‘Amos 8:11-14
“The time is coming,” says Adonai ELOHIM,
“when I will send famine over the land,
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of ADONAI.
People will stagger from sea to sea
and from north to east, running back and forth,
seeking the word of ADONAI;
but they will not find it.
When that time comes, young women and men
will faint from thirst.
Those who swear by the sin of Shomron,
who say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’
and, ‘As the way of Be’er-Sheva lives’—
they will fall and never get up again.”
This is America today, like Israel under Yarov’am we have made our own religion instead of heeding the Word of God. It is that lack of knowledge of God’s Word that has our country reeling under riots, violence, animal encroachment, droughts, diseases, and moral corruption. The young have no hope but see only despair in a life that muddles forward without the living water coming from ADONAI’s Throne. As believers we must stand in the gap and pray healing for our land just as Eliyahu prayed until that little cloud appeared coming in from the sea. Lord let me have the disciple, drive and desire to intercede for Your people. I ask this in Yeshua’s name, amen.
