The Bible says judgment will start with the church. So,,, well,, I think a lot of us have been sitting around hoping for another Reagan. I think Reagan was the product of a praying church. I think the Republican revolution was the product of a praying church. The problem is,, as soon as God answers the prayers I think the church then says “Great,, works done!” Well, Jesus said to pray without ceasing! The Republicans have grown fat and lazy and that has been the direct result of a church that has done the same thing! If you get into the real history of this nation,, God had a real plan for this land! I do not believe that God is ready to turn His back on us! I believe that the world will one day say with one voice “Look! We thought America had turned away from God, we thought they were finished,, but we were wrong! They have turned back to God! They have once again become a Christian nation and God is blessing them!” It depends not on the actions of the Republican party! It does not matter who wins what election! It depends on the church getting down on it’s knees, crying out day and night with a voice of weeping and repentance! Nothing is impossible for God! If Jesus can change Uganda! If revival can come to the Czeck Republic and Poland surely America can be saved!! Surely there is enough mercy and grace left for our nation!! I am not saying political action is not needed! It is mandated! But!!! If the church does not repent and fall on it’s face and confess it’s sins and cry out for revival and God’s mercy,, it ain’t going to matter! It is the church that needs to humble itself! God’s plans will succeed! God is going to have His way in the earth! The question is,, will the church willingly usher in the next revival or will God bring the church to it’s knees!? In other words, are we going to seek God now with all of our hearts with praying and fasting and repentance,, or will we continue in our laziness and wait until our nation truly crumbles, until all of our freedoms and liberties have vanished, until we face jail and risk being labeled with a mental illness for speaking the name of Jesus,, will we wait until we are imprisoned for home schooling our children and teaching them the Bible,, will we wait until then to seek God with all our hearts!! Will the church prove to be so hard hearted that God must remove every comfort from our lives,,, our sports, our games,, our movies, our alcohol and all of our riches before we finally fall on our faces and cry out for mercy??!! Or are we just too ashamed of the Gospel,, too embarrassed to risk taking the chance a neighbor may hear our cries?? A Christian will go to a football game,, paint his face 3 different colors, take off half his clothes and jump and shout like a maniac for his team on live television,, but will the same Christian risk being found weeping on the floor for His nation?? Why do we expect as Christians that our sacrifices to preserve this great nation should be any less than the sacrifices of those who have birthed it??!! God have mercy on us all!!!
The globalists are deadlier to America than Al Qaeda could ever hope to be.
I hope I live to see the day of their utter destruction.
INDEED, You are exceedingly correct about the globalists. And it’s still shocking that such a chunk of FREEPERS still minimize or dismiss their evil efforts.
Thx
And now a word from my Sponsor:
############
Those who live IN CHRIST will live eternally . . .
and see HIM put ALL THINGS under HIS FEET.
Not only will the wicked be utterly removed from our sphere of existence . . . ALL MEMORY OF THEM will be erased.
All evidence of their existence WILL BE ERASED.
It will be as though they never existed.
The proud will not only be brought low—they will be erased from the memory of man.
The 91st Psalm is a comfort along with some others . . . a thousand fall . . . but it not come nigh you . . .
But we have to know HIM and walk WITH HIM.
Well said, SoldierDad! Somewhere, somehow, people are going to have to turn and fight to take back your state. I can understand your feeling for Calif. I once lived there too. It was a very long time ago. My Dad was a Marine working at both Twenty-nine Palms and Camp Pendelton, (not at same time). Of course, the culture and lifestyle of the state much different then (45 years ago). And it makes me sad and sick to see what is happening there now.
Still, I can have hope for the state and it’s people, along with my fears. As long as they have dedicated citizens (also teachers) like you there, that are willing to fight within, I have hope. Carry on SoldierDad! (and thank you for serving our country!)
Thank you, and please thank your dad from me for his service.
