Taking Back This Nation For God!
.
Part 2:
“If My People…!”
To read Part 1, click here…“March 28th (Taking Back This Nation For God!)”
.
.
.
.
.
“If My people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.”
2nd Chronicles 7:14
.
.
.
.
.
This above popular verse from Isaiah is currently being used in attempt to hopefully regain God’s blessing for this nation… 
.
And in many yards around this nation are signs which cite this verse, in hopes of reminding people of their Christian heritage, and the importance of seeking for a return of God’s blessing on this promiscuous, hedonistic, and declining nation.

PRAYERS & PROTESTS
.
In addition, there have been various prayer vigils and protest marches concerned with the moral and spiritual decline of this sad society.
.
Yes, the call has gone out to return to God, in hopes that this great country might be spared from the obvious decay and ultimate destruction which is almost complete.

2ND CHRONICLES 7:14, NO SMALL TASK
.
But if one looks closely at this popular verse from 2nd Chronicles, it will be discovered that mere prayer vigils and protest marches are not enough to cause the Lord to bless this land.
.
What we need to really focus on in this popular verse are the words…
“If My people, who are called by My name,
shall humble themselves and pray,
and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways…”
2nd Chronicles 7:14
.
Yes, in this above verse lies the very reason why God’s judgments are now falling on this country.
.
.
.
.
.
.
FORSAKING ALL, TOO MUCH FOR MOST
.
Most people have no intention of fulfilling this above verse, because it would mean that they must, “go and sell that thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven, and come and follow Me!”
.
These are the words spoken by Jesus to the rich young ruler in Matthew 9:16-26.
.
And just as that affluent young man turned away in sadness because of his many possessions and abilities, so too, most citizens have no intention of giving up all, to follow Jesus.

FORSAKING ALL, UNACCEPTABLE!
.
Listen to Jesus once again…“whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be My disciple!”
.
Wow! What an indictment! “You mean that I must give up everything, in order to become Jesus’ disciple? Well forget that, buddy!”

OUR CHERISHED IDOLS ARE MANY!
.
You see, we who live in this cornucopian super-society have our various little idols that we cling to and are unwilling to give up.
.
For some it may be their ambitious career. For others it may be their sports and hobbies. For still others, it may be our entertainment via television, radio, etc..
.
Yes, there are countless indulgences, which today’s churchgoers might be unwilling to part with, that they may truly become a disciple of Jesus…

CHOOSE ONE WORLD, BUT NOT BOTH!
.
Listen to Jesus…
“No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Matthew 6:24
.
The problem is that Satan, “the god of this world”, has created this modern society with the express purpose of making it a really fun and interesting place.
.
.
.
.
.
JESUS CONDEMNED OUR WORLD
.
And so, the fact is, that most who call themselves Christians would absolutely hate 2nd Chronicles 7:14, if they really fully understood just all that it entails!
.
They might just take their 2nd Chronicles sign and toss it into the garbage!
.
After all, isn’t that why we put Jesus on the Cross?

REVIVAL BEGINS AT HOME!
.
And so, for those who wish to crusade against the many atrocities in the world, the very first place to begin one’s crusade is right here in my own heart!
.
Yes, the Bible pronounces the human heart as being, “desperately wicked and deceitful above all things!” Jeremiah 17:9
.
.
.
.
A PRIVATE AND QUIET PRIESTHOOD
.
Oh no, God doesn’t necessarily want us to quit our jobs and sell all our belongings, to become traveling evangelists, like Paul and the others.
.
No, but we can pursue our devotion and service to God with the same wholehearted dedication and enthusiasm that those original disciples pursued!
.
And whether hard at work, or out in nature, or even at home enjoying my family, I can use every moment in joyful consecration of my heart, and silent prayer for the salvation of souls!

And those who truly do forsake this present world to follow Jesus will discover the joy of the Lord, just as it is written…
.
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in Thy presence is fulness of joy;
at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16:11

THE NARROW WAY: THE PILGRIM’S PATHWAY
.

.
.
LOCATION
.
This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end.
.
And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left).
.
But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.
.
This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).
.
While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.
.
This sketch shows the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth.
.
(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”.)
