I’ve met some resistance in my pursuit of my dream of restoring America to her former position as that “shining light on a hill” that offers hope to people all over this dark world.
Satanic attack was not unexpected, but I did not anticipate that the attack would come primarily from some church leaders and other powerful figures in the religious community.
Huh?
Yeah . . .
So why would a church leader refute a goal of returning America to a primarily moral nation that stands undivided and indivisible as one nation under God? Well apparently this goes against some type of church and state separation mantra, (that I believe has been drilled into their heads by the progressive movement). I would refer to it as “brainwashing”; however that would imply that they have a brain. (I know – I know that was harsh – No letters please.)
I’ve studied Scripture for 40 years and I cannot imagine our Lord and Savior being opposed to His church working towards restoring faith in God in America and returning to a moral society and therein offering hope to a mostly godless world.
A pastor friend of mine, (Ed Henderson), sent me some thoughts and quotes that he had on this subject and I think he’s “spot on”. Here are some sample quotes in his essay that cut to the very heart of the matter:
“If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain ascendancy. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious (immoral) literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.” (Daniel Webster , US Secretary of State 1850-52, US Senator from Massachusetts 1845-1850, Lawyer )
“If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.” (Daniel Webster)
“Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration (reverence) for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary.” (Daniel Webster)
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” (George Orwell)
Now listen to the Father as He speaks in Deut. 28:1 “Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the LORD your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. “All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the LORD your God” . . .
I emboldened “BLESSINGS” in order for you to see it and not miss it! It is a blessing from God to have Him set our nation above other nations in the world.
When this nation was founded our founding fathers established this nation as “one nation under God”; we put “In God we trust” on our currency; we invoked “so help me God” in our courtrooms; and we hung the Ten Commandments in hallowed halls throughout the land. God saw those efforts from heaven and blessed us mightily and set us high above other nations and we were BLESSED as individuals and as a nation.
Note one more time all you naysayers, God calls it a “blessing” to have our nation set above all other nations as a Godly nation.
But we have begun to turn our back on God and ignore him and remove Him from our society and lives.
Make no mistake – God will not be ignored nor will He be mocked. Gal. 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
We need to turn back to Him and the religious community needs to get behind this effort and not oppose it in order that we might once again receive His blessing.
BTW – I’ve noticed this same thing in my personal life. When I drift away from God, He removes His blessing from my life, but when I ask for forgiveness, turn from my sin, and follow Him rather than the world, I receive blessings in such abundance that I’m overwhelmed. Such is the nature of our loving Father and His unfathomable grace
It works!
There are a lot of great lessons we can learn from all these events that relate to changing our nation. Reverend Henderson and I and a host of others agree that this fight must be fought and most importantly we know it can be won.
We need to understand that we are not alone; God always has a remnant that He holds in reserve to serve His purpose. The United States contingent just needs a rallying point and some leadership. There is an entire Army of believers in the USA that could change the nation if they would just forego their religiosity and disparate doctrines and follow Jesus by unifying long enough at least to fight this vital war together.
I’m not saying it will be easy; indeed just like the war on terrorism we have to realize that it will remain ongoing and never end until God makes it happen. We have an enemy and it is not Russia, Iran, MoveOn.org, George Soros, GLAAD, NOW, or a particular politician or political party. Our enemy is satan and he and his legions are powerful!
But if we trust in God and rally together we can affect this country in a huge way.
Finally I contend that it does not matter what denomination or non-denomination to which you pledge allegiance. The Bible teaches that those of us who believe in Jesus as the Son of God and believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God belong to God’s church which is headed by none other than Jesus Christ.
The enemy has taken control of most of the media, the entertainment industry, the schools, courts, government, and business, and is undoubtedly winning this war. They don’t have what we have however; and it is the one thing that can send them packing. They don’t have God on their team. Pray that He will lead us to victory.
Remember the power of God is perfected and multiplied in unity.
Deut. 32:29
Would that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would discern their future! “How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And the LORD had given them up? “Indeed their rock is not like our Rock, Even our enemies themselves judge this . . .
