The Range Of Wicked

Love you all, praying for you, 
 
I just love God’s Word.  It tells about the righteous and the wicked.  There is only One who is righteous.  That’s God.  Our righteousness is only in Him.  What is righteous?  Right Standing and Right Doing.  You can never do enough to make yourself righteous… Once you sin once… humpty dumpty is broken, and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, cannot put humpty dumpty back together again.  Once you sin, you’re a sinner, and sinners cannot live in heaven with God. He’s Holy.  They need a Savior, Someone Righteous, to pay the penalty their sin requires.  Only faith in Jesus’ death on the cross in your place, makes you righteous, and only the righteous can ever live for eternity in heaven with God.  Once you have been made righteous – then righteousness is not just right standing, but right doing.  That’s why He gives you the Holy Spirit and His grace to do it.  His blood is the power to Be right.  His Holy Spirit is the power that helps us do right.  We cannot do it on our own.  That’s why God says to walk in the Spirit so you don’t fulfill the desires of your old man.  So what is wicked?  Wicked is any thought or act that is less than God’s best – that dishonors or displeases him, that is contrary to His Word.  Have you ever noticed, wicked has a range…From wicker – a little off, not straight, a little crooked – to downright pure evil.    Sometimes the ‘little off,’ is more dangerous than pure evil on the wicked spectrum.  Pure evil is obvious and you would reject that outright.  It’s the ‘little off’ that can catch you, and entrap you.  Nothing worse than thinking you’re right when you’re not.  A man wise in his own eyes, there’s more hope for a fool than for him.  The only way wicked remains, is if the righteous do not reject it.  If compromise with God’s truth is allowed, and tolerated in your life, then wicked, a little off, will inevitably become pure evil.  For any nation in crisis.  God gave the solution.  If my people, which 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 forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  The problem in this nation is sin.  We need forgiveness, and it starts with the wicked who are God’s people on the first part of the spectrum, and those who having lingered there long enough, have now bought into pure evil.  If my people, forget about the godless, God can handle them. If my people, called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray.  And seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways.  If we don’t humble ourselves, if we don’t pray, if we don’t seek His Face, and if we don’t turn from our wicked ways – not the wickedness we see in others, but the part of the spectrum that we are on… if we don’t He cannot - heal this land, it will be lost.  But if we will…  He will.  He promised.  If we will be humble, and pray, and seek Him with all of our heart, and turn from the wickedness in our lives – that He reveals by our seeking…  Then He Will hear from heaven, and forgive our sin, and heal this land.  Praise God.  He has never lied, He will do it.  Praying that you will reject wicked on every part of the spectrum in your life.  That you will be pure – unmixed, uncompromised, that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your might, and all your mind.  Nothing you are compromising with is the least bit worth it.  It is useless, fruitless, it is foolishness, only deception.  God has better!  Infinitely better!  Eternally better!.  Praying that you will seek His Face, and turn from anything else.  That you will know His plan for you today, and do it!  So you will know the God who is Good, Who has good for you, and Who will hear and forgive and heal.  So this nation can be saved.   God, would You save America.  So when we hear the Word of the LORD – what do we do, just read or hear?  Or do we act?  What if you got on your knees, or even skipped a meal, and humbled yourself.  What if you said, “God, I humble myself, I pray for your grace, I now seek your face, let me desire your presence, and your word more than anything else.  I turn from my wicked ways, anything that you did not tell me to do, or said not to do, I turn from it right here and now, I reject it.  Thank you for hearing from Heaven, thank you for your forgiveness, thank you for healing this land.  God, would You save America.  Let us be what You created us to be.  A light to the world, to share the good news of Jesus, and walk in the freedoms that are the God-given birthright of every human being – made in your image.  In Jesus’ Name.   Praying that you will act.  That you will reject not just pure evil, but wicked on every part of the spectrum.  His Holy Spirit and His Grace will help you – so God can hear from heaven, and forgive our sin, and heal this land.
