When I was 16, and I could see my own abs, I entered a new school. The mascot of this institution had previously been “The Rebels.” A couple years prior, the name was changed to “The Buccaneers.” It was finally time, after 100 years, that various reminders of the War Between States be removed. And enough time had passed that it had become cool to be associated with a crew of murderous thieves. I often see little children dressed up with a patch over the eye and a fake beard. Ladies around this country have celebrated a movie pirate with tons of eye shadow and slurred speech.
We often celebrate the rebellious one.
America is a nation of rebels. We once rebelled against tyranny in order to establish a constitutional republic of free individuals. However, we have become like ancient Israel and have turned away from our God. We scorn and mock the Hand that guided our fathers to create a “land of the free.”
We now rebel against our Maker. As one generation shakes their fists at a loving God, the next (their children) become more bold-faced and stubborn. We have approached the twilight of the brave souls who fought against the beast known as Marxism. Now their children are the “floundering fathers” of a generation of perpetual wolf-children.
While dads and moms barked alternative ideas of sex/culture, faith, economy and more, the juniors just bite in and devour.
What we all need to know.
Very simply, America needs to know there are prophets in their midst.
Prophets are cool. Have you ever noticed that a prophet is not afraid? A true prophet reveres no man. A real prophet holds God in a place of Awe. Sure, there are reluctant prophets like Jonah. But we can learn from the scripture not to throw all prophets out with that sea water. He learned his lesson. We learn our lesson that the call of God has mighty results - repentance, revival.
You and I may be those prophets who speak the Words of God, no matter what.
If you bear the name of YHWH, if you carry His covenant mark, stand up and walk on. This is our Mt. Carmel Moment. It is time to stand tall against the moans and the squeaks of this pagan generation. It is time to show the power of the living and loving Creator.
Speak His Words whether they listen or not!
Speak His Words even if they scream at you to stop.
Speak, even if you walk through thorns and you rest in a chair made of scorpions.
Feast of His Word
Dine in the desert if you must, but grab that scroll and chew it up. The Manna of His Word will sustain you and give you that strength. Sing the Word in worship. His praise has become our weapon. This sword that we carry is the same that will win the last great battle. While we wrestle not with flesh and blood, there will be flesh… and there will be blood.
Stand Up!
Stand away from the dust of rebellion. Stand above the sludge and the snakey mouths of the scornful.
God Wins!
God has already won the victory. We win without the world and we win within. My fellow Christian patriot, you are here to make a difference. As you speak in boldness, the atmosphere will change. If it’s just one soul that turns to God, the land will be blessed.
“Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me.” Ezekiel 2:3
America is at a critical moment. Pray for this nation. Pray for God’s faithful ones. Check back often and share your ideas for blessing our Almighty God.
Paul, your statement "However, we have become like ancient Israel and have turned away from our God. We scorn and mock the Hand that guided our fathers to create a 'land of the free'” could not be more true!!! It is exactly what is wrong with this country!!!
