  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash “O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” [1]   LORD God, here we are again, boldly entering Your presence on behalf of our beloved A m e r i c a .   This “shining city upon a hill,” as President Reagan called her in his January 11, 1989, farewell address, today is greatly dimmed. You, my LORD, know President Reagan took this phrase from the 1630 sermon of John Winthrop to the Massachusetts Bay colonists. Reagan stated, “…Winthrop…wrote it to describe the America he imagined.” [2]   As true believers, we know Jesus said it first, speaking of those who are born-again of His Spirit. Jesus called us “…the salt of the earth…” and warned about losing our saltiness. But then He said, “You are the light of the world…” like a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. [3] We, LORD, who have Your Word in our he...

  Mayflower - www.britannica.com Although I’m tempted to write another article on the lawlessness we see, I’m not. Instead, I’m going to focus on good, especially since we are about to celebrate A m e r i c a ’ s 2 5 0 th B i r t h d a y . Lately, as I travel from here to there, I am blessed by the A m e r i c a 2 5 0 decorations. I have no idea the political beliefs of those who dwell in the beautifully adorned homes, but I know in my heart they love our country and are proud to be an A m e r i c a n .   Have you seen any of the interviews with World Cup Soccer Games visitors? These international guests can’t seem to say enough good about how amazing A m e r i c a is—that it is unlike any other country in the world—and how our people are so friendly.   While their words make my heart swell with gratitude, I know why we are this different, and so do you. A m e r i c a ’s g o o d n e s s came because it was founded on the One True and Living God, H i s g ...

Okay, then answer this: When God Most High uttered the words forever , eternal , and irrevocable , did He truly mean unending ? Or are these just momentary words?   The LORD Almighty never speaks frivolous words. He always says what He means and means what He says. Since I came to know Jesus personally and was born again of His Spirit, I have lived by one rule regarding the Bible: God said it and I believe it. Whether the Old Testament or New, “ ALL Scripture is God-breathed …” [1] It’s the Greek word theopneustos , meaning “divinely breathed in [or out].” [2] And, ALL means ALL.   How amazing we are allowed to read words spoken by the King of the Universe, whose covenant, forever, and memorial name is Yahweh, I AM WHO I AM. [3] But that’s not all, believers have an anointing fro...

America was unlike any nation on earth. All others had monarchies. America had W E , T H E P E O P L E , as the governing body. “The Constitution united its citizens as members of a whole, vesting the power of the union in the people . [2]   In just a few days, W e, t h e P e o p l e , will have the opportunity to VOTE in probably the most consequential election of our nation’s history. And the question is, will God allow America to exist the way He designed it? Or will He continue to allow it to be dismantled fro...

       Gordon kept the throne room doors open on the off chance I might need him. Our voices had echoed down the long hall and into the palace great room. More angels heard the commotion, and word spread throughout Heaven. Now, angels of every rank crowded the doorway and began spilling into the throne room. Even Randall, my armor room supervisor, had made his way to the front and stood alongside Gordon. Eyes gleamed, and smiles exploded when the angels grasped the reason for the gathering. The Sovereign LORD was about to reveal his mysterious plan hidden since before the foundation of the world. For this moment all Heaven had waited. The angels couldn’t contain themselves, and they rushed in. But the frontrunners braked, and the others plowed into them when they learned God, the Son, would be leaving. The throne room became like a theater audience before a show. Chatter and indistinguishable words filled the air as they, too, tried to dissuade him. “Enough,” b...
