Where do you Look? Amos 5-6

 Listen and Obey the Lord for people sing mocking us. Desolation has been determined. But, we need to repent on a personal level as Amos wrote in  Amos 5:4, 'For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, " Seek Me that you may live.””NASU John Calvin wrote in Commentaries on the Twelve Minor Prophets Vol.2, “We have elsewhere said that men cannot be led to repentance, unless they believe that God will be propitious to them; for all who think him to be implacable, ever flee away from him, and dread the mention of his name.”(Pg. 249

You change the right into poison. The Lord created the stars and puts the robbed above the stong. The attributes of the Mystical YHVH are pitying the sinner, gracing the repentant, ruling, sympathizing to suffering, loving concern, long-suffering, abounding in mercy, verifying, remembering human merit, understanding, forgiving, atoning, and seeing guilt. He will ruin your citadels seek right and do it Charlie sonos wrote “Ethical and moral concern goes hand in hand. Seeking well and seeking God are not to be separated.” (sonos, Charlie. “The Exegesis of Amos 5:18-27.” Sonoma Adventist College, 2020.)

We should not seek the Second Coming. It brings darkness from the pan to the fire. God hates our feasts. When you offer gifts, The Lord will abhor them and hates your music. The prophet Samuel said  in 1 Sam 15:22, ' Samuel said, " Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.”'NASU

America must look and see that greater empires then her have fallen. There is no Soviet Union anymore. America is fat and over sexed. The Lord is against America.

What Does Love got to do with it? Hosea 5-7

 Listen! The Lord is the same for all people. He wants Holiness but the West has become a plague.  We have replaced obedience to the Lord with the our own way. John Calvin wrote in his “COMMENTARIES ON THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS (Vol. 1)” this:

“That our sacrifices then may please God, they must be according to the rule of his word;for ‘obedience,’ as it has been said already, ‘is better than all sacrifices,’ (1 Samuel 15:22.)But when men retake themselves to false forms of worship or such as are invented, nothing then is holy or acceptable to God, but an abominable filth.” (Pg. 175 Christian Classics Ethereal Library )

The Lord knows us, but we do not know Him. We are all fallen. If we lack true repentance , we will never find Him. God's Judgment is coming. All will be broken by it. In pain, we seek the enemy for deliverance but will not find healing. For the Almighty , He is is the Lion of Judah seeks to deliver. In distress, they will find His presence as Hosea wrote in Hosea 5:15 “I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”NASU  

Come and return to the Lord. The same Lord who brought judgment can bring restoration is we seek Him completely. We need to search to know the Lord. Jack Riggs wrote in his book “Hosea's Heartbreak, ”A persistent, diligent endeavor to know the Lord can result only in His blessing.” (Pg. 103; Loizeaux brothers 1983) The Lord prefers love above all else, but we broke His covenant. Our love is lost so He must judge.

When God would heal, the sin was to great. The West are sex addicts. Our evil is open to all. Because of sin God is hiding His Spirit. No one calls on the Lord. The Most High wants to bless.
