HOMOSEXUALITY and America…
I write this entry because recently as I have been praying, during deep times of prayer in the Spirit, tears come to my eyes as I pray for and think of America. It is the home of so many “Christians”… and yet the country is falling apart. Many people grow up believing that Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) were destroyed because of their rampant homosexuality. This is not true. Please read the following Scripture from Ezekiel 16:49-50, and as you read please think about America…
“Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.”
Think about America 50 years ago. Were people so overfed and fat in America 50 years ago? How were the morals? Think about old TV shows like “Leave It To Beaver” or “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Were the subject matters on TV always about sex and/or violence? Was there as much divorce and neglect in the family as there is today?
Do you think God is pleased with how America is changing?
Does this make you weep? I know the Lord is grieved, otherwise my spirit would not be so troubled.
I know if Christians in America will humble themselves and pray and fast, God will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land (2Chronicles 8:14). I pray for the sleeping giant that is the church in America to awaken and act quickly in prayer, fasting, and supporting God’s work. Revival has to start with someone. I pray, if you live in America, you will begin praying and fasting for God’s church there…
