"As the deer pants for the water brook, so my soul pants for You, Oh God. My soul thirsts for the living God..." Psalm 42:1-2

America pants not for living water but for bigger houses, wide screen televisions, new cars, condos on the beach; anything, everything but the living God. Blessed more than any other nation in history, America has taken each blessing and with arms outstretched reached for more. Americans race past the lost and hurting in their quest for bigger and better.

The LORD says:

"Order on order, order on order. Line on line, line on line. A little here, a little there. Indeed, He will speak to this people. Through stammering lips and foreign tongue, He who said to them "Here is rest, give rest to the weary," and "Here is repose," but they would not listen. So the Word of the LORD to them will be, order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line, a little here, a little there" That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive." Isaiah 28:11-13

Just as the people of Israel did to the prophet Isaiah, the people of America have done to the prophets sent to them by the Lord. America has rejected sound doctrine, which comes line upon line and precept upon precept. The word of the Lord sounded to them like stammering speech and like a foreign language. Therefore, the Lord will now intentionally speak to them in ways they will not understand, thus causing them to stumble, fall down, be broken, and taken captive.
