12:13: “Gather around and encircle Me, and I will tell you a story. One so wild that no one could believe it. This story is of a nation founded by the Lord. Given beautiful, shining land and nurtured by My hands. Blessed, blessed, and blessed some more. The nation grew into a huge mountain that towered over the rest of the nations, casting its shadow on them. But this nation spurned the Lord their God. They threw Him out of their schools and businesses, out of their government. They passed laws that broke His commandments and mocked His very creation. They called evil good, and good evil. Their lives shrieked disunity and gluttonous sin.
“But the Lord their God did not forget them.
“The Lord their God devised a plan, a brilliant plan to save the nation. He would take down all evil ones who opposed the nation, those within and those without. He would strip the nation’s enemies of their vast wealth and give it to the oppressed – His People. He would take down the nation’s wicked leaders and replace them with the righteous. In spite of all the wickedness of the nation and their treatment of Him, the Lord their God would LOVE them and nurture the nation back to health. He would send them a leader like none ever seen, a leader bold enough to stand against evil worldwide and fight for his nation’s rebirth. A leader rough and full of battle, yet whose knees would weaken at the sight of pictures of abused children stolen from their parents and made slaves to evil men. Many in the nation learn to love this leader, while many do not see My hand on him and oppose him. Evil men despise him – for they DO see My hand upon him, which terrifies them. But the Lord their God blesses his work, multiplying his efforts so that much is accomplished in little time. The Lord their God then releases His Spirit over the nation and the world, bringing prosperity and peace as He turns hearts to worship Him and obey His commandments. NEVER ONCE DID THE LORD THEIR GOD FORSAKE THIS NATION. But He REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT with the nation and brought her back to health as a Loving Father. And the nation was better than before, a stronger, higher mountain over the other nations. A nation blessed because of the Love they poured out to the Lord their God, and to other nations on His behalf.
“Oh America, your descent into apostasy against Me stretched over many years and decades. My rescue of you has come in only a short time in comparison, My turnaround of you now at warp speed. DO NOT TURN FROM ME NOW, AMERICA. Do not fail to see what I have done and am doing for you. Do not fail to see My Hand outstretched on your behalf, working in new and remarkable ways.
“I have brought you back from the precipice – and will now LEAD YOU TO GLORY. Do not miss it. Do not deny Me. DO NOT TURN AWAY MY LOVE FOR YOU. Do not judge My ways, or whom I choose to do My work. For I will use those whom you would overlook and deem unworthy. IN MY HANDS, ALL WHO SAY YES TO MY CALL ARE MADE WORTHY. All who say Yes will be healed – as I am healing your nation. Do not judge My ways – simply have eyes to see what I have done and am doing. PRAISE ME. THANK ME for saving your nation. Open your eyes to see the wondrous time in which you live. I AM an amazing, mind-bending God. You shall have NO other gods before me.
“Bless the Name of the Lord your God. Amen.”
