December 14th, 2012 a monster took a loaded gun into Sandy Hook Elementary school. With that gun he did things that shook this nation to it's core. This monster took the lives of 20 precious boys and girls without warning, without sane reason, without second thought. People are saying this all could have been prevented if gun laws were more strict. If he had the proper mental treatment he appeared to have needed. What should our response be to such a horrible tragedy? Many people are questioning where God was during all of this. I believe Mike Huckabee said it marvelously when he basically said that God was there in the teachers who protected those children and the authorities who responded. God was there when those little children arrived at Heaven's gate. He is there to comfort their families and friends who were left behind. He is here and He is not silent. He is trying to wake up His city on a hill. Some are trying to say that we should be glad for God casting His judgement on our nation. I believe this nation is being judged. But I believe in no way that we should celebrate that judgement. We need to be mourning and praying for our nation! We need to take back what was stolen by the enemy! Our people are perishing for lack of knowledge! (Hosea 4:6) We have rejected that God had anything to do with our history! We have thrown Him out of our schools! We have taken His laws out of our courtrooms! His holy righteous justice is no where to be found and we dare ask "Where was God?' It is time to rise up brothers and sisters. It is time to do more than sit in our Church pews and pray that things in this world get better because I hate to break it to you, sweetie, but things will never change until the Church, the beautiful bride of Christ, says ENOUGH! It is time for the men to stop acting like boys. It is time for the mothers to take care of their own children. It is time to start taking a stand and remember what the Church was born to do! American Christians think persecution is being made fun of or being in uncomfortable situations. Persecution is being stoned, sawed in two, beaten, watching your house burn down in flames, being separated from loved ones. I cannot remember the last time I heard of anyone in America have this happen to them. This is not a message of hate and anger. It is written in a spirit of brokenness and sorrow.
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
It is time to humble ourselves America. Will be shake our fist in God's face and say "We don't need you?" Or will we fall before Him and beg for forgiveness and let Him heal us?
