I have had this on my mind for sometime now. I feel like I have been led by the Holy Spirit to share this with...everyone. This is the part when all of you are going to turn your head and think, Huh? Here we go...
I strongly believe that the United States and perhaps other countries in the world are under the judgement of God. I know you must be thinking what? No this is just because of George Bush's bad decisions or that it is just circumstances that can't be explained. That is just how things are in the world. Well there is a little more to it. God says in Amos 5:21-26
21)I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
This is where the U.S. is now. God has taken His hand of protection off of this nation. In the end times the Bible says in 2 Tim 3:1-5
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Understand beloved that this is what the United States has become. Even more frightening is that some have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. TURN AWAY from this!!
You must know my brothers and sisters that NOT ALL churches teach the TRUTH. They have their versions of the truth that will lead straight to hell. Some of you may be going now what a minute... What do you mean? Well lets put it this way there are some churches that are tolerant of homosexuality, some think abortion is ok, some claim that there is more than one way to get to heaven. Some churches teach that you have to earn your salvation. Wrong!
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Now some of you are saying Whoa but doesn't God want everyone to go to heaven? Yes He does but there is only one way and that is Jesus. Yes in fact most people do believe in Jesus and in God (they are one btw) and even that he died on the cross for our sins but they do not know him. Some of you may be thinking but aren't we suppose to love everyone? Yes we are. Being intolerant to homosexuality or any other sin doesn't mean we did not love the people we just hate their sin.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23
Everyone needs Jesus. We all needed him to pay for our sins. Jesus is the only way to heaven. I say this because if we had to work for our salvation, the first time we messed up we would be damned to hell. But by the grace of God he sent his son to pay for ALL our sins. All you have to do is trust in him and you will have eternal life. Some of you are thinking but wait does this mean that if I accepted Jesus as my Lord and that is all I have to do than I can go out and sin as much as I want to? Will I still be saved? NO! God forbid. When you are saved or what I really like to say is free, you have the spirit of God in you and you will no longer what to live your old life.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
You will be changed forever and when you do stumble you will have conviction about things you use to do. There will be forgiveness where this wasn't before. All you have to do is know Him and let Him walk beside you. He is waiting. It isn't enough to just believe and have faith. These things are good but you have to have a relationship with Him. He is a personal God and he wants to know you. The one who saved you...the one who cried out before He died it is finished!!! Which means we are not slaves to sin ever again as long as we live our lives not for ourselves but for Him.
Some of you are thinking what are you telling us this for? I'm telling you this because we don't have much time left. We need to repent of our sins and come back to God. We need to pray for our country and for our leaders.We need to pray for the lost. If you are lost or you aren't sure you are saved please ask Jesus to be the ruler of your life and heart. My brothers and sisters in Christ, I pray for you to have boldness so that you go out and win souls for Christ. The time is short. Satan is at work. We need to be soliders for Christ. So when that glorious day of the rapture comes not only will we be caught up in the clouds but all families, friends and anyone we encounter will know Jesus and be up there with us and Him on that day. God wants ALL to be there in heaven with him. I'm praying for this, please pray with me.
I know that I may have offended some of you and please know that that was not my intention. My intention and purpose is to let you know what has been going on in my heart and to let you know what God has been showing me. Please know that I say these things in love and not condemnation. Also do not take my word for it the Bible tells us to "test the spirits and see if they are of God" so I urge you to dig deep in the Word and see for yourselves. I am praying for each person that reads this and I love each and everyone of you. God bless and keep you.
Striving towards Jesus,
