Do you speak, dress and entertain yourself in the same ways as the world? Are you conformed to this world or have you been transformed?

Have you departed from lawlessness?
Do you obey the Scriptures?
Have you overcome or succumbed to the world?
Be honest with yourself!

God’s judgment is falling on this country. The foundations upon which this nation was built have been undermined and the result will be the death of this land.
Such destruction as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina are nothing compared to what we can expect in the future.
The Bible promises all these things and more to wicked, unrepentant nations.
And judgment has only just begun!!

Do not believe the false prophets of today who continually prophesy blessing and prosperity for the purpose of their own gain. They speak their own Words of Faith, not of God but of their own evil hearts!
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. – Matthew 24:11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. – Matthew 24:11
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. ~ 2 Peter 2:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ~ 1 John 4:1
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. ~ Jeremiah 14:13-14

Others who teach a false gospel of self-esteem and New Age philosophies have propelled us into an Apostasy Driven Church. The false prophets have turned Christianity into a feel good religion, promising the Best Life NOW, while attempting to pamper the masses into submission. And the goats gobble it up like candy.
For among my people are found wicked men ... their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich ... shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? ... The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? ~ Jeremiah 5:26-
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. ~ Hosea 4:6
We are indeed
One Nation Under God’s
The fault lies with the Church.
We have ignored God given conditions for revival.

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. ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14
There will be no national revival as is promised by the false prophets! Why?
Because the people who are called by His name (i.e. Professing Christians):
Because the people who are called by His name (i.e. Professing Christians):
|
|
1. Refuse to be humble.
|
|
|
2. Are anemic in prayer.
|
|
|
3. Are too busy to seek His face.
|

4. Are too in love with their wicked ways and this world to forsake them.

And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. ~ Hosea 11:7
Therefore God will not:
1. Hear from Heaven
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. ~ Isaiah 59:2
2. Forgive their sin
Therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him. ~ Hosea 12:14
3. Heal their land.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. ~ Micah 7:13
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. ~ Hebrews 10:30-31
The Biblical call to righteousness and holiness has been forsaken for an occasion of the flesh. Sin and worldliness are accepted instead of reviled. The cross and self-denial has been abandoned and replaced with a posh feel good doctrine and rampant individualism. The Church is apathetic, complacent and deceived by the modern day ministers of Satan disguised as ministers of light.
If you claim to be a Christian and do not OBEY the Scriptures
you are a LIAR!!
you are a LIAR!!
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ~ 1 John 2:4
Cease your justification of wickedness and sin!
Quit making excuses for your flesh!
Stop entertaining worldliness!
Resist the devil!
Repent!
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. ~ Proverbs 17:15
Have you become a disgusting thing to the LORD by justifying wickedness?
… Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, ~ Jude 1:14-15
God commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness… ~ Acts 17:30-31
God commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness… ~ Acts 17:30-
“We call ourselves the soldiers of Christ, the Army of the Lord, while millions die having never heard the name of Jesus – I wonder what the angels call us?” ~ C.T. Studd
Christian, you may resent, revile or reject this message, but the Word of God is immutable and so:
