DeeGeesLifeBlog ~ Life as Art ~ Or is it Heart?

Picking up from where I left off last week in Renewing America For Jesus Christ, today I dwell somewhat on the more troublesome aspects of a nation which has unaccountably been run off the spiritual rails by an out-of-control Executive Branch Administration and Supreme Court Judiciary that has absolutely no restraints put on it by a majority Republican presence in both Houses of Congress. This is not good by any means, the reasons of which will be explored in the next few minutes. To recap, here’s how I ended last week’s blog:

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob warned Israel in Deuteronomy 6 and 8, don’t forget who you are as a people and who I am as your God. If you do, I will take you out of the land. We in America are guilty of the same ignorance; we have forgotten who God is and who we are.

Only one nation in the entire history of the world has journeyed down the same slippery slope of moral decline, corruption and depravity that America is on right now and survived. That would be God’s people, Israel. The reason? Each time they went down that slope God raised up someone to turn their hearts back towards him, and as we can read from the Bible, that happened many, many times to Israel. A sobering thought indeed and one that should send each and every one of us to our knees in repentant supplication to the mighty God of our needs. Repentance begins in a single heart. Mine. Yours. And everybody else’s. Do we not know? Have we not heard?

“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.” ~ Psalm 17:8-9

In my humble opinion, God’s judgment as of July 19 2015, is already in its first stages. It is because God has blessed America over the past 240 years by and through the unconditional covenant He made first with Abraham, then Isaac and then passed on to Jacob, whose name (after wrestling with God through the night) was later changed to Israel. The birthright blessing was given to two of the ten lost tribes of Israel who were taken captive by the Assyrians and eventually led to Northern Europe. Ephraim and Manasseh then migrated to England and America carrying with them the birthright blessings of GOD. These blessings became unconditional because of Abraham’s righteousness and obedience to GOD. God withheld the birthright blessings as He said he would for 1260 years, and then as He said, they would take effect for His chosen two tribes of the ancient “House of Israel” (the northern ten tribes) … God also stated that these descendents of Abraham would NEED to obey His commandments in order to KEEP their God-given blessings, which unfortunately, America and Britain HAVE NOT kept for the past 100 years or so. Thus God is taking away OUR blessings of national greatness and you see it everyday. For futher verification see The United States and Britain in Prophecy, you will be amazed at the FACTS…

“My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: They pierced my hands and my feet.” ~ Psalm 22: 15-16

Is God Dead? The audacity of it all…

Have you heard of “arterial tapping”, “flakka” or “cyberextortion”?  In America today, just about every conceivable type of evil that you could possibly name is growing, and we are even inventing new kinds of evil that the world has never seen before.  It is very easy for us to point to the looting and violence in Baltimore and call that evil, but there is far more to the social decay of America than just that.  The foundations of our society are rotting and decaying in thousands of different ways, and our biggest problem as a nation is what is found inside our own hearts.  We have rejected the values and principles that were handed down to us by previous generations of Americans because we believed that we knew better than they did.  But now look at us.  Our country is falling apart all around us, and we only have ourselves to blame.  Following the next scripture verse are a few examples of how evil is growing in America like a cancerous tumor…

“Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.” ~ Psalm 32:10-11

There is an epidemic of porn watching among employees of the federal government.  But even though they get caught, thanks to endless red tape it is extremely difficult to ever fire them.  For example, CBS News discovered that a top level employee at the EPA is still on the payroll even though he would watch porn at work between two and six hours a day … In the private sector, if you’re caught viewing porn on company time or intimidating a co-worker, you’d probably be fired immediately; not so if you’re a federal employee. A CBS News investigation looks at how hard it is for the U.S. government to discipline or fire employees who behave badly. With examples ranging from extravagant to explicit, civil service rules meant to protect public workers from political pressure may be backfiring, and costing you big, reports CBS News correspondent Don Dahler. At the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), red tape is preventing the removal of a top level employee accused of viewing porn two to six hours a day while at work, since 2010. Even though investigators found 7,000 pornographic files on his computer and even caught him watching porn, he remains on the payroll.

“My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. I will incline mine ear unto a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?” ~ Psalm 49:3-5

Welcoming gaze…

If an attractive woman approached you on the street and asked you to have sex with her, what would you do?  Well, an experiment of this nature was recently conducted for a YouTube video.  Incredibly, 30 out of 100 men that were approached were ready to have sex with the woman within moments of meeting her … The 19-minute-long edited video, which was filmed over seven days, shows the woman approaching a stream of men as they go about their daily business. Dressed casually either in jeans or a pair of short denim shorts with a skimpy top, she outstretches a hand and introduces herself to the men. After one or two comments are exchanged, she asks them: “Would you like to have sex with me?” The universal reaction from the men is largely bewilderment with many looking around to see if the question is a joke. Of the 100 men asked, 30 agreed to her brazen request and the pair promptly walk off in the direction of her house. What does this say about the moral state of the men in this nation?  You can watch the full video right here.  Apparently those 30 men did not have the slightest concern about what the long-term consequences of their decisions might be.  They just saw an attractive woman and immediately wanted to have sex.

 “I thought on thy ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.” ~ Psalm 119:59-62

Would you steal cookies from the Girl Scouts?  Perhaps not, but a lot of Americans are actually doing this.  The following are a few examples of this very disturbing trend … Across the country, several incidences of cookie theft have been reported. In St. Louis, Missouri, $1,200 worth of Girl Scout cookies were stolen from a 6-year-old girl and her Army veteran father. The cookies were stolen from the family’s SUV when it was parked in a downtown garage during a weekend trip to the city. In Bloomington, Indiana, $400 worth of Thin Mints and Samoas were stolen from the SUV of a kindergartner and her troop leader mom. The young girl’s mom had been driving all over town delivering cookies over the last week, so she’s not exactly sure when or where the theft took place — she just knows the cookies are missing. And the reports keep rolling in. A 10-year-old scout in San Jose, California, had a cash box ripped out of her hands as she and her troop sold cookies in front of the local grocery store. And in the city of Spartanburg, South Carolina, 5,000 boxes of girl scout cookies — worth about $19,000 — were stolen from the warehouse.

“Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.” ~ Habakkuk 1:3-4

Family ties go beyond color and prejudice…

So much of our social decay is rooted in the decline of the American family.  Sadly, the truth is that our families have been steadily deteriorating for decades.  The following comes from a recent article by Dennis Prager … Nearly half (48 percent) of American children are born to a mother who is not married. Forty-three percent of American children live without a father in the home. About 50 percent of Americans over 18 are married, compared to 72 percent in 1960. Americans are having so few children that the fertility rate fell to a record low 62.9 births per 1,000 women in 2013. And in an increasing number of states, there are now more deaths than births.

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” ~ Revelation 20:7-9

Ten Commandments on full display at Texas Capitol…

In closing, we proud Americans like to think of ourselves as an “example” to the rest of the world, and until recent years, that was in fact patently true, but since the events which have unfolded to the detriment of this great nation since January of 2009, it certainly isn’t the case anymore. In fact, much of the world looks at us and our behavior with utter horror.  They regard us as immoral, classless “pig people”, and they are correct.  Our society has become an absolute cesspool of filth, insouciance, deflection and corruption, and we desperately need to change our ways before further damage is done to this precious Constitutional Republic.

Jonathan Cahn, the author of The Mystery of the Shemitah, believes that America is making many of the very same mistakes that ancient Israel did … “They drove God out of the government. They worshiped idols and served other gods. They celebrated immorality and they persecuted righteousness. The blessings of God were removed and replaced with judgments, and now America has made the same mistakes.” Like the prophet Cahn, I believe that judgment is coming to America (in fact, is already here as I described in America on the Cusp of God’s Grace), and if we do not dramatically change our ways, we are definitely in the cross hairs of God’s wrath upon this nation. Right now, from this vantage point, there absolutely seems to be no signs that we are about to change our ways; in fact, it appears to be the exact opposite. God help us in our distress.
