America is a nation no longer under God's blessing
God promises us that righteousness exalts a nation and sin makes a nation a reproach before the people and, by implication, before Him as well. In Deuteronomy 28, we have an example of this. God promises to bless Israel if they followed His commands (see verses 1-14). Then, in subsequent verses, God warned that He would curse them if they did not obey His commands:
But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you... Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever. Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything." (vv. 15, 45-47)
To understand how desperate America is, let's look at some of the curses listed in Deuteronomy 28, between verses 15 and 45.
Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.
Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. The Lord will make the plague cling to you until He has consumed you fro the land which you are going to possess...
The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart...
You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes. Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you shall not eat of it; your donkey shall be violently taken away from before you, and shall not be restored to you; your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no one to rescue them.
In America there is no doubt our cities have been cursed with civil unrest and confusion; people don't even know what gender they are today! We have been cursed through the impact of a proclaimed epidemic or plague.
We are dealing with rampant mental illness - madness, blindness of heart and confusion of heart. We have the curse of adultery, and we have even seen livestock slaughtered solely for the purpose of saving money, without anyone's intention of eating these animals for food.
Truly, America is a nation no longer under God's blessing. Why? She has ignored God's commands for decades. To fix the problem, we first must understand the nature of it and the lethal effects.
