Do you know what it means for a nation to be under fire from the enemy? I'll give you a picture of that from 1 Samuel 11:1-6. It means when you make covenant with the devil he destroys your children! Has America made covenant with a foul spirit of Satan's. Lets take a look through this teaching.
The Israelites had gone and encamped with the Ammorites. Jabesh said to Nahash, come, let us make a covenant with you people, and we will serve you. "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel. The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Hold off for seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you." So the messengers came to Saul and told the news in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.
Now there was Saul, coming behind the herd from the field; and Saul said, "What troubles the people, that they weep?" And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh. "Then the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused."
Now I want you to remember these are Israelites, they numbered 300,000 with 30, 000 of them from Judah. They are asking the Ammorites to make a covenant with them. God brought a great miracle to these people when he had parted the Red Sea and freed them from bondage. Yet they were considering making covenant with the devil. Saul was angry and God sent an urgency in his spirit to change this pact.
In this story, the King of the Ammorites was a vicious tyrant. The Israelites were vulnerable because they were separated by the other Israelites and they didn't have much recognition. They were in a vulnerable territory geographically. They said we want peace, so let us make a covenant.
The King of Ammorites said, It's contingent and you will have to serve me and I will be your master. I will pluck out the eyes of every child and woman in your nation. He wanted them to know what his plan for Israel was. My friends, the devil has the same intention for America today.
No one is exempt from the fire that is going on in the world today. It affects your family and your future. The fire of terrorism, violence and the Spirit of Nahash is alive today. Drugs, sexual immorality and ungodly living will not skip your community. It's called the fire of Humanism. It's removed prayer in our nation. It's removed our original constitution. If you can destroy the foundation of a nation then you can rule it.
Our forefathers never meant to remove these values from our schools. They drafted this great document to be permanent. The separation of church and state meant that the states could never force a government religion upon the people. Now we see the government trying to silence Christianity and allow the building of huge Mosques in America.
There are four things that the bible describes as fire in Proverbs. Fire is never satisfied. If you think evil has not come yet to the world, just wait until Satan releases his end time spirit onto the world. The only thing that will put this fire out is God.
1. The Fire of Morals:
Our morals are at an all time low, and our laws have been replaced with Anti-Christ laws, same sex marriage, abortion to the tune of 40 million. We have raised a generation of misfits and lawbreakers. We see violence in thieves today. They will steal from you and then kill you.
We don't give King Jesus any room in our schools. How can you teach social studies without the law and God's word? Our children have ungodly counsel in the schools and are being taught a mentality of secular humanism. It's an intellect and cultural movement that's based upon Greek philosophy from the Renaissance and is concerned about self indulgence. The nation is teaching that man is his own God. They call this progressive, but it's actually regressive and takes us back to the middle ages.
The US school system will be what the Anti-Christ uses to educate the mind to a trained mentality of the new age culture. This is making our children a menace to society instead of giving them morals and character. When you substitute God for humanism, we are in for a fall. Just like the King set out to destroy Israel, the devil is out to destroy us.
2. The Fire of Child Abuse:
The number one cause of death under the age of five is abuse. Their own mothers and fathers are killing them. Abusing them unto death is just like aborting your child. I don't endorse abortion, it is for it goes against God's word. The bible tells us to put off the old man and put on the new for you are created in the newness of him.
Within twelve days of conception there is a heart beat, and if there is a heart beat there is blood pumping. The life is in the blood. Where there is blood there is life. Their spilled blood cries out to God. We have given our children over to Molech. Don't give your child over to this demon.
The 6th commandment says, Thou shalt not kill. We have a generation of leaders in this nation that have turned their back on such destruction and many endorse it. Our nation is rooting to the core. Don't tell me you're a Christian and these things. It's what you do that proves you're a Christian.
We've got to learn what sin is in this nation again, because leaving the commandments and the law out has become the norm and been replaced with a brand of grace that says you can live anyway you want to as a Christian. The 10 Commandments are not optional. The moral laws reflect God's character. Every sin you commit has its origin in breaking God's laws and the first commandment.
Our leaders have sold us out by changing the laws our forefathers gave us to live by. Christians have done the same thing with God's laws. They stand behind the pulpit and say, I am this and that but are they washed in the blood and obedient to the word?
Any politician, church or preacher that doesn't endorse Jesus has violated the first amendment. I don't care how popular he is, he has broken the first commandment. The law must be understood if we're to remain a Christian nation. Not Buddhist, not Mohammad, not Confucius, but the one that cometh by the Father.
Paul would stand and preach Christ to the Pharisees, and they hated him. Paul never sold out the word of God for fear of man. God is our school master. No one can make it to heaven with the commandments alone but you need the blood of Christ with it. You believe Jesus is a separate God, but the word says he God that came in the flesh. Nothing but the blood of the lamb will wash your sins away. No other fountain I know can save you, restore you and heal you or regenerate you into the newness of him.
Jesus died to make us holy, and set us free from sin, and who is set free by the blood is free indeed. God is the source of life, and Jesus gives us that freedom to partake of that life force.
And your future is on fire!
3. The Fire of Violence:
People will deceive you if you if you look the other way. Do you see a red light that is called rage. It's origins come from violent movies that are killing, raping and stalking women. This is what our young men in this country watch and are influenced by. The prisons are full of these men that were caught up in violence and their lives have been snuffed out by sin.
You don't break God's eternal laws, they will break you and I can tell you that the natural laws are much to bear, but you will follow God's law are he will turn you over to man's law.
We've got preachers that say, we don't know if you should take God's word literally. But I've got a word for preachers like that and it's called the ALTER! They need to get back down there until the blood covers them and the word of who Jesus is is in them.
We will all give an account to God in the offices he has placed us in for the benefit of his Kingdom. Somebody has got to stand up and give a Clarine call!
4. The Fire of Pornography:
Pornography is addictive! You think just alcoholics and drug users need help, but people who are obsessed with porn is in just as bad a condition. If your obsessed with porn then you have got a grip on you. You've got some claws in you and you no longer are in control of yourself, but the spirit of Nahash has you.
That spirit says, I'm going to take my filth and put it in your nation, and I'm going to take your nation! Your future is on fire!
4. The Fire of Addiction:
Drug addicts will rob their own Mother to get a fix. I know a young man that killed his grandparents in order to rob them of their money to get a fix. They will give their whole their whole pay check to a drug dealer. The drug epidemic is real in this nation and it is right in your back yard.
Our Nation is on fire!
It's not just in the big cities anymore, it is the neighbor down the street. You could have a drug dealer, next door or even in the pulpit. Do you want this spirit to control your children. We better get back to God and righteousness and teaching the commandments again.
The people cried, Oh Saul do something. Can you imagine the urgency of that message? Where is the urgency of that message in our nation today? Where is "Thus saith the Lord" in our pulpits?
There will come a generation of preachers that will speak the truth that will set the captive free instead of coddle the people because they are more in love with their deep pockets than Jesus. Isaiah 58:10.
We are in a famine of the word of God. You don't need a sermon on prosperity, but a sermon about how the blood delivers! These are Shepherds, standing behind God's office and this grieves my soul. They need to be barking out, "Thus saith the Lord."
Our nation is under attack and preaching is a calling not a profession. A preacher is called to preach the whole bible, and not just the up lifting words that send you home still walking in your sin and that only make you feel good for an hour. We are to rightly divide the word, that means teaching,correcting, rebuking and lifting up.
The pure in heart shall see God, the whore monger in the church will not. Jesus will look them in the eye, with fire and there that will be a day of reckoning. I hope you hear my heart today, because we have got to get back to the spirit of God. We need a spiritual awakening and feel good messages do not bring about great awakenings but conviction in the heart to turn from old ways that rip through the churches is what brings about spiritual awakenings. Wake us up O'Lord!
We've got a lot of people leaving the church. The church has got to come clean with God. We need to be washed again in hyssop, the blood that cleanses us. We need an outpouring of God's spirit, a radical change in the church. When a radical change occurs in our churches then a radical change will take place in our nation.
We are not going to compromise on the spirit of Nahash. He's not going to pluck out the eyes of our children. Do you know what the Israelites did? They went down and beat the living daylights out of Nahash. If they can do that, so can we to save America.
