I've already been on my knees this morning in prayer for our country. I am full of fear and anxiety of what is to come. I know that God does not give me the spirit of fear, but I can't help but wonder where we will go as a nation with views such as our new president. I asked the Lord to give me peace to know that His plan will prevail over all others. I asked Him to keep His hand on America; to protect us and keep us safe even though we are a sinful nation. All the godly morals and values our country was founded on are all but gone out the window.. I just pray that God has mercy on us.
Anyhow, read below and pass along if you like. If you don't like, or are offended by this, please don't comment because it will do you no good.
In prayer for our country,
Rachel
A Opportunistic Time..
Well, it’s official. We are now a Democrat-led nation. Heaven help us, and I mean that literally. Today is the start of a new era. Where the majority of our leaders believe a baby can be killed in the womb, two men or two women can marry, to succeed in business means to lose more of your money to the government so lazy people can profit from your hard work, that true Christianity is equal to terrorism, and socialism (whether it be in business, civil services or healthcare) is the word of the day.
I read that Europe and the Middle East are rejoicing. I bet. We are becoming more like the dark, souless, overtaxed, miserable, secular culture of Europe with every new generation. Pretty soon our middle class will be in as bad shape as theirs is, and then maybe we can mindlessly blame some random European country for all our troubles, like they seem to have perfected blaming us all these years. (unless they need our resources or money, that is.)
And middle easterners..well, let’s just say we’ve now got a big, red target on our backs. And only a socialist, baby-killing, Israel-hating “let’s talk it out over a campfire singing kumbaya with the Iranians” president to stand in their way.
Yeah, it’s a scary time. And one I really, really don’t want to raise my children in. But you know what? God is still on His throne. And when it gets down to it, for some reason He’s decided in His infinite wisdom to let these people rule my government. Maybe it’s because the gospel has grown stagnet due to the apathy of American christians spoiled by a great economy, freedom of religion, and the ability to basically say and do what we want when it comes to the spreading of the Word. (so we haven’t) Maybe persecution has to happen (and make no mistake that given the chance, there WILL be laws and bills brought forth that will attempt to take away freedoms we have enjoyed up til now) like in China, for believers to find our inner fire restored, and for revival to break out again. Or maybe we are just seeing the fulfillment of the scriptures in the setting up of a socialistic one-world government where the embodiment of Satan and his false prophet will be able to flourish.
What?! Think I’m going overboard? Talking like one of those armageddon crazies on the sidewalk? If you believe that the Scripture is God’s written word to man, then you have to believe it is inerrant and therefore, what it says will happen, WILL happen. Read Matthew Chapters 24-25, 2 Corinthians 11:12-15, Revelation Chapter 17-21, and on and on.
Yep, it can be scary to think this could be the beginning of the end of the world as we know it. But it can also be an exciting, thrilling time to be a believer. A time to get on our knees and pray for guidance and wisdom. To begin to see the possibilities of reaching our lost neighbors, family members, friends, etc. in a whole new way. To grow more intimate with our Savior as we prepare for what might occur and to worship His majesty and sovereign grace even more.
For when all is said and done, no matter the president and what earthly power may hold sway, I know who has won the ultimate battle and in whose arms I will live my eternal life.
