Make a Stand for God, (YAHWEH)

And Jesus (YESHUA), His Son

 

 

It is time for everyone  to stop and repent of all the evil things they are doing.  We need to turn to God and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.   Both Moses and Joshua had this problem with the Israelites:

 

Ex 32:25-26 Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies), 26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on the LORD's side — come to me!" NKJV

 

Josh 24:14-17 "Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt . Serve the LORD! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."   16 So the people answered and said: "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods; NKJV

 

Looking at God’s Word, the Bible, I see that if the United States does not  repent immediately God will be forced to judge us, and it won’t be pretty.   Already we have had hurricanes, out-of-control wildfires, sun flares that three times in a row are bigger than anything ever recorded, and probably very soon, multiple terrorist attacks.    Also, if you did not know, Yellowstone Park is getting ready to blow apart in a mega-volcano.

 

First Item:

 

Why would God judge the United States, you ask.   First, take homosexuality.  Beginning in Genesis 19:4, the Bible says:

 

Gen 19:4-5   4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."   NKJV

 

God summarized this in Gen 13:13  “But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.” NKJV  God had to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone, and even to this day the name of the town describes the sin.  But wait, would God let His own people get by with the same sin?  Read Judges 19 and 20.  There we see an episode in Gibeah in the tribe of Benjamin:

 

Judges 19:22  As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!"  NKJV

 

The tribe of Benjamin refused to recognize and repent of this sin, so God had to destroy the whole tribe down to about 600 men.  God is the same today as He was in that time.  What makes you think that God won’t judge the U.S. for this sin?  The Episcopalians have just ordained a practicing homosexual.   Judges seem bent on trying to recognize homosexual marriages.   I even read a recent report that a judge told a mother that she could not tell her daughter that homosexuality is a sin!!  

 

People, God made us in the first place and He knows what is right and wrong, and what is natural and unnatural.  I put this sin at the top because it is certain that God will judge it.   It is not worth it.   Those who do this will draw down judgment on us now, and then will spend eternity in hell.  Paul summarizes this in the book of Romans:

 

Rom 1:18-32 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

 

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

 

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

 

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.   NKJV

 

If we are not supposed to be doing that sin, what should we do? God will forgive the sin of homosexuality if we repent of it and ask for forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Paul tells us:

 

Rom 1:16 -17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."   NKJV

 

 

 

Second Item:


Abortion.   Everyone alive today has a soul and a spirit.   Souls and spirits come from God, not man.   My wife works in a crisis pregnancy center, and she tells me that one of the most powerful tools that they have is the ultrasound machine.   When mothers actually see that they have a living person within them, it helps a lot of them decide not to get an abortion.  

 

To really oppose God, the United States has come up with partial birth abortions, where the doctors suck the brains out of babies that are partially born.  Somehow they say this baby is not a person, when a baby that is still in the womb and is taken out in caesarian section is a person.   This whole thing is a holocaust worst than what Hitler did.   When our Congress and President have tried to stop partial birth abortions a few judges, not even elected by the people decided to block it!

 

God says in Ex 20:13,   " You shall not murder.” NKJV    Trying to cover up murder behind cute words does not cut it with God.  The very first murderer tried it:

 

Gen 4:8-11    Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.   9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said,"I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"  10 And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.  NKJV

 

 

 

 

Third Item:

 

Divorce:   God created man and woman for each other through the bond of marriage.   Because of our hard hearts men and women started getting divorces.   This creates all sorts of problems.   Malachi tells us:

 

Mal 2:13-16

 

13 And this is the second thing you do:

You cover the altar of the LORD with tears,

With weeping and crying;

So He does not regard the offering anymore,

Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.

14 Yet you say, "For what reason?"

Because the LORD has been witness

Between you and the wife of your youth,

With whom you have dealt treacherously;

Yet she is your companion

And your wife by covenant.

15 But did He not make them one,

Having a remnant of the Spirit?

And why one?

He seeks godly offspring.

Therefore take heed to your spirit,

And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.

 

16 "For the LORD God of Israel says

That He hates divorce,

For it covers one's garment with violence,"

Says the LORD of hosts.

"Therefore take heed to your spirit,

That you do not deal treacherously."

NKJV

 

Jesus reiterates God’s plan for marriage in the New Testament.

 

Matt 19:3-9   The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"   4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'    5 and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?    6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."   7 They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"  8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.   9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."  NKJV

 

These days even 50 percent of Christian marriages end in divorce.  Either these people are not listening to God or they aren’t even true Christians.   Broken marriages result in broken children, as one parent tries to do the job of two.  Can a mother teach her son to be a man or a man teach his daughter to be a woman? In many cases broken marriages result in one partner living in poverty.   People need to turn to God much sooner and live according to His instructions.  Jesus told us that people would know we are Christians by our love, not that they would know we are Christians by our divorces.

 

People, rend your hearts and turn to God!  Eternal life is in Jesus.  The Bible tells us:

 

1 John 1:9-10  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.  NKJV

 

Summary:

 

I could continue with this, but I think you get the drift, i.e. the conclusion of this.   The states across the U.S. are all turning to legalized gambling.  Our last President dragged truth through the mud-pen when he testified as to what he had done with his sexual escapades.   When the press published testimony about what he had done it opened the floodgate to publishing similar things that never would have seen the light of day before.

 

God does not like sin.   In fact, He hates sin.  Since all of us are sinners we need to turn to Jesus to have Him wash away our sins.   The United States today is under condemnation for our sins, and in the future God is going to throw all who have not had their sins forgiven in the lake of fire.

 

Rev 21:8   But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."  NKJV

 

Rev 22:12-17 "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.   13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."   14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.   16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."  

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.   NKJV

 

(If you are wondering who the cowardly are, they are the ones who tell themselves they believe in Jesus, but are afraid to confess Him to anyone.  See my page on this for further information.   A saving faith in Jesus is one that acts upon the belief in Jesus.)

 

My plea to you is that you turn to God immediately, both to save yourself and to turn aside the wrath about to be poured out against our nation.   To see how to be saved see my page on having peace with God .
