Quote from Dr. Missler:
"What I used to regard as patriotism I now regard as an obsolete form of idol worship.
The America that used to stand for freedom and liberty is a thing of the past.
I might say a myth of the past.
The net of it is though that I think the damage being done is not reparable. A lot of people think that in the coming elections this thing will probably be repaired. But I don't think so.
Even if it was I don't think the kind of damage that has been done to what we used to embrace as America - I think it's over. It is done and I think the times that are coming are more trouble than ever.
Now that may be a great blessing from a spiritual point of view. Our Chinese friends, the Chinese Church, prays for the American Church, prays for persecution because they believe that that will make it healthier. And they're really right in a sense.
But the point is, I think there are very, very dark times coming for America and the big challenge for all of us is a) to understand them and then be prepared to minister in those times because I think that things are going to get far more rough than most people have any idea.
The primary thing that overwhelms me is the Biblical illiteracy. In the pulpits, not only in the pews !
And so, I think it's time to do our homework. A time for us to dust off the things we knew and make sure we do, and be prepared to give people answers.
And I think that the primary thrust is to get serious about it. I think that it's a question of stewardship of our hearts...and I think God wants to be Number One on a list of One, not ten.
And so I think that now is the time to focus, now is the time to take Him seriously. And I think everyone of us are called to a specific ministry and they're not the same. And the great adventure in life is to discover that specific ministry He has called us to and then get about it, get on with it.
Because I think that the time is short, its exciting, its challenging and preparation is essential. Now is the time."
