Can America be saved? Or is it too late?











 Jeremiah 18:8  (KJV)  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.

Can a nation such as America who has turned their back to God and rejected His laws, can its cities, its states, its citizens, its families that have strayed so far from God’s moral standards come back to God and be spared God’s pronounced wrath upon the ungodly and the wicked?

The answer is yes. But then the question becomes will America do what it will take to save it?
The first step back to God must be made by His called messengers.

The people of God, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ must return to living by and proclaiming the full word of God, which includes both God’s blessings and His warning of judgment and wrath.
I know that there are living in America a few faithful pastors, evangelists and church members that are living by the commandments of God obeying the voice of God as He directs their lives.

But all one has to do is look around at all the pastors, Evangelists and teachers heading the multitudes of churches in this country to see that there is some repenting needing to be done among them.
In most of them the word repent of sin is hardly mentioned anymore, because they have become so used to sinning they think God now condones it.

Things that once were called sin and wickedness and the church warned people not to do them is now accepted as ok and most do them without any feeling of guilt.
It seems that the fear of God has left most preachers and Christian churches in today’s world.
They don’t see any need to preach repentance and the wrath of God upon those who don’t.
Our society has become so comfortable in living their sins, and not many messengers of God are preaching the warning of sins terrible cost.

Revival fires must be started in the church houses of America’s Christians and it must spread into the streets, cities and states across all America.
It must be the roaring consuming fire of the Holy Spirit in every true and faithful Christian going out to touch every individual, every family and every home with the message of God’s love and the warning of His soon coming judgment upon all sin and His wrath poured out upon all who refuse to repent.

Three young men  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, of a time long ago were denied by the king’s law and forbidden to worship and pray to the Lord God of their creation whom they served daily.
They chose to accept the consequences of their refusal to obey the king’s law and was thrown into a burning hot furnace of fire.
But by the grace of God they endured their torturous ordeal and walked out of that hot furnace with not even the smell of smoke on their clothing.
And by the faithfulness of these young men choosing to serve Almighty God, instead of the king’s handmade god.

They started revival fires that spread throughout Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom changed the hearts and lives of the people and saved a rebellious, sinful, wicked nation. Read Daniel 3:16-28 (KJV)

In generations past God called and sent his messenger with his message of warning to the people in the great city of Nineveh.
But Jonah, turned his back to God and ran from the task that God gave him to do.
Because of the merciful, loving God that He is, He gave Jonah a second chance to complete his task. 

Jonah 3  (NIV)  Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:  “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Look what happened when Jonah came back to God and finished his mission.

 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:
“By the decree of the king and his nobles:

Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”

 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

It is not too late for America’s salvation and our God is known for miracles among his people.
But it will not happen until the people of God who have not already done it, do this one thing that will start the brush fires burning in the hearts of America’s Christian homes, and church houses.

2 Chronicles 7:14  (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Peter 3:9  (KJV)  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
