"The hedge"

Isaiah 5:5; I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed: I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground. That is a  straight foreword strong word, from God concerning Israel about their unfaithfulness and idolatry. God in His great love and mercy tells why He is going to do this if they didn't return to Him. He starts out through telling a prophetic parable about a vineyard and what He has done for it in order for it to bear good fruit. God called Israel His well-beloved, the apple of His eye. With many other names God gave to His people reflecting His love for them. He says I built a hedge of protection around this vineyard. Removed all the stones, placed it on a fertile hill and put a tower in the middle of the vineyard. Expecting it to produce good grapes, but it only produced worthless ones. This didn't happen overnight but over years with God sending prophets to speak to them wowing and warning them to come back to their Father, but they refused. Instead they rebelled, forsook His commands, followed after idols and false gods. Even offering their children upon the alter of Moleck. His warning was this verse that describes what He was going to do. We see in other places in Isaiah, Jeremiah similar warnings of impending judgment if they did not return to Him. Sadly they didn't return to their Father and the prophecy came to pass. When judgment came they became arrogant and vowed to rebuild what God tore down even stronger. Is God still calling His people back to Him today? The answer is yes! But not only Israel but even America. Why? Because these two nations have similar callings from God. Blessed to be a blessing to all nations. Founded upon Gods principles and promises. If these nations would follow after God and obey His commands He would bless and prosper them that they would be that light to all nations. America like Israel has forsaken God and gone after other gods causing other nations to follow suit, putting the blood of those nation upon America. Has God been sending warnings to America of impending judgment? Has God already in different forms brought judgment to America? I believe He has, but just like Israel we are not listening. Can God bring an awakening to this nation? Of course! With God all things are possible. But the question should be, will God bring an awakening to not only this nation but the whole earth? Again the answer is yes! But when and how is the most important questions"I see a tremendous shaking coming, that will usher in a repentance to this nation." I can recall one important event that nearly brought America to its knees in repentance. It was the 9-11 attack on American soil the day that the twin towers fell and all America saw that our hedges (defenses) were broken down. In the days following many were being stirred, churches were being filled, it looked like this could be the next awakening. But something very troubling happened. Instead of this nation humbling itself and recognizing this was a judgment from God, we rose up in defiance against our enemy declaring we will rebuild even better than before. This caused a shift from what could possibly have been a mighty revival, to perhaps God bringing further judgments. "There was no true repentance." Church leaders got on board and began to preach from the pulpits that this was not a judgment from God but a terrorist attack on our nation. They were declaring half truths which watered down any hopes of a national revival. Since 9-11 this nation has fallen away from God to the degree that it will take a tremendous shaking. God will continue to remove our hedge and break down our walls, (in our financial institutions, governments, production, food sources, medical, defenses, our total infrastructure), to bring this nation to its knees long enough that true repentance will come forth and a mighty awakening will be born. God does not wish that any should parish, but that all would come to repentance. (1 Peter 3:9) Have you personally felt that your hedge has been crumbling? Has God in His love and mercy been allowing certain things to happen in your life in order for His child to come back to Him?  The scripture in Hebrews 12: 4-11 says He disciplines those that He loves. It may not happen right away because God is patient, but when He knows and sees that we are not turning around He will intervene, getting our attention by bringing His discipline. Looking for a true 180 degree shift putting us back on the right path. Church, you who are called by His name, it is our calling and responsibility to cry out in the night watches for this nation. It not a time to hold back but stand and be a witness of rightness. The Spirit is calling us to build up our hedges through intercession, compelling the people to come to the banqueting table. (Luke 14:23). That we would cover the earth with the glory of God and the deep darkness that covers the people will be illuminated with the Light of Christ.Yes these are the days that good is being called evil and evil good. But these are also the days of Elijah! Standing against the religious spirit with the sword of the Spirit. Pointing the way with the word to Christ the messiah and being crouched down on the ground calling forth the rain of awakening!
