Jude 7 "In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
My Lord, Savior, and beloved Jesus who saved me and keeps me forever, Amen! I glorify Your holy name today. You alone are worthy of praise, honor, majesty, and glory. Have mercy on America and revive Your church.
As I read this verse today, I see a very solemn warning to Your church and to America. Lord, we have fallen so far from our Founding Father's dreams for this great nation. You blessed us then because they held You in great esteem and used Your Word as a template for our government and laws. We were the missionaries to the rest of the world because we had religious freedom to follow You.
Since then, Lord, in less than 250 years, we have come to a point in our history when all other forms of religion are smiled upon and encouraged while Christianity is looked upon with derision. This is all in the name of "tolerance"; tolerance for all kinds of sin, but no tolerance for those who call it what it is. That is now considered "hate speech". Our Constitution has been ignored, misinterpreted, and manipulated by those who do not know, or do not believe, the penalties that await them and us for these actions. In some cases, Christians have allowed "Christianity" to become so watered down, tolerant, and compromised, that people are turning to Islam because of the strict moral codes they purport. Satan is our adversary for certain. He does not care what we believe as long as we don't believe You.
Lord, we need to be a repentant nation. Like the twin cities mentioned in this verse, sexual immorality abounds in America: pedophilia, pornography, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, and co-habitation are common place and in some cases, same sex marriages are being made lawful. Your institution of the "one man-one woman for life family" is being sacrificed on the altar of selfish base desires. These should be held in derision...not You and Your Word.
Lord, You told the Israelites that if Your people who were called by Your name would humble themselves and pray, You would hear from heaven and would heal their land. Since we are Your bride, I believe this is true for Your Church as well. Lord, we need serious Christians to repent and pray for revival . Please hear us, Lord, and heal our beloved America. It is not going to come through politics, but through You and Your church!
