"How Do You Solve Evil In Society???"

The title was taken from a quote by Eric Trump during an interview on FOX's "Ingraham Angle", with host Laura Ingraham.  I realize the point was rhetorical, in a discussion of gun control, and the outlandish charges against the Trump administration, by the political Left.  But, it struck me that it broached a larger issue than was part of the discussion.  There is indeed one way to "staunch the bleeding" in a world that wants peace and safety, and seems to have a steady diet of violence, and bloodshed all around them, endlessly!

Holy Ghost revival can happen in America today, even as it happened before, both before the American Revolution, and the Civil War.  I don't remember all the details of these great revivals, and there may have been another preceding the first World War.  But what I do remember is the characteristic repentance of sin, and evil practices that framed all of these movements!  Each was followed shortly by some of the most violent days in our nation's history, and who's to say if we are not soon to be in another such desperate struggle for the safety of our nation, and our very lives, and those of our families!

I do remember stories about these Revivals, when prisons were uncharacteristically empty, and bars were closing for lack of business.  Extrapolate that into today's crises, and I think we could see an end to our schools being targeted by murderous, deranged shooters, and international terrorists would try their evil on other countries, but avoid America, because it was too hard to keep secret their intentions when so many people were so easily alerted by improper behavior (not to mention the warnings of an all-knowing God); which completely contradicts the callous indifference of the F.B.I., in there treatment of the many warnings of the deranged shooter in the Parkland, Florida episode, and the behavior of the sheriff's deputy who waited outside the school, while the shooting was going on, instead of entering the building, and trying to take the shooter down!  God can motivate normal people to do extraordinary things in critical situations, but He's not going to do it unless they first come to know Him.

So, before the readers simply brush this off as some "pie-in -the -sky, by-and-by", utopian pipe dream, I would argue that we have enough precedents in our history to know that it can happen today, on a larger scale, because of a much larger population.  But, it begins with one person...YOU!!!

And if enough of the "YOU"'s out there begin to "pester" God (otherwise known as prevailing prayer)  about the evil in our land, He will respond in a miraculous way!  And, if another greater evil follows, we will be better able to handle that, as our ancestors did before us!  But, I would not want to face that kind of evil without the Lord's help, and that may be where we are now!
