National Corruption

In the book of Acts chapter number 17 we see an incident in the life of the Apostle Paul wherein his spirit was stirred because of the wickedness and the idolatry in the city of Athens. In Acts 17 and verse 16 it says, “Now while Paul waited for them at Athens his spirit was stirred in him when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.” My question to every saint of God, every person that’s truly born again, is this, “Is your spirit stirred because of the corruption, the debauchery, the iniquity, the transgression against God's law in our nation?”

Our nation is corrupt. Our churches are corrupt. Our school systems are corrupt in more than one way and definitely anti-Christian. I want to see a revival in this nation that alters our culture. We need a restoration. We need a spiritual reformation in this nation.

In Isaiah chapter 58 verse 1 it says, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”

I Kings Chapter 12 tells of the debauchery and the sinfulness that Jeroboam the first king of Israel brought to the House of Israel. He created a manmade house of worship. He ordained manmade priests, manmade feast days, and manmade sacrifices. That’s what I call fig tree religion, but God said he's going to do something about the corruption that was brought about by King Jeroboam. Do you think that the Lord no longer takes account of national corruption? Yes, He does.
