A Nation sins and there is hope, the judgment of God comes. He is just, true and slow to anger. If this Nation will humble itself and turn from its wicked ways then perhaps the Lord will show mercy and the nation shall live. In the midst of this pain and suffering while real death and destruction are in front of our very eyes. Instead of Gods people brining the message of hope and repentance with a clear path towards dominion and honor. They instead have embraced a narcissistic message of escapism and covered the truth of God with a lie. This is prophetic hocus pocus and a scapegoated dereliction of the calling from the almighty God on his invincible warriors. They are to be the standard and lead the nations. Because we have despised discipline and would heed not the instruction, the work of dominion has become as a forgotten illusion and nihilism our daily bread. When we misread the truth of Gods covenantal judgment we the very priests of the nation damn our existence and future to a terrible and horrifying end. Do we remember the story of Lott? He hid from the world and lost it all.
A life of compromise and tolerance will lead to a bitter end, But the Spirit of the living God commands you and He says:
Go – Occupy – Dominion
Revelation 12:11"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death" The God of the bible demands action on his behalf, overcoming and dominion have the same sense of purpose and order of the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
We must be those who "occupying till I come" or else we become the disobedient enemies of
God and he says "bring them here and slay them before me."
Luke 19:27
Immorality – Immaturity – Narcissism
Our cultural appetite has become unnatural and self-defeating. The social and official structures we have built are to the rewarding of evil and the punishment of good. So much for nation building and cultural establishment but oh yeah all our affections are coming from an apathetic stupor. Being blinded by the titillations of our mind, like so many lemmings running off a cliff we are blinded by ourselves. If we are to save the land of the free and the home of the brave, this precious land that I love. These pits of destruction must be filled in with maturity and personal sacrifice. Having a strong conviction based on eternal truth that comes from the fear of the Lord. We can and we must put down these self-defeating chains that drag us to hell.
If we by contrast become a moral mature self-denying people there is hope. God is no respecter of persons. He does not sit idlely by as a fickle fool weighing the positions of various sides trying to decide which one will best suite Him. He is the way He is the Truth He is the life. The real question is not "if God is on our side" but are we on His?
-Choose you this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord!
-What does God require of you oh man? But to do justice to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.
Please forgive me oh God for my slack hand in the midst of all your blessings; please help us walk in the light while it is called today. We must mount up the battle and not grow weary. If you can't run with men how will you run with horses? If we repent and embrace morality maturity and self-denial our nation will be great again and that's what it means to give me liberty or give me death!
We need Brothers like you, Brad...to be both an exhorter to us for victory AND a weeping prophet to plead unto the Father for our hitherto blessed nation and her people.
ReplyDeleteMost Christians, if they are honest, (insert me here as well) would ask: When is it appropriate to have a "battle" mindset?
Let's face it, a battle mindset is not a come-what-may outlook on life.
Many of our veterans (all wars) struggle with getting out of their battle mindset. Gulf War vets still find themselves looking for IUDs even while driving in their home town.
But you're talking about a constant, unrelenting, spiritual battle; one that demands vigilance, not just P/T awareness...so I hear YOU asking:
When can we justify NOT having a battle mindset?
I thank you for asking...keep on exhorting...as Joshua & Caleb would exhort the people fight & claim their inheritance.
God bless you & your family. DD
