Are these the perilous times the Apostle Paul wrote of to Timothy? Are these the times that try men's souls? Are these the latter days spoken of by Christ Himself in Scripture? Is the fact that we have had five times the average number of tornado's in America this month a sign of the times? Are the issues of storms, drought, floods, fires and earthquakes the result of the hand of God being pulled back because as a Nation we have denied God and His Truth for so long?
Perhaps we could answer "yes" to each these questions and give Scriptural references for each. Perhaps we could say "maybe" and try to reason it out in our heads. Or, perhaps we could say "no" and deny that it is anything more than a current pattern based on jet streams or man-made problems. I'm sure one could find those who would agree on any of the three answers posed above.
But, what is my heart, the place where Holy Spirit dwells telling me? It seems to me that far too many are hiding their heads in the sand and pretending everything is alright, and is going to be alright if we just leave everything alone. I say we have left it alone for far too long! Someone once said "anything left to itself goes to the devil". It appears to me that much of America's former blessings have waned and in their place curses (Biblical absence blessings) because warnings of the few actually watching went unheeded. We, the Body of Christ, remained to silent when Bibles, prayers and Biblical statements were removed from our Schools and public places. We were silent for the most part when abortion was declared law, unconstitutionally by the Court. On we could go, but you get the picture I'm sure.
What shall we then do? The Apostle Paul said that we evil rears up, it is time to stand. It is time we who believe in God and in the righteous foundation of this great Nation take a stand. Stand up and let truth arise in the streets - the spheres where we have influence. That would include our families, our neighborhoods, our places of work, recreation and business. We must stand strong with the Truth of God and the truth of our Founding Fathers in our Constitution which is based upon the principles of Scripture. Let the voice of the Lord resound. Let Truth arise. Stand, stand strong in the power of His Might. Stand with righteous men and women. Stand for righteous justice. We, the people of God must take our place in Him, on this earth and allow His Kingdom to manifest here as in Heaven.
