There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2 KJV)
Tomorrow is our nation's Independent Day. As we celebrate the birth of our nation, we need to remind ourselves what made this nation to have such freedom. Were our founding fathers, who believed in God and built this nation under One God? Right now, this nation is under attacked, not by natural force, but spiritual. It is sad for us to see our nation has been turned away from our Heavenly Father and walked into sins.
I want to stress this further. Our nation has not been liked what she was in 90s, 80s, or further. Before I arrived to America in 1990, I went to school where I received spiritual food before taking a class. I don't know if they still practice or not. But our nation needs to go back to the basic of this nation was founded on. It is sad for us to see that many churches have been walked away from God and leading us to secular worldly gospel. When I turn some Christian channels, such as TBN and Daystar Network, most today's teachings are on Christian living and how we can get blessing from God. Paul said that some people have itching ears (2 Timothy 4:3). Do you know why Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas has the multimillion people each week? They want to hear what they want to hear from Joel Osteen instead from God through this preacher.
There is a different between a man of God who speaks from his own interpretation of the Bible or through the Holy Spirit. The preacher who speaks from his own interpretation of the Scripture does not convict our sins. John 14:26 gave us the duty of the Holy Spirit: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." We need the Holy Spirit to lead us the way. He is also a bridge gap between us and God. Paul said in Romans 8:26-27, "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
It has been too long for us to see that America had been #1 of the world, beside Israelite nation. If Hillary Clinton would decide to cut off our relationship with Israel when she'd become a president, our nation may need to face some consequences. This is not just her presidential talk. This nation has been blessed by God because we have relationship with Israel. God is holding back His wrath against this nation because our faithfulness to Israel and His Church.
We don't like to taste God's wrath upon our nation. It is sad to see that people face tragedies in vary places. Since I have been here in America, I see and hear many tragedies all over the world. Now, we have to protect ourselves from ISIS. Time is ticking. When we would hear the trumpet sound from above, we know that God is near to come to settle His government on Earth.
Are you saved? Are your love ones and friends saved in the grace of God through Jesus Christ? The purpose of this study is to help you to become closer relationship with Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (John 14:1-3.)
If you are lukewarm in your relationship with Jesus Christ and want to know Him as your personal Savior and Lord of your life, please consider asking Him to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life. Paul says, "That if you confess with your mouth, `Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believed and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." (Romans 10:9-10.) If you have done in your private room or workplace, then you need to tell to your friends or love ones about what you have done, so they may rejoice with you and want to have that relationship with Christ in their own life. There are many occults in the world, which do not know the love of God and His great plan for those who believe in Him. As it is written in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
