Has America Reached Critical Mass?

I wake up each new day to discover further destruction that has been wrought upon our nation by political advocates whose entire agenda is the destruction of the very fabric of our nation. We are now witnessing what our forefathers warned would happen if the government was allowed to follow its course unhindered by the intervention of true American patriots.

We, as Americans, have become servants to an out-of-control government led by three distinct branches of government that were originally designed to bring checks and balances to one another. However, today these three are too busy serving themselves to worry about what another is doing. Today, we find them functioning as separate entities with their own agendas and no one concerned enough to stop their progression of destruction.

Political maneuvering has created a rapidly growing number of Americans who have been duped into placing their entire dependence upon the federal government to meet their needs. In so doing, the amount of government handouts has far surpassed the ability of the taxpaying American to maintain; thus, our nation becomes more entrenched in debt every day.

Thus, we have become a society ruled by an elite political machine that buys votes and voices through promises of more handouts regardless of the debt accumulated and the consequences that are on the near horizon for our once-great nation.

The stark reality of our national situation will one day hit home, and hit home hard it will, to all who have found themselves sucked into the government machine of hand-outs. They will awake one morning to find that the source of their living is broke. The fountain has dried up. The cards and medical care are no longer available.

Americans will discover what many of us have long known, our nation is bankrupt. Those who have been taught to depend upon the government will find their outward hand is now an upward hand as they struggle to keep from going down with the great big ship that was once the United States of America.

Critical mass refers to the minimum amount of material necessary to create a nuclear chain reaction or, in a way we can understand, to create an atomic bomb with the ability to decimate a large parcel of land and its inhabitants.

A good question we should all be asking ourselves is: Has America reached critical mass? Has Washington taken us to a point beyond help? I believe the answer is a YES and a NO! If we continue to trust Washington, the answer is YES—there is no hope for America in Washington’s hands.

America has become a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. The wicked laugh and appear delighted that our nation has become so wicked, defiled and sinful. GOD determined it was time for His judgement to fall upon Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Bible says: “The Lord said, ‘The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is immense, and their sin is extremely serious’” (Genesis 18:20 HCSB). Abraham pled with the LORD to withhold His judgement for the sake of the righteous in the cities. But, no one righteous could be found and the hand of the LORD soon fell and annihilated both cities in total.

I believe the outcry against America is immense today and our sinfulness as a nation before GOD is extremely serious. The blood of 65 million plus unborn babies murdered for the sake of convenience and choice with full approval from our government cries out to GOD for vengeance against the perpetrators of this most serious offense.

I feel like Abraham today crying out for mercy from GOD upon our nation and yet I wonder how many truly righteous people could be found? So many of our churches have turned against GOD’s ways falling prey to the pull of society. So many pastors have forsaken their calling choosing to sell out on the altar of money, fame or personal satisfaction.

Is there any hope for America? The answer can be a resounding YES, IF the churches of America rise up, repent, turn from the wickedness and their acceptance of our nation’s wickedness, and pray and intercede to Almighty GOD on behalf of America—there is still HOPE! The HOPE is JESUS!

The church is His presence in our senseless, sinful society. The power of the HOLY GHOST flowing through a revived church can bring back hope to a society destroyed by the powers of evil and the evil influence that has been allowed to reign supreme for much too long.

We can never change America outside of being the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And regardless of what eventually becomes of America, we can trust and know that Jesus Christ is still on the throne and, ultimately, HE wins out!

Scripture Reading: “Then the Lord rained burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the sky. He overthrew these cities, the entire plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground. But his wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Early in the morning Abraham went to the place where he had stood before the Lord. He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he saw that smoke was going up from the land like the smoke of a furnace. So it was, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He remembered Abraham and brought Lot out of the middle of the upheaval when He overthrew the cities where Lot had lived” (Genesis 19:24-29 HCSB).

Personal Prayer: Father in heaven, I need Your help in my life today. Please forgive me for not speaking up and speaking out about what is right and what is godly, choosing rather to be silent in the midst of the chaos. Please help me to live a righteous life; to speak out against all that is wrong and sinful; and to be an example of Christ in all situations and circumstances. I pray also for America and ask You to encourage Your church by the Holy Spirit to rise up from the ashes and become what You have called us to be…in Jesus’ name…AMEN!
