STATE OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH

INSIGHT ANALYSIS: STATE OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Malachai 3:16-17

Commentary by John Mcternan

It is extremely difficult to document God's righteous judgments on America, and at the same time see the vast majority of the church fast asleep. In some circles my message is totally rejected, but mostly the warnings I have issued since 1987 are ignored. In my three books God's Final Warning to America, Israel: The Blessing or the Curse and As America Has Done to Israel; plus all the links I have shown on this blog, there must be over 100 same day occurrences of national sin and a horrific disaster.

I am at the point of believing that no warnings from the LORD will penetrate the church and cause it to rise up in repentance and power. It appears America will have to be destroyed before there is a major stirring in the church. There are numbers of individuals who see God's direct hand of judgment on the nation, but how many pastors or church leaders are warning the people and crying out to God?
There is a very heavy spiritual blindness over the nation. It is like a dark fog. Of course, the unbelievers are in darkness. But, I see little difference between the unbelievers and those that claim the Lord Jesus as their Savior. When it comes to Israel, huge sections of the church believe in replacement theology and that God has no prophetic plan for the nation of Israel.
God has taken the Jews back to the land and Israel is once again a nation, and the replacement people still remain hardened in their false doctrine. The result of this situation is that they are totally blinded to God judging America for dividing the land of Israel. Until these people repent of this horrible false doctrine, they are unable to cry out to God in repentance for America. They just go about their lives completely oblivious to the judgments raining down on the nation.
Then there are those that refuse to believe that God judges today. Their argument revolves around God's love and a loving God does not judge. While it is true that God is love, He is also HOLY! These people seem to live without the fear of God and an understanding of His holiness. The result is that judgments can be raining all around them, and since they have no fear of the LORD, they are unable to make the connection. The loss of the fear of God is the hallmark of the American church.
Then there are those that are worldly and love this world system. They become dead to God and His word. They love the world and do not want to see it judged. They seem to have a form of religion, but are anchored in this world.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. What is so ironic is that God is in the process of destroying what they love so much. There is just a general malaise over the church.
I believe many pastors are afraid to warn because of the fear of ridicule from those who reject the idea of judgment. They want to go along with the crowd and be popular.
It saddens my heart to see America destroyed in judgment because the church slept. God does not want to destroy America, just as He did not want to destroy ancient Israel, but the church is giving Him no choice. If the American church is so dead to God, what good is it and the nation? We have lost the flavor of salt; therefore, is cast out and trampled underfoot of men! If the church will not repent and cry out to God for mercy and one last outpouring of His Holy Spirit, why should God spare the nation in judgment.
America has killed 50+ million of His babies and where was the church? America is marrying homosexuals and actually promoting sodomy from the pulpits and what is the church doing? President after president bullies Israel to divide the land and Jerusalem, and where is the church. I can go on and on with items like this.
Are there prayer meetings with fasting and pleading before the LORD for mercy and power: NO! I am challenging every pastor and leader who reads this blog to act like a real shepherd and not a hireling. There is NO time left with the LORD. It is act now or watch the destruction of America.
If America were a nuclear power plant it would be in core meltdown. All the warning devices would be alerting the people of the danger as alarms would ring and warning lights flash. There would be red lights blinking on gauges and computers showing danger.
THE CHURCH IS AMERICA'S WARNING SYSTEM AND WE ARE NOW IN CORE MELTDOWN! THE WARNING APPARATUS IS TURNED OFF. IT IS NOT WORKING.
The religious game is over as God is about to deal with all the false doctrines and teachings about Him. National judgment is reality for a nation like America that turned from the LORD and became vile.
I wish that somehow through the Internet all of us who are like-minded and fear the LORD could come together in prayer, fasting and repentance. If the structured church will not do it, we as small groups must. God is looking for people to stand in the gap for the nation. Please stand in the gap as you have no idea what it is like to fall under the judgment of the holy God of Israel. What we are now seeing is just the tip of what is coming.
Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
I am asking that you confront your pastors and church leaders about the judgment and need for fasting, prayer and national repentance. If necessary, print out information from this blog and confront them.
Sin has reached such a level, that Congress is thinking of supporting a national Day of Silence in support of the homosexual agenda! Congress to vote on 'Day of Silence' This is the chance for every Christian to call and say no!
Listed below are articles about the advancement of the homosexual agenda from just the last week! Look at the flood of evil that is pouring into America. This can only happen because the church is dead to God and without power. Satan is working full time to destroy lives and America. The LORD has warned and ready for judgment. It is time for the church to act like the church of the living God; to rise up in boldness with power; to make a stand for the LORD that will shake this nation to its core, and to win the lost to the blessed Redeemer the Lord Jesus. This is what the church is called to do and not play religious games. If the church does not rise up before the LORD and intercede and cry out in repentance for mercy and His power, this is the immediate future of the United States:
Isaiah 1:4-9 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
We live in a time very similar to when God destroyed ancient Israel. God was well aware of those that feared him during that time. Those that cried and sighed over the wickedness of the people and how it offended God's holiness were protected. When judgment came, those people were spared:
Ezekiel 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
You that walk in the fear of the LORD cry and sigh over the abominations of America. May God then bless and protect you. May He guide you to keep you out of harms way.
God bless you.
