[[ Biden/Harris be Gods judgement? Why do we blindly believe God will just forget about what has been allowed to go on in America]]
Because we naturally feel that we are special. We feel God has chosen us and will always give us the desires of our hearts because He favors us because we are an “exceptioal nation”. We think He will always overlook our “small indescretions”, and we simply don’t take sin seriously anymore because “nothing greatly terrible has happened in our generation to this nation really”.
We aren’t special, and He wont overlook our sins as a nation. Not many like to hear that because we prefer to think that God has taken a shine to us because we are an exceptional nation. But that is t he truth. Were not special, and God doesn’t wink at our sins
So how does the author explain Hitler's takeover of Germany?
How does the author explain the fall of Christian North Korea to Communism?
How does the author explain Maduro's theft to power?
Is the US so special that it's exempt from the rise of evil.
I pray for God to resurrect Trump to power in 2021, but there is no basis to 'expect' it.
“We can’t explain to God why we allow baby killers and sodomites to lead our country. If we won’t repent on our own, He will bring us to our knees one way or another.”
AMEN!
I totally agree with you. Good summation. We know the story of Gideon gives us courage (at least to me) that a small amount (a remnant) of God’s elect, can bring about God’s will, which IS good, even when we’re not. We are called to repent and need to but there’s a scripture that says ‘does not God’s goodness lead to repentance?’ Chicken meet egg :)
Preach it!
There is a coup going on to take over this great nation. Trump just happens to be the president. Would I like to see Trump reelected? Yes. But ultimately, this article is about GOD, not Trump, and it’s about stopping a coup against this great nation (not necessarily the president). I do believe God is the foundation of this country and desires to remain so. We have lost our way but so have millions and millions (billions) over the centuries and a remnant stepped in, many a time, and turned things around.
Sheesh. Judgment over Trump for WHAT?
That's been my contention all along.
If Harris/Biden get in, it won't be a matter of wondering if God is going to judge the US.
They ARE God's judgment on the US.
sadly, there are alot of VERY weak Christians. Even as evidenced in the story of Gideon, 2/3’s of the potential warriors left because they were scared and weak!
With all of this “news” coming out about Barr not telling us about the fraud that the Bidens are, I think it gives the ELECTORS good cause not to name Biden as the winner of the election.
My God, all this exposure to the truth about the man, surely no one in their right mind would give him the PRESIDENCY.
AND THE ELECTORS WOULD HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO THE CORRECT THING.
Exactly! Imagine the doomed Christians throughout the ages that prayed they be saved from their evil doers, and were not.
I never understood people willingly going to the slaughter, such as the Holocaust Jews allowing themselves to be herded up, packed in cattle cars and marched into gas chambers.
By the same token I do not understand FReepers here willing to throw in the towel and just move on because they think it’s over. I’d just hate like hell to be in a war zone with any such people.
“Fear not, for these things must come to pass.....”
Perhaps G-D’s rescue isn’t stopping a coup or saving the Untied States?
Thank you, absolutely wonderful!
We need to repent of AS a church - are found in Revelation 2&3 - and part of that is the false teaching and heresy that lead us to this place to begin with.
The Return never addressed any of that.
Second - true national revival ALWAYS (in scripture) begins with leaders of the land - repenting. Leaders do not repent by taking the Lord's name in vain. And anyone can say the Lord's name (See Matthew 7:21). No. TRUE repentance for the land would be President DJT confessing Christ as the only savior - and that would first be manifested by telling his daughter and his son-in-law that they need Jesus and Jesus along as savior.
The Return should have had that ring to it.
Read Revelation 2&3 and see what Jesus tells the churches (5 churches) to repent of - and that is what "The Return" should have done: Repented of leaving its first love, for loving the world, for embracing heretics, for allowing "Jezebels" to teach-etc.
YET - Franklin Graham shared the stage WITH a Jezebel - Paula White - who teaches Jesus was not the ONLY begotten son of God - just the first. Heresy. And she is Trump's spiritual advisor. Graham should have never EVER shared a microphone with her
True revival comes when leaders REPENT and lead the nation into repentance.
When Trump does that - his fruit will show it. Right now - he is literally no different than he was in 1980. If he repents of supporting homosexual marriage and LGBT rights - let me know - and then maybe we will move in the right direction. Until then - this has to be left for the church to preach the Gospel.
And THAT is scripture.
What is the Return? sorry, I’m not following on that. And when you say “these people”, who are you referring to?
you absolutely can and should repent as a Christian if you weren’t gay or had an abortion, if you ever voted for someone who was or did or didn’t witness the truth to people that did, etc.
Trump DOES confess Christ as our Savior; I’m grateful for that. You’re saying he’s only saved and telling us the truth if he tells his daughter and son in law? First, how do you know he hasn’t, 2nd, you put an awfully tall order on anyone living a believer’s life that there’s all kinds of work they need to do before they’re saved.

Second - I said "repent" in relation to the return - because that is what "The Return 2020" was all about - repenting of national sin - the article mentions it. But to fill you in - the event was the march on DC where Christians repented for the sins of the nation. However - that is not how it works today in the church age. The church - as Jesus points out in Rev 2&3 - has to repent for ITS sins. The Return never touched on that - for obvious reasons - because many of these false teachers were there.
Third - I've seen pictures where he is in a prayer circle (and these are recent) with them - led by the false teacher Paula White. I am simply saying true salvation is the understanding that salvation is through Christ alone. There are MANY who confess Christ as "A" savior. Ask an Episcopalian. In fact - look at the Catholic Catechism #841: "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."
That is not salvation. Acknowledging OTHER paths is not faith in salvation alone.
Now - I do NOT know if he has faith in Christ alone and has denounced all other paths - which - BTW - is orthodox Christianity - and is the faith upon which the martyrs died. However - I do know that if the Holy Spirit is inside of a person - it should bear witness of the sin of homosexuality and not affirm it as Melania recently said he did.
But they love him. They think he is going to bring in the age of Aquarius.
I spent 32 years in the military watching the enemy and seeing their plans. It makes me nervous when they like my guy (and again - we - the entire family - voted for Trump - we voted for the (R) platform). I'm just not a big fan.
When we tweeted out Wayne Allen Roots tweet and thanked him for it - because the Jews think of him as the "second coming of God" - and he thought that was great - it made me very upset. A spirit filled man would have shuddered at that.
Imagine what you would do if I had said such a think about you - the Spirit inside you would slam breaks so fast it would break the wheel.
aren’t you adding alot of assumptions to what they said or what they meant?? I don’t even know what the ‘return of 2020’ is. As for America returning to God; we should. We were once there and it is my prayer we DO repent and turn back to the Father.
As a nation, even believers, we are called to continually repent, to turn from our wicked ways. Look at what Abraham asked the Lord about Sodom and Gomorrah; would He spare the cities if just 5 were righteous. In other words, other people could spare life for those that sin.
I’ll just say this, neither YOU or I really know someone’s heart and if we approach every person that confesses Jesus Christ with cynicism and doubt in our hearts that they are genuine, we will never be content. Remember the scriptures (sorry can’t say where although you might know) where men come to Paul and say others are using the name of Jesus Christ. They thought Paul would be ticked and want them to stop. On the contrary, Paul said let them say it! The more that mention the name of Jesus the better.
