I'm reminded of the verse:

"Satan trembles when he sees

The weakest saint upon his knees..."

But it probably is the truth….

It does make sense, but I’m not sure if it’s a scripture….

Just probably a truth….

It rhymes in English; definitely not a Scripture; more of a saying in verse..........

James 2:

19 You believe that there is one God. You do well.

Even the demons believe—and tremble! 

His point being

20 But do you want to know, O foolish man,

that faith without works is dead?

It was then, it is now.

“the blood of the children on our hands from the 60 million abortion” I do not know exactly who you are including in that “on our hands” bit…but this blood you speak of…is not on my hands nor is it on the hands of any of the son’s of God…that is the work of the dragon…and his kingdom…frankly it is expected.

With respect to you sir. and It might be my fault here for not clarifying things. I see things a little different here. My statement of "On our hands bit..." Is my way aligning myself as those before me did in scripture.

Abraham saying to God, Would you kill those righteous with the evil?

Moses saying to God, do not destroy them for your reputation.

Jeremiah speaking to God saying, 4:22-24 My people are stupid . . .

Daniel saying to God, 9:5 I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, ((WE have sinned and done wrong. WE have been wicked and have rebelled; WE have turned away from your commands and Law . . . . . . "))

This intercession on our behalf to the God of creation for those around us seems to connect our prayers to the sins of the people. As Christ took on the sins of mankind so should we, (I believe), take on the sins of the people around us (For the purpose of confession) and asking for forgiveness. Didn't Job speak to God saying "If any of my children have sinned . . .?" and God praised him as a right standing man before the host of Heaven. 

How can we honestly lift up the fallen of our brothers if we do not see, understand, and relate even if it is a little bit with there sins. Admittedly if you do not have that sin in your life it is impossible for you to know, but with that said. we all know sin as a constant companion in our lives. You may not know the sin of Lust in a sexual way, but you might know Lust in food at 600 lobs, or drugs, drink, work acholic, gaining power and authority over people. It is ALL LUST of a veering degree. 

So it is in this light that I speak and in prayer, I confess.

So no…the “nation of America” will not go to God and ask forgiveness…it’s basis and foundation are corrupt and dark…formed over its lifetime by the god of this world…he is anti-christ in his mindset. Those behind the scenes “hidden in the darkness” that run this country...they are not in the Kingdom of God Charles.

A series of excellent posts explaining the truth regarding this subject matter at length, something I abstain from doing primarily because of an essential disconnect: my perspective is radically different than most. I grew tired of the inevitable conflict so I simply stopped trying, concerning myself only with work that the Lord sets before me to do. That's proven more fruitful however... it warms my heart to encounter a brother like you who strives to explain. You inspire me to try again one day, perhaps. Or, perhaps it isn't my place to do that?

I believe that your comment above strikes at the heart of the matter. There will never be a "national" repentance of any kind nor was there ever one for that matter, for at no time was the United States devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ. It's simply the truth. For all that we hear about foundational documents like the Constitution being "given to men" by the Lord Himself, the lack of His name in them all is rather telling, isn't it? Jesus Christ isn't mentioned once. What do we find? The Deistic lingo of The Enlightenment era which refers to a vague "Creator" one time in the Declaration of Independence... and that's it. It's purely philosophical, and yet it's conflated to be an indicator of faithfulness to Jesus Christ by some. 

No, it isn't. Muslims refer to their god as "creator," and pagans have their "creator" gods and such. It's nothing but a lie.

Hi @Tristen First and foremost it's a Godward matter, right?

I don't think the MAGA slogan necessarily has God in mind.

It's more about ideological conservatism than Christianity per se. However, I think the ideal of MAGA is encourages America to course-correct in a more generally "Godward" direction, and definitely away from the anti-Christ values espoused by the supposedly 'progressive' left - as has been chaperoned by the current American administration.
