This site is shining the light into darkness. Overcoming ignorance and deception with knowledge of truth. Even God's own people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge. He commanded, "...study to show yourselves approved..." yet who knows the Book today like they ought? Many think it is sufficient to be somewhat familiar with the main ideas, and even then mis-understand because they know not the details that finely divides false love from true love. From history to math, from economics to church, this site covers it. Letting the light shine. Hope you'll help. If God were to bless America, what would He do? What would be His plan? How would He go about it? His sovereignty would be revealed how? One thing in His goodness would be to lead her to Repentance. Godly repentance that need not be repeated. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. It is through His mercy that we are given the gift of divine repentance. Repentance would indicate the shining of the light of God on the situation. It is the Holy Spirit convincing us of the truth and meaning of His law whereby we are led like babes by the hand to godly repentance. It is written that if His people will turn from their wicked ways and seek the Lord, then He will be found of them and come and bless the land. You have to remember a time when the Jews sought the Lord for twenty years asking for blessings. They couldn't see what was wrong. They were blinded by their idols which they held up while they were calling out for God's blessing. Until the prophet of God came along and shined the light on their sins, not much good happened. See Ezekiel 4:4 and 1st Samuel 7:2 the story about the golden emerods and the ark of the Lord. For twenty years Israel lamented after the Lord; but they were blinded by their own idols. That this can happen is clarified in Ezekiel 4:4 . Similar to this country today. It took a strong prophet, Samuel , to take the blinders off their eyes and mind and understanding so they could recognize the obvious truth of strange gods and Ashtaroth among them. Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth and served the Lord only. Their idols were staring them in the face while they thought they were lamenting after God, (ie saying things like , "O God, if thou would only bless us. We love you God, and we seek your face." but all those words were spoken while they had idols in their market place.) How strong a historical precedent do you need to see ? The people didn't reach where they wanted with the LORD until after they removed the idols from the land. Thus the story is , how shall God bless a land? By telling them to remove the idols, return unto the Lord and Him alone, and prepare their hearts unto the Lord, and serve Him only. And He will deliver you. 1Samuel 7:4
Shine forth the light of God according to His Holy word. Let the light overcome the darkeness. Uncover the hidden deceptions and make clear the way of truth and righteousness. Restore the old paths. Reveal again the former ways that led to days of glory.
Repentance from what?
The Founding Fathers of this nation depended upon the sovereignty of God for safety and defence. Such understandings are clear from the Declaration of Independence. Yet by 1808 an old preacher wrote to his friend, saying the nation in so short a time of prosperity and growth had turned from following God to instead following profits. The old preacher wrote words to the effect that the country had much turned to dollar god instead of Almighty God. For that story order the book Our Sacred Honor, a collection of original letters and documents from the revolutionary time. And things have continued the same direction since.
