I told people in 2000 GW bush wasn't the christian he made himself out to be. People poo-pood me then and they elected him and then Christendom fell asleep they basically said 'wake me in four years to reelect him' we ended up with of of the worst expansion of government powers under him (later expanded upon by Obama but W led the way). Only after 8 years did people finally wake up to 'maybe he isn't the christian we thought he was'. I said in 2016 that unless we see the church go out and really fight to change things spiritually in America I would rather Hillary win and get the judgment over with than elect trump (who I did think would be POLITICALLY good for US) and have the church go back to sleep since our judgment then would be WORSE for having squandered our reprieve.
I am NOT seeing spiritual change just political. Politics and the economy and the culture are but mere SYMPTOMS of the SPIRITUAL disease and treating the symptoms without treating the disease does nothing! It is like taking a aspirin for the headache cause by a massive cancerous brain tumor. It does NOTHING for the tumor but mask the pain. You have to treat the tumor. We are taking the aspirin but refusing to treat America's tumor. In the late 70's and early 80's the church sold it's soul for political power and influence and we still believe THAT is the way to win back America. We are ready to fight but we are using the worlds rules. We seeded ground to the world on so many issues over the years and now we are paying the price.
Satan started working his plan for America in the last half of the 1800's (1870's at the latest) and has been slowly progressing us along. HE knew where he was going but we couldn't see the big picture or put another way we couldn't see the forrest for the trees. every change was small so it didn't seem like we were that different than before but if we had bothered to recall look back not just 5 years at a time but 20-30 or more at a time we might have started to notice things. (even when people told us where this was heading we joined the world in saying that wouldn't happen. or saying 'that can't happen in a christian nation') We disengaged culture now we find ourself hurting. We seem to think our only job was to win souls to christ and in all other things we let the world take care of itself. It isn't like we have dominion over it or something. Oh wait WE DO!!!
True bible believing christians are few and far between these days. of the 2 1/3 Billion who claim the title of christian I would estimate 3.5-5% are truly christian. truly the way is narrow and few that find it. someone wrote somewhere recently we need another Jesus movement -ah no with all the pagan music it brought and the casual approach to God that is NOT what we need! What we need is a new AWAKENING! a massive coming to God on a national scale. But until the church starts turning to God until we start looking to HIM to solve the problem and not our politicians we won't have one. God almost always partners with man in what he does but man MUST do his part. One so called preacher teaches 'sit back and let god do it all' (he has commercials were he basically states this) but that isn't how God has always worked he expects you to do your part.
I just hope that when God's judgment falls on America that it will be swift so whatever is left can turn to him. An EMP might be the best thing for America since we would be force to rely on God to help us. America can't escape the fire that awaits her but maybe she can live through it and come out of it refined instead of destroyed. I don't know how your grid is whether it could stay up to a EMP but maybe a EMP would help Australia too. By taking all modern conveniences away we only have each other and God maybe then we will all finally come to him. Stiff-neckedness isn't just an ancient Israeli trait. Christianity flourished in the first few centuries under persecution but became fat and lazy under comfort. Maybe the church in the west needs to have persecution again, or at the very least great hardship, in order to shine again. A rough diamond need to be worked on heavily before it shines. some might object say we just need a little polish but with as backslide and worldly as the church has become we are closer to a rough diamond than a dull lightly scratched one. You can put a tuxedo on a leper but he is still a leper. A polishing won't help us. We need a major overhaul. BUT until we open our eyes, collectively, and see our backslidden, worldly, LAODICEAN state we can not change.
