“If My people, who are called by My name, will 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.”
This is the only thing that will free this country again.
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible.”
“It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.” ...President George Washington
“Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we’re mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” — Ronald Reagan
Beautiful, EV. Thanks...

The consequences of leaving God out of our society will be devastating.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
Patrick Henry
Amen!
Pray for our Country.....please.
EV...thank you so much.
Wow
Thank you
will humble themselves: get used to the idea that you're part of the problem. You helped make this mess....
and pray: if you're not asking for My help, you might not get it....
and seek My face: He's not just your Savior, He's supposed to be your Lord. Find out what He wants you to do, don't tell Him what you want to do....
and turn from their wicked ways: again, you've been part of the problem all along. If you don't admit it, and change what you're doing, don't expect things around you to change either....
then will I hear from heaven: notice it's an if/then equation. If you don't do all of the above, He won't hear you....
and will forgive their sin: you need to recognize that your country's problems are ultimately ethical ones, and that God [the person you are praying to/seeking the face of] sets the rules....
and will heal their land: note that this only comes at the end of everything above. If your priorities are out of whack, you probably think God needs to do this first - hence the need to seek His face....
This is the only thing that will free this country again.
Amen. And thanks for posting this.
I join in prayer for our country.
What many "Christians" fail to understand is that God is talking to "His Children." He's not talking to a secular world. IF, we, as Christians, will diligently follow God's instructions, He will forgive our sins and heal our land. IF, America goes down to total destruction, it will be because WE did NOT follow HIS instructions. IF I have learned anything as a Christian, it's that God NEVER says ANYTHING that He does not mean. He will honor His Word, IF WE will honor Him and be obedient!
Great post, E.V., and thanks for the amplification of the Bible verse, A. M. God bless you both.
Prayers lifted (over and over) for my country.

Georgette is one of the dearest sweetest Christian ladies you would every want to meet. She gave this as a speech at her first Seward County AIP Caucus meeting this past week. She had never done anything like that in her life, but she is so concerned for her country that she is willing to overcome any fear, and do whatever she must, to help get her country back. I think the world of her. She, and millions like her, with God’s help, are the only hope for America.
amen !
the thing is - our young people, the future of our country - does not believe in God, at least not the way we do. it is sad.
Our ethos as a nation has changed from the ethos of our founding patriots who rebelled against tyranny to the ethos of the radicals in the French revolution... hence we have set ourselves up for tyranny.
Right is wrong , wrong is right because the people are morally bankrupt.
Yes,2 Chronicles 7:14 is our only hope and your explanation is very well said. Pray this is understood.
Only by the grace of God can we stand. We pray as many across this nation are praying. God has used wicked rulers to chastise his people. America has been found wanting. May we truly turn to Him.
Thanks for the insightful article.
