A Warning To America - Part 8

...are affected by crime annually. He has got such no tolerance, zero tolerance of crime. He's the envy of the whole world. Cities across the world with a tenth of that population, they're scared to put their foot out of the door in the night without being mugged. He's got a city you can walk to at two o'clock in the morning, you don't get mugged most of it. He's the envy of the world. He's got people been flying in from a... brought in by governments. What did this man do right, this mayor of New York? We need to learn from him, because no city on the earth is safe anymore the way things are going. What has he done? Teach us. Oh, he really is something, this man, and he's unsaved. He said these words, the law of freedom of speech in America gives you the right to do this. You're covered by the law, but I'm the mayor of this city, it's my city. I'm going to make another law to cancel out the law of America. I'm going to make a law that every block in New York City, in Manhattan, every block that has a resident staying, anybody staying residential, a family, anybody like a residential, like a... where homesteads are, in that block, none of these buildings are allowed to... no shop will be allowed. And he said, I'll put people in every single block, but I'll close you down. And he said, don't wait for me to do, don't force me to do that. He says, I'll tell you why. Those of you that don't close your doors now, right now, I'm going to march in there with my police. I'm going to go through your books. I'm going to find things that will crush you, and you know I will crush you. I will crush you. You close now, or I will destroy you. I commend you, sir, if you ever hear this tape. You're not shamed, I've prayed so much for your soul, but I commend you. You are gallant. Well, I went and preached. I came ahead of my family by two, three weeks to preach around, and then landed up in this church. And my family joined me, and then we went to New York after the lovely fellowship they gave us, and the way they honored us. And I took my children to Times Square, and I started weeping again. My children, my family don't ask me why I weep. I weep so much, you know. They kind of just get used to it. They just looked at me as I walked, holding their hands, as I walked through Times Square. I suppose they wondered why is he weeping now. But I was weeping a different weeping. There was no agony. There was no torment or indignation at Satan, what he's done. There was joy. There was gratitude. There was worship going on. As I said, thank you, God. As I looked at these buildings, they were like buildings that had been destitute. They ripped everything off the outside, every light, every neon light, every sign, and they were empty like ghost houses. Let me tell you something, Christians of America. There is nothing God will not do for you for this land to be healed. If you get right with God, and you begin to pray on your knees, the only army that will ever save America from what the devil's trying to do to her is the army of God's people on their knees. But if you get right with God, if you begin to seek God, America's Christians, stop fighting my doctrine or my standards, sir. You won't have a land to be even liberal in your church later. You better get right with God, and do what your heart tells you. Seek God for righteousness. Get back to this book. It's my people who are called by my name in America. I believe you say it's out of its context. I'm big enough to say it's in its context. It's what God holds out to any land. This book was not history. It's God's word to today. Knowing its context to be safe, but be careful. Don't bury God's dealings or promises to anything, especially his people. We're the people. Let me tell you, there are enough Christians in America, and if they got down as an army, there's no army that will outnumber them for force, for God. There's nothing the devil has done in this land that you will not undo in days, perhaps three weeks, I would say. I'd say give yourself three months, and you will not believe how this whole land is turning back to God through you. Do all the things that are defiling and destroying and despairing you. Don't wait for the politicians to become righteous. It's the church. I don't blame the politicians. I blame the church for what state your country's in. You should be on your knees, and you should be in war, and you could undo anything the devil's done, but you're listening more to the television news than you are on your knees. You're sitting there watching in hopelessness and unbelief and criticizing the government as our fault. It's my people God's waiting for to get down before God. Don't worry about the news anymore. Get down before God. You know enough to know you need to get down before God and get through in war. And by the by, these Muslim people of the world, Islam, suddenly the world's trembling, and America's trembling. We're all trembling because there's no rational reasoning with these people that we can think a decent human being could think. They're thinking it. I want to tell you something. I'm not against your politicians. I'm not political. What's going on to try and stop those elements that are all... I'll tell you this, though. You want to stop what they're going to do to the world, Christians of America and Christians of the world. It won't stop. We're just tasting what's coming, but they will stop when you get down on your knees and start praying for Islam to be saved. Return to Christ. Do you honestly believe that every born again Christian in America who's truly born again got right with God, which is so easy, and blood is there if you really want it and really mean business, and started praying earnestly, every born again believer on their knees like an army against the devil who's brought such darkness to these people? If you do honestly believe, is there one of you sitting here that doesn't honestly believe that within three months millions of Muslims would turn to Christ if we were all crying for God to do it? Do you honestly believe God would turn his face and say, no? I'll tell you something. Wait for politicians to deal with the problem, and you won't have a country left, and further field. You won't have a world left just now, Christians. You better get to war with the weapons God's given you. While you have a moment left to do it, you'd better do it, and God will honor you. There's only one problem. There's only one fear in my heart, only one, that Christians are too proud to admit they need to see God first, and confess their sins, and their compromises, and their liberals, and their worldliness, and their methods. They'll be too proud to say we need to get down in desperation, and get right first, and confess our sins, and turn from our wicked ways, so that God can forgive us first, and then heal the land through us on our knees, and pray for the land. That's the only fear I have for America. That's the only danger America is in, is if the church is too proud to get down before God, in desperation to get right with God. Your history is in your hands, Christians, and this Bible tells me that. God is waiting. God is seeking. God is longing. It's not God's fault.
