Our Nation, Our World...

In Exodus 32, Aaron compromised as he stood in the priest’s office because he didn’t speak out against sin or stand for righteousness. He allowed that which was false to go unchallenged. In fact, he even allowed himself to participate in the sinful activities. However the prophet Elijah responded very differently to the evil activity of his day. In 1Kings 18, he boldly challenged the enemies of the Lord. The prophets of Baal at Mt. Carmel cried for their false god to answer by fire. They did all they could to promote a lie. They prophesied, shouted, dressed up their sacrifice, and cried, but there was no answer.

Today the secular world is dressing up a lie and society remains void of having any answers. Even in the church we prophesy, shout, and at times, dress it up a facade. We cry but still there is no fire of revival. It will take the same thing that it took for Elijah, a man who stood boldly and became a fearless voice, putting his own life on the line. The reason God answered Elijah was because of his great sacrifice. He was so on the cutting edge that He poured water on the altar during a time of great drought. Water was unimaginably scarce therefore it was an incredible sacrifice made for the purpose of upholding the torch of righteousness.

During this election cycle, we once again have the awesome opportunity to let our voice be heard. It cannot be someone else’s responsibility, but it is your responsibility. What are you willing to do this election to lay your life down and sacrifice; to let your voice be heard that God may send revival fires and bring righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost to America? Do your part in the nation. Begin by voting, praying for the nation and then boldly stand up for righteous issues when they are threatened. You are a voice, so allow your voice to be heard!

Who ever wins today's elections, we must as the scripture says, 1Timothy 2:1-2 "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, and all who are in authority." Let us at the end of the day, lay down our anger, malice and division and pray that God would send revival. He doesn't need the power of political powers to do that, just His people praying - 2Chronicles 7:14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land"

God Bless America and Send Us REVIVAL!
MT
