Shaking the Nations...

[Murph]

"For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. " Haggai 2:6-9

Today is the 4th of July, our nation's birthday.

Have been reading this verse in several places. What does it say to you?...

[Keith]

To me, it says He's going to put man in his place.

[Murph]

He is sending warning shots over our bows...trying to get us to call out to Him in prayer...reconize that we have strayed away...repent and turn back to Him....walk with Him like we once did.

Goes back to this..."If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14

and we have seen disaster after disaster...

But our answer to Him is..."The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. " Isaiah 9:10

The "leaders" of this country, in other words...think they can do it all by themselves...and refuse to Honor God and follow God.

I can hear the hoofbeats now on the hot, dry, burnt out land...the Assyrians are coming.

We need a revival!

[Murph]

Amen?

[veterinarian]

Amen!! But perhaps an invading force will not be needed, and our country's fall will be caused by decay from within.

[Murph]

that would be comparable to our Assyrians...

or same as...

I agree.....after I posted that statement this morning I found one of my cousins' face book page. I have been worried about him. The depth to which he has fallen would astound me if I have not seen it happening all around me. I truly believe that our country will fall becuase of rot from the inside.

It makes me sad to witness the wrong choices that people are making. And they will not listen to reason!!

Yes, indeed we do.

However, this has caused much thought and honestly, confusion on my part for the past several months.

The revivals of the 19th and 20th century had names associated with them, men like Johnathan Edwards. We have more electronic media today than even Billy Graham had during his day.
But where and how is the message, the warning being delivered?

Maybe I'm being naive to think that we need that Billy Graham type standing in a huge stadium, with TV, and proclaiming to millions that they must pay attention to what is going on in the world. The warnings, through nature, weather, financial markets, countries on the verge of monetary collapse.

Perhaps throngs are reading the warnings on todays super media and just ignoring it. Perhaps there is to much silence from the pulpits on Sunday mornings.

I just don't know. My faith remains strong as I/we look toward the fullfillment and our glorious hope.

[Murph]

I've wondered the same thing Bob. When Israel and Judah turned to idolatry and sin...God sent Prophets to warn them...where are the prophets of today? Where are the Billy Grahams, Johathan Edwards, DL Moodys, CH Spurgens, the Whitfields?? Have we, as a nation gone so far down that it is a lost cause?


Are our Assyrians baring down on us?

[Murph]

maybe revival starts with people like us? The Holy Spirit moving in just ordinary people?

[Keith]

Revival isn't coming prior to the Rapture. We're the evangelists of today, going out onto the 'Information Superhighway', but the problem is fewer and fewer are listening.

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Timothy 3:13)

It won't be till during Tribulation that revival, and death for their faith will come.

"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands...What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?...These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7:9, 13-14)

[Murph]

frustrating as "do da" too...not listening and making fun of what we are saying...

but I kinda disagree with you. Revival is always possible if people will pray and repent...turn back to God...

it is the probability at this point...it is possible, but not probable...

[veterinarian]

I have been thinking about this quite a bit, and I wonder if we are starting to witness how deluded people will be during the Tribulation.

I just cannot see how people continue to follow something that only causes them pain. Why don't they want to be free?

[Murph]

I have been thinking about it too...didn't know till you posted about it and I saw it on the news...more than half of this country is in a drought...

If the corn crop and other crops fail...we are going to be paying huge prices for food and many other things...

yet like you are saying...nobody outside of a few reconize that God is trying to get our attention...

and when we say something about it we get called fanatics...

It has already started, dear sister. May God take us home before things get bad!

The above info is from Bill Koenigs Watch.org.
We see patterns like this all the time.

Other than this info being reported on his website, and possibly by others,
we don't see that person or persons bringing it to the attention of America. Thats why I used the example of Billy Graham and his speaking to millions.

Perhaps it is in Gods plan to do it this way. The statistics might shock us if we knew the number of un-saved who find this info on the internet. They might not come to salvation, but they are reading it and thus being warned.

As individuals we should always be ready to converse with folks who just might be wondering "whats going on".

A simple question like: "do you think this is Gods doing" might let you know very quickly where folks stand. It is better to listen for a bit to see whats on someone elses mind and in their heart.

[Murph]

Still...I am praying for a revival, against all odds.

I am praying the reason that the United States isn't mentioned in the end times prophecies is because the "greatest revival" occured and then the rapture...

leaving very few people in the United States of America...

I am going to continue to pray for another revival like the ones on the 1700 and 1800s and that so many come to and come back to Jesus that the Rapture leaves only a few behind!

Amen!

Revive us O Lord! In Jesus name I pray...amen.

[Murph]

I pray Psalm 85:4-13 ...

"Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away thy indignation toward us!

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou prolong thy anger to all generations?

Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Will you prolong your anger to all generations?

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation.

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other.

Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.

Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way."

In Jesus Name,
Amen.
