Thus we may be able to slow things down for a spell, but the election of Clinton and now Obama proves that as long as we allow the left to educate/indoctrinate the leaders of tomorrow we will eventually lose more ground then we ever gained.
So to answer Doug's question, I would say yes, we need another spiritual awakening in America.
Gonna be pretty hard to get so many people to accept a belief system.
Protestants are hearing it called “the awakening” in their
messages from Heaven. Catholics know it as the “Great
Warning.” It’s no man-made revival. This is the Second
Pentecost and this time, it’s worldwide. To prepare, pray every day from this day forward and very important, examine your life and from the heart confess your serious (mortal) sins to God. Catholics have to do more, they must go to Confession. You will not feel the pain of seeing ‘CONFESSED’ sins in your life review. Read Revelation 6: 15-17.
The Warning of God´s Mercy
The Warning is a great act of God´s Mercy, on such a big scale that nothing compares to it in all mankind´s history, bar The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. However, its nature has nothing to do with the noiseless, lonely, humiliating, brutal and loving death of the Lamb of God; but it´s more like an universal smack, a sort of pulling down the world out of its motorbike, the same way Saint Paul was unhorsed, in order to make see the whole world at the same time the blurred figures we have had mocked about previously.
Which information do we have? Here it is:
It will be seen in the sky all over the world and immediately transmitted to the inside of our souls.
It will be an astronomic phenomenon, similar to a bang of stars with a lot of light and noise, but it won´t fall over us.
It will be like fire, but it won´t burn our bodies, though it will be felt physically and internally.
It will last a very short time, but its effects on the world will be huge.
We should not be afraid of death if we are not quaking with fear or, in some special cases, due to God´s Mercy.
Everyone will see in a short period of time how their souls are before the light of God, and will know that He exists, and that He has been present at every single sin of theirs.
It will be like a trial in miniature.
God hopes that, through this act of His Mercy, we amend our lives, and turn away from the wrong path.
Those who already know and love God, will be closer to Him.
Many will be converted, but still many will keep on denying God, denying the One Who is, in an act of supreme hypocrisy.
What nonsense. Anyone who would write such drivel knows nothing about Whitefield or Edwards and clearly has never read any of their sermons. Jonathan Edwards not engaging the mind? Bwhahahahahaha.
Just believe!
Umm, this author must not be a Christian, because every major point he tried to dismiss was a false analogy.
The Great Awakenings brought people alive to God and woke them up. As to there being a more emotional response instead of a quiet one, where did he get that?
Revivals always bring a heart felt response, not one where people just sit and contemplate, but one where people get up and act. Action requires thought and movement. people feel and do.
as for the rejection of authority, claiming it was almost anarchistic...HUH?
The idea of returning to the Bible as the rule of a Church instead of sectarian dogma is one of the strengths of the Christian faith, not being locked in to false religious practices that time and manly interests will introduce over time. rejecting the burning of witches sounds like a bad thing to the autrhor because it involved rejecting the heirarchy which called for it!
Sounds to me like this author needs to actually read more. I wish I didnt have to go to work, but the original premise as to what this nation needs: REVIVAL AND A TURNING BACK TO GOD; yeah, that is exactly what we need, and for the author to take a sideways skewed approach to that point shows he is unable to understand why revival is needed...and at his spiritual peril.
I think the USA is too far gone for an awakening without first a great judgment. Such a judgment might awaken a “remnant.”
no, the last “Great Awakening” gave us Jehovah’s witnesses, Christian Scientists and Mormons. Let’s have a back to the Apostolic church (Orthodox, Catholic, Oriental, Assyrian) instead.
