Are Your Prayers for America Being Wasted?

Just a thought:

A few minutes ago I read a post about a prophetic warning to America given by Billy Graham's daughter. As I read through the comments, I was reminded of something I believe the Lord told me back in 2008.

He said that America had been judged and was going to be destroyed from being the great nation it once was. That to pray that the nation be preserved was going against His plans. That from that point on He was going to deal with individuals, and that that was where the prayers were to be focused; not on saving the nation, but on saving the lost of this nation.

America's sins have reached the point where her arrogance, pride, exporting of all kinds of perversions, and the wanton killing of the innocent, has become a stench in the nostrils of God. Just like He destroyed ancient Babylon after they built the Tower of Babel, confusing the tongues and scattering the people, America will never rise to that point of greatness again.

God is going to allow her enemies to rise up and destroy her, bringing her to her knees.

However, in the midst of this, Believers will see Psalm 37 and Psalm 91 played out in their lives.
11 times in Psalm 37, we see where the destruction of the wicked is foretold. Yet the same passages contain three times the promise that "the righteous will inherit the land."

In Psalms 91, we see the promise that no matter what is happening around us, even tho the death toll will be unbelieveably high, God will give His angels charge over His people to protect them and keep them safe.

How are you praying? Are you praying in vain that God will "save America" as a nation? Or are you praying that souls will be saved and turn to Jesus before it is too late? Personally, I'm praying for souls, and standing on His promise that no matter how dark the days ahead will be, that I will be under the "shadow of the Almighty".

Now, I realize that many will disagree...and that's fine. Continue to pray. I'm just saying that for me, I'm to pray for people and no longer for the salvation of the nation.

SIDE NOTE: I originally posted this on Facebook, and almost immediately received a comment from a woman that the Lord has shown her the same thing. "Confirmation."

Watching America Babylon

So are there things happening in this country (USA) to indicate that it is indeed America Babylon and that her days of world dominance are coming to an end? Let's see:

You might wonder why we would have stories on the national forests. Well, recently I heard some rumors of access to our national forests being eliminated to prevent escapees from a future martial law from finding a place in the wilderness. Then when you combine it with all the forest fires this year and it does mean that those who are planning on bugging out to the forest to survive on nuts and hunting, will find all routes in that direction closed...and guarded.

Sound the Trumpet

This evening I picked up the book "Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth" by David Wilkerson. I'd read it before, but wanted to check it out once again in light of my own understanding of what scripture says about the last days. I especially wanted to remind myself of what David Wilkerson had to say about the judgment and fall of America, which is what the book is about.

Imagine my surprise when I got to the section, titled "Warning Signs". The words could have been taken from today's headlines, literally. Read this excerpt:

"Before the great holocaust there will be smaller holocausts -- the oil fields of the middle east will be ablaze, and the smoke will rise night and day as a warning of the greater holocaust yet to come. There will be bombs falling on oil fields, on shipping docks and storage tanks. There will be panic among all oil producer, and shippers, and upon all nations dependent on that oil.

This parts of the next excerpt reads like a special report on the evening news: (emphasis mine)

Soon, very soon, an economic nightmare will explode into reality. What frightful news it will be! "O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness" (Jeremiah 51:13). America is about to face a time of mass hysteria, as banks close and financial institutions crumble and our economy spins totally out of control. Gold and silver will also lose their value."

"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them..." (Ezekiel 7:27)"

"The chaos that is coming cannot be stopped by our government..."

"Scoff if you choose, but the underlyiing fears about a collapse will soon become a tragic reality. Numerous cracks will appear in our fragile prosperity, and soon even the most optimistic will know in their hearts that a total collapse is certain. Senators and congressmen will sit in stunned silence as they realize no one can stop the tailspin into chaos. Business, political, and economic leaders will be terrorized by its suddenness and its far-reaching effect."

Sound familiar?

"Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it" (Ezekiel 14:13)."

Could the end be closer than we want to think?

"The great holocaust follows an economic collapse in America. The enemy will make its move when we are weak and helpless."

Sounds like Wilkerson quoted from the news headlines? Think again. The book was published in 1985! Could he have seen in the scriptures and by the Spirit of God the judgment coming on America?

I guess we'll just have to wait and see...however, I'd suggest you start doing some prepping in the meantime. You see, there will be survivors to the judgment that is coming.

Dreams and Visions

Yesterday, as I watched the evening news and saw how the price for a barrel of oil had reached well over $130 a barrel, and that the prediction was that it would go to $150 before July 4th, I was reminded of Dimitru Duduman's dreams and visions.

Years ago I had heard about this guy from Romania who had come to the United States and was telling about these dreams and visions he'd been having showing the coming destruction of the United States. I finally got the little book that detailed all of his prophecies.

What I had specifically remembered was that the main vision/dream had mentioned a time when "from the middle of the country, some of the people will start fighting against the government"...what could bring the people to a point of fighting the government? With the price of oil and over 7 million...yes, 7 million people in the United States are unemployed, people are getting scared. While the government fails to control the price of gasoline, the oil companies are getting richer (ridiculously so) and middle class America is rapidly sinking into first-time poverty.

People who have been those that contribute to the food banks are now the ones having to ask for help. The only problem with the food banks, is that you don't get enough food to live on. Perhaps that varies from area to area, but I've been at the point in the past where I've had to get food from a food bank, and for the most part there's not enough to really feed a family for even a week, and some of the food banks only allow a person to come ONCE A MONTH!

America, the breadbasket of the world, is facing a time of starvation, and unfortunately most of the country is still so caught up with the NEW opiate of the masses - Entertainment (television, movies, sports) that as long as they have their drug of choice, they don't even realize that the world as they know it has forever changed!

I would recommend that you read the Dreams and Visions of Dimitru Duduman. You judge whether they are true or not...just remember: God has been known to delay judgment for the sake of the elect and repentance, which may explain why America is still standing. However I think the time of delay has passed and before too long America will be facing the judgment of a righteous God.

Hint if you live in California, Las Vegas, New York or Florida you might be especially interested in the vision titled "America Will Burn" from September 1984.
