A Strange Drunkeness

One of my Facebook Friends, Nathanael Neuenschwander, commented on some gross stupidity on the part of American Leadership. The point of this post is not to be critical of the specific action of our leadership, but to share what Nathanael said that hit me so hard:

It is such a strange drunkenness that causes leaders to act this way. It is as though God has withdrawn his hand of restraint and men are drunk on the wine of judgment. They hold the country on the edge of total ruin and yet they laugh as though they would never be held accountable.
That is the prophetic. Strange drunkenness is the spirit of the age. A person hits a high and goes off into the ozone like a bum on a drunk. When it invades the mentality of our national leaders and even the leaders of churches, the drunkenness will cause ruin as certainly as drunkenness places a man or woman in the gutter.

We need sober leadership. We have drunks in charge.

Unrestrained.

Drinking to excess while the nation's family goes to ruin.

Sober up America!!

Another friend, David Allain says:
Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. It's not that they are completely blind to the deception they permit, and partake of. But they prefer the smooth path, or the path of least resistance. But it will end in death.


Great insight Men.

What God Says

Isaiah 29:
Suddenly, in an instant,
6 I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will act for you
with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and storm and consuming fire.
7 All the nations fighting against Jerusalem[b]
will vanish like a dream!
Those who are attacking her walls
will vanish like a vision in the night.
8 A hungry person dreams of eating
but wakes up still hungry.
A thirsty person dreams of drinking
but is still faint from thirst when morning comes.
So it will be with your enemies,
with those who attack Mount Zion.”

9 Are you amazed and incredulous?
Don’t you believe it?
Then go ahead and be blind.
You are stupid, but not from wine!
You stagger, but not from liquor!
10 For the Lord has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep.
He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries.
