Pluck Up Pull Down Destruction
Jeremiah 18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to
destroy it;8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced,
turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought
to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning
a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10
If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I
will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Are nations entities unto themselves? Can they actually
legislate, live, work, play, and go about daily life as they
want? Are they actually unto themselves with no one to answer
too? Many in the world think so. We know that during World Wars
that nations are held accountable to one another by sheer brute
force. Hitler pushed his will toward domination till a greater
power aligned to stop him. His dominate force was ended by sheer
overpowering force of nations who saw what he was doing as evil.
Likewise today, we have certain nations that seem bent on
pushing their will over other nations. America has done that in
Iraq. While the reason may seem to some as legitimate, we simply
have no right to invade nations and take them over because we
find them threatening. Nor do we have the right to push our
brand of democracy on others. We in America live in a democracy.
This nation was a "constitutional republic". It isn't anymore,
because we threw that out a long time ago.
Moreover today we are embattled in wars around the world. We
still have troops in corridors of Europe, Asia, Middle East and
in the open seas of our world. Our influence is virtually felt
everywhere and people know it. They also resent it. Our
democracy has grown, provide livings for people, safety to some
degree, and many other benefits. But this society has also grown
vices to become large industries. Gambling once a vice is
welcomed in this nation. Las Vegas, Jersey, and Ocean going
ships promote Gambling. We gamble on football, baseball, and
many other things. Prostitution is now a viable institution
through the Nevada business's of stable Whore houses which
reduce the "love" God intended to pure fleshly pleasure.
Democracy has filled our prisons to overflowing, allowed many
convicts to get off early in sentences, and provided jobs for
many americas who are jail masters. Drugs is another consequence
of democracy. More drugs seem to flow into the democractic
nation we call America than any other. Americans love their
drugs and have the money so drug pushers and cartels are all too
happy to provide this for them.
Democracy in America is flourishing with more vices. Today in
this nation our streets are laden with drug pushers, whores,
pimps, street gangs, and cops. Some good cops some bad. Our
courts are filled with liberal judges, corrupt judges, while the
defendants are defended by sharp out for money lawyers. If you
have money, then a sharp lawyer will get you off. Our churches
are everywhere filled with soft pews, golden crosses, shiny
windows, polished floors, and sharp witty preachers who peddle
soft sweet sicky sermons that have not an ounce of gospel power
in it. Our taxes are too high, our deficit is too high, our
houses cost too much, our cars drink to much gas and pollute the
air, our food is abundant while our bellies are big and butts
wide. Our mouths are open, our words are harsh, and our hearts
do not fear God. This is the American democracy. This is what
the world sees. You ever wonder why extremists Muslims would
rather "fight than switch" to our brand of living? We join up
with whoredoms, push homosexuality and lesbianism, tear up the
families while allowing deviant lifestyles to adopt children.
Values today are corrupted, violence is riddling the streets of
our nations, government spending grows, government intrusion
grows, privacy is nilch, and we are just numbers. Digital
computers, the internet, high tech is the lifestyle and doing
your own thing is more important than following the first line
of the law which says this:
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom
Our lifestyles reveal we do not "fear the Lord" or else we would
not do the things we do. We don't count on God to do anything
but put up with our sins. No matter what we do, we think it
doesn't matter. We have more churches than anywhere on earth,
better educated ministers and priests, yet we have more priests
that molest young people and more ill reputed actions in the
pulpit than anywhere. Our churches and laymen, ministers and
priests have stopped doing what they were to do and be. They
along with all believers are called not to be like society, but
come from them. They are called not to love the world or its
things but love the Lord more than anything. They are called to
be holy, for without this, no Man or Woman shall see the Lord.
We are to be salt and light, preservatives in an ungodly world.
Yet with all the churches, all the ministers, all the so called
christians, and all the so called morals we are to have, we have
made no difference in America the most prosperous power nation
on earth. What use to be a nation that really did call on God,
follow what he taught, and respect his Laws is Gone. We are now
a whorish democracy that allows anything to go. Right now we are
pushing this brand of Godlessness on others around the world. No
matter what they feel about it.
Psalms 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;
and he will shew them his covenant.
Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them
that fear him, and delivereth them.
The Lord God bless this nation. All the blessings will fall away
from us if we do not repent of our senseless wicked ways. The
church must repent. The nation must not harbor wickedness. The
alternative is that the "good the Lord intended to do to a
nation" would be repented of. Instead of Good from the Lord, you
will receive the alternative. Judgment and harshness, depravity
and barreness, justice for wickedness and forgiveness for
repentance.
What will you do?
