This country needs some Jesus

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 

The actions of people leading into and immediately following the 2016 Presidential election, the stuff that went on over the next 4 years and the events on January 6th, 2021 is proof positive this nation needs it some Jesus and bad...if the stuff that's went in this nation and the rest of the world in just that short of time ain't enough proof for ya that Satan exists and is running rampant in the world with his minions doing his bidding...I guess nothing short of a handshake would convince ya.

Ezra tells us in 2 Chronicles what we need to do.  Christians need to start acting like Christians or stop claiming to be one.  They're not talking like Christians by verbally attacking anyone that might disagree with...they publicly support the burning of buildings, cars and/or destroying private property belonging to incident people simply because it happens to be in the path of their demonic led rampage...they make idols out of criminals, politicians...they let the media, actors and professional athletes tell them what they should believe while making idols of them.  I'm just going to refer to them as group 1 and group 2, but I'll tell them I don't think Biden is the Antichrist and Trump ain't the second coming of Jesus Christ, as well Trump ain't the Antichrist and Biden isn't the second coming of Jesus Christ.  People need to take a good long hard look in the mirror and look beyond the mere reflection of their faces and stare deep within their souls and hearts.  We desperately need to remember the answer Jesus gave the lawyer in...  

Matthew 22:37–39 when he asked  which of the commandments was the greatest, He could have chosen any of the many commandments from the Old Testament, from the law of Moses, or from the Ten Commandments. Instead, He summarized all of the commandments in these two:

37 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 “This is the first and great commandment.

39 “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”

Christians and the church...as it is in Colossians 1:18...need to come together and act according the word of God as proclaimed in the bible.  A revolution needs to take place, not a revolution to overthrow the government but an Evangelistic revolution to grow the Kingdom of God. We are soldiers in the Lord's army.  

"and he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent."
