..and it dawned on me. It happens in the Bible in particular with Israel that he will raise them up as a strong nation when they love him and honor him. Then a few generations later they forget who he is and chase after other gods. Does this sound familiar? When this happens it seems one of two things happens.
They repent and return to God to be healed and that their land is healed..
..or their nation is taken. All you who’d believe in God repent and let’s follow Jesus together. One of God’s promises is that he’ll heal our land if we return to him, but don’t do it for the land. Do it because we were made for God and he loves us.
2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I had an idea while listening to an online sermon this morning. The worship music was so good- and it was powerful voices singing of God’s victory of God’s work on our behalf. Blacks and whites belting it out. Glorious!
Isn’t there a way where we can blast powerful, Christian worship music into these protests and marches? Let their evil be drowned out by music confirming and claiming God’s power and love?!
Sound people, technical people, anyone....?
Oh, now HERE's a response I like the sound of... If they start showing up in my area I'll definitely see what I can do.
Well said! My pastor actually preached on this subject today too, and got a bit heated over the turmoil in this country. He used 2 Kings 17:7-16 as an example of provoking God to anger so that He sends his judgement down.
I have committed to pray for mercy, and that He will give us what we need, not what we deserve. Let's make America a praying, God-fearing nation again!
Yepper..Jesus is the ONLY WAY..we must Pray and in the name of Christ. Perhaps the Lord will spare us to keep our Nation, but in any case, it's going to be a War until the End, but let's Pray we are retained as His instrument in the World, however dark it becomes, that the Glory of the Salvation of Jesus of Nazareth may Shine until the Coming of the Lord...
We allowed the golden calf to be erected in our nation. “worship of celebrities, sports stars, musicians” and we also have a baphomet statue. God is watching. Show him who’s side you are on. Will we allow this to go on out of “tolerance” or will we draw the line and say this goes no further!
Amen! Very good. I've been studying, too. Look at the beginning and end of each Chapter in Judges. My goodness, we repeat the same idolatrous bullshit over and over, yet He shows us grace every time! He also shows up when we need Him most. Their feet were getting wet when the sea was parted. We need a miracle right now. It's good we have a miracle working God! Keep up the good work.
