We've been here before. In America we seem to be particularly vulnerable to worshiping our government instead of the One who truly has endowed us with our unalienable rights. We can look to history, with an honest and sincere desire to see the truth, and discover how our forebears were delivered from a precarious and foreboding time much like we are immersed in today.
Samuel Adams gave his American Independence speech shortly before the fifty-six Founders signed the Declaration of Independence. In this prophetic speech Adams said,
“We have explored the temple of royalty (regarding many previous appeals to King George), and found that the idol we have bowed down to has eyes which see not, ears that hear not our prayers, and a heart like the nether millstone. We have this day restored the Sovereign, to whom alone men ought to be obedient.... From the rising to the setting sun, may His kingdom come.”
The direction is clear. Who will lead the way? Those of us who have experienced the forgiveness, healing, and deliverance of the Lord as a result of our personal repentance and surrender to Him through Jesus Christ know the way back to where we belong. Let's echo the cry of the prophets throughout our great land once again...
"Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds." - Hosea 6:1
“Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other." - Isaiah 45:22
Is there someone in your life that you can nudge, inspire, redirect toward the One True God today? Become a part of the revival of America.
