Sin Wallow or Hog Smart- Turn to the Temple and Pray

What do we do when we find ourselves in a state of sin wallow, do we stay there and enjoy the fleeting pleasure of the moment or do we turn back to the washing blood of our Lord? It is important to note that what is smart action for a hog, ain't smart for a Christian. When we find that we ourselves have fallen into our former lusts and desires, we must not stay in the mire, but we must turn back to Jesus. The story of Peter during the crucifixion and after the resurrection of Christ was recorded for me(okay, you too) to understand the loving nature of our Savior's forgiveness. If it were up to us, we would require an arm and a leg , and then maybe, just maybe we would consider forgiveness for a fallen brother or sister, or we would pretend it didn't happen at all and just go forth in denial. Thanks be unto our most wise Lord. He knew just how to address the apostasy of Peter and restoration of the broken relationship with Him. We must see our following after our own ways(being drawn away from the intimate relationship with the Godhead) as a break of fellowship with our life source.  It may be that we are still attending church or have all the outward appearance of Christianity, but in our heart, we are broken in fellowship. I  heard someone say recently that they heard  a Christian speak from Australia, that America's Christianity does not effect change in the people or society, we do not have our everyday lives affected. There are many who have come here to work in missions to show us true Christianity.
We do not need a slight correction, but a radical repentance in America. We have truly lost our way when it comes to serving our Lord with a humble and broken heart. Pride and Covetousness has replaced humility and meekness. We must repent and turn or we will see the end result of our arrogance.
Our Lord has smelled the stench in his nostrils and it is putrid. America, we must turn from pretentious ways and follow after Him as the poor and needy that we are. A little while and we will say it is getting better for us in our economy, and then the bottom will fall as a sack with a hole in the bottom, our wealth will be gone, and this will be a sign of mercy for us to  take the opportunity to be humbled and turn back to our ultimate founding Father.
We don't have to wait for the consequences of our Pride to destroy us, we may turn and repent today and take the hand of our Savior to lead us once again, person by person. We need a grass roots effort of humility.
As in the words of Yahweh God in His second appearance to Solomon, one night after the temple was built, we see an eternal principle in dealing with Nations that was ultimately fulfilled in the Temple of Jesus himself, we may turn to Him as our Temple containing the presence of God, not only containing but IS the Temple not made with man's hands, as was once only accomplished in the earthly shadow of a physical temple, more on this teaching later.
2 Chronicles 7:
¹² Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice(Jesus). ¹³ When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, ¹⁴ if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. ¹⁵ Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. ¹⁶ For now I have chosen and sanctified this house(Jesus), that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
