Welcome to Sword and Shield everybody.

Here's our scripture for the day. Second chronicles, sorry, my Bible is huge. Second chronicles 24 verse 20.

Then the spirit of God closed Zakaria, the son of Jehoi to the priests,

and he stood above the people and said to them,

Thus says God, why do you break the commandments of the Lord so that you cannot prosper?

Let me ask you a question today is a certain sword and shield.

Do you want to prosper? Do you notice that the world has lost its

stinking mind? Have you noticed that the world is not prospering? Have you noticed that the world

is living in a culture of death and they love it. Have you noticed that?

Well let me ask you a question brother sister. Do you want to prosper? Now don't worry,

I'm not going to prosperity gospel say to really don't worry I'm not

talking about getting that mansion in that yacht that's not what I'm that's not the kind of prospering I'm talking about.

Do you want to thrive in a world gone mad?

Well, let's see what the word of God has to say about it.

Here's what the Prophet says.

Thus says God, why do you break the commandments of the Lord so that you cannot prosper because you have

forsaken the Lord he is forsaken you.

Whoa let me ask your question today.

Do you think there's a possibility that God is forsaken America?

It's like, do you think there's a possibility that things aren't going too good in America?

We had a brutal week this week.

Elections, oh here they come Ohio, there's a conservative awakening happening, an evangelical revival.
