Feelin’ grateful for our freedoms in this “One Nation Under God.” Don’t wanna see them go away.

Does your Land need to have more praying Christian patriots? Does mine today? Does your nation need..does mine need an authentic revival in the church and a biblical spiritual awakening? Sure!

Do you ever feel concerned that some or many of those freedoms we enjoy here could be taken away due to the radical Liberals here among us? 

Be sure you are born again -- you indeed can become sure you are right with God. 

You know how some of our nation’s Founders here in the USA were Quakers, and some were Deists, but the majority of them were real born again Christian patriots -- not religious posers as some say. Yep, go study it. They earnestly prayed and I encourage you to pray for your leaders, churches and Land as well. What does God say we need to do?

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior..” 1 Timothy 2:1-3


“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.“ See Psalm 33:12-22

You were placed on earth to know God well, and then tactfully make him well known. It’s about a sincere biblical lifestyle of worship and prayer. Everything else is SO secondary.

The more we know God according to his Spirit and word, the more we should want to make Him known in our city, in our nation and in our world. Yep, wherever Jesus leads us in this lost world.

“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.” Romans 13:1-5

“The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.” ― Greg Laurie

“Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.” 1 Peter 2:17


“..if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
- A person who has been with Jesus will pray, obey and tactfully witness -- yes, boldly share his or her faith. 
- A person who has been with Jesus will change, will grow, will mature -- will be a person of godly character. 
- A person who has been with Jesus will be mocked, joked about, and persecuted at times.
“This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.” Romans 13:6-7

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
