George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, first Chief Justice John Jay; names synonymous with the spirit of our country: the Founding Fathers of the USA.
Over Two Hundred years ago, they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain; by Divine call. Citing 27 biblical violations, they wrote the Declaration of Independence; with liberty and justice for all.
But, something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone for American liberty, then put in our schools for the light ~ or since. "
Give me liberty or give me death," Patrick Henry said, " Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
We eliminated God from the equation of American Life; thus, eliminating the reason why this nation first began. From beyond the grave, I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead.
" You need God in America, again " Of the 55 men who formed the constitution, 52 were active members of their church.
Founding fathers (like Noah Webster, who wrote the first dictionary) could literally quote the Bible; chapter and verse. James Madison said, " We've staked our future on our ability to follow the 10 commandments, with all our heart."
These men believed that you couldn't even call yourself an American if you subvert the word of God.
In his farewell address, Washington said, " You can't have national morality apart from religious principle," and it's true.
' Cause, right now, we have nearly 150,000 kids carrying guns through these war zones we call public schools.
In the 40's and 50's, student problems were chewing gum and talking.
In the 90's, rape and murder are the trend.
The only way this nation can even hope to last, this decade, is to put God in America, again.
The only hope for America is Jesus.
The only hope for our country is Him; If we repent of our ways, stand firm, and say, " We need God in America, again."
Abe Lincoln said, " The philosophy of the school room, in one generation, will be the philosophy of government in the next."
So, when you eliminate the word of God from the classroom and politics, you eliminate the nation that Word protects.
America is now number 1 in teen pregnancy and violent crime; number 1 in illiteracy, drug use, and divorce. Every day, a new holocaust of 5,000 unborn die, while pornography floods our streets like open sewers. America's dead and dying hand is on the threshold of the church, while the spirit of Sodom and Gomorra vex us all.
When it gets to the point where people would rather come out of the closet than clean it, it's the sign that the judgment of God is going to fall.
If there has ever been a time to rise up, church, it's now.
And as the blood bought saints of the living God proclaim, that it's time to sound the alarm from the church house to the White House and say, " WE WANT GOD IN AMERICA, AGAIN."
I believe it's time for America to stand up and proclaim that one nation under God is our demand and send this evil lifestyle back to Satan, where it came from, and let the Word of God revive our dying land! For Jesus Christ is coming back again, in all His glory, and every eye shall see Him on that day.
That's why a new anointing of Gods power is coming on us, to boldly tell the world ...
You must be saved, because astrology won't save you.
Your horoscope won't save you.
The Bible says these things are all a farce.
If you're born again, you don't need to look to the stars for your answers; 'cause you can look to the very one that made those stars.
History tells us, time and time again, to live like there is no God makes you a fool.
If you want to see kids live right, stop handing out condoms and start handing out the word of God in schools.
The only hope for America is Jesus.
The only hope for our country is Him; If we repent of our ways, stand firm, and say, " We need God in America, again."
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.
2 Chronicles 7:14

When I think of God I think of love, of freedom, of peace and justice. When you think of those things, why wouldn't one want to promote them in your country. People are looking at believing in God or believing in Christ as restrictive or not Politically correct. The way to win back the love and passion for God's word is through love. We must love our neighbor and our fellow man and be a vessel of that love. Teach through walking in the ways of peace. I can't imagine anyone can ever be offended by someone smiling at them and wishing them a good day...son that good day can be God bless... and indifference or fear of that term will no longer be. I always believe in allowing God to do the work, and using me as a vessel of that. I am but a humble servant and will see God's will done slowly but surely. I too would get stirred up seeing people blatantly worshiping evil (music industry for one has so much hidden messages, it's scary to think our children are watching that) and nobody batting an eyelash... saying it's artist's expression... then those same people poking fun at Christians on television, etc. It is true North America is one of the leading places in the world that promotes alternative life styles then support clean living. However that's what the media and masses want us to believe (like it's a lost cause), but I've met too many people in my life to believe that. The media, the government, those in power do want people to believe that everyone is following them blindly, but they're not. As individuals we are smarter, more opinionated and spiritually stronger than that. Even those who don't declare themselves as Christians feel God and are on the verge of discovering him on their own terms, in their own time. We mustn't allow fear of running out of time to save run our lives. God will place us at the right time in the right place to help spread his word and help lovingly steer people in his direction. One by one his sheep will follow. North America needs God, and he's here, in every person's life...we just don't declare it... it's stated in whispers.
We are in the midst of a campaign for provincial elections , and I trust that God will place the man (orwoman) of his choise into the seat.
We do not understand the workings of Gods mind but God sees the whole picture from beginning to end.
pray pray for your and other goverments keeping them raised up before God.
