    Two Visions of America by Don Jans

    Evangelist Nick Vujicic: “America Wake Up! When will you repent? Blessed is the one who perseveres”

    OXNARD—““America Wake Up!  When will you repent?” said evangelist Nick Vujicic of Life Without Limbs during Sunday’s New Life livestream.  “I have a warning for America.

    “We need a National Day of Repentance—not just a National Day of Prayer.

    In 2 Chronicles 7:14 the Bible says:  ‘If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.’

    “Can 10 million people go to their knees and ask God for forgiveness of their sins?”  Vujicic said repentance was needed for abortions in America for debt (including church building debt), for neglecting children who need to be adopted or placed in foster homes.

    Blessed is the one who perseveres,” said Nick Vujicic. “Do you understand how exciting the times are; that we are alive. This is a moment the world has never seen.

    “Your boat needs an anchor in a storm as you face uncertainty to the maximum with different stressors you have never experienced before.  Every storm that has come has passed.  Even though the world has stopped—keep on going. What Covid-19 has done is to strip away what we considered normal to reveal how much we need God every day.

    “God has opportunities for you? Where are you? Do you have love for the lost? for the weary? for those who have no hope?

    “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance” (James 1:2-3)

    • Do not be surprised; nor fearful:

    Most of us, find ourselves in humble circumstances. I thank God that He puts us in humble situations and circumstances. The Bible says over 365 times to ‘fear not.’  Do not be surprised by your trials and tribulations.  God is using us; to tell others about God. Jesus can use you to let others know.

    “God is in control. God has a purpose in this for you.  My Lord and my Savior has already defeated the grave and He lives in me.  When you persevere, you will see the faithfulness of God.”

    • Stop and listen:

    “My wife asks me three questions each month:

    –What is something you don’t want me to do?

    –What is something I am doing you want me to do?

    –What is something I am not doing that you want me to start doing?

    “Has God stopped you in your tracks?”  

    • Trust and obey:

    “To be happy in Jesus, you must trust and obey. Are you trusting God today? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. Do you stand on the rock? God will help you. Open your mouth and God will speak through you. Tell others your story.  Tell them what Jesus did for you. Share with five people this week. Trust and obey.”
