Land of the Free? Home of the Brave? Are We?

Land of the Free? Home of the Brave? Are We?

            I remember the days when we used to say the Pledge of Allegiance to our nation’s flag, celebrated the Fourth of July, and waved our flags in the act of patriotism. We were actually celebrating “Nationalism” which has now become the new dirty word. Yes, we knew that the nation has its problems and a not so pretty history, but we were still proud to be Americans. Now, we have come to the point where it is considered “racist” to say that you are a patriot and a nationalist. Why is that? Could it be that the dark forces who operate behind the scene have more to gain when we are divided and against one another than they do when we unite? We should ask ourselves the question, “Who has more to gain from our division than our unity?” As a Christian Evangelist, I must first say the devil and then those whom he has deployed to do his demonic operations of which many belong to what they consider as liberalistic parties.

            Years ago, we fought through the ballot box and should we have lost, we just accepted it and decided to work harder the next time around. Now, politicians, in an attempt to gain control at any cost, promote violence, exploit other nations, and race-bait to play on the people’s emotions. They do not care that they are causing this nation to go to hell in a handbasket. Yes, this nation is going literally to hell. Why? We have lost what this country was founded on – GOD. That’s right! There was a time when God was included in every aspect of society and even though evil men did evil things, God was what held this nation together. Unfortunately, when we decided to take God out of schools, God out of our courtrooms, divorce God from the family, God out of the churches and make money our new god, we became wicked in every area of society. Yes, God has been left out of many modern-day churches for the sake of new-age ideology, greed, fame, popularity, and prosperity.

Drug-sniffing dogs replaced morning prayers at school. Stocks in the prison system became more prevalent than the 10 Commandments being upheld in the courtroom. Jesus being preached so that we may have life was replaced with taking innocent lives in the womb. The traditional family of one man and one woman was replaced with homosexuals feeling that they needed equal rights. The feminist movement moved men out of the homes. Identifying oneself with who God called them to be from birth has been replaced with the unnatural ideology that we get to pick and choose our sexual identity. Monogamy between a married couple has been demoted to the replacement of pornographic films, sex toys and robots. And somehow, we think that America will be great again while we thumb our noses up at God in defiance of His natural order of things. 

America may or may not get the red wave, but until we have the red blood of Jesus flying over this nation not in words, but in deeds once again, America will NEVER be the land of the free and home of the brave. The Bible says, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Please remember this on election day. A nation who rejects its GOD will never be great again regardless of who is in office. “He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning” (Daniel 2:21). May those who read this reflect on its words and meaning.
