Hope for Change in America - Unite!

Numbers 14:16-18 (NASB):

"Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which He promised them by oath, therefore he slaughtered them in the wilderness. But now I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as you have declared, The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations."

I will be very honest, I am not sure what just happened today in the future of America and in the kingdom of heaven. I am without understanding, but I will trust in the Lord that what He has chosen and decided is His will, and is an answer to prayer. His ways are not our ways, and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. I continue to see the Lord working above a level that I can comprehend. I do know that the Lord would want me to pray for my new governmental authorities, that they may have wisdom and know Him intimately as their Savior and Lord. I encourage you to pray for our new leadership as well.

My hope and prayer has been that God would turn this country around, but I KNOW the Word says (as shown above) that although God is slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness, if someone continues to commit iniquity (sin), that person will be considered guilty. This is no different for a country such as ours. Not only will our country be found corporately guilty of our sin, He will visit our iniquity on the third and fourth generations. So, our sin as a country will affect the future relationships between our children and God, and the consequences for our sin will be visited on them to the third and fourth generations. When this country began to allow abortion in this country legally, legalized drug use, began cloning animals and humans, doing stem-cell research, and tampering with trying to find the "god-particle" of the universe to explain its evolution from nothing to something....we have begun to be prideful as a country, believing ourselves to be above God's will and commandments. We have sinned greatly as a country, and we will suffer the consequences of our sin AS A COUNTRY. Those of us who believe in God and want to follow His will and commandments can continue to pray for national repentance, but without it, we are deserving of God's righteous wrath. Only His divine mercy and grace will keep us from a much greater tragedy than we have ever seen in this country before. Please continue to pray!

You may be wondering, "Why now?" We have had a lot of unrighteous and abominable presidents, legislators, and judges before. Why get so passionate about THIS election? Well, what I can share with you is that God started showing me and many others a year ago that this election was probably the most important and momentus election in American history. It was not momentus because Obama is African-American, and not because it drew so many voters, but because the result of this election would be the great indicator and sign from God about where this country is headed spiritually. My heart sank when Obama was shown to be victorious simply because God has shown me that McCain was the option that would lead this nation down a smoother path to repentance and godliness. God chose differently, and is allowing us to face the consequences of our sin. He is going to allow this nation to be shaken, and in that, many WILL come to a knowledge of His salvation through Jesus Christ, but all will go through a very difficult time in world history. Even if there is so-called peace and reform, it will not last...it will simply be leading into greater deception of the enemy. Am I saying that Obama is the Anti-Christ? Not at this time. But he very well may be one moves the country toward a place where it will accept an Anti-Christ figure in the world political scene. He is full of hypocrisy and will not take a stand for anything. He is weak and not well-suited for the position of the American presidency, but he won the election by an overwhelming margin. He won the hearts of the people, many of which do not seek God's kingdom and righteousness, but rather believe their own way to be clean and their path to be right in their own eyes.

Proverbs 12:15 (NASB):

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel."

Proverbs 14:12 (NASB):

"There is a way that seems right to man, But its end is the way of death."

Proverbs 21:2 (NASB):

"Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts."

Proverbs 25:26 (NASB):

"Like a trampled spring and a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked."

Proverbs 29:27 (NASB):

"An unjust man is abominable to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is abominable to the wicked."

Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB):

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Psalm 37:37-39 (NASB):

"Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have posterity. But the transgressors will be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked will be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in time of trouble.

Whatever happens, Christians need to unite under this new government, and be in proper subjection to authority, and shine our Light in the midst of any darkness to glorify Christ! Please do now allow any discouragement or defeat to enter your hearts, but rather be joyful in any tribulation that we may face, because God is using it to work eternal glory in us! God is still great, and His goodness and mercy endures forever! If you feel that this election has not turned out the way you expected, I just encourage you to be hopeful, joyous and patient. Continue to be faithful in prayer, and edify the body of Christ in love, and share the message of hope through the gospel message of Jesus Christ! I love you all, and thank you for your faithfulness and for standing with me in prayer these past 24 hours. God wants unity in the body, and now is a time for us to SHINE!

Hopeful for America,

Sarah
