This is a Word from God for America (Date: 2/7/14)

(Note: These are not my words. God told me to write this down. Please read my comment at the very end and seek God. Thank you.).

This is a Word from God for America (Date: 2/7/14)

“The people of this land is a very wicked people, more so than any other nation in the earth. They are very proud and full of evil. They are full of evil and sorcery and fornication and adultery. With their mouths they speak haughty and arrogant things and they have not known the way of truth. They are a proud and rebellious nation who have scorned the counsel of the Lord and have disregarded My warnings. I have called out to them to repent and they have not listened to Me.

They are a den of vipers who hiss and bite and spread venom. To the nations that hear the sound of America’s judgment, and the fall of the mighty tree, I implore you to consider yourselves that you do not rebel against Me for I do not take rebellion lightly. I shall swiftly judge the proud and haughty of you who mock Me and laugh at My words for I am a righteous God who judges and avenges the death of His servants.

I do not take lightly your arrogant words nor your corrupt doings for you have said you shall never fall, but you shall indeed see My hand of judgment and My hammer which shall smash this wicked and defiled nation. 

America, I am your Maker, I am your Creator, and I am your Judge. You have foolishly hardened your hearts against Me. You have feasted and drunk yourselves to shame. You have partied and caroused and you have enjoyed the pleasures of sin, but you shall not enjoy them anymore for you shall surely perish. For you shall reap what you have sown. You have sown to your flesh and of your flesh you shall reap corruption.

America, I called out to you for many decades and years and I have sent many to warn you, but you have not listened. I have called out to you to repent from your sins and from your wicked doings, but you have rejected my call and have hardened your hearts against Me. Why have you done this? Why have you hated My counsel? Why have you scorned Me, your Creator?

Your sin is so pleasant to you and your wicked doings are so tasteful to you that you would not hear or repent. You have rebelled against Me. If you would have turned to Me I would have forgiven you and purged you of your sins by My Son’s blood, but you have rejected Me.

You have rejected your Fountain, the Source of your life, and because you have rejected your Source of life, you shall have death. I shall cut you off from Me. America is a tree and I shall prune this tree. I shall lop off every branch and I shall rip the tree from the ground and remove its roots. America was a great tree, soaring high above its neighbors but it shall be cast down into Hell and all its lovers with it.

America, you have proverbially stoned the prophets and cast them forth as dung. You have cast My holy laws, the Ten Commandments, away from you and have trampled them underfoot. You have believed that your good works would outweigh your bad works, but you are deceived. Jesus Christ died to pay for your sins if only you would believe on Him and repent.

Because you have not repented, but have cast aside My laws and trampled on them, I shall cast you aside and you shall perish in Hell and remain there forever.

The Door to the gentiles is nearly shut. Come in before it is too late. Come to Me and be saved all you ends of the earth. When I shut the Door, it shall be too late. Then, you shall regret your decision not to come to Me.

I, the LORD your God, have spoken.”

PLEASE READ



God had me write this down. It is a message of repentance and a warning of judgment if people will not repent and seek God. (I tested this with the test of the spirits found in 1 John 4:1-4).

God loves us so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and shed His precious blood to pay for all of these sins. If you repent (turn away) from your sins (Acts 3:19), and believe and confess aloud that Christ has done this for you (Romans 10:9-10), and have made Him your Lord and Savior (again Romans 10:9-10) you are saved. Now seek God with all your heart. Seek to know Him and you will (Jeremiah 29:13).

John 17:3 says:  "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

The Righteous Judgment of an Ungodly Nation (The Judgment of America)


Dear Reader, please watch this video before you read the article. California is experiencing its worst drought in centuries. This is not an ad.




                The Righteous Judgment of an Ungodly Nation

When a nation has a Christian heritage and has been established on moral principles, if it slides away from God (and thus from the moral principles), it will be judged by God according to the Bible in Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 13, and Genesis 19.

In Deuteronomy 28, God—through Moses—is instructing the children of Israel to obey Him and not serve idols (or false gods). He tells them about the blessings He will bestow on those who obey Him.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 says:

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.”

Verses 1-13 speak of all the ways God would bless those who obey God.  Verse 11-13 says (bold added for emphasis):


America is following the corrupt Roman Empire that reveled in sin
"11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”

Are we obeying God? Do we love to serve God with our time? Do we want to know God’s name by having an intimate relationship with Him? (This is not an ad: Click here to find out how to get saved from sin.). Or, do we have idols in our lives? These are serious questions to consider. God has not changed and God cannot change (Hebrews 13:8,  James 1:17).

James 1:17 says:

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

There is no variableness with God, the Father of lights. He does not change. Theft is still theft. Adultery is still adultery. In fact, Jesus made it clear that adultery is not just taking another man’s wife, but looking at a woman with lust in one’s heart. Jesus did not lower his standards. He raised them to show that there is no way we can fulfil the law.

James 2:10 says:
 ”For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”

Jesus fulfilled the law and died on the cross in our place. And, because we still have a sinful nature, we are still able to sin and we are still able to rebel against God and reject Jesus Christ, even after we have gotten saved (see Hebrews 3).

If we reject God, we are hardening our hearts. Jesus warned Christians in Revelation chapters 2 through 3.

Revelation 3:5 says:

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

This statement was made to Christians. God will not blot an overcomer’s name out of the book of life. And, in many places in the Gospel accounts, Jesus warned his disciples and other followers that sin could lead them into Hell.

In the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5:28-30, Jesus told his disciples:

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

God takes sin very seriously. Jesus is using a metaphor of cutting off ones hand or plucking out one’s eye to show you that you need to get rid of things in your life that lead you to sin. Why? Because, you could harden your heart through the deceitfulness of sin (see Hebrews chapter 3 and verse 13).

Going back to Deuteronomy 28, let’s look at what God says about rebellion, disobedience, and idolatry.

God, through Moses, told the children of Israel these words in Deuteronomy 28:14-15:

14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

Because of its rebellion against God, promotion of evil, murder of babies, self-worship, pride, idolatry, witchcraft, and other sins, ancient Caananites in the land of Israel were judged. Because of similar sins ancient Rome was judged. And, for the past several decades, the United States has been following the trend of willful sin and promotion of sin. And, according to the Bible, it shall also be destroyed as a consequence of its many sins.

God has certain judgments, in Deuteronomy 28, which He said would happen to those who rebel against Him.

Some of these curses are happening today. Deuteronomy 28:18 includes three curses:

1.    Verse 18: “Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body…” 
2.    Verse 18: “…and the fruit of thy land,…”
3.    Verse 18: “…the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.”
