I have come to the place where I no longer pray for our government. I pray for individuals, for believers to become stronger and for unbelievers to see their need for Christ.
The people of this nation, even those who attend church gatherings are apostate and narcissistic, we are beyond the place of no return.
Jeremiah 11:14 "14 As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster. 15 What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes?"
I have become more frustrated with those who say they are Christians than I am with the world. I expect the world to be ungodly, but the church has become arrogant and self-willed, leaning on government and their own devices rather than Christ.
These gatherings are biting and devouring one another over foolish and superficial things. Even refusing to accept God's will in His judgment over this country.
God shuts down everything using a virus and wicked people and the Christians' response is to complain instead of repent from their self will. Their desire to live free and prosper is greater than their desire for holiness.
They claim many things that are not true but merely their own desires without regard to what God is doing.
God is removing our pleasures, our idols in the form of those pleasures, and all hope of recovery because we have placed our trust in leaders instead of Christ.
In order for believers to get their heads back where they should be, they must accept God's discipline and turn to prayer and study of His Word for their comfort. But they do not, they continue to trust in their own ability to get the leaders they want.
They will not be able to get their favored wicked leaders because we are under judgment and discipline. We must accept God's will in this and turn to Him for His instructions.
Psalm 146:3-7
"3 Do not trust in noblemen,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
On that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and everything that is in them;
Who keeps faith forever;
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners."
If you really believe Christ is returning for His church soon then you will have no interest in the things of this world. Our mission as believers is to speak the words of Christ, follow them and continue with inner peace and joy no matter what is going on around us.
Hallelujah that we do not have to live in fear as the pagans do.
