Taking Back This Nation For God!

Part 9:

“How To Stop the Growing Lawlessness in the Land”

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell,

and all the nations that forget God”

Psalm 9:17

.

Another horrific tragedy occurred yesterday. And today, the national media is greatly concerned about how similar tragedies might be prevented in the future.

.

But sadly, the focus was on the ways that humans can solve our own problems, by our own strength, and with our own intellect: more security, more laws, more restrictions, more money, etc…

EVIL SPIRITS THE TRUE PROBLEM

.

But if only we would stop and listen to the Voice which rules over the whole universe, we might discover the only true Way of forever solving our increasing lawlessness in the land, and around the world!

.

The Bible reveals that Mankind’s problems are not due to humans. No, instead the Bible reveals the following…

“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.”

Ephesians 6:12

.

Here is revealed the true source of the problems which are currently plaguing Mankind: the “rulers of the darkness of this world…spiritual wickedness in high places”.

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God”

Psalm 9:17

.

The Bible is replete with true historical accounts regarding God’s protection of those societies which obeyed Him, and His lack of protection for the societies which went headlong after wickedness.

.

And let’s face it! The western societies, which once enthusiastically embraced the Christian Reformation, have long ago distanced themselves from the Gospel. And these societies are now suffering the recompense from their turning away from God. God is allowing these nations to fight their own battles, because they refuse to call on Him for help.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!…that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms…that opened not the house of his prisoners?”

Isaiah 14:12, 17

.

It’s not more guns, or less guns, or more police, or more soldiers, or more money, or more locks, or more walls, or more laws, or less laws, or more education, or whatever else we think we need to protect ourselves from our enemies.

.

The Bible reveals that Satan has now been given the title, “the god of this world” (2nd Corinthians 4:4). And as such, his spirit resides in the lives of the children of men, causing them to do his bidding.

.

Fallen humanity have become the prisoners of Satan.

NINEVEH TURNED TO GOD

.

But in spite of this, we often read in Scripture of how God came to the rescue of any society, when that society truly turned back in genuine sorrow for sin.

.

The tiny Book of Jonah is just one example of the Lord’s mercy on a heathen nation which truly repented and sought the Lord’s mercy.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, the Good News is, that God will protect any individual who truly becomes a follower of Jesus.

.

Oh yes, many true Christians became martyrs, in centuries past, and even today in other nations which are hostile to the Bible.

.

But God’s protection and His blessings are poured out on each one of His genuine followers with every new day, until the day arrives in which God removes them into His everlasting Promised Land, the Paradise to come!

“GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES”

2nd Peter 1:4

.

This devotional will end with this following great and precious promise for God’s protection…

“He shall cover thee with His feathers,

and under His wings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy right hand;

but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD,

which is my Refuge,

even the most High, thy habitation;”

Psalm 91:4-9

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid.

.

Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.

.

These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.

Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (Broad Way to Hell). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.

The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group. Actually, these Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)
