America Paradise Lost Take Heed Therefore!
America, the Weight of Troubled Souls finds itself amid the troubled world. Within are the proud, the wicked, the righteous, the unbelievers, the persistent, and the proud. Hidden within are many sorrows, troubles, and issues. Man, today harbors his sins and feeds them for he is helpless in the flesh to flee the sin of man. Yet Christ Jesus has given to the believers in these last days a commission and anointing to be the ambassadors of deliverance, hope, power, love, and a new kingdom in Jesus Christ. This article is but temporary in the life of men and nation, but eternity is forever. Read, Listen, Heed, the call given herein. The Mercy of God and of Christ await you with Love.
Eph 5:1-7 | Be Followers of God, Walking in Love as Christ loved us
(1) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; (2) And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. (3) But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; (4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. (5) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (6) Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (7) Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Currently, we tend to gloss over things. Much to the chagrin of those who know the truth, people today are force fed men’s knowledge and answers. When men need to know the Savior and his power, we have the church in its convenient truth bringing in psychologists, sociologists, and medicines to nurture those with troubled souls. Jesus knew of this tendency of men. When Nicodemus came to him, he told this man that he needed to be born again, not by the will of man. That is, not through man’s diatribe discourses, teachings, or thoughts, neither through the local membership in the church, nor through any other known means of man. It was to be a pure supernatural and God given experience. It was to be through the will of God and not man, by the Spirit of God and not the spirit of man.
Joh 3:3-7 | Born Again of the Spirit
(3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (4) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? (5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (7) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Even today as prophetic events continue to ramp up in speed, intensity, and bring forth troubling times upon America, the church continues in its age old quest to dumb down events and prophetic warnings. While people play church, give heed to familiar spirits, and even look the part, the truth is, power is gone from most churches. If you want a doctor, then the church is the place to go. They have a doctor, probably good ones, plus lawyers, and all the modern help known to man. The one thing most churches lack is power, this is not the carnal nonsense in most meetings today where people just stand around and shake, look silly, and profess it to be God. This is the true power of the LORD, where prayers and deliverance are the key words for those who need help. It is deliverance by the Holy Spirit in response to a heartfelt cry to God. God delivers his people from their sins, making it possible for them to live in the Spirit, not following the lusts of the flesh. The carnal church is not the answer, the supernatural power of the LORD God who delivers the most ardent sinner from his sins and lusts so he can obtain forgiveness and walk in the spirit, this is the truth many in the church fail to find or see occur.
We have the best educated ministers in the world. They have and hold the finest positions on earth in the biggest corporate business in the world. This is religious doctrine, teaching, and churchianity. It is here in the everyday world of the organized church we find that man’s answer to what the gospel really is can be found. Far from the true gospel we have prosperity, ethics, social change, sciences, and man’s knowledge at the forefront. It is amid this modern church that we can find the epitome of human arrogance and pride. We have cushioned pews, golden crosses, images, paintings, huge buildings, organized structural religious activities, and all within the confines of a 401 c3 corporate tax write off. The church today is big business, although many defend this. The Truth be told here, America, its churches, and the American people need to Repent. We need Revival and the cleansing power of the Spirit of God.
But despite what you may think, the facts are plain. The church may full, may be rich, and may say it has an impact, but the truth be told, the Salt has lost its savor, and the light has dimmed in the saints of God. It is the true Laodicean church found in Revelation Chapter 3.
Rev 3:14-19 | The Laodicean Church
(14) And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; (15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (16) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Today as many know the values and morals of our society is likened unto Sodom and Gomorrah. In addition, our sins are much worse than those famed cities. We celebrate rebellion, degeneracy, and we are carnel, proud, and know no end to our proclivities that are an afront to a Holy God. I need not list the sins here. However, here is a small portion of scripture for you.
Gal 5:19-21 | Works of the flesh
(19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Furthermore, in this we also address that the entire kingdoms of men walk in the works of the flesh. As such are guilty before God. We also briefly say that our world is headed to a global government and eventually the Dark One of Revelation chapter thirteen will appear. It is not surprising then that we have generations of kids who are taught by teachers that have been following a role model of Whorish designs. All of it accepted by the governments of men and societies in general. Today we find everything moves away from the True and living God and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead, the globalist nations herald the Godhood of man. They look not to the coming again of Jesus, Yeshua to this earth; in truth they hate him, while working to deny His Godhood and do not at all recognize that He, Yeshua, Jesus is the “Almighty” in Revelation chapter one. This is found in the greeting John to the Seven Church in chapter one of Revelation.
Rev 1:4-8 | Alpha, Omega, Beginning, The End, “The Almighty”
(4) John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; (5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (8) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
The Congress of the United States voted a resolution in 1782 which approved the use of the Holy Bible in all schools. It not only approved the use but in fact recommended it. Then in 1963 the Supreme Court outlawed Bible reading in our public school system saying it was “unconstitutional” further explaining “If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children.”
Today we have schools that defy traditional creationism, prayer as unto a Christian God, denial of tenets of Christianity, and even promote other religions over Christian ideals. We are now in a system of paganized governmental education. Be sure it is a system that pushes an anti-God platform, separation of so-called church and state, and the neutral ideals which bring forth a cultural paganism in its children.
Go to any mall in America today and you will see kids that make the turn on, tune in, and drop out generation of the sixties look pale in comparison. It is not uncommon to see kids of the same sex hanging on each other, kissing, and being faithful to the schools teaching that anything goes. The kids who do have opposite sexual partners, do just that, have sex at a very early age. In addition, we find tattoos, piercing, cursing, and the paganism that accords Rome or Babylon, or even Corinth.
There is no doubt today America has taken a corner in the true Babylonian culture that today is the accepted norm, even among churches that cannot stress holiness or pursue such. Even among all these things that are mentioned in this article, much is left out. Most believers know what is wrong with the nation called America.
Moreover, the point in this exercise of futile idolatry and fornication is for the pleasure of those in society whose laws allow it and even promote it. This is the Babylon of the New Testament. That place where there is no law. The only rule of law is that “there is no law” against it. It is okay, there is now an openness that will allow the chaos which is in our nation to become worse.
That chaos, which is already here is leading to the entering in of the God of Chaos. This is the Son of Perdition in 2 Thessalonians. There is one rule of law this nation and its people forget, that is the Eternal Rule of the Eternal God in heaven. He holds all nations accountable for their rules, laws, and legislations. He holds all those who govern these nations accountable to Him for their rebellion. Make no mistake; God will judge the nation and the wicked that forget God.
2Th 2:7-12 | Mystery of Iniquity
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (8) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Ti 3:1-5 | Perilous Times
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
It is now that those who are the Lords own need to truly stand up. They must be salt and light. They must be the ones who can offer deliverance to a generation of kids and young people who saw carnal preachers, Christians, and observed the greed that went with the teachings these people followed and still do. Money will not deliver these kids. Pseudo brilliant teachers with a glitz and a huge following will not deliver these kids. Mans knowledge, sciences, and abilities will only go so far, they only can cover the hurts, mask the trouble, and not be a final solution to it. They also cannot provide the power needed for the person to walk in the carnal free walk of the Christian that walks in the spirit. The only permanent, trustworthy, and powerful agent of change in people’s lives today is the delivering power of the LORD God through His Spirit. It is supernatural, it is permanent, and it brings glory from heaven to the soul and a son ship with the Father. This is what the troubled souls in America need today.
Today this Ship called America is a ship full of holes, a ship full of fools who deny God, and a ship full of Idolaters. It is sinking and only the Lord can deliver this country. But the nations of men will ignore the warning. Meanwhile, even at this moment, the Lord is bringing in the Harvest and many souls are coming to the Lord or true-life changing Salvation through Christ Jesus. Be sure the Lord will bring down all such ships. He will, though save the remnant and those who call upon him for help.
Eph 2:1-7 | Quickened Together with Christ
(1) And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; (2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (3) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. (4) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) (6) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (7) That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Paul wrote to the Colossians saying to them in chapter three, verse five and six, straightly speaking of their duty as followers of Christ Jesus. He said, “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.” To this end, we must all obey. All the Children of Christ and of our God and Father must seek our Great God and herald also the salvation found in Jesus Christ, Yeshua, our Savior and Lord. Pray for American Citizens and people around the world to be delivered, turned around, forsaking their sins and restored to the salvation in Christ.
Thus, to America I say be Reconciled to God and to Christ Jesus. To the believers, we are the ones charged with this Ministry of Reconciliation given to us by Jesus Christ our Lord.
2Co 5:17-21 | Ministry of Reconciliation
(17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; (19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (20) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. (21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
