For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
Is it time for America to repent ? I think yes. America's ungodly habits surely need to change, as the country is steeped in social ethics and moral decay (John 5:44). A current environment with no apparent absolutes. Maybe this will work, maybe that will work, and perhaps nothing will work. Maybe this is the answer, or maybe that is the answer. Or, we just may not have the answer. In other words, we are currently in an "anything goes" society. Where are our sacred foundations ? Where is our moral compass now pointing ? Rather than embrace our past forefathers religious base, we seem intent on rewriting the laws of the land, to suit today's ungodly intent.
And God is now saying to us, "You run after material things - houses, land, money - and they eat up all your time and energy! When you were consumed with doing My work, you had joy and satisfaction. But now you are empty, disillusioned, unsatisfied. And no matter what you do, nothing will ever satisfy you!" (Haggai 1:6).
So, which is most important, asking God to "Bless America", or asking "America to bless God". I think you know the answer, do you ? Our founding fathers were not afraid of confirming that America was founded on biblical principles. They used the Bible as the base of their religious faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16).
So, is America's authoritative establishment now doing was is right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25), rather than doing the will of God ? I think yes. Just read the local news paper, tune in the national TV, surf the internet, or listen to any number of current governmental speeches, and you will discover the proof. Or, better still, talk to your well informed neighbor across the back yard fence, to get a feel of the real world.
Has God given up on America ? Well, God never gives up on anything or anyone. He is ready, willing and able to forgive our trespasses (1 John 1:9). We must come down off our noninterventionist sociality correct "high horse", and get back to the old fashion business of seeking God's favor (Psalm 90:17).
In other words, are the American influential political leaders acting arrogantly, by appearing to be superior to the citizenry, and by minimizing the electorates intelligence ? I certain hope not (Isaiah 2:12).
So, what is the answer ? The answer is clear. We must humble ourselves (1 Peter 5:5). We must be committed to earnest prayer (Psalm 145:18). We must return to seeking God (Proverbs 15:29). And most importantly, we must turn from our wicked ways (James 5:16). Then, God has promised to hear us, and heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
This course of action will not be an easy task, as Satan is in control of this current world (Ephesians 6:12). And in these last days, Satan is working overtime, as he knows his time is running out. There again, simply go to the news media outlet's to parallel this world's end time environmental atmosphere with scripture. (2 Timothy 3:1-7, 13).
Time is also short for us believers, as well (Matthew 9:37). So we must be about our Father's business, that of winning souls to the gospel. Just don't be ashamed to tell the truth (Romans 1:16), as God will honor your work in spreading the gospel (Isaiah 55:11)
So, even though America seems to be spiraling down a course to destruction, God is still in control of this old world (Psalm 115:3) . His sovereignty was, is and will always be (Revelation 1:4). He will always be in command.(Proverbs 16:9), And he puts both the evil and the just leaders in power (Psalm 76:6-7) to effect His sovereign will (Daniel 2:21). Putting godly leaders in command, will enhance and spread the gospel. Putting ungodly leaders people in power, will bring about judgment on a nation which has turned away from God (Isaiah 40:23).
Author's Post Script
For America to survive, will require two main gospel attributes,
1-ERNEST PRAYER
A great Chinese missionary once said, " “The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity…if we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God’s standing challenge, " (Jeremiah 33:3).
2- ERNEST PREACHING
By being patient in preaching the true gospel, in continuously rebuking sin and encouraging righteousness. And always be ready, whether the time is opportune for preaching the gospel or not. Whether spreading the word comes easy, or through much hardship (2 Timothy 4:1-2, 5).
Sad to say, in today's American society, we seem too busy attending to our own self interest (Romans 1:28-32), and not praying and preaching as we should (1 Chronicles 16:11). God's people must wake up before it's too late. America must wake up before God's judgment falls (1 Chronicles 16:14).
Yes, it's time to choose, America (Amos 5:14-15)
