SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel (NIV) 33:7 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will be saved yourself.
OBSERVATION: About 20 years ago, I was sitting in my office talking to the Lord. I had been involved in pro-life activities in my previous pastorate and was also in the current one. It seemed to me that we were just spinning our wheels. Our efforts seemed to have no effect…and it concerned me. We are taking something/someone being formed in the image of God and destroying it. I asked God, “If we do not do anything to stop this, what are you going to do?” Very clearly, He said to me, “I am going to bring one undocumented alien into your country for every child that has been destroyed in the womb!” I remember wondering how that could ever happen…but I am not wondering now!
APPLICATION: So what should we do now? 1. We should repent. He is a just God whose judgment fits the sin. He is bringing in generations to replace the generations we did not want! 2 We should welcome and value the people God has brought into our country. They are just as important to God as anyone else. 3. We should pray for a spiritual awakening for those who have come into our country. 4. We should help them become good citizens, working with us to build good back into this nation. 5. We should pray for 1,000 people with the anointing of Dave Wilkerson who will find a way to win the hearts of the gangs that have moved into our cities. 6. We should pray for people with money to build plants to make things that will bless our nation and the world.
PRAYER: Lord, send one more mighty revival to our nation. Let it start where we least expect it. I sense that we are quickly approaching the days of the book of Revelation. But use us to make these days count for the Kingdom! Amen.
