National Hell

National Hell

Do you ever get the feeling that our once god-fearing country has developed an outright hatred for God? I sure do! Surely I am not the only one sensing this prevailing national evil.

I sense it everywhere I look in our nation anymore! In every public venue, whether it be in politics, in movies, in music, the media, our courts, television & our government; I see a benign mysterious dark super-force at work against God, his church and true Christianity! 

Jesus forewarned us of such times as these! He said the world hated him! That hatred is real in our country today! 

(John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that “it hated me before it hated you.”

19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, “thus the world hates you”)

There is an obvious war being waged on Christianity in our nation! It causes me to reflect upon the fact that any nation that abandons God, after having had a previous relationship with him, shall be turned into Hell. 

(Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell & all the nations that forget God) 

Obviously, only unsaved people can ever go to Hell. Nations can’t go to Hell. Nations must be judged during the course of the process of time. The Hell that comes to nations often comes in the following forms! 

For nations that forget God, they will find social chaos, violence, crime, lawlessness, poverty, drugs, sexual perversion and diseases, pestilences, ignorance, border invasions, corruption, inflation, decline & moral decay in their land!

I think all the symptoms in our nation points out the fact that our precious homeland is in big trouble; with God!

Praying With Power

Praying With Power

To have the most profound blessings and responses to our prayers; we need to pray with the following 3 things fully practiced!

(James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.) 

Note:

Effectual-Start by honoring God in your approach to him. Confess your failures. Beg his forgiveness. Then cite scriptures detailing his love and promises to be with you and help you!

Fervent-Be passionate, constant, talk to him plainly, state the matter of your heart. 

Righteous-Clean up your life, fear God, practice what he teaches in your life! 

Praying with these 3 things taken care of equals the reality that YOUR prayers will not only be heard, but will AVAIL all the agency of God to work toward the success of your prayers; dependent always upon if they match his Will! 

(Point A) God’s will of course is for all to be saved & to remain in steadfast fellowship with him! 

(Point B) God never imposes His Will onto anybody; over their freedom to exercise their own Will! 

(Point C) For any person to ever overcome Satan and his agency, “they” must Submit to Gods Will.

James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God.” Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

(Point D) “No person,” and especially a person struggling with the wiles of the Devil can “Resist” the Devil of their own power and ability! 

(Point E) The Devil will never “FLEE” a person that is not “submitted” totally to God! 

(Point F) The sustenance for submitting to God and resisting the Devil begins by “Abiding” close to God, his word, or His people, or agents of assistance!

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall “ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”

(Point G) In praying for those that you love or are burdened for: remember to first make yourself “free in conscience before God!” This is accomplished by humility and daily rededication! 

(Point H) Secondly, pray to God to maintain the agency of the “convicting & drawing” power of the Holy Spirit around your person of concern!

(Point I) Request that God use the function. Of the Holy Spirit to arrange specially talented and called “ministers, counselors, care-givers, compassionate agents” to be sent into the circle of your special person you are praying for! 

(Point J) Continue to Thank God for his patience, for his ear, and all of his blessings! Be ever Thankful to God! This attitude pleases Him & it will “sustain” your favor with Gods listening compassion!!

(Point K) All your prayers will be rewarded; somehow, someway; someday! We never know when or how! Our requests may not even become a reality in the persons, that we are burdened for; “but our prayers will Always become a source of contentment” with a clean Conscience in the end!

(Point L) Lastly, “without your effectual, fervent prayers to God”; your person, or problem of concern is on their own, literally defenseless! 

I John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

(Point M) Always Remember, God knows the best way to approach your problem and will handle it with the utmost wisdom!
