Impending Disaster Ahead!

As Americans prepare to celebrate our nation’s 239th birthday this week, I cannot help but to feel a certain anxiety as to what is soon to become a part of America’s fated destiny.
This nation was originally formed, fashioned, and populated by multitudes of thousands of immigrants who fled their native homelands in Europe to come to America. And most of them that came did so seeking religious freedom.
America was seen as a “City on a Hill,” a place where men could come and worship God freely and where men could raise their offspring in the fear and admonition of the Lord without compromising their fundamental Christian beliefs.
These individuals came seeking a place of refuge without fear of a tyrannical government continually seeking to steal from them those very rights or to intimidate and/or eradicate any who would not yield to their dictatorial authority.
It was the very reason that when the Founding Fathers penned the Constitution, they made certain that the very First Amendment in the Bill of Rights would continue to guarantee such rights for Americans in every generation; it was why the Founders worded it like this:
“CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS; OR THE RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.”
How sad it is that in just 239 years, 5 black robed unelected officials have effectively took it upon themselves to overstep the authority of the Constitution. Individuals who have went so far as to take it upon themselves to strike down the very legal definition of marriage, the definition that God the Creator of mankind had originally wrote.
For in Matthew 19, when Jesus was approached about a marital issue, these were His exact words on defining marriage: “HAVE YE NOT READ THAT HE [GOD] WHICH MADE THEM AT THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, AND SAID, FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL A MAN LEAVE FATHER AND MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE…WHAT THEREFORE GOD HATH PUT TOGETHER, LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.”
Who are these 5 black robed judges who think that they can supersede and disregard Almighty God, His Word, and the precedence of thousands of years of mankind’s history?
And while hundreds of thousands celebrated in the streets of America at the Supreme Court’s unconstitutional ruling (there is not one word mentioned in the entire constitution where marriage is defined as a constitutional right) my heart wept, as I was eye witness to the fulfillment of End Times prophecy which reminded me that, “In the Last Days they shall call good evil and evil good.”
But the thing that grieved my heart the most is that America doesn’t even realize what she is unleashing upon herself by her continued embracement of every type of sin imaginable (although this week, I believe our nation has reached an unprecedented low).
In the book of Deuteronomy (Ch. 28) God warns of what will happen to any nation who disregards His Word and His laws and chooses to embrace sin instead.
For in this passage God promises that pestilence, plagues, diseases, and natural disasters will overspread that land. He assures us that our enemies will terrorize us with death, destruction, and outright fear; and He also declares that our bountiful land will no longer produce in abundance, thus causing lack and want everywhere.
Maybe you’re reading this, and you’re saying, “But I don’t believe in the Bible.” But just because one doesn’t believe in something doesn’t necessarily make it any less true! So America Be Warned…There Is Impending Disaster Ahead! And when it comes, you just remember, embracing sin, any sin…It Always Has Unintended Consequences!
Yes, I love America. I thank God for America, and I thank God for all those individuals who have sacrificed so much so that I have been able to enjoy the privileges of freedom and liberty that this nation has afforded me.
But now, the very liberties and freedoms that we hold so near and so dear are threatened. And most especially because of our beliefs in Jesus Christ, it seems that our very “Way of life” is now in jeopardy.
But let this world take note. I am not ashamed to be called a Christian. And you may take away my freedom of speech and redefine Truth as hate speech. And you may well label me a bigot because I still continue to believe in the “Book” and I do affirm that all that it says is true.
And because I refuse to acquiesce to this world’s brand of intolerant political correctness, they may well steal from me all my earthly possessions, and their vitriol towards Christianity may so inflame them even to the taking of my very life.
Nevertheless, let it be known this day, I refuse to compromise God’s Word, not one iota of it. I refuse to accept as okay, anything that God in His Word has already condemned. Right is still what God says is right, wrong is still what God says is wrong. And yes, there is still a heaven to gain and a hell to shun and each and every one of us will be going to one or the other.
As a Believer in Jesus Christ, no matter what may come my nation’s way, I have this calm assurance that God is going to take care of me until my tour of duty is ended. But America Be Warned…There Is Impending Disaster Ahead!
National sins demand national judgment, and only sincere and national repentance will stem the tidal wave of God’s judgment and wrath that I fear is about to sweep across this land.
God, please forgive our sins which are multitudinous in number, and help us to humble ourselves before You, and to seek Your face once more…GOD, ONE MORE TIME, PLEASE SEND REVIVAL TO AMERICA!
Just a Thought,
Pastor Ken Jones
