Why SHOULDN'T God bless America?
Millions or Billions of dollars to other countries in aid
Defending other countries
Allows it's citizens to freely worship

Does/will God bless the U.S.? I dunno - Only He knows. I don't thinkt hat God would "withhold" His blessings because of the actions taken by the Government heads. It's not the fault of the average American that these things did/didn't happen.

People only want to look at the bad things never the good. It's really sad.

You said it all right there. Trust me, the US creates just as many problems as it helps fix. Actually, it probably creates more. And I'm not just talking about the government -- I mean the people. Not everyone is a devout Christian, you know. Basically, I think of it in terms of individual progress. Whether or not God blesses the country as a whole is not really my concern because I can't control the actions of others.

the u.s. does give a lot of money to other countries...we gave it to the taliban, we gave it to saddam...a point which everyone forgets in light of war now. as far as defending other countries...that's great, but not if the countries don't want our help. anyway..as one sign near my house says "god already has blessed america"...reminding us that whatever you believe we do have a lot of privleges.

Yes the US does a lot of good in the world. What we have to look at is the American people. Look at Sodom and Gomorrah. The united states is living in as much sin if not more than those two cities. The US has a lot of freedoms but are they freedoms that God wants us to have? We need to follow the government we live in as long as it doesn't go against Gods will.

Isaiah 34:1-3 "Come up close, YOU nations, to hear; and YOU national groups, pay attention. Let the earth and that which fills it listen, the productive land and all its produce. For Jehovah has indignation against all the nations, and rage against all their army. He must devote them to destruction; he must give them to the slaughter.  And their slain ones will be thrown out; and as for their carcasses, their stink will ascend; and the mountains must melt because of their blood".

Daniel 2:44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite"

This includes the USA.

All human governments are corrupt and according to scripture are under Satans control and authority.

1 John 5:19 "but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one"

That is why Satan could offer all the kingdoms of the earth and their authority to Jesus, because they are his to give.

Matthew 4:8-10 "Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.”  Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

Notice, Jesus did not deny Satans authority over the kingdoms of the earth but told him to "go away".  He refused to accept Satans offer. He even refered to Satan as "The ruler of this world" John 12:31 "Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out".

So will/does God bless America?  No, along with all other human rulership he will destroy it and replace them all with the righteous rulership of his own Kingdom, one world government under the authority of his Son Jesus Christ.

Psalm 2:8-9 "Ask of me (Jehovah), that I may give nations as your (Jesus) inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.  You will break them (Human Governments) with an iron scepter, as though a potter’s vessel you will dash them to pieces.”

Really? Then did America and all of the great nations become succesful on their own? Did they overcome God?
 

What is success? 

SUCCESS is measured today in terms of how much education, money, popularity or skill a person has acquired during his lifetime. Fortunately we can be happy that God does not require any of these things in abundance in order for us to be successful from his standpoint.

Success from a worldly standpoint maybe motivated by materalism and the aquiring of wealth for example.  This is not success from God's standpoint.  As far as wealth and popularity are concerned, right away we must disqualify them as standards for judging success from God's standpoint. Material possessions and personal prestige carry no weight with God.

These qualities make a person succesful to God Gal 5:22 "On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law".  When all the citizens of a nation people practice these things that nation will be succesful not untill then. 

America at this very moment are engaged in warfare.  This is not success but a huge failiure on their part.  There is rampant crime, violence, imorality and drug abuse throughout the nation from the top (government) down.  If the head is sick then the whole body will be also.  If this is success then I for one dont want it.
