Psalm 80:1-3, 17-19

O Shepherd of Israel, hear us, you who lead Joseph’s flock, shine forth from your throne upon Ephraim, Benjamin, Manasseh.  O Lord, rouse up your might, O Lord, come to our help.

God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.  May your hand be on the man you have chosen, the man you have given your strength, and we shall never forsake you again: give us life that we may call upon your name.

God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.

Amen, and Amen

Making America Godly

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. – Proverbs 17:15

It was a saying of Solon the Athenian lawgiver, that “a Republic walks upon two feet; one being just punishment for the unworthy, the other due regard for the worthy.  If it fail in either of these, it necessarily goes lame.  How much more if it fail in both?”

Form your opinions of others and of right and wrong, not at the prompting of the world, but as though you are under the watchful eye of God.  Because you are, whether you are a friend of God or not.  The PC (politically correct) crowd constantly tries to force us to obey and treat them as gods as they usurp and twist God’s authority.  Those individuals do not realize how awfully they are provoking God, but they will; we Christians ought to pray that they experience punishment from His hand sooner rather than later so that they might have the opportunity to repent.  In all our most secret judgments of men and things we are accountable to Him.  Don’t let that cripple you in your judgments; however, do let it empower you to always make good and proper judgments/decisions.

The majority of Christians seem to have abjured the duty of conscientiousness, and the abjuration is one of the most fearful symptoms of our time.

To abjure is to formally renounce something.  It is to give up a previously held belief, especially formally or solemnly.  One of the most blatant examples is the “ordination” of “priests” who advocate for ongoing, active homosexuality in the church as a practicing homosexual.  Now I know full well that I have just committed blasphemy with the PC crowd but Heaven is doing a slow clap and saying, “About time you started waking up and declaring truth as it is revealed by God in the Holy Bible.  Don’t stop there, because there is so much more.  Do not be kowtowed by the PC crowd, their ways are not God’s ways and their ways shall not successfully stand when the judgment of God comes upon them.”  Don’t like this?  Dial 1-800 TELL-GOD.  (Actually that is probably a “900” number because someone is going to pay the price for not obeying the Word of God.)

Proverb 12:2, “A good man obtaineth favor of the Lord; but a man of wicked devices He will condemn.”

The second abomination to the Lord according to Proverb 17:15 is “he that condemneth the just.”  We must form our opinions of others as under the watchful eye of God and not according to the world’s constantly changing opinion.  Deviancy has been getting defined downward because of a lack of boldness to stand against the PC crowd.  “All it takes for evil to triumph is for the good to fail to take a stand against it,” Edmund Burke. –or words to that effect-  The duty of estimating others as in the sight of God is not by any means a light one, but a most solemn one.  Unholy and unprincipled and unethical life, wherever found, ought to be protested against by the servants of God.  It is a blessing that unethical Hillary does not currently hold a public office; it is a shame that she ever did.  There is a sad tendency among us to overlook those faults (sins) which fall in line with the practice of the day, which consist in the neglect of unwelcome duties, or the committing of lightly esteemed sins.

Men and women who refuse to acknowledge God’s existence do so, in the final analysis, because it is contrary to their manner of living.  They do not want to bow down to the moral claims of a holy God on their lives. – R. C. Sproul

Pray for America

What I believe is that Donald J. Trump has been put in as the President of the United States of America by God… As much as I believe that. I also believe that Satan has the goal to remove him in disgrace. I have never seen a president attacked so viciously as President Trump is. It’s obvious that Satan thought he had this country in his control with his people in charge of things but God has a plan.  It’s not time for the United States to fall as long as God’s people will seek Him, pray, and believe.  We may yet have a brand new Great Awakening – it will be awesome.

Pray first 2nd Chronicles 7:14 and then Pray in accordance with 2nd Timothy 2:1.

Pray for President Donald Trump that God will give him strength to stand against the attacks the enemy is sending to him now…It doesn’t matter what party you belong to, it matters who God has chosen to lead. This country is in better shape than it has been since Ronald Reagan. Jesus said to pray for our leaders. PRAY!

I wrote what I did because as a woman, as a mother, I was oppressed and broken-hearted with the sorrows and injustice I saw, because as a Christian I felt the dishonor to Christianity – because as a lover of my county, I trembled at the coming day of wrath. – Harriet Beecher Stowe

 

Democrats Don’t Represent America

The illusion that the Democrat party represents the majority of Americans has been exposed as a falsehood with the election of Trump.  During BHO’s presidency the Democrats have been losing seats all across the land, not just in D.C.  At the same time, let us not forget that the DNC has a long history of obtaining votes from the deceased not to mention those in the country illegally.

Democrat politicians routinely violate the laws and, if caught, call for a new law to be written in an effort to deflect from the fact that they are in violation of existing law when a new law is not actually not needed in order to address the problem.  They then have a tendency to mount a vociferous attack against those who dare to point out the fact that the Democrat is in violation of existing law as he proceeds to claim his opponent is attempting to obstruct justice because they have dared to claim that a new law is not necessary.  All too often, everyone gets confused and new legislation gets drafted and debated.

Now it has taken a long time but the Church is finally beginning to be bothered by the erosion of its civil liberties.  Many Evangelical Christians have finally awakened enough to be praying for the demise of the Democrat party because of its anti-God/anti-Christian stances and policies.  We are even now finally starting to realize that the Democrat Party suffered major losses in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016.  The Main Stream Media has been “spinning” (twisting the facts) and covering up for the elitist politicians but the veneer has finally gotten so thin that we can finally see through it and we now know God has been answering our prayers.  Therefore we now have a real opportunity to truly Make America Great Again via a magnificent and true Great Awakening of the scale and nature that helped to bring the USA into existence in the first place.

President Elect Donald J Trump is our Nahum.  After the preaching by Jonah the city-state of Nineveh had a “Great Awakening” and was greatly blessed by the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  After many years Nineveh forgot God.  Nahum was sent to them and they could have returned to God and been blessed once again.  America has been highly blessed by God.  America has been tolerating things that God has said should not be tolerated.  Political correctness has been allowed to silence voices that should never have been silenced.  Trump has a skill set that can be used by God to change the course America is currently on.  Dystopia does not have to be our future state.  This is not the time to stop praying in accordance with 2nd Chronicles 7:14.  We are in need of a brand new Great Awakening all across the USA for that is what will Make America Sane Again, and Make America Work again, and, yes, even Make America Great Again.
