JULY 4TH YESTERYEAR AND NOW


I remember when I was in grade school
I thought my father was the smartest man alive

He said that America would never be taken over by an invading army
He said America would decay from within like Rome did - he was right

At that time I wondered how that could happen
Life was good our neighbors could be trusted

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

I went with my Father to the bank where loans and
other transactions were made with a handshake

When you gave someone your word
it was something you could trust

We went to bed at night with our doors unlocked
We left our bicycles and other toys in the yard where they were safe

At school we said the pledge of allegiance to our flag each morning
afterwards someone read a Bible verse and a prayer over the intercom



I am not sure what happened to America
Prayer - Bible readings and love for America was taken out of our schools

It became politically incorrect to voice one's love for God and America
To have pride in honor and courage





God was removed from our school
The Holy Bible was not allowed to be in the class room

The Koran and others religious books were encouraged to be read
Some schools even had the students dress like Muslims

Drugs and violence were/are prevalent in schools
Some teachers sexually abuse their students

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

When God was removed  from the schools
Our schools became the playground for Satan

Satan has freedom to go to and fro in our schools and country
hurling abuses where ever he wants

Our judicial leaders have abused their power
They are now making themselves lawmakers too



Now our Supreme Court has said gay marriage is legal
Do not the judges and the others who voted for that ever read the Bible and the Constitution

God said in the Holy Bible homosexual acts are a sin
This sin in the Bible is call an abomination - Leviticus 20:13

I know everyone will not believe this nor care what the Bible says
Some are living only for the here and now

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
John 14:6  KJV
(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no  man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Our Bible teaches there is only one way to heaven
That is by believing in the virgin birth of Jesus - His sinless life
His death on the cross taking our place for our sins

His resurrection and that He will come back for us His Bride the Church
The predictions in the Bible about Him have happened as predicted
The time is near for His return - Time is moving so fast - I pray you will be ready



We in America are at the crossroad
we can turn back to God or keep going on the path to judgement
I pray we will turn back to God and beg His forgiveness
  
I must add God hates the sin of homosexuality BUT He loves the sinner
His death on the cross covers that sin - all you have to do is repent of it
ask God in Jesus' name to forgive you and help you to refrain from it

I pray our leaders and judges will turn to God
and beg God to forgive them
I pray our Country will repent of this sin and the others that are committed daily




God has not changed His mind about what sin is
 it is the same today as it was in the Book of Genesis
Please America turn back to the God of our forefathers

It may not be too late if we humble ourselves
He - Yahweh is a kind and loving Father
who loves us so much He sent Jesus His son to die so we could be forgiven

John 3: 16 - 18  KJV

16. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.

17. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through Him might be saved.

18.  He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

JULY 4TH YESTERYEAR AND NOW

*God is still on HIS throne
He is not in Heaven wringing His hand
saying  "What will I do about America"
He is still LORD GOD ALMIGHTY
He will prevail
So will America if we turn back to God

2 Chronicles 7:14

If My people, which are called by My name,
shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek My face,
 and turn from their wicked ways;
 then will I hear from heaven,
 and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

King James Bible




Music:  Hymn - Vangelis


*I do not want to take anyones rights from them
BUT I do not want my rights taken from me
Kathy
 


Please God, Forgive America for not obeying you.
