AND THE ANSWER IS…

How did you react to the US Supreme Court’s ruling, imposing immorality on American society? They did it in the Roe Vs Wade decision and now they have done it again. All God’s people should have seen this as that. Shouldn't the eagle in the seal be replaced with a buzzard? The question is what can we do about it?

This morning's had an article about a county clerk in KY who refused to issue any marriage licenses at all. She is being sued and the ACLU is involved. We should applaud her actions and pray for her to have the finances to fight this suit. The problem is that she is violating her terms of employment as a public servant and could face jail time for that. Perhaps her superiors could reassign her to another position, with no loss of pay but that probably won’t happen. 

Pastors must speak out against immorality and I encourage every church leader train their people as to what is right and wrong. I am so thankful for the pastors who help me through that transition. Have you heard the angry preachers on talk radio shows, screaming against the Sodomites. We share his fear of the judgment that fell on Sodom for this immorality. Unfortunately his tactics are no longer effective in the American culture of these times.

One thing we must do as Christians is to exercise our right to vote and to be politically active. We cannot stand idly by and watch Queen Hillary ascend to power in this land. The church stuck it’s head in the political sand, we did not take a stand after we saw the acceptance of Darwin’s false theories challenging what is true and right. It’s been a downhill slide that has continuously accelerated over the last 100 years. Now we see our great nation spinning in the toilet, along with much of the world that the United States has not stood by. But political activism alone will not turn this tide.

We lament and feel terrible. We read and say things on social media in hopes of influencing some people of the urgency of the hour. This too is important but alone this will change but a few people’s minds at best.

AND THE ANSWER IS…

God has been speaking His method to bring change for a long time now. Some have heard the call and are being faithful to follow His solution. The following Scriptures are simply profound and specific. If we take the completeness of the message step by step we will be motivated, and empowered by the Lord, to take whatever specific actions the Lord leads. The only hope for America is another Great Awakening. May the light bulbs turn on in the hearts and minds of millions, may the Lord raise up His army and defeat the evil enemy that is laying his dark blanket of destruction and death across the world.

Matthew 4:17   From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

1 Cor.6:9    Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

10    nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Chronicles 7:14    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.

Isaiah 59:19    So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in, like a flood The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

The crux of what God has been calling His church to is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Let’s break it down and see the 5 steps involved.

1.    IF My people who are called by My name – Are you a Jew or a born again Christian? Than He is speaking to you. I’m both so I better hear the message. There is a conditional promise, we have a part in making it happen.

2.    …will humble themselves – there is no room for personal pride in the Kingdom of God, we realize that our life is in HIM, not in ourselves. We must realize that in and of ourselves we are powerless to please the Living God and powerless to effect real change in the right direction on the world.

3.    …and pray – He is not talking about wrote prayers, vain repetitions of something memorized. He is talking about heart to heart communication with the Almighty. The urgency of the hour should be sufficient motivation to heart felt fervency to petition the throne of God for ourselves, our families, the people within our circles and for our nation.

4.    …and seek My face – if you have never experienced the intimacy, the love of God, HIS touch in your heart seek Him for it. So much happens when we do. Think of Moses hidden in the cleft of the rock. A changing experience alone with God is our source of motivation and power.

5.    … and turn from their wicked ways – Repentance is a daily experience. We should be asking God to search our hearts and show us things we need to turn from all the time.

6.    … then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land – CONDITIONS MET, WE WILL RECEIVE THIS PROMISE.
