I understand that we are used to our freedoms in America, however many countries of the world do not have the freedoms we have and yet the believers there follow Christ.
I am quite sure the Israelites didn't like the Egyptians using them as slaves and yet it was God's will.
There may come a time when we no longer have the privilege of redress of grievances and will be living as the Afghans have to live, under a regime that does not allow any freedoms.
Would we be able to love Christ and each other without complaining about the loss of freedom?
Complaining would be useless because it would change nothing. We would be forced to focus on Christ and pray more, but not for freedom, for the unsaved to become born again.
We Americans have been spoiled all these few generations believing that we ran the government and must maintain our freedom at all costs. Freedom and wealth became our god. I know, I have lived here all my years and watched how fervently the people have fought to preserve their right to sin.
God has different plans for America, we are under judgment right now because of the sin we have enjoyed and worse yet disseminated all over the world. We are the world provider of filth in the form of television, movies, and pornography.
If you do not think we are under judgment just take a look at the broken families, the rebellious young people, and the spirit of anger that is all around us when we speak the truth of God. God is allowing our own sins to ruin us, the consequences of murdered babies, a falling financial system, the ruination of the minds of the children through government school indoctrination, and much more. We have lived in this mess so long we think it's normal, and sadly it is normal for this day but it is terribly wicked.
Revelation 3:16-17 "…16 So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."
God has blessed us only to show us what happens when we place our trust in the blessings instead of in Him.
As a nation, we have turned our backs on His Word and perverted the gospel for personal gain. Many have disobeyed the scriptures more than they obey them. They have twisted His word to say what they want it to say rather than what He actually meant.
To add to the abominations pretenders have verbally bludgeoned those who would correct their false doctrine and beliefs to bring them back to obedience. Those who speak the truth have been rejected, treated disrespectfully, and maligned by those who love their sin.
America needs to repent but it will not. When the sin becomes this entrenched and accepted by even the church we know there will not be repentance, but there will be more and is now judgment.
