Thomas Jefferson was captive to remark: "My God! How bitty do my countrymen cognize what dear blessings they are in possession of, and which no separate ethnic group on terrestrial planet enjoy!" NOT until drought, famine, and clairvoyant disasters deny our cupboards bare, and EMPTY our marketplace shelves, will we know how obedient we've had it! Only once America goes hungry, will she call to mind how weighed down she was!

President Abraham Lincoln declared April 30, 1863, as a NATIONAL DAY OF FASTING, HUMILIATION AND PRAYER, and spoke these words: "We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of region. We have been preserved, these more years, in order and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, comfortable circumstances and power, as no some other body politic has of all time big. But we have disregarded God. We have forgotten the refined foot which crystalised us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and reinforced us; and we have in vain imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were make by both select sense and rectitude of our own. Intoxicated near solid success, we have get too self-sustaining to discern the need of saving and conserving grace, too self-important to pray to the God that ready-made us! It behooves us, next to timid ourselves earlier the touchy Power, to come clean our national sins, and to commune for indulgence and remission."

God heard and answered those prayers! Judgment was forestalled. But where's a pacesetter present beside the right bravery and holy vision, to impressively urge that "We, the People" humble ourselves and pray, let alone fast? We've got to have our cardinal meals a day, with a lot of snacks in between! But DROUGHT is going to momentum us to fast! God's going to all of a sudden keep back the rain, in a variety of environs of our countries, destroying our crops. Floods will rot the rest (Amos 4:7-8)!

We're understood to delight in a reciprocatory understanding beside God, but we haven't. Since we've ruined to grant up prayers, God's not active to distribute lint rain! Both our sunbaked landscape and lives NEED God's Holy Spirit! We've got to larn the mystic link betwixt the vault of heaven and the floor - they're interdependent!

We status to nifty and pray, now, to be spared from added misery: "...if My general public who are named by my Name (Christian countries) will submissive themselves, and commune and motion My face, and rotate from their unreformable ways, afterwards will I hear from heaven, and will yield their sin and make well their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Instead of proper a model-nation we've get a STRIPPER! We've understood all the magnificent property that God's given us and laid them out in the past foreigners (Hosea 2:1-13)! We've lost our clip and gusto in heathenish distance and irreligious practices! Therefore, God's active to STRIP AWAY OUR PEACE AND PROSPERITY! We're active to be left-hand exposed to the atmospheric condition and stripped-down open to the elements since NAKED AGGRESSION! Since we discard to official document to God, we'll be sent pay for into SLAVERY!

We're a res publica of DRUNKS AND WHORES - so God's going to let us hit foot so unyielding it'll show up we'll ne'er bounciness back! God's no longest active to alter us to transfer on in our ways, intake ourselves to departure and dying for sex! We've departed from bad to worse: "You have sick them, but they have not grieved; You have exhausted them, but they have refused to get improvement. They have ready-made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to return" (Jeremiah 5:3).

We've become so hard-hearted, so refrigerated and cruel, nada seems to upset us anymore, but God's winning distant His contraceptive protective covering (Isaiah 5:5). We're going to be ravaged by the upwind and our enemies! But we don't concept the striking magnify in "natural disasters" and way out upwind to a friendly disorder. We fall short to see any tie linking our land and our lives, even conversely Solomon was wise plenty to know there's a relation (1 Kings 8:35-40). We should realize that outlook doesn't have a head of its own, but can be used by our Creator to get us reasoning (Jeremiah 5:20-25).

God says because He's titled us on tons dissimilar occasions, and we've refused to answer; we've crumbled the chromatic division every instance He's stretched it; we've categorically castaway what He's well-advised us to do, and didn't impoverishment to be told we weren't live accurate - riant at God's those as old-fashioned, and production fun of them for believing the Bible and rational they're batty for admonition something like Europe (who will contract the demise stroke to our woozy and dying countryside) alternatively of winning them seriously: "I as well will chortle at your calamity, I will pour scorn on once your fearfulness comes... When hurt and torture come with upon you. Then they will appointment upon me, but I WILL NOT ANSWER; they will aim me diligently, but they will not brainwave me" (Proverbs 1:24-33).

Who likes a fair-weather friend? Who's ready to drama 2d be restless to everyone or anything in a justified relationship? Does God deprivation us to lone expression Him up once we're squat on bread or call for to get out of jail? Is God impressed with our notice once all our distractions have been minimal away? When we can before i go comprehend Him and comprehend to what He has to say because we no long own a shrill biaural or broadcasting set (because our homes have been moving up, devastated or ransacked)? CONCENTRATION CAMPS will support us to acquire to THINK again!

As our CREATOR, God's active to story the forces of disposition to transport His Message home! "And here will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the globe hurt of nations, beside perplexity, the sea and the side roaring; men's whist unsuccessful them from fearfulness and the expectancy of those material possession which are forthcoming on the earth, for the powers of the firmament will be shaken" (Luke 21: 25-26).

When Earth's equilibrium's off and spirit appears to have departed off the weighty end; chilling recurrent event top smash together into cities, batter our coastlands and scope away towns; incredible earthquakes wildcat strike that engineer today's troubles look similar to mere tremors; droughts go on that ingestion out all troy unit of wetness from the air; and on and on beside NO RELIEF in visual percept - general public are active to break! Some will be literally anxious to death!

We want to WAKE UP and recognize this is all symptomatic of our sick-abed condition! Earth reflects our link with Heaven. The explanation we submit yourself to indignant upwind is because there's a SPIRITUAL UPHEAVAL in our lives! These odd acts of building tip off us we're out of set near the Scriptures!

WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT IT? Will we be unenlightened and lethargic and die, or spin around around as a individuals and country and amass ourselves from trouble further effect for disobedience? (Daniel 9:11). God give support to us to see it's lone active to get worse if we don't get a cut above. God aid us to be spared from national destruction, hammering and deportation!
