Read the Old Testament and God punishes nations that are evil by wars and natural disasters. God only tolerates so much and then things change. There is a fair size group, including Christians, who want America to become a social state. There are rules for changing to a socialistic system. There are eight things politicians must do to gain control of our country. See if any of those rules are being adopted.

1. If you want to control the people you must get control of healthcare.
2. Increase the level of poverty because poor people are easier to control than those economically sufficient. They will have the least desire to cause a problem if the government is providing most of what they need.
3. Put America into debt to such an extent it will create a need to raise taxes and produce more poverty.
4. Government must control all guns. Americans must not be able to defend themselves thus justifying a police state.
5. Establish as much welfare as possible. The more government can control their lives through food, housing and income subsidies the more they can be government controlled.
6. Take control of education and provide what they can read and learn in school.
7. It is essential that belief in God is removed from schools and government.
8. Divide the people into two classes, the rich and the poor, so that as much discontent is sowed allowing for the taxing of the rich. The poor will support this move.

If you don’t read your Bible, if you do not attend church regularly or if you are not sure there is a God, what does truthfulness and fairness mean to you? Chances are your character and morals are normally determined by the world’s standard. If you buy into these eight rules, chances are you will look for government as your security. What government directs you to vote for, chances are you will support whatever they tell you, whether it is truthful or not.

God was taught in our schools and revered in government. America today is replacing God with pornography. It has become a $13 billion dollar business and America is spreading it throughout the world through the internet. All of this is a result of “free speech”. Many of our young people are becoming addicted to pornography and God and morality is of little concern.

I have witnessed preachers and priests, I do not know the preachers denominations, on TV supporting separation of church and state and social justice. It is not a rarity to talk to Christians who believe that America should become a social state. They believe the free-market economic system is unfair and unjust. In fact, I have heard it said that Jesus would support a social justice system of government.

In the past sixty years, our country has come from people following Christian principles to a nation that is headed toward a Sodom & Gomorrah culture. It appears soon, if not already, we will be similar to those nations God was destroying in the Old Testament because of their evil and disobedience. For this reason I can only believe that we are seeing the beginning of the world’s end as prophesized in the Bible. The only way this can be stopped is for nations to repent and accept God and follow His ways. The chance of that happening historically, has little possibility.

As Christians we must separate ourselves from the ways of the world. Scripture has been telling us for almost 2000 years that we are to love God and worship Him and love others as ourselves. God must be first in the lives of anyone wishing to live in eternity with God and Christ. It is God who is our security and not government. Many of today’s children do not realize our rights come from God and not government.

Our commission is to testify to as many as we can that there is a God and He sent His Son that we might accept Him and live according to His instructions. We must develop an unconditional love for God and others. This is impossible to do without having received the Holy Spirit. We must be converted and live a holy life to enter Heaven. It is more important now than at any time in our history to share the gospel with others if we want any change in our culture. In addition, we need to be aware of the character of those we elect to congress this coming November.

Nehemiah 1:4 – 9 – “When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. Then I said: “Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. “Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’”

God has providentially caused miracles throughout the history of America. In 1746 France assembled a huge armada of 70 ships with 8,000 soldiers off the New England coast with plans to attack the colonies from Massachusetts to Georgia. With little protection available, a call from the governor of Massachusetts went out for the people to assemble in churches to pray and fast that God would provide. Fog and a huge storm hit the ships causing them to sail south into tremendous heat causing sickness and killing over 1300 soldiers. Others were so weakened that they decided to sail back to France. It is supernatural stories like this one that we seldom ever hear.

God is still in control and if Americans we’re to pray, it may be our only hope that Americans would repent and ask God for one more miracle to change the direction we are headed as a nation. Do we have any leaders who will start us praying? I will pray, will you?
