Hmmmmmm - Something to meditate on.
Only The Supernatural Can Save Our Nations
.....'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
Zec 4:6
.....If God is for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:31
Much of the world including the western world has departed from the supernatural
spiritual God and turned to natural gods for provision and protection. The core
of natural living is confidence or faith in our mental and physical abilities
to provide all that is needed to sustain and fulfill life. The core of supernatural
living is confidence or faith in spiritual supernatural God to provide all that
is needed to sustain and fulfill life.
Progressively through history the nations of the western world developed many
gods in an attempt to provide what the one true God could and would have provided.
God in His wisdom and mercy is allowing mankind to exhaust every possibility
of seeking to make our other gods work for us. Further, we have added the hypocrisy
of token affection and allegiance to the true God while serving others and thus
have hastened the end of our foolish attempt to replace the one true God with
those of our own making.
The end of our foolishness is in sight.
We as western nations have separated ourselves from the provision and protection
of God by seeking after many natural gods such as immoral pleasure, sports,
riches, power, intellectual supremacy, and all that fulfills the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The western world that should
have been the "Israel of God" bringing forth Christ to the developing
world and leading the world to the reality of the supernatural spiritual God,
has come to its end. Multitudes who should have been the priest and kings of
God have become like the base animals, doing that which pleasures the flesh
and defending their independence from God and their right to choose their deviate
perversions and serve their natural gods. Aligning with natural gods has invited
the evil occult and psychic powers to invade the western world.
In the midst of this prevailing darkness there is a growing nucleus who are
not bowing the knee to the gods of this world. They refuse to be a part
of the foolishness and continue to seek the true supernatural spiritual God
with their whole hearts. The only hope of survival of the nations of the western
world is that this spiritual seed of Christ will supernaturally mature and permeate
the culture of the west, changing it into the kingdom of God. God is pouring
out His Spirit on the children and young people who will come to Him. These
can become the seed who will release the supernatural power of God to change
the world. This generation can be the one to end our foolish journey and turn
the world toward the New Jerusalem.
Only a supernatural move of God can save our nations.
The end of our journey will be our nations turning to the supernatural spiritual
God or facing the severe chastening of this immanent day of the Lord. The
kingdom of God is not in jeopardy and will be established in the earth. It is
us, our nations, who are in jeopardy. Nations have been weighed in the balances
and are found foolish and wanting. A mighty people are being raised against
the western world. Without a supernatural intervention the verdict will be carried
out. The severe chastening of the LORD will destroy the evil to preserve and
protect the seed of the kingdom of God on the earth and to allow it to come
forth.
Our natural gods will not save our nations. All the psychic forces, all
the intelligence, all the military might and power we can call forth from our
other gods will be of no help against the forces coming against our nations.
The core strength of a nation is its righteousness - rightly aligning with the
one true God and His right ways of being and doing. The hearts of the people
are made strong by following the leadership of the Spirit. Purity and holiness
cause people to be powerful and wise. Seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness
leads to victory and great accomplishments for good in the world. In contrast,
the foolishness of following the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and
the pride of life weakens the hearts of the people and the nation and leads
to defeat and death.
Jer 2:27-29: .... For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their trouble They will say, 'Arise and save us.' But
where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, If they
can save you in the time of your trouble; For according to the number of
your cities Are your gods, O Judah. "Why will you plead with Me? You all
have transgressed against Me," says the LORD.
Much of the world has moved so far from God that the ways of God seem as utter
foolishness to them, and the ways of lust and pride seem completely natural
and good in their darkened minds. Sexual immorality and perversion are seen
as normal and good. Having sex and dating are the same to them. Men and women
living together unmarried is natural and good. Sex with a same sex person seems
a viable option and reasonable to them. Violence seems exciting and fun. They
are like natural brute beast without conscious, biting and devouring one another
over the meat of the kill or the proceeds of the ill-gotten gain or the oil
of the earth. We are not speaking of only the underworld of society. We are
speaking of the attitude and beliefs of college graduates, the rich and famous,
the educated and the ignorant alike.
2 Pet 2:12: But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed,
speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in
their own corruption,
By all natural standards it is already too late for the nations of the western
world to be saved. Like all great nations of history their time has come to
an end. The natural reality is that their corruption has brought them down.
The great experiment of democracy has proven that only a godly people can actually
rule themselves. Freedom belongs to the people of God and will not be sustained
by a corrupt nation. Attempts to twist God's arm in prayer to spare our corrupt
nations will not be fruitful. Corruption does not inherit incorruption. This
corruption must put on incorruption. Pray for our nations to become the kingdom
of God and the glory of God to cover the people and the land.
Salvation of the nations of the western world now rest only in the supernatural.
If God were for our nations none could stand against us. If we were nations
of God's people seeking and serving Him with our whole hearts the supernatural
power of heaven would be with our nations. God would raise up leaders like Joshua,
Gideon, and others. And would supernaturally give them wise strategies and work
with them to encourage and empower the people and all the nations of the world
could not overtake the nations whose God is the Lord.
Psa 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He
has chosen as His own inheritance.
Psa 33:16-17: No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is
not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither
shall it deliver any by its great strength.
Psa 33:18-22: Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those
who hope in His mercy, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive
in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our
heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your
mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.
Psa 34:1: I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be
in my mouth.
FATHER, we call upon You in the name of Jesus. We come before Your throne of
mercy and grace. We receive Your mercy and grace. We ask for a supernatural
outpouring of your Spirit and power throughout the western world to transform
the people. We ask, Father, for a spirit of repentance to grip our nations that
will rend the hearts of the multitudes. Show Yourself strong and mighty in the
face of the people of our nations. Block the way of the foolish and open the
resources of heaven to burn away the evil in hearts and minds. We choose You,
Father. We honor You, praise You, worship You, and we turn from all other gods
to You alone.
In the name of Jesus, we push back the darkness and foolishness covering the
minds and hearts of the people and proclaim Your light flowing into the hearts
of men, women, and children across the lands. Father, take possession of all
that is Yours and lift up a mighty standard of truth in your people. Father,
send leaders to help us to change and be encouraged and empowered to become
the true apple of Your eye, Your New Jerusalem on earth. Move upon Your people
in every land across the world to turn fully to You and seek You and Your kingdom
with our whole hearts. Let Your righteousness prevail and all else be put down
forever and ever, Amen and Amen
Keep on Pursuing Love,
It Will Never Fail,
