Deu 8:19 And it shall be if you do at all forget Jehovah your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you shall surely perish.

Deu 8:20 As the nations whom Jehovah destroys before your face, so you shall perish because you would not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.

I read this passage this morning and God impressed upon me that it was speaking to America. We have to watch out or we will be destroyed.

I am fearful that with our new Commander-in-Chief leading the White House that we are on the verge of that failure. He is a Muslim and openly embraces their beliefs. He has stated that America is no longer a Judeo-Christian nation. He has gone out of his way to cater to the Muslim world. He has bowed down to one of their princes, brought thousands of them to Washington to openly have prayer on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

He has forgotten Jehovah our God. He is taking America where it does not want to go. Yet we let him due to the apathetic nature of most of the Christians. We can not allow this to happen, or to continue to take place. Our very future as a might nation is at risk. When God turns us over to our own ways we will be doomed as a Christian people and will be given over to the enemy to rule over us.

There is a remnant of strong believing Christian still present in America who fervently prays that this will not happen. Thousands of prayer warriors and intercessors get on their knees weekly to plead to God that He will not forsake our great country and let it fall into oblivion.

God promises to heal our land in 2 Chronicles.

2Ch 7:14 if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

So we must unite in prayer before our Holy God to forgive our sins and the sins of our leaders; interceding to Him to heal our land.

America was founded on Biblical principles from the very beginning. The Constitution and Bill of Rights were penned with the Bible in mind and in hand. Our fore-fathers were God fearing Bible believing people who forged a great nation. It is because of this firm Christian belief that America became such a wealthy and prosperous nation.

At one time America was feared by all other nations as one of great military power. The wars we fought were decisively won in our favor. Not so now. The last wars, or rather police actions, have been miserable failures. Why?

WWII was won and the nations were freed from the tyrant Hitler. America was strong and even the powerhouse Russia did not attempt to attack or provoke us. The cold war ran on and on for years. Something happened after WWII to change Americas status in world politics.

I believe that we have fallen from favor with God. Where we once were strongly committed to Him and His work, we have become weak and have turned our eyes from Him.

Before WWII we were a rural farm community with deep Christian beliefs. Families were strong and we lived together as single units with strong family ties.

During the war women, out of necessity, learned to work and become independent. The U.S. came together as a whole to win over the evil erupting in Europe. Our young men went off to foreign lands to become conquerors over evil.

Once the war ended our life style drastically changed. Women found their independence and found they could make a good living by working. The returning men had just seen the world and seen life off the farm.

Many things happened to pull families away from Christianity and being a close nit family unit.

· Both partners were now working

· Moving off the farm to the suburbs became popular

· The 40 hour work week left much free time for recreation

· Camping became popular

· Traveling became popular

· Technology brought about conveniences

· Technology brought about toys for the kids

As families took to the road church going was forsaken. The close family groups broke up as people moved to far away places to live. This plus other factors changed the religious attitude that founded America.

There may be other factors that crept in to change our reliance upon God for our existence. Nether-the-less Americans began to forsake God and the consequences began to show in our failing as a super power nation.

We have not won a war since WWII. We have lost God’s hand on our shoulder as we strive to intervene in world politics. We are becoming weak and looked down upon by the rising Muslim militants.

It is time for American Christians to unite in prayer and intercede to God for a revival that will bring us back in line with His guidance and protection.

At such a time as we find ourselves in now we need God on our side and not against us or evil will prevail in the world. America is the last vestige of hope for the world’s humanity.

Jas 5:16 … The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.

On July 20 to July 22, 2009 Ana and I are traveling to Washington DC to attend the “Christians United for Israel’s” Fourth Annual Washington Summit.

We are meeting with other like minded Christians to stand up for the State of Israel and show our support for God’s chosen people.

It is our belief that if the America people violate their holy commitment to God, upon which our great country was founded, and drop support of the Jewish nation, that God will turn His face from us and we will fall.

America is the last vestige of Christian hope on Earth. Should we loose favor with God the rest of nations on Earth will succumb to the forces of Satan.

From the CUFI web site:

(http://www.cufi.org/site/PageServer?pagename=events_washington_summit)
“America, Israel and the world are facing a great danger in the Middle East. Iran’s president has threatened to wipe Israel off the map, while every day he gets closer to acquiring the nuclear weapons with which to make good on this threat.”

Registered attendees will meet with their elected officials throughout the day and present the Biblical positions of our support of the nation of Israel. Each registered attendee has the opportunity to meet with their Congressional Representative and Senators.

We look forward to meeting with our congressmen in support of the Jewish nation. It is our duty to stand with them.

“For Zion’s sake I will not be silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until its righteousness goes out as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning lamp.”
Isaiah 62:1

Unlike many other demonstrations of this size which center on lifestyle or monetary needs, ours is in support of a concept, a belief with eternal consequences.

It has become increasingly obvious that taking such a stand for Israel is something that God wants us to do; a divinely anointed path to follow.

Neither of us has ever been politically inclined in the past. We have just let things happen that happen. Sort of like Lemmings as we watched the world hurl headlong into oblivion.

Not this time! In my Spirit I know that we must take a stand in favor of the Jewish people by petitioning the US Congress to not break off relations with Israel in favor of the Muslim nations.

From the day that Abraham begot Ishmael and then later Isaac, there has been a warring between these two nations, Jews and Islam’s. But an end will not take place until the last and final battle of planet Earth called Armageddon.

Iran poses a nuclear threat stating that they can wipe out Israel in 11 days. Hitler tried this many years ago as well as many other Kings in ancient times. But God has said that the Jewish Nation is His chosen people, a Holy Nation. He will not let them be wiped off the face of the Earth.

But it is Americas duty to stand beside Israel and hold them dear as Allies, not cast them off as a bargaining chip to appease the Muslim nations. God has stated in Genesis:

“I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
Genesis 12:1-3

We Americans can not take a stand against Israel by turning a deaf ear to their cries for help. God will severely judge us if we do. America has experienced God’s blessings since Christians first landed at Plymouth Rock. We must not give up that blessing so easily.

So it is off to Washington we will go. There we hope to impress our leaders with the importance of standing firmly behind Israel and the Jewish nation. We hope to be led of the Spirit to take action where we can. We hope to meet a group of prayer warriors whom which we may keep the home fires burning as we petition God for resolution.

“.. If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31
