SHILOH MESSENGER - July 2014
















Code Blue

Webster’s defines Freedom as the quality or state of being free, moreover Liberty is defined as the state or condition of people who are able to act and speak freely, a political right.
 
As July 4th Celebrations begin this 2014, we have opportunity if you will, a choice to ponder the definition of Freedom and Liberty from the foundation of which our Nation was established as a reference to where we are today and then truly desire to take action before it is too late, or we can just party heartily, and close our eyes and ears to our very Homeland crumbling before us. Solomon penned under the Inspiration of The Holy Spirit Proverbs 14:34, “Uprightness and right standing with God (which is moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) elevate a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
 
The moral fabric of our Nation has and is being shredded at a tenacious rate, with atrocities and abominations’ occurring as this note is being typed with things happening that would flabbergast those who have already passed into eternity. A few News headlines that are more than shocking are as follows, Marriage between the same sexes is taken on a norm in this Society with now seventeen States recognizing and giving approval with a lawful pursuit of this evil that is being recognized as good. Isaiah states in chapter 5 and verse 20.”Woe unto those who call evil good and good evil.”
 
There have been approximately fifty million babies aborted since Roe versus Wade in 1973. Super Bowl is no longer just a National Football event but is used for the exploitation for masses of human trafficking to take place right here in the good ole USA with the kidnapping of many young girls and boys to be sold and used as sexual objects. Startling mounting of shootings in schools and other public places are increasing with also a vast up rise of murders of parents and or siblings. Marijuana has now been legalized as recreational use and is producing on a larger scale lazy, apathetic, individuals with poor and diminished work ethics in this Nation, not surprising that almost half of all American High School students smoke, drink alcohol or use drugs. An elementary school in Wisconsin stirred up a great deal of controversy by hosting “Gender Bender Day” which encouraged the children to come to school dressed up as the opposite sex. As  I was typing this note, my cell phone went off very loudly with an Amber Alert, ( a bulletin that alerts the public to a recent child abduction ) And meanwhile our Leaders in Washington are negotiating with our enemies and setting free terrorist who have a major objective and that is to kill Americans. This list could obviously go on and on for these are but a very few reports of what is going on in this Nation which is mind boggling to say the least.
 
For there to be a remedy to resolve this plight we are in, we first have to admit we indeed have a problem, and confess that it is no less than a sin problem and oh how we desperately need help from Him. Jesus said, “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many has waxed cold,” Matthew 24:12.
 
Code blue is medical terminology used to define someone who is not breathing and or their heart has stopped whom medical professionals attempt to resuscitate. Having said this now what is it that we must we do as a Nation to be resuscitated from death and for this Nation to truly take on life again with a heart that is vibrant? God’s Word holds HIS BODY responsible as 2Chronicles 7:14 vividly expounds, “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.”
 
 If we are indeed His, we cannot sit idly by as our Nation decays. We have a mandate from God and to whom much is given much is required. (Luke 12:48) After we accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, (there is a difference) we are to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16) taking on His attributes. We are in a major war and our fight is not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers. (Ephesians 6:12)  In these days which we live many in The Body are becoming deceived through doors that they have opened from offenses, resentments, bitterness, Un- forgiveness, jealousies, ( Hebrews 12:15)  selfish ambition, and materialistic gain. (James 3:16) We must be in unity as His Body. Disunity amongst us is grieving His heart.( Psalm 133)
 
 “Father in heaven forgive us of our complacency. Purge us and purify us, cause our heart to beat vibrantly again for You before it  is to late. Resuscitate  us oh God we pray. Bring revival Sir to this USA. To whom the Son sets free is free indeed, let us not use our freedom but for no other reason and that is to exalt Your Name, for when  You are lifted up, You will draw all men to You. Forgive us Sir for being lukewarm and for our many misplaced priorities. Give us a revived heart Sir, one that beats to Your Heartbeat in Jesus Name.”
