Judgement
It has been a while since the last time I was able to sit and write on this blog. I have been completely overwhelmed with work, ministry and music. I have been so completely consumed by the desire to know God more lately because I believe that the day is coming in which people will no longer have the freedom to worship God the way we do now. The more I see in America, the stronger this feeling becomes for me. Our country grows further and further away from the strong christian principles and morals that we were birthed into, and it grieves my heart because I truely believe that this is the cause of so many problems that we face today. Every step that we as a nation take away from God brings us closer and closer to a terrible judgement. When I look at all the evil that takes place these days I can’t help but ask myself, how can God NOT judge us?? I was in Manhattan on Sunday all day and I got stuck in traffic. Huge crowds were marching the streets and many streets were closed by the police department as countless people marched in honor of HOMOSEXUALITY. I couldn’t believe my eyes and my heart broke as I saw people openly flaunting a sin that is such an abomination to God that it once caused him to destroy an entire city because of itm (sodom and gomorrah.) I began to pray silently to God as men dressed as women marched past waving their rainbow flags, thinking, “God, please withhold judgement and allow us to see these people repent and turn their hearts back to you.” My stomach hurt all day because I knew how much the heart of God was crying out for the souls of these people who were marching straight to hell. I kept thinking to myself, how can people be so open about sin and yet the churches in america are so afraid to go out and do something about it. We are the ones to blame because we sit in our comfortable cushined chairs and listen to preachers tell us about our best life now while people everyday are dying and going to hell!!! I am so angry right now because I know that I can do more!!! I don’t know why God has placed such a burden on my heart for New York City, but I do know that there are not enough CHRISTIANS standing up for holiness!!! Instead we pray for God to bless us, make our lives comfortable, make us happy, give us finances, feed us, give us nice cars and houses. I am disgusted by these kinds of prayers. I believe that if our hearts are truely filled with the holy spirit we should be facedown crying because of the sin that is bringing Gods judgement upon us!!! We should be praying for God to turn the hearts of America back to Him!!! I pray that God will allow us to reach as many people before america falls, because I believe she will…no where in end time prophecy does it speak of america, except perhaps babylon the great-and if that is the case then judgement is SURELY coming. Let us begin to chase God like never before and pray that there will be a great harvest before it is too late….

How sobering David. Your latest blog post reminds me of a powerful warning written by the late Leonard Ravenhill:
“Forget the pews; let’s check the pulpits. Is your pastor a night owl? No, not a late-night television watcher. I mean one who lies all night in sackcloth; one who can be labeled as soul-stricken with grief that his neighborhood is hell-bound; one who sees no clock as he ‘howls’ and ‘laments’ the devil’s dominion over his town and this blind generation. Has he a sackcloth wardrobe for his tearful humiliation that his theology is a paper tiger? That he can print the theological menu but cannot produce the meal?”
It all begins with us!

If we Christians could have this same heart and desire for new york city we can turn this city upside down…but unless we make God our priority in life I fear that we won’t see it…God break our stone hearts make us one in faith let us see people the way you see them!
