9/11, Hurricane Katrina, This is a cry for US in the U.S. to repent!  To call a solemn assembly, a “National Day of Repentance” more than a “National Day of Prayer” coming this Friday!  We have sinned against God, against His commandments, and against His righteousness!  How long will we as a Nation, as a whole rebel against the Lord God Almighty?  How long will kick against the pricks?  “God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?”  -Psalm 53 

 

Bottom line:

• We have worshipped and served the almighty Dollar rather than the Lord God Almighty!
• Day after day, hour after hour, minute after minute we murder the innocent through abortion!
• We tolerate and grant the Homosexuals with marriages, adoptions and special rights.
• Our TV’s, Movies, Music have become schools of degradation.
• Sexual promiscuity has become the norm, leading to adulteries, rapes, pedophiles….

  

   Undisputed, the list can go on and on when we take into account the Drugs, Alcohol, Murder, Prostitution, Divorce, Hate, Envy, etc etc.  Worshipping and serving ourselves has become the very canker that eating away our lives!  From the Preacher to the President and from the White House to the Whore House altogether are become filthy!  Surely the wrath of God is kindled against this Nation!  IF we only pray and don’t Repent we’re sure to see more corrective judgments in the land (compare Revelation 2:21; 9:20; 16:9; 16:11).   The American dream will become the American nightmare and its Economic prosperity will become a devastated posterity!  There are many Scriptures that have a spiritual relevance, but here are a few to Selah… 

 

• “Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”  Jer 2:11-13

 

• “I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.”

Jeremiah 22:21-22                      

 

• “Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.” Psalm 39

 

• “And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read: Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard; Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.” 2 Kings 22:15-19

 

• “And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.”  Zeph 1:12-18

  

   How long can a Nation continue or a City sin before Judgment comes???  (Read about the “Southern Decadence” of New Orleans).  The Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man.  We’ve become harder and more wicked since 9/11  (Revelation 2:21; 9:20; 16:9; 16:11).  Many Preachers struggle to call 9/11 as judgment and probably will also with the devastation of this Hurricane, but the fact remains, history proves it, God has always been involved in the affairs of man, He sets up Kings and brings down Kings, and Nations, blesses them that bless Israel and curses them that curse Israel.

I pray that it doesn’t take more than this to bring US our knees in repentance!

Men, Brethren and anyone who reads this, do all we can do to help those in need, but the first thing we need to do, which cannot afford to be left undone is Repent!

The love of Christ Jesus constraineth me,

Maranatha!
