I am compelled to write this as I feel the Spirit prompting
me. I respond in obedience to our
great God writing before the aftermath of the “Sandy Storm”.
Today, October 29, 2012 God has brought the USA to a
standstill. He’s stopped the
Campaign trail to storm HIS awakening.
HIS PRESENCE. You see,
God’s campaign stands alone! There
is no one that can compete with Him.
He’s stopped the stock exchange, closed schools, evacuated homes and
workplaces, emptied stores, and literally silenced cities to remind us that
there is only ONE CAMPAIGN. It’s
called God.
Let’s think about this… we have spent countless days/money
on who will be the best president to govern the US. Who will offer the best changes?? And yet I fail to see us in North America truly acknowledge
our great God, who might I add, gave us this country and its freedom. Where is the faith that our Founders
once stood on and built constitutions on?
Where is God’s word (the bible) that we used to swear solemnly on in
courts before testifying? Where
are utterances of children calling on God in “The Lord’s Prayer” in schools
every morning? Why, when churches
used to offer such depth to communities they now are empty buildings? Why can’t we say CHRISTmas???
So we’ve removed God almost entirely, or so WE THINK WE
HAVE. Yet in this moment now… who
has all the POWER? I instantly
thought of Job 37. Read the entire
FREAKING chapter and let it sink in… seriously. I say this as much to myself as all of us! And Canada we are not to point fingers
for we too are experiencing the earth quaking reminders on the West Coast along
with all the spillage that is yet to hit our country.
Oh North America…. How far we have pushed our God. Truly. He is SO loving, and compassionate, so merciful and patient…..(sigh). And when He is pushed to this point it
is because we have become so stiff necked and hardened that it is the only way
that He can bring us back to our senses… which at this point ought to reside on
our knees.
My heart is heavy and burdened… it is pained as I believe
God feels right now. He wants to
love and lead us but instead we have chosen to become our own gods. Fine mess we are in now.
Do you think it is by accident this happens so close to US election when they need to choose a
leader? Do you think God desires
to be their/our leader? Do you
think it’s by accident it will change Halloween evening for so many with such
flooding? Do you think it’s by
accident it’s a full moon tonight when tide levels are highest? Do you think it’s by accident the Lord
stills the stock market and once again the World TRADE area of New York City…
you get the drift… or rather the wave that is upon us.
We cannot afford this disaster financially and yet perhaps
this is what it will take to bring us to our knees in sincere repentance?
Read Job 37.
Really read it.
And may you too fear God as I do when I read that.
But God never leaves us without a prescription. It’s found in 2 Chronicles 7:14,15
If I stood running for president whether people liked it or
not, my remedy would remain as God’s: “If my people, who are called by my name,
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
THEN will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their
land. Then my eyes will be open
and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in that place.”
I write this during the storm. I know not the end result…
but my heart shall remain steadfastly humble through it all.
To Him are glory and honor and praise. “The Lord gives and the Lord takes away,
blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Job 1:21
