Recently, many of us have been overheard saying, “Thank goodness, the incessant media focus on this crazy, unparalleled U.S. election will soon be over!”
The election, to take place in less than a week, has most asking the question, “What will America look like after the dust has settled?”It seems obvious that the results will have huge implications, not only for us as Canadians, but for the world in general. We believe our southern neighbours are in big trouble in many ways. Yet our own confused, insecure generation is looking for solutions to our country’s similar problems.
Franklin carried this message of hope, as his Decision America Tour visited each state capital during these last months.
Franklin says, “Well over 100,000 people have joined together at lunchtime on Capitol steps and grounds in state after state to intercede for this nation and ask God to heal our troubled land. The proverbial walls are crumbling from the moral rot of abortion, sexual rebellion and the idol of money. “We see our nation in trouble — spiritually, racially, economically and politically.”
Franklin goes on to explain, “America is at a crossroads. The descent into godless immorality and debauchery has accelerated so rapidly that unless God intervenes, our country will never be the same. Our culture is on the verge of a complete rejection of the moral restraining power of the church that has prominently played a role in the nation’s history.”
Having no hope in either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, Franklin says, "My only hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ and His power to transform hearts and bring revival and moral renewal.”
Franklin’s description of his country’s perils sound all too familiar. I believe many bewildered worldlings are asking, “Is there any word from the Lord?” They know there is no intelligent word from any other source.
Have we no modern Moses? Where are our “now” heroes of the faith?
What is my part in all of this? Am I to just be a “spectator” while Lucifer keeps many in this generation perishing in the camp of moral bondage?
2 Chronicles 7:14 implores us with these words, ..."if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
Regardless of who may triumph in the election, my hope will continue in Almighty God who is still very much in control and knows all!
He is Sovereign, Loving, and Not Willing That Anyone Should Perish. Pray! Pray! Pray!
“I question not God’s means or ways, Or how He uses time or days To answer every call or prayer — I know He will, somehow.”
