Think it can’t happen here?
Separation of Church
And StateSomething to think about and pray about. Are you about your Father’s Business?
Luke 2:40-42
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
vs 49. “And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my father’s business?” And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
No matter who you are, or what you do, if you are a Christian, you have a job to do for God. You are never too young or too old to work for him. We all have a job to do. In the above text, Jesus was 12 years old, and he realized that he must be about the Father’s Business.
How do you know what God wants you to do? You have to pray and trust Him to show you. Get the word into your heart, and ask him to open up spiritual things to you.

GOJRA, Pakistan — The blistered black walls of the Hameed family’s bedroom tell of an unspeakable crime. Seven family members died here on Saturday, six of them burned to death by a mob that had broken into their house and shot the grandfather dead, just because they were Christian. New Your Times
We all need to pray for our fellow Christians in Pakistan and in different countries. It could easily happen here in our country.
The Separation of Church and State that threw out prayer in our schools could easily change this country into one that we don’t recognize at all. Already, our country has forgotten God. Hell is enlarging itself daily. Abortions are rampant. This country was founded on Christian Principles and is now being led down a path of destruction.
God holds us accountable for what our leaders do. He judges us as a nation. If our leaders don’t do right, our country doesn’t get His blessings. He always has victory for His Children. The Bible says that “many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all.” It is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and to vote for Christian Principles. We already have a President who goes overseas and says that we are not a christian nation, but a nation of citizens.
The atheists are launching movements to put signs on buses that tell people you can be a good person without God. They also are suing to have God taken out of our Pledge of Allegiance, and have “In God We Trust” taken off the buildings around Washington.
Our Children are taught Evolution in school instead of the creation of the world by God. The Ten Commandments aren’t allowed in any public buildings. Think it not strange that our economy is in the tank. I never thought that I would see where Americans are starving and can’t find a job anywhere. Some have lost their homes, and are living in vehicles, and tents.
God needs His People to stand up for what they believe in. It doesn’t matter what denomination you are, the Church of Jesus Christ needs to unite and pray for this great nation of ours, and for other countries. Time is short, and if you are going to do anything for God, now is the time to do it. You may never get another chance.
We must be about the Father’s Business. We must unite and pray for the world. Already in the USA a hatred of Christians is growing. It is even in the Main Stream Media. The devil has rocked the church to sleep. God needs us to become prayer warriors for His Kingdom. We have to put on the full armour of God, and stand on his word.
They say if you leave your cell phone charger plugged in without your phone it is using electricity. In the same way, we need to get on God’s charger and stayed plugged in to Jesus. We must be about our Father’s business. We are promised that if we humble ourselves and pray, then God will heal our land. We have to do it.
When the disciples came together in the upper room, when they all prayed with one accord and with one mind, then the Holy Spirit came. I believe it is the 11th chapter of the Book of Acts.
Take inventory of your life. Ask yourself if you are praying and reading the word like you should. Are you doing what the Lord would have you do? Are you doing your Father’s business?
