July 25, 2016 - So many people are asking or lamenting; "what can I do to save America, I am only one person". It is true, we are all "only one person" but together we are a "bunch of persons".
I don't know what all people can do but I do know what all Christians can do, the Bible tells us not only what we can do , must what we must do if America is to be saved from God's wrath and destruction.
Every Christian knows of the Bible verse; (2 Chronicles 7:14) I suspect most can quote it from memory, but I wonder how many really understand what it says and why it says this: "If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chron. 7:14)
God sent this message to King Solomon in a dream one night after Solomon had been praying for God to accept the temple that Solomon had built for Him in Jerusalem.
As the old radio show went; now, let us hear the "rest of the story".
God indeed told Solomon that He would not only accept and use the temple that Solomon had built, but even if the Israelite people disobeyed God to the point that He caused all sorts of plaques, droughts and famines to befall them, He would give them a way out of His wrath and back into His grace.
That route back to grace is the scripture (2 Chronicles 7:14).
For a better understanding of just what God demands as repentance for our disobedience let's take another look at the scripture.
Let us say it in this way; "if My people who are called by My name (Christians, those known as followers of Christ) will humble themselves (submit to God's will and not our own) and pray and seek My face, and turn From their wicked ways, THEN will I hear them from heaven, I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land."
You see it's not up to Congress or any politician, no, it's totally up to the Christians of America to save her.
God hears all prayers but He heeds only the prayers of His children, those called by His name, we must do as He has commanded in His scripture if America is to be saved and returned to His grace and mercy.
So what did we just learn?
That no matter how vile and disobedient we may become, there is still hope, still forgiveness for our sins. God assured Solomon of this when He gave His acceptance of the temple and that assurance still stands today.
It is totally up to us to receive relief from the pains of sin that we are now suffering as a nation. Christians must pray, pray without ceasing as Paul directs us, pray for forgiveness and for strength to repent and refrain from our wicked ways, no other road will lead to forgiveness and healing for our country.
So there it is Christians, the ball is in our court, will you choose to play or will you choose to forfeit, God and Satan both listen for your answers. I pray for each of us American Christians to pray daily for forgiveness for ourselves and for our country, in time, if we do so, God will forgive and heal...
May God bless you and keep you each day.
