What America NEEDS

Proverbs 11:29

King James Version

29 He that troubleth his own house 

shall inherit the wind: 

and the fool shall be servant 

to the wise of heart.

This was a tricky article to write.

I kept circling it, looking for a worthy angle.

Something that would please GOD, and not self.

It took me three days before I could finally write this.

I needed help with the approach, and tons of other details.

I didn't want to be caught up in America's politics, or bickering.

Which, you must know, are Satan's "tools" for confusion.

He tried so hard to muddle my thinking.

Obviously, so I can't get a "handle" on this post.

But SPIRIT cannot be outdone.

Curiously, GOD made me study America's plight.

The day He made me born again in 2019.

Finally, yesterday afternoon, SPIRIT created the theme, title, and tone.

And today, I can finalize what SPIRIT wants written.

From that, it was "all systems go".

SPIRIT gave the title:

"What America NEEDS"

The answer to that?

SPIRIT gave the answer, too:

"America needs LOVE."

And from that, we were able to weave the article seamlessly.

America needs to love herself, and her citizens.

She needs to protect her borders.

She is being infiltrated, from within.

And from without.

America is in GREAT danger.

She is in free fall, and in danger of "demolition".

I'm surprised her citizens haven't gone to the streets.

Not to uphold abortion, or gender rights.

But to uphold her everyday citizen's rights.

Who pay for all the foolishness of her leaders.

And all the demonic activity going on.

Where she is hit on ALL fronts.

America has dumped all her political "trash" on her poor citizens.

Causing chaos, confusion, and cruelty.

Her leaders stink of sin.

My heart goes out to her citizens.

Who literally pay for her dubious programs.

Will they have retirement money left for themselves?

She's lost her vision.

To defend the rights of her people.

America needs GOD.

She's turned away from GOD's laws.

When you do that, you lose love.

You lose your bearings.

You lose your foundations.

You lose self-respect.

You lose the power GOD gave you.

You lose your "anointing".

And that's the worst of all.

Losing SPIRIT's anointing is worst of all.

Nothing can stop that downfall.

Would GOD turn away from her?

GOD doesn't turn away from us; we do.

But we are in the end times.

The Rapture is imminent.

CHRIST's enemy knows that.

Precisely why he wants America destroyed.

For, she has intermittently cared about Israel.

If America abandons Israel, that's when GOD will abandon her.

GOD made clear His love for Israel:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

America needs love.

She needs to know what love truly is.

GOD's laws are clear:

Mark 12:28-31

King James Version

28 And one of the scribes came, 

and having heard them reasoning together, 

and perceiving that he had answered them well, 

asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, 

The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment 

greater than these.

John 13:34

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

1 Corinthians 13:13

King James Version

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, 

these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

She must also acknowledge the SOURCE of ALL LOVE.

1 John 4:7-10

King James Version

7 Beloved, let us love one another: 

for love is of God; 

and every one that loveth is born of God, 

and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; 

for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, 

because that God sent 

his only begotten Son into the world, 

that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, 

but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son 

to be the propitiation for our sins.

America's being demolished from within.

By a host of demons.

Who wish her destroyed.

So she won't uphold democracy.

So she won't protect Israel.

So she won't protect other countries.

So she won't obey GOD's commands.

So she will ignore her own citizens.

It's all a form of controlled demolition.

And sorcery.

Satan is sorcerer.

He's destroying America.

By letting her destroy herself.

From within.

That's what real sorcery is.

You have no idea the slyness of this enemy.

You won't even know what "corrupted" you.

But SPIRIT, and Scripture, will tell you.

In contrast, GOD is LOVE.

He only wants the best for His children.

Who keeps rebelling, but He's always there to love, and correct.

America needs to return to the LORD, as prodigal children.

He always has it in His heart to forgive.

But shame on us, for stretching that patience.

GOD's got a PLAN of SALVATION.

He's got a timetable.

It's all been prophesied.

It won't do for people to keep putting it off.

This thing about being born again.

Walking in GOD's SPIRIT.

Learning about JESUS.

Following the path JESUS paved.

He's made it easy to go back to GOD.

He already died for our sins.

We just need to follow His commandments.

Scripture is our GUIDE book.

SPIRIT is our TEACHER on GOD's laws, and on JESUS.

He makes us understand Scripture easily, and clearly.

America must realize what's being done to her, and through her.

She must turn back to GOD, and be free of demons.

She must put the Bible back in schools, courts, and businesses.

She must stop all that bullying, backbiting, and bickering.

She must drop all thoughts of abortion, and perversion.

She's been away from GOD too long.

Today is the best day for her to return, repent, and reconcile with GOD.

There was a time America was seen as "savior".

But there's only ONE SAVIOR -- JESUS.

It's time for all to acknowledge that.

How can America heal?

GOD said this of Israel, but it applies to all nations, too:

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 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.

If America wants love, she needs to turn to GOD.

Who can give her all the love she needs.

And teach her how to really love, too.

Through the example He and His Son gave.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

Then, she can be a shining example to all.

America is still young.

This verse applies to her:

1 Timothy 4:12

King James Version

12 Let no man despise thy youth; 

but be thou an example of the believers, 

in word, in conversation, in charity, 

in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Let not America be only beautiful.

But just.

Godly.

GOD-fearing.

And have GODLY men, and women.

At the moment, she's supposed to be leader of the world.

An example for others to follow.

But for sometime now, she's fallen from GOD's grace.

She must not lose her crown in the free world.

She must bow to the fact GOD's nation is Israel.

His city is Jerusalem.

If those are in great chaos these days, you know who's behind it.

All that GOD loves, Satan hates.

All that GOD builds, Satan wants to destroy.

All that GOD protects, Satan wants to eliminate.

As if he ever could.

America must work alongside GOD.

According to GOD's will, ways, and wisdom.

And have VICTORY, through JESUS.

ULTIMATE leadership book

 

Galatians 6:2

King James Version

2 Bear ye one another's burdens, 

and so fulfil the law of Christ.

I've searched many books.

Bought many books.

Read many books.

Sold many books.

Gave away many books.

Tried to comprehend those books.

But there was always something missing.

I was looking for a book on "ULTIMATE" leadership.

The kind I can trust.

The kind I can respect.

The kind I can follow.

The kind I can share.

Did I find it?

Nope.

That's why I kept searching.

And searching.

Until I got mighty exhausted.

Even pocket got exhausted.

Bookstores got tired, too.

They could not offer me anything new.

They could not offer me the thing I was looking for.

But one day, 55 months ago, I found it.

GOD gave me His Bible.

That stopped all the search.

In ONE, GLORIOUS book, I found ALL my answers.

I wouldn't touch any other book after that.

You can have your leadership, and management books.

I'll stick to GOD's WORD.

If you want to lead perfectly, read about JESUS.

If you want practical leadership tips, read Book of Proverbs.

If you want a smart time management system, look to what Jethro told his son-in-law, Moses:

Exodus 18:13

King James Version

13 And it came to pass on the morrow, 

that Moses sat to judge the people: 

and the people stood by Moses 

from the morning unto the evening.

Exodus 18:14

King James Version

14 And when Moses' father in law 

saw all that he did to the people, 

he said, 

What is this thing that thou doest to the people? 

why sittest thou thyself alone, 

and all the people stand by thee 

from morning unto even?

Exodus 18:15-16

King James Version

15 And Moses said unto his father in law, 

Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me; 

and I judge between one and another, 

and I do make them know the statutes of God, 

and his laws.

Exodus 18:17-18

King James Version

17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, 

The thing that thou doest is not good.

18 Thou wilt surely wear away, 

both thou, and this people that is with thee: 

for this thing is too heavy for thee; 

thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.

Exodus 18:19-20

King James Version

19 Hearken now unto my voice, 

I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: 

Be thou for the people to God-ward, 

that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, 

and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, 

and the work that they must do.

Exodus 18:21

King James Version

21 Moreover thou shalt provide 

out of all the people able men, 

such as fear God, 

men of truth, 

hating covetousness; 

and place such over them, 

to be rulers of thousands, 

and rulers of hundreds, 

rulers of fifties, 

and rulers of tens:

Exodus 18:22

King James Version

22 And let them judge the people at all seasons: 

and it shall be, that every great matter 

they shall bring unto thee, 

but every small matter they shall judge: 

so shall it be easier for thyself, 

and they shall bear the burden with thee.

Exodus 18:23

King James Version

23 If thou shalt do this thing, 

and God command thee so, 

then thou shalt be able to endure, 

and all this people shall also go to their place 

in peace.

Exodus 18:24-26

King James Version

24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, 

and did all that he had said.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, 

and made them heads over the people, 

rulers of thousands, 

rulers of hundreds, 

rulers of fifties, 

and rulers of tens.

26 And they judged the people at all seasons: 

the hard causes they brought unto Moses, 

but every small matter they judged themselves.

Today, Jethro's advice, is called "delegation".

These were men of the hills, plains, valleys, springs, and deserts.

They were not caught up in definitions.

They did, according to GOD's commands.

GOD taught them to worship Him.

And to live rightly.

GOD's BOOK is ahead of its time.

How can it not?

GOD is MASTER of TIME.

The Bible puts us all to shame.

Romans 1:22

King James Version

22 Professing themselves to be wise, 

they became fools,

If you're a leader, be not proud.

TURN to GOD, for counsel.

Only by being born again, can you be taught by GOD's SPIRIT.

Only by learning from SPIRIT, can you know JESUS.

Only by knowing JESUS, can you understand GOD's WORD.

Only by understanding GOD's WORD, can you know love, life, and leadership.

And anything else you want to know about.

These are not idle claims.

I claim these stoutly.

This HELPED me

 

Proverbs 15:14

King James Version

14 The heart of him that hath understanding 

seeketh knowledge: 

but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

How important is independent thinking?

How vital is tireless search for truth?

How essential is finding the right teacher?

If you're a researcher, you'd find these important.

If you're a journalist, you'll find these compulsory.

If you're a seeker, you'll be grateful to know these things.

If you're a leader, you'll gravitate to these.

Well, that is if you're a true researcher, journalist, seeker, and leader.

And who's to judge that you are?

Self, for one.

You know what you seek.

You know what you aspire for.

And ideally, you know where to look.

If you have tons of mileage to your years, you've gone through the process.

I have, and did.

Only thing?

There was always something vital missing.

I couldn't seem to put a finger to it.

I've read tons of books.

Worked tons of jobs.

And yet, my search continued.

Sure, others could spoonfeed me.

But I refused.

I wanted to find things out for myself.

A foolish trait?

A stubborn trait?

More like the latter.

Knowledge had to satisfy the soul.

I couldn't seem to "buy" what others said I should "buy".

I always wanted to know why, and if it was trustworthy.

I always tried to look behind the curtain.

Surface was not good.

I went deep.

What was being kept from me?

What more did I need to know?

Who can give me the answers?

I had no idea such a trait would serve me much later on.

Where people sought riches, I wasn't as fascinated.

Where people sought fame, I absolutely had no interest in it.

Where people sought knowledge, I asked "what" knowledge?

Who was dishing out the knowledge?

Was it something you could embrace, for real?

As you can imagine, I had embarked on a solitary path.

But not a lonely path.

If anything, it was the MOST exciting path!

I was tireless sleuth.

I had my mind to myself.

Never mind what people thought of me.

I was predictable.

I was always buried in books.

All my money went to finding something out.

What, I didn't know what, then, and yet.

So, I kept on, unmindful of how others progressed.

But when they regressed, that's when I paid attention.

Why did that happen?

And that's when they'd dish their own form of wisdom.

After failure.

After humiliation.

After setbacks.

And that's when I'd listen to them.

For I suffered all that, too.

Now, we had real stories to tell.

To my mind, unless you've been in all parts of the spectrum, how can you really tell?

If you've always been successful, how can you know failure?

If you've always been rich, how can you know poverty?

If you've always been healthy, how can you know illness?

If you've always been free, how can you know bondage?

Nothing like experiencing it for yourself, to know firsthand.

Firsthand experience rocks.

Never lip service.

Authenticity, folks.

It's always been about authenticity.

At least, for me.

That's why I can't really take men's words for it.

We all tend to make up tall tales.

I wanted something guileless, unembellished.

Also, I had to know they went through "hell", and back.

I have, and did.

Of course, time came I got stumped.

There was ALWAYS something missing.

No matter how many books I read, or knowledge I gathered.

I didn't know where to turn for ABSOLUTE knowledge.

I didn't know how to right my life.

I didn't know where to begin.

What good were all my experiences for?

What was I missing?

And that's when GOD rescued me.

And made me born again.

Same day, I started reading the Bible.

And began to understand it, as if I'd been reading it all my life.

Notebooks, and pieces of paper, littered my room.

From all the verses I was jotting down, hoping to remember everything.

The Bible was THE treasure trove I had been searching for ALL my life.

My hungry heart couldn't have enough of GOD's TRUTH.

Imagine -- all it took was ONE book to explain everything!

But this I must tell you.

Only through SPIRIT can you understand the Bible.

That is essential to know.

Then, the blogs and books came.

Almost on its own, for I loved writing.

But really, SPIRIT dunnit.

He taught me everything.

Now, I could write about GOD's WORD.

And share with all of you.

I couldn't wait to share my many discoveries with you.

So, I think to myself now, was all that independent thinking worth it?

Were all those books necessary?

Was all that stubbornness to know for myself, a must?

At this stage, I must say GOD liked it all.

He allowed me to find out for myself.

To face all the hits, and misses.

He knew I was on a mission.

A personal mission to find truth.

So, He gave it.

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

You see, I wanted to know who the absolute leader was.

I wanted to know what absolute power was.

Everything had to be ABSOLUTE, or I wasn't there.

I wanted to know who I can really follow.

Who I can really trust.

And give my heart to.

Turned out, GOD was It.

With matching proof.

Through Scripture.

In the person of JESUS.

As taught by the HOLY SPIRIT.

What other book would I be needing?

I already have the Bible.

It tells me past, present, and future.

It tells me about GOD, you, and me.

What other reference could there be?

What other book could teach you to be a better leader?

What other book could teach you how to live your life?

What other book could teach you how to love?

What other book could teach you how to be?

Now, I'm peaceful.
