“And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.” Daniel 9:3-6 (KJV)

The above quoted passage from Daniel is one that spirituality should be be applied to America today. In Daniel 9, the prophet is on his face before God, confessing the sins of his nation and weeping for the refusal to follow Him and His precepts, laws and commandments. Israel is in Babylonian captivity because of their wickedness, and he goes on to say this: “Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.” Daniel totally nails it, and is rewarded by a personal visit by the Angel Gabriel.

In 1776, our first official Independence Day, America was off to a great start. Nearly every, single one of the Founding Fathers was a professing Christian or at least onboard with standing under the banner of the God of Abraham and the King James Bible. The list of God-centric quotes that can be attributed to them is well-known and a joy to read. Listen to the awesome words of Founding Father James Madison:

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind of self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” – James Madison

If a lawmakers stood up and talked like this in Obama’s America in 2015, they would be accused of “hate speech” and driven out. Show me where the Ten Commandments of God as given to Moses still stand in our halls of laws and justice. They used to be in nearly every courthouse in America, now it has dwindled down to a precious, lonely few places you will find them displayed. Even our Declaration of Independence itself refers to the Almighty God of the Bible:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Obama Breaks Promise To Not Use Obamacare For Taxpayer-Funded Abortions

In 1776, it was understood that men and women were created, and not a product of evolution, and that there is one Creator with a capital “C”, who brought it all about. In 2015, people who hold to Biblical creation and stand against the Theory of Evolution of mocked and ridiculed. Christians are called “backwards thinkers” and laughed at. There is not one public school in America today that teaches Biblical creation or even acknowledges that there is one God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

A total of 730,322 abortions were reported to Centers for Disease Control for 2011, the most recent year numbers are available. We are a nation that calls the process of killing our weak and the helpless pre-born citizens a “right”, and fight viciously to protect it. When Obamacare was being shoved down our throats, he made the promise that taxpayer dollars would never be used for abortion. But like everything else Obama says, that was a total lie. Abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood receive hundreds of millions of tax dollars every year under Title X, which subsidizes their overhead for promoting abortion as they divert more and more resources towards the killing of the unborn.

Obama Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America

In 2012, Planned Parenthood revealed a total income of $1.14 billion.Taxpayers shelled out $542 million to pad the abortion provider’s bottom line through federal and state grants and contracts (or 45% of its entire income).

In June of 2015, the US Supreme Court ruled that sodomite “marriage” was equivalent to Civil and Human Rights, and declared it to be the Law of the Land. 2015 is also the year that is seeing a huge spike in Christian persecution against those who oppose the LGBT Movement’s agenda and stand against it. Christian business owners are being hauled into courts all across America and being sued and driven into bankruptcy for their refusal to provide goods and services in support of LGBT “marriages”.

Obama: We are no longer a Christian Nation

American Christians must be prepared for the coming persecution. Churches who will not perform same-sex “weddings” can say goodbye to their tax-exempt status, and pastors who preach against the LGBT agenda must be prepared for jail time. Rod Dreher, writing in an article in Time Magazine, has this to say about the recent US Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage: “LGBT activists and their fellow travelers will be coming after social conservatives. The Supreme Court has now, in constitutional doctrine, said that homosexuality is equivalent to race. The next goal of activists will be a long-term campaign to remove tax-exempt status from dissenting religious institutions. The more immediate goal will be the shunning and persecution of dissenters within civil society.”

President Obama and the Glorification of the LGBT Mafia

I could go on, but will conclude here with simply this. America is no longer a Christian nation or anything even close to it like we were in 1776. In Obama’s America in 2015, we are a resolutely anti-Christian nation who no longer fears God and could not care less about His Commandments. Make no mistake about it, our national Day of Judgment is coming, and the fall is going to be very hard. If our Founding Fathers could spend 15 minutes in the halls of Congress today, they would have no idea where they were. It would be unrecognizable to any one of them.

Where are the street corner preachers today? Where are Christians standing up to proclaim God’s word and call people to salvation and repentance? If you are a Christian, what are you doing about it? The answer is not to join the Tea Party and carry signs against the government. The answer is stand up for the Holy Bible, and proclaim Jesus Christ to the lost and dying nation of these United States of America.

So as you enjoy the sun, fireworks and backyard barbeques today, just remember that while we may have forgotten about God, He has not forgotten about us. In the history of the world, God has never allowed such grievous national sin to go unpunished, and He will not simply sweep America’s many sins under the carpet. Judgment Day for our nation is coming, and I believe, has already started. As distasteful as it is to think about it, American can fall and will fall if we do not do as Daniel did, and get down on our faces and pray for mercy from the Almighty God of Abraham.

Are you ready for what comes next?
