I read an interesting article written by best-selling author Jonathan Cahn today. In part he wrote:
“We have had four years of a conservative administration,” said Cahn. “We have had a president whose policies were the most pro-life in history. President Trump stood against the killing of the unborn, for religious liberty, for Christian education. He appointed judges and Supreme Court justices who would be more likely to stand for biblical and traditional values. He opened the door for Christian ministers and leaders to give him counsel. He stood strongly for the nation of Israel by policy — he was the most pro-Israel president in history.
“President Trump became the first world leader since ancient times to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,” Cahn said. “He, along with the Republicans in Congress, sought to hold back a flood of anti-biblical legislation and movements from overtaking America.”
But where are we now? What do we do?
“There are those who say that believers should have nothing to do with the government or politics. On the other hand, there are those who act like the political realm is our ultimate realm and our ultimate fight even if it means calling for an American Civil War.
Both are wrong.
Messiah said you are the light of the world. The light has to shine. It has to affect and impact the world around it. As the light of God, we are to address, touch, affect and impact every realm — and that includes cultural and political realms.
We should do everything we can to shine the light of God on the political realm,” he said. “But there is a balance. Messiah also said that we are in the world but not of the world. And he said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world.’ We have to remember the fact that this world is neither our home nor our kingdom. We are to touch and minister to this world but remember that we are not of it. We are of a different and higher kingdom — a higher cause, a higher fight, a higher purpose, a higher mission.”
Cahn explained that believers have to come back to their first love: God.
Most true believers who are not turning a blind eye to our dire situation realize that fact and that we must repent and return to God. Unfortunately, as Cahn has said: “In these past four years, with all the victories in the political realm, we have not seen a parallel victory in the realm of revival of America as a nation. It hasn’t moved closer to God as a nation. It has moved farther away: spiritually, culturally, morally. America has continued its race to judgment . . . Without revival, without returning to God, America is lost.”
Cahn pointed out the clear and present danger that now threatens the free exercise of faith, religious liberty, ministry, the right of parents to determine the upbringing of their children, the right to life, the right of conscience and the future of America itself.
Vitally important are the two Senate races in Georgia, we must pray that they do not go to Democrats which would give the anti-Christ forces complete control of our government.
Without revival we will either see continued shakings and judgment and America’s decline and ultimate fall, or the sealing of America’s apostasy and the coming of persecution. And it can be that both of these things will take place at the same time.
Cahn Asked, “What is the only good scenario for America? There’s only one. Revival. Revival can only begin with that one thing: repentance. The people of God can lead in revival. We must each commit to praying for revival as never before. But not only praying for revival, but actually to begin to live in true revival.
Cahn summed it up by saying, “Stand strong. Stand tall. Stand victorious,” Cahn said. “For the Lord says to you, ‘Darkness will cover the nations. And the Lord will rise upon you. So arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you in the name of Jesus, the anointed one, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the light of the world and the Lion of the tribe of Judah.'”
If the nation will not respond and return to God, I suppose we all know what will come next. I don’t dread it, nor do I want to cling to this world a second longer than ordained by God. We belong in our homeland, heaven, and we welcome you Jesus to take us there in a twinkling of the eye – come quickly!
Revelation 22:20
He which testifies to these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
