Pray for the Grace to endure the coming chastisements.
If you think you are exempt from the chastisements, they will be more difficult to endure.
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you."
1 Peter 4:12
“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:30-32
IMO we need some fire and brimstone from the Old Testament to put a stop to what’s happening to us. Turning the other cheek to Satan isn’t going to do it.
I’ve been studying through Jonah, Micah and Nahum these past 2 weeks.
MY! The parallels with our current USA situation are astounding.
We can fight, cry, get angry, etc... or we can turn our eyes, hearts and minds to the Lord - WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
THAT is all He asks of us.
Our eternal future will be bright. Our earthly future will be dark. Let your light shine.
