her sins is because we have been a close friend and defender of Israel and her people. With the hostile actions taken by this administration, we are out on open water now, the Lord is not a respecter of persons or nations that He revoke His own words. His hand WILL go against those who intend His land and the Jewish people harm. He has plans for that Land and those People. We would all be wise to remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:6-9)
We should be humbling ourselves before the Lord and repenting of our own sins and unfaithfulness that the Lord may again have mercy and shine his face on our nation in His righteousness. I praise God to have been born in this nation! It has represented so much freedom and been an instrument to spread the Gospel throughout the world by the Lord's servants living in this God-given liberty.
I must confess that many times I've put America too much on a pedestal, almost to the point of idolatry. Along with putting my hopes too much in a politician rather than the Lord. Too many times a 'respecter of men' rather than a pleaser of Christ. Along with the sin of thinking America is too great to be under the Lord's hand of judgment. That is pride, and sinful in the eyes of the Lord. I pray He helps me keep a balanced perspective that I won't fall into unrealistic and unpleasing idolatry of this nation nor the hopelessness that His hand and heart can't reach it still and heal its spiritual demise. After all we are joint stewards of this nation, it being a democracy, and will be held accountable one day for what kind of stewards we are. We have no control over what other people do or what their hearts might chase after. But, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
2 Chronicles 15:2b:
The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
>>> Wish he would get back into the fight and soon.
He never left it.
He doesn’t fight the way we fight.
His ways are not our ways.
One of the true blessings of being able to trust in Him is being able to see His hand in things that others don’t.
But this is also a battle between Right and Wrong on our doorstep.
Let's fight for Right against Wrong here and pray constantly to do so consistently with His Will.
Satan seeks to sow dissension and weakness and discouragement among those who fight for God and Righteousness. He (Satan) speaks the language of weakness and failure and futility.
We do not need to sit back and let God do all the work. We are His work and he calls us to battle...to fight on his behalf (God expects us to demonstrate the ingenuity and energy and courage he has bestowed on us).
Rise up and take your place. This is the battle of our time.
Obama and his Satanists seek to destroy all the work that Godly men and women have built. It is up to us to rise up and fight.
If it were otherwise, God would not have called us to witness( he would have done it all by Himself)! He does not need us...He gives us an opportunity to participate. He blesses us with an entree into the Holy Battle!
If we fight on the side of Righteousness, we are already victorious.
After 2000 years, Luke 22:36 ("whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one") finally makes sense.
rose up - took my place - pastored for a number of years - informal ministry is my present work
God bless!!!
