| Anger, frustration, uncertainty, and fear are just a few of the words that describes America’s emotional state today. It is a fragile condition and one in which the future of the country is being determined. The nation is aimlessly drifting without a sense of direction. Problems are insurmountable but denied as such by far too many people. There are no concrete answers offered, but only personal opinions. Solutions are as elusive as people trying to hold air in the palm of their hand. How can the nation survive if Americans are turning on one another? How can people look to their leaders when those elected live in self-made bubbles and are completely out of touch with reality? An elitist attitude is a recipe for disaster and the invasion of the nation’s capital on January 6, 2021 was a wake-up call not recognized as only the beginning of a coming revolution. Washington has become an enemy of the people; people have become enemies of one another and the nations enemies from abroad are watching very closely. Not only do most of today’s politicians abuse the power of their office, but the American people allow the abuse. Is it any wonder the nation is held hostage and at the mercy of Washington? A disfigured oppressive demonic presence hangs over the country and is the reason why Washington is a cesspool of corruption. Ephesians 6:12- “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Why Answers Are Elusive This is a decisive and critical moment for the country. Wisdom is of paramount importance but because the nation’s moral compass is spinning out of control, the lack of required knowledge, astute insight and sound judgment is a testimony of the nation’s spiritual bankruptcy. Isaiah 28:7- “…they err in vision; they stumble in judgments.” The American people and the nation’s leaders could not be more wrong in how the future is viewed. There is a complete lack of clarity in how to prevent problems. The nation blunders its way through difficulties due to its deadly mistakes because America insists on learning the hard way. Where are the individuals who have a clear and intensely vivid picture of what the nation needs to do in order to survive? Where are the individuals who can explain what is going to happen in the future if America does not change course? There are such people, but they are not acknowledged and recognized because the answers they give are not what people want to hear. Isaiah 30:9-10- “This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord. Verse 10- Which say to the seers (those who foresee and predict the future), see not; and to the prophets (those who foretell future events based on what the bible says will take place). Prophecy not unto us right things (the truth), speak unto us smooth things (say reassuring words) prophesy deceits (lies).” Are the Darkest Days Ahead? President Biden has stated a number of times that “the darkest days are ahead” for the country. Although it is said in reference to Covid-19, the reality of what the Biden administration has planned for the nation is the true definition of the darkness that is going to overtake the country. A time is coming soon when America will be rescued and freed from the political rancor, hate and division. Tragically, the darkest days in the history of the country will first take hold before the American people and leaders in Washington come to see that the only true answers to the nation’s problems are spiritual not physical. Luke 21:28- “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your hands; for your redemption (true freedom from the consequences for disobedience to God) draws near.” |
