Fast and pray for America.

We need to pray for revival, a Third Great Awakening — that God would pour out His Holy Spirit and work repentance and revival in our land and give us the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

Fast and pray for America: Our Founding Fathers called numerous fasts. Christians should fast and confess personal and national sins in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14: If 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 and will forgive their sin and heal their land (ESV).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). We can’t lose. They can’t win.

Daily Caller:
VP Kamala Harris: “We have to revitalize the Palestinian Authority”
Breitbart: Vice President Kamala Harris spoke of a post-conflict Gaza built around a revitalized Palestinian Authority (PA) with its own security forces “strengthened” as she entered a round of diplomatic talks with Arab leaders on Saturday. Speaking at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, she also cautioned Israel to do more to protect Palestinian civilians from the “devastating” bombardment (Breitbart). RNC Research: KAMALA HARRIS: “We have to revitalize the Palestinian Authority” (X). DA Marina Medevin: The Palestinian Authority literally pays stipends, millions of dollars, to suicide bombers who killed Jews and their families. The PA literally funds terrorists. Biden administration knows this. They admitted as such to Congress (X). Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman: How exactly would you “revitalize” the PA? Would you have them stop endorsing Hamas and its barbarity? Have them stop blaming Jews for the Holocaust? have them rescind their laws criminalizing homosexuality? Have them rescind their laws making the sale of a Palestinian house to a Jew punishable by death? Have them end their massive financial corruption which funnels billions to their dishonest leaders? have them stop denying basic human rights like freedom of speech and religion? Have them adopt a fair and impartial judiciary? Have them stop their pension system which incentivizes and rewards Palestinian terrorists and their families who attack and murder Jews? have them end their blood libels falsely accusing Jews of attacking Al Aqsa every time they want attention and need to cause a riot? Have them accept Israel as a Jewish State? Under your administration, the US has sent the PA lots of money, but that hasn’t made a dent in any of these. I’d love to hear the plan Madame Vice President. But I know that you don’t have one and, indeed, there is none (X).

 

Chapter III
DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE IN AMERICA. WHEN AND HOW EFFECTED.
The first State that dissolved its connexion with the Church was Virginia, a circumstance that seems surprising at first sight, inasmuch as its early colonists were all sincere friends of its established Episcopal Church, and for a long period were joined by few persons of different sentiments. Indeed, for more than a century dissent was scarcely, if at all, allowed to exist within the commonwealth, even in the most secret manner. (page 105)

The Baptist Church
Has in its American and English history a noble record in favor of freedom and free institutions. The great conflicts of the Reformation under Luther brought them into existence as an ecclesiastical body, and at all times and in all nations they have been loyal to civil and religious liberty. In England, their faith and freedom-loving principles led them, with the Puritans and Independents, to separate from the Church of England, and to seal, as many did, their devotion to truth by a martyr’s death.
Roger Williams, of Rhode Island, was the founder of the Baptist Church in America, ‘ In 1638 he formed a church in Providence: so that the labors of this denomination date from the first era of the Christian history of the country. He had the honor first in this country to enunciate and incorporate into a civil constitution the principle that “the civil power has no jurisdiction over the conscience. The civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control opinion—should punish guilt, but never violate the soul.” “It became his glory,” says [historian George] Bancroft [1800-1891], “to found a state on that principle; and its application has given religious peace to the American world.” Rev. Benjamin F. Morris’ 1864 book The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States. (pages 553-554)

 

 

 

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:1-3 ESV)
