Today in these United States is Flag Day. At one time this may have been given more attention but you do not hear much about it now. On August 3,1949 then President Truman made June 14 the official Flag Day by official Congressional proclamation, although it originated in 1885 when a school teacher in Wisconsin selected the date because this was date 'Stars and Stripes' song was written.
Seems like people get patriotic in a national tragedy. The clearest example that comes to mind was the aftermath of 911. If you did not already own an American flag you could hardly buy one. Stores sold out their supplies. This made some angry but I would say all Americans should already own a flag. Flags flew from antennas of cars, flag ribbon magnets appeared, and you could hardly pass someone who did not have something patriotic on their vehicle.
Here we are 11 years later and have gotten back into complacency. Multiple flags are not waving in the breeze everywhere. Sure you see them at school and government buildings but why wait till a Federal holiday to get out 'old glory'.
We are extremely blessed with freedom here in the United States and evil forces will always be at work trying to chip away at those freedoms and put us under bondage. This is going on right now in America. Many fought and died in multiple wars to secure liberty and justice for all and the freedom to do as we please and that flag of ours represents freedom and sacrifice of many. Today there are people who do not even stand up when the national anthem is played and unlike when I was a small child, I understand that in some public schools, they no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance. This breaks my heart and I hope it breaks yours. Children are being reprogrammed to not love the country and to not want to keep it great. Parents have to instill this in their young ones.
The Bible says in Galatians 5:1 " It was for freedom that Christ set us free. Stand firm then and do not allow yourselves to be entangled by a yoke of bondage." Some read this blog from other nations and that thrills this writers heart. Know that we in America are blessed to be the land of opportunity but we are because we have not ignored God. Psalm 33:12 says "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for His inheritance." This nation was founded 'one nation under God'. Those colors on that flag should make you stop and think of the wonderful blessings we enjoy because this nation has put Him first in the past. Lately God's name means nothing to some politicians. Many flippantly placed their hand on the Holy Bible and promised to defend the country against enemies both foreign and domestic but lied and it meant nothing to them or so it seems. We can not ignore God in America and remain thriving.
2 Chronicles 7:14 reminds us " 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 forgive their sin and heal their land." Churches naming the name of Jesus need to wake up and get serious about preaching God's word and not just trying to make people feel good.
Where are you today? Is it time for you to renew your commitment to Him? Do you love this country or do you take it for granted? All that we have can be taken from us. We need to wake up and be in prayer.
PRAYER: Father I love my country and I think of those who gave their life so we might enjoy the freedoms we do. Lord help me be more involved in keeping America free. It is not just someone else's job. Lead me and guide me to speak the truth in love. In Jesus name. Amen.

TEN YEARS
11 September 2001 most Americans remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when early that day 4 separate commercial jets crashed first into World Trade Centers twin towers then the Pentagon and finally a field in Pennsylvania. There was speculation, until all aircraft were grounded, that more hijacked jets were targeting other sites such as the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Millions stayed glued to news reports on television and radio. What was happening? America was under attack on our own soil the first time since Pearl Harbor in 1941. Life as we knew it had changed forever. Our way of life had been drastically altered. Evil had infiltrated our country and killed thousands of innocent citizens. Secretaries, children, firemen, store clerks, corporate executives, bankers and many others were seemingly vaporized as the towers, in mere seconds, came plummeting to the ground. Prior to that, there was the graphic horrific scene of people above the 83rd floor hanging out windows and leaping to their death onto the street below. Never before had most people witnessed anything so shocking. Buildings close by the World Trade Center were also damaged such as a Marriot Hotel next to the towers.
Who would do this and why? We know our country has enemies as we are a free nation and men who do not enjoy this freedom try to disable us and destroy our way of life. We are unique too in that we are founded as a distinctly Christian nation although there have always been those trying to dispute this fact or change that and make the First amendment to our Constitution seemingly against freedom of religion when in fact it was created to protect religion from the government.
Americans had been disinterested and 'asleep' at the wheel. Gradually anything to do with Christianity or morality was slowly attacked and outlawed by the government. The Bible was not the centerpiece anymore and in the name of tolerance sin crept in. There were problems but people, to include churches, just sat back and let things happen. So here we were 11 September 2001 putting out a 9-1-1 call to save our land. For the first time Americans of all nationalities,ages, skin color, economic level and backgrounds, Republican and Democrat came together and on 12 September 2001 there was a unique cohesion which was as a result of the tragedy that had unfolded. American flags sold out everywhere. Patriotism was alive and well. But, like the frog in the pot of boiling water, slowly we have let our guard down and once again are under danger of being attacked on our own soil. Fort Hood, Texas, an extremely secure military base, was case in point when a Muslim soldier, who took an oath which meant nothing to him, attacked and killed his fellow soldiers. We should wake up and realize we have enemies within our own ranks purposely lying and infiltrating our way of life to destroy us and take us down.
We are to love our enemies and pray for them but also be wise about evil forces in our land trying to destroy us. Psalm 109:1-13 is good to read when you have a moment. Psalm 35:4 says "Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life .Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me."
Prayer is vitally important in the healing of this land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says "and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land." America it is time to listen to God for a change, stop ignoring Him and give Him first place in your life.
PRAYER: Father be with the many families whose lives were drastically affected by the deaths of their family members and friends in the horrible attacks on America on 9-11-01. Father we seek healing for scars and wounds from this day. Many good things grew from the ashes of this day but still many lives were shattered. We ask that you comfort as only you can. We ask father that you wake up the citizens of this land to be aware and alert to danger within our own borders. Help us not fall asleep when danger is lurking at the door. In Jesus name, amen.

GOD IS NEEDED IN AMERICA AGAIN!!
You do not have to go far to realize our country has a moral crisis. We have had it so good and have just kind of 'gone to sleep at the wheel' so to speak while forces come in to try to change the form of government we established with our Founding Fathers. Little by little corruption seeped in and we were so busy we did not care or did not see it. If we do not wake up and go back to our Christian principles we are going to be judged by God. It is in the Bible. Christians and conservatives are made to look like lunatics by the liberal media and many in Hollywood. This is not a Democrat thing or a Republican thing but this is a Freedom thing.
Lying ,corruption,and cheating have become common place and lots of it among those in Washington,DC. What is happening? Who can we trust? Why can't people open their eyes and notice this? It is because the god of the spirit of this world, Satan, has blinded allot of people and they would rather believe a lie than the truth. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God." You can not keep taking God out of this country. Many want to change with the times but "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8).
As it says in our pledge of allegiance "We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." There are forces attempting to re-educate our young people to take out references to our Christian founding but the Bible in fact was used in writing the documents that helped to shape America. As long as we followed the Bible we were doing great but there are always going to be dissenters and evil. The USA is like no other nation and many are jealous of what we have and want to destroy us. Recently there have been too many in DC trying to control everything we in America do. This is not what the Founders intended. A sleeping giant has awoken and said enough is enough. We love our country and we do not want those we elected to take our freedoms away from us.That was not part of the deal. Yes we know God is the one working 'behind the scenes' but He wants us to let Him back in.
John Adams one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and also second President of the United States said "The Holy Ghost carries on the whole Christian system in this earth. Not a baptism, not a marriage, not a sacrament can be administered but by the Holy Ghost. There is no authority, civil or religious – there can be no legitimate government but what is administered by this Holy Ghost. There can be no salvation without it. All without it is rebellion and perdition, or in more orthodox words damnation." Pretty strong words wouldn't you say? He knew you needed to keep the Lord on the throne and not man. We are to follow God's rules to have a successful country. It was the plan of the Founders to get out from under the rule of tyrants and live in a representative form of government. When our representatives start to not 'represent' ,as in recent times, then we have the power still to vote them out.
Once again this is not about politics but this is about keeping the word of God as supreme and the guide for running the United States of America. Ignore it and its' laws and we will surely fail. God has blessed us but will not continue to bless if we continue on the same destructive path going our own way and ignoring Him.
I have a passion for my country and for freedom and liberty which I am not ashamed of. I love America. I have served my country in the military and am proud of it. I do not want to see it taken over and destroyed because we were all too busy to care and too busy to get on our knees and pray. For those of you who have followed my blog long enough you may have seen this theme repeated in different formats that is because I feel we are at the crossroads and need to pray hard to save America. 2 Chronicles 7:14 which I repeat allot 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." Sometimes when life gets too busy the things to go first sad to say are prayer and Bible reading and next in line would be caring anything about what is going on in the country. When you are busy you just want to go home and let someone else make the phone call or someone else pray about it. Then when it gets serious you may say "Oh my gosh why didn't I do something when I could? Why didn't I care?" Everyone has the ability to pray. And if you can, fast along with it. Somehow when you fast you get more serious about what you are praying for.
Take this day and say your prayers and do not forget to pray for this country and the freedoms we enjoy. History shows us what happens when evil takes over. We certainly do not want to be victims of that. True, God is on the throne but it is time for Americans to wake up, repent, pray and save this great nation!
PRAYER: Lord we need you like never before. Many do not see what is happening so we pray for a great awakening so that the deceit that is going on and trickery will be uncovered. Satan does not like Christ and he does not like the freedoms we enjoy and would do anything or use anyone to destroy this country. Father forgive us for taking what we have for granted. Help us pray for our leaders daily and pray their hearts are softened and they turn from evil to good. We ask you protect the United States of America from tyranny. In Jesus Name. Amen.

IN GOD WE TRUST
This is our national motto and on all of our coins but what does it mean? No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. We trust in Him. He is the Supreme being. It has been on coins since about 1864 and adopted as the national motto in 1956. Proverbs 18:10 tells us "The name of God is a strong tower and the righteous run to it and are safe." The name of God and Jesus scares Satan and those that follow him. Evil forces have been trying to remove God out of everything. There is good in the world and evil. There is God and there is Satan. Nothing in between. You are either for God or against Him. It is amazing to me the onslaught of anti Christian voices in our world today trying to remove God from the public arena when that is how this country was founded. All I can say is 'unbelievable'!
There is no doubt that evil forces are at work to try to remove God and his name from the United States of America. There is power in a Christian nation. The founders came here so they could openly worship the Lord Jesus Christ. I find it odd that this country was founded that way and people who do not like it try to remove God when in my opinion if they do not like this great land then move on to somewhere and leave our Christian nation alone. Not saying that to be mean but we have a unique system of government based upon the scriptures. There is no disputing that. Satan does not like things of the Lord so his henchmen come along and try to ruin this land for everyone else. The word of God is removed from the public square and even laws made to protect the Bible are used against it. It is bizarre how things have turned around. People are being 're-educated' to believe the nation was not founded on Christian principles and to even fabricate a new meaning to the church and state clause. We are taught to tolerate religions some of which are out to destroy Americans they call 'infidels'.
Back in pioneer days the boys and girls read the Bible to practice their reading. You would not see that in classrooms today. Prayer was offensive so someone took it all the way to the Supreme Court and got it removed from school. The Ten Commandments were next. There have been battles to try to remove 'In God We Trust' from the money.People sue to keep valedictorians from saying anything about God in their graduation speeches. Even at a recent sporting event, The US Open, NBC TV omitted 'under God' from the pledge of allegiance. Coincidence or intentional? Who is to know. But the name of God is offensive to evil forces who want nothing to do with Jesus. To non believers it is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Those of you old enough can identify with that horrible squeaking sound.
Our own President once declared we are no longer "just a Christian nation" and often times omits the word 'creator' from the Declaration of Independence. This is a slippery slope to be walking on taking God away. Many Scriptures warn about the outcome of that. Psalm 33:12 says "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance." If we keep cutting Him out of the public arena He will not continue to bring blessings upon this land. First Supreme Court Justice John Jay (served from 1789 to 1795) said “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” Wow you do not hear that much today now do you?
America is fast running away from our creator and leaving God out and by this welcoming Satan and his demonic forces in. Marriage which is to be held in sacred honor between a man and a woman is now being redefined to say two men can marry and two women can marry.That is not what my Bible says. Immoral lifestyles like this are being protected by laws! If a young person wants to escape this lifestyle heor she is told they were born this way and ridiculed thus getting sucked deeper and deeper into the deception and lies. When a nation turns its head on killing innocent babies in the womb we have gone too far. The Bible is being reinterpreted to suit the needs of its readers at the time.
Proverbs 29:25 says "Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe." This country is thumbing its nose at God and his laws and thankfully we still have the freedom to worship and read our Bibles in public but do not fall asleep as it could be taken away too.
The all familiar verse of 2 Chronicles 7:14 is being preached but are we doing what it 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." This land needs healed in a bad way. You can not continue to remove God from the land and expect it to prosper. America we have to get serious about prayer!
We can not continue to be blessed when our own leaders deny God and even do not allow National Day of Prayer to be celebrated. What is happening America? This is not about a Republican or Democrat but this is about the freedom to proclaim Jesus is Lord over the United States of America. We are free to worship as God gave us those freedoms and man is trying to remove them and put us under bondage to government more each day.
Psalm 37:7-9 says "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed,but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land."
Remember daily to pray for this great nation and its' leaders. I have shared it before but will share it again and that is the website for the presidential prayer team out of Scottsdale, Arizona and it is http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/. You will find many helpful tools to help you pray with a heart like God for those in authority over us.
2 Corinthians 3:17 says "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." I have attached another praise song below. Listen to it in free time and your assignment is to read Deuteronomy 28 about what happens when a nation follows God and what happens when a nation turns its back on God. Be blessed.
PRAYER: Father this great land was founded on you but the enemy is coming in and using people to try to destroy and change the fabric of America. Many are deceived and do not see this happening. Father we pray for those leaders who you have allowed to be in office. Father we ask that you change the hearts of any with evil intent to destroy this great land and turn them from evil to good. This country needs you back on the throne again. In Jesus Name, Amen!
