Bob Jones: People Are Issuing False Decrees Against America by Bob and Bonnie Jones Dec 6, 2013 Bob Jones: God Bless America While in a trance on the afternoon of July 26, 2008, Bob heard the audible voice of God say, "America has forgotten Kate Smith's song...God Bless America! They are cursing America more than blessing her with their words. Their words have power. I have not forgotten her; I love her. If they don't begin to bless America, she will go down!" Now again this year, on November 18th, the Lord rebuked Bob by saying, "You pray for everything else, but you've forgotten to pray for America. It's time to decree the blessings of God over this nation. People are issuing false decrees against her, and this is not My desire. Now begin to bless America and I will heal her land." God Has A Plan For America We must pray to cancel the power and authority of the spoken word that would not be in alignment with God's divine will and destiny for this nation. We have a great heritage in this nation. Our forefathers dedicated their lives and died in bravery to ensure our freedom. Our Constitution was framed by the words of Christian men dedicated to guarantee all Americans' freedom. Let us not forget their words and deeds; indeed, let us remember the fortitude of these brave fathers who worked together to form our Constitution allowing us to be free. We are "yet" one nation under God dedicated by our fathers for His service. Let us pray and release the blessings of our heritage that our forefathers died for. God loves America; she supports Israel, and that is His wife. We must be diligent to pray for Israel as well. I believe that God blesses America because she blesses Israel and Israel is the apple of His eye. We need to cancel the power and authority of the spoken word against her. It's always been a matter of birthright. The devil wants Israel, but she belongs to God. The Lord showed me political leaders of foreign nations that desire to see America fail. There are nations that look upon America as the great satan, and their words are destructive against her. We must stand on the promises of God for this nation and proclaim victory. Kate Smith's Song I believe we have, like so many other things, just taken our liberties for granted. We are facing perilous times, and unless we turn our face back to God and seek His wisdom and guidance, we will be a nation apart from God; a nation without hope. In the lyrics "God Bless America," composer Irving Berlin takes the form of a prayer asking God to bless America by standing with her and guiding her in the darkest of times by the beacon of His everlasting light. Although composed during WWI it has remained synonymous with our freedom. God Bless America by Irving Berlin God bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, My home, sweet home. Pray That God Blesses America We need to continually pray for our nation: God bless America! We desperately need His blessings. There are many nations who don't bless America; instead, they curse it. The United States is comprised of many nations (ethnic groups) that dwell within her, but there are some of those nations that refuse to bless America. They actually curse her, as it is their plan to see her destroyed, but we can bless America. We need to love those people groups and pray for their salvation. Pray they will begin to see that God loves them and this nation. America, Bless God We always ask God to bless America, and I believe we should; America needs all the blessings she can get. However, I feel that we as a nation should not forget to first bless God. Why? Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Psalm 33:12 There should also be a humbling of our heart and crying out to God in repentance for the wickedness of our transgressions as a nation; then 2 Chronicles 7:14 will be profoundly effective. ...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Are we a nation that has lost the fear of the Lord? Have we put our trust in man and money and other gods of this world? Are we an island unto ourselves? We need a far greater wisdom than man can produce, and we cannot make it without God. If there's anything we need now, it's godly wisdom. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom... Psalm 111:10a We need to bless God daily for His faithfulness, His love, grace, and mercy. Bless Him for our salvation and daily deliverance from the evil one. He is the breath we breathe and the song we sing. He is the fiber of our being. He is our all in all! I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1 Even in the very worst situation God will never leave us or forsake us. We must never dwell on the negativity of the circumstance surrounding us but focus on the victorious outcome that lies ahead. When we trust God to deliver us from the evil one, we become God-centered instead of self-centered. We must praise Him in all things big and small. He is always well-prepared to handle any situation. Too often we feel we can do it apart from God, and we try in our own strength and fail. Then, after we're totally frustrated, we call upon the Lord. We need to get this scenario right! I will call upon the LORD, Who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:3 There is nothing that ever takes God by surprise. And I believe the stronger the battle the greater the purpose. That's why Isaiah 59:19b says, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him." God does the work if we trust Him and lay our burdens upon Him. We just need to commit ourselves to bless the Lord with all of our being, as He alone is worthy to be praised. Five Years of Grace There has been a five-year grace period since the first warning, and God's desire is to bless this nation, but His people won't pray. Bob felt it necessary to issue this warning once again! Bless America, don't curse her. God has not given up on her and neither can we. Our words have the power to bless or curse, so we need to begin to bless America with our conversation (see Deuteronomy 30:14-20). We don't want God to lift His hand of mercy from upon us. But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. "See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call Heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." Deuteronomy 30:14-20 Let us be a people who cry out to God for His mercy and grace and who, as a nation, return to our First Love in the same way as our forefathers did in the formation of this nation. Let us enter into the blessings of God, and let His light shine upon us to prosper this nation with His peace, love, and truth.
