Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation



: 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.
:
: Amen!'

The End is Near

In the last month we have seen: a rumour of war with Iran, wars in Yemen, Syria.and Afganistan   Major earthquakes in Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Japan,Turkey,Russia, China, California, Mexico, and Alaska, Volcanoes are going off all around the Ring of Fire. the worst locusts swarm in 70 years, and now Corona Virus.
I don't think at this point I have to mention how much the World hates Christians or the number of false prophets are out there. Is there a country that has not now had the Gospel preached into it?
Time is up the end is here. Hold on to the truth. Endure!

 Matt 24:
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Blurring Truth with Popularity

One smart guy says, Social media is ripping society apart, blurring the lines between truth and popularity. Furthermore, with money and social media tools we can multiply the effect.

The Election

Just a thought:
It seems as though God has said, "You want a nation without me, let's just see who you choose to lead you"! I think he is laughing and crying at the same time. Who knows maybe there is some unforeseen event for which one of these clowns is being divinely being installed, but it sure looks bad. The Heavens feel like brass.

Gog and Magog Warming Up

I've always thought that the War of Gog and Magog, Mesch and Tabul (EZE 38 & 39) would take place just prior to the tribulation or yearly on.
It is of great note that the seeds of this war are beginning to sprout. Recently in the news, in the same week, Putin visited Egypt and the leaders of the Turkish government cannot say enough curses at Zion.
Add to that the alienation of Israel by our government, twice refusing The Israel Prime Minister, while allowing Iran (Persia) to continue its quest of nuclear weapons.
It is only a matter of time before Israel take self-protective action and the whole world comes down on them.
God is preparing this war to make know his name. The utter natural disaster destruction of all of the invading armies will be undeniably from God.
The stage is set, the audience has been seated, and the curtain is about to go up, the fat lady just cleared her throat.
