280 DAYS AND COUNTING FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

There may only be 280 Day of Religious Freedom Left

September 20, 2014

Greetings,
Over a month ago I wrote and tried to communicate to you the urgency of our plight in the battle of same sex marriage and where it was leading for us and our future.  The Supreme Court will hear and give place at the end of this month to determine if it will consider the cases for October, when they begin their new term.  And all things seem to point that they will have to take up this issue one more time due to the division in the circuit courts. 

May I paint a scenario for you?  Supreme Court determines to take up the cases and make one final ruling on same sex marriage across the board, one way or another.  In March, 2015 they will take up the cases and hear arguments from the states and lawyers.  In April, they write their answer and make their decision.  In June, 2015, they read their decision.  And as the court has gone, as well the states and nation, they will make same sex marriage the law of the land.  Thus, legalizing every abomination that God has condemned.  It will be the last nail in our coffin as a nation.  This ruling will thus impose upon every Christian, church and church organization to accept, compromise and make it a federal crime to oppose this sin and abomination.  IT will impose upon the churches to shut down, lest they be forced to perform and allow same sex marriages in their churches.  Any messages or speech against them will be viewed as a federal hate crime.  And everything that we have known as 'church' or freedom of religion will be no more. 

IN 280 days all this could come to pass.  And everything that you and I have known as worshipping the Lord will be undone.  The reasons of this I have dealt with before and pleaded with you to respond while there was still time.  I simply do not understand why there is no making the churches aware of this plight and danger; and why there is no action taken to bring this as a needful call to prayer each day and week among the corporate gatherings of our churches.  Thank God for those that have, but the majority is not responding nor informed on just how real this scenario could be. 

One of our great sins is procrastination.  The last ruling, the church and prayer leaders refused to listen and set appointed time to pray a year in advance.  Waiting til only days and weeks before the arguments to mention it and call for prayer.   And of course, everyone was busy on twitter and social media the day of the reading of the ruling.  And everyone had their 'editorial comments' afterward.  Brethren, do not wait.  Act now, while there is time to come more often and make more aware of this pressing issue.

I believe in preventive prayers.  Prayers that can prevent evil before it happens.  I believe Christ prayer in John 17:15, to deliver us from evil (the Evil One) is an example of this.  I believe the dedicating of our children as babies into the hands of the Lord is a demonstration of our faith that He is able to keep and deliver us from sin and Satan.  May we exercise now, for the next 280 days such a call to prayer.   And that on July 1, 2015, we can say, we have brought it unto the Lord, and HIs will has been done.  'The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the Name of the Lord.'

Our nation and the church has done much to provoke the Lord to anger.  We have seen remedial judgments continue to come against our nation.  Recent world events only make us sit up and pay more attention that our Lords return is upon us.  But neglect, apathy, lukewarmness, and prayerlessness should not be named among us.  Let us be obedient in doing all that is required of us, lest the Lord come and 'remove our candlestick'.  

280 days brethren, before we become an underground, secret church like the other nations. What will you do with this warning, while there is still time? 

until,
