Our Nations Christian Heritage
Is rich and
replete with the strong faith of our founding
forefathers, the passion they demonstrated and the
depth of character and devotion to God is not hid
to the eyes that want to see and the ears that
want to hear.
Many today in our nation want to
paint a picture of our nation as being set up by
Godless men who had no fear of God and no regard
for His Word, this is simply not true.
As
I was praying about the nation and for our leaders
as we have been instructed to do in 1 Timothy 2:2,
and for
the upcoming elections of our nation this was in
2008, as I begun to pray and call on God to awaken
us as a Christian nation the Lord began to speak
to me in my spirit.
He said "you understand
that faith does not die, and the words of faith
that were spoken by men like Samuel Adams and John
Adams and Thomas Paine, George Washington, the
words of faith they spoke over this nation still
have life in them and I can honor those words of
faith if you will ask me to". He reminded me that
just because a person moves home to be with Him, does
not mean that the prayers that they prayed while
on earth in faith believing would not come to
pass.
Because while they still had authority as a
man in the earth, they spoke out faith filled
words.
Jesus then advised me to pray that the
faith that was spoken by these men not be
forgotten, but to be remembered, so to awaken our
nation and intercede on behalf of what was spoken
because there are still powerful things that were spoke by
these founding fathers to help our nation and
bring her back before a just God.
Powerful
Words about our Nation
We have no government armed with power capable
of contending with human passions unbridled by
morality and religion. Avarice, ambition,
revenge or gallantry would break the strongest
cords of our Constitution as a whale goes
through a net. Our Constitution is designed
only for a moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate for any other. John Adams
US diplomat & politician (1735 - 1826)
Power always thinks... that it is doing God's
service when it is violating all his laws.
John Adams
The Hebrews have done more to civilize men
than any other nation. If I were an atheist,
and believed blind eternal fate, I should
still believe that fate had ordained the Jews
to be the most essential instrument for
civilizing the nations.
John Adams
John Adams and
John Hancock:
We Recognize No
Sovereign but God, and no King but
Jesus! [April 18,
1775]
John Adams:
“ The general principles upon which the
Fathers achieved independence were the general
principals of Christianity… I will avow that I
believed and now believe that those general
principles of Christianity are as eternal and
immutable as the existence and attributes of
God.”
• “[July 4th] ought to be
commemorated as the day of deliverance by
solemn acts of devotion to
God Almighty.”
–John
Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the
day the Declaration was approved by Congress
I
have examined all religions, as well as my
narrow sphere, my straightened means, and my
busy life, would allow; and the result is that
the Bible is the best Book in the world. It
contains more philosophy than all the
libraries I have seen."
December 25,
1813 letter to Thomas Jefferson
"Within the covers of the Bible are all the
answers for all the problems men face. The
Bible can touch hearts, order minds, and
refresh souls."
Ronald Reagan
"Indeed, it is an
indisputable fact that all the complex and
horrendous questions confronting us at home
and worldwide have their answer in that single
book [the Bible.]" Ronald Reagan
"In want or in plenty, in
times of challenge or times of calm, we always
have reasons to be thankful. America is a land
of abundance, prosperity, and hope. ...This
Thanksgiving, we again give thanks for all of
our blessings and for the freedoms we enjoy
every day. Our Founders thanked the Almighty
and humbly sought His wisdom and blessing. May
we always live by that same trust, and may God
continue to watch over and bless the United
States of America." --President George W. Bush
The three branches of the U.S.
Government: Judicial, Legislative, Executive
• At the Constitutional
Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the
plan to divide the central government into
three branches. He discovered this model of
government from the Perfect Governor, as he
read Isaiah 33:22;
“For the LORD is our
judge,
the LORD is our lawgiver,
the
LORD is our king;
He will save us.”
