Here is your report card New Mexico, this is what God has been showing me……
I love New Mexico, I have lived here longer than my beloved hometown, but I hate what it has turned into!
An old-timer told me, “I would not know rain if I saw it.”
Yep, that is just part of the story here in New Mexico, we are in a drought, most importantly in a Spiritual Drought! Much of the Church in New Mexico loves their high school pep rally’s, but it seldom gets to the point of our great sins and the need for change in our hearts, and the need for repentance. Hindrances to Prayer. The Church needs to raise up MATURE CHRISTIANS!!! MATURE PEOPLE OF GOD!!! NOT MORE POLITICS!!! SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, THOUGH A PERSISTENT AND UNWELCOME VISITOR, IS NOT SOMETHING WITH WHICH WE MUST CONSTANTLY LIVE. THERE ARE BIBLICAL MEANS BY WHICH WE CAN, BY GRACE, PUT OURSELVES IN THE WAY OF REFRESHMENT We kill God’s babies through abortion and expect to be blessed! We have a huge amount of child abuse in our state, we have children killing children with guns, I know, and we have child hunger here, oh yes! According to Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller we have 3,000 homeless children attending Albuquerque Public Schools!…….and we expect God to bless us? Our children are growing up in a very violent state and ungodly state. 6 in 10 New Mexicans Would Leave…….
My heartbreaks of all the devastation here in New Mexico. To think the largest fire ever in the state, the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak fire was started by a prescribed burn on a windy day, just makes me ill. More than 310,000 acres have burned. The Black Fire has burned over 105,000 acres. The Bear Trap Fire has burned nearly 80,000 acres. These figures have gone up, as the fires are still raging. You do the math, my heart breaks, all that land destroyed. This does not include all of the wildfires this year in New Mexico, the Valencia County Fire and Ruidoso Fire. Heads should roll from the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak fire, people need to be held accountable to one of the most horrific disasters in the history of New Mexico. THIS IS LOS ALAMOS ALL OVER AGAIN! When will the Forest Service be held accountable!!!??? Los Alamos Fire of 2000. I have seen no ‘fire’ from the Governor in demanding accountability! Some will never recover from this disaster, some have lost everything. This is a life changing disaster. My friend Pastor Dave Schumm from Glenwood, NM told me yesterday, “Losing all the trees, our forests, puts us in very bad shape, we need our trees, they create clouds and clean the air.” Planting Trees Encourages Cloud Formation—and Efficiently Cools the Planet. A new study shows that reforestation does more than shield the Earth with green leaves—it produces clouds that also protect the planet from the sun’s rays. Trees are much better at creating clouds and cooling the climate than we thought.
Governor Lujan Grisham is not doing enough for our state in so very many ways! What about water? I beleive the Governors mission is to give away money to everything that moves, to get reelected. I see her 15 second TV ads bragging about all the money she is handing out. How many New Mexicans will dig deep on the issues facing our state. I am hearing so many people talk about moving out of state. The future here does not look good at all. If the GOP cannot win the governors seat this year, it makes a huge statement on how many New Mexicans think. I am very disturbed that New Mexico continues to kill God’s babies through abortion, child abuse, child murder, children killing children with guns. Do you not see how bad you are New Mexico? You have become so very ungodly!
Did you watch the NM GOP Governors Debate last week? THE WATER ISSUE, PRESCRIBED BURNS, OUR FORESTS, TIMBER INDUSTRY WERE ALL ADDRESSED! Story Here
More evacuations ordered as Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire continues to spread
Drought Behavior Differs Depending on Where You Live, Says New Study
From Dr. Jim Denson this morning: Wisdom from A. W. Tozer
I fear that our culture’s continued slide into unbiblical immorality has conditioned many of us to sidestep personal sanctification. We are tempted to feel we are better than many whose stories we read daily, so we must be good enough. We also live in a compartmentalized culture that separates the spiritual from the secular and religion from the “real world,” so biblical holiness feels more like a Sunday sermon than a Monday requirement.
However, Scripture is clear: “As he who called you is holy, you also must be holy in all your conduct” (1 Peter 1:15, my emphasis). To this end, let’s close with an observation from A. W. Tozer:
Tozer then quotes this hymn by Charles Wesley:
Lord, incline me to repent;
Let me now my fall lament,
Deeply my revolt deplore,
Weep, believe, and sin no more.
