What has happened to America? If our founding fathers were alive today, they wouldn't recognize us. We were suppose to have been founded on God's law, truth, and principle. The Bible was taught in school. You won't find that in many schools today! For those of you who long to be warriors in the Lord's army, now is your call to battle.
'Put on the full armor of God' and stand up for Jesus in your neighborhoods, your towns, your church. Get people involved. Raise an army to restore what 'America' was once really about. Pray for the leaders and the to-be-leaders in every branch of government no matter how small. Pray for the churches! Pray that God will awaken them all over this nation.
Read the Bible in your home, to your children. Don't let that fall away, because they're not going to get it in most schools. Raise a banner from the rooftops if you have to! Call this nation back to God. The Bible says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” - 2 Chronicles 7:14
Stand up for Jesus no matter how frightening the challenge may seem. Someday, even here in America, it may become dangerous for Christians to stand for Jesus. But take your stand on the battlefield and He will be your protection, your guidance, and your strength.
I call you to battle – now you call someone else, let them call someone else, and so forth. Recruit your church – let them recruit another church. And I pray we will stand for Jesus, even if we're the last ones standing.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:10-18
