America Depends on the Pulpit & the Church

The decidedly good executive orders coming out of the Oval Office in D.C. is very encouraging. However the need of this day is not in political statements or hopes of a better day, as good as that is. I rejoice that we have returned to our senses. America has found its voice, but the root of evil must be destroyed. Our foundations have been broken and need to be restored. In an earlier period of America the sound of “freedom or death” might be heard. Today we need the sound not slogans, but the actual move of a Holy God! Revival or death, must be the battle cry rising from our pulpits and churches across the land.

Some say it is too late, the die has been cast. That may very well be true, but I choose to cry out for repentance and restoration. What has begun in the natural for our country must now be seen in the spiritual. Let us break the chains of evil and immorality that has festered from our land.

Heavenly Father with mercy we ask for a move of the Holy Spirit across our nation from ocean to ocean and border to border. We ask your forgiveness of our collective and personal sins. We have sinned against you and only you Father. Forgive us and restore us. We humbly ask this in the precious name of Jesus. The author and finisher of our salvation. Amen Rh

Will Trump’s Gamble Pay Off

Well, Trump will be taking office in a couple of days.  I am happy, but with what I am seeing his first four years in office was marred by bad advice from too many old friends and cronies.  His move to the center and now his urgency to a cease fire in the Middle East is compounding the issue Israel has.  One cannot negotiate with terrorists who wish to drive an entire people group (Jews) into the sea. No peace is possible with terrorists and Trump should know this.  His ego to get the hostages home without a complete victory by the IDF is problematic at best and ignorant at best.  

Trump gave them an ultimatum, he should have stuck with it.  Then if the hostages weren’t released, let all hell break out.  He has just showed his hand that he can be moved by his astronomic ego.  I know this won’t sit well with Trump apologists who think he plays 4D chess.  Sorry, he doesn’t.  Facts are a curious thing, they are always right.

Here is hoping and praying that all turns out well. However, without total victory by the IDF, without total destruction of terror armies, we will revisit this very same war in the very near future.  It should be finished now! Rh
