Message: Christians Unite As One

Hello My Friend,

Any true Christian will tell you that America was founded by Christians in search of a land where they could freely worship God in the way of the Bible without persecution. In fact, even our laws and Constitution were written within the laws of the Bible. America became great because is was one nation under God. Well, this is no longer one nation under God, little by little, it has taken a piece of God out of it, homes, schools, businesses, governments, and even churches have made deals with the devil, and sadly, we are now falling deep into the abyss of one nation under Satan. And this is not just happening in America, it is going on all over the world. We, as a nation of Christians cannot keep allowing all this evil, we must take a stand or there will be judgment. “At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” – Jeremiah 18:7-10.

then I will repent of the good,” God repents also, He will withdraw His protection of any nation who turns its back on Him. All you have to do is read the history of Israel to realize that America is no different, it was given to our forefathers by God Himself, many dying for the freedoms we have today. The reason there are so many religions in the first place was because of the very first amendment. The first amendment has been distorted so badly that the world has no clue what it really means, which means we are not bound to one religion as a nation, but if the Muslims had their way, we would all be under sharia law right now. Nations do not get overturned overnight, it happens gradually. In the beginning of his reign, Solomon did great, his heart was solely on God, and just like his father, he ran the kingdom under the authority of God’s Law. While Solomon became to be known as the wisest man in history, God saw him make one decision that was maybe not so wise

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days. And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.” – I Kings 3:1-4.

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt,” Not only did he become allies with Egypt, he married his daughter. Many nations make the mistake of making peace with the enemy so they can keep the peace among each other, while it may seem like a good thing, it is actually a bad thing. God has a good reason for not wanting His people to be joined together with those of a different faith, marriage or friendship, and this is not about those of different Christian faiths or Jews, at least, Christians and Jews believe Jehovah is God, this is about enemies joining forces, the enemy will always be the enemy. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” – II Corinthians 6:14-17.

Wherefore come out from among them,” Jesus has us in the world, not to be like them, but to show them who He is through our faithfulness to Him. Joining forces with the enemy only invites the evil in, and let me tell you, if you are not grounded in Christ, Satan will take over, and you will be powerless to fight against this kind of evil. It is so heartbreaking to see my country falling into the hands of Satan, I can, and will fight until my last breath on this, but it takes an army of God’s people to win this battle. Sadly, there are way too many Christians living in fear, or even worse, living among them, and if we do not get our act together God will send judgment. The Book of II Chronicles is the fourteenth book of the Old Testament/Bible and contains thirty-six chapters. The timeline for these events took place between 1015 BC to 610 BC. The author of the book is Ezra, and was written to the Jews who were in captivity in Babylon for seventy years. The purpose of the book was to record the events that took place in Judah that brought them into captivity. What we are to learn from the book is that the blessings God gives to us comes through humbling ourselves and seeking His wisdom in all that we do. Seeing where Solomon was headed, God thought it was time to have a chat with him, through a dream.

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.” – I Kings 3:5-6,9-14.

And if thou wilt walk in my ways,” You see, this was a dream, God would bless him with all these amazing things should he obey Him. No one is above God’s Law, whether a king, president, congressman, or layman, we must obey or suffer the consequences. God predestines that every single soul should come to know Him and receive His Son as their Saviour, but that does not mean they all will obey that Law. There are always consequences for breaking the law, eventually they will get caught and be judged. “For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” – Romans 2:11-13.

but the doers of the law shall be justified.” This is more proof that faith without works is dead. You cannot just sit there, pray for the best, and remain idle, and expect things to change. Oh, things are changing all right, and it is not for the better. This affects every Christian, their families, and every lost soul that does not know who Christ is. Saved, born again, Christians must unite as one, stop living in fear, stop listening to all the lies of the media and corrupt politicians, learn the truth, and start doing your part in telling it to the world, and that includes Jesus Christ. Solomon prospered greatly as king, he was honored and respected by his people and all nations.

Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing. Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge. And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.” – I Kings 4:20-21,25-30.

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart,” Solomon prospered greatly as king because he not only set his heart on God, he had Godly people united with him, and led his nation to set their hearts on God as well. Leaders, whether Godly or corrupt, will lead their nations in the way of their heart. A fallen nation can be restored, but it takes more than one leader to restore it, it takes one people united as one nation, and until that happens we are fighting a battle that no one will win. “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” – James 4:1-4.

Jesus Christ Magnified: “And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.” – I Kings 3:28.

Today’s Prayer: God, We, as a nation of saved, born again Christians, are in a battle that goes beyond the people of world, we are in a battle among each other, and a spiritual battle that keeps us fighting among each other instead of as one nation, or even worse, remain idle as we watch our country falling into the hands of Satan. Lord, lead us and guide us, give us the wisdom, discernment, Your strength, and courage to unite as one and teach the truth to the lost and backslidden. Put Your hedge us of protection around us, and shield us from those who are out to stop us. I ask these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.

God Bless You, I am praying for you,

Christina
