Evil creeps

After decades of most good men doing nothing we are faced with excess evil.  It is not as if we turned our heads and were taken by surprise, but it is in the nature of evil to deceive and ebb slowly, creeping, saturating, polluting all innocence and righteousness.  Words like slithering, creeping and eerie describe the stylistic, political or strategic approach of evil.  What we now face in this nation only has one cure, repentance with a collective cry of all believers to God Almighty to intervene for America.  2 Chronicles 7:14 sets forth God’s requirement for healing a covenant nation, which begins, “If my people who are called by My Name“.  I need go no further for God has immediately stipulated, twice, in this one statement that it is incumbent upon “Christians” to cry out in humility for God’s intervention.  The enemy is delighting in widespread wickedness because we as Christians will not join together in humility and repentance, turning our faces to God so that He might hear and heal this land.  This has always been the method by which the Lord shook awake His people, by allowing evil to gain a foothold and eventually overrun the faithful.

Evil has creeped into America’s Societal norms.  I am sure there are many who would like to discuss exactly when that process began, but none would argue that something which started out with righteous and holy intent is now near-hopelessly corrupt.  For those who were never taught the sponsoring faith of our Founders, as the schools have been relegated to the stewardship of atheistic or evolutionary unbelievers, please check out the wide list of direct quotes regarding their position on Sovereign Authority in the United States.  http://www.usachristianministries.com/us-history-quotes-about-god-and-the-bible/

Instantly recognizable names; George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Patrick Henry, John Jay, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, etc…. and their clear belief in God’s Grace and Providence being the foundation and causality for America’s continued health and prosperity, provides consistent eye-opening evidence to the lies being proffered in our schools and public institutions.  Yet, we have allowed this to occur.  We have idly stood by and allowed the contamination, adulteration and intoxication of America.  Shall we now remain idle in dire times or join together in collective prayer to Almighty God for intervention?

It is sad to see our current leaders, arrogantly assured that they know best, then just as quickly blame others when their genius plans fail or stand up the next straw man to provide a idea which is more genius than the last.  They have forgotten their way for they are not beginning the entire process with humility and dependence upon God.  Gone is the firm reliance upon Divine Providence which directed this country’s straight and unyielding path.  I pray for our leaders as they have been appointed by God, but I also see that we have received unbelieving, duplicitous men, men of weak character, leaders for a nation who has turned its back on the God who blessed them.  Will we wake up in time to turn things around?  I personally see no evidence of this “national revival” in the Bible, but all things are possible to them who believe.  The question is do we want it enough?  Have we suffered sufficient national pain, suffering or sin misery to collectively repent?  It remains to be seen, but I know this, if we who call ourselves by His Name do not begin to cry out for the need of such national repentance it shall never occur, for God has provided the guidelines for such Divine National healing, and it begins with us.
