When a Nation Turns Their Back on God

When a nation turns their back on God by rebelling against His Holiness and Laws, should they ask for HIs blessings without Repentance? If the National Day of Prayer is to focus attention to the Nation’s fallen condition, then that’s great. However, it seems that many want blessings without a change of heart. Just look at the prosperity gospels and how they preach. I am not sure God would have a listening ear to us if we just ask God to take away the COVID-19 or bless us with prosperity?   Here’s why.

Shouldn’t there be Repentance?

Shouldn’t there be repentance first?  Can we ask for God’s blessings without first taking responsibility for our sins as a nation?   As a matter of fact, it would seem that God is judging the USA by looking who has been given governorship of a great nation. Do you witness more lawlessness and restriction of freedoms and mandates dictated without logic? If God is sovereign, and controls nations Psalm 22:28 and we honestly look at news, wouldn’t it seem that we are falling off the cliff as the saying goes Job 12:23, Acts 17:26-27?

When People are Far from God

When a nation seeks their own welfare and begins to reject God by solving their own problems the way they seem fit, its called humanism. And then there is no revelation from God, a nation become callous, indifferent to God and degrades itself Romans 1:18.

And because many church leaders blend in with the culture, and there is no revelation of the holiness of God taught, the people cast off any moral restraint Proverbs 29:18 and do what’s pleasing in their own eyes!  Other words, the culture wants freedom without moral boundaries.
