While reading Jeremiah 2 I saw how America was like Israel.
America was called by GOD to be a nation when it was not a nation. It was not
a nation but a loose gathering of believers and non-believers who all wanted
freedom. The non-believers wanted freedom from oppressive government
regulations and the believers wanted freedom to worship GOD as they believed He wanted
them to.
Israel did not follow GOD’s instructions on taking the land of promise and
the founders of America wanted freedom so bad that they allowed freedom of
anything and everything.
As in Israel this resulted in the land being filled with sin
and rebellion to GOD. As
Israel could not cleanse the land neither can the Church cleanse America. Only
GOD through the Church can
convert or remove those opposed to Him.
The Church like Israel is to present and represent GOD’s love and righteousness in
humility with prayer and fasting. To allow His Holy Spirit to restore America
to its GOD given purpose
of being light and salt to the world.
America is not called by GOD to be a super power, economically, militarily, or
politically. America is called to be a beacon of light in a world of darkness,
to shine GOD’s love on
the lost and rejected and His righteousness and salvation on sin. America is
called to bring flavor (salt) to religious mumbo jumbo and living water to a
parched world. To be a city on a hill shining the Light of GOD’s Kingdom into the kingdom
of darkness. When America is doing this it will be a world super power.
