Let Us Not Lose Heart

Let Us Not Lose Heart - Mike Gendron - https://www.proclaimingthegospel.org/site/default.asp?sec_id=180014816 While we mourn the demise of our once great republic that is now controlled by a Socialist Democrat party, we must not lose heart. As children of God, we know that allwisdom and power belong to our Sovereign Lord and it is He who removes kings and establishes kings (Daniel 2:21). Perhaps God's patience towards America has ended and His abundant blessings will now be replaced with His righteous judgment. We know God is slowto anger, but America has presumed on the riches of His kindness and patience for too long. Does America Deserve Divine Judgment? America has become a moral cesspool that is overflowing with ungodliness, unrighteousness and wickedness. Our government has given women the right to murder their babiesin the womb, and as a result, tens of millions of human beings have been killed in abortion clinics. Sexual perversions of all types are defiantly flaunted and widely accepted. God's unique design for marriage was overturned in a landmark decision by the SupremeCourt in 2013. Our country has also become the largest supplier of pornography throughout the world. These are all symptoms of a greater evil which is the sin of idolatry (Col. 3:5). Our nation has turned its back on the one true God by worshipping gods ofall the false religions (Exo. 20:3). As a nation, we should no longer ask for God's blessings but instead expect His judgment. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness"(Rom. 1:18). The Fallout of a Godless Nation In the last three months, our nation has lurched to the left and has been overwhelmed with widespread corruption, blatant hypocrisy, insidious propaganda, flagrant fraud,and evil deeds of darkness. The rapidity of all these wicked activities has been like a tsunami hitting our coastline and wreaking havoc throughout our country. Free speech is being silenced, culture is being cancelled, truth is being suppressed, and lawlessnessis replacing justice. Demands are now being made to deprogram conservatives. America has become a nation where hostility has replaced tolerance, pessimism has replaced optimism, and hatred has replaced acceptance. How can it be that a career politician supportedby Chinese communists, who had difficulty finishing a sentence and drawing a crowd, could "miraculously" receive 80 million votes, more than any politician in our history? This pompous hypocrite then swore an oath, with his hand on a Bible, while defiantlyopposing God and His Word on the right to life and the sanctity of marriage. What Are Christians To Do? We need to realize the goal of the wicked left is to eliminate our Christian influence and silence our moral voices. More than ever, we need to speak the truth, live bythe truth and defend the truth. We cannot be silent or apathetic. While it is concerning that our republic may be perishing, much more concerning is the reality that people are perishing without the Savior. Let us make it a priority to point people to ourBlessed Hope who offers us the greatest gift we could ever receive and a peace that surpasses all understanding. "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary" (Gal. 6:9). Remember, God uses trials to test our faith. Each test we pass bringsglory to God and strengthens our faith. We need to be prepared to endure growing hostility and persecution, because "...all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Tim. 3:12). Remember, we are only passing through on our way to ourheavenly home where righteousness dwells. Our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:20). VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM
