Abortion.
Something
I've heard said by a great man, Lou Engle, is that there were many
issues surrounding the country when Abraham Lincoln was in charge.
Slavery was not the only issue.
But
slavery was the issue that was causing the most bloodshed. Slavery was
the one issue that was making our country guilty of the most bloodshed. America
had blood on her hands.
The American Civil War took the lives of over 600,000 men and women, slave and free. Never has there been an American war since then that has taken so many lives. NEVER.
Taken from Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural Address:
"Fondly
do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may
speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the
wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of
unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with
the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said
three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of
the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
Lincoln
knew the word of God and the righteous judgments of God. It was
unpopular for Lincoln to be in the war. It was a costly war that was
not benefiting the economy. IT WAS ONE ISSUE. But it was an issue that
did not escape God's eye. Blood was unjustly being shed in the slave
trade. Blood was accounted for. The war didn't end until every drop of
blood was paid back.
Genesis 9:6.
Abortion is only one issue. I agree. I know that the economy is important and that our environment is important. But, when Israel was living in obedience to God, God worked all that stuff out in their land!!!!! And when Israel was living in disobedience to God, His judgments were just and right.
50 million babies have been killed since 1973 in America alone. This is not the only issue. We have blood on our hands and God's judgments are just and true. America will be required to pay back that blood. Every drop of blood.
Just because judgment isn't sudden don't mean that it ain't coming. (da Truth)
It's only one issue, but it is an issue that will require blood. I believe that judgment is coming to America--I DO NOT WANT IT TO--but because that is what scripture says.
Pray for our government, pray for our leaders.
I pray that God would visit those in places authority in dreams and visions and that he would bring them into the revelation of his Son Jesus. I fully believe that our nation can be turned around. Israel was redeemed time and time again. Ninevah was saved from coming judgment because they softened their hearts and repented. Ninevah was a godless nation. Israel was a nation built upon God. Both were offered redemption and grace from the coming judgments of God.
Beloved--be prayer warriors for this nation and its leaders. There is more going on then we can see (Daniel 10). God can restore. God can rebuild. God can renew.
I dare say that if America softened her heart and subjected herself once again to Jesus Christ, and sought to live in obedience, our economy would not be the problem. Our environment would not be the problem. God put blessings and curses on Israel. Blessings came in response to Israel's obedience. Curses came in response to Israel's sin.
GOD DELIGHTS IN GIVING MERCY!!!!!! Beloved--hear that! Know it! But our God is a just God and is faithful in his judgments. Cry out for mercy on behalf of this country. 40 days till the election today.
I challenge you, for the next 40 days, do not stop crying out. Do not stop asking for God's holiness to be shown to those in authority. Ask for dreams and visions to be ever present in their sleep. Cry out for revival in this land. Cry out for wisdom for our leaders. Petition the God of the heavens--HE DELIGHTS IN SHOWING MERCY!!!! Fast and pray and earnestly seek the heart of the Father.
Peace and Grace be to all of you in the blessed name of Jesus Christ, our Lord
