In the bible there is Hezekiah and there is Josiah
During the reign of Hezekiah the people repented during the time of Josiah the leaders repented. Judgement is coming and I am probably the person who needs to repent the most.
What I get angry at is with Christian Nationalism in believing in the fact that if we get Christian leaders into power such as Trump or others we can turn the nation around.
It is not supported in the bible. The bible says we need a revival of the average person in a democracy.
Daniel in the famous passage in Daniel 9 repents of the sins of his nation as if they were his own.
As I come from the Uk and I think the church is about as corrupt as the world those denomations such as the Anglican Church or Methodist Church or Baptist Church are just as bad.
Even if we did a revival the churches are about as corrupt as the world, how can we save the church from the world when the church is in such a bad state.
During the Scottish revivals people had a love of the bible and the word of God. I dont think I will ever get to see a revival in my lifetime but I need one personally.
It so breaks my heart to think that by a political leader such as Donald Trump or Constatine can save a nation
as the same thing has happened in our country we thought boris could save us from the eu and implement brexit and now both parties are as bad as they are as bad as one another.
We have only have one saviour and he is not going to share the glory with noone as the bible says love not the world nor the things in the world as the love of the father is not in you
1 John 2:15
On Not Loving the World
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
When is the church going to fight the battle on its knees rather than fighting in the ballot box.
People dont understand if we have a christian population and who are truly saved they are going to vote for someone who is truly saved
Whats the point of Praying for a christian leader to be saved if in the next election they will just put in someone evil because the vast majority of the people are evil.
How can we save the world when we are a church need saving
In England it is shocking if you go onto the baptist union or the joint publications site to see what christian churches are doing
I dont think I will ever see a true revial as I have struggled with sin in my own life and need support and need a spouse.
I wish Jesus could send his b52 bombers and invade my life with his love and attack the church with his love and the bible says unite my heart to fear his name.
The bible does not say may trust in chariots but some may trust in horses but we shall trust in the name of the lord of our god.
There are alot of things we are trusting in from politics and to are guns if you are in the states other than the name of the lord our god
It is one of the things that made me go out on the street evangelising as if people do not hear the gospel how can they repent and I know God can do it, I am a useless evangelist and I am useless at prayer and I am the worst of sinners like the tax collector in the bible
I think people I am including me trust everything else but in the name of the Lord
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Kings 18
New International Version
Hezekiah King of Judah
18 In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah[a] daughter of Zechariah. 3 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.[b])
5 Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him. 6 He held fast to the Lord and did not stop following him; he kept the commands the Lord had given Moses. 7 And the Lord was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. 8 From watchtower to fortified city, he defeated the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory.
9 In King Hezekiah’s fourth year, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and laid siege to it. 10 At the end of three years the Assyrians took it. So Samaria was captured in Hezekiah’s sixth year, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel. 11 The king of Assyria deported Israel to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in towns of the Medes. 12 This happened because they had not obeyed the Lord their God, but had violated his covenant””all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. They neither listened to the commands nor carried them out.
13 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. 14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: "I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand of me.” The king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents[c] of silver and thirty talents[d] of gold. 15 So Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
16 At this time Hezekiah king of Judah stripped off the gold with which he had covered the doors and doorposts of the temple of the Lord, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
