I am going to DC this Wednesday-- will spend time at the Capitol Building, Supreme Court, and White House after attending the Free Congress luncheon. Please pray.)

"Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness." (Proverbs 25:5)
This is true of every aspect of human civilization, from the family, business community, right to the "top" of government. The current American President has surrounded, and continues to surround himself with, "the wicked," men and women who are amoral. If someone chooses to do this, one can only come to the conclusion--- that person himself/herself is, "the wicked." Wickedness in Biblical Theology is anyone who does not submit to the Living Triune God by embracing, following, and obeying Jesus Christ as the Only Savior of mankind, the Only King of the Universe, of men and nations, and the "God-Breathed" Words of God as the only rule for personal, national, and international Law. Argument against this is futile.
America has chosen to be led and government by wickedness. We allowed this most demonstrably when we allowed, "the wicked," Supreme Court to take the Prayer of Jesus out of our state school system, and a year later to take the "God-Breathed" Word from that same educational system. We cannot blame the politicians who appointed the Court. If America is, as Abraham Lincoln said, a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people," then the responsibility is, you got it-------------- "the people!" Yes, that which I grew up with, that tradition of starting every single school day in the United States of America with a reading from the, "Breath of God," ended in 1963. More than saying we took the Bible out of the schools, the American Church should realize it was the very, "Breath of God," to which America said---------------- NO!
In spite of this tragedy, the other day I was reading, receiving the, "Breath of God." At some point I had an "experience" of which I cannot remember its equivalent. I had a real sense that a new "awakening" is coming, not of the Jesus' Movement nor Charismatic vein, but more like those of the 18th and 19th centuries, where the Holy Spirit convicted, "of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment," and, as the hymn says, "sinners be converted, and Thy Name glorified." I am holding on to this. Regardless of the details of this revelation, I know what it has done in me------ renewed.
Father, in Jesus' Name, let that which You have shown me "happen." Amen.
