This Is What The Lord Says

Jeremiah 6:22 - 23  This is what the Lord says:  Look an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.  They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy.  They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, Daughter of Zion.

In the book of Jeremiah, God was telling Israel to turn from their wicked ways or face punishment.  I believe that God is saying the same thing to America today.  America has forgotten where she came from and how she got here.  America has forgotten the blessings that God has bestowed upon her and has become drunk with her own selfishness.  We have become so prosperous that we no longer believe that we need God.  We are gods and we have made ourselves successful.  Religion is for the weak minded, for those who need something to give them hope.  God is for those who can't think for themselves.

This country was founded on Biblical principles by God for the purpose of freedom of religion and the right to worship when, where and how we want and not freedom from religion.  The fact that a majority of Americans no longer consider themselves Christians is an atrocity.  The fact that we have forgotten our heritage and we are trying everything that we can to remove God from our everyday lives will bring this country to its knees.  If we don't turn from our wicked ways and bring God back into our everyday lives, this country will be destroyed.

In Jeremiah 6:26 God also tells Israel to put on the sackcloth, my people and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing as for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.

If we don't listen to the Word of God, we will be destroyed.

I know this is a gloom and doom message from me today, but I feel in my heart that America must return to God and we must bring God back into our daily lives.  We must put God back into the classroom, back into the boardroom, back into our homes, and yes, back into our churches.  The men of God who preach and teach us from the pulpit every Sunday must begin to speak the truth and tell the sheep what will happen when the wolves infiltrate the flock.  I'm not hearing this message from the platforms of our churches today.  America will fall and when it does it will be hard and fast.

We may not be able to stop the destruction that is coming, but we can at least ensure that we can endure.  If we get back on our knees and begin to cry out to God for His forgiveness.  If we fall prostrate on our faces before Him and cry out for revival.  if we pray for an outpouring of His Holy Spirit, we can make it through.  We need a revival and we need it now.  Let it begin in me oh Lord.  Let it begin in me!  Men of God, let it begin in you!
