I have been watching and listening how people have been acting and conversing, leading up to the 2012 Presidential Election. It pains me to see how Christians can take up for, acted and talk about their party or candidate but they can't even defend their Savior Jesus Christ or His teachings! I am not gonna go into a rampage about this subject. I just want to post what God's Word says to do about turning a nation like the U.S. around and putting it back on track. This is truly the only way it will happen folks!
2 Chronicles 7:14 "If
My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray
and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place"
We must also pray for our leaders and not destroy them with our mouth! Why? Because God's Word says that "He sets Kings and deposes them (Daniel 2:21)." Because “the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes (Daniel 4:17).” So if we humble ourselves and do as Gods Word says. God says HE will heal our nation, not a politician!! Even though evil men abuse their political power, meaning it for evil, God means it for good, working “all things together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 2:28). Here is the promise but we must do our part first!
So if you are a Christian reading this, please do your part! Humble yourself, Pray, Seek God and turn from your wicked ways. He will hear from you and He will heal your lands!! God Bless each of you!

2 Chronicles 12:6 "So the leaders of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The Lord is righteous.”7 Now when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; therefore
I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My
wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak"

Well said. Great scripture!
ReplyDeleteGods Word is awesome!
Deleteyes
ReplyDeleteClint thank you I needed to hear that. I pray that people will humble themselves and that God will bless our country.
ReplyDeleteHe will but we ALL must do our part as well!
DeleteI find praying hands in front of the flag a little like idol worship.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing that praying for our country and its leaders, shows about idol worship. As a matter of Biblical fact we are told to do so in God's Word.
DeleteNow if one is praying "to" the flag that would be Idol Worship!
I must ask that if you have mean comments, please just not make them. As you can tell I have not and will not allow such comments to be posted. If you would like to talk 1 on 1 via email, you can contact me at packersfan78@frontier.com! Thank you and God bless!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! Our faith HAS to be in the Lord, not in man. Thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scripture!
