The Light is Quickly Fading
 
How many times have you watched the sun set? Ever notice how rapid the decline of the sun once the bottom of the orb touches the horizon? I love to sit on a beach at sun-set to watch the sun as it slips very quickly below the horizon. Even after the sun sinks beneath the horizon, there is still some light for awhile as the horns of illumination rises up above the horizon.

I would ask all who know how to pray, to pray for our nation. The sunlight of freedom is sinking fast. Unless there be a divine act, to still the sun and to reverse it trek, we will soon be enslaved, as a nation, into total darkness, darkness worse than Stalin's Russia of the 1930s and 40s, worse than Chairman Mao Tse Tung's China of 1950s and 1960s. Life in Cambodia during the time of the Killing Fields can only compare for all who hold freedom dear and especially all who claim to be Christians.

The only preserving power is the power of the Spirit found in the church; a church that is alive and awake. Alas! Alas! The church in general has been deceived and rocked to sleep by blind leaders of the blind deceiving and being deceived who would rather have their ears tickled and who are gratified by ear tickling preaching rather than the clarion prophetic call from ecclesiastical iniquity.

Thanks to them, America, the land born of prayer, tears, blood, and righteousness, 'neath the mighty outstretched hand of God, is almost lost forever...yes, thanks to them. The voice of the Prophets, if there are any left, would not be welcome in the pulpits of this lusty prayerless age of instant gratification of self-loving leaders. They have been fairly well amputated from the body of Christ by fellowship loving, self-aggrandizing, deceiving leaders who themselves would not know how to recognize an Elijah or would they want to endure the presence of such a peculiar man of God. Don't expect to see one in the modern church's pulpit. They are not there. They are gone...maybe forever.

I beg all of you that have any power of prayer left in you at all...to pray. Call on your churches to pray. Call on your friends and neighbors to pray. Pray for this nation. Europe is already gone. There is no turning back for her. But there is still a little light left here. It is not too late for it to rise again, even from the Western horizon to shine again upon the land of the free. I have seen the sun ready to sink beneath the horizon of the distant sea...and I stood upon the sand of the sea.

In this pleasure mad, fellowship loving, itching ear church world, it would be impossible for you to comprehend the horrors that are soon to befall us all unless Jehovah-Sabaoth comes with his army to roll back the night that is soon to come. It would be impossible to imagine those pending horrors that are soon to come...soon to come. But, if God totally turns his back on us as a nation, seeing nothing worth salvaging, the zealots will come to try to save her, but like the zealots of Jerusalem during the time of Josephus as told by him, they will give their patriotic lives in death, but to no avail. You cannot imagine the horror that is upon us.

If you know anyone that can pray, call upon them to pray for our nation.

Bro Strange,

While I in what you are writing, I do not believe it can be turned around (as much as I would like it to believe me) I believe that we can drive the darkness back for a time, but God's judgement is coming not just for America, but for the whole world.

I too am praying to see, to be a part of what God would like to do in this end time hour!

God is good & he is coming soon.

I am heading to prayer tonight!:canada :usa

Too much truth for one post. Europe is godless. America is close behind her.

There is an underlying hatred for everything Christian in our land.

Is it a hatred for Christian Principle- or simply hatred of authority?

While the question isn't directed at me, my thought is Both!

Then weep if not for yourselves, weep for your children.

Things definetly seem to be degrading in this world.


In some ways things are better now than in the past. The Salem Witch Trials are one example.
