Please don’t use the Lord’s name in vain. Thank you.
I’m not ready to give up on America. As God told the prophet, when he lamented that he alone was left to serve God, God reminded him that he had reserved to Himself 7 thousand who had not bowed the knee to Baal. There are many more than 7 thousand in this land who have not bowed the knee, and serve God and Him alone, and I believe that God is getting ready to unleash a spiritual awakening on this land that will be unlike anything ever seen before. God is not done with us yet, and the wicked shall be brought down, corruption shall be exposed, and the land will be cleansed. It seems that sometimes it takes hard times for people to turn to Him. Those times are upon us. Those who turn to Him shall find strength and will be able to withstand the evil that threatens to overrun this land, It will not succeed. God is not finished with America.
Great post! America - I do not believe - will get a “reset”. God is indeed merciful and God truly has “shed his grace on thee” but we’ve thrown it back in his face. I think America is in line for judgement. It may not be biblical in proportions. It may just be the direction a country takes when it no longer acknowledges God and trusts in him - but depends on human wisdom. You know, sort of like N. Korea. Time will tell. One thing is for sure, Christians are about to experience real discrimination and persecution - much like the rest of the world has. But that’s really cause for rejoicing. The real believers will shine brightly in the ever growing darkness that’s sure to come, the pretenders will be revealed for what they were all along and the return of the real King can not be stopped. The heathen will continue to rage and imagine a vain thing (that they will depose God himself) - just like they’ve always done. The rebellion continues. The horror that is coming will reveal just how stubborn and in love with unrighteousness mankind really is. But God laughs at them because he is going to set his son as the King over all the earth and there’s not a thing they can do to stop him as Psalm 2 so movingly states. This is the “good news” of the Gospel. Be sure to spread it.
****** “Whats really sad? Welfare is never enough to break free. Yes. The recipients survive, but they do not thrive. They are unlikely to ever know their true potential.” ******
Exactly
And that is what I am going to do... I am going to THRIVE in spite of what Govt is doing.
Until they put me in Prison for non-compliance I will Thrive and teach others how to Thrive as well.
TT
Unthankful isn’t the word, I am livid this “Thanksgiving” and see very little to be thankful for. We seem to be in a never ending nightmare.
nobodysfool, I pray that you are right about America, but Lake Living, I am afraid that you may be right, instead.
“Welcome to Moochistan (formerly the USA)”
The domain of Queen Moochelle!
“The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”

I believe as you do. Hard times will bring an awakening.

Zechariah 14
14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king’s winepresses.
14:11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
14:17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
14:20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
14:21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
