The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 564
vision? How many who seek to understand seek their understanding from God?
If we want God's protection and provision, we need to seek a deeper relationship with
Him. We need to learn to hear His voice and we need to learn to trust and obey. We need to learn
to trust and obey because God's ways often seem strange to us. God states through the prophet
Isaiah: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)
The word of God tells us that many will be martyred for their faith during the soon
coming tribulation (Revelation 6:9-11; 17:6; and 18:24). Why will people be martyred and not
protected? It is my belief that many martyrs will lay down their lives during the tribulation
because they have not learned to hear God' voice and to trust and obey. Often God protects us by
warning us, if we choose not to heed His warning, we shall pay the price!
Therefore, we must all spend more time in God's word, we must spend more time in
prayer, we must spend more time listening for His voice, we must learn to recognize His voice
and how to speaks to us and we must learn to trust and obey. If we are faithful, God will be
faithful to His promise!
We must learn how he speaks to us because he speaks in different ways to different
individuals. To some in speaks in dreams (dreams are symbolic), others in visions (visions are
more literal), to some he speaks in an audible voice and to most he speaks in a still small voice
which is not audible. The still small voice is more of a thought which we must learn to
distinguish from our own thoughts.
Try this exercise. Spend some time in prayer and worship. Then, take out a piece of
paper. Now in faith, believing that God will speak to you, write the words: “The Father says,”.
Now write down what God says. If you get a journal and do this regularly, you will have a record
of what God is saying to you. You can record your dreams in the same journal.
Daniel's Example – A Prayer Of Repentance
The prophet Daniel sought the Lord God in “prayer and supplications, with fasting, and
sackcloth, and ashes.” He made confession and repented of the sins of the nation of Israel. We
ought to do the same in accordance with his example. You can find his prayer in Daniel 9.
The sins of the United States of America are not unlike Israel's sins. Let us consider
Daniels confession and add to it the particular sins of America. I invite you to read this aloud and
make it part of your confession and repentance:
O merciful Father in heaven, full of mercy and grace. “We have sinned, and have
committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy
precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets,
which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the
land.” (Daniel 9:5:6)
We have failed to obey the voice of the Lord and to walk in His laws. All America has
transgressed thy law.
Even from the founding of our nation our leaders abandoned you. They failed to seek
your counsel in prayer while our government was being formed.
