God stood in front of Abraham. (Genesis 18)

“Can I do in Sodom what I am about to do and not tell Abraham?” He reasons.

The answer is a resounding “No!”

How do I know?

Because Abraham began to intercede for Sodom. Abraham connected with Adonai’s heart and began to intercede.  “If I can find 50 righteous in the city, will you save Sodom?” Abraham asked God.

God agreed. After Abraham goes from 50, to 30, t0 20, down to 10, “the LORD went his way” (Gen. 18:33); and needless to say the cites of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because there were not even ten righteous people in them.

Well, He says today: “Can I do in  America what I am about to do and not tell my Faithful?”
The answer is still a resounding “No!”

As He stands in our presence, can we connect with Adonai’s heart?

• Do we believe God’s Word over the word of Supreme Court judges?
• Do we get depressed over their ruling on gay marriage or do we allow the Holy Spirit to motivate us to advance the Kingdom?
• Do we sit and watch the news & listen to all the talking heads or do we get in the Word of God and seek His truth!
• Do we realize that Biblical truth has nothing to do with political correctness!? Political correctness does not abrogate God’s commands.
• Do we realize that the Kingdom of this World is totally opposite from the Kingdom of Darkness?
• Do we beseech the Lord for our nation the way Abraham invoked the Lord for Sodom?

What did Abraham do?

1. He drew near to God. (Genesis 18:23) Draw near, beloved!
2. He persistently and steadily interceded. (Genesis 18:24-31) Pray without ceasing, saints.
3. In fearful deference to the Almighty, he asked God to spare Sodom. (Genesis 18:30) Ask, favored ones.

Will we dare to let our lights shine brighter in a perverse world?

Will we apprehend God the way Abraham did: knowing that God will indeed destroy a city because of the wicked … BUT he will save a nation because of the righteous!

And when “He goes on His way” we will know that we have done as his love has mandated.
