Greetings,
I am not talking about a Solemn Assembly. As many would want to define from Old Testament passages and practices. The issue before us as spiritual leaders, prayer warriors and followers of Christ is about:
--where we are;
--where we are going;
--how we got here;
--what must we do
Our Plight
There are many prayer points, issues and targets to be brought before the church. But the Lord has revealed 5 epidemics upon our nation right now.
Epidemic - : affecting
or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals
within a population, community, or region at the same time; characterized by very widespread growth or extent.
Here are the 5 epidemics facing our society and the church and our future:
1. Drugs;
2. Cancer;
3. Evil; mass murders, school shooting, murder-suicides, suicides, historic homicides, police officers being shot and killed and police officers shooting innocent; Acts of evil that cause death and destruction;
4. LGBT;
5. Children abuse and neglect; physical, emotional, sexual abuse; Society is violating and stealing children's innocence and naiveness, that before they are 3 or 4 years old, they have seen evil in all its vile ways;
Now these things are not one and done. They are not isolated incidents, or sporadic in happenings; but they are in every state, county and city. They are north to south and east to west in our nation. They are not haphazardly happening once a year, or several times a year. but they have grown from once a in while, to every month, to every week, to now every day or every other day. Their increase in volume is the alarm upon us.
Where are we going
As the frequency of these evils upon us continue, they are accelerating to new heights of death and destruction. We are now in a state of our very future being in jeopardy. For no society can continue at this pace of death and destruction. We have already dropped in birth rate numbers below the needed number to continue a healthy population. Death is happening faster than birth. Now this is happening because of a number of things not mentioned yet, but still evil. Such things as abortion, birth control and a society not wanting children, no procreation.
The remedial judgements happening in these epidemics, as well as the other prayer issues should make us very aware of our plight before the Lord. He is allowing for our own destruction by our evil deeds against Him. We have provoked Him to anger, and He has responded in wrath. " I will cut you off"; "I will remove you from the earth". Do you not see this? Are you aware of this critical plight? The future of our children and grandchildren is in jeopardy and our response is dependent on God's destruction or deliverance.
there is one more thing you should consider in this, I have identified 5 epidemics on our nation. At this rate, there is no reason to not see by the end of this year #6 and/or #7 added to our plagues. We have not seen a disease plague of epidemic proportions yet. We have not seen war yet. Economy, anarchy and chaos in our government and streets is possible. There are numerous things that could come upon us in regards to 6 and/or 7. Weather disasters have been constant as well and could easily be #6, for they only continue to increase in severity of destruction and death. And earthquake in populate areas has not been since the 1990's in San Fransisco. Give attention, God is not done, because we have not dealt with the sin causing this.
How We Got Here
I have addressed this many times over in addressing specifically our sins. The need to understand wherein we have provoke the Lord to anger as a nation, as a church and as individuals. Once these things are identified, it is the need of the hour to confess, repent and restore our broken ties to the Lord. This starts with the church. If the church doesn't respond, doesn't sound the alarms then why would we expect the lost world too? 'Let judgement begin in the house of the Lord'. When the plight is fully explained, and our crisis is laid out, it would be my prayer that there would be great alarm to where we are, how we got here and where we are going.
but the one thing left is a right response by the church to correct what caused all this and what has escalated these things to new heights of evil that has brought such death and destruction.
What Must We Do
In II Chronicles 7 and in Joel 1 & 2, when remedial judgements are falling and happening, there is to be a response by the people of God. sin has caused this, and we are reaping what we have sown. Now God in His mercy, in the midst of remedial judgements gives a moment to respond to His invitation to put away the sin that has caused the offense before the Lord and to the Lord. We are to call for the people to come together. We are to make them aware of our iniquity before the Lord. We are to confess and repent of the sins of offense unto the Lord God. We are to be broken and contrite before Him. Call for a fast, and travail before Him. 'For who knows if He will turn and leave a blessing behind Him'. We are to renew our vows of loyalty and allegiance unto Him.
Let the spiritual leaders of the church and prayer leaders understand these things. Let them respond in one voice and unified response to our nation and the churches response. Let them set the example and put before the people the example of making our wrongs right unto the Lord God, while we have time.
Until,
Dan Biser
