Happy Independence Day
Today is our Independence Day. This is a special day as it is the birthplace of our great nation. In order to free us from Britain’s tyranny, many lives were lost, and blood shed. Our founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence knew that they were also signing their death warrant by the British. They did it anyways, to unite our nation to fight and obtain freedom.
We haven’t always been a perfect nation. As a nation we have made mistakes. We have had to learn and grow as a nation. We are a nation today that consists of many different tribes and nationalities of people. Our Nation has been a home for those that are looking for freedom from tyranny.
Our nation was established under God. George Washington told everyone to go home or to their places of worship and pray for our nation. We see that they did just that and George Washington went to St Pauls Cathedral to pray.
His prayer is the following:
“Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Oh how times have changed, but the battle for our freedom still continues. Today, the values and principles this nation stands for are under attack. They are trying to remove the One Nation Under God. They are establishing the same tyranny that people gave up their lives to end. I say where are the prayers?
What part are you playing?
Church are we doing our part, and praying for a move of God? Church, are we praying for God’s protection over our nation? Are we standing in prayer that the enemies plans be made visible? Or are we sitting back doing nothing.
Body of Christ, are we praying for our President who is clearly under attack? I pray the following scripture: “Though they intended evil against You and devised a plot, they will not succeed.” Psalm 21:11
Are we praying for revival and a move of God to sweep through our land? Many may use the scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
That has become a catch phrase scripture by many today. But, I believe there is a remnant in the land that is truly seeking for change. The remnant is the following:
- Not afraid at what is happening in society because they know that when God moves, change happens.
- Contending for a move with sign, wonders, and miracles.
- Expecting the Shekina glory to fall in each and every service.
- Going after righteousness instead of following what the world wants to do.
There is change coming.
Just like in 1776, there is change coming to our nation. There is a move to break the chains of bondage. There is a move that will cause the strongholds over the hearts of man to be broken. God is aligning His forces, and is preparing His faithful remnant for action. He is releasing new power, dominion, and authority upon his remnant. The remnant knows when they begin to operate in the gifts of God that they may be persecuted but they are willing anyway. They see the ultimate goal. They see revival and awakening breaking forth upon our land.
Things may seem bleak, doom and gloom now. I say wait, just wait. There is a reset and a refreshing coming upon our Land. Just like the scripture says in Isaiah 40:31, “Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”
I see that the time of rest and refreshing is coming to an end. The Lord says get ready my people to run into new power, new authority, new dominion, and new victories. The Lord’s saying that I am not finished with America, but in fact America is the threshing floor for a move that I am about ready to pour out. They are going to be the example for the rest of the World. The Lord says, don’t look at what is happening around you, but instead keep your eyes steadfast on Me. I am handing out new orders. It is time to March, March, March into victory, says the Lord. The shifting has begun, says the Lord.
I say it is time that we mobilize and be that vibrant church once again.
God bless you all, and have a Happy Independence Day.
