The Devastation Of Rejected Knowledge

By John Stallings


For the last few days I have been meditating on Hosea 4: 1-6 where God has a controversy with His people Israel. Listen;

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.—Hosea 4:6

Israel had played the harlot with the sinful nations around her throwing aside the love of a beneficent God to “play footsie” with her impotent “lovers.” [Hosea 2:4-13]

Having thrown aside God’s laws Israel now lived according to the flesh & bore the fruit of violent selfishness.

If you read the passage you’ll see the problem wasn’t that Israel didn’t know the truth or hadn’t been warned about the error of their ways; No! They had heard the truth, & knew the truth but had blatantly rejected it.

Again; Israel had heard it, knew it- & had rejected God’s truth, wisdom & knowledge.

Ladies & gentlemen I am afraid for us as I write these words. I fear America is doing the same thing Israel did.

What can we say except God have mercy, of a nation that has been so weakened morally that its children are exposed to guns, drugs, even heroin, & rape in public school but aren’t allowed to pray? Unbelievable! A school without prayer is a school without God. A nation without prayer is a nation that denies God.

Just as Israel, when a nation rejects God they reap what they’ve sown. America has rejected God & now what we observe taking place are the results.

How can America justify, 35 years after the Roe V. Wade decision-- that allowed over 40,000,000 Americans to be murdered,-- handing over power to Obama who promises before he takes off his overcoat after his inauguration, [God forbid] he’ll be ushered into a room & sign the Freedom of Choice Act, [let’s don’t give those tiny Americans a chance for the breath of life to enter their lungs] which would eliminate every other law against all aspects of abortion, including partial birth abortion, parental notification etc.

IMHO, if women are so anxious to take control over their bodies let them exercise some restraint before they go to bed.

God’s Word plainly states among the things He hates are….hands that shed innocent blood. Proverbs 6:17.

As you know, all it takes to control America is 5 people--5 out of the 9 who sit on the Supreme Court. And these people are appointed for life. During Bush's tenure he's started to turn this court around by appointing Roberts & Alito. I probably don't need to inform you that both Obama & Biden voted against the confirmation of these men.

We need one more judge to start to turn the court around & to consistently see decisions made that God can honor in America. Obama himself has said that the next president will appoint at least one maybe two more Supreme Court Justices. Two or more older liberal judges are in all probability waiting until after the election to retire & if Obama is elected they will be replaced & with liberal Justices.

THIS ISN’T A “CONCESSION” BLOG

Far from that; I feel that through prayer, after we’ve cast our votes, we can see the right feet in the stirrups & the right people swinging into the saddles a few weeks from now.

But how did we get where we are? How can it be that the greatest spiritual leaders in America are saying the only thing left to do is fall on our faces & beg God to have mercy?

How can it be that we are slip- sliding on a perilous cliff that could within weeks have our beloved nation lurching so far to the liberal left that much that has been accomplished for good in the last several decades could be set to the torch within hours?

We thought the young generation had been given a semblance of spiritual grounding; I think somehow we thought they would just “pick it up” in a few bible classes & a few sermons, but evidently, for the most part they haven’t.

Somehow after being taught God’s word people either haven’t heard it or they’ve outright rejected it. How else can you account for the fact that so many good people aren’t alarmed when they hear about a regime’ poised to take over the halls of power making Washington D.C “filibuster proof,” [meaning you can’t argue with them,] & take it as casually as if a gnat had landed on their sleeve?

HE DARKENED THEIR FOOLISH HEARTS—Romans 1:21-31

We deserve the judgment of God for the wickedness we’ve allowed to grow & be disseminated from these once hallowed shores & for allowing laws to be passed that trumped God’s laws.

But God’s mercy can & will once again take precedent over His hand of Judgment just as He’s done in many elections in the recent past.

But we must pray for this grace & mercy to capture the hearts of our people & a tidal-wave of petitions will rise to touch the throne of God.

Listen to Joel 2:17-18;

Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord weep between the porch and the alter, and let them say, Spare thy people O Lord and give not thine heritage to reproach that the heathen should rule over them; wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God. Then the Lord will be jealous for His land and pity His people.

Friend, join me & many others in losing a little sleep if necessary so that we can pray this thing through, but let's not lose this election.

If we will call on the name of the Lord non-stop & engage the powers of darkness in this matter-- we will be victorious.

If we don’t, we will see one of the greatest things God ever accomplished on this dusty planet set back so far it would take a generation to recover, if it ever did.

Don't lose hope but rather be a prayer worrior & we'll see God turn this thing around.

God bless you & God bless America,


John
