America
Spirit voice
Heard inside
Why this choice?
History screams
With horrid past
Listen close
this. won’t. last.
Precious Country
Built on trust.
God was first
So we must
Remember Him
When we say
Love my country
Love this way.
Precious Country
Freedom reigns?
We forgot
Our growing pains.
God is jealous
Loves us so.
If we forget
and let Him go.
Alpha. Omega.
Omnipotent One.
He is God
Where time begun.
He supplied
Love’s true cost
When His Son
Died on the cross.

Our salvation
Eternal freedom
YET, we. laugh.
just leave Him.
Erase His name
off the song.
The precious one
sung so long.
Allegiance pledged
every day
At our schools
Kids used to say
“One Nation
Under God!”
Said with pride
voices awed.
Present day
Things have changed
Sad day
America’s deranged.
No respect
None given
Even though
Past is written.
Our Country
All so lost
This will come
With tremendous cost.
Do you think
Religious war
Is a joke?
Sin has tore
Out the pages
Of our past
Blurry eyes
Forgotten so fast
This is what happens
When you change the past
Rewrite history
Those lessons MUST LAST!
They’re painful reminders
Of mistakes made
Why must they be
Double repaid?
God is jealous
remember that?
Sodom and Gomorrah
Disgusting fact.
Wrath of God
Seen that day
Pillars of salt
Sinners pay.
12 be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.
Forget God?
Sure, you’ll see.
What that choice
Brings for you and me.
There is room?
For other gods?
Bring them in?
The scary frauds?
Sit at our table?
Come in, stay?
No idea
Sad price to pay.
Pagan promises
Empty faith
No future
Empty space.
Satan lives
Within that lie
Convincing words
Will you buy?
Temptation, sin
Rotting fast
Temporary silence
Will not last.
You think you’re greater?
Convinced you can evolve
Past the Lord on high?
Where Everything revolves
HE spoke a word
WE came to be
Now RESPECT that
Hierarchy!!!
Keep the Lord
in His place
Wipe the smile
Off your face
He can see
What you have done
He will remind
Everyone…
Sick America
Our lost souls
Sad America
Devil trolls
Don’t you see
All the lies
Devil whispers
Then he pries
Away our freedom
Away our power
Soon you’ll see
And you’ll cower
As the enemy
Comes charging in
You will beg
for GOD to WIN.
I. AM. SORRY!!!!
You will scream
Please save me
I didn’t mean
To let You go
Make You fall away
Please come back
come to stay.
On your knees
You will plead
History repeats
Letters bleed.
History repeats
This horrid tale
Don’t you see
Your face is pale.
He seeks redemption
For denying His Son
Denying His love
and what was done.
Simple things
Must be fixed
Is it too late?
Time, it ticks.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
10 But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.
Look around
Become so strong
Put God first
Where He belongs
Deuteronomy 6-7 New International Version (NIV)
Love the Lord Your God
6 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, 19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.
20 In the future, when your son asks you, “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors. 24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today. 25 And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.”
Driving Out the Nations
7 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possessand drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites,Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you— 2 and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally.[b] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles[c] and burn their idols in the fire. 6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lordyour God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. 10 But
those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction;
he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.
11 Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.
12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lordyour God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young. 15 The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you. 16 You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?” 18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the Lordyour God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. 20 Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. 22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them. 25 The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the Lord your God. 26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
Amen! We are living in the last days. Thank God for his promise of eternity. Wonderful poem

Powerful poem! I pray for our nation and cry out to God to spread revival and righteousness through our land! We must keep God in everything! I pray He stops the violent mobs and brings justice and peace swiftly. I pray He roots out evil in our land and delivers us from it! I pray He protects our schools and our children from those who would warp their minds with teachings that are against God and His Word. I pray we keep standing up for Jesus and never back down! Amen! God bless you!

Thanks so much for your support. I pray that people read this with open minds and open hearts and that we all understand as a nation how powerful we are and that placing God at the forefront cannot be lost. Without Him we are nothing. Freedom is due our strong faith in the One True God. God bless you too! I pray God uses us to further His Kingdom!
