Can God turn the tide in our country?
Well, the answer to the question can God turn the tide in our country is YES!! Yes He can! That should be the next motto- not yes we can but Yes! He can.
I start off on the positive because anything is possible with our God! Maker of Heaven and Earth!
However, we might want to ask the question not "can" God turn the tide but does He want to turn the tide? According to world events, scripture and the long downhill slide of all nations worldwide that answer may be more complex. The Lord tells us about apostasy in the church in the last days and we see that along with Israel being surrounded by her enemies... we know that eventually a world govt will be implemented in some form and we are watching that be set up as nations are being funneled into that system out of sheer desparation. (I think someone in the current administration called it a "nudge" in that direction.)
My personal belief is now is the time for the church to tell the truth, to preach with conviction the full gospel and not a watered down gospel light. Not in offense, done with love but the full truth none the less. Let the hearers choose this day whom they will serve. We need to point people to Christ and not to man. Man fails everytime but HE won't!
So- am I looking for God to turn the tide? Yes! A new kingdom is coming and is at the door... look up for your redemption draws nigh! It's not in politics, not in religion, not in education, not in entertainment but in the living Christ! The battle belongs to the Lord!! =D
