Look UP!

By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D.

Elections have consequences and so does turning away from God. President Trump just called upon America to bring God back into our founding as we approach our nation’s 250-year birthday. As we celebrate 250 years of freedom, we have been called to rededicate ourselves to the principles that gave birth to this land of liberty. We have been called to prayer and dedication as one nation under God.

The children of Israel demanded a King, an earthly King they could touch and feel good with and who would hear them in their wants (I Samuel 8). The people were rejecting the God of All Creation and were replacing God with a human monarch who would help them run the country through human strength — not Godly wisdom. They thought that a change in the form of government away from submission (cooperation) to God would bring them a great new day and changes in the nation. A man named Saul came along, and, well, Israel and the people did not fare well at all under his leadership; in fact, it was a disaster for the Nation of Israel and the citizens as individuals. We here in America have experienced a very similar path as a people and as a nation. We look for the slickest person to hold the various offices we have across this nation, NOT Godly individuals who place God first and by which the evidence is available for all to see.

The Lord impressed upon me to sound the Shofar of Warning to those who have ears to hear:

The people of the land named America will become more afraid than many are experiencing currently. They will begin to cry that they have no protection from the evil cast amongst them by horrible and wicked men and women who have chosen to sacrifice all good for evil ways and gains; who have chosen to compromise even mock and destroy God’s Word and His ways choosing the realm of darkness. The people will grow in increasing numbers their shouts of fear and anguish because nothing they seem to say or do makes and difference; their work bares little to no fruit.

The Lord of lords and King of kings says firmly, “Am I impressed with man’s weapons or war or man’s methods for control and power for their own pleasure? Am I impressed with the evil plotting and developed schemes of the followers of darkness to extinguish this land named America — this once ‘shining city upon a hill’ (Matthew 5:14)? The plots and schemes arranged in darkness by those who live in darkness are not lost to Me, they are clear in My eyes.”

The Lord is empathically calling all who have ears to hear to look UP and not merely see things as they appear in the secular realm. Look UP to Elohim — God Alone (Genesis 1:1; Numbers 23:19; Psalm 19:1 – He is the only supreme true God). Stop looking for answers to your fears and needs in the natural. Look UP to seek His direction how to travel thru the Valley of the Shadows in front of you. Hear the blowing of the Shofar of Warning…for the Lord is bringing this land named America to its’ knees to be humbled for walking away from God’s ways and the covenant He made with our founders. Make no mistake…the humbling upon this land named America has begun and will even receive more as He, the Lord, separates His church from the church-at-large. Soon those who have ears to hear will rejoice as sounds of victory shall be transmitted. The Lord has already begun the process of disciplining and strengthening those who choose to submit. He is teaching His Remnant to listen to His voice and not the noise of the multitudes. He is teaching His Remnant how to navigate treacherous waters and to walk through the Valley of the Shadows where you may only be able to see ten feet in front of you; beyond is pitch black until the Great Shepherd guides you into the next ten feet.
