The RIGHT Of The People

July 4, 2024, America’s 248th Birthday! The moment the founders of our great Nation made the unanimous decision to DECLARE our independence!

 

In the opening statements of our God-given, in my opinion, Declaration of Independence, the signers laid out the right of “the thirteen united States…” to make such a pronouncement. They found it necessary for "the one people,” us Americans, “to dissolve the political bands which connected them with another…,” Great Britain. “…and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of…God entitle them…that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

 

These founders of America proclaimed boldly the equality of all humans, stating they are “…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

 

Moreover, our Forefathers, as President Lincoln called them, understood what our Creator instituted “...to secure these rights…” God Most High established earthly “…Governments…among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” meaning us citizens. How do we consent to be governed? We vote to elect leaders who represent us, our morals, and values.

 

However, relying on the Word of God and His wisdom, the signers of our Declaration clearly saw the underlying evil of the earthly king controlling the states. They believed Ephesians 6:12, that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and spiritual darkness. The founders, led by God’s wisdom, understood England’s rule had become harmful, threatening the rights of us, the governed. England had tightened its grip by devising evil by law.[1]

 

Guided by the Almighty, these brave men, who represented us Americans, then declared their solution. They wrote, “…whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles.”[2]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, America has truly fallen from God’s Holy Word and the high ideals stated in our Declaration of Independence. At the time in which we live, our God-given rights have been methodically and systematically stripped away. We cannot freely speak the truth of God if it steps on someone’s toes or makes them feel what they are doing is wrong. We Americans are now governed by an internal “…throne of iniquity which devises evil by law…”[3]

 

Nevertheless, because of our Declaration of Independence, it becomes “…the Right of the People…” or maybe even our DUTY, “…to alter or to abolish it, and institute new Government…” one founded and based on God’s Law. Yet, in America’s current situation, we seek NOT to abolish, but to reestablish AND restore the godly government upon which our nation was founded.

 

Believers know this is only possible IF it’s God’s WILL and IF He does it. But won’t you PRAY with me to that end?

 

O LORD, Jehovah-Nissi our Banner, let your Truth stand strong in and through the United States of America. Remove the veil covering eyes and hearts, that they may see Yeshua Jesus high and lifted up. Let Your light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of the Almighty, shine on them so they choose to believe in Jesus, repent, receive His death as payment for their sin, and not perish but gain eternal life. O LORD, hold back the wickedness in this nation seeking to abolish righteousness and consume your people like ravenous wolves. In Your mercy, provide for us a reprieve and reestablish a righteous government in America. LORD God, we understand we fight not against the flesh and blood persons perpetrating the evil but against Satan and his minions who control those currently occupying the highest offices of our land. Therefore, with the authority Your Holy Spirit has provided, we true believers come against this evil in the name of Yeshua Jesus, and we pray Your Holy Word: “The LORD rebuke you, Satan…”[4] Father, it is our privilege and joy to humble ourselves before You, to pray, seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways. And as we do, O LORD our God, please honor Your Word – hear from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land. In the matchless name of Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus our Messiah, we pray. Amen, and amen.

 

Pray hard and vote the Bible until Jesus meets us in the air!

 

I love you all,

Anita

  WHAT IS TRUTH? Part 1   Flaming torches lit the road as guards carrying swords and clubs surrounded Him. Throughout the night, they tortured, tried, and convicted Him, even though four days earlier, citizens hailed Him as Messiah the Prince. [1] A nearby rooster crowed while a sliver of white light crested the horizon, and a cloaked figure ran from the courtyard weeping. Morning brightened the streets but not the hateful temperaments. Torches doused until night returned, and the evil parade marched on to the Praetorium. https://christianevidences.org/the-praetorium-antonia-fortress-jerusalem/   Outside this notorious citadel, self-righteous Pharisees who had named themselves His judge and jury summoned Pontius Pilate. Normally, a criminal would be escorted inside to the Bema—the judgment seat—but it was Passover. Entering a Gentile dwelling caused defilement making the Jew unable to partake. What a contradiction—what a joke—since they had the TRUE Passover Lamb in their custody

Whatever Happened to Live and Let Live?

         I’ve always loved the movie The Hiding Place —Hollywood’s version of the life of Christian author and speaker Corrie Ten Boom and her family. The Ten Boom’s were arrested for hiding and helping Jews during the German occupation of Holland in World War II. Betrayed by Hollanders who prided themselves in obeying German law, the Ten Boom family spent several years in concentration camps. God graciously rescued Corrie, but most of her family died there.         More recently, I found another movie, The Zookeeper’s Wife , a true account of Antonina and Jan Zabinski, who also hid Jews when the Germans occupied Poland. Yad Vashem in Israel aptly recognized them with the “Righteous Among The Nations” honor.          I love Israel. And it breaks my heart to see the unquenched resurgence of anti-Semitism in New York City. Or to be reminded of Jews suffering at the hands of pure evil—Hitler and his Nazi regime.        But lest we forget, Hitler’s rise to power was slow at fir

In relationships, when there is a rift and reconciliation has occurred, isn’t there a lifting of your spirit, joy in your heart, and an overall good feeling? This was the resident attitude of Bethlehem in Ruth 1:19-22. Because they repented, Bethlehemites were now harvesting barley. Jehovah-jireh, the Lord our Provider, had forgiven their transgressions, sent rain and caused their crops to grow. It was a joyous time of hard work; work Bethlehem had not had in much too long. Into this place and mindset, Naomi and Ruth stepped.
