Preaching Christ Crucified...I Cor.1:18-25
From the Pastor's desk and heart...
For this is what the Lord says...
... "If My people,who are called by My name,will humble themselves and pray and seek My face,and turn from their wicked ways,then I will hear from heaven,and will forgive their sin,and heal their land."(II Chron.7:14)
The burden of the word of the Lord that is on my heart today is one of solemnity.It is very sobering to say the least,to see the direction that this great nation is headed down.Unfortunately,the only thing we seem to learn from history,is that,we don't learn anything from history.Every nation whose foundation has been the word of God in the past,that have turned their back on it,have by and large become nations which no longer have the influence for good in the world that they once had.
The nation of Israel in the Old Testement,as long as they walked according to God's direction and obeyed His word,they had unpresidented prosperity,influence and power for good in the world.America has experienced the same in her past.However,the influence of America for good in the world has been waining for many years now,and there seems to be no end to how deep into corruption and moral decay we will go.
I do not claim to be a prophet,I don't know if the Lord has put what I'm about to say in my mouth,or if it is from my own observations of current events,but,nevertheless,I feel an overwhelming burden on my heart for this nation and it's near future.
I believe that the future of the United states of America is at a very critical time in it's history.I do not like feeling the way that I feel in my heart right now but there seems to be no relief until I speak my piece.
1.) America,if we do not repent,is about to become a third world nation.Many will say that will never happen,but let me remind you that there have been nations in the past that have said the same exact thing,and where are they today? If America falls to the same example as other nations that have forsaken God and His word,then you can expect to see more unemployment than you've ever seen before in your life.Multiplied millions will be put out of work,with no hope for employment.The government will become bigger than ever before,with more and more people on government assistance.
2.) The cost of food will skyrocket to the point of food going to waste because no one will have the money to purchase it,due to the unemployment problem.You will see the obscenely rich continue to grow richer,while those who are destitute become more destitute.The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.More and more people will look to the government for help rather than to confess that they have forsaken faith in God and His word.There will come a time when a loaf of bread will become more valuable than gold or silver.
3.) If America doesn't repent,you will continue to see the rise of wickedness continue.No more will the wicked try to hide their wickedness.It is almost that way now.America will see,if we do not repent,open rebellion in the streets.What we have been experiencing lately with all the "Occupy" protestors will be nothing compared to what is coming.All the "Power of positive thinking" and"Postive confession" teaching will not turn this nation around.
4.) The one thing that will turn this nation around is going to be an old fashioned Holy Ghost move of God.As long as we have breath in our lungs,it is not too late.We can still take this nation back from those who seek to destroy it.America's problem is that the church has fallen asleep on watch.We have stopped speaking out against ungodliness and wickedness for fear of "offending" someone,all the while we are offending God.The church has lost her way with God and we need to turn back to God.We need to kick the prosperity pimps out of the pulpits of America,and pray that God will send true Holy Ghost filled men and women of God who love Him and righteousness.Dead preachers,preaching dead sermons,to dead congregations,must stop.Some preachers sermons would kill a dead man in a graveyard at midnight.
There are many more things that I see coming to America,if we don't repent.Some will be before the rapture of the church,most will be afterwards.We can still save America,but it's not going to be by any political party,or positive confession,or the power of positive thinking,but,by true heart felt Holy Ghost sorrow for abandoning God's word.If we will but repent and turn back to God,He will turn our nation around again.He will lift us up above the shadows and plant our feet on solid ground.If you are a true christian,then stand up for Christ and be counted.Don't worry that the unbelievers think your crazy,it doesn't matter what they think.It only matters what God thinks.Please,please,please,if you love this country,then pray for it like never before......Until tomorrow....May God bless each of you.....JW
