Struggle

Must I struggle in my prayers for this nation?  Must I temper my prayers for the return of our Constitutional Republic fully knowing that the Bible describes the eventuality of a one world government, religion and commercial system?  Am I to struggle in the belief and reliance upon 2 Chronicles 7:14, knowing that if God heals our land it will probably be turned fallow at some point as indicated in revelation?  I do not know necessarily how God is going to resolve this apparent logical conflict.  What I do know is that the Lord’s Promises and Word are inerrant and entirely reliable.

How then am I determined to modify my prayer life steeped in the knowledge of this apparent incongruity? Are both things possible?  Are they mutually exclusive or can they both come about in the time remaining?  Well considering no one knows the day or the hour of God’s return, I would have to say we don’t know how much remaining time is in fact remaining.  But back to the question Gertrude.  I am praying for the healing of this country, that we might turn from our wicked ways, repentant and forgiven, humbled before God’s outstretched arms welcomed back into his embrace and turning his face back to our country to heal this land.  I am also preparing for the eventuality that this world and those who do not serve the Lord want a one world government, religion and commerce.  You know it, I know it and God most certainly knows it.  We have always been foolish and when the Jews wanted a King instead of God he gave them a King and they regretted it.

Look we have prayed to God that he might hear our voices and extend the opportunity to us as a nation.  A nation, that had begun committed to him yet over the years has turned its face and its heart away from God serving their own lustful desires of greed and sensory fulfillment.  This is truth, you know it and so does everyone else.  This opportunity requires that as God hears our prayer we must in our humility of his attention turn from our wicked ways to evoke the next promise which is to receive again his face toward our nation and the subsequent healing. Are we?  Are we turning from our wicked ways, humbled by the opportunity to save our land, fearing God and his wrath if we are found to be a nation of wicked people serving the enemy?  I will leave that to you to determine.  I bet you can guess my opinion.  Nineveh repented, though according to Jonah they were so wicked they did not deserve salvation or reprieve.  They fasted, prayed, threw ash on themselves and wore sack cloth to escape God’s Wrath.  Do you see anything resembling this type of humility and fear in our country?

What if we were given this time that all people might inspect themselves and make a decision for or against Christ?  What if this Constitutional Republic is won back as answer to prayer by Christians only to have the Christians raptured out to be with Christ? What happens to this nation without those of us praying to God’s for its healing? What happens to this nation without the restraining Spirit that is holding back the Spirit of Anti-Christ? What happens when suddenly all the Christians who love living free in a capitalist society, blessed by the hand of God are suddenly gone?

Well perhaps there is no struggle here.  I continue to pray for the healing of our land, humbling myself, repenting and asking God to spare us and bless us once again.  I continue to pray that the rest of the people in this nation find the same fearful, humility.  I continue to pray against the Spirit of Anti-Christ, restraining its ugly head from emerging.  I continue to pray that all those who have an ear to hear make a decision for Christ and are found ready when he comes. I continue to pray that the Lord give me the endurance to face what must be done before he comes to snatch me from this place.  But I also pray Maranatha Lord, Living for You is Christ but I miss you and will welcome that Glorious day when I am to be with you forever.  No Struggle, all is as it should be in God’s Will, God’s Timing and firmly held within his unbreakable grasp.  In Jesus’ Name.
