Well, it's official. At least in my eyes it is. America is lost, it isn't coming back, and history will be rewritten so that "America" will be remembered as a failed experiment in self government. Really, "a failed experiment in self government"? So does that mean that every other government has been a success? Hardly.....
So what has happened that America is lost? Well, when you have Billion dollar legislation being passed (which no one reads), corruption at the voting booth to elect corrupt leaders, redistribution of wealth & property to people who don't work and immorality legalized for all to enjoy, America, as founded, is no more.
I shouldn't be surprised. Paul gave us a "heads up" two thousand years ago.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 states;
"1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self- control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." ESV.
Paul says, "Avoid such people". These "people" are the ones running the country! These "people" are voted into office by a democracy of other "people" who don't know who God or Jesus are! These "people" are changing the laws, charging fees and collecting our tax dollars to pay for immorality to occur. It can be quite discouraging!!!
But praise the Lord that God has a plan in place. And it has always been His plan. God never has a plan "B" ready, "just in case". He knows what is going on and we must be patient. If you are "saved" you are already in eternity and this life will be soon forgotten. We must be obedient and do the work He has asked us to do. Tell others of His plan! Join me in praying, daily, for our leaders, family members and friends to be given Spiritual eyesight. At that point the choice is left to them.
It's funny, odd really, that I write these blog post to encourage myself. But each day I must remind myself of these truth's from the Apostle John.
(I learned these from James MacDonald's teaching's)
Love deeply
Obey Faithfully
Live Authentically
Know Completely
Believe Confidently
Over the next 8 weeks I will be training, teaching and encouraging young adults to follow Jesus, not the world. I was greatly encouraged by the comments I received after last summer. But encouragement is like adrenalin, it can run out too quickly and you can't bottle it up for later. Each day is a new battle.
Thankfully the battle belongs to the Lord!
Stay strong, read your Bible each day, Pray continually!!!
