Moving Freedom Forward
With all my heart, I believe God is giving us a chance now to repent and restore the foundation of freedom and the blessings it imparts.

God, in His mercy, has granted the American people an
opportunity to
correct our nation’s dangerous course and save the future of freedom born in the faith and wisdom of our founders.
As the Old Testament prophet Joel promised Israel,
if the nation repents and returns to dependence on God’s wisdom, He will restore the blessings and fruitfulness that was lost when the people turned from God. He said he would “pour out the former and latter rain” and
make up for “the
years the consuming locusts had destroyed.”
This is the healing of the land promised by God throughout the Old Testament and confirmed in history.
With all my heart, I believe God is giving us a chance now to repent and restore the foundation of freedom and the blessings it imparts....
God’s Opportunity Must Be Met With Our Action
...However, impacting the ballot box isn’t the same thing as impacting the nation’s direction. You can start a car, but you’re not going anywhere until you actually
put it in drive.
Faith-filled believers and all common-sense Americans who recognize the legitimate concerns facing our nation must become a strong force, boldly standing together to encourage and support the corrective action that must be taken.
Correction requires standing against, in part:
a manipulative political establishment
a biased, liberal, and corrupt media
the foolishness of political correctness
government excess and waste
ineffective federal programs
excessive regulations hindering small business and hurting blue-collar, hard-working families
economic instability
a lack of security
porous, lawless borders
a weak military
unfair trade agreements
a full-bore assault on religious freedom
Let’s pray that our national leaders will
seek the wisdom that comes from above, surround themselves with people who are the best
qualified to assist, and with
determination address every area of national concern. If you happened to see Mr. Trump’s November 13 interview on 60 Minutes, you saw the
demeanor of the man I have communicated with for seven months. ...
...Still, you can be assured that every good step to correct the foolish course will be
resisted with anger, bordering on uncontrollable rage and
threats on the lives of those who lead the
necessary corrective steps. This re-establishing of freedom’s foundation and building the walls necessary to protect it
will test even the strongest individuals.
Pray for shields of supernatural protection around our national leaders and all concerned Americans — and
do not step down or back down.
Speak the truth in love, and
with humility invite those who disagree to come to the table of reason. The age of rage and potential violence can only be overcome by
the power of God’s love and His truth.
As we work side-by-side in the days ahead, it is my prayer that the Christian community will reveal more effectively than ever the transforming power of
the gospel of the Lord Jesus to those who do not have a personal relationship with Him.
Empty religion is not the answer....
...Christians and all true lovers of freedom who understand that it has a principled foundation are
witnessing the first move toward the next Great Awakening. The invitation Jesus
offered Jerusalem when facing total desolation can be applied to America today: “Come like chicks to the wings of a hen.” We are invited by Almighty God to return to the shadow and shelter of protection and provision only He can offer.
It’s time to take serious His promise. “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3 NAS)
That’s what we must trust Him for.
