“But as for you who forsake the Lord and forget my holy
mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine
for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword, and you will bend down
for the slaughter; for I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you
did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.” [Isaiah 65:11-12]
“One nation, under God…In God we trust…so help me God…God bless America.”
We are blessed to live in America. I know of no place else on earth
I would rather live. Americans enjoy more liberty, more opportunity,
more security and more prosperity than any other nation on earth. Small
things that we take for granted would seem like a fairy tale come true
to the citizens of many other nations. One only need watch a few
minutes of a news broadcast of the poverty and devastation in other
countries to see how blessed we are.

“But as for you who forsake the Lord and forget my holy

[Isaiah 65:11-12]
“One nation, under God…In God we trust…so help me God…God bless America.”
We are blessed to live in America. I know of no place else on earth
I would rather live. Americans enjoy more liberty, more opportunity,
more security and more prosperity than any other nation on earth. Small
things that we take for granted would seem like a fairy tale come true
to the citizens of many other nations. One only need watch a few
minutes of a news broadcast of the poverty and devastation in other
countries to see how blessed we are.
There is a reason we are so blessed. It is not because of our
location on the planet. It is not because our leaders are any wiser or
stronger than others. It is not because we have more natural resources
or more money than others. No physical or intellectual things have made
America the best. We are so blessed because we are a nation that was
founded on God’s principles and laws. Our founding fathers were
Christians, and they formed our government based on Christian values.
They reverently understood that for any nation to be free and
prosperous it had to honor the Creator of all there is – the one Living
God. They also understood that God would only bless a nation that
honored His Son, Jesus Christ. Because of those beliefs, and only
because of those beliefs, has America thrived and risen to be the
greatest nation in history.
America has become the greatest nation because it was founded as
“One Nation Under God.” It was never intended that we would stray from
God’s covering, for the founders were inspired, and I believe anointed,
to create a government that would always fear and honor God and follow
the truths of Jesus Christ. They knew, as we should all know, that if
we did stray from God, His covering could be withdrawn. ONE NATION
UNDER GOD is the only way a nation can survive and enjoy the life we
have enjoyed.
I don’t need to tell you the dangers we face if God’s covering ever
left us. I also don’t need to tell you that America is heading in a
direction that, if not corrected, can result in that very thing. There
are those who desire to take “In God” and “Under God” and “Of God” out
of everything. And although they are relatively small in numbers, they
are huge in influence. They are little but loud. How they have gained
such power is beyond my understanding, but they have. Could it be that
they are getting supernatural help from the enemy? Whatever gives them
their influence, one thing is clear: if they succeed, America as we
know it will be no more. Without God, we will not stand.
We hear it from many sources: it is way past time for Christians to
stand up and speak out. We have the numbers, we have the power, and
above all we who want America to bless God are divinely right. If we
remain silent, the cancer that is poised to destroy our blessed nation
will certainly spread. In just a few short years there could be a whole
generation of Americans who never said or heard “In God We Trust”, “One
Nation Under God”, or “So Help Me God.” How long do we think God will
honor and bless a nation that ceases to honor and bless Him?
“Therefore, you kings be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest
he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for His wrath can flare
up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.” [Psalm
2:10-12] |
