On Wednesday night, at 8pm the brothers at our gathering prayed that the Lord would lift up the man of His choosing and would confound the speech of His enemy. Some also prayed that Obama might come to know the Lord (realizing what He was able to do with Paul, who was breathing out hate against the church.) That, likewise, Romney might seek the Lord while He may be found. That these two men would humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, that in due time one might be exalted and not pridefully so, of course.

Mr. and Mrs. Christian American, it is time to pray. Pray earnestly for our nation. No, as a nation, we don’t deserve His grace (never have). Collectively, America has turned its back on God. All we can do is petition Him for mercy and kindness toward us—seek to move His heart once more so that He might spare us from the reckless path of sin that leads to the downfall of men and women and nations.

I might say, that God's heart was moved towards us in that, he sent his son to die for us yet while we were sinners....
God sent his son into the world not to condemn it, but, to save it through him...
God's pure motive was out of love, not wrath.

God's wrath will be upon those who reject Christ, who refuse to trust him, and save them through his blood atoning sacrifice.

Yes, we deserved hell's punishment.... but the bible says....

BUT GOD.....

If we could have saved ourselves, then we would not have of need of a savoir.

BUT GOD..... Out of Love....

Ephesians 2:

1. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

This is the age wherewith mankind may " SEEK THE LORD, SEEK GOD " ( the only one and true GOD, the GOD of Israel ) while he maybe found in GRACE.

Many say ? " SEEK GOD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND " .... but ? which God ?

Also ? some say that there are many " WAYS " to God, i.e. some think it's through works, through some prophet, through church attendance... so on and so on.

But GOD, the Christian God, the God of Israel made only ONE way to GOD and that's through the blood, through his son Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah.

America has turned away from Christ.
America has turned away from Christianity.

Now we have a smorgasbord of many ways to come to GOD in America, and a smorgasbord of " gods " ( with a little g ) here in America.

Those who reject the only way that GOD has made to come to him and be saved: Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah will be those who will face God's righteous wrath.

Those who trust, believe in, put their hope and faith in, in Jesus Christ, his atoning sacrifice have already had their sins washed away.
God has already thrown their sins into the sea of forgetfulness.

Jesus Christ IS the passover lamb.
Those who trust Christ ?
Judgement has already " PASSED OVER ".
Christ took our punishment and the wrath of GOD for us.
