Another Call for Reformation

I once again plead with my fellow countrymen and believers to listen. During prayer I asked for our Father to give me another verse to consider and was given Jeremiah the 22^nd chapter. At first it was just toward the end of the chapter and the coming destruction of Judah. Yet with prayer, the Spirit guided me to read the whole of the Chapter to see the Lord’s message and the causes that were leading Judah toward destruction. Please brothers and sisters turn to this book and read it. We need to awaken to the coming destruction that will be visited upon America if we do not author change within our country.

God tells Judah to stop oppressing and robbing His children; to deal justly with all even a stranger and temporary resident, the orphans and widows, nor shed innocent blood. Yet we have been robbing each other continually for years. We try to cheat each other in business just as humans have done throughout the years. We have handed off responsibility for the widows and orphans to our Government (and continually complain about taxes to pay for it) when our Father directed each of us to care for them. Yet honestly how many of us put our own elderly kinfolk into “old folk’s homes” because we cannot be bothered to care for them? Yet, my first memories as a child were seeing my Great Great Grandparents at their children’s homes being taken care of. If we care so little for our own family that we cannot be bothered to care for them, then what testimony is that to our moral foundation that we are building for tomorrow. Consider this, your children are watching and you will eventually receive the same treatment, for they will emulate what you have shown them.

As heinous as these sins are they are nothing to our prostrating ourselves to the gods of money and things. We as a nation have bought into the psychological brainwashing that “He who has the most gold is King” or “He who has the most and newest toys wins” or any number of other tools used to psychologically convince you that you have to have everything you WANT and you NEED it now. We have allowed ourselves to be enslaved through debt to corporations who convinced us that we were not complete without their product immediately. Those same corporate leaders are consumed with earning more money so that they can continue to function. The leaders themselves have enslaved themselves to a lifestyle of wealth and luxury that scares them to even consider the possibility of losing it. Money has become our master as sure as the sun is in the sky. Yet God did not call us to prosperity for ourselves. He directed that we help others in need. I too have been challenged with this and have asked for His forgiveness. Yet Jesus tells us that we cannot serve two masters. Which will you choose to serve?

Jeremiah 22:17, but your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness and dishonest gain, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression and doing violence. The Lord was saying this in reference to the King of Judah, yet now it applies to all the leaders and elected officials who are lying and cheating in office. All the powerful leaders in this Country give heed and listen to what the Lord is saying. Anyone who has the ability to help another of God’s children and determines that they will not is pronouncing judgment upon themselves. God continues in verses 21-22 telling them that He had spoken to them when they were prosperous, trying to get them to heed and repent. They would not. Then our Lord promises a sure judgment of adversity and dismay for all those He judges wicked.

Can anyone tell me that we have not heaped the wind of adversity upon ourselves as the Judeans did? I am not a prince or statesman, yet I am not poor. I will not be excluded from the judgment that is coming as the day of God’s wrath draws near. I have no timeline and only our Father knows when the day of Justice will arrive. Yet our God promised to bring upon us justice…and God has placed upon my heart that our justice is coming just as surely and swiftly. Only by a reformation movement such as occurred in Nineveh can we avert the coming hand of retribution.

Yet we are not Judah and this will not be a war of nations. It will be a war within our own borders. Our America will be ravaged as once before yet on a larger scale. God is allowing even now the sun of that dark day to draw near. He will not intercede this time for the good of His people as before. He will allow our own cruelties and lust for blood to decimate and destroy our land. For He has also come to us in our times of prosperity and called for our repentance, and we ignored Him and called His prophets insane.
