We Are One Nation Under God

From Dutch Sheets: 
[My brother, Tim Sheets, released this message to his congregation yesterday. Every Believer in America needs to take this stand today!]
“The Lord asked me a question this morning. He said, ‘What are you going to do about the golden calf moment that just happened in America?’ Well, I didn’t know what He meant. I knew what the golden calf was in the Book of Exodus. I began to think about what led to the golden calf moment in the Bible. Moses had gone up the mountain to get the Ten Commandments. When he came down, they had made this idol. They had decided they would no longer be under God’s rulership. They had decided not to be under Jehovah, but under Baal. They chose to be under a demon power and they cursed the nation of Israel. 
“You may or may not know that the Democratic Convention was held last week. During two caucus meetings, the Pledge of Allegiance was recited, but the sentence, ‘One nation under God,’ was omitted. In doing that, those representatives purposefully stated that they were choosing not to be under God. I ask you, ‘Do you want to be under God or not?’
“The Holy Spirit said to me, ‘Are you going to let that word curse stand?’ I felt that question in every fiber of my being. Are we going to allow deceived people to curse this nation? It will bring a curse. I am personally not going to let that stand. When we hear blasphemy, which is what that is, we must engage. We must rebuke it and ask God to forgive the sin and heal our land.
“Jesus had people coming against Him all the time. He had demons after Him. The Bible details how Beelezebub came after Him. At one point, He asked His disciples, ‘What are people saying about Me?’ They answered, ‘Some say you are John the Baptist that has come back from the dead. Others think You are Elijah that has come back.’ Then He said, ‘Who do you say that I am?’ 
“I am asking the Church that question today, ‘Who do you say He is?’ Peter had answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!’ Jesus replied, ‘Flesh and blood didn’t reveal that to you. My Father in heaven did.’ Then He said, ‘On this rock, I’ll build My Ekklesia. And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.’ To be the true Ekklesia, you must say who He is!
“Is this nation one nation under God or not? We must raise our voice and declare that it is!
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek… The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” (Romans 1:16, 18 and 21; NIV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
  • We, the Ekklesia, must corporately rebuke this curse. Every voice must be heard!
  • We must state who He really is.
  • We must state who we really are as the Church and as a nation.
  • We must break the curse and say, ‘No way is Baal going to rule over us!’ If the Ekklesia forbids it, it will be forbidden. If we allow it, it will curse the nation.
  • Say, ‘We are one nation under God and we desire Him in America. We acknowledge His love and care, concern and watchfulness over us. We do not reject Him, but we embrace Him and ask His forgiveness for those who have publicly rejected Him.’ We say, ‘They do not speak for us. Forgive them, Lord. They don’t understand what they are doing.’
  • Declare the Lordship of Jesus over your state and over the whole of the United States!
A prayer you can pray:
We come before You Holy God and righteous Judge. We stand before You King Jesus. You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We come as the Ekklesia and repent for the sin of our nation. We are so sorry that You were blasphemed last week at a gathering representing millions of Americans. Forgive us. Forgive this land for this hideous sin. We repent in Jesus’ Name. 
With the authority You have given the Ekklesia, we break this curse! No throne of iniquity will rise and curse this land. We bind and forbid this curse to take root in this nation. Lord, we ask You to remove evil leaders that would dare to do this. Remove the evil culture and warped philosophies that reject You and hold people in the bondage of sin. We break demonic doctrine off our government. Break them free from the darkness and let them see Jesus. Bring them into the Kingdom of light.
We say, “We are one nation under God.” We desire You in America. We acknowledge Your love and care, concern and watchfulness over us. We do not reject You, but we embrace You and ask Your forgiveness for those who have publicly rejected You. We say, “They do not speak for us. Forgive them, Lord. They don’t understand what they are doing.” Forgive our sin and heal our land, dear Lord Jesus. Amen.
Today’s decree:
We are one nation under God and God is welcome in America!

A powerful message and one that is absolutely necessary if we are to survive the madness. Thank you.

Rev. Paul said...

Vicki - He said it better than I would have. And you are quite welcome.

Suz said...

Seriously?!?!??

HOW do ya even say the Pledge without saying "under God"????

I just have no words!!!

Except to ask isn't it Election Day yet??

Hoping and praying Lord God Almighty takes mercy on these United States, after smiting those idiots, firmly!!

Rev. Paul said...

Suz, remember that in 2016, the DNC voted to omit a reference to God from their platform, and booed the motions to keep Him in. This year, the majority flat to refused to mention Him at all, although about 1,000 dissented. (I'd suggest that those thousand folks should reconsider their political affiliation.)

Reverend, this is the surprising thing to me. There is some element of Christians out there, or even non-Christian/Classic Liberals, that can obviously see that the party they support violates their values and morals. Yet they continue to support them. I wonder why that is.

Thank you for posting this. I'm saving it and printing it, and passing it around.

I never thought that I'd have to be a "Missionary of Christ", but if He wills it, I'll do my best.

Old NFO said...

Well done!

Rev. Paul said...

TB, the Bible refers to them as carnal Christians, living according to the flesh, and not of the Spirit. Or else they may not be Christians at all, merely calling themselves by that title because they occasionally go to church... or their parents did.

Rev. Paul said...

“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Rev. Paul said...

Amen.

There is a certain family member on my hubby's side who insists on bringing up that "under God" wasn't part of the Pledge originally and shouldn't be there now.

I usually just ignore him.

Once Congress adopted it, it became official. That was some 75 or so years ago, so opinions are a bit superfluous. 😏
