What shall we do about the current U.S. state of affairs?  What is our complaint, then once defined how do we determine if correction is viable?  Are we railing against the strong North wind or is our passionate discourse substantially effective?  Will the American people rise up and use the only corrective measure available to limit outreaches of a government on autopilot, the power of the vote?  Or is standing up for this country merely an exercise in futility as we gather speed toward Divine intervention in human affairs?  What should we be found doing when the Lord comes?  You are a believer right?  And He did say that He would be coming back to rule and reign following some pretty perceptible signs, right?  Only one thing can be true, we either have the ability to turn this thing around by somehow gathering a loud enough public voice or we cannot effect change because this is God’s plan leading toward eventual intervention.

Be honest.  Do you think that the current views of abortion on demand, same sex marriage and single path to God are going to change to a view that matches Lord’s Word?  Perhaps the Pope’s recent capitulation on all three of these issues will provide you the basis for decision making.  America has fallen, taken down by its own lusts and selfish desires.  And those of us who could have stopped the progression towards powerlessness did nothing or joined them in compromise.  Remember, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for their wicked support of these same practices.  Begging the question, are we in America following the same path to a losing battle with Almighty God.  My answer is Yes.

We will not turn this thing around no matter how ardently we pronounce virtue, truth and righteousness, but still we must proclaim it.  This country has decided that it does not need God, or worse yet it thinks that it is on the side of God but truly has a naive understanding of what that actually means.  We are critically uninformed about Jesus.  Even most pastors have a scant idea about prophecy and what will soon come even though it is clearly cataloged for review in the Bible they profess to be absolute truth.  For instance do you know that the day He arrives He will do battle in three different locations releasing His wrath on the assembled wicked.  He is not going to return for peace but to pronounce judgment upon mankind and establish His “Rod of Iron” authority upon the Earth.  Does this frighten you?  It ought to.  The Bible states that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  That gnawing feeling in your stomach right now is wisdom, embrace it and you will avoid the judgment that this nation will quickly receive.

Currently, minorities, youth, woman and the poor have been convinced that our government will reward their voting allegiance with easy prosperity, limited taxation and very little restrictions on personal expression of heart felt desire.  Contrary to historical fact, which indicates that unrestricted or unbridled governments “always” exercise authority through the cruelest possible means, they have fallen pray to the lurking lion promising riches and sexual abandon.  To believe that this government, contrary to all notable facts will somehow take the rights, welfare and freedoms of the people into regard as it consumes all it touches.  Wake up folks, this beast has an endless appetite and when it is done with its enemies it will eat its own young.  This problem although correctable in its early stages is now beyond our control absent absolute rebellion a concept that the enemy enjoys.  You see satan doesn’t care how we fall, just that we fall.  He would be equally pleased to see us divided and fighting each other as he would if we simply chose the wrong path and ended up getting what we ask for and deserve, ruin.  The only salvation is found in surrender to God and obedient dedication to what is right and true in exchange for eternity, safety, security and love.  But, most will never choose this route as it requires abandon of self, something that for most is unbearable.  They will choose to go to an eternity separated from God in exchange for fulfillment of the lusts of this life.  That is why we cannot turn this thing in America.

Our only hope of change in America is if the Holy Spirit were to sponsor revival, but such an occurrence is not present in the Bible.  Additionally such revival would be sponsored by the prayers of the saints to God, something which is not presently happening.  Basically, we need to abandon the false hope of political heroes and the well dressed televangelists, because it just is not supported by God’s Plan in the Bible.  We have been told to prepare our hearts, minds and spirits for the coming of the Lord and to be ready as He will come without notice when we least expect Him.  The time I least expect Him to come is today while I am fat, dumb and happy, living in relative safety and comfort of beloved America the beautiful.  Would he find me ready?  He will if I have anything to do with it, but I must admit I am getting wise because I fear the Lord more than I fear anything that this world can do to me.  Father make it that the fire in our hearts forces us to prepare in obedience and love for You and Your Awesome Word.  Let us be found ready when You come so that we may avoid the wrath to come.  Bless Your Holy Name and if it be Your Will, redeem this nation from its current path, returning hearts to You.  Forgive us for going astray, grant us peace.  In Jesus Name I proclaim the coming Judgment as righteous, for we will receive what we deserve, just as the Lord’s Word explains.  Amen.
