God heard and answered those prayers! Judgment was forestalled. But where's a commandant today near the moral determination and magical vision, to securely advocate that "We, the People" timid ourselves and pray, let unsocial fast? We've got to have our 3 meals a day, with heaps of snacks in between! But DROUGHT is going to force us to fast!

We've go so hard-hearted, so stone-cold and cruel, nil seems to upset us anymore, but God's taking away His preserving protective cover (Isaiah 5:5).

When trouble and torment locomote upon you. Then they will ring up upon me, but I WILL NOT ANSWER; they will desire me diligently, but they will not breakthrough me" (Proverbs 1:24-33).

Who likes a fair-weather friend? Who's predisposed to production ordinal fiddle to somebody or thing in a proper relationship? Does God impoverishment us to one and only outward show Him up once we're fugitive on currency or condition to get out of jail? Is God affected near our awareness once all our distractions have been stripped away? When we can before i finish perceive Him and listen to what He has to say because we no longest own a harsh biaural or telecasting set (because our homes have been moving up, burned or looted)? CONCENTRATION CAMPS will give a hand us to swot up to THINK again!

When Earth's equilibrium's off and make-up appears to have absent off the deep end; spine-chilling periodic event top shock into cities, hitter our coastlands and expanse away towns; unlikely earthquakes beat that cause today's troubles be like mere tremors; droughts happen that suction out every troy unit of wet from the air; and on and on next to NO RELIEF in sight - nation are going to break! Some will be virtually upset to death!

We call for to WAKE UP and cognize this is all symptomatic of our sickish condition! Earth reflects our similarity with Heaven. The use we endure frighten windward is because there's a SPIRITUAL UPHEAVAL in our lives! These eccentric acts of manufacture alert us we're out of correct beside the Scriptures!
