A great nation under siege

Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity: I will mock when your fear cometh; Proverbs 1:24-26

From the simple dictionary meaning of a siege, we all know that it is a stubborn and continuous effort to win or gain control of something. It is also an act or instance of surrounding a city, fort or a nation by an enemy army in an attempt to capture it. My own concept of a siege is a fortified stronghold laid by the enemy to capture and inflict punishment on the captor. An individual, people, or a nation under siege experiences perpetual terror, torment, attack, oppression, lack and several other terrible things inflicted on them by their captor. To be released from a siege, there is need for assistance and aid from a higher power, superior  and  potent enough to subdue the contending or controlling power, that is the captor.

I see a nation under a terrible siege of darkness that only the power of God can remove. America has given the enemy cause to blaspheme the name of God and mount a siege against her because of blatant disobedience to God's laws and commandments. The land is filled with defilements and deadly pollutions, iniquities abound everywhere, the spiritual atmosphere is dense, there is thick darkness hovering over the land, unthinkable  and unimaginable evil going on every minute of the day. There is terrible demonic infiltration and contamination in the land. The enemy has permeated the country with immorality, occultism, satanic temples and worship, evil programming of people, witchcraft activities and so on.

Satan has fully gained entry and has successfully mounted a siege against this nation because of sins, abominations and evil indulgences. Everyone is free to do what he or she deems fit. There is freedom for all, freedom to do anything, even to sin against God. No wonder there is deception, delusion and seduction even on the pulpit. Who are we deceiving? God cannot be mocked, for whatever a man sow that he will reap.

God hates sin with passion, he detests it. He is God of righteousness and his standard has not change and cannot change for anyone or group of people. And that is why God will not save or deliver anyone or people under the siege of the enemy particularly those who allowed the enemy to mount a siege against them because of their sins and evil ways. God said he would laugh them to scorn when evil comes.

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

Therefore thus says the Lord God; "Behold, my anger and my fury will be poured out on this place place-on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched." Jeremiah 7:13, 20

But thou, O LORD, shall laugh at them: thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. Psalm 59:8
