Freedom 250: Why I Have Hope for America
I promised three weeks ago to leave the negativity of the media and cultural war to celebrate Freedom 250.
It is an amazing time to be alive and trust God for revival in our time.
Twenty-nine centuries ago, Israel’s greatest prophet–Isaiah–spoke truth about encroaching sin/judgment in his generation. Those messages take up the first 39 chapters of the book of Isaiah. He called the people to repentance (change)–the first move toward God for any person or nation.
Then Isaiah ended the Bible’s second largest book with 27 chapters of hope for the Jewish people. He encouraged their faith–the second step of salvation (Mark 1:15).
Here’s why I have hope for America in this generation.
**Freedom 250** – Why I Love America
Fifty years ago on July 4th, 1976, Shirley (my fiancee) and I were helping to coordinate The Spirit in ’76 rally near Philadelphia led by Leland Paris and YWAM Hammonton. Thousands gathered in the “birthplace of freedom” during that bicentennial year to thank God and intercede for the United States of America.
I have a large and beautiful Bicentennial Bible on my bookshelf that highlights the 200-year celebration. Shirley is now my wife of 50 years and Leland recently graduated to heaven at age 87.
This week we celebrate the 250 years of freedom of the most influential nation on earth.
I want the USA to bring glory to God for the next 250 years (if the Lord tarries).
Here’s why I love America.
Freedom 250: The Five Thousand Year Leap
America just saved the world (again) in the War with Iran. The Islamic Republic is a satanically-inspired terrorist nation. They were close to having atomic bombs to use against Israel, the USA, and other countries.
Iran doesn’t respect “mutually assured destruction” (MAD). They believe blowing up the planet will bring the final Mahdi (Messianic Muslim Ruler) to usher in sharia to the cosmos.
We destroyed their navy, air defenses, and economy to bring them to their knees. They surrendered under our terms while we negotiate an enforceable agreement and pray for the Persian people to overthrow them.
America is back as we approach our nation’s 250th birthday.
One historian calls the “miracle of America” a five thousand year leap.
