You would think that we Americans would understand that God is removing His hand from us—the various plagues and pestilences, which we have not seen the end of yet; ISIS; the troubles in the public schools; the destruction of our system of immigration; the squabbling at the highest levels of government; the tornadoes and freezing temperatures.
We can’t seem to understand that God is displeased with our country because of sin and the rejection of Christ and the Bible. Being an older person I can remember when our nation was more intact.
If I am hearing the Lord correctly, matters are going to become much worse.
This morning, Sunday the 16th of November, 2014, there was a spirit of rejoicing in the church. I looked up to the Lord to see what His opinion was. Much to my surprise, the Lord Jesus said, “Death and destruction.
I was standing at the back of the congregation. I looked straight ahead at the front wall of the auditorium, which is of stone. This is my custom when I want to be sure I have the mind of the Lord for the morning service.
You know what I saw? and I have never seen it before. There was the Grim Reaper, scythe and all. Also, there was what looked Jesus pouring something out of a bowl.
The 91st Psalm tells us that we need not fear plagues and pestilences. So thinking about what I had received this morning, just before preaching, I concluded the Lord was telling us that there would be plagues and pestilences, such as Ebola and Hemorrhagic Dengue Fever, or Influenza, but that He is able to keep us free from these, or to heal us if we contract them.
There was such a happy mood on the congregation that I felt uncomfortable, to say the least, to tell them what I was seeing. But a pastor has to tell the people the good and the bad. So I told them what I had seen. Surprisingly, we continued in a happy mood. That is just like the Lord, isn’t it. When we are obedient, He takes care of the details.
