The prophet Ezekiel painted a picture using "P" words. His words are worth our time and consideration as I find them an accurate picture of our nation today. Here are Ezekiel's words from Ezekiel 22:23-31 (with my thoughts in parenthesis).
23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, say unto her (the nation), Thou art the land that is not cleansed (polluted with abominable sins), nor rained upon in the day of indignation (spiritual and moral drought).
25 There is a conspiracy of her (false) prophets (a satanic alliance of evil) in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things (steal, kill & destroy); they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
(The effect of this evil conspiracy):
26 Her priests (spiritual leaders, pastors & preachers) have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Her princes (political leaders) in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain (profit).
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully (peaceful protests).
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none (Let Him find us praying and interceding for our nation).
31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God. (This does not have to be the fate of our nation).
Ezekiel's words paint a picture of the satanic alliance of evil which has infiltrated our nation. First by pollution, followed by widespread corruption as pastors, preachers, princes (political leaders), prophets, and even the people have been deceived.
BUT, there is another alliance. It is a Holy Alliance lead by the Holy Trinity and executed by those who have not bowed their knee to the god of this world. These are the pastors, preachers, princes (political leaders), prophets, and people who worship, fear, and obey God Almighty. These are the ones who are making up the hedge. They are standing in the gap (not an easy place to stand). Yet, they stand repenting for the abdominal sins this nation has not only committed but has embraced as politically correct. They take the unpopular stand for truth and righteousness.
"P" is for paint.
Our prayers paint
OVER
the picture and plan
that the satanic alliance of evil
has for our nation.
Let's get to painting!
"P" is for PRAY.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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" (2 Chronicles 7:14).
