America Repent!

Image may contain: stripes

The upside-down flag is a symbol of a nation in distress. There is no better time than now to fly the flag in this way.

 Our nation is being torn apart but not by the anarchists that are tearing down statues and setting buildings on fire. Our nation is being torn apart by the sin that dwells within it everywhere all the time. God is merely using wicked people to punish us for our sin of rebellion.

 When a nation rejects God and His son Jesus Christ God removes His hand of protection and brings consequences. In the case of the consequences we are seeing right now there is no returning to safety. There is no fixing what is broken except repentance toward God about our sin as a nation and trusting in Jesus Christ.

 No president or any other leader can fix what is wrong in our nation. Each individual must turn to Christ in repentance desiring to have their heart changed by Him.

 We see lots of "patriots" angered by the anarchy ready to fight against their foes but we do not see them bringing the gospel to the people. The patriots want our nation to go back to what it was as though it was once a good nation.

 It was good in the sense that we had the freedom to do as we pleased but the nation used that freedom to grow deeper and deeper into sin. If the mantra of the patriots is "freedom" then they have missed the whole point.

 There is only true freedom in Christ and without Him, the nation will implode as it is doing now. God will not bless a nation that hates Him.

 John 14:15-16 " 15If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—…"

 John 14:21

Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."

Getting and keeping a country free is not the objective of a Christin who is born again. The objective is to bring Christ to those who are lost that they might be saved from hell.

 John 14:23

"Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him."

 1 John 2:3

"By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments."

Is God angry with this nation as a whole......You bet He is and the blessing will not come to the nation. It will only come to individuals who bow the knee to Him in repentance.

Psalm 7:11 "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day."

God had already blessed this nation because of the believers who dwelt here. Since those who say they are Christians have profaned the Word of God and disregarded it, He has lifted His hand of protection from the nation.

The unbelievers benefited from the Christian's faith who lived in this country, but even those who say they are Christians have defiled it disregarding God, He has now removed His covering shield.

 Do not shout anymore; "God Bless America", how dare we demand more blessing when we did not appreciate it when it was plentiful.

Our mantra today ought to be "America Repent", this is the only phrase we ought to be repeating over and over again.
