Now God’s message to us this day.
God Blessed America
In the latter part of the 1400s, Christopher Columbus dreamed and hoped to discover a new all water trade route between Europe and Asia. For over three hundred years, most of the products that the Europeans received were shipped or imported by land. Sometimes this would take over a year, before they would arrive with the goods. The growing demand for these imports played a great part in the discovery of America.
In 1492, Columbus set out on the first of four great voyages which he would make. He sailed under the flag of Spain, and began to look for his all water trade route. On the morning of October 12, 1492, Columbus landed on an Island and went ashore; he called the name of it San Salvador, now known as the Bahamas. As they reached the shore, the first thing Columbus
did was with his men, kneel down on the sandy shore,
and thank God for their safe voyage. After Columbus returned and told of this new land, many set out to see it. They came in search of wealth, and power, but most either died or left broken.
Spain came searching for gold, and wealth, but they were stopped by England. Sir Walter Raleigh spent his entire fortune trying to explore this new world, but failed. He is credited for naming the state of Virginia.
Just after Columbus discovered this new world, conflict broke out. The conflict was in Europe, and during that time, most people were Roman Catholics. The conflict started when a group of men began to question some of the beliefs and practices of the Church. These men were the ones who started the Reformation, or Protestant organizations. Two of these men were, Martin Luther, and John Calvin. The Catholic Church called it a revolt, but Protestants called it the Reformation. The results were wars, and many individuals were burned at the stake during this time. England then under King Henry the eighth, set up the Anglican Church. Everyone regardless of belief was to attend and contribute to this State Church. There were those however, who would not follow this Church, these were called separatists, independents, and conformists. The Pilgrims were one of these groups.
The Pilgrims left Europe and came to this new world to worship God! They wanted freedom to serve God as the Word of God had led them too! The day after they anchored off shore of this continent, was a Saturday, and the next day Sunday, was spent on board the ship in prayer and thanksgiving. They survived and grew, when two nations had failed. But they survived and grew because:
1- They started with God
2- They had faith in God!
3- They loved God!
4- They had a devotion for each other!
America then grows and there is a need for education, the education to share the Word of God with their children and those about them. The first school was started for just that reason. The first text book was; The Bible. Their first teaching was that God in heaven was to be first in their lives, BUT, Where have we come to today? America, the land blessed so mightily by the Almighty; Where are we today? Surely every nation knows how blessed we have been for some 225 years. They know of our military might which protects us as a people, they know of our financial strength, most of the world nations have at some time or another been helped by America. But some still hate us because we are free from the bondage of religions! We serve the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, to save us from our sins. We wanted and still want freedom to worship God, anywhere, at any time. In the last few years however, something has changed!
What has changed? This is what has changed;
God Bless America?
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. the LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon the inhabitants of the earth."
Psalms 33:12-14.
What America was, and what she has become are two separate things. The fact that we have come
to the place where the Lord is now no longer this nations God, He is still the God of the people which believe in Him, and there are many in America who still serve him. Our purpose though in this country has strayed far from the purpose of the founding of America. But, there is still hope America! There is still time to return to our foundation, to the greatness that God can and will bestow upon us if we will follow the words of our text verses from
2 Chronicles 7:14, and Psalms 33:12-14. Yes, America can still be Blessed!
Yes, there is still time to come back to the God of our fathers! The God of our founders! Our God!
We must do as God has commanded us too, we must humble ourselves and pray and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven and heal our land. We must make the Lord God, our only God, and he must be in the leading of our nation, and then in the book of Malachi chapter three, we see our purpose in this message tonight;
We must Return to Him!
Read this verse with me if you will.
Malachi 3:7, "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of host. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?"
Malachi was specifically speaking to the nation of Israel who had forsaken Him, But I believe
today that God is using the same method of calling America back to her greatness for His glory, through these same verses.
There needs to be a return to God, and his ways. Come back to His Holy Word! A call to humble ourselves to Him, to seek His face earnestly and sincerely, a turning from our wicked ways, a cleaning up of sin, in us and in the laws which allow sin to be committed against God.
The Killing of unborn babies, murders, adulteries through sexual sins, and pornography, drunkenness across our land, sorceries (drugs) are everywhere, Thief’s, in all walks of life; lying from our leaders, and our clergy. Stand up Oh men of God and cry out for this nation to return to the One True and Living God, The Lord Jesus Christ!
Prepare to meet thy God people of America! Prepare to meet God unbeliever for judgment is coming one day, and that day may be soon!
Come to Jesus Christ dear unbelieving friends, confess Him as your Lord and Saviour right now. Ask Him into your heart and life before it is too late for you.
Receive Jesus Christ as your God!
Pray; Lord Jesus come into my heart and life. I believe that you died for me, and rose from the dead to save me from my sins. I repent of my sins, and trust you as Lord and Saviour of my life. In Jesus Name I ask. Amen!
If you have trusted Christ as Saviour, please write and we will rejoice with you in this great decision. We will also send you scripture helps to your new life in Christ.
