Can Disaster Be Averted?

Can America be saved and disaster averted?

Many say judgment is unavoidable. And I would agree–at least for those who refuse to repent.

But will God bring judgment against his own people who cry out to Him?

Can disaster for America be diverted after our leaders have made alliances with the devil?

Who you align with, you will become.

Under Biden’s administration, funding to NATO was reinstated. He approved handing over our sovereignty to the World Economic Forum if they declare a “health crisis.” And for years our leaders have forced other nations to adopt and push abortion and transgenderism on their people or else financial aid would be stopped.

But this ungodly alliance with evil can be broken and disaster averted.

We know that because of history. Let’s look back at the life of Jehoshaphat then King of Judah.

Jehoshaphat made an alliance with the ungodly Ahab, King of Israel. The same evil Ahab who was married to the even more evil Jezebel.

That’s certainly making a deal with the devil.

Jehoshaphat created an alliance by marriage in exchange for peace rather than trusting God for peace. So when Ahab was facing war and asked Jehoshaphat to stand with him, Jehoshaphat immediately agreed, due to the alliance.

Jehoshaphat suggested they ask God if they should go to war only AFTER he agreed to help Ahab. Bad decision.

Jehoshaphat made multiple bad decisions during that time which almost cost him his life. But 2 Chron 18:31 says, when an army was poised to kill him, “Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him and God drew them away from him.”

That’s interesting when we remember Jehoshaphat was in sin & disobedience in that moment. He shouldn’t have been there and had made an alliance with God’s enemy. Yet God had mercy on him and protected him when he cried out to Him for help.

Don’t tell me God can’t protect America when we cry out for help, because history tells us otherwise.

In fact, after that wake-up call (and a reprimand from the prophet Jehu) Jehoshaphat turned around and became a God-fearing leader. He installed judges admonishing them to serve with the fear of the Lord and he admonished the people to serve God.

Sometime after that, three armies came to fight against Jehoshaphat and the Israelites. They were facing impossible odds. But now a changed leader, Jehoshaphat led with the instruction for everyone to fast and pray—

and God heard their cry.

I’m sure you remember the story. “As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated” (2 Chron 20:22).

Not only were their enemies defeated, but the Israelites didn’t have to lift a finger in that fight. They stood and watched God deliver them as the 3 armies turned against each other.

America is now facing impossible odds—with someone at the helm who DOES NOT fear God.

But there is a growing Remnant who does! We know that God hears our cry and is working behind the scenes.

I believe now as then, that He is going to cause the evil armies, determined to defeat us, to turn on each other as we continue to cry to Him for help. Yet, we also know that this isn’t about saving America per se, but about restoring hearts to Him.

What is it going to take for that to happen?

That is the in-between and where we must trust, because transformed hearts is the goal as America faces the impossible of those intent on destroying us.
