Act of God Today I would like to discuss with you the subject "Act of God". In the book of Genesis, God allowed Joseph to be taken captive and to be enslaved down in Egypt. There was a purpose for that. As Joseph stated to his brothers, "you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good that the world might be saved. If you recall, Pharaoh had a dream about seven fatted cows and seven lean cows, seven ripe ears of corn and seven blighted ears of corn which meant that there would be seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. Joseph interpreted that dream for Pharaoh and became second in command in the Egypt. Because of his brothers sin, they were led to Egypt by God and when the Pharaoh that knew Joseph died, the new Pharaoh enslaved the Hebrew children. Thus began the repayment for their treatment of Joseph. God punished the whole tribe of Israel because of their sin and because Pharaoh touched them, God punished Egypt as well. I guess you say, brother preacher what does that have to do with the act of God? Let us examine the book of Revelation, chapter 8:8-11 concerning the power that was given to the angels. We are now facing a crisis. Flooding in the Midwest, contaminated food, earthquakes, fires, volcanic activity and the worst oil spill in the history of the world. All these things are spoken of in these three verses of Revelation. Take note, Wormwood. One Third of the water was poisoned. Many men died and many will die because of these oil polluted waters. Why is God doing this? Because our nations have gone a whoring after other gods. We have placed human will above the will of God. We have replaced morality with immorality. We have contaminated communities with discrimination, bigotry and harlotry. We have professed ourselves to be wise and have become fools. We have let our first love which is God and turned on each other, stated "Where is your God?" Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, God punishes nation. "The earth is mine, saith the Lord." We think we own everything. My house,my land, my car, my children, my money, my my my..... well, I don't see any houses being buried with anyone. I do not see any Brink Armor cars parked in the cemetery nor after dark will you see any human beings in the cemetery. Yes, God is punishing the world as he stated he would in the book of Revelation. Just look at all the technology we have, but yet we cannot cap a simple oil spill. This oil slick is larger then West Virginia and Maryland put together having the range of over 30,000 square miles. Oil has already washed up on Louisiana, Mississippi and is threatening the coast line of Florida and no one can stop it. Act of God. Read ladies and gentlemen. Priests and Prophets cry out against immorality and violence. Call for a fast. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in his due time and not yours. Yeah go ahead and say this is a crazy preacher. People said that about Noah until the flood came (125 years later). These things are not occurring by themselves. The mighty hand of God is behind it. Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent!
