ARTICLE: AMERICA COULD LEARN A LOT FROM A 
THIRD WORLD COUNTRY🎺

🎺My beloved, I have had the blessed privilege of traveling to other countries over the years, and it wasn't until I went on a mission to India, that I experienced a significant revelation. Please allow me to share a short story with you.

👣I remember vividly, the morning I, and a group of dynamic Spirit-filled believers in Christ, stepped out onto the streets of Bombay, India, and we realized we were about to experience an amazing culture shock. An immediate "Third World Country Welcome Wagon" of horrid stench seemed to cloak our bodies and grip our five senses. This reality began to dwindle as we were surrounded with the incredibly resilient and loving citizens of Bombay, India. The overcrowded streets were riddled with a massive crowd of of adults, beggar children, bejeweled cows and a hypnotic, rhythm of drums, afar off in the distance. It was as if we had stepped into pages of The Bible; a scene where Jesus would be found surrounded by hungry people-- with a hunger and thirst for, not only food and water for their bodies, but "the Bread of Life" and "Living Water" for their souls. As a member of a Christian Mission Team there in India, a great harvest of souls were ripe and ready for the Advancement of Father God's Kingdom.

A great multitude of beggars and vendors stretched out and over every makeshift sidewalk on Bombay's Main Street market-- leaving little, to no room, for those who seemed blessed to own a bike for transportation.

We moved at a snail's pace as vendors surrounded us with various silk scarves, jewelry and unrecognizable food items; persistently begging us, and other foreigners, to buy. Beautiful dirt-smudged faces, louse-ridden hair, and expressive big brown eyes of children; tugging on us for candy, money or the simplicity of a loving smile. 😀

I recall pulling a piece of wrigley's spearmint gum from my top shirt pocket and handing it to a young boy; he, in turn, did something I did not expect...he took that little piece of gum and divided it into seven pieces and shared it with the other beggar children around him. This incident of these beggar children looking out for one another spoke of a great lesson for Christians: we too should always "be open to share and to have each other's backs". 👍

Having an 18-month son back in California at the time, and seeing so many beggars and orphan children on these Bombay streets, was overwhelming. Many moments throughout my time on that India Mission Trip, I would pull out the small photo of my son, Noah; saying a prayer of protection and gratefulness for him and his mother, while also giving thanks to Father God for America's blessings.

There are almost no words to describe the reality of India's regions of intense famine and disease. I cried many tears during my time spent walking through Bombay's community; seeing the evidence of overwhelming deprivation that was so contrary and clashed with the incredible smiles and loving tenacity of a people who could teach humility to America's Inflated Pride and Self-righteousness. 😰

NOTE: I believe it takes an individual to visit a third-world country, like India, in order to grasp the reality of just how "BLESSED" America is. It grieves me to even have to refer to The USA, as a nation with "inflated pride" and "self-righteousness". A lot of American citizens don't like hearing another American describe our nation in this manner-- but I LOVE America very much and I strongly believe I wouldn't have to say such things if America wouldn't have removed the Supremacy of God Almighty out of Center of all of Her national and international affairs. ✝

My beloved Family in Christ, to include ALL of our INCREDIBLE Veterans and their wonderful families who are and have sacrificed so much for this Country, What is happening to our nation? Almighty God set our beloved country apart from other nations, to serve as an example to all the nations of the world; an example of what happens when a nation declares The Supremacy of The One True Living God-- Almighty God (El ELYON). 🕯America has always been recognized as "a lighthouse", a "beacon" and "guiding light" to the lost souls on the "Sea of the Humanity of all Nations". She has always extended Her hand (and heart) out to those nations in need. Her banner and declaration has always proudly been "One Nation Under God" and "In God We Trust"....for His guidance, blessings and divine Favor. We have always been a nation that has experienced His Power and Blessings! And we have always given All of the Glory, Honor and Praise to HIM and NOT to ourselves. We stopped giving God the honor a long time ago and began taking credit for His Gifts of Wisdom and Favor in the eyes of other nations. In truth, when we look beyond "America's Facade of Greatness", we see that our nation, without God, is a mess! We all know that The America we once knew is fading quickly; and moves closer to memoirs and memories of yesteryear; and will one day be, but a whisper that is carried on the winds of what once was....AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL...and;

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." (1954, US Congress-President Eisenhower;
Section 4 of the Flag Code states)

I am grief-stricken to now have to describe God's "Beloved America" as "extremely arrogant, boastful, prideful"....And, "self-righteous", with Her many mantras that declare "A Progressive, Invincible, "Untouchable" Nation; where we no longer pay homage to The Supremacy of Almighty God (El EYON), but rather, to false gods and false religions. (I.e., Buddha/Buddhism or Allah/Islam or many gods/Hinduism).

With the mingling and mixing these false gods and religions, America's "One True and Living God (El ELYON) has been removed from our nation; Stars and Stripes are being trampled underfoot; and on the same dirt President Obama and His Administration have stomped profusely on America's sovereignty. I believe that slowly, but most assuredly, if Barrack Hussein Obama has it his way (and NOT God's), The Islamic Flag will slowly be raised to fly above America's White House!

It grieves me deeply to quote holy scripture that is currently so appropriate for the physical and spiritual condition (and cause of Her coming judgment and wrath) that America is currently in and under-- "The Sin of Lawlessness":

Proverbs 16:18 says, "Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall."

I believe there is still a small window of "God's Mercy" left open for America to acknowledge Her sins and repent! Judgment is coming, but I believe if America repents and turns from Her sins, the wrath for Her judgment may be lessened, as in the case of The City of Nineveh (Read Jonah 3 & 4).

2 Chronicles 7:14 "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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land".

MY BELOVED PLEASE PRAY FOR FATHER GOD'S MERCY ON BEHALF OF OUR NATION! MAY BLIND EYES BE OPEN TO SEE AND DEAF EARS OPEN TO HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SAYING! I LOVE You ALL My Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Like the little beggar boy in India, we too need to disperse God's blessings and provisions as needed...let's have each other's backs (in UNITY for prayer, wisdom, love) today! May Father God bless each of you abundantly in Jesus' Name! Amen!
