if God is pleased to save us from another morally deprived abortion loving president partial to adopting innocent children out to queers.
God:" if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Sure...God would LOVE nothing more than to save this land...but this land will have to repent FIRST. In the context of this passage we have a NATION blessed and protected by God...becoming cursed by God through that hand of divine protection being lifted.
Therefore it is the NATION that has to repent of its abortions...it's homosexuality....it's lusts and adulteries...it's idolatry.
We, as a Nation, are not. We are still heading headlong towards judgment. Matter of fact...there are FReepers who are reading this right now...maybe even having been raised in a Christian home...who think what I just wrote (and in reality what God SAID) is ridiculous.
You want to save this nation? Get it to repent and pray for that. We get the president we deserve...the rulers we deserve. And frankly...because of the sin of 50 million abortions ALONE (not to mention the condoning of Gay Marriage across the land, et al). we deserve worse than Obama.
You have my full throated agreement on that. IF God is pleased to save us......, without repentance, and that is a big IF, I will be astounded. No repentance in sight so far.
There will be no repentance so long as the Church relies on nominees to pull our fat out of the fire for peace in our land.
We have two Progressives (short for socialist/communist)before us, and a ton of fine church folk falling in line to go vote for one of them. Both nominees have an oral and legislative history strewn with support for depravity, in their abortion view, their gay view, their self proclaimed Progressive view.
Repentance comes with refusing to vote FOR this agenda.
There is too much risk to trust in God they believe.
Repentance is accomplished by trust in God. Few have trust in God to trouble with repentance in a panic, given the state of the nation and the world in crisis.
The panic of the people creates the pandemonium and their vote for Romney, followed by LOTS of false justification and rationalization for doing so, rather than backing up, backing out, taking a deep breath and trusting God.
There is a reward for trusting God and resisting evil when the Church repents, but faithless people do not repent, and seldom resist. Fear is preferred instead and they select a man to save them.
We shall assuredly have to fall much lower than this before we get the picture and holding us back is sheer faithlessness and panic. Period.
