A Word for this Nation
(Jeremiah 15:16)
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, I ask you today to open my heart and my Spirit to receive what you have for me today. Let me hear Your voice clearly and obediently follow You. Use me oh Lord, for your glory and to advance Your Kingdom! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!
Then I said, "Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel. Should you not embrace justice, you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones; who eat my people's flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot? " Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.
This is what the Lord says: "As for the prophets who lead my people astray, they proclaim 'peace' if they have something to eat, but prepare to wage war against anyone who refuses to feed them. Therefore night will come over you, without visions,and darkness, without divination. The sun will set for the prophets, and the day will go dark for them. The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God."
But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin. Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness. Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the Lord's support and say, "Is not the Lord among us? No disaster will come upon us." Therefore because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets. Micah 3:1-12
If you want to sum up all of the warnings I have shared with you over the past 16 yrs now, here it is. Focus on these words from the prophet Micah, "Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money."
The politicians who lead this nation are ALL bought and paid for. You can't raise hundreds of millions of dollars regardless of your party unless you have sold your soul. That is why NO politician will ever have the ability to deal with our real problems which are spiritual and not political.
Just like in the OT, today's "priests," the high profile men and women of God, do NOTHING for free. You pay to go to their events, buy their books and tapes, get trinkets in return for your love gifts, so they can live like the rulers of small nations in their mansions, luxury cars, and private jets.
Sadly, most prophets today turn the Word of God into a Christian psychic friends network. They are little different than the businesses with the neon "palm reader" or "fortune teller" signs. They tell you want you want to hear in exchange for money.
I want you to go back and read these words from Micah again. Slowly. Take in each word. Few people fully comprehend the spiritual abyss this nation is in. In just my short 57 years on earth, I have literally seen this nation go from embracing God and His Truth, to mocking God and His Truth. GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED AND JUST AS THESE WORDS WERE TRUE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, THEY ARE TRUE FOR US!
In years past when this nation was in times of trouble, its' leaders and people called on the name of God. Now, the Almighty is silent as they call on Him, living in open rebellion to Him and His Truth. However, once again God our Creator will hear the cry of His people and shower them with His grace and mercy!
The prophet Jeremiah said in 15:15, "When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty."
GOD HAS TOLD ME, "THE GOOD NEWS I HAVE FOR YOU THIS DAY IS THAT MY PEOPLE IN THIS LAND I HAVE SO RICHLY BLESSED WILL RISE UP ONE LAST TIME. WHILE MY WRATH AND JUDGMENT IS BEING POURED OUT ON THIS WICKED NATION, MORE AND MORE EACH DAY, IT WILL BE UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THAT WRATH AND JUDGMENT THE PEOPLE WILL RESPOND LIKE THE PEOPLE OF NINEVEH. THEY WILL GET ON THEIR KNEES, PUT ON SACKCLOTH AND ASHES, REPENT OF THEIR SINS, AND TURN BACK TO THEIR CREATOR AND MY TRUTH! THERE WILL BE A SEASON WHEN MY WRATH AND JUDGMENT WILL CEASE AND A GREAT HARVEST OF SOULS WILL BE WON TO MY KINGDOM!" THUS SAYETH THE LORD GOD.
I love you and care about you so much. Our time is very short. Our only hope as a nation is to turn back to God and His Truth. We have been under God's judgment for several years now, and as each day passes that we don't repent, it will only get more severe. The eternal souls of men are at stake. This nation, like Nineveh, will ultimately be destroyed for our sins and wickedness. However, there is coming a season of repentance and a mighty harvest of souls that will be won to faith in Christ.
MY FRIEND, GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSON, AND WHAT HAPPENED IN NINEVEH (modern day Mosul in Iraq) 2800 YEARS AGO...WILL HAPPEN IN THE UNITED STATES!!!

In addition, I have provided the links to the Jonah Project and Jonah web page established in 2008, and the Remnant and the Remnant web page established in 2011, both designed to share the only hope and only answer for this nation. Please take the time in the coming days to read the content on these links that God poured out through me to open the hearts and minds of people to turn back to the Almighty and His Truth or suffer his ultimate wrath and judgment!
