Prophetic Words Concerning America and the Church in America

“Hey, All I want is the Good Life!”

2 Chronicles 12:1-5

Rehoboam and all Israel forsook the law of God. Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem because they had been unfaithful to the Lord.

Shemiah, the prophet, spoke to Rehoboam and said, “You have forsaken Me, so also have I forsaken you to Shishak.”

- America has publicly forsaken God’s ways.

- America has forsaken God and looked to man to be our help and our aid. We see this exampled in our last election – BOTH sides looking to a man to be the answer to America’s problem.

- If we continue in this way God will forsake us to the help and aid of the man we have sought to be our help.

Verse 8

“But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

- If we are forsaken by God to the aid of man America shall come to know the difference between the blessings of serving God and the bondage of the rule of man.

Verse 12

“… conditions were good in Judah.”

- America is willing to accept the bondage of the rule of man AS LONG AS we get “good conditions” in our lives.

- America’s heart is set on possessing “good conditions” and NOT on keeping God’s ways. We see this exampled in our last election as our votes were based upon who would keep us in the “good life” and NOT upon who would make righteous and godly decisions. Abortion ceased to be a major concern as America – including the church – voted.

- America in her pursuit to keep the good life is forsaking the abundant blessings which come from following God and keeping His ways.

- America is forsaking the abundant blessings of God for the “good” brought through a man.

- America is settling for the “good” brought through a man and NOT pushing to the perfect which comes only from serving God.

Verse 14

“… did not set his heart to seek the LORD.”

- America has ceased to set her heart to seek the Lord.

- America’s heart has turned from seeking God and is now set on a pursuit to keep the “good life”.

To the Body of Christ in This Hour

Romans 12:1-2

“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

- Let us repent and turn from our pursuit of the “good life”.

- Let us repent and present ourselves as living sacrifices to God.

- Let us pursue God and His perfect ways – discerning what is good, acceptable and perfect.

Act 17:26-27

“and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, 27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;”

- We have been appointed by God to live in this day and in this nation of America that we should seek God.

- Our God given destiny is to be His light in these perilous times in America.
