What if Jesus had decided to visit earth in today’s modern America? Would He
be anymore received and accepted than He was in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago?
What if He preached the same message of the kingdom of God and repentance of
sin that He brought to the world of that time?
What if He healed the sick and performed his miracles in the people of today
like He did for people of those days?
And His only requirement like it was then is that people would trust him to
do it and believe that He could do it.
What if He fed the hungry people that came to Him out of His love and
compassion for them?
Would He be treated any better or worse for His acts of mercy and kindness
to the people?
What if He did the miracles in today’s America that He did in those days?
Would He have the trust and confidence of the people more than He had in those
days among the people?
Well guess what, He is still here in the presence of His Holy spirit doing
those very same acts of love in the body of believers all around the world called
His church.
Not many are seeing because of the blindness that has come over the world. Satan
has covered the eyes and hearts of those whom he can blind folding them to the
truth.
Looking at the so called church today
many in America look and act more like the rest of the world than they do a disciple
of the Lord Jesus Christ. They have traded the image of God for the likeness of
the world.
However there are still a very few churches in America that prove themselves
to be His disciples and do reflect His image in their acts of compassion ,kindness and love for the sinner, the sick, hungry and
homeless.
And as they try to minister to their needs our own American government city
state and local are passing laws to stop and hinder them from fulfilling the
commandments of Jesus.
The true and faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ are being harassed
and persecuted in today’s America unlike any other time in our history.
Peoples love for Him has grown colder and their hearts have become more
hardened against Him than any other time since the founding of the Republic of
America as an independent nation.
So the answer is no Jesus would not be more received or accepted by the people
of modern day America than He was so long ago.
In fact the very mention of His name in public sparks hatred among many they
want to tear down any icon and stop any testimony of Him from being spoken in
public places.
They want to pass laws in federal, state and local governments to block the
few faithful disciples from carrying out His commandments of love among the
people.
It is a sad and awful state that America has become when faithful Christians
can no longer be represented in our government are forbidden to speak in public
are ordered to tear down symbols of the Christian faith that have stood for
many years in various places across America.
Our military branches trying to force Christian chaplains not to speak and
pray in the name of Jesus.
Our Christian businesses are being ordered to do those things that are
contrary to our faith and Christian beliefs.
The few remaining churches that are willing to reach out to the poor and
needy hungry people of our streets feed and clothe them and offer them hope in
the darkness that surrounds them.
Are being ordered by city officials to stop their acts kindness and love.
What about the day soon coming when we will all have to stand face to face
with Jesus individually and as a nation to be judged by Him for the deeds done
in our bodies.
Will He receive us and accept us as we are? Will it matter to Him the sins,
hatred, greed, violence, sexual depravation and violence that fills our country
and our lives?
Will He say come on in you good and faithful children enter into the joys I
have prepared for you?
Or will we hear the angry voice of a wrathful righteous God, saying depart
from my presence you wicked, ungrateful, hard hearted people unwilling to
repent to the place I have prepared for the Devil and his followers?
What you hear on that day will be entirely up to you who read this post the
words you hear will be determined by the decisions you make.
As it also will be for me.
I will continue each and every day to search my heart repent of sin if there
is any found there by His convicting Holy Spirit and prepare myself to stand clean
and upright in His glorious presence by His awesome power that lives in me.
America our time is almost up our day of grace is almost run out it is being
sensed and felt in the hearts of many throughout the world that we are facing
the end.
The sands in the hour glass has almost reached the bottom of the glass.
Our nation can only be spared the wrath and judgment of an angry Almighty
God of the universe if it is willing to repent and turn back from the direction
its now going.
Christians who are bold enough to
stand in public and speak the words of warning written in the Holy Bible
concerning the consequences of sin and moral decay that is creeping into most
every home in America and sweeping across our country like wildfire are fast
being labeled as crazies, enemies of government and offenders subject to arrest
for committing hate crimes.
To proclaim the word of God’s love and warning against wickedness and sin as
recorded in the Bible in the public arena has now become a crime to be punished
in America, because it might offend someone.
The cross of Christ that used to be the very symbol of Americans Christian
heritage and freedom standing in public places they now want to force removal.
The Ten Commandments laws of God encouraging right living in an individual
and in our society used to be displayed in public schools and government
institutions across America are now forbidden to be displayed.
But none of this can tear down the warning signs and stop signs that
Almighty God has erected offering in His love, mercy and grace to a lost and dying
America if only we will stop, look and listen before proceeding into total
point of no return. We must come back to the Christian foundation our
forefathers left us or die in our sins a wicked sinful people and nation.
But that repentance must start in our homes enter into our churches and
permeate our country individually one by one.
America it’s time to repent!!!
Matthew
7:21-23
New International Version (NIV)
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we
not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name
perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I
never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
