Can God Bless a Country..........

Can God bless a country whose leaders require abortion on demand? Can God bless a country who leaders demand God to be taken out of the public square and twist the meaning of “Separation of Church and State”? Can God bless a country that abandons a moral foundation and calls it “Free Speech” or “Art” in the form of internet pornography? Can God bless a country that embraces same sex marriage, when the Bible speaks against it? Can God bless a country where if you speak against Homosexuality, it is considered hate speech? Can God bless America whose leadership takes the hard work, and effort of their citizens (in the form of overreaching taxes), to fund an immoral beaurocracy?

     It is very clear by the Word of God, the Lord cannot look upon sin, and bless it as if it were righteousness. Isaiah 5:20; Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

     Even if jobs return and the stock market sky rockets, God could not bless the sin of America. If we turn away from sin and embrace righteousness, and allow God to have His proper place in America, He will bless this country above all that we could ask or think.

     Lord woe to those who call evil good and turn their back on You. Who deny Your righteousness, and holiness. Lord heal us from the inside, from the leaders to the citizens. Bring back morality to our country and heal our land, in Jesus name Amen.

America's Morality

     You cannot turn on the TV, go to the movies, read a magazine, or even go to a public high school, without being bombarded with sexual immorality.  Sexual immorality has become America’s morality.

     We have allowed Hollywood to set our moral standards for our home, and our country.  The problem is they have no moral compass because they are Anti-God in all their beliefs.  How do I know this? Because of what they spew.   The God fearing in Hollywood are in the closet so to speak, fearful they will not have work if they allow their beliefs to be made known.

     How have we gotten to this point?  I believe we got there by allowing ourselves to be demonized, marginalized, and silenced by Hollywood, and the mainstream media.  Saturday Night Live, and characters like the “Church Lady”, “Flanders”, from The Simpsons, and others make a mockery out of Christianity.   We have allowed this by our kind and gentle nature. 

     We Christians are not a protected class like Muslims.  It is perfectly fine to make fun of Christians, call them names, belittle them, and impugn them.

     I believe that the closer we get to the coming of the Lord the worst it will become.  I believe eventually Christianity will be outlawed in America.  Hate crimes legislation is the first step to silence the Christian Community, and Pastors who preach the Bible. 

     The Bible is very specific on its view of Homosexuality, and that will be the basis on which Christianity will be outlawed, under the guides of hate speech.

     Lord we have allowed the Gospel to be impugned, and ridiculed.  Lord forgive us for not being bold and standing up for righteousness.  Lord you are coming soon and the days are growing more evil.  We need You now more than ever. In Jesus name Amen.

Destroying American From the Inside

     I was watching Hannity’s America on Tuesday night November 10, 2009,when I caught the “Man on the Street” segment.  It made my blood boil.  They asked the question “Who is Joe Biden?” too the folks in Hollywood California.

     Only 34% of the people they asked in Hollywood knew who Joe Biden was, but they all knew who the husband of Angelina Jolie was.  To make it worse there was a young lady who touted how she really didn’t like America.  She said she was moving to England, but she didn’t know who the Prime Minister was.

     What is happening to our citizens?  What is happening to our children?  What are we doing to ourselves?  Why are we allowing ourselves to be destroyed by the inside?  Other than sex education, values clarification, tolerance, revisionist history, and global warming, what are we teaching our children.  Our children have no love or allegiance to this country.  They have no knowledge of how this country was founded and they are taught, we are the cause of all the evil in this world.

     How did we allow ourselves to get to this point?  I know exactly how!  We through God out and brought “Secular Humanism” in.  We forgot the One who created us, and replaced the Word of God with the DaVinci Code, the Ten Commandments with self esteem, and political correctness.  We have allowed the main stream media, and Hollywood to set our moral values.

     Lord we have gone so far from You, we have thrown out your Word, and turned bitterly against You.  Allow us to see clearly what we have done to us and our children.  Bring us back, forgive us for our sins, and heal this land.  And to those that hate this country, Lord give them the provision to leave and start their life elsewhere, in Jesus name Amen.

     

Let My People Go

     On Saturday November 7, 2009 the House of Representatives passed the Healthcare Reform Bill.  If this bill or something similar passes the Senate, we as American will have sold ourselves in to bondage to the federal government.

     In our quest to find security, or utopia, or any other name you want to give it, we will become slaves of the federal government.  The government will now have the power of life and death over the citizens.

     Regardless of the opposition to this Bill from the citizens, the congress was bound and determined to jam this down our throats whether we want it or not.  It is obvious by the large protest on Thursday November 5, 2009, that the people were willing to go see their Representivies face to face to kill the bill.

     I believe the people have final awaken from their stupor, and are willing to take on the powers in Washington DC.  On Tuesday, November 4, 2009, is just a sneak peak of what is about to transpire, when the people find their voice.

     This is beginning to remind me of Moses in the book of Exodus, when the Pharaoh harden his heart and wouldn’t let the children of Israel go.  Even after he agreed to let Israel go, the Pharaoh recanted and chased Israel to his the peril.  I believe it will be to the peril of the liberal wing of the Democrat party, that this bill on Saturday passed.

     Lord we pray for the people of America, that they rise up in one voice to stop the enslavement of our government.  Lord may the leaders in Washington DC, fear the people, and remember that we are a Representative government and not an Oligarchy.  May we find our strength to bring back morality, and personal responsibility, and final do away with political correctness.   Lord go before us and clean up the corruption that has taken over Washington DC in Jesus name Amen.

A Prayer for Fort Hood

     Lord we pray for all families that lost their loved one yesterday at Fort Hood.  We ask for that You bring comfort, and peace to those families.  There is nothing we can say to bring back those that were lost, and right now the families are overwhelmed with grief.  Comfort them Lord.  May the Christian community wrap their arms around them in prayer, and stand with them, to bring them through this tough time.

      We also pray for the soldiers that are injured, and their families, Lord bring comfort and calmness.  May we pray without ceasing until all the soldiers are well, and back to work.  Lord may we see your face in the midst of this horrific tragedy.

     We pray for the physicians and medical personnel caring for the wounded, Lord give them wisdom, and favor.  Allow all the knowledge and training of medicine, bring a speedy recovery.

     I pray for the investigators, the FBI, the police, and all of those assigned to find the answers, Lord may it become abundantly clear what was the motive behind this tragedy. 

     I pray for the family of  Nidal Milik Hasan,  Lord may you be with them during this difficult time and allow Your presences be known to their entire family.

     Lord do not allow bitterness and anger to overtake the families, instead may the families reach out to You and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.  Lord take this tragedy, and make it a triumph in Jesus name Amen.

The Strength of God

     Our problems and issues are so small in comparison to God’s strength.  But do we believe that?  Our problems, our situations seem so overwhelming sometimes we feel it’s hard to believe the Lord, because we don’t see anything changing around us.  Or so it seems. 

     Our problem is we can’t see the end from the beginning.  Walking by faith is not easy.  It’s hard to believe when your senses tell you the opposite is true.  We don’t want to be presumptuous. 

     That’s why it is most important for believer’s to stay in God’s Word daily.  We forget that we are only here for a short time, and the weight of the world, overwhelms us.  James 4:14;  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  (NIV) 

     It’s also important to make sure we are plugged into a local body of believers, who are strong in the Word, who know God’s Word, and practice it even when no one is watching.  Sometimes just knowing that someone cares is all it takes to get us through a tough circumstance. This too shall pass, are comforting words to remember. The only thing that lasts is eternity.

     God promise is true in Romans 8:28;  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  (NIV) 

     Lord today we need your strength to get us though these tough times.  You are always there even if we can’t feel Your presence.  Come to our rescue, and repair the mess we made.  Forgive us for our wrong doing, and restore what Satan has taken away, in Jesus name Amen.

The Tide Is Turning

     The conservative movement in America is making a comeback according the elections held yesterday. The Saul Alinsky tactics of; isolate, polarize, demonize, didn’t seem to work.

     The folks in New Jersey, and Virginia have come to the realization that spending money indiscriminately to grow government is a bad thing for our children and grandchildren. Maybe we’re not “SOCAILIST NOW”. Maybe the tide is turning.

     Gay marriage was on the ballot in several states, and was defeated every where it ran. The tide is turning. People of faith are beginning to realize the Lord really is on our side, and willing to rescue us, if we are willing to do our part and, turn from our wicked ways, seek His face, and God will heal our land. The tide is turning.

     A word about government run health care, and all government spending, this scripture rings over, and over in my head, Luke 14:28,29 "For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? "Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him. (NAS).

     Our biggest problem is government spending, government programs are out of control, entitlements will bankrupt this country. The tide is turning, and we need the Lord to raise up leaders that will be willing to make the hard choices to drastically cut the size of government, no matter how the media will demonize them.

     Believe me, those who stand up will be demonized and so will their families, look at Sarah Palin for example. It’s time to pray for new leadership.

     Lord we pray You raise up the leaders that are men and women, after your own heart. That are will to make the hard decisions to cut the size of government in half or more. To get rid of all the unnecessary spending, and the entire ear mark spending programs. May we find leaders that is willing to go through the budget line by line and eliminate all the waist, fraud, and abuse forever, in Jesus name Amen.

What Will Be Left?

What will we leave to our children if we choose the path of least resistance, if we allow the mainstream media to silence us? What if we go along to get along, then will there be peace on earth? What if surrender to the pressure of an all power full central government to dictate every aspect of our lives.

What if we don’t stop our elected officials from spending all we, our children, our grandchildren, and our great grandchildren have? What will be left? Will there be an “America the Beautiful”?

There needs to be real “HOPE & CHANGE”:

HOPE:
1. I hope the people of America will turn back to the Lord and repent for what we have done to this great country.
2. I hope abortion will be stopped, and those in power who demand it will be stopped also.
3. I hope America will weed out the corruption in Washington DC, and demand accountability from our leaders.
4. I hope we American’s will find our back bone and demand our moral foundation to return to our country.
5. I hope we in American will stop patronizing Hollywood, the media, and the music industry that pedals sex and violence to our children, and call that “ART”, or free speech.
6. I hope fathers will return to their children, and take their place as proper role models for the next generation.

Change:

1. I ask America to change all the leaders in Washington DC. Every law maker, and legislature, will be replaced and we will clean out this mess of corruption.
2. I ask America to amend the Constitution to in act term limits, that each Congressman will have no more than 3 terms or 6 yrs maximum, and each Senator will have no more than 2 terms or 12 yrs maximum.
3. I ask we change the way we spent money in Washington by going through the budget line by line and getting rid of all funding and programs not laid out by the Constitution.
4. I ask we remove all funding from every pork barrel project, and all ear mark spending, and return that money back to the tax payers.
5. I ask we change the constitution, and require a balanced budget by cutting government programs, unnecessary spending, and not raising taxes.
6. I propose a change that every student in every class K-12 will have to read the Constitution.


Lord as we pray for real hope and change, I pray first that You are given your rightful place in our public square. Raise up leaders that exalt Your name, and bring glory to your Kingdom. Lord may revival sweep Washington DC, and may our eyes be opened to see the truth, in Jesus name Amen.

Ignorance is Bliss

      We have heard the expression ignorance is bliss; but is it?  I believe ignorance is enslavement.   Because of the dumbing down of the public school system in America, we are about to give up our freedom, to gain oppression, all in the name of health care for all.

     Our children, and many adults included, do not the difference between a Democracy, and a Republic, and that difference will destroy America as she was founded.  Do you know the difference?  Do we want to give up our Republic, and replace it with an Oligarchy?   If we continue on this path it will over take us before the end of Obama’s first term.

     The Constitution is our founding document, it is not eternal, but it is foundational.  Do you know what it says, or do you know what people, say it says?

     Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: Isaiah 5:13, and, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, Hosea 4:6.  (KJV)

     The Word of God is eternal, and foundational, unfortunately we have not heeded these words.  Thomas Jefferson said it so well when he stated; “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is Liberty.”

     Lord, we are about to relinquish our freedom to tyranny all in the name of health care for all, Lord open our eyes that we may see the truth and understand what we have done.  Lord turn us back to You and heal our land, in Jesus name Amen.
