Return to God: How Christians Can Intercede for America

By Denise Robinett

The headlines are depressing. The information we need to make sound decisions or choose political leaders or even understand the weather is often biased and peppered with propaganda. Our institutions have failed. Families are under attack from every angle, and children are offered up on the altar of narcissism and woke culture. Our country is being invaded at the southern border. Americans are dying from suicide, drugs, man-made viruses, and lawlessness while lying, and censorship has invaded the public discourse needed to address these fatalities.

America has seen better days. Hope for a return to sanity is fading fast.

Every American has an interest in the health and welfare of our country, but Christians are called to a higher standard than self-interest. Christians are called to respond to darkness with God's truth, prayer, and loving actions. Disciples of Jesus are commanded to love God and love others, and in keeping with this command, Christians have a duty to intercede for America.

Is it too late to ask God to heal America? Do we know how to return to God? Will God hear us? How do we know what to do when many "woke" churches have joined the enemy?

This is a practical book about how to return to God. It was written after years of praying and fasting for insight into the divine prescription for a terminally ill nation. If you want to follow Jesus's example, and if you are tired of watching evil win, this book shows you how to return to God in the way he prescribes. Based on the three actions of Revelation 1:3--reading, hearing, and heeding--the book is a map for Christians called to partner with God during this time of growing apostasy.

Unapologetically calling out sin and rebellion, this book provides step-by-step guidance for reclaiming your Christian life and helping your family, church, and nation the way God directed it centuries ago. This book is both a scriptural-based commentary and a Bible study to guide individuals, families, and churches in petitioning God to save a dying country.

Preface

Speaking the truth in love is not easy, and like Jesus's early followers, I am a common disciple of the Lord repeating the truth of his word. The Lord prepared me to give this message after many years of prayer and study. I risk offending you or being dismissed as politically incorrect or being seen as outdated. However, this is not about me. This is about following Jesus and realizing our desperate need for him.

As we look around at the current state of America, shock and grief are often our first responses. If we remember that Jesus came into our world in a dark time, and he chose to challenge the leaders and culture, then we can respond differently and speak the truth in love with courage. But how can we speak the truth or advocate for God's way or set an example for Jesus when we have forsaken his word? How can Christians be salt and light, as Jesus requires, if we are living in a state of rebellion against God?

This book is about our need for and the process of returning to God. I wrote this book hoping that every reader will understand God's great love and his power to change our lives and set things right. But if you do not believe in God's word as the measure of our lives, then you should stop reading now. There is no evidence that could convince you other than the continuing consequences of our nation's rebellion. Perhaps that would not be enough either.

For believers in God's word, please note that the church must return first. The church members sitting in pews Sunday mornings, who are not keeping God's commandments, who have embraced a sinful culture and supported false teaching, must return. Christians are called to follow Jesus and cautioned not to use Jesus's atoning death to excuse their sinfulness. Until we return to God in complete submission and devotion, with a zeal for God's way, then we cannot expect God to return to us with healing and restoration. This is clear from scripture.

We are instructed to test every word presented to us, so I ask you to look up the scripture used to support the message of this book and test it for yourself with prayerful consideration.

God is calling us back to him. Time is short. The message is urgent! The consequences of a wrong decision are fatal. He is calling us to choose life and not death. Here are the words of God spoken
