I found this posted on the blog of the son of a famous Bible Prophecy teacher and thought it was interesting and very much true.

Also did you guys know that yesterday was declared "National Day Of Prayer??". I didn't see but a couple of post about it and I didn't even hear it mentioned in the mainstream media either I just happened upon a website that had a little banner on the side of it that said "May 1, 2008 National Day Of Prayer". With everything going on in America right now there is no more urgent time to call out to god in prayer but yet it just kinda passed most people by without a notice. :blink:

In our world today we are living in truly "Perilous Times". The men and women of today, both young and old, walk around as if they are "10 Feet Tall and Bullet Proof"! We see them in our school's, the workplace, the doctor's office, the store, the gas station and yes even in the Church!

Today I sit down to write about something that has been troubling me for a long time. In II Timothy 3:1-7 we see the truth about this plague that is quite literally infecting Christianity and the Church of today.

II Timothy 3:1-7 says:

I didn't know yesterday was the national day of prayer, but I did pray yesterday, as I do most days.

"What a sad, sad truth. We truly do live in a World of NO Fear. The real question is Christian, what are "WE" doing to change this? The answer is... NOTHING!"

As far as absolute statements & overgeneralizations, there are millions who may fear God in the U.S. Are there are millions who don't. I don't have any statistics, but I'm pretty sure a 0% wouldn't be in a survey.

There are some working (and volunteering) quite hard to try to change people's hearts. To deny this would be to deny truth.

Thanks.

I totally agree. I believe most Americans do, indeed, fear God. Many that I know believe we are being judged right now and slammed by God to get us to change our ways. I agree with that school of thought too. :laugh:

I do not fear god. He has shown me nothing for which to fear him . I do not love god. He has shown me nothing for which to love him. I do not hate god. He has shown me nothing for which to hate him. I do not know god. He has shown me nothing.

Now take this and tell it to Him.

I don't know about 'thesorgo', but I HAVE taken that statement (not exact but a similar one) to him and still got nothing.

What is next?

This was during a time in my life when I was questioning my Christian beliefs. I started evaluating them, and a few months after I came to a split in the road... I wanted to believe in God but came to the conclusion that the evidence for him (or any other gods) was lacking. So, I thought I would try to go straight to the source (God himself) and I got nothing.

There are still many Americans that have a fear of God, so I can't agree with the general statement that America has no fear of God. I think more would be better than less, but certainly there is fear of God yet among us.

As for the "I got nothing" posts, you get from the Lord according to the measure that you measure out. If a scream into the night sky is the measure of your efforts, you might not expect much. If you fast and pray for two weeks, making interaction with God priority number one, even over food and comfort, you will indeed hear from Him. However, if you don't expect to hear from Him, you will likely receive what you are believing for.

The scripture says that God does not say to seak Him in vain, in other words, if you seak Him, He will indeed reveal Himself to you.

Picture this....

You're minding your own business.....the phone rings....you pick it up and someone on the other end says this...

"I'm not afraid of you".

"I don't love you".

"I don't hate you".

"I don't know you".

What would your reaction be to this person?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you truly want to know who God is, He will show you. But you have to make an honest effort. You can't expect Him to prove His existance to you if you don't believe in Him. It doesn't work that way.

You have to have faith. You have to believe in your heart that God is who He says He is.

That's probably one of the hardest things to do.....believing in something you cannot see. But if you truly and honestly have a desire to know Him.....He will give a reason to believe.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
