As I was in prayer this morning, asking the Lord to show me what He wanted me to learn, know, understand or do in His word, He lead me to the book of Hosea.
In chapters 1-3, God told Hosea to go take an unfaithful wife. When she went astray, God used it as lessons and compared her to the nation of Israel. God said they will be called ‘Not my people’ when they went off and followed false gods and sinned against Him. When they did, He also withheld His blessings.
I found this to be so in my own life as I have been guilty of the most heinous crimes against my husband. I used to place blame partially on things he was doing that pushed me there, but I was guilty of having an unfaithful and obstinate heart that wanted my own things and wandering far from God and His ways and instructions. When I did things in my life fell completely apart. This is what happened with Hosea’s wife and in Israel. God chose at that time to bless the nation of Judah instead and call them ‘My people’. Israel became a barren parched land with much horrible crimes, sickness and poverty.
However God promised that those whom He called ‘Not my people’ would once again be called ‘My people’ when they returned to Him and He would once again bless them and reunite them with Judah and they would be brothers again.
America has been undergoing the same crises as it has wandered far from God and chosen to go its own way. Crime has become rampant, the land is parched, crops are not thriving, sickness and disease are everywhere, people have chosen to be rebellious and worship false gods and go their own way. Because of this, God has withheld His blessings. Yet because of the faithful few who have been crying out to God, standing up for righteousness and pushing for a return to God, our nation is slowly beginning to heal.
We must continue to stand and fight against all kinds of evils that are running rampant in our land and when we can finally turn the hearts of the many back to God, He will bring back His blessings upon our land and its people in America. We must remain vigilant in His word and in close communion with Him. In order to withstand the wiles of the devil and his demons and stand victorious in bringing about a sharp u-turn for our country. In turn, God will bring back His many blessings from rain, crops, fish, health and peace in America and in our personal lives. This is our duty as disciples of Christ Jesus. If we wish to see peace and prosperity in America and in our own lives, we have much work ahead.
Direct my path Lord, lead me in Your perfect will.
Amen
November 8, 2022 The Holy Spirit told me twice today to begin a Ladies Bible Study at our house.
November 9, 2022 On the way home from Bible study at our church this evening, my husband and I were discussing the unseasonable warmth today, it was 80*. I said “It’s almost like” and was about to say ‘an extended summer’ when I heard the Holy Spirit say “Sow your crops” and I saw someone planting seeds in our garden. I questioned “In November Lord?” A few minutes later, I heard it again twice In the Spirit, “Sow your crops———-Sow your crops” God is showing me that He is about to do the most extraordinary, unimaginable, seemingly impossible things. He want us to STEP OUT IN FAITH no matter how small and sow wherever He leads even though it may seem impossible. We MUST Sow our crops.
Luke 17:6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree. Be uprooted and planted in the sea and it will obey you.
Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith, Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible.”
Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God: all things are possible.”
