When they rebelled against the promises, God made a decision:
Numbers 14:26-30
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
If you love this world, God will let you stay. He did it before at Sodom. Remember Lot's wife? What are we doing with the promises God has given us? Jesus made a new covenant and what are you doing with that? Are you murmuring against God? Are you turning your back on the sacrifice Jesus paid for you? Are you so arrogant you count yourself equal with God as satan did and does? If any of this is true of you ... REPENT - or You Will Not Go To Heaven!
God is not mocked! He sees us! He hears us! This world is wickedness continually. It calls evil good and good evil. Remember we are to HATE the SIN but LOVE the SINNER! Now we have the military embracing the transgenders into its ranks. Last year it was gay marriages. Do you really believe that God will not punish America for our wicked rebelliousness?!! Have we learned nothing from Sodom and Gomorrah?! I and others are choosing to stand in the gap and repent for our country. Where do you stand? Count the cost before you make a promise to God to stand in the gap. If you are saved and decide you want to stand in the gap and repent for our nation, please pray this prayer with me and continue to pray each day.
Abba, Father, we come before you with worship and praise! You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The great I AM! We bow down before you in repentance for the wicked rebellion of our nation. Lord, please accept our repentance and help us to pray Your Will even more effectively during these last, darkening hours. Bring to our remembrance that we are your warriors, servants, salt and light with responsibilities in these positions. Holy Spirit, strengthen us to stand boldly and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus that men will hear and turn from their wicked choices to embrace Jesus' sacrifice. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen!
