We have closed heart, ears, and eyes..
The answer is the same for us today as it was when Jesus spoke the following words recorded in Matthew 13: 15 KJV: “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed.” Jesus continued that if there would become a time when they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn, he would then heal them.
We are self-destructing…
God knows what is in each heart. He knows that hearts are hardened today just as they were in the days when Jesus walked on earth. His intervention is to help save us from self-destruction. He wants us to see, hear, understand, and turn, so we can be healed.
Danger! Danger! America’s soul is in danger!…
Compare this intervention to the bright yellow tape put out to warn people of danger. It is God who has the whole picture. He is speaking now to save the many who are in danger of losing their soul. If these many are lost, America loses its soul, also. Without lifesaving, soul saving intervention, there is no hope for America or its people. If America fails, there will be no chance to help save the other people of the world. God does not want failure. Neither should we want it. Know this: The bright yellow danger-warning tape does not include instructions on what to do to save yourself or others. God’s warnings come with complete instructions. As always, the instructions are wrapped in love.
Darkness is engulfing our nation…
God is here to help us all. He has guidelines to help us navigate our life’s journey. Some need more guidance than others to keep on the right path. Some have ventured far from the path and have wandered into a darkness from which there is no escape without intervention. Some have gone so far into darkness that they have caused darkness to envelop others. It will take parental intervention to help lead the lost into the Light.
The alarm is ringing. It is time to wake-up…
The time for this wake-up call has been chosen because our individual and collective health – mental, physical, emotional, economic, and most concerning of all, spiritual—is being lost at an alarming rate. For every half-step we are taking forward in trying to combat these losses of health, we are falling back five steps. Listening to and following guidance from Above is our hope, our salvation, and our lifeline.
Our Heavenly Parent is the one for the job…
God, our Heavenly Father, is the one-and-only for the job. He will do what is necessary even unto using words of tough love.
Tough love explained…
Tough love according to God: promoting the welfare of his children — that’s all of us– by stating wrongs being committed and showing what must be done to right those wrongs. The wrongs are tough to hear. However, there is a hopeful part: learning that God’s love is everlasting, ever present, ever helpful, never harmful. He is helping us know the things we can do to right those wrongs. The time to begin righting wrongs is now.
