John 1:16-17 (Amplified) says, "For out of His fullness (abundance), we have all received, all had a share and were all supplied with, one Grace after another and Spiritual Blessing upon Spiritual Blessing and even favor upon favor and Gift heaped upon Gift. For while the Law was given through Moses, Grace (unearned, undeserved favor) and Spiritual Blessing and Truth, came through Jesus Christ."
We celebrated Memorial Day this weekend, remembering all those who have served and died for our liberty and freedom. Today, let's remember the One Who should be remembered above all else, Jesus. Romans 8:2 (Amplified) says, "For the Law of the Spirit of Life which is in Christ Jesus (the Law of our new being); has freed me from the Law of Sin and of Death."
This country has been at war with someone else, since we became a nation. The devil has targeted Israel ever since God chose them and so too, has targeted America because we chose God. This nation was founded by men and women who loved God and were a Land, where they could worship and served Him in liberty. This liberty has been confronted by many nations and people, over the years, claiming the lives of many of our brave men and women who defended it. We sometimes forget how precious our liberty is here in our nation and in our Christianity. The harder it is pressed, the more valuable it becomes. We don't seem to really appreciate what we have, until it is threatened.
God founded and raised this nation over two-hundred years ago and it was settled by only a handful of people who loved God. When these Christian people cut a covenant with God over this new world, it became a target the enemy sought to destroy, because God called it "His Own." To this day, it has fought and held against one war after another and has, by God's Grace, held.
The real danger of losing our liberty, happens when we forget those who fought and those who died for that liberty. It happens when people forget what happens to a nation without God. Our true liberty is in Him. When we allow Christianity to become just another religion, we've lost sight of liberty altogether. Communism and socialism are man's idea of living without God. Failure and evil always happen, when man believes he/she can survive without God.
Let's remember with gratitude and thanks, the men and women who fight or fought for our liberty. Let's remember to be thankful for those who pray and let's be someone who does pray, for our continued liberty. The Blessing that's on our nation, depends on the Lordship of Jesus Christ, to guide it. Please, repent and pray for our nation.
