Lord, I have asked myself this question, “What will it take to unite this country?” America has had divisions in the past and overcame them. The civil war, the 60’s, and the Vietnam war are just a few, but today it is different; for there is a great hatred in our land.
So what will it take to unite our country? Your word tells us the answer in Luke 1:17 that men need to turn their hearts back to their wives and children; to unite their family. And, to show that rebellion will not be tolerated – with consequences for bad choices. We need to see the wisdom of the righteous at work – so that people will see the good it brings and accept the wisdom of the godly. Finally, God’s people need to be prepared for the return of the Lord, and to make ready a people prepared for Him. We plan our lives as though You might not come in our life time; but we live each day as though this is the day of Your coming!
Son, I am about to do something you wouldn’t believe even if My prophets told you about it. Be encouraged and continue in the faith. Remind My children that in the coming days they will suffer many hardships, but if they will listen – they will hear a small voice behind them saying, “This is the way you should go.” Don’t be afraid to feed an enemy and give your enemies water to drink. Let them see Me through you. Remember that I’m testing your love for Me. I will deliver You at just the right time!
People today have rejected Me and judged themselves unworthy of My eternal life. These people are stubborn, and refuse to pay attention to My Voice and My Word through My messengers.. They tell My children, “Stop telling us what you say is right. We don’t want to hear anymore gloom and doom. Get off that narrow path of thinking! We don’t want to hear any more about this Holy One you speak of.” These fools believe their own lies! There is no hope for fools who think they are wise and capable of leading others, even a nation.
Listen very carefully to their smooth words today, which only hide their wicked hearts. People cover their hatred with pleasant words, and pretend to be kind, but you must not be fooled; don’t believe one word that comes from their mouths. For, I see that their hearts are full of evil, and I will expose their wrongdoing in public. Soon they will recognize My holiness. They will stand in awe of the Holy One they have despised. But, if they will turn to Me with faith in My Word they will be saved and be at rest in what I have done for them. My peace I will give them.
Son, take confidence in My Word and stay calm in all situations holding to the promise I have given you and your family. Hold on to it, for this will be your strength in the days ahead!
