June 29, 2010 God Bless The USA (2)

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked.

God, PLEASE Bless the USA. Thank You, Father.

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters, and blessings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus. It is Tuesday and here are a few prayer requests for this day, this schools day. Please pray for our schools, pray for our granddaughter Tiffany who is taking a test to work with those very special needs students at the Central Dauphin Schools District. Also pray for Glenn Gambler who had a stroke and for the Stuckeys in the death of a wife and mother. Also pray for the families of all those bikers who were killed in that cycle crash on Sunday afternoon.

God Bless The USA (2): Psalm 1:1 - Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. (NIV)

The scripture above tells us that if we want those blessings from God we should not be walking with Satan, and as far as I am concerned it is the same for our Nation. If we expect God to keep blessing this Nation then we should be walking with God... Amen.

The Constitution... Yesterday I wrote about the "Preamble" and lined it up with Genesis 1: 1/2. Today I want to look at the constitution...

Article 1: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Article one then goes on to tell all about how the Senate and the House of Representatives should be elected, their age requirements, and duties etc...

Now Article one is very big so let me say if you have a copy of the Constitution please read it on your own.. Let me now turn to the Bible and start today with Genesis 1:26.

Genesis 1:26 through 2:3 - Then God said, "Let us" make man in our image in our likeness and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Then God said, "I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground everything that has the breath of life in it I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that He had made and it was very good and there was evening and there was morning the sixth day.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it Holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done... (NIV)

Ok, let me compare the constitution and these scriptures... THESE ARE MY OPINIONS as God gives them to me.... Here we go... Article one created a Congress, and as recorded in Genesis, God created man. What do they have in common, and they do have something in common. BOTH FAILED!!! That did not take long, did it? Those of you who watch, and you need not watch daily, you will see that our congress has failed. Most members in congress are concerned about one main thing, the next election. I really don't need to tell you how man has failed. Do you want to see where the failure of man starts today? GO AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR and that goes for me also.

Yes, we have all sinned and that means we have failed in the eyes of God, but we can come back and so can our nation. For our Nation to come back, it must start with us anyway.

Here are a few other notes. Congress may be recalled, by a recall vote, or by not reelecting a member... Man WILL BE RECALLED by His maker.

Congress was established to work for man... Man was made to work for God.

Congress was elected to help run the country... Man was made and trusted by God to run the country. I could go on, but you get the picture.

What will tomorrow have in store?

Remember this Sunday, Independence Day, yes, believe it or not, July 4th is not the name of the Holiday, it is the date that the holiday falls upon. Why not talking that up? We would not like it at all if next year everyone would start to say, Merry December 25th.

I want to close today by saying I am proud to be an American, and also proud to be a "Born Again Christian". I am happy to serve both my country and my Lord Jesus. I will also pledge our flag but only as long as it states "One Nation Under God" for I will never pledge anything that would be placed equal to or above God. For nothing, I say nothing in my mind will ever be equal to or above God. Amen. Where do you stand today? And while I am stating some facts about me, I think you should know this. I am a sinner, forgiven by God, and yes, I still mess up from time to time, but unlike years ago, I don't plan on messing up. I also want all of you to know that I DO BELIEVE in the Word of God that we find in our Bibles, I believe the Bible and all that is in it from where it says In the Beginning found in Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:20/21, He who testifies to these things says, "Yes I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.

Are you a "Born Again Christian who loves America?" Now let me see which is more important? To me, I am more concerned if you are Born Again, for if you are Born Again, really Born Again, then you surely love this beautiful country that God gave us. You might not like the way it is run sometimes, but if You really love God, then I believe you must love America. However, if you love America, that does not mean you love Jesus. So today I ask, Do You love Jesus? Let's go to prayer now, asking God into our lives. Most all of you have done this before, but for those who are sitting on the fence... Will you join in faith today and come to Jesus?

Dear Heavenly Father, The One and only Father of our Country, we come to You asking that You forgive us of our sins. Lord, before we ever get our Nation back on track, we must get ourselves back on track with You and today I pray it will start with me. Come to me today, Lord, as I reach out for You, accept me and clean me of sins, and Lord, help me to tell others, and Lord, help me with our Nation's wrongs and to help make them right. Lord, may my loving You show to others. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Now go forth sharing your blessings and sharing the Love of Jesus and also sharing your love for Jesus and your love of Country. While Jesus gave His life for us to have personal freedom, many men and women have given their lives or limbs for this nation. Some went and never came home, some went and came home and have been in hospitals since. And please remember all the mental wounds that our men and women of the military suffered, and today it is still going on, pray for our troops and pray for peace and as you pray for peace remember that prayer is calling on Jesus to come back.

Now get sharing and love God, and your neighbors and God, Please Bless the USA. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
