Greetings My Friend, "If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." God is specific about what He likes, even with things not mentioned out rightly in the Bible a person can understand some things are against His will. Other things God is more specific talking about and He talks about in both the OT and the NT. God is a God of life not death. He wants His people to live and live not only now but into eternity with Him. Right now our country is sinning in huge ways. Our country has been in decline for 50 years or more and it seems to me God is sending His judgement down on us. If we don't heed His commands soon the judgement will become worse and worse until we turn and relent or He will destroy this land as we know it. In almost every way we have taken God out of our nations life, prayer in school, the 10 commandments out of our public buildings and by doing this we no longer strive to live with God as our national leader. When children were taught in schools during the early years of our country the Bible was how they were taught to read. Prayer was part of school life when I was in elementary school and we proudly said the pledge each morning in our class rooms. We had our flaws as a nation but we strove to live God's ways as a nation. Today we deny God in every aspect of our daily life. It troubles me greatly and as the election draws near I have decided to vote and stop my vocal choice. I hear how each candidate is evil and will bring ruin to our country. The sad fact is ruin is here and no one seems to be stopping the destruction. I notice people will only listen to what they want to listen and a back and forth discussion is not going to happen. We have turned into a country where each party thinks they have the answer with one party strong arming the other at all costs just to get their agenda across. I was vocal about my candidate early on and I mentioned the "facts", only to find that those facts were distorted and not heard. I keep quiet now because I do not think people truly want to return to God but to prove God does not know what He is doing. With this mindset there will be destruction in our land. If I am asked I will give my opinion otherwise I will not try to warn others of the impending danger. God may destroy our country tomorrow or in the future but we are not immune from His coming wrath. If we will turn and humble ourselves, and begin to seek God our destruction won't be as severe. We can not deny God in all aspects of our public and private lives and then stand and sing "Amazing Grace" when another nation attacks us. We have to follow God in all aspects of our public and private lives. God wants to be invited in every part of our nations life which means schools, homes, and government. We need to see that God does love the sinner but hates the sin. We need to ask the Holy Spirit back into our nation teaching us God's right from God's wrong. We do not need to make special exceptions for every special interest group that comes along. We do need to treat those against God's will with respect by not harming them but we do not need to give 1% of the population special privelages just because. My heart cries out for our nation. I pray we will quit fighting within ourselves and turn to God allowing Him to point us in loving ways to love our neighbor. We need to all study our Bible as a nation and then govern our nation once more with God at the helm of our nation. May God once more bless our nation, make His face shine on our nation. Love Janet
