Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

Mind you the above scripture does come from Gods own mouth.
These three words are overtaken due to the lack of ones one faith. You see God indeed is love and mercy, true enough. But God can sure discipline(reprove, rebuke, exhort) His people as well. Proof: #1. Garden of Eden #2. Cain was disappointed #3. Noah and the flood #4. God destroyed the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrahah and the events pile up one after another.
Why do churches and prosper swell in size? There is no discipline in the pulpit. If the topic came forth against the sins of the people the offerings will dwindle and people in those plush pews would dwindle soon be emptying and church doors would shutter.
America has been very blessed. For some reason Gods mercy has spared cities an towns still stand.
But, and dear reader, you will not like what in about to propose: maybe just maybe the hand of Gods mercy ought to be lifted off of America.
If Gods mercy were lifted I don't think America and its many Christians would endure.
Thus, the people in the church, needs to allow the Prophet/Watchman to speak the "Word of the Lord." If the chooses to hush the voice then I am sure God would have His own way.
What did God say to the seven churches of Asia?
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; ."
Revelation 2:7 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/rev.2.7.KJV
God has much to say to the church in America. And there are many Americans yet needs to hear the Good News.
What will you do processing Christians? What will you churches in the United States?
Will you open your ears to hear what the Lord has to say by allowing the Watchman of the house speak? Will you continue to push him aside to fancy your itching ears?
What you do hench forth, churches in America, will determine what God chooses to do in the future.
