The United States of America: The Divided State of the Church

But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made BOTH GROUPS into ONE and BROKE DOWN the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile THEM BOTH in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. Ephesians 2:13-16 (emphasis mine)

Lessons I share with you are lessons I have first learned in my personal life. As the Spirit refines, reproves, and helps more of Amanda to die, He opens my eyes to so much! So many times I have been Peter cutting of the ears of Christ’s enemies and drowning out the still small voice telling me to get behind the Cross. I was acting as its enemy. Only until the Spirit began to work in my heart in recent years to break and reshape me did I become aware of this sinful aspect of my flesh. I believe this deep conviction for right and wrong is from God, but He first has had to take me through many things (and still more to come I’m sure) to kill the flesh that would rather be right than love.

There is such a spirit of disunity in the Christian world that it has spilled out into our homes and into our nation. We have become a people so concerned with being “right” that we have completely lost sight of the reconciliation and love of Christ. The enemy laughs as he knows the word of God better than we do.

“Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” Matthew 12:25

This spirit of self “righteousness” has divided marriages, businesses, families, and now our nation’s capitol.

I cannot recommend enough the book I spoke of last time by Catherine Marshall aptly titled, The Helper. My Father brought it into my life at exactly the right time and it coincided perfectly with what I am learning through Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God study.  In speaking on unity and the church, Catherine says,

“When we look at the fragmentation of the organized Church today, all might seem to be lost. So many denominations and splinter groups! Scarcely a local church without infighting and factions. Little real Christian unity even yet between racial groups-blacks and whites, or differing nationalities, or disparate economic classes.  Such miniscule progress towards unity dramatized for us what does not work. Making laws will not do it. Education does not bring unity either. Not even rallies, marches, strikes, and blatant propaganda can effect true oneness. In the United States black-white segregation has seen two decades of laws and education and every external device, but even yet we make painfully slow progress.”

As I watched CSPAN yesterday and listened to the same arguments at nauseam from each side at first I was angry. Then late last night as they debated the amendment to stop the funding of abortion, I watched as the venom spewed from some of those on the left, especially the women. Inside I felt this deep sense of grief. I was heartbroken for these people. I went to my closet and began to pray. I sat silently before my Lord as He poured into me a love for the blind. They are in the grasp of Satan’s power and it is heartbreaking. Then my heart turned to my own life, family, friends, and my church. The enemy has been working vehemently to kill, steal, and destroy the beautiful love that Jesus wants us to have for each other. He reminds us often of the hurt that someone caused us; the wrong words and attitudes they had toward us, the worldly behavior they displayed. He gets us in that judgmental mindset where we begin to replay over and over in our heads how wrong they are and how somebody ought to just set them straight. We complain and grumble (we call it prayer) against them and ask God why He doesn’t do something about this injustice.

And His simple reply is this: “It is finished”

For those who would be skeptic that even the spirit of Christ cannot reunite a divided nation, home, or relationship, I give you the following story taken from Catherine Marshall’s book, The Helper.

“My husband Leonard and I have watched at close range a modern example of reconciliation which has come out of Washington’s Watergate scandal. Obviously, Watergate produced distrust, violent resentment and anger- a climate of hostility and hatred involving many in the nation’s capital. Among them, former Senator Harold Hughes, a political liberal and such a vigorous critic of President Nixon that he was a top man on the administration’s enemies list. Thus Hughes became a particular target for Chuck Colson, Nixon’s “hatchet man.”
Colson thought Hughes a menace to the nation because of his violent and outspoken opposition to Nixon policies.
Hughes thought Colson the epitome of evil as the leader of the White House gang. In politics, Chuck Colson stood for everything that Harold Hughes hated.
Then in an incisive way the Holy Spirit moved into Chuck’s life, cleansing him, changing him, bringing him to his knees.
Years before, Hughes had already had the same experience. It had happened at a time when Harold had been contemplating suicide because of despair over his anger about life and his drunkenness. Jess had been Rescuer and Savior to him in every sense.
Then came the dramatic moment when Harold and Chuck were brought together through an intermediary, Doug Coe, head of the Washington Fellowship Group. In order to take a little of the heat off, Doug had decided to make it a quiet evening with wives at the home of Al Quie, Minnesota Democratic congressman. Doug had also invited a former Democratic congressman from Texas, Graham Purcell and his wife, Nancy. The setting was the Quies’ paneled family room with the group gathered around a mammoth brick fireplace.
In the midst of the others, Colson and Hughes were rather like two boxers waiting in their separate corners for the sparring to begin. Then abruptly Harold began the action. “Chuck, they tell me you’ve had an encounter with Jesus Christ. Would you tell us about it?”
So Chuck described what had happened that memorable summer night near Boston when a lifelong barrier between him and his god had been broken down. To his surprise, Colson felt no embarrassment in talking about this, the most intimate experience of his life, yet he was supremely conscious of his inadequacy.
Here is Chuck Colson’s own description of what happened as the spirit in Hughes heard his spirit testify of Jesus Christ:
For a moment there was silence. Harold, whose face had been enigmatic while I talked, suddenly lifted both hands in the air and brought them down hard on his knees. “That’s all I need to know. Chuck, you have accepted Jesus and He has forgiven you. I do the same. I love you now as my brother in Christ. I will stand with you, defend you anywhere, and trust you with anything I have.”…”

Christians, I implore you today. I know what it is like to be wronged, and I know what it is like to wrong others. I am not saying we ought to sit by and say nothing when someone hurts us or when an injustice is carried out; quite the contrary. First, we are to go to our Father and discuss it with Him in an honest manner with a spirit of submission. We are to ask Him what our part is in that situation. What, if anything, should we do to make it right.

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24

For our nation, we must pray as Nehemiah did with a spirit of brokenness for our own part in the apathy we have had toward the things of God.

“I pray, LORD God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses. Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations;but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand. O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”  Nehemiah 1:5-11

 Ask Him what He would have His people do in response to the evil around us. Ask Him to reveal to you specifically what your part is in the ministry of reconciliation that you received when you received Christ. Then, be obedient to what the Spirit tells you.

One thing He has revealed to me is that the body of Christ has left herfirst love. We run our churches like business organizations rather than bodies. We fail to recognize the necessity of receiving input from every member under the direction of the head and striving for unity in the Spirit before we move ahead. We think it is to be run like a democracy and we have modeled our churches after the American government rather than the Word of God. This must stop!

"But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." 1 Corinthians 12:7
"But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired." 1 Corinthians 12:18

Secondly, we have bowed to Caesar rather than God. Jesus told us to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and God what is God’s. I believe that we have preferred to remain a tax-free organization rather than a bond-slaved body to Christ. Did the 120 gathered in the upper room on the day of Pentecost worry that if they spoke God’s truth they would lose their tax exempt status? We have been fearful of taxes more than God! We should be ashamed! This is clear evidence that the church has left her first love, disobeyed her head, and bowed the knee to Baal, and we wonder why the Holy Spirit has departed.

We must as individual Christians and as a body of believers repent and turn to the Holy Spirit for help. We must stop following agendas and pushing the plans of men. We must ask forgiveness for not treating our neighbor’s as we want to be treated and for using the word of God as a weapon against men instead of against Satan.

We must put off the flesh, turn off the television, be reconciled to our spouses, and take care of our children physically, emotionally, and spiritually by teaching them the truth both in WORD and DEED! We must work with our own hands, give to the poor, forgive our brothers and sisters, and worship our Lord by sacrificing our bodies to His kingdom which is our reasonable service.

Then, and only then, will God begin to bless America again!

Jump! Shout for Joy! You Can Be Reconciled to God!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (emphasis mine)

Timely! Timely! Timely! This passage is so timely to me! Soul winning as well as loving our church family, the fallen and the upright, is a MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION! Being like Jesus means seeking to help people be reconciled to God! Don't you see? There is no condemning of the lost or the fallen if you see yourself as an ambassador for Christ to bring reconciliation between God and people by letting the Spirit "entreat" through you! Is it just me or is this an exciting revelation?

It seems like lately the Spirit keeps taking me to familiar passages and then telling me, "Now read the rest!" How many times have you heard, "Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." and thought...that must mean the old sin nature has passed away. Nope! The old thing of being unreconciled to God has passed away, and now we are reconciled to God being given the new nature and the power to overcome the old nature! That is the exciting news! I don't know about you, but I am sick of people forgetting to tell others that when they come to Jesus they get power over sin because they are NOW RECONCILED TO GOD! Get it! You don't have to hide in the bushes Adam and Eve! Come out! Your father has done more than prepare a covering for you, He has washed you clean with the blood of His Son! All things are made NEW AGAIN!

Unbeliever estranged from God this message is for you:

Jump! Shout for joy! You can be redeemed!


Don't look at me or to me or to others; we are simply the ambassadors of Christ to tell you that He has come to reconcile you to the Father! Be overjoyed for your sin is paid in full and your redemption is NOW! "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Jump, shout for joy, you are redeemed!

Believer who has fallen into sin:

Jump! Shout for joy! You ARE REDEEMED!

Don't look to yourself or your sin; confess it and move on!
Receive the grace provided for you! Be overjoyed for your sin is paid in full and your redemption is NOW! "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our (meaning YOURS and MINE) behalf, that we might become the righteusness of God in Him." Jump! Shout for joy! You are redeemed!

JUMP! SHOUT FOR JOY! YOU CAN BE RECONCILED TO GOD!


Now, believers...quit scoffing at sinners, quit looking down your noses at fallen family members, confess, turn around, and receive the "ministry of reconciliation" given to us by our Lord, Jesus Christ. Confess your judgmentalism and begin allowing the Spirit to make you an ambassador of the good news of reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ!

The Helper

The first years after my conversion, the Helper spent time getting me acquainted with the Father. When I was hurt and wounded emotionally, I would imagine crawling into the lap of my Father and having him cradle me as I wept. I fell in love with the Father and it helped to heal many childhood wounds. Last year, the Helper took me on a journey into understanding that the Lord is my ISH: My husband; He is my protector, my stability, and my lover.
Only He can truly fulfill all the longings I have for romantic love.

I promise that from that day on, you will call me your husband instead of your master.I will no longer even let you mention the names of those pagan gods that you called " Master." Hosea 2:16-17

To my delight, I am realizing that this year the Helper is teaching me about Himself. This is the year to become intimately acquainted with all the qualities of the Helper: The Holy Spirit.

“And all of us…are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of Glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (Amplified)

I can tell you that once again, I am falling head over heels in love with my Lord. Fully embracing the love of the Helper and how He seeks to help me with EVERYTHING from where did I put my keys, to organizing my time, to sharing my faith, and most importantly to the receiving of and the freely giving of grace.

Recently I've been on the road. Nearly 15 days this month, in fact, and my waistline is definitely PAYING FOR IT! It is time to get back on the wagon! However, a great benefit of travelling while someone else drives is that I get to read! I have been devouring works by both Catherine Marshall and Peter Marshall and can't get enough. In fact, I am excited to have found their son's site, Peter Marshall Ministries, and more great resources to feed this hunger for American history that the Spirit has placed in my heart.

I have almost completed a book by Catherine Marshall entitled, The Helper. The Helper is actually a compilation of devotions that both she and Peter completed for a 1945 issue of a Presbyterian devotional magazine entitled, Today. It is amazing as I read both Peter’s and Catherine’s material how much the Spirit inside me is ignited. It is so inspiring and refreshing to read the practicality and informative insight into what it means to be a Christian and how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I am more convinced than ever that so many Christians are walking around with a limp because they have never been adequately taught the disciplines of the true faith and how to receive the fullness of the Spirit. We are often taught that the Great Commission is all about evangelism. We act as though it says, “Go and make converts using this program and then teach them to go and make converts using the same program”, but this is not at all what it says.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20

Clearly, He is telling us that because He has been given authority, we have been given authority to go and make disciples and to teach them to obey everything. Surely, in this command it is implicit that we teach new converts how to grow and access the freedom granted us by rendering ourselves over to the complete control of the Spirit.
Catherine Marshall writes,

“Many people are afraid of the Helper. Often unspoken is the fear, “If I assent to the Spirit, won’t He then just take over and make me do all sorts of kooky things?” But from a great pool of Christian experience comes the answer. No, the Helper never violates anyone’s free will. He, like each person of the Trinity, has supreme respect for our personhood. He will never trample upon that or take us any further than we are willing to go.”

I, for one, have experienced that fear. I have been afraid of just what the Helper will ask of me. I have thought that if I fully allow Him to explore and guide me, then I will have to live with the constant guilt and remorse over seeing who I really am. Then, today, the Helper revealed to me that He is doing exactly what I have asked Him to do and that is: Help Me! He has been helping me become more like Christ with every humbling confession. He has been helping me become more like Christ with every weakness revealed. He has been helping me become more like Christ with every idol He removes. I finally realized that the Helper is a very loving and gentle Spirit whose only desire is to make Jesus known more fully to me and to those whom He would affect through my fully surrendered life. Catherine Marshall states it so well when describing her surrender after many months of illness. She describes an experience of succumbing to the will of the Lord over her illness after reaching utter despair. After completely throwing herself on the mercies of the Lord, she is awakened around 3:30 am and describes her encounter with Christ as follows,

“At about 3:30 A.M. I was awakened from a sound sleep-very wide awake. Suddenly—He was there. Jesus, standing on the right side of the bed. The room crackled and vibrated. Since I have detailed this experiences elsewhere, I want to emphasize here just one aspect of the electrifying moments that followed. At the end, Jesus gave me this simple directive, “Go and tell your mother.” Even in that command, I was acutely aware of Jesus’ regard for my personhood and of His hands-off attitude as regards my free will. That’s the way Jesus wanted it to be.

Skipping on down, she writes,

“Not understanding why He wanted me to tell my mother, I still knew that I must obey anyway. My healing began at that point of blind obedience. In retrospect, I realized that it was not for my mother’s sake that Jesus had given me this directive, but for my own sake: I had to bend the will and obey.”

She concludes by helping us to understand that while the Father will complete His work in us, He will never violate our free will. He will only fill us to the degree with which we are willing to empty ourselves. She states,

“He insists upon being a welcome guest in our hearts and beings, never a trespasser or an interloper or a squatter. In fact, we can, whenever we choose, turn this sympathetic, courteous Guest from the door of our heart. We can also so grieve Him with wrong attitudes that He withdraws…”

This, as she summarizes, clearly puts an end to our fears and puts the responsibility back upon us. I believe that we are not experiencing the power of God in our lives as individuals, as churches, and clearly as a nation because we have chosen to grieve, deny, and flat out refuse the help of the Helper by our self-determined wills. Even as Christians, we can be saved and promised eternity, but have little power over the enemy, over sin, and over our circumstances because we are relinquishing it. We refuse to ask for help from the Helper and then, even if we ask, we refuse to obey. Let it no longer be said of me!

Father,

Thank you for the Helper. Forgive me for the MANY times I have denied His help. Help me to recognize fully every day the work of the Helper in my life and to fully and completely obey Him. I relinquish myself to you completely. Where there are areas that I have still not relinquished control, help me to see them and surrender. Thank you that you have not left us helpless, but have graciously provided us with your Spirit. I completely reject all unbelief that would say that this life is hopeless, that this nation is forever doomed, and that your people cannot see a revival. I believe that ALL THINGS are possible with You and I pray that Your people will begin to cry out for the Help that we so desperately need from the Helper for our homes, our churches, and our White House.

Amen

A China Doll Seeks True History and Prays for American Revival

History! It is so important! Never before in my life did I fully realize, understand, and embrace it as I am now. As a matter of fact, I am so excited about learning it that I wish I could somehow just push a button and get it all in my brain. Ah, but that is not how our Lord works and thankfully so. Surely, it is He who has taught us to appreciate the slow sips of a good, hot, cup of coffee. Learning is truly the same. Savoring each nugget of wisdom and meditating on its truth. Certainly, true biblical wisdom is to be obtained this way.

The sweetest thing about what the Lord has been revealing to me over these past two years of what we will call “home study” is that I can look back over my lifetime and see His great redemption of my life and just fall and worship Him! Since stepping out of the workforce full time and coming to my calling of wife and homemaker, the Father has opened my eyes to the greatest work, apart from my eternal redemption, that He has ever done in my life. That is the redemption of a rebellious woman to a biblical woman. He has been calling me back from the pits of a past lifetime of worldly teaching into a beautiful future of biblical teaching. He has been doing it for years, but only in these past two years has He begun to open my eyes to it.

The making of a biblical woman! You can find most of its chapters here on this blog. You will see the great highs, the deep lows, and everything in between. As a matter of fact, I have been tempted at times to go and remove some of what I have put “out there” about myself, but then I recall that the point of this blog was to share Jesus through the “real me” and I stop myself. This morning as I bowed my head to speak to my Father and the images in my mind of where I came from and where I am going began to play, it sparked utter adoration for Him. I realized that what He has done in my life is the same as He has done in millions of lives and wants to do in millions more. He has reached down into the miry clay and picked up a very dirty, broken, and smudged porcelain China doll. She was sharp on the edges and able to cut any who dared to get close to her and yet He could see through that and know that inside she was hollow and desperate for someone who would deal with her gently.

The world had told her that she needed no one but self. It had told her that her talents and intellect would get her far in life, and that if those around her didn’t appreciate her for who she “really” was then she should just dismiss and discard them. The world had said that the only way she would ever get clean was to clean herself. The world had said that being “right” was better than being “gentle”. However, God began to show her that she could never be “right” apart from being “a gentle, quiet Spirit” because only His “gentle, quiet Spirit” is “right” and “pure”.

The gracious God of the Universe indwelt flesh as Jesus Christ and came to set the record straight for us all including women. Last night, I watched a movie named, “A Man Called Peter” based on the book by the same name written by the late Catherine Marshall. You might be more familiar with her popular work, “Christy” which is how I came to know about her. I was ever more excited by her when I found her to be born in the same town as I, and that she had aspired to be an author from childhood. I am currently reading some of her other works and her biography, but I had been told that this 1955 film was wonderful. Well, wonderful, certainly does not do it justice. In this clip, you will hear exactly what the Lord has been showing me these past two years regarding His design and plan for women and how the enemy has come to steal, kill, and destroy all that is beautiful: including biblical womanhood. The enemy also tries to tell us that things are hopeless and that taking a stand for God in America is over and we might has well just sit down. Well, I can tell you that after seeing this movie now more than ever do I refuse that LIE from the pit of Hell!





Men and women of God, evil has been occurring in this world since Eve committed the first act of feminist rebellion. However, alongside that evil, our God has been raising many godly men and women who refuse to accept the majority tide of things. It is time that we do the same in this generation. It is time that we Christian women reject feminism in all its forms. It is time that we quit thinking that we are more “godly” than our husbands, that we are better able to run our homes, our workplaces, and our churches. It is time we bowed to our King and asked Him what He has designed for us, our children, and our spouses and then humbly offer our lives in complete submission to His perfect plan. Not ours!

As I see it, ladies, we have two choices. We can continue on the path that some of our ancestors have set before us by telling us that the way to true happiness is to rebel against all that God says a beautiful woman is and continue to see our marriages destroyed, our children on drugs, and our lives crumble. We can continue to sedate ourselves with antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. We can continue to drug our ill behaved children raising them to fill up the jail houses and disrespect authority and have no love for their nation. We can choose DEATH!

HER FEET GO DOWN TO DEATH, HER STEPS TAKE HOLD OF SHEOL. SHE DOES NOT PONDER THE PATH OF LIFE; HER WAYS ARE UNSTABLE, SHE DOES NOT KNOW IT. PROVERBS 5:5-6

OR



We can choose to rebel against the father of all LIES! Repent from following his deception and evil ways and turn to the ONE good and perfect God who created us. After all, if He created us don’t you think He knows the “way in which we should go”? The reason Proverbs 22:6 gives us the promise that a child will not depart from being raised in the way “he should go” is not because there is some “general” way, but because the Father knows the “way” in which each of His children should go and if they will but seek to find it through a relationship with Him, they will NEVER WANT TO DEPART from it! I can tell you that my spirit soars when I think of the truly biblical woman, gentle, quiet, and at peace in her soul because of her God; a woman who is not rushing around frantically trying to figure out her life. She is a woman who is not ranting and raving every time things aren’t going “her” way, but calmly taking all her concerns to her Lord. She is graciously thanking him for her husband who, not perfect, is there in her house providing stability and love for her and her children. She is a woman who KNOWS her God, who TRUSTS her God, and who is not afraid of the future or the storms that the enemy brings her way. She is truly a beautiful, biblical woman.

BUT MARY TREASURED ALL THESE THINGS, PONDERING THEM IN HER HEART. LUKE 2:19

Ladies, let us choose this day whom we will serve! Let us choose life for ourselves, our homes, our neighbors, and our nation. I implore you to consider the TRUTH of God’s word and consider examining your own hearts. Is the very thing you so desperately desire in the hands of others around you or your own. Proverbs tells us that,

THE WISE WOMAN BUILDS HER HOUSE, BUT THE FOOLISH TEARS IT DOWN WITH HER OWN HANDS. PROVERBS 14:1

Start today by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ. Tell Him that you don’t know how to be a biblical woman, but you are willing to let Him teach you and you are willing to obey Him despite the cost. Tell Him that you want to be a godly woman in this evil and perverse generation and you want to take a stand for biblical womanhood and against the enemy and his schemes to steal, kill, and destroy America by stealing, killing, and destroying our God given and created beauty!

I wrote this prayer in my journal this morning and I would like to share it with you.

“TEACH me Lord! Teach me Your Word, teach me about Your people, and the history-The TRUE history of this Great Nation. Lord, I know we have had great atrocities and dark blots on our society called racism and slavery, but Father must all the godly men and women of all races be forgotten because of the evil ones? Must we turn our back completely on what made this nation great and embrace complete darkness? Father, please help it not to be so. Father, please send a revival to America, to its pulpits, to its Senate and House. Father, the power lies not in the hands of the American people to see us return to God, but in their hearts! We must turn to you and beg for your mercy and Spirit. Father, please spare us and for the sake of the righteous blood bought citizens of America, send forth your light; send forth Your Truth! I love you and I adore You! I desire to follow You TODAY! Amen”
