God sent a warning to America and her Christians via the 9-11-2001 attack and for a brief moment He seemed to have gotten our attention.  For the most part, however, that only lasted about three weeks.  There have been a few more warnings since.  Judgment is coming upon us if there is not a real, genuine repentance and Awakening…a Great Awakening.

In the days after 9-11-2001 Americans flocked to houses of worship to implore God’s blessing on the nation.  Some thought it could be the beginning of a national revival, a massive return to God.  But it lasted about three weeks.  There was no revival.  There was no repentance.  And without repentance there could be no revival.  In the years after 9/11 America’s moral and spiritual apostasy only increased in intensity, depth, and speed. – Jonathan Cahn, The Mystery of the Shemitah, Frontline publishers (c) 2014, pg 137

As we approach the 14th anniversary of the worst terror attack on America, so far, we probably should take a moment to reflect.  Was it a warning?  What can we do to prevent something worse?  Why did it happen?  Does God care?

Shortly after the planes flew into the towers Anne Graham Lotz, actually the following Thursday, was interviewed for CBS’s “Early Show” by Jane Clayson and was asked, “…how could God let this happen.”  She, quite appropriately and correctly replied:

 “I say God is also angry when he sees something like this. I would say also for several years now Americans in a sense have shaken their fist at God and said, God, we want you out of our schools, our government, our business, we want you out of our marketplace. And God, who is a gentleman, has just quietly backed out of our national and political life, our public life. Removing his hand of blessing and protection. We need to turn to God first of all and say, God, we’re sorry we have treated you this way and we invite you now to come into our national life. We put our trust in you. We have ‘trust in God’ on our coins, we need to practice it.”

Now it would be all too easy to claim that the whole reason God has been removing the hedge of protection from America is because of the pagans in our midst and their misbehavior.  On the other hand … 2nd Chronicles 7:14 says: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  “If My people,” not someone else’s people, but the Kingdom kids.

Many countries around the world still consider America to be a “Christian” country, although that number is dwindling as they observe our collective behavior.  We have almost completely lost our moral compass and, unless we find it, we are going to lose our civilization; we are well into losing it already.  Generally speaking, Christendom in the west has largely become a mass of pagans masquerading as Christians.  The enemy of our souls is quite happy about that.

It is, therefore, time for us Christians to face up to our responsibility to reestablish the moral compass of our nation.  We have been letting the PC crowd bully us into silence by misquoting Scripture and accusing us of intolerance while they refuse to tolerate our beliefs and ideas.

We have been hoping that they would awaken to the folly of their ways and join us as we meander around in the pathway of righteousness.

There are some Christians who are, in fact, pursuing the path of righteousness.  But God is calling all Christians to completely consecrate themselves and commit to following His pathway wholeheartedly.  Those on the left are not His people and they are not going to comprehend that fact until they see most, if not all, Christians start acting in accordance with God’s command to be holy and wholly committed unto Him and His ways.  Repentance and revival are for the Kingdom Kids first and foremost; revival can only happen amongst the Kingdom Kids.  When that happens then there can be a Great Awakening, the likes of which gave birth to our once God-blessed nation.

The agnostic and atheist alike are not going to be impressed or awakened to their need to join us in the pursuit of holiness until they see us truly become imitators of the Christ as we have been called to be.  We need this to happen so that God will be able to bless us once again rather than pour out the judgment that will come if we do not heed His warning calls.
