"For thus says the Lord God: 'When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited,..then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit....'" (Ezekiel 26:19-20a)
Berlin Brandenberg Gate, May, 1945
Reichstag, 1945
I was walking over the site of Hitler's Bunker and was listening to our text. "God is not mocked," neither then, neither now, neither in Germany, neither in The United States of America or wherever you call home. Jesus' Word is true, because Jesus, "The Word of God," is true/Truth, as in, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." When are we really going to accept, believe and walk in all we profess?!?
No empire, kingdom, super power is eternal, regardless of what some Americans may think. History in not on the side of America, that is, unless America is on Jesus' "side." Come under the Reign/Rule of Jesus, and survival is ours, no matter what happens around us. This is true of us as individuals, but there is some indication from Matthew 25 that it can also be true of nations. What is it going to be in your nation? I posted on Facebook a quote from Obama's Chief of Staff, attacking Israel in a way which no American Administration has ever done. Judgement cannot be far off. Again, "GOD IS NOT MOCKED."
If you pray for us, you will be glad to know that I met with a missionary here in Berlin who has been here for 10 years. He said that for years it was like "plowing concrete." In the last couple of years, however, he has noticed a "breakthrough," much improvement. I am not taking all the credit for this, but we have been coming back here to Berlin for a month's mission since 2011; just sayin'. Forget false humility. You need to forget it also, and as never before believe that your presence, your prayers, your witness, you as salt and light are impacting everything around whether you "see" it or not. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works (not just here your "words") and glorify your Father in heaven."
Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You that I am a citizen of Your Unshakable Kingdom/Empire. Amen.
